Wharton to leave SUNY chancellor post Feb. 1

Albany
(AP) SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton
will leave his job as head of the nation’s
largest university system Feb. 1 to become
head of a $50 billion pension fund.

Wharton, one of the nation’s most pro-
minent blacks, resigned Wednesday to
become chairman and chief executive of-
ficer of TIAA-CREF, the largest private
pension fund in the United States.

The fund, based in New York City,
serves 3,700 colleges, universities, indepen-
dent schools, and related non-profit
educational associations. In addition to
the 850,000 participants now contributing
to the fund, there are another 150,000 peo-
ple receiving pension benefits from the
fund.

Wharton, 60, is among the highest paid
officials in state government, drawing an
annual salary of $89,250 to head SUNY’s
64 campuses. The university system has
366,000 students and a $2.3 billion annual
budget.

TIAA-CREF spokeswoman Claire
Sheahan said the pension fund would not
disclose the salary it will pay Wharton.

The SUNY board of trustees will con-
duct a nationwide search for a successor
for Wharton, said the university
spokesman Hugh Tuchey.

Wharton said that ‘‘the decision to leave
SUNY after nine years was most difficult,
but I was intrigued by the challenge of a
new opportunity to be of service to the
higher education community.’’

Gov. Mario Cuomo said that “Clif
Wharton’s contributions to the state of
New York have been outstanding and he
will be sorely missed.”

The governor praised Wharton’s “‘vi-
sion and effective leadership’? and said
that Wharton’s ‘‘role as one of the na-
tion’s foremost spokesmen in higher
education has been of great importance to
our state, as well as to colleges and univer-
sities across the land.””

Everette Joseph, president of the Stu-
dent Association of the State University of
New York, said that Wharton ‘brought
the university from being a moderately
recognized university to a university that
now has national recognition. He’s had
some resistance to student input, but
overall he was a positive force.’’

Wharton successfully lobbied for a
change in state law to give SUNY more
autonomy. In addition. he helped put

together a new plan to expand research
and graduate studies at SUNY.

Wharton served as chancellor longer
than any of his six predecessors at SUNY,
which was created in 1948.

An economist, Wharton is a specialist in
economic development, higher education
and U.S. foreign policy.

Wharton will succeed James G. Mac-
Donald as chairman and chief executive
officer of TIAA-CREF, the fund

‘Jews for Jesus’ lecturer draws fire

By Jennifer McCormick

A lecture entitled “Why Some Jews
believe in Jesus’’ drew about 150 students
and community members to LC 21 Thurs-
day. However, many members of the
mostly Jewish audience came not to par-
ticipate, but to protest.

Baruch Goldstein, a member of the
group Jews for Jesus, spoke for approx-

imately 20 minutes about how he was rais-
ed as a Jew and “‘became a believer in
Jesus’’ after returning from serving in the
Vietnam War.

Jews for Jesus is a national organization
of Jews who accept Jesus Christ as their
saviour and as the promised Messiah of the
Old Testament.

Founded in 1970 by Moishe Rosen, Jews
for Jesus has drawn criticism from a
number of religious groups.

During his lecture, Goldstein said, “As
a Jew, I became a believer in Jesus for one
reason and one reason only — I found it to
be true.’ He also said that ‘‘if Jesus was
not the Jewish Messiah, he could not be
the Saviour to the Gentiles.”

“The most important thing in my life is
that I love to tell Jews about Jesus,’’ he
said.

Lee Hyngsuck, president of Campus
Crusade for Christ, said his group spon-
sored the event because ‘“‘As Christians,
one purpose of our organization is to
spread the news that Jesus is the Messiah
for both Christians and Jews.””

During Goldstein’s speech, several au-
dience members held up posters displaying
phrases such as ‘‘Hear O Israel, the L-rd
our G-d the L-rd is One”’ and “Torah is
the real thing. Don’t fall for a cheap
imitation.”

Goldstein called the posters a ‘‘very
tude’”’ gesture, which prompted six or
seven more to be raised and held up for the
rest of the lecture.

Many protesters asserted that one can-
not, by definition, be a Jew and at the
same time recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

To demonstrate their opposition, many
protesters refused to enter the lecture
center until Goldstein finished speaking,
but came in later to participate in informal
discussion.

Goldstein left the lecture center im-
mediately after the lecture, having re-
quested there be no question-and-answer
period. This action also drew criticism
from protesters.

MacDonald said that ‘‘Clifton Wharton
represents the kind of leadership that will
assure TIAA-CREF’s continued strong
performance in carrying out our commit-
ment to higher education.’’

Wharton served as president of
Michigan State University in East Lansing,
Michigan for eight years before becoming
head of SUNY in January 1978.

The outgoing chancellor has been chair-
man of the Rockefeller Foundation since
1982 and serves on the corporate boards of
Ford Motor Co.,Time Inc., and Federated
Reserve Bank of New York.

TIAA-CREF is a combination of the
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Associa-
tion (TIAA) and the College Retirement
Equities Fund (CREF).

The fund said it appointed a search com-
mittee in February 1986 and has been
meeting candidates since then.

Wharton said that “‘the opportunity to
head the largest and most successful
private pension fund in the U.S. was an of-
fer too attractive to resist.’’

“Never before has the insurance and

. pension environment faced such rapid and

dynamic changes,-and I look forward to
these challenges,’’ Wharton said.

Before going to Michigan State, Whar-
ton held top posts in the Agricultural
Development Council, a private nonprofit
international organization headed by John
D. Rockefeller II. After joining the group
in 1957 he moved to Malaysia, where he
dealt with development programs there
and in Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and
Cambodia.

Earlier in his career Wharton spent five
years in Latin America working for the
American International Association for
Economic and Social Development and
was a research associate in economics at

to be expanded

(AP) The State University of New York
has prepared a plan to expand research
and graduate studies, especially at its
university centers in Buffalo, Albany,
Stony Brook and Binghamton, according
to a report.

The expansion analysis, to be an-
nounced next week, also sets a goal of
making SUNY at Buffalo a Top 10
research university within 10 years, The
Buffalo News reported Wednesday.

While the overall emphasis will be on
the four SUNY centers, other four-year
colleges in the SUNY system and their
faculties also will be involved, according
to the newspaper.

On a statewide basis, the plan pro-
motes the following goals:

» Doubling the number of doctorate pro-
grams that rank in the top 10 percent of
the nation and doubling the number of
others rated in the top third.
Doubling the “‘real dollar’? volume of
research sponsored by sources outside the

government.

PLO tied to attack

Jerusalem
(AP) The PLO Thursday claimed respon-
sibility for the grenade attack near the
Wailing Wall that killed at least one person
and wounded 69 others, and indicated
more acts of ‘“‘armed struggle’? “may
follow.

Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation
Organization claimed responsibility for the
Wednesday attack in a statement
distributed by the Cairo, Egypt office of
the organization’s WAFA news agency.

The statement called
“*heroic operation,’’ and said it ‘‘serves to
underline a decision by the Palestinian
leadership at a recent meeting to escalate
the armed struggle...” It did not say when
or where the decision was made.

The grenades went off near the Dung
Gate, one of the eight entrances into the
predominantly-Palestinian walled Old City
that Israel captured from Jordan in the
1967 Middle East war.

Soyinka wins Nobel

Stockholm, Sweden
(AP) Wole Soyinka, a prolific novelist,
playwright, poet and passionate social
critic who was jailed in his native Nigeria
during the Biafra war, Thursday became
the first African winner of the Nobel Prize
for literature.

The Swedish Academy of Letters cited
Soyinka, 52, as a writer ‘“‘who in a wide
cultural perspective and with poetic over-
tones fashions the drama of existence.”’

Soyinka, who writes in English, has
published about 20 works, including more
than a dozen plays and two novels. Many
of his works deal with life in Nigeria and
are satirical.

Soyinka has been an outspoken critic of
his country’s government. He was arrested
in 1967 on charges of conspiring with anti-
government rebels fighting to establish an
independent state called Biafra. He said he
was tortured and held in solitary confine-
ment during his 22-month imprisonment.

Fed spending granted

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The U.S. House of Representatives
late Wednesday approved a compromise
$576 billion spending measure to keep
federal agencies running through fiscal
1987, a package that included everything
from a dozen MX missiles to a 3 percent
pay hike for federal workers, including
members of Congress.

“It is big, it is ugly, it is irresponsible
and it is probably over budget,” complain-
ed Rep. John E. Porter, R-Ill., as the
lawmakers endorsed the largest spending
bill ever on a 235-172 vote.

The package, the product of a week of
negotiations between the two chambers,
was sent to the Senate for further action.
Several items remained in disagreement,
including a construction industry labor
protection provision and a $250,000-per-
farmer cap on agriculture subsidies.

As the measure was passed by the
House, the government technically ran out
of spending authority. A short-term
stopgap spending bill, the third such
measure since the new fiscal year began
Oct. 1, expired at midnight, Wednesday.

Gadhafi speaks out

New York

(AP) Libya supports Struggles for libera-

terrorism are part of a disinformation
campaign, Col. Moammar Gadhafi said in
an interview broadcast Thursday.

: “Tf supporting the struggle of people for
liberation is terrorism, then we’re
responisble for such acts,’ the Libyan
leader said on ABC’s “Good Morning
America.”

In the interview conducted in an apart-
ment building in the Libyan Port of Sirte,
Gadhafi said many Americans believe he is
a terrorist without any evidence.

“This in itself is a disinformation of the
American people. The Americans have
been under a severe campaign of falsifica-
tion and disinformation, and have been
convinced that I am a terrorist,” Gadhafi
said. “I challenge Reagan and his govern-
ment to produce any evidence that my

country has ever committed a terrorist
action.”

Ceremony planned

A ribbon-cutting ceremony to ‘“‘of-
ficially open the bubble’’ will be held
during. halftime at this Saturday’s
homecoming football game, according
to Vincent Reda, acting account ex-
ecutive in University Relations.

The ceremony, originally scheduled
for October 10 at 11:00 a.m., was
postponed because two of the local
legislators could not attend.

“Jt’s a ceremony we want to hold to
recognize the local legislators who
helped getting it through (the
legislature) and to reaffirm the commit-
ment to enhancement of athletic
facilities,” Reda said.

The ceremony, although held one
month after the actual opening of the
facility, is “‘the first time we could get
local legislators together,’’ Reda said
adding, ‘Homecoming is a good time to
do it.”

Awards for the outstanding male and
female athletes for 85-86 will also be
presented.

Green Party cancels

The public lecture and discussion with
West German Parliament members Petra|
Kelly and Gert Bastian which was
scheduled for October 11 in Page Hall
was cancelled because Kelly became ill.

According to Carl F. Lankowski,
Political Science Professor at SUNYA,
Kelly and Bastian are representatives of
the Green Party, a new Political party in
West Germany. Kelly is co-founder of
the party which was organized in 1980.

According to Lankowski, Kelly and
Bastian were expected to render a
general account of what the Green’s
overall political ideals are, emphasizing
feminism and ecology,’’ said
Lankowski.

It is unknown whether the lecture will
be rescheduled.

Lams pig out on dogs

SUNYA’s Pi Lam fraternity out did
the competition from Sienna College
and Union college to become the top
dog of Price Chopper’s charity hot dog
eating contest.

According to Pi Lam member Phil
Botwinik, Brian Florio and Dan Alex-
ander ate twelve hot dogs each. Marc
““Cheech’’ Russel ate seventeen, which
is four hot dogs short of the guiness
world record.

“The contestants had three minutes
and ten seconds to eat as many hot dogs
as possible,” said Steve Noel, Pi Lam
president, adding that, “It got really
gross. They were eating them five at a
time, and after five they had a hard time
swallowing,’’ said Noel.

According to Noel, each Pi Lam con-
testant recieved $100, and the fraternity
recieved $250 to donate to the charity of
their choice.

The money will be contributed to the
American Cancer Society.

Repaving drives on

According to Dennis Stevens, Assis-
tant Vice President for the Physical
Plant, everything is going well on the
repaving of several roads on the uptown
and downtown campuses.

‘Some people feel that it (the repav-
ing) is an inconvienence. It is always in-
convenient when roads are being repav-
ed, but I’m in a bad position. The roads
must be paved now so there aré no pro-
blems with potholes this spring or with
plowing snow this winter,’’ said
Stevens.

According to Stevens, the repaving on
both campuses should be finished within
the next three weeks.

Candidates debate student issues

By Joshua Drucker

Albany’s grouper law, state divestment,
and the student voting rights bill were
among the dominant issues directed at area
politicians by students at Wednesday’s
Candidates Forum.

About 85 SUNYA students and com-
munity residents came to the Campus
Center Assembly Hall for the question-
and-answer session with the politicians
who are seeking office in the Nov. 7
election.

The event was sponsored by Central
Council’s Student Action Committee
(SAC) and the Student Association of the
State University (SASU).

Candidates in attendance were six-term
Democratic State Senator Howard Nolan

Nolan’s Republican challenger Peter
Crummy; Democrat Dick Connors, a five-
year incumbent state senator from the
104th District; and Ed Bloch, a
Democratic candidate for the U.S. House
of Representatives.

Student questioners continually directed
attention to Albany’s grouper law. The
grouper law, currently being tested in state
courts, prohibits more than three
unrelated individuals from living at the
same residence,

Connors referred to Article 9, section 22
of the state constitution. ‘‘Does the section
allow it?” he asked. ‘‘Whether or not is a
matter for the state legislature. The
grouper law can only be changed by chang-
ing the constitution,’’ he said.

Student Association’s proposed. Dorm

House candidate Ed Bloch (left) and state Sen. Dick Connors.

Tenants Association, which will attempt to
unify on-campus students in dealing with
the University about dorm-related issues,
was labeled “‘encroaching’’ on article 9,
section 22 by Connors.

State divestment from South Africa pro-
ved to be the most debated issue.

Nolan suggested the immediate
statewide divestment of all funds to help
bring about social change in South Africa,
while Crummy argued that such a move
would place too much stress on the state
pension system. ‘To take it out in one day
would cripple the pension fund,” argued
Crummy.

SAC chair Phil Botwinik said one of the
most important issues brought up during
the forum was the tuition freeze issue.
Both Connors and Nolan acknowledged
the importance and benefits of public
higher education, yet they stressed the
need to balance it with other social pro-
grams, such as senior citizen and medical
programs.

According to Connors, tuitions have not
been increased in three years, while health
care costs for seniors continue to rise. Both
Nolan and Connors promised to study the
proposal if the tuition freeze issue is
brought up in either the state legislature or
assembly.

Freshman Mare Evan Albert, who said
he is disgusted with the on-campus housing
situation, brought up the issue of dorm
overcrowding. Albert, citing the minimum
living area allowed for federal penitentiary
inmates, claims his quarters on Colonial
Quad are comparatively lower. Albert
argued that the area he is living in, divided
by his two roommates, falls below the

First alcohol committee session held

By David Spalding
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The University Alcohol Committee held
its first meeting last Tuesday to establish a
working agenda for future meetings and
finalize committee membership.

The committee, designed to review the
University’s alcohol policy and any
alcohol-related problems on campus, is
comprised of six administrators and five
students and is chaired by James
Doellefeld, director of campus life.

Dr. Frank Pogve, vice president of stu-
dent affairs, created the committee last
February based on the recommendations
of last fall’s ‘Implementation of 21’ com-
mittee. Pogue is temporarily filling a posi-
tion at SUNY Central until next May, and
former Assistant Vice President for Stu-
dent Affairs Henry Kirchner is now acting
vice president for student affairs.

The student committee members are
Steve Broomer, Martin Glovin, Liz
Praetorius, former SA Programming
Director Betty Ginzburg and Student Ac-
tion Committee Chair Phil Botwinik.

Professional staff members are Assis-
tant Director of Student Activities
Margaret Aldrich, Assistant Director of
Residential Life John Murphy, Athletics
Director William Moore, University Aux-
iliary Services General Manager E.
Norbert Zahm, Audrey Thompson from
Student Health Services and Doellefeld.

According to Doellefeld, the committee
‘developed a list of agenda items’’ at the
first meeting and also voted to exclude the
press from the meeting.

The top item on the agenda, according
to Doellefeld, will be to analyze a 1985
survey on SUNYA student drinking pat-
terns conducted by a professor from the
department of Geography and Regional
Planning.

“J look at this as an important step,””
said Doellefeld, adding that the rest of the
agenda will be decided after the survey is
presented. The survey will provide the
committee with helpful data, said
Doellefeld, adding, ‘‘Then the committee
is not just guessing about what students
are doing.”

Although Doellefeld declined to name
the professor, according to Botwinik, Pro-
fessor Christopher Smith conducted the
survey last year.

Smith said he conducted the survey in
the spring of 1985 to ‘“‘provide baseline in-
formation on how students drank’’ before
the alcohol purchasing age was raised to
21.

The survey examined ‘‘quantity, fre-
quency and beverage selection,’’ as well as
alcohol-related problems, “‘if any’’, for
on-campus students, said Smith.

Committee goals ‘‘are
not aligned with the
reality that exists for
students... .”’
— Phil Botwinik

The survey was funded by SUNY small
grants and the Office of Student Affairs
assisted with paperwork, according to
Smith, who added he will present the
survey at the next Alcohol committee
meeting.

According to Botwinik, the committee is
interested in input from the campus
community.

Zahm said he doesn’t foresee any ‘‘ma-
jor decisions” soon, adding ‘‘we need to
study the problems first of all.””

“I'd like to see the committee for one
time take Professor Christopher Smith’s
studies and analyze their content,” said
Botwinik.

The committee’s goals may not be
realistic, Botwinik said. “It’s my assump-
tion that the goals and merits of the com-
mittee may be good,”’ said Botwinik, ‘‘but
they are not aligned with the reality that
exists for students on campus.”

Student Association President Paco
Duarte said he is upset that Pogue
overlooked SA during the selection process
for the committee members.

According to Duarte, Pogue sent out in-

vitations to students to sit on the commit-
tee in February after conferring with SA.
However, when several invitees declined or
failed to respond to the invitations, Pogue
selected members on his own initiative,
said Duarte.

“Basically there has been an understan-
ding with Dr. Pogue and the Student
Association that whenever there has been a
need for student representation in commit-
tees they have informed us,”’ said Duarte,
“and we worked to nominate students for
the committee.”

According to Duarte, he had to contact
Doellefeld the day before the meeting to
find out who the student representatives
were. ‘‘We find it a problem that we were
not informed of the representatives,”” he
said, adding ‘‘we are the student advocacy
group on campus.’’

Duarte said he ‘‘wouldn’t be able to
say”’ if SA was purposely not informed by
the administration but said, ‘‘I would
definitely question why SA was not in-
formed sooner.””

dies after illness

Funeral services were held Sunday for
SUNYA student Ilene Fleischer, who
died Oct. 11 as a result of illness.

Fleischer, 21, was a business major liv-
ing in Ryckman Hall on Dutch Quad un-
til she left school on a medical
withdrawal this spring.

Services were held at the Marlboro
Jewish Center in Marlboro, N.J.,
Fleischer’s hometown.

The Marlboro Jewish Center has
started a memorial fund in Fleischer’s
name.

Fleischer is survived by her mother,
father and a sister.

“She was the magnetic person who
imade everyone around her love her,”’
said a group of Fleischer’s close friends.
‘Anyone who knew her can understand
that words could never do her justice.
Everyone should be so fortunate as to
Ihave known a person like Ilene.”

One of the main arguments that
the campus Jewish community
has against Jews for Jesus is that
it “operates as a cult and uses
deceptive methods of advertising
so that you think it’s something
Jewish,” according to Rabbi
Moishe Chanowitz, director of
the Chabud Center in downtown
Albany.

Chanowitz said that “They try
to get students when they are
susceptible, like around midterms
or when they break up.”

However, SUNYA student Lisa
Kroner, who attended the lecture,
said, ‘‘There is a quite common
misconception about it [Jews for
Jesus]...it’s not a religion in itself,
it’s an organization, a group that
reaches out to Jews of the world,
It’s a group of people from
Jewish backgrounds who ac-
cepted Christ.’

‘*A person who becomes Chris-
tian and happens to be from a
Jewish background doesn’t have
to give up their Judaism,” Kroner
added.

Jews for Jesus was also criticiz-
ed for its use of the Bible. ‘‘They
reinterpret the Hebrew scriptures
for their own purposes,” said
Needleman.

“They quote the Bible out of
context,”’ added Chanowitz.

However, Kroner said, ‘‘They
[opponents of Jews for Jesus] say
the Christian Old Testament has
been mistranslated. That seems
very unrealistic. I don’t think that
for the past 2000 years Christians
have been studying a mistransla-
tion. Something like that
would’ve been uncovered.”

Gullahorn settling into new V.P.
position with optimistic outlook

By Colleen Deslaurier
‘STAFF WRITER

Excitement about the upcoming year and
“prospects of the future’’ characterizes the op-
timistic attitude of Jeanne Gullahorn, SUNY’s new
vice-president of research and graduate studies.

The new administrator has ambitious plans for
her department and she said one of her main goals
is to ‘‘enhance those areas in
which the university has gained
national prominence, as well as
bring up those that aren’t up
there yet.””

Gullahorn comes to her posi-
tion with an administrative background in
academics. For twenty years she was a faculty
member of Michigan State University, starting as
an assistant professor and then ‘‘moving through
the ranks.’? Gullahorn also served as Michigan
State’s associate dean of graduate studies and in the
office of research.

Although she comes from a ‘‘very poor, large
family of French Canadian immigrants,”’
Gullahorn did her undergraduate work at Harvard-
Radcliffe with the help of scholarship support.

Gullahorn went on to receive her masters degree
in psychology from the University of Kansas and
her doctorate from Michigan State. She also receiv-
ed a fellowship to study for a year at the University
of Paris.

Jeanne Gullahorn

“It’s one of life’s growth experiences,’’ said
Gullahorn, describing her year in Paris. The fluent
French speaker added, ‘‘Traveling itself is
broadening.”

Originally from Massachusetts, Gullahorn said
that coming to New York was ‘‘a homecoming in
some ways.’’

According to Gullahorn, the move to SUNYA
came at a “fortunate time’’ because her husband, a
sociology professor, had recently retired and “‘had
more freedom to move.” Gullahorn’s only
daughter began college at Northwestern University
this year.

“It was a nice opportunity to accept a new
challenge,’’ said Gullahorn about her new position,
adding that although it ‘‘takes some time to get
‘streetwise’,’”’ she hasn’t had a hard time getting
adjusted.

“Research and graduate administration go hand-
in-hand,”’ Gullahorn said, adding that the staff has
also been ‘‘very, very helpful.”

Gullahorn said she plans to help various depart-
ments recruit graduate students, especially those
students who are under-represented. Gullahorn said
that she would like to encourage minority students
to enter graduate studies and involve more women
in scientific fields.

Gullahorn also expressed a concern about finan-
cial support for graduate studies as well as for in-
creasing program quality. ‘‘I’d like to put pressure
on Congress to restore some of the fellowship pro-
grams that have gone away.”

Gullahorn said that she feels SUNYA is a “‘good
quality institution. It has what it takes to break into
the ranks of the top research institutions.”

One interesting career experience Gullahorn
shared was when she participated in an inter-
government exchange program while on a two-year
leave from Michigan State. Gullahorn served as a
health scientist administrator at the National In-
stitute of Mental Health (NIMH).

According to Gullahorn, she was able to see
“*first-rate researchers doing research that would
not be in journals for years. It solidified my interest
in research administration.”

In describing her ‘‘after-school’’? hobbies,
Gullahorn said she ‘‘enjoys concerts, plays and
reading.”

Gullahorn and her husband also have a cottage
on Lake Michigan, where they enjoy spending sum-
mers sailing and bird watching. oO

STAFF WRITER

Increased funding for
SUNYA’s graduate programs is
expected to be announced Tues-
day by the SUNY Board of
Trustees as it releases final
budget figures for SUNYA and
other state universities and
colleges.

The announcement would
come almost two years after a
report issued by the Indepen-
dent Commission on the Future
of the State University which
stated that SUNY needs more
flexibility of resources and
enhancement of its graduate
education and research
programs.

“SUNY’s chief academic
weaknesses are in research, and
graduate and professional
education,’ the report stated,
“areas that increasingly hold the
key to career success for SUNY
students and that are vital to
New York’s futrue economic
development.””

Although SUNY and SUNYA
Officials are reluctant to discuss
the graduate research proposal,
SUNYA President Vincent
O’Leary said he agrees with the
committee’s conclusions.

“Progress in graduate educa-
tion and research is behind,’’ he

said. ‘‘We’re not at the same
level as other [state-run]
systems.”

“A measure of how well a
university is doing is by its out-
side research grants,’’ said
O’Leary. SUNYA currently
receives about $30 million in
research grants.

More outside research grant
monies can be received by ob-
taining a greater number of
distinguished faculty, O‘Leary
said.

“These faculty members app-
ly for grants from foundation,
corporations or others,’ said
O‘Leary. ‘‘This money is just
not handed out. We are in com-
petition with other schools. The
more faculty we have, the more
money for research we’ll have,’’
he said.

Instead of being divided into
departments, SUNYA’s
graduate research program is
currently divided into eight
themes: public policy, cognition
and information, management,
writing and literacy, at-
mospheric science, public
health, teacher effectiveness and
humanistic studies.

“Basic support is given to
each program after the base
departments find out how much
money they need,’’ said

O’Leary. ‘‘[It is] base funding
that helps finance the theme
when referring to graduate
education and research,” he
said.

Once SUNYA’s actual budget
allocations are announced,
specific programs can be
developed, O’Leary said.

“We find out how much
money we get from our budget
and then we prioritize,’ said
O'Leary.

O'Leary said changes to the
graduate program will not
adversely affect the
undergraduate program as well.
“A university is a complicated
place and has many needs. We
want to move forward in the
graduate program without
sacrificing the undergraduate,”’
he said. “I want additional
dollars for both.”

A strong graduate program
will actually promote a better
undergraduate program,
O'Leary said.

“A major concern for the
undergraduate program is class
size,”? he said. ‘If we bring in
more faculty into the graduate
program, it would benefit the
undergraduates also,’’ he said.
This would reduce class size by
placing more faculty in “‘high

Niagara Falls
(AP) Two Niagara University students at-
tempted to go over Niagara Falls in a bar-
rel today but bailed out at the last minute
and were rescued just 200 yards from near-
certain death, officials said.

The two, identified as Harry Kallet, 20,
of Syracuse, and Michael J. Viscosi, 21, of
Scotia, were listed in good condition at
Niagra Falls Memorial Hospital after be-
ing plucked from a rock in the rapids.

The students were treated for scrapes
and a slight lowering of body temperature,
said hospital spokeswoman Laurie Bar-
rette. She said they were given
psychological examinations.

Officer Ron McNamee of the Niagara
Frontier State Park Police said the two
were heading for the 176-foot-high
Horseshoe Falls in a barrel but bailed out

when their oxygen failed and the barrel
started to take on water.

A US Army helicopter stood by the
rescue by at about 15 police, but was not
needed, police said.

“We did it because they’re there,” said
Viscosi, who added the two had planned
the stunt for a year and wanted to be the
first duo to go over the falls.

Asked why the stunt went wrong, Kallet
said, ‘because we had to skimp on
money.””

“T thought we were going to go over the
falls without the barrel,” Kallet added
after arriving at police headquarters to be
booked.

The two, dressed in hospital smocks and
barefoot, said they did not realize so many
people would have to risk their own lives
because of their attempted stunt.

“We feel like we were lucky,’’ Viscosi
added. ‘‘God was on our side.”

They clung to a rock in the cold, rushing
current about 100 feet from Three Sister
Island for more than an hour before Park
Police rescured them around 9 AM,
McNamee said.

McNamee said the two face disorderly
conduct charges and three other simple
violations in connection with the attemp-
ted stunt. The charges could result in fines
of $100 and up to 15 days in jail.

The two were expected to be held in the
Niagara Falls police jail until bail is set, of-
ficials said.

The barrel, which was smashed when it
was recovered from the bottom of the falls
by the Maid of the Mist tour boat, was 10
feet long by 5 feet wide and was made of
fiberglass and aluminum in Syracuse, ac-

Two students cheat death in Niagara Falls stunt

cording to Oscar Kallet, Harry’s brother.

The two were “‘on the last grab-hold of
mud, rocks and small trees’’ before the
falls, said Park Police Patrolman Patrick
Moriarty.

“There was nothing else between them
and the falls.’’

“Luckily for them, we sent safety lines
out to them,”’ said Moriarty. ‘‘You could
hear them screaming.””

“When we got to them, the first thing
they said was ‘Thank you,’ and that they
were sorry,’ Moriarty said. “If it wasn’t
for the safety lines, they would have gone
over.”

Moriarty said Ontario Hydro, the Cana-
dian agency that monitors the flow of
water to a power plant above the falls,
lowered the water level to give the two men
a better chance of hanging onto the rock.

Congress passes Higher Ed. Act

Although many financial aid ad-
ministrators and student leaders
had feared that Congress’ re-
working of the 1965 Higher
Education Act would result in
drastic aid cuts, the package
recently approved by Congress
would actually secure student aid
programs for the next five years.

The following are highlights of
Congress’ proposal, which are
currently awaiting approval from
President Reagan:

Work-Study Programs

Colleges and universities would
receive at least as much College
Work-Study aid as in academic
1985-86, with 75 percent of any
additional aid distributed to in-
stitutions based on need and 25
percent will be distributed evenly.

In addition, institutions will
have to match a larger share of
the federal work-study monies in
the future, up from 20 percent to
25 percent in 1989-90 and 30 per-
cent in 1990-91 and later years.

GSLs

The borrowing limit on
Guaranteed Student Loans would
be raised from $25,000 to $54,750
for students’ undergraduate and
graduate studies. The change
specifies increased limits allowed
for each year of study.

All borrowers would have to
meet a financial-needs test,
however. Currently, only families

that earn over $30,000 must meet
the need requirement.

Guaranteed Student Loans
would still have to be repaid
beginning six months after
graduating college and with a ten-
year time frame. Interest rates
would rise from eight to 10 per-
cent during the fifth year of
Tepayment.

NDSLs

Limits on National Direct Stu-
dent Loans would also increase
under Congress’ proposal, from
$3,000 to $4,500 per year for the
first two years; from $6,000 to
$9,000 for a complete
undergraduate education; and
from $12,000 to $18,000 for com-
plete post-secondary schooling.

The interest rate, however,
would remain constant at five
percent.

Repayments would only be re-
quired nine months after gradua-
tion, as opposed to the six month
time period currently in effect.

Institutions would still have to
match 10 percent of the federal
funds, and just like the work-
study program, each college and
university would receive at least
as much aid as in 1985-86, with 75
percent of any additional ap-
propriations to be distributed to
institutions based on need and 25
percent will be distributed evenly.

The legislation also proposed

that the NDSL program be
renamed ‘‘Perkins Loans’’ after
Carl D. Perkins, late chair of the
House Education and Labor
Committee.

Pell Grants

The Pell Grant limits are also
slated for increase, from $2,100
to $2,300 per year or 60 percent of
college costs, whichever is less.

A requirement that students
must take at least half a full
course load to be eligible would
be eliminated by 1989-90.
Students, however, would still be
required to pass a needs test and
minimum grants would continue
to be $200.

SEOGs

The maximum annual grant for
Supplemental Educational Op-
portunity Grants (SEOG) would
be raised from $2,000 to $4,000,
but the minimum grants would be
reduced from $200 to $100.

In other aid-related matters,
the proposal calls for a $15
million grant program to assist
colleges in providing child care
for disadvantaged students. Col-
leges would also have to imple-
ment a drug-prevention program
before students can receive
federal aid.

Education

By Susan Shannon

Over 1,000 students and 40 companies par-
ticipated in last Wednesday’s Career Day, which
gave students the opportunity to speak with
representatives from companies interested in
recruiting college-level employees.

“The firms were very happy with Albany and
the students seemed pleased,”’ said Career Day co-
chair Scott Sinclair.

Some firms, such as Electronic Data Systems
Corporation, came from as far away as Virginia
while others were locally based.

One IBM representative said companies par-
ticipate in campus development days because “‘it
is an excellent way to see the type of students on
the campuses.””

Some companies, such as Albany Home Sav-
ings Bank, were participating in a career day for
the first time. Albany Home Savings Bank’s
representatives were impressed with SUNYA
students, said an associate of the Human
Resources branch of the bank. ‘We are recruiting
on campus in March, and are looking forward to
hiring many SUNYA students,” she said.

Some students who participated in Career Day
didn’t view the event as a success, however. “It
seemed like everything was for accounting,’’ said
Alumni Quad junior Bruce Sasson.

Senior Mark Rubin agreed saying, ‘Basically I
went to Career Day to see what firms are out
there, but too much was geared to accounting ma-
jors,’’ said Rubin. ‘‘] wanted to get ideas about
what to do, but I wasn’t enlightened at all,’’ he
said.

Students met with representatives from 40 companies at Career Day last Wednesday.

Career day attracts crowds, firms

MIKE ACKERMAN UPS.

“We can’t force companies to come,” said
DeSantis. ‘‘It simply leans that way primarily
because those are the type of companies that like
to use the campus option.”

Even though the firms do hire mainly business
majors, they still look for other majors, DeSantis
said.

Although companies were here to become
familiar with SUNYA’s students, it was up to
students to take an initiative and pursue a formal
interview, said Victor J. DeSantis, associate direc-
tor of the Career Development Center and one of
the event’s organizers.

Career Day provided juniors and seniors with
an excellent opportunity to pursue potential
employment opportunities, DeSantis said.

In past years, SUNYA’s Career Day has been
accused of leaning toward having too ‘many
business-oriented companies, while not catering
towards other fields, said DeSantis.

“The business faculty and Career Development
Center have tried to make Career Day open to all
majors,” said DeSantis, noting that it is up to
each individual company to decide whether or not
to attend.

Because the size of the Campus Center
Ballroom meant that the event could have a max-
imum of 41 companies present, companies’ replies
to invitations were accepted on a first-come, first-
served basis, said Christina Frazzani, Career
Day’s other co-chair. Frazzani said she wished
more firms could have participated. Oo

Space case

President Ronald Reagan could have walked away
from last weekend’s summit in Reykjavic, Iceland with
substantial arms control agreements in his pocket.

Instead, Reagan walked away empty-handed, all
because of a space defense system that many people
believe will never work.

Reagan had a chance to reduce nuclear arms by at
least 20 to 30 percent over the next five years.

But his undying belief in the Strategic Defense
Initiative, better known as Star Wars, killed any
chances of an arms control agreement.

Reagan’s sincerity and utter dedication are to be
applauded. His actions however, are to be criticized.

Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev linked all potential
arms control agreements to one condition: for 10
years, SDI must stay out of the sky and remain in the
lab. The request seemed reasonable, especially when
most American experts agree that the space defense
system won’t be effective until well into the 21st
century.

In contrast to the experts, Reagan said that
restricting SDI to the lab for 10 years would kill the
program. He foolishly insists SDI could be a reality in
this century.

Apparently the American public has gotten caught
up in Reagan’s fantasy-like perception.

In a New York Times/CBS News poll, Reagan’s
public approval rating went up from 64 percent to 73
percent after the summit failure.

The poll also shows that 68 percent of those polled
said the United States should not give SDI up in
exchange for nuclear arms control agreements. But no
one said anything about giving anything up —
Gorbachev only wanted to limit SDI to lab testing.

If SDI fails to materialize, it will be because of
Congress, and not the Soviets.

Congress is expected to slash military spending
across the board, courtesy of Gramm-Rudman.
There’s no way Washington will approve large
appropriations for SDI, no matter how good the
system supposedly will be.

Reagan spoke Wednesday to about 50 high school
students in Fort McHenry in Baltimore. He compared
SDI to the fort, which was built by ‘‘far-sighted
individuals’’ 15 years before it played a pivotal role in
the war,

Far-sighted hardly describes Reagan’s actions in
Iceland. If he bothered to look to the future, he would
have realized that peace is the most valuable
contribution he can make.

Success in Iceland would have been a small, but
significant step toward peace. A truly far-sighted
leader would have realized that.

Secret meeting

Everything is pretty hush-hush around the
University Alcohol Committee.

It held its first meeting last Tuesday, but the
committee decided not to let any members of the press
in on the proceedings.

We know their reasons for not letting us in. But
some of their other secretive moves aren’t as
excusable.

The committee is made up of five students and six
members of the administration. When a University
committee has stud. ts on it, the University routinely
confers with Studea! Association to discuss possible
nominees. a

This did occur back in February, when Vice
President of Student Affairs Frank Pogue consulted
with SA leaders. But the slots weren't filled, as
nominees declined or failed to respond to Pogue’s
invitations.

Instead of going back to SA, Pogue selected. the
students himself. The stu¢ents he picked are probably
qualified, but that’s not the issue.

While these students will provide the committee with
a student’s perspective, they won’t represent the
student body as a whole.

Last-spring we elected Student Association leaders
— peers who we wanted to represent us. These people
speak for most of us. When they can’t do so in person,
they assign the task to other students with similar
goals.

The students on the alcohol committee may have
their own concerns in mind, they aren’t necessarily
devoted to student causes.

Students, and not administrators, should be picking
which of our peers should represent students on these
committees.

That’s the only way to ensure that the students on
these committees are working for what’s best for
students — not what the administration thinks is best.

Atrocities in Afghanistan

It is 1986, and the holocaust is alive and well. Not the
holocaust of Jews in Europe, but a new holocaust of an
entire nation — Afghanistan. As the Western World ig-
nores it, ongoing atrocities are being committed by the
Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and we cannot afford to sit
idly by while it is happening. The Soviets and their puppet
Afghan regime attack civilian targets daily — villagers in
the markets, farmers in the fields, even wedding parties.
They attack caravans of mostly women and children as
they flee to refugees in Pakistan. These are the deliberate
and calculated attacks of appallingly barbaric Soviet

policy.
David James Tassone

There are five major areas of concern to us in
Afghanistan. The first is the increasing murder of the
Afghan people. In 1983, an Afghan refugee from the
Panjsher Valley told a human rights panel in Oslo, Nor-
way of a Soviet attack in his village in 1980. Many
villagers were killed. Some of the dead were decapitated
by Soviet soldiers who thought it was amusing to put the
men’s heads on the women’s bodies and vice versa. In
April of 1985, almost 800 people from pregnant women
and newborns to senior citizens were shot, hanged, tor-
tured, burned, beaten or decapitated by Soviet soldiers
according to eyewitness reports of refugees from the
Laghman Valley. In December of 1984, as Soviet soldiers
went searching from house to house in the villages of
Bilwom to impress young Afghan men into the army,
several women were raped and blown up with grenades
afterwards. A few days later, Soviet soldiers in the nearby
villages of Rarao Keshlok Payan, Rarao Keshlok Bala,
Tal Gouzar and Tut Mazar entered every house, killing
over 600 people by shooting them in the heads and tor-
ching their houses.

Michael Barry, a leading Western expert on
Afghanistan, added up all the names on lists of people ex-
ecuted in the Poli Charki concentration camp near the
capital of Kabul. These lists were made by the Soviets
themselves, which amounted to over 27,000 people dead
by early January of 1980. The United Nations
acknowledges the massacre of civilians in U.N. reports.
In September of 1982, many Afghans were hiding from
Soviet troops in an underground irrigation channel in
Padkhwab. The soldiers poured a white mixture into the
channel and set it on fire, killing 105 people, including
children, The U.N. reports that in October of 1983, in the
villages of Kulchabat, Bala Karz and Muskizi, and in
March of 1984, in the villages of Dash-e-Bolokhan and
Dash-e-Asukhan, several hundred civilians were
massacred on each occasion.

The second area of concern is the continuous burning
of crops, destruction of livestock and irrigation systems
on the part of the Soviet troops. The ultimate goal is to
push Afghanistan into a famine, starving millions to
weaken resistance and force Afghans into submission.
Today, there are thousands starving in Afghanistan, and
the children are hit hardest. They resemble the starving of
Ethiopia.

The third area is the cruelest deception to Afghan

children being carried out by the Soviets in the villages
and countryside. Soviet helicopters fly overhead, dropp-
ing toys and trinkets to the ground. The children become
curious and amused and rush over to pick up these
“*presents”’, which are really bombs. They explode in the
children’s hands, and with no hands and arms, they won’t
be able to fight the Soviets later on when they grow up —
another desired Soviet goal.

The fourth area is the blatant kidnapping of Afghan
children. Soviet authorities are taking thousands of inno-
cent Afghan children away from their families and shipp-
ing them off to the Soviet Union to be indoctrinated in
primary schools in to the Soviet-Communist way of life.
What better way to rob a nation of its future than to steal
its youth?

The fifth area is the needed support of the resistance
movement in Afghanistan — the Mojahedin guerillas.
These Afghan freedom fighters, with an undying love for
God and their homeland, ambush Soviet troops and
destroy Soviet tanks with mines and rocket fire. They also
down Soviet fighter jets with rocket fire. They have killed
over 15,000 Soviet troops thus far in defending
themselves and their homeland. The United States, Israel,
China and Pakistan provide most of the weapons to the
Mojahedin, however, much more is needed.

Soviet atrocities in Afghanistan are becoming more and
more frequent, but we in the West see very little about the
holywar in the media due to extreme Soviet censorship.
Western governments fear becoming more involved and
provoking the Soviets, or that Moscow will refuse to
discuss the matters as it usually seems to do when the
Soviets do something wrong and are caught at doing it.
We cannot afford to remain silent. Since the Soviet inva-
sion in December of 1979, thirty-five percent of the
Afghan population as of 1978 is either dead or in exile,
When the first reports of the Jewish holocaust in Europe
came to our knowledge in the early 1940's, they were
shrugged off as “‘unsubstantiated’’, that their sources
were unreliable and hysterical. Several years ago, we
didn’t want to believe that there was a problem in Cam-
bodia until over 3 million people were killed or starved to
death, When it’s too late, we always say, “‘If we only
knew ahead of time.’’ We also say, ‘‘Never again, never
again.’’ But it is happening, now, today, at the very mo-
ment you’re reading this. Afghanistan is again! The
Soviets are giving this message to the Afghan people loud
and clear: Submit, get out, or die hideously. Senator
Gorden Humphrey of New Hampshire, who is the chair-
man of the Congressional Task Force on Afghanistan,
said ‘‘The courageous, gallant and fearless people of
Afghanistan are engaged in a war against a Soviet oc-
cupation force that has resorted to raw terror as a mode
of military occupation, terror that parallels the worst
atrocities of Nazi Germany.’’ Please, become involved.
You can voice your concern about this holocaust and do
something about it too. Contact the spokesman for the
local Albany Islamic Union, Ghafar Warasta, at 785-7507
or write to Senator Gorden Humphrey, the United States

spectfully Yours

ou knew it was ‘Pizza Day’ at Camp Whining Child because not a single
Y kid cried as the parents pulled out of the parking lot. Even Hysterical

Hilda withheld the usual onslaught of tears and accompanying
hyperventilation.

“What? No tears today, Hilda? Not feeling deserted in this desolate wasteland
we call ‘Day Camp’? (I was suffering a severe case of Counselor Burnout and
always enjoyed tormenting her.)

“Huh?” Her fat little cheeks flushed red. “I just want my pepperoni. Today's
Pizza Day, right?” Her lower lip began to quiver.

A quivering lip was my cue to bring Hilda to her counselor. Thankfully my
days with the pre-school campers were long gone.

‘My’ kids were far more challenging — they were the Pre-Pubescent Bunch. A
group of female clones with identical hair, clothing and mannerisms, these size 3
pre-teen beauty queens had very mixed emotions about ‘Pizza Day.’

“T only ordered one slice ‘a pizza ‘cause | don’t wanna get fat.” Almost-sexy
Suzy caressed her nearly non-existent hips. “I don’t want to be like my sister.
She’s 15 and she’s already fat — almost a size 7.”

Nicole was the token jock and the only unique personality in the bunch. She
wasn’t even aware that she had hips, let alone what their size was.

‘I'm havin’ three slices cuz I love pizza. And I want extra cheese and pepperoni
on mine,” she said. She bounced a basketball through her legs.

“You're gonna get fa-at,” sang Suzy, puffing out her cheeks to look like Nicole
in later life.

“Who cares?” retorted my hero, Nicole, and with one quick shove she pushed
Sexy-Suzy into the poison ivy patch. Of course outwardly I had to maintain the
appearance of disgust. “Hey, hey, girls, Knock it off. We have to try to get along
despite our differences. Nicole, help Suzy out of the poison ivy.” I smiled at her,
hoping she secretly understood that I liked her style. I do believe that to this day
Nicole and I share the common wish that Suzy becomes a blimp someday, even
bigger than her sister,

When the pizza arrived at camp that afternoon, the counselors looked to one
another for moral support. We saw the Pizza Palace truck pull into the parking
lot, the little pot-bellied delivery guy Tunning to the back of the truck. Behind us
a mob of hungry children was starting to push forward.

Barbie, my co-counselor in despair, clutched my arm in fear. | whispered to
her, “Oh shit, Barb. It’s here. Run for your life.”

As usual I had perfect timing. One of the pre-schoolers had broken out of her
chains and was just passing by as I had whispered. “Ooh! You said the ‘S’ word,
You said shit. I heard you and I'm telling. Counselors aren‘t s‘posed to curse.”

“Look, kid. If you won't tell your mom (probably involved with the moral ma-
jority) about this, I'll give you some of my Diet Coke.”

“Nope. Got my own Diet Coke.” :

“How about an extra Free Swim tomorrow?”

“Uh uh.”

“I don’t believe this, Barb. I'm standing here making a deal with this 5-year-old
little shit just so Mrs. Morality won't report me to the supervisor.”

“You said it again. You said the ‘S’ word again.”

“Look, you little creep. Keep your mouth shut and mind your own business,
or else I'll see to it that the pizza never gets past your lips. Do you understand?”

Pizza was an incredibly powerful weapon to use on some children. This one
looked at me in absolute horror and ran back through the crowd.

Now the delivery van was unloaded. The sentiments of the children were
overly enthusiastic. As they trampled one another to get in line, the scene looked!
like something out of Lord of the Flies. And there I stood, blowing my lungs all
through my whistle, and screaming in between shrills:

“Line up. Line up. | said line up, or you won't get your pizza.”

“Who are ya kidding,” bellowed one of my pubescent genuises. “What the
heck are you gonna do with 25 pizzas if you don’t give ‘em out?” She had a
point. She was also stepping on a pre-schooler, but that was of secondary impor-
tance right now.

Co-counselor Barb was of no help during the Pizza Riot. She and ten other
worthless counselors now crouched behind a mound of lunchboxes in the supply
shed.

“Would someone give me a hand out here?’ I pleaded. “Anyone, please.”

“We can’t,” came a collective voice. “We're looking for the kickball.”

“Yeah. and the frisbee, too.” That was Barb.

When the supervisor arrived to supervise, everyone emerged from the shed,
smiling and eager to hand out pizza to their group. Several of the younger
children were crying — being trampled is always a harrowing experience.

Hysterical Hilda had a footprint on the back of her Camp Whining Child tee-
shirt.

“Uh oh,” I said to Barb. “Better brush that print off before her mother wonders
how it got there.”

We smiled at Hilda and she grinned back, sauce all over her tear-stained face,
She really was enjoying that pizza.

Just then a stray basketball bounced by, hitting Hilda hard in the shoulder,
knocking her pizza to the ground. She picked it up and looked at the dirt
covered mozzarella and the tears began to flow.

It was another day at Camp Whining Child — but it was special. It was ‘Pizza

Day’.

Aspects 3a

Pitts rises to the stage

ife is the pits, right? Well, it is for
& Daphne Pitts, but she’s laughing

about it. . .and so are we.

Diane Sepansky

As part of Minority Alumni Weekend,
comedienne Daphne Pitts performed
Saturday at the Alumni Dinner Dance held
at the Marriott Hotel in Albany. Daphne is
a SUNY graduate (1976) who receive both
her BA and. MA (Education) at SUNY
Albany.

What is a nice Education major doing in
the word of comedy? “Comedy is
educating people, think about it,” Daphne
explains. “When people are laughing, tak-
ing it from a psychological point of view,
they either laugh at you, with you, or
because of you. Now, if you can direct that
in a way that’s not demeaning, that’s not
self-deprecating; if you can take comedy
and you can manage to manipulate it in
such a way that people are feeling good
and they feel better than they did when
they last say you-if you can do that-I mean,
that's education,”

Daphne's act is funny, but more impor:
tantly, it takes .an enlightening look at the
problems, stereotypes, and prejudices we
all face. “Lady P. (Daphne's stage name) is a
combination of everybody I've met, cause
life can be the pits, but if you take that and
manipulate it, it can be fun.” Underneath
the funky clothes and crazy hats of Lady P.
lies a very intelligent woman with a serious
message. “There are a lot of biases and
stereotypes, that we don’t talk about. You
can do it through humor. Through educa-
tion you can take things, a concept, you
can help people talk about being hungry,
and what it's about through humor. ‘Beans
every day’-now what you're talking about
is hunger. You can talk about this man, this
old bum on the street-you're talking about

the homeless, . .you laugh, but sometimes,
every now and then, cerebrally, it touches
somebody and people really, intrinsically,
take it in. .

“Men are either breast men, leg men or
thigh men-I feel like a chicken!” Daphne is
not Whoopi Goldberg, but not one person
at the Reunion seemed to care. For that
matter, neither does she. “I like Whoopi
Goldberg, but I don’t want to be Whoopi
Goldberg. | want to be a lady. But | want to
joke about the problems ladies have being
ladies.”

Yet once again, behind the laughter cries
the shrill voice of reality. Hospitalized for
five years with tuberculosis, sexually abus-
ed asa child, and an unwed mother at 18,
Daphne knows firsthand that life can be
“D. Pitts.” As she puts it, “If you look at the
odds, ideally Daphne Pitts should not be
today.”

But she turns around, just as quickly as
her rapid-fire wit, and remarks, “You can
survive that kind of trauma, | survived it.
You can do anything you want to do.” For
Daphne, this encompasses opening for
such acts as Bob Marley and Gladys
Knight, being sales training consultant for
Digital and IBM, and founding her own
consulling agency, Legacy.

While at SUNY she helped found the
Alumni Quad daycare center, worked 3
jobs to pay for school, served as Dorm
Director on State Quad, managed a few
gigs here and theze, and at the same time
raised her son, who lived with her at
SUNY.

“My energy comes from within. . .my
token is let me love and live as best I can.”

Daphne talks excitedly about her for-
thcoming book and album, both entitled
Life is D. Pitts. “People have always said to
me the most important thing is how you
take and make your life work for you.”

In five years, she hopes to be the next

Tasting the slices of Albany

enemas

Pop’s only after beer

e had heard many rumors about Pop’s Pizza,

W« we didn't believe that anything could be

so awful. Well, we found out the truth, and

we should have heeded everyone's warning. Just the

look of the place causes instant nausia. If you are a

glutton for punishment, and you really want to try
this pizza, bring along some Alka Seltzer.

Located at 189 Quail Street, it is a wonder how
this place remains in business. Perhaps it is because
most of the customers are coming from the local
bars, Frank's Living Room and the Lamp Post, and
they are too intoxicated to know what they are
eating anyway. It is open for the “prime” eating
hours of SUNY students, 4pm to lam.

When you walk into the place, you hope and
pray the pizza makes up for the poor decor. Unfor-
tunately, all hopes are destroyed at the sight of the
pizza. The slices looked like they were sitting on the
counter for two weeks. Our first instinct was to take
it to the biology department to have it classified as a
fungus. We asked for 2 sodas and the guy’ behind
the counter grunted and pointed to a decrepit soda

We were professionals: we knew we had to at-
tempt a fate worse than death, we had to taste the
pizza. There are no words to describe what horror
befell us after we tasted our first bite, The crust was
like a New York Times that had been laying in a
puddle for a week. It had no flavor, it was soggy and
drenched with grease. The sauce was in small quan-
tities and flavorless, it would have been best to leave
it out altogether. The cheese resembled melted
plastic and was one solid mass. This place made UAS
look like Tavern on the Green.

We took two bites, gulped down our soda, and
threw the remainder of the “pizza” out. We valued
‘our stomachs too much to finish eating this “food”,

We walked down the block with unfulfilled ap-
petites, thinking, “Next stop — Burger King.”

Central Avenue between Quail and Lark

Streets, did not look like anything spec-

shocked: If you want good pizza and atmosphere,
this is the place to come to.

Inside, it was dimly lit and and decorated in good
taste. There was a small counter area with stools for
a more casual and quick meal. On the right hand
side there were booths which resemble the ones
found in SUNYA’s good old Ratskellar. We were
seated in the booths by a waitress as we heard a
jukebox blaring old Jackson Five favorites. The
pleasantness of the waitress added a nice touch to
our meal.

We ordered our usual, two slices and a soda, hop-
ing that the pizza would be as good as the place ap-
peared. In a few minutes, the perfect pizza sat in
front of us on the table. The cheese covered the piz-
za evenly, and the crust was of a good thickness,

Delight came to our faces after biting into the first
slice, This was the highlight of our pizza investiga-
tion. Pizza Barron was not at all stingy when it came
to cheese. The mozzarella was plentiful, perfectly

itting on top of a very big hill overlooking a
S picturesque scene of railroad tracks and a

vacant lot sits a small out-of-the-way
pizzeria. Obviously its location on 1095 Central
Avenue is not Little Anthony’s better point. But it is
relatively close to campus and does have free
delivery service. Its dining area is not large — three
tables to be exact — so don’t come here with a large
group of friends. It is clean and tidy despite its
outward appearance,

Don't be fooled by Little Anthony's logo — you
know, the ugly kid with fat cheeks wearing a cap
backwards — it’s a face only a mother could love
The artistic value of the logo does not reflect the

irst off, one of the things Albany Campus

Pizzeria needs is some decent fly traps. This

is a haven for hungry flies. The reason for
this might be because of the constant in and out of
customers, since it is located in “bustling” West Gate
Shopping Center.

The dining area is a good attribute of the place. It
is spacious, clean, and has a large amount of tables
for big crowds. There are some hanging plants and
prints to give the place a little life, and possibly take
your mind off what you are eating.

Prices here are higher than average, but that has
no correlation to the quality of the pizza. But just
seeing a slice, a pizza lover witnesses his worst
nightmare: GREASE. Considering the quantity of oil
used, a Texas oil tycoon could strike it rich on a
single slice. The grease just flows off this pizza.

The sauce is nothing to rave about, so we won't. It
is just one of your everyday, run-of-the-mill tomato
sauces. The crust tasted like nothing more than
burnt toast. It is hard, thin, black, and hardly sup-
ports its topping. One of the worst parts of the pizza
was the cheese. Supposedly of 100 percent milk, it
tasted more like it was made from a gum base. The
word that came into our minds as we ate the pizza
was bazooka.

Albany Campus Pizza also serves hot subs, offers
a selection of pizza toppings, and delivers for free.
Out of all the pizzerias in Albany, this is not our
Number 1 recommendation, but if you are shopping
for that special someone, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to
stop in for a slice.

quality of the pizza. In fact, the pizza is somewhat
tasty.

Most pizza lovers like a good mix of cheese,
sauce, and crust. Little Anthony's pizza is primarily
dominated by sauce. Although it is not'a spectacular
recipe, the sauce is abundant in every bite-full. The
sauce is comparatively bland, and definitely
overbearing. After tasting a slice, you may ask,"Is
there cheese on this pizza?” By carefully examining
the pizza, we concluded there were small traces of
cheese. And supporting the red lake of sauce and
minute cheese islands, is a well formed crust. This is
one of Little Anthony's pizza‘a better attributes.
The crust is soft yet it is not flimsy; it is carefully

ocated at 289 Ontario Street, a few blocks

from Alumni Quad, Pine Hills Pizzeria of-

fers quality pizza at affordable prices for
students. You may not have known Pine Hills was a
pizzeria, from the outside it might appear to be a
plant store. From floor to ceiling the front area of
the establishment is covered with an array of green
plants. As you enter, your eyes are drawn to a paper
sign which reads “Water-$.25 with $.10
without.” A place for free water it is not, but if you
are looking for good pizza, go to Pine Hills

Pine Hills does deliver for a small fee, but if you
want to eat there, five tables are available for your
dining pleasure. Only Sicilian pizza is served by the
slice. If you want regular pizza you must order a pie.
Also offered are a variety of toppings as well as
chicken wings and subs,

The service is prompt and the pizza is fresh. When
you first bite into the it, you might be shocked to
find such a quality pizza in Albany. This is not your
typical watery sauce and processed cheese concoc-

baked to perfection. Overall, the pizza is slightly
above average.

The prices are reasonable and there is a large
selection of extra toppings. Little Anthony's also of-

tion. To the contrary, it is quite appealing to the
tastebuds.

The crust of the sicilian pizza is light and airy, but
not very crunchy, similiar to pretzel dough. A
tangy, zesty tomato sauce blankets the crust and the
melted mozarella cheese tops off this fine example
of Italian cuisine. Pine Hills also offers thick crusted
as well as thin. crusted pizza.

On weekdays, combo specials are offered. Mon-
day and Tuesday you can get three slices for $1.50,
and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, two slices
and a small beverage are available for the low price

So if you can still walk a block after a wild night
at Bogie’s, or if you are in the Downtown area, stop
in at Pine Hills for a low budget, high quality pizza.

Aspects 7a

Brackenbury’s worlds

food an awful lot.’’ This statement

came from Rosalind Brackenbury
during one of the lighter moments of an
address that the Scottish novelist (‘‘but
I’m a poet as well. It’s just that you’re
more visible as a novelist.’’) presented in
the Humanities Lounge. Brackenbury
shared excerpts from her books Sense
and Sensuality and Crossing the Water as
well as from several poems. Appropriate-
ly describing Sense and Sensuality is the
following piece from a book review:

4 l appears to me that I write about

Lynn Matyjewicz

“Faced with chances of breaking the
mold of unleashing hidden passions,
Brackenbury’s heroine, Alice, cannot
sacrifice one aspect of herself for the
other, and from this conflict springs
poetry, the voice of the modern woman
confronting a bewildering array of
choices and expectations... Rosalind

Brackenbury is marvelously clever at
evoking the past without sentimentali-
ty.’ This particular work is ‘‘an in-
vestigation of why someone growing up
female would become a ‘writer.’

She then read a passage illustrating the

duality of the book in which the heroine
had to choose between two worlds--that
of her grandmother and that of her
mother:
‘And all the time, there were the colors,
the contrasts. The nursery was cream,
with the angry red of the gas fire at its
centre. Her mother’s flesh, white, and
the new baby a dusky flushed red with
the blackest of hair. And she, Alice, diz-
zy, spun bet ween two extremes, would be
ill with it unless she penetrated the secret,
unless she understood why. . . From one
to the other, searching, sniffing; from the
furniture polish, cold-book smell of the
drawing room, the velvet-curtain smell of
the larder where the killed pigs
hung...her domain, this in which to
search and find the clues, that would
make sense, that would make
coherence... Yet there was the other
side, too, there was the contrasting col-
our, the rich-red-gold against the pale,
mean blue; there was the other world, her
grandmother’s house... there was the col-
or, the smell, the touch of luxury. In-
stantly recognizable, for even after: in
the feeling of material, in a word, a
name, in the taste of wine, the cold touch
of fur, in color, in sensation, in the fall-
ing away into physical ecstasy, in all
joyful surrender. The red and gold of
life.’

Lynch’s true Blue

ARNING: The Surgeon General
W'= determined that Blue Velvet
may offend your senses, especially

your sense of good taste.

Jeffrey Balsam

Perhaps such a cautionary phrase includ-
ed in advertisements for David Lynch's
new film; Blue Velvet would act as a
deterrent and save a good many people
from experiencing a quite unenjoyable
couple of hours.

Blue Velvet is a brutally violent film
which includes numerous acts of perver-
sion, depravity, and ruthlessness which are
unacceptable on any level.

As the aforementioned actions continue
to occur throughout the film, one is temp-
ted to think that perhaps they could be ac-
cepted or even excused for the sake of an
intriguing movie, perverse though it may
be.

In the case of Blue Velvet, however, it
soon became evident that the film would
not be intriguing, in fact the film was so
full of incongruities that it made little sense
at all,

Unentertaining though it was, Blue
Velvet did display consistency. lt was a bad
film on all levels. In addition to offending
in many ways, the dialogue left much to
example, and the actors, most notably Kyle
MacLachlan, drifted through the film
displaying about as much emotion as a
cardboard box.

One wonders where the idea for such a
movie could have come from and why
anyone would have thought it of sufficient
quality to be made. Perhaps it was thought
that the film was so bizarre and distorted
that it would appeal to the baser instincts
of audiences. If so, a major error in judg-
ment was made, for Blue Velvet is a distur-
bing film which provokes revulsion and
disinterest rather than some twisted form
of satisfaction.

The film begins innocently enough as
images of a smalltown are displayed and
the theme song, “Blue Velvet,” a ‘60s hit by
Bobby Vinton, is heard in the background.
Soon, however, such innocence disappears
never to return, and tragedy strikes. An

elderly man watering his lawn collapses in
agony, hands clutching his throat.

Enter a young man (Kyle MacLachlan),
who we soon discover is the victim’s son.
Home from college to visit his ailing father,
MacLachlan becomes embroiled in a
mystery that begins with the discovery of a
human ear covered with ants in a field near
his house.

After leaving the ear with a local police
detective he enlists the aid of the detec-
tive’s daughter (Laura Dern), and with the
information she provides, plunges headfirst
into a web of sexual depravity and life-
threatening danger.

At the heart of the bizarre mystery is the
relationship between a local singer (Isabella
Rossellini) and one of the most depraved
characters introduced in movies in recent
years, a perverted psychopath named
Frank, played viciously by Dennis Hopper.

MacLachlan spies on Rossellini and
discovers that she submits to horrific acts
performed by Hopper. He soon discovers
why, and it is then that he attempts to aid
Rossellini and overcome the cruel Hopper.

Unfortunately, the premise is rather:
strained, and the relationship which
develops between Maclachlan and
Rossellini is difficult to accept. In addition,
‘the ongoing action is so incongruous and
often absurd, that one wonders if Lynch

Brackenbury’s Crossing the Water is a
conversational piece about two couples
going out for dinner in Paris. Many of
the passages Brackenbury read are clearly
reflective of the poets being brought-up
in England and subsequently moving to
Scotland, where she now lives, writes,
and teaches. Said she, ‘‘Poetry matters in
Scotland. It’s not such a marginal issue
as it is in England.’”’

Currently, she is writing a book about
writing. It is a ‘guide to people who want
to write based on insights and thoughts
I’ve just had. I realized how much of the
nation of proper English has shut up
creative writing.”

To a listeners’ observation that most of
her themes pertain to women, Rosalind
replied, ‘It’s much easier to work with

what I do know.’’ Another person
remarked about how her work is
sometimes, but rarely, translated in

Scotland. She responded, ‘“‘I think if peo-
ple really want to know what you are say-
ing, they’ll get a translation.’’

Of D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Wolf
she said, ‘‘They were both very strong in-
fluences’’ in her writing. She added that
Lawrence gives English people a new
outlook. She was ‘“‘overwhelmed by
something that takes your life over--
that’s the effect he had on me. I was
knocked-out by him.’’

Ms. Brackenbury’s writing as evidenc-
ed in this reading clearly exemplifies the
words of the person who introduced her,
who said that writing is the ‘‘highest
art...because it sets us dreaming.’’ oO

bomb

was trying to insult the audiences’ collec-
tive intelligence.

Blue Velvet is reminiscent of a
nightmare. Not only due to the fact that
the plot is dark and frightening, but
because the unusual filmmaking techni
ques used by Lynch attempt to depict the
film as illusionary and oblique. Such
techniques, however, fail to improve the
entertainment value of the film, as they
help muddle the action even further. In
fact, it was during these scenes that many
chose to exit the theater and escape from
this cinematic disaster.

An unofficial tally revealed that no
fewer than twenty people left the theater
well before the conclusion, several mutter-
ing expletives or condemning their friends
for having suggested they attend the film.

Those who walked out had the right
idea, though those remaining apparently
did so with the hope it would improve. It
soon became evident Blue Velvet would
not. Hopefully, the initial warning was suf-
ficient. If not, perhaps nominating Blue
Velvet for worst film of the year will pre-
vent others from sharing in the misfortune
of sitting through Lynch’s flop. Please
avoid it at all costs. is

Death

an, what's your father do for a liv-

] ing? “Not much,” I say, or “He's an

undercover agent.” Whomever
brought up the subject stares at me.

Ian Spelling

l explain my father is dead, has been and
always will be. Come October 19th, four-
teen years will have passed. “I'm sorry”
rolls from my peer's lips. Sorry for what?
Me? How could you possibly know?

“Did you love him?” Sure I did, he’s my
father. That comes with the territory. But!
he left me. Left my mom. My brother. My}
coving father up and went. “How did he
die?” A stroke. The hospital called one day’
and | answered. “Is your mother there,”
queried Florence Nightengale. I was only
seven, but I knew my dad lay dead, with a|
sheet covering his face.

Mom sat onvthe bed with my brother
and me. “Your father passed away,” she
said. We sat there crying, forever it seem-
ed. I broke the ice. “Will we be able to
keep the house? How will we survive?”
Mom reassured us. The future could only
bring pleasant memories.

The immediate future played itself out
interminably. Friends my mom had not
seen in years (or since) showed up to pay
their respects. Relatives flew in. Share the|
grief, you know? Condolence caids *suf-
focated the piano. Where would the world
be if it weren't for the schmuck who writes
those sacred messages for Hallmark?

Following a death, bills are paid and
tributes are made. Insurance pays for this
and that. My dad earned a forest's worth of
trees planted in his name in the land of
peace and love we call Israel. I wonder if
they haven't been blown to bits too. Hell,
he even had a film projector dedicated to
him at the Merrick Library. So everytime
some close-knit family watches Laurel and|
Hardy beat the tar out of each other, my
dad lives on.

As I've said, my dad’s been dead for|
almost half of my life, and I'm 21 years old.
I never really knew him, though his indeli-
ble mark can be seen through my eyes.
First, my name. lan. A wonderful name to}
put in a video game when I shoot a path to}
a top-ten score. The name, again, is lan.
Pronounce it correctly~E-in. Not Ion or
Eanne or Eon.

I've been told I look quite similar to my,
father. I don’t know. Get back to me in 30}
years, As for reminders of my youth, only|
trivial possessions exist. I write this article
wearing my father’s watch. Big deal. I occa-
sionally use his tie clip. Wow. My family
never bothered to pose for a family por-|
trait, and no photo can be found of dad
with me. For my birthday that November}
he bought me a present which he hid in a|
closet. A beautiful puppet in the figure of a
horse. This little treasure survives today.
Mom offered it to me the day dad died in|
order to cheer me up. It did. For five}
minutes. Not fourteen years.

Dad made me only one promise he fail-
ed to deliver on. And that was to be my}
Little League team’s manager. I hate him
for that. I hate him for dying on me. The|
minor-A Dodgers reached the’ playoffs.
The Senators won the series. I placed these
trophies on the shelf where they reside to-
day, cobwebs and all. The trophies meant a)
lot then, but not what they should have.

Fourteen years after the fact I deal with
culture shock. Divorce is in. Death is not.
By dying, my father divorced himself from
everything and everyone. He missed the}
joys and sorrows, the Islander Stanley]
Cups, the space shuttles, and my growth.

I missed what I never had. What I never
will have. I loved my father. Hate and love|
go hand-in-hand. My anger at my father
keeps my love for him alive. I love you,
dad, wherever you are.

And wherever you weren't. Q

Women united

To the Edit

We are writing in response to the article ‘Men, Women
Rally Against Rape,’’ Sept. 30. We see the article as hav-
ing three basic problems: the focus, the language, and the
content.

The focus of the article was incorrect. The topic is too
important to be exploited by controversy. It is our
understanding that traditionally Take Back the Night
marches have two basic goals. One is to make a statement
against violence towards women, but the other goal in-
volves something deeper than that. The march gives
women a chance to actively come together and feel sup-
port and strength from each other as we reclaim (take
back) a safe environment. It is not only a protest, but a
chance to feel united and safe. Only one of these goals
came out in the article.

Secondly, language choice was poor. An immediate ex-
ample of this is seen in the headline: ‘Men, Women Rally
Against Rape’’. Given the history of the march, it is an
odd headline regardless; however, if it is necessary to in-
clude men in the headline, they should not have been
first. Afterall, there were only approximately ten men out
of three hundred women who participated in the march.
This is another instance where women are put in second
place after men. Another example of poor language
choice is by heading the continuation of the story “‘Rape
Rally’’. It is an understatement to suggest the march is
solely an anti-rape march, however, ‘‘Anti-Rape Rally”
would have been a more appropriate continuation
heading.

The choice for a picture showing a young child carrying
a sign saying ‘‘Stop Rape Now’”’, was ineffective in por-
traying what went on that night. A more suitable picture
would have shown the large group of women together in
unity.

Thirdly, the argument given against including men in

the march was insubstantial . The quotes chosen did not
express the totality of the issues involved in coming to
such a decision as to march as a separate group. A major
reason women chose to march with other women, in-
volves the meaning of the march, that is women em-
powering women. It was not a rejection of men, but an
affirmation of women. Quotes were given to suggest this
position in the article; however, without the history of
past marches completely explained, these quotes sound to
the uninformed public as unwarrantedly angry. The sup-
port of men would have been greater appreciated had
their support been clearly stated as, “‘men supporting
women in taking back the night.”’

This was one night where women did not need to call
Don’t Walk Alone. It was a night where women walked
safely together to Take Back the Night. We want this
understood as the meaning of the demonstration.

Remembering Ilene

To the Editor:

Tlene Fleischer will not be coming back to SUNYA next
semester as all of her friends had hoped. Ilene passed
away last Saturday leaving behind many people who lov-
ed her and will deeply miss her. To this school of 200 stu-
dent lecture halls and cold concrete buildings, Ilene was
merely a student with a good grade point average, a pay-
ing customer if you will. But to her many friends and to
myself, she was a beautiful and warm human being
always willing to help.

I have many memories of Ilene from when she lived
next door to me two years ago. She would bring me soup
when J had a cold, a box of donuts when she found out
that my friends and myself were raiding her refrigerator,
she would watch Letterman with us at night. I can
remember how she always tried to make people feel
special on their birthdays. I can remember how she dress-
ed up as a quad tower with her suitemates for Halloween.

What I will remember more than all of this, is the four
months or so that I considered her my best friend. She
stayed up late with me and held my hand when I needed
it. At a time when I was filled with a lot of hurt and a lot
of anger, Ilene helped to make me smile and see the good
side. We lost that closeness over time. But, never did I
feel that the special bond between us was broken.

When her friends heard she was ill we were all
devastated. Still, like old times she insisted on cheering
me up.

I wanted her to be well because I missed her and she
was the type of girl you had to care about. In time all of
the people who cared for Ilene will not feel her loss as
heavily as we do now. But time will never take her
memory from us, time cannot take away the love she felt

for life. . . and for people, nor will it ever diminish our
love for her. We will all miss this beautiful girl deeply.

Downing those dogs

To the Editor

On Tuesday night, two brothers of Pi Lambda Phi
fraternity, Dan Alexander and Mark Russell, with the
help of pledge Brian Florio, represented SUNYA in “The
Best of the Worst”. This was an attempt to set a new
world record for hot dog eating. At the Latham Price
Chopper, teams from Union College, Siena College, and
Albany State competed for the right to be called “‘The
Best of the Worst’’. Although no world record was set,
the Albany team won the competition by downing 41 hot
dogs in three minutes and ten seconds. This just edged out
the second place team of Union, they consumed 38 hot
dogs. The members of the winning teamreach received 100
dollars, plus 250 dollars which will be donated to the
American Cancer Society.

Contrary to popular belief the school spirit of Albany
State is alive and vibrant. Pi Lamb thanks everybody who
made the trip to Latham to represent SUNYA. Without
the help of the crowd cheering them on, they wouldn’t
have been able to consume so many hot dogs. The fact
that they weren’t UAS food substitute hot dogs helped a
little too.

An orderly line

To the Editor:

Many of us waited in line for two to three hours last
Wednesday morning, (Oct.1) for an opportunity to pur-
chase a parking space in either the Dutch or Colonial
paylots. One particular individual, known only as Brad,
was there at 4:50 a.m. (first in line) and had the great idea
of starting an informal sign-in list for each new arrival.
Thanks to his initiative, the process of determining rank
‘order of each arrival was equitable and orderly,(which
was especially important for us early arrivals).

Thanks also to the Public Safety Officer who maintain-

ed order through the use of this list when the traffic divi-
sion doors finally opened at 8 a.m. Last, but not least,
thanks to the employees of the Traffic Division Office for
maintaining a high level of professionalism and courtesy
through what was undoubtedly a hectic morning.

— Glenn H. Inghram

Consider the public

To the Editor:

First of all, I am glad to see that students are interested
in events such as Robin Tyler’s performance, and of
course, it is regrettable that you (and assumedly a number
of others) missed it due to the Jewish holiday. It is not the
subject of your letter I object to, but the tone found in it.
I think perhaps you should step back and reexamine your
attitude.

Admittedly, it was impolite and simply wrong for
Elword Prods. and Ms. Post to deal with you in the man-
ner you described, but the assumption that this is Anti-
Semitism seems quite paranoiac to me.

«|. . Oppressive and exclusionary nature. . .”"? I
think you should realize that a public event is just that.
Public. And the interests of one group in particular can-
not be considered over others, regardless of the reasons
for the conflict. I’m sure that the date was chosen without
intending to inconvenience anyone, Page Hall is used
often by various groups, and I also assume Ms. Tyler has
a hefty schedule to consider.

The world (a very wide place) is continually turning,
ladies, and perhaps it’s time you realized that it revolves
with you, not around you.

ACIA cries foul

To the Editor:

On Sept. 16, ACIA held a softball captain’s meeting.
During that meeting I introduced the commissioners of
softball for the season, Howie Elman and Rob Stern. I
also stated as did they, that if there were any problems to
call one of them. That is why we post their phone
numbers at the meeting and on our info board. I really
don’t remember saying anything about calling Campus
Center Information. If in the next three weeks the com-
missioners don’t schedule you for any games
(hypothetically of course!) who are you going to call to
ask why? That’s right, Howie or Rob. See how easy!

By the way, thanks for complimenting our info board
across from Campus Center Information. Did you know
that on that board there are everyone in ACIA’s phone
number? You did? Well then, if you (or anyone else) have
anymore problems with ACIA you can call me and we
can talk about your team, our policies and what I think
ACIA should do with your 30 big ones. If I’m not home
then don’t panic — I repeat, do not panic. This is what
you do: Come to our Council meetings on Thursday
nights at 6:30 p.m. in CC370. I think you tried to do this
already but you got caught up in that “‘maze’’ again, got
lost in the Campus Center, and somehow found the ASP
instead of our Council meeting. When you get off the
third floor on Thursday make a left (to 370) or ask
somebody with a clue!

Guilty before trial

To the Editor:

I was very pleased to read about the questionable con-
duct of the SUNY Albany judicial system.(Student fights
Univ. hearing process, Oct. 7, 1986) However, I think the
article missed the point I was trying to make.

First, I am not disputing the authority of the University
to make ‘‘any room reassignments it deems necessary.” It
is the fact that I was originally banned from State Quad
for the Spring 1986 semester without any charges or hear-
ings that I requested that I am questioning their conduct.

According to the University’s student guidelines,
students may be restricted from the residence
quadrangles, but only after being charged and afforded a
hearing. I was banned and then not given a chance to de-
fend myself.

Secondly, my equating the hearing I ultimately received
with a ‘‘kangaroo court’? was due to the University’s
“‘packing”’? the hearing. Only myself and my former
girlfriend had testimony relevant to the charges, yet two
RAs, a dorm director, an area coordinator, and an assis-
tant director for judicial services appeared for the pro-
secution. The prosecution was afforded 90 minutes of
uninterrupted time, and my defense was limited to 20
minutes, and I was repeatedly interrupted.

The implications of these actions should be enough to
scare every student at SUNYA. Just think about it for a
moment. On the basis of a mere allegation, the University
can restrict your right to be present on any part of the
campus they ‘‘deem necessary’’, stop your participation
in extracurricular activities, and damage your character.
But then you all know the old saying, “‘Guilty until pro-

ven innocent. — Frank Shamenek

Cornell students rally following campus rape

Ithaca, NY
(AP) About 100 Cornell Universi-
ty students, angered by a string of
attacks in Ithaca, held a rally and
march to condemn sexual assault.
The rally, held two weeks ago
and organized by several women,
came in the wake of the rape of a
Cornell student and several
burglaries and assaults. Tom-
pkins Country officials said that a
reported rape at Ithaca College
was a hoax.

“The only way we’re going to
lick this sucker is to stick together
and fight from the heart,”’ said
Cassandra George, volunteer
coordinator of the Ithaca Rape
Crisis Center, speaking to the
crowd at the rally. ‘*You should
all be good and angry this is
happening.”

After George spoke, the
women carried protest signs
across campus, past sites of recent
crimes.

Nationwide SAT score average levels off at 906

Frosh end 5 years of increased SAT scores

New York
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Average Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) scores of this year’s college
frosh were about the same as last
year’s frosh, halting a series of in-
creases dating back to 1980.

Various college officials,
though, say the levelling off of
scores probably doesn’t mean
much in the way of students’
skills.

Last month, in its annual
report of student performance on
the tests, the College Board said
college-bound seniors’ average
combined score was 906: 431 on
the verbal portion of the test and
475 on the mathematics portion.

The college-bound seniors of
1985 — who are college
sophomores this year — had the
same average test scores.

Their average scores, however,
were a significant jump over the
1984 average combined scores of
897.

The College Board and Educa-
tional Testing Services — which
administers the tests for the board

— score the SATs on a scale of
200 to 800, with 1,600 being the
perfect combined score.

Various observers and
educators in 1985 attributed the
jumps to everything from the
cessation of atmospheric nuclear
testing to test-takers’ dwindling
family sizes to the school reform
movement.

Few are ready to say what this
year’s levelling off might mean,
though.

“We are not testing the same
group [each year],”’said Elnor
Pepper, a spokeswoman for the
West Virginia Superintendent’s
Office.

“Some years of classes are just
better than others, ”’she said. ‘It’s
not a scientific reason, but a good
explanation.”

In West Virginia, SAT scores
are down 11 points, but only
seven percent of college-bound
seniors there took the test. Half,
however, took the American Col-
lege Test (ACT), and those scores
increased this year,’’Pepper said.

In Washington state, testing
Director Dr. Alfred Rapf said he

thinks average SAT scores fell 10
points this year because 13 per-
cent more students took the test.

“The drop] had nothing to do
with the quality of our pro-
grams,’’Rapf said. ‘‘The size of
the group is just bigger. The test
takers were once more of an elite
group.”

Rapf said he does not know if
he is pleased or troubled by the
national increase in SAT scores
and its levelling off this year.

Nevertheless, Rapf said he
thinks the general improvement in
test scores during the decade
“does reflect a national focus on
better education.”

The scores, he said, probably
reflect a ‘‘positive’’ high school
emphasis on academic subjects,
“But if a student is taking algebra
when he should be taking typing,
that’s hurting him.’’

“7 have mixed feelings, and
they’re strong both ways. I Don’t

know. I really don’t know.” 0)

a jail,”’ Albert said, ‘‘this would
be called cruel and unusual
punishment.’’

All the candidates agreed that
both the grouper law and the
dorm tenants’ rights issues would
require major revisions in state
laws involving the entire state
legislature. The candidates invited
further discussion of the matter at
their respective offices.

Some students, many of whom
are voting for the first time in
Albany elections, raised the ques-
tion of the student voting rights
bill. The bill, which would allow
students to vote either in Albany
or their home county, was passed
by the Assembly, but was bottled
up in the Senate Rules Commit-
tee. Connors argued in favor of
the bill, saying, ‘‘from last year’s
records, we see that students
voted responsibly. They didn’t
vote for people or positions with
which they were unfamiliar.”

said Botwinik after the forum.

“The accessibility of represen-
tatives to students is a highly
precious commodity that we will
utilize as well as effect positive
changes for students,” he said.

“Voting gives [students]
legitimacy and responsibility in
dealing with the city and state
assemblies,” said Botwinik, ad-
ding the forum served to educate
student voters about the issues.

SA President Paco Duarte end-
ed the forum by urging students
to vote in the upcoming elections.
He also reminded the candidates
how valuable and important the
SUNY system is to the black and
hispanic students.

Botwinik said he was satisfied
with the student turnout, which,
he added, was comparable to the
first forum held two years ago.

“Tt was great to see that
students care enough about their
voting privilege to come down
and become more acquainted

Communication seen as crucial to minority unity

By Mark Turner

Our academic institution is diverse.
Minority students have played a major role
in our campus life diversity. Multi-cultural
entities, when interacting together, bring
this enormous concrete structure to life. In
previous years the University has en-
countered a gap of communication within
the student body. Lack
of communication yields Beyond
a greater friction bet- The

ween well- and under- se
represented groups on Majority
campus.

The student government, if it is ta work
towards igreater unity among these diverse
groups, can only start by capitalizing into
the roots of the problems. The main source
of friction can be concluded to be an in-
adequate understanding, or misunderstan-

ding, of the different cultures and races
that interact in our community.

Realistically, a handful of Student
Association members would not be able to
reach effectively the individual needs of
each minority person. Yet, we could start
by reaching the leader from each SA fund-
ed minority group on campus and conse-
quently expect the network to transgress
onto others.

With this in mind the minority affairs
office seeks to get Student Association
groups to work together. I was surprised to
find that the communication between
group leaders of traditional groups and
minority groups was so poor.

Minority students shouldn’t feel like
they aren’t welcome to events programmed
for the school. Programming by any
group, e.g. University Concert Board,

Our goal this year will
be to really program
for a diverse
community.

— Mark Turner

WCDB, Speakers Forum, will involve
SA’s minority affairs office and affir-
mative action coordinator to ensure that
minority student input is recruited.
Student Association has in writing an af-
firmative action policy that seeks to get

minority students to apply . or jobs in the
contact office and front desk. This year
Student Association has hired more
minority students than ever before. Forty-
three percent of those hired for the contact
office and front desk were minority
students. This came about through the ef-
forts of many people who felt it was time
to recruit very qualified minority students
who in the past would never have applied
for a job in SA.

Our goal this year will be to really pro-
gram for a diverse community to make life
here at SUNYA educationally and socially
rewarding for our community. This can
and will happen as more and more minori-
ty students get involved.

dinator for Student Association.

Trailing 21-0, the Danes were
able to hold off Southern Con-
necticut in the third quarter. The
Albany defense had a key sack
and fumble recoveries.

“We didn’t do too well in the
third quarter,” said Cavanaugh.
“Our defense played very good,

The Owls landed in the end

fouth quarter. After Strong safety
Dave Hendley intercepted
Ryder’s pass in Albany territory,
Southern Connecticut gave the
ball to Clancy, who rushed for

His 25-yard run brought them to

For the Danes, mistakes were a
key to their loss with 8 turnovers.

“They were a good football
team,”’ said Ford. ‘‘They played
well. We had 8 turnovers. You
can’t do that and expect to win.
We have to attain consistency to

cards were heavily stacked against
them.

The unfortunate thing for
Albany is that this is their last
year of involvement in the
SUNYACs. They had some
newcomers to the tournament this
year who would love the oppor-
tunity to come back next year and
start a new winning streak.

With the SUNYACs con-
cluding the Danes fall schedule,
they are left looking foward to the
spring season. The outcome of
this tournament should not
discourage them but instead leave
them in a very optimistic and
positive mood for the spring.

The third place finish for
Albany in the SUNYACs will
therefore be looked upon more as

formance.

“‘They’re starting three

Pat Ryder at quarterback, since
Jeff Russell’s thumb has not yet
completely healed. Additionally,
running backs Mitchell and Pete

last weekend against Southern
Connecticut, are questionable.

“Finally,’’ concluded Ford,

Dane harriers hope for twin killing at SUNYACs

Men look to regain lost crown

By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State men’s cross country
team will attempt to win the team’s last
SUNY championship on their home course
tomorrow.

The Danes are hoping for a repeat of the
1984 SUNYACs where a tight Albany
pack placed six runners in the top twenty
en route to victory.

Cortland has other plans. The defending
SUNY champions have looked strong this
year. At the Lemoyne Invitational two
weeks ago, they defeated Albany by 35
points and must be considered the pre-race
favorite.

Cortland’s Peter Gordon, who finished
second in that coimpetitive field at Le-
moyne, figures to be amongst the top in-
dividual runners. Dave Nettleton and Vin-
cent O’Brien are other Cortland standouts.

The Danes are coming off their best race
of the season in which they defeated
Binghamton 20-43 and Oneonta 15-50. In
this race, several Danes had vast time im-
provements, with a majority of the team
running personal bests.

The time spread was phenomenal. 22
seconds separated the top five Albany run-
ners while a scant 33 seconds split the top
seven.

Albany will be led by the one-two punch
of Tim Hoff and Craig Parlato. These
seniors are the only runners remaining
from the 1984 championship team.

Hoffe, a co-captain, felt it was hard to
compare that team to this year’s. He
said,‘‘This team is a lot younger so we’re
still getting used to running with one
another but both teams had a lot of talent.
If we get out the way we should we’ll be
tough to beat.”’

Hoff has been the lone consistent front
runner for the Danes. His best races thus
far have been in the two major invita-

tionals, Williams and Lemoyne. Albany
head coach Roberto Vives said of
Hoff,‘‘Though he has been our
most reliable runner this year, he hasn’t
had one ‘super’ race. I think this may be
it

Parlato, after a slow start, has come
through in the last two meets. He was the
Danes number one runner last meet with a
personal best time of 26:32 and is beginn-
ing to show the form that earned him an
individual berth to the national last year.

Senior co-captain Jack Glaser should
also be in the top pack. He has been runn-
ing well of late. Glaser ran a personal best
time of 26:54 last meet after running a
hard first mile.

Junior Tom Schoenig, after various in-
juries had slowed him down, ran a per-
sonal best time of 26:37 last meet. This
broke his seasonal best by over a minute.

Junior Pat Paul also has the ability to
breakthrough at the SUNY meet. He has
the fastest time of any current Dane runner
on the home course with a time of 26:16.

However, that should not be a disadvan-
tage for the Danes. Mark Allman, Pat
Kavanaugh, Dave Spencer, Steve Collins
and Scott McNamara have all contributed
to the varsity and have run with the leaders
in at least one race.

Coach Vives feels that the first mile will
be a key to the race. ‘‘We went out hard
last meet and as a result, had our best race
of the season,”’Vives explained. ‘I think
we’re going to have to get out even a little
harder on Saturday.”

He added, “‘If everything goes right for
us we’ll be tough to beat.
Fredonia is another team that cannot be
taken lightly.
Race time is slated for 12:00 at the varsi-
ty soccer field. Oo

Women take fifth area title

STAFF WRITER

As the Albany State women’s cross
country team comes off their fifth con-
secutive win in the Capital District Cham-
pionship, they are looking ahead to their
final opportunity to win the SUNYAC
title.

Last Friday the Danes won the Capital

Union came in fourth with a final total

Dane netwomen seek SUNYAC title

Desperately needing a win to keep their
hopes of a state tournament invitation
alive, the Albany State women’s tennis
team survived a mild RPI upset by
defeating the Engineers 6-3 last week. The
Danes closed out their regular season on
Tuesday with an 8-1 loss to Amherst, the
third ranked division III team in the east.

The surprising upset loss of Geri Chiodo
at first singles made matters a bit more in-
teresting against RPI than Albany Coach
Linda Myers would have liked, but the
match was never really in doubt as the
Danes were handily winning the number of
matches they needed to clinch the match.
The eight game pro-set format of the
match, which was used due to time con-
straints, is much shorter and thus favors
the underdog, as in Chiodo’s match.

Said Myers of Chiodo’s loss: ‘‘Give the
{RPI girl credit, she really improved since
last year. Geri never got into a groove until
the fifth game, and with the pro-set format
we used she just didn’t have enough time
to get back in the match. Also, she suf-
fered an injury, which didn’t help mat-
ters.’’ The injury is not serious and Chiodo
will be healthy for this weekend’s
SUNYAC tournament.

Whatever harmful effect Chiodo’s loss
against RPI may have had on her con-
fidence going into post-season play was
remedied Tuesday as the senior from Lar-
chmont pulled a major upset of her own.
She downed the first singles player from
Amherst in a 10 game pro-set, which
Myers thinks is a big plus for Chiodo going
into the SUNYACs.

“Geri just played a great match. She ran
everything down, she made virtually no er-
rors. There’s quite a difference between
losing to the first player from RPI and
beating the first player from Amherst,”
said the second year coach.

Although Chiodo got the only win for
Albany, she was far from being the only
Dane to gain confidence from a solid per-
formance. Caryn Levy, Liz Feinberg, and
freshman Laurie Wilk were all praised by
Myers for giving strong performances.
Against a first class program such as
Amherst, whose victory over Albany was
their 21st straight, the final score means
little.

Now that the Danes have mercifully
completed their tour of the private
schools, the team is hoping that their
tough scheduling will pay off in Buffalo
this weekend. The Danes enter the
SUNYACSs as the defending champions,
but not as the favorites.

That distinction goes to arch-rival

ww

Defending champion Liz Feinberg

Binghamton, who earlier this year thrash-
ed the Danes in Albany. The Colonials are
led by former SUNYAC first singles cham-
pion and four year starter Bonnie Laudell.
Barring an upset in the early rounds, the
first singles final should come down to
Laudell and Chiodo. Chiodo has never
beaten Laudell and this may be the final
confrontation for the two seniors.

Just as a Chiodo victory over Laudell
would be somewhat of a bonus, a final
round victory for Levy is a necessity at se-
cond singles if the Danes are to entertain
any thoughts of a SUNYAC victory.

“1’m looking for Levy to go all the way
to the final and hopefully win it,” said
Myers. ‘‘She reached the final last year as
a freshman and she may be ready to take it
this year.’”

It would also be fitting if Liz Feinberg
could come through at third singles.
Feinberg has had a remarkably steady
career at Albany and Myers evaluated her
chances at the SUNYACs.

“Liz was our only player to win their
category last year. Even though she did it
at fourth singles she’s responded well this
year at third. I fully expect her to reach the
final.”

Freshman Laurie Wilk is a strong bet,
according to Myers, to cap her fine season
by winning her whole sixth singles
division.

“There’s no reason why Laurie can’t
win sixth singles. She’s only lost to private
school opponents, and she’s gotten better
by playing them. If anyone can win her
division for us, it’s Laurie,” said the
coach.

With last week’s RPI victory, a strong
showing this week could land Albany in
the Division III New York State Tourney
next weekend, which includes the top
schools in New York, public and private.

Williams. Coming in next for Albany was
sophomore Barbara Ascher. Williams had
a time of 16:29 and Ascher had a time of
16:40.

“Tt was great, we were all really psych-
ed,” said Ascher about the meet. “Six of
us beat the second Siena girl and we have
never done that before.’’

Senior Laurel Sutcliff came in third for
Albany with a time of 16:49. Rachel
Braslow, one of the Danes’ consistent
scorers, came in fourth for the Danes with
a time of 16:53. Braslow’s time was a per-
sonal best for her on this course.

Sophomore Mary Webster came in fifth
for Albany with a time of 16:58.

Coach White feels that this meet was
their most impressive of the season. The
Danes faced Siena on two other occasions
during their-season and defeated Siena by
just nine points, but Friday defeated the
Indians by an impressive twenty-nine
points.

Now that Albany has abandoned the
SUNYAC for scheduling flexibility, the
women’s cross country team is entering
their final SUNYAC competition. There
are twelve SUNY schools competing in
Saturday’s event to be held at Albany.

Even with the home advantage, the
Danes have extremely tough competition
from SUNY Cortland and SUNY
Geneseo.

“‘We work well together and that makes
us successful,’ said White. “If we put ina
team effort we should be real solid.”’

Mary Ryan from Geneseo and Jennifer
Pyne from Cortland are the standout run-
ners heading into the SUNYACs. Ellen
Kissane was also cited as a prospective
standout runner for this meet.

Other competition comes from
Binghamton, Brockport, Buffalo State,
the University at Buffalo, Fredonia, New
Paltz, Oneonta and Oswego. a)

Southern Connecticut fullback Bill
Clancy struck immediately for the Owls
with a 45-yard run that set up a Paul Ric-
cio 10-yard touchdown, stunning the
Danes in the opening 47 seconds on
Saturday.

Albany State was in for a long day, so it
seemed.

On the Danes’ first possession, a 5-yard
penalty for delay of game started them off
with a first and 10 on their own 24.
Freshman fullback Pete Pedro ran up the
middle for a meager 2-yard gain. On the
next play quarterback Mark Miller, star-
ting in place of an injured Jeff Russell,
threw an incomplete pass and followed
that with his own 3-yard run. Albany,
unable to get past their own 29, punted on
fourth down.

The Owls on their second possession
again put the ball in the end zone, just not
as quickly this time. Halfback Glen Kim-
brough carried the ball four times and
gained 20 yards before freshman quarter-
back Dennis Wade ran it himself for 15
yards. A 20-yard run by Clancy again set
up a Riccio touchdown run, this one from
six yards out.

Indeed, the Danes had a very long day
ahead of them.

And by the end of that long day Division
II Southern Connecticut scored 28 straight
points before Albany scored on a safety in
the final minutes of the game, making it a
28-2 loss instead of a shut out.

“They scored very easily, on a two play
drive right off,’’ said Albany head coach
Bob Ford. ‘‘They hammered us.’’

Albany’s most promising opportunity to
reduce the Owls’ 14-0 lead came when
Ford replaced Miller with freshman Pat
Ryder.

“T wanted to get both of them in early in

the ball game,’’ said Ford. ‘‘We are

scrambling at the quarterback position.
We need to find out who will lead us to vic-
tory not only this year, but down the
line.”

The 6-3 200-pound freshman led a 10
play drive that put the Danes on the
Southern Connecticut 8. The drive was
highlighted by Ryder completing two
passes to split-end Glen Carlin, of 12 and
10 yards. Halfback Ro Mitchell made two
runs up the middle for 9 and 13 yards.

Talent-laden

But the Danes, within striking distance,
couldn’t pull it off. Fullback Ken Gatto
carried Albany 2 yards closer setting up a
second down on the Owls’ 6. Ryder threw
incomplete to Caesar Revano and then was
sacked for a seven yard loss. He had been
sacked twice prior to that by Southern
Connecticut’s defensive tackle, senior
Scott Mersereau.

Buffalo ends

Great Dane SUNYAC reign

By Steve Wortman

Even though you may try your hardest
and play very competitively you still may
end up on the short end. This is what hap-
pened to the Albany State men’s tennis
team as they were deterred from winning
their eighth consecutive SUNYAC cham-
pionships in Buffalo last weekend.

The talented team of the University of
Buffalo proved to be too tough this year as
they accumulated a total of 22 points.
SUNY Binghamton finished a close second
with 19 points while the Danes came in
third place with 11 points. Oneonta finish-
ed with 7, Fredonia had 5 and a half,
Oswego 3 and a half, and Buffalo State
and Plattsburg rounded out the totals with
3 points and 1 point, respectively.

These point totals are very misleading as
far as Albany is concerned. They lost some
very tough matches and with a little luck
could have finished higher up in the stan-
dings. Coach Bob Lewis stated, “I’m
disappointed with the outcome, but I’m
not discouraged.”” He added, ‘‘When
you’re up against better players there is not
a whole lot you can do.””

Two of Albany’s players, Larry
Rosenbloom and Tom Roe, had an
outstanding tournament. Rosenbloom, a
freshman, moved up to number three
singles in place of the injured Mike Worth.
He lost 6-4, 7-5 to the eventual winner, Ed
Wagner of U.B.

Tom Roe, a junior, playing in his first

SUNYACS reached the semi-finals at fifth
singles before losing to Joe Alfano of
Binghamton 6-3, 6-7, 7-6. Roe was not
discouraged by the way the team perform-
ed. He said, ‘we didn’t play that bad. We
would have liked to have disappointed the
favorites.”

Some of these favorites held up to their
billing. Ken White of U.B. had no trouble
capturing the first singles division with a
6-4, 6-1 victory over Rob Grundfast of
Binghamton in the finals. White’s doubles
partner, Dan Schulefand had a little
tougher time as he beat John Dunnigan of
Binghamton 7-6, 6-2 to win the second
singles crown.

Albany’s Dave Zobler had a very good
tournament losing to Dunnigan 6-4 in the
third set of the semi-finals.

As for doubles competition, Albany put
up a good fight, but just didn’t have
enough to win a division. U.B.’s White
and Schuleford defeated the Dane’s pair of
Tom Roe and Marc Singer 6-1, 6-4 in the
finals at first doubles.

The second doubles team of Dave
Zobler and Steve Greenberg reached the
semis before losing 6-4, 6-4 to Bingham-
ton’s team of Mark Birnbaum and Gary
Meltzer.

Greenberg, a junior, felt that this tour-
mament was a very frustrating one. He
said, ‘‘I think the team went in with a very
positive attitude. A lot of the matches

Albany looks to

turn it around
this Saturday

By Cathy Errig
|STAFF WRITER

The Great Danes need to slay the Cor-
tland Red Dragons tomorrow.

The necessity isn’t present merel
because the Dragons kept Albany from}
the NCAAs last season when they hand-|
ed the Danes a 21-16 defeat.

“I don’t like the term ‘revenge’,’’ said|
Albany Head Coach Bob Ford. ‘‘We just|
try to play the game the best we can, and
don’t worry too much about who our op-
ponent is.”’

Yet tomorrow’s game against Cortland)
does hold a high amount of significance}
for Albany.

“Its a critical game,”’ said Ford,
whose team is hoping to snap a two-game’
losing streak. ‘‘We’re 2-3 at this point.
We need to win now. We’ve got to start
building momentum.’

“We've been self-destructive this
season,’’ Ford continued. ‘‘We had eight
turnovers against Southern Connecticut
last week, eleven against Springfield, and
you can’t play good football teams and!
self-destruct. Our defensive unit, offen-
sive unit and kicking units have all played
well at times, but we need more con-|
sistency. We’ve got to be solid across the
board. Except for maybe one quarter
against Brockport and some time against
RPI we’ve never had everything all come:
together.””

Albany’s opponent, on the other hand,
thinks it has.

Though only 1-4 at this point, Cor-
tland Head Coach Dennis Kayser,
formerly the Dane outside linebacker
coach, believes that his team, which
defeated Brockport last week by a 21-16
score, got their act together last week
against the Golden Eagles.

“‘Last week was our best game,” said
Kayser. ‘‘We had a lot of games before it
that were similar, but this time, over the
hump we came out on top. It wasn’t
unlike our other games, but this time we
came out on top in a close game.”

Kayser attributes his team’s turn-
around to the fact that his relatively
young athletes are playing more as a
single unit than was the case earlier in the|
season.

“Of their two units, they’re slightly
better offensively,’ said Ford. “That
means we have got to move the ball and
score. We haven’t scored in two weeks.””

According to Dane Corner-back
Coach Ray Priore, Albany will be most
looking to contain Cortland’s quarter-
back, 6’3”" 215 Ib. Rich Keefer. and
sophomore running-back Gareth
Grayson.

“‘He’s a hard runner,” said Priore of
Grayson. ‘‘He’s very similar to Ro
Mitchell.”

Additionally, Albany will have to stop
tailback Todd Hobin, a 5’9’’ 185 Ib.
senior, who was responsible for one of}
the two successful long plays run by Cor-
tland last season’ that resulted in their
defeating Albany.

“Their offense is their stronger unit,”’
said Priore. ‘‘But it’s nothing that we
haven’t seen before. We just have to play
to our defensive potential.”

In order to play to their offensive
potential, the Danes will have to over-
come Cortland safety Tom Addy, and
outside linebacker Jim Dooley. The two,
a junior and senior respectively, repre-
sent the experience in the unit. The ma-
jority, however, as pointed out by Dane
