Students registering to vote on Colonial Quad Tuesday.

Registration drive draws 2,000

CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Continuing past record-breaking efforts to register stu-
dent voters, Student Association has signed up approx-
imately 2,000 voters for the November 4 gubernatorial
and United States Senate elections.

“For the past two years, we have been number one in
voter registration’? among colleges, said SA President
Paco Duarte. ‘‘The voter registration drive is most impor-
tant here.”

Approximately 1,550 of the 2,000 students registered
were freshman who were approached during orientation.

“‘About 90 percent of the students at every orientation
session were registered,”’ said Duarte. ‘‘That’s better than
last year’s ” because SA officials met with each group
personally instead of having orientation assistants register
students, he said.

The 1,550 forms that were completed include “‘those
with errors that will be dealt with during the last week

before the October 6 deadline,”’ said Duarte. About 1,100
forms are error-free,”’ he said.

Members of Central Council’s Student Action Com-
mittee(SAC) have registered approximately 550 students
by tabling on cafeteria dinner lines.

According to SAC Vice-Chair David Jarashow, the
committee registered about 100 Indian Quad residents
last week, about 250 State Quad residents Monday, and
about 200 Colonial Quad residents Tuesday.

SAC will continue registration efforts Monday and
Tuesday by tabling dinner lines on Dutch and Alumni
Quads. A second effort on Indian Quad is also being con-
sidered, said Jarashow.

“I was very surprised that students were so receptive,”
said Jarashow. ‘‘The fact that this is the gubernatorial
race was very important to them.”

“Tt is important for students to show our political
representation,”’ he said. ‘‘We are going to get as many as

(PED) project to build a creative
playground for the school got under-
way. Many more stakes will be set in
place by the hands of Albany frater-
nity members this weekend.

The ‘‘self-help” project, which
has been in the planning stages since
May 1985, will involve the work of
hundreds of volunteers and might
end on Sunday night with the com-
pletion of a playground for the P.S.
16 students and community children.

Twelve fraternities — all members
of SUNYA’s InterFraternity Coun-
cil(@FC) — will participate in the
project.

P.S. 16’s Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion drew IFC’s attention as it
solicited help from a number of
community groups.

Jim Dietz, president of Albany’s
oldest local fraternity, Sigma Lamb-
da Sigma, said, ‘‘it’s natural that
fraternities be involved in something
like this. Fraternities are built on the
idea of brotherhood, and just as it is
natural for brothers to help each
other, it’s also a natural function for
them to help the community they live
in,”’ he said.

SUNYA’s. fraternities, many of
which are currently sponsoring rush
programs, will operate on four-hour
shifts all day Saturday and Sunday
intending to build unity between ex-
isting fraternity brothers and new
pledges.

“It will also set a good example
for newcoming pledge members con-
cerning what a frat is really about,’’
said Boyer.

“Everyone wants to see children
have a good playground to enjoy
themselves in,” Dietz said, “We'd
like to see the kids have this, and
we'd like to help them have it.”

According to Bill Phillips, public
relations chair for the PEP Project
Committee, “‘this project began with
a group of parents who were con-
cerned about the lack of play space
for their children.’”

Hundreds of volunteer workers,
including people from the Sea-Bees
organization National Guard, Job
Corps, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
students, will combine their efforts
in the project.

Pending lawsuit
said to damage
SA-Albany link

Student Association’s battle against Albany’s
grouper law has strained SA relations with City Hall
and could threaten a scheduled on-campus appearance
by Albany Mayor Thomas M. Whalen III.

SA, which received a court-ordered preliminary in-
junction banning the city from enforcing the grouper
law, is currently involved in a lawsuit that could nullify
the law permanently.

The grouper law makes it illegal for more than three
unrelated people to reside at one unit of housing.

The lawsuit is presently before the New York State
Supreme Court in a pre-trial stage.

Whalen was scheduled to appear at a reception spon-
sored by Central Council on October 22 to help im-
prove SUNYA’s relations with the city, according to
Central Council Chair Larry Hartman.

However, Hartman announced at Wednesday’s
Council meeting that the reception could be in
jeopardy.

A meeting scheduled for Monday to discuss the up-
coming reception was cancelled by Michael Phillips,
special administrative a’sistant to the mayor, according
to SA President Paco Duarte.

Hartman attributed the cancellation to problems in
scheduling Whalen’s deposition hearings before SA at-
torneys and also to a recent Knickerbocker News article
which linked Hartman to the lawsuit.

Whalen was originally scheduled to appear for
deposition hearings, also known as examinations
before trial (EBTs), on September 24, but postponed
the meeting until October 6.

In a lawsuit, lawyers have the right to require EBTs,
which allow them to question anyone under oath as a
method of obtaining pertinent information before the
trial. .

According to Vincent McArdle of Corporation
Counsel, City Hall’s representative in the lawsuit, the
postponement was necessary because both Michael
Alvaro, Albany director of code enforcement, and
Michael Haydock, Albany building commissioner,
both of whom were also required to appear, were
unable to attend the hearing on September 24.

Judge Robert W. Kahn, who is presiding over the
suit, ordered the city officials to appear for EBTs
within 10 days following SA attorney Lewis B. Oliver’s
request for the hearings.

“From our perspective, we were given a week’s
notice after Oliver planned [the move] for over a
month,”’ said McArdle, adding that most mayorial
meetings are normally scheduled three or four weeks in
advance.

However, Oliver said he is concerned about possible

Israel raids PLO base

Sidon, Lebanon

(AP) Israeli warplanes Thursday rocketed
an olive grove believed to be the site of a
Palestinian guerrilla base, police said. One
Person was reported killed in the second
Israeli air attack in Lebanon in three days.

In Tel Aviv, the Israeli military com-
mand said the target was a base belonging
to the Fatah guerrilla faction headed by
Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestine
Liberation Organization.

The command said the base consisted of
several tents in a forest south of Sidon.

A commander of the Syrian-backed
Popular Liberation Army militia said one
militiaman was killed and two others were
slightly wounded.

Fi

ino officer shot

Manila, Philippines
(AP) Communist rebels shot dead in an
ambush a senior police officer as he went
to work on Thursday.

The incident occurred about 15 miles
northwest of Manila, the Philippine News
Agency reported.

The agency said Lieut. Col. Angel Lan-
sang, 56 years old, deputy superintendent
of the national police for Bulacan pro-
vince, was alone in his car when rebels
opened fire with automatic rifles and
pistols.

GM lays off workers

Toronto, Canada
(AP) The General Motors Corp. plant in
the Toronto suburb of Scarborough is lay-
ing off half its 2,500 workers because of a
reduction in North American sales of large
vans, according to a union spokesman.
“This is the worst layoff in any GM
plant since 1982,’ Bob Nickerson,
secretary-treasurer of the Canadian Auto
Workers, said Wednesday in an interview.
“Tt indicates a major turnaround in the

auto industry, a softening of the market. |]

It’s a large, serious layoff,’’ Nickerson
said.

report on whether the military forces of
Panama traffic in drugs and arms and
abuse human rights.

The provision was added to the annual
spending authorization for the C.I.A. and
other intelligence agencies. Contents of the
bill are always secret but are detailed for
senators in a separate appendix.

After the provision was approved, the
bill was passed on a voice vote and sent to
a conference committee with the House,
whose version of the bill contains no such
direction. The House would have to agree
with the Senate.

The amendment_ was sponsored by
Senator Jessee Helms, Republican of
North Carolina, who has long asserted
that the Panamanian armed forces
engage in a long list of abusive activities.

Pot potency increased

Jackson, Miss.
(AP) Marijuana has become more potent
in the last 12 years to satisfy users who
have developed a tolerance to it, resear-
chers reported.

Studies done by the University of
Mississippi Research Institute of Phar-
maceutical Sciences, which tests samples
of marijuana seized by enforcement of-
ficials, know that the average content of
tetrahydrocannabol, the active ingredient
in marijuana, has risen from 0.5 percent in
1974 to 3.5 percent in 1985.

“Smoking one marijuana cigarette now

is equivalent (to) smoking seven (mari-
juana) cigarettes nine or ten years ago,”’
said Mahmoud Elsohly, assistant director
of the institute.

“Tt just means that the people are get-
ting more addicted so they need more of
the active ingredient just like any other
drug,”’ he said in a telephone interview.

D.C. raises age to 21

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The District of Columbia, under
pressure from Congress and neighboring
states, has acted to raise the legal age for
drinking. beer and wine to 21.

But Washington will exempt those who
become 18 before Oct. 1 under a measure
approved Tuesday by the District of Col-
f+ umbia Council on a voice vote.

The exemption was considered the key
to getting the measure passed because
some Council members objected to taking
an existing privilege away from 18-year-
olds.

The legal age for liquor-in the District
already is 21. -

agreed Thursday to have at least one

O’Rourke’s running mate.

But Lundine’s campaign manager,
Deborah Sale, said that if Cuomo and
O’Rourke didn’t start having debates,
there would likely be no other Lundine-
Kavanagh debates.

In a letter to Kavanagh, the Jamestown
congressman said that he had told his staff
to accept an invitation from the New York
Times to a debate on Oct. 14.

Lundine said that Kavanagh’s decision
to release 10 years of income tax returns
was the reason for accepting the debate.

Autopsy questioned

Syracuse
(AP) A pediatrician testified at the murder
trial of Stephen Van Der Sluys that he was
“uncomfortable” with an autopsy report
that stated the defendant’s 3-month old
daughter died from Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome.

“It’s just an uncomfortable feeling with

-| the report,” said Dr. Robert S. Chavkin,

who examined the infant, Heather Van
Der Sluys, four times before her death on
Jan. 7, 1977.

Chavkin Wednesday told Onondaga
County Judge William J. Burke, who is
hearing the case without a jury, that he
had no reason to question~the autopsy
teport. He attributed his uneasiness to the
fact the couple ‘“thad already lost another
child..under circumstances which were
somewhat unexplainable.”

N.Y. may save $925M

Albany
(AP) New York state residents would even-
tually save $925 million annually if propos-
ed legislation meant to overhaul federal
tax law is adopted, says State Comptroller
Edward Regan.

The comptroller said Wednesday that
$218 million of that savings, when the tax
overhaul is fully effective in 1988, would
to to New York City taxpayers.

The Republican comptroller said that
while the tax overhaul legislation would
eventually provide such saving, first-year
savings would be less dramatic and in the
case of New York City would even mean
an increase in federal taxes.

During the 1987 transition year, Regan
said New York state taxpayers would save
$153 million. However, New York City
taxpayers would face an increase of $179
million, due largely to the fact that there
were many single filers and upper-income
taxpayers in the city.

Terminal on hold

Greyhound Bus Lines has received a
six-week extension on its bid before the
Colonie Town Planning Board to
relocate its terminal to Colonie, said
Greyhound spokesperson Scott
Timmerman.

“We knew that the Town Planning
Board had concerns about available
parking [at the Colonie terminal],”’
Timmerman said. ‘‘We decided to ask
for more time, not wanting them to res-
pond negatively,”’ said Timmerman.

According to Timmerman,
Greyhound planned for 18 parking
spaces at the new bus terminal. “They
[the Town Planning Board] felt that we
might need more,” said Timmerman.

“*We are now looking at getting addi-
tional land connected to the facility or a
short distance away from it,” said
Timmerman.

Center plans rally

A “Take Back the Night’’ public rally
will be held tonight at 7:00 PM on the
Capitol steps. A march through
Albany’s streets will begin immediately
after the rally at approximately 8:15
p.m.

The Albany County Rape Crisis
Center is sponsoring the event, and ac-
cording to Deputy Director Debbie
Schramek, ‘‘The purpose [of the rally] is
to educate the public about the subject
of sexual assault.”

The rally has taken place for the last
five years. “‘This year it has changed,”
said Schramek. ‘‘There is a greater em-
phasis on not only women. Last year 60
percent of our victims were children.
Men have also been victims. It is a
universal problem and we are opening
the rally to men for the first time this
year. They have a stake in this, too,”
she said.

The rally is open to anyone who wants
to participate.

SUNYA gets grant

SUNYA, RPI, and Union have
received a $150,000 grant for work on a
program to help 250 minority students,
said Library System Director Roger
Gifford.

“The program is designed for minori-
ty high school students so they will have
better preparation for college,’”” said
Gifford. It is funded by the State Educa-
tion Department.

“Many minority students get washed-
out in high school,”’ Gifford said, ex-
plaining that ‘‘many guidance students
tell them [minority students] not to take
courses in science or math, and then the
students are not prepared for college.”

The award money does not go directly
to students, according to Gifford, but is
rather used to provide general educa-
tional services.

SUNYA’s program will be at Albany
high school and provide services such as
tutoring and field trips.

New copier due

Rapid Copy, located in B25 of the
Business Administration Building, is
getting a new copy machine.

“‘We’re replacing the Xerox 9200 with
the Xerox 1090,’’ said Tony
DiDomenico, Publications Production
Assistant for Rapid Copy.

“The 9200 has exceeded its life expec-
tancy,”’ DiDomenico said. ‘‘After a cer-
tain number of copies have been run,
the company doesn’t have the respon-
sibilities of servicing it anymore,’ he
said. Z

Prices this year have been reduced,
DiDomenico said, because Rapid Copy!
has ‘“‘done a lot of internal changes and
gotten rid of machines we didn’t need.
Copies are now 7% cents per copy in-
stead of the previous 12 cents per

copy.”

Uptown student patrols will now be
limited to the academic podium under a
new student marshal program, which will
also expand patrols to include Alumni
Quad for the first time.

The student marshal program, expected
to begin operation in a few weeks, will
consist of a two-person team patrolling the
academic podium seven days a week from
6 to 11 p.m.

“Student marshals will serve as eyes and
ears on matters relating to health and safe-
ty, vandalism and selected university
policies,’ said Director of Campus Life
James Doellefeld.

The new program is a reworking of the
student patrol program, which had been
operating under the Public Safety Depart-
ment for the last several years, said Public
Safety Director James Williams.

Under Public Safety’s program,

and the Austrian Institute of

and use of satire.

SYMPOSIUM

Williams said, uptown student patrols
were responsible for covering not only the
podium, but also residence halls and park-
ing lots.

“That program, for whatever reason did
not work,” said Vice President for Student
Affairs Frank Pogue.

However, Williams said the new pro-
gram would be ‘‘as effective as the old
one.””

The student marshal program is now be-
ing coordinated by the Student Affairs of-
fice and administered by Doellefeld.

According to Pogue, the marshal pro-
gram was “‘introduced as a new concept’”
and will be ‘‘more student-oriented”’ than
the old program.

Doellefeld will not coordinate the
downtown operation, said Pogue. The
Alumni Quad program will work directly
under Director of Residential Life John
Martone, who has not yet named a
downtown coordinator, Pogue said.

Franz Heinrich Hackel (above) was one of man epee to peticcs in the In-
ternational Karl Kraus Symposium held at SU! s

to 23. Organized by SUNYA’s Department of Germanic Languages an
lew York City, the symposium examined the
writings of Kraus, a noted German author, and explored topics such as his style

According to Doellefeld, students par-
ticipating in the marshal program will be
equipped with two-way radios. if a poten-
tially dangerous situation arises, the mar-
shals will radio the Campus Center Infor-
mation Desk, which will then call Public
Safety to have an officer dispatched.

“The development of the program is not
in response to a specific incident or
trend,”’ said Doellefeld. “‘It is a university
program designed to help provide for a
safe campus.”’

Student marshals, said Doellefeld, will
not have the power to apprehend.
“Students will not act as police, but will
call on the police to respond,’’ he said.

However, Student Association President
Paco Duarte said he is concerned because
he has not received a description of the stu-
dent marshals’ responsibilities.

Duarte said he wants to ensure that the
marshals aren’t ‘‘police-oriented . . . like
they [Residential Life] made them to be
now.””

Duarte also said he was upset because he
was only informed of the program a day
before it was initiated and because student
groups were not contacted.

“It’s a total disregard for student in-
put,”’ Duarte said.

However, Duarte added that he thought
the program was an ‘“‘excellent initiative.”

Those accepted into the program will
participate in an orientation program in
which Public Safety officers, will teach
“basic safety . . . how to approach a
situation and not aggravate it,” said
Williams.

Williams added that student marshals
should not have to call upon Public Safety
very often while on duty.

“If the student marshals require the
presence of an officer, then one would be
dispatched,”” Williams said, ‘‘but most
will be fully able to take care of the situa-
tion themselves.’

The marshals will be identified by an
outer shell jacket and will be also be equip-
ped with a flashlight, Doellefeld said.

According to Williams, the student mar-
shals are ‘‘just an addition’’ to a security
officer who also patrols the academic
podium. ‘‘It’s always better to have extra
eyes and ears around,” he said.

Students interested in becoming a mar-
shal must complete ah application to
Doellefeld and, if selected, will work one
five-hour shift per week at a $4 per hour
salary.

Doellefeld said that he is particularly in-
terested in recruiting women.

“This idea is one whereby students have
hands-on responsibility for safety in the
community where they live and go to
school,”’ Doellefeld said.

O’Rourke pushes for Cuomo debate

Albany
(AP) Republican Andrew O’Rourke said
he wants to debate Governor Mario
Cuomo so badly that he’s willing to release
the tax returns Cuomo has been deman-
ding for months and buy the television
time for the debate.

All Cuomo has to do is show up, the
Republican candidate for governor told a
state Capitol news conference Thursday.

Cuomo aides said a debate, but pro-
bably not a televised one, would be
scheduled after O’Rourke released infor-
mation demanded by the governor.

O’Rourke aides said the response from
the Cuomo camp was new evidence that
Cuomo was still ducking debates.
O’Rourke spokeswoman Claire Palermo
said the public wanted televised debates
and O’Rourke was going ahead with plans
to stage one.

For several months, Democrat Cuomo
has said that as a pre-condition to any
debates O’Rourke must release at least 10
years worth of tax returns and reveal any
legal work he did before county agencies
while he was an elected official in

Governor Mario Cuomo

Westchester County.

“7’m challenging Mario to show up,””
O’Rourke told a state Capitol news con-
ference as he announced that he had spent
$30,000 for a half-hour’s television time
for the debate.

“Ym going to show him my taxes, let’s
have a debate,’’ said O’Rourke. ‘‘If he
turns up, the taxes will be available.”

The Republican county executive said
Thursday, as he has in the past, that he
can’t remember doing any legal work

. before county agencies while he was an

elected official. But he refused to put that
statement in writing for Cuomo.

‘His minions have looked into all my
records,”’ said O’Rourke. ‘‘If they have
something, let them release it.’’

“This is a great victory for the public
right to know and a good precedent for the
electoral process,”’ said Cuomo campaign
spokesman Gary Ryer of O’Rourke’s
move Thursday. ‘“The governor has asked
his campaign staff to contact the
O’ Rourke campaign and inform them that
as soon as they have these records
available, we will arrange for an organiz-
ed, independent and appropriate forum
for a meaningful debate of the issues.””

However, Fryer also said ‘‘television
does not lend itself to a meaningful debate.
We’re looking for something of
substnace.””

“The governor doesn’t want a debate,”’
responded Palermo. ‘‘He wants to throw
another roadblock in the way. We leave
our challenge open to him.”

In agreeing to release 10 years worth of
tax returns if Cuomo showed up for the

Patroon room offers campus dining alternative

By David Spalding
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Let’s be honest with ourselves,
if just for a moment. How many
of you know the name of the
restaurant located in the Campus
Center where you can order
Chicken Florentine, Shrimp
Adriatico, or a~ three-martini
lunch for under $5.00?

How many people even know
that for the past 20 years Univer-

sity Auxiliary Services’ (UAS)
Patroon Room has been serving
from an inexpensive a la carte
menu, high above the noisy
crowds of the Campus Center
cafeteria and the Rat?

Robert Fox, director of the
Campus Center’s food service,
described the Patroon Room as

SUNYA debaters beat
visiting British squad

By Ilene Weinstein
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Proving their argument ‘‘it’s
not what you say but how you say
it,’’ members of the Albany State
Debate Society triumphed over a
pair of British debaters in the
society’s first meet of the semester
Thursday night.

Society President. Mark
Brisman and Vice President Alan
Rafterman used quotations from
Winston Churchill and William
Shakespeare to win the argument
by a score of 22-18.

Debates are scored by members
of the audience, who cast their
vote by exiting through a door
specified for each team.

In his inauguration speech in
1940, Churchill declared that his
“aim is victory” in World War IT
and Great Britain will be vic-

torious through “‘blood, toil,
tears, and sweat’’, said
Rafterman.

“He [Churchill] didn’t say

anything that hadn’t already been
said,” debated Rafterman, “‘but
he spoke with confidence.”

“The object of any speaker is
to persuade and convince,”’ said
Brisman. ‘‘Style is what most in-
fluences the group. It enhances
content.””

Content isn’t all that’s impor-
tant, but content is primary,
countered British debater Gary
Bell of Bristol Law School. “If

you say something totally in-
significant and stupid like ‘New
Jersey’,’’ but in a flowery voice,
which is more important — con-
tent or style? asked Bell.

‘To say’, according to
Webster’s Dictionary, means ‘‘to
express a belief or opinion.”’ But,
according to Brisman, to “‘get up
here and say ‘New Jersey’,
doesn’t say anything
worthwhile.””

“Why do we remember great
speeches [like Churchill’s]? For
content or the way they were
spoken? he asked.

Bell and his partner, Mark
Malcomson of Edinburgh Univer-
sity, are on an 11-week tour of the
United States sponsored by the
Speech and Communication
Association of America. The tour
has so far included debates with
teams from Pace University and |
Marist College and additional
meets in Indianapolis, Chicago,
and California are also scheduled.

According to the All-England
champion Bell, he and Malcom-
son, the All-Scotland champion,
have been partners for only four
days and did not know each other |
before the tour.

“This is the first time I’ve been
in the U.S. or in any of the }
Queen’s colonies, for that mat-
ter,’’ said Bell, using humor as a i]
style of debate.

As the hostess took me to my
table, I realized Fox wasn’t kid-
ding when he said it was a place to
relax. The throng of hungry,
pushing students fighting for
lunch were absent from the
Patroon Room.

‘*They are probably all
downstairs waiting in line for
mini-subs and French bread piz-

as,” I thought with a smile as I
sat down and scanned the menu.

“It’s actually a supplement or
alternative to snack bar or
cafeteria food,’ said Fox. ‘We
offer daily specials, including a
vegetarian special as well as a new
item, the ‘soup and salad bar’ for
$3.45,”"he added.

Indeed, Fox was on the money
again when he said the Patroon
Room was an alternative.
“Quiche Du Jour’’ ($4.50), ‘“The
Reuben Grill’’ ($3.95), and a Fri-
day special, baked stuffed half-
lobster ($4.25) are just some of
“the alternatives.”

Deli .and club sandwiches,
lunch salads, omelettes, and ham-
burgers round out the menu. That
is, if you skip the dessert cart
“‘made in our bakery on cam-

us,”’ added Fox.

A pleasant waitress came to
take my order and asked if I’d
like a drink.

“Do you have a full bar?” I
asked coyly, remembering I was
on an incognito assignment.

“Yes we do, would you like a
drink?’’ she replied.

“T think I’ll just have coffee,’”
I said, as I remembered a jour-
nalist doesn’t drink on
assignment.

I decided to order the crabmeat
quiche, which was on special for
$4.25. After drinking half a cup
of coffee and taking four drags
off a cigarette, my smiling
waitress returned with my lunch.

“Well, the service is fast and
friendly,’ 1 thought, “‘but don’t
forget the bottom line—the
food.””

I was not disappointed. The
quiche was an excellent choice,
and Fox informed me after lunch
that the Patroon Room had an
Italian chef who enjoys dabbling
with ‘European cuisine.””

The Patroon also passes my
ultimate UAS test. It is 8 PM as 1
write this (six and one half hours
since dining), and I have not had
vicious bowel pains followed by

the inevitable runs.

As I looked around the dining
room to inspect the clientele, 1
noted that it consisted over-
whelmingly of faculty and
administrators.

“‘A lot of students don’t realize
they can eat up here,”’ said Dining
Room Manager Diane Smith. The
Patroon Room accepts commuter
lunch meal cards and the campus
center option is accepted from
11:30 AM to 12:00 PM and from
1:00 PM to 1:45 PM, when the
dining room stops serving, she
said.

“We have reservations,” said
Smith. ‘‘Each day is different,
but we can always accom-
modate,’’ she added.

According to Fox, on October
15 the Patroon Room will offer
an ‘‘All-you-can-eat’’ Columbus
Day Italian Buffet for $4.75. It
runs from 5 PM to 9 PM and
entertainment will be featured.

Well, now you know where the
Patroon Room is (Campus Center
second floor, above the
bookstore) and you know you can
afford it, so avoid the crowds and
enjoy the excellent service and
good food.

Chapel House welcoming new staff members

By Roger Erickson

The Chapel House staff has
two new faces this semester, both
eager to reach the student
population.

“I feel committed to be here.
I’m not looking beyond,’’ said
the new Lutheran pastor, John
Fritz.

“I hope to
reach out to
those not
previously in
the JSC [Jewish
Student Coalition],”’ said Carol
Needleman, the new JSC-Hillel
director/advisor.

“I’m here supported by all the
branches of the Lutheran church
to be a Christian presence on
campus and serve all the
students,”’ said Fritz.

Needleman, a Jewish chaplain
from Boston, Massachussetts,
said she hopes to reach ‘‘all
dimensions of Jewish life and
practice.”

“To one Jewish student,
religion could be important to
them. To another it could be the
culture, like eating Jewish food,”’
said Needleman.

college experience as a time for
religious growth and questioning
for students.

Consequently, they said they
wear ‘‘different hats’’ on the job.
Their functions include spiritual
support, informal or formal
counseling, encouragement for
individual growth, and a resource
for those evaluating their beliefs
and values.

“Some people believe the
things they were taught, but they
never looked critically at it,’’ said
Fritz. I help them dump that and
pick up their own pieces. Those
are really theirs.

-“T think students are open to
really radically looking at their
lives. They ask, ‘Why am I here?
Simply to party? Or am I here for
the people?’”’ said Fritz.

QUESTION #1.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE
FOR MOST COLLEGE STUDENTS?

a) AT&I. —for everyday discounts of 40% to over
50% off weekday rates on out-of-state calls.

b) Short bursts of intense study followed by
hours of frantic partying.

Fritz compared the job of a
pastor to a shepherd whose job is
“to care about God’s people,
which is everyone.”

Needleman, a graduate of the
University of Rochester and
George Washington University,
has extensive experience in Judaic
studies. She has traveled to Israel
three times to study and volunteer
her service, both as an English
teacher in a junior high school
and a drawing teacher in a youth
center. Before coming to
SUNYA, she was director of stu-
dent activities at Boston
University.

According to Needleman, her
interest in Judaism is the result of
her synagogue, rabbi, family and
college experience in JSC-Hillel,

“This is the way I’ve chosen to
go,”’ said Needleman, adding she
doesn’t plan on becoming a rabbi.

Fritz grew up on Long Island
and graduated from Concordia
Senior College in Fort Wayne, In-
diana and Concordia Seminary in
St. Louis, Missouri. From there,
he was involved in campus
ministry at SUNY Plattsburgh
and was later parish pastor in
Southwick, Massachusetts.

According to Fritz, his own
Pastor played a large part in giv-
ing him the religious calling, ad-
ding, ‘‘The first thing that at-
tracted me is that my faith has
always been important to me and
my family growing up.”

Working with people is
challenging, rewarding, and
frustrating ‘‘at times,”’ said Fritz,
adding, ‘‘with people sometimes
the growth is slower and not as
apparent.””

Needleman and Fritz stressed
that their role at Chapel House is
to help the students. Every
Wednesday night there is a com-
munity supper attended by all the
religions at St. Margaret Mary’s
from five to seven in the evening.
Highlights include guest speakers
that talk on anything from
nuclear arms to local topics.

Chapel House requests that
students sign up in the Religious
Affairs office in CC 356,
although it is not required.

Neither Needleman nor Fritz is
daunted by SUNYA’s large size.
“P’m looking forward to a good
year,”’ Needleman said. ‘‘I think
we’ll have one.”’ Oo

further delays. “If it becomes a
matter of delaying tactics I will
definitely take it up with Judge
Kahn,”’ he said.

Hartman said that in light of
these circumstance, he felt
Whalen would be uncomfortable
about attending the October 22
reception. ‘‘He [Whalen] doesn’t
want to be put on the spot,’ said
Hartman.

“We're not attacking the
mayor’s person, but we have to
look out for the best interests of
the students,”” said Hartman to
Council.

At the meeting, Hartman also
made reference to a September 19
Knickerbocker News article which
he felt could also play a factor in
Whalen’s decision concerning the
reception.

The article stated the names of
some of the students filing suit
with the city. Hartman was men-
tioned in the article, although he
is not presently a plaintiff in the
case.

However, Phillips said that the
scheduling of the reception is
totally separate from the lawsuit.

Whalen was unavailable for
comment.

Hartman said that Whalen’s
cancellation would put a damper
on the reception, but “hopefully
we'll be able to resolve our dif-
ferences,”’ he added.

Meanwhile, SA is continuing its
pursuit of the proceeding against
the city, but needs to acquire new
plaintiffs to replace those who
graduated last year.

According to Duarte, SA is
already beginning to sign up new
plaintiffs for the lawsuit. SA Vice
President Doug Tuttle is working
with Duarte to involve students in
the suit.

Duarte said SA’s relations with
the city ‘‘are right on the
borderline.’’ He added, ‘‘it is very
important for Doug [Tuttle] and
myself to meet with Phillips and
discuss these issues.

“We know we have a problem,
and we have to deal with it profes-
sionally,” said Duarte. oO

debate, O’Rourke denied that he was bow-
ing to what he called ‘‘dictatorial’’
demands from the governor. O’Rourke
said he was prepared to release the returns
because Cuomo’s constant talk about the
issue had put ‘a cloud” over the
O’Rourke campaign.

Cuomo has. said the disclosures he’s
demanded are important because

O’Rourke raised the issue of government
corruption and had implied that Cuomo
was somehow involved with the New York
City corruption scandals. There has been
no evidence that Cuomo was involved in
the corruption scandals and no evidence
that O’Rourke sought favors for legal
clients from county agencies.

There seemed to be some question as to
whether O’Rourke would release his tax

returns if Cuomo didn’t show up for the
debate.

“T’m not answering that,” O’Rourke
said at one point.

“J will not release my taxes unless he
shows up,’’ said O’Rourke moments later.

O’Rourke said that if Cuomo did show
up, the media would be given an additional
six years worth of tax returns just prior to
the Oct. 5 debate that would be broadcast

by WPIX-TV in New York City.
O’Rourke has already made public four
years worth of returns.

The GOP'candidate, who’s trailing bad-
ly in the polls and has little campaign
money, said that he wouldn’t release his
tax returns before the debate because ‘‘I
really can’t trust Cuomo . . . The next
thing you know he’ll want my mother’s
blood type.’’ oO

To prove their status as number

The contest was devised during

August, said Duarte.

Affirmative action seen as a positive practice

By John Reavis

Affirmative action requires an
employer to do more than ensure
employment neutrality with
regard to race, color, religion,
sex, age, national origin, and
disability. As the phrase implies,
affirmative action requires
employers to
makeadditional Beyond

cluded, even if that exclusion can-

not be traced to particular
discriminatory actions by the
employer.

Current Federal regulations im-

pose on federal contractors an
obligation to meet racial goals
and time tables or lose lucrative
government contracts. Over the
past years, the most substantial
pressure to hire more minorities
and women has come not from
the government, but from private
sources both inside and outside
the University.

The question of whether affir-
mative action is a goal or a quota
is determined by the practices of
the institution involved. Under a
quota, an employer may be forc-
ed to hire applicants who are
plainly less qualified than others.
With a goal, one need not go that
far. Yet, if minority or female ap-
plicants exist and have qualifica-

“J don’t stand against intona-
tion and humor, but it’s impor-
tant what is said,”’ Bell declared.

“In the United States,
hospitality is a feeling of warmth
that comes from the heart,”’ said
Malcomson. ‘But in Britain, we
pride ourselves on things from the
heart and what we say.”

The Albany team “‘uses quotes
from other people to back up
their arguments and not pure
rhetorical skills. Do they have
any?’’ asked Malcomson.

“If you talk loud and say

like in an personal relationship,
“you can bluff your way in a
disco for a wee while, and in the
morning you won’t be able to
keep the relationship going,” he
said.

Walter Mondale demolished
Gary Hart’s campaign by using
the “‘Where’s the Beef” slogan,
the British debaters maintained.

Hart was a great orator, said
Malcomson. ‘‘but when you

employers are likely to choose
them in an effort to meet their
targets.

Is this practice unfair? On
balance no, Minorities and
women benefit at the expense of
white males as a group. Never-
theless, this is not reverse
discrimination. Any unfairness
that exists is much less clear-cut
and more diffuse than it is when a
firm hires minorities or women

habits of discrimination and over-
sight that persist to the detriment
of women and minorities in many
firms and sectors of the economy.

Even if we can justify the mild
advantages conferred by goals,
some critics still agrue that affir-
mative action stigmatizes those
people it’s supposed to aid and
undermines a person’s self-
respect by suggesting that they
cannot succeed without govern-
ment help.

For those few that think that
way: be reminded of the condi-
tion that many minorities and
women face. Black unemploy-
ment is still more than twice that
of whites.The jobless rate for
black teenagers exceeds 40 per-
cent. Over one quarter of all
black men between the ages of 20
and 24 have dropped out of the
economy entirely. This situation
is, above all, a tragedy for blacks

and. other minorities who must
endure the deprivations of living
without work.. But this problem
which affects all of us - takes its
daily toll through added crime,
welfare payments, unemployment
compensation, and urban decay.

Granted, it would be better to
find a way of attacking the pro-
blem of economic inequality that
did not involve even the faintest
sort of preference or the slightest
threat of stigma. But in these cir-
cumstances until alternative pro-
grams are funded and working
well, I for one will continue to set
goals that I know can be reached
so that the Student Association
can achieve a student government
that represents the diversity of
this university.

Guest list -

Groundbreaking on the new Fuller Road dorm
began Monday, and almost everyone who was anyone
was there. Everyone that is, except a few key student
leaders, who should have been on the top of the
University’s guest list.

Noticeably missing from the proceedings were
Student Association officers and representatives from
the student media. The University saw fit to notify
members of the professional media, as well as an
influential local politician or two.

But when it came to notifying students, who are
supposed to be the beneficiaries of the dorm, the
University carelessly overlooked that duty. We
received our notification a few hours after the event
had taken place.

It seems more important to the school that they
convey an image of caring for its students to the
general public. It seems almost trivial to the school
that they should bother to tell its students the same
message.

As members of the student media, we were
disappointed that the University did not notify us on
time. But it had no real effect on our news coverage;
we still got the story on time.

As members of the student body, we find it insulting
that the University didn’t consider students important
enough to tell their two major sources of infomation,
SA and the ASP

Ticket to ride

If you were uptown Thursday night and needed a
bus ticket to go downtown, you were out of luck. If
you were without taxi fare, you were stranded.

At least one SUNY Albany student found himself in
that predicament. He called the Public Safety
Department, two quad cafeterias, and the Campus
Center Information Desk. He walked to the
Rathskellar snack bar, the visitors’ parking lot booth,
the bus stop at the circle, and the library.

None of those places were selling bus coupon books.
All of those locations, except for the library, should
have been.

The student first” called the Public Safety
Department, only to find that the machine there was
broken. The Public Safety desk officer gave the
student a list of several places that should have had bus
tickets for sale.

The first place on the list was the quad cafeterias.
But bus tickets are only sold there during regular meal
hours, and not during sub shop hours.

The next stop was the Rat snack shop. But they
stopped selling bus tickets last semester.

Then the student called Campus Center
Information. He was told that bus tickets were not
available uptown that ‘night, and that he should
explain his situation to a supposedly lenient bus driver,
who would hopefully accept a dime or a quarter in
place of a ticket.

Armed with those instructions, the student marched
to the circle, where he briefly peered into the visitors’
parking lot booth. It was closed.

He made his way to an awaiting bus, hoping to find
that lenient driver. All he got were some misguided
instructions from a driver who sent him to the library
looking for bus tickets that weren’t there.

In a final gesture he knew would be futile, he
wandered back to the Campus Center lobby to
confirm that the chronically broken bus ticket vending
machine was still out of order.

The machine, which has to be one of the longest-
running jokes at this university, was indeed, broken.
But to that student and any other person who was
stranded uptown, the situation is hardly laughable.

If the University continues to insist on charging

students for bus service, the least it could do is to |

ensure that bus tickets are always available.

How much money or effort does it take to keep one
machine operative? And why can’t the Public Safety
Department have a real person sell bus tickets, rather
than a machine that’s waiting to be broken? Surely
they have adequate security to handle the cash.

There’s really no excuse for the lack of concern the

university showed Thursday night. It couldn’t have
been that difficult to devise a temporary ticket sales
Plan or accept a small loss on the evening by not
collecting tickets.
If the University professes to have any interest in the
welfare of its students, and particularly the safety of
women on campus, it should make sure that Thursday
night’s insensitive oversight will never take place
again.

Soda wars at SUNYA

About sixteen thousand students attend classes at this
University. There are 1,248 concrete columns on the
podium and 400,000 gallons of water in the water tower,
which is about the only asymmetrical structure on the up-
town campus.

And University Auxiliary Services (UAS) sells 1.3
million cans of soda per year. That’s one-comma-three
followed by five zeros. 1,300,000.

James O’Sullivan

With all those numbers there’s only one question to
ask: Why is it that us non-diet soda drinkers have a choice
between Pepsi, Mountain Dew, or else water? Let’s be
serious, Pepsi is fine but that Mountain Dew has the color
of toxic chemicals or animal urine. Or some combination
thereof. Diet drinkers, on the other hand, have two
flavors of Slice as well as Diet Pepsi.

The answer comes down to one word, but only after a
lengthy conversation and schmooze-session with UAS
General Manager Norb Zahm and Vending Services
Director Paul Arnold. The word? Economics.

UAS tries to provide products that sell, which any com-
pany which does twelve and a half million dollars in sales
per year probably does pretty well. And diet sodas are in.
According to Zahm, who admits to being surprised at the
figures, Pepsi is the top choice soda but Diet Pepsi is just
about as popular.

Arnold jumps right in here to point out that the
numbers reflect an industry trend, that many of the non-
diet, non-Nutrasweet, non-sacharine alternatives like
caffeine-free sodas are receiving less advertising dollars
than a few months ago, and are being relegated to a lower
tier in the world of soda retailing.

SUNYA is insulated from a good part of the big
business world of soda retailing by a simple fact of life,
says Arnold. The school doesn’t have enough room to
provide vending space to more than one brand of soda, so
when Pepsi offered a better bid to UAS two years ago the
Coke machines were out and Pepsi was in. Zahm says
now that he was braced for a lot of complaints at the time
but that he received ‘‘only two calls.”

The vending business relies on the bottom line at
SUNYA, says Arnold. If it sells it stays, if it doesn’t, it
goes. as Orange Crush. Or, as Arnold was saying a few
months ago, ‘Take it, please’. Sam, for I “Reer
and Teem. The case is not the SHE ee
message is: Keep Diet Slice in the machines,”’ says Zahm.
It’s economics speaking again, not just some market
research report. In fact, ‘‘market surveys in general have
not been all that useful to us,”” Zahm says diplomatically.
Or he could just say that everybody seems to say ‘‘Yes’’
to every propsed changed: Should UAS offer Coke pro-
ducts? Yes. Pepsi-free? Yes. Double-stuff Oreos? Yes.

Pina colada flavored ices? Yes. Marijuana brownies?
Yes. (Actually, they probably never asked that last ques-
tion). It’s a real problem when everybody wants
everything. Ask Santa Claus. Instead, UAS relies on dif-
ferent forms of input, says Zahm, including ideas from
each quad’s Food Committee.

But the final choice is reserved to the UAS people, and
it all boils down to what sells. ‘‘We’ll start with the basic
products we think students want,” says Zahm. If the pro-
ducts don’t pan out, they scrap the product. The caffeine-
free sodas are victims of that logic. ““We have eliminated
those...sales are not there for us here on campus,”’ says
Arnold.

SE ER

UAS sells over 35,000 cans of
soda in a typical week. So
why is there so little choice

for the non-diet soda drinker?

Maybe the answer is on
Colonial quad. They buy
more than any other quad.

According to Arnold, vending accounts for $1.5
million of UAS’s total sales, and the biggest vending item
is soda. In the third week of September of this year, for
example, people bought over 9,000 candy bars (Snickers
is the most popular both here and in the ‘real’ world);
7,000 snack items; 4,000 fruit juices; and 35,200 cans of
soda. In one week. Some of the 73 machines leased from
Pepsico are refilled as often as three times a day. And so
far this year Colonial residents are drinking more soda
than any other quad, says Arnold, but Indian got that ti-
tle last year.

And UAS is trying to keep up with technical changes in
the ‘automatic merchandising”’ industry as well. Zahm
points to a new bill-changer on Indian Quad with an in-
tegrated message board. It could be on other quads soon
if the machine holds out. But UAS is less enthusiastic
about a more celebrated innovation: the talking soda
machine. Says Zahm, “If you have to hear that thing go
off a thousand times a day somebody is going to take an
axe to it.”” :

September 26, 1986

cAspectfully Yours,

I've never really been a ‘bar person.’ That is to say, up until a few years ago I felt
grossly uncomfortable even going near a bar. It seems that late in my teenage years
I developed a terrible complex about being underaged. I wanted to be a bar person,
but in order to learn to be comfortable in the bar, first I had to somehow get past
the Bouncer.

When I was seventeen, I would often begin a typical Saturday night sitting in the
parking lot of a local bar/disco having an argument with my date:

“I won't, Chris. I just won't.”

“But why, Ev? Won't you even try?’

“No, I won't.”

“What are you afraid of?”

“Tm not afraid of anything. I just don’t want to go in there, that's all.”

“But Evelyn, the worst thing that could possibly happen is tht the bouncer won’t
let you in.”

“Yes. And | will be completely humiliated.”

Well this time I gave in. I approached the entrance with Chris, my heart
palpitating, trying furiously not to make eye contact with the Bouncer.

“I need to see some I.D., please,” he said to us.

“Sure,” said Chris, as he smoothly removed his wallet and displayed his very
legal driver's license. Sure, I said to myself, it's easy to be suave when you're legal.

“Um, uh, I don’t have any I.D. on me, sir,” I stuttered. [In Bouncer dialect this
translates into: | am underaged and I don’t belong here. But please have mercy and
don’t embarrass me in front of my date.] I flashed a very nervous, very underaged
smile. There | stood, dressed to kill for a Saturday night out on the town — but no,
Thad no ID. on me.

The Bouncer grinned and nodded knowingly. I was sure I knew what he was
thinking. “She must think I'm some kind of moron. She can’t be more than seven-
teen. And I'm sure she always goes out without any I.D.”

“I'm sorry. I can’t let you in without proper I-D.” the Bouncer said, still grinning
with satisfaction. I had made his night.

Immediately my face was purple. I abruptly turned to walk back to the car at a
very fast pace. “God, Chris, if you make me face that humiliation once more, I
swear I will never speak to you again.”

But my threats were always idle. We repeated that same scenario at least three
times that night, until finally | managed to convince a very drunk, very dumb
bouncer at a dive bar out in the Sticks that I was indeed nineteen (the Age at the
time). He had looked at me through his half-closed eyes, winked, and mumbled,
“Sure honey. Go on in,” and pinched my behind. At this point, I had no remaining
dignity.

Something drastic had to be done. I needed a good fake I.D., and I needed it
soon.

The next week I journeyed into New York City with my friend Beth. She was
just as anxious as | was to get a fake I.D. “I've got to drink a Jot if I want to be a
writer,” she often told me. “All the Greats were alcoholics.”

We found our way to the fake ID. district on 42nd Street, and chose an
establishment that looked like it prided itself on its high quality merchandise. I
rushed to the back of the store, my adrenaline flowing.

My eyes gleamed in disbelief at the wonderful assortment of fake college I.D.s
under the glass countertop. Visions of vodka sours passed before my eyes.

Nine dollars later, I sauntered out of that place believing that in my hot little
hand I held the passport to any bar or disco. And Beth believed she was well on her
way to following in the footsteps of the great authors of our time.

“Let's try them out,” she said the minute we were out the door. “Come on, let’s
find a bar.” So Beth and I spent the rest of the afternoon wandering the streets of
the city in search of the perfect bar to test out our LD.

This proved to be a very difficult task. If the bar was too Yuppy-ish, I felt under-
dressed and inadequate. If the place looked too sleazy, I refused to enter for fear of
my life. If it was too crowded, we'd stand out, If the bar was empty, obviously only
losers hung out there. When it came right down to it, I had apprehensions about
entering virtually any bar in the entire city.

At last, blistered, exhausted, and extremely thirsty, we stood in front of what, in
my book, should be called a saloon.

“T am not going in there, Beth. That is not a bar. That’s a saloon.”

“And what's the difference between the two, tell me please?’

“A bar is a mellow, relaxing place, characteristic of the twentieth century. A
saloon is what you see on Bonanza — you know, fights break out and stuff.”

“I don't care. They both serve alcohol.” She proceeded to push the swinging door
open and barge right in. Not knowing what else to do, I panicked for a moment,
then followed her.

The place was filled with middle-aged men. It was Happy Hour at the OK Cor-
ral. Beth was already up at the bar ready to order a drink, ready to flash that
Amherst College 1D. right in the bartender’s face, if she had to.

“Lordered a gin and tonic,” she told me. “I can’t remember what any of the great
writers drank.”

The bartender returned with her drink and brought her change. He looked at me
for a few seconds and then casually asked, “What's your poison, madame?”
({Madame? Was that supposed to be sarcastic?].

I stood there frozen, my palms sweating, my face expressionless with disbelief.
Was he going to ask me for proof? What if he knew it was a fake? My moment of

truth had arrived.

AG theme in the readings of Karl

Kraus’ play “The Last Days of
Mankind.” Performed on September 22 in
the Performing Arts Center Recital Hall by
the Elysium Theater Company, this satire
covered all aspects of Austrian society dur-
ing World War I.

Marc Simendinger

Karl Kraus was a master satirist, ac-
complished poet, and a legendary Vien-
nese critic. He is noted for his use of
language as a creative force and weapon to
target corrupt journalism, hypocrisy and
war. The readings by the Elysium Theater
were part of an International Karl Kraus
Symposium at the University on Sept. 22
and 23, marking the 50th anniversary of
Kraus’ death.

There were serious and satirically funny
selections read and both had grim under-
tones of protest for the war. In his work,
Kraus wants to show people how senseless
war is by pointing out its negative effects
on all of society. The settings consist of
streets, restaurants, train stations, army
posts, and the battlefield. Half the play is a
documentary -- that is, parts of the original
script are true facts.

The best parts of the performance were
the humorous pieces. In one reading two
men were talking about the corrupt French
government when they remarked, “That
couldn't happen here because luckily we
have no parliament.” Meanwhile the
Austrian government robbed its citizens of
their possessions for the war effort. Or as
an old man said, “We Austrians are holding
out well, we are enduring the war without
any hardships.” A man replied, “If there are
no hardships, what are we enduring?” The
old man says, “But we endure it so well.”
These somewhat important issues, and
others, are poked fun at with very serious
undertones, causing the audience to think
while chuckling at the jokes.

The more serious aspects of the perfor-
mance weren't quite as uplifting because
they dealt with Kraus’ more serious
material. This, however, did strengthen the
satiric, political theme of the performance.
In one scene a psychiatrist labels one man
“insane” for being a political dissident.
After rambling on about the man’s “men-
tal” problems and after the man speaks a
few protesting words he changes his
diagnosis to spy, treason, and working for
the allies - essentially spelling out the
man’s doom.On the battlefield officers
ordered the death of all the prisoners and
enemy wounded. And in the last scene, the
one anti-war character gives a soliloquoy
including these lines, “You will be forced
to go on dying for something you call
honor, but you don’t know what it is.
What is it you die for?”

...Jn his work, Kraus
wants to show people
how senseless war is by
Pointing out its negative
effects on all of

society. ..

Considering the whole performance was
read from the script, the acting was fairly
good. Few mistakes were made, and the
few that were, were ad-libbed well. The
mainly German-speaking audience was
very receptive of the theater group’s per-
formance, and everyone in the Recital Hall
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the perfor-
mance; surprisingly, myself included.

The Elysium Theater Company, manag-
“ed by Gale Green, is a professional acting
troupe -hailing from Munich and New

audience's yearning keeping Lucille, his
guitar, under his arm while he testifies,
shouting out the killing lines of “How Blue

children and now you want to give them
back,” then bringing the instrument out to
repeat his feelings non-verbally but just as
articulately.
His performance at the Palace Theater
last year, the same month as his sixtieth bir-

men and women alike shouting to him
from the balcony. “Talk to me Lucille.”
“Give it to me, B.B.”. “Hallellujah.” The

4a Aspects

September 26,

nce upon a time, when I was a wide-eyed
O freshman, I overheard part of a conversation
between two upper-classmen. They were
discussing the bars in the downtown area and the

first one said to the second, “What about Frank’s Liv-
ing Room?”

Laurence Quinn

And the second one said, “Frank’s%l!” That's where
the U.A.S cooks go after work! A place like that
must have diseases!”

1 asked myself, in my foolish innocence, “What
could be wrong with that? Cooks generally know
the cool places to eat and drink, right?”

The name sounded comfortable enough. I
thought it might be nice to meet “Frank,” and I was
curious about his living room. But I was a freshman
which meant I had no I.D. and no idea where Frank’s
was.

Back in those days there were some bars which
had a more lenient policy regarding the whole
‘proof of age” issue. | eventually went to Frank's one
night with my friend David who assured me that
Frank’s had such a policy. David was an exchange
student from Brixton, a section of London where
they take their drinking very seriously. If he learned
anything while studying in America he probably
learned it in a bar. He was sure | would not be hass|-
ed and I trusted his judgment.

The first thing I noticed about Frank’s was that it
was not a living room. It was a basement.
Throughout high school I did most of my imbibing
in basements and the two will always have anatural
association for me. In we went.

1 immediately noticed one important difference
between this and other bars I had tried and failed to
enter. There was no sadistic, fascist bouncer waiting
to frown at me as I walked in. So far, so good. There
was no floor at that time either but floors in bars are
universally filthy so, what the hell? What difference
if you wind up face down on hard packed dirt or
sticky linoleum?

David directed my attention from the floor to the
“walls. The graffiti was not confined to the bathroom
but it seemed to have spread outwards from excep-
tional quality and content of the graffiti is linked to

the fact that they have always frequented Frank's.

Don’t ask for the house wine

Whatever the reason, Frank’s grattiti has always
been above average. “Anarchy is never having to
say your sorry,” for example, is a line that I still
remember from that first visit.

During my Freshman year | returned to Frank's
regularly and I always tried to bring some skeptics
with me to show them that whatever Frank's lacked
in polish it made up for in personality.

My friend Pete liked the darts so much he bought
his own dartboard so he could play after closing
time. He was also impressed by the beer selection.
Pete tells this story often:

“Yd like to buy a pitcher of beer, please. What
kind of draft beer do you have?”

“Bud.”

“Okay! I guess I'll take a pitcher of Bud.”

I know a girl named Ms. Spencer who is partial to
the snakebites as served by Leo the friendly
bartender. Boy will she miss those snakebites.

There are other things about Frank’s that set it
apart from other student bars. The people who go to
Frank’s and the people who don’t go to Frank’s are
what I appreciate most. To quote one student, a fre-
quent patron: named, Spud, “Frank’s has always at
tracted the individual as opposed to those confor-
mists who flock like lemmings to the ocean of
W.T.s.” When asked where he will turn to find an
alternative to Frank’s Spud answered, “T'll probably
sit at home and drink beers by myself.”

Visually, the patrons of Frank’s are always a lot
more interestng than their Lamp Post counterparts.
U.A.S. cooks do not hang there. This is a myth
perpetuated by the same people who think Frank's is
a “punk bar” or a “biker bar.” People who fall into
either of those categories can be found at Frank’s but
they are well behaved and willing to mind their own
business. The music at Frank’s cannot be lumped
under a single heading “but because it has always
been loud and almost always obscure some have
simpley dismissed it as “punk.”

Frank’s is closing this month and I know I'll miss
it. Those who've never been there still have a few
days to check it out, and I doubt that there will be
any lines down the block this weekend. I know
another student who described Frank's as “dark,
smokey and frenetic.” She personifies the
misunderstanding that has always kept certain peo-
ple away from Frank's. She couldn't understand a
bar with no house wine, no diet soda, and no light
beer. east

C old Bud’s, loud music, interesting people,
talkative bartenders and cramped quarters.
Words that describe a bar called Frank's Liv-
ing Room. This was just not any bar, but one with a
character unique for Albany. An establishment that
served people who wanted something unlike the
fabricated scenery that plagues numerous clubs in
the area. Frank’s had no pretensions or atmosphere
in which the crowd was more important than the
drinking involved.

My encounter with this humble refuge came
about in my striving to become a member of
WCDB. The training process did not stop at the sta-
tion but extended itself to the real world, Frank's. I

anything I’ve seen.

The music was very loud; so loud that for a
minute I believed I was at an AC/DC concert. Leo,
the main bartender, was smiling and asked, “What's
your pleasure?” Dave proceeded to tell him that I
was a virgin. A virgin in the sense that this was my
first venture into The Living Room.

This was the start of a loving relationship. Frank’s

Frank's has been at its present location (at 176
Quail Street) since the late ‘60s. It is what is com-

best adjective presently in existence for the place
and for many other college hangouts, many people
are sorry to hear that Frank's is closing. I don’t count

Frank's is a bar that, for some of its inconveniences
was like a rumpled suit - comfortable. A note to all
who missed not only a 91 FM institution but also an
Albany one: Next time you enter a crowded bar
with a group of buddies, look around. Do you hear
great music, see helpful bartenders or, for that mat-
ter, know familiar faces? Well if you don’t, then you
missed out on one of the best bargains in Albany,
Frank's,

wrongly thrown dart, and yelling to each other over
who did that last song? But the most vivid escapade
is none of the above. Instead, it was when Dave and
I celebrated his birthday last November. We were
pounding down Bud’s when Andy came over to us
and said, “Closing in five minutes.” Dave and I look-
ed at each other — closing already? Both of us jogg-
ed outside to find the sun rising; it seemed that mor-
ning was awakening. This is how comfortable we
became at Frank's.

The closing of Frank's Living Room on September
30 will close a chapter in my life, a period that will
be hard to forget. I will probably not fully com-
prehend the significance of its passage until this

weekend when Dave and I say to each other, “Let's
go to Frank's.”

say the least, something far different.

A short chat with the bartender revealed that: a)
he had no idea who the “Frank” of Frank's Living
Room was, b) the real “Frank” hadn’t had anything
to do with the place in years, and c) the bartender
could sum up the main cause for Frank’s closure in
one word, “apathy.” Needless to say, I was not
surprised, .

Finding little reason to remain, we departed,
reassuring ourselves that we would laugh about this
someday. Dodging scattered raindrops, we heard
our names being called elusively. Turning, we saw
the sign beckoning from across the street.

Minutes later, we were laughing about it already
over pizza and soda. Looking up, at the back of the
sign painted on the storefront’s window, I wondered
aloud, “Who is this ‘Pop’ guy, anyway?” o

Sorry to inconvenience you, but Frank’s is

y story of Frank’s Living Room really begins
when I joined the staff of WCDB as an 18
year old freshman. Before the radio station
and my introduction to Frank's, school had been the
epitome of boredom: :

Dave Williams

While at WCDB I met John Demasi and his friend
Chris, both SUNYA students, and I was still a
rosebud and consequently quite shy. For the longest
time they kept asking me to go to Frank’s for a cou-
ple of drinks and | just kept turning them down.
One Friday night, however, I had to see what all the
talk was about, Being an Albany native, I realized
that I'd seen this bar before while driving past Quail
Street but never really thought much of it. In fact, |
thought it was some sleazy hole in the wall.

We drove up to Frank's and proceeded to walk in-
side. As soon as I opened the door to Frank's for the
very first time I heard the Dead Kennedys’ “Kill the
Poor” and I thought to myself, “I don’t believe this,
the DK’s in stereo in a bar in Albany, that just
doesn’t happen.” That was all | needed and I knew
that Frank's was the bar for me. I took a minute to
stare at the walls, the dart game, and the
memorabilia behind the bar. Just the mere fact that
Frank's is underground is also very appealing, as it
relected my personality.

Speaking of the music, not only was it great, but
it was very loud and you had to shout to the person
next to you just to talk to them — now that’s the

| way I like my music, We ordered a pitcher of Bud

and on the bar I saw something that almost made me

sick — a cockroach was walking right next to our
pitcher. Having been here before, John and Chris
nonchalantly put the pitcher on top of the cockroach
and said, “Dave, have a beer!”

Idid have a beer. As a matter of fact, I had plenty
of beer, read the graffiti around the bar, and went to
the bathroom, which is another topic in itelf — the
writings in the bathrooms are now legendary and
must be seen to be believed.

I was introduced to the bartender, Leo, who was
really nice and surprisingly talkative. I soon realized
he was an avid Mets fan and a staunch hater of wim-
py 60's music. I told my friends about Frank's and
we all agreed that this would now be our second
home — sometimes our first.

The great thing about Frank's is that there's no

dress code, no bullshit, no plastic people like those
up the street — just plenty of cheap beer, great
music, and fine company.

Frank's for me was not just a bar, but rather a way

of life. A bar that seemed to have a personality all its
own and a bar that somehow seemed to know how I
felt about life.

On the 30th of this month, an institution comes to
an end. A rather sad end. Frank's is closing its doors
for good. It’s like a death in the family, a death that ~
will always be remembered. | will miss the people,
the music, the talk, the bartenders, the darts, and all
those great times.

Lam now forced to find another bar, but nothing,
I mean nothing can compare to Frank’s Living
Room, the best bar in Albany.
We'll miss you.

Can Starman save T.V. Sci-Fi?

fascinating and imaginative genres

in our culture. It has limitless boun-
daries to take contemporary science and
blend it with fantastic, futuristic plot
devices to create a unique form of fiction
that captivates our imagination and ques-
tions our existence. Why, then, does such
an innovative art form flop time after time
on American television? ABC's new fall en-
try Starman, airing Fridays at 10 P.M.,
sheds a great deal of light on this quandary.
It is another intergalactic mess that will
most likely be added to the string of
science-fiction failures that preceded it.

Patrick Gillease

Starman lacks the intelligence, wit and
charm that was present in its theatrical
parent movie, Robert Hays is a poor
replacement for Jeff Bridges and is uncon-
vincing as the bemused alien who returns
to earth to raise the now-teenage son he
left behind. Karen Allen is also gone. At
some point during the last 14 years, her
character, Jenny Hayden, disappeared out
of her young son's life. The starman inex-
plicably senses his son’s loneliness and
returns to earth so the Star-duo can carry
on a weekly search for her while being
chased by government officials. The show
becomes a rip-off of the old Fugitive TV
series, only this time the expatriates are
aliens. The rest of the cast, including C.B.
Barnes as Scott Hayden the Starchild, per-
forms adequately, but all end up looking
ridiculous because of insulting dialogue, in-
consistent story development and terribly
weak direction.

The attempts at dialectic humor which
were executed so successfully in the
original, fall flat in the series. The viewer is
left feeling embarrassed by the efforts. In

S cience-fiction is one of the most

the body of the late photographer Paul For-
rester, a stunned hotel clerk tells our alien
that “some bimbo” is up in his room clear-
ing out his belongings. “Paul” returns to his
room to find his girlfriend, Elizabeth,
(Mimi Kuzak) and asks her if she is the bim-
bo. The only saving grace in this whole
tasteless scene comes when Liz gives “Paul”
a good punch in the face.

Starman continues the network practice
of placing ordinary Hollywood script
writers at the helm of such programs, stick-
ing in a few special effects, and passing it
off as sci-fi. The public is aware of such ob-
vious exploitation and subsequently tunes
out. Writers penning scripts for shows the
likes of the A-Team cannot be assigned to
write science-fiction episodes and expect to
pull it off. This was the case with the last
network foray into the genre two years
ago with V. As two highly successful mini-
series about reptilian visitors disguised as
humans that come to earth and slowly gain
control of the planet, NBC assumed an ins-
tant hit when V went weekly. It failed
because the show’s creator, Ken Johnson,
was removed from the project because he
was “too creative.” The new producers
hired stock script writers who destroyed
the program’s allegorical focus on World
War II Nazi Germany and its roots to in-
sightful science-fiction.

In 1978, the networks pulled their big-
gest misuse of the form by presenting Bat
Hestar Galactica to capitalize on the Star
Wars phenomenon. ABC spent millions of

|, dollars, from which it has not yet fully

recovered, and ended up with a visually
spectacular program with hardly any
substance. It was simply another typical
TV action-adventure, only now the heroes
were equipped with space ships and lasers
instead of fast cars and machine guns.

Another key problem facing the net-
works is time-slots. Friday is the least-
watched night for television, yet practical-
ly every sci-fi program is placed here. The
fans of the form are apparently off on
another planet on this night, because pro-
grams that include The Twilight Zone, V
and Star Trek have all resided here with no

paramount concern. Fearing that the
theatrical movies would be hurt by an
ongoing series with the same characters,
the production company halted plans for
the new Trek’s premiere on FBC in March.
In. response, the network proposed a spin-
off series with new characters on a sister
starship to the Enterprise. Kirstie Alley has

success, Even if Starman was reasonably
good, it would struggle for this reason
alone. Buck Rogers, although it was similar
to the rest of the fare, survived on NBC
several years ago most likely due to the
fact that it was televised on a Tuesday.

If the networks are willing to spend ex-
horbitant amounts of money on science-
fiction programs, they must hire experienc-
ed sci-fi writers and then be willing to give
the program a weeknight time slot. We
must go back to the tried and true; Para-
mount should stop mulling over the pro-
posed new Star Trek series and make it a
reality. It failed in the ‘60s because it was
ahead of its time and had lousy scheduling.

Fox Broadcasting Company, the coun-
try’s up-and-coming fourth network, has

already expressed an interest to return to
the Saavik role she so wonderfully created
in the film Star Trek IH: The Wrath of
Khan. With her occupying the Spock role,
perhaps another relative of Kirk as the new
captain, a fresh, young cast to fill the other
positions and guest-starring roles by. the
original characters, the series could
flourish. That is, of course, assuming the
obstacles just mentioned in regard to good
sci-fi are overcome.

Until this time, if it ever comes to frui-
tion, the average sci-fi fan will have to wait
patiently and hope that the network brass
will finally learn its lessons. For unless Star-
man gets a new air night and some much-
needed rescussitation in the artistic and sen-
sibility departments, it, and future pro-
grams like it, will continue to tumble into

God as a kid tries to make a chicken in his room.

“Well, wouldn't you know it — we've come

someone's strung chicken wire around it.”

Tyranny on the quads

To the Editor:

What has happened to the quality of life on this cam-
pus? Does SUNY Albany really think it is immune to the
Constitution of the United States? It seems to think so.

We, as residents on this campus should be aware of the
tyranny that is going on in Residential Life. Do they have
the right to railroad students out of their dorm rooms into
the streets? I seems to be going on right here. As soon as
we decide to live on campus, our rights disappear. We are
subject to referrals whenever an RA pleases and worse yet
subject to criminal charges in some cases.

‘We cannot even argue for ourselves. What happened to
guilty until proven innocent and trial by a jury of our
peers? Residential Life thinks the residents are to blame
and their staff is above it. I thought we were all created
equal. Can they really be allowed to belittle us and call us
names? I hope not.

It seems to be a witch hunt on this campus. Let’s get rid
of all the ‘‘bad’’ upperclassmen so we can bring in more
“good”? underclassmen. Well, no one is perfect in this
world. Some of those people that Residential Life are
shoving off campus are those who want to achieve
something. Some that are allowed to live here just want to
cheat and step on people to get to the top. Does this
school really want to be known for this? I know when I
came here, I came for a good education that I’ll be proud
of, but if my rights keep getting taken away by Residen-
tial Life, I think I’ll want it from some place else.

Puzzled by Pogue

To the Editor:

I want to express SA’s appreciation to the ASP for the
prominent coverage given to the story about the SA Legal
Services Office.

I must admit to being puzzled by certain statements at-
tributed to VP for Student Affairs Frank Pogue. In the
article, Dr. Pogue indicates that it would be okay for the

Legal Services Office to handle minor criminal offenses:
and landlord — tenant disputes. This statement by Dr.
Pogue must have left some ASP readers wondering what
the dispute is all about. If Dr. Pogue’s statements were an
accurate reflection of the University’s position, there
would be no need for President O’Leary to establish the
Campus Review Board as there would indeed be no
dispute to review. In fact, the University’s consistent
position has been that they do not think it is proper for
the Legal Services Office to go to court at all, even in
criminal offenses and landlord — tenant disputes. There
is no way to ‘‘handle’’ minor offenses and landlord — te-
nant disputes without going to court.

SA’s position is, first, that decisions regarding the use
of student money should be made by students, not ad-
ministrators, and second, that SA’s Legal Services pro-
gram as it is currently structured is an appropriate and
valuable use of student money.

He’s no freak

To the Editor:

Ric Stark is not a freak.

In the Sept. 23rd issue of the ASP, Ric seemed to
believe that he was a freak because his peers had labelled
him that for not drinking. This letter is to Ric and others
(I know there are some) who think as he does.

You’ve got to be kidding me!!

This is my 3rd year at this institution of learning and
fun we call college. In that time my friends and I have had
probably the best times of our lives here. We’ve been in-
volved with many different campus activities and groups
without alcohol. There are tons of people here who would
not care whether or not you drink to get plastered on Fri-
day or Saturday night.

R.A.s, S.A.s, directors, ethnic groups, concert
Board, Telethon, SAMS, Quad Boards and so many
countless people help make this school a fantastic place.
Get involved with a group that will make your life richer
for having been a part of it!

There are so many activities here every weekend, sec-
tion parties, movies, sports, concerts, dances, fund
raisers, or just gatherings of friends. No one should have
to drink at them to be accepted. If you feel that you do,
you definitely have the wrong friends (if they deserve that
title)! Those people who deny getting to know a great per-
son because he or she stands for something different are
the real losers. Stand by your beliefs! Someday those peo-
ple may wake up on a Saturday afternoon at 2:30, feeling
like their head was run over by a truck, and realize that
maybe, just maybe, they could have woken up at 10:00
a.m. and had a great day.

I can’t say that I don’t drink on occasion, because I do,
a beer, or a bottle of wine with a pizza and some good
friends. A few times though, I have watched and learned,
which is what most of us are here for.

Stand by your beliefs Ric. Next time another freshman
or even an upperclassman puts you down, you may feel
free to laugh at them inside because you and everyone else
who believes in themselves are already so far above their
level it’s funny. So have a great year, don’t waist it.

Parking priorities

To the Editor:

There are a million things to complain about on this
campus if one takes the time to write them all down on a
piece of paper. Some problems are just inherent in the
system, and we, as SUNYA students must learn to
tolerate that which cannot be changed.We should not,
however, forever be forced to accept the stupidity and ob-
vious lack of effort and conéern on the part of the Public
Safety Department in dealing with the parking situation
on campus. Something is definitely wrong when I must
park my car in the Dutch Quad Parking Lot when I live
on Colonial. What really prompted me to write this letter
though, was the number of empty spaces available when I
parked my car at 8:30 a.m. on a Tuesday morning.

Obviously, the cry for more parking spaces on campus
has fallen on deaf ears, but what I can’t understand is
why Public Safety doesn’t alleviate the current situation
with its available resources. The problem as I see it isn’t a
lack of parking spaces, I saw plenty of those on Dutch.
The problem is that almost every commuter feels the need
to cram into the Colonial lot instead of driving over to a
parking lot designed to hold more cars.

Why doesn’t the Public Safety department give first
priority to residents of each quad over commuters who
drive to school? Commuters shouldn’t be forcing
residents out of parking spaces when there is plenty of
room in the Dutch and State Quad lots. All that would be
required is an extra identifying mark on each parking
sticker differentiating between Quad residents and com-
muters. That way residents will be assured of a space in
their corresponding lot. Is there a difficulty in assigning
commuters a designated lot to park in when they register

(618) 442-5665/5660/5662

their car? With this method all parking spaces will be ful-

ly utilized and all residents will be guaranteed parking. If
Public Safety runs out of spaces in each lot to assign to
commuters, that should be a good hint that this campus
needs to increase the amount of parking spaces on
campus.

I don’t think any resident shoud be forced out of park-
ing on their own quad by commuters who have the ability
to park in lots where available parking isn’t a problem.

Talent is not enough

To the Editor:

In response to last Friday’s letter ‘Injustice Exposed’,
I would like to express my apologies to photographers
who were not hired to the Photo Service staff. Unfor-
tunately Photo Service has limited space and resources
and 1 was not able to hire all thirty-five applicants.

Juniors and seniors were at a disadvantage to
sophomores and freshman photographers who seemed to
possess equal photographic skills and motivation. The
reason for this is the need to build our organization. Ex-
isting members will be graduating and it is necessary to
train younger students who will be the roots of Photo
Service. :

I am extremely happy with our current staff of
photographers and I urge students to get involved in
organizations early so they can dedicate their time and
energy into the growth of an organization. .

Real friends matter

To the Editor:

I'd like to address my letter to Ric Stark, whose own
letter appeared in the Tuesday, September 23 issue.

I think it was wonderfully honest of you to voice your
feelings. I went through a similar experience during my
freshman year, though few of my friends from this year
would believe it.

Last year I was struck by a tremendous sense of isola-
tion, greatly stemming from my dislike of beer. It had
never been a big deal before, but now it was. There was
little fun to be found at a party where everyone else
thought that what they’d just done, in their drunken
state, was the most hilarious thing that had ever
happened.

I got through the year, though not happily. As a
sophomore, I returned this fall with much the same
outlook. I’ve now got a new group of friends, I felt the
same pressures again this year, though to a far lesser
degree. I allowéd it to get me and was out of control fora
while.

However, I’ve decided sometl ing; and your letter
helped me to-make this decision. This year, I’m with a
group of real friends. We don’t just hang out when we go
drinking or have a party. These are people whose com-
pany I enjoy. So, from now on, if I don’t really feel like
having anything to drink, I won’t.

Don’t submit to the pressure — believe me; I know it’s
there, but it’s not worth it. And, if you’re with the right
people, you won’t need to.

— April S. Anastasi

Mixed Signals

To the Editor:

In light of the University’s current policy on alcohol con-
sumption on campus, the 21 year old drinking age and the
carnage on the highways due to drunk driving, I find it
appalling that a beer poster was inserted in a recent issue
of the ASP. It seems rather ironic that on page 3 of that
issue there is an article about the University’s new policy
regarding “‘dry”’ events (i.e., football games) and in the
same issue is an insert whereby you can order a ‘Beer
Guitar”’ poster, a ‘‘Bar Lines’’ poster, a ‘‘Party Head-
quarters’’ poster depicting a refrigerator full of beer and
then there is ‘‘Tall, Dark and Beautiful’, ‘‘Tall Blonde’”’
and “Miller Made the American Way”’ showing bov Uot-
tle of beer meeting gil bottle of beer and maxing baby
bottle of beer.

And, in order to receive your ‘“‘FREE”’ poster all you
need do is purchase, and I assume consume, 24 bottles of
‘beer. But even if you don’t order one of these offensive
posters, you still get to keep the Miller High Life 1986-87
Party Headquarters Calendar whereby you can keep
track of all the beer blasts going on on campus.

I would think that the ASP, which plays a part in pro-
moting responsible behavior on the part of the University
community when it comes to alcohol consumption, would
also find this poster appalling and consider it counter-
productive to those efforts. ,

Ed. Dept. is prying into texts, senators charge

Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Senators from both parties con-
tend certain Education Depart-
ment officials are trying to in-
fluence what the nation’s students
are taught in the classroom.

In a heated hearing recently,
senators Lowell Weicker (R-
Conn.) and Tom Harkin (D-
Towa) complained the adminstra-
tion was wasting money on
studies purporting to prove some
textbooks have a leftist bias.

The department, Weicker
maintained in castigating Educa-
tion Secretary William Bennett
and Undersecretary Gary L.
Bauer, has plenty to do without

“going around prying [into] what
textbooks are being used or not
used. It’s not the role of the
federal government.”’

“Education officials are not
supposed to supervise or direct
the content of textbooks,”’ said a
Weicker aide who asked that her
name not be used.

But Bauer said some textbooks
are biased, and that the depart-
ment’s duty is to alert people to
the problem.

“In my speeches, I have
covered how books covered the
Soviet Union and totalitarianism
and the United States and our
free institutions,’’ Bauer said.

Some books, he said, barely

distinguish between the rights of
Soviet and U.S. citizens.

“Speaking about the Soviet
population having the right to
vote is comparable to saying
blacks in South Africa have a
right to vote,”” Bauer said.

“Tf I had said something about
oppression in South Africa, I
would have been applauded,’’ he
said.

Weicker’s aide maintained the
senators aren’t objecting to
Bauer’s views of the textbooks,
but to the department’s bothering
to deal with book content at all.

The department okayed fun-
ding of a study of how U.S.
history books portray the role of
religion in American history. In
the study, New York University
professor Paul Vitz found the
texts barely touched on religion’s
role.

From ‘“‘their coverage of
religion,’’ Vitz said, “‘you would
think it did not exist, and this is
the most religious country in the
modern world.””

At the hearing, the senators
learned the department has given
Vitz another grant, this time to
study the “‘psychology of moral
education.”

The department also is suppor-
ting another group that monitors

freshman, James Lamb, has
registered about 75 students so
far.

“We will be setting up a booth
in the Campus Center and in the
State Quad cafeteria during lunch
as a trial next week,”’ said Lamb.
“If it goes well, we will table on
the other quads, too,”’ he said.

“Our goal is to get [Governor
Mario] Cuomo recognized on
campus,”’ Lamb said. ‘‘We want
to keep the family of New York
going,” he said, refering to

textbook content and a research
project into how teachers present
the subject of nuclear war in the
classroom.

Two years ago, the administra-
tion was extremely critical of a
“nuclear issues”’ packet sent to
classrooms by the National
Education Association, the
largest teachers’ union in the U.S.

And last week, Education
Dept. official Tom Tancredo
blasted supposed leftist bias in a
University of Denver teacher
training program.

In February, another depart-
ment official proposed reviewing
the content of all research it spon-
sors before allowing it to be
published with government
funds.

While Weicker’s office main-
tained the department can get in-
to text-content issues only when
specific laws require it to, Bauer
said he thinks the senators are
angered mostly because they
disagree with the department’s
concern with religion and
morality.

“T have to think what is bother-
ing [Weicker] is [the] purpose [for
which] the textbooks are being
reviewed,”’ Bauer said. Weicker,
he said, ‘‘has been an aggressive
opponent of issues dealing with

Cuomo’s campaign slogan.

“T think [students] are going to
vote for Cuomo. Most people
don’t know who O’Rourke is,””
Lamb said.

Lamb’s organization is also try-
ing to bring Cuomo to speak on
campus after the election. ‘If we
bring in more than half of the
campus vote we have a good
chance,’? Lamb said.

SUNYA College Republicans
President Steven Korowitz said
one of the major pre-election
goals of his group will be to table

prayer in schools.”

Bauer said the department has
done many studies of how tex-
tbooks portray the roles of
women and minorities in U.S.
history, and has never gotten an
objection from politicians.

Weicker’s office, however,
Pointed out that specific laws
mandate the studies of women
and minorities.

Professional historians readily
concede bias is written into all
histories and studies.

“Any writing is based on a cer-
tain premise,’ said American
Historical Association’s Ex-
ecutive Director Jamil Zainaldin.

“There is a selection process”
in deciding what to write, where
to research, when to reach con-
clusions, and even how to struc-
ture sentences, he said. ‘‘That is
itself a decision reflecting a per-
son’s bias.”’

“I think the way the system

works now, where publishers
compete, should remain,’
Zainaldin said.

criticism from the Department of
Education is it is becoming a

Judge orders deportation of

leftist professor from U.S.

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — An immigra-
tion judge has ordered University of New
Mexico professor Margaret Randall to
leave the US by December 1, 1986,
because, Randall’s lawyers say, she is a
leftist.

Officially, the court ruled Randall is a
Mexican citizen being deported for
violating a US law prohibiting certain lef-
tist foreigners from living here.

Her lawyers, who are appealing the deci-
sion, say Randall will stay in this country
while her case winds its way through
higher courts.

Randall, 50, born a United States
citizen, has been under fire from the US
Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS) since she returned to the US as a
“permanent resident alien’? in 1984, 23
years after she moved to Latin America to
live with her then-husband and renounced
her citizenship.

The writer, editor, historian and poet’s
only crime, her lawyers say, ‘‘was to write
positively about world communism.”

“The immigration judge went to great
lengths to say the only reason Margaret
couldn’t stay was because of her
writings,’’ David Cole, Randall’s attorney,
claims. i

“We will contend fin the appeals pro-
cess] that for the government to take an
alien living in this country [and] say,
“We're going to deport you because we
think you advocate world communism,’ is
a violation of the First Amendment right
to free speech,”’ Cole said.

Cole estimates the appeals process could
take two. to four years..In the meantime,
Congress may intervene to keep Randall in
the country.

Two separate bills—one in the House
and one in the Senate—seek to change the
1952 McCarran-Walter Immigration Act,

which the administration is using to try to
deport Randall.

The McCarran-Walter Act lets the
government exclude foreigners who have
been affiliated with communist or' anar-
chist groups.

The INS, which did not respond to re-
quests for information about the case,
charges Randall is a communist who, while
living in Latin America, harshly criticized
US foreign policy as imperialist.

“No, Margaret Randall is not a com-
munist,”’ said Michael Maggio, an at-
torney for the Center for Constitutional
Rights who is working with Cole on the
appeal.

Instead, ‘‘she’s the American Solzhenit-
syn,”’ he said, referring to the Nobel Prize-
winning Russian novelist whose writings
angered Soviet leaders, who eventually
deported him.

“If Margaret’s case had happened in the
Soviet Union, we would have called it a
shocking scandal, a moral outrage and an
international issue of human rights,’’ he
said.

“By giving up her American citizenship
in 1967, she subjected herself to the laws of
a noncitizen,’’ said Rep. Barney Frank, D-
Mass., sponsor of the proposed House
amendment to the McCarran act. +

“My bill would make her political
beliefs irrelevant,’’ he said. ‘I don’t
believe this country should exclude people
because of their beliefs unless those beliefs
cause one to behave in damaging ways,”

Frank expects his bill to reach the House
floor next year about “‘right in the middle
of the appeal,’’ Cole estimates. Randall
will be judged by whatever law is on the
books at the time.

“‘When that bill passes, Margaret will
definitely be allowed to stay,’’ Cole said.

Colleges receive record $6 billion in donations

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Gifts to the
nation’s colleges and universities reached a
record $6.32 billion last year, footing
about $516 of the average student’s educa-
tion costs, the Council for Financial Aid to
Education reported.

And the business community, for the
first time, became the largest donor. As a
group, corporations gave $1.57 billion,
which was 23.8 percent more than the
previous year.

Many hope the increase signals a trend
in private support that could allay the
damage done to college programs by re-
cent federal and state budget cuts.

“Business is responding [to government
cuts] by taking a larger role,’’ said council
president John Haire in the report.

In all, private donations covered about
6.6 percent of the $7,801 schools spent on
the average student in 1984-85. Private
generosity hasn’t been that high since
1950, when gifts comprised 9.6 percent of
college costs.

Donations rose at a faster rate — 12.9
percent — than the Higher Education
Price Index, which measures the cost of
goods and services purchased by colleges
and universities.

The Higher Ed Price Index went up by
6.7 percent last year. But not all campus
programs benefit from corporate support.

Faculty at Indiana University, for in-
‘stance, are concerned that a dispropor-
tionate amount of its founaauion’s moucy
is specified for athletics and programs
linked to specific business interests.

IU’s proposed clinical science building,
for instance, already has accumulated $7.5
million in pledges, while other priority
projects such as a theater building, and a
culture center have yet to win significant
funding.

Indeed, businesses donate mostly to
meet their own’ needs for graduate-level
engineers and business majors.

In all, private donations covered
about 6.6 percent of the $7,801
schools spent on the average student

in 1984-85. Privat
been that high

e generosity hasn’t
since 1950...

International Business Machines, one of
the largest corporate donors, gave $55
million in 1985 to business, engineering,
and physical science programs.

And the American Electronics Associa~
tion reported record support of its educa-
tion fund last year, despite the industry’s
recent downturn.

The foundation pumped more than $2.7
million into graduate programs to retain
faculty and graduate students who other-
wise might leave school for high-paying
jobs in the industry, said Jeff Parietti of
the Electronics Education Foundation.

“We realized we couldn’t keep taking
[bachelor level students] without putting
something back into the [education]
system without our quality eventually suf-
fering,” Parietti said.

Gifts of company products also have
taken on new importance, accounting for
15.1 percent of donations, the council
reported.

Computer companies, in particular,
view product gifts as investments. They
often provide computers to college student
expecting these students to continue to buy
them in business and private life.

On the other hand, University of Texas
alumnus Robert Dedman recently donated
$10 million for undergraduate liberal arts
scholarships, describing it as a ‘‘pump
primer’’ to encourage others to support
the liberal arts with no strings attached.

Alumni such as Dedman were colleges’

$1.3 billion in 1983-84. Non-alumni in-
dividuals contributed $1.42 billion, up
from $1.2 billion.

And non-corporate foundations gave

$1,175 million, compared to $1,271
million the year previous. Unlike in prior
years, foundations’ stock portfolios ac-
counted for little of the increase, council
spokeswoman Joan Lundberg. Founda-
tion contributions roughly equalled what
they, in turn, had received from outside
sources last year, she said.

Though the Council on Financial Aid to
Education didn’t track what type of pro-
grams received support, it did list which
schools reported the largest donations.

Reagan urged to cut off federal
aid for below-average students

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Fewer students should
be able to get federal student aid in the future, says
a report by the conservative Washington think tank
that has supplied the Reagan administration with
most of its college policy ideas.

Aid policies now waste U.S. tax dollars by
“throwing good money after bad students,’’ the
Heritager Foundation’s latest policy report claims.

The report, which also suggests taking aid away
from students earning less than a C average, ad-
vocates a major revamping of the Higher Education
Act now before Congress.

The last time the Heritage Foundation issued a
new blueprint for higher education in 1980, the ad-
ministration adopted most of its suggestions in bills
it proposed to Congress in 1981 and 1982.

The latest report, ‘‘A Seven-Point Strategy for
Federal Aid to Higher Education,” was written by
Eileen Gardner, a foundation fellow who holds a
doctorate in Moral Education and Human
Development from Harvard.

Gardner argues the Higher Education Act — the
bill now in Congress that literally will define the
federal government’s role in financing colleges and
their students during the next five years — needs
“substantive changes.”’

Gardner concedes her proposals for the act are
even more radical than the administration’s, which
she said shy away from ‘‘tampering”’ with ideals
about providing ‘‘education for all.”’

Gardner proposes that students needing remedial
classes or earning less than a C average in college be
cut off from federal aid.

“College is not for everyone,” she said. “It
doesn’t mean you’re a bad person (if you get bad
grades). You just need to go somewhere else.”

“I would love to find a good mechanic,’’ she ad-
ded as a suggestion.

Albany, N.Y.
(AP) Patricia Graham, dean of Harvard Univer-
sity’s Graduate School of Education, has been
chosen to head a 12-member committee to help
find a new education commissioner for New
York State.

New York Board of Regents Chancellor Mar-
tin Barell, in announcing Graham’s appointment
Wednesday, said he wanted a list from the com-
mittee of ‘‘best qualified’ applicants by Jan. 15
and that he hoped that Regents could make their
selection of a new commissioner in March.

Graham and two other members of the
12-member committee are from Harvard’s
Graduate School of Education.

Education Commissioner Gordon Ambach has
said he will resign from the $89,250-a-year post
by June 30.

Barell and other regents have denied reports
that they forced Ambach’s resignation because
of continuing disputes between Ambach and
Gov. Mario Cuomo.

The Governor and the Regents are to meet Fri-
day morning to discuss education issues.

Joining Graham on the advisory committee
are:

By giving federal aid only to ‘‘quality’’ needy
students, the government will remove the “perverse
incentives’? that have encouraged universities to
replace core curricula with sub-college-level course,
she said.

“Colleges are competing for the federal dollars
linked to remedial students,’’ she said. ‘‘Easy
money encourages colleges to increase cost and to
cut quality.”

At least one other Washington scholar disagrees.

“It’s no big trick to take a National Merit scholar
and graduate him. Our universities’ challenge is
with the inner-city kids,’’ said Bob Aarons of the
National Association of State Universities and
Land Grant colleges and a lecturer at Georgetown
University.

“If K [kindergarten] through 12 hasn’t done the
job, and if we can salvage that individual at the col-
lege level, that student deserves to be saved.’”

Gardner, however, maintains that the low-
quality student is a costly investment with little pro-
spect of repaying society.

“The academically poor student won’t get that
much better [in college],’’ she said. ‘He'll just
undercut the quality of everyone else’s education.”’

The essence of the issue seems to be whether
universal access to education is a right or even im-
portant, Gardner concludes.

“Over 50 percent of high school graduates go to
college,”’ Gardner said critically, asserting that’s
more than the nation needs.

Education Secretary William Bennett has yet to
reply to her study, and it may be too late for Gard-
ner’s ideas to be incorporated into this year’s
Higher Education Reauthorization Act, she said.

“But I hope it will encourage some provocative
discussion in the future,”’ she said.

Yankees blow possibility of 86 subway series

ASP staff writer Paul Lander wrote a col-
um last April on the possibility of a sub-
way series in October. This is a follow-up
to that column.
By Paul A. Lander

Have the Yankees and the Mets lived up
to expectations?

For starters, the Mets are in the

playoffs. As a matter of %
Friday

fact, they’ve been in the
playoffs since the start

of the season. Mean- Sports
while, in the Bronx, the

Yankees are on the verge Column

of elimination.

Where the Mets excelled, the Yankees
stunk. You can’t win if you don’t have
starting pitching. For most of the season,
the Yanks had, with one exception, not
average pitching, not even below average
pitch. They had no pitching. Dennis
Rasmussen emerged as the ace of the
Yankee staff. He consistently got wins
when the Yankees needed them. The rest
of the starters were used as batting practice
pitchers by the opposing teams:

What kept the Yankees close was the
relief pitching of Dave Righetti. Sure he
blew a lot of games early in the season. But
after throwing the ball over the rightfield
wall in Toronto, he’s been the best stopper
in the major league.

On the other hand, the Mets have four
starters who will surpass 15 wins. Bob
Ojeda has been the biggest surprise. After
he won a couple of games out of the
bullpen, he was placed in the starting rota-
tion where he became their most reliable
pitcher. Ron Darling, who has given his all
during the entire season, has pitched hard-
luck baseball. He may lead the league in no.
decisions. The Mets have also gotten a top
performance from Sid Fernandez.

For a while, a frequently asked question

is “‘what’s the matter with the Doc?’
There was nothing wrong with him. It was
just that the opposing teams got fired up
when they faced him. Dwight Gooden has
pitched fine this year. Any Yankee starter
would want his numbers for the season.

The Mets have a top reliever of their
own. Roger McDowell has become the
Mets’ stopper. He’s closed many doors
when the Mets needed him to.

What the Yankees lack in pitching, they
make up for with their hitting. Led by Don
Mattingly, the Yankees are near the top of
the list in several offensive categories.
Although he isn’t having as great a season
as last year, Mattingly has been carrying a
good deal of the load. He’s pushing
Boston’s Wade Boggs for the batting title,
he leads the majors in total hits, and he’s
in the top ten in both homers and RBI’s.
Maittingly’s also on the verge of collecting
his second consecutive gold glove at first
base. He’s still to be considered for MVP.

The problem for the Yankees though is
Dave Winfield. Although his numbers
look good, he’s really done nothing for the
Yankees, at the plate that is. He is still the
premier rightfielder in the American
League. Mike Easler started the season
with a bang. However, he ran out of gas as
August and then September set in. Mike
Pagliarulo was on a homerun tear up until
August. Even though his bat got tired, his
fielding has remained very consistent.

Rickey Henderson hits too many
homeruns. He is a leadoff man. He is sup-
posed to get on base, not try for the fence.
When he gets on base he usually scores
runs. Also, how many meaningless bases
has he stolen so far? The Mets haven’t
been hitting too shabby either. Keith Her-
nandez, the other gold glove firstbaseman
in New York, has slowly moved up with
the leaders in hitting. Some feel he should

be a top candidate for Most Valuable
Player. His timely hitting and solid defense
has made him the team leader on the field.
Inspirational leadership has come from
catcher Gary Carter. He was on a tear for
most of the summer, until he got hurt in
early August. There is a problem, though:
he doesn’t seem to be able to throw run-
ners out. Is this his fault or the pitchers?

I had high expectations for Darryl
Strawberry. I thought 40 long balls and
100 RBI’s would be easy for him to
achieve. His problem has been against lef-
thanders and the slow breaking balls
they’ve been serving him. As a result, he’s
had too many strikeouts. The surprise for
the Mets has been Kevin Mitchell. Seen as
a long shot to make the team at thirdbase,
he became a jack-of-many positions.
Because of this, and the solid bat he car-

roll. He became the all-time leader in
Great Dane history for average yards per
carry with 7.77.

Fullback freshman Pete Pedro also is a
ikey rusher for the Danes. In his college
debut against Ithaca, Pedro from Lynn,
Mass. gained 95 yards on 14 carries in-
cluding a 14-yard touchdown, Albany’s
only score of the day.

With quarterback Jeff Russell, the
Danes will continue with a running attack
as they successfully did against RPI.

“There’s a saying in football, you
should not ask athletes to do something
they cannot do,” said Ford. ‘‘Jeff’s
outstanding strength is his ability to run
the offense and run the football. Ideally in
our program we’d like to run 75 percent
and pass 25 percent. Now it looks like 95
percent of the time we’ll run and throw the
other 5 percent.’”

ries, he has a good shot at rookie of the
year in the National League.

Meanwhile, the Yankees have Dan Pas-
qua, a player who wasn’t on the opening
day roster. Since being called up from the
minors in early August, Pasqua has per-
formed very well, as a full-time leftfielder.
Though he’s noted for his homerun power,
his average is right around .300.

So, it doesn’t look like we'll see if Carter
can throw out Henderson. Mattingly will
have to wait for his shot at hitting against
Gooden. We won’t be able to see if Her-
nandez can perform late running heroics
against Righetti. For Met fans, the season
will only get better. For Yankee fans, it’s
wait until next year, again.

Paul A. Lander is a staff writer for the
Albany Student Press.

Ford added, “‘Last Saturday the offense
performed, running the football, pretty
darn efficiently. The backs ran very hard
and the offensive line was awesome.
Defensively we’re not quite where we want
to be. We are not playing the 4-4 defense
real well.””

Brockport has to stop the Danes. One
way could be in linebacker Blase
Salomore, with 32 tackles in his three
games. Also safety Chris Payne, a junior,
and senior Mike Jones, defensive tackle
are key to the Eagles defense.

“Our whole defense has been playing
well,’’ said Matejkovic, ‘‘despite the Mer-
cyhurst game they’ve been playing real
well,””

He concluded, ‘‘Albany’s good because
they can hurt you a lot of ways. They run
the football so well. Their strength is their
quickness on offensive and defense. We
have to stop their running game.” 1

Top tennis teams to play in ECACs at Albany

By Al Baker
STAFF WRITER

The rackets will be strung extra tight,
the shoe laces tied firmly, and the deter-
mination will be fervent for the Albany
State men’s tennis team this weekend as
they take on the competition at their home
courts in the 1986 ECAC Division II and
III Tennis Tournament.

The Danes with a hearty appetite for vic-
tory over the years have yet to satisfy their
hunger with an ECAC Championship.
Previously held at Ryder College, until the
Tournament was split in two five years ago
with Albany taking on the Northern teams
and Ryder hosting the Southern region
teams, the ECACs have eluded the Danes
over and over.

Determination -to win seems more
prevalent in the eyes of the players this
year, who saw a glimpse of victory before
it narrowly escaped them last year when
they finished third with 15 overall points
behind a strong Millersville squad and a se-
cond place Vermont team.

Head Coach Bob Lewis said, ‘We never

won it, ...our best finish ever was in 1978
when we came in second.”

Reduced from last year’s 27 team
tourney, this season’s 25 competing teams
have changed somewhat. The strong com-
petition of N.Y. Institute of Technology
featuring first singles player Tony Sirotka
and number two Eddi McCann has been
added. St. Johns is highlighted by the
number one and two singles play of Mike
Vorstman and Roderigo du Nobrega.
Other new teams this year will be Don
Long’s Wesleyan squad, Brockport, Bates
College and the team from St. John Fisher
College.

Coach Lewis said, “I think overall com-
petition will be very simlilar, but also more ~
difficult.The teams from Rochester and
Buffalo have improved, and even more im-
portant, the addition of St. Johns and a
strong N.Y. Tech team will add difficulty
to the tournament.”

Millersville, last year’s champs, are out
and that’s a relief to the Dane netmen.
Other teams who have been dropped in-

clude Central Conneticut, Fitchburg Col-
lege, Framingham, Millersville, Nazareth,
North Adams, Quinnipiae, Salem- and
local Siena.

All year long Albany has been playing
strong and pulling out close matches with
the clutch play of the bottom of their
singles line-up. In the ECACs however, the
format will dictate that teams only enter
their top two singles players.

“Some years that has favored us and
some years it hasn’t,’’ said Lewis, who ad-
ded, ‘‘This year I think that although we
have good players at the one and two
spots, we really need great players to do
really well. We’re just hoping to be com-
petitive in this year’s tourney though.’”

In tough, gritty play the number one
seeded player from Buffalo, Ken White,
won in the first singles match. He’ll be
back to defend that title this year, but
much of the competition has changed. In
season play this year, White has lost to
Rochester’s Joachim Hammer. The two
will meet again this weekend.

In number one doubles play the Danes’
Marc Singer and Tom Roe will have to
play with all they’ve got. Buffalo’s Jerry
Moote and Ed Wagner, as well as the N.Y.
Tech duo of James and Chris O’Sullivan,
Vermont’s young Peter Sikowitz and Mike
Connors and Rochester’s Eric Clipton and
Scott Milener will be the competition.

Steve Greenberg and Mike Worth, who
have played a solid number two doubles
spot all year, will give it their best in the
Tourney also.

The Tournament got underway at both
the Dutch and Indian Quad courts with the
number one and two singles and number
one doubles matches on Friday morning at
9:00. At 10:15 the number two doubles
play began.

On Saturday the first singles and
doubles semi-finals will begin at 9:00 while
the number two singles and doubles semis
start at 11:00. »

All final matches for singles play will be
held at the Dutch Quad courts, and the
doubles finals will be on Indian Quad’s
courts. oO

Albany booters’ record drops to 2-3 in blanking

Teams are supposed to win at home and
play 500 ball on the road. For the Albany
State men’s soccer team, a new axiom has
been established: Win on the road, lose at
home.

At 2-3, the Danes have established
themselves as soccer road warriors, winn-
ing both of their road games and losing all
three home contests.

The latest neighborhood defeat came in
an agonizing 1-0 loss at the hands of North
Adams, in overtime earlier this week.

Coach Bill Schiefflin sounded like .a
broken tape recorder in his summation of
the game: ‘‘We easily could have been 5-0.
We’ve been very competitive. The best
team doesn’t always win.”

Team ‘‘No-Score’’ has only seven goals
to show for their five games into the
season, including being victims of two

shutouts. They very easily could have been
0-5.

“It’s frustrating,” said the coach.

By Schiefflin’s own admission the team
is playing up to 60 percent of its
capabilities.. He said: ‘I am pleased with
our progress, but not satisfied till we play
to our ability.”

Talk of domination is no longer in the
team’s jargon when describing their
games.

The team is at a lose one, win one pace,
not even putting together two consecutive
wins or-two-losses at-a.time.

“This team is playing better than last
year’s teams,’’ said Schieffin, “but we
have to cash in on the opportunities.’”

With thirty seconds left in the twenty-
minute OT period, rookie Scott Goldstein
let a desperation tie-breaking shot slip past
as it smacked off the crossbar of the goal
area.

Williams captures first college win

By Brian Voronkov

The 4-3 Albany State Women’s cross-
country team increased their record by
three wins when on Wednesday they suc-
cessfully shutout Cobleskill University,
Hartwick College and the College of St.
Rose.

Albany compiled a perfect score of fif-
teen. Cobleskill, coming in second with a
score of fifty was followed by the College
of St. Rose, scoring sixty-five. The host
team, Hartwick, was ruled incomplete
because five of their runners didn’t finish
the demanding course.

The Dane’s times have been improving
ever since they began their season. The
winner of the race was junior Patti
Williams, who paced the race at a slow
22:05. This win represents her first in col-
lege. The race was comparatively slow
due to the poor shape of the Hartwick
course.

Placing third in the meet was Albany’s
Mary Lou Webster, who finished with a
time of 22:32, just behind a Hartwick
runner. Rachel Braslow finished fourth
with a time of 22:45. Freshman Kerry
Sharron placed sixth with a time of
22:57. This represents a fifty-two second
spread - the women’s cross-country
team’s best spread, and an improvement
of thirty-nine seconds.

Braslow was awarded ‘‘break-through
runner of the meet”. Braslow was very
pleased with her time. She spent part of
last year out of training and has not hada
good speed workout this year.

“Today’s meet is an indicator of things

to come’’, said Braslow. ‘‘The morale to-
day was very high and we feel hopeful for
our future meets”’.

Albany Head Coach, Ron White, feels
the team has greatly improved. The
Danes had eight runners finish in the top
ten and they were short Ascher, their se-
cond place runner.

That is, if you can make it beyond the
game and get to the party. As the saying
goes, ‘‘There are no winners or losers in
rugby, only survivors’ . Time-outs are
about as unwelcome in this sport as Donny
Osmond would be opening for the Sex
Pistols. And if you’re planning on playing
for the first half and sitting out the second,
forget it. Rugby only allows for two,
substitutions, and unless your teeth were
scattered around the field on the last
scrum-down, chances are slim that you’ll
get one. And while you’re at it, you can
leave your’shin guards, shoulder pads and
wrist supports at home. Not only are they
considered to be excess baggage in this
sport, but they’re illegal as well.

“You can wear cleats, socks, shorts and
jerseys,’’ said Wechter. ‘‘And a cup is op-
tional, but I strongly recommend one, This
sport is 80 minutes of ‘Kill the guy with the

least not in the mind of the NCAA. It’s

one declare oneself to be a ‘‘rugger”’ the

“to Wechter, the team’s status as a ‘“‘club’”

rather than an NCAA affiliated team is ac-
tually an advantage.

“When you become.an official team,’
explains Wechter, ‘‘all of a sudden you
have mandatory practices with a coach
constantly drilling into you that you’ve got
to win. Our coach, (John Durant), doesn’t
yell at us from the side lines; he plays with
us. And everyone on the team is like a
brother. If anyone on the team gets into
trouble he knows that there are at least 30
guys ready to help him out.”

Yet despite the non-pressured attitude,
the Dane ruggers do like to win, and do so
frequently. After finishing third in last
Spring’s Upstate Rugby Tournament,
(which included 25 teams), the Danes
opened their fall season against Siena last
week with a A-side 12-6 loss and a B-side

“Tm not sure what the hell we can do at
this point,’’ said Schiefflin, commenting a
strategy to overcome their weak offense.

“Unfortunately we did not seem to
generate the offense we needed. The for-
wards weren’t that efficient.’’

Perhaps to win, they must suffer at these
growing stages, still trying to overcome the
team’s inexperience.

“1m not sure we must suffer to learn,”
said the coach.

He praised the defense as “‘the most
outstanding in recent memory,’ yet
recognized the lack of offense. ‘‘It wasa
very mediocre offensive showing by our

midfielders.”
The Danes will have to turn into high

gear as the competition gets stiffer. Up-
coming is Binghamton, Union and Van

Danes to face improved Brockport o

By Kristine Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR

When people talk about the
Great Danes’ powerful schedule
they are referring to teams like
Ithaca, Southern Conneticut and
Norwich University.

They certainly aren’t talking
about RPI, the team the Danes
whipped 54-20 last Saturday, or
Brockport State, a team they face
on the road this Saturday.

Last year Albany handily
defeated the Brockport Eagles, 50

If history repeats itself as it has
for the last fifteen years with the
Danes enjoying a lopsided 12-1-1
advantage in the series over the
Eagles, then Albany should have
a great day in Brockport on
Saturday.

But this year Brockport’s pro-
gram appears to be at a turning
point. Under a new head coach,
Ed Matejkovic, the Eagles are 1-2
going into Saturday’s matchup
and are coming off of a 17-14
upset over Division II Mansfield
College last Saturday.

“For us with two wins in the
last five years upsetting Mansfield
for us was a big plus,” said Mate-
jkovic. ‘‘In anybody’s eyes that
would be a big thing. It’ll give us
confidence coming against good
teams.”

Albany’s head coach Bob Ford
has been facing an unchanging
Brockport team for the last 15

years.
“They’ve been consistently the

same,”’ said Ford. ‘‘They’ve had :

good athletes, but have been
relatively undisciplined without a
clear concept of what the hell is
going on.””

He added, ‘‘Relatively un-
disciplined teams have a tendency
to be beaten.”

Still Ford noted the time about
three years ago when Brockport
beat Ithaca. Yes that’s the same
Ithaca that has made six trips to
the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in
the NCAA finals.

In their season opener,
Brockport lost to Mercyhurst
35-7. Ford said Mercyhurst’s
coach said they beat Brockport
badly, but there was a difference
in the team. They are disciplined,
organized, and have a conceptual
knowledge of the game, explain-
ed Ford.

As for the upset over
Mansfield, Ford said, ‘‘It’s the
first real victory they’ve had in
five years, that’s an impressive
win for them. This guy (Mate-
jkovic) seems to be making an im-
pact. How much? I don’t know,
they are 1-2 right now.””

The Danes are 1-1 and accor-
ding to Matejkovic are one of the
best, if not the best team
Brockport faces.

“It'll be a good football game,’”’
said Matejkovic: ‘‘A challenge

Ford noted how every week so-

football.

“We have to go in emotionally
ready to play, said Ford. “It’s a
hell of a lot harder to stay up
there. It’s easier to play Ithaca.’’

offense as quarterback for
Brockport. This year is his first

Netwomen halted by Binghamton, 6-3

By Mike Brewster
STAPF WRITER

The annual women’s tennis rivalry
between the Binghamton Colonials
and the Albany State Great Danes
was renewed Tuesday afternoon as
the visitors came into Albany’s
Capital Land Racquet Club seeking
revenge for the 8-1 humiliation
handed to them last spring by
Albany.

Consider the defeat avenged.

Binghamton used a fine match
from first singles player Bonnie
Laudel and strong all-around
doubles play to hand the Great
Danes their first loss of the season.
The Danes record drops to 3-1 as
they now move into a difficult
stretch against several private school
opponents.

Coach Linda Myers had nothing
to complain about, however.
Regardless of the final outcome, the
Danes very likely could have played
their best match of the year.

“We were even with them after
the singles matches, they just played
some ‘ine doubles. I’m happy with
our singles players. Geri played a
good match and still lost, 6-2, 6-0, so
that’s the kind of day it was. Bonnie

». just didn’t miss’’, said Myers, referr-
ing to Laudel, a four year student at
Binghamton and former SUNYAC
first singles champion. Although
Chiodo has yet to beat Laudell in her
career, Myers said Tuesday’s match
was the closest, 6-2, 6-0 match that
anyone will ever see and Chiodo
pushes Laudell harder than anyone.

One of Tuesday’s bright spots was
Sophomore Caryn Levy, who was
involved in the best two matches of

the day. The first of those was her
6-2, 6-7, 7-6 victory in singles, easily
the best match of the day. Her and
Chiodo then teamed up at first
doubles. After coasting through the
first set they lost the next two, the
last coming in a tiebreaker. It was
the third tiebreak Levy was involved
in that day.

Liz Feinberg’s steady ground
game can outlast just about anybody
from the baseline, but her serve and
volleying opponent was at the net all
day and pressured Feinberg into
numerous errors. Feinberg lost the

match, 6-4, 6-1.

Fourth singles player Natalie
Goldberg fell behind early and never
really got close as she was beaten 6-2,
6-1. Things got better from there,
however, as the bottom of the line-
up continued to come through for
the Danes. At the fifth position Ellen
Katz won her match in straight sets
and freshman Laurie Wilk maintain-
ed her unblemished singles record, as
she triumphed 6-1, 7-5.

The wins by Katz and Wilk kept
the Danes in the match for only a
short while however. The heart-
breaking loss of Chiodo and Levy at
first doubles enabled Binghamton to
take the edge and they ran off the
last two doubles matches with
Telative ease, by scores of 6-4,6-4,
and 6-3,6-3.

Even though Myers had hoped to
do better against a high caliber team
such as Binghamton, there were en-
couraging signs. The singles posi-
tions look extremely solid, in par-
ticular the top and bottom of the line
up. In doubles, the first team of
Chiodo and Levy have been com-
petitive, winning nearly every match
and Getman-Wilk suffered only
their first loss, as did Katz-Goldberg.
And maybe most importantly, from
a confidence standpoint, Albany
now knows they can hit with
Binghamton and other competitive
schools.

With the four match homestand
complete, the Danes will take to the
road and travel to Middlebury and
Skidmore, perhaps the two toughest
matches on the schedule. They face

Albany rugby opens
season with Union
at home on Saturday

By Cathy Errig
|STAFF WRITER

Forget everything you know about English rugby.
It’s not at all like American football. fe

But football is a lot like rugby.

“Don’t say that rugby is a lot like football,”’ says
[Dave Wechter, this. year’s Albany State Rugby-
[Football club president. ‘‘Rugby is much older.
|American football actually came out of rugby.”’

So where did rugby come from? Legend has it that in
the midst of an English football game, a player decided
to break both tradition and the fundamental rule of the
game by scooping up the ball with his hands and runn-
ing with it. As a consequence, he was immediately clob-
bered by the opposition, and the sport was born.

“That’s the legend,” explained Wechter. ‘I don’t

know if it’s actually true or not. I mean, that guy
would have violated the fundamental rule of English
football.”
If anyone was to violate the fundamental rule of
rugby, it’s doubtful that a new sport would be born.
That’s because no one is quite sure what the fundamen-
tal rule of rugby is.

“T have a slight clue as to the rules and regulations of
the game,” said Wechter, a three-year veteran of the
game. ‘‘But not much. We just hope we don’t get any
penalties when we play. We know what the conse-
quences are if we get a penalty. But we’re not all that
sure what to do in order to avoid one.”

Or rather, what not to do. There isn’t much you
can’t do in this game where offense equals defense, the
ball is the line of scrimmage, and partying before the
game, during the game, and after the game is more im-
portant than the game itself. Or is it?

‘As I see it, there are three halves to rugby,”’ ex-
plains Wechter.*‘‘There’s the first half of the game, the
second half of the game, and the party afterward. And
they’re all of equal importance, even though the party

will last a lot longer.”” 19>
