Weary Danes Close Out By Being Shut Out, 31-0
by Paul Schwartz
SPRINGFIELD — On a crystal
clear Fall afternoon, on a carpet-
like artificial surface, the Danes’
football season came to an end, but
it was not a pretty picture, Albany
battled with the Chiefs for one half,
but a “aperlor Springfield squad
then flexer their muscles, and broke
open a 3-0 halftime lead into a 31-0
victory over the weary Danes on
Saturday.
For the first time in their football
tory, the drubbing left Albany
with threé consecutive losses, and
dropped their final record to 6-3,
For Springfield, the contests mark-
ed the conclusion of a banner cam-
paign. The Chiefs’ 8-2 mark was
their finest since 1965, and the Divi-
sion II club also established new
team season rushing and total yar-
dage records, both of which were
sei in the fourth quarter of Satur-
day's game,
“Before we went out for the
game, we said to the players Here's
what we haye to do to win this
game’,!” said Albany State head
football coach Bob Ford. "We were
probably three touchdown under-
dogs. We had to execute damn-near
perfect, we had to have a total ef»
fort from each player, and third, we
had to go out and enjoy the football
game. And I'm as proud of this
year's team as any other (eam we've
had. Our defense played the fine
first half we've played all season,
but our offense just couldn't
generate enough, I felt bad for the
Seniors — that they had to go out
this way — but over their carcers,
they've had so many thrills and
great ballgames,"”
Although the contest was
scoreless for the first 29 minutes,
the Chiefs held a decided edge. If
the Danes were playing a solid
defensive first half, Springfield's
defense was. utterly flawless
throughout the game, A nine yard
run by halfback Levi Louis with
five seconds remaining before the
half nudged the Danes into positive
total yardage, and also gave Albany
their only first down in the first
half, And with the tiring Dane
defense forced to be on the field the
majority of the time, the Chiefs
began to dominate behind their
huge offensive line, and used the
final half to score 28 points, 21 in
the fourth quarter.
No..team has ever stopped the
Danes as cold as Springfield did,
Terry Walsh started the game at
quarterback for Albany, but his
bruised leg forced an early exit, and
brought on Mike Fiorito, then
Walsh again, and finally, freshman
‘Tom Pratt, The Dane offense simp-
ly could not mount a serious scoring
threat, with their furthest penetra-
tion the Springfield 32 yard line,
Statistically, the numbers were
devastating: Just 0 plays from
scrimmage, 29 rushing yards, 53
total yards, three first downs, and
0-11 on third down conversions.

total control; 88 plays from scrim-

mage, 269 rushing yards, 370 total
yards, 21 first downs, 6-15 on third
down conversions. Albany's
leading ballcarrier was Jack Burger,
with six rushes for 18 yards.
Tailback Dave Godin of Springfield
tallied 137 yards on 31 carries, and
scored three touchdowns,
The Danes had two moderate
chances to score in the first half.
Tony Green's 30 yard punt was
tumed into a diving fair catch by
Albany's Don Bowen on the Dane
49, and an interference penalty
quickly moved the ball to Spr-
ingfield’s 36 yard line. Looking for
a sudden big play, Ford called for a
split end reverse. But Chief defen-
sive end Tom Wisnowski was also
looking for a big play, and his an-
ticipation left him waiting for Scott
Lusher, and he dropped the Dane
for a four yard loss, Fiorito then
overthrew tight end Bruce Dey, and
Albany was soon forced to punt the
ball away, On the next series, Chief
fullback Lonnie Burgess fumbled,
and Dane cornerback Joe Rajcz:
who was around the ball all game
and had an outstanding final per-
formance, recovered on Spr
ingfield’s 32 yard line. This oppor
tunity was immediately wasted, as
Fiorito's pitch to Sam Halstion was
high, and by the time split end Tim
Yotraw was able to fall on the
bouncing football, the Danes had
themselves a 15 yard loss and a lost
scoring chance.
The only points of the first half
came after a 14 play, 82 yard drive
by the Chiefs. Getting Springfield
in field goal range was a pass play
from. quarterback Jim Collis to
iback John Gusti, Faced with a
third-and-seven situation, the lef-
thanded Collis fired a high toss over
the middle, where Gusti leaped and
stretched as far as he could to make
a diving grab for a 24 yard pickup
to the Albany six yard line, From
there, Collis looked to throw again,
but slipped as he faded back, and
linebacker Steve Dey tackled Collis
for an cight yard loss. With 55
seconds left in the half, Springfield
put up the first points of the game,
as soccer-style kicker Jim Oliver
booted a 30 yard field goal, the first
of his career, and the Chiefs ended
fa lackluster first half with a three
point lead,
In the second half, the Chiefs
went 87 yards on their initial posses:
sion after halfime, and after
Godin's one yard plunge gave Spr.
ingfield a 10-0 advantage, the Chief
fight song could be heard at regular
intervals, as the touchdowns piled
up. With 11 fumbles (four lost
possessions) and one interception in
the game, Dane turnovers virtually
handed Springfield two scores in
the final quarter,
“There's no question that thi
wore us down,” said Ford. “They
ran 88 plays, and with their big of

Antarctic Plane Crash Kills 257
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) The New Zealand
airliner that carried 257 persons to their deaths in the An-
tarctic was on the wrong side of the volcano it hit, and the
pilot apparently was to blame, the director of the recovery
operation said today. ‘It would seem there has been a
substantial error in navigation by the pilot," said Roy
‘Thomson, chief of the Antaretic division of New Zealand's
Department of Scientific and Industrial Reasearch. "The
plane was basically on the wrong side of the mountain, It
crashed on the northeast side of Mount Erebus, It should
have been passing the mountain on the northwest side,"*
The DC-10 was on a sight-seeing trip along the Antarctic
Coast when it crashed Wednesday, killing all aboard, in-
cluding 21 Americans, Thomson said he could almost cer-
tainly rule out the possibility of structural or mechanical
failure, ‘In my opinion the plane was certainly in the
wrong place to come down so low," Thomson, one of the

reporters in Auckland before leaving to head up operations

Carter Resolves To Free Hostages
“Tranian Regime Is Outside Civilized Norms”
WASHINGTON (AP) President
Carter said Wednesday he is grimly
fesolved to win the freedom of
American hostages in Iran, but he
warned the American people that
“our determination may be even
more sorely tried”” in days to come.
In a nationally televised news
confer Carter pledged that the
United States would never yield to
blackmail. And he said the takeover
of the U.S, Embassy in Tehran by
Islamic militants ‘shocked the

Sigma Tau Beta, a fraternity on

Which was partially sparked by an
incident in which one of their
“brothers!” was supposedly jumped
on campus while puiting up anti
Iranian posters.
"He followed me, hit me, and

Mike Losak.

again warned the Iranian govern-
ment of ‘grave consequences!’ if
the American captives are harmed.
“Any claim raised by Iran will

Atthe same time, he made it clear
hhe was reserving strong measures

“The United States has other op-
tions available to it, . .but think it
would not be well advised to discuss
them.”
He said he could not lay down a
deadline because to threaten
military action at this point "might
result in the hiarm or death of the
hostages."”
Carter took full responsibility for
admitting the deposed shah of Iran
for cancer treatment. And he said
the ex-ruler would decide when to
leave the United States.
The militants who seized the em-
assy have demanded that the
United States extradite the shah so
that he can be tried as a war
criminal in Iran,
Carter said the decision to admit
the shah was made ‘without
pressure from anyone," including
former Secretary ‘of State Henry
Kissinger, and that the medical
treatment the shah is receiving in a
New York hospital was necessary to
save his life,
"1 have no regrets about
apologies to make,’ Carter s
“because it did help to save a man’s
life and was compatible with the
principles of our country."

He explained that UAS was
aware of the problems but ther were,
difficulties in resolving them “over

He cited such problems as stu-
dent abuse of the refund policy, “It

“There are builtin problems.

added.
In addition, supplying book lists
is a problem, Zahm said, because
faculty do not send in book orders,
soon enough.
Zalim “added the bookstore sells
textbooks at publishers" prices. He
explained, however, reducing non-
book items to prices similar to those
of discount stores is impossi-
ble. ‘To think the bookstore can
be a discount store can’t happen. It
certainly can’t compete with stores
like K-Mart," he explained.
Zahm could not provide a time
when the problems would have been
resolved if there had not been a
demonstration. é)
According to SA Bookstore In
vestigi n.Chair Gary Schatsky,
conctssions still need to be made,
He explained students wanted a "10
percent discount across the board’’
of all non-book items rather than
just five.
hatsky added the bookstore
makes approximately 40 to $5 per-
cent profit on many non-book
items.
During the meeting, Balagna
argued that such a reduction is not
feasible because Follett makes only
41.1 percentage of gross sales. This
means the company receives three

‘Dean said items that ‘ttake awhile ;

“Faster selling items have almost no

many items in the store which pro-

Schatsky added although non-

bookstore is making only a 20 per-

shor you cud be a suckses even if you only got a litel nalig

want to be a suckses Is a kalig edukashon like from this
schul where we lerned ares,
Like for instans if you want to Jern abowt fisiks or
histary or stuff like that then you can if you want to but
you got to work for it, Also you got to open your mind to:
new expeerienses in life and reep what you so: So even if
it dont come so easy at first what eech of us has got to do
is aply hiself or herself and then becaws it is hard and
becaws it is dificult then we lern. Beter lerning comes
from tiying hard to lern somthing and the efort of that
teechus us somthing abow!t areselfs. That is not as boring
as som wud say but interesting. If you do not lern you do
not gro. The trick is to maik the lerning itself fun and

won't be ascared of things or hate things becaws
evrything will be known to you and youll understand it.
Evan latolers and Shas youll understand and wont hate.
See? But the thing of it is you can never know evrything
abowt anything so then you can never really know som-

meant by ary education? Should the college
classroom education be a broad-based
academic study, a pre-professional training
ground or a combination of both?.
According to the Atlantic Monthly article
"Skipping Through College,” both
philosophies have had their ups and downs
For the last 150 years or longer, American
ducation has seen a swing of the pendulum
‘etween scholasticism and vocationalism and
tween permissiveness and authorita
anism.” The pendulum appears to be swing:
‘ag back now from the poltically-oriented,
sberally based education of the 60's to a pro:
eslonalistic trend for the 70's caused by a
tight economy, This Is partially evidenced by a
sudden surge of interest in the study of such
fields as business and accounting,
According to Dean William Holstein of the
School of Business, the percentage of students
applying to the school of business rose from
about 3 percent in 1969 to 40 percent last
year, while size of the school's accepted enroll:
ment has maintained a fairly steady rate with
some modest growth)
‘The general trend appears to be for students
to look to a college education to offer some
preparation for a future career rather than of
fering solely a liberal education, Steve, a
freshman contemplaling an accounting major.

Jill's expectations of college life also con
formed more closely with the “old fashioned!

as opposed to the current trend of professional
training. ‘'l expected to meet all these brilliant

Kathy feels that a college education helped
her discover her interests, “That's helpful for
finding a job but my main interests not learn:

She began, as a freshman, taking a wide
variety of courses and eventually setiled on
anthropology as a major. Due to job market
considerations, Kathy had decided upon com
puter science as her second field. She chang
ed her mind after a few courses because she
found she “couldn't stand it anymore.”
Although Sue is glad she majored in

career to live over again she would have taken
business or computer science courses, "I feel
business courses would break the ice in enter

William Grimes, director of Humanities and
Fine Arts
Advisement Center, stresses that
both academic and professional skills are to be
gained from a liberal arts education. “We fee!
people have tended to lose sight of the most
important things to be gained in a college
education.” People, said Grimes, develop
new interests which make life more enjoyable
and make the people more interesting to
themselves and to others. The individual also
seeks to goin skills and attitudes central to
careers; the ability to reason, analyze, think
and express oneself clearly, It is not the
memorization of particular facts that is impor
tant; "What you carry on is an understanding
of where to find facts you need. It's for this
reason that a lot of business and professional
schools are weighing liberal arts backgrounds
of students more seriously
An examination of the wide variety of
undergraduate fields represented in SUNYA's
MBA program bears this point out. According
to Dean Holstein, a total of 38 different
Undergraduate degrees are
among the 70 or so MBA candidates this year
“One student last year had an undergraduate
degree in sacred music,”
Holstein says that th
business school is to “build a framework that
Will enable the student to apply the disciplines
to a world of practical affairs.” It is for this
reason that the “native’’ SUNYA
undergraduate business majors follows a cur
riculum with a liberal learning base while
transfer students and MBA candidates, who
usually have a liberal background follow a pro:
gram which emphasizes professional basis of
the education
But what about the liberal arts major that

Alive With A Glowing Fervor
Significance in human beings is arbitrary, History books speak of it, professors. It is felt in
the hearts of others, fans, fanatics, eccentrics, the appreciative. You give in to the whim of the
crowd; you are a hero. You have success at the cost of something. What is that something?
Social and emotional acceptance is important to most of us, from day one, when we're put
in size order in the classroom and drink milk at noon, Maybe we were too young to make a
choice then, but what about now? We have been brought up with mostly sterile environments,
product of a product of a well-known, figured out society.
SUNYA fits inio that society very nicely, the higher education flower in the existence vase,
The bosses are churning you out for a pre-ordained community that forces them to educate
you thus, They may be sorry, they may suffer a pang of guilt, But they must follow the
establishment rules for they are establishment employees of the Empire State of the entire na-
tion, It is every bit as sad as it seems, Control is in the wrong hands. It is exhaustive. *
Imagine the fact that you and I could be hugging the ground on an franian desert with a
machine gun in your hands, loaded. Imagine losing everything you felt safe and good about,
Imagine your best friend dying right next to you, how helpless and destroyed you could be,
Imagine emptiness and war and hell.
The Third World is rebelling against America with a frightening hatred on all corners of the
slobe, and we can only turn to each other and then our ‘‘enemies'’ to make things better, In
other words, we must solve our problems at home before going to the world as a nation to be
reckoned with, a world benefactor worthy of respect and a simple thanks,

Dear Big Dom,
We would like to thank you very much for
your generosity in providing subs to satisfy
our craving for the best subs anywhere. When
we were students at Albany State, Walt's subs
were the traditional Sunday night dinner and ‘
midnight snack. In the last few years the
name may have changed, but the taste is sti11
the same ~ definitely worth an 800 mile round
trip. As far as we're concerned, the.words
on the Big Dom's bag shouldn't be "Inside is
the best submarine sandwich in town," but
"Inside is the best submarine sandwich in the
world." And we should know - we traveled all
the way from Washington, D.C, ‘just to pick
some up for lunch.

“Lf we put all the significance on

“OF the three gumes, the most

of this area's most outstanding per-

Albany Times-Union last week.
Three staff writers for the
newspaper who covered area col-

Rajczak.
“1 was very happy to have been
the one selected. There were so
many others who could have gotten
it,"” said Rajezak when asked about
his reaction to the honor.
Players from RPI, Union and
Siena along with Albany were under

believes he has one outstanding
quality that makes him a great

fierce competitor but he has the

which is very important on
defense," said Ford,
Based on a system which award

The schedule this year shows a
