Albany activists make the grade
By SHARON DRUCK
Co-News Editor
UAlbany’s reputation as a
party school was slightly chal-
lenged this month when it was
named one of the ten most active
college campuses in North Amer-
ica by Mother Jones magazine.
The list of the most active cam-
puses has been published in the
magazine since 1993, and listed
UAlbany as #10 on a list that
included such schools as the Uni-
versity of Michigan, University
of California at Berkeley and
Ohio State.
According to the article in
Mother Jones, UAlbany made
the list after a year of student
protests led to the school’s can-
cellation of its dining contract
with Sodexho-Marriot. “The
students denounced the compa-
ny’s health and labor records, as
well as its parent company’s »
involvement with for-profit pris-
ons. The events there energized
similar campaigns against
Sodexho at 30 colleges nation-
wide,” the article said. Thee
list, which began as a sidebar to
an excerpt printed in Mother
Jones from a book about student
activism, is assembled through
extensive research and discus-
sion with activist groups around
the country. “It’s not a point
system,” explained Richard
Reynolds, the communications
director for Mother Jones.
Rankings are determined through
a careful study of the size and
effectiveness of the tactics used
by the student groups. “[UAI-
bany’s] action had become a
model,” said Reynolds, which
led to the school’s eventual nam-
ing to the list.
“It’s great news,” exclaimed
David Viale, Co-Project Coordi-
nator for NYPIRG, a group com-
mitted to getting students
involved in causes. “Student
apathy is not true at all,” he said.
“There are 100,000 members of
NYPIRG and 20 chapters at col-
leges in the state.” Viale stated
that UAlbany really works with
the groups to allow them time to
interact with the students by
allowing them time to set up
tables in the Campus Center and
use academic spaces (like the lec-
ture centers) for meetings.
Co-Project Organizer, Aisling
Mulhern, agreed. “There are a lot
of groups on this campus. There
are sO many diverse groups rep-
‘resenting so many issues that lots
of people can get involved.”
A new chapter in UAlbany dining
By EmiLy Katt
Staff Writer
Chartwells was appointed
UAlbany’s new food service
provider by the University Auxil-
iary Services (UAS) this summer.
Chartwells currently provides
food service to 225 colleges and
universities. They will be respon-
sible for all dining halls, retail
operations, catering and conces-
sions for students, and the New
York Giants Training Camp.
The decision to replace
Sodexho-Marriott was made fol-
lowing a series of health and
safety issues during the 1999-
2000 academic year. Among
these issues were failures to pass
health inspections and a breakout
of E. Coli in the Indian Quad din- .
ing hall.
A unanimous recommenda-
tion for Chartwells was made to
the UAS Board of Directors’
Executive Committee by UAI-
bany’s Food Service Selection
Committee. The selection com-
mittee’s recommendation was
made following a thorough bid-
process including pre-proposal
conferences with all interested
vendors and detailed proposal
submissions. The selection com-
mittee’s de“cision was concur-
rently upheld by the UAS Execu-
tive Committee.
Changes in services have
been made with the switch in
providers. Some are evident to
students, such as new hours.
Index
Other changes include higher pay
for employees and the employ-
ees’ right to unionize under Local
471. Steve Ross, a supervisor in
the Dutch Quad Dining Hall,
pointed out Chartwells’ concern
for employee happiness. He said
they realize they need the work-
ers to be happy to survive. “It is
like in football, without the
offensive line there is no running
back. [They] are our offensive
line. Without them we are noth-
”
ing.
The hour changes included
eliminating hot breakfast on
Colonial and Indian Quads.
However, students can now use
their meal plans to get breakfast
from Capital Cafe from 7:30 to
10:30 a.m. Monday through Fri-
day.
Chartwells has also devel-
oped new sanitation guidelines
and a new sanitation-cleaning
schedule. As a further attempt to
assure sanitation in UAlbany’s
food service, UAS has hired an
independent inspector, John
Morrell, who will conduct unan-
nounced safety audits of
Chartwells’ operations.
“Chartwells and UAS want
to assure that the University’s
dining services meet the highest
standards,” said UAS Executive
Director Julia Fillipone. Fil
lipone also pointed out UAS’s
plan to fill a new position, food
director, who will be responsible
for overseeing the entire food
service program.
on the Quality of Food Service, —
headed by Political Science Pro-
fessor Bruce Miroff, has been
working over the past few
months, defining important qual-
ities of campus food service.
Among the highest priorities on
their list are good quality food
and high food safety standards.
Chartwells’ resident district
manager for UAlbany Paul
Krouse said, “We have met with
the task force and used their rec-
ommendations in designing our
program. We have spent a lot of
time on employee training to
assure proper food handling and
preparation procedures. We are
looking at all the important
basics, such as the food quality,
the menu variety and the cleanli-
ness of the silverware.” Krouse
brings 25 years of experience in
campus dining to his new posi-
tion at the University.
Krouse also says _ that
Chartwells is seeking continuous
feedback from students faculty
and staff through the use of com-
ment cards placed at nearly every
food service location.
Leonardo, one of the chefs in
the Dutch Quad Dining Hall said,
“The staff here is great.” He also
said they need more employees.
Chartwells is always looking for
more help in their dining facili-
ties, says Ross. The company is
trying to avoid hiring temporary
workers. They want the students
to have familiar faces in ‘their
dining halls.
Outrage and outrageous behavior in
Central Council
By STEPHANIE COYLE
Co-News Editor
| by the Central Council.
Threats of violence,
impeachment, and general hostil-
ity disrupted the Central Council
meeting Wednesday night. The
first bill introduced by the Com-
mittee of Internal Affairs
demanded Student Association
(SA) Vice President Samuel
“Skippy” Goldberger appoint
permanent directors to SA posi-
tions or face impeachment inves-
tigations. The bill gave Gold-
berger one hour to forward a list
to the committee. ;
Goldberger immediately
refused, calling the appointment
process a “complete and _ total
farce.” He alleged that the most
qualified applicants for the direc-
tors were ignored because Presi-
dent Erin McCampbell was play-
ing favorites. He proposed that
the application pools ~ be
reopened to “ensure that the right
people have the right job.”
Goldberger’s neglect of
duties as VP was cited as the
basis and instigation of the bill.
As VP, Goldberger was to
appoint the executive board
directors of SA. Goldberger
failed to do so and consequently,
interim directors were appointed
These
temporary directors filled the
positions of the executive board
all through the summer months
and the beginning of this acade-
mic year.
Immediately following the
election of McCampbell and
Goldberger, application pools
were opened to all students for
the executive board positions.
The VP and McCampbell were to
interview at least two-thirds of
the applicants. The best of these
applicants were to be referred to
the Internal Affairs Committee
by the president and vice presi-
dent. After an interview process
posed by IAC, the best of these
applicants were to receive refer-
rals from the IAC to Central
Council. Central Council would
appoint the appropriate individu-
als to the directoral positions on
the SA Executive Board. Gold-
berger alleged that this did not
happen this year. He claims that
IAC only saw the people Presi-
dent McCampbell wanted them
to see.
Questioned as to why VP
McCampbell’s alleged dishon-
esty and favoritism, he replied
that he was “a naive freshman,”
and that “I was wrong.” More
name-calling, conjection and cir-
cuitous talk followed and includ-
ed a violent verbal altercation
between Central Council mem-
bers Mike McGovern and Favian
Leon-Vasquez. All culminated in
VP Goldberger’s declaration of
his resignation of office. “Both
Ms. McCampbell and myself
were wrong... I don’t deserve to
be in office,” Goldberger said.
‘ Bill 0001-14R had the inter-
im directors as its greatest oppo-
nents. These individuals includ-
ed Anne Lindner, Ralph Duran,
Noel Roman, Karen Ekenstierna,
Nicholas LoVuolo, Tiana Nichol-
son and Dana Bertisch. Most of
the interim directors boisterously
objected to the proposal of
reopening the application pools.
Lindner served as SA Edu-
cational Affairs Interim Director
and declared that she had no pre-
vious “loyalties to either
McCampbell or Goldberger.”
She went on to say that all the
bureaucratic difficulties preying
on SA “puts activities on hold”
and is a “disservice to the stu-
dents.” These conflicts within
SA are based on reasons that are
both “petty and selfish,” Lindner
said.
The elements of petty and
selfishness resurfaced when
Goldberger was accused of mere-
ly reacting to the failure of Cen-
tral Council to appoint his friend
and fraternity brother to the posi-
tion of SA Media Director. The
position was given to Nicholas
LoVoulo. Apparently there is a
recent history surrounding this
conflict. At a Central Council
meeting held July 30, 2000
McCampbell and Goldberger
introduced Bill 0001-007 that
stated there should be two SA
Media Directors appointed. This
bill was designed to quell the dis-
agreement as to who the officers
were to appoint. The bill failed
because it was felt that it was too
vague and merely created for this
specific case.
Emotions and tempers raised
as the interim directors made
their pleas for permanent posi-
tions. The meeting climaxed
with a violently verbal alterca-
tion between Nicholas LoVoulo
and, again, Mike McGovern.

Leonardo also commented
on the quality of food. Through
Sodexho-Marriott the food was
pre-made and heated when need-
ed. With Chartwells, however,
the food is made fresh each day.
In a July 13, 2000 open letter
to the University community,
Vice President for Student
Affairs, James P. Doellefeld
writes, “Albany students deserve
the best when it comes to food in
our dining halls, and Chartwells’
national record of accomplish-
ment and bid demonstration to

strated the. company’s ability to
deliver a high-quality food ser-
vice program.... We look forward
to a successful partnership with
Chartwells as we move forward
to improve the quality of food
service for the entire University
community.”

Although the conflict was
initiated by LoVoulo, McGovern
escalated the situation with a
threat of physical violence. With
dignity, LoVoulo apologized to
the council and voluntarily left
the room. McGovern refused to
leave when asked by Central
Council Chairman Jeremy
Beroza. The University Police
Department was called and a
break in the meeting was issued.
After the break, it was voted by
Central Council that McGovern
would leave the room.
Andrew Hartman motioned
to impeach President
McCampbell. It was voted that
impeachment of McCampbell
would be left up to the IAC.
“Let's. all do what's= right,”
Hartman pronounced.
McCampbell’s and
Goldberger’s motives for direc-
toral appointment are unknown.
What is obvious, as per the con-
duct of the Central Council and
SA members as well as the disor-
der of the meeting, is that SA is

Concrete Blonde
New Bible from the blonde
By DOREE LEWAK
Staff Columnist
I realize that you frosh won’t take
heed of my warnings, you won’t accept my
advice, and you definitely won’t lay off
Skippy. When you do ripen into the
smooth and sophisticated despot known as
“the senior,” however, you too will learn to
appreciate these pearls of wisdom I wish
someone imparted to me when I was one
big walking fashion and social faux pas
just three short years ago. I have prepared
an admittedly rudimentary checklist. At
the very least, these are the basics with
which you can and should comport your-
selves. No more are you in your little safe
zones. You have crossed the Long Island
and Westchester county lines into our terri-
tory. From just a few months ago when
you were kings of the hill, the tables have
quickly turned; we are the predators and
you the prey. These are the mean streets -
this is your new inner city. For the next
four years, Albany will be your jungle.
After consulting with the most hard-
ened of UAlbany seniors - those who sur-
vived arrest for public urination, stom-
ached the most severe of E.Coli contami-
nation, and weathered the last three sea-
sons of Beverly Hills - make no mistake.
The following checklist should serve not
only as your guidelines, but as your Bible.
To take what we say lightly is to play
Russian roulette with what could be a ten-
uous college career.
* Hey hey, ho ho, your cheap Prada rip-off
has gotto go. ~
* Skippy is spoken for; don’t even bother.
* No really does mean no when it comes to
wearing white after Labor Day.
* Flaunting your faded Post stamp on
Monday will not help you climb that unre-
lenting UAlbany social ladder, even if the
concrete blonde does it.
* Nine times out of 10, you’ll leave the
tempted to enjoy them all night!

ties regarding safety and

As a student, your behavior
while living off campus greatly
impacts the community’s image
of all University at Albany stu-
dents. As we commence another
academic year, we strongly
encourage your to consider the
following suggestions if you
choose to host a party in an apart-
ment off campus:
* Talk to your neighbors
before the party. Let them know
you are having a party and when
it will start and end. Leave them
your name and phone number.
Encourage them to call you if
there is a problem during the
party you can correct it before
someone calls the police.
* During the party let your
guests know you are the contact
person. If a neighbor calls, they
will know to take a message or to
find you.
* Avoid overcrowding which
might: (1) block apartment exits
in case of an emergency, (2)
result in your porch or entire
apartment collapsing, (3) result
in cars blocking your street in
case fire, police, or medical units
need to respond, and (4) force
your guests to inappropriately
use “outdoor bathroom facilities”
due to inadequate facilities
inside.
* Periodically during the
night, walk outside the check the
noise level and adjust it accord-
ingly. .
* It is your responsibility to
stay in control of yourself and
your guests. Please don not let
your guest’s abuse or misuse
alcohol as excessive use of alco-
hol can lead to sexual assault,
legal problems, and even death.
* Know and observe New
York State Law in terms of your
liability in providing alcoholic
beverages to person under 21
years of age, as well as the “Open
Container Law” and the “Noise
Ordinance” in the City of Albany.
Open Container Law: It is
illegal for a person to possess an
Open container of an alcoholic
beverage in a public place. Fines
range from $150-$250 or impris-
onment up to 10-15 days.
Noise Ordinance: It pro-
hibits noise between 8:00pm and
6:00am. Fines range up to $250
and/or 15 days in jail for repeat
or serious violators.
* After the party, clean up
the area around the apartment as
well as your neighbors if needed.
Contact your neighbors the next
day and thank them for their
cooperation.
If you have a problem at
your party and need assistance,
contact the Albany Police at 911
for an emergency or 438-4000
Letters to the Editor
Some advice from local police
for a non-emergency. Also you
may call the university’s “Off
Campus Hotline” at 442-5888
and leave a message if necessary.
Regarding safety off cam-
pus, we would like to offer these
basic safety tips:
* When at all possible, don’t
walk alone at night. When it is
unavoidable, stay alert and pay
attention to your surroundings.
* Avoid dark places and be
aware of places that people can
hide.
* Walk facing traffic so you
can see approaching cars.
* Don’t go to a stranger’s
apartment, overindulge, let your
guard down, or go to places
alone.
We would also encourage
you to join the Pine Hills and
Beverwyck Neighborhood Walk
and Watch Programs if you
reside within these patrol areas.
These programs involve trained
resident volunteers walking
evenings as they eyes and ears of
the Police Department as well as
identifying “quality of Life” con-
ditions in need of attention.
Student participation in these
programs is a real demonstration
of commitment to the communi-
ty. For more information, con-
tract Officer Fred Aliberti at 458-

The Albany Police
Department also offers a variety
of crime prevention services to
the community including
“Operation Identification” and

Finally, a new city ordi-
nance effective May of 1998 now
allows Albany Police, Fire and
General Services Departmental
personnel to issue appearance
tickets to tenants for health, safe-

example, tickets to appear in
court the next day can be issued
for illegal and excessive trash,
building code violations, no more
than three unrelated
tenants/dwelling unit and over-
grown lawns. Please take the
steps necessary to keep your
property clean and free from
garbage and refuse. Know when
and how to put out your garbage

Box Office 2000 at a elance
By TimoTHy BLUM
STAFF WRITER
Summer 2000 provided the
Box Office with several action
hits this summer, with Mission:
Impossible 2 emerging as the
highest grossing film to date. The
action/drama starring Tom Cruise
has raked in over $200 million in
US ticket sales and over $500
million worldwide.
Following behind are
Russell Crowe’s Gladiator and
George Clooney’s The Perfect
Storm, each grossing roughly
$180 million apiece. X-Men, an
action/sci-fi film starring Halle
Berry and Patrick Stewart,
earned a modest $150 million to
continue the long tradition of big-
budget blockbusters that top the
box office each summer.
The comedy genre scored
Find everything you need to
know about grad school at
well this summer as well, with
Scary Movie, Nutty Professor 2:
The Klumps, and Big Momma’s
House all earning a spot in the
2000 top ten list. Other films this
summer to make the list include
Harrison Ford’s What Lies
Beneath and Disney’s Dinosaur,
both of which earned around
$140 million.
Recent successful releases
include The Cell, — starring
Jennifer Lopez, Keanu Reeves in
The Watcher, and Space
Cowboys starring many
Hollywood favorites.
Overall, ticket sales were
down significantly this summer.
Compared to 1999’s three (Star
Wars, The Sixth Sense, Austin
Powers 2), this summer’s lack-
luster performance has left a void
that will hopefully be filled by a
strong Hollywood finish in the
upcoming months.
The summer of Slipknot
By MIKE HEss
STAFF WRITER
What a bunch of friggin psy-
chopaths! I’m pretty sure I’m not
the only one who’s had this reac-
tion about the band who gained
the most exposure this summer -
Slipknot. This nine member
group of masked metal madmen
from Iowa tore up the country
this summer with the Tattoo The
Earth Tour, their biggest tour
since stealing the show at last
year’s Ozzfest. The buzz about
Slipknot has been relentless, and
there’s plenty of reason for it.
Today’s so-called hard rock
and metal scene has been flooded
with TRL wonders and media-
friendly copycats looking to burst -
into the mainstream and win the
hearts of their teenage fans.
Slipknot is the antichrist of
DOING.
MTV bands and the serial killer
of modern music - urinating on
stage, breaking each others bones
during performances and calling
their fans “Maggots” because
they’d come up from the bottom
of the earth to see them. They
have no remorse, and their music
is about total rage, aggression
and revenge. Each member
wears a haunting homemade
mask, and go by numbers 0-8,
not names, so no member ts dif-
ferent from any other. Lead
singer/screamer Corey Taylor (#
8), nicknamed “The Sickness”, is
one of the angriest guys in music
today. His lyrics, coupled with
the A-bomb force of the guitars
and drums, could make Ghandi
or Mother Teresa jump into the
mosh pit and start throwing hay-
makers. Lead drummer Joey
Jordinson (# 1) has speed unpar-
alleled by any drummer I’ ve ever
YOU'RE FOCUSED.
YOU’RE
DETERMINED.
AND YOU
HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT YOU'RE
Gathering information for grad school can be
absolutely mind-boggling. At Petersons.com, you'll
heard, killing you with his dou-
ble-bass solos and stick speed.
Human feet were never meant to
move so fast, cranking out 150-
200 beats-per-minute at certain
points. Guitarists Mick Johnson
(# 7) and James Root (# 4) don’t
lag behind, using their axes with
fast, grinding riffs.
Slipknot has built up the
most loyal fanbase in metal today
by giving listeners what they
want.- an escape from the fake
world of popular music, Their
cutthroat lyrics enrage their
“maggots”, making for some of
the most chaotic and violent con-
certs around. Declaring their
song “Surfacing” as the new
national anthem, Taylor belts out
the chorus of “F—K it all, F—k
this world, F—k everything that
you stand for! Don’t belong.
Don’t exist. Don’t give a s—t.
Don’t ever judge me!” Fans are
deeply turned on to Slipknot
because the lyrics are real, gut-
wrenching, and churn up their
emotions,
As of now, Slipknot has only
two albums out. Their first
album, “Mate. Feed. Kill.
Repeat,” is almost impossible to
find, as the old-school fans have
swiped all copies from circula-
tion. Their most recent self-titled
album has gone platinum on
RoadRunner Records. The video
for “Spit It Out” was released
about a year ago, but stations
refused to air it because it was too
disturbing.
The most recent upheaval of
their enemies came last week at
the Kerrang Awards, an awards
ceremony put on by Europe’s
biggest rock magazine. After
Slipknot drummer Shawn Crahan
(# 6) told Fred Durst of Limp
Bizkit that he wanted to gut him
_ and crap on his intestines. Later
that night Slipknot won the
award for “Best Band in the
World.” The celebration was
started by lighting their table on
fire, throwing fruit at each other
and beating each other up. Later,
a female presenter slipped. on a
slice of melon and broke her leg.
Many fans, along with the
band, are upset with Slipknot’s
success of late, as they would like
to stay more underground than
mainstream.
Whether you’re one of the
original maggots, or just some-
one who likes to take out your
anger in a legal way, Slipknot is
something to check out.

The MTV Video Music Awards:
Who won the
By KENNY HERZOG
Staff Writer .
Nothing quite rings in the
school year like MTV’s annual
celebration of themselves, known
as the Video Music Awards.
Professional necessity obligated
me to tune in. So in case you
were checking out a riveting
drama on Bravo at the time,
here’s the basic wrap-up from
what I can recall.
Carson Daly handed out alu-
minum Neil Armstrongs to acts
who no one should care about,
like N SYNC. It was their way of
saying, “thanks for letting us
decide you were cool this year
and having it work out for all of
us.”
Somewhere’ within — the
mumbo jumbo, the Wayans
brothers delivered astoundingly
unfunny standup material best
suited for a poop-joke fest in a
public school bathroom. In addi-
tion to that horror show, Lars
Ulrich of Metallica proved that
he’s a bigger ass than originally
fathomed, waxing humorous in a
skit about Napster that didn’t
exactly serve to veil his inten-
tions of soap-boxing on the sub-
booby prize?
fect,
In between, the show finally
got around to the real competi-
tion; the meat of why it pulls in
such astronomical ratings.
Battling for an implied prize of
sexual. prowess, Janet Jackson,
Christina Aguilera and Britney
Spears all performed. These were
flanked by presentations: from
fellow goddesses Jennifer Lopez,
Toni Braxton...you get the idea.
Now I’m not saying this as a crit-
icism necessarily. In fact, there is
good reason why I remember this
sequence of events in such detail.
When it comes down to it, the
only reason just about anyone
watches this three-hour farce. is
for the breast factor. The chan-
nel’s two key demographics are
the18-24 males and pre-adoles-
cent females. While the latter
might foster heavy adoration for
the Justin Timberlakes of the
world, there is an awe-struck
admiration that magnetizes them
towards pop’s princesses. For us
guys, its these” women’s satiation
of our basic hormonal urges that
keeps us glued to the set.
Ask any red-blooded male
on this campus who won video of
the year and much like myself,
they might very likely be clue-
less. However, inquire as to the
design of Ms. Aguilera’s... err...
outfit, and they’ll probably nail
down the details of every last
stitch of fabric. Undeniably, this
probably isn’t a good thing from
a societal standpoint. The only
reason it feels so evil is because
of the way MTV attempts to pre-
tend that’s not what the video
music awards are all about. They
make it seem as if the fashion
show were a footnote to the
musical honors being handed out,
when in fact it is most certainly
the other way around. If they
weren’t so cowardly and trans-
parent in their glorification of
their little festival of flesh, it
might not be quite so offensive
and it might make guys like me
feel less guilty for tuning in.
So my suggestion is to do
what the Grammies do with their
Latin music and jazz trophies.
Just give all the awards out prior
to broadcast. Then fill all three
hours with what we all want to
see and you have no shame in
exploiting. Just arrange some sort
of Miss MTV contest, with scant-
ily clad female artists flaunting
their sexuality, thinly veiling it as
some sort of display of actual
musical talent. At the conclusion,
TTrrTTrrrerereseecreeeee eee eee TE LIT
a panel of men watching at home
can vote on who had the most
voluptuous....umm...assets.
However the channel
- decides to air the program in the
future, we can always be certain
- of two things. A bunch of unde-
serving flash in the pans will
occasionally interrupt a shame-
less parade of celebrity skin.
«BERS E RS
Even more assured is that we will
all watch. The most that thou-
sands of young men with their
pants around their ankles can
hope for, then, is that they’ll have
Mariah Carey present directly
after a riveting performance from
Ms. Spears.

Football crushed
in Opener
By KEVIN GROSSMAN
Staff Writer
Last Saturday, the Great
Danes matched up against a
superior team in the Northeastern
Huskies. The Huskies, who come
from a full scholarship confer-
ence, are residents of the mid-
major Atlantic-10 conference.
ALbany was obviously over-
matched in the competition.
On top of this giant disparity,
the team is also starting a new
quarterback as Michael Oliva
and Eric Williams graduated last
year. This formula of mismatches
and inexperience led to Albany’s
defeat at the hands of
Northeastern in their season
opener, 63-14.
Tim Gale rushed for three
first-quarter touchdowns and
quarterback Logan Galli passed
for two touchdowns in the first
half for a 49-0 halftime lead.
The. Huskies dominated the
Danes on both sides of the ball.
Northeastern opened the game
with 56 unanswered points
against the Danes .before junior
tailback Brian Manigault ran for
a 53-yard touchdown early in the
third quarter. The other Albany
score came early in the fourth
quarter when tailback Tex Wilson
scored from 4 yards out.
Sophomore quarterback
Ryan Roeder was clearly mis-
matched in his first contest as a
starter for the Danes. Roeder
completed 9 of 16 passes for 40
yards. However, Coach Bob Ford
said that Saturday’s game was a
“giant step up” for the Danes and
-especially for Roeder.
“Ryan Roeder is a proud
individual, and will use this game
as a building experience for the
season,” said Coach Ford.
Northeastern (2-0) was able
to hold on to the ball for nearly
37 minutes, which was a major
factor in the ballgame. Albany
also committed five turnovers,

Ben Kelcey and the rest of the
Danes look to avenge last year’s
one point defeat against Rowan.
which Is a sure avenue for defeat.
Josh Bazan led the defense
with I1 tackles and two sacks in
his first start in an Albany uni-
form. The Danes had 15 first time
starters in the game.
The Danes’ next contest is
Saturday at Rowan (1-0) for a
non-conference battle. Albany
lost to Rowan last year at home
in a one-point heartbreaker.
Coach Ford said the team isn’t
looking for revenge against a
Rowan squad that gave Albany
their first defeat of the season last
year.
“We're looking at this as just -
another game on the schedule,
and we’re trying to become all
we’re capable of,” Coach Ford
said.
Notes: The Great Danes’ first
home game of the sedson is on
Saturday, September 23 against
Wagner College. September 23 is
also a special fireworks night for
the Danes.

Dr. Lee McElroy Jr. named
Director of Athletics
By MIKE KIERNAN
Sports Editor
President Karen Hitchcock
announced the hiring of Dr. Lee
A. McElroy Jr. as Director of
Athletics and Recreation on July
6.
McElroy, who signed a five-
year contract, has spent the last
four years as American
University’s Director of
Athletics. American is a Division
I school that competes in the
Colanial Athletic Association.
During his tenure at American
the athletic department upgraded
to 19 sports, expanded corporate
partners: by 400 percent, and
planned capital projects for a fit-
ness facility, intramural ficld and
soccer stadium.
The move from a settled
school with such recent success
and conference affiliation may
* look a little odd, but McElroy is
looking towards the future.
“I’m looking three to five
years down the road and can
greatly see an increase in value
and quality here,” McElroy said.
“As a leader, you look as a
visionary and sce where they’re
headed. And I feel that here,
there is a very good chance to be
successful.”
McElroy, 52, also founded
the Eagle Club, the fundraising
arm of the department, and devel-
OF A
oped a program rated as one of
the top ten in the nation in its
compliance with NCAA under
gender equity requirements.
During the last three years the
Eagles reached NCAA champi-
onship play in men’s soccer,
women’s basketball, women’s
volleyball and wrestling, the
most appearances in the intercol-
legiate program’s 106-year histo-
ry.
“He’s a class act and has
some great experience,” Football
Head Coach Bob Ford said.
“He’s just what the doctor
ordered to carry us through this
move to Division I.”
A member of the UCLA
football team in the late 1960s,
McElroy was the director of ath-
letics at California State
University-Sacramento ‘from
1989 to 1996. He led the pro-
gram’ s
move from
Division I |
to Division I |
and helped
move _ the
school into
the Big Sky
and Big
West confer-
ene oe:
While there,
he _devel-
oped a plan
ing athletic facilities, so much so
that this past July it was the host
of the Olympic Trials in track and
field.
“He’s done it before with the
move from Division II to
Division I and with conference
affiliation,” Track and Field Head
Coach Roberto Vives said. “He
brings a lot to the program.”
McElroy also worked at the
University of Houston from 1981
to 1988 as an assistant director of
men and women’s sports and as
an associate director of athletics.
He was also the director of athlet-
ics for one year at the University
of the District of Columbia.
“We’re here for athletes and
coaches and we can do every-
thing the right way to win,”
McElroy said. “We all need to
work together.”
