A lack of inter-office communica-
tion seems to be the reason why the
ASP has had so much trouble getting
a hold of campus court records.
A representative from the ASP met
with Rachel Caplan, Director of the
Student Action Committee on Central
Council, on Monday. Caplan tried to
obtain the same records as the ASP
but through a different office and she
was able to do this promptly.
The ASP was considering hiring an
attorney to look over the matter of the
accessibility of campus court records
when Caplan requested a meeting.
Instead of going through the Freedom
of Information Officer, Stephen J.
Bediiz, Caplan went straight to Henry
Kirchner, Vice President of Student
Affairs.
Kirchner and the President’s Task
Force on Women’s Safety welcomed
the publicity the ASP was shedding
on the issue of campus crime and
rape, but they were dismayed to see
the accusatory article about the failed
attempts to receive the relevant
records from Stephen J. Beditz.
Kirchner provided Caplan with the
survey sheets filled out by Resident
Assistants, asking them about the
unreported crimes they suspected.
This was a key point in the ASP’s
argument, which centered around the
reported figure of zero rapes in three
years.
Each year federal laws require the
University to publish statistics detail-
ing the frequency of rape and other
crimes on campus. The question the
ASP raised was whether or not unver-
ified, yet reported, allegations of rape
should be included in the statistics.
Rachel Caplan feels that because of
the type of crime rape is, it is inher-
ently under-reported.
“No one is embarrassed to call the
police when they’re mugged,” she
‘said, “but many victims of rape do not
want to go to the police.”
Carrie Duggins, Women’s Issues
Director for Student Association,
addressed Central Council two weeks
ago about her desire to change the
reporting methods for the crime of
rape. Duggins wants a method that
will in some way explain, through an
asterisk or something else, that statis-
tics on rape are not as easy to provide
as statistics on robbery and other
crimes. After repeated attempts, Ms.
Duggins was unavailable for com-
ment.
Frogs are
freaks, too
By Ep MUNGER
News Editor
On Tuesday, Stanley Sessions, a_biolo-
gy professor from Hartwick College lec-
tured on deformed amphibians and
explained his theory on the mutations in
frogs found in the Northeast, and other
locations in the U.S.
“We may be facing an environmental cri-
sis unlike any we’ve known,” exclaimed
Sessions. The deformed frogs have been
found with as many as six legs growing
from one stump, but the mutations may not
be caused (as many have suggested) by
pollution and toxins.
“Literature dates back as far as two cen-
turies,” explained Sessions, noting that
there is a photograph of the same type of
frog malformation dating back to 1860.
The cause of this deformity may have
another origin altogether, according to
Sessions. ,
Sessions has carried out extensive
research on these frogs, which are found
throughout the United States. During his
research, he detected a similarity between
all the frogs; they all had cysts in the mal-
fermed areas of their anatomy...
Upon a closer look at the cysts, Sessions
discovered they housed parasitic little crea-
tures called trematodes. These trematodes
burrow their way into the tadpole swim-
ming in a pond, and remain inside of them
when they turn into frogs. During the
development stage, the trematodes get in
the way of the normal cell activity which
results in the formation of extra legs.
The explanation was more complicated
in biological terminology, but the implica-
tions of Sessions’ research could lead to a
new thinking about mutations in natural
species.
The trematodes that Sessions discovered
have cousins, some of which attack
humans. Sessions referred to what’s
known as “swimmer’s itch,” which people
contract from swimming in ponds and
other bodies of water. Symptoms include
an itchy red rash, that can only be cured
with antibiotics. In actually, the rash is
thousands 6f trematode like creatures bur-
rowing their way into the skin hoping to
find a home.
Other trematode like creatures cause
measle sachary in raccoons, in which they
eat through muscle tissue, and then migrate
into the limbs. Sessions said these are not
the ones causing the malformations in the
frogs he researched, but these frogs are
being found with increasing frequency.
The frequent finding of freaky frogs,
however, may not be a plague as some may
believe. Sessions suggested three reasons
for the increasing numbers. First of all,
people are looking for them now. Second,
snails that pick up the trematodes out of
snake droppings and in turn transport them
to the ponds, are more abundant. Third,
the weather has been conducive to trema-
tode survival.
. “Tt was interesting,” said Russell Falcon,
a SUNY junior who was curious about the
possible effects to people, “if one gets into
a cow or into something like fish,” he said,
maybe it could effect humans.”
Biology since 1961, said that it would be
nearly impossible for such trematodes to

Party in the Park:
Beer or no beer?
Recently it has been questioned whether beer should be banned.at Party
in the Park. I have no doubt that most of the student population would be
utterly opposed to a ban. Who after goes to P.I.P. without having drank at
least a coupul-a-beers? Some say at least a case.(humm?) The question
that comes to my mind is do people go to P.I.P to drink while having a
good time or do they go to P.I.P to drink to have a good time? Obviously it
is a mix of people doing different things. I think the majority of the
a mass explosion of revulsive regurgitation.
younger people (under age) at P.I.P. are drinking to have fun. And the
majority older people (of age) are drinking while having fun.
The excesses of youth an entire hill is turned into a urine bog in a few
hours. Its really disgusting the way people turn a hillside into sewage
sludge. I’m surprised those trees haven’t shriveled up and died. Looking
at it from the practical side they could have a fifth of the Porno Potties if
the weak bladdered beer drinkers were cut-off. Why don’t these one-case
beer drinking supermen stop drinking flavored seltzer and live up to
_{B.Y.0.B., I mean bring your own bottle. That way instead of over two gal-
lons of flavored water, there is a half gallon of projectile vomit triggering
All imagery aside, alcohol is definitely a problem in our society. It has
been linked to higher rates of spousal abuse, child abuse, rape, and other
violent crimes. Whether the University will face up to it or not it is a
problem at S.U.N.Y.A., alcohol I mean not anything like rape or violence.
The S.A. is only compounding and excusing the Universities political
maneuvering with its herd mentality. S.A. is being irresponsible in creat-
ing an environment in which underage drinking is acceptable and legal for
all practical purposes. Even more devastating they (S.A.) help to sustain
the S.U.N.Y.A. myth that you need beer and more beer to have a good
time. I unfortunately think S.A. will continue to be “a little/big fish” and
keep feeding on the disgorged leftovers of the night before. But if S.A.
stops licking up the spew of the University and takes a stand with the well
being of the students they serve in mind, the administration of this univer-
sity might start paying attention to the piss-bog forming at its foundations.

Great day to be gay
By DAN RUISI AND JOSE ORTIZ
Special Feature
The world watched as Ellen
DeGeneres came out on Ellen. Now
her mother, too, is joining in by being
the Human Rights Campaign’s official
spokesperson for National Coming Out
Day on October 11.
UAlbany’s own LGBA celebrated
Coming Out Day this Wednesday.
LGBA members and _ LGBI staff
worked togther to chalk the podium
with names of noteworthy gay people.
As people walked by they invariably
stared at the chalkings.
Even in the seemingly gay friendly
environment of this university, many
students still struggle through their
entire coming out process.
Homophobia, whether off the record
jokes or direct attacks, come more
from students here than from anyone
else. One student, who wished to stay
anonymous, said that he was interested
in joining a campus club when he was
rudely awakened by a member telling a
gay joke he found very distasteful.
“Gay life is not perfect on this
campus,” said Tim Allen of LGBA,
“and most of the homophobia comes
from other students in conversations I
overhear in the library or cafeteria.”
By being visible, in a positive light,
Allen hopes to affect the students here.
“The administration can’t single-
handedly eliminate homophobia, but
they can educate people and we-could
help by increasing our visibility.”
Increasing visibility is something the
minority members of the LGB commu-
nity would like to see their peers do, as
well. |
“TI would like to see more minorities
like myself come out. We are all here
to support each other and that’s what
today [National Coming Out Day] is
all about,” said Cliff, a member of
LGBA.
Much has changed in social attitudes
and technology, which has allowed
gays and lesbians voices in the main-
stream media. In today’s world, the
gays and lesbians that show today’s
college students what gay people look
like are celebrities.
Through the efforts of Ellen
DeGeneres and others like K.D. Lang
and Melissa Etheridge, the idea that
gay people are as funny and talented as
anyone else has hit a large segment of
students here at UA. And with it has
come the idea that gay people areg
equal in every other way.
Here in Albany the mixing of gay
and straight nightlife is a regular
occurrence. The Fusebox is a techno-
style club held in the dance space of
Power Company, a traditionally gay
bar. The result is a free environment to
dance to the best beats in town.
Gay nightlife in Albany isn’t just
about drinking and dancing, either.
Water Works Pub is an ardent support-
er of PBS, as well as anonymous AIDS
testing upstairs every week and the
Juniper Foundation, which helps HIV
positive individuals. The gay and les-
bian bars of Albany pull together to
hold fundraisers for friends in need,
and they all make charitable contribu-
tions to the Capital District Lesbian
and Gay Community Council to help™
with special events.

developing over a large amount
of time. “This type of mutation
can be caused in humans,”
explained Mackiewicz, but by
Thalidymide, a chemical that
used to be banned which is soon
to go back on the market, to treat
leprosy.
Mackiewicz suggested that the
recent fervor about the frogs may
just be a misunderstanding,
because as Sessions pointed out,
the detormities found in the frogs
caused by trematodes, are differ-
ent than the ones caused by pol-
lutants. Sessions told the group
that in all the trematode infected
freaky frogs, no toxins were
found. This research does not
preclude pollution caused muta-
tions, but rather differentiates
between the causes and types of
mutations.

Center Court at Dutch Quad to debut parents weekend
By ABE SAKS -
Staff Writer
As a Freshman living on
Dutch Quad, I decided to write
about all the features that are
available at Dutch.
Renovations have begun on
Schuyler Hall’s roof. Last year,
there were reports of water
leaks going to some rooms’
ceilings. From 8am until 5, all
residents of schyler can hear
the loud, irritating noises of
jackhammers' plummeting
above them. Many students are
already complaining that they
can’t get enough sleep because
of the noise. Renovations are

expected to be over in several
weeks time.
Dutch Quad Council, at the
decided to build a new Enter-
tainment/Study Environment in
the penthouse of the tower.
This new facility will be
called Center Court and will
have many fun, and interesting
features. Included in the fea-
tures will be a new state-of-
the-art game room, large-
-screen TV, a pool table, foos-
ball, juice bar, and for the more
serious students, a study and
lounge area. This new facility
is currently under construction
but will be ready by Parent’s
Homecoming Weekend
of Oct 17-19th.
Dutch Quad also has a newly
constructed Dining Hall which
was just finished in time for
residents. Dutch Dining fea-

Rotissiere, Ice Cream Stand,
and also the only Kosher Din-

S.A. Coorespondant
With over ninety volunteers
NYPIRG was able to register
| over 1,600 students on their
' annual voter registration Blitz
Day. The deadline for submit-
ting registration forms is
October 10th.
# According to one volunteer
i the event was a huge success
considering this was not a big
election year.
Mike Davoli the NYPIRG
member who helped organize
the event said that he found it
interesting that a’number of
New York City students had
such a strong interest in the
nf NYC. Mayoral Race that they
, choose not to re-register up
here.”
What does make this a key
election is the opportunity cit-
izens have to affect the New
York State Constitution.
Every twenty years voters are
f allowed to play a much larger
role in democracy by having a
chapce to-<yote*,.for. a
Constitutional Convention.
It’s not too late!
The New York Times
every day, it’s an
education for life.
The outcome to some could be
positive or negative depending
on the changes that are made and
who is put in the position to make
the changes.
By registering the students here
on campus the sense of apathy is
slowly being removed. Last year
the registered students here at
SUNY Albany turned out at 73%
rate.
According to Davoli this is only
the first step in thier Get-Out-
The-Vote campaign. “The next
step will be our Canidate
Information Guide that will be
released before the election.
This guide will contain ques-
tions and answers from local
canidates and their stances on dif-
ferent issues.” The plan to
cosponsor a forum with S.A.’s
Office of Educational Affairs
which will take place Oct. 28th
(more information is available in
the S.A. and NYPIRG offices).
Davoli states that the final step
for NYPIRG’s Get-Out-The-Vote
campaign will be reminding and
encouraging students where and
when to vote (which is Nov. 4th).

And to who‘do I owe this feeling inside
now exactly who do I blame
For this feeling I have is like nothing else
and nothing else-is the same
And his look and his mutter.send my heart a flutter
His touch and his smell make me weak
With his tousled hair like he doesn’t care
Itis only him who I seek
With his deep green eyes and his well muscled thighs
Only to him will I pledge
Both inside and out he is gorgeous about
And its driving me over the edge
So polite and‘so sweet no other i meet
Can even compare to him
Only in my heart are we not apart
And all other prospects seem dim

Animal
I lay in my bed and dream.
I dream that I rise in the middle of class and rip off my shirt. The collectively
unconscious group looks at me with dreary eyes and I am unaware of their _
ridicule as mouth agape I unleash a primal roar. The students perch at their desks
as if birds waiting for the professors worm. But, today the nest is disturbed as I
toss my books up over my head, papers falling in every direction. I bound to the
door growing more restless and primitive with every step. Like a cave man now, I
stagger down the marble floored halls, as I arch my neck noticing the huge
ceilings. Pushing through the lines of drones, my wild arms clench my hair while
I continue onward towards an unknown destination. My savage eyes swell at the
sight of the sunlight outdoors and I hurry outside knocking over a tall exotic plant
in a large clay pot.
It is afternoon in the city and I see the sunlight altered by a filthy layer of
pollution. The rays of smoggy light, fall onto a sea of metal automobiles. I can
barely decipher the sweet scent of autumn from the putrid stench of exhaust. My
barefeet slap against the continuous pathways of the concrete jungle. I pass by the
perfectly trimmed lawns of houses that all look the same. People on leashes sit on
identical porch steps and point at me. They all wear the same clothing and smoke
the same tobacco. In their yards, nurtured flowers line the base of carefully placed
trees.
Appearing next to me, my professor asks why I left class. Eyes widened, I
snarl, “I feel like an animal.” My professor tries to restrain me; but I push on
running further. He does not think it’s good to be an animal. But I do. I return to
the school now, the class, the people. Enlightened, I am ready to answer questions.
I am ready for a new beginning.
I lay in my bed and dream:
That we are all animals, that we all need to break the chains of modernization
and be free again. That all of you, like me want to forget the responsibilities of
today. That together, we will all decide to learn how to live again.

Somehow I?ll Find My Way Home
Somehow I’ll find my way home,
Where I’m loved and where I am known.
Where my hungry stomach is filled
And they won’t put the food on my bill,
And the tears in my tattered clothes will be sewn.
Home is where the heart is,
But she has my heart.
If I could only steal her kiss,
Then I would never again have to depart
In search of my place in the unknown.
For she is home.
Somehow Ill find my way home,
Where ambrosia fruit is grown.
Where a man’s wealth isn’t measured in gold,
But by the amount of love he gives before he’s too old
To see the beauty in a solitary stone.
Home is where the heart is,
But she has my heart.
If I could only steal her kiss,
Then nothing could tear us apart.
Not even the ‘hateful wind which has blown.
For she is home.
Somehow Ill find my way home,
Where my caged-bird loneliness has flown.
Where I can live without care
And she will always be there,
Then I will never again be alone.

A Place in My Heart
There is a place in my heart |
Where my love for you has grown
My thoughts of you are filled
With a love that is not known
Everyday I don’t hear from you
Is a day in which I weep
Every night I go without you
Is a night that I lose sleep
So I try to keep on moving
As my love continues strong
But my heart remains quite empty
With a place where you belong

Innocent Victim
A beautiful morning this month of May
A baby girl is born today.
8 inches 3 Ibs 2 ounces her size
_ Born a crack baby she can’t open her eyes.
In an incubator is where she lays
Surrounded by the floresoent bright rays. ,
Whose to blame the mother, the father or society
definitely not she
Being brought into this world was not her choioe
clearly you can see.
Unfortunately like baby girl there are so many others
Who suffer the consequences of their mothers.
Life is precious valuable its true
It saddens me to see
_ Baby girl an innocent victim too.

Chocolate
Chocolate tied his leather boots, fixed his baseball cap, and finally concluded with a stare at the horizon, into a foggy and rainy night
that revealed nothing better than the same ancient pages of sad stories. It had been like this forever, even when the many presidents of the
United States had promised drastic changes in the weather, during their yearly meetings with the cabinet, composed merely by a group of
men from the white race who never ceased their underground war against the Ghettoes. Chocolate seldom worried or considered the yearly
announcement, which by the time he was twenty five, had become just another senseless promise to his ears, exactly like those offers the
ancient idealists had proposed, including the idea of equality.
Chocolate, like the hypocritical men who had been leading the nation, was also.a president, only he commanded a team of respected
but ignorant drug dealers who spent days arguing about the prison sentences for crack and cocaine possession. The younger ones believed the
prison terms to be five times greater for crack, and the older ones, convinced that both drugs were the same, argued that there was no
difference in the punishment. However, what any of them had never known was that the government, upon reviewing the statistics of the
country which showed that the majority of crack arestees were inner city humans, had increased the terms one hundred times more severely,
unlike that of cocaine, which was mostly used by lighter skinned creatures.
So that had been the team’s lives for the past few years, arguing and supplying local addicts with the deadly substances that had been
smuggled into this territory in body bags by members of the Drug Enforcement Agency. Among the people, the smuggling was only a rumor;
nevertheless, the muting of such shocking news had been another successful victory in congress.
To say that Chocolate loved his world can be an infamy to the human race, although, with his erectness, he always told false stories
of an unknown paradise. That was the kind of pride he possessed, so even when life began to hate him one could not figure out why he was
often praised. For this Chocolate felt untouchable, too proud of the cloudy universe he lived in, the same universe that striped him from his
true dreams, the same one that often cheered him for his beautiful misery.
Although he would’ ve rather been different, the tension at our high school gave him no choice. We became members of a group of
desperate teenagers who were searching for their real names, and obviously they were not the dull ones we had learned in our history classes.
It was back then when we all wanted to be our own heroes, the ones that would tell fascinating stories of how we took “that” last victim out.
And our fears were molded with pride, deeply immersed into a total silence, the way our government liked us, quiet, in our tiny, set up
worlds. :
Some things began to speak to me, so from then on I just observed. He became attracted to the social phenomenons of our areas,
those things that sorrounded us everyday at school. Because he happened to make a few wrong turns, the school concluded that he was an
unrepairable human being so they dumped him into the world of uneducated people: into the depth of a sea where no such man could ever
find a straight way of living. That dark sea that has nothing better to offer to these Ghetto soldiers.
From then on he sold drugs, smiling all the time as if life was always granting him victories. But one who knew Chocolate personally
could say that he was a mad king, and if one touched on the wrong spot of his heart, he would be the craziest, so crazy that last Monday it
cost him his life. 2
At his funeral, I could not halt my angry sobbing. Scrambling through the memories of those boys in blue, I bégan to think of the
others that had been struck by this war. In our Ghetto we just never sympathized with cops, and it was this thought that perhaps drove those
bastards to pull out their guns, or it was their guns that caused us to hate them. The whole thing was a sorry mess.
I could not look at Chocolate. For a moment I thought that maybe my tears would bring him back to life, so if I looked into his soul
at that precise time, his precious feeling of resurrection would turn him into a shameful reality. He would be disappointed at the scene out-
side the funeral home: Children were running gayly behind “The Game Room”, in front*of which was the local bum who hung an old,
-|wrecked, American flag to his shopping cart. The flag was being dragged by a silent wind that simultaneously suspended the empty
marijuana bags making them look like transparent objects flying freely into space. Back inside, from the altar at the funeral house, the
preacher was speaking his last words which sounded distant to my ears. Still, from my blurry world, I fixed my vision into the flag that
_ [waved outside as the preacher was concluding: “God, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Poem Written at Starbucks
We lay by the fountain,
A slight breeze chilled the air,
Far away was a mountain,
Inhabited by wolves and bears.
Sometimes I feel that nobody cares,
I feel lost like I cannot see,
But when I climb the invisible stairs,
I feel I may meet somebody who loves me.
Today I’m here by the fountain,
With a girl I met at the tavern,
Far away exists a mountain,
I’il murder her in a cavern.

Running Away Part II
(continued from the last issue of The Fountain Pen)
Exhausted, everyone finally let me go to sleep. I had two dreams. One was about how great my new life was
going to be and the other was about a juicy T- bone steak... don’t ask. Anyway, I slept surprisingly well considering
the circumstaces. |
When I woke up a glance over at the clock told me that it was about 10:00 am. As I saunter into the kitchen a
hush falls across the room and every eye fixates on me.
“Good morning” I say mid-yawn.
“Good morning” everyone says in unison. I notice that Jill looks incredibly hot, trying not to stare. She was a
relatively new edition to the group right before I left. Rummaging through the cupboards revealed two breakfast
choices, cereal and cereal. Guess what I picked. However, before I can sit down, I notice Jill got up and is now
standing right behindme.
“T-missed you” she whispered into my ear.
Right then and there I wished that the pair of shorts I was wearing left a little more to the imagination, if you
know what I mean. :
“You barely even know me” I replied. |
Without saying anything she wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her chin on my shoulder.
“How did you sleep?” she asked in a playful voice. |
“Fine.” I replied. It had just dawned on me that my cereal was getting soggy so I better start eating soon. |
After breakfast, I showered and put on my lucky shirt. Everyone else was doing their own thing. I was about to
leave when I heard a knock on the bedroom door. It was, you guessed it, Jill. Before I knew it and with minimal
conversation, we were both in my bed. She was amazing. No... she was really amazing! My wallet was going to
feel kinda funny without the condom in it, but Ill live. I have never heard a women scream so loud and so
passionately. I’m surprised that nobody interrupted us, including people in China. |
She eventually fell asleep, so I left. I was a little behind schedule and still wondering why Jill and I had our little
encounter for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I head for the subway entrance a couple blocks away.
“Oh shit mother fucker!” I hear being yelled as I look up and see two of my worst enemies from my “previous
life”. “Let’s get him!”
I knew running track would come in handy some day. The chase was on. Did you ever notice that you can never
find a cop when you really need one! Well, anyway, I managed to elude them using my cunning ways. I never
thought I would ever see those guys again. I can’t blame them for wanting to kill me.
Now, even more behind schedule, I make it to the subway and head downtown. Happiness is in my grasp.

Listen to the Cantaloupe People
(continued from the last issue of The Fountain Pen)
‘Louise,’ moaned James, “I could hold a cantaloupe
in my arms for the remainder of my life. That’s it. Louise,
I’m now going to dedicate my life to cantaloupe research, and
the wonders of a cantaloupe’s complexity.”
At this point, Louise was thoroughly confused. Her
boyfriend had before her very eyes, instantaneously become a
raving lunatic. It was way over her head, as were most things,
how this had happened to her James. So she did the only
thing she could do in situation such as this. She jealously
took a cantaloupe, smashed it over James’ hard noggin, and
ran, sobbing hysterically, away from James and his deluded _
cantaloupe fantasies.
James hardly even noticed this event that should have
been a major one in his life. He was way too busy
contemplating cantaloupe theories. That evening, James was
feeling pretty tired. So he got into bed a little early and
meditated, thinking of a cantaloupe farm. After his
meditation, James believes that he was awake for the dictator
| of the cantaloupe people’s speech to him. The dictator
| discussed the fact that each cantaloupe was a separate,
| | individual planet, with millions of cantaloupe people on them
| | and he was sort of like the Secretary-General of the United i Doi N < Ri nesitle
Nations, only he had the power to govern.
The dictator called himself Hugo, and he was

and James hopped out of bed, almost rubbed a cantaloupe all

Randy Johnson not dominating, but domintaed
By MIKE KIERNAN
Staff Writer
- Randy Johnson was far from
dominant during the Division
Series between the Seattle
Mariners and the Baltimore Ori-
oles. In fact, he was dominated,
in Game | at least.
The Mariners were ousted
_ from the playoffs fairly easily by
the Orioles, three games to one,
thanks to the ineffectiveness of
Johnson as well as the inability
of the Mariner offense to hit. The
Mariners, the highest scoring
team in the league during the
season, did not score more than
four runs in a game in the entire
series.
Johnson lasted just five
innings in Game 1, giving up
five runs on seven hits in a 9-3
loss. He only struck out three
batters, two of which were in the
first inning, the only real good
one that he pitched; He walked
four Orioles’, in the first game
he’s walked more batters than
he’s struck out since April 1996.
The game was tied at one going
into the fifth; when the Orioles
connected for four runs, knock-
ing Johnson out of the game. The
game turned into a rout in the
sixth when Baltimore scored four
more runs off of reliever Mike
Timlin. Mike Mussina of the
Orioles was in command the
entire game, pitching seven
innings, giving up only two runs
on five hits while striking out
nine without walking a batter.
Jaime Moyer took the mound
for the Mariners in Game Two
and was in control until the fifth
inning when he strained a flexor
muscle in his left elbow. He left
the game leading 2-1; the final
was 9-3 in favor of the Orioles.
Bobby Ayala was the main cul-
prit, giving up six runs in 1 1/3
innings pitched. Baltimore got
two off of Ayala in the seventh
and then put the game away with
a four run-eighth. Scott Erickson
gave the Orioles its second
straight strong pitching perfor-
mance going 6 2/3 innings, giv-
ing up three runs on seven hits.
Jeff Fassero finally gave Seat-
tle the pitching performance it
needed in Game three. He went
eight innings giving up only one
run on three hits, retiring eigh-
teen straight batters in one
stretch. Leading 2-0 going into
the ninth, the Mariners got some
insurance with two solo home
runs from Jay Buhner and Paul
Sorrento. They needed it. The
Orioles got two runs in the ninth
to pull to within 4-2, and brought
the tying run to the plate against
the Mariners horrendous bulipen

2/3 innings giving up two runs

Jeff Reboulet and Geronimo
Berroa both hit home runs: and
Mike Mussina had another stellar
pitching performance to lead the
Orioles to the series clinching 3-
1 victory. Mussina went séven
innings giving up only one, run
on two hits. Randy Johnson Went
the distance giving up three xuns
on seven hits while striking out
thirteen in the loss. Randy Meyers
pitched a perfect ninth to get the
save. :
The Yankees sure know how
to make the Division Series
interesting. They played one of
the most exciting series’ ever
with the Mariners two years ago
and played another with the Indi-
ans this year. They lost both. In
as close a series as you'll get, the
Indians just made the big plays
in the final two games and that’s
the reason why they are golng
on.
Game one featured a disas-

More controversy at SA meeting
By JOSE ORTIZ
SA Correspondent
At this week’s Central Council
meeting another Vice-Chair elec-
tion had to take place because of
mistake that was made by the
Council leadership. Omar Estra-
da Torres was forced to run again
for the position even though he
had already ran and won the
position last month. This elec-
tion was not as easy as the last
for Estrada Torres because he
had to run against Ashwani Prab-
hakar (an off-campus representa-
tive who was a presidential can-
didate last year).
The center of the controversy
revolved around an issue that the
Controller Josh Fensterstock felt
was pertinent to the election.
When Fensterstock attempted
to explain the situation to Coun-
cil, Chairman Ari Steinfeld ruled
him out of order and did not
allow him to continue because he
felt the incident was not relevant
to the elections.
In an attempt to find out for
themselves council members
motioned to overturn the Chair’s
decision not to allow this infor-
mation in debate. Ari Steinfeld
(who was afiliated with the same
political party as Ashwani Prab-
hakar in last year’s Student
Association election) explained
his interpretation of policy to the
Council which was that in order
to over turn the chair decision, a
2/3 majority would be needed
and the vote that had been taken
to overturn his decision was not
enough. After the election he
would explain the incident him-
self (which turned out to be that
a former Council Chair who
stepped down because she
moved out of the Quads and re-
ran as an off-campus representa-
tive did not have to re-run for the
Vice-Chair because she had
already been elected chair).
Throughout the course of the
meeting new council members
who were attending their first
meeting were left without the
proper knowledge to take part in
the debate.
After the meeting the newly
elected Vice-Chair Omar Estrada
Torres said that after he
approached some members of
the Executive Branch as well as
Chairman Ari Steinfeld prior to
the election and they decided not
to use past precedent to influence
the elections. He then added "I
was very displeased with the
way council handled itself while
responding to this situatition, it
was also a very inappropriate
time to discuss this issue.”
In the end one student who
wanted to remain anonyms stated
that Chairman Steinfeld was seen
“as someone who is abusing his
power”. ;
Saundra Rodriguez who was
there to support Estrada Torres
said “I was disappointed because
when the new members asked
the Chairman to repeat certain
procedures he refused which
caused a confusion when voting
occurred.”
When asked what she thought
of the meeting Jessica Morales, a
Council Rep. from Indian Quad,
stated “I think it was a produc-
tive because it gave new mem-
bers an understanding about cen-
tral council.” She would go onto
say uiat she felt “that there now
exist a balance of power on the
Central Council which is equally
representative of the variety of
ethnic diversities here at the Uni-
versity.”
Blake Scott , the volunteer
assistant to the controller, gave
the Controller’s Report. She
stated that that the S.A. had spent
$205,000 in September, the bulk
of which was the cost for the
Dippikill reconstruction (A camp
that the S.A. owns and rent out
out for profit). As of now she
stated that Copies Plus has made
a profit of $42,000 which
includes $1,000 that was made
from the newly installed credit
card machines.
Controller Josh Fensterstock
later stated that the following
groups do not hAve access to
their budget because they have
not taken the Treasurer’s Exam:
Math Club, National Association
of Black Accountants, Coach
Potato Media, Campus Action,
M.S.O., Le Cercle Francais, Irish

DAN RUISI
News Editor
sial. You know what though, I work here so I get to put in whatever I
want. Many people are getting upset, and frustrated with what I’ve been
writing. Well, there is only one solution for those people; Come here,
work for four years, give up every Thursday night of your life, then you
could write what’s on your mind.
Instead, people without jobs go out and get drunk on Thursday nights,
then wake up pissed at me for what I wrote. You know what, deal with it!
I’m sorry that you can only work hard enough to read our newspaper, and
spend thirty seconds writing some criticism that is just as invalid as my
original article.
The funny part is that these people think they command some type of
respect. They can kiss my ass. They have done nothing to deserve one
iota of anything. These people just add gas to my fire. They write me
back there opinions of my opinion. If I wanted that I would call this
piece, “Head-to-Head”, or some other awful title.
I don’t care what these people think, and I find it absolutely hilarious
that they spend time on these types of things. One reader actually spent
two pages correcting my grammar. What kind of life is that person living
if they are ‘so incensed that they must spend time to go through every
sentence of my opinion and correct the grammar. Well, that guy can look
at this piece because the grammar probably sucks as well.
I hope you spend many hours of your pathetic life being pissed at me
for writing an editorial. These things are supposed to great controversy,
and you have fallen into the trap my friend.
I hope this piece pisses some more people off, and I look forward to
reading your letters. They are quite amusing. I sit with my friends and
co-workers and let them read these pieces. So find them funny, others are
surprised that I don’t become upset. Upset at what? These are my opin-
ions, I don’t give a rats’ ass if anyone else believes them or agrees with
them.
For those of you that think you are the editor of this newspaper, or can
do a better job than the editors of this newspaper, I have a few bits of
advice for you. First, you can’t do as good a job as we do. Second, if you
would like to try, drag your lazy ass down here and give it a shot. We
don’t bite. Actually, we all have a very good time. Third, I get paid to
write this, and all those people do is take time out of their busy lives to
write their letters. Gee, let me think. That would make me smarter than
them in my book. So, please keep writing all your letters, because I could
use the laughs, not to mention more material for next weeks article.
I hope everyone has enjoyed this piece, and is able to take the time to
read it and think about it. I hope I can influence just one person. If so,
then my work here will be done. If you believe that, then you haven’t
been paying attention throughout this whole editorial, and should write
me a letter for a further explanation.

As part of their Latino Her-
itage Month, Fuerza Latina
sponsored an interactive work-
shop entitled “Hip-hop and the
Media’.
Staff from Stress Magazine
came to the University to speak
to students about their experi-
ences in the media, which ulti-
mately led them to establishing
Stress Magazine with their own
money and resources.
The speakers talked about the
image hip-hop has in the main-
stream media - an image, they
say, that is built on money.
When hip-hop music first
came out, one was very unlikely
to find major national compa-
nies pitching their product with
a rap tune. As companies began
to realize the vast purchasing
power of the minority commu-
nities that listen to rap, they
began to target their advertising
towards minorities. Eventually,
the speakers said, this lead to
hip-hop becoming as respected
as other genres of music in the
mainstream media.
Fuerza Latina will be conclud-
ing its Latino Heritage Month
on Thursday, October iv.
A Healthy Investment in Your Future
Health Care. Those two words have been the source of
much discussion recently. Probably because we as a nation
know the importance of investing in a healthy future.
So do millions of patients who choose chiropractic as their
preferred source of health care. The chiropractic beliefs in
fitness, nutrition, prevention, and natural maintenance make
good sense.
Wellness, you see, is the normal state of being.
New York State government agrees. They have recently
passed the Insurance Equality bill that mandates insurance
coverage for chiropractic care.
For over 75 years, New York Chiropractic College has
upheld a tradition of excellence in chiropractic higher
education. Our combined traditions, old and new, have
built the base from which the chiropractic doctors of the
future are created.

Sweeps end season for both
Houston and San Francisco
By JEREMY MORRISSEY
Staff Writer
The odds were against the Houston
Astris in their five game divisional series
with the Braves. Yet few could have
expected that they would have gotten beat-
en as badly as they were.
The series opened up at Turner Field
where Greg Maddux threw another master-
piece, completely shutting down the Killer
B’s: Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, and Derek
Bell. Maddux gave up one run going all
nine innings.
Game 2 had Jeff Blauser hitting a home-
| run and driving in three runs as the Braves
beat up on Houston starter Mike Hampton,
who gave up six runs in 4 2/3 innings as
Atlanta annihilated Houston, 13-3.
In game three, the series moved to the
Astrodome but that wasn’t enough to save -
the Astros. Chipper Jones hit a solo home
run, and John Smoltz went the distance giv-
ing up only three hits and one run as
Atlanta brought the Central Division
Champ Astros to the end of their season.
Atlanta’s pitching staff showed their
dominance, shutting down Houston’s pow-
erfull offense without even having twenty
game winner Denny Neagle pitch.
In the National League’s other series, the
near miraculous season of the San
Francisco Giants ran out of steam as they
were simply overpowered by the Wild Card
Florida Marlins.
In Game one in Florida, Kevin Brown
and Kirk Rueter both only gave up one run
in seven innings work. Both pitchers had
their shutouts spoiled in the seventh by Bill
Mueller and Charles Johnson respectively.
‘“emained tied until the ninth inning when .
son scored again on an Edgar
Renterria single to break the 1-1 tie, off of
Roberto Hernandez.
The second game was very different
from the first with both teams scoring early
and often. Shawn Estes, one of this year’s
best pitchers went only three inningsgetting
tagged for five earned runs. But San Fran
pounded Florida starter Al Leiter. Yet the
game was won in the last play of the game
when Moises Alou knocked in Gary
Sheffield to win the game. Hernandez, who
was traded to strengthen the bullpen, again
gave up the winning run. Sheffield and
Bonilla were the two big bats for the
Marlins combing for six hits and four runs
in the 7-6 win.
In game three in the stadium formerly
known as Candlestick Park in San
Fransisco, Wilson Alvarez kept the Marlins
scoreless until the Marlins loaded the bases
with two outs in the sixth inning. Devon
White nailed the coffin for the Giants when
he crushed a Grand Slam out of left field.
Jeff Kent’s two solo home runs were the
only bright spot for the Giants as they were
defeated 6-2.
The National League Championship
series now pits the Atlanta Braves vs. the
Florida Marlins. Both t~ms come out of the
National League Eastern division and
though the Braves were regular season
_ champions and had a better record, the
Marlins dominated the regular season
matchup between the two teams.

Mars or bust
Destination Mars recently aired on the Discovery Channel. Destination explained
that the Mars Pathfinder mission had instilled enough confidence in NASA engineers
to make them really try for a manned mission to Mars.
One of the biggest obstacle facing a manned mission to Mars is the problem of
storing the fuel for the trip home. Engineers hope to solve this problem by sending
an unmanned vessel to Mars first, to synthesize fuel from the martian environment.
The martian environment is rich in Carbon dioxide, which can be converted into
methane fuel. With the help of radio communication, the astronauts will know how
cience
Another obstacle to overcome in long space
@ejournies is the problem of storing the oxygen need-
ed for the ship’s atmosphere. The only previous
working solution to this problem involved using
S plants to synthesize oxygen, which takes up more
space than storing
oxygen tanks.
Scientists have
engineered a way to recycle astronauts’ urine into
oxygen and water. Urine is rich in Carbon and
Hydrogen, and it is hoped that the Nitrogen found in
urea Gan eventually be engineered to become a com-
ponent of the ship’s fuel.
“The technologies needed to send a manned mis
sion to Mars are available today,” quoth the narrator
of Destination Mars. With the continuing advance-
ment in computer technologies evident every day, we
are living in an age where it is no longer impossible
to go to Mars.
@eeeeaeeoeoeoeoeooeooeoeoeeoeneeoeoeoeceoneoeeedce
NASA and scientists at the Jet Propulsion
Labratory have yet to hear from the Mars Pathfinder
spacecraft and the rover Soujourner. After receiving a brief signal from the auxiliary
transmitter on the spacecraft, JPL lost the signal entirely. Scientists at JPL are spec-
ulating that a battery failure on the spacecraft is causing the problem. Without con-
stant battery power, the internal clocks on the spacecraft can not keep track of local
(Martian) time and that makes it impossible for the rover to locate Earth with its
antennas. Several experiments are now on hold, including an experiment that is
attempting to infer the internal structure of Mars by measuring rotational and orbital
dynamics.
The space shuttle Atlantis returned to Earth this week after a successful mission.
The missions main objective was to resupply the Russian space station Mir and bring
astronaut Michael Foale back to Earth after a trouble plagued stay aboard Mir. David
Wolf replaced Michael Foale as the American contingent aboard Mir. Along with
approximately 2 tons of supplies, Atlantis brought up a new flight computer for Mir
to replace the one which is currently being used.
Earlier this week, residents of the area near Kennedy Space Center were arguing
against launching the Cassini space probe from that location. They argue that the
booster that is going to be used to launch the spacecraft (an Atlas IV) has a history
of problems. Normally, this would be a very serious issue, but Cassini will be uti-
lizing a Plutonium power source. Residents are worried that in the event of a cata-
strophic failure (i.e. the rocket explodes), that highly toxic plutonium would be blan-

A jury in South Carolina found Chrysler liable for
death of 6-year-old Sergio Jimenez II in an auto acci-
dent. Jimenez was thrown from his parents’ minivan
when a defective rear latch opened.
In a landmark suit against automakers, the jury

were on the side of the Jimenez family.
Over 4.1 million of the defective latches were
installed in Chrysler minivans between 1984-95.
- The only cigarrette company to admit that cigarrettes
are addictive, the Liggett Group, asked North Carolina
Governor Jim Hunt to help it avoid paying billions of
dollars worth of damages.
As part of an effort to avoid liability, Liggett admit-
ted cigarrettes were adictive, turned over thousands of
classified company documents and agreed to turn over
25% of its pre-tax profits for 25 years; a figure that will
be in excess of $200 million a year for 25 years.
At the Stanford-Notre Dame game recently, a half-
time show that made fun of the Irish Potato Famine and
called Irish people “stinking drunks” caused an uproar
in the Roman Catholic community.
30 administrators from Stanford signed a letter to
Athletic Director Ted Leland calling the show “obnox-
ious and offensive”.
Leland later apologized at a local Catholic school,
saying the pranks were only meant to poke fun at Notre
Dame’s mascot, the Fighting Irish.

Dean Smith ends an era in college hoops
By THOMAS MCMAHON
Editor-in-Chief
Yesterday marked the end of an
era. An era that may never be
matched in any sport. At a 2 p.m.
press conference yesterday, Dean
Smith announced he was resign-
ing as the men’s head basketball
coach at the University of North
Carolina.
His accomplishments are a mile
long. Smith has accumulated thir-
ty, 20—win seasons over his 36
years at UNC. He holds the
record for most career college
basketball victories, and holds a
winning percentage of .778.
Never has sports seen such domi-
nance over a long period of time.
Smith has also coached 21
All—Americans, and numerous
“Big Time” coaches. His influ-
ence on basketball will be felt
forever.
Dean Smith commanded so
much respect that former players
and assistant coaches were on
hand for yesterday’s announce-
ment. Even John Thompson, who
was an assistant under Smith in
the 1976 Olympics, was in atten-
dance.

Saturday October 4th the Uni-
versity at Albany fencing team
showed its stuff in Mechanicville
at the Knights of Siena Fencing
Academy. Mike Ciminesi, Kevin
Duff, and Jeremy Beroza filled
the three-man Foil team, the Epee
team, and the. Sabre team.
Throughout the course of the day
the three dueled against Colum-
bia-Green and RPI in foil losing
to both, and coming within a few
points of the RPI team. The Uni-
versity’s three duelist also com-
Perhaps even greater than
Smith’s accomplishments on the
court, was the influence he had in
people’s lives off the court. Many
of his former players and assistant
coaches are still in close contact
with Smith and often call upon
him for advice. Many of them
consider the “Michaelangelo” of
college basketball a father figure.
Roy Williams said of Smith,
“Not one of coach Smith’s former
players or assistant coaches
makes a major decision in their
lives without consulting him -
(Smith)”.
The 66-year old also has a fund
setup for former players who
have not graduated to return and
finish their education at any time.
Another amazing story about
Smith is, when the alumni at
UNC wanted to build a new
arena, and name it in Smith’s
honor. The humble coach refused
the honor, and told the alumni
that a new arena would be great,
but even better without his name
on the front.
The alumni refused to donate
the new building unless Smith
accepted the honor. Since the
building was needed, and could
again were only a few points off
target. And finally in Epee
against UMASS the blade rang
true and clear for the three duelist,
in victory.
For those who have not been
initiated into the art of fencing,
whose roots can be traced to clas-
sical ballet, here is a brief descrip-
tion. The Foil is a flexable blade

scholarship to play at a school in
the south, Smith was a true
leader.
Now the question hovers,
“Why did Dean leave?” Some say
it was time, he was tired. Other
say it was the constant burden of
guiding over hundreds of young
peoples lives. Smith says he stills
loves basketball, but the other
things, such as recruiting and
planning have worn on him over
the years. His family is so impor-
tant to him, but he could barely
find time to spend with them.

Covering University at Albany sports since 1916
Danes still look impressive as they go to 4-1
ROBERT O’ DONNELL
Sports Editor
The last two weeks have
yielded more of the great
results the Danes have enjoyed
since their only loss in week
one. Albany posted coach Bob
Ford’s 150th and 151st wins in
their routs of C.W. Post and
Merrimack the last two satur-
days, leading the team to a 4-1
start for the second consecutive
season. Two big first quarters
put the Danes comfortably
ahead in both games with leads
that would never even be chal-
lenged.
Senior split end Dan Gmelin
opened the first of the two
games by experiencing the
comfort that he and other
receiving targets provide for
quarterback Joe Savino, as he
threw a 65-yard option touch-
down pass to tight end Seth
Thomas on Albany’s first
offensive play. This play
opened the flood gates for
Albany to set a single quarter
scoring record, racking up 38
points in the first stanza. C.W.
Post never had a chance on
their home field after this kind
of start and managed only to
end the Dane’s defensive streak
By ROBIN BENNETT
Staff Writer
The Albany River Rats offi-
cially kicked off their fifth
anniversary season in Albany,
with their first homegame last
Saturday at the Pepsi Arena.
The Rats were fresh off a 3-0
away win over Hamilton (the
team who eliminated them
from the Calder Cup playoffs
in the semi-finals last season)
and seemed likely to put on
quite a show for the crowd of
over 3,800 against: the
Rochester Americans.
_ Returning to the Rats were
defensemen Ken Sutton, Sergei
of scoreless games by scoring a
touchdown with only 2:08
remaining in the fourth quarter
of their 7-44 defeat.
UA followed the big win
over Atlantic Division rival
C.W. Post with another very
strong performance against the
Merrimack Warriors in a 42-3
win. Another early start for the
offense in that contest has the
Danes outscoring opponents in
the last four first quarters an
amazing 92-0 and continuing a
streak of 40+ point games that
is now at four.
The combination of both
games brought Dan Gmelin
several honors that will have
his name at the top of a number
of Albany records for some
time. He grabbed the top spot
in receptions and receiving
yards and tied another standard
with his fifth career 100-yard
receiving game. He eclipsed or
tied Andy Shein in each of
these categories and also went
over the 2000 career all-pur-
pose yards mark, becoming
Albany’s 14th player to do so.
The game last saturday
against Merrimack set the stage
for quarterback Joe Savino, the
school’s total offense and pass-
ing leader, to set his 16th
Vyshedkevich, captain Geordie
Kinnear, and associate captain
Bryan Helmer. Joining them
were forwards Jeff Williams,
Vadim Sharifijanov, Steve
Brule, Eric Bertrand, Bobby
House, and Zdenek Skorepa.
Peter Sidorkiewicz was once
again back between the pipes.
Fresh faces included last
year’stop college player and
Hobey Baker Award winner,
center Brendan Morrison from
the University of Michigan.
Also from Michigan came cen-
ter John Madden.

school record. He moved by
Pat Ryder in career TD’s, pass-
ing his mark of 55 with a four
touchdown performance. Of
his four scores, two were rush-
ing TD’s and two were done
through the air.
A glance at the scores of
UA’s last four wins should dis-
play that the offense has been
explosive and nearly unstop-
pable, and that the defense has
been equally strong. Some
examples of individual efforts
leading to the total defensive
team domination could be seen
in each of the last two games.
The game against C.W. Post
saw the Danes force six
turnovers, record seven sacks,
and limit the Pioneers to 34 net
rushing yards. Rover back Greg
Green had his best day in a UA
uniform with eight tackles,
including two sacks, two forced
fumbles, and one fumble recov-
ery. In the same game,
linebacker Mike Grever added
seven hits and recorded a fum-
ble, and defensive tackle Chris
Wilgosz caused three fumbles
and had one sack. Linebacker
Schree Lewis recorder nine
tackles against the Pioneers and
recovered three fumbles, one
which he returned twelve yards

Albany. Veteran NHL center-
man Peter Zezel was sent to
Albany pending a potential
trade. From juniors came
QMJHL defenseman Colin
White, OHL defenseman Paul
Traynor, and OHL center
Richard Rochefort. Left winger
Jiri Bicek hails from Slovakia,
and netman Judd Lambert joins
the Rats from the University of
Colorado.
Rochester also brought a
much different team from last
year with eleven new skaters,
and two new goaltenders.
Both teams were very young,
and the game certainly had
more than its share of prob-
lems. Fast paced it was not.
Timing and focus were severe-
ly off on both sides, and neither
organization was solid or uni-
fied as a team. But, this is to be
expected. Exasperating, but
- expected.
The Rats outshot the Amerks
40-22, but still lost 2-1. Peter
Zezel scored Albany’s only
goal on a power play in the
first, when he deflected Ken
Sutton’s shot from the point.
Rookie Martin Menard, and
veteran Dane Jackson scored
for Rochester. The Amerks’
offense seemed more together
than the Rats, and their defense
was on top of its game. New
goaltender Mike Bales from the
Basketball
Marv Albert loses his job, and perhaps a
lot more — page 23
for a score. This effort gained
Lewis some attention, as he
was chosen the Eastern Colle-
giate Athletic Conference Divi-
sion II Player of the Week, and
his season tackle total has
moved to 29, a team high, with
18 of them being solo take-
- downs.
In the Merrimack game,
Mike Grever had a season-best
14 tackles and picked off his
first pass since his move to the
linebacker position from full-
back last spring. Defensive
tackle Peter London had a sea-
son-high eight tackles, and cor-
nerback Troy Rhett posted his
second career interception
return for a touchdown.
Our Danes look to continue
their impressive winning ways
against the Setters from Pace
tomorrow at 1:00 in Pleas-.
antville. The Setters pose as
opponents with a defense
strong against the pass and effi-
cient in causing turnovers.
They also possess a talented
quarterback, who will combine
with the strong defense to pre-
sent a new challenge for the
Albany team which has been so
dominant of late.

former Baltimore Bandits (now
the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks)
was spectacular, and earned the
game’s first star. Considering
this team is also quite green,
they should be amazing
once they come together.
The Rats. on the other hand,
refused to pick up their
rebounds throughout the night,
and had trouble keeping up
with the game’s pace. Fore-
checking seemed a foreign con-
cept, and puck control was
impossible. Morrison, the
most hyped rookie, has yet to
flare, and still played as ner-
vously as coach Cuniff said he
did in the pre-season games.
But, all is not horrible. They
did shutout Hamilton, after all.
When the Rats headed to Syra-
cuse on Sunday, they opened
up with a 4-0 lead, scoring in
the first seven seconds of play.
More like the Rats we’re used
too? Not really. They blew it
and were lucky to escape with
a 5-5 tie, and a 1-1-1 record.
There is an awful lot of
potential on this team, and they
can hardly be crucified for
early season mistakes. White
should be an even more physi-
cal defenseman than Sheldon
Souray was last year. Madden
is exhibiting a lot of talent, and
Horrison scored his first pro-
fessional goal in the Syracuse
game. He should be superb
once he relaxes, and a real
asset to the team.
-Lakovic is always exciting,
whether fighting or playing -
he does both exceptionally
well. Bicek is high on Cuniff’s
list and should be one to watch
once he returns from injury.
Once this team comes
together, they should exhibit a
vast amount of talent, with
depth behind them. They are
sure to be on top again this
year, and will be looking to
bring the Calder Cup back to
Albany at season’s end. ©
