Education systems face
stringent budget cuts
By Cindy Chin
STAFF WRITER
It may become more difficult
to maintain academic integrity in
the future as universities
nationwide face sizable budget
cuts, educators say.
Spokespeople from the
University of California and
University of Michigan said the
higher education system will
have to deal with these economic
setbacks and try to accommodate
them as best they can.
“California’a deficit is about
$7 billion and the university
system will have up to $295
million in cuts in order to
maintain a quality system,” said
Ron Kolb, Director of News and
Public Affairs of the University.
of California.
Nearly 30 states have already
initiated significant cuts in their
1990-1991 budgets. In may
states these cuts have forced
institutions of higher education
to eliminate programs, reduce
the number of faculty and staff,
and to increase tuition, according
to the January 31 Higher
Education Advocate.
University officials ‘said they
do not see any relief form their
financial situation and anticipate
even more cuts in the future.
“The state of Massachusetts is
in terrible financial shape. Our
deficit is $ 875 million and we
anticipate large cuts in
administration,” said Walter
Littell, spokesperson for the
University of Massachusetts.
“Salaries have not been cut by
we also hayen’t been given raises
in 2 years. This is a heavy
burden on people,” Little said.
These fiscal problems may
make it more difficult for
college-bound students to attend
public universities,
“There is a $650 proposed
tuition increase for next year and
we're going to reduce overall
student. population by 5,500 over
the next 3 or 4 years,” Kolb said.
“These are our only options.”
“We have a sizable budget
problem and we’re trying to
work something out. No one can
say what’s going to happen at the
moment, said Wono Lee, spokes
person for the University of
Michigan.
“However, Lee said,” the
University does not expect a
tuition increase. “

Sunday night.
In addition to swastikas, the

“T was a little frightened.”
She added, “I was alone. I

Casualties treated
Eastern Saudi Arabia
(AP) Some of the first casualties of the
ground war arrived at Navy Fleet Hospital
Five late Sunday night by helicopter, bus
and on foot.
Allied officials have not released overall
casualty figures from the offensive, but
have said the figures were very low.
Marine Lance Cpl. Martin Wilcox, 24,
and another soldier were apparently the
first injured men to arrive at the hospital,
unloaded by stretcher from a Blackhawk
helicopter at 11:29pm.
Wilcox, of Seattle, arrived with his left
arm heavily bandaged from a bullet
wound he suffered while moving into
position to breach an Iraqi mine field.
Doctors took his vital signs, which were
all stable, and rolled a portable x-ray
machine to his stretcher. Pictures showed
the bullet had shattered the bone in the
upper part of his arm.
Bernstein honored
Jerusalem
(AP) Carrying a gas mask and a
conductor's baton, maestro Zubin Mehta
led a special concert in tribute to the late
American composer Leonard Bernstein,
who often performed in Israel.
Mehta led a chamber ensemble through
several of Bernstein's pieces, notably the
fanfare " America " from the 1957 score
for the Broadway musical "West Side
Story."
“Let us not detract from the reason we
are gathered here this evening: Lenny and
only Lenny," said Mehta, music director of
the Israeli Philharmonic.
Bernstein died in October. The Indian-
born Mehta, 54, was one of his proteges.
" This fountain of plenty has stopped,
but he has, thank God, left behind so much
for us to inherit, to learn from, to enjoy,"
Mehta said.

About 200 policemen moved into
Ramkhamhaeng University and dispersed
about 1000 students who had gathered for

Witness is indicted
Columbia, S.C.
(AP) Two state legislators prepared to
face a bribery trial in a case that has taken
a dramatic twist in recent days as the
prosecution's key witness was indicted on
drug charges.
Larry Blanding,37, and B.J.Gordon,58,
are among 14 current or former members
of the Legislature, four lobbyists and a
member of the state Highway
Commission indicted in connection with
the FBI sting dubbed Operation Lost
Trust.
The case took a new twist on Thursday
when Ron Cobb, an undercover FBI
informant, was indicted on two counts of
cocaine possession.
He represented a phony company set up
by the FBI to offer bribes to legislators for
their support of a bill to legalize betting
on horse and dog racing.
Cobb was expected to be the key
prosecution witness.
Arguments to be heard
Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Supreme Court yesterday agreed
to decide whether the anti-abortion group
Operation Rescue and its members should
be prevented from blocking access to nine
abortion clinics in Northern Virginia.
The Court said it will hear arguments
that a federal judge lacked the authority to
issue the injunction barring such activity.
USS. District Judge T.S. Ellis III of
Alexandria, Va., banned blockades at the
nine clinics after the National
Organization for Women asked him for a
more sweeping order covering all abortion
clinics in the metropolitan Washington

Ellis allowed Operation Rescue

other demonstrations at the clinics, as long
as they did not interfere with patients’
access.

Actions are defended
Rochester
After returning from a visit to Saudi
Arabia, an Islamic leader strongly
defended President Bush's actions in the
Persian Gulf.
"People ask me why I am so hard on
Saddam," said Imam Hassan Mubarrak
of Detroit. "Saddam gave me the
impression that he was a Muslim. (But)
“as a Muslim, he will go down as one of
the most foolish people that ever lived.”
Mubarrak said Bush was right to
mobilize ground forces after Saddam
ignored the noon(EST) Saturday
deadline for Iraqi withdrawl from
Kuwait. The Iraqi president's actions
dictated Bush's reaction, Mubarrak said.
Muslims should make it their duty to
defend their holy land from such "a
tyrant", he said. That's despite the fact
that Saddam identifies himself as a
Muslim.
"You have to stand for something or
you will fall for anything", Mubarrak
told a crowd of about 150 Muslims at the
Masjid-ul Taqwa, an Islamic mosque in
Rochester.

Greeks noted for community contributions
Fraternities bare
all to raise money
by Jillian Risberg
STAFF WRITER
On Thursday night at the
Lamppost Underground,
students gathered together to
watch Greeks Take It Off II.
Tau Epsilon Phi(TEP),
sponsored the event,
“Tt was a big success,” said
Howie Wolpoff, a member of
TEP who was also the chairman
and host of the event.
“This was a chance for the
Greeks to show: the community
that we don’t destroy everything
or do all bad...we do good,” he
said.
All the money raised went to
the American Cancer Society,
Wolpoff said.
“The Greeks always get a bad
tap and get blamed for
everything when there are other
people causing problems too,”
he said.
The idea for the Greeks Take
It Off came from the TEP
chapter at the University of
Maryland, Wolpoff said. “This
has been one of the biggest
events for Greeks so far this
year, the next one will be Greek
Week,” he said.
“TI organized this event by
regularly attending Inter-
Fraternity Council (IFC)
meetings and getting one
representative from each
fraternity,” Wolpoff said. “Each
guy practiced on his own, and
was given a list of rules for the
show,” he said.
“They couldn’t strip
completely, but they could go
down to.a G-string.”
“We received support from all
the Greeks for this event,” he
said. “Tau Epsilon Phi is
growing with each event we
organize, and we hope the rest of
the Greeks grow too.”
“This year we had video
screens, which made a big
difference towards the success
of the event,” he explained.
“There were screens placed all
over the Lamppost Underground,
so it was possible to see the
show from anywhere in the
room; as well as screens upstairs
in the Lamppost bar/restaurant,”
he said.
“This year there was also a lot
Jess pushing, and no furniture in
the room, so people couldn’t
stand on chairs to watch, they
could look at the video screens,”
Wolpoff said.
“There was a lot of cheering
and money stuck in guys
shorts,” he said. “The bouncers
were a great help, and they did a
lot of work.”
"This kind of event makes for
a strong Greek system, Albany is
Mike Concepcion of Delta Omicron Tau struts his stuff for the American Cancer Society during the second

have a long Greek life span,” he
said.
“We are here to do good, not
harm,” he said. “Greeks Take It
Off will hopefully continue each
year, and go even better.”
“T’d like to thank Tau Epsilon
Phi, they had a great idea, and
made this all possible,” said
Richie Falek of Pi Lambda Phi,
who won first place. “All the
money went to a good cause, the
American Cancer Society.”
“Tt was great to be able to
represent my fraternity. I would
do anything for them,” he said.
“This is just another example of
diversity within Pi Lam.”
“T'dalso like to thank my Dad,
because he got me involved in
weight lifting and dancing,”
Falek said.
“T didn’t go up there with the
intention of winning, it just
happened,” he said.
“T did this because the money
was going to the Cancer
Society,” he added.
Sean Robotham of Sigma Chi
won second place but was
unavailable for comment.
“I had a great time, and I
couldn’t have done it without my
choreographer Jack Daniels,”
said Evan McCaffery of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, who won third
place.
“A lot of work went to a great
cause, and it was good to see
such positive results,” said Dana

Herpes does not mean the end of the world

is apparently a
life sentence.’
Victims foresee a future of
enforced celibacy or at best a
sporadic and less-than-honest
love life in which any image of
themselves as “good” is wiped
out by transmitting this disease
to their sexual partner. And
because it hurts, and recurs, they
fear they will have a life of
endless and unpredictable
episodes of suffering. The final
blow, for women, is that the
virus will cause some ghastly
damage to their children as they
are born into this vale of tears.
Why, they wonder, doesn’t the
Health Service hand out bells
and a sign saying “UNCLEAN!”
to every victim as he or she
walks out the front door after
receiving this diagnosis?
Well, let’s take a good look at
this virus, and the disease it
causes. Herpes Simplex- a
member of a large viral family
which includes the virus for
chicken pox, cold sores, and
shingles, It lives inside cells,
unlike many infecting organisms
that simply float around freely in
body fluids. The genital herpes
virus under discussion here
invades and sets up
housekeeping in nerve cells.
Let’s consider one such cell. Its
nucleus is deep inside the pelvis
“THERE ARE THINGS
KNOWN AND
THINGS UNKNOWN
AND IN BETWEEN
ARE THE DOORS...””
-JIM MORRISON.
in a group of similar nuclei,
called a ganglion. A long off-
shoot from this nuclear area
courses toward the surface of the
body becoming a “nerve ending”
at the surface. This ending is the
point of entry of our Herpes
virus. It enters the cell off-shoot,
causes the initial painful rash,
then as the rash is healing, the
virus continues its journey to the
nuclear area where it settles
down forever. Yes, forever. It
can and occasionally does, make
the trip back to the surface
causing another rash, milder, of
genital herpes in the USA alone.
Some may not be aware that
they have it: men don’t have the
same miserable pain with it as
women and so may become
infected and not know that’s
what those few pimples were. Of
these 40 million people 80%
have at least one recurrence, and
fewer people have two, three or
more. Recurrences typically
happen every few months during
the first year, then dwindle away,
often to no recurrences at all.
In healthy people, especially
those whose immune systems are
seriously ill, and many
obstetricians choose to do a
Caesarean delivery in this case.
So here finally is something to
gnash one’s teeth about this
virus.
Now fora quick overview of
STD’s: sexually transmitted
diseases (STD’s) are currently
epidemic in the United States,
especially among people aged
15-34. They include genital
herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea,
genital warts, syphilis and AIDS.
Some of these can cost their
victims dearly in health, fertility

shorter duration and of course in
exactly the same spot as before -
the nerve cell after all hasn’t
moved to a new location. But
when the virus is “at home” deep
in the ganglion, it causes no
symptoms at all. Man and virus
can live together peacefully
forever.
Now what does this all mean
to a person who has acquired this
tather unwanted lodger in his
spinal ganglia? Let me spout a
few numbers at you; they can be
quite telling, and reassuring too
in this case. At the latest count,
there are 40 million people with
intact, the herpes virus never
does anything more than what I
described. No insidious damage
to organs, no long term
deterioration, no progressive
illness — nothing. They just live
there, like their cousins the
varicella (chicken pox) virus
which lives forever in its human
host, coming back to the surface
now and then as shingles.
The only cause for alarm with
Herpes is in the case of a
pregnant woman about to
deliver. If Herpes is present at
the surface of her body during
delivery, the infant may become
and, in the case of AIDS, life
itself. The least serious of these
is genital herpes which poses a
health hazard only to newborns.
The most serious is of course
AIDS. Genital warts, regarded
by many students as no more
than a nuisance, have in fact
been implicated in an increased
incidence of genital cancers.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea can
both be present and a threat to
fertility while producing few or
even no symptoms.
The development of any of the
following symptoms,
particularly if you have a new
partner, should send you to the
University Health Center for
diagnosis and treatment:
abnormal discharge, painful
urination, sores or blisters on
genitals, abnormal monthly
bleeding, painful intercourse.
Come in even if the symptom
goes away, as the disease may
have moved into a ‘silent’ stage.
There is evidence that the
AIDS virus is present in many
more young heterosexuals than
was predicted several years ago.
These people are not aware that
they are infected and may be
transmitting AIDS unknowingly.
Certainly, if anyone thinks they
may have had sexual contact
with a bisexual person or
someone with an IV-drug-use
background, he or she should be
tested for the HIV virus, as there
are now drugs that significantly
prolong life and health in
infected people.
Latex condoms and
diaphragms with spermicide
offer the best protection against
STD’s. Oral sex does not protect
you. Some people feel they can
‘tell’ when a prospective partner
is a safe bet to be free of STD’s,
but a wholesome, clean cut and
honest manner is not included on
the list of ‘safe-sex’ guidelines.
Know your partner(s) and the
fewer you have, the safer you
are.

USS. officials said there were
“flurries of speculation” during
the day that the Soviets might
present a reworked version of
their peace initiative at the
United Nations, but a Monday
afternoon session ended with no
concrete results.
The report of the withdrawal
order came as the coalition was
marking considerable success in
its ground assault to oust Iraqi
occupiers from Kuwait. Bush
called Gen. Norman
Schwarzkopf, the Desert Storm
commander, to praise the early
battleground victories.
The stream of good news from
the battlefield was broken by
word from Saudi Arabia that the
Iraqi Scud missile had hit a U.S.
military barracks in Dhahran.

S.C. “And now that the ground
war has started they’re coming
out of hiding and starting to
move.”
Allied bombers and attack
helicopters roamed ahead of
advancing coalition armies,
destroying armor and artillery in
southern Iraq and Kuwait, the
pilots said.
Clouds, hazy weather and the
blanket of black smoke hanging
from burning oil wells in Kuwait
has created some of the most
dangerous flying since the war
began, pilots said.
Many pilots had to fly low to
strike the tanks, exposing
themselves to Iraqi anti-aircraft
fire.
“What made it one of the
scariest missions I’ve had yet is
because I just felt rapped under
there with nowhere to go,” said
Capt. Tony Basile, 35, of
Syracuse, N.Y. “We were as
good a target as-they were and
they were shooting at us.”
Although the pilots targeted
Republican Guard positions, they
could not confirm the tanks they
hit belonged to the Guard, Iraq’s
best-trained units. Also, officers
at the U.S. command in Riyadh
have said throughout the war that
initial pilot damage reports often
prove imprecise.
“My impression of it is there
has been a little more movement
today (Monday),” said Jernigan,
who noted his F-16A fighter-
bomber was nearly hit by an
Iraqi missile in southern Iraq.
Jernigan said the allies
command has been putting the
majority of its fighter aircraft
into areas in front of the battle in
attempts to minimize allied
casualties in upcoming ground
battles.
Maj. Jay Wells, 40, of Dalton,
Ga., the assistant operations
officer of the 336th Tactical
Fighter Squadron, said he flew
his F-15E fighter-bomber against
a column of Iraqi tanks.
“After we dropped the first
bomb on the lead tank we came
back around. All the rest of the
guys (tank crews) jumped out
and ran away,” he said. “We
damaged some and destroyed
some.”
Early yesterday, other fighters
attacked scores of moving tanks

border,

The SUNYA Chess Club won the Class
A Prize in the United States Amateur
Team Eastern Championship Annual
Tournament held in Somerset, New
Jersey, over President’s Day weekend
The tournament is the largest chess
event held in the U.S. every year and is
open to all, including all colleges. “There
were over 200 teams there,” said SUNYA
Chess Club President Jeremy Larson,
The SUNYA Chess Club is also part of

In the first round, Larsen said, the
teams which play each other are randomly

this round, teams of similar standing are
paired and go on to play each other. The
games are timed and each game lasts
approximately four hours.
The SUNYA Chess Club won four
matches out of six.
Team player Menoscal commented
“The competition was pretty tough since
there was large turnout. We beat a top-

for us; winning that and performing
solidly for the rest of the games got us the
win.”

(CPSO Sensational bathroom-
wall lists of men accused of
crimes against women have not
reappeared since winter break,
lobservers at the two schools
galvanized by the lists last term
report.
But at least one therapist
predicts women at other
campuses may start similar lists
in the future.
“T think that as publicity about
this gets out, women at other
campuses may try it,” said
Valerie Mantecon, a licensed
therapist specializing in marriage
and family issues in Costa Mesa,
4 |California.
In November, students at
‘Brown University in Rhode
Island discovered the names of
up to 30 men, grouped under the
heading of men who committed
rape, had been written -
apparently by their victims - on
ithe wall of a campus bathroom.
As soon as custodians erased the
names, someone returned to
write them on the wall again.
In December, a group calling
itself the Women’s Army posted
a similar list on the wall of a
library bathroom at the
University of Pennsylvania.
No one at either university has
been caught.
The lists, of course, sparked
frantic debates about the number
of unreported rapes that may be
committed at colleges and about
the fairness of ruining someone’s
reputation by simply writing his
name - perhaps without cause-
ona wall.
Officials at both schools
complained that, because the
lists’ authors remained
anonymous, the schools could
not take action against them or
accused men.
However, the authors may
have been seeking something
besides revenge, Mantecon
Pas p= ee a a ea

speculated.
“They may have been trying to)
say ‘I’m not going to be
ignored,’” Mantecon said. “It
may have helped their sense of
security.”

administrators to a lot of
insecurity, fear and anger among}
some of their female students.

Gulf War causes people to return to churches
By Milton Keene
The next few weeks and
months will witness a return to
churches and synagogues
throughout America. People who
are rarely seen in the soft light
filtering through stained-glass
windows will be seen there.
Why? There’s a war going on
in the Middle East that reaches
into all our lives. War has a way
of stripping us of many of the
these realities we reach out for
something beyond ourselves and
our own resources.
It’s not merely that we want
God on our side; it’s something
deeper — the cry of the human
soul standing naked, stripped of
all its comfortable illusions: that
life goes on and on, and
tomorrow will come, and we’re
in complete control of our lives.
It’s the birthright of the young
a warm, reassuring thought when
you're young. Death is a reality
for old people only, those who
have lived their lives.
But those young men and
women in Saudi Arabia can no
longer wrap themselves in this
comforter. So they reach out to
God with whatever faith they can
find in themselves and each
other.
of a prayer for help. For some it
is a kind of penitent apology
like, “Sorry God, but I’ve
overlooked you. Please don’t
overlook me!” For others it is an
affirmation that there is
something greater than all that is
going on or will ever go
on.,.something greater than
anything that can happen.
Crises such as war reveal us to
ourselves as we are, with all our
comfortable assumptions swept
aside. And when reality comes
crashing in and all our symbols
of security tremble and all our
comfortable illusions evaporate,
we do what human beings in all
ages have done — we call upon
God.

popular illusions that draw us to think they are invulnerable —
away from our deepest religious
For some it comes in the form bravado,
pretenses and
values.
When the illusions vanish, we
find ourselves reaching out for
what we call God. Take those
young airmen from the Army’s
82nd Airborne Division of Fort
Bragg, N.C., now quartered
somewhere in Saudi Arabia.
Jeff Houston, the unit’s
chaplain, says, “This is more like
a revival than a war...We have
four worship services each and
every day...averaging over 160.
«Last Sunday we had 12
professions of faith; the Sunday
before we had 18.”
Many of these young pilots
now have flown sorties over
Baghdad in the midst of the
thunder and lightning of missiles
and anti-aircraft fire. Some of
them may not have returned
from their assignments.
War confronts us with realities
that we lose sight of amid the
pleasant illusions of everyday
life. When we’re obliged to face |

The Replacements....All Shook Out?
After eleven years, the
Replacements, America’s hardest
working band, may call it quits. Then
again, they may not. Over the past
few years the band with the
illustrious drinking career toned
down and tuned up. Now
singer /songwriter Paul Westerberg
has even straightened out. Can they
survive the changes? Your guess is as
good as theirs. Bassist Tommy Stinson
gave ASPECTS the whole shakedown.
Raymond Rogers
There's been a lot of questions about a
Replacements breakup in the music press
over the past few months- has that been
resolved?
We went through a period where it
was a kind of hard question to
answer: I think that Paul really at one
point this year didn’t want to tour
anymore. I think he was going
through some stuff, but he realized
that he'd like to play again and so he
called me up, and we just said let’s
tour. It was as easy as that.
What was he going through?
Just some personal problems. He
had a drinking problem that kind of
made him scared, he wasn’t sure he
could do it, I think. And now he’s
been doing it without drinking, so I
think he likes to play again.
Are you in better spirits these days?
We seem to be happy. We're having
fun doing what we’re doing right
now, and to me that’s all we can be
asked for. We’ve enjoyed playing,
we're having a swingin’-ass time.
The Replacements seem to continually
be‘on the verge of greater things, but
never really make it. That must be
frustrating.
We've been together about eleven
years. Some of the stress is mainly
just having records come out and
being told they’re gonna work like
hell to make them fly and then they
don’t fly, that’s one of the letdowns.
One of the other letdowns is doing a
tour like Tom Petty. For us that was
bad, it didn’t work real good for band
morale, just because of the situation.
We didn’t really know what we were
getting into and we thought it was a
good idea. We got into it, started
warming him up in front of his fans
who didn’t appreciate us, and that
got to be a little hard on us. Ya know,
we're used to playing in front of our
own fans, who respond and listen to
our songs, so it was very
disheartening. We just gave up. By
the end of the tour, it almost felt like
“Why even be in a band?”
time ago, and maybe took a little
more professional attitude towards it,
it might have helped a lot, but at the
time, ya know, we thought that was
bullshit, we thought that was wrong.
I think were right then. But I also
think we were self-destructive, and
the only thing we did was hurt
ourselves, and it really showed at the
end of that Petty tour, because Paul
flipped out and didn’t want to do
anything, or certainly with us
anyway. So it’s just one of those
things, ya know.
Tommy Stinson on Paul Westerberg: "He had a drinking
problem that kind of made him scared...but now I think he
likes to play again”
Do you think the records didn't fly
because the record company wasn't doing
the job?
No, I don’t think it’s that, it has a
lot to do with us musically, and the
business in general. We haven’t been
known to kiss enough ass to make
this fly, and we don’t wanna, ya
know. It takes a lot of ass-kissing, it
takes a lot of bending of your own
personal rules, and we don’t want to
do that stuff. So it’s kind of the
pressures of wanting something, but
not willing to give up the things you
appreciate to get it. It’s almost a
catch-22.
What are some of those things that you
have to give up to get that?
I don’t really know, because we've
just kind of not opened our minds to
even think about it. Certainly if we
had straightened out our act a long
photo by Teru Kuwayama
But things are better now?
Right now we’re having more fun
than we’ve had before. This would
really have sucked if we'd gotten out
here, and decided it was fun, if we
would have realized ‘Oh maybe we
shouldn't have done this,’ you know.
I think right now that we're out here
it’s like ‘Yeah, this is a pretty good
idea.’
So, we'll expect more Replacement
records, then?
I wouldn’t expect that. I would just
expect to see us play tomorrow night.
That's all I’d expect.
Do you think you might not be making
records?
I really don’t know. It’s kind of a
question that’s both annoying and
just kind of not answerable.
Private Plain Goes Public and
Albany has a burgeoning music
scene that can be observed by the
casual club-goer. There are only a few
clubs that have live music on a
regular basis, and almost all of them
are 21-and-over clubs. This leaves a
large population of students who like
to see bands are denied access. All
ages nights are very rare. “It’s
upsetting that a lot of the people who
really like the music can’t go out and
see a band,” says Eric Katz, bassist for
Private Plain. “In the end, it’s the real
fans that lose.”
Jodi Shapiro
Private Plain is the one local band
that is starting to tour the country, one
city at a time. Their first EP,
Godwatching, was recently released
and has been garnering critical kudos
from local press, even appearing on
some critics’ year-end top ten lists.
From the melodic “Garfield Road” to
the pensive “Godwatching,” it’s no
wonder that the twining guitars and
unconventional melodies have caught
the public’s attention. Hopefully, by
touring, they will broaden their fan
base.
The band itself is relatively young
(about five months), yet their songs
are very tight. It seems like the
members were meant to play together.
Twins Jim (guitar/vocals) and
Joe(drums and vocals) Crawley admit
that they have a telepathic link. Eric
and second guitarist/vocalist Jim
Caringi admit to bumping into each
other on stage a lot. Fans admit that
their live show is a must-see,
“What you hear on the CD is what
you hear live,” says Joe. “We probably
have a little more energy, but
basically, it’s the same.” The first time
I saw Private Plain was in the live
studio of WCDB, for a Monday night
Local Show. They played acoustically
for about an hour, performing songs
that are on Godwatching, but at the
time were freshly written. They
seemed a little nervous and not used
to playing with each other, still feeling
each other out style-wise. “It didn’t
take long to get used to each other,”
says Joe. “It happened pretty fast.”
“We got used to collaborating on
songs,” adds Jim Caringi. “Even
songs that came in already written got
changed because the chemistry was
different.” Now, after countless
shows, they’ve gotten more confident
What's changed now that Paul's gone
sober?
Well, we can play a whole set now
and that’s about it. We’re still the
same fucking band. I thought ‘Oh,
now he’s straight, what’s this gonna
be like, is this gonna be boring to
play?’ And the misconception is just
your own fear of it. We got out there
and played, and we've been playing
for six weeks and Paul’s the same guy
he’s always been, it’s just he can
stand up longer and he’s a little
healthier. But the shows are still
haphazard most of the time.
Do you still get complaints from fans
who grew up on the earlier and harder
Replacements music?
We're getting some flak, but to me
it’s like, they said that for three
records; and it’s like ‘Grow up.’
We're changing, we’re evolving
around ourselves, it’s not like any one
thing makes you change. Paul’s
always written the songs, and we’ve
always gone with the songs Paul has
written. The songs he wrote for this
record, All Shook Down, some of them
didn’t include all of us. Some of them
were quieter than others, half of them
could have been fuckin’ loud rock
tunes and it would have been really
boring to make for him and probably
for the rest of us because we’ve done
that with his songs. It was interesting
to go this way, and I certainly like it.
How did the rest of the band react to
not playing on some of the tracks?
I think the only one it really made
feel weird is Chris (Mars, drummer).
Chris could not deal with having
some other drummer play his part,
which is where he shot his own foot
off in my book. To me that would not
be a problem — Paul played bass on
half the songs on this record, that’s a
little more embarrassing than having
a fucking pro come in, having some
fucking guitar player play it. But it’s
the whole thing. The camaraderie in
the band was shot at that time. Chris
was not involved anymore. Paul
started the record and then I came
and joined him, and I knew what was
going down, we talked about it right
before. It was like, ‘Yeah, whatever it
takes to make a good record, let’s do
it
mMational
with their style, more comfortable
with each other, tight enough to take
the show out of Albany and onto the
road.
“Getting out of Albany is the main
thing right now. We've got
confirmations from Boston to Dayton,
Ohio,” says Jim Crawley. Perhaps a
national tour will increase the
momentum the record has gained
through college radio air-play. The
band hopes to begin the tour
sometime this spring, including
shows in New York and Cleveland.
If you aren’t old enough to have
seen them at the QE2, or missed them
at Godfrey’s, you can catch them at
Page Hall on the 27th of February
with Big Barn Burning and Home.
Tickets are $5, and it’s an all ages
show. See them now and you can say
you saw them when.

My Life and Times With a
Drunken Pediophile
As a roommate, one often finds
himself placed in the odious position
of pseudo-parent. Or, in my case, a
warden charged with the impossible
task of keeping an eye on an
uncooperative convict. You don’t
know my roommate? Let me tell you
about him, and the worry he causes
me. I have ulcers because of him...
David Cunningham
My roommate is a notorious
incompetent and _ borderline
pediophile, with a savage drinking
problem and a taste for lady’s chiffon
frill undergarments, but plays a
mean game of canasta, and never,
ever leaves the door unlocked —
unless of course he’s on a real bender,
has misplaced his key, or. merely
forgets. I came home and found the
door unlocked. What was I to
assume? I called out his name, but
received no reply. Because I’m a
sensitive and mature person I began
to worry. Wouldn’t you? Just a few
tikely scenarios came to mind...
Perhaps he'd been caught-up in a
drag net instituted by some ultra-
secret, urban police death-squad
randomly sweeping the
neighborhood for incorrigible
reprobates and loiterers! I could live
with that — albeit with a modicum of
guilt. But what if it was worse?
Maybe white slavers had bagged
him and sold him to giant ebony
Nubians. I pictured him languishing
in some seraglio, forced into a
submissive position, prey to the
rough machinations of some dusky,
vulgar pasha with a taste for tender
aged white meat; but no, the little
degenerate would enjoy that.
More likely he was all liquored up
and hit by a bus, reeling across some
busy intersection on his way to that
damn ice cream parlor he habituates.
His claim that it’s staffed with fey
and nubile colleens able to predict
the future is mystic rot — an
indulgence he banters about in
defense of his reprehensible carnal
predilections.
Perchance his sick and diseased
heart had finally given out after
climbing the five flights of stairs
leading-up to our apartment. I would
probably find him later, wedged
between the wall and radiator —
where he had crawled like some
animal to expire in peace. What a
burden, even in death! I would have
to bag him up, drag him down the
back stairwell, and single handedly
hoist him (with my bad back!) into
the dumpster.
Or, even likelier, driven mad by the
coy flirtations of some Lolita, he’d
been forced to purchase the affections
of a common street tart. And ina
bizarre bid for infamy he had blown
her brains out, and then his own. I'd
probably find him buck naked,
buried under a corpulent mountain
of varicose flesh, his face buried
under two giant, flabby mammaries,
happy at last, permanently dreaming
of prepubescent rose-buds....
My colorful, yet anxious,
speculation was interrupted by my
roommate's sudden appearance.
“Where have you been,” I
demanded, “I’ve been worried sick! I
can’t always be worrying about your
safety! Please, try and be on time, or
have the decency to call! After all, I’m
a sick man...” Now do you see what I
have to deal with? A full ten minutes
late! And no call, no note, the
insensitivity is maddening.
Easy, right? Come on up to the ASP office (CC 323)
with your answer no later than the 6th. Leave your
name, number, and a good time to reach you on the
'Spects desk if no one's around. Come up early -- they
go real fast. Good luck, and 'Spects will see you there!
Just a friendly reminder: 19 days until St. Patrick's
day (start lining up now for those drink specials --

Sting
The Soul Cages
A&M Records
Sting, formerly the Police’s front
man, was having some trouble
writing lyrics for what would become
his third solo release, The Soul Cages.
He had spent 1988 touring in support
of ...Nothing Like the Sun, climaxing
with his playing concerts in support
of the human rights organization
Amnesty International.
Rather than take the traditional pop
star route and relax for six months
before beginning to write lyrics for his
next album, Sting kept busy. He
starred in a remake of The Three Penny
Opera on Broadway, and campaigned
to help save the rain forest. All the
while, though, he refrained from what
he does best — writing and recording,
music.
In interviews he has said that the
new lyrics weren't flowing because he
hadn’t had time to properly mourn
the death of both his parents in 1987.
However, when he sat back and
thought of his earliest childhood
memory, that of “a great big bloody
ship,” the lyrics flowed, writing
themselves in a matter of weeks, to
join the music which had come much
easier, and earlier, in the writing
process. e
Much as with his last album, 1987’s
.. Nothing Like the Sun, Sting has
released an all-too-poppy tune, “All
this Time,” as the first single,
attempting to appeal to the top 40
crowd. As with the last song of this
vein, “We'll Be Together,” the attempt
fails. Yes, the song does offer more
than your standard New Kids and
Whitney fare, but it belies the album’s
Temaining tracks, with their jazzy-pop
sound (fusion doesn’t quite fit), for
lack of a better name.
This new work still features the
horns and keyboards which have
become a Sting staple on his post-
Police releases. Branford Marsalis and
Kenny Kirkland contribute their
saxophone and keyboards,
respectively, setting the mood for
what can only be called a concept
album (save “All this Time”). The
lyrics focus strongly on Sting’s youth
in Newcastle, England, growing up as
the son of a blue collar worker, the sea
within his sight. Marked by the
music’s smoothness, the lyrics again
reveal Sting’s somber side, featuring
industrial accidents, a son wishing to
bury his father at sea, unrequited
love, an elegy for his father, and, in
two songs, a ship which could carry
his father and he to a place “far away
from this town.”
Add to all of this former E-Streeter
David Sancious (also on keyboards),
and what you have is an album that,
although the worst of Sting’s three
solo releases, is still miles better than
anything else out there. That is, unless
of course, mindless pop blather is
what _ pleases

Swastikas are disgusting.
So are racial slurs, sexist statements, and all the
other garbage that a select few insist on littering
this campus with.
Sunday night, swastikas were found scrawled on
the door of the Hillel office in the Campus Center.
One can only wonder if the messengers of this
symbol really comprehend what it stood for during
the 1940's. Not only did 6 million Jews die under
Hitler's use of the swastika, but millions of
European Christians and a countless number of
Americans. The swastika should conjure up
haunting memories for all people. It is not an anti-
Jewish reminder...it is anti-people.
This kind of hatred is so very contrary to what
we as students should be working towards. The
world is a scary place, full of injustice. As young
people, the only hope for change lies within each
and every one of us. Our parents grew up in a
hateful world, and unless we work to change
things, our children will as well. It is every
person's responsibility to try and rid the of
prejudice. This can only be achieved by starting
with yourself, and changing your own attitudes.
People come in more than one color, there are
many different kinds of worship, and someone has
to be a man and someone has to be a woman.
Different does not mean better or worse...it just
means different.
The time to change is now. What better place to
try and accept new ideas than at SUNY Albany,
one of the most diverse campuses around.
Which brings us to World Week X, which is
coming to campus next week. In the past years,
World Week has dealt with topics such as world
hunger, children of the world, South Africa and
Central America. This year, World Week is
devoting itself to "Creating a Just World
Community." Just has to do with tolerance;
accepting the differences in people and learning to
appreciate all they have to offer.
We can all learn from each other. Each of us
was brought up in a unique environment. While
shelling out money for a college education,
wouldn't it be wise to gain some REAL
knowledge, the kind that only comes from
exposure and experience.
Go to some of the World Week programs.
Check out the Latin American film festival, even
if you're not a Latino. Listen in on "Confronting
Racism on the College Campus"(Thursday, 12pm,
Campus Center Assembly Hall). Sample some
food from another country. Do anything to expose
yourself to a way of life foreign from your own.
Since the start of the Persian Gulf war, people
have been talking about peace, waving American
flags, and tying yellow ribbons, anywhere they
can. What does all this mean if you slander your
Jewish neighbors, belittle the African American
community and show no respect for anyone that is
not "your kind." Here's a news flash for you...we
are all the same kind, the human kind that is, and
believing that one group of people are lower than
another is the worst possible ignorance.

\
nergy research hampered by war
A recent letter to the editor entitled “War for oil
justified,” illustrates the notion that people have been
jumping to conclusions a bit too hastily these days. What
seems more likely is that this war in Iraq is actually quite
unjustifiable. In addition, this decision to go to war
demonstrates a lack of truly effective and intelligently
thought-out foreign policy, an attribute about which the
United States has not been able to boast for some time
now.
The author of the letter proclaimed, in a rather pedantic
tone, that all the countless protesters across the country
are in actuality undermining the very democracy and
economic structure that allows them this “luxury” of
Robert MacDougall
protest. He said than “in forsaking the economic structure
that makes their protests possible, the anti-war protestors
are biting the hand that feeds them,” Mr Dennis might be
a bit surprised to discover that wealthy countries like the
U.S. do not hold a monopoly on political protest, and in
fact, the most fervent demonstrations seem to occur more
typically in second and third world nations.
Besides, the conscientious activists (not the people
who sport tie-dyes and join in a rally for the sake of
bandwagoning) aren’t foresaking anybody’s economic
structure. What they are trying to do is affect some sort of
sensible, progressive change. The author of “War for oil
justified” holds that the current administration, via its
economic policies, is trying to educate these “silly anti-
war hooligans.” Now there’s an amusing bit of dark
humor. Education is hardly the correct word. Looking at
the current economic strategies and energy policies, it is
much more accurate to say that the American public is
being de-educated.
‘President Bush, in keeping with the ideologies set
down by Reaganomics, has continued to rely too heavily
on oil as the all-America panacea. Due to terribly myopic
policy making, once again American manufacturers are
producing automobiles with mpg ratings in the late teens,
Furthermore, Bush has done nothing to bolster funding
for alternative and renewable energy research, funding
was reduced to a trickle shortly after President Reagan’s
innauguration. So that’s the lesson that will educate those
crazy protestors, and every other American as
well...scary!
Mr. Dennis implied that the machine of democracy
would grind to a screeching halt if our oil supplies were
somehow cut off. Whether that statement is true or not,
one fact is known, it is that global oil supplies will be
gone within the next forty years. So does this mean that
the world’s democracies will tumble into ruin, anarchy
will rise up to be the “new order” of the day? Surely, the
answer to that question is, we all hope not. In order to
make the transition from a primarily petroleum-based
infra-structure to one powered by other means, all
illusions must be recognized, and people must come to
terms with the hard reality of the situation. One of these
illusions is the idea that world oil supplies are somehow
rejuvinating themselves, that the oil problem is going
away. Please, do not be fooled, read the latest data on the
subject, better yet take Environmental Physics here at the
university. Naturally occuring fossil fuels will be “nada”
in our lifetimes.
Another popular illusion we are currently living under
is the justification for the goings on in the gulf. Mr.
Dennis says to “ignore the inherent violations of
international law, human rights, and the imbalance of
power in the Middle East due to Iraq’s conquest of
Kuwait,” so as to facilitate a better understanding of what
is happening over there. He says that the U.S. is still
justified to take military action in order to preserve our
interests. To preserve our interests, to insure that we
maintain a constant supply of oil, whether we need that
oil or not. Again we see this intrinsic relationship
between oil and democracy, a particularly disquieting
concept if we remember that oil is in dangerously finite
supply. The fact is that we don’t have to pretend that all
these infringements on human rights have been going on
all the while Nicaragua, Northern Ireland, Lebanon,
South Africa, and even right here at home, yet President
Bush remained idle. Now, however, due to some very
poor decisions concerning energy policy in the past, Bush
has been prompted into action in a manner that is,
frankly, quite unbecoming of his usual passivity.
Totally inept at any kind of domestic policy, or rather
lack one at all; Bush has found his old forte. Perhaps
reminding him of the old days, heading the C.I.A.,
George is in his element once again - overseeing the great
“liberation. of Kuwait.” So now, because of President
Reagan’s careless butchering of alternative energy
tesearch, and Bush’s continuing with that ideology, there
are half a million Americans at war. They’re fighting so
that we might drive our muscle cars and continue to take
the light switch and thermostat dial for granted...a little
while longer,
We'll never know if the economic sanctions might
have worked. Iraq was effectively cut off from the rest of
the world, Nothing went in or came out without our ok.
All funds and investments around the globe were frozen,
it was the world’s most exhaustive sanctioning program
to date. An impatient Cabinet and a president with an
apparent over zealousness to go to war, however, saw fit
to end these sanctions after only about six months. Now
we have politicians like Senator Dan Burton (R) Indiana,
Suggesting that we use a few strategic nuclear weapons,
“if they save even one American life.” Didn’t we learn
anything from the aftermath of Nagasaki and Hiroshima?
Human rights anybody?
Speaking of human rights, let us recall for a moment
how our leaders turned a deaf ear on the people in those
countries mentioned earlier when they asked for our help.
Also, let’s not forget the way we rose quickly to the
challenge when Kuwait asked our aid. There had to be
something in it for us. Even if we don’t need oil right
now, our dependency has assured us that we will. It waS
“in our interest” to act as we did. This “new world order”
everybody has been ranting about sounds like it will
make this planet into a pretty neat place to live. The
golden edict will read: HELP NOT OTHERS, LEST
THERE BE SOMETHING IN IT FOR THEE.
Remember: love the troops, hate the war!

Division I still possible
To the Editor:
Supporters of a university move to Division I
competition should not be dissuaded by President
Swygert’s recent decision not to pursue recognition this
year. While this is a temporary setback to the proposal, it
is a necessary one.
As Student Body President, I have supported a
Division I move since first hearing of the proposal last
March, In April, the University Senate, by a narrow
margin, decided to approve a proposal to conduct a one-
year fiscal impact study. Now that this study is near
completion, it is necessary to make sure that when it is
released, it is done so in the most fair environment
possible.
The new regulations imposed by the NCAA, coupled
with the University’s current financial situation (due, in
part, to the unmitigated disaster that Mario Cuomo is
leading the SUNY system towards), have biased today’s
environment against moving to a Division I program.
One more year of study may give the time needed to
create a brighter backdrop on the whole question,

Although practically all SUNY Albany students have

There is a valuable opportunity for change to occur
with the Student Health Advisory Committee, which will
be holding its first meeting this week. As a member of
this closed committee, I hold many ideas about things I’d
like to see done, but to effectively represent the student
body as a whole, I need their input.
So, if you have any comments, ideas or suggestions as
to what can be changed, or for that matter, what is
positive about the Health Center, please drop a line in
my box in the SA office, which is located in CC 116.

Funding clarification
To the Editor:
I would like to clear up any recent confusion there has
been on the allocating of money to new groups by
Central Council. Just because a group is recognized by
the Student Association does not mean that we endorse
or support that group in any way. The same holds true if
Central Council funds a student group. Just because a
group is funded by S.A. it does not mean that we
implicitly or explicitly endorse them or support their
views.
The reason we, Central Council, decide to fund a group
is based on the SUNY Board of Trustees policy of 1976
regarding the use of Student Activity Fees. As long as the
group is educational to the campus community, among
other things, we can, and I believe do, have an obligation
to fund the group. That is what the final decision is based
on. Whether or not the group is beneficial to the campus
community, regardless of what “side” they take. In
addition, each group is based on its own merits, not
whether another group got funding.
One perfect example of this is last year, Central
Council gave the Pro-Choice Committee funding. Later
on in the year, we funded a Students for Life group. Now
just because we funded these two groups does not mean
that we endorse or support them politically in any way.
The funding was based on the individual merits of each
group.
In the past few weeks, Central Council has made some
controversial decisions on the funding (or non-funding)
of groups. Please keep in mind why we made those
decisions before you react.
If you have any questions, you can reach me or the
Central Council Vice Chair, Judie Zuckerman, in CC 116
at 442-5640.

Central Council Chair
Ideology is inconsistent
To the Editor:
Over the last few months, Americans have become
increasingly aware of the atrocities which were
committed by the Iraqi government against the Kurdish
minority of that country. As a matter of fact, George
Bush used this fact as one of the justifications to declare
war on Iraq.
Ironically enough, there are some details which we
don’t hear about. For example, Turkey, a country which
has ratified the European Convention on Human Rights,
has recently initiated a crack down on their Kurdish
citizens. It is important to understand that we are
currently utilizing Turkish air bases to launch Operation
Desert Storm. This is inherently unfair.
Specifically, over the last few weeks, there have been
numerous reports of torture, and extralegal executions of
Kurds who are involved in the Kurdish Workers Party.
Under the Emergency Legislation which the Turkish
government is currently operating under, all provisions of
their legal code which protect human rights were
suspended, People suspected of having involvement with
the Kurdish Worker’s Party can be detained for thirty
days with out being formally charged with the offense.
This detention takes place incommunicato without
medical, or legal aid.
Amnesty International is a non-partisan, apolitical
organization which is concerned solely with the
preservation of human rights. The situation in Turkey is
yet another example of selective concern about human
tights by our country. That is why individuals must get
involved in the struggle for justice for all people,
regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual preference, or
political ideology. If you’d like to get involved and make
a difference, Amnesty International meets every Monday,
at 8:00, in BA 210. If you'd like more information, come
to our meeting and get the WHOLE story.

Vandals will be penalized
To the Editor:
Upon returning from a relaxing , informative, retreat
members of Hillel come back to find disturbing graffiti
on program flyers that were hanging on the door of the
Hillel office ( campus Center 320). The content of the
graffiti was very upsetting. There were several swastikas
and slogans,such as “over oil ?” and “scud fever “. Upon
seeing the vandalism the unsuspecting individual, who
first found it, immediately reported this unprovoked
incident to the University Police.
This vandalism is definitely a by-product of the war in
the Gulf. Hillel’s position on the war is of full support of
all the allied forces, Israel, and to the innocent civilians
in the Gulf region. We are hoping for a peaceful and swift
resolution to this crises.
WE feel that it is time for people to be aware that these
atrocities will not be overlooked and all means of
investigation will be used to find the cowardly vandals.
On a campus, such as ours, which has a committee for
creating a Just Community these actions are deplorable
and will not be tolerated, We have been in contact with
Campus Life . Student Association, Residential Life, and
many campus administrators, to insure that action will be
taken to insure that Jews, as a minority, will not continue
to be the object of the ignorant displays by individuals
who feel it is their placed to pass judgement on others.
In further response, Hillel in conjunction with, the
multi-cultural Awareness Program, and the Coalition for
a Just Community will be holding a candle-light vigil
tonight (Tuesday, February 26th) at 7:30 by the small
Fountain. Any other groups that are outraged at this
display can contact Hillel at 442-5670 and are more than
welcome to attend the vigil.

“The Greek community is
dedicated to performing and
continuing community service
within the SUNYA community,”
said Mike Farkas, president of
Sigma Lamda Sigma and IFC
Special Functions chair.
According to Casey, the
Greeks have done much for the
community over the years.
“Their fundraisers for charities
taised over $12,000 in the fall
semester and they donated over
4,000 hours of their time,”
Casey said. “There were a lot of
surprises - many of the
fundraisers were done without
fanfare, out of the motivation of
the need.”
Delta Zeta (DZ), formerly
PSX sorority, is currently
sponsoring a food and supplies
drive for Operation Mustard
Seed, a group that sends care
packages to the soldiers serving
in the Persian Gulf and their
families.
The IFC organizes events on a
community-wide system, Snyder
said. Many of them include
fundraisers for the American
Cancer Association, food banks,
the Lung Association, as well as
the SUNYA student body.
Snyder said each fraternity has
to do a minimum of four
community service events, but
many do more.
Casey said she wants to
organize a community fair in the
begining of March, with the
other groups on campus in
addition to the Greek
organizations.
“We want to do something
different - for all groups...such as
coordinate an Adopt-a-Concern
community fair. It’s important
that a positive message is being
spread,” Casey said.
“The works of these groups
reflect on the community, either
directly or indirectly,” she said.
“They do tutoring, mentoring,
and other educational programs
for the community. Forums have
been held on intellectual and
educational needs in the
community.”
As an example of the types of
educational forums presented, Pi
Alpha Nu (PAN) fraternity
sponsored a speaker whose son
was killed during a hazing
incident, to inform the other
Greek organizations about the
dangers of hazing.
The “social” fraternities and
sororities are not the only groups
that sponsor community events.
Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting
fraternity, has sponsored food
drives for local food banks, and
Delta Sigma Pi, the business
fraternity, works with local high
schools in a program called
Junior Achievement.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity,
Inc. has sponsored mentoring
programs for the African-
American males on campus,
while Zeta Phi Beta Sorority,
Inc. hosted a talent show for the
Sickle Cell Foundation.
Casey said, “(Community
service) should benefit you your
whole life. It gives you a sense
of the outside world.”

Rally
Continued from front page
“Hell no, we won’t go. We
won’t fight for Texaco!”
Cars driving by the marchers
honked their homs in support. A
fire truck blared its horn and the
driver waved to the marchers.
Flags with peace signs where
the stars should be were waved
as the march proceeded.
When the march reached the
State Armory the marchers
walked around in a big circle
being directed by the peace
keepers.
“One of the aspects of [this]
war is censorship. Never before
has the Pentagon exercised this
censorship,” said Gene Stewart,
a novelist from Kingston, New
York.
“People with disabilities have
interest in this issue. All of the
money in the Middle East could
be spent on an accessible world
for us...None of that is
happening.”
“There are more homeless, and
AIDS victims. This country
ought to be ashamed of itself,”
Stewart added. “Students are in a
position to point a finger. They
have ideals. It’s up to college
kids, I swear! I think the peace
movement is just beginning.”
Another marcher shouted,
“New world order, same old
shit!”
“You hear that?” Stewart said,
“Tt’s true.”
“J think black people will
begin to get into this issue.
Blacks are more against the war
years. Staley was marching to
promote peace.
“We can’t respond to this like
we did for the Super
Bowl...Route, route, route for the
hometeam,” Staley said.
“T see a difference of students
during the Vietnam war and now.
I miss the 60’s students
desperately, but I enjoy this
crowd very much,” Staley said.
All of the marchers converged
at the Capital at approximately
5pm, attempting to encircle it,
stopped for a moment of silence.
After a series of anti-wart
tunes, speakers began to voice
their opinions of the war.
One described a doctor who
travelled to Iraq and had to
amputate the leg of an eleven
year old child without anesthetic.
“We need to bring that childs
screams to the Americans,” the
speaker said.
A handbill distributed by
National Network of Campuses
Against the War quoted Malcolm
X, “The students all over the
world are the ones who bring
about a change; I’m not saying
this against anybody that’s
old...As long as you want some
action, you’re young.”

“Student enrollment in our

Rita Rodin, spokesperson for the

“Our tuition is affordable and

place. In the finals, Gordon tied his
opponent, 1-1. After overtime, the two
were still tied, so a 30-second tiebreaker
was used. It was then that Gordon was
called for his third false start of the match,
a one-point penalty.
“The guys did a fantastic job,” DeMeo
said. “We are really hopeful going into the
(NCAA) toumament”
“This is why we wrestled so many
tough teams - to prepare for the NCAA’s,”
he continued. “We wrestled nine Division
I teams, two Division II, and the top
Division III teams, such as Trenton State,
Ithaca, Cortland, Oneonta. We went 21-15
with Trenton, who was ranked number
one in Division III for the first half of the
season. “
DeMeo’s thoughts were backed up by
some of his NCAA-bound wrestlers.
Apparently, the benefits of the grueling
schedule the team endured outweighed the
5-9 dual meet record Albany finished
with,
“Tt definitely helped us,” Pavlin said.
“Division I opponents are tougher
competition.”
“At the end of the year, your record
may be better,” Fronhofer said, “but you
wouldn’t get the experience you need.”
“T had some tough losses to some good
opponents,” Pavlin said, “but it helped me
to spot my weaknesses and adjust to
them.”
The strategy seems to have been a
success. DeMeo is confident that his
wrestlers have benefitted from a “rugged”
schedule and likes their chances in
Illinois.
“They are all among the top wrestlers in
their class in the country,” he said.

Jones felt that his team’s poor shooting
(38 percent from the field) spelled defeat.
“This is one of the first times we have
faced a zone,” Jones said. “They couldn’t
stop us man to man, but we couldn’t hit

In the opening round of playoff action,

By Leon Hirth : ;
‘A combination of old and new will represent the Albany women’s swim team in the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championships held on March 14,
15, and 16. :
Senior Brenda Braun, an All-American diver, and freshman Siobhan Martinko, who
specializes in the backstroke, earned the right to participate in the NCAA Tournament
by qualifying at the New York State Division IIT ‘Women’s Championship at RPI on
February 14, 15, and 16. As a team, the women placed fifth. :
This is Braun’s fourth straight year qualifying for the Tournament, according to|
coach David Tumage. The meet will take place at Emory University in Georgia, which|
is the same place it was held in 1988, Braun’s freshman year. :
Ironically, Braun competed in the NCAA’s her freshman year accompanied by al
senior who qualified in the backstroke. This year, Braun will once again travel with a|
lbackstroke swimmer, Martinko. However, this time it is Martinko who will be new to}
ithe tournament. ;
“Siobhan qualified in a very competitive race,” Turnage said. Apparently, four out of
ithe eight swimmers who entered the backstroke competition beat the qualifying time.
Turnage further singled out the effort of senior captain Kim McDonald. Although
she didn’t qualify for the NCAA's, McDonald did break her own team record in the}
200 yard breaststroke. a 7
According to Tumage, Albany went up against a very competitive field, which
included: Ithaca, RPI, Union, Hamilton, Skidmore, Utica, Vassar, Alfred, Hartwick,
IRIT, St. Lawrence, William Smith, and Nazareth. 5
“With the numbers we had, I think the girls did a good job,” Turnage said,
“Unfortunately, we had a lot of illness and injury going into the meet, ranging from the}
flu to strep throat.”
Tiki believes that his young team has potential. “The strength of this year’s team|
lis youth,” he said. “We hope, if all foes well, that Siobhan will be a future All-
American and, with the number of underclassmen that we have, the team should bel
strong again next season.”
most of the season. They also came away
with a 78-73 victory Saturday in
Robinson Gymnasium,
“We achieved to our potential tonight,”
said Albany coach Dick Sauers, who for
the first time in 15 years will not be
heading for the post season. "We may not
be going to a tournament but we’re sure as
good as any of the teams who are going.”
During the 1987-88 season, with a 16-
10 record, Albany also did not make the
playoffs. Barry Cavanaugh was the
Danes’ coach that year, as Sauers was on
a sabbatical.
Tied at 71 with 2:32 remaining,
freshman Bob Miller sank two free throws
that began a game-ending 7-2 run.
RPI (20-4) received their first bid to the
NCAA Division III Tournament less than
24 hours after the loss to Albany. After
winning 18 straight, the Engineers enter
the Tournament having lost two of their
last three.
“We'll get a worse seed because of the
loss, but I think that it will help us play
better,” said RPI coach Mike Griffin.
“We're going to bounce back.”
Senior Aaron Bedard led the Engineers’
scoring attack with 16 points, But it was
Albany’s tight box-and-one defense on
Bedard in the waning minutes that shut
down RPI’s offense.
“They always play a box on Bedard at
some point during the game,” Griffin said.
“Tt was a good strategy because it slowed
us down.”
Albany grabbed their biggest lead of the
game, 34-26, following an 8-2 spurt.
Michael Shene ended the run with 4:53 to
go in the first half on a base jumper.
In his final game at Albany, Shene had
a solid performance, going eight for 12 for
the floor with 18 points. The 6-6 senior
ends his stint as Albany’s 13th all-time
leading scorer with 1,056.
RPI’s top scorer of the season, junior
Tom Ronan, was held to only nine points.
Ronan, who came into the game
averaging 20.1 p/g, did, however, become
the Engineers all time leading scorer
Saturday with 1,132. The old mark was
1,127.
“(Alex) McClearn and (Mark) Zuklie
did a good job on him,” Sauers said.
“They didn’t let him take advantage.”
RPI grabbed their first lead since early
in the first half with a 5-0 run to open up
the second stanza. John Mone’s jumper
capped it off for a 41-39 advantage with
18:18 remaining.
Albany pulled back in front, 56-55,
when junior Jeff Farnsworth buried a 15-
footer with 11:17 remaining.
Following six more lead changes, the
Danes were able to make the final burst
and end the season with a two-game win
streak.
The victory avenged a season-opening
74-73 loss to the Engineers in the Capital
District Tournament.
“The whole season might have been
different if we won the opener,” Sauers
said.

playoffs in loss to Niagara
was 1-0.
The Danes then tightened their defense
and had a few good scoring opportunities.
At 9:31, Albany’s Joe Roman was
stopped in front and denied on his own
rebound. This resulted in him getting hit
from behind but Shawn Reynolds’ hit
from behind gave Albany a power play.
Thirty-one seconds later, Roman would
not be denied again and beat goaltender
Mark Babowicz from the point to tie the
game.
At 2:21, Dockery angled a shot past
Albany goaltender Dave Kornreich and it
was 2-1. The Eagles never looked back.
Eight seconds later, Melton walked in
alone to score Niagara’s third goal.
With only thirty-nine seconds
remaining, Melton scored shorthanded
and it was suddenly 4-1.
“Before the end of the period,
everything had gone according to plan- to
keep even five on five, and beat them on
the power play,” explained Albany coach
Todd Flanigan. “The second goal was a
breakdown. We were so keyed up on
going to the lockers with a 1-1 tie, that it
was a much greater letdown when they
scored. We tried to make up for it, and
that led to the third goal. We had a major
mental breakdown.”
Thirty seconds into the second period,
Rich Caola scored on the power play to
cut the lead in half. However, at 17:20,
Dockery scored on a rebound from a
Sasyn shot and Niagara’s lead was there
again.
At 11:53, the league’s third leading
scorer, Rich Gallagher brought Albany
back to within two, However, at 10:02,
Chad Buchter scored on the power play
and it was 6-3.
Flanigan was frustrated by this pattern.
“If we could have just stopped them from
scoring right away,” he said, “every time
we got close, they scored again.”
With 4:25 remaining, Melton scored his
hot trick on the power play and the period
ended at 7-3,
In the third period, Dave Wooley
replaced Kornreich, who faced forty-one
shots. Gallagher and Sasyn traded goals to
finish the scoring.
Wooley was sharp, saving nine of ten
shots, while Babowicz, a first team all-
star, saved 34 for the winners.
Flanigan felt victory was a possibility.
“We did what we wanted to do, but we
had the breakdown. We played great after
that.” Albany was outscored 4-3 after the
first period.
Before the game, the Eastern Collegiate
Hockey League (ECHL) All-Stars for the
1990-91 season were announced.
Gallagher, a forward, was voted to the
first team, and Kornreich, a goalie, was
named to the second team. Defenseman
Kevin Ritchlin was named Academic All-
Star, and Komreich and Rob Hendrickson
were given honorable mention.
Although at the beginning of the
season, Flanigan explained that a .500
season in the league would have been
great (the Danes finished 7-7), he
considered it a very good season. Five of
those losses were to the top three teams.
Flanigan is optimistic about next year.
“Hopefully we'll grow, and get more
students to participate,” he said, “the team
is looking at a move to an arena near the
Albany Airport, as well as a few games at
the Knickerbocker Arena. Practice time
will probably be more convenient.
Flanigan faces a tough task replacing
his seniors. The team will certainly miss
Gallagher’s scoring; Kornreich, who has
been the backbone of the goaltending and

Five Albany wrestlers qualify for NCAA's
Four finalists and one wildcard
earn berths to championship
By Andrew Schotz

There are no more dual
matches on the schedule for
SUNY Albany’s wrestlers, but
the season is definitely not over.
In the Eastern Regional
competition, five Great Danes
qualified for the Division III
National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA)
Championships to be held this
weekend. These five- Van
Fronhofer (22-8 on the year),
Bill Mallin (31-6), John Pavlin
(23-8-1), Chris Roberts (20-15),
and Al Gordon (27-8)- will
travel to Augustana College in
Illinois this Friday and Saturday.
There are ten Division II
regions in the country and each
one automatically sends twenty
wrestlers to the NCAA’s,
according to Albany coach Joe
DeMeo. The first- and second-
place finishers in each weight
class at all regional
championships receive automatic
bids. There are also “wildcard”
bids awarded, the number of
which depends on the region. All
of the third- and fourth-place
finishers are eligible and a
meeting of the coaches decides
who will receive them, The
Eastern region is one of the
toughest, so six wildcards were
distributed, DeMeo said.
At the Eastern Regionals,
which took place in Rochester on
February 15 and 16, every
Albany wrestler finished in the
top five in their weight class.
There was no team title, but had
there been one, the Danes would
have snagged it, according to
DeMeo. Albany’s 94 points were
slightly better than the 86 points
Ithaca College amassed. Ithaca
College is the two-time
defending national champions in
Division III, St.Lawrence, who
won the title in 1988, had the
third highest point total.
The following is a brief
summary of how each Dane
wrestler fared:

consolation match cost Appel

In Saturday afternoon’s junior
varsity basketball game at
University Gym, it was difficult
to distinguish which team was
flourishing with 16 wins and
which was struggling with 17
losses. Schenectady Community
College took the lead over
Albany (16-3) with 10:14
remaining in the first half and
fought back the Great Dane’s
second half charges for a 78-76
win. Brian Weaver’s jump shot
late in the game sealed the
victory for the Chiefs (8-17).
This snapped Albany’s 10-game
winning streak, and prevented
them from reaching 18 wins,
which would tie the school’s
junior varsity record. Poor
Albany shooting from the floor
and line contributed to Albany’s
loss.
With 10-14 left in the first half
and Schenectady up 17-16, the
Chiefs went on an 11-2 spurt to
go up by seven. Seven of those
points, including a three-pointer,
came from Bill Moulton.
Moulton scored 15 points in the
first half, including four three-
pointers, and had 17 for the
game.
However, Albany coach James
Jones was not convinced that
place. Jones, an All-American,
narrowly missed a wildcard,
DeMeo said.

record out of reach
Moulton was a sharpshooter.
“If you give them wide-open
shots, they’ll hit them,” Jones
said. “But look at what he did in
the second half.”
Albany countered with an 8-3
Tun of its own, but Darrell Clark
answered with 5:12 to go in the
half by burying a trey from the
top of the key. The teams went
into the lockerroom with
Schenectady up 42-36.
In that first half, the Chiefs
were whistled for numerous
fouls, and with 12:33 remaining,
Albany was.in the bonus.
However, Albany missed their
next four free throws; including
two front ends of one and ones,
and hit only six of their 14
charity tosses in that stanza.
When Schenectady developed
its biggest lead if the game, 51-
43 with 13:51 left in the game,
the Danes came to life with a 9-2
surge. This included the
conversion of four free throws
by freshman point guard Dan
Keegan with 12:35 to go - a two- *
shot foul and a technical called
on Brian Weaver for arguing the
call.
The Danes finally tied the
game with lots of help from
sophomore forward Scott
Schaffner,
With 7:25 left and the Chiefs
up by five, Schaffner personally
outscored Schenectady, 9-4, to
even things at 68. Schaffner was
filling in for Albany’s top scorer,
freshman Jason Graber, whose
three fouls kept him on the bench
until 5:17 was remaining.
At 15:56, Weaver retaliated by
knocking in the go-ahead hoop,
and added three more points to
put Schenectady up by three with
2:34 left.
Two Keegan free throws with
:09 to go cut the margin to one,
at 76-75, but Tony Holloway hit
a pair from the line two seconds
later and Albany was fouled
before it could attempt a three-
point shot. Sophomore George
Handy hit one of two free throws
for the final margin.
Schaffner and Graber paced
Albany with 20 and 19 points,
respectively. Keegan added 15.
Schaffner also pulled down 11
rebounds and freshman Paul
Fitzpatrick had eight.
Clark topped the Chiefs with
20 points.
Jones seemed more
disappointed that Albany was
denied a shot at the school win
record than by the loss itself.
It is a great disappoinment on
a season with no playoffs,” Jones
lamented. “We have to strive for
