YOU’VE BEEN
SCREWED!

A short time ago, New York’s honorable legislators succumbed to
the pressures of misinformed activists. The legislators determined
that at 18 you are no longer a full fledged citizen. As the law now
stands, even though you are mature enough to vote for the
President of the United States, or to die for your country, you are
not mature enough or responsible enough to drink.

This same group of people is presently drafting legislation to strip
all persons under the age of 21 of their right to drink.

Don't let this happen. Join us in the fight to protect your rights.

First: Complete the attached statement of opinion and drop it off at any |
of the taverns listed below. We will see that it gets to the right

people.

Second: Stop at any of the listed taverns and sign the petitions we have
posted.

Third: Watch for further details in upcoming issues of this newspaper.

No one else will speak for you. We need your help now,

Together we can make a difference.

To: The Honorable Richard Conners:

I deeply resent the efforts of the New York State Legislature to
disenfranchise me. If Iam old enough to vote and to die for my
country, then I am old enough to responsibly handle alcohol. I
urge you to resist efforts designed to strip more of my fellow
citizens of their rights. Stop the movement to raise the drinking

the same monthly rent on
¢ residences,

Mario M. Cuomo’s proposed
1983-84 budget calls for a $150 increase in
state university dormitory rents, bringing
the semester rate to $700 — or $175 0
month — for a maximum 16’ by 16!

SUNY college presidents pay an average
OF $1,802 per year — or about $150.a month

= for their state-owned residences, Those
“residences,"" paid for by taxpayers, are
sometimes mansions, complete with a ser-
vant and groundskeeper

Cuomo's budget message justifies the
room rent increase as an action "in accord
with the Trustees’ policy of self-sufficiency
for dormitory operations,"*

The increase will “obviate an increase in
the current proportion of state subsidy,"
Cuomo said

But the bulk of the revenues generated by
the rent increase is not slated for that pur-
pose, the governor's budget indicates,

Cuomo states {n the budget that $120 of
the rent increase will fund ‘salary ad-
jusiments”” — pay increases — for universi-
ty employees, Another $17 of the $150 ‘will
be needed to support fringe benefit in-
creases for dormitory operation
employees."

Consequently, only $13 of the additional
$150 dorm residents will be paying per year
will actually go toward maintaining and
operating the dormitories, and repaying the
state construction debt,

State allocations for the maintenance of
SUNY presidential residences, however,
Were not cut in the governor's proposed
bud

is paid $69,200 a year, rents his New

Regarding the low-rate housing, SUNY
officials noted that “New York is one of a
very few states requiring its state university
presidents to contribute toward their hous:

Charlton explained that presidential
residences are subsidized because they are
used for public, as well as private, pur-
poses,

“The use of a president's house,
therefore, for community-public as well as
college receptions and meetings of various
sizes and importance, together with its use
for hosting dignitaries and other official

Plant’s records subpoenaed

Albany, N.Y.
(AP) State Attorney General Robert Abrams says he has
subpoenaed all of N-L Industries’ records on the
company's burial of uranium at its plant just outside the ci-
ty of Albany, Abrams says documents on the firm's en-
vironmental (esting also are needed to study the extent of
any possible contamination,

The subpoena requires the company to turn over any
documents relating to its burial of uranium wastes and its
Tegal authority to do so, It also seeks information on the ex-
act location of all buried material,

Abrams said his staff has “serfous reservations and
criticisms" about (wo reports prepared in the past two
years by environmental scientists for the company concern=
ing buried uranium and groundwater contamination.

N-L spokesman James Hill sald the company will have
no {mmediate reaction (o the subpoena or the Attorney
General's criticism of the company's reports.

Reagan considers 2nd term

Washington, D,

(AP) President Reagan says he'll use the economy as a
suldeline when he decides whether to run for re-election. In
‘a (elevision interview, Reagan said a failure of his economic
program would definitely be a sign that he should not seek
another term, But he gave no indication that he's,lost any
of his optimism since he won his first (ax and budget
from Congress in 1981,

In the same interview, the president used some of his
strongest language ever to criticize the presence of Israeli
troops in Lebanon, Reagan says the Israelis are needlessly
delaying their withdrawal from Lebanese territory, He also
says Israel is technically an occupying force as long as it
refuses Lebanon's request that it remave its troops,

Report blames Sharon

(AP) The commission that probed Israel's role in the
Beirut massacre recommended Tuesday that Defense
Minister Ariel Sharon resign,

‘The report, handed to reporters at 10:00 a.m,, 3:00 a.m,
EST, sald Sharon bore “personal responsibility’ for the
massacre in the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camips. It said
that if Sharon did not quit, Prime Minister Menachem
Begin should dismiss him,

We have found," the three investigators wrote in the
108-page public section of the report, "that the minister of
defense bears personal responsibility. In our opinion it is
fitting that the minister of defense draw the appropriate
personal conclusions arising out of the defects of revealed
with regard to the manner in which he discharged the duties
of his office,”

It noted that Begin “'may, after informing the Cabinet of
his intention to do so, remove a minster from office.

The findings signaled an upheaval in Israeli politics,
‘opening the possibility that the government would resign
and set an early election, Iracl Radio said.

The report suid the investigators were not satisfied with
Begin's testimony that he never imagined that Israel, in let-
ting the militiamen into the camps, was risking a massacre.

Reagan dismisses Lavell

Washington, D.C.

AP) President Reagan fired Rita Lavelle as assistant
ministrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Mon-
day, and guards with bill
bar removal of documents at the heart of a constitution
dispute between Congress and the Executive Branch,

The firing was announced by the While House as a
brouhaha raged at the agency over whether Lavelle had quit
or her resignation had been demanded by EPA Ad-
ministrator Anne Gorsuch, Two of Layelle's top aides also
were fired.

Some of the documents being guarded in her office were
‘among those subpoenaed by a House subcommittee, It was
the refusal of Gorsuch to turn over these documents which
fed {0 a contempt of Congress citation against the EPA
chief,

Clay Jones, the chief EPA spokesman, said the agency's
chief of staff, John Daniel, ordered the guards outside
Lavelle’s offices to ‘safeguard all the materials and govern-
ment property."

“There is a lot of sensitive information in the office, in-
cluding some of the documents that were withheld by Gor-
such,"” Jones said

New legal drinking age slashes Rat's profits

By Michelle Brennan

ince New York State hiked the legal
drinking age to 19 on Dec, 16, the
Rathskellar has experienced a 30 percent
drop in profits according to Manager Jay
McClure, However, local bars and liquor
stores have not bee affected as severely.
“We've put some food specials in, and
We're working on serving fresh fruit drinks
out of the snack bar,’’ said McClure,
“That's still in the planning stages. As far
as | know, if business stays down, we're go-
ing to drop the live bands and just go with a
DJ or taped music."

Presently’ the Rat has live entertainment
Wednesday through Saturday night. On.
those nights, the doormen check for two
forms of identification before they give out
handstamps, which allow patrons to pur-
chase liquor. In addition, McClure main-
tained that its no longer permitted to take
alcoholic beverages out of the premises.
This action protects their license to serve.

Financial awards unaffected by delayed forms

By Maddi Kun

There is conflicting information concern-
ing the reason for the delay in the Financial
Aid Forms, which were two months late in

riving, but according to the financial aids
office, students should experience no pro-
blems stemming from the lateness of filing,

The forms, commonly referred to as
FAFs (Financial Aid Forms), are used to
apply for federal assistance such as’ Pell
Grants and National Direct Student Loans,

The forms were expected in November but

arrived in early January

There are various reports as o why there
was a delay in receiving the FAFS. Accor-
ding to the College Press Service the
lateness of the forms was due to a disagree-
ment over family contribution schedules,

Donald Whitlock, Director of Financial
Aids, said that “there was little change in

this year's form as compared 10 last
year's,"

Student Aid News, “a news service
specializing in financial’ assistance pro:
grams, claims it was a tawsule against the
Department of Education, not a disagree-
ment over the family contribution
schedules, which resulted in the delay

The news service stated that the student
group COPUS (Coalition of Independent
College and University Students) is attemp=
(ing (0 sie the Department of Education for
forcing siidenis 10 pay fees to apply for
federal financial aid, The service goes on to
explain that the placing of the fees by the
Education Department is barred by the
Higher Education Act, and before the
1982-83 school year, students applying for
thie federal aid could use the forms for free

The matter was resolved last month when
Education Secretary Terrel Bell, gave the
fo-ahead to print and distribute the 83-84

application forms, Attached to the form is

I'm Worried that 1 might not get as much

David Storch, also a studént, said, “1
aliyays try to get them in as fast as 1 can,
The faster the better."

Whitlock claimed that “despite the
lateness of the forms there has been no
hardship on the students, tn fact, the
forms’ late arrival will be slightly better for

But, "there was nothing to be gained by

ing the forms home,! Whitlock said.

We discourage the students from filing
early, No matter when the forms come
they are all processed together at a later
dae,” he explained,

The FAF must be filed by April 22, 1983,
They are not processed for some time,
however, depending on when and how

According (o the Whitlock, the FAFs are

SUNY’s low tuition attracts foreign students

By Suzanne Abels
STANT WRITER:

A record number of foreign students
have been drawn to SUNY schools over the
past few years, finding education he
relatively cheap, according to International
Students Advisor J. Paul Ward.

Ward said many of the $30 international
students, 80 percent of which are graduate
students, come from Cyprus and Malasia,
and have chosen SUNY campuses for an
Anglo-Saxon education because British
universities are more expensive,

He also added that many of Albany's
foreign students applied to this school "due
to the intense language program we have to
train in English proficiency,

Although the number of international

¢ students “has doubled over the last four
years," said- Ward, “there has been a
Steady surge of applicants from overseas
‘over the last seven (o eight years."* Still,
Ward predicts the growth to level off *'to
not much more than 800 students this

decade, The reason for the declining enroll
ment will be largely due to the increasing
ost of tuition,’ he said. Proposed tuition
cost increases for out of state and intern
tional students are $1,400.

Undergraduate Admissions Counselor,
Steven Thomson, supported Ward!s
reasoning for the increasc in international
students, saying that ‘the major factor is
that our costs are less than European coun-
tri¢s.'” Thomson added, “1 suspect that
there are more college age students in the
developing countries’ and therefore, more
international students,"

Thomson pointed out that in the Fall
1982 semester, ‘seventy-three out of 300
students were accepted from 2500-3000 in:
quiries."” He said that the majority of these

Know your legal rights before moving off campus

By Anthony Silber
ZDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Part two In a series on off-campus housing

When you speak to landlords you are
dealing with businesspeople, They are look-
ing out for their self-interests and not
yours,

The first questions to settle when dealing
with a prospective landlord include, ob-
viously: is the place still available? Then, is
it furnished? What is the rent? Are utilitie
included? How much is the security
deposit? Is there a lease? If so what is its
extent?

The New York State Human Rights Law
forbids discrimination in housing on the
basis of race, creed, color, sex, national
origin, marital status, or physical or mental
disability, This law protects your right to
equal (reatment regarding the showing and
renting of all housing as well as your right
to file a complaint or oppose practices for-
bidden under the law without fear of
retaliation,

A phone call to the prospective landlord
before a visit is as beneficial as a check on
information you get in person, If-you think
your race of national origin can be iden-
tified by your voice and it might be a
hinderance to you in obtaining an apart
ment, the Survival Guide suggests you have
someone else mike the call for you

Immediately following the phone call, go
to the apartment and ask (0 see it, If the
formation received in person is diffe
from that received on the phone, of you are
{old that the place fs not available anymore,
possibly you are being discriminated
against, In this situation, go to the Off
Campus Housing Office (OCHO) or the
Off-Campus Association (OCA) for advice.
Both are located in the Campus Center

It is no! however, illegal ta discriminate

in housing on the basis of age.

In 1974, the city of Albany instituted the
Certificate of Occupancy (CO) for rented
property. The law states that every apart-
ment must be inspected by the elty building
department whenever it becomes vacant, If
the unit passes the inspection, the landlord
receiyes 4 CO that is good until the apart
ment next becomes vacant or until tenants
complain and violations are cited by the

building department, If the unit docs not
pass, violations must be repaired before a
CO can be issued, The major hitch in the
system is that landlords are not required to

post the CO, so tenants must ask {0 sce it
According 10 OCA's Survival Guide 0
Housing, the CO is the only guarantee you
have that your future home has met
minimum health and safety standards:

In an ordinance passed by the city's
Common Council in 1980, landlords are
forbidden to make money on. properties
Which have not passed inspection by the

‘Real World’

“By Mark Gesner

The real world, A place where real men
‘and women work, love, and try to survive,
A place where neither Mom, Dad, nor
university walls stield one from all of life's
uncertainties, A place where many students
feel like foreigners, and hence, have anx-
feties about entering.

My sense is that Middle
undergraduate students Earth

have the perspective that
what they're doing now Roots
doesn't really count, They

don't necessarily fee! prepared for that real
World,” explained Career and Life Plann
ing instructor Randy Specterman, a doc-
toral siudent in counseling psychology.

“Whatever students think is the real
world is what their fears will be, People
should think to themselves what they con:
sider to be that real world," Specterman
said, “If they can make the general fears
more concrete - that’s where you start
handling those concerns,"

‘One very conerete fear cast early in the
college career is the belief that in choosing a
major one simultaneously chooses a pro-
fession. This myth can cause unnecessary
anxiety, and can later entrap someone into
a job where he or she is unhappy.

“There is not a job associated with every

bulldinfg department, It also explicitly sup-
ports tenants who withhold rent because of
sub-standard conditions, The survival guide
points out that it Is up to tenants to ensure
that this ordinance fs used as a tool for bet-
ter housing,

Every landlord has an obligation to keep
his apartments in good repair, Albany has a
city housing code that lists conditions in
which all apartments should be kept, If
your landlord will not maintain the apart-
ment and observe the building code, there
are legal steps you can and should take 10
get the landlord to make repairs, You
should file a complaint with the code en:
forcement bureau of the city building
department, located on the third floor of
City Hall, Also, United Tenants of Albany,

nd OCHO are important allies, and

should be notified, When you schedule an
inspection, be sure that you or someone else
who is familiar with the violations is
available to show the inspector. Obviously,
you should not rely on the landlord to guide
the inspection, Major items cf the housing
code are listed in the Survival Guide to
Housing.

‘According to Karleen Karlson, the direc
tor of OCHO, her office is forbidden by
board of trustee poliey to screen landlords
or inspect apartments, Therefore, she said,
OCHO fists all landlords who are approved
by the city, She emphasized the tenant's
responsibility for ensuring that the landlord
they chose has city approve

OCHO, which is connected with neither
landlords nor students, provides advice and
information on off-campus housing 10

SUNYA students and publishes in March a
list of landlords with available units,

OCA, a student organization, maintains
a list of complaints against tandlords, Ac-
cording to Diane Pololsky, the coordinator
of OCA, the idea of the list is to aid
students as they search for apartments, and
to make them aware of pitfalls, She said
that roaches and not gelling back security
deposits are common problems, ‘We don't
have any chronic problem landlords at this
point,"” she said, “but maybe we'll know of
some at the end of the semeste

Rents for off-campus housing can vary
Widely. They usually range anywhere from
$70 to $250, depending on factors such as
Whether or not an apartment is furnished,
Whether or not utilities are included, loca-
tion, facilities, and apartment quality, Ac-
cording to Karlson, in 1979, a poll found
that 12 percent of the students surveyed
paid between $70 and $110 per month
in rent, Most paid less, In 1982, however,
that percentage rose to 62, an increase of
500 percent, The {wo studies show that
Tents increased significantly in three years,
but Karlson believes that they have begun
to peak. Landlords had a tremendous de-
wind in 1979, she says, and were able {0
ise thelr rents, As reased, many
students elected to remain on campus, thus
easing the demand, and the upward
pressure on price

In September, 1979, the New York State
alfatory Eviction Protection Bill became
law, The law provides protection against
eviction oF rent increases When a tenant
takes action (o Improve his or hier housing
situation. For example, if a tenant reports
code violations and the landlord retaliates
by telling the tenant to move, under the law
the fenant has a strong defense in court and
the landlord has to prove some other valid
reason for evicting the tenant,

‘One current law is a serious obstacle to
ffective code enforcement, The ‘Anti-
grouper!” section of Albany's zoning or
dinance prohibits four or more unrelated
persons from living together, According to
the survival gulde, about a third) of all
SUNYA\'Ss off-campus students live in viola

worries cause unnecessary anxiety

wajor — the person has to make the
association themselves," said Career Plann-
ing and Placement Director John W. Alex-
ander, ‘'People think that to pick a majors
to pick a job — that just isn’t true."”

Ie’s evident that finding the right job and
then getting hired is indeed a primary con:
cern students fave when graduation rolls
around, The thought of not experiencing
emotional job satisfaction as well as not
“making it? financially can wreak hayoo
on the nerves,

The frustration becomes more intense
When a student starts feeling closed into a
specific career choice, totally unaware of
the various job options that really do exist
“Deal with your anxiety with information
and know-how, Know what you can offer
to the job market," suggested Alexander
“It doesn't make the job market any easier,
but you know you're doing something
positive,"

Even after oblaining a degree many
\duates. are not fully aware of what skills
they have to offer the job market. Accor-
ding to Specterman many different skills
can be applied in varied jobs. In fact, a
CUE booklet entitled Major Decisions
states a prevalent myth among
undergraduates, that’ a liberal arts student
has few talents which are valuable in the
world of work.” The booklet states that in.

ality, “By the time you are 20 years old,
you have developed identifiable abilities
that can be applied successfully (o a wide
Variety of occupations,”

Another unnecessary pressure graduates
place on themselves stems from the false
belief that the first Job they choose has to
be their life's work, According to the Major
Decisions booklet, career planning is not an
irreversible process: “You can change
career directions whenever your tatents and
needs dictate, because these attributes are
continally being changed and reshaped by
Vocational experience

Specterman emphasized that a career is
not ready-made, "Many people have a
static view of a profession, They try to place
themselves into what they see as the picture
Of a profession," she said, “Most people
feel the profession will determine who you
will be when it’s really you who will make
the profession, You can haye an impact on
designing what your career will be like.’

Of course there are many graduates who
do find what they're looking for at the right
time and the right price, Assistant Dean of
Student Affairs Barbara Schoonmaker
pointed out the positive aspects of career
exploration, “1 see @ lot of competent
seniors filling good positions, I have scen a
ot of success stories,” Schoonmaker said,
"J don’t want {t to sound pessimistic, The

jobs are there and this school prepares the
students very well.’

Part of the preparation that Schoor
maker referred 0 is in the abundance of
referral sources the school offers to help
students prepare for their careers

The Career Planning and Placement Of

tion finding information, Along with offer-
ing resume Workshops, videotapes on inter-

In Albany, the courts are on trial,

Twenty-five local citizens, who
call themselves the Coalition of

basis for the next three months to

provide a presence in the cour
troom as concerned citizens, to

event is the Fund for Modern

to Brandon,

Administrative Judge Edward
Conway expressed the prevalent
feeling of the law representatives in
attendance, saying, “We welcome
court observers. It is rare that
anyone comes to the courtroom just
to observe, today."” Conway  ex-
pressed his concern that the courts
have, ‘lost their dignity,"* and said,

jt is a good thing that the general
public see, hear, and report what is
going on. It has an effect on the
conduct of the court.”

Michael Jackson’s Party

ver since the release of the LP

Thriller, Michael Jackson has

been center stage in most enter-
tainment magazines, Andy Warhol's Inter-
bles, (a simple fab mag). the Village Voice,
and most recently Rolling Stone have all
featured Michael in the last few months,
and to give you a general flavor, the most
meaningful information to arise from these
{alks is that he and Liza just love fo gossip,
gossip. gossip. that he and Paul could

Jong, and that he and Diana just adore go-
ing shopping, just like ordinary people

Craig Marks

That's the beauty of it. Michael Jackson
is pure escapism, without any remorse or
deep Intellect, He's been an entertainer
since he was five, and he always will be an
entertainer, a perfect example of a kid
ified with a beautiful talent and dealing
with It as an adult the way | wish | would in
his situation. Call it shallow, superficial,
whatever, He's another plane, one that
maybe never touches down, and it's agreat
feeling to put on one of his records and rise
up a few levels. Angst is okay, but it gets to
be a bore alter a while, If!'m ata party and
someone starts telling me their problems.
‘or the world’s problems, no matter how
fight s/he may be, I can't walt to find a
more plastic conversation
Now obviously there's lots of music out
there that's escapist, so the question is,
what does he have that the others don't? If
you asked him, Michael would probably
{ell you that his voice Is a gift from God,
something very wonderful and unex
plainable, Who am I to argue? He has the
Voice, a maturing falsetto which glides and
sparkles absolutely effortlessly. His voice is
fuller now than it was three years ago on
Off The Wall, and Thriller dows pale a bit
comparison because of this. There Is
nothing In Thriller that matches the over
whelming emotion of "She's Out of My
Life’! (there probably never will be (or that
matter); So the ballads do suffer a litle. But
the undeniable groove from Off the Wall
‘and the Jackson's Trumph has been
perfected and even expanded, and that's
what makes Thriller the party LP of the
year (witness a recent off-campus party

- Let them eat State

budget, Gov, Cuomo took a minute to explain

4 the process the Division of Budget and his of-
fice go through to compose the budget, He carefully
described how the DOB goes through the budget line
by line, trying to equitably distribute New York
State's funds among the competing departments. He
said that no part of the budget escapes careful
scrutiny,

If this is true, then the only reason Cuomo could
have allowed the state's subsidy level to SUNY cam-
pus presidents’ housing to continue while drastically
raising the room rent SUNY students pay is because
he wanted it that way, He niust be aware that the
state is subsidising housing for campus ad-
ministrators at a rate obscenely above that subsidis-
ing student housing,

Mario Cuomo seems (to be an_ intelligent,
thoughtful man, He gives the impression that what
he says is what he believes, and he appears to be a
truely honest politician,

However, this apparent contradiction makes his
claims of candor seem mistimed, if not misstated,
His rationale for subjecting SUNY to the largest tul-
tion, fee and room rent increases in its history com-
bined with the largest staff reductions ever was that
the state's financial crisis was so severe that even
priorities like higher education must be drastically
reduced — but perks like low-rent housing remain
untouched,

Providing a house for university presidents is a
long-standing, almost universal tradition that
Cuomo has decided to retain, Providing an
cessable, low-cost quality higher education is a tradi-

A fter last week's press briefing on the state

tion that New York has been building for 20 years,
but Cuomo’s budget will to end that tradition in a
single fiscal year. There's nothing wrong with keep-
ing up the tradition of the “president's house,” but it
looks rather aristocratic to do so when students are
facing severely increased costs for a compromised
education,

If Cuomo’s budget planners had really carefully
examined the budget, they would have noticed this
imbalance and made their fee increases and service
cuts more equitable, They appear to have sloppily
slashed at parts of the SUNY budget, and passed
‘over others, If so, their claims of a lack of reveni
and careful budgeting just don’t stand. i

Creative financing

ple stuck indoors dug for new topics to

discuss, hoping tq avoid cabin fever, Two
ideas kept cropping up, and both reflect the most
pressing issues many students are facing.

The first is the State University budget. Cuomo
says that the state budget must be cut and that in-
come taxes can't be raised, This means SUNY gets
drastically cut and tuition and other costs are increas-
ed, The second is the current dryness of the recrea-
tlonal drug market — especially marijuana, the most
popular illicit recreational drug. \

T he snow drifted in yesterday, again, and peo-

With increased enforcement of laws forbidding
cannabis, the supply on the street has been reduced,
Consumers of the common herb have been complain-
ing about the high prices marijuana has been selling
at, and many have fantasized about solutions to their
frustrations, Some have connected the issues, and
have come up with a solution to both problems
Their suggestion fs the regulated legalization of mari-

juana,

It would work something like this: The state would
sell the newly-legalized cannibis at rates now com-
mon, and use the revenue to finance what taxes used
to, Without having to wolry about all the expenses
and dangers importers now face, the state would be
able to sell marijuana at prices many times the cost of
importing, Many tens of millions could be raised,
and even better, the state would be cut expenditures
in some areas, Because fewer people would be com:
mitting crimes, fewer prison cells would be needed,
Money poured into drug enforcement could be
reallocated into more pressing areas of criminal
justice, such as combatting crimes of violence

This kind of sin tax would also satisfy the con:
sumer and the taxpayer. Consumers would have
their product easily accessible, and taxpayers would
have their rates eased, It is a pipe dream, perhaps,
but one that could stave off the state's financial
crisis,

We, of course, deplore any use of illegal drugs.

Unwanted intervention

Why does the United States not work in Central
America? This fs a many sided question but it does have a
central theme — if the tide of history in Central America
has anything to tell of our involvement in this region, it is
that our presence has not only not been enjoyed, it has con-
tinually been actively fought. Why is it that America still jn«
volves {iself where it is not wanted? This takes some ex-
plaining,

a W
by the Spanish, Their rule was exploitive, mainly finding
the gold a reasonable incentive to remain, But by the early
19th century they had gone, leaving a power vacuum, Many
groups tried {0 fill this, but none were experienced enough
Or strong enough to holdithe reins of power for very long.
‘Anarchy prevailed, The United States observed all this and,
feeling that it had the stability to run its country, felt it
should bring stability (o Central America (also it saw ripe
markets and resources), Britian and France saw things
‘along similar lines, A strong military rule soon took hold in
all the nations — right wing, cruel, harsh at time, and
disliked by the people. But no one group in these countries
could hold up against the usually better armed ruling body,
especially once the American military muscle had ils
presence known, But what America has never understood is
that this is not a natural way for these nations to be. They
may not lash out initially, but the desire is always there.
Supporting an unpopular dictatorship never succeeds for
very long, and the waves are only that much greater when it
is not surprising that these Central American revolutions
take on a Marxist air either — if they wish to push an un-
wanted dictatorship out, it takes more than a firm grip and
fa strong heart (especially in this super-power day and age)
— jt takes money and arms, and itis usually the poor and
the oppressed who have the most to gain from these
movements, These countries typically have rich minorities
and overwelmingly poor majorities, with the discrepancy of
wealth being extremely sharp, so they turn to whomever
will give them money. Castro, today's symbol in Central
‘America of a successful revolutionary, turned first to the
U.S, whose revolution is the world symbol of the overthrow
of despotism, but he was turned away. These revolutionary
figures, such as Castro in Cuba, the Sandinistas in
Nicaragua, and the revolutionaries in El Salvador, and
their followers, are not dissatisfied passingly, this a burn-
ing desire, and if a Marxist-Leninist following will give
them the means to succeed, then they will accept that
ideology. But by accepting this ideology, these revolutions
are seen as Communist movements and the U.S, policy of
containment now takes effect. As long as the right-wing
leaders remain anti-communist, we feel it is our duty to
support them against these revolutions, But it is not an af:
finity to Communism which drives these revolutions, it is

pragnatism for a socialized way of life, hopefully better,
Socialism must be separated from Communism to fully
understand this — Israel, Britain, Sweden, and China are
socialist states, but only China is communist. Socialism o
ly means the people have a more equalized share because
the government does a lot of the controlling of prices and
production. This is good(even the U.S. has a bit of this), It
is when it is seen as Communist that the U.S. begins to
worry,
Nicaragua, which overthrew its leader Somoza'in 1978, is
a country led by Marxists. This is not to say the
Nicaraguans are Communists; for the first time they may
have a real sense of democracy. Somoza, and his father,
were far from liberal men —the atrocities under these men
fare far beyond the occurances today, The same situation
occured with Batiste in Cuba, The needs of the people are
not answered, growing day after day, until a revolution
finally explodes violently, The U.S., because of its affili
tion with the dictatorship, is automatically disliked, and we
suffer enormously, Because of the way these right wing
leaders act, the simple fact that they are not communists
doesn't make them democratic, In a sense, these countries
must become communist o become democratic, At least
more of the people live better lives, Things in these coun-

Knowledgeable thief

To the Editor:

“There have been a series of robberies in the men's locker
room of the Physical Education Building in the past few
‘weeks that I think people should be aware of. At least five
people that I know of, and perhaps twice as many as that,
have been the victims of a resourceful theif who is able to
open combination locks with apparent ease, and then
remove the contents of wallets or the wallets themselves.
Lockers have been found ajar with the Jock still intact, or
closed with the lock jammed due to some device that was
apparently used to open them, In all cases wallets or their
contents were missing.

Several students, a faculty member, and members of the
men’s basketball team have all been victims of these crimes
which have been happening since the Christmas break.
They seem to be the work of a knowledgeable thief. Could
it possibly be the same persons(s) who broke into six cars in
the Indian Quad parking lot last semester by punching
pinholes beneath the doorlocks and inserting some kind of
tool to unlatch the doors?

Whatever the case may be, I would like to issue this war-
ning to users of the men's locker room: Don't leave any
Wwallets or valuables in your lockers if at all possible,
because even when securely locked with a combination
lock, they are not safe,

Hopefully, Campus Security will make an attempt to
discourage these thefts and perhaps find the responsible
party, and I would encourage anyone who might have i
formation or suspicions to inform Campus Security

With a little more awareness, maybe we can be rid of

this problem.

greater emphasis on learning, rather than the com-
petitiveness thatcomplexgrading systeins breed. The unfor-
tunate reality is however, that the job market Is extremely
competitive, and I think SUNYA students deserve the same
advantage that their competition enjoys.

A student's GPA at Binghamton may be a 3.25, while a
student at SUNY Albany has a 3.0, when they've both
‘achieved the same level of work, On my SUNYA resume
the prospective employer will not read ‘We here at Albany
place an emphasis on learning, and that is why we continue
to employ a vague grading system.’

Too often, we as students stand idly by in a state of
apathy, never questioning the administrative functions and
procedures that may have a significant impact on our
future, We are the consumers of this corporation named
SUNY Albany, Without us, the University would not exist
Don't you think we shold have a say in issues that will ef-
fect our future? If 1 achieve anything at this University, it
will be the institution of a fairer grading system, so that the
future students of the University at Albany will enjoy an
equal competitive edge with students from the majority of
American institutions of higher learning, when searching
for a job, 1 would greatly welcome any response from both
fellow students and SUNYA faculty and personnel

—Mait Clune

Tootsie transcends

To the Editor:

T would like to take issue with Rob O'Connor's review of
Tootsie on Feb. 1. Tootsie is not a ‘feminist film that
males can relate 10" nor is it a “political statement.'" It is
not the case that men “gain indirectly by increasing their

scintion of women." Rather, Tootsie transcends these
notions to the human experience we can all relate to equal-
ly. Tootsie exemplifies the duality that exists within
everyone, Androgyny, being both male and female, often-
limes expressed in literature, is the successful element por-
irayed by Dustin Hoffman, He is able to tune into feelings
of femininity and masculinity simultaneously and resolve,
them without conflict, but with enhancement of his overall
self-understanding, His performance highlights the
stereotyped pitfalls and advantages that man and woman
experience, but zeros in on the real trials facing both sexes.
by examining these feelings Hoffman communicates to men
and women that itis *O.K." to put on the “other guy's"?
shoes and further, that the feelings identified with one sex
Or the other are not necessarily incompatible, 1 think the
statement here is relevant not only to feminists, but also 10
anyone who appreciates the heightened awareness and
fulfillment that only comes from exploring what is inside

us.

Not a love story

To the Edite

1am writing to make people aware of a film
begin running of Friday, February 4, 1983 at the
Theater in Latham, The film is called Not A Love
itis an antipornographic documentary that discusses the ex-
tent and growth of pornography and its resultant effects on
oursoclety. 1 found the film to be personally disturbing and
thought provoking,

The film was produced by the National Film Board of
Canada, and is narrated by such well-known feminists as
Kate Millet (Sexual Politics) and Susan Griffin, It
discussion by a number of other male and female specialists
in the field, The film is very graphic, as it shows actual porn

lips and explicit scenes from various sex shops. It looks at
the ‘latest in porn," which depicts women as objects of
violence and torture, Discussed, as well, is the effect of
such films on men’s roles in our society. The film will be
running for at least one week, and longer if there is a strong
response,

1 was asked to preview the film last week for the Albany
County Rape Crisis Center, The film affected me a great
deal, I found it to be a well done project, It contains both
strong iducational and consciousness-raising material for
men and women. It is a film that 1 fee) deserves attention
because it portrays a realistic and frightening view on the
increase of violence against women In our culture, 1 would
recommend that you take someone with you, as itis sure to

Gunned emotions

To the Editor:

‘After reading David Ross’ column, “Gunning for con-
tro},!" I would like to tell him 1 agree with him in part, 1 do.
fagrce there exists grave social problems, One docs get a
feeling that the social problems he so quietly hinted at
should have been listed. Yet, what is @ greater social pro-
blem than the elderly being robbed at gun point and subse-
quently killed? What is a greater social problem than the
thousands of victims each year from handguns? Surely
Unemployment and the recession are national problems,
Yet, these problems cannot be solved when the people who
ean contribute to these solutions are being decimated with
gun fire, Unless of course Mr. Ross feels shooting an
Unemployed worker or the reciplent of an entitlement pro:
‘gram helps solve the dual problems of unemployment and
the recession

In response (0 Mr. Ross’ statistical analysis, nations
Which have gun control have remarkably few deaths from
gun control, In 1979, sorry about the lack of current data,
While America was feeling under the weight of over 10,700
deaths from hand guns, Japan, a nation half the population
fof the US had 48 deaths due to hand guns. In that
same year England had eight and Germany 42, One may get
the Impression Mr. Ross enjoys twisting statistics to fit his
‘own rightwing ideology,

Equating the ban of hand guns to the prohibition of
leohol only introduces emotions and noise into the issue
The compleaity of prohibition and when it occurred had lit:
{le relevance to the hand gun issue more than half a century
later, The situations are different, The causes and. the
results are different, Only the emotionalisms are the same,
and those emotions fail 10 solve any of the problems
associated with hand gun usage

Mr, Ross condemned gun control leyistation as an over
simplified solution, If hie looks at his recommendations, or
more accurately lack of recommendations, he will see that
his solution was in fact the oversimplified method of deal-
ing with violent crimes and the usage of hand guns,

‘One final thought, Whenever right-wing thetoriticians
discuss hand gun control, they always use the eatch phrase,
“guns don't kill people; people do.’ Let us consider a
cidental deaths from guns inadvertently going off, And let
Us consider one gun taken away from one person saving one
life, Even two or three alive people must inherently be
Worth more than supporting archaic gun usage with

anachronistic ideology:
—Robert Martiniano

A call for courage

To the Editor:

Bondage is a fate common to Jews around the world for
senturies, This hasn't in today’s so called
‘modern’ world, Jews and held cap=
tive by oppressive forces around the world, You can't
change history but you can help protect them and usin the
future,

In the Soviet Union thousands of Jews are still being
persecuted and held captive against their will while you
are at keg parties and bars. they are behind prison walls in

laces like Siberia, Imprisoned only because of
their religious befiefs.
iashian Jews of Ethiopia ate kept in prison camps
ore than grass huts, Their only desire in life
is to leave Ethiopia and go to Israel to be free men and
practice their faith,

‘Another man's righteous feelings toward the oppressive
government of Nazi Germany led him to help save
thousands of people, most of them Hungarian Jews, Raoul
Wallenberg, a Lutheran from a wealthy Swedish family,
hhas spent half of his life in a Soviet prison camp only
because he cared enough to do something,

If you have the courage of your convictions, if you care
about your fellow man and what the future may hold for
you, in a world where Anti-Semitism has become a
threatening force, if you give a damn, come to the meeting
of the World Jewry Committee of JSC-Hillel on February
15, 1983 at 7:30p.m, at the JSC-Hillel office 3rd floor cam-
pus center,

Thank you for caring, see you there, For more info call:

FEBRUARY 8, 1983 () ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 13.

By Amy Kilgus

‘A national study on the quality of
graduate education in the United
States by the Conference Board of
the Associated Research Councils
rated SUNY Albany's German doc-
oral program among the top ten in
the United States,

The study rated $22 Ph.D, pro-
grams in nine humanities
disciplines; art history, classics,
English, French, German,
linguistics, music, philosophy, and
Spanish.

A criteria of 12 measures
“related to quality’? such as the size
‘of an institution's faculty and the
graduates’ success in finding jobs
Were used in the study,

The Conference Board of the
Associated Research Councils is
made up of the American Coun
lof Learned Societies, the American
Council on Education, the National
Research Council, and the Social
IScience Research Council,

Dr, Frederick Beharriell, pro:
fessor in the German Department,
noted that SUNYA has the only

X-rated opposition

GSPA offices transfer downtown

By Anthony Silber
DDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Th a move to consolidate the
branches of the newly formed
Rockefeller College of Public Af
fairs and Policy, the Graduate
Schoo! of Public Affairs has
relocated its headquarters to the
downtown Draper campus.

Since the beginning of this
semester the faculty and staff of the
GSPA, which includes the depart
ments of political science, public af-
fairs, and. public administration
have moved their offices and other
facilities to Milne Hall, Previously
the GSPA was located uptown bet-
ween the library and the Business
Administration building,

‘According to GSPA Acting Dean
Irene Lurie, the transfer was made
because of the recent creation of the
Rockefeller College and the need to
locate all the schools under its
auspices in one place. Rockefeller
College includes the School of
Public Affairs, the School of
Criminal Justice, and the School of
Social Welfare,

Chairman of the Political Science
department Alvin Magid, said,

J.V. Danes have winning weekend

By, Alan Somkin
TMP WRITER

This was a weekend Albany State junior varsity
basketbalThead coach Barry Cavanaugh and his team
will not soon forget,

They blew Schenectady Community College off
thelr home court with a resounding 106-64 victory Fri-
day night. The next night they returned home and
defeated Southern Vermont College 84-72.

‘The Schenectady game marked the fifth straight
road game for the J.V. Danes, After starting off the
roadtrip poorly, losing their first two games, they won
their last three, The victory over Vermont made it four
in a row overall, and’gaye Albany a 7-5 record,

‘There were so many pleasant things that I can say
about the team's play this weekend," said Cavanaugh,

Dur defense was very gqod when we needed i
They did allow 72 points to Yermont, but when the
game was on the line with six minutes remaining, the
defense stiffened up and only allowed (wo baskets the
rest of the way.

‘The rebounding was also very effective, Mike Ottati
(nicknamed the “White Moses’? by his teammates
because of his knack to get rebounds like rebounding
leader of the NBA Moses Malone) dominated the
boards, and when he needed help he got it from for-
wards Mike Cwirko and Jeff Geier.

Probably the best and most surprising aspect of
Albany's games this weekend was their foul shooting.
After having @ tough time from the foul line earlier in
the year, they stot 50 for 66 (76 percent) From the line

defense almost at will and built up a 40-25 lead by

Albany looked like they were still thinking about
Friday night's victory when they hit the floor against
Southern Vermont. They quickly found themselves

Cavanaugh brought in Doug Kilmer and Geler off
the bench, and they provided the spark the Danes
needed, Albany took their first lead, 22-21 with 9:32 re-

Albany built a 44-39 lead by halftime, Jones con-

game.

Women cagers lose heartbreaker to Cardinals

By Mark Levine

Tn the end, it came down to this: a shot
that probably shouldn't have gone in, did,
and a shot that probably should have gone
in, didn't, It was that kind of game for the
Albany State women's basketball team, as
they suffered a heartbreaking 75-73 defeat
to Plattsburgh State Friday night at Univer-
sity Gym.

With the score tied at 73 and 10 seconds
showing on the clock, the Cardinals' Merry
Ducatte unloaded a shot that appeared to
be from somewhere near downtown
‘Schenectady that hit nothing but net, giving
Platttsburgh the lead, Dane guard Rainy
Lesane then raced upcourt and ‘hit Jean
Pollock on the left baseline, The freshman
center's {0-footer was halfway through the
hoop before it popped out, and Plattsburgh
had a hard-fought 2-point win

“They did exactly what I told them to
defensively, ‘said Albany head coach Mari
Warmer, referring to the game-winning
shot, “I told them to make Plattsburgh
shoot from outside, She (Ducatte) only had
‘one basket and {wo foul shots before that
It was just a beautiful shot,"

Unfortunately for the Danes, the game
probably shouldn't have come down (o the
last 10 seconds, as they held a lead in dow
ble figures for a good part of the contest,

Albany opened up an 18-4 lead in the
opening 6 minutes, as Nancy Wunderlich
had the hot hand. The freshman forward
had eight of the first 18 points, including
three long jump shots, In addition to her
fine shooting, Wunderlich and Ronnie Pat-
{erson controlled the boards, and after a
layup by Diane Fernandes the Danes had a
35-18 lead with six minutes remaining in (he
half, But Plattsburgh came back with a full
court press and a fast break, In what was a
sign of things to come, Cardinal forward
Anne Slattery hit both ends of a I-and-1
from the foul line, narrowing the Albany
lead to 45-37 at halftime

Wunderlich led the Danes with 13 points
and seven rebounds in the first 20 minutes,
while Patterson and Rhea Edwards had
seven points cach, Paiterson also pulled
down five rebounds

After the game, Warner said the dif-

and their running game, “The second half
was typical Platisburgh; outside shooting

In the second hall the Danes came out of

Substantial faculty cuts suggested in Gov, Mario Cuomo's
1983-84 budget is a recommendation to charge students at
SUNY university centers higher tuition than students at
Other State U iversity institutions.

At SUNY-Binghamion, “with a national reputation as
an insticition of high quality,’ President Ctiftord Clark
hay been calling for a $250 increase over the $250 hike sug.
ested in the budget proposal, He claims that the increased
tuition, almost $0 percent higher than present tuition, could

$1,300 under the Cuomo budget, With the Clark differen:

and college students paying $1,300.

According 10 SUNY-Binghamton’s Vice President of
Administration Arthur Sinith, “Weare not eager 10 sce dif

systems of higher education," He added that it is one of
several options being considered in order to "shield the

that “ifit comes down to a choice between reducing quality

that this is “only one of a variety of possibilities aimed at

consequences less severe

higher tuition rate, the Void between the centers and the

the centers would not tose faculty where the colleges will,
Wilson said.

Students at university: centers would pay’ more than those in oiler SUNY schools,

Senate committee tables $300. hike

By Debbie Profets

For years, SUNY has been providing a cheap, high:
quality education, Now students may have to decide
Which of the two is more important,

During 4 University Senate Education Council meeting:
Wednesday, a tuition hike as high ay $300 was proposed
in an effort 10 preserve facully positions eliminated by
Gov. Mario Cuomo's budget. This would be in addition

{0 Cuomo’s proposed $425 tuition hike increase
Although the council voted to send the proposal back
to lis sponsor for further revisions, members have reacted

(oward the propoal with mixed emotions.

President Vincent O'Leary said I'm looking at tui
tion, In looking at tuition to save this place 1 wish we
didn't have 10 do this; 1 wish someone would give us the

money.”

number of 2,199!"faculty lines to be cut, Albany's share

Of this is 166 positions he said, but he added that this was
just-an estimate,

O'Leary added that the university currently has 136
vacancies, Combine thls number with the tentative 166
positions to be cut and O'Leary said “if everything stays
the same we'll be down 302 positions,

The cuts translate to a “13,7 percent reduction,"” he
figured. More specifically, this boils down to a loss of 100
faculty members

Education Council Chair William Hammond is spon:
Soring the resolution in draft stapes. He “urges the Prest-
dent to fake whatever measures are necessary (0 institute
al this campus an increase in tuition earmarked for the use
Of this campus of such magnitude ay may be necessary to

maintain quality

According 10 Hammond it hay not been determined
Whether to institute the increase as a tuition hike, which is
covered by financial assistance, or ay a fee, ineligible for

assistanive

O'Leary said, “thiy is @ difficult political position
and more will unfold each day, But,said O'Leary, he will

“The choice,’ stressed Hammond, ‘is either fire 166
staft members, of rise additional revenue through tui
tion.’ He emphasized the quesiton of what this campus.
can do for itself without outside

According to Hammond, th academic level is
up from previous years, It's in the interest of students to
‘go along with this proposal, he claimed, The issue is “pay
more and keep what you have now or pay less and get far
less!" for the money.

Hammond urged the committee to consider what the

university would be Uke without the cuts, “Reduced
number of programs, reduced number of majors and
minors, fewer courses, more closed courses, disillusioned
teachers, reduced library services and reduced bus ser-
Nives,!* He stressed that students must be willing to spend
a Jiiile more money in order to mainiain their education,

SA President Mike Corso refuted the "differential tule

tion,” saying *l speak adamanily against (he resolution.”
With differential (uition, said Corso, "We'll pay more
money (ai University centers) than other schools."

Corso siressed “integrity oF programs of this place are a
major concern fo students; It’s their education.” He also
explained that if the proposal is imposed as a fee, fees are
Hot covered by assistanice programs and are “very
detrimental!” 10 students, “Once we have one fee, we're
swamped with fees.”

However, Corso noted if’ the porposal was a tuition
hike, we're tilking of a 60 percent (inchiding Cuomo's)
tuition hike,’

The cuts translate to a 13.7

figured. This boils down to
