Unfortunately for the Albany State wrestl-
ing team, their holiday break had to end.

After sweeping their three meets during the
four week winter recess, the Danes, in their
first match of the new semester, were dealt
out a severe licking by Division II Springfield
College, 38-7, Wednesday afternoon at the
University Gym,

but praise for the victors, whose record
climbed to 13-4; "They're a quality team,"*

most exciting match of the afternoon, It led

Americans were deadlocked at 4-4 until
Averill scored a spectacular three-point
takedown with only 15 seconds remaining in
the match,

The triumph was even sweeter for Averill
considering he was beaten by Kosinski earlier

in the season at a West Point Tournament.
In order for Averill to increase his personal
dual meet Fecord 10 10-1 — his only loss con

ing against Onconta — he had to overcome

13. )

<1,

But after the Balog match, it was all
downhill for the Purple Gang. Springfield
‘swept the next seven matches, which included
two pins and a forfeit at the heavyweight slot
with the match out of reach,

Next up on the Danes’ slate will be on

coach John Quattrocchi, who is currently in
hhis first full season as head coach of the
Engineers.

He guided his team to a victory in the same
gymnasium he has so many fond memories
‘of, beating a coach he has nothing but
respect and admiration for.

“+1 told the players in the lockerroom we
had the second best coach-and the best
players,"* said Quattrocchi,

The Engineers won the game by using the
style of play that was Quattrocchi's
trademark as a player. They played smart
and shot extremely well (61% from the field),
especially foul shots in préssure situations
down the stretch,

“When he (Quattrocchi) played here,””
recalled Albany State trainer Jack Koelmel,
“he wasn’t our quickest guard but he was our
smartest player. Just like (Dane point guard
Dan) Croutier he would want to handle the
ball at the end of close games. When he got
fouled he would always hit the foul shots."*

With 20 seconds remaining and Albany
trailing 58-57 RPI forward John Mahony was
fouled around the mid-court stripe. Mahony
missed the front end of the one and one, The
Danes were unable to capitalize on this
mistake as Engineer foward Robert Fassett
came up with the loose ball. He was promptly
fouled and calmly sank both of his shots,
That made it four straight in the final 1:06
and six out of seven in the final $:41 of the
game for Fassett, not too shabby considering
Fassett is a 44% foul shooter on the season.

“1 was making them in the beginning and
that built up my confidence,” said Fassett.

Albany guard Dave Adam then hit a
baseline jumper to bring the Danes to within
point again, 60-59.

‘Adam then fouled Mike Giannaccini on
the ensuing inbounds play. That put Gian-
naccini on the foul tine with seven seconds
still left on the clock, The RPI guard canned
both of his chances to give the Engineers a
three pointlead that iced the game,

“Give RPI credi ‘Albany Head
Coach Dick Sauers. "They did what they had
to do to win,”

Danes come up short; beaten by Engineers, 62-61

In the first half, attempting to stop the
Engineers’ high scoring guard Eric
Weinberger, Albany utilized a box-and-one
defense. While this defense effectively
stymied Weinberger it neglected to stop
Fasset, who scored seven points in the first
three minutes as RPI jumped out to a quick
9-4 lead.

The hot hands of Wilson Thomas and
John Mracek enabled Albany to take their
first lead of the game, 31-30 with 3:05 left in
the first half,

While Thomas scored most of his 14 first
half points off of sharp passes from Croutier
(10 assists on the game), Mracek was making
his own opportunities. Mracek had two steals
and five points in a span of 1:42,

Both teams traded baskets to finish out the
half as Albany went into the lockerroom
‘ahead 35-34,

The Danes came out strong at the outset of
the second half. They opened up a six point
lead, 43-37 for their biggest lead of the game.

But RPI never gave up. As the Danes
shots stopped falling the Engineers scratched
and clawed their way back. With 5:41 re-
maining RPI captured the lead for good,
50-49.

On three occasions in the final two minutes
the Danes were able to cut the deficit to one,
but they failed to make the big play.

“When Mahony missed that foul shot it
was our chance to win the game,” said
Sauers on the Danes’ best opportunity to
have the ball with a chance to take the lead
fate in the game.

Perhaps game high scorer Thomas (24)

summed it up best: ‘They played better of-
fensively than us. Doc (Satiers) said before
the game it was going to be one of the
toughest defenses we would play against. He
was right.”

Governor Mario Cuomo's proposed budget for 1984 plans to enact
a tuition hike which has generated great controversy among both
SUNYA student leaders and members of the New York State Sentate
and Assembly.

The budget would increase tuition for undergraduates by $200, even
though a $300 hike was imposed by last year's budget. According to
Student Association of the State University President Jiin Tierney, if
these two increments are combined this represents a 47 percent in-
crease in two years.

Last year, graduate student tuition was increased by $450 and this
year it would be incremented again by $350. Out of state and foreign

students have been the hardest hit by Cuomo’s tuition hikes, according
{0 Tierney, This year their tuition would be raised by $500, last year it
was raised by $900.

“Stanley Fink, (D-Brooklyn), Speaker of the Assembly, has come
out strongly against this increase," said Tierney. ‘We are looking
towards him to support us in fighting the hike." Student Association
President Rich Schaffer said that he would be meeting with Mark
Allan Siegel, chair of the Higher Education Department of the State
‘Assembly, Ken Lavalle and other representatives to discuss this mat-

ter,

Schaffer said that February 27 is designated as the day SUNYA
students will march on the capital to fight the hike. He explained the
lobbying will not stop there, but will take place over a period of time,
He added that other SUNY institutions will be busing in students to
protest against the proposed budget.

Tierney hopes to work for a $21 million revenue increase to over-
come the proposed tuition hike, Seight million of which would be used
to avert a $150 dorm increase. This would be the fifth dorm increase in
five years, These increases are well above the rate of inflation, he iidd-
ed. ‘‘It is cheaper to live off-campus for 12 months with a kitchen, div-
ing room and private bathroom than it is to live in a dorm for seven
and a half months where you're not even offered full tenant rights,"
said Tierney,

Schaffer said, ‘Right now the state is in a semi-good financial state,
The $20 million which will be generated by the tuition hikes can be
derived from somewhere else."* He pointed out that the state division
for youth, which handles juvenile delinquents, spends $175 million per
yeat on 2,500 children. ‘This is about $8,600 per person,"" he noted.
‘The Brookwood hospital has 60 patients and 120 staff members,
Schaffer noted. ‘The State spends wastefully in some areas,” he
maintained,

Gary Fryer, Press Secretary for Cuomo, said ‘Everyone asks ‘Why
can't the cuts come from somewhere cise?’ Mental hospitals are
primarily dependent for the state for survival, correctional facilties
which are already overcrowded are being clamored for by citizens who
are sick and tired of crime, There is not a shortage of legitimate need,
only of resources.””

Tierney said, ‘Last year Cuomo wanted huge reductions in posi-

(UUP), only 1,400 positions were cut SUNY wide instead of the 4,000

Reagan ends
speculation
on candidacy

Washington, D.C.
(ASSOCIATED PRESS) President
Reagan, saying he needs another
term to complete his work, is a can-
didate for re-clection with his sup-
porters predicting “‘a close, tough
election," and his oppostion saying
the voters will “reject four more
years of danger, four more years of
pain.""

Reagan ended any lingering
doubts about his political plans

day night in which he said, “Our
work is not finished."” The presi-
dent also made it clear he wants
George Bush to continue as vice
president,

On his first day as a candidate for
re-election, the 72-year-old presi-
dent’s schedule began with a
meeting with arms negotiator Ed-
ward L. Rowny. He had a midday
speech to'-religiots broadcasters
while ‘his wife, Naricy, ‘planned to
visit his campaign headquarters.

“It was a mutual decision," Mrs.
Reagan said in a statement, ‘+I sup-
port him fully."

Reagan, who turns 73 on Feb. 6,
is the oldest person ever to serve as
president and his age and possible
‘objections by his wife were usually
cited in speculation that he might
decide against a second term,

But the president clearly is ready
to run,

In an interview with Newsweek

magazine, Reagan gave a preview of
his strategy against Walter F, Mon-
dale, the front-runner for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
tion.
“1 think he has tried to be all
things (o all people," Reagan said
‘of Mondale, “And J think he's
made more promises than probably
can possibly be kept."

The president was no more
specific about his second-term
goals, Neither did he mention trou-
ble spots like Lebanon, where more
than 260 U.S, servicemen have been
killed, or Central America,

Oral History records memories of Albany’s past

By Alicia Cimbora
STAFF WRITER

If enthusiasm, dedication and competence

were the only ingredients necessary for suc-
cess Ivan Steen and Katie Gurnett would be
problem free,

Steen, an assistant history professor at
SUNYA, and his research assistant, Gurnett,
are in the process of compiling a series of
taped interviews, known as oral history,
which will record the recent history of
Albany. Oral history documents significant
events'in history as related by the people who
actually lived through those times. As Steen
said, “What we're doing is preserving
something for the ages."” Gurnett noted that
“Oral history is people telling what really
happened, It gets down the stories of people
we wouldn't otherwise have; it is something
you won't get out of a textbook."

The task of collecting oral history is not an
easy one, said Steen, Interviews are con-
ducted by Steen, Gurnett and trained
graduate students. All interviews are done on
tape and then transcribed. these transcrip-
tions are then allowed to be edited by the per-
son interviewed before they are released for
inspection by residents,

The collection of oral history is a time con-
summing job. It is estimated by Steen that, tak-
ing into account the time needed for
research, interviewing, transcribing,

auditing, editing and the finishing touches, it
takes about 40 hours of work to produce one

hour of interview. ‘It's a very slow process,"
he added.

When the program was first initiated in
April of 1982, it was with the intent of mak-
ing the late Mayor Erastus Corning its main
focus, said Steen, According to Steen, Corn-
ing was to have been “our lead-off person in
an oral history program in this region."
When approached about participating in the
oral history project, Mayor Corning was
“‘very enthusiastic"” about it and agreed to
cooperate in any way he could to help, Steen
said. Unfortunately, he added, due to his
Jong illness and hospitalization with em-

physema, only a half-hour of interview was
recorded before his death.

funds to fix leaky roofs on campus

By Aileen Brown
SPP wniTER

Roof repairs and new safety equipment are proposed for SUNY-Albany in a $3.3 million
recommendation in Governor Cuomo's 1984 executive budget.

The funds, if approved with the rest of the budget by the state legislature, will be used to
repair seven leaky roofs on academic buildings, and to repair and replace fire alarms,
sprinklers, fire doors, fire extenguishérs and other safety equipment according to Cuomo

budget officials.
“This money is being allocated as part of-a continuing program in which repairs to the
structures of buiklings are made throughout the SUNY system,” said Hugh Toohey of

SUNY Central, The request for money for repairs initially comes from each individual
campus, and we allocate money on the basis of these requests, The most pressing requests
are funded first, and then those requests which we don't have enough money to fund must
be put aside until the nex’ year.”

“There is a priority system in which funds are dispersed,” said Chuck Thompson, an ad-
ministrator at SUNY Central, who is involved in the construction fund. "*Roofs are a high
priority. They get priority preference, because they are extremely important. If the roofs
are not repaired, eventually they will damage the rooms and objects inside the buildings,
which will lead to even more extensive repairs. By repairing these seven roofs at Albany, ¥
can avoid even more extensive and costlier repairs at a later date,” he said.

‘Thompson further indicated that the number of repairs in the SUNY system were exten-
sive. “We can never get all the money we ask for for repairs. There just is never eno
money for all the repairs requested, The fight is being won to some extent, however.

Number of repairs is extensive in the SUNY sysiem.

The collection of oral history is a time-consuming job.

feels that when people die, their memoties go

with them, and “if we don't do this, no one
will ever really know what went on’? in the 42
years that Corning was Mayor of Albany,
The kind of personal accounts sought after in
oral history are not to be found in the
newspapers or in the minutes of a meeting, he
explained. "We have lost Erastus Corning’s
view of 50 years of Albany politics,” Steen
said.

Despite the loss of Corning, Steen’s en-
thusiasm for the project remains. As Steen
said, ‘we're recording the Corning years”
and there are still a lot of people around to
interview. Among the people in mind to
terview are Vic Lord, who was the h
the liberal party under Corning, and_Bill
Hennessy, who was the Commissioner of the
Department of Transportation and is
presently the New York State Democratic
chairman,

In addition to the Albany project, the oral
history program is also documenting the
years that Nelson A, Rockefeller was gover

of

nor of New York. Partial interviews have
already been conducted with members of the
Rockefeller administration such as the then
iewtenant governor Malcolm Wilson,

A new project being worked on by Gurnett
involves using Albany's inner-city youth to
obtain an oral history of Albany's black com-
munity, According to Gurnett, the project
will emphasize contact with community
Jeaders and scholars and will “give them a

are look at local history."

The oral history program is one of
SUNYA's special programs which allows for
undergraduates as well as graduate students
to become involved. According to Gurnett,
they have 7-10 students per semester doing
research for the program. The research to be
done in preparation for an interview is exten-
sive and students who participate in the pro-
gram receive 3 credits, she added, Senior

New phone system planned

By, Bay Eckel

New phones may be installed in the dorms:
as part of a new multi-million dollar

Currem plans for the new phone system
would include converting faculty and ad-
ministration phones to touch-tone lines as
part of an integrated voice and dat system,
said the officials, The user could forward
calls to another extension, transfer calls
without operator assistance, and inform a
This option could save SUNYA $8 million in
phone costs,

University officials are still studying
various options to determine whether or not
they will include .the dorms in the new
system. A final plan should be ready in
February, according to Leif Hartmark, Chair
of the Technology Coordination Committee,

Continental Telephone Company, the
lowest of 11 bidders, recommended by
the Technology Coordination Committee.
Continental's bid of $2.9 million would in-
clude the plans for faculty and administra-
tion phones, For $5.1 million, Continental
will include the four quads in the system as
well,

University Controller, Leo Neveu, told
University News that '*We anticipate that if
we remained with the present system over a
10 year period, with anticipated increases in
costs during that time, it would cost us over
$16 million, If we choose the first option,
(faculty and administrative phones) however,
the total payments would be approximately
$7.3 million, which is almost half,”

Whether os not to install the new phones in

the dorms is one of the bigger decisions left
to be mad Neveu. ‘The whole purpose
is to save money. If there is a potential for
reducing costs by including the dorms, we
will," he added,
Neveu explained that along with the other
cost-saving feattires, the new system will have
“east cost routing". He explained that when
the user dials a long distance number, the
system will automatically route the call
through the least expensive line which might
by SPRINT, MCI, or WATS, All the rates
Il be Built into the system based on time of
day, destination, and the line used, he added.
But the feature only pays off if there is a
high volume of usage which could come from
the students, he added. ‘We just have to
decide whether adding the students and ob-
taining the high volume will be cheaper than
just including the faculty. If the residence
halls are added in to the system, students
could see a reduction in their long distance
phone bills after the initial cost of the system
is paid for,"” he asserted,

Pogue to review alcohol committee final report

By Jim O'Sullivan

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Kegs and beerballs might be allowed in
students’ rooms and suites if the recommen-
dations of the Alcohol Policy Review Com-
mittee are adpoted by Vice-President for Stu-
dent Affairs, Frank Pogue,

The committee, which was deadlocked on
the bulk container issue, met for 2 hours Fi
day morning and advised Pogue that the mi
jority supported permitting kegs and beerball
in suite rooms, said Student Association
President Jeff Schneider. Student leaders
later said they viewed this as a major victory
for student rights.

Schneider, however, cautioned students
not to be too optimistic because the commit-
tee’s decision is only a recommendation.
“Just because the committee came up with
the decision doesn't mean that's the rule,"” he
explained.

The committee was formed by Pogue last
September to draft recommendations for a
new campus alcohol policy because of the
newly adopted New York State 19-year-old
drinking age, In its final report last week, the
committee reported that it was unable to
decide whether or not to allow bulk con-
tainers in student dormitories. As a result,
Pogue asked them to meet once more to try
to resolve the conflict,

Pogue noted that he did not include the
committee's recommendation on the bulk
container issue in the final report because the
Task Force had not reached a unanimous
consensus in that area; though, he said, he
would consider the input he got during Fri-
day's meeting,

“There was some consistency within the
group for the rights of students...to have

Research Center’s staff focuses
attention on ecological problems

By, lene Weinstein

While acid rain remains a problem from
above, the Atmospheric Science Researc!
Center will try to stay on top of the situation,

The research center, commonly referred to
ay A.S.R.C., is located in the Earth Science
building and concentrates on areas of na-
tional priority, according to SUNYA. Vic
President in charge of Research and Educ-
tional Development, John Shumaker, It is
the perogative of the director and the staff
“of the center to decide what is to be resear-

but they must look to what issues are
current, he said, adding that the national
research agendas change from year to year
Ten years ago the concentration could have
been in “‘cloud-seeding, but today it’s pro-
bably acid rain and air pollution," Shumaker
noted,

Research and education are the prime con-
siderations for A.S.R.C., according to Ray-
mond Falconer, the first full-time employee
at the center and a recent retiree

The center was founded in 1961 through
the efforts of Dr. Vincent Schaefer, formerly
of the General Electric Research Center in
Schnectady. Schaefer, according to Falconer,
“was interested in founding a center at a col-
lege in this area and he found the greatest
amount of interest at the state university."
Schaefer became the first director of
A.S.R.C. and remained several years before

Civic center

University President Vincent O'Leary
will present plans for a Civic Center and
field house to the Albany County Com-
mission on the Civic Center this Thurs-
day, according to Vice Presideni for
University Affairs Lewis Welch.

The plan will propose “‘a combined
civic center and field house” to be built on
approximately 70 acres of SUNYA pro-
perty on Fuller Road across from the
University, said Welch,

Welch declined to give details on the
University's plan, but called it "a very
good proposal,"”

Workforce levels up

Businesses in the United States are
“rebuilding their workforce levels" and
“intend to hire additional workers",
which indicates that unemployment levels
are coming down, according to a survey
conducted by Manpower Temporary Ser-

employment placement agency.

“Rising employment is indicated in the
services, construction, finance, insurance,
real estate, and education sectors", ‘along
with high levels in manufacturing, accor-

There has since been only one other direc-
tor, Volker Mohnen, who holds the position
currently, Mohnen is an international expert
on acid rain, according to Professor Bernard
Vonnegut, who is also on staff at the center.

Besides the current research on acid rain
and air pollution, the staff of A.S.R.C. Is
working on research in solar energy, wind
energy, the development of sparks in the at-
mosphere and the transportation of material
from bodies of water to the atmosphere.

Aiding in their research, according to Von-
negut are the many weather stations, one of
which is located on Mohawk Tower and
another of which is located at the summit of
Whiteface Mountain, These stations. “do
summer and winter fieldwork," explained
Vonnegut, ‘and conduct research on icing,
air pollution, and acid rain,’

“There is a great deal of overlap in interest
between the staff at A.S.R.C. and the faculty
of the Atmospheric Science department,"
stated Vonnegut. ‘On paper there are two
distinct groups...but neither really pays at-
tention to the division,” Vonnegut said.
Some staff members of A.S.R.C. enjoy the
title of “Research Professors,” while some
professors from the Atmospheric Science
department are involved in research, Several
SUNYA students have been involved in
research programs at A.S.R.C: as well, ac-
cording to Vonnegut.

The resemblance between the academic
department and the research center ends,
however, at the exchange of staff members,
“The chairman of the department reports to
the dean (of the College of Science and
Mathmatics) and the director of A.S.R.C.
reports to Vice President Shumaker," stated
Vonnegut,

“The role of my office is to manage the
center overall, the director manages it on a
day-to-day basis,"’ said. Shumaker,

‘The research center is funded through two

Recent technologies haven't reduced women’s work,

Modern technology not easing
workload on modern housewives

By Bob Hanlon

Many modern appliances in American kit-
chens have done little to reduce a house
traditional burdens, according to a
University of New York Albany
Sociologist who has written several articles
and plans at least three books dealing with
the status of women and technology in the
home and workplace during this century

Associate Professor Christine Bose and a
dozen other scholars, including Natalie
Sokoloff and Rosyln Feldberg, have compil-
zd essays on many topics. The issues range
from sexual harassment and Affirmative Ac-
ion to health care issues and the hidden im-
pact of technology in The Hidden Aspects of
Women's Work to be completed this fall

The collection considers the position of
women in the home and workplace at the
turn of the century and traces the progress
and failures of their efforts to be liberated
from traditional roles.

Bose, who also holds a Women's Studies
appointment from the University,, describes
the ‘hidden aspects" involved in a woman's
work as “the kind of work that is hidden
from women themselves, as well as from
society, because it’s not thought of as work
The hidden ways that technologies in the
home have not just helped ease the work, but
also increased the amount of work individual
women ean take over."

As an example of this ‘*hidden work”, she
mentions picking up children's clothes, ©
tying ashtrays, and food shoppinj
necessary tasks, ustally left to women.

Bose says that recent technologies, small
appliances, and other household aids have
not decreased the volume of a woman's
work. The w
and crepe maker "c
from anything." Regarding two more recent
devices, the dishwasher and tra
she said “it's not clear that these take much’
less time.""

She adds that before many of the
modern appliances, "women used to get help
from the spouses and kids,"" but that after
these, ‘those people had bought their wa
out,” leaving the woman to do all the work
by herself.

Modern technology has eased housework,
but not the time spent on it, Bose says, Most
of a woman's work is now consumption and
child care: lighter tasks, but just as time con-
suming, she added, She maintained that stai
dards have risen to require more cleanliness,
which increases the number of jobs which
have fallen to women,

The woman working in an office also has
“hidden aspects"? to her job, she contended,
According 10 Bose,"*a ‘hidden aspect’ is the
kind of ‘social work’ that goes on, Much of
the job is not just clerical work, but making
sure people get along, smoothing out dif.

training new people and bosses that
come into the offic
that famous secretarial task: making coffee,

The Hidden Aspects of Women's Work
makes a comparison of women’s work today
to that of the turn of the century, With a lack
of electricity, indoor plumbing, and central
heating, women had to light gas lamps in
each room, keep the rooms warm by
periodically stoking fires, and haul tubs of
water from a nearby trough or water source,
“Imagine trying to do laundry, You had to
heat four different tubs of water, for the

ashing, blueing, starching, and then the rin-
sing...it literally became a ‘laundry day’,""
she explained,

Middle class women, Bose noted, often
had help with tasks from their children, paid
servants, or boarders. The paid servants
usually included working class women and
newly arrived immigrants, both in need of
work, Bose added.

She explained that working class women
“weren't liberated from the
technology, because they were al
They had to have paying jobs.""

Bose pointed out that the first two decades
of this century witnessed an expansion of the
economy, cutbacks in immigration, and the
advent of child labor laws in many states.
This, coupled with the development. of
utilities and the technological infrastructure,
such as running water and electricity, she ad:
ded, made household tasks slightly easier.
But she noted that the economy Was absorb-
ing the traditional house helpers, leaving
many middlelass women to carry a heavier
share of their own housework.

Ing scene, the car kills a man who dropped
ashes on her upholstery and breaks the arm of
another man, all to the beat of George
Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone.” The car's
radio plays only 50's tunes. While she was be-
Ing totaled her doors suddenly locked and the
radio blared, “I Hear You Knockin’, But You
Can't Come In,"

If you're into cars stay home and watch
Magnum P.l. or Knightrider for free. If,
however, you get pleasure from Stephen King
novels, read his latest, Pet Semetary, and
hope that a good film adaptation can be pro-
duced.

Alice McDermott

“Well, there ate Iwo new eating spols in
Albany being advertised to students. The first
is the Half—Moon Cafe, a small
semi—vegitarian cafe five blocks past the New
York State Museum. The second is the Dut-
chess, known affectionately as “the Patroon
Room at right,” located on the second floor of
the campus center

We walked into the Half-Moon Cafe one
Particularly dark, stormy evening. The white
walls surrounding us, instead of making us
more comfortable. merely made us stand up
straighter. | admit I've never quite grasped the
psychology of colors, but | don’t think the
‘owners of the Half-Moon really have, either
The multitude of brightly colored abstract ple-
tures, from Monica Miller's animation (exhibits
change monthly), were interesting, but only
added a small amount of color to the
restaurant. Even the wood tables, chairs, and
counters did little to soften the place.

We arranged our things at the table in the
window and walked up to the counter to
check out the menu

Semi-vegitarian and inexpensive) Is the best
way to describe the food, The rates ( Espresso
$.50, Cappachino,Mochachino, $1.00,
Omeleties $2.50. fruit, cheese and bread
plate $1.50) were all very reasonable.

Four-thirly didn’t seem too early to begin
dinner, so my friend ordered the italian
sausage sandwich and mochachino. | decided
to try something unusual (at least for me), and
asked for a Tofu sandwich, black bean soup
with sour cream, and the mochachino.

We went back to our window seat, worrying
about the poor weather. Ina few minutes we
were called and told that our food was ready.

We clambered up and, caleteria-style,took our

Ed Marussich UPS

silverware from the containers, got ourselves
napkins, and went back to the table to munch
away,

The Tofu sandwich (mashed tofu with
spices and celery) was plentiful, but bland
The black bean soup was filled with
vegetables, and was made much richer by the
dollop of sour cream. The home-made italian
sausage sandwich, served on ‘your choice of
breads,’ had the spicy tastiness thal the tofu
lacked

The mochachino, a chocolate flavored cap:
pachino, seemed a little more coffee than
chocolate, and the chocolate lover in me was
disappointed, But, of course, that's how it's
supposed to be. Certainly one of the most
pleasing parts of the meal, since | was treating,
was that the final check came to only $7.35.

The Dutchess was a very different
restaurant. The lights were dim and soothing,
and candles or flowers were placed on each
table. As soon as we arrived, the hostess very
graciously seated the five of us in this romantic
setting,

Being very hungry, we decided to order

side dishes to split as an appetizer. The place
wasn't crowded, but service was slow anyway.
When our dishes finally arrived, we shared
deep-fried potato pulls($1.75) and the com-
bination basket, which included fried zuchinni,
fried mushrooms, and onion rings at $2.75. A
friend ordered New England Clam Chowder
at $.75 a cup. Of the three, the potato pufls
were the big winners, Accompanied by a sour
cream and horseradish dip, they were crunchy
potatos the size of ping-pong balls, not at all
like the frozen Tater-Tots I had imagined. The
soup and the combo: basket tied for second, as
the soup was thick and creamy and the
vegetables appeal rested in the freshness of the
produce used.

Moving on to the main course, we noticed
that the menu began to look vaguely familiar.
Why, most of the foods served in the Dutchess
bear a strong resemblance to the Patron
room fare. The roast beef and the turkey club
are old hands from the luncheon restaurant
The spinach fettuchini (without the walnuts)

there. are improvements in the friday night
menu,

Omelette selections, for example, are im:
proved. The eleven varieties range from the
basic cheddar or Western, to the more adven-
turous alfalfa sprouts or toriato, The side
dishes, which include Buffalo Wings and
French Fried Steak Fries, are a welcome addi-
tion,

Eying the selection, my dining mates, Marle
and Janet, ‘each ordered the London Bridge
at $3.95, while Sue and Lisa both decided on
the spinach fettucine for $4.95, while | asked
for a Western Omelette at $3.50,

The London Bridge Is sliced London broil,
with mushroom sauce and a roll, Although it
wasn't rare (as described in the menu), but
well-done, the mushroom sauce saved the
dish, Lisa and Sue, on the other hand, were
very unhappy with the spinach fettucine, fin-
ding It too bland and without the promised
walnuts, although a special request for
parmesan cheese did perk It up a bit, My own
Westerm omelette looked like a three-egger,
and was filled with ham, cheese, and onions.

Since we were still on campus, the food was
rated on an A-E scale, and recieved a B.

The Interesting differences between the
Hall-Moon and the Dutchess is less the food
they serve than thelr philosophies and ultimate
joals, The Half-Moon provides interesting,
varlated food at low prices, at the expense of
ocation and atmosphere, The Dutchess, on
he other hand, through it's central location,
offers campus dwellers an attractive, Inexpen:
sive, easy to reach place for dinner, sacrificing
a litle on the food

But if you are downtown looking for

Committee failures

he'final report of the Alcohol Task Force Advisory
Committee has dealt very indecisively with the two
key controversial issues the committee had (0 face.

The issties are how to run functions that serve alcohol on
campus, and how to deal with the use of kegs and beer balls,

The report reflects the internal struggles of the committee
to come up with a coherent and cohesive alcohol policy for
the campus. In one cor- cre the student representatives
and other members w vere working to safeguard the

‘moral and legal rights o1 the students,

_ Facing them were those who, in part, were driven by con-
siderations of managing student lifestyles in the most
trouble-free manner possible. Include in this faction John
Martone, Director of Residential Life, and Assistent Direc-
tor Liz Radko, A third group battling in this arena included
Director of Physical Plant Dennis Stevens and John
Henighan, formerly with Public Safety and now affiliated
with Financial Management, From this cast of characters
came the Committee's nebulous report,

The issue of governing parties in the dormitories was one
of the major causes of confusion over the alcohol policy last
Semester, and one of the main reasons for setting up the ad-
visory committee, Yet this issue was clearly not resolved.

Under pressure to reduce the financial and physical burden
of alcohol-related cleanup and repairs in the dorms, Martone
and Radko pulled a bureaucratic rabbit out of their hat,
They were able to push a resolution through the committee
which stated that any function serving alcohol on campus
and charging a fee would have to secure a special permit
from the Albany County Alcohol License Control Board,

COLUMN

But the resolution stops there,

By perpetuating last semester's confusion, strike up some
kind of victory for the people at Residential Life who have
been trying to harass, regulate and thwart the freedom of
choice and personal development of the students. We are,
for better or worse, no longer in an age where forced moral
behavior is an‘acceptable notion; the only way to expect
responsibility from students is to allow them the freedom to
choose it,

The same goes for the question of allowing bulk con-
tainers, such as kegs and beer balls, into the dorms. It would
make Martone's and Radko’s job a lot easier if their people
did not have to deal with the problems they see as accomany-
ing student drinking. But regulation will not foster respon-
sibility, and it wil establish a precedent of infringing upon
the rights of students, Reportedly, it took an appearance by
Dr. Frank Pogue, who is responsible for formulatit
Policy, to sway the committee last Friday to decide in favor
of allowing kegs and beer balls to remain where they belong.

Although it inspired plenty of healthy discussion,
pears that the committee has failed to resolve what most
fieeded resolution. If the permits law truly needs to be ef-
fected in dorm lounges, then a mechanism must be set up to
make the law workable. And a clear policy concerning bulk
containers must be asserted and understood. Anarchy born
out of confusion and resentment is no substitute for sensible
cooperation,

Ur. Pogue is sincerely concerned with balancing ad-
ministrative necessity with fairness to students and their
rights. Hopefully, he will be able to carry
disappointing results of his advisory committee,

he final report of the Bus Task Force leaves even moze

to be desired. It was pretty clear that the President's

committee was operating within the standard a4.
ministration context: outside of service to Alumni, Draper
and the Wellington, students should expect nothing. Busse
vice to off-campus students is a veritable luxury,

Although the committee did explore a variay of
possibilities, with this attitude as a'starting point it could only
‘go so far. ¢

The University cannot provide housing for thousands of
students, The only available housing is several miles from
where the school was located. That it should not be con.
sidered a priority to provide transportation assistance 1
these students is ludicrous.

Albany is the capitol of New York State. Many students at
‘one time find themselves in some association with the site
government, and the many diverse opportunities it provides
To alienate students from this great and unique potential
would be a crime.

Our beloved university is located in an area practically ba.
ren of social and cultural goings on, not to mention oppor
tunities for commerce and employment. We need access to
this city in order to become active and fulfilled citizens,

If the University is unable to provide for students the bus
service they need as members of the university and Albany
communities, then its time someone else got a shot at it,

A system could be set up in which service is run primarily
by the Student Association. Drivers, mechanics and other
positions could be operated through a work-study program,
This would save a great deal of money, and it would assist
many students financially. This system would certainly be
more responsive to the needs of students.

The need for radically more effective bus service at this
university is a priority the Task Force preferred 10 pass up.
Unfortunately, much of their hard work will be in vain unless
something new and constructive is done with it. t's never to
late to change,

Yet, in being unpolitical, we need not perceive the modern

characteristic of our country, in that we almost ‘consume’
‘our candidates. We are bought with votes of confidence and
are sold on personality images, The behavior of our politi-

American democratic process has well adjusted itself to the

and the media as a whole,

Images of The Making of the President:1968 come to

campaign advertisements for different regions of the coun-
try, each one promising something different and often con-

tradictory to other regionally tailored promises, Television
has allowed the candidate to reach large sections of the
Population but it has also put him under close visual
scrutiny, He becomes an object that is judged more like mer-
chandise than as a political actor, and to cater to the public

A lot of people are aware of this and I bring it up not to
Preach, but to pose some thought in an attempt to gain
greater insight into our government. A greater lesson can be
learned from this small displa

Our electorate has not reached an all time intellectual low
with the advent of television, America has never really been
at a point in its history where a president has been voted in

Perhaps our elections are but a charade which satisfies the
Public and keeps one man from staying in office too long and
gaining too much control.

The nature of the presidential office today hats much W do

If elections seem like a charade, it could quite possibly be

LETTERS

Record straightened

To the Editor:

This letter is directed toward Campus Center Audio Visual
in response to the article about the International Film Group
which appeared in the Tuesday Dec 6 edition,

Somewhere in the course of the interview, International
Film Group's feelings concerning Campus Center Audio
Visual seemed to have gotten a bit confused. We would like
to set the record straight at this time,

We were very grateful to all of the people working at Cam-
pus Center Audio Visual for the help they gave us last
semester when we really needed it. Somehow Campus Center
Audio Visual was blamed for International Film Groups's
problems which, certainly, was not the case. We hope this
clears up the unfortunate misunderstanding.

India’s day

To the Editor:
January 26 is India’s Republic Day. Thirty four years ago,
India adopted a Constitution declaring herself a Federal,
Democratic and Secular Republic and guaranteeing to her

} pcople freedoms of speech, thought, expression, worship and
assembly, India's Constitution is very much like the U.S.
Constitution and it contains a clearly defined ‘Fundamental
# Rights” and “Directive Principles of State Policy” requiring,
the government to strive to achieve the Fundamental rights,
> For the people of India, January 26 is a day of rejoicing,
Hut also a time of stock taking on what are her achievements

and failures. In the press, one generally reads about riots,

floods, and poverty. It is rather unfortunate that some

significant achievements of India--the largest democracy in
the world--go unnoticed, India has made great strides during
the last 34 years especially in the economic field. The
preindependent stagnant and dependent economy, has been
modernized and made more self-reliant. After a century of
static and rather declining economic standards, a modest rate
of growth in per capita income has continuously been achiev-
ed since 1950, despite the growth of population (from 361

million in 1950 to 690 in 1983).

‘An outstanding achievement of India is the diversification
and expansion of industry. Before independence, India had
only a few consumer goods industries, Today, India is self
sufficient in all consumer goods industries and also in several
basic goods industries like steel, cement, fertilizers, ship-
buildings and railroads. India has built, since independence,
@ strong infrastructure: a network of irrigation, canals,
hydro and thermal power stations, regional and power grids,
and transportation system--the largest in Asia,

Today, Indian scientists, technologists and en,
working in many areas, expanding frontiers of science and
technology, As a result, industry is now able (0 undertake
self-reliant growth in many fields. India is conscious of some
serious lingering economic problems: poverty, population
srowth and inflation, The solution of these problems con-
tinues to be the major goals of ambitious Indian Five Year
Plans,

In India today, there are demands for rearrangement of
center-state relationships, especially from some minority and
regional groups, to safeguard their religious/cultural iden-
tities, There have been isolated cases of disturbance on these
issues and sometimes one can identify lapses on the part of
government and these groups in dealing with these difficult
issues. Fortunately, however, there continues to be a firm

determination on the part of people at large that the
democratic and secular traditions must be maintained and
700 million people (a quarter of the human race) must live in
Peace and harmony enjoying freedoms granted under the
Constitution, India’s overall record in’ maintaining the
democratic and secular traditions has been a notable success
and worthy of commendation by all free and democratic peo-

ple in the world,

Areal nemesis :

To the Editor:

In our opinion, the students and faculty of SUNYA are be-
ing willfully misled, A recent announcement for the upcom-
ing literary journal Nemesis, sponsored by the Feminist
Alliance, is being circulated on the campus. This organiza-
tion has traditionally supported the rights of females and op-
posed any accusations that they are anti-male, We respect
these ideas,

the new publications's name alone casts doubt
on their intentions, The American Heritage Dictionary
defines ‘‘nemesis'’ as one who inflicts relentless vengeance or
destruction; an inflictor of retribution, Retribution incurn, is
defined as something given in repayment; especially punish-
ment,

By this definition it appears that the publication may well
spark a controversy between those stating the Feminist
Alliance is striving 10 build a better integration of the sexes,
and those who believe they are merely attacking men as a
whole, Considering this, one might conclude that this means
of advertisement may be more damaging than beneficial,

“There is now an appreciation by the state
‘government of the need for repairs to the ine
trastructure of these buildings, Not enough
funds are available, however the need for

these allocations is appreciated," Thompson «

continued,

The increasing need for repair and
rehabilitation expenditures stems from the
fact that the majority of the buildings in the
SUNY system were built within a small time
frame, according to Thompson, “All these
buildings were generally built in the 1960's
and 1970's, They will all age in a similar time
frame, Therefore, we see the same problems
arising in many different structures," he
said, .

The money allocation to Albany will be
spent on the replacement of the roofs of the
Earth Science, Fine Arts, Administration,
Business Administration, Performing Arts,
Physical Education and Infirmary bi

“This has been a long term project
Dennis Stevens, director of the university's
physical plant, ‘'This was requested by the
campus after extensive review by university
officials and an outside engineering firm.
These repairs are crucial to the preservation
of the intrastructure,"”

“It is crucial to the university that we are
able to make use of all our facilities. We at
this university have a huge investment in
education, and if we cannot utilize office
space or classrooms because of a roof that
needs repair, then that is a sacrifice that we
cannnot afford to make. It Is very important
that we are able to make use of all our
facilities,"" Stevens elaborated,

Stevens illustrated several examples of
buildings in which extensive water leaks have
caused major problems, including damage to
the Library, the Criminal Justice building,
and many of the downtown dorms, “We
have already made extensive repairs to the
downtown campus and to several ac
buildings on the uptown campus,

Private corporations are a source for out-
side funding as well, according to Vonnegut.
“Companies might wish to have research

The new roofs would serve wo functions,
according to Stevens. ‘<Not only would the
new roofs fufill their primary g

university in terms of energy consevation,
‘The old roofs are now so cracked and water-
filled that they are no longer adequate
enough to retain heat. The new roofs are con-
structed to insulate the buildings much bet-
ter," he said,

‘The money has currently been proposed by
Governor Cuomo as part of his 1984 ex-
ecutive budget. The budget is now under con-
sideration by the State Legislature. Should it
be approved as part of the overall operating
budget, the funds would not become

Positions, he

“The tuition increases will hurt
university access if they are not
stopped,” commented Tierney. Na-
tional studies have shown, he said,
that for every 10 percent increase,
two percent of the iindergraduate
students are forced to leave school.
These students may be replaced by
wealthier ones, but it is the students
in lower economic brackets that will
be hurt, he claimed.

Presently, the overall cost of a
SUNY education is approximately
$5,500 or more including books,
and other expenses. Tierney com-
pared this as being equivalent to
buying a new economy car every
year,

Along with tuition increases,
Tierney pointed out that President
Reagan has cut federal financial aid
21 percent in the past three years,
Tierney said that this means that
there is $$00 million less availavle
for financial aid that three years
ago.

Fryer noted that the governor har
said that in an ideal world he
wouldn't raise tuition, he would do
away with it, However, he pointed
‘out that this isn’t an ideal world,

Fryer said that Cuomo feels faced
with the ‘book of hard choices," In
order to raise the money, one must
increase taxes or take it from other
areas, he added.

Fryer pointed out that the costs
of education in all public institu-
tions is increasing nationwide.
“Viewed in context of the alter-
native, private education, public
education |s still reasonable," said
Fryer, a

By Adam Goodman
STAFF WRITER,

If there were any fears that the
Albany State men’s swim team
would look past St, Michael's on
Saturday in light of today's meet
against archrival RPI, they were
erased, as the Danes easily handled
the small Vermont College, 65-40,

The scare was not even indicative
of the meet as Albany held a 60-20
lead before experimenting with
other swimmers and combinations,
Albany coach Joe Shore was ex-
tremely pleased with the results,
“We had a lot of fun, but we did
swim hard,"

‘Indoor trackmen fourth at Cortland Invitational

By Tom Ke Kacandes

People talk a lot about ‘next.
year’ when » young team shows
promise and sometimes things just
don't turn out the way you think
they would,

Last year the Albany State men's
indoor track team compiled a'7-1
dual meet record, finished thied in
the SUNYACs, seventh at the State
Championships, and lost only three
members to graduation, Things
looked pretty good for 1984,

This past Saturday, the Danes

finished a distant fourth at the Cor-
tland Invitational behind Cortland,
Alfred University, and Ithaca Col-
lege, beating only SUNY Bingham-
ton, despite some superior in-
dividual performances, The finish
can be explained simply: (his year's
Danes are good, but there jus!
aren't enough of them,

One of the things that made the
‘83 Danes so tough was the depth
and quality of the sprint squad.
Runners such as riple-record-
holder Eric Newton, Mike Riggins,
Jeff Jackson, Winston Johnson,

and Darren Pratt are not competing
this year for a variety of reasons,
academic demands among-them,
C'est la-vie in Division IIl. As a
result, the remaining sprinters have
to run in two and three events in
order to represent the team.

Take Pat Saccocio for example.
Saturday, the stocky junior ran in
the trials, semis, and finals of the
5S-meter dash where he placed se-
cond in what he called ‘‘a very com-
petitive field’? in 6.4 seconds. Sac-
cocio then came back to save the
floundering 4x400-meter relay with

The Albany State women’s gym-
nastics team took their 1-0 mark on.
the road to Ithaca Saturday hoping
to keep their record unblemished,
But as it turned out, it was just a lit-
tle too much to ask, as they were ef-
fectively outscored in a fiercely
competitive contest, 167.1 to 152.7.
Although the scoreboard gave the
bottom line, Albany coach Pat
Duval-Spillane said the real story
seemed to be the personal victories
which the Great Danes accomp!
ed,

in the all-around competition,
we placed three competitors over
the thirty-point plateau, which is
extremely good for so early in the
season, and also many of the girls
were able to better their own in-
dividual scores in each event, a fact
that makes all the hard work wor-
thwhile, Also, our team score is
almost up to the average of last year
and that's a great sign in itself,”* she
said.

The scoring in the all-around
category for Albany State included

Brenda Armstrong registering
31.25, third overall, followed close-
ly by tri-captains Virginia
Lockman, 31,05, and Elicia
Steinberg, 30.45.

Armstrong, a sophomore, started
her high-scoring in the uneven
parallel bar competition by scoring
an 8,0, Last year as a freshman, she
broke an Albany State record with
an 8.4, and this year, although it's
early, may be another record-
breaking season. Among the other
leaders in the event were Lockman
and junior tri-captain Anne
Thamasett,

Armstong continued to dominate
‘on the balance beam by placing se-
cond overall with a mark of 8.05.
Seniors El Steinberg and
Lockman followed respectively in
the scoring.

The floor exercise was another
event where the versatile Lockman
and Steinberg combination excell-
ed, Each gymnast scored an 8.45 to
tie for the top spot among the Dane
gymnasts. Lockman, a senior
transfer from Nassau Community

College, was a junior college All-
American two years, the same year
Steinberg achieved All-American
status here at Albany. Karen Bailey,
a promising sophomore, scored an
impressive 8.4 in the competition,
followed by junior Lynn Saravis’
high-spirited routine which
registered an 8.1.

The vaulting competition proved
to display Albany's depth as they
placed five of the top eight scores in
the event,

Although the loss does even up
the Danes’ record at 1-1, coach
Duval-Spillane seemed somewhat
satisfied.

“Many of the girls have made
great progress this year, and with a
tough team like Ithaca all 1 could
hope was that the girls tried their
best, and they didn’t let me down,"*
said the coach.

The Danes’ next meet will be
home Tuesday at 7:30 against Smith
College. Saturday they will host a
tri-meet with Brockport State and
Bryn-Mawr College.

‘an outstanding anchor leg, finishing
third where he got the baton a dis-
tant fourth, His split time of $1.4
seconds was considerably faster
than the winning time in the open
400-meter dash. Four races in one
day Will be Pat Saccocio’s lot all
season long,

Last week at Williams, he won
his heat of the dash, recording the
best time for the finals, then won
the open 400-meter by diving over
the line, The finals of the dash
followed immediately, but Saccocio
could not compete because he was
hyperventitating too much to stand
up. In order to meet their goals, the
Danes are going to have to knock
themselves out every weekend,

The man the crowd will be wa
ching all season is Ed McGill. Com-
ing off an excellent cross-country
season, McGill figures to be a force
in New York State Division III
track this year, Saturday, he led the
$,000-meter run through the first
two miles trailed by Ithaca standout
James Quinn. McGill slowed
abruptly and forced Quinn, who
has a strong kick, to set the pace.
Unfortunately, the move came too
late. Because of the slow pace
earlier, Quinn was still strong
enough to win from the front,
crossing the line in 15:35.7 to
McGill's 15:35.9.

In the day's last open event, the
3,000-meter run, McGill recorded
another superior effort. After a
slow first mile, McGill moved into
first and began to force the pace,
pulling away from another Ithaca
contender, James Goodenough.
McGill was unable, however, to
hold off Russel of Alfred, who had
won the 1,500 earlier and had to set-
tle for second place.

It looks like 1984 will be a banner
year for junior Mare Mercurio, who

is my pick to win both the
SUNYACS ‘and the States in his
event, the 35-Ib, sveight throw. This
time last year, Mercurio was still
earning what (o do with the weight;
now he is chewing up his competi-
tion as he perfects his technique. At
Cortland, Mercurio beat his nearest
competitor by more than four feet
with his toss of 49°3.5" and set a
new meet record in the process, It
will be interesting to see if anyone
will even get close to him all season.

Sophomore Bruce Van Tassel is
another continuing success story.
Showing a sort of poise one rarely
sees in freshmen, Van Tassel won
nearly all his races last year and
finished fourth at States. This year
he’s been able to win while slowly
returning to top form, In a very
tough final heat Saturday, Van
Tassel beat out Mormile of Ithaca
at the tape, though both were clock-
ed at 8.0 seconds.

Key to the Danes? success this
year will be the development of the
younger runners and those that had
been overshadowed by since
departed talent. Senior Andy
Callari is one of the Danes trying to
fill some big shoes through hard
work and determination. Callari
was able to take fourth place among
‘a field of talented sprinters in the
400-meter dash with his time of
153.6 seconds,

Junior Jim Erwin was the last
runner to finish at Saturday's meet.
As anchor of Albany's hurting
4x800-meter relay, Erwin got the
baton more than a lap behind the
other teams. He went out very hard
in order to get Albany “unlapped””
and finished tough to record a very
solid split time of 2:04.4,

Team Results: Cortland, 77.5;
Alfred, 72; Ithaca, 62.5; Albany,
36; Binghamton, 22.

The game was a bit too physical for Assis-

Then, Junior All-American Dave Averill

Following 134 pound Greg Stackel’s forfeit
victory, the Danes suffered their first loss of
the day when little-used Howard Fritz wasted
a $-2 lead when he ran out of gas midway

managed to hold on to the lead by using
almost all of his allotted two minute injury

Back-to-back defeats by Jerry Clark and

A cause can be made of why the meet was
so close going into the 190 pound match, Ac-

Americans, All six of the injuries came dur-
ing a four day span before and after the New

Albany State jumped out to a 11-0 lead
aided by a Sheldon forfeit win and an Averill

favor of Feltman,

This pulled the Danes within 23-20 with

TED MARUSSICH UPS
ainst RPIiast Wednesday, scored
loss to Potsdam on the road.

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Potsdam

Sometimes the final score of a
basketball game can pretty much
tell the tale of how the game went,
There are other times when the
score is anything but indicative of
what happened in the previous 40
minutes, The latter was the ‘case
Saturday night at Maxcy Hall in
Potsdam as the Potsdam Bears
defeated the Albany State Great
Danes, 81-68 in a game that was
close most of the way.

By reading deeper into Saturday
night's box score the real story can
be seen,

The most noticeable thing lacking
for Albany was 6'8" center Pete
Gosule, who injured his knee in
Wednesday's RPI game. Gosule’s
injury hurt Albany’s bench depth as
Potsdam's substitutes outscored
their Albany counterparts, 27-6.
The absence of their tallest player
also hurt the Danes’ rebounding
game as the Bears beat them 38-21
in the war of the backboards.

‘Another fact that shows Albany's
lack of inside play is that $°7"" point
guard Dan Croutier led the team in
rebounding with 4,

The Danes rallied behind
Croutier to take their second and
last lead of the game. A John
Mracek hoop off of a Croutier pass
made the score $7-55 Albany with
6:14 remaining in the game.

Croutier was doing everything a
point guard is supposed 10 do--he
was creating opportunities by

penetrating, dishing off, hitting
‘open shots, and most importantly
playing a smart brand of basketball
while making a minimal amount of
mistakes.

Potsdam, in an effort to regain
their early composure, called
imeout 13 seconds later.

Whatever Bear Head Coach Jerry
Welsh said during that break cer-
tainly did the trick as the Bears
‘outscored the Danes, 26-11 in the
final 6:01.

“We started to run our offense
well in the last few minutes,”” said
Welsh. ‘We stayed away from tur-
novers while at the same time forc-
ed Albany into some."

The Potsdam defense forced
Albany into a turnover after
Potsdam's Leroy Witherspoon tied
the game with 5:37 left. Following a
Dane turnover Bear forward Scott
Culler hit a shot and the Bears took
the lead for good at $9-57 with 4:39
to go.

Due to tremendous pressure on
their next possession Albany was
unable to inbound the ball and was
forced to call timeout. Their next
attempt to get the ball in play dur-
ing the alloted five seconds was un-
successful.

Potsdam took over with a one-
point lead and the clock reading

:07. .Croutier fouled Culler 14
seconds later. Culler hit both foul
shols, which stfetched the Bears’
lead to three, 62-59.

From there on in it was all
Potsdam. The Bears did nothing

wrong for the last 3:53; they hit key
foul shots and shut down the
Danes! offense, A couple of mean-
ingless baskets by Roosevelt,
Bullock and Whitney accounted for
the big final spread,

Albany stayed close early by
shutting down Potsdam’s running
game, The Danes got the lead
brfiefly when freshman Adam
Ursprung hit a short shot off of a
pass from Wilson Thomas. That
advantage was short lived as con-
secutive baskets by Pat Crawford
and Leroy Witherspoon gave
Potsdam the lead until late in the se-
cond half.

As Albany State Head Coach
Dick Sauers said,'We were playing
‘our game and then we stopped get-
ting the loose balls when they were
there.”

HOOP-LA: Both teams shot ex-
tremely well from the field at 52
percent, especially Albany in the se-
cond half 62 percent...Albany's
record is now 10-7 (3-1 in the
SUNYAC Conference)...Potsdam

Women cagers drop Invitational to St. Michael’s

Poor foul shooting hurts team in loss;
Albany’s record 11-5 for season

By Mark Wilgard
STAFF WAITER
When one associates the sport of
basketball with the art of free-
throw shooting, the word
“automatic’” comes to mind. It’s
supposed to be two gift points for
your team courtesy of the opposi-
tion, Try telling that to the Albany
State women’s basketball team,

‘The Danes shot only 38 percent
(10-26) from thg free-throw stripe in
the Championship Game of the in-
‘augural Albany Invitational against
St. Michael's, The misses cost them
dearly as they bowed 72-56,

“If you had to pick a weakness,
that was it,"" commented Albany
Head Coach Mari Warner,

‘Overall, we played a nice game,
the difference being the free
throws.”

With 3:05 left, the Danes trailed
64-56, A traveling violation on St,
Michael's gave them a chance to
pull within six. Peg Squazzo was
fouled, but she missed the front end
of a one-and-one, That was
Albany's last chance, as St,
Michacl’s put them away in the
closing minutes, They scored the
‘game's final eight points en route to
the win,

Ronnie Patterson was the big gun

for the Danes, as she popped in 22
points, It was Patterson's precise
shooting that helped Albany to a
30-28 halftime lead,

Patterson leads Scorers”

After Patterson hit a 25-footer to
open up the second half, St,
Michael's reeled off nine
unanswered points to take a lead
they would never relinquish.
Albany's Rainny Lesane, who had
10 points in the game, cut the lead
to 58-0 with 7:25 to play, and it
looked like the Danes were on their
way back. But St. Michael’s would
ot miss from the floor the rest of
the way as they rolled to the victory.

All in all, Warner was pleased
"You ‘hate to settle for less, but
they were quicker and stronger than
us," assessed Warner. “On the
positive side, we were physical out
there plus we moved the ball around
very well."

To reach the title game, Albany
had to do away with William Smith
on Saturday, In a very physical
game, the Danes rolled to a 62-39
triumph,

The tough Great Dane defense
held William Smith scoreless for the
first five minutes of the game and
built up a 29-12 halftime lead, Kim

Kosalek had 12° points, while
Lesane and Diane Fernandes added
eight each in leading Albany to the
rout,

This week, Albany has a pair of
conference games. Tomorrow, they
travel to Binghamton and on Satur-
day it’s off to Plattsburgh for a big
meeting with the Cardinals. A win
over Plattsburgh will help the
Danes’ chances of hosting the

re Leary unveils proposal for $25M civic center

uller Road complex would include a University fieldhouse

By Robert Gardinier ft
UTAPr WAITER

| if SUNYA President Vincent
O'Leary can sway state, Albany
‘County and city officials to his side,
 S25M civic center complex would
be built on a now vacant, 77 acre lot
‘across from the uptown campus on
land owned by the university.

Formally presented before the
Albany County Legislature Thurs-
day by O'Leary, the plan provides
for a 11,700 seat arena for concerts,
Sporting events and conventions
‘and a 60,000 square foot SUNYA
field house, all under one roof.

The field house, included in the
architectural design by Daniel F.
Tully Associates of Melrose,
Massachusetts, would be owned

run by SUNYA under the pro-

visions of the plan,

When the uptown campus was|
still on paper, it included a large
field house for SUNYA indoor

Sports, but because of budget restrictions at that time the
athletic field house was never buil

According to the plan, the field house would cost the state
$6 million with requests that the state would also pay an ad-
ditional $4 milllion toward construction of the arena ‘to in-
sure'that the University could have a limited access to the
arena," said O'Leary.

“We are not trying to sell you a facility here, only a con-
cept,” asserted O'Leary to the county legislature attending
the meeting, “It is up to the county now to decide what they
want to do,”” he added.

‘According to the university plan, the campus, county and
city of Albany would jointly request capital funds for the
construction of the center. A 35 year loan would be sought
from the state Urban Development Corporation to construct
the center. The debt service or_loan payment on the bonds
per year is predicted to be $1,145,000 with the assumed 8.5
percent interest.

A public corporation would be established, according to
the plan, to lease the civic center from the university, build
the facility and then contract with both the county to operate
the arena, and the university to operate the field house.
Monies to operate the facility and meet the debt service are
anticipated to come from profits earned by the center, and
from contributions from the city, the state, and the universi-
ty. Much of the responsibility will fall on the county of
Albany, according to the plan,

As part of a research agreement with the University, the
Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) has given’ the
University a $600,000 price break on its computer equip-
ment parchases, and plans to create a user room on State
Quad, according to acting Vice-President John
Shumaker,

The equipment, purchased from DEC, includes a DEC
System-20 mainframe and 96 full screen editor terminals,
‘Shumaker said.

“The system is designed to
be user friendly, it’s easy to

use for a naive user.’’

The DEC-20 was purchased with funds raised last

Affairs, Lewis Welch. “The facilities we have on campus
Row are not adequate for a university this size and in this
climate,"” he said,

Fourth of several proposals
This latest proposal by SUNYA for a Capital District civi

center is the fourth to surface in recent months and adds even
more contestants to the groups already vying to have a civic
center built in their own interests,

Private developer Joseph Futia, who operates the Colonie

telligence,"* and Digital will have exclusive rights to the
Fescarch until June, 1985, said Associate Vice-President
for Computing Services Barbara Wolfe,

The research will be done by computer scientists
Miriam Balaban and Neil Murray, System Administrator
for the DEC-20 Isabel Nirenberg called their work ‘very
exciting” and said "the language they'll be using is really
frontier language.”

Artificial intelligence, Wolfe said, is programming
computers (0 try and get them to behave as if they had in-
telligence. But, she added, there are many different
definitions of intelligence.

As examples, Wolfe cited computer chess games that
played on the World Champion level, and robots that
work on manufacturing assembly lines, “but that’s a
Primitive definition of artificial intelligence."*

Currently, artificial intelligence is the focus of a $45
million national program in Japan, Many American com-
Puter scientists are calling for greater research efforts in
this country to offset the Japanese program,

Murray said that he and Balaban had co-authored the
original proposal for the system, but said that the research
topic is in Balaban’s field,

Murray explained, “1 work in a subfield which is
sometimes contained...within arti
research,”” He said he is in a field called ‘computational
logic,"* and he described it as "the study of logic with the
idea toward developing logical techniques that can be, gp

Coliseum, offered to personally fund an $11 n civic
center complex to be built on his land adjacent to the Colonie
Coliseum in Latham. Under Futia’s plan, he would then sell
the center back to Albany County and the county would
allow him to operate it,

Upset with the county for ‘dragging their feet"” on his pro-
posal, Futia recently approached Rensselaer County Ex-

phy with a proposal (o build Futi

downtown Albany. Murphy has come out
Futia’s plans but the Rensselear County Legislatu

to decide for or against the proposal, The Rensselear site
discussed is located along Interstate 90 in East Greenbush,

Futia would not comment on the SUNYA proposal.

Underlying all these plans is one to build the center on va-
cant land adjacent to the Empire State Plaza, This plan
favored by Albany County Executive James Coyne, "I st
prefer the downtown site," Coyne said after Thursday
presentation by the university, "We are now involved with
discussions with the governor on whether South Mall bonds
are available for construction,"" he said

If South Mall bonds for the plaza location are available
according to Coyne, the state could pay between 50 and 10)
percent on the construction of the civie center there, He add
ed that this plan would relieve the tax burden on county lax:
payer:

When asked what the Albany County legislature's feelings
were following the SUNYA presentation, Coyne only said
that "The legislators and the commission will keep an open
mind on t

Coyne added that there are three more proposals of sites in
the works and ‘We are shooting for a final decision by the
end of March,”

Whalen favors SUNYA

The only prominent local official to come out in favor of
the SUNYA proposal has been Albany Mayor Thomas
Whalen III, "The most preferable site is at the campus,"”
said Whalen yesterday morning before the presentation to
the legislature, "It (the SUNYA plan) is thorough and well
done and by far much more attractive than anything to
date,"" he added.

‘According to O'Leary's report, Whalen has agreed to pro-
vide $200,000 per year to the center from the city budget to
