Council confirms appointments | Recent study concerns

By JAN DANIELS
Staff Writer

Wednesday night’s Central
Council meeting contained sev-
eral unanimous passings of bills
to be voted upon.

Council members agreed on
acclamation voting (unanimous

agreement) for four of the five —

bills presented at the meeting.

The other bill was postponed
until next week’s Central Coun-
cil meeting because the
appointee was not present.

The Student Association poli-
cy was amended, making
changes to the bylaws of the Stu-
dent Action Committee.

Also, a bill allowing $760.01
to be given to the Albany
Women’s Rugby Club was
passed. The women will be
advancing to the state tourna-
ment this weekend and the
money is needed for expenses.

Two SA positions were also
appointed. Ivy Zlotolow was
appointed Women Issues Direc-
tor for the 1995-1996 year.

Michael Castrilli, chair of
Central Council said, “The inter-
view was very difficult and yet
she responded with enthusiasm.”

Student Association President
Larry Kauffman said of Zlo-
tolow, “She is a more than emi-

Zlotolow has much experience
in women’s health issues includ-
ing working with the Albany
Rape Crisis Center.

Zlotolow already discussed
several proposals such as a
women’s issues week, women’s
health fair and women’s studies
forum.

Kamau Blount was appointed
Assistant Multi-Cultural Affairs
Director for the 1995-1996 year.

Vice President of the Student

applicants) was whatever he had
to say, he backed up with at least

one or two examples.”

violence against women

By KEVIN DEVALK |
Associate News Editor

The Center for Women in
Government has released the
results of a recent study concern-
ing violence aimed at women in
government workplaces, and the
results are not positive.

The study finds that women
are several times more likely to
be assaulted in the workplace,
compared to their private sector
counterparts.

The number of nonfatal
assaults against women in gov-
ernment, the study says, is 8.6
times higher than the number
committed against women work-
ing in the private sector.

“Workplace violence against
women is clearly a serious prob-
lem that we are only now begin-
ning to realize,” said Judith
Saidel, executive director for the
Center for Women in Govern-
ment.

AFSCME President Gerald W.
McEntee said, “This study illus-
trates that we at AFSCME have
known for a long time—if you’re
a working woman, you’re at a
greater risk of being a victim of
violence. Employers must realize
that few responsibilities are more
important than making the work-
place safe and free of violence.”

The report also found that
homocide is the leading cause of
death of women at the work-
place. In 1993, out of the 481
reported female deaths on the
job, 40 percent were murdered,
and of those, 80 percent involved
shootings.

Women are more likely to suf-
fer serious injury from workplace
violence than men. In 1993,
workplace assaults that resulted
in lost time and injuries about 58
out of every 100,000 working
women, for both private and pub-
lic sector occupations. The com-
parable rate for men is 58 lost
time injuries for every 100,000
working men.

Women who are assaulted on
the job are twice as likely to have
known their attackers than men.

The study says the rate of non-
fatal assault against African-
American women in the work-

- place is twice as high as against

white women.

Two-thirds of nonfatal work-
place attacks on women are com-
mitted by residents or patients in
institutional setuungs. Other major
sources are husbands, boyfriends,
and ex-partners.

Also reported was the fact
reported homocides and nonfatal
assaults are only a small part of

recent incident with Arafat

Leiter called Israeli leader Yas-
sir Arafat “a terrorist” and said he
has a history of encouraging ter-
rorism before being named chair-
man of the PLO.

Leiter praised New York City
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, citing an
incident occurring recently where
Giuliani asked Arafat to leave
New York City. “Tell me some-
thing, is there-no justice? Have we
gone mad...God bless Rudolph
Giuliani. There is only one leader
in New York, and. he is not Jew-
ish.”

Leiter discussed statistics
involving terrorism, and said Israel
is the only country he is aware of
where all police officers carry
machine guns.

Leiter said he was outraged that
in Jerusalem, the government has
set up several PLO ministries near

- religious holy places.

Leiter lightly touched on other
topics such as the strong control
the Israeli government has over the
Associated Press, and the weak-
nesses in the United States govern-
ment for not strongly condemning
the actions of the PLO, and their
alleged acts of terrorism.

Yechiel Leiter, a leader of the
Yesha Council, spoke to members
of the Revisionist Zionist Alterna-
tive Tuesday night in the Campus
Center about the price Jews are
paying for peace.

Leiter, who is the Executive
Director of the Foreign Desk of the
Yesha Council of Communities in
Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, kept his
commitment to speak despite com-
ing down with laryngitis Tuesday
morning.

Leiter said many have accused
him of being an obstacle to peace,
because he disagrees with the
peace plans of the Palestinian Lib-
eration Organization. “The issue
isn’t obstacles to peace,” he said.

“The issue is the kind of peace
Jews want.”

Leiter, who lived in Israel for
about 18 years, said he has been
shot and stoned many times by ter-
rorists. .

“Anyone who tells me being
against Rabin or Arafat make me
against peace is a nauseous human
being,” Leiter said.

On Wednesday the Omega Phi Beta Sorority Inc. sponsored a candlelight vigil in front of the
small fountain in front of the Campus Center for those who have died of AIDS, and to raise
funds for the survivors

The vigil was part of a week long program which was titled “Creating a Legacy of Support,
Hope, and Love: AIDS Affecting Our Youth.”

The program’s goal was to create and promote greater awareness about the realities of AIDS to
the university community.

Omega Phi Beta Sorority Inc’s program will culminate with an AIDS ball on November 4,
which the sorority declared AIDS Awareness and Education Day.

SA debates ASP election listing

November 4, 1969

A considerable amount of discussion at
last Thursday’s Central Council meeting
concerned the printing of election results
in the ASP. The topic was brought under
consideration by a proposed bill intro-
duced by Chuck Ribak calling for the list-
ing of winners and losers in elections but
with only the vote count of the winners
publicized in the ASP.

The bill would repeal Central Council
bill 6970-26 of Oct 9th which requires:
“that Election Commission publicize via
the Albany Student Press complete results
(including the vote count of winners and
losers), except Who’s Who losers elected
under its jurisdiction.”

Council member Ralph DiMarino cited
that this bill was positive censorship.

Though discussion of the ASP’s viola-
tion of the earlier bill was not deemed
necessary and exactly legal, the debate
centered around that issue.

Dave Neufeld said that since the ASP
was funded by the Student Association;
SA should be the policy-maker. There was
murmured dissent voiced regarding this

statement.

The only censorship, according to Gary
Gold, rests within Communications Com-
mission.

Election Commissioner Jeanette Beck-
erman praised the front page coverage
received by the Faculty Senate elections.
She further reported that when some of

the losers learned their results they indi-
cated that they were glad that their vote
count was not listed.

domain and shielded
from the public.

The discussion was ended by a tabling
of Ribak’s bill with a vote of 23-2-0.

The subject of the Student Assocation’s
tight money situation was brought up by
Gary Gold. Since SA is already in debt
and the Athletic Advisory Board has a
very large surplus (approximately
$160,000), Gold proposed that the $7.75
of the Student Assessment which normal-
ly goes to AAB be used to eradicate the
deficit in SA’s budget.

part of Student Tax ($7.75) be put into the
SA budget.

This motion was tabled by a unanimous
vote pending further information. People
involved with the AAB will be invited to

questions of Council members.

SA prepares for weekend

By Mary E. GAVIN
Staff Writer

This weekend, October 27-29
is the annual Homecoming and
Parents weekend, which alumni
of SUNYA and parents of stu-
dents are given a taste of what it
is like at the university.

Friday at 5:00 p.m., the Stu-
dent Association will host a
“Just Community Dinner” in the
Campus Center Ballroom. All
students, parents, and faculty are
invited to attend.

News Feature

Larry Kaufman, Student Asso-
ciation President said, “We want
everybody there, because it is
time to stress mutual tolerance
and learn to understand each
other.”

Immediately following the

dinner a pep rally will take
place. Towels, penants, mega-
phones and other spirit items
will be given away. Everyone
can dance and cheer around the
huge bonfire, while listening to
the sounds of WDRE (compli-
ments of Purple and Gold).
_ Eric Brielmann, Central Coun-
cil Vice-Chair said, “The most
thrilling event of the weekend is
the Halloween Homecoming
Parade.” It begins promptly at
12:00 noon on Saturday in front
of UPD.

Brielmann said he has spent
the last two months organizing
and planning the parade. As a
result, there will be jugglers,
face painting, appearances by
.Bart Simpson, Beauty and the
Beast, Simba, Power Rangers,
Frankenstein, and other surprise
guests.

Marching in this year’s parade
are the Yankee Doodle band,
Schenectady Bag Pipe Band,
Fife and Drums, as well as
SUNYA Five Quad Ambulance
Service, the University Police
Department, and the Albany Fire

Department. The SUNYA eques-
trian team is planning to march
through on horse and carriage.

Several Sororities and fraterni-
ties are preparing floats for the
event. Dora Croteau of Phi Sig-
ma Sigma said, “We are so excit-
ed to be involved. Our float
symbolizes our infinite spirit at
SUNYA.”

While the parade progresses
around the University, free cot-
ton candy, popcorn, soda, and
other treats will be available.

The parade will end in front of
the SUNYA football field, where
the SUNYA Danes will play
against Pace University later in
the day.

Cliff Lent, former Student
Association President has pre-
pared a fantastic evening of
entertainment for Saturday night.
At 8:00 p.m. the famous comedi-
an, George Carlin will perform-
ing in the University RACC
Center.

The weekend will end with the
President’s Breakfast. Dr. Karen
Hitchcock, interim president of
the university will be one of the
speakers.

The breakfast offers students
and parent an opportunity to
interact with members of-the
administration and other people
from the university.

Kauffman said, “The purpose
of homecoming and parents
weekend is to be together, have
fun and rock the University.”

In order to inform new stu-
dents of SUNYA’s homecoming
traditions, freshmen, and the

1995 transfer students were per- .

sonally sent information about
the weekend. Breilmann said,
“There is no reason for each stu-
dent to miss out on some of the
action.”

Tickets for the President’s
breakfast Just Community dinner
and George Carlin can be pur-
chased at the check cashing cen-
ter in the Campus Center.

Professor addresses education

By ERIK DEMPSEY

Professor Al Higgins, a sociol-
ogy professor at SUNY Albany,
spoke on Colonial Quad Wed-
nesday about the state of the
modern American university.

“In class,” Higgins said, “we
discuss many ideas and ques-
tions with no direct bearing on
our life; the real world provides
us with little use for an under-
standing of say, Vonnegut’s satir-
ical metaphysics. What we don’t
discuss, however, is the universi-
ty itself. We avoid the question
that should be at the front of
everyone’s minds: ‘What are you
[the university] doing to me?’”

According to Higgins, very lit-
tle. While we may pick up a
practical skill here and there,
such as a computer operation,
most of what we learn is useless.
“Thirty years later you probably
won’t remember a thing about
this place,” he said, of course
referring to the classroom mate-
rial. Like the Scarecrow in the
Wizard of Oz, the degree we
earn upon graduation is an
empty symbol of intelligence,
reflecting no real expansion of
the mind.

Higgins argued universities
are not the bastions of liberalism
that they enjoy calling them-
selves. The elitist nature of the
Ivy Leagues and other such pres-
tigious schools has only been
helped by the government, who

gives over $50 billion annually
to 15 of the nation’s most
revered, if not necessarily its
best, schools.

Higgins said the connections
one develops at such schools
give one greater opportunity
upon leaving them, and it is
these same connections which
help get-one into the school.

Furthermore, he pointed out,
most professors resent teaching
undergraduates. They are disin-
terested in this basic material;
they would rather be teaching
graduates, or better, doing re-
search.

There are exceptions, howev-
er, and Professor Higgins stress-
ed the importance of finding
those professor who had taught
Shakespeare to engineering in
majors. He had brought such life
to the material that the students
felt as though they had been
transported to another place, that
they could really sense the heart
of the works.

This, he said, was the epitome
of what could be accomplished
in the classroom; this is, in part,
why he went into teaching. And

|

a student who seeks these pro- _

fessors, and get involved in uni-
versity affairs, will be a success-
ful one. The only way to salvage
an otherwise worthless universi-
ty experience, Higgins said, is
through one’s own private ambi-
tion.

A commuter train on its way
to Chicago crashed into a
school bus on Wednesday,
killing five students and injur-
ing two dozen more. The
impact from the train, which
was moving at 50 miles an
hour, spun the bus 180
degrees, and ripped the under
half of the bus from the rest of
the frame (shown above right).

Many questions still remain
regarding how the bus came to
be on the tracks, and why the
bus driver did not respond to
the train, whose conducter
blew the horn for 10 seconds,}
and tried, unsuccessfully, to
stop the train.

A memorial service (shown
below right) has. been held for
the students who did not sur-
vive the accident.

SUNYA program receives national grant

The New York State Center for Technology in
Government, located. here at SUNYA, has won a
national award involving a $100,000 grant.

The center, created in 1993, has been named a
winner in the 1995 Innovations in American Gov-
ernment Award by the Ford Foundation and the
John F. Kennedy School of Government at Har-
vard University.

The center designs, tests, and evaluates proto-
type systems before agencies commit resources
and political capital to adopt them on a larger
scale. The center is capable of developing innova-

'|tions for the public sector.

The center was created to address cost prob-
lems in upscaling the state government with mod-
ern technology. The center’s project team asses
the benefits of technology in relation to. govern-
mental operations. Because of this, digital tech-
nology has speeded up the process of granting
permits to construct property in the Adirondacks,
among other successes.

\

The Center for Technology in Government was
one of 15 winners of this year’s award. It was
also cited for helping the Department of Motor
Vehicles cut the time needed to issue vehicle
titles, saving $3 million; improved information
management at the Adirondack Park Agency; and
worked with the Office of Mental Health and
advocates to help improve psychiatric assess-
ments in emergency rooms.

The center will use the grant to disseminate
information and audiovisual materials, and offer
information on the internet.

“The demans on American government—at all
levels—has never been greater,” said Franklin A.
Thomas, president of the Ford Foundation. “We
are challenged to provide opportunities for all
Americans to prosper and to help solve their com-
munities’ problems. And, in this time of fiscal
constraints, we are challenged to find ways for
governments to do more with less.”

Campus ghost stories abound during season of the witch

(CPS)No one doubts college can
be a scary place. Just ask fresh-
man before their first final exam.

But few college students
would say their fears have any-
thing to do with monsters under
the bed or goblins in the closet.

Maybe they should. Nation-
wide, ghostly legends thrive on
campuses, said Richard Crowe, a
supernatural phenomena expert
who’s based in Chicago. Crowe
says most ghosts just want to be
noticed. “If people pay attention
to them and let them co-exist,
they’re usually just fine,” he
says. “The problems sometimes
start when people try to deny that
they exist.”

For many students across the
nation, the question about whe-
ther ghosts exist has been
answered by thear campus experi-
ences. For example:

eFor years, students at Mans-
field University in Mansfield,
Pa., have maintained that North
Hall is haunted by Sarah. Sarah,
according to campus legend, is
the ghost of a student who com-
mitted suicide by leaping over a
railing through an open atrium in
the building. She allegedly killed
herself because of love gone
wrong.

*At the Gane of Illinois,
students tell their own colorful
tales about “The Blue Man.” The
Blue Man is supposed to be the
ghost of a man who allegedly
hung himself from a tree in a
cemetery just outside of campus.
Students swear on nights with a
full moon, they often see a ghost
emitting an eerie blue light.

Back on campus, the English
Building is supposedly haunted
by the ghost of a former student
who committed suicide. Rumor
has it the girl succumbed to the
pressure of academics and spends
her days haunting strict profes-

«Several students living in
North Spencer residence hall at
the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro say they’ve had
the opportunity to meet Anna-
belle—whether they wanted to or
not.

Legend has it that Annabelle is
the ghost of a student who com-
mitted suicide in one of the
building’s bell towers. And while
they don’t know what she’s look-
ing for, students say they some-
times hear her walking the halls
of the dorm.

«The Joe E. Brown and Eva

Green State University in Ohio is

haunted by Alice, an actress who

_ reportedly was killed on-stage

while playing Dedemona in
Shakespeare’s Othello.

Alice often interferes with the
theater department’s perfor-
mances by shorting out the light-
ing and scattering the props, but
only if she isn’t personally invit-

the final dress rehearsal of each
production, the director heads to
the stage, where he or she invites

Alcohol plays major role in health problems in women

Historically, social drinking
and alcoholism have been almost
exclusively the domain of men.

Women who drank were often
viewed with dis-

Middle gust, as unfeminine,

and as being prom-
Earth iscuous. In ancient
Roots times, women who

drank were stoned
or starved to death for this indis-
cretion.

Even today, the media rarely
depicts women drinking in bars
and having a good time. The
“wino” or funny “drunk” is
rarely a woman. However, the
reality is that more and more
women are drinking socially;
and, this trend is especially dam-
aging for women, both socially
and physically. .

The percentage of teenage and
young adult women who drink
has been steadily increasing in
recent years. In fact, the number
of young female drinkers is

a

a a a a

increasing more rapidly than the
number of young male drinkers.

About one-third to one-half of
the alcoholics in this country are
women.

Although women appear to be
drinking and becoming addicted
to alcohol as much as men, there
is still more stigma related to
women who drink. Women tend
to hide their drinking more than
men, feel more guilt and shame
about their drinking, and often
don’t seek help until the addic-
tion is very deep. Only about
nine percent of the recovery
homes in the United States are
designed especially for women.

It is only within the past
decade that research and concern
has begun to focus on the special
problems that exist for women
who use or abuse alcohol.

‘Because of physiological dif-
ferences between men and
women, women tend to get drunk
faster and stay drunk longer than

men when matched for size,

- weight, and number of drinks.

This is because women have less
of an enzyme that breaks down
alcohol in the stomach so more
pure alcohol gets into the blood-
stream, and because men tend to
have more fluid-containing mus-

‘cle which breaks down alcohol.

Also, some research suggests
that women tend to use more
alcohol and/or are more sensitive
to its effects at certain points in
the menstrual cycle; and that
alcohol remains longer in the
body who use oral contracep-
tives. So, drinking and driving
for women is particularly dan-
gerous.

There are many other health
problems that are of special con-
cern for women who drink.
Women develop cirrhosis of the
liver after a shorter history of
excessive drinking than men do,
and die of this disease at a
younger age.

Habitual drinking in women is
associated with gynecological
problems, duodenal ulcers, infer-
tility, miscarriages, as well as
birth defects, like fetal alcohol
syndrome, in children born of
mothers who drink during preg-
nancy. Also, in some studies
alcohol use has been linked to
breast cancer.

Because drinking impairs
judgment and decreases inhibi-
tions, alcohol use is commonly a
contributing factor in date/
acquaintance rape and unprotect-
ed sex.

A rape prevention study found
that alcohol was used by half of
all offenders and one third of the
victims. Women who are under
the ‘influence of alcohol may find
it more difficult to judge when
they are in a dangerous situation.

Knowing the dangers of drink-
ing, both socially and in excess,
is only half the battle.

Women must begin to €xamine

their reasons for drinking and
openly seek help when drinking
begins to take over their lives.

College is sometimes the envi-
ronment where a combination of
freedom from parental rules, peer
pressure, and stress may lead
young adults to begin a particular
drinking pattern.

Some of the predictors of later
problems with alcohol for col-
lege women are different from
those for men. These predictors
include: drinking to be more
cheerful, drinking to relieve shy-
ness, drinking to get high, and
drinking to get along better on
dates.

If you are concerned about the
amount you drink, there are sev-
eral agencies and organizations
that can help.

Call the Middle Earth hotline
at 442-5777 for referrals, or con-
tact the University Counseling
Center at 442-5800 for consulta-
tion or assessment services.

Thanksgiving
not as 1t seems

(CPS) The family gathered at
the dinner table, Dad poised
over the turkey with a carving
knife, a prayer of thanks-all
Thanksgiving traditions passed
down from the Pilgrim’s first
observance some 300 years ago,
right?

Not quite.

According to Emery Universi-
ty anthropologist George Arme-
lagos, venison was the main
course at the Pilgrim’s three-day
celebration and no mention was
made of thanks.

In fact, Maine, Virginia,
Texas, and Florida all claim they
were the site of the first Thanks-'
giving-not Massachusetts.

‘Holidays such as Thanksgiv-
ing Day are constructed and
reconstructed in a way that tells
us more about society than the
symbolic significance of the
original event,” says Armelagos.

Armelagos calls today’s
Thanksgiving holiday a “tri-
umph of Yankee salesmanship.”
He explains that what had been a
New England tradition gradually
gained acceptance in all regions
of the nation.

Although U.S. Presidents,
beginning with George Wash-
ington in 1789, have issued
proclamations for Thanksgiving
observances, it. was up to state
governors to declare official hol-
idays. Transplanted New Eng-
landers, particularly newspaper
editors, hounded governors for
proclamations. The South initial-
ly resisted, defiantly holding
Thanksgiving a week before the
date President Ulysses Grant set
for the rest of the nation.

- According to Armelagos,

' industrialization, compulsory
education, and mass communi-
cations all played a role in pass-
ing Thanksgiving traditions and
myths from generation to gener-
ation.

Middle Earth in need for peer counselors and assistants

Do you find it rewarding to
help others? do your friends seek
you out when they need to talk?
do you like to teach

Middle others about topics
Earth such as eating disor-

- ders, alcohol and
Roots other drugs, AIDS,

and other health and
mental health related topics? If
sO, you may want to consider
becoming a Middle Earth peer
counselor or peer educator.

The Middle Earth Peer Assis-
tance Program consists of a crisis
hotline and walk-in service as

over 100 calls per month, which
range from adjustment issues,
stress, and test anxiety to more
serious issues such as depression
suicide, and losses of friends and
family members.

The crisis hotline is a very
important service for our stu-
dents, as studies indicate that
many college students prefer to
talk to other students about sensi-
tive issues as compared to family
members and professional coun-
selors.

Peer counselor and peer educa-

‘tor trainees go through a

well as an outreach education
program.

The crisis hotline, our most
widely used service, handles

semester-long course.

In this course, entitled “Theory
and Practice in Peer Counseling
and Peer Education,” students

learn basic listening skills and
participate in classes which
address campus issues such as
rape and sexual assault, gay, les-
bian and bisexual lifestyles, alco-
hol and substance abuse, multi-
culturalism, disability, crisis
intervention, and other issues.

After the semester-long course
is successfully completed,
trainees may sit on the hotline or
do outreach education activities.

Middle Earth is an agency in
which students help other stu-
dents meet their personal and
educational goals.

Our crisis hotline (442-5777)
is open Monday-Thursday from
noon to midnight and 24 hours
on Friday and Saturday.

We also provide workshops
and educational programs for
student groups and other mem-
bers of the campus community
on a variety of topics.

Topics include stress manage-
ment, eating disorders,
alcohol/substance abuse, and
health related issues.

Contact Michelle Olexa at

442-5890 for more information
on our outreach services. |

Middle Earth is now accepting
applications for its Spring 1996
training class.

We are seeking students to
work on our crisis hotline and in
our outreach program.

Gaining experience at Middle

Earth is excellent preparation for
a variety of fields, including psy-
chology, psychiatry, social work,
education, and other related
fields.

Applications may be picked up
at Middle Earth, which is located
in Room 204 of the Health and
Counseling Services Building.

The deadline for applications
is Friday, November 10,1995.

Middle Earth welcomes appli-
cations from all segments of our
diverse student community,
including students of color, stu-
dents with disabilities, women,
men, international students, and
students form the gay, lesbian,
and bisexual community.

Student aid
hotline set up

(CPS) If you want to tell your Congress-
man how you feel about cuts in student
aid, just pick up the phone and dial toll-
free.

The Alliance to Save Student Aid has
set up The Student Aid Hotline, which
enables students to call their Congressmen
for no charge and express their views on
proposed student aid cuts.

The telephone number, 1-800-574-4AID
(4243), connects callers directly to the
Washington offices of their elected repre-
sentatives in Congress. If the call does not
go through, a fax message is automatically
sent in the caller’s name.

The cost of each call-$3.65 in most
cases-will be covered by the Alliance until
May 15, which should coincide with a
debate on student aid in the House and
Senate Budget Committees.

More than 6 million students now
receive federal student aid through a vari-
ety of grant, loan and work-study pro-
grams. Student loans currently make up 65
percent of financial aid, while grants
‘account for 35 percent.

Since last fall’s election, Republican
leaders have targeted student aid as a
means to help reduce the deficit. Proposals
have included eliminating the interest sub-
sidy loans. Madeleine Kunin, U.S. deputy
secretary of education, has said that the
elimination of the subsidy would add $350
in interest per year on a typical $5,000
loan.

Also, Congress is considering the elimi-
nation of campus-based aid programs,
including the State Student Incentive
Grant Program.

COLUNIN

A lot of commentators about the Million Man
March took some comfort from the fact that during’
Louis Farrakhan’s speech about a third of his audi-
ence drifted away. They like to think that, having
rejoiced in their dignity and unity, more than
200,000 black men tuned out the minister’s bug-
house numerology, his elaborate Masonic theories,
his personal cell-phone connection to God. But I
can’t read too much into their drifting away

Andrew Ward

because I wandered off during the greatest speech
of the 20th century.

I think a lot of people flunk their rendezvous
with destiny. As a part-time historian, I’m always
eagerly looking up old letters and diary entries
written by people who were present at some of the
-most momentous events in modern history only to
find that they hadn’t been paying attention.

I was 17 years old in 1963. A boyhood spent in
India had convinced me that skin color shouldn’t
matter at all. An adolescence spent in a prosperous
Connecticut suburb had taught me that in America
it did. Every evening on Huntley/Brinkley I had
watched good and evil battle it out across the
American South in higher contrast than my north-
ern suburb then afforded.

There were very few black people in my school,
and among many of my classmates a kind of casu-
al, country-club racism generally obtained. When I
brought my righteous indignation to bear on
debates in Problems in Democracy and Junior
English Literature, a lot of my friends looked at me
as though I had taken leave of my senses, To the
extent any of them watched the news at all, the
civil rights movement was merely a distant affront
to the primary suburban values of comfort and
exclusivity. |

I fancied myself a lone champion of civil rights,
and when Martin Luther King Jr., who had by then
entirely displaced President Kennedy as my hero,
issued a call to march on Washington for civil
rights, I was ready. The local chapter of the
NAACP, however, was not. Many of its members
were domestics from the town’s back-country
estates who worried, quite reasonably, that their
employers would fire them if they answered the
reverend’s call. Others were afraid there might be
violence. In fact, I had to go a couple of towns
away to find a chapter that would risk sending a
delegation, and it was with them that I set off in a
bus for Washington on the night of Aug. 27, 1963.

When my parents saw me off, my father
expressed his faith in me and my safety by loaning
me his camera. I was the only white person on the
bus, or maybe it just pleases me to think so. But I
do remember that after we were instructed on how
to protect ourselves nonviolently if we were
attacked en route, we sang gospel songs, and I
raised my baritone with such heavy, high-
school-chorus earnestness that I failed to realize
after a couple of verses that everyone else had
stopped singing and was staring at me.

The next morning, as we marched from the
Washington Monument toward the Lincoln Memo-
rial, I lost touch with my bus mates and found
myself among a delegation from Alabama. At
some point we were directed to hold hands as we
walked, and I reached mine out to a very elderly
black woman in a purple—veiled hat. She looked at
my hand for several seconds as we marched along,
and then she took it, pinching it slightly between
her cold and bony fingers and after a few minutes
confessing that mine was the first white hand she
had ever held.

Elitism plagues SUNY administration

Recently, the question of elitism on the part of Presiden-
tial Scholars has come up. The ASP printed an article earli-
er this year alluding to this, and it was met with harsh criti-
cism from offended Presidential Scholars. Whether these
students are elitist or not is not as important as whether or
not the administration itself is forcing these students into
these roles, and the rest of the student body is being dis-
missed.

The idea behind the Presidential Scholars is that if
incoming frosh score a certain number on their SATs and
keep a certain average in high school, they’re awarded at
SUNYA with a computer in their suite, and a suite which is
located in a hall saved solely for the Presidential Honor stu-
dents. Furthermore, the students are offered a number of
programs with faculty and staff, giving these students an
upper hand in finding recommendations and scholarships
from top administrators.

This kind of treatment by the faculty may send a message
to the Presidential Scholars that the University wants them
here and that they are appreciated for their intellect. But it
also sends a message to the thousands of other students,
who did not perform as well in high school, that no matter
how hard they work, these students really mean nothing to
the administration. With the exception of minority awards,
students who excel in classes are overlooked because they
didn’t bring their intellectual luggage to school fully
packed. Students who commit themselves to dozens of
hours a week in extra curricular activities and jobs, and are
still able to keep extraordinary GPAs. may have great

Two decades ago, several professors at Harvard
Divinity School wondered aloud whether God was dead.
After lengthy tomes and frenetic articles, the inquiry
came to naught. But the ingenuity of politically correct

theologians should not be underestimated.

Today’s chic academics, not content with rewriting

Ernest W. Lefever

American history and purifying the speech of university
students and the elite media, have turned back 2,000
years plus to straighten out the Bible and degender God.

In an effort to make the Scriptures embrace all people,
as they put it, a band of six politically correct American
Protestant zealots have edited “The New Testament and
Psalms: An Inclusive Version (1995).” Though pub-
lished by Oxford University Press, this “inclusive” effort
lacks the imprimatur of the National Council of Church-
es or any other religious body.

The editors’ laudable compassion for the downtrod-

den— particularly women, the poor, people of color and
the handicapped-reaches beyond efforts to improve their
condition, to what the liberation theologians have called
the “preferential option for the poor.”

They seek to liberate these groups, whom they see as
victims, from the burden of words that further exclude
or demean them. But their concern goes far beyond
rightfully condemning abusive epithets directed against
any group or class—including, one might add, the rich
and powerful.

To make the Scriptures user-friendly and accessible to
all, they replace or rephrase “all gender-specific lan-
guage not referring to particular historical individuals
and all pejorative references to race, color, religion” or
“physical disability.”

To embrace women, the editors dethroned God the
Father and begin the Lord’s Prayer with “Our Father-
Mother in heaven,” installing a kind of bisexual regency.
The Son of Man becomes “the Human One.” In the Ser-
mon on the Mount, all references to brother are rendered

resumes when they graduate, but they don’t have free com-
puters or pizza parties thrown for them because of this.

The administration seems to have a high brow attitude
that trying to make students better learners is a waste of
time. The new Dean of Undergraduate Studies stresses the
importance of the Presidential Honors. Yet there are so
many students who don’t receive the recognition that they
are so unfairly denied. What of the student, who as a fresh-
man, revived the literary magazine? Or the Junior who
spends several nights a week taking care of a handicapped
elderly man. Or the Sophomore who works through EOP, is
taking a pre med course load, and is still struggling with the
English language. These three students are still able to keep
up exceptional grades, yet all these students, and hundreds
more like them, go unrecognized because they couldn’t
reach the necessary SAT score or they just really stunk at
math or Shakespeare.

If the students at this college had something to work for,

an award, a scholarship, some recognition, perhaps they

would be more enthused to work towards higher grades and
better jobs. Sociology has proven that rewarding students,
as opposed to punishing or ignoring them, reaps rewards. A
university is about learning, and yet this school refuses to
support students who act upon that very idea. If the Dean’s
office wants to throw pizza parties just for the students who
come in knowing everything they need to know to gradu-
ate, they should know that learning is not about instant
gratification; it’s about struggle, determination, and ulti-
mately, reward.

as “brother or sister” or “sister or brother.” The simple
benediction in 2 John 3 becomes: “Grace, mercy and
peace will be with us from God the Father-Mother and
from Jesus Christ, Child of the Father—Mother.”

The 23rd Psalm’s “The Lord is my shepherd,” now
reads “God is my shepherd,” and the pronoun he is
dropped entirely.

In the 63rd Psalm, “Thy right hand upholds me”
becomes “your strong hand upholds me,” since refer-
ences to the right hand of God may offend left-handed
persons, presumably Ee George Bush and Bill
Clinton.

The editors downgrade shale authority, indeed human
authority generally, because it demeans or subordinates
women. They prefer “dominion” to “kingdom” because
a king is a male figure. They reduce the mentions of
“Jord” and “master” because these words connote mas-
culine control or slavery.

The new version says children should not “obey” their

ASPing For Trouble

With the annual ritual of trying to figure out what to do with the
family upon their arrival for family weekend (yes, I’m 20 and my
mom still comes up with the grandparents and my sisters. It could
be worse, she could come without CDs, a desire to foodshop, and

a limitless credit card) I’m once again stuck.

I was thinking of going to the Spectrum and bonding with
grandma over a showing of Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Rosie loves
her Russ Meyer. But I figured my little sister might not enjoy that.
So I thought for her sake we could all go to Peabody’s but seeing
as how she’s 16, she’d probably be the oldest one there and she’d
feel uncomfortable. Oh wait, I’m sorry, the patrons there believe
that the bouncers are fully convinced that everyone in there is
actually 21. Yeah. Should the day come when I am of legal
drinking age and I choose to imbibe at Peabody’s I can only hope
someone who cares about and loves me will have the courtesy to
shoot me in the head. Twice.

Ever since my older sister got-engaged she’s been playing an
advanced game of maternal sibling and homemaker, so I offered
her the opportunity to spend the day washing the floors of my
apartment and doing my laundry. However, because she has a
fear of insects and unidentified sticky substances on hardwood
floors, as well as beer-saturated cotton, she respectfully declined.
Does “What the fuck are you on?” seem like a respectful way to
turn down a suggestion? I thought so.

Thad another chance to get it right with my shopaholic mom but
when I mentioned the great sales going on at the beer distributors
and Music Shack, she informed me she had more of a Gap day in
mind. Mom likes to dress me because she knows left to my own
devices I’d still be wearing acid—washed jeans, that old army
jacket, and my INXS tee-shirt. I mentioned that a classmate of
mine recently discover that GAP SALE is actually an acronym for
the seven deadly sins: (Gluttony, Avarice, Pride, Sloth, Anger,
Lust, Envy) but she didn’t see this as profound. Instead she told
me I needed a new denim shirt and a heavier jacket and since she

was sponsoring the refilling of my freezer, not to mention

indirectly sponsoring various other habits, not all of which she
was entirely clear on, I better shut up, allow myself to be
Prepified—and like it.

My very last hope was grandpa. Murray is a man’s man. A guy
who’s figured out just how to get my grandmother to feed him
thirteen times a day and think she’s enjoying it. A man who at 78
reads Playboy with no apologies and no less pride than The New
York Times Book Review. A man who isn’t sure of his wife or
children’s names, but remembers an attractive blond friend of
mine who he met once for about eight seconds and still asks for
by name. In other words, the model of a patron at Hooters.

Hooters is a tough place to go to. It’s hard (well, yeah, I guess
pun intended) to sit in an establishment known for waitresses
with big...hooters, and not feel like a big perve. It’s like eating at
Showgirls the restaurant-there’s one I bet the Fashion Cafe
supermodels never thought of. But if Camille Paglia can claim

that strippers are empowered because they cause men to cower

and in turn get paid for it, I suppose I am actually enabling
women to feel authoritative by asking for a burger with a
mouthful of drool. And then there are those guys who figure
leaving a big tip will get them laid. These guys I presume, are the
same ones who think shouting out insightful slogans like “Hey
baby!” or “Nice ass, sweetheart” will access chicks for them. But
for the women, I guess its no less disturbing than getting paid $5
an hour at the Gap. Having to be that girl who offers a “Hi,
welcome to the Gap” with all the energy of a cookware
infomercial host seems equally demeaning. So in effect us dirty
old men are helping the feminist cause. Twisted justification?
Maybe.

So I’m gonna take the whole gang there and even 1 if everyone
isn’t having an ideal day, at least grandpa and I can have a
familial bonding moment stronger than that which comes from
being bored together at a random cousin’s bar mitzvah. That is,
assuming the place doesn’t give him a heart attack.

3a Aspects

Female Life Now And Then

Now and Then, written by I.
Marlene King, is the consummate
“girl movie,” serving as a female
complement to Stand By Me, the
popular story detailing the trials

and tribulations of boys coming of _

age in the late 1950s. Producer
Demi Moore is relying on the
audiences who flocked to Little
Women and How to Make An
American Quilt; to prove again this
genre of film can be successful.

Ann Shaughnessy

Moore plays Samantha, a writer
who returns to her hometown to
support a childhood friend during
pregnancy. She is joined by two
other pals, Teeny and Roberta
(Melanie Griffith and Rosie
O’Donnell). Since leaving town,
Teeny has attained Hollywood
stardom, while Roberta has
remained behind to set up a
OB/GYN practice. It is Chrissie
(Rita Wilson), the lone housewife
of the group, whose pregnancy
has provided the impetus for the
reunion.

Moore, Griffith, O’Donnell and
Wilson, while receiving top
billing, are merely the opening act
for the retrospect which follows.
Four young actresses, Gaby
Hoffman, Thora Birch, Christina
Ricci and Ashleigh Aston Moore
portray the foursome in their
younger days. Aston Moore,
bearing a definite resemblance to
her other half, Rita Wilson, has the
best lines in the movie and does
not disappoint. Cloris Leachman,

in the role of Samantha’s
grandmother, is completely
convincing as a batty, anal
retentive, intrusive, bingo playing,
senior citizen.

Shelby, Indiana, the setting of
Now and Then, is a typical
mid-western town as defined by
most people. It is the summer of
1970, and the girls are twelve
years old. Challenged daily by the
antics of pubescent boys, the
ongoing Vietnam War, the onset of
puberty, and distressing situations
at home, the foursome turn to
each other for guidance. While the
storyline is mostly upbeat,
situations of divorce, premature
death, and parental neglect are
considered.

Central to the plot is a bike trip
the girls undertake, to a
neighboring town in search of the
circumstances surrounding the
death of a little boy known as
Dear Johnny. The girls unearth the
mystery and make peace with
Shelby’s very own Boo Radley in.
the process.

Now and Then is a pleasant trip
down memory lane. Not as tragic
and penetrating, or for that matter,
effective, as Stand By Me, King’s
script focuses on the sanguine.
Although the girls are certainly
precocious in their understanding
of how the world goes ‘round.
Many of us can identify with the
premise, remembering - that
without our preteen friends,
puberty, an otherwise mystifying
stage in life, would have been
pretty boring indeed.

After Clerks, Malirats Disappoints

When I recently told a blend of mine
that a screenplay I am working on has
gotten some good feedback he said to me
“Just make sure to continue to make it
interesting and not cliched. Don’t get
comfortable in the praise.” Having seen
Mallrats, the second segment of
writer/director Kevin Smith’s “New
Jersey Trilogy” (Clerks was the first), it
seems Smith would have been lucky to
receive my friend’s advice.

Scott Watts

Mallrats is one big mess, a humorous
mess, but still a mess. This time the focus
is on T.S. and Brodie, two more kids who
reside in the same New Jersey town
as Clerks’ Dante and Randal (or are
they cheap imitations of Smith’s
earlier characters?). The father of T.S.’
girlfriend is hosting a new, cheap
rip-off of a dating gameshow at the
mall. The girl who was lined up to be
the lucky contestant has died in the
YMCA swimming pool from an
embolism to the brain (remember the
funeral in Clerks? Same girl) For some
stupid reason T.S: gets blamed and
his girlfriend dumps him.

Enter Brodie, Sega. addict. Take
away his Sonic and he gets the
shakes. As we meet him he is also in
the process of getting dumped. So
now we have our tidy little purpose
to get the girlfriends back.

But it doesn’t work. The dialogue
isn’t as creative or snappy as Clerks.
It’s clear Kevin Smith isn’t the
greatest director in the world, but his
writing certainly made up for it in the
first film. This time the story runs like
a cheesy sitcom at-times. And to top it

_all off, the do-nothing slackers of Clerks,
Jay and Silent Bob, become people with a
purpose. This time around they look
more like The Mighty Morphin Power
Rangers with their superhero schlock.

Clerks managed to make its point about
focusing on what you want in life within
the context of the working world in a gut
busting format. Mallrats however, is a
cheesier-than—all—cheese quest to win thy
girlfriend back. And the film’s Animal
House epilogue lends no credibility.

Kevin Smith has become _ too
comfortable after his instant fame but
maybe Mallrats will snap him back into a
challenged mode. As it is now, he’s
beginning to look more like a i character i in
one of his films.

HOUSTON-Yolanda Saldivar,

Tejano music star Selena, was

time of her death, Selena

Hundred Year Hall (Arista) is
the long awaited third release
from the Grateful Dead's
extensive vault of live concerts.
Clocking in at 142 minutes, this
third release from the vault
contains about two-thirds of a
concert from April 26, 1972, on
their historic tour of Europe,
which yielded another double
live album, Europe ‘72.

Jeffrey Schulberg

Only two songs, “Next Time
You See Me” and “Comes a
Time,” appear for the first time
on a Grateful Dead album.
Highlights of the first set
include emotional renditions of

“No Rain,” which featured a

capering Bee-girl in its video,
which remains a staple on
MTV.

The song helped the band’s
self-titled debut reach No. 3
on the Billboard Top 200 pop
chart. The tune was also
notable for its uplifting tone, a
marked contrast to thef¢e
depressing songs being>)}
offered by the band’s alterna-

tive rock contemporaries,

The song’s success helped
earn Blind Melon a slot on the
Woodstock ‘94 bill and pro-
pelled the album into multi-
platinum territory. The disc
has sold more than 2 million
copies.

The band’s follow-up disc,
Soup, was released two
months ago and bowed at No.
28. But after a steady decline
on the chart, the album fell off
the top 200 last week.

Hoon is survived by his
mother, a girlfriend and an
infant daughter.

“Me And My Uncle, “§ “Jack
Straw,” “Going Down The
Road Feeling Bad,” and an
energized reading of “Turn On
Your. Lovelight” by Ron
“Pigpen” McKernan, who died
only a short time later.

The first set is repetitive with
only one song appearing for
the first time on a live Dead
album. But what makes this set
worth adding to your collec-
tion appears on the second
side. The liner notes, penned
by Dead poet/lyricist Robert
Hunter, describe the second set
in much detail, particularly the
36 minute version of “The
Other One.” The second set
includes “Truckin’,”
Magnolias,” and
” a song that
appeared on the late Jerry
Garcia's first solo album.

The song emerges gently out
of “The Other One” with its
admonition “gotta make it

5a Aspects

Unnatural Messages

Nature combines bass, vocals, two guitars and drums with
programmed sounds and voices. Their self-titled debut (Zoo)
is musically powerful and lyrically lacking. Nature’s strong
metal guitar sounds are complimented well by their creative
programming but the songs come off as stale due to the lack
of substance within the lyrics and the messages behind them.
The simplicity of the in your face vocals and simple lyrics
undermine the musical intricacies of each track, thus leaving
the listener unfulfilled.

Steve Lamkin

The album starts off with a novelty song,.
Twice,”

“You Only Live
a slight restructuring of the song from the 1967

James Bond film of the same name. It is a driving and chaotic
track that shows off Nature’s above average musical and pro-
gramming ability. As the album continues this chaotic and
brooding style is continued, but the lyrics and vocals simply

do not keep pace. If this album was purely instrumental it
would be very good, but the value of the messages from the
vocals do tremendous damage. Songs about seducing actress
Justine Bateman and convincing people to commit crime
undermine the bands artistic integrity.

The album does include one truly above average song,
“Zodiac 99” about a series of crimes that were committed in
the San Francisco Bay area. It is a very mellow and grooving
track that has sudden crashes of chaos, exhibiting Nature’s
ability.

Nature’s debut, an attempt to incorporate an sleceroaks
presence into the heavy metal sound, is average at best. It is
their failure to offer meaningful lyrics and good vocal styles
that knock their legs out from underneath them and cause
the members of Nature to fall flat on their faces.

Machines Of Loving Grace Find Get Real_

After.the release of their last

album, Concentration, Machines
of Loving Grace felt the need F
to change to a more guitar-ori-
ented, non-synthetic, industri-
al sound, and Gilt (Mammoth/
Atlantic), their third studio @
album, is the result. .

Jonathan Lee

Although producer Sylvia
Massy (Tool, Babes In
Toyland) has helped them§
achieve this new sound, Gilt is
not an innovative record in
any way. A majority of guitar j
riffs and sounds resemble fj
Chemlab and other Aggro-f
tech peers and sound intense-
ly boring. They manage to
escape the monotony only when
they slow the pace and empha-
size the samples they’ve bor-
rowed from German industrial
gods, Einsturzende Neubauten.

Machines have tried some new
methods to record their material
as well as trying different ways
to play their instruments. (Some
of the guitar parts were recorded
by tying a rope around the gui-
tar and chucking it down a cliff).

As a result, there are some inter-
esting compositions offered.
Slower songs such as “Serpico”
demonstrate their innovative
side and strength by emphasiz-
ing eclectic noise and feedback.

Thanks to the minimal use of
sequencers and samplers, there
is a live sound but not the intri-

cate sampling that can be heard

in many other industrial bands.
Faster songs dominated by the
wall of guitar, fail to recognize
their potential because samples
and many other sounds are
inaudible.

There is a lot of darkness and
aggression here, with lyrics
about drugs and the existence of
God. One of the better aggres-
sive songs, “Richest Junkie Still
Alive” deals with the dependen-
cy of the overindulgent.
“Serpico”, a dark, ambient piece
about vocalist Scott Benzel’s
friend whose father killed him-
self after they had a fight, gives
the listener a glimpse of what
the band members go through in
their lives.

Because the lyrics are about

reality instead of fantasy, it gives
fresh life to these seemingly
redundant subjects.

While this album does not
break any new grounds, by all
means it does have some quality
songs for the listeners who
desire aggressive guitar driven
music, containing enough sur-
prises to keep listeners enter-
tained. |

Some of this new material pro-
vides a good insight as to what
direction the band will take in
the future in order to differenti-
ate themselves from other indus-
trial bands. If you are an indus-
trial fan chances are, you own a
better album that sounds like
this. But if you are unfamiliar
with industrial music, this
album can be a good start.

There aren’t many things Staten
Island, NY is known for, except
maybe the landfill which can be
viewed from space. However, with
Eve’s Plum’s new album, Cherry
Alive (550 Music/Epic), there is
hope, for they have produced an
album which would make their fel-
low S.Lers proud.

Susan Craine

Eve’s Plum made an impressive
debut in 1992 with Envy, and fortu-
nately they do not fall into the infa-
mous sophomore slump. The band
is lead by the husky-voiced
Colleen Fitzpatrick. Unlike Envy,
she does considerably less yelling
on this new album, but don’t get
the wrong impression, this is still
one angry woman.

Filled with songs about longing,
Colleen spends her time waiting to
be treated like a queen (“Fairy
Princess”), loved by a man who
doesn’t have a clue about her feel-
ings (“Loved By You”), and being
told she is one fantastic looking

chick (“Beautiful”).

The music backing these lyrics is
no quiet piano medleys, but rather
some very loud bass, guitar, and
drums which helps to emphasize
the idea that, although they are
singing about insecurities and the
need to be loved, they aren't doing
it quietly with the hope of being
heard. Rather they are doing it as
loudly as humanly possible, mak-
ing it impossible to be ignored.

“Jesus Loves You (But Not As
Much As I Do)” is not a throw back
to a Christian children’s song, but a
little pun suggesting that although
God may love you, his love is noth-
ing compared to the love this
woman feels. A borderline sacri-
lege, but it’s what makes the song
fun. And in order to maintain the
romping, the band isn’t above
bringing out the proverbial disco
ball on the title track, featuring
sounds of the disco heydays. But
eventually the album returns to the
successful formula of infusing
angry music with one cool lead

years on Leo Kottke Live (Private

Music). For one-night the city of

Boulder, Colorado comes alive with Kottke
and his acoustic guitar virtuosity.

Andrew Purrot

He begins with his trademark humor,
always random and off the cuff, then pro-
ceeds to rip into “William Powell,” a fine
display of quick bluegrass guitar playing.
seca is more to.come as Kottke gets to his
hit “Jack Gets Up,” about leading a boring,
mundane life: “Everyday in the morning
When you crawl out of bed, you crawl out of
bed, you craw] out of bed.”

Kottke is completely at ease playing in
front of a small audience in a quaint atmos-
Phere and the audience clearly enjoys it.
Kottke’s talking during the performance
allows his charm and genuine nature to

guitar playing is never outdone,

Having both jazz and blues influences,
Kottke always does an excellent job. of com-
bining both to achieve a sound all his own.
Using lyrics sparingly, he makes sure to
never drown out his guitar playing, but it is
very relaxing and Emoxabie to sit back and
listen.

“Twilight Time” is a delight Exactly as its
name suggests it is slow and dramatic with
a hint of exhilaration. Other songs on the

album are indicative of Kottke’s form of

jazzy bluegrass. The great thing about this
recording is that it shows how much of a
common man he really is, making it very
easy for peers e to relate to him.

Not only is there some stupendous g guita
playing on this record but there is also an
element of ease and relaxation created by
Kottke. After listening to Leo Kottke Live, one
may just find themselves buying tickets to
his next show.

The
Department
~~” of Theater at
SUNY Albany has
opened its season
with a sensational
double header.
The students
chose the
supernatural
as this year’s
theme for
\ their plays,
and what

the SUNY
theater
season
than with
Charles

Busch’s “Vampire Lesbians of
Sodom,”, which includes the one act
play of the same name partnered with
another one act play, “Sleeping
Beauty (or Coma).”

“Sleeping Beauty” is a wonderful
play about three flower children of
the 60’s who reinvent the world on
their own terms. Along the way, they
get seduced by fame and fortune.
Ginger Russack captures the essence
of the classic “cover girl” of the ’60s in

her role as Enid Wetwhistle. Her

performance is completed by Darren
Goldstein as Ian, the photographer
who brings her to public notice.
Fauna Alexander, played by Shawn
Michael Cahill perfects this triangle as
the clothes designer that steals the
show. His performance etches out
facets that make this gem shine even
brighter. The supporting cast makes
this play flow into a show that brings
smiles and cheers from the audience.
The only thing that tops the
performance of such a tight cast is
their second performance in “Vampire
Lesbians.” Looking at the human
condition through vampire eyes, this

comedy has serious undertones.
When one looks beyond the laughter,
the theme of intolerance bites right at
your jugular.

The Succubus, played by Shawn
Michael Cahill, bites her victim, the
sacrificial virgin (Russack). As a
result, she creates another version of
herself. Through the ages, the victim
is obsessed with dominating her
victimizer. Yet when the opportunity
arises, something greater keeps her
from realizing her goal. She feels a
kindred spirit with the old vampire. It
is this kinship which destroys the true
monster, intolerance, and keeps the
play human.

Director Kenneth Bush _ has
interpreted this play with a novel
approach. He has a lot of fun with a
lot of old vampire clichés from old
films, and infiltrates them in his
production. He refers to Hollywood
epic films such as Cleopatra and The
Robe to create Sodom. The influence
of Sunset Boulevard is also Seen in the
creation of his glamour gal vampires.

Bush and his company have
managed to put on a top notch

SUNY’s Actors Show Their Bite

Dep't Of Theatre College Arts and Sciences Present “Vampire Lesbians Of Sodom” At The PAC

professional production despite the
SUNY cutbacks they have been forced
to deal with. The show, chosen in part |
because of the minimal set
requirements, takes place without the
luxury of any scenery. With no
technical director and no scene
designer, the company could not
conceive and render the sets or build
them. The students have risen to the
occasion by creating their own
choreography, designing their own
costumes, and taking over the stage
management.

Perhaps the powers that be should
take the time to “vamp” into a
performance and see the talent which
the SUNY artistic population has to
offer. These performers have certainly
overcome tremendous odds and
cutbacks to present a wonderful
show.

Enjoy a performance of these two
plays on October 26-28 at 8 PM and
October 29 at 3 PM. You can also
enjoy a_ special Halloween
performance at 8 PM or 12 AM on
October 31.

AND NOW, FOR /OAE POETRY...

The Neverending Summer

A pastime,
now tarnished

and marred
by the unfortunate

will be recorded

by history, as

the night, that one
immortal was reborn,

For Dion

Hence not question an artist’s form

for those who judge give birth to scorn
An artist’s woes and cries alike

like unbreathed paper take to their flight

Journeys alike but different in shame
one is more verbal
one has less game

and a new one was created,

not outweighing the others
accomplishments

instead, complementing the others
determination, dedication,

blue collar, down to earth

work ethic, which brought

him to this point of no return.

realities of the present

sees a light,ever so dim

or as bright, as the fiery red sun
under which many nameless men
gathered,

swinging, throwing, fielding,
breathing in the smells of the event

as if, it was a marriage of sorts,

a onetime occurrence, immortal in the
memories of those who absorbed its
purity and grandeur.

A profound man spoke;

“Records were meant to be broken”
even he, couldn’t have possibly known,
the magnitude of that statement

For me, fate, a friend of endings
determines what comes to pass

Passion bred likeness with airy delight
different roads traveled

one their own flight

I travel alone without my consent
crushed open souls forcing me to repent

For some destinations do not meet the end
as I have been told my ways make not mend
each art their own beginning

two souls their own song

wherever we hear the calling

should be where we belong

so, this great man
begins a new era,
dawning on the next
generation, of leather
glove wearing, and
wood swinging youth.
an example of love,
of holding tightly,

on to what ultimately
gives life, its value.
So, come down to

the park, the fans see i ;
a. But life is a game as so | am told
are all singing,

: : , it can cause such elation if you dare to be bold
gees don t exist where souls may appear weak and as fragile as glass
only cheers, in awe of

if need be pick up the pieces and then pick up your ass
a man, struck dumbfounded, |

by his own feat of will.

Two many loves, forced only to choose

is may seem to compare I’m forever to lose

but art is a calling for those who choose to hear
you cannot control it and for me, it inflicts fear

of never quite knowing if the road is too narrow
the seasons and times changing like the path of the
sparrow

On a green field,

more like a pasture
where men graze

there stands a man
who, in a period of
fighting andgreed ~
rises to the highest point
of being, surpassing

its’ petty arguments

this night,

My outspoken friend need not fret

an artist’s wise words

and another one’s bet

each of our art is one of their own

two souls can see the theatre as home

without ever leaving it nor forsaken at heart

to breathe in it’s

audience

and

to disperse it as art

For you are its voice

and I am the pen :
We can bring forth love’s tragedies again and again

Affirmative
Action

To the Editor:

I am writing in response to Mr.
Schoen’s letter, in order to educate the
university community on the Student
Association’s position on Affirmative

Action. In his letter Mr. Schoen suggests |

that an inadequate attempt was made by
the Student Association to hire individu-
als covered under affirmative action: peo-
ple of color, women, differentlyabled,
veterans, lesbians, gays, and bisexuals.
Perhaps Mr. Schoen was oblivious to the
numerous posters around campus or the
ads in the ASP, publicizing job openings
in the Student Association. All-of which

were encouraging the protected classes to

apply.

What Mr. Schoen quoted me as saying
is true; we will not keep a position open
for a protected class individual. I will
stand by my words proudly, because the
SA will not discriminate against quali-
fied, non-minority individuals while I
hold the position of Affirmative Action
Director. We will be doing a great disser-
vice to the campus community by
appointing and hiring non-qualified indi-
viduals simply based upon their race,
creed, etc.... If a protected class individu-
al was not chosen for a position the I can
Say with great assurance that they were
not deemed qualified.

Five out of the seven directors are cov-
ered under affirmative action. The SA
will not change it’s hiring practices to
meet Mr. Schoen’s conception of affirma-
tive action goals. The Student Associa-
tion will continue to hire the most quali-
fied individuals for any SA position. I
sincerely hope that Mr. Schoen’s letter is
not result of what some people have said:
that Mr. Schoen’s criticism and com-

ments are swayed by his failure to attain .

the SA affirmative action position.

Against Million
Man

To the Editor:

Why must every thing be considered
racist? Why is everything black vs.
white? ASUBA wrote an article, printed
in the Oct.13 edition of Albany Student
Press, which glorified the Million Man
March. Why justify it? Why make a big
deal of it? If people want to have a con-
gregation in Washington to give speeches

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

and feel a sense of unity, that is fine.
Why must it be for solely black people,,,
no,,, rather only black men? Why must a
“day” be set aside for such a thing?
There is really little significance in call-

ing Oct.16,1995 a “National Day of

Atonement” for all people of African
ancestry. My point is that if it were
called a “White” Million man march and
a day named for it, black people would be
outraged. The same stands for SUNY
cable station, channel 25. If there was a
channel named white entertainment tele-
vision instead of BET, problems would
follow with Farrakhan and Sharpton
ready to fight most assuredly. I am not a
racist. I grew up in a mixed community
and respect people for who they are. I’m
also sorry if I have offended anyone but it
makes me upset to think that something
as simple as a march needs to taken so
sensitively and in such racist ways.
Maybe if Rev. Al and Farrakhan came
out from behind those bullet proof barri-
ers and bodyguards, tensions would ease,
and blacks and whites could be more

would use this money strictly to offset the
tuition and dorm fee hikes. Second, I
wanted to know why, when this refinanc-

ing plan was offered to him during budget

negotiations, he refused to use it to miti-
gate the hit to SUNY and its students.

Governor Pataki had his fingertips the
opportunity to hold down the cost
increases that are now threatening the
ability of working New Yorkers to afford
a college education and SUNY’s arrival
as an institution.

Measures approved by PACB must be
passed unanimously. You have my assur-
ance that I will not approve this refinanc-
ing plan until the Governor guarantees
that this money will go toward ensuring a
SUNY education remains affordable.

Blasting Ad

To the Editor:

I am writing in response to a newspaper
ad which appeared in the ASP on October
10. The ad depicts a woman, a “former

N

understanding of each other. Maybe, I
don’t know.

More Hikes

To the Editor:

I recently criticized Governor Pataki’s
refusal to mitigate this year’s SUNY
tuition and dormitory fee hikes. I was
shocked to discover that the $1000 per
semester average hike forced so many
SUNY students and their families to bear
was, in fact, unnecessary.

I learned. this information as a member
of the Public Authority Control Board
(PACB), which approves and oversees
public authority and state agency borrow-
ing. Last week I was asked to approve a
Governor-backed measure allowing the
Dormitory Authority (DA) to refinance
SUNY dorm bonds. The Governor want-
ed the DA to take advantage of the mar-
ket’s lower interest rates and raise $22
million in revenues over the next two
years.

Sounds like a good plan-but I voted no-
for a few reasons. First, I wanted reassur-
ances from the Governor that SUNY

“If there was a channel named white entertain-
ment television, instead of BET, problems
would follow with Farrakhan and Sharpton...”

lesbian,” and presents evident misconcep-
tions about lesbian identity.

The ad implies that (1) lesbian identity
is caused by experiences of childhood
sexual abuse; (2) same sex relationships
cannot be as loving or fulfilling as their
heterosexual counterparts; (3) all lesbian
individuals have underlying pathologies
or needs that, if “healed,” will result in
them choosing a heterosexual lifestyle.

These misconceptions have no scientif-
ic basis and unfortunately are very harm-
ful. Indeed such misconceptions form the
basis for social injustice and negative
stereotypes that cause injury to lesbian,
gay and bi-sexual individuals and ulti-
mately to all of us.

We at the UCC are available to offer
support and a range of counseling ser-
vices to students who experience harass-
ment and/or discrimination.

VIEWPOINT
Continued from previous page

Neither she nor I would have been
invited to the Million Man March. Never-

theless, that was my ultimate experience
of the March on Washington. After that I
got so caught up in the momentousness of
the thing that I spent the rest of the morn-
ing taking pictures, and by the time King
approached the microphone, I was horri-
fied to find that I had run out of film. I
stood to see if there might be some kind
of kiosk around, and when someone
asked me to get out of the way, I began

_ Stumbling back through the rapt and

peaceable crowd of blacks and whites as
King’s dream trumpeted from the loud-
speakers.

I sometimes tell myself I followed at
least some of his speech, may even have
paused now and then and cheered with
the crowd. But my distraction seems to
me so stupid and so shameful now that
I’m afraid I made that up. ;

Continued from previous page

parents bit simply “heed” them. This
modest change would give small comfort
to American teenagers addicted to MTV.

It eliminates all references to “dark- -
ness” that are equated with sin, evil or
ignorance because darkness, they claim,
is associated with dark-skinned people,
who, as a result, have been called darkies.

The editors of the New Testament also
attempt to exorcise references to Jews as
unbelievers, especially in the Gospel of
John, to “minimize what could be per-
ceived as a warrant for anti-Jewish bias.”
Shades of misguided efforts to censor
Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice.”

Inclusiveness in a society or in a reli-
gious community is a virtue, but where is
the evidence for the claim that the Judeo-
Christian Scriptures have lacked universal
appeal? Luke 4:18 proclaims “release to
the captives and recovery of sight to the
blind, to set at liberty those who are
oppressed,” reflecting the words of Isaiah.

The Bible necessarily reflects the patri-
archal times in which it was written, but
the Old and New Testaments include
abundant references to strong and virtu-
ous women, and the message of compas-
sion and redemption is clearly addressed
to them as well as to men.

Somehow the Bible has managed to get
through to men and women, to the lame
and the blind, to slaves and slaveholders,
and those of every clime and color, as
today’s 2.8 billion biblical believers
attest. é

_Tampering with these historic and
revered texts in the name of a current fad
is an insult to history and an affront to
Christians and Jews.

one subject or another. lam trying
to think of a topic and that is why
this seems so pointless so far. Well,
this weekend is parents weekend. It
is also alumni weekend. This is
pretty cool for me because my
daddy is not only a parent (because
he is my daddy) but, he is an alumni
(yes, of SUNYA). He is really excit-
ed to be coming up this year
because he just joined the alumni
association. You might see him.on
campus, he’ll be the one showing
you his alumni membership card.
This card also entitles him to a mug.
Can | just tell you how important this
mug is to him. He is going to trea-
sure this mug almost as much as his
wedding album pictures. My mom,
on the other hand, thinks of it as one
more ugly mug to find room for in
the cupboard. But, | was thinking
about solving both of their problems
and buying my daddy a trophy case
to put his mug in. But then again,
where would we put it. My mom
would flip if we put it in the living
room. Whatever. | can’t even
remember what | am talking about
anymore. If you remember, please
tell me. Anyway, this weekend
should be nice. The parade is sup-
posed to be awesome. Good Luck
with all the plans Eric B. | hope

everything goes off without a hitch.
Everyone come out and watch the

Haggling over budget continues in DC

(CPS)—wWith a vote on the fed-
eral budget expected later this
month, Republicans and Demo-
crats continue to battle over a
GOP plan to cut $10 billion from
higher education funding, while
students nationwide try to orga-
nize against the cuts.

“This is probably the most crit-
ical time,” says Jeannette Gala-
nis, president of the United
States Student Association. “Stu-
dents are seeing what could hap-
pen to their loans and grants if
the process continues.”

Committees in the Senate and
the House each voted last month
to cut more than $10 billion out
of the student loan bud~et. The

Senate version eliminates the

interest subsidy on student loans
after graduation, charges schools
a 0.85 percent fee for their total
student loan volume, and caps
the direct lending program at 20
percent.

Meanwhile, the House plan
differs in two important ways. It
avoids a student loan surcharge
for colleges, but eliminates the
direct lending program alto-
gethe,r.

The debate has left many stu-
dents concerned about their edu-
cational futures. “I can’t imagine
owing any more money than I do
right now; said Rich Dovell, a
University of Wisconsin-White-
water sophomore. “I just
wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

Dovell is not alone. A recent
report from the American Coun-
cil on Education indicates that
student borrowing, $24 billion in
1995, will increase to $50 billion
by the year 2000

Sen. Paul Simon, (D-III.), one
of the architects of the direct
lending bill, said the battle lines
are Clear.

“This is a classic confrontation
between the interests of students
and the public on one hand, and
a well funded special interest
group on the other,” said Simon.
“The lenders in the guaranteed
student loan program are fighting
hard to protect their lucrative
federal subsidies and to get as
much of a monopoly as this

Congress is willing to give
them.”

Mark Clayton, spokesperson
for the Coalition For Student
Loan Reform, an organization
made up of loan guarantee agen-
cies, said that lenders are suffer-
ing as much as students. “We’re
all going to have to deal with
dramatically lower operating
costs,” Clayton said. “But we’ ll
do it as long as the cuts remain
small for students.”

Clayton said that the Senate

_ Republicans can eliminate the

0.85 charge on colleges if they
follow the House’s lead and dis-
continue the direct lending pro-
gram. “What’s more important,
direct lending or a campus tax?”

Clayton said. “This is a time to
make tough choices.”

‘The U.S.S.A’s Galanis dis-
agrees. “Cutting a program that
students and schools declare a
success should not be an option,”
she said.

Simon said that he will try to
reduce the $10.8 billion to $4.4
billion when the budget comes
up for approval on the Senate
floor.

(Republicans) are taking the
choice away from colleges and
ending the competition that has
benefitted students,” he said,
adding that money could be
saved by reducing the $245 bil-
lion tax cut that Republicans
have proposed.

Football victory celebration turns violent as police intervene

(CPS)-It seems beating Notre
Dame’s football team is still rea-
son enough to celebrate—or so it
was for Ohio State fans.

After Ohio State University’s
45-26 pounding of the Fighting
Irish Sept. 30, Columbus police

_arrested 47 people—16 of them
students—after football fanatics
took over a one-block stretch of
East 12th Avenue in Columbus
to celebrate the victory.

The late-night revelers set
more than 20 fires in the middle
of the street and continually pelt-
ed police with rocks and bottles,
according to Columbus Police
Commander Steve Gammill.

“People were dragging every-
thing you could think of out into
the street and setting it on fire,”
Gammill said. “And when the
firefighters came to put out the
fires, they were hit with bottles.
Then when the police came to
protect the firefighters, they were
hit with bottles, too.”

Gammill said police would
help extinguish the fires, use tear
gas to disperse the crowds then
leave, fearing that their contin-
ued presence would only incite
students. But each time they left,
they were forced to return.

“We were back there six
times,” Gammill said. “It was
getting out of hand.”

Continued from front page

the workplace violence scene.
Some 260,000 women are vic-
tims of workplace violence annu-
ally, according to the U.S. Justice
Department.

According to Catherine
O’Reilly Collette, director of
AFSCME’s Women’s Rights
Department, most violence at the
workplace is preventable. “The
violence that occurs in the work-
place is senseless and could
often be prevented if only the
employer would take adequate
precautions. These precautions
need not be costly, but they do
require a long term commit-
ment to safety.” |

College pays for student’s tuition after false accusation

After falsely accusing a Boston
high school student of phoning
in a bomb threat to a local hospi-
tal, the New York telephone
company is offering to pay for
the student’s college tuition.

Less than 12 hours after the
bombing in Oklahoma City, a
Boston 911 operator reported
receiving a telephone call warn-
ing that a bomb would explode
in 12 hours at Boston City Hos-
pital.

After tracking the call through

NYNEX, Boston’s phone service
provider, police quickly arrested
18 year-old Walter Ray Hill, a
junior at Cathedral High School,
in connection with the case.

by a NYNEX employee, who
told them the phone call was
traced to a number at Hill’s resi-
dence. :

When police went to°Hill’s
apartment complex, they said
they talked to two
women who said
they heard Hill
speaking on a
portable phone the
previous night, a
few minutes after
midnight. This
coincided with the
time of the bomb
threat, and police
returned with a
warrant for Hill’s
arrest the next

morning.

Hill, who maintained his inno-
cence throughout his arrest, was
held in lieu of $20,000 bond and
spent two days in prison at the
Nashua Street Jail. His arrest was

publicized throughout the city
and touted by both Boston’s
mayor and police chief as an
example of how serious the city
would treat those who made

bomb threats.

Field hockey just Keeps on winning

By Eric DAGNALL
Senior Editor

The late season surge continued
for the University at Albany Field
Hockey team with three wins and
one tie in the past four games.
Overall, the Lady Danes are
unbeaten in their last eight games
and have an impressive 9-3-1
record.

A big key to the streak has
been Albany’s defense. The
defense has held tough the past
four games, allowing only two
goals. They have held the opposi-
tion scoreless in three of the
games, winning two and tying the
other.

This past Tuesday, Albany held
off a strong Westfield State squad
in a thrilling game that came right
down to the wire.

In the first half, Albany came
out of the gate shooting. Angela

Soteriou scored twice to put the
Lady Danes up 2-0.

However, in the second half,
the Owl’s offense awoke. Robyn
DeAngelis took a nice pass from
Tara Rosata and beat Marucci.
With one minute remaining,
Brenda Berthiaume shot beat
Marucci for the tying goal.

It looked like it was going to
end up a tie, but Albany had one
last offensive spurt left in them.
With ten seconds left, Shannon
Hartz fed Kim Lent on a penalty
corner. Lent made a sweet pass to
sophomore Meredith Jackel who
wasted no time in putting the ball
past goalie Karen Pawlishen. The
goal came with five seconds
remaining.

On October 15, freshman
Nicole Berman goal in overtime
proved to be the winner in a
defensive struggle against Mans-

field. In a game where the defens-

es were so tough it was ironic that
Berman scored on a breakaway.
With six minutes remaining in
overtime, Berman broke free of
the defense, and went solo into
the Mansfield circle. Berman loft-

ed a shot over the head of a help-

less Melissa Ehrlacher. The goal
was Berman’s fifth of the season.
Freshman Jessica Marucci was
solid in goal notching three saves
for Albany in recording her sixth
shutout of the season. Her save
percentage for the season is .821.
However, Marucci’s goals against
average fell to an impressive .73.
Elms College was the next vic-
tim on Albany’s list. Sophomore
Christina Yang scored the lone
goal of the game (her second of
the season) in a 1-0 victory for

the Lady Danes. With 17 minutes -

left in the game, Soteriou blasted
a shot towards Elms goalkeeper
Tammy Landon. Landon was
able to block the shot but couldn’t
hold onto the ball. Yang pounced
on the rebound and sent the ball
flying into the lower left corner of
the goal.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti-
tute traveled. into Albany for a
game Oct. 21. Torrential down-
pours made it difficult for either
side to really get into a flow. As
the field got muddier, footing also
became a problem. With 17:58
left to play, the game was halted
due to unplayable conditions. No
team was able to score in a score-
less tie.

The Lady Danes finish up their
season tomorrow as they travel to

Massachusetts-Lowell for a 1

p.m. game.

In the second period, the
Crunch went up 2-1 on the
power play as McIntyre scored
his second goal of the game. At
8:36, Albany tied the score at
two when center Petr Sykora

slapshot off the left post and
into the net. The 2-2 score held
up through the rest of the period

The third period was com-

pletely dominated by the
Crunch, as they scored four
- goals in the first five minutes of
the period. At 1:04 left winger
Lonny Bohonos found a loose
puck to the right of Schwab,
and lifted a backhander through
a mass of skaters that had gath-

3-2 lead. Two and a half min-
utes later, Syracuse moved
ahead by two goals as right
winger Bogdan Savenko slid a
pass across the crease to
defenseman John Namestnikov,
who directed it in. Syracuse
scored their fifth and sixth goals
at the 4:42 and 4:57 marks to
blow open the game. The fifth
goal was scored on a three on
two breakaway by Bohonos, for
his second goal of the game.
The last goal was poked in by
Crunch center Rod Stevens off
a scramble in front of the Rats
net. This goal capped off a
major flurry by the Crunch
which, after the five minute
mark, left them with a four goal
lead. They held this lead for the
remainder of the period as they
took the game 6-2. The final
shots in the game were 32-30
in favor of Syracuse as they
succeeded in climbing into sole

Last Friday, the Albany River
Rats traveled to Worcester to
take on the IceCats. Worcester
spoiled Albany’s attempt for two
points as they defeated the Rats
6-3. Fred Knipscheer scored a
hat trick and Eric Fichaud made
37 saves in outstanding efforts
for the IceCats.

On Saturday, the Rats traveled
back home to take on the
Rochester Americans. Albany
took control of play early in the
game, unleashing numerous
shots on Rochester’s goaltender
Robb Stauber. The Rats scored
the first goal at 11:33 when
Bobby House took a pass from
Steve Sullivan behind the Amer-
icans’ net. He proceeded in skat-
ing out to the left faceoff circle,
and lifted a weak backhander
towards the goal. The puck went
through the defenseman‘s legs as
well as Stauber’s pads for a 1-0
Rats lead.

In the second period, Cale
Hulse scored a power play goal
at 10:22 to give the Rats a 2-0
lead. This goal came as Rats
defenseman Brad Bombadir
unloaded a hard shot that Hulse
was able to tip between the goal-

Lisa Greiner on Wednesday due
to injuries. Starting for the Danes
were Klebieko, Diana Nick,
Tashi Campbell—Tulloch,
Rafaela Nikas, Jackie Sanchez,

slow start, but a dig by the
sophomore setter, Nick, with an
assist by Soyan Mui and a
Sanchez kill gave the Danes a
sideout at 3-6. Sanchez four

the year. Rochester cut the lead
in half, on the power play, at the
twelve minute mark when Terry
Hollinger fired a high slapshot
past Mike Dunham. Albany
regained its two goal lead when
Steve Brule was able to find a
rebound in front of the Ameri-
cans’ net and slide it by Stauber
at the 15:53 mark. The Rats pos-
sessed a 3-1 lead and a 27-15
shot advantage as this period
ended.

In the third period, Albany had
a five on three power play with
under five minutes left in the
game, and capitalized as Patrik
Elias flipped the puck over a
downed Stauber. Stauber went
down to block Hulse’s original
point shot which went wide of
the net, but bounced off the
boards and right to Elias’ stick.
Rochester made it close with a
little under two minutes remain-
ing as center Jay Mazur fired a
one timer over Dunham’s right
shoulder. But Albany played
strong defense after that last
goal, and sealed their victory by
scoring an empty net goal by Bill
Armstrong with four seconds left
to play. The River Rats had fin-
ished off an impressive win by

Rats were hoping to boost them-

were both sent down on a short
conditioning stint, would lead
them to victory.
