Long debate leads to SA budget for 96-97

By KEVIN DEVALK
Associate News Editor

Central Council met in special session
Monday night to approve the Student
Association budget for the 1996-1997 aca-
demic year. Council debated for three-and-
a—half hours and approved the budgets for
the 67 SA recognized and funded organi-
zations, Dippikill, and various departments
within SA.

The council meeting was the last meet-
ing of the 1995-1996 year. Monday’s
meeting was the last meeting conducted
entirely by Chairman Michael J. Castrilli,
who was elected president of SA last
week.

The budget for each group was based on
estimated budgets submitted to SA by
each group. SA’s budget committee, head-
ed by Committee Chairman Jason Kass,
then reviewed the requests and made mod-
ifications, giving groups time to appeal the
modifications. Next year’s overall final
budget is valued between $1 and $1.5 mil-
lion.

Sixteen groups were given permission to
appeal their budgets before SA, but none
did, which made the budget approval
process move quicker than last year. \

Most groups’ budgets were passed with
little debate, and council did not approve
any motions to change any non—depart-
mental group’s appropriation, as decided
by the committee.

The amount of money most SA groups
receive from SA must be supplemented by
the group’s raising of an income level,
which is normally set at around 25% of
SA’s appropriation. This means groups
have to raise a certain amount of money to

match SA funds.

Some groups are expected to raise sub-
stantial amounts of money in income level,
due to the fact they are known to program
financially successful events, in the form
of ticket sales and related items. There-
fore, SUNYA’s yearbook, The Torch, for
instance, must raise $50,000 in book sales
to supplement the $29,000 they will
receive from SA.

The majority of the debate that occurred
surrounded the issue of a proposed raise in
stipend for a number of key SA leaders.

Castrilii said during last year’s budget
meeting, which took a marathon 13—hours
due to a series of lengthy appeals by stu-
dent groups, pay for several SA officials
was cut by $250. He said this was done in
the early hours of the morning, so council
could balance the budget and conclude the
meeting.

Castrilli however noted this year that SA
officials need the money they received
because they don’t have the time to get
jobs that other students have, and most SA
officials are required to reside in ig
for the summer.

This year, the council voted to sive a
raise of $200 a year for key SA directors,
and $100 a year for assistants.

Parts of these funds will be deducted
from the budgets of Central Council and
Copies Plus, among other places. The SA
directors that will get a raise a raise of
$200 a year will be the transportation
director, who will make $1,200 next year;
the Central Council vice chair, the LGBI
director, and the Affirmative Action direc-
tor, are who will make $2,200 next year;
and Women’s issues Director, Program-

NUMBER 36

Hitchcock appointed president of SUNYA

Former interim says she will look to alleviate budget cuts

By SUSAN CRAINE
News Editor '

Interim President Karen R. Hitchcock
was appointed President of the University
at Albany, by the State University of New
York Board of Trustees.

Hitchcock was named Interim Presi-

dent of the University in August when .

previous President H. Patrick Swygert
vacated the position to become president
of Howard University in Washington
D.C.

Hitchcock came to SUNYA in 199] as
the Vice President of Academic Affairs
and Professor (Leading) of Biological
Science.

In an interview with the Times Union
on Wednesday, Hitchcock said her first
concern was to seek out possibilities in
the private business world in order to
alleviate some of the proposed financial
cuts.

She said, “If I have a passion about
universities, it’s that they have to be
deeply involved in their communities.”

Hitchcock also suggested the Universi-
ty may consider investing in some key
academic programs at the expense of oth-
ers.

“No institution, in times of fiscal strain,
can be all things to all people. You reach
a point where, if the cuts are large enough
that you can’t keep doing what you’ve
been.doing. You have to ask,‘what would
we invest in?’” she said.

The new president.
Hitchcock said she was in favor of the

university deciding itself how much a
tuition hike should be, which is one of the
proposed plans by SUNY.

She said, “It cost more to educate an
undergraduate here,” she said. Hitchcock
pointed out that a university center, like
Albany, has a lot of overhead due to such
things as research and graduate training.

However, Hitchcock pointed out since
there is no fiscal budget from the state
yet, all plans being considered are still
uncertain.

Hitchcock earned her BS in Biology at
St. Lawrence University, in Canton, New
York in 1964, and her Ph.D in Anatomy
at the University at Rochester School of
Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester,
New York in 1969.

New Central Council chairs voted in

By KEVIN DEVALK
Associate News Editor

Central Council held its first meeting
for the 1996-1997 session Wednesday.
New council members were sworn in, and

a chairperson and vice chairperson were °

elected.

Council also sf aret the swearing-in
of Former Chairman Michael Castrilli as
Student Association president, and Affir-
mative Action Director Ashish Prabhakar
as vice president.

After almost an hour and a half of ques-
tions and debate, council member Steven
Schwab was elected chairman. After get-
ting up to shake people’s hands, Schwab
took over Castrilli’s position immediate-
ly, to move into the next item on the
agenda, the swearing in of Castrilli as
president.

Schwab’s said his selling points were
his experience on council, his activism in
the Student Safety Patrol, and his wish to
create an SA ethics policy, among other
factors.

According to SA policy, candidates for
the chair and vice chair position must be
elected by a two-thirds majority by coun-
cil members. The other candidates for
chair were fellow council members
Samantha Hiotakis and Chris Giambrone.
After the first election failed to produce a
majority winner, a run-off was held
between Schwab and Hiotakis, which
Schwab won.

Hiotakis, who ran for both positions of
chair and vice chair, said SA officials
should remember they are there simply to
serve the students. “We’re not these

‘ serve them,”

almighty people, we are just there to
she said.
Castrilli was then administered the

2 presidential oath by. Supreme Court Jus-
. tice, Garrett Zito. After a round of

applause and a brief intermission, when-
Castrilli exchanged hugs and handshakes

‘with council members, Prabhakar was
> sworn in with a similar reception.

Before reading the oath to Prabhakar,
Zito joked, “It is now my pleasure ‘to
‘legalize’ Ashish.” :

After a little over two hours of question
and debate, council member Neil Freilich
was elected vice chair. The initial election
involving five candidates failed to pro-
duce a majority winner. Three run-off
elections between Freilich and council
member Dori Travieso failed to produce a
majority winner, but Freilich won on the
fourth run-off.

Concerning the budget cuts, Schwab
said, “I know we’ ve done well (in protest-
ing) this year, but we can do a lot better.”
Schwab also said council members should
meet and have a relationship with Albany
lawmakers before budget cuts are
announced. Schwab said that way council
members will be able to give lawmakers
advice on what to do.

Freilich said one goal he has as vice
chair is to challenge the telephone
monopoly ACC has on campus, and the
monopoly University Auxiliary Services
has over food operation. «5

During debate, Media ‘Bicceer Harry
Rubenstein said Freilich’s attitude about
student government is, “There is no try,
only do.” Rubenstein also said, “He’s a
cute kid, and he’s really dedicated.”

SUNY card is coming to SUNYA

By MICHELE TRACY
Staff Writer

To answer questions
about the new SUNY card,
the University Director of
Business Department, Julia
Filippone, gave a personal
interview to correct any
misunderstandings about
the card.

She said the depart-
ment’s main goal is to offer
students, faculty, and staff
special discount service
rates, and to generate extra
funds for the University.

The card will merge the
current ID, library, meal,
and podium cards into a
single card, and will also
offer access to University
vending machines.

To ensure the improve-
ment of campus security,

the card will also replace
exterior door keys. Filip-
pone said said this does not
mean students will be
“electronically tracked.”
The only possible time it
be used in a “tracking man-
ner,” would be in the case
of a University crime.

The actual instillation of
the building access project
will be installed during the
summer, and the card is
expected to be functional
around August 15, 1996.

The card also offers a
special “on-campus” and
“off campus” feature. It
can be used as a confiden-
tial Citibank debit card,
and MCI calling card.
Money can be deposited,
or withdrawn from the card
by means of an ATM.

Filippone said relations

between the customers and
MCT, Citibank are strictly
confidential. According to
Federal Banking Laws, the
University cannot receive
any information on the
transactions used with the

SUNY Card.

According to Filipone,
SUNY Central negotiated a
business relationship with
Citibank and MCI in order
to provide low “group buy-
ing” service rates that are
normally unavailable to
students, faculty and staff.

The University too, will
benefit from the new sys-
tem. 25% of the total
monthly billed card usage,
and 10% of the University
Dial One monthly billed
usage, will go directly to
the University.

Anxiety is a symptom of
underlying concern, worry

or fear. All of us have:

experienced feelings of

anxiety at one time or-

another for any number of
reasons; taking a test, giv-
ing a speech,

Middle asking for a
Earth date, going

on a date,
Roots asking for a
raise, the list
goes on and on. These anx-
iety-producing situations
can often involve taking a
personal risk; you could be
rejected, wrong or unac-
cepted.

It is important to iden-
tify your feelings of anxi-
ety and the causes for these
feelings. Think about the
situation you were or will
be in and ask yourself what
is it about that particular
event that is making you
uneasy. Is it the situation

Students suffer from anxiety

itself or the people in it? Is
there something you want
to say but don’t know
how? Are you participat-
ing in an activity just to
please someone else? It
could be something quite
small that, for whatever
reason, bothers you; the

important thing is to iden-.

tify the source of your anx-
iety sO you Can move on
and deal with it in the

most effective way you
can. Anxiety is often a

build-up of “unfinished |

business” we need take
care of but would rather
avoid. Take actions to tie
up any loose ends and you
may find that your anxiety
level decreases dramatical-
ly.

If anxiety persists, you
may be one of 28 million
Americans who have an
anxiety disorder; in fact,
about one quarter of the

adult population will suffer
from an anxiety disorder
at some point in their lives.
Clinicians recognize about
12 relatively district sub-
types (i.e. social phobia,
agoraphobia, etc.) of anxi-
ety disorder.

Although anxiety is
highly treatable, very few
people actually seek out
the help they need. This
coming Wednesday, May
Ist, is National Anxiety
Disorders Screening Day.
There will be an informa-
tion table in the Campus
Center lobby on that day
from 10:00-3 :00pm. Also,
confidentiall anxiety
screenings will be offered
in room 375 of the Campus
Center. Also, the Universi-
ty Counseling Center is
available for consultation
and counseling of anxiety
disorders and can~- be
reached at 442-5800. .

On Saturday, April 20th, a number of
Jewish students convened at Chapel
House to remember the millions of Jews

murdered by the Nazi party during World ~

War II.

This memorial service is known as Yon
HaShoah, which was expressly created
after the war to mourn the millions of
Jews who were murdered. The meeting
was held outdoors on Chapel House
grounds, and several blessings were sung
by the participants and leaders of the con-
gregation.

The congregants then paused for a

moment of silence during the memorial
service. However, Scott Newmann, one of
the group leaders and head of a campus
Jewish group named Reform University at
Albany Chavurah (Ruach), said many
Jews should also celebrate “life” during
this service.

Newmann said, “my rabbi has a party
after Yom HaShoah ceremony to celebrate
life...the Nazis did not succeed in their

plans to exterminate the Jewish people,”

and said this fact alone is a reason to cele-
brate.

The service was also lead by Stewart
Botwinick, who is also active with on
campus Jewish organizations.

The political science
honors society, Pi Sigma

Alpha, conducted a poll

during the first week of

Mareh‘in an attempt to find
out what issues students at
the University at Albany
found the most pressing.
The poll, taken only in
political science classes,
showed 60% of the stu-
dents felt that preparation
for obtaining employment
for the main role a univer-
sity is supposed to play in
a student’s life, but 80%
felt SUNYA was only

‘somewhat performing this

role for the student body.
While a majority of the
poll questioned students
about how they felt about
the proposed budget cuts,
students were also asked to
answer questions about
cultural divisions on the
campus. According to the

-poll 60% of the students

felt that SUNYA was to a
great degree divided cul-

- turally, and 54% felt this

was mostly a bad thing.

Arianna Frankl, presi-
dent of Pi Sigma Alpha
said one ofthe motivations
for the poll. was to find out
if the separation she
observed on SUNYA’s
campus was real.

Poll indicates all at SUNY is not sunny

“IT was astounded by the
separateness that existed
on this campus, and this
poll shows that there are
divisions on this campus,”
she said.

Frankl also said that
many of the students asked
to answer the poll in the
classes chose to not to
answer at all.

“We found that the
biggest answer was not to
answer at all...we’ve con-
cluded that the apathy
everyone talks about really
exists. There is such ‘a big
difference between what
people complain about,
and what they are willing
to do something about.”

College education or a life of skiing: a question many college students seem to be asking themselves

(CPS) Scottie, some call him
Scooter, used to be a college stu-
dent. Now he spends his morn-
ings tackling the powder of Tel-
luride mountain, and when the
ski season ends, he’ll thunder
around the same peak on his
mountain bike. Resort towns
from Telluride, Colo. to*Manch-
ester. Vt.. are riddled with ex-
students like Scottie Wetzberger,
for whom a college education
could not compete with a life of
skiing, biking. hiking and free-
dom. .

“I was going to Fort Lewis
College in Durango (Colo.) for
about a year and a half,” Scottie
says. “Then one December I
decided to take off a semester to
go to Telluride and ski. I

promised my parents I’d go to
summer school to make it up.”
Summer came but Scottie never
went. Fall came, and he still was
in Telluride. “That was seven
years ago.”

In the afternoons, Scottie, 26,
works as a coach for the Tel-
luride Bump Club, a juvenile ski
team. That way he gets his sea-
sonal ski pass. worth up to
$1200, for free.

“Ski during the day, work at
night,” says Andrew Dunbar in

ideal.” :

When Will Hawkins graduated
from Auburn University last
year, he decided to take a year
off in Breckenridge before going
to. law school. Hawkins says he
was beset by guilt pangs. “I felt
like I was shunning reality.” Still
he decided to have some fun
before embarking on three years
of law school.

Hawkins snagged a position as
a ski lift operator on Brecken-

ridge’s Peak 8 and skis up and
down the mountain as part of his
job. “This is a heck of an experi-
ence,” he says. “Once I get to
law school, that will be the real
world.”

Ken Keeley, of Salt Lake City,
was a junior at the University of
Rhode Island when he headed
west for the resort life. He grew
up in Vermont and had been ski-
ing since eighth grade. “Origi-
nally I went to Jackson, Wyo.
But then I headed up to Alaska
to work in the canneries to make
money to be a ski bum.”

But his plans for dereliction
were thwarted by parental pres-
sure to get a college education.
He enrolled at the University of -
Utah and half-heartedly pursued
a history degree. “I took the easi-
est courses I could find— semi-
nar classes -with 300 people, so if
you missed a day to ski no one
noticed.”

He earned his degree but kept
his ski-bum lifestyle.

when people ask you how the job search is

These may be the warning signs that as

unprepared to sign up for 40 years of hard
labor in Corporate America.

But what other options do you have?
Taking up to a year for “floundering time”

their breath after college or figure out a
career path, says Elizabeth Tener of Smith
College.

Many students, for whatever reasons,
whether they’re burned out after college or
whether they want to try something before
they get locked into a position that doesn’t
offer much flexibility, choose to postpone
the job search,” says Donna Crouch, asso-
ciate director of Career Planning and
Placement at the University of Georgia in
Athens.

There is no way to track how many new
grads take time off after graduation or how
many simply haven’t found the right job.
Consider that among 1995 college, gradu-

| ates, only 40 percent reported having jobs
_ at graduation, six months later, 10 percent
were still unemployed, according to
_Michigan State University’s National

Employment Survey of College Grads.

students choosing to take time after gradu-
ation follow a plan. They say without a lit-
| tle structure, a little time off can turn into
a permanent and career-crippling condi-
‘tion.

¢ Have an idea of what you want to

can give some students the chance to catch:

Still, career counselors recommend that .

Graduation is only the beginning of the search for a career

accomplish during this time.

“First I try to determine why a student
actually wants to delay a job search” says
Crouch. “Is it for grad school? Or personal
reasons? Or because he just isn’t sure what
career he wants to pursue? If it is a valid
reason, there are some things a student can
do that will help make him or her more
marketable.”

Crouch says students must decide how
long they want to put everything off then
make a plan. “The most important thing is
that they should not abandon the job
search totally,” she says.

Throughout the postponement, new
grads should continue to keep up with |
employment trends, particularly: in the
geographic areas they may eventually
want to work, Crouch says. In addition,
she recommends grads develop a list of
networking contacts and continue to work
on their professional development,
whether it be by taking a computer class
or attending a workshop in their profes-
sion.

They also should have their resumes
updated and a list of potential employers
ready, then build in plenty of time for the
job search, she says.

¢ Impose some kind of time limit. Brian
Murray, a 1995 New York University
grad, says when he was asked by people if
this season in the ski resort town of
Killington, Vt., was his first spent working
there, his reply was always the same:
“Yep, and last.”

The film major took a job teaching chil-
dren to ski after he spent a frustrating
summer trying to land a job in advertising.

FOUNTAIN WEEK WOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN A SUCCESS
WITHOUT You!!


COILUWIN

A number of American corporations, the Wall
Street Journal reported last year, are trying to rein-
force the “owner mentality” of their executives by
requiring them to buy stock in the companies they
manage:

Richard Harwood

:

“Their fortunes (will) rise and fall with the value
they are creating for shareholders.”

I’m unaware of any compulsory stock- purchase
plans for newspaper editors, but similar results are
produced by stock awards and options. They have
made a lot of editors rich, and have sensitized even
more of them to the ups and downs of Wall Street:

This is troublesome to various students of the
news business, including Bill Kovach, a former
journalist who is now curator of the Nieman Foun-
dation. “Salaries, expense accounts, and stock
options,’”’ he writes in Nieman Reports, “have
made editors part of the economic elite. The Amer-
ican Society of Newspaper Editors was founded to
represent the interests of the newsroom against the
publishers’ power. Today, of more than 800 active
members, nearly 200 are owners, publishers or

the news department and vice president of the
company.”

The context for his observation is the current
controversy over newspaper profits and “downsiz-
ing” in newsrooms. The unspoken question is: Are
executives at the big publicly owned news corpora-
tions slashing newsroom budgets to preserve the
profit margins that feather their nests?

There is no doubt, as Kovach says, that we are
creating in America an upper class of journalists
who in their incomes, personal lives and outlooks
are far removed from the mass audiences they pur-
port to serve. The median salary for a big-city
newspaper editor in 1994 - not counting expense
accounts, stock options, and other perks - was
roughly 10 times greater than the earnings of the
average American worker. The millionaire in the
newsroom is no longer a fantasy, and if you throw
into the mix TV newspeople, columnists and lec-
ture circuit artists, you’ve got enough plutocrats to
fill a balli >m. If they have not yet acquired the

“owner meuiality,” they certainly have realized the
promises of capitalism.

The companies that employ them -. Tribune,
Times-Mirror, New York Times, Gannett, Dow
Jones, Knight-Ridder and The Washington Post
Co., among others - are capitalist to the core, val-
ued individually in the billions of dollars. Their
stocks trade on the big exchanges of New York,
where their officers are familiar figures to the ana-
lysts. Their shareholders now include speculators
and institutional gnvestors - public-employee pen-
sion funds, for example - as well as their own

CEOs. Even more carry double titles as editor of

Tips for Good Governing

_ Finally, and luckily, the sun has begun to rise for the Stu-
dent Association. This is not the sun that was nowhere to be
seen on Fountain Day, but the new Student Association
president, Mike Castrilli. It’s as if the curtain has finally
fallen on the cireus that was, is, and always will be Larry
Kauffman, and the SA has a new lease on life.

Although Castrilli has a definite “politician-esque” side
to him, he is by no means representative of the sad and
prevalent stupidity of the last administration. This does not
mean that Castrilli is the “anybody” from the saying “any-
body would be better.” Not only is Castrilli better, but he is
currently the best the Student Association has to offer.

The people who need Castrilli’s offerings now are not the
students because they neither care nor are all that affected
by a change in administration. But the Student Association
itself needs a head on its shoulders that is more of a leader
than an incompetent. If Castrilli can fill the role of this
strong leadership of which the SA is desperately in need,
then perhaps it will reach a new high of student service. But
as the old saying goes, anything is better than Larry.

Yet the road ‘to improving the Student Association is not
as easy as just moving someone new into an office. There
are several issues that Castrilli can’t overlook as he moves

into his new position. As in life, we all learn from experi- ©

ence. That is also the case with the student government.

employees, executives and officers. Collectively,
| they also have huge television and cable holdings.
They own magazines, book publishing houses,
paper mills, esoteric electronic enterprises and, in
addition to their flagships, a great many newspa-
pers. And they are targets in the “downsizing”
controversy.

Kovach quotes the late Robert Hutchins of the
University of Chicago: “If the soliloquy (of the
journalist) is that of one of the richest men in town,
it is more than likely that it will sound the same
political note as other soliloquies in other towns,
rendered by other rich men.’

Everything is Connected

It’s been quite a year for Israel. The prime minister

assassinated; suicide bombers striking everywhere, and °

now another war in Lebanon. This is how we pursue
peace in the Middle East. The assassinated prime minis-
ter famously said, “We shall negotiate as if there were
no terror, and we shall fight terror as if there were no
negotiations.” In fact, the opposite is true: Israel is
negotiating because there was and is terror; and is fight-
ing terror in order to-retain the political clout to pursue
negotiations. In a place with as tangled a web of history
as this, no one action, no one pronouncement, stands
alone. Everything is contextual: Everything is connect-

| Amy Wilentz

And the context today is the Israeli elections. Elec-
tions are the key to understanding the code. Hezbollah’s
Katyusha rocket attacks have been growing more bold, it
is true, but the recent shelling of Kiryat Shemona in
northern Israel, which provoked the current exacerbated
conflict, was not the first. Hezbollah missiles have, dur-
ing the past month or so, fallen beyond the borders of

the so-called security zone - the legal battlefield for the
continuing miniwar between Israel and Hezbollah - and
received only perfunctory responses.

This shelling is part of a strategy among Islamic fun-
damentalists and, perhaps, Syrian President Hafez Assad
to undermine the Labor Party government and thereby
destroy the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Labor
Party leaders, now fighting for the right to continue gov-
erning and to continue the peace talks, have gradually
come to believe that Hezbollah’s provocation is such
that Labor cannot win the election unless it shows
Israelis itis strong and willing to fight for Israel’s secu-
rity.

Given this tough and painful election, it seemed par-

ticularly useful for Prime Minister Shimon Peres to fight.

(although the bloody accident that killed more than 75
civilians at a U.N. compound Thursday has called even

. that logic into question). Although Peres has spent a

large part of his 50-year public career in Israel’s defense
ministry, he is seen as weak by many Israelis. He is not
Yitzhak Rabin. His opponent, Benjamin Netanyahu,
sensing a potentially popular war led by Peres, immedi-

~ ately began praising the oddly named “Operation Grapes

Here are some governing tips for Mr. Castrilli: Don’t take
your clothes off if there are more than three people in the
room. Don’t make comments like “Hitler was right” in
front of anyone. Don’t promise kegs to people or fraterni-
ties. Don’t get into fights with the editor of the college
newspaper in Denny’s or anywhere else for that matter.
Don’t hire an incompetent staff, like a programming direc-
tor, for instance. Don’t live in the SA van. Don’t lose the
SA van. Don’t get yourself impeached. Don’t divide coun-
cil by bringing in factions. Speaking of Central Council,
don’t start singing the Impossible Dream from Man of La
Mancha during the executive address. Don’t send out flyers
that say finals are canceled when they really aren’t.

With all these “don’t’s, there are a few big “do”s. Do be
competent, fair, and remember that you are here for the stu-
dents. Yet, if anyone has been to a Central Council meeting,
has seen Castrilli speaking at a rally or just campaigning on
the podium, you know what he is and what he isn’t. Castril-
li is sincere. He isn’t Larry. :

So those are the tips on good governing. The great mis-
takes of the past, and there were many (many of them this
year), are always a great guideline for the future. In this
case, hopefully Castrilli will continue to be the good leader
he promises to be, and makes the Student Association a
vehicle for the students, not for the president.

of Wrath,” while setting forth\unlikely goals it must
achieve - for example, the annihilation of Hezbollah and
a promise by Syria not to revive the group. Netanyahu is
lying in wait like a lazy cat, licking his chops publicly
and waiting for the Labor government to make a fatal
mistake.

Indeed, in Israel, negotiating is tantamount to weak-
ness, and use of force equals strength (although Israel
arrived at the negotiating table with its muscles flexed,
and has been negotiating with the Palestinians from a
position of strength). One reason those talks have gone
as far as they have is because Israel is clearly the
stronger negotiating partner. In negotiating, as in bar-
gaining, a fast deal that both parties will accept means
the two do not have shared standards for the transaction.
What the seller perceives as a lot of money for his prod-
uct the buyer perceives as a steal. When the parties share
a vocabulary, the deal is likely to please each less and
take longer to make because the seller perceives what he
is getting as too little, while the buyer thinks the cost is
too high.

Talks between Israelis and Syrians are not moving

: | brand of misery. Life is um, good...?

April 26, 1996

There I was on the ele with my thermal underwear,
earmuffs, triple fat goose jacket, and a small campfire going, all in
preparation for Fountain Day. Just like all the other backwards
aspects of SUNY Albany, Fountain Day somehow managed to get
screwed up, snuggling itself in between the two warmest days the
Capitol Region has seen since 2000 screaming girls packed the RPI
fieldhouse to shriek along to Alanis Morrisette, bringing the
temperature to a cool 103°, with pre-teen sweat dripping down
like piss down a baby’s leg.

I mean, it was beautiful how some streaker wanted to pay
tribute to “Landslide” Larry by running his naked fat ass across
the fountain-I guess considering it was 3°, he was also to employ
the old “Uhh...it was cold out!” to his detractors. But the cotton
candy, the dunking booth, the people running through the
fountain like The Polar Bear club in Coney Island, smiling as they
gave themselves hypothermia-it was all so falatious. It’s like
when they bring snow machines to poor kids in areas like Texas.
Yeah, it’s nice, but who’s being fooled? All the podiating DJs and
Carribean food sales in the world couldn’t convince me it was a
warm day and my balls weren’t creeping up into my abdomen.

But our school was brought together. Kind of sad that voting for
SA officials who spend our money can’t bring people out but
seeing a fountain shooting water can, as if we just got to this
planet and had never seen such a sight (kind of like some twisted
take on Waterworld). Really, if a fountain excites you that much, go
to the mall-there’s plenty of them and you can even stop for a
mocchachino afterwards.

Maybe Parkfest will be better. After all the Ramones are playing
and it’s not like they’re really old and don’t perform well. It’s not
like they only have a handful of songs anyone wants to hear
which they probably won’t play as some sort of
anti-establishment statement. Maybe they'll even be like Bruce
Spririgsteen who doesn’t like playing his “old stuff,” and we'll be
treated to 90 minutes of new material. Fun.

Then there’s D Generation. “Who?” you ask? Exactly. But after
Sunday, the real question will be, “Why?” You would think after
the financial returns on the Run D.M.C. and Springfest concerts,
we would get bands people listen to and/or want to see live, but
the show is free and everyone is looking for a good excuse to get
drunk and tan, so it’s possible to get away with hiring the “Price
Club Tour of Has—beens and Rejects” without too many
repercussions.

In all seriousness though, I am looking forward to Parkfest.
Forget the itchy eyes and the runny nose which the (hopefully)
pleasant allergy inducing spring weather will bring. The fun part
is all the end—of-the-year games Parkfest gives you a chance to
play. Since it’s the last time you may see graduating seniors and
all the people in that class you only had once a week, you can get
in a few good rounds of “Hey, man, you gotta give me your
number! We should hang out this summer!”

“Yeah, you should come 350 miles north to visit!

“Yeah, I'll call you!” Mmm hmm. Uh huh. Sure.

Then there’s all the chances seniors will get to be asked by
people, the aforementioned ones whom may never see them
again, what their future plans are. For the 2% with a clue, I guess
the question is actually an entertaining one. For the others, it must
be like a pubescent girl’s great aunt asking, “When are you
getting your boobies?” Both questions are embarrassing,
unanswerable, and make you wonder why fate, God, or whatever
power is working, has picked you out as a victim of their cruelty.

Anyway, with only one more issue to go before the semester is
over and in all liklihood, my tenure as ASPects Editor ends, I’m
trying to think of positive remarks for next week. I’m going to see
Macbeth, I’m attending Parkfest, and I’m even going to stop by
some of my classes-it’s all the school spirit I can muster.
Hopefully, within the week someone will do something which
will inspire some optimism. If not, I guess I'll just go out like I
came in: a whining neurotic, happy wallowing in his own little

Janeane Garofolo Bombs As A Dog

The Truth About Cats and Dogs, a romantic
comedy from director Michael Lehman
(Heathers), details the trials and tribulations
of a talk radio veterinarian’s quest to win
the heart of a dog—fearing caller. Janeane
Garofolo stars as Abby, and Uma Thurman,
as her best friend and neighbor, Noelle.

Ann Shaughnessy

Abby’s troubles begin when a caller, after
taking a liking to her voice, proposes a

ee ee

meeting. Unsure of her tae
appearance, Abby describes the
attractive Noelle, and plans to meet
the caller, Brian (Ben Chaplin). The
rest of the plot plays out in the
most obvious of ways. Brian meets
Noelle, likes the exterior, but

_|disguised as Donna, mentally
excites Brian, but does little to turn
on his libido. Eventually, thanks to
the God of happy endings, Brian
accepts the old adage, “Beauty is

reigns.

While the film has romantic
qualities, its comedic qualities are
severely lacking. Virtually every
line is anticipated, there are
absolutely no surprises. Not that
surprise is the end—all—be-all in
this movie genre, but when every
single outcome of every single
{prickly situation can_ bee
foreseen...buyer beware!

For Garofolo, Cats and Dogs turns
out to be a monumental
disappointment. Her career has
survived because of good
performances in bad movies: the
GAP manager in Reality Bites,
Randy Quaid’s challenging date in
Bye, Bye Love, and after a forgettable season
on Saturday Night Live, she’s featured in this
lackluster film.

With the right situation and script,
Garofolo delivers solid performances,
however, Cats and Dogs features neither
characteristic. Uma Thurman has no better
luck, managing to look uncharacteristically
unattractive, and surprisingly drab as
Noelle. Chalk this one up to bad karma,
and let’s look forward to the future.

folks, Marvel Comics might have
finally found their long, lost messi-
ah in this creative genius. For those
of you not familiar with Mark’s
work, he was responsible for the
modification of DC comics Flash.
Ever since he took over this book ©
(50 issues and counting), Mark has
made a substantial improvement in
both the characters and the story
line, thus making him responsible
for the new-found interest in this
old character. He was also responsi-
ble for the creation of one of DC’s
most popular, new characters,
Impulse.

Anyway, Waid has now brought
his talents to Marvel Comics, and is
taking their world by storm. First
he revitalized Captain America; a
book that has been on the slump for
a very, very long time. In his very
short stint on the book, he has
raised sales to new heights and has
actually brought back a great story
line to the Star-Spangled Ameri-

- can’s book. The plot deals with Cap
being declared a traitor to his coun-
try because of his alliance with the
Red Skull. I highly recommend this
book and definitely think Cap is
only going to get better.

Then, Waid was assigned to a lit- :

SIGMA ALPHA EDSILON DRESENTS:

THE SAGA OF PADDY MURPHY

_ Chicago. One A.M. The docks are cov-
ered In a fog that would keep most people
inside, but most people don’t do what
Paddy Murphy does. Waiting on the docks
for his buyer, he couldn’t help but feel like
this night would go very smoothly He had
been approached by one of Capone’s capos
four months ago and, although Chicago
wasn’t his turf, the deal had been too good.
_ “One hundred thousand dollars.” The

words hung in the Florida air and Paddy
could feel them as if the money had
brushed his cheek.

“One hundred thousand dollars,” the
capo repeated, seeing the effect his offer
had. “That much money In exchange for
500 cases of whiskey nd rum.”

Putting the money out of his mind, .
Paddy started getting suspicious. ”No dis-
respect, Signore Santagata, but why me?
Surely the Capone organization has its
own methods of acquiring the merchan-
dise you want .”

“We do, but that Fed boy Ness Is watch-
ing us like a hawk. He’s not looking for an
Irish boy from Florida to bring us our
‘merchandise’.” /

“And how did you come to hear of me? I

don’t get to Chicago much, you know.”

“We have people that we normally deal
with who recommended you to us.
“Knuckles” DeMeo, for one “Pretty Boy”
Butvick is one of our suppliers and told us
where you were.”

“T haven't seen him since we left the old
country together. Did he come down here
with you?”

“T did not come here to relive boyhood
memories with you, Mr. Murphy. Don
Capone expects an answer by tomorrow.
What do you say?” :

“500 cases for $100,000? When will you

be down to pick them up?”

“T don’t think you understand me, Mr.
Murphy. You have to deliver the cases to
Chicago.”

Paddy sat back in shock. In reality, he
expected this. “I don’t know if that Is pos-
sible, Mr. Santagata. Thank you for your
offer, but I just don’t have those kinds of
resources,” Paddy said as he stood up,
extending his hand to say good-bye. I
hope this works, he thought to himself.

“Three hundred thousand dollars. That
should more than cover your travelling
expenses. Don Capone is anxious to meet »

Wy

you.

Paddy’s revelry is broken by a figure
approaching through the gloom. His hand
immediately goes under his coat to his
gun, ready to draw. He tensely waits until
the man steps into the light. Seeing Francis
McKeon’s honest face, he relaxes.

“Paddy,” Francis hisses in a whisper.

“Yeah, Franky, it’s me. What’s the rum-
pus?” :

Crossing to where Paddy stands, Francis
looks worried. “Its too quiet, Paddy.”

Something In the way Francis’ speech,
makes Paddy start to wonder. Where was
Santagata? Why were none of Capone’s
men here? Something was up. While grab-
bing McKeon, he runs toward the boat,
shouting to Tommy Lyons.

“Baby Face! Start the boat! We're gettin’
out of here!”

Just then, floodlights flare on, dissolving
the fog and revealing twenty Chicago cops
and a tall lean figure. A figure that could
only be Elliot Ness.

X-Files:

HXcitment Lurks Hard Work

Gillian Anderson & David Duchovny

(CPS) “Yes, it is unglamorous.”

That news may come as a surprise
to viewers of the X—Files, but it’s how
cast and crew members describe life
on the set of the popular series, where
alien abductions and paranormal
experiences are the norm.

In the drafty old Salvation Army
Hall where X-Files is shooting on this
‘|cold winter day in Vancouver. B.C.,
there are layers of crew people in
layers of clothes executing their
various jobs. Stars Gillian Anderson
(Scully) and David Duchovny
(Mulder) are just two more faces in
the mob. .

Still, one can’t help but notice crew
and cast aren’t exactly working at an
insurance office. The set houses a
mock police station and a morgue,
complete with shiny instruments and
autopsy table. A forgotten coffin from
a past day’s filming stands in the back
of a room. |

“You want to talk about the crew?”
asks Duchovny, who claims he’s no
friend of fame. Duchovny says he
harbors mixed feelings about the
success of the series and the
subsequent celebrity—status it has
brought him. “Fame is meaningless,”
he says, wearing his conservative
navy blue “agent coat” for a scene.
“It’s what you do with it that matters:
The mere fact of being known is not a
pleasure at all to me.”

Depending upon the enthusiasm of
the observer, Duchovny could be
described as anywhere from a nice
man with nice-enough looks to
drop-your-—drawers gorgeous. The
35-year-old actor majored in English
literature at Princeton University. He
went to graduate school at Yale,
where he dropped out of the
literature program to pursue acting.
From there, he played a transvestite
detective on the macabre series Twin
Peaks, and did a complete turnaround
for his role as a fundamentalist
Christian in the movie The Rapture.
But it wasn’t until the X-Files that
Duchovny became a familiar face to
millions of Americans. |

“Nobody ever gets famous slowly.
Fame always comes suddenly,” he
says. |
But if celebrity status seemed to
have come quickly to Duchovny, it hit
27-year-old Anderson like a bolt of
lightening. Before X—Files, she’d done
a “couple of small films,” she says,

Ghul line

not bothering: to
mention their
names.

_ She now is among
the most respected
jactresses in prime
time. “The glue that
holds The X-Files
together is Gillian
Anderson,” writes
Alex Strachan, TV
critic for the
Vancouver Sun. He
& calls her “an actress
} of uncommon-for
television-range
and ability.”

Anderson was
born at St. Mary’s
Hospital in Chicago.
She grew up partly
™ in London, where
wher theatrically
= inclined father
Edward Anderson
g attended the

London Film
School. Back in the United States, she
came back to Chicago to study drama
at DePaul University’s Goodman
Theater School. She graduated in
1990.

“My life has changed considerably
since I started working on the show,”
Anderson says. And it transformed
her in personal as well as professional
ways. She married show art director
Clyde Klotz during the series’ first
season and became pregnant with her
daughter Piper. It was a tense time,
she says. Anderson reportedly

thought she might be fired. But the
show’s writer’s created an alien-.

abduction story line that allowed her
enough time off the show to deliver
her baby.

Despite the
encounter, Scully remains Mulder’s
capable foil, often reigning in his
obsessive search for proof of UFOs
sightings and supernatural
conspiracies. However, Anderson
says her character has become much
less skeptical and more open-minded.
“But even though she’s had
something happen to her, she’s not
going to go around believing
everything paranormal.”

Ten days after she gave birth
Anderson was back on the set,
drudging through grueling hours.
“Sometimes the lunch we have as a
crew happens at noon. Sometimes it

' happens at 11 at night. Your body gets

used to it.”

But maybe not entirely. During one
shoot following the birth of her baby,
Anderson was doing a scene in which
Scully was recovering in a hospital
bed after the UFO abduction. She was

exhausted. Not being made of the

supernatural stuff of X-Files’ elusive
aliens, she did exactly what any
mortal might do-she fell asleep.

The X-Files crew is reputedly the
hardest-working TV team in
Vancouver. Staffers, from make-up
people to episode director Bob
Bowman, exude the spirit of

‘industrious blue-collar workers. No

hair-tossing and Hollywood airs
here; only frequent 15-hour work
days. : ,
On this day they’re filming the last
show-one about two teen-age girls
with deadly psychokinetic powers—
before hiatus. Some are beginning to
feel the strain of the long days, says

interplanetary

Anderson. “People are bumping into
each other and dropping things.”

“If you do anything for too long
you get stress,” says David
Duchovny. “There are days when
you'd rather be anyplace in the world
than on the set.”

Inside the room made to look like a
police station, cameras roll as
Duchovny goes repeatedly through a
scene in which he interrogates the
high school girls. The girls are
suspected of supernatural mischief.

The X-Files crew works for 15
hours to grind out six to seven
minutes of airable tape, says
production assistant Robyn Gelke.
Even Vancouver’s Noah’s—Ark
weather doesn’t stop them. “We shoot
in the rain a lot.

“It takes eight days of main unit
work at 12 to 15 hours a day and
three to four days at 10 hours a day of
second unit shooting (to produce
footage) for 47 minutes of air time,”
she says. “And that doesn’t take into
account post-production and
preparation.”

“This is what keeps X-Files going,”
says best boy Bill Kassis, a set
electrical technician. He points to the
paper cup of Starbuck’s coffee in his
hand-so far the set’s only visible hint
of chicness.

Makeup. woman Fern Levin
discretely dabs a powder puff under
Duchovny’s eyes to make him look
tireless through the umpteenth take.
Levin’s cosmetic skills are
double-edged, however; she can
make actors look wide awake and
glamorous or—well-bruised and dead.
Through her clear plastic carrying
case, alongside the lip gloss and
rouge is a ketchup squeeze bottle
filled with fake blood. is

“Someone who has just died looks
different from someone who’s been
lying around a month,” she says. To
make sure her work looked realistic,
Levin used to haunt pathology labs
and burn units.

For early scenes, she uses a lighter
touch of make-up on the teen-age
girls to make them look like

wholesome adolescents. But today -

the two are walking around with
raccoon eyes blinking from colorfully

coated faces. In the story line the girls

are behind an evil, occult scheme, and
their mascara has to show it. “They
have that bad-girl look now,” Levin
says. :
Along with their raccoon-eyes, the
girls have inherited the ability to
move furniture with their minds. Or
so it will appear on TV. Desks on the
set are rigged with wires that snake
out of the room and across the hall
where they’re connected to a device
technicians control. The desks tremble
and move on cue, again.and again.

These effects are kitty-cat tame by
X-Files’ standards. Throughout the
series, Scully and Mulder have
escaped raging blazes set by a
telekinetic arsonist and a man-sized
spider web woven by supernatural
insects.

They have hunted a cannibalistic
sewer dweller, a quadru-amputee
astro-projectionist killer, a child
snatching pedophiliac and a small
army of mass’ -murderers.
Occasionally the bizarre and gloomy
plots get to Anderson. “Sometimes I'll
read a script and get very disturbed
by it. Or sometimes a story’s effect

will sneak up on me as I’m doing it.
I'll talk to Chris about it.”

Chris Carter, 38, is the show’s
creator and executive producer. He
writes about a third of the scripts.

“He’ll hear the same things from
standards and practices fhat he’s
hearing from me,” Anderson says.
“Then (objectional parts of a show)
will be toned down.”

One of the last season’s shows,
entitled “Irresistible,” was based on a
script about a necrophilic, a man who
had sex with corpses. That was one of
the shows forced to undergo changes,
Anderson says. By the time the show
aired, the man’s one sensual act
consisted of using herbal shampoos
to suds the the locks of his dead
female victims. The hint of sexual
deviance was there but the stated sex
was gone.

Would Anderson ever allow her
15-month-old daughter to sit in front
of an episode of X-Files considering
its storylines so often center on
deviants and demons?

Nine is a reasonable age to allow a
child exposure to harsher TV
offerings, she thinks. She’s not
presenting herself as an expert,
though: Piper is her first, child. “I
think if a show scares a child you
discuss it and explain it is not real: it’s
TV. But children should be told there
are people out there who do the
gruesome things that our characters
do.”

Piper still is at the trusting, fearless
stage, she says. The toddler didn’t
mind being picked by a gargoyle on
set a few days ago. Anderson slavs.

Being on an X-Files set is a
surrealistic experience. On this day
there are no gargoyles to hug, but not
far from the coffin lays a test polaroid
of a bloody decomposing young man
who was its previous tenant—not
something for the family album. Set
locations themselves stir the
imagination. “We've been in the
weirdest places,” says Levin, “mines,
slaughter houses.”

The crew spends only a couple days
out of an eight-day shoot on their
home set at North Shore Studios,
Anderson estimates. Most work shifts
they’re out and about: downtown, in
the woods behind the studio, on the
West End, at the University of British
Columbia, all around the city and
suburbs. A young clerk at a coffee
shop in Vancouver’s Harbour area
comments that the show filmed
recently in his neighborhood. “X-Files
is a way Of life here,” he adds.

Anderson and Duchovny say they
love working in Vancouver. Both live |.
in the area, where in the last 10 years
the number of movies and TV shows
being shot has skyrocketed. “The only
problem with Vancouver is that it’s
full of Canadians,” Duchovny jokes.

“Vancouver is a fabulous place to
shoot,” Anderson says. Film
companies rely on the city’s ability to
mimic everyplace from Hong Kong to

Seattle to New York city. “And the

locations up here haven’t been seen
1,000 times, by audiences, like the
ones in L.A.,” she says.

As the sun goes down outside, the
shooting stops as the crew re-groups.
More filming will come later; cast and
crew are no where near finished for
the day, says Henricksen. _

It looks like it’s going to be another
11 p.m.. lunch day.


LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A Letter of
Thanks

To the Editor:

We are writing to sincerely thank all of
the students who have volunteered this
year for the Don’t Walk Alone Escort
Service and the Student Safety Patrol.
Don’t Walk Alone, in its thirteenth year,
has had a banner year in terms of the
number of students who have used the
escort service. The Student Safety Patrol,
as a result of the hard work and diligence
of its Executive Board, began service this
spring and is now firmly established as a
viable and effective safety program here
at the University at Albany.

However, without the volunteer efforts
of individual students and student groups,
both of these safety programs would not
exist or flourish at the University. The
safety and security of the University com-
munity - its students, faculty and profes-
sional staff - has been significantly
improved as a result of the time, energy
and dedication by all those involved. We
applaud these volunteers for their com-
mitment to making personal safety one of
the highest priorities of our institution.

Again, we thank all the. students who
have actively participated in the Don’t
Walk Alone Escort Program and the Stu-
dent Safety Patrol this year and for those
of you returning in the fall we ask for
your continued commitment to these safe-
ty proetaans,

Are You Queer?

To the Editor:

As concerned members of the campus
community, we feel it necessary to dis-
cuss the formation of a new group dedi-
cated to promoting, and uniting all pro-
gressive student groups. Queer Alliance
should not be viewed as simply another
Gay and Lesbian group. Our mission is to
bring together all people who are not con-
sidered part of the status-quo. To whom
does this apply? People. of color, women,
the working class, the handicapped, as
well as gays, lesbians, and bisexual peo-
ple.

The need for organization within —
groups is particularly important at this
time. Being an election year, the religious
right, as well as the Republican party are
on a “moral crusade” to silence the voices
of all those people who were not born
white anglo-saxon men. Queer Alliance
refuses to allow this to happen. We
believe that through education, coopera-
tion, and participation, the various

“ism’s” that proliferate our society can be
recognized and eventually stopped. If
after reading this you realize that you too
are queer, then join us Monday nights at
6:30pm in the main lounge of Waterbury
Hall, or contact Greg Campbell or Kyle

Reed at 463-0408.

Prescription for
Disaster.

To the Editor:

Republican legislation in Congress to
“reform’’ the Food and Drug Administra-
tion would dramatically weaken the
FDA’s ability to protect the public health.
The assault on the FDA is particularly
serious, because the agency is responsible
for the safety of a quarter of all the prod-
ucts in the American economy - especial-
ly the food we eat and the prescription
drugs we take.

The Republican bills would water down
requirements that guarantee these prod-
ucts are safe and effective. They would
turn over many of the FDA’s most impor-
tant functions to private industry, with

built-in conflicts of interest. They would
give preference to products approved in
Europe and other foreign countries, where
the public is less well protected. And they
would saddle the agency with so many
new bureaucratic requirements and so
much red tape that it would be unable to
do its job. If the Republican proposals are
enacted, Americans can expect many
more drug disasters like thalidomide and
DES, medical device failures like the
Dalkon shield, lethal vaccines like the
Cutter polio vaccine, threats to the blood
supply and even threats to the food
supply.

The Republican proposals, by eliminat-
ing essential FDA oversight of the pro-
duction of medical products, threaten the
safety of drugs, medical devices, blood
and vaccines.

The House Republican bill eliminates
existing requirements for the FDA to
approve certain products that can be dan-
gerous to public health - such as leaky
surgical gloves or faulty diagnostic tests.
In recent weeks, it was revealed that a
defective new AIDS test kit was distribut-
ed to 2 million patients abroad. American
consumers, however, weré spared expo-
sure to this dangerous product.

The Senate bill gives the FDA only 90
days to review certain new food additives,
even though these additives can result in
the involuntary exposure of millions of
Americans to potentially harmful sub-
stances.

The Dalkon shield, used to prevent
pregnancy, injured 90,000 women
because of a design flaw. This tragedy led
to legislation strengthening FDA over-
sight of medical devices. The Shiley heart
valve proved vulnerable to breakage,
killing the patients. Before the valve was
withdrawn, the manufacturer proposed a
new version six times more dangerous
than the original. The FDA rejected it, but
4,000 patients received it in Europe.
Under the Republican bills, the FDA’s
ability to prevent such tragedies would be
seriously compromised.

Both the Senate and the House bills
contain an inherent and outrageous con-
flict of interest. They are designed to shift
responsibility for product approval from
the independent experts at the FDA to pri-
vate businesses. The profitability of these
firms. would depend on the fees they
attracted from the very companies whose
products they review.

As hard as it may be to believe, another
provision in the bills would prohibit the
FDA from requiring companies to make
information available to patients on possi-
ble dangers of prescription drugs. At a

‘time when hospitalizations from improper

use of prescription drugs by senior citi-
zens cost Medicare $20 billion a year, it is
foolish to deny patients information they
need to monitor their use of medications.

The Republican bills also contain provi-
sions to micromanage the agency. The
strategy of the Republicans and their spe-
cial interest constituency is clear: Set up
procedures that make it impossible for
regulatory agencies to protect the public,
and then use their failures as an excuse to
dismantle them.

The assault on the FDA is fueled by a
well-funded campaign alleging that
patients are suffering because foot-drag-
ging by the agency is denying them need-
ed drugs already approved in foreign
countries. Much of the funding for this
campaign comes from tobacco compa-
nies, who have their own reasons to dis-
credit the FDA. In fact, FDA drug review
time was cut by 40 percent between 1987
and 1993.

And unlike foreign.approval authorities,
the FDA has combined speed with safety.
Between 1970 and 1992, 56 drugs were
introduced in France, Germany, Great

Britain and the United States that subsé-.

quently had to be withdrawn because they
were unsafe. Only nine had been
approved i in this country, compared with

31 in France, 30 in Germany and 23 in:

Great Britain.

The FDA is not perfect, but it is still
renowned as one of the most effective
regulatory agencies in the world. There is

always room for improvement, but the
Republican proposal is a blueprint for
demolition, not modernization, and

Congress should reject it.

along as well because each side is strong
and feels it can strike a hard bargain.
These two powers share the same lan-
guage of force.

It’s certainly not a new idea, but it bears
keeping in mind that the ways Israel
chooses to assert its right to exist are col-
ored by the history of the Jews - especial-
ly by recent history. It is easy for a weak-
ling to become a bully, given the right set
of schoolyard circumstances, and not even
notice the change. It is easy for an army
that sees itself as perpetually under siege
to take the risk of shelling a Hezbollah
site only 300 meters from a refugee shel-
ter filled with civilians.

It’s not impossible, either, for Israelis to
accept unblinkingly the destruction of a
Lebanese ambulance and almost all its
innocent passengers as a not unacceptable
(although perhaps unfortunate) result of
Israel’s reaction to the injuries and shock
that the rain of Katyushas has inflicted on
the population of Kiryat Shemona. It’s
only a little bit harder for them to accept
what happened at the Qana U.N. installa-
tion on Thursday. Accidentally killing
more than 75 innocents is just a few
degrees worse than accidentally killing a
family.

Israelis are caught between believing
that their brilliant, smart weapons can
make warfare a clean battle, only touch-
ing the concerned armies, and believing
that any civilian near the forces of evil
cannot expect to be completely safe.

People here believe the enemy must be
bulldozed if Israel is to have a chance.
Israelis still see themselves, metaphorical-
ly and geographically, as the little guy -
although they: are the region’s over-dog.
There is unquestionably a connection
between the two minutes of silence
observed on Holocaust day and the brash
way the Israeli flag is displayed in

initial euphoria and strident patriotism,
they want peace. With the war in
Lebanon, ‘peace now seems almost
beyond their ability to recall. This may, in
the end, keep Peres in power - because he
could be the wizard who can make peace .

Continued from page 10

The sentiment is clever and well intend-
ed but lacks historical footings. Newspa-
per barons have been as diverse as college
presidents and foundation-executives.
Greeley, Hearst, Scripps, and Patterson of
the New York Daily News flirted seriously
with communism, socialism, and state
ownership of vital industries before pass-
ing through other epiphanies. James Gor-
don Bennett sang in no one’s chorus. His .
hatreds and contempts embraced whatever
icon or institution caught his eye. Donald
Trump would have envied Joseph
Pulitzer’s lavish 19th-century lifestyle.
But the Pulitzer papers at his insistence
were a scourge of'the “interests’’ and a
beacon for reform-minded journalists
everywhere.

One of the most interesting aspects of
today’s premier news corporations - the
ones with the rich editors, officers and
shareholders - is the counterintuitive fact
that almost without exception they have
encouraged or acquiesced in the leftward
drift of their newspapers over the past
quarter-century. The Los Angeles Times
and the Chicago Tribune were stolidly
Republican (many would say “reac-
tionary’’) before their public stock offer-
ings and the importation of new casts of
executives. They are now well established
in the progressive camp, as The Washing-
ton Post has been in the modern era. The
New York Times was a “good gray lady’’
in the ‘50s, an enthusiast for Eisenhower
and other East Coast Republicans. But
since acquiring public shareholders and
turning itself into an acquisitive and
aggressive corporate entity, it has tilted .
very noticeably to the left. With some-
what different shadings, the story is much
the same at major Gannett and Knight-
Ridder papers.

nights...”

and very different - political holidays

seem a part of one long, seamless celebra- ”
_tion: the celebration of Israel’s survival in :
’ tic enterprises, they are the envy of the

the face of terrible adversity.

The question, finally, is about the value
of retaliation. Most Israelis believe retali-
ation is the sina qua non of survival - that
even the strong must retaliate. Failure to
respond is an indication of weakness. This
is surely why the Israelis assassinated the
Palestinian militant, Yehiya Ayyash, “the
Engineer’’ who masterminded several ter-
rorist attacks inside Israel. They had him
in their gun sights, and he had to go - no
matter how high the price. Some suggest
the price was the’ spree of bus bombings
that ensued once the Muslim period of
mourning for Ayyash ended. And then,
there must be a response to the bus bomb-
ings: closures, checkpoints and the
roundup of everyone even faintly
involved in Hamas. Now Hamas will
respond.

With each pair of violent actions, some
kind of peace appears both more unreach-
able and more necessary. As the possibili-
ty for peace seems to move farther and
farther away, it begins to have, even for
the warmongering Israelis, a greater and
more compelling attraction. Peace for the

Israelis is like an object of desire. The

closer they get to it, the less appealing it

becomes; but put it out of reach, and they

want it. Give them a war, and after the

world and, so far as one can tell, have sur-
vived recent “downsizing’’ efforts with a
few ruffled feathers here and there and
cocktail party grumbling.but no damage
of note.

The heaviest part of these cutbacks, I
suspect, has fallen on the country’s small-
er newspapers (the 90 percent with circu-
lations of less than 50,000) and on the
victims of a long, long attrition process
that has cut the number of dailies in the
United States from more than 2,600 in
1909 to barely 1,500 today; nearly 100
papers died in the first years of this
decade. .

Because people who write about the
media - myself included - are fixated on
the big city “celebrity’’ papers, we are
generally ignorant of what is going on
with newspapers in most of the towns and
cities of America. They are not put out by
rich editors and publishers or staffed with
rich reporters and columnists. Their tri-
umphs are often overlooked. If they are
suffering from “downsizing’’ these days,
as is probably the ca ea their pain is
unlikely to be noticed by the hand-

wringers of the metropolitan press.

FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1996 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS [5

Students in a

(CPS)—Univeysity of Iowa fresh-
man John Doe says he is th com-
plete control of his gambling
activity despite having money
invested in eight different NCAA
tournament pools and a little side
action with a few of his on-cam-
pus bookies.

“IT know it’s not a problem,”
said Doe, whose name has been
changed at the student’s request
because of his concern about the
legality of gambling. “I'll just
keep gambling until I’m finan-
cially incapable of betting any-
more it’s fun.”

The thrill and fun of placing
bets on the college games
reached its zenith last month
with the NCAA basketball tour-
nament. But officials across the
nation warn of the dangers of
excess gambling and its effects
on college students.

David Gagne, project coordi-
nator for the Massachusetts
Council on Compulsive Gam-
bling, said a “barrage” of
inquiries concerning college bet-
ting hit his Boston office during
the NCAA basketball tourna-
ment. .

“In Massachusetts, there is a
little more hype because UMass
is in the Final Four,” he said.
“March Madness is a peak time
for sports betting. The NCAA is
second only to the Super Bowl in
sports gambling activity.”

Numerous sources estimate the
betting action on the entire tour-
nament is as high as $2.5 billion.
Frank Biagioli, executive direc-
tor of the Iowa Gambling Treat-
ment Program, said there’s a cor-
relation between March Madness
and problem gamblers, and said
bets on the games become pro-
gressively more compulsive
toward the finals.

“With the last few games, peo-
ple are trying to make good on
past losses,” Biagicli said.

Doe, 19, detailed his brief yet
active gambling history while
watching the men’s Final Four
matchups, both on which he had
money, from a booth in the back
of an Iowa City sports bar.

“TI never placed a bet with a

bookie before coming to the
[university],” he said.

Now, seven months later, Doe
wagers with three different book-
ies and said between football and
basketball, he has placed at least
100 bets.

“I bet on Duquesne and shit
schools like that for something to
bet on,” he said. “It makes it
more exciting. I had 40 bucks on
Eddie George to win the Heis-
man trophy with 6-to-1 odds. I
won $240.”

Doe, who lost $150 on the
ACC tournament, figures he’s
down about $50 for the year. He
took his biggest loss on the
weekend of the Iowa-Penn state
football game. He said including
two other bad bets on games that
weekend, he lost a total of $380.

“T didn’t feel that bad. I just went
out and got really drunk,” he
said.

Mark Lange, a professor of
sociology at Holyoke Communi-
ty College in Massachusetts,
recently conducted a survey
aimed at evaluating the extent to
which college students gamble.
The study showed 95 percent of
college students have tried gam-
bling, legally or illegally, while
attending school.

Lange also discovered while
30 percent of respondents said
they know someone who in their
opinion is a problem gambler,
less than 2 percent admit to
being hooked themselves.

Biagioli said during the last
half of 1995, 20 percent of the
calls placed to his 1-800-BETS-

OFF hotline were from college-
age individuals.

“College gambling is a prob-
lem that needs to be put at the
forefront,” he said. “An aware-
ness of the danger is [neces-
sary].”

Students are particularly sus-
ceptible to developing compul-
sive gambling habits because of
their unique environment and
circumstances, Biagioli said.

“College students have more
access to credit today than ever
before. Credit card companies
send everyone one or two cards.
With cash advances, they [stu-
dents] start booking hundreds of
dollars on the games,” he said.

Some students use college loan
money or lie to their parents
about bills and go bet it all at the

gambling frenzy during the March Madness competitions

sports bars, Biagioli said.

“Pretty soon the house comes
tumbling down on them,” he
said.

Gagne noted the concentration
of people living in residence
halls, fraternity and apartment
houses also helped facilitate
gambling activities and opportu-
nities on campuses.

“One of the things we know is
when you are placing.a bet,
proximity makes a difference,”

he said.

Doe said he knows of at least
four other bookies who live in-
residence halls around campus.

“You don’t have to go very far
to find someone involved in one
way or another with gambling,”
he said.

Computer Wiretap nabs
Argentine student

(CPS) The first court-ordered wiretap on a
computer network has nabbed an Argen-

j tine student who hacked his way into U.S.

military computers.
At the same time, the wiretap has

_ sparked concerns about how far the gov-

ernment should go in reading private e-

Julio Cesar Ardita, a 21-year-old univer-
sity student, tapped into Harvard Univer-
sity’s computer system through the Inter-

inet, stole a series of passwords and

accounts, and from there worked his way
into the computers of the U.S. Defense
Department, the Navy and NASA, said
Atty. Gen. Janet Reno. He also is believed
to have illegally entered computer sys-
tems at other universities, including Cal
Tech, the University of Massachusetts,
and Northeastern University, added Reno.

Ardita, who officials say never uncov-
ered top-secret data, is accused of con-
ducting illegal computer entries from
Buenos Aires, where he lives. Although
he is charged with three U.S. felonies
related to illegal computer entry, the viola-
tions are not extraditable offenses under
U.S.-Argentine treaties.

Ardita, however, maybe charged by

| Argentine authorities, who have opened

their own investigation and confiscated
his computer last December.

Justice Department officials said that
law enforcement agencies have done elec-
tronic surveillance on computer systems
in the past without the consent of users. In
this case, court authorization was thought
to be necessary because the Harvard com-
puter system does not post a message
informing users who log onto the system
that their communications may be moni-
tored.

“This is doing it the right way,” Reno
said. “We are uSing a traditional court
order and new technology to defeat a
criminal while protecting individual rights
and Constitutional principles that are
important to all Americans.”

Yet questions remain as to whether the
wiretap could constitute government
intrusion into individual privacy. U.S.
Attorney Donald K. Stern said every pre-
caution was taken to make sure the com-
munications people who were not part of
the investigation were respected.

“We intercepted only those communica-
tions which fit the pattern,” explained
Stern. “Even when communications con-
tained the identifying pattern of the
intruder, we limited our initial examina-
tion to 80 characters around the tell-tale
sign to further protect the privacy of inno-
cent communications.”

The wiretap pinpointed various sites
Ardita favored or key words he used in
communications.

Women’s lax takes six out of seven

By THOMAS MCMAHON
Sports Editor

This past Monday, the University at Albany
women’s lacrosse team improved their record to 6-3
with an 11-6 win over visiting Vassar College.
Senior attack Debbie August celebrated her final
home game as a Lady Dane by scoring six goals to
lead Albany to victory.

Vassar jumped out to a 2-0 just 4:24 into the
game. After getting over the initial shock, the Lady
Danes responded with nine of the next ten goals to
take control of the game. August, who is Albany’s
all-time leading scorer, scored all six of her goals
during this decisive run.. Also scoring for the Lady
Danes were Angela Soteriou and Lynn Barringer,
who each scored two goals, Rafaela Nikas, who had
a goal and an assist, and Jenn O’ Donnell and Mandy
Morrison, who added an assist each. Freshman goal-
keeper Terri Crispo made a season high ten saves
for Albany, which has won six of their last seven
games.

The six goals moved August’s total to 119 for her

’ The Lady Danes have battled tough competition all season.

career to go along with 32 assists for 151 total
points. The senior also leads the Lady Danes in
scoring this season with 49 points on 36 goals and
13 assists.

Back on April 15, Albany traveled to Syracuse to
take on LeMoyne College. August had an even
more impressive game with a career high seven
goals to lead the Lady Danes to a 16-7 victory.
August scored four times in the first half, as Albany
moved out to an 8—2 halftime advantage. Morrison
added three goals, while Soteriou had three goals
and one assist for Albany. In addition, O’Donnell
picked up a goal and two assists, Nikas had a goal
and an assist, and Barringer dished out an assist.
Goalkeepers Crispo and Pam Foody combined to
stop ten shots for Albany, which won their fourth
straight after starting the season 0-2.

The Lady Danes were in search ‘of their fifth
straight win when they traveled to Vermont to play
Castleton State on April 18. This one turned out to
be a laugher, as Albany scored twelve unanswered
goals in the first half on their way to an 18-0 rout.
August was once again the offensive star, tallying
five goals and two assists. Soteriou also had a big
day, scoring four goals and one assist. The Lady
Danes also got multi-point games from Morrison,

| Amy Preece, O’Donnell, Barringer, and Kelly Pay-

ton. Lauren Pouchak, Nikas, Lucy Kleieko, and

| Heather Young also added points for Albany. Fresh-

men goalies Crispo and Foody combined for only
the third shutout in the programs five year history as
the Lady Danes improved to 5-2.

Last Saturday, Albany concluded a three game
road trip with a game against Cortland. The Lady

| Danes saw their five game win streak get snapped

by the Dragons in an 18-8 loss. Albany trailed 8-3
at the half, and could never get back in the game.
Barringer and Nikas each scored two goals to lead
the way for Albany. Morrison, Soteriou, August,
and Karen Karpus each added goals for the Lady
Danes, while O’Donnell and Payton had Albany’s
only assists. Crispo and Foody made 22 saves in the
Lady Dane cage, but it wasn’t enough as Albany fell
to 5—3 on the season.

The Lady Danes close out their season with three
road games. Albany plays St. Michael’s today at 4
p.m., Oneonta on Monday at 3:30 p.m., and Niagara
on May 5 at noon.

A look at the NBA playoff teams

By THOMAS MCMAHON
Sports Editor

The 1995-1996 National Bas-
ketball Association playoffs are
finally here. I can’t remember a
regular season that dragged along
such as this years did, but now
it’s all behind us as the playoffs
begin. I will not bore you with my
predictions, everyone knows this
paper has had enough people do
that already. Here’s a preview of
each team in the playoffs and
their chance at a championship. ‘
; Chicago Bulls: 72 wins, Jor-
dan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc,
need I say more? This team has
great balance, and is a champi-
onship away from being known
as a great team.

Orlando Magic: This team has
great inside play with Shaquille
O’Neal, great guard play with
Penny Hardaway, and great out-
side shooting with Nick Anderson
and Dennis Scott. The only prob-
lem they have is that they don’t
have Michael Jordan. As much as
Shag and the Magic fans would
like to believe that someday he
will be known as the best player
ever, it will never happen, and he
will never be half as good as #23.
Orlando’s time will come when
“Air” Jordan hangs them up for
good.

Indiana Pacers: Reggie Miller
is recovering from eye surgery,
and not very fast I might add. It
doesn’t look like any thunder-
storms will be headed anywhere.
Rik Smits will have to step—up
and become the scorer and leader
that Miller was. Mark Jackson
could be the new leader, but he’s
a punk. Reggie better come back

soon, or else the Pacer will ask
his sister Chery] to step in.
Cleveland Cavaliers: This is
the most boring team in the NBA.
They don’t score, they don’t
dunk, they don’t even run, but
they play great defense, and great
fundamental basketball. They are
the Princeton University of the

NBA, but Mike Fratello will be ©
,lucky to face the Bulls in the. sec-

ond round. He’s not Pete Carill.
New York Knicks: Boy, oh
boy, oh boy. What the hell hap-
pened? Jeff Van Gundy has these
playoffs left in his Knicks head
coaching career. Who knows,
maybe Dave Checketts will fire
him in the middle of the playoffs
and hire the trainer to coach the

team. Patrick Ewing must be sick:

and tired of this crap, and can you
blame him? At least John Starks
won’t blow a game seven in the
championship series this season.
Atlanta Hawks: This team has
surprised me all season long.
Stacey Augmon is trying to estab-
lish himself as a star in this
league, and Steve Smith has prob-
ably accomplished that same goal
this season. This team. is in the
prime position for an upset in the
first round, and Lenny Wilkins
will make it happen for them.
Detroit Pistons: Grant Hill

leads this young and talented

team, but they play a more talent-
ed and just as young team in the
first round.

Miami Heat: Dead meat!

Seattle Sonics: Shawn Kemp
won’t play: in game one, but you
have to figure this team will make
it out of the first round sooner or
later. I say sooner, but not much
further. George Karl couldn’t

coach the Bulls to 50 wins.

San Antonio Spurs: David
Robinson and Sean Elliot are two
of the best playegs.1n the West
and are out to prove it in the play-
offs. This team could make a def-
inite championship run. It all
depends on the play of Avery
Johnson and Vinny Del Negro.

Utah Jazz: Not yet. Not with-
out a center. Stockton and Malone
are past their prime and so are
this teams chances. Time to
rebuild.

LA Lakers: If their players can
refrain from hitting referees, this
team is talented, and has the
X-factor, Magic Johnson. How-
ever, they have to play-the
defending champs in the first
round. Cedric Ceballos will: have
plenty of time to go water skiing
in a week.

Houston. Rockets: This team is
finally healthy. They won the

championship from the sixth seed _

last season so this is an improve-
ment. Olajuwon and Drexler
could easily be back in the finals
for a second straight time.

Portland Trailbalzers: This
team shocked me all season long,
and I’m still not a believer in the
Rod Strickland school of disci-
pline. So, even though Utah isn’t
a tough opponent, Portland won’t
be able to beat them.

Phoenix Suns: Sir Charles is
hurt once again, and Kevin John-
son probably will be, not that this
team had a ‘chance anyway. They
miss Dan Marjle, and the second
round of the playoffs.

Sacramento Kings: I don’t
count out any team that plays the
Sonic in the first round.

RIVER RATS

into the Rats zone and dropped
it for defenseman Pascal
Trepanier. Trepanier blasted a
shot high into the net for a 2-1
Aces lead. Cornwall led Albany
in shots 14—6 for the first peri-
od:

The second period featured
the Rats furiously trying to get
back into the game, outshooting
the Aces 12-4. Labbe made
several key saves to keep Corn-
wall ahead. :

In the third,period, the Rats
again put on the pressure. They
scored the equalizer at 12:23,
when Patrik Elias was able to
flip the puck over a fallen
Labbe during a scramble in
front of the Aces net. The
power play goal tied the score
at two. Cornwall took advan-
tage of a River Rats giveaway
at 15:41 to score the game win-
ning goal. Left wing Doug
Friedman received the puck off
a giveaway clearing attempt by
Rats defenseman Chris
McAlpine, skated in on
Sidorkiewicz, and fired the
puck through the Rats goal-
tender’s pads and into the net
for a 3-2 win. Sidorkiewicz
made 21 saves in the loss, while
Labbe evened his playoff

record at 1+1, making 30 saves.

Notes and Quotes: The River
Rats regular season point total
of 115 was the second best ever
in. AHL _history...Peter
Sidorkiewicz was the I-Tech
Goaltender of the Month for
April... The River Rats second
round opponent, if they betes:
Cornwall in this best of five
series, will be either Rochester
or Adirondack. Rochester leads

the series 2—O...Dunham’s —

shutout streak stands at 143
minutes...Attendance at the two
games was 7,162.

River Rats start first

By JARED TROPP
AND DONALD MILLER

The Albany River Rats, fresh
off a successful regular season in
which they won 54 games, lost
19, and tied 7, faced off against
the Cornwall1l Aces in the first
round of their Calder Cup Series.
The first two games of the series
were played at the Knickerbock-
er Arena on Sunday, April 21,
and Monday, April 22. Cornwall
finished the 1995-96 season
34—39-7, fourth in the Central
Division. The River Rats fin-
ished the season first overall in
the American Hockey League.

It was definitely a playoff
atmosphere when the puck was
finally dropped at 5 o’clock on
Sunday night. Both teams came
out flying, launching shots at
their respective nets. The defens-
es were tested early and often, as
the game became mostly offen-
sive. Rats first team AHL
all-star Steve Sullivan struck
first at 4:03 of the first period.
Given the puck behind the net by
Scott Pellerin, Sullivan waited
until Aces goalie J-F Labbe
committed himself to moving
towards the right part of the net.
The Albany center then stuffed
the puck into the left side of the

net on a backhand wrap-around .

for a 1-0 River Rat lead. Pascal
Lacrosse

Rheaume slipped a backhand
shot past Labbe at 7:52, for a
2-0 Rats lead. The first period
ended 2-0, with the Rats out-
shooting the Aces 16-13.
Defenseman Bryan Helmer
made the score 3-0, converting a
one-timer from Rheaume at
14:52 while on the power play.
Just two minutes later, Sullivan
skated into the Cornwall zone
and fired a slapper that hit
Labbe’s pads, but trickled behind
him and into the net for a 4-0
River Rats lead. This was Sulli-
van’s second goal of the night.
The Rats looked like the same
team that went 12-2 on their
way to winning the Calder Cup
Championship during last sea-
son. After two periods, Albany
led Cornwall in shots 31-22.
Leading by four goals, which

is more than a comfortable mar-.-

gin for this team, the River Rats
concentrated on shutting down
the Aces for the rest of the game.
Things got a little chippy around
six minutes left in the third peri-
od. With the teams skating four
on four, all eight players ensued
into what became a brawl. With
the penalties all settled out and
the players separated, Helmer
scored again at 15:41 of the third
period, this time against back—up
goalie Rich Shulmistra. The final
score was Albany 5, Cornwall 0.

;

Covering University at Albany sports since 1916

were the 3,000 meter racewalks.
Matt Perry won with a time of
16:33.5 to pace the men, and
Samantha Cohen (15:06.87) won
the women’s. Her time estab-
lished a new meet record sur-
passing the old mark of 16:04.0.
Roxanne dePrado was able to
capture second with a time of
17:09.58.

Five records were broken the
first day. RIT’s Tony Fraig won
the 5,000 meters in 14:43.51
beating the old record by 3 sec-
onds (14:46.2). In the pole vault,
Mike Thompson leaped 15’6” to
beat the old mark by one inch.
The women’s events saw three
records fall. In the 3,000 meters,
Lori Hewig’s time of 9:43.93
smashed the previous mark of
9:56.0. Shari Zembek’s throw of
148’7” in the hammer throw,
beat the old mark of 1479”.

On the second day, Albany
showed what they were made of
winning 10 events.

Senior Dennis King was first
in the 1,500 meter run (4:00.32)
and third in the 800. Jayson Gur-
witz ran 51.27 seconds to win
the 400 meter dash. He was also
the lead leg in the 4x400 meter
relay, which Albany won in a
time of 3:25.34.

Albany’s runners outpaced all competitors this weekend.

Albany’s 4x100 meter team set
a meet record. Their time of
42.15 smashed the old record of
42.33.

The women’s team saw many
Albany faces crossing the line in
first. :

Xiamora Diaz was a four time
winner on the day, taking two
individual events and participat-
ing on both relays. Diaz took
both speed events, the 100
meters (12.35) and the 200
meters (25.69). She ran the lead

leg in the 4x100 meter relay
(49.65) and the anchor leg in the
4x400 meter (4:03.02)

Janna Johnston was another
big winner on the day. She won
four of the seven events in the
heptathlon to set a school record
with 4,241 points. She also won
the long jump championship
with a leap of 178.25”.

Mary Ingram finished second
in the 400 hurdles, but her time
of 1:01.41 established a new
school record.

round of playoffs against Aces

Mike Dunham made 27 saves for
the win, and his second straight
shutout (Dunham also shut out
Fredericton, 3-0, in his last play-
off start, last year’s cup clinch-
ing win). Dunham was awarded
first star of the game for his out-
standing effort. Sullivan was
awarded second star of the
game, and Helmer was the third
star of the game. Denis Pederson
collected two assists in the
game. Labbe took the loss, sav-

ing 31 of 35 shots. Shulmistra
saved 3 of 9 shots in mop—up
duty.

Game Two was played the fol-
lowing night. This time, the
Aces came out with more inten-
sity then the River Rats consis-
tently gaining the Albany blue
line and launching shots at Peter
