Stickmen stage fourth quarter rally to top Siena

By Mark Wilgard

SHuhNarrEn
The Albany State lacrosse team rallied
from deficits of 5-0 and 8-4 and defeated the
Siena Indians by a score of 12-9 last Friday
aflernoon on University Field. The Danes
now have a 3-0 record heading into today’s
‘game against nationally ranked Cortland
It was a big win for us", remarked
Albany Head Coach Gary Campbell. “If we
‘want to be in the national picture, we had 10
have this win,” Siena isa Division 1 tea

Albany was led by Rick Trizano, who had
four goals and one assist, and Dave Cerny,
who recorded the double hat trick in netting
three goals and three assists, Alan Cornfield
played well in goal as he turned aside 20 Siena
shots

The Danes started the game the same way
they began their two previous matche:

id tentative, The Indians capitalized on
several Albany mistakes and walked away
with a $-0 lead after the first quarter. Camp.
bell noted,**Sicna has some real yood sticks,
and they took advantage of our slow start
We didn’t come out ready to play and found
‘ourselves down $-0,""

Trizano broke the ice in the second quarter
with two goals sandwiched around a Siena
tally, Don Casadonte and John Noftis netted
late period goals, as the Danes fought back
and only trailed 6-4,

“The second quarter showed that we could
play with them,"’ stated Campbell. We
knew we weren't five goals worse than
them,

‘The second half belonged to Albany. Ac-
cording to Campbell, it was Trizano ‘who
took matters into his own hands. He got the

groundballs, put Siena guys on their backs,
and cranked the ball in the goal." After the
Indians scored twice midway through the
third quarter, Trizano netted his third goal of
the day at 11:22 10 make it 8-5, Rich Starace’s
goal at 13:15 gave the Danes the momentum
they needed leading into the final stanza,

Cerny came alive in that fourth quarter
and scored all of his goals, Trizano,
Casadonte and Bob Venier also tallied as
Albany pulled away to a 12-9 victory, Camp-
bell was happy with the play of Cerny.
“Siena had their two best defensemen on
Casadonte_and_Venicr,"* said Campbell,

ED MARUSSICH UPS

The lacrosse team upped the record to 3-0 with a 12-9 victory over Division | Siena,

“but Dave is every bit as good as they are. He
took their worst defenseman and had him for
lunch,"

A key in the game for Albany was the fact
that they were running four midfielders while
Siena was running only two, The Indians had
to utlilize their two second half time-outs ear-
ly in the half in order to get their middies
some well needed rest When the game was
turning around in Albany’s favor in. the

and back on track because “we had to de-
pend on running people into the ground,’
stated Campbell

The Danes host Cortland today at 3:30,
and Campbell hopes his tcam plays as well in
the first half as they have been playing in the
second half, "We don't want to. label
ourselves as a second half team," said Camp-
bell, “We would like to play four good
quarters, but no one is going to beat us in the
fourth quarter.

Today's game against the Red Dragons will
be a real test for the Danes. Campbell noted,
“This game will show a lot on where we
stand, We'll know how we stand nationally,
and if we can get into the playoffs, If we
ome up with a good showing, we'll be
okay

Bellow kicks off Writer’s
Institute to packed crowd

By Rick Swanson

SAE WRITER

Distinguished writer and Nobel Prize
winner Saul Bellow formally launched the
SUNYA Writers Institute at Albany
Thursday night with a lecture entitled
“The Writer and the World,"

“Writers and criminals have much in
common,” said Bellow, because like
lawles criminals, the fantasies of writers
are also lawless, that is, without bounds,

Speaking before a standing room only
crowd in the Campus Center Ballroom,
Rellow suggested that a writer's world is a
solitary one, removed from the rest of the
world, ‘Ht is a great strain to become like
others who lead normal lives," he said
referring to what he considers the
unrestrained, or *lawless"” imagination of
writers,

‘Writers spend a lot of time alone- a
writer is a solitary beast,"” said Bellow. He
asserted that although his work has been
widely acclaimed throughout the world,
he is comfortable by himself,

Bellow began his speech by reading a
portion of his soon to be released book
titled Him With His Foot in His Mouth,
He then answered questions from a panel
of professors trom SUNYA's English
Department,

The panel consisted of SUNYA pro-
fessors William Kennedy and Sarah
Cohen, as well as associate director of the
Writers Institute Tom Smith, Cohen, who
has followed Bellow's writings for the past
twenty years, has,written a biography on
him, Kennedy, a former student of

Bellow, was the recipient of the 1984
Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his recent
work ron weed.

Indicating that America is still a mehting
pot of different cultures, Bellow told the
audience that there are "Americans that
are aliens and al the same time aliens that
are Americans,”

“*Nationalistic ideas of pure culture are
historically untrue," said Bellow, He
pointed out that there is no such thing as a
typical American, rather, this is "a hybrid
world" and everyone's culture. makes
them slightly different,

Responding toa question from Ken-
nedy about the ‘noise or distractions of
the modern world, Bellow said that people
should try to see through the noise"? in
order 10 gel a better grip on reality,

“We give our souls 10 the outside
world,” said Bellow. But he also warned
less one is careful, one can be

ulated and “the world can do what

Bellow suggested that reading is a way
of spending time with yourself, and a way
to evade the “noise.” People must all try
(0 fight “the increasing dehumanization
of our world’ and develop their inner
selves more, he added,

Saul Bellow was born in Quebec and
later moved 10 Chicago. He received his
bachelor's degree in sociology and an-
thropology from Northwestern Universi
ly, He has published many books; his
most recent work is the Pulitzer Prize win-
ning Humboldt's Gift.

Division | sports possible under new proposal

By Jane Anderson
ASSOCIATE NES EDITOR

Student_governments SUNY-wide would
losecontroLof the funds for, intramural and
intercollegiate athletics, but could participate
in Division I sports, if the SUNY Board of
Trustees adopts a task force recommenda-
tion, The recommendation has, however,
been met with unified opposition from stu-
dent leaders who claim that the move is “an
administration power grab.””

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees
Wednesday, SUNY Chancellor Clifton
Wharton stressed that “specific aspects of
the proposal still require more work,"” and
added that no decision is likely to be made
until this is done,

The 27 members of the Student Life Task
Force, four of which are students, have pro-
posed that the student activity fee be lessened
by approximately 25 percent, and a separate
athletics fee be charged 10 cover the cost of
intramural and intercollegiate athletic pro-
grams.

Under the new proposal, the athletic
budget would be instituted by a “board of
athletic control."" Faculty and administrators
would comprise a majority on each campus
board, in order 10 comply with National Col-
legiate Athletics Association (NCAA)
guidelines, the Task Force report stated.

The proposal, if implemented, would per-
mit campuses 10 award athletic scholarships
not based on need, and could lead 10. a move
to NCAA Division I for some SUNY cam-
puses, possibly including SUNY.

Student Association of the State University
(SASU) President Jim Tierney stressed that
“students will fight this tooth and nail."
Tierney called the proposal “an administra-
tion power grab."

“1 don't fect that's the case at all,” said
‘Acting Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student
Affairs William Murabito, The Task Force
submitted a “reasonable recommendation
after deliberating,"" he explained,

Allocation of the athletic fee funds would
be handled by a “Board of Athictic
Control,"’ comprised of a minimum of 33
percent students and a minimum of $1 per-
cent faculty and administrators, the report
said.

The board of athletic conirol would have
the power to raise the athletics fee by 10 per-
cent cach year, according to the report,

Tierney expressed fears that an athletics fee
could lead (0 "fees for everything.”

“Nobody thinks wecan afford’ Division |
sports, maintained Tierney. He said that an
athletic fee controlled by the administration
would most likely go up, and added that a
school would need at cast $350 per student
each year to participate in Division 1
sports.Through the mandatory student ac-
tivity fee, each student currently pays ap-
proximately $25 per year to fund athletics.

Murabito said that there is no way to fund
Division 1 sports through the current or pro-
posed fee structures. ‘I would take a great
influx of money,”” he said.

Division 1 sports teams would be funded
through a combination of many different
sources, including tickel saley and media
coverage, explained Murabito,

Murabito stressed that if the new policy
was approved, ‘just a few campuses" would
move up to Division I sports, '*90 percent of
the campuses will stay just the way they are,"
he declared,

Each campus will decide for themselves
whether they will sponsor Division 1 teams,
said Murabito,

that SUNYA would be a
candida ison I sports because OF its
location and the proposed building of a new

The Task Force recommended changing
the Board of Trusices policy to allow
“grants-in-aid based primarily on a student's
athletic abitity,”* according to the report.

should a needy student be forced 10 sub-
sidize a non-needy siudeni’s education?"
asked Tierney.

Tierney called the proposal a “band-aid
solution” to mask cuts in faculty and
resources" in the SUNY system. He asserted
that programs such as health services and
women's safely should be higher priorities
for SUNY, rather than big time athletics."

Tierney, who is a full voting member of the
Board of Trustees, said that he has the sup-
Port of student leaders SUNY-wide, as well
as many of the 13 Board members,

Murabito said that Board opinion on the
issue was “difficult to assess." He said that
many SUNY athletic directors supported the
idea,

Tierney said the recommendation was a
response to pressure from certain legislators,
and some SUNY presidents, coaches and
alumni,

The Task Force report stated that the pre-
sent SUNY policy is not in compliance with
NCAA guidelines, Tierney maintained that

the policy does comply with NCAA
guidelines.

The Task Force cited abuses in the present
athletics program, said Tierney, but he con-
tended that the report didn't mention ‘any
pecific abuses,"

“Abuses don't exist,”" maintained Tierney.

The SUNY Graduate Student
Employees Union (GSEU), following a
recommendation in March from the
GSEU Affiliation Committee, voted in
favor of becoming affiliated with the
Communications Workers of America
(CWA), according 10 GSEU member
Connie LaPorta,

The vote was held on Wednesday and
Thursday in the Campus Center and
Draper Hall at SUNYA, as well as at the

the votes at other schools were also in sup-

The GSEU is a SUNY-wide organiza-
tion which represents the 3500-4000

throughout the SUNY system.

According 10 Mark Peititt, a GSEU
statewide organizer, GSEU is secking af-
fitiation because “it’s good to have the
support of a larger union, The CWA has
experience and can offer us financial suj
port and the best background training,"

The political influence of a larger union
is also very important, Pettitt said, "We
want more bargaining power with the
state," LaPorta added,

‘When asked why the CWA was chosen,
Pettitt said, ‘We talked with four dif-
ferent unions, and chose the CWA
because we felt it was the best run union

Duncan ordered the students to pay March rent, but
also granted them partial rent abatement for the first

Duncan determined that the “warranty of

In addition, Sanghi’s warrant of eviction was set

“Although the lack of heat was not so drastic as to

Of rail travelers but now the granite

According to a report in the
Albany Times Union State and
Bank officials unveiled the plans
for the station's rebirth at a press
conference at the station on Broad-
way on April 11, The renovations

are expected to cost cight million
dollars and take one and a half

cost of the project 10 cight and a

Researchers find sexual
fantasies commonplace

By Ilene Weinstein

The average person engages in
seven or eight sexual fantasies a
day, but some people have as many
as 40 or even more, according to
Psychology Professor David
Barlow.

Barlow, who is the co-director
for the Clinic for Stress ad Anxiety
Disorders, emphasized that
are only rough estimates.
asserted that some sexual thoughts
included in this approximation are
not “full-blown" and last only a
few seconds,

Most people who engage in sex-
ual thoughts are normal, said
Barlow. “All people have differ

fantasies is very high, and
sometimes sexual thoughts’ are a
constant obsession throughout the
day. Barlow said he believes that if
someone has a recurrent fantasy 70
to 80 percent of the time, he or she
will act on it,

The content of fantasies does not
make them abnormal, Barlow said,
adding that Masters and Johnson,
the leading researchers on sexual
behavior, studied both homosexual
and heterosexuals’ and heterosex-
uals? sexual thoughts.

It used to be that a heterosexual
who had a homosexual fantasy
would be diagnosed as a latent
homosexual,"" he said. Today, it is
considered “perfectly normal" for
heterosexuals to have homosexual
fantasies and vice versa.

However, this type of fantasy is
uncommon, asserted Bartlow.
“The are accidental,” he said, and
added that these thoughts can be
triggered by movies or suggestions,

Barlow also researched the sexual
fantasies sexual deviants for the
Sexuality Research Program, a
branch of the clinic that he heads,
Subjects were referred to the clini
for study and assessment by mental
health professionals according 10
Barlow.

The clinic does have a treatment
program for sex offenders, and
sometimes refer its patients to the
New York Site Psychiatire In-
stitute at Columbia University,
which is closing down this summer

“There are few treatment in the
correctional system or outside it for
sex offenders," Barlow said.

Barlow and his staff are currently
studying the problems of male im-
potence and female sexual dysfune-
tion, he said, Barlow said the clinic
works primarily to decide if a pro-
bleim is psychological or physical, or
some combination of both.

The psychological causes vary
greatly among both men and
women, Barlow explained, but the
factors that maintain impotence are
more specific, Men who are impo:
tent will focus on other things
rather than sexu during
lovemaking, he said, addi
ininds will jump from one
another, not all of them sexu

Among women, the predominant
factors are stressful
periences involving sex
attitudes concerning sex.

Organie factors: mainiaini
potence range for both
women from side effects of various
medications, anti
hypertensive drugs, to a hidden
vascular insufficiency, whieh
prevents blood from flowing 10 the
genitals, explained Barlow

The patients, who range in age
from 30 (0 60, are referred 10 the
clinic by private physicians, usually
urologists, Control subjects are,
also, used, according to Dan
‘Abrahamson, the Chief Graduate
Student on staff, to compare the
difference in subjective and
physical arousal. SUNYA students
have been used as control subjects
for several semesters, Abrahamson
said.

Patients, Barlow said, are given
physical exams, detaild interviews,
psychological and physiological
testing of sexual responses to arrive
al accurate assessments of their pro-
lems.

Hardware and equipment are im-
portant in data collection, explain-
ed Abrahamson, Strain gauges and
polygraphs are used 10 record dif-
ferent body responses, he said,

Success rates in curing impotence
vary greatly depending on the pro-
blem, said Barlow, adding that the
ratio’ reported by Masters and
Johnson are exaggerated, While
Masters and Johnson have reported
a rate of about 75 percent, the
figures “are more like 40 10 $0 per-
cent," he said,

The city, according to the article,
will further contribute to the
renewal of the area by building a
park across the street from the
building's entrance, Whalen said
that plans for the park have not yet
been formulated,

{AP)Out-of-state students of the State
University of New York are expected to pay
$530 more for tuition in the next school year
as a result of actions taken by SUNY
trustees.

The Board of Trustees on Wednesday
directed Chancellor Clifton Wharton to
Prepare the revised tuition and fee schedules
and to raise dormitory rates by $150 a yei

Final action on the tuition and dorm rates
by the board is not expected until June, and
the new fees would take effect starting the
fall semesters of the SUNY campuses. Fee
hikes must first by published in the state's of-
ficial register before the board may formally
act

No tuition increases were proposed for

undergraduate or graduate programs at
SUNY's 29 state-operated campuses.

SA-AV may be sold

The university is planning to buy Student
Association's audio-visual equipment, accor-

New York state residents attending '

Negotiations were discussed recently, and
the university cited the purchase to enable
them to “fix up" the Performing Arts
Center, said Barsky.

“Once the university goes through the pro-
er state offices to finalize the transaction,
and providing no unforscen difficulties, the
university will plan to buy the equipment,
Barsky added,

damenially essential 10 our way of
life. These institutions cannot be
tampered with,” he said.

Schootman explained that it is
more a question of to what degree
socialism can be admitted. He
argued that it can be beneficial to
introduce some aspects or socialsim
10 our society. “Socialism can be
used (0 pirrge capitalism of some of
its negative features,” explained
Schoolman,

Schoolman also argued that one
of the fundamental differences
separating capitalism and socialism
was the issue of private property.
Schoolman argued that the reason
why private property is an essential
institution of capitalism is that it is

mportant in our development of
“the self."

Private property and private
ownership establish boundaries bet-
ween the individual and the state

rights," Schoolman said. "A socie
ty which encourages private proper:
ty encourages the individual to
idemity: possessions with self, The
self shouldn't belong to another

“should be used to mitigate the har-
shes realities. of capitalism, but
should not tamper with its fun
damental institutions, We can
mit socialism at the periphery, as
Jong as capitalism remains at the
core,

Following the introductory

statements from both sides of the
panel, debate between panel
members and questions from the
audience were allowed

Questions focused on the
socialists, asking how society would
be affected and changed under a
socialist form of government. Ques-
tions asked of the capitalists focus-
ed on. justifying the exploitive
aspect of capitalism, and its em:
phasis on greed and competition.

Birn answered that socialism
would aid society by increasing
equality and allowing for greater
social participation in politics
“Socialism would break down the
decisions we are making
their basis. We can hi

sds are not

In response to a question regar-
ding exploitation of the Third
World nations by capitalists,
Schoolman asserted that this is a
tradeoff we are forced to make in a
capitalistic society. "11 is a notion
we have to five with" Schoolman

id, “We all have Exxon credit
cards, of loans with banks that are
lending money to count

In response to the same question,
Birn asserted that it is. question of
making a decision that we are com-
fortable with, “There is the theory
that the pie is getting bigger, and
the question we must ask ourselves

Political experts debate
socialist, capitalist ideals

By Aileen Brown
STMPE WAITER
Capitalism, not socialism, is incompatible
with democracy, according to SUNYA
Political Science Professor Bruce Miroff.
Miroff participated in a forum Wednesday
night which pitied professors defending the
“freedom” of capitalism against those pro-
moting the “democracy” of socialism,
The forum, which was sponsored by the
sts of Am
by group member Brian

socialist government
‘Socialism to me is a method to back

democracy" Birn be "I'm concerned
with increasing freedom, not in an esoteric
sense, but in the very real sense in which we
understand freedom to mean today."”

Birn went on to explain the backgrounds
of socialism, and how
developed the idea and theory of socialism,
According to Birn, there are wo basic no-
tions of socialism which were indicated by
two major revolutions, the French Re
tion, and the Industrial Revolution,
French Revolution was a battle for freed

with the inpact of these two revolutions.

Birn ended his initial statement by stressing
the impact and effects socialism has on socie~
ty. He emphasized the benefits to be derived
from a socialist form of gavernment- the in-
creased freedom of choice in cer
greater ability to plan government,
benefits for a greater number of people.

“We have to see socialism as an exter
of democracy" Birn stated, "Socialism can
extend democracy while keeping democra
freedoms. There is a choice before us in the
next century, and we have to ask ourselves if
the choices we make are ones that will in-
crease our freedom and enhance our lives.
Socialism, like democracy, is the appropriate
response for the century aticad."*

‘Speaking in opposition to Birn was History

c ichard Kendall, Ken-
dall defended capitalism in terms of the op-
portunity it offers, Kendall based his theory
defending capitalism on the adage “if it ain't
broke, don’t fix it," saying that capitalism
had worked for our society successfully in the
past

'm primarily interested in freedom,"
Kendall began, “freedom, and mobility.
America is a place of mobility, you can start
at the bottom and move up. In terms of
freedom and mobility, this society has pro-
vided a great deal of both. These are primari-
ly economic questions, but most of them are
also part of a larger social and political
culture.”

Kendall also talked about capitalism and
society saying that capitalism is an important
‘outlet for social energy. ‘It seems to me that

to the system and our

ning that capitalism is com-

‘0 me, competition is important. It

produces better goods and service, and
‘enables us to give vent to our energies. This

provides for a healthier socicty,"" he explain-
ed,

In terms of the future, Kendall cautioned
that we should learn from our mistakes and
proceed slowly. ‘In looking ahead, 1 think
we should proceed cautiously, and very slow-
ly. Any adjustments we make should be
made slowly and with caution," he said also,

Miroff advocated social
ties i

There is a strong relationship between
capitalism, socialism and democracy" Mirolf
said. “To link socialism with demoera
c d unusual, odd, Most Americans
equate socialism with undemocratic and
authoritative rule, It is not. It is also not

Capitalism was once compatible with
democracy, when it used to be small scale
and genuinely competitive, with numerous
goods,”*

Miroff asserted that capitalism as a com-
petitive systerm no longer exists, that it has
been replaced by a non-competitive form of
corporate capitalism, “We now have a
system of corporate capitalism,” Miroff

1 is dominated by large corporate entities
which have a stranglehold over democracy,"
he explained. ‘Corporations in America en-
joy a privileged position in both business and
politics. Corporations in our society make
the critical decisions, Our modern govern-
ment is forced to be solicitors of the cor
porate sector," said Miroff,

Miroff said that not only docs business
have a structural bias in society, it also con-
trols society in indirect ways by contributing
to campaigns, lobbying and controlling the
mass media, It is this domination of business,
said Miroff, that prevents capitalism from
being democratic, since the people's interests
fare not primary.

“The key problem is that the primary
questions of society such as work life,
technology, distribtion of income, wealth
and property are not part of the public a

under capitalism’’ Miroff said,

ialism daces not allow these decisions
10 be made by the people."

iroff concluded his introductory state-
ment by advocating Democratic Socialism in
response 10 the problems of government and
scoiety today, "Democratic Socialism is tak-
ing the idea of democracy seriously," he said.
“IL is mot a regime to control everything, it is
a way to open up deomeracy in all areas
where it has been driven out. It is taking
public control over investment decisions out
of the hands of the capitalist elite. It is new
forms of economic life such as cooperatives
and employce ownership of the means of
production. It is more freedom, more equal
rights,"” Miroff contended.

To conclude the introductory statements,
Political Science Professor Morton
Schoolman argued for the Capitalists side.
Schoolman said that the debate is not bet-
ween capitalism and socialism, it is a chance
to break away from the dichotomy beiween
the (wo theories.

jocialism and capitalism can be
assimilaied,"* Schoolman asserted. “It is im-
perative, however, that we retain the pra

_ Life after Mayfest

‘ext week there will be a special runoff

election for SA president between Rich

Schaffer and Tim Hallock, The turnout
at the first election was ridiculously low, and
tunoffs are known to be even worse, If peo-
ple don't take an interest and turn out to
vote, the big victory will go to apathy and
disenchantment, and the big losers will be the
students,

SA affects every aspect of life on campus.
Almost $1 million of our mandatory student
activity fee goes into the SA budget. This
money finds over 80 student groups, from
‘WCDB and Concert Board to ASUBA JSC-

COLUMN

Hillel and Middle Earth, It also goes to fun-
ding intercollegiate athletics. SA is the avenue
for almost all student activities, and the presi-
dent is the person in charge of it.

Aside from heading SA, the president is the
leading student representative and advocate.
In this role s/he works on issues ranging from
alcohol policy, bus fee, women’s safety and
dorm robberies to fighting against tuition
hikes and for polling places on campus,
There is hardly any area of our lives that goes
unaffected by the work of the SA president.

Yet over four-fifths of us did not bother to

step off the dinner lines or into the campus
center and cast a vote for who will lead our
pervasive student government next year,

As always, SA has had its share of political
problems this year. Many people see ‘‘peity
politics’’ or ‘student apathy” on campus and
turn away in cynicism. But the solution, like
the problem, begins with us, and there is no
better place to start than in the ballot box.

Listen to the candidates, find out where

they stand. Talk to people. And cast a vote.
There is life on this campus after ‘*Mayfest,””
Be a part of it!

Defining our_national interest

Human suffering, As a result of political conflicts such
suffering has become an everday reality, In many instances
our nation, the United States of America, has played a role,
often an important role, in the suffering brought about by
these conflicts, How we are concerned says a lot about (he
potential outcome for foreign cultures, often we define our
involvement in terms of our “interests."’ Just what our “in-
lerests'? are has been a dormant question with an ev
answer.

[ Alexander F. Ross

We who hold tHe concept of democracy sacred often turn
our face to nations that admire our system and wish 10
become democracies. Instead of taking the time 10 forge
strong allies and strong democratic nations,
tunities and rights we possess, we support regimes who in
turn will support our ‘‘interests."* Often, this means not a
democratic structure but individual rulers, and dictators.
Moreover, while our nation indeed benefits from the cheap
labor and raw materials of other nations, the people native to
those lands go uneducated, malnourished and often risk their
lives if they protest these conditions, In many instances our
constitutional laws which provide the cornerstone of our
domestic democracy are disregarded in the foreign policy and
practice of our government. Frequently, our government
takes these nonhumanitarian, nondemocratic actions, in the
name of our national “‘interest,'" in the name of the domestic
Practice we value so dearly.

Examples of these phenomena are many, but some are in
need of immediate review. As the American public remains
on the sideline, unaware of our government's activities, peo-
ple in countries on every continent are living under op-
pressive systems and conditions, South Africa, for example.
How have we helped influence representational democracy?
South Africa enjoys a strategic location on the African conti-
nent with rich natural resources, a strong distaste for com-
munism, and a large segregated black population whom the
white minority exploits, We are one of the very few nations
which support South Africa: can we limit our democratic

ples to our internal policy?

Up until this spring our current government was directly
involved with Lebanon's civil war. Our president and his
secretary of state told the American public that the reason
our youth were positioned in Lebanon was to preserve the
current Lebanse government and to serve our “interests.” It
subsequently became apparent that the Christian minority
would lose power in the future, We pulled out of there teav-
Ing over 200 American dead, without a political solution, and
without a peace for the people of Lebanon,

Currently, we are deeply involved in the internal affairs of
many nations in Central America none of which send
military oF political advisors to our nation to solve our inter-
nal problems, America has, for over 60 years, exploited Cen-
tral America, We have done so with corporations and by im-
planting dictators and giving aid in a fashion that preserves
our “interests!” but not benefitting the poople in any exten-
sive manner, Our ideas for creating democracy in Central
‘America have only led to the financial betterment of a few
companies and individuals, There are few countries in the
area working democracies; we must understand the
crucial role American governments have played throughout
the twentieth century in forcing the revolutions and civil wars
in progress today.

‘We have had our chance to help form democracies, yet we
have not taken the opportunity to do this. Our government
claims that the communists are suppressing the demo
processes there, It is not because the people of Nicaragua, El
Salvador or Guatemala want totalitarian governments, since
they have been living that way for decades. The people expect
the democracy their leaders have promised them, the
democracy our government in America pledged 10 create, We

should not be so quick as 10 label Nicaragua’s government as
communist; can there only be wo possibilities — com-
munistic or democratic? With what type of government were
they living under before the revolution? It was dictatorship,
whole-heartedly supported by the American government.

‘The way our government has dealt with the successful and
popular revolution in Nicaragua has been with military
counterattacks. We have refused 1o negotiate; we have refus
ed to listen to the rest of the world. The political initiatives of
the Contadora group, consisting of countries within the
region, have been ignored by our government. The po:
ty of ruling from the world court have recently been
disregarded beforehand by our president. The first action
will certainly bewilder the Central American nations that
strive (0 attain our democratic values. The second will be a
sign to the rest of the world that we view Central America im-
perialistically, as ours 10 deal with as we see fit. However, the
Fest of the world és concerned, and does not necessarily sce
the changes in Nicaragua as communistic but rather as an at-
tempt at undoing years of inequality and exploitation,

Our government has centered all its efforts on changing
Nicaragua with force, yet the people of Nicaragua will fight
for their new opportunity at democracy. It will take more
soldiers than the Contras can mass to overthrow the current
government. The most likely allies in such a war manoever
would be Honduras and the United States, In the end we
would probably attain our goal, the securing of our ‘‘in-
lerests."” Mullitudes of Nicaraguans, Americans and other
peoples would die, We would risk international repercus-
sions, and it is questionable if democracy as we believe in
America would be implimented.

We are afraid that the model of Nicaragua will spread 10
‘other Central American nations, that communism will take
hold so close to our own soil. We should not use the mask of
communism as our excuse for subversion of Central
America’s freedom to choose its own direction. For, if we
had offered these nations to our south the same democrac
we offer our own citizens, there would be no communistic
threat, Instead many in El Salvador are waging a strong bat-

tle for change, and they do not appear to be fading away in
the near future. There was a political problem in Guatemala
which has been dealt with by force. The Indians who wanted
change have been all but killed off. American-backed di
tators with American arms and American military advisors
stopped the pleas for change. i was done in a cr
nondemocratic manner and it served our government's “in
terests."*

The Central Intelligence Agency has supervised the laying
of mines by Contras in Nicaraguan harbors, keeping this ac
tivity covert, The president defended the action as a pro-
hibitive measure to stop the shipping of arms by Nicaragua
to El Salvador. The three ports mined have little involvemen
with the shipment of arms. There is one body of watet that
could be used by Nicaragua for such activity, the Gull of
Fonseca. It was not mined. The Contras with the direct aid of
the CIA are moving from Costa Rica through the southern
border of Nicaragua and taking small areas in that region.
This in turn, will force Nicaragua to defend its territory
Possibly soon there will be a heated battle and America with
its weapons and young people will be there to defend out
“‘interests,"” as we did in VietNam and Lebanon.

It is time young people asked what our “interests” are in

When I was younger, say about seven, | used to want to be Peter Pan. Now
I'm nineteen, and most of the time I want tobe John Keenan, but there are times
— midterms, finals, tuition, pre-registration, and especially when the stat

“the stat machine is busted” Is just another way of saying “I'm screwed”) —
when I feel a small. guilty twinge inside of me that wants to be Peter Pan again
No heavy tuition bills, no term papers, just Captain Hook and the Indians.

But there's one phrase. as I get older, that begins to bother me more and
more; Think seriously.

You're an adult, John. Think seriously:

You have to think seriously about a job for the summer. because unless you

Searching For Spock In Star Trek III

by Ian Spelling

1 the arinals of television history
there have been only a handful of
programs able to completely cap-

tivate and enrapture a viewing au-

dience, Included on this list of
luminaries are | Love Lucy, The

Twilight Zone, Bonanza, The Honey:

mooners, and Star Trek

Lucille Ball, :Rod Serling, Lorne
Greene, and Jackie Gleason singularly
enjoyed the success of their respective
shows and reaped the benefits which
are Inherent with popularity, This was
not the case for the crew of the Enter
prise, They were a group of performers
working in unison, an ensemble, Cer
tainly, Willlam Shatner and Leonard

Nimoy firmly grasped the leads, but

subtract James Doohan, DeForest Kel-

ly, George Takel, Walter Koenig, and

adventare in space on Star Trek."

The headstrong fans won! Star Trek
lived! Unfortunately, with the June 3,
1969 airing. of the episode Turnabout
Intruder, Star Trek faded into Nielson
ratings oblivion and vanished from the
screen, Drained from the first effort to
rescue the program, the organizers of
the letter-writing campaign were either
too weary or too involved with other
things to launch another. The show was
not to return again. Or was it?

What soon followed presented the
television establishment and especially
the NBC hierarchy with an un
precedented phenomenon, Star Trek
actually gained momentum and
popularity in syndication, It was
defeating first-run, major network fare
in the all-important ratings. Star Trek

Nimoy, the legendary Vulcan, Mr.
Spock, would not be beaming up to the
Enterprise to join his mates for their
latest adventures, The Broadway show’
EQUUS ‘required Nimoy's constant
presence. Producer Gene Roddenberry
develped a new character named
Lieutenant Xon (pronounced Zon),
another Vulcan, to fill the gap left by
Nimoy's untimely departure

On November 21, 1977, just eight
days before production of Star Trek Il,
the television series, was to comm-
mence, Paramount halted everything:
The top brass apparently recognized the
dollar signs suspended among the
planets, satellites, and starships roaming
the universe of science fiction fantasy.
With Star Wars and Close Encounters
leading the way, Star Trek would at-
tempt to cash in on the sci-fi film band-

steep hundred million just to break
even. Incredibly enough, that number
was reached and quickly surpassed
Star Trek's world-wide popularity enabl-
ed it to jump from deep in the red to
in the black

* mount knew it sill owned the
tigi, 1o a red-hot commodity and also
that they owed loyal fans something
better. In 1982 Star Trek Il - The Wrath
of Khan swept across the screens of
America. Finally, the patient fans had
something they could proudly call their
own: a wonderful story enhanced by
uniformly solid and sympathatic perfor
mances and several bittersweet ironies.
Fantasy Island's insipid Mr, Rourke
transformed into the vengeful
superhuman rogue, Khan. Ricardo
Maltalban magnificently reprised Khan
from his role in the episode Space Seed
(February 16, 1967)

Leonard Nimoy has said, “the most
important thing | can tell you about Star
Trek Ill is that its a very powerful story
about friendship and what friends will
do for each other

“This film goes to the very heart of
the relationship of these people - Kirk,
Scotty, Sulu, McCoy, Chekov, and
Uhura...all of them... will be asked to
make sacrifices in the hope that they
can help the man who was their friend,”

Concerning whether or not Spock is
indeed alive, Nimoy has said “we are
not discussingsthe question of whether
or not Spock returns in the film, or even
if we find him, what form he may take
The title suggests something. It suggests
that there is something about Spock's
condition,”

Since the first episode, The Man Trap
(Sept. 8, 1966). Star Trek has spawned

Little War, And fantasy fanciers fancy
Shoreleave, an episode which com:
bines all of the elements that make Star
Trek a classic, even eighteen years after
its inception.

Logically, Star Trek will continue in
syndication and hopefully on. film:
Whether or not a Star Trek IV is in the
offing will not be known for a while.
Walter Koenig insists that there will be
another, with production commencing
as early as June 1984. This Is quite
unlikely, although a fourth picture Is be-
ing considered, Leonard Nimoy is kick:
ing around script ideas and has offered
his services as director again. Even if a
Star Trek IV does not come to pass, the
show and iis ensuing motion pictures’

would lose much of iis luster, Not until
long after the demise of the original
serles did the members of the cast
secure proper recognition or even their
renumeration

When Star Trek was threatened with
cancellation (after two years on the ait)
a massive letter-writing campaign saved
the show. On March 1, 1968 Para:
mount Studios proudy added the
following message to the credits of the
season's finale: "And now an an-
nouncement of interest to all viewers of

thot Star Trek will continue to be seen

{ts cancellation than most serles receive
at the height of their popularity

Beginning in 1973, conventions, with
cast members as guest speakers, culled
a new generation of fans. Twenty-two
half hour episodes of an animated Star
Trek thrilled audiences: However, the
cartoons suffered the same fate as the
series, The ultimate death blow turned
out to be a posthumous Emmy. It seems
that any show worthy of being watched
disappears, leaving only an Emmy on
the producer's desk to show for his
endeavors,

Years later, Paramount stunned the
world by announcing that Star Trek
would return as a series. Leonard

television show, then a low budget pic-
ture, then a middle budget televison
film, back to a series, and finally a major
motion picture with a multimillion dollar
budget. The final decision to produce
Star Trek - The Motion Picture came as
a suprise to the cast

Star Trek - The Motion Picture
boasted no script, no director, and most
importantly, no Mr, Spock. Writers fill:
ed reams of paper with proposed plot
outlines. Names of possible directors
abounded; Steven Spielberg. George
Lucas, George Roy Hill, Francis Ford
Coppola. Robert Wise, and William
Friedkin among them. And still, no
Spock

Then came a day which many fans
were not soon to forget. On March 28,
1978 a press conference took place. At
this meeting Robert Wise (The An-
dromeda Strain, The Day the Earth
Stood Still) entered the twilight zone of
media history, He had signed on to
direct the 15 million dollar production of
Star Trek - The Motion Picture. Wise
became the man who controlled the
destiny of one of America's favorite
pastimes, quite a large responsibility
even for a director of Wise's stature

More important to the fans of Star
Trek, Leonard Nimoy attended the con-
ference. He had signed a contract the
previous afternoon, Said Nimoy. "I cer-
tainly wouldn't want anybody else to
play Spock, or Star Trek happening
without Spock.” Spock had not yet
been written into the script; in fact, Star
Trek - The Motion Picture still lacked a
script. Many were to joke that the film
never found one.

On January 26, 1979, after 125
days. principal photography ended
Special effects found their way onto the
celluloid later, after much haggling over
high costs. When the film debuted to a
critical lashing Paramount Studios shud-

tially lucrative future audience and
countless millions of dollars.

A somewhat disappointed legion of
faris nevertheless purchased tickets (wo

who could not get enough were the
saviors of the film, and, whether or not
they realize it, may have been the hand
that forced Paramount to clean up their
act and produce more quality Star Trek
fare. The film cost in the fifty million
dollar range, and needed to earn a

But the afotmentioned bitter ironies
frightened many of the faithful. Mr
Spock, who had seemed to wisen, even
mellow, and become more human than
ever, died. With the belief that the
needs of the many outweigh the needs
of the few, or even the one, Spock
perished saving the crew of the Enter
prise

Spock's lifeless body was placed in a
sarcophagus and jettisoned from #
starship. The film ended with the long,
shiny black coffin resting peacefully
among the foliage of the beautiful planet
inadvertently brought to life by Project
Genesis. (Genesis allowed inanim:
objects to live: it created life where th
was none before.)

Nicholas Meyer (who later directed
the controversial Day After) successfully
directed Star Trek I. but he would not
be back at the helm of the second s
quel. To the surprise of many. Leonard
Nimoy was signed to direct Star Trek III

felt that Nimoy agreed to appear in the
new film only if he were handed the
directorial reins. This may well be true.
but who better to direct? Nimoy's vast
knowledge of Star Trek lore is obvious.
Also, he has had some experience
directing (he directed an episode of
friend William Shatner's police drama
adventure series T.J. Hooker)

Mr. Spock shall return, although his
appearance will directly contrast
anything possibly imagined

Walter Koenig’s Chekov received the
largest. amount of screen time and
character depth he had ever been given
during The Wrath of Khan. In Star Trek
Ill, DeForest Kelly's Dr. “Bones” Mc
Coy will become the central focus of
Nimoy's cameras. Mark Lenard. who
played Spock's father, Sarek. on the
series. returns to aid the search for his
son. Christopher Lloyd (Reverend dim
on Taxi) disappears behind a face full of
makeup in his role as an evil Klingon.
James B. Sikking (Lt. Howard Hunter
on Hill Street Blues) has a small part as
a starship Commander. Expect to see
several other familiar faces in small roles
or quickie cameos and lots of
throwbacks to the series

According to a spokesman for Para:

B. the Clash had three albums out, and

describes the albums,"The Clash was

ground. ;

The Clash's fourth album was a three-
record set called Sandinista, At the time of its
1980 release, the popular rumor was that the
Clash had made Sandinista three records long
because they thought that it could get them
out of their record contract, which they were
supposedly unhappy with, and which called
for three more albums. According to Sirum-
mer, “We were playing mind games with the
record company. We put out London Calling
two for one (a two-record set). Bruce Springs-
teen called up Epic and said, ‘How come
those damn limeys can get t? Well, | demand
the same." So they sald all right to Bruce, so
he came out with The River, two for one. So
we said, all right, here's three for one: Get a
load of that, Bruce.”

With Sandinistsa, the Clash's sound had
become much more soulful, even funky, and
had gotten them considerable airplay in dance
clubs. if not on the radio, While touring for
Sandinista, the Clash reinforced their new
soulful image, playing with opening acts such
as Rappers, Kurtis Blow, and Grandmaster
Flash and the Furious Five, The crowds didn't
take very well to the opening acts; they were
siill used to a Clash that was rough, raw, and
violent, But the Clash’s popularity grew stead!

In 1982, the Clash’s popularity peaked with

The Clash's success climaxed in October of
1982, when they opened for the Who at Shea
stadium in New York City. For the Clash, who

were used to playing in small places, this was a
radical change, "My first gig was in a broom
closet,” quipped Strummer, He feels that the
best place for a show Is an arena that seats
about 3000 (like Albany's Palace Theater), but

The Clash in 1978

explained why they opened for the Who at
Shea: “You can't go on about it if you haven't
done lt, You can't complain about a restaurant
if you haven't tried the food. Also, we figured
we would like some of thelr audience if they
were gonna retire, and they invited us. The
Stones once invited us to play a show in New
Orleans. and we said okay. but we wanted the
poster billed like a boxing fight, “The cham-
pions of the world, The Rolling Stones, vs.
The Contenders, The Clash." Get a bit of fun
into it. And they just put the phone down.”

Playing with the Who also enabled Strum:
mer to check up on a band that had been
through the mill, which he says encouraged
hhim to sack Mick Jones, “They couldn't stand
the sight of each other. They'd go on stage
and do the old pals act in front of the 90,000
people, but they weren't buddies, and | didn't
wanna get lke that with Mick, and I thought to
hell with i. I didn't care which way it went, but
Vcouldnt go on like this, I didn’t care if we had
to take a big dive, it would be much more fun
than going on like that,” he explained.

So In September of 1983, Strummer, with
Paul Simonon backing him up. kicked Mick
Jones out of the Clash, Drummer Topper
Headon had left the band voluntarily about a
year earlier, and was replaced by Peter
Howard, Guitarists Vince White and Nick
Shephard also joined the band. “It just takes
the whole weight off." contends Strummer
“Now we've gol a team."

Shortly after. the split up, controversy arose
regarding the band’s name, as both the Jones
and Strummer factions claimed to be the
Clash. Strummer feels that, "What Mick wants
is all the money, but he's given up on the
name, because he realizes that you can't just
have the Clash as a free thing, because you're
open to all the things you started out against
‘We didn't see the necessity to become an ego:
tripping God, surrounded by an entourage of
yes-men.” 4

Jones and Strummer were the songwriting
core of the Clash, which leaves speculation as
to the direction that the Clash's music will
take, “We've got this feeling that We want to
strip It back down, All we take on the road are
guitars, drums.and shouting,” Strummer
asserted, “and if, that isn’t good enough, they
why are we only just bringing that. So | wanna
record with that and see if I's still something

The Continuing Adventures Of Joe Strummer

continued from 7a

you can be creative with, To be honest, I'm
frightened of machines."

I Strummer feels this way about machines,
‘one has to wonder why the Clash's music had
gone the other way, but Strummer explains,
“We got bedazzled by the studio, and the 24
tracks all saying, feed me, record on me, what
about me?”

By replacing Jones with two guitarists, it
was thought that Strummer would be concen:
trating on his singing, but Strummer joked
that, "I play as well, I'm afraid, it's very loud,
extremely annoying.”

He says that instead of arranging a brass
section or violins, they will be arranging
guitars, and trying to use some sounds from
the gultars like more of a percussive instru
ment, “I'm very good at that bit,” claimed
Strummer,

{As to what the band will play in concert, the
Clash is working on 7 or 8 new songs In-
terspersed with what Strummer calls, "all of
the best moments of the Clash. The times that
we really hit well, like “London Calling" or
'Armegiddeon Time." Strummer sald that his
favorite moments with the Clash tend to be
obscurities, such as, “If Music Could Talk,”
from Sandinista, and “Straight to Hell,” from
Combat Rock, but observed that, “on stage
you're In a different frame of mind. | get very

violent and very aggressive and | want to get
my teeth Into something, | want to bang a
song around like “Brand New Cadillac” (on
don Calling) or “Career Opportunities” (The
Clash).

When asked about the violence that occurs
at a Clash concert. Sturmmer responded, “At
the front of one of our shows, it is a physical
contact sport, but very rarely do any bones get
broken, I've always feff that it was a release.
and that people were less inclined to do
something violently evil after one of our con:
certs, than immediately before.”

Strummer doesn't hesitate to do any of the
Strummer-Jones compositions. declaring,
“The more the merrier. I'm sure if he (Jones)
ever gels going, he'll do the same.” Jones is
reportedly working with drummer Topper
Headon with a new group called Top Risk Ac-
tion Company in London,

The Strummer-Jones combination was
another thing that was causing @ falling out
between the two men. “I don’t believe in a
Jagger-Richards ghetto,” claimed Strummer,
“where they keep the writing to themselves
they keep all the dough to themselves, and
they sort of pay off the other guys like the
three stooges. I'd rather have an open team
where there's no one sulking because he feels
left out.” On the Clash's first two albums,
the songs are credited to Strummer-Jones, but

starting withLondon Calling. the third album,
the songs are credited to the Clash. which
Strummer forced through in an attempt to
create more of a team feeling. Jones was
always against the idea, Strummer contends.

Playing by the rules, The Clash should have
tushed out and recorded an album bl in
September, and be touring behind it now, but
Strummer contends, "We're interested in get
ting to know each other, getting to know an
audience with a new group. and getting some
common experience.”

When asked about. the Clash’s plans to
record, Strummer joked, “We're gonna at
tempt to record naked to see if it brings the
primeaval spirit back to things,” and added
"I'd like to record livish in the studio. because |
think there’s something to be said between
human's playing together.” Presently when an
album Is recorded it is done one instrument al
a time - first the drums. then the guitars, ete.

‘m very bored with this laboratory
approach,” said Strummer. who is not sure
when the band will make it into the studio.

The Clash has always been known to be
Politically Outspoken and socially conscious,
{and this is one aspect of the band that will not
change. “The Thatcher situation is much the
same as the Reagan one; tremendously
Popular guy, very right wing, beating the
patriotic drum, gonna get in for another four

years, no real opposition, opposition divided
amongst itself, Thatchers's in till 1988 now, so
it's heads down over there. and we have to
urge people to even register to vole. It's the
global youth attitude, a 60's cynicism. I'm not
info that anymore, ft hasn't gotten us
anywhere, We're trying to get people to vote.
and we're encouraging them to vote Labor,
which is the direct Socialist alternative to That-
cher, even though when they get into power
they'll probably become indistiiguishable
the others and we'll go roundabout again

Because of the popularity of Combat Rock
the Clash just might be able to pass on their
message. "We know it’s a gamble. We are try-
ing to be incredibly successful and Incredibly
radical,” contends Strummer. “To be brutal
about it, to make Michael Jackson, they
whiteified him. They fixed his nose, they gave
him a white manager. Is he @ man or is he a
woman? Is he a black man or is he a white
man? Nobody quite knows.”

ONe final change for the Clash is thelr at-
titude towards drugs.

“Nobody in the group goes near drugs.
We're trying to encourage people that there is
a life after drugs and i's not some kind of
downer, In fact i's the opposite, it's an
upper,” Strummer said, “And | feel my
memory Is coming back, which could be a
great help.”

thoughtful aitention shown to them,

On Sunday, April 8, there was a Talent Show scheduled at
Daughters of Sarah, Due to the unfortunate circumstance of
last minute cancellations, the Talent Show had to be cancell-
ed. These last minute cancellations wouldn't have made
much of a difference if the original response from students
willing 10 perform had been greater. | must say that my co-
chaif, Jane Stein and I worked very hard on this Talent Show
and were both very disappointed to see the low turnout, To
compensate for not having a talent show, a friend of mine
and I danced for the residents and Passover songs were sung
with them, Aflerwards, the few of us that showed up Sunday
spoke with and visted these residents, As has always been my
experience with visiting the Daughters of Sarah Nursing
Home, the response was very positive from these residents
and very beneficial (o those of us who were there,

For the remainder of this year and through next year as
well,.1 would like 10 see a greater turnout of people who will

Good Friday

To the Edito

People often overlook the fact that college is not just a
place 10 grow academically, but that college is a stepping
stone to acting responsibly in an aduli community, This
responsibilily requires an awareness and a sensitivity toward
the beliefs of others. In a diverse environment such ay
SUNYA, one would expect this 10 be the ease. Apparently, it
is no

We are addressing the “Have a Good Friday" at the Red
Parrot Night planned by Del na Pi, We are appalled
that this organization would make a mockery of the most
solemn day of the Christian year,

What is most upsetting is the play on the words Good
Friday." By doing this, they are making a sham of Christian
religious convictions.

A SUNY Night should be an event in which all students
can participate. This celebration is insensitive to the beliefs
of a large segment of the siudent population who are Chris-
tian,

In order to understand our oulrage one must grayp the
significance of this day, According to Sr. Danielle Bonetti
Catholic campus minister: “Good Friday is the most solemn
day of our Christian Church calendar, It is the day set aside
to commemorate the passion and death of Jesus Christ, It iy
marked by fasting and prayer. It is a day which should be
centered on a conciousness of God's overwhelming goodness
tous."

We are equally shocked at the lack of sensitivity which
allowed the saying “Have a ‘Good Friday’ at the Red
Parrot’ 10 be approved for podium posting and a Campus
Center sheet sign. We are assuming that this incident was
unintentional but the fact that it was ignored by the
authorities who should be representing everyone, is to put it
simply, wrong.

We believe it is in very poor taste to plan a university-wide
event, with this slogan, on Good Friday, the most solemn
Holy Day in the Christian calendar,

Irresponsible actions

To the Editor:

‘This letter is addressed to the editor, however it should be
addressed 10 the entire university community. As any in-
telligent student should be made aware of the irresponsible
actions taken by the Albany Student Press (ASP) editorial
staff in their rationale for their endorsement for S.A. presi-
dent

Throughout my enrollment at the State University at
A T have been made aware, and am increasingly
reminded of the ASP’s racist, sexist, and biased history, past
and present, It is ever so apparent in their endorsement sup-
plement.

The editorial staff gave its highest praise and endorsement
to one candidate who lacked not only a commitment, but
also Jacked concern for, or even the slightest awareness of,
minority or women's issues. At the same time the ASP,
within the same issue, it (the ASP) cites lack of awareness for
these same issues, as a major weakness in the platform of
another candidate,

Are we, the students of the SUNYA campus, to believe
and accept the written word of a newspaper which defies the
laws of reason, common sense, and journalistic efficiency or
coherency? Since this is the farthest reaching newspaper on
this campus, almost a monopoly informationwise, is i not its
duty or obligation to at least attempt to uphold some level of.
journalistic aptitude? Amateur writers you may be, but stan-
dards for journalism have been built over the course of its
history, and are established, Do you not feel it necessary 10
abide by them?

The students on this campus are deserved of an objective,
informative newspaper. As long as the ASP is 10 remain on

campus, occupy. space in the campus center, disperse

newpapers and function for the best interest of the students

Of the State University at Albany, it should do just that, be

objective and informative, This has not been the protocol ex-

emplified by the ASP, in the past or present, Let us hope and

pray that it can be achieved in the future, the near future
(now).

Successful event

To the Editor:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone
for their crucial support during Telethon '84, First of all, we
would like to thank you, the university community for your
moral and financial support. It is you who make Telethon
the fun, monumental and successful event that itis each year,

A special thanks must go to all of those talented students
who offered their time and services to make Telethon as
entertaining as it was,

With our thanks to all of the acts, there are a few acts
whose spirit, cooperation and tremendous support made
Telethon the success it was, Many thanks to Barry Manilow
and the Manilets, Ladies & Gentlemen, Buzz and the Butter-
cups, Andy "Rodney" Goldberg, The Show, Reynold
“Michael Jackson" Camejo, Bill Krauss, Carolyn Cervelo,
Schoen, and the Kazoo Brothers for all
their continual enthusiasm and performances throughout the
show.

In addition, we would like to thank ‘The Brink," a local
professional band for donating their time and services at 6
a.m,

As successful and entertaining as the show was, it would
have been impossible without the support and services of
Bob Shea and the Education Communications Center staff,
Ihe S.A, audio-visual team, especially Woody, Gary and
Chris, and the 24 hour fireside and stage managers,

A special thanks 10 WCDB for their coverage and spirit.
Thanks to anyone else we may have forgotten,

Non-discrimination

To the Editor:

This letter concerns Central Council's d
retroactive pay raises for three members of the executive
branch, { was the primary initiator of the Student Associa-
tion's present Non-Diserimination Policy and a vocal ad-
vocate for the rights of minorities and women,

This orientation has allowed me to study the subject of
discrimination and comparable pay for comparable work. It
is my understanding that four members of the executive
board were stipended ai $2250 and three were stipended at
$1375. The former being white males, the latier females and
minority, My question: SO WHAT? Those facts do not, in
and of themselves, constitute a Tile VII suit. . . (contrary
to opinion),

This is probably news to the members of Central Council
The subsequent information may also be surprising:

1. A stipend is nor a salary; it is not taxable.

2. All stipends are $250 for each semester, regardless of the
position held

3. All stipends were calculated on the same pro-rata sum of
$4.37 per hour for the summer

4, The former executives are required 10 put in twice as
many hours as the latter,

The media director issued two Student Voice during the
summer and was nol required 10 stay in Albany during
August.

6. The Off-Campus Coordinator and the Minority Affairs
Coordinator were in the office 20 hours a week and could
hold additional jobs during the summer, This was the first
year for that present organization of each office.

7. Last year the Programming Director and the Council
Chair had similar hours and similar stipends — they did not
receive retroactive pay — they were white males, The media
irecior was also ‘stipended al a similar rate — the position
held by a white female.

8. Pasi presidents and vice-presidents have been female or
minorities and received . stipend for their positions. Stipends
are based on time requirements, not sex or race.

9. SA has not (in at least the past five years) approved any
retroactive bill,

10, The abov
Council minutes and would be admissible

information can be found in past Central
a Title VII law

The present Council is not responsible for the existing
is but will be for those included in the 84-85 budget. 1
ly hope that they make a responsible decision based on
‘sand Fefuse 10 react 10 threats and subile insinuations
of racism and sexism... review of the history of Student
Association will indicate that it has made substantial progress
regarding the placement of women and minorities in this
year's agenda. Consequently | urge the Couneil members to
consider each stipend and the responsibility: and time re-
quirements of rhe office hakter, at the possibility of the i=
dividual’s sex or rave, Only then will Student Association ae-
tively be conforming with the concept of NON
DISCRIMINATION.

Profs studies the rights of mentally ill inmates

By Nene Weinstein
STAFF WRITER

Mental illness in prisons around
the country is on the upswing, ac-
cording to SUNYA. Criminal
Justice Professor Fred Cohen.

Cohen, who is studying the con-
stitutional rights of mentally ill and
mentally retarded convicts, explain-
ed that overcrowding is a primary
reason for the increase in this il-
Iness. ‘The noise level, victimiza-
tion by other prisoners, and
idleness" contribute to the unstable
conditions of many prisoners, said
Cohen,

Cohen's research is part of a state
Department of Corrections pro-
gram to review professional stan-
dards that should be maintained by
people who work with mentally ill
inmates, according to Brian McCar-
thy, @ program specialist for the
corrections depariment

New York State has received a

grant from the National Institute of
Corrections, an agency of the
Justice Department, to develop
research manual for corrections of-
ficers, mental health workers, and
policy makers nation-wide, explain-
ed McCarthy,
‘Administrative and programmatic
practices are being studied, in addi-
tion to legal perspectives which are
being researched by Cohen, said
McCarthy.

The manual, which will be
published this summer, will simply
be a resource for individual states to
help them run their corrections
departments, ‘The N.C. (Na-
tional Institute of Corrections) docs
not have any legal mandates," ex-
plained McCarthy,

Preliminary results have been
presented by Cohen and McCarthy
to the National Academy of Correc-

tions in Boulder, Colorado.
Statistics, which have been compll-
ed from a natin-wide survey of cor-
rections departments, have revealed
that six percent of today's inmates
‘are mentally ill and two-and-a-half
percent are mentally retarded, ac-
cording to McCarthy.

Cohen said that mental hospitals
have deiristitutionatized their pa-
tients by about $0 percent in recent
years, which leads to fewer people
being put into mental hospitals. In
(urn, Cohen said, “they are show-
ing up in prisons.

The reason for this deinstitu-
tionalization, according 10 Cohen is
the general belief that mental
hospitals don't do much good, It is
very difficult, legally, to get people
admitted 10 these institutions, he
said. Cohen explained that the law
is that a person "must be mentally
ill and extremely dangerous" in
order to be placed in a hospital.

A symptom of mental illness in
prisons is “acting out’, accor
lo Cohen, “There scems 10 be a
great deal of data about
mutilation and
among prisoners, he added.

‘According to McCarthy, var
tions in programming exist nation-
wide, “Some states keep mentally
disturbed people in prisons and
some states transfer them to mental

he said. He noted that
there are:fow services for mentally
felarded people, and that few
retarded people are transferred,
“They usually stay in corrections,""
he added,

Cohen, on the other hand,
argued that New York State is a
leader in the field of inmate treat-
ment, “There are more varied
resources and programs for mental-
ly disordered prisoners," he ex-

plained,

Eight prisons in New York have
community mental health programs
and satellite programs which pro-
vide drugs and treatment, In-
termediate care units also exist to
service people with less serious men-
tal illnesses, said Cohen.

He explained that the con” °
tional basis for prisoners’
ist in the eighth and the fourtee” itv
amendments in the U.S. Constii
tion.

The eighth amendment protects
prisoners from crue! and unusual

punishment while the due process
clause of the fourteenth amendment
protects pre-trial prisoners.

‘These constitutional guarantees
“spawn ancillary requirements,"
said: Cohen. Prisoners are entitled
to the rights of treatment, health
care, diagnosis, and confidentiality,
he said,

The right to confidentiality led to
the Tarasoff problem, which in-
volves the conditions that make it
necessary for psychotherapists to
breach the confidential relation-
ship. ‘Its. significant in. prisons

because if a prisoner threatens so
meone (during therapy) thi
therapist has to take steps to protec
the victim," said Cohen, “Prison
are small commu

prisoners are al

threats. Sometimes it's not alway,
clear what a therapist should do,”
he added.

The Tarasoff problem was nam
ed after a patient in California why
told a therapist he planned 10 kij
his former girlfriend. The doco
did not act to protect the viet
the woman was later killed

Runoff scheduled for position of SA president

<Front Page
further on ‘the incident

Busby said that the elections
commission would have dis-
qualified Hallock, had they had the
names of the campaigners and more
evidence to go on,

Another dispute centered around
a section of SA's election policy
that forbidss any “stockpiling of
(campaign)supplies" in the SA of-
fice. Helium tanks that were stored
in the SA office were apparently us-
ed to inflate balloons for Schaffer's
campaign

Schaffer said the tanks were left
over from an Olympic Hopefuls
committee event, and were purchas
ed by him as he removed them from
the SA office on the day they were
used. Schaffer asserted that Gregg
Stackel, who works on Schaffer's
campaign and runs the Olympic
Hopefuls committee offered the
helium tanks to him Sunday nigh:
April 15, and he bought them Mon-
day April 16.

Although Schaffer narrowly beat
him in the first election, Hallock

said he was ‘‘cautiously confident”
that he would win the runoff. ‘I
certainly feel that the sinall margin
would have been more than made
Up if the polls had opened at the ap-

Schaffer, who defeated Hallock
on Indian Quad, where the polls
opened late, disagreed with
Hallock. “If the polls were open
earlier on Indian Quad I'd have
done even better,"" Schaffer said.
McCann has said he plans to

Campus divestitures of South African
holdings declining despite protests

ae pkess sewvicey Organizers say recent coor-)
inated nationwide demonstrations edlling for more
universities to sell thelr holdings iif companies that
do business in segregationist South Africa were ‘the
largest anti-apartheid mobilization in several years."*

The actual pace of campus administrators divesting
their portfolios of shares in the firms has fallen off in
the last few years, however.

Called “Two Weeks of Anti-Apartheid Action,
the protests, organized by the American Committee on
Africa (ACOA), stretched across scores of campuses
from the fast week of March through the first weeks of
April.

Demonstrations took place at Florida State, Duke,
the University of the District of Columbia, Columbia,
Harvard, Kalamazoo College, Oregon and Southern
Cal, among many other places, reports Joshua Nessen,
who coordinates campus activities from the ACOA of-
fice in New York City.

Nessen estimated the events involved thousands"?
of students,

They "sent a strong message of opposition 10 U.S.
investment in South Africa,"” he sai

‘The demonstrations “put our administration and
other university administrators on notice that the
divestment movement is broad-based and
permanent," said Brooke Baldwin of the Yale Coali-
tion Against Apartheid.

Judging just how this spring's protests measure
against those of the past is difficult because the ACOA
has lumped efforis with those of the nuclear freeze
movement in 1982 and 1983,

But protests, while usually not as large as those sur-
rounding othe r Imost constant.

Since last spring's major campus push, for example,
students at the State University of New York:
Binghamton boycotted a Ray Charles concert because

Charles had revently performed in South Africa,

‘A Northern Illinois University student effort to
mount a boycott of the university's alumni fund,
Which holds stock in. firms that do business in South
Africa, failed last fall when Operation PUSH, Jesse
Jackson’s organization in Chicago, refused o endorse
the boycott

fowa State's student government asked ils governors
to sell $700,000 worth of shares in certain companies,
while minority faculty at Michigan State petitioned to
erase the name of John MeGoff, a Michigan publisher
on the South African government payroll, from a cam-
pus stage,

Most of the efforts, however, have fallen on deaf
cars,
While scores of colleges and university divested
themselves of their interests in South Africa form 1978
through 1982, very few schools have done so in recent
years,

Most prominently, Minnesota toughened its South
Africa policy in January, prohibiting univer
vestments in firms that don't endorse the Sullivan
Principles, a list of 14 civil rights for South African
workers in American-controlled companies,

In February, Westeyan University sold its shares in
Newmont Mining when Newmont refused to sign an
‘agreement to observe the Sullivan Principles.

Rules tightened in attempt to control students

Springfield Mo,
(COLLEGE PRESS seavice) Southwest Missouri
State University senior Jim McWilliams got a
big suprise several weeks ago when campus
security officers abrupty cornered him, and
announced they were charging him with a
crime.

The crime: he'd helped a friend distribute
“The Southwest Rag,"” an offbeat paper the
campus officials claim contained defamatory
and obscene remarks about administrators
and students,

While the McWilliams case might be an ex-
treme example of how administrators on
many campuses are moving aggressively to
control students’ behavior more closely than
any time since the early 1960s, it is far from
the only one,

Last week, for instance, administrators at

annunced they're considering toughening
their student conduct code,

In recent months, colleges have gone to
court to try to reinforce their rights to punish
and suspend students, invalidate diplomas,
withhold transcripts and impose disciplinary
Penalties without providing students with the
same due process they'd get in public courts.

Pennsylvania, Kent State and Michigan,
among many others, are also reviewing and
looking to toughen their student conduct
codes in meetings this month,

Noire Dame, Southern Methodist, Idaho,
Baylor and Washington, to name just a few
campuses, have banned or plan to ban all
drinking as a way to help control student
behavior.

Universities angered by research censorship

(COLLEGE Press sexvice) Three universities that
make millions of dollars by performing
research for the Pentagon say they'll drop all
their Pentagon research contracts if the
Reagan. administration goes ahead with its
plans to censor professors’ publications of
certain research results.

Ina letter to administration officials, the
presidents of Cal Tech, the Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology and Stanford — which
together do about $400 million a year in
Dept, of Defense research — last week said
they'd have to stop doing all military research
if the rules are implemented,

“Major universities,"* said David Wilson,
@ University of California official and co-
chairman of the committee that is trying to
hammer out the-research publication cules,
‘do not sign contracts that give someone else
the ultimate authority to decide whether the
‘material is published,””

The new rules would give the Pentagon the
right to approve and censor the scientific
reports of certain kinds of research on cam-
puses, says Dr. Leo Young, director of the
Defense Dept.'s Research and Laboratory
Management Office.

“We want the right to approve what you
publish,"” he explains,

‘The reason is "that we've got to slow the
flow of all this good technology stuff going
to the Soviet Union,” he says, "The Russians
come here and buy all the stuff they can in
Radio Shack, and most of the leakage comes
from businesses, But some of it comes from
universities, and we have to stow it down.”

In essence, the administration proposes (0
create a new category of research, points out
Rosemary Chalk, spokeswoman for the
American Association for the Advancement

yee (AAAS) in Washington, D.C.

‘or the 40 years that the government has
been funding military research on campuses,
there's been classified research and
unclassified research,"" she says.

“There were strict rules about publishing

the results of classified research, and many
schools, particularly in the late sixties,
adopted policies not to do it,” Chalk ex-
plains,

“Now, they want to call some of the
unclassified research they fund ‘sensitive’,
and apply the same censorship rules to it that
they used for the clasified research,” she
says,

‘An official at the National Academy of
Sciences (NAS) who asked not to be named
because he's not an official NAS spokesman,
calls the proposed censorship “‘an exercise int
paranoia. It's a way for the Pentagon (0
make more projects secret without having to

Justify it, You can understand their fears the
Russians will steal our weapons, but we're
talking about science, not weapons.

‘The official says ‘we profit from publica-
tion of their science as much as they profit
from ours,"*

Young contends that “less than one per-
ceni of the Pentagon research contracts
would be affected by the rule.

Asked if it was possible that the Pentagon
could one day decide to classify a majority of
its research contracts as sensitive, Young con-
cedes that “nothing can stop that in princi
ple, But these are reasonable people. It's a
danger, but a very small danger, I believe."

‘Yung adds the censorship proposal is “an
opegiing negotiating position’’ in a ‘*con-
structive” effort to limit the flow of
techinological research to'the Soviet Union
while doing ‘as little as possible to abridge
the rights of universities,"”

Wilson is also confident a rule palatable to
both the Pentagon and the universities can be
formed. “It's not impossible that we can find
a resolution to it. This is a very big issue, but
there is no sense of real pani

The committee of university and Pentagon
officials will meet to try to work out the dif
ferences sometime later in 1984, Young
says fa]

Increased military funds spur protesters

(coupece ress service) The threat by some
universities (0 drop out of Pentagon-funded
campus research projects is just the latest ex-
ample of a scemingly-deepening uneasiness
over colleges’ cosier relationship with the

Military funding of campus and university

The Pentagon is paying campuses $894

Jerome Frank, author of Sanity and Sur-
vival in the Nuclear Age,"" at a recent Johns
Hopkins meeting to protest campus involv-
‘ment in military and nuclear research,

Johns Hopkins’s recent re-chartering of a
ROTC program “might not have happened if
the university didn't have this big investment
in the military.””

When the staff of a Stanford lab balked at
X-ray research related to nuclear weapons,
the university agreed to tke on only the
aspects of the research not related to
weaponry.

Harvard students helped put a measure on
last November's ballot that would have
ed Cambridge into a "nuclear free zone," If
passed, the law effectively would have kept
Harvard out of nuclear weapons research
contracts,

In February, Cal Tech faculty members
asked the administration to drop plans to add
a US. Amy policy center to existing
federally-financed research labs because the
policy center had more to do with military

than scientific matters.

“When a pretigious university does
research in nuclear weapons," Frank reason-

ed at the John Hopkins forum, “it very
powerfully reinforces the dangerous illusion
that a nuclear war can be won by the side that
has the greatest technology.””

Not all campus officials oppose the grow-
ing college ties to the Pentagon, of course,

“The university has stated through its
trustees that national security is a part of its
public service mission," contends Edward
Cochran, spokesman for Johns Hopkins's
Applied Physics Lab, which is currently do-
ing almost $275 million worth of research for
the Pentagon.

Weapons research is ‘‘a necessary evil,"
says Johns Hopkins graduate student Bill
Saunders, “There is a need for defense in
society, and it doesn't conflict with educa-
tion.”*

“If they offered me a job with a defense
contractor,"" added Johns Hopkins student
Mike Burke, “I'd probably take it, Most of
the materials engineers 1 know are interview-

'm sure many of you are asking “Why is Rich running for re-
election? Is he crazy?” Sometimes I think | am. But let me tell
you, I love this job. It means more to me than anything.

The Student Association has so much potential with many pro-
jects in the works, battles still to be won and issues that haven’t
even reached the surface yet. This is why re-electing me would be
beneficial to SUNYA. My proven committment and dedication has
led us on to many successes this year. With a second term as SA
President, | could really put a dent in the University regarding the
areas of students’ rights, minority affairs, programming, athletic
spirit and women’s safety.

I have done my best to fight for your rights all this past year.
Now I need your help and support - Please vote and re-elect me
on April 30 and May 1.

Thank you!

‘The Albany State women's track and field
team has been busy the past two weeks, com-
peting in four meets in that span. The period
was also a successful one, as the Danes
wound up their dual meet season with a 5-1
record.

The Danes first competed in the Bingham-
ton Invitational, held on April 11, where they
placed sixth out of nine teams with a total of
36 points. Division 1 Cornell won the meet
‘with a total of 130 points. ‘AIL in al it was an
average mect as we finished right where we
should have been," commented Coach
White.

Mary Carmody was named the Danes’
outstanding performer of the meet as she
placed second in the 400-meter dash with a
time of 1:00.7 and fourth in the 200-meter
dash in a time of 28.2, Carmody also an-
chored the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter
relays which both placed fourth, wrapping
up quite a day by the talented freshman.

In what Coach White called “the real
break through of the meet,”” Karen Kurthy
ran a personal best in the 1500-meter run with
a fine time of 4:56.5. Kurthy could only
‘manage a seventh place finish in an extremely
strong field, but the very quick race pulled
her under the five minute mark for the first
time, a goal that had cluded her for quite
some time,
“L was very pleased for Karen," said
White, *“Five minutes had been a mental bar-
tier of sorts, and now that she is past it I feel
her time will continue to come down."
Versatile Ginny Griner had a fine day for
the Danes, as she took three-fith places in the
‘ong jump, triple jump and high jump.
Grinet's marks were 15'S" in the long jump,
31°10.75" in the triple jump, and 4°6" in the
high jump.
Other notable performances included
‘Maura Mahon’s personal best of 5:03.5 in the
1500-meter run; Lynn Jacobs fourth place
finish and personal best in the $000-meter run
in 18:43,3, and Kitty Sullivan's two personal
bests in the 1500-meter run and 3000-meter

ively.

For the next meet, the Danes hosted their
‘own Albany Invitational, held April 14.
Powerhouse Corland took the meet with 151
points, while the Danes finished a very
respectable fifth out of nine teams with a
tolal of 54 points, Coach White felt good
about his team’s performance, saying, "I was
very satisfied with our team place.
Sophomore’ distance ace Jacobs was
Albany's star performer of the meet, as she
first placed second in the 10,000-meter run
with an awesome time of 38:06.4. The time
was a track personal best and only 1.4
seconds off of qualifying for Division [11 Na-
tionals. Jacobs then came back in the
3000-meter run 10 place third with a personal
best and school record time of 10:42,5.
‘Carmody provided Albany with their lone
first place finish, winning the 400-meter dash
with a time of 1:00.1. Carmody also provided
strong performances in the 4x100-meter relay
which placed fourth, and the 4x400-meter
relay which placed third.

‘There were many more fine performances
from Dane competitors, starting with an
Albany first in the heptathaton, Barb Shipley
placed fifth with a point total of 3215,
followed by Griner in sixth with a point total
of 3134. This was the first time any Albany
heptathletes had placed in a major compet
tion, Mary Bart also had a fine day, placing
in both hurdle races. Bart placed sixth in the
100-meter hurdles with a time of 20.8, and
placed fourth in the 400-meter hurdles with a
time of 1:16.2, Other Danes placing in the
meet were Doreen Hutchinson, fourth in the
}400-meter dash; Griner, fourth in the triple
jump; Andrea DeLaurier, fifth in the discus,
Mary Randles, sixth in the shotput; Shipley,
sixth in the javelin; and Chris Varley, sixth in
the 10,000-meter run,

Next the Danes traveled to Hartwick to
compete against both Hartwick and
Hamilton. The meet was held April 18, right
in the middle of Albany's spring break, and
the Danes had only thirteen competitors.
Those thritcen competitors were enough on
this day, though, as the Danes prevailed with
126 points 10 Hamilton's 68 and Hartwick's
32, "I was really surprised we took this meet,
I didn't think with such a depleted team we
would be able to pull it off," said Coach
White,

-cTELETHON 85 Trackwomen finish at 5-1

Jacobs lead the way with a first in the
3000-meter run and a second in the
1500-meter run. Her time of 10:48.8 in the
3000-meter run was a good one, but her
1500-meter time of 4:54.5 just missed the
school record and smashed her ‘previous best
time by fourteen seconds. Jacobs was named
Albany's outstanding performer for her ef-
forts.

Other notable performances included
DeLaurier's first place in the discus with a
throw of 101° Bart's season best
400-meter hurdles of 1:15.9, and Shipley's
third place in the shot with a throw of 32° 5",
Coach White termed Shipley's effort a “‘ma-
jor breakthrough," as she improved
dramatically in the event during the meet.

Coach White described the Danes’ effort
this past Tuesday as a ‘‘super meet."” Albany
came away with wins over both Binghamton
and Union, scoring 89.5 points (0 67.5 points
for Binghamton and 20 points for Union.
The two wins wrapped what Coach White
called, ‘‘a very satistying dual meet season,”
with a fine $-1 record,

Karen Robinson pulled off a rare triple win
effort and was named the Danes’ oulstanding
performer of the meet, Her first win came as
part of the 4x100-meter relay, which posted a
season best time of $2.7 seconds. She then
took first in the tong jump with a tremendous
leap of 164.5", a personal best and new
school record, Her third winning effort came
in the 100-meter dash, where she was timed in
a season best 13,7 seconds

In what Coach White termed, “one of the
best efforts of the day,"* Varley finished se-
cond in the 5000-meter run with @ time of
20:30.7, a whopping 38 seconds better than
her previous best. She then came back to take
another second in the 3000-meter run in
12:18.6.

aid White, “There were other notable
performances, people who may have taken
firsts, but Chris just had a super meet, and t
feel she deserves some credit. Her effort was
‘one of the best by any individual all season,
and such efforts should not go unnoticed."*

Both Shipley and Jacobs were double win-
ners for the Danes, Shipley won the
100-meter hurdles in 18.0 seconds, and took
the high jump with a leap of 4°8", Jacobs
won both the $000-meter and 3000-meter
uns, her time of 18:45.7 being close to her
best in the 5000-meter.

Randles was also a winner for the Danes,
placing first in the discus with a throw of 101°
3°", Randles also placed scond in the shot put
with a fine toss of 33%

Women netmen overwhelm Red Dragons, 8-1

By Dean Chang

SANISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

The Albany State women’s tennis tcam
turned in-an impressive outing last Wednes-
day and overwhelmed Oneonta, 8-1. If not
for a freak injury suffered to first singles
player Mindy Hartstein during the first
doubles match, the Danes would have swept
the Red Dragons off Albany's courts,

‘Albany dropped only one set the entire
match, that_being in Hartstein’s match
against Elise Reuter. Hartstein won 4-6, 6-1,
6-0, in a match that had the appearances of
being close until the second set. In the first
sel, Hartstein got off (0 a fast start and cap-
tured the first three games, With the score 3-2
in the fourth game and Haristein serving,
Haristein double faulted twice to give Reuter
the game and a second life.

“When I double faulted, I lost my concen-
tration,” said Hartstein. ‘I tet hes get back
into the match. In the second set, 1 knew that
Thad to take the offensive, I couldn't just
chip it back to her (Reuter). For me to win, 1
had to take the match to her. 1 hit my shots
harder, and I went for a big first serve."" The
change in tactics enabled Hartstein 10 hold

“opponent 10 one game the Next {wo sets.

Second singles player Joan Phillips had a
much easier time of it, beating Michelle
Brown by the score of 6-0, 6-2. At third
singles, Lauren Isaacs beat her opponent,
6-3, 6-4. Isaacs had the unique experience of
playing someone with the same exact style of
play that she had.

“1 had (0 think how 1 would play myself
said Isaacs, “She played the same game thal
did, Usually | hit short and make my oppo:
nent come in and then 1 would lob it over
their heads. The difference between the wo
of us was that 1 was a little more patient,"*

Fourth singles player Helene Tishler won
her match, 6-2, 6-2, while at the fifth singles
position Geri Chiodo 100k her match, 6-4,
6-3. At sixth singles, Ellen Yun easily handled

her opponent, 6-1, 6-1.

The first doubles team of Haristein and
Phillips were on their way to being Albany's
seventh point when Haristein sprained her
ankle in a strange manner.

“The ball went over my head,” recalled
Haristein. ‘1 went after it, but'the ball got
tangled up in the curtain (thal separates the
indoor courts), 1 don't remember running in-
to the curtain, but 1 fell and I fanded on the
outside of my ankle, Then I got up and fell
on it again,"*

The injury was severe enough to make
Albany forfeit the match and ruin the
shutout. The second doubles team of Isaacs
and Tishler took their match by the score of
6-1, 6-2, while the third doubles tandem of
Chris Cassaro and Lisa Valins won, 6-4, 6-4,

The team will be trying to use this match as
a springboard to victories against upcoming
opponents Concordia, Si. Johns and
Binghamton, The women will travel to Con-
cordia today to play at 3:30, Tomorrow, the
Danes will lake on St, Johns, a strong Divi-

Despite St. Johns’ eredentials, the Danes
will be playing to win, "We always go in with
a positive attitude and try to win," said
Isaacs. “Sine they're Division 1, they ean

In terms of respect, the Danes lately have been

line drive while he was pitching batting practice.
Zaloom was not seriously hurt; he had a_ severe

probably made Zaloom's headache worse was the way

STALE MRITER,

All the members of Student Association's
executive branch are taking pay cuts 1
year as part of the 1984-85 budget which SA.
President Rich Schaffer signed Monday,

‘A new, two-tiered stipend system has been
implemented with the President, Vice Presi-

forming the upper tier and earning $2,000 per
year. The Minority Affairs Coordinator, the
SA Media Director and Director of Studer
Programming form the lower tier, carning
$1,500, said Schaffer

This past year, all seven executives were
paid $2,250 for the year

The basis for the new two tier system was
that with the exception of the Council Chair,
the upper tier is legally responsible and ean be
named in suits that involve SA.

“Until this year, we always picked stipends
haphazardly,” said Schaffer.

The one year old position of Off-Campus

The reasons for the cutbacks were

Newly installed SA Vice President Suzy

have to also. 11 is more important to have the
job anyway.

This was done, according to Schaffer,
because Director of Student Programming
Richie Golubow had already received his full
$2,250 stipend and “1 was not going to foree
hhim to give back money."*

Minority Affairs Coordinator Vivian Var
