SUNY Chancellor Bartlett resigns after two years of service

Bartlett sights friction with Pataki appointed trustees as catalyst for resignation

By NATALIA ARMOZA
Editor in Chief

Thomas A. Bartlett, chancellor of the
SUNY system resigned on Tuesday due to
friction between he and the SUNY
trustees.

Bartlett was appointed in October 1994
by former governor Mario Cuomo, where-
as the SUNY trustees were appointed by
Pataki. Bartlett has had a difficult time
with the trustees since their appointment.
These new trustees have attempted to use
more power than earlier trustees,and, like
the SUNYA President, Karen Hitchcock,

support more decision making on the side
of the individual schools, over the central-
ized system now in use.

The catalyst that caused the resignation
was Bartlett’s objection to the trustee’s
questioning his choice for Provost. The
provost in the SUNY system is equivalent
to the chancellor’s right hand. Bartlett’s
choice for provost was Daniel Fallon an
administrator from the University at
Maryland and a former professor from
SUNY Binghamton. Instead of accepting
his candidate outright, like trustees have
done in the past, the trustees asked to look
at more candidates.

One of the trustees, Harvey Wachsman,
released a statement defending the choice
taken by the trustees. “It is clear that the
board of trustees appoints the senior mem-
bers of the administration who, in fact,

‘serve at the pleasure of the board, “ he

said. “Chancellor Bartlett was asking us to
give up that authority.”

Bartlett’s resignation was marked only
by a short statement expanding on his
views on the future and current situation
at SUNY. He said, “It is vital to protect
the founding vision of the State University
of New York: broad access for students
and nationals levels of educational quali-

ty.

Bartlett said the trustees needed a chan-
cellor they would respect and follow, but
he was not this kind of chancellor. He
said, “ I have decided that while I still feel
very much committed to SUNY, it is best
at this time that I step down as Chancel-
lor.”

Governor Pataki expressed his thanks
for Bartlett’s work, and stated his work
put SUNY in a better position for the
future.

Kass to take office as new SA controller

SA president Mike Castrilli at Central Council.

By KEVIN DEVALK
Associate News Editor

Central Council approved three
nominations for SA positions at their
second-to-last meeting of the semes-
ter, held on Wednesday.

Jason Kass, assistant controller,
was approved as controller for the
next academic year. Chris
Giambrone will be chairman of the

finance committee, and the vice’

chair will be Johanna Rosenberg.

In pleading on behalf of Kass, Stu-
dent Association President Michael
Castrilli said, “Jay is one of the best
people in the Student Association.”

“His job is not just the controller,
but to help everyone else too,” Cas-
trilli also said.

“T love Student Association as an
organization...[’m a Business
Administration major and I love the
finace stuff,” Kass said.

In his executive report, Castrilli

spoke on a wide variety of issues. He
expressed a concern about the resig-
nation of SUNY Chancellor Thomas
Bartlett. He said he was fearful
because Governor Pataki will be
able to appoint a new chancellor,
and Pataki has not been a supporter
of SUNY in general.

Castrilli advocated student leaders

to get involved with Student Assem-
bly, because they will soon be elect-
ing a president that will be the only
student representative on the SUNY
Board of Trustees, SUNY’s govern-
ing body.
Central Council Chairman Steven
Schwab read a memo by the current
president, former SUNYA Student
President Diego Munoz, who also
expressed concern over the resigna-
tion of Bartlett.

Castrilli said he was pleased with
the selection of Karen Hitchcock for
SUNYA president. Castrilli also
spoke of his commitment to appoint-

ing SA director positions quickly.
Some nominees will come before
Council in the final meeting of this
semester, on Monday night.

Council member Shannen Smith
said many problems can be solved if
council members ask a lot of ques-
tions of the nominees. “TI want us to
have confidence in the people we’re
approving,” Smith said.

Council passed three resolutions at
the meeting to show their thanks to
three individuals. Those recipients
were Castrilli, former Council Vice
Chair Eric Brielmann, and Zina
Carey, project coordinator for the
New York Public Interest Research
Group.

Both Brielmann and Castrilli were
granted honorary lifetime member
status to council. Carey was honored
for her work in mobilizing student
activism on campus for the past
three years, and she will be leaving
her position soon to work at
NYPIRG’s office downtown.

The resolutions, written by
Schwab and Central Council Vice
Chairman Neil Freilich, contained
elements of thanks and subtle
humor, as it was suggested a copy of
Brielmann’s resolution be sent to
Mona Odin, a math instructor he
apparently had a crush on, and Hel-
mut Kohl.

Copies of the resolutions for both
Castrilli and Brielmann will be for-
warded to Dan, the barber at
SUNYA’s barber shop.

Muslim speaker discusses equality

By JIHAN DO®BAN

Not a day goes by that we do not hear something
involving that mysterious religion called Islam. So what,
really, is this religion all about? On Tuesday April 16th,
Dr. Mokhtar Maghrouie, leader of the Islamic Center of
the Capital District, gave a talk at SUNY on the nature of
Islam.

He emphasized the importance of knowing about Islam
by stating that this is one religion that is widely misunder-
stood due to ignorance. Because it is unknown,
Maghroui€ says, it is feared, and consequently hated. this
is important to realize, he said, because Islam is the
fastest growing religion today. One out of every five peo-
ple in the world is Muslim.

He said that the word “Islam” comes from the Arabic

News Feature

root for “submission” or “surrender” and also from the
root for “peace.” The Muslim is expected to submit to
and to serve his or her Creator, Allah, which is simply the
Arabic word for God.

Maghrouie, who holds a doctorate in Physics, used the
example of gravity to demonstrate that all things naturally
submit to the laws of the Creator. Maghrouie talked
about the meaning of the affirmation that all Muslims ©
make: There is no god but Allah (god). This Maghrouie —
said, purifies the soul from belief in false gods, belief in
god as a human being, and also from belief as the self or
one’s desires as God.

One of the beauties of this religion, Maghrouie said, is
that it stands for equality. He quoted from the Koran, the
holy book of Muslims, saying that “Allah has made us
diverse nations and peoples in order that we may know
each other.” He also quoted one of the sayings of the ©
prophet Muhammad who said that all humankind are “as
equal as teeth on a comb” and that they differ only in their
level of God consciousness.

Maghrouie concluded his talk by calling Islam the bal-
ance between the spiritual and the temporal or physical
parts of our lives. He called up several examples from the
Koran in which the dual nature of humans is addressed.
The examples ranged anywhere from descriptions of
heaven to how to achieve moderation in matters such as
the spending or saving of money.

The Class of ’77 will not have
a student speaker at this year’s
graduation as a result of a deci-
sion made by the committee in
charge of commencement
arrangements. Class of ’77
President Cheryl Schneider, the
only student on the committee,
said that she was not consulted
before the decision was reached.

The committee, in an effort to
shorten this year’s ceremony,
“has decided, among other
things, to omit a student speaker
this year,” according to
Assistant to the President J.
Fredericks Volkwein.

Volkwein added that he “feels
badly” that Schneider feels left
out, but explained that “nobody
has come in to talk about
this...and until this happens I
think it’s all right to let the deci-
sion stand.” Student speakers at

Misdiagnosis of anxiety
disorders can be hazardous

Anxiety is a symptom of
underlying concern, worry or
fear. All of us have experienced
feelings of anxiety at one time
or another for any number of
reasons; taking a test, giving a
speech, asking for a date, going
on a date, asking for a raise, the
list goes on and on. These anxi-
ety-producing situ-

Middle ations can often

involve taking a
Earth personal risk; you
Roots

could be rejected,
wrong or unac-

cepted.

It is important to identify
your feelings of anxiety and the
causes for these feelings. Think
about the situation you were or
will be in and ask yourself what
is it about that particular event
that is making you uneasy. Is it
the situation itself or the people
in it? Is there something you
want to say but don’t know
how? Are you participating in
an activity just to please some-
one else? It could be something
quite small that, for whatever
reason, bothers you; the impor-
tant thing is to identify the
source of your anxiety so you
can move on and deal with it in
the most effective way you can.

Anxiety is often a build-up of
“unfinished business” we need
take care of but would rather
avoid. Take actions to tie up any
loose ends and you may find
that your anxiety level decreases
dramatically.

If anxiety persists, you may
be one of 28 million Americans
who have an anxiety disorder;
infact, about one quarter of the
adult population will suffer from
an anxiety disorder at some
point in their lives. Clinicians
recognize about 12 relatively
distinct subtypes (i.e. social
phobia, agoraphobia, etc.) of
anxiety disorder.

Although anxiety is highly
treatable, very few people actu-
ally seek out the help they need.
This coming Wednesday, May
Ist, is National Anxiety Disor-
ders Screening Day. There will
be an information table in the
Campus Center lobby on that
day from 10:00-3 :00pm. Also,
confidentiall anxiety screenings
will be offered in room 375 of
the Campus Center. Also, the
University Counseling Center is
available for consultation and
counseling of anxiety disorders
and can be reached at 442-5800.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car comes to the University

On Tuesday, April 29, Peter
Borrelli and Gregory Norton of
Enterprise Rent-A-Car lectured

~ to students on sales and market-

ing techniques. . Norton is Enter-
prise’s Sales Manager in the
Hudson Valley Region, while
Borrelli is currently a successful
salesman for the same company.
Norton clearly stated that he
chose “SUNY Albany to lecture
at because is is a good area for
enterprise.” Borelli added that
“sales marketing isn’t touched in

a business majors course work “
and that enterprise is a “commu-
nity orientated company.” The
following tips and advice that
Norton and Borrelli suggested to
the audience included listening
and developing a rapport with
customers, being creative when
offering services that competi-
tors lack and taking what was

-called “ownership mentality.”

This marketing term represents
that attitude of the salesman
putting all efforts for the compa-
ny’s prosperity. Both speakers
also recommended that salespeo-
ple understand competitors
strengths and ‘weaknesses by

renting cars from competitors,

_ reading literature, and compiling

competitors business reports.
Borelli summed up his advice by

Stating to me “be creative and
‘ competitive” in the business

Zina Cary’s job consists of working with stu-

with any question is taken by the board of the
group. Cary said that last year, they were able to

mental protection, consumer action, higher educa-
tion and other smaller issues. She personally has

Higher education remains the main concern of|
Zina Cary, and has not always been the easiest
task for her, particularly after Gov. Pataki took the
reigns of the state last year. On the course of
action against the budget cuts, NYPIRG organized
last year with her contribution, an important rally
around the capitol. 8,000 students gathered in their
protest against cuts in the funds for higher educa-
tion. This was followed by smaller rallies and
news conferences aiming at “Raising students
awareness about Parliament and empowering
them in their action.”

Cary considers that the action of the group was
rather fruitful. Though not immediate, the results
of their struggle saw the light. She sights the

Iowa State celebrates the 75th anniver-
sary giving women the right to vote

(CPS) Last fall, on the 75th
anniversary marking the passage
of the Constitutional amendment
giving women the right to vote,
Iowa State University paid trib-
ute to a famous alumna and suf-
fragist.

The Old Botany building was
renovated and renamed in honor
of Iowa State grad Carrie Chap-
man Catt a crusader for the 1 9th
Amendment and ‘founder of the
League of Women Voters.

But to some, naming a build-
ing after Catt was more of a dis-
grace than an honor.

Although Catt was a leader in

._ the women’s rights movement,

her views on race were less than
progressive, say some. scholars.
In a 1919 speech to win support
for the 19th amendment in two
Southern states, she said: “White
supremacy will be strengthened,
not weakened, by women’s suf-
frage.”

In defense of that remark, Catt
supporters emphasize that she
was a product of her times and a
woman trying to win Southern
support for her cause. As it turns
out, she was unsuccessful. Nei-
ther Mississippi nor South Car-
olina, where she gave the speech
on two separate occasions,
would ratify the amendment.

Critics, however, charge that
Catt was a racist who also want-
ed to prohibit uneducated immi-
grants from voting and referred
to Indians as “savages.”

~

Meron Wondwosen, a black
sophomore at Iowa State, has led
an On-campus movement to take
Catt’s name off the building. She
calls the defense of the suffrag-
ist’s racist remarks an example
of “political expediency.”

“It doesn’t make it right then,

- and it doesn’t make it: right

now,” she said. “Morality and

. treating people with human dig-

nity is not something you can
compromise on.”

Wondwosen, working with
faculty, students and staff, has

collected letters signed by vari-.

ous members of the campus
community. The letters ask Iowa
State President Martin Jischke to
take Catt’s name off the build-
ing. So far, they have sent 156
letters to his office.

“This is something deeper than
a name change,” she said. “This
is about eradicating a mindset
that says its OK to support the
ideology of racism.”

The controversial remarks
were no secret when the hall,
which houses the College of Lib-
eral Arts and Sciences, was
renamed by the university.

And so far, the university has
no plans to change the name
again.

“While I don’t support every-
thing that Carrie Chapman Catt
did or said, I believe her contri-
bution to women’s suffrage and
world peace are worthy of the

recognition that the university
has given her,” President Jischke
said.

Still, the university is under
pressure to reconsider its deci-
sion to honor Catt. The local
chapter of the NAACP has
demanded ISU change the name
to demonstrate that the school
will not tolerate racism.

Wondwosen argues that Catt
only fought for the voting rights
of upper-class, educated white
women, not for women of color
or women with less education.

“T feel that a true woman and
true feminist should fight for the
rights of all people at all times,”
she said.

Dan Mangan, a senior and stu-
dent government president, said
he and a majority of Iowa State
students are Catt supporters.
Because of Catt’s accomplish-
ments, there is no reason to justi-
fy the renaming of the building
in her name, he said.

“How do you justify the Jeffer-
son Memorial? He owned
slaves,” Mangan said. “We
accept that these people in the
context of the times . . . did these
things. But that doesn’t take
away from their contributions.”

Yale students refuse to pay tuition until strike is resolved

(CPS)—A coalition of Yale Uni-
versity students are refusing to
pay their fall tuition in order to
pressure the university to resolve
contract negotiations with strik-

‘ing food sérvice and custodial

workers.

_On the same day that the Stu-
dent Labor Action Coalition’s
announced their plan to withhold
nearly $1.6 million in tuition
payments. 31 students were
arrested after staging a sit-in at.
the president’s office to protest
Yale’s failure to settle the strike.

More than 1,000 workers
walked off the job March 28,
shutting down Yale’s 12 residen-
tial college dining halls and leav-
ing trash uncollected. Talks
between the union and adminis-
trators broke down when Yale
said it would subcontract some
services.

Members of the Student Labor

Action Coalition said they hope
more than 100 students will
withhold their $14,000 fall pay-
ment in a special escrow
account. The funds would not be
released to the university until a
strike settlement is reached.

“The university~is already not

- providing the services we paid

for this year,” said Gabriel Sny-
der, a member of the coalition.
“Why should we pay in advance
for services we have no reason to
believe will be provided next
year?”

Yale spokesman Tom Conroy

said the university expects a new

labor contract to be reached
before tuition payments are due
in the fall, which would leave
students with no reason to with-
hold payments.

He disagreed with the coali-
tion’s claim that the strike was
disrupting campus life. “In the

case of the dining halls, the stu-
dents are being reimbursed their
board money,” he said. “Every
other service is being provided,
including most importantly, edu-
cation.” .

The students arrested at Yale
President Richard Levin’s office
were charged with criminal tres-
passing and blocking free pas-
sage. They are scheduled to
appear in court in late April.

Francis Engler, a junior and
coalition member, said the
arrests “show the Yale adminis-
tration’s refusal to deal with the
issue of the strike in any con-
structive manner.”

He added that students had
wanted Levin to extend “a ges-
ture of good faith” about settling
the strike but instead “we saw
him hurrying from the back
entrance” of the building.

Kansas opens admissons to all high school grads

Past attempts by the board to
change the open admissions
standard were defeated by law-
makers. This time, state Rep.

deploring the high dropout rates
of state-university freshmen and

said. “We think our kids are

Ruthless beatings at the University of Colorado cause students to take precautions

(CPS) It’s rated as one of the
safest campuses in America. Yet
three brutal assaults have recent-
ly jarred students’ sense of secu-
rity at the University of Colorado
in Fort Collins.

The attacks follow an eerie pat-
tern, police say. All three victims
were male students walking
home after a night out drinking.
Each assault took place within
the same two block radius.

The assaults began February
23 after 22-year-old senior Neil
Carlstedt left a downtown pizze-
ria. As he walked the half-mile
toward campus, he _ was
approached by a man who fol-
lowed him and taunted him, said
Lt. Brad Hurst of the Fort
Collins Police Department.
According to Hurst, the man
shouted, “College boy! Reich
boy!” His stalker then kicked

and beat Carlstedt until the stu-
dent was unconscious. “[The
assailant] took [Carlstedt] and
laid him across the railroad
tracks.”

If Carlstedt hadn’t come to in
time, he might have been hit by a
train, said Hurst.”I think that’s
what the attacker intended,” he
said.

The second attack occurred in

the morning hours of March 29.
CU student Aaron Wagener had
celebrated his 21 st birthday. At
about 1:30 a.m. he decided he
was too drunk to drive and
would walk home. Hurst said
one or more assailants Wagener
didn’t see who or how manybeat
him unconscious. He woke up at

the bottom of the loading ramp

outside a store.
The most deadly attack was the
most recent. On April 11, Justin

Loewecke left the Pickle Barrel,
a trendy downtown restaurant
popular among students. Hurst
said witnesses report they saw -
the student playing pool at
another night spot. Loewecke
was spotted with three other men
and one matched the description
of the man Carlstedt said taunted

‘and beat him, he said.

Loewecke was found at 3 a.m.
behind the Pickle Barrel. Like
the other two victims, he’d been
robbed. But the attack had been
more violent than the other two.
Loewecke was stabbed six times
in the chest area. His head had
taken a severe beating. Rushed to
Poudre Valley Hospital, he lay in
a coma for four days.

“He still has trouble talking,”
Hurst said. Loewecke’s condition

the neurological wing of the hos-
pital.

Robert Chaffee, patrol captain
of CU’s security force, said
although each of the attacks took
place off campus, they were not
far from campus, only a few
blocks away. The security staff
has issued flyers Warning sti-
dents of the attacks and to stay

alert. “Being ‘out and about’

while intoxicated can leave you

. extremely vulnerable to crime,”

the notice cautions.
And campus cops now are

_helping the Fort Collins Police

Department patrol the area just
beyond the school’s boundaries.
“This is keeping us pretty busy,”
Chaffee said.

Ironically, CU-Fort Collins is

Online hopes to increase voter registration

(CPS) In an effort to reach young people, voter
registration booths are popping up everywhere
these days: motor vehicle departments, malls, col-
lege campuses, and now, the Internet.

MCI and Rock the Vote recently unveiled what
they are calling the first online voter registration
effort, designed to reach young potential voters,
ages 18 to 24, where they hang out on the World
Wide Web.

“Young voters don’t have to get in line to regis-
ter to vote,” said MCI Communications Director
Mark Pettit at a Capitol Hill news conference,
which kicked off the effort. “Now they simply have
to get online. It’s just a mouse click away.”

Grammy award winner Sheryl Crow demonstrat- .
ed how to use the virtual voter registration booth.
“Having just come back from Bosnia, it strikes me
everyday how precious the right to vote is,” said

NetVote °96 site or Rock the Vote’s. The voter fills
out a registration form.and then click! Electronical-
ly sends it along its way. About two weeks later,
the voter receives a completed form in the mail.

The person signs the form a necessary safeguard
against bogus registrations and sends it back to
state election officials in the envelope provided.
And just like that, organizers say, they’re regis-
tered. :

MCI and Rock the Vote acknowledge that the
new system won’t reach everyone, but they expect
it will help increase younger participation in the
1996 presidential elections.

In the 1992 presidential elections, only about
half of college age students were even registered to -
vote, and only 43 percent of that number actually
voted, according to statistics from Register Once,
the national student voter campaign.

listed as the sixth safest campus
in the West by the book “College

dents’ sense of safety continues
to be tested until the attacker is
caught.

“There’s a real sense of appre-
hension on campus right now,”
Chaffee says.

COILUNIN

It has become apparent that many people on this
campus, under the guise of unification, are really
seeking to divide and conquer. I am not at odds
with those who have formed the Queer Alliance,
but rather with their assertions about the Republi-
can Party and their lack of openness when they ask |
people to join their group.

Darrell McElroy

In the first paragraph of Mr. Campbell and Mr.
Reed’s letter, they state that their group was
formed to “bring together all people who. are not
considered part of the status-quo.” This would
‘| seem to be a broad definition, but they go on to
explain that the people who are not a part of the
status-quo are “people of color, women, the work-
ing class, the handicapped, as well as gays, les-
bians, and bisexual people.” *

What is truly onerous about this is that they then
go on to say that “the religious right, as well as the
Republican party are on a “moral crusade” to
silence the voices of all those people who were not
born white anglo-saxon men.” Let me inform the
gentlemen that the Republican Party is just as
“diverse” as the group that they seek out. In fact,
many of the people that Mr. Campbell and Mr.
Reed are looking for can very well be Republicans.

For one thing, Republican does not equal white,
male, or Anglo-Saxon, as the letter asserts. It also
does not equal Protestant, if that’s what you were

thinking. I am of Irish-Italian descent and I am not
liberal by any account. Supreme Court Justice San-
dra Day O’Connor doesn’t qualify on two of the
criteria for being a Republican. Maybe Rush Lim-
baugh brainwashed her.

I bet most people would be surprised to find out
that 40% of the union workers affiliated with AFL-
CIO vote Republican. They are part of the working
class you know. It is no surprise that many workers
are upset that $35 million dollars (union money) is
going to fund Democratic campaigns.

There are plenty of so-called “people of color”
in the party as well. Where do Supreme Court Jus-
tice Clarence Thomas, Rep. J.C. Watts, and Rep.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen fit on the list? The first two
are African Americans and the latter is a Cuban
born immigrant to the U. S. and a woman. They
don’t see the Republican Party as an attack on their
“people.” This is because the Republican Party is
not trying to assail anyone. . ;

For too long the American public has been fed
lines by the media about how Republicans don’t
care about the average citizen and that they_are try-

There is only one thing left to feel after this past year.
After the pain of losing a fellow student, the anger toward
the budget cuts, the frustration with the Student Associa-

tion, the bitterness of having Fountain Day on seemingly ~

the coldest day of spring, there is only one thing we have
yet to feel: optimism.

Why optimism after the severe year we’ve had? Where
else can you go when you’re scraping the bottom of the
bucket but up? Students who can’t afford the thousand dol-
lar hike in three semesters dropped left and right, and Pataki
keeps releasing more and more budget cuts. The worst part
of it all is that students don’t care enough to protest or even
care. .

The Student Association...ahh, where do we start with |

them? Should we discuss Larry disrobing, or Nir Menache-
mi and Brian Shapiro. being the idiots they were denying
the ASP press passes? But we’re getting ahead of the story.
How about the impeachment trial? How about the whole
fiasco of Larry and his cronies messing up the SA and los-
ing money every way they turned? (Did I mention Brian

ing to eliminate or hurt certain groups in America.
Nothing could be further from the truth. This can
be seen by taking just a cursory look at the Party’s
platform. There are radicals who skewer the
Republican message, but they do not represent a
majority of the Republicans. It is wrong to stereo-
type, no matter what side it is coming from.
Stereotypes only foster ignorance and intolerance.
We, as a nation, must wake up and realize that
we are being pitted against each other from all
sides. This nation was not created for division
throughout the whole. We are all supposed to be
Americans and, as the old adage goes, “united we
stand, divided we fall.” :
This does not mean that different beliefs cannot
be expressed. Free speech is one of the corner-
stones of this great land. When differences of opin-

Shapiro?)

A truly tragic loss were the deaths over Spring Break of

Pete Schlendorf who died in Florida, and Kimberly Toone
who died in a car accident. But a special note goes out to
the track team for using Kim’s death to complain that they

don’t get enough ASP coverage.

To top off this fairly crappy year, it snowed on the morn-
ing of Fountain Day.

Well, what a year, huh? The one thing we haven’t been
this year is optimistic. No one really cared about anything

this semester but the weather warming and classes ending.

Now it’s time to be optimistic and look forward instead of
blindly wishing. The budget cuts are more severe than
many people think. Why is nothing being done? The SA
needed to be disciplined and no one even knew what was
going on.

There’s a new batch of Albanites coming to this concrete
block we call our school come August. The question we
must ask ourselves is whether we can convince these stu-
dents to empower themselves, to vote, and to.make a differ-
ence. Or will these be more SUNY Apathy students who
care more about getting beer money for Friday than saving
the school system?

There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic now. This
Siberian hell hole we call home is beginning to thaw out, a
new chancellor and SUNYA president will soon take the
reigns of power, and Mike Castrilli is in the SA as. well.
After the year full of downs we’ ve had, it is about time we
turn ourselves around and face the sun that is finally rising
over our frozen campus. It’s time to open our minds.

Picture this: You just got off the phone with a friend of
yours. He’s complaining that he won't be able to get into
the classes he needs in order to graduate on time because
the Business and Accounting Department is being down-
sized. You spoke to someone last night who told you it’s
possible she won’t be able to take any Africana Studies
classes because the department might close. Deciding to

Elissa H. Nelson

take some spare time for yourself before it’s your turn to
register for classes, you take a walk to the Campus
Center Extension, get something from one of the fast
food places, sit down inside, and gaze out at the Senior

Fountain that hasn’t been turned on yet because it’s still -

too cold outside. It’s almost your time to register so you
head back to your dorm and watch one of the movies on
University Cable. Remembering what your friends told
you about their classes, you think to yourself “it can’t be
that bad.” You call Voice Response Registration, type in
the call number for the English class you want to take,
and the electronic voice responds, “English 101 is
closed.”

The English Department seems to have been hit the
hardest by the recent cut backs. According to Judith
Johnson, Chair of the English Department, over the last
eight years, 17 tenured professors decided to take an
early retirement. However, the department has not been
given the authority to rehire staff for these positions.
Meanwhile, the number of students in the department
has increased. Some classes are taught by graduate assis-
tants, but their qualifications aren’t up to professor stan-
dards. Full-time lecturers and part-time adjuncts have
been hired to teach more classes, but according to Uni-
versity regulations, certain classes have to be taught by
tenured professors.

Another problem facing the English Department is the
increase in class size. Professors have been fighting to
get smaller classes but because there are fewer teachers
and more students, it seems like a losing battle. While
trying to implement damage control, faculty is deployed
to cover certain courses in order to keep class size rea-
sonable. However, this just means elective classes are
being made larger; the requirement classes are still limit-
ed. The larger classes pose certain problems such as
restricted discussions and writing assignments. In turn,

this directly affects how much the students can get out of
their classes.

These situations are not entirely unique to any one
department; all of the departments are suffering. It
seems as though there just isn’t enough money, but look-
ing around campus, one can see an abundance of funds
being spilled into amenities. The new Campus Center
Extension with its fast food chains looks like a mini-
mall. The beautifully sculpted stone benches outside the
Extension facing the RACC (Recreation and Convoca-
tion Center) can’t even be used for most of the year
because of the cold weather. Going into any one of the
dorm rooms on the quads, one can watch free cable from
up to six cable jacks in each suite. As if that weren't
enough, there are eight movies shown 14 times each
week. A lot of these are new movies too. It can cost hun-
dreds of dollars for each new release broadcast over
these free stations.

So who is responsible for the seemingly unequal dis-
tribution of funds between educational departments and
various beautification programs? Most of the donations
to the University go through the University Advance-

ASPing For Trouble

Hey Ethan, this is the last time we’re gonna be writing this
torturous fucker known as “the column,” unless of course next
year’s editor needs us to relieve him of the duty for any number
of reasons similar to the ones we used when we made Kelly, Greg,
Natalia, etc. write it.

Jay, It's not going to be an issue considering that you'll have an
internship with a local newspaper (cross your fingers) and I'll be

busy staring at the wall n my comfortable cell, wiping my own
shit all over.

Cell, nothing. If we managed to maintain some degree of sanity
through the last year, we can survive anything. If it wasn’t Big
Stupid or La Coosa, it was trying to come up with new and
inventive excuses to weasel our way out of doing real
schoolwork. Everyone needs a talent and I think we’ve discovered
ours.

I never thought of it that way. Anyway, how are you doing in that
quarter class of yours? Have you made up the first of six exams
yet? Oh, and that incomplete from Fall ‘94? I wish I was as

3 studious as you.

First of all, smartass (dickhead seems inappropriate for a student

paper), it’s our quarter class. Second of all, if not for my generous
early morning typing tours of duty, you’d be drowning in shit’s
creek, so don’t be getting wise. And by the way, some of us
non-theater minors have real classes with real work to do, not just
“running lines” (much tougher than a ten page research paper. So
just do your little artistic thing and shut up...please.

Oh, you rat bastard (excuse me, kind readers)! You're getting all
defensive because you don’t understand my creativity. So, let me
run my lines, and live in my own little dream world at the PAC

I thought we were writing a column explaining why we were
stepping down from our prestigious positions. But maybe the
kind of overt hostility seen above proves our point better than
saying it outright. Readers can now witness the effect the ASP has
on inter-personal relationships. (Not bad for a guy who got a “Z”
in Com 101, huh?)

Sorry Jason. Seriously, the ASP has provided some benefits, like
free CDs, concert tickets, and a lifetime visitation pass to Middle
Earth. Now with all of the crucial skills [ have obtained from my

work here, I discovered I’m in love with my Mother, and writing
is fundamental.

Oh, that’s normal. Meanwhile, back on earth, what are you telling
people the reason is that we’re leaving? I tried to explain that I no
longer have the time, energy, or desire to live in the Campus

‘Center and spend my life begging writers to bring in the stories

they begged to do six months earlier. No one cared, though. They

just wanted their picture in this last issue or else they wanted to

know what we'd be doing with all the promotional CDs and
movie passes we'll be getting in, now that there are no more
issues left this semester.

I basically said the same. I think it’s about time we stray from the

glory and hardships of campus limelight. Or maybe it wasn’t in

good taste to sleep with various Central Council members-(Larry,

I’m sorry I haven’t called), UAS workers, Esther from the

§ bookstore, and the bus driver, even though she'll never let me on

with only my meal card.

Yeah, we made some screw-ups this year, especially dissing SA
which made them withhold backstage passes to Parkfest, and
fuck me if I wasn’t sobbing outright after my lifelong dream of
getting to meet the Ramones was destroyed. “1, 2, 3, 4!”

Those were the times indeed. LF laughed, I cried, pissed my pants a
few times, and came out with a close friend, with whom I’ve
spent infinite amounts of time. Relax Jay, I’m referring to Bob, the

bouncer at Cafe Hollywood. But it’s finally over! The enduring
pain and suffering will cease at last! Oh yes. Jason, what would be
considered an interesting way to end this declaration?

Thanks for reading, mom. Thanks, Mrs. Baum. Take it easy

There was a time when I was hurting,

that I knew you were by my side.

No matter what was happening, I needed you

and so you never left.

There was a time when you were the only one

who made everything better.

You wrote “Always remember, I’m as close as you need me to be”
and so I always believed it.

Now everything...hurts so much.

Waking up to another day without you...hurts so much.

To think of you and reminisce...hurts so much.

You were everything to me and | never got the chance to tell you.
You knew me better than anyone and I knew you the same.
You were always there for me and I depended on you so much.

Dear Pete, sas ‘

I’m not sure what I should write. Everytime I write, the words aren’t
strong enough to describe how I feel...they never will be. What I can say is that I
love you. You knew that and I pray everyday that you always will. But ’'m writing
this because I want you to know more than that. I want you to know that because
of you, I had faith in myself and in everything. You taught me to look on the 3
bright side and made me see it when I couldn’t do it alone. Pete, you could always
make me laugh even if I didn’t want to. You used to say, “There’s never a wrong -
time to make someone smile,” and you made an art out of it. It was the most
notorious of your talents, but only one of many. Those who were close to you,
knew how generous and compassionate you were. You would’ve done anything
for them and did when you were needed. It was the same for me. Not only were
you a good listener but you had the best advice. You spoke and I could see the
thoughts in your eyes. You spoke with everything you had and it came from your
heart. You walked into a room and it changed. I changed. You looked in my
direction and I smiled. You smiled. You walked over to me and touched my
shoulder. I’d get butterflies in my stomach and my heart would beat faster. You
consumed me with your embrace. I knew you loved me and I loved you. So many
great qualities and not enough paper to write them. But they’ll stay with me
forever and I'll miss you always. Pete, I love you and I’ll see you in heaven.

Whenever you wrote me a letter, it included verses from your favorite songs,
(usually Elvis). I used to ask you why you always did that. You’d say “because
sometimes they’re the perfect way to express how I feel.” Weil ever since I heard
“Because You Loved Me,” I could only think of you. So you were right. It is perfect
and I dedicate it to you. | ;

7a Aspects

SENTIMENTAL BULLSHIT by jason black

Does anyone give a shit? Over
the past four semesters I’ve he
writing “ASPing For Trouble,”
column inherited by me eis
receiving the ASPects editor posi-
tion. Every editor has their own
style with which they write this
column and I’ve certainly tried to
make mine unique, if not univer-
sally appealing. Weird personal
happenings have always been an
important component of the col-
umn, as have special campus hap-
penings, but sometimes, after a
last minute attempt to put some-
thing in the allotted space, I
wondered if anyone ever cared
what it was I was writing about.

Sure, my friends often read,
especially when they think there’s
a chance of seeing their name in
print. This year a bunch of people
have also approached me, telling
me they felt like they knew me,
my family, friends, and life
through the column. But that’s a
small handful compared to an
undergrad student body of 12,000,
especially when considering the

number of people who tell me

“I’ve never read The ASP,” when
they hear I’m an editor.

But for those who do read, it’s
much appreciated. People don’t
understand why I say writing the
column is torture. But imagine try-
ing to write approx. 750 words,
every week, on an interesting hap-
pening in your life; even the some-
what exaggerated events and ficti-
tious accounts are tough to come
up with. Yet even through the var-

ious tortures — writing the column,
typing out 40 minutes of an inter-
view, begging slacker writers to
get their stories in on time, nights
of finishing layout at 3 a.m. , deal-
ing with irate record and movie
company reps, etc., etc. - The ASP
has been a great experience and as
I finish this, my last issue, I’m
walking away with some great
memories.

I came to this paper in October
of my freshman year having
interned at a paper in high school
and looking for a place to
expound on my interests in enter-
tainment. I started with a John
Mellancamp review and the next

thing I knew I was asked to inter- |

view The Mighty Mighty Bos-
stones. Two and a half years later I
find myself one of the only people
who remembers a host of editors
and writers. ASPies (as we’re
called), who all seemed older and
cooler and whom I never thought
I’d be able to befriend. But in the
days of old, The ASP, like the the-
ater department or radio station,
was a well-—insulated group of
friends and I quickly got “sucked
in,” the description given to those
who instantaneously gave up
nights out and G.P.A. points to fin-
ish their section. The first time I
knew I was sucked in was when I
fell asleep to The Fresh Prince Of
Bel Air while waiting for a com-
puter to write my story on. It was
decided then, and four semesters
later I’m only now able to leave.

It would be impossible to run
through a list of all the good times

ATTENTION OFF-CAMPUS STUDENTS!
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SPRING CLEAN UP DAY IS COMING!

and memories I’ve had writing,

doing interviews, and other ASP

stuff, and really, it’s the people I
remember more than the proper
newspaper stuff. Like Kelly Bar-
clay who taught me what it meant
to describe someone as “good,” or
Mike Femenella who gave me a
confidence boosting, babbling,
drunk speech.on the reasons I
should run for editor-in-chief
(which I later realized was more
masochistic than just being
ASPects editor). And then there’s
my associate editor, Ethan.

Last year, as half my good
friends were getting increasingly
difficult to solidify plans with due
to Greek life obligations, and the
other half were getting tough to
track down for any number of
other reasons, I was spending the
bulk of my time with my friend
Ryan, a guy who lived in my hall
and someone I became best
friends with in a matter of months.
When Ryan decided to go back to
The University Of Rhode Island, I
told Ethan I was counting on him
to save me at school this year,
Ethan being one of the only guys
left I could count on to basically
chill in whatever way I felt like.

While Ethan assured me he
would be up for anything, I was
nervous about how the semester
would go. Fortunately, Ethan
came through in a big way, just
ask the scores of people who
inform us on a daily basis, “I
always see you guys together!
Does Ethan ever stay at his place?

Do you guys ever hang out with- .
out each other?” etc., etc.

So our friendship has been won-
derfully symbiotic. I’ve taught
Ethan the beauty of Jim Carroll,
Jeff Buckley, and an independent
film here and there, and Ethan’s
taught me a little on the conga
drum, a little about the beauty of
insane behavior, and how to dress
a little more like a good
surfer/skater guy. Amidst the dis-
appearing ASP writers, disap-
pointing women, and deflating
G.P.A., Ethan’s come through and
is probably the main reason I’ve
been able to stick it out through all
the mania of The ASP.

I’ve written before about the fact
that SUNY Albany’s. best trait for
me, has been acting as a terrific
resource for making good friends,
and it’s equally true for The ASP.
I'll miss being known as “The ASP
guy,” I'll miss writing without any
restrictions, doing interviews, ‘get-
ting free stuff through the posi-
tion, and lots of other things I
won’t think of until next year
when I don’t spend 40 hours a
week in these offices. But I’ve got
the clips, the friends, and the
memories to remind me why I
stayed.

So if this was as boring and
self-indulgent as it may seem, I
apologize, but for those of you
who are still reading — and those
who have been reading — I thank
you, I wonder about you, and I
beg for the next editor’s sake, keep
on eye on ASPects.

The Clean Up Day for the Pine Hills, Beverwyck & Manning Blvd. Neighborhoods is scheduled for

Saturday, May 18 1996!!

e Recyclables:

434-Cl TY.

Free trash pick up will be provided by the City of Albany based on the following guidelines:

e Regular trash must be bagged or placed in trash containers.

Volunteers are Welcome!

® All refuse and recyclable materials are to be placed curbside no earlier than 7:00 pm of the evening prior to the
scheduled clean up day or later than 8:00 am on the morning of the clean up day.

(a) Glass, metal and plastic containers are to be placed loosely at the bottom of your recycling bin,
(b) Paper is to be put in a paper bag or tied and placed in the recycling bin on top of the containers (space permitting).
(c) Old appliances such as refrigerators must have doors removed. |

e NO hazardous substances such as aerosols, auto fluids, asbestos, cleaners, chemicals, fertilizers, gas or propane
tanks, herbicides, insecticides, batteries, paint, medical waste or solvents will be collected at the Spring Clean Up.

Albany WILL accept these hazardous substances at either of its Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days
scheduled for May 18 and September 21, 1996. The location is the ANSWERS landfill off of Rapp Road. More
information will be available as these dates approach.

° Furniture and other bulky items must be placed neatly and separately from other trash. Why? -
Representatives from three reuse organizations (Historic Albany Foundation, Albany County Opportunity Inc. and

Community Warehouse of Eastern Rensselaer County) will collect all salvageable items prior to collection by City
' crews. Such cooperation helps others and reduces the volume of wastes going to the landfill.

The City’s crews would like to meet you on the rnorning of your Clean Up Day and have you help in this perennial event. Ask
your neighborhood association for further details or call the City of Albany Department of General Services at 432-1144 or

Viewpoint

_So here we go again, the edito-
rial page of the ASP is filled with
angry and apathetic students that
need a place to throw trash at
other people. Want to expose
how evil someone is for the
whole student body to see? Hey,

- write an editorial for the ASP!
Want to whine about everything
and anything and hope to get the
support of others? Gee, I can
hardly wait!

Kevin DeValk

But while the editorial page
gives students an important
opportunity to discuss social crit-
icism and raise awareness of
tough issues or wrongdoings,

something seems to be missing.
All of this negative rhetoric can
become overkill, and it becomes
self-destructive. So while I have
many things to gripe about this
week, I think it is about time
somebody paid tribute to some-
thing that is actually working
properly at this university. (Yes,
you heard me right, some things
actually work properly at this
university!)

Many people have touched my
life for the better here at
SUNYA, but sadly, two of them
are graduating this semester.
These two students bucked the
trend of student apathy and tried
to make a difference on this
campus. Sadly they are leaving

us. I am referring to Tim Stadel-
mann, president of Campus Cru-
sade for Christ and Scott Crabbe.
Before I was a student here, Tim
and Scott were disillusioned
because the chapter of Crusade

here was more-or-less dead, but —

they fought to revive it. But
these two students, however
imperfect they may be in the
Lord’s eyes, did much, much
more than dedicate their ambi-
tions here to a student group.
Anyone who went to a Cru-
sade meeting felt welcomed and
appreciated. Tim and Scott spent
many hours of their time plan-
ning meetings, promoting inter-
campus Crusade events, giving
rides to church even when it was

to the point where Scott was
overloading his car. They did
this and much, much, more.They
were not afraid of doing some-
thing controversial if they
believed there would be students
that would be helped that way.
This is not to say they have done
more than the leaders of any
other Christian group, because
all of these groups are under-
appreciated here. °

But Tim and Scott are moving
on, and as they leave I feel they
should know that they have truly
been appreciated. They gave
hope to those feeling a void in
their lives, and a safe and friend-
ly atmosphere for those of us
that want to come and know how

much the Lord truly loves us in a
fellowship setting. There was
never the blinding walls of reli-
gious disagreement, the spewing
of hatred, or the proselytizing or
forcing of beliefs some people
equate with Christianity. Instead,
they showed honesty, an extreme
sense of compassion and Christ-
like sensitivity for anyone who
went to the meetings.

I am sure there are many other
great people here on this campus
that have made equally impor-
tant contributions. I am also sure
there are also many things to
invest in that are worthwhile.
Have a safe and happy summer
everyone!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The New
SUNYCard

To The Editor:

This letter is in response to the ASP
Editorial of Friday, April 19, “It’s All A

Control Thing.” As Director of Business
~ Development for the University, and Uni-
versity at Albany project manager for
SUNYCard, I'd like to take this opportu-
nity to tell you about the purpose and
function of SUNYCard and to correct sev-
eral misconceptions stated in the editorial.

SUNYCard is a universal card for stu-
dents, faculty and staff, and will contain
on one card many of the services current-
ly provided by several cards. SUNYCard
will replace existing University ID and
library cards as of the start of the Fall ‘96
semester and will function as a building
access card. In addition, at the user’s
option, SUNYCard may function as a
meal plan, Podium, or Quads Plus card.

New services, also optional to the user,
are available via SUNYCard. Students,
faculty or staff may choose to open a free,
pre-paid debit account with Citibank, with
access via SUNYCard to ATM machines
and off-campus point of sale locations uti-
lizing the NYCE or Cirrus networks.
SUNYCard may also be used at various
on-campus sales locations such as the
bookstore and any of the Campus Center
food court vendors.

SUNYCard can also provide faculty,
staff and off-campus students with a new
way to dial long distance from home. Par-
ticipants in this program will be offered
very competitive long-distance rates and
an opportunity to obtain a calling card to
stay connected to MCI as they travel
within the U.S. and internationally. As an
incentive, University members who
choose to take advantage of this program
will receive 100 free minutes of domestic
calls and 100 free minutes of international
calls.

The writer of the editorial expressed
several concerns regarding the Universi-

ty’s use of SUNYCard, which are based

on conjecture. To set the record straight:

1. Security will not know where stu-
dents are at all times. Students or profes-
sors will not have their movements elec-
tronically recorded. UPD cannot track
people’s movements at any time. SUNY-
Card will function as an exterior door key
to the dorm buildings for residential stu-
dents, and to the academic podium build-
ings for faculty/staff. The academic podi-
um buildings will remain open days and
evenings for regularly scheduled class
hours, as they currently are. Neither stu-
dents nor faculty currently use a key to
access academic podium buildings during
regularly scheduled class hours; nor will
they do so with SUNYCard. Therefore,
there is no tracking or electronic record-
ing of students, faculty or staff as they
enter or exit the academic podium build-
ings during class hours.

Residential students will use SUNY-
Card to access their dorm buildings. Fac-
ulty and staff so authorized will use
S@NYCard to access their places of busi-

ness after the academic podium buildings
have been locked for the evening. The
building access system will have the capa-
bility to retain a record of access by indi-
vidual card numbers. Therefore, an access
report may be produced as necessary, if
and when a crime has occurred and/or
security has been breached. In this regard,
SUNYCard will function as a welcome
security improvement for all University
community members.

2. The University will have no access to
financial transactions which take place
through the use of the Citibank debit
account. Participation in the Citibank
debit card account is totally optional for
students, faculty and staff. It is offered
through SUNYCard as a value added ser-
vice. If a student, faculty or staff member
signs up as a Citibank customer, all trans-
actions are confidential. The University

Semitism.

Firstly, 6,000,000 Jews died. That is an
undisputed, even conservative estimate.
History will never allow us to arrive at a
exact number of how many Jews the
Nazis murdered; too many Holocaust-sur-
vivors have past away and too many
records have been lost to time. But all of
the six million were Jews, and they were
killed expressly because they were Jews.
There was no other reason. Secondly. (and
the post-script of the article alludes to
this), before and during World War II,
there were 15,000,000 total casualties of
war. This number includes Jews, partisans
who fought against Hitler, his political
enemies such as the Communists, and
civilians who suffered under Hitler’s mili-

tarism just by virtue of residing in what -

Hitler called lebestraum - or space for the
German people.

cannot and will not receive information

on individual transactions.

A SUNYCard office will be located in
the Campus Center, in room B52, on or
about July 1. This office will replace the
existing UAS Meal Plan office located in
State Quad. Students, faculty and staff
who were not able to attend the recarding
event will be able to have their pictures
taken at the new location in the Campus
Center, throughout the summer, weekdays
between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The
office will be open for extended hours at
the beginning of the Fall semester.

We invite and encourage you to partici-
pate in the SUNYCard program. If you
have any questions, please call the

SUNYCard HELP line at 442-3061.

The Jewish
Victims

To the Editor:

More and more Europeans are claiming
that although the Jews suffered under
Hitler, the rest of Europe did too. They
carefully point out that although the Holo-
caust should be remembered, the persecu-
tion of the Jews should not dominate and
hide the suffering of others. Implicit in
this line of argument is that Jews do not
ascribe as much value to the lives of oth-
ers as they do their own. If they did, they
would be wearing stickers that say
“remember the 15,000,000” instead of
“remember the 6,000,000.” In her letter to
the editor in Tuesday’s ASP, Stephanie
Suflita related how she declined to wear a
yellow sticker because, “It was not just
Jews that were massacred in the Holo-
caust.”’ People who follow this line of rea-
soning have been known to accuse Jews
of viewing the deaths of the millions of
other people as trivial; or that Jews self-

“ishly promote their own role as victims
- while not deeming. anybody else worthy

of somber commemoration. These people
are “revisionists” - that is outright anti-

“No one, Jew or Gentile, should forget the
|suffering that these people endured.” |

Anthony Milstein

These people were simply in the way,
and as brutal as that may sound, their
annihilation was not on Hitler’s agenda.
No one, Jew or Gentile, should forget the
suffering that these people endured. Hitler
never articulated any kind of master plan
to annihilation the Slovaks because they
were Slovaks, the Poles because they
were Poles, or the French because they
were French. It is true that the less Aryan
the Nazis considered a people to be, the
worse they were treated. Of these people,
only the Jews were deemed worthy of
annihilation simply by virtue of who and
what they were - Jews.

The history of European complicity in
the Holocaust is much too evident to justi-
fy the sanctimonious tone adopted by

_ Stephanie Suflita. The Poles did little to

help the Jews, as was the case with the
Austrians, the French, the Hungarians,
and most of the other European nationali-
ties. Please do not suggest that Jews who
commemorate the Holocaust - but do not
sufficiently grieve for your ancestors - are
guilty of anything. It was the ancestors of
present-day Europeans (i.e. your ances-
tors) that did so little to mitigate and so
much to facilitate my people’s destruc-
tion. There were those who protested,
indeed there were those Gentiles who died
valiantly rescuing Jews and selflessly
opposing Hitler - let their names always
be remembered. But the vast majority of
Nazi occupied Europe responded to the
Nazi annhilation of the Jews with apathy,
indifference, and in all too many cases
enthusiastic support.

Spending

Continued from page 8

ment Office on campus or through the
Telepledge offices. According to Paul
Stack (of University Advancement), five
to six million dollars have recently been
donated to the school from various corpo-
rations and foundations, and approximate-
ly one million dollars have been donated
from alumni and parents over the past
four years through Telepledge. The peo-
ple giving the donations usually decide to
which ‘specific programs their money will
go.

However, this still does not answer the
question as to how the majority of money
the University has is distributed. Accord-
ing to Kevin Chen of Vice President Car-
lucci’s office, the University revenues go
into a general fund. This fund is a huge
pool that includes the money from tuition,
taxes, and state aid. Various departments
submit budgets and the Department of
Budget and Accounting review the sub-
missions. This is the Department respon-
sible for the distribution of funds.

There is a huge demand for all the
money in this general fund that has
recently been cut due to the reduction in
state aid. The office claims that “educa-
tion is its number one priority” and “other
programs get cut before education gets
cut.” When asked why students can’t get
into certain classes but there are free
movie stations and cable on campus, the
reply was that the individual departments
don’t seem to be handling the money
they’re allotted well and that the Universi-
ty teachers are reluctant to teach more
classes.

I am not trying to insinuate that no
money should be spent on beautification
programs. Some money has to be used in
this capacity in order for the school to
remain competitive. Obviously, if the
University isn’t appealing, it won’t attract

‘students. My objection to the Campus

Center Extension, the free movie channels
and all the other amenities is the amount
of money spent on them as opposed to the
amount spent on education. The Universi-
ty Administration has cut back on so
many departments while spending mil-
lions on beautification. Why are the stu-
dents here? Is it to sit in overcrowded
classes that many others couldn’t even get
into? Clearly education is a concern of the
University, but it‘seems as though another
reason students are here is to eat fast food
while watching free movies. Silly me, I
thought we were in school to learn.

PERSONALS

Well, here it is, my final personal of
the year, and possibly the last one
of my college career. Wow. That's
kinda difficult to believe. The ASP
has been good to me, for the most
part, So | really don’t have much to

complain about, | guess. Oh well,
here goes. Sue— | did good with the
stogies, right? Not exactly Cubans,
but the Dominican Republic is not
too far away! Anyway good luck with
your life and graduation and stuff. If
you ever stop here in sunny Albany,
you be sure to look me up, story
fairy. Natalia— It's been an decent
year, and I’m glad we got to be
friends. You are definately an inter-
esting person, uh, and don’t worry
about the dishes, I'll get them. How
many times do | have to remind you,
you don’t live there. Just kidding,
actually | think you qualify as living
there, considering you spend more
time there than Neil. Whatever, we'll
definately hang out this summer.
Dan Schlosser- Chief, what can |
say, it’s been a great year. I’m going
to miss living with you next year, you
were always there to force cookies
on, and to introduce me to the won-
derful world of the Albany bar scene.
Don’t worry, we'll hang out next year.
Thanks for spending your 21st with
me, | felt like it was my 21st too.
Remember: “No, | didn’t see her.”
Alex— Well congratulations on mov-
ing to the “good” desk. | have to
admit, that desk does rule, and I’m
going to miss it. The chair too. Oh
well. Good luck and stuff, and I’m
sure we'll hang out next year. Neil—-
It was good living with you for these
past two years, even though you
weren’t around much this year,a nd
we all were convinced you were a
super hero, fighting evil all over the
world. Dugan- All I’m saying is I’m
glad we finally started hanging out
up here in Albany. Next year will be
a blast. Duganstock is coming... this
tuesday should be excellent. Go
Yankees, and stuff. | can’t believe
Pato was at Parkfest. That was nuts.
Rob “Rrobe” Agostisi- | write your
last name so people you know will
say “Hey Rob, someone wrote
something to you in the ASP. And to
those people, | have to give a thanks
for alerting Rob to my personals.
Rrobe, what can | say, we didn’t
hang out that much but when we did,
it was memorable. Like | said to
Dugan, Duganstock is coming... 3-2
odds for you. | hope you wipe the
floor with that Cuccinello kid. Do it
for every time he called me “Bowl.”
Christy— well, being that there’s a
Hauppauge theme going on, | might
as well write one for you. Where ya
been, kid? Actually | saw you at
Parkfest, but | hadn’t seen you for a
while before that. Anyway, it was
nice having you going to my school,
even if you weren’t around much.
Next year, we'll have to hang out
more often. You and your boyfriend,
Bob. Just kidding. Erica Fischer-
you still don’t go here, but what the
hell, you’re getting a personal any-
way. If you go here next year it
would be interesting. I’m counting on
Christy to tell you about this one.
Anyway, I'll be seeing you at
Duganstock, even though you'll be
fulfilling your role, and cleaning the
house. Just joking. Ethan and
Jason- Good luck next year being
ASP-free and stuff. Thanks for letting
me do the column that one time, and .
| never want to do it-again. Ethan—
sorry we didn’t hang out much this
year, but if you’re in Albany this sum-
mer, be sure to find me. Brad,
Howie— Good working with you guys
this year, and don’t worry, | don’t
think you guys look that much alike
at all. Elissa— same goes to you,
except for the looking like brad thing.
Anyway, good luck on your finals
and stuff, and especially on the
Equality one. | haven’t opened a
book for that one since the midterm.
Josh- the photography guy. Yeah |

_ know, you never get these things, so

here it is. Good working with you
also; and congratulations on com-
pleting Dark Forces. Heather-— I’ve
never written a personal to you
before, but | think it’s about time.
Anyway, thanks for being in all my
classes this semester, and putting up
with my disorganization. Sorry about
the debate, it was a combination of
lack of sleep and my chronic disor-
ganization that caused me to have
problems getting out what | wanted
to say. Whatever, it’s over, the pro-
fessor probably loved it anyway so

_what difference does it make.

Anyway, we’ll have to hang out this
summer, ‘cause | owe you for being
a retarded debate partner.

FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1996, ALBANY STUDENT PRESS ] 1

Staff, Since | have had seven beers and
a shot, please. bear with me if these
personals make no sense whatsoever.
Okay first | want to thank you all for my
lovely graduation gift, how did you know
hat my idol is Barbie. Second | wish
here were some real words to express
he sentiment | feel for this staff. Over
he past two years you have all become
my friends, and despite all of my grip-_

Well, the semester has finally ende

and finals are approaching. As the fina
production night comes to a close, th

many hazy memories of my junior yea
are slowly coming back to me.

Fluff- After 3yrs of your insanity I'v

come to realize your fucking crazy!!!
Join the club. Stork- Congrats o

becoming the MAN! Remeber that |
have pictures from the Neil Young era i

Howie - It’s great knowing you.
Although | know you stole my wallet
you awful man, and although you
are not a virgin, | think you'll make a
great Managing Editor. Remember,
if you want to get ahead, sleep with
the boss. Brad - Trust me, Babe,
anyone can get the goody-goody
play. Did | ever tell you. that some
aspies had sex in the photo lab. And

e some blank space and say Sue we
eed to fill this. | would then dig back
eep in the recesses of my box, and
oof there was a story. Well enough
ith my babbling. Adios readers, writ-
rs, staff, and friends.

his job. Now | can write you mes-
ages. Good luck downstairs be careful
on’t turn into an asshole it’s very, very
asy. It’s something in the water. i
hink as long as you don’t drink the
ater or talk to anybody you should be
ine. It’s been great living with you.
Schlosser, It's me and you watching
.V. on the couch again next year. It’s
nice to know somethings never change.

Su

Neil, It’s going to be wierd living

your life. Don’t worry I'll give you half o
whatever Hard Copy pays me. Dev
Willams- Take a toke, Hold tha
smoke, We'll party all night long!!!
Stevieeeee Bots- Gilad you came back
to the blunted sidé of the world. Other
than that I'll probably see you for th
rest of my life so fuck off cause I’ve gol
nothing better to say to you!
Stevieeeee Z man- Hola! Thanks for
all the camels and bats. See ya on th
flipside. Howie- Your just Howie. | se
you way too much. Basically | want t
kick the shit out of you but I'll leave tha
to Jamee. Corky- | am sorry that | eve
doubted you New Jersey boys. | gues
the toxic waste has not affected you
brains as much as | thought. It must b
Casper the friendly glass tube.

Stan The Big Rex Man- Thanks a

hooking me up with this job. We finall
made the ASP. Too bad its not in th
crime blotter like we origanally planned.

they were both pretty gross looking
too. | think you’ve already figured
out my secret to keeping assistants.
Think about how | got Alex to stay.
Jason Black - Well, my brother in
the eyes of Jesus Christ, our lord in
Heaven, hallow be thy name, thy
kingdom come, blah, blah, blah.
Have a great summer. | heard you
are going to Europe. Remember: if
you run out of food, don’t be afraid
to steal. Dan Schlosser - Only god
knows what I’m going to do for you
on Friday evening. Well, atleast
Greg’s not doing it this time. Wow,
this sounds really sexual. I’m sure I'll
be seeing plenty of you next year,
and | don’t mean because you pee
with the door open. Alex - Two car
accidents is enough for now. I’ve
never been so happy to have the
worst hang over in my life.
Natalia

how to pick up drunk women. Sue-
Congratulations on entering your post-
SUNYA life. If you ever get bored in _

Greg- It’s been great working with you.
Remeber, Howie is the deranged, mis-
figured freak and I’m the Handsome,
helpful associate. Rooder- | could try
and rhyme as many names with your.

next year. Ask Howie, I’m sure he ha
a few tips on how to survive a semeste
on the luxurious futon. Sheba- You

ing to you. Remember, cars hurt an
your owner is a freak!!! We'll I’m jus
about out of stamina so | hope tha
everone has a great summer an
comes back to the ever so excitin
SUN‘ Albany with a good story and

few less brain cells.

Brad Cohen

Oh Well Natalia- Thank you very a

My first semester as Editor in Chief
is finally over and, although | am sad
to see it go, | am not unhappy about
having sleep. | have many people to
thank and leave witty-yet-heart
warming comments to. Here goes:
Sue- Where else can | start but the
beginning. It’s just like Law and
Order where all the other characters
leave except for one. That’s you and
me, babe. And now it’s just me. In
the immortal words of Smurfette:
‘Boo, hoo. It’s. been real, and fun. |
hope you can use Barbie as an
inspiration. maybe one“day you can
be top heavy, walk in spikes, and
wear really tacky, taffita clothing.
Lucky you!! Good luck jn life. | will
always be your crack baby (sniff,
sniff). Greg - So you're leaving me
too, huh? | feel so empty and alone
inside. Well, don’t get too caught up
with the down stairs bull shit. You
are one mean fill box author, and
gambler. | think you'll make a great
professional gambler. | also think |
should get a cut of the profit. After
all, | bought you your first set of
chips. Just kick the juice and you'll
be fine. This is an intervention,
Greg. | know they call you Cleopatra
because your the Queen of Denial.
(say it out loud) Sarah - | know I’ve
been awful. Trust me, I’ve become a
self-flagullant (that has nothing to do
with gas or anything). | can’t tell you
how much I'll miss you, but | have
already began a list for your roo-
mates in Italy of what my favorite
habits of yours. Like when you drop
everything you can while I’m sleep-
ing. Or how you sleep with the TV
on. Or how you let your alarm clock
going on and on and on. Gee, |
could go on for several more
columns, but | think that’s a good
start. We had a great time, babe.
Broadway shows, the bahamas, get-
ting drunk on coolers and smoking
cigarettes. Thanks for a great two
years. | never met a hill billy before —
you, and now | feel cultured. Have
fun in Italy, and get some hairy man.
Dijon - | know I'll see you around

Hello, and good morni9ng to all you
fools that are up at this hour, oh I’m
sorry that’s just me. | have no clue
what | want to come out of my
mouth right now so if it doesn’t make
sense, suck it up. This year has
gone by so fast, | don’t know where
to start. Well at the begining | was
Living with seve lovely girls, that |
had to give up for what is now
something that brings great happi-
ness into my life, my dog Sheba,
you all have probably seen her
hanging out on the podium, big
black and white huskie. She’s real
cute. This was why | had to leave,
so | moved in with some friends, but
especially barged right into the life of
STEVEE RAY BOTS. So bots and |
became real close till the end of the
semster when | moved out.. | recall
one fond memory that we shared
with Bradley. My birthday fell right in
the middle of Phish tour, which | was
partaking in, so after traveling back
and forth to UMASS, the second
night we ran into a blizzard which
happen to suck, because it took like
eight hours to get home. Enogh
with bots, there Six others that |
livce with. Try living with these peo-
ple, it just adds to the crazyness in .
my life. Fluff Well | always need to
go sking, so that were you fit in. Oh
yeah by the way, enquiring minds
want to know what you really do
behind close doors, when you say
your studing? Devo well you know
you won't receive the two dollars |
owe you, so stop bugging me. Hey
KASS! | might have to take a pin
and pop your big head after this
weeks issue, but anyway, who is
going to forget to give you mes-
sages next year. That’s where MIKE
come inot play, you think I’m gone
wait till you live with my brother.
Jamee this is all | have to say to
you. Well here to the outsiders, Mr.
Zimbabway, how you doing? Don’t
you realize that I’m allegic to cats,

‘after those days in DA! Roots this

is.all that you ever wanted out of
life, to be placed once in the ASP.
Well here it is. Sue, | don’t know
how to put this thank you, and |
sorry to see youleave, and only
wish we could have hung out a little
longer on that fourth floor. Take
care of yourself out there, don’t get
hurt. Carly, you'll probably never
see this, but | understand all that
you feel, and have finally come to
realize that this world is absolutly a
horrible place to live. To the rest of
the staff | will be seeing you real
soon, so I'll save my bullshit for the
end of next year, when most of us
graduate. Brad, | expect some
good cooking next year, and won't
settle for anything uncivilized. If |
left anyone out, please don’t take it
personally, | just don’t give a shit
about you, HA!hA! But on a
recently breaking story, | am out of
here for the summer and | will be
back in the fall, probably, more
fucked up in the head than | ever
was. So Goodnight. HOWARD
GREENFIELD

this summer. You can hook up with
my housemate or something.

ping | will miss you all, and | know you

ill all miss my melodic voice floating
hrough these halls yelling Alannis
Morissette, and “Kevin!”

ason—You were the first one to extend
a hand to me, and make me feel part of
his insanity. Thank you for all the free

ds, the free advice, and the strong

houlder to cry whenever anything
got too overwhelming. Greg—Yo
man fantastic stogies. I’m drawing
a bit of blank what to say (it must
be that sixth beer). Anyway I will
ertainly miss your enthusiaism

or computer programs, and your
trange, but likeable sense of
humor. Nat-Jesus Christ, what *
am | going to do when | want to
hear a story about a guilotine.
Guess I'll just read some old fill
boxes. Alex—Arent you thrilled

hat you joined this insane asu-
lym? Lord knows I’m glad you

ere there. Ethan—E-t-h-a-n,
hanks for always giving me a
kiss, and a big hug. You don’t
know how many days | really

without you next year. Three years
can you believe it. Why are we as
clueless now as we were three
years ago. To tell you the truth we
will probably be just as confused
three years fron now. It’s been
great. We will hang out next year.

Aww Greg, Thank you for getting me |

hat can be better than getting out of
he hole we live in. 224 Ontario here
e come.

NCAA review panel allows Northwestern football star to act in an upcoming film

(CPS)-The NCAA has ruled that
Darnell Autry, a star football
player who helped lead North-
western University to this year’s
Rose Bowl, can accept a role in a
commercial movie.

Earlier, the NCAA had threat-
ened to strip Autry, a sophomore
theater major, of his remaining
two seasons of eligibility if he
took the minor-speaking role in
“The Eighteenth Angel.” The
NCAA forbids student-athletes
from receiving preferential treat-
ment, such as starring in com-
mercial films.

An NCAA review panel decid-

gain professional experience.

“The part in the film is not relat-

ed to his participation or status as
an athlete,” the panel ruled.
.Before gaining the NCAA’s
permission, however, Autry had
to go to court. Despite three writ-

- ten requests to the NCAA by

Northwestern officials on Autry’s

_ behalf, the panel ruled Feb. 23

that he could not take part in the
film without jeopardizing his
remaining athletic eligibility.
Autry won a temporary restrain-
ing order from a Chicago judge,
blocking the NCAA from taking
action against him for appearing
in “The Eighteenth Angel.”
Autry’s suit argued the ruling
violated the NCAA Constitution,

which states that “student-ath-
letes’ participation in sports
should be motivated primarily by
education.”

_ According to Autry’s attor-
neys, the NCAA was not placing
the running back’s academic and
athletic interests on equal foot-
ing. “Although the ‘student ath-
lete’ is free to pursue his athlet-
ic interests, the NCAA has

‘ declared that he cannot pursue

his academic interests,” the
lawsuit claimed. “The NCAA
has repudiated the promise in
its constitution to advance, not
impede, the education of the
students it-supposedly pro-
tects.”

1.4 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1996

Students seem to be getting tired of neighbors smoking marijuana

°6,624 auto thefts, down 8.2
percent from 7,219.
eAbout 1,500 weapons viola-
tions, which remained steady.

(CPS)—For the third straight year,
the number of drug arrests on
college campuses is on the rise,
according to a new survey by the
Chronicle of Higher Education.

The 1994 figures reveal 6,138
drug violations, 23 percent more
than in 1993. That follows
increases of 34 percent in 1993
and 46 percent in 1992.

The numbers might more accu-
rately reflect an increase in
enforcement rather than an
increase in drug use by students,
college officials surveyed said. In
fact, recent surveys indicate that
drug use by students has
increased only slightly this
decade.

“Students are getting tired of
living next door to someone who
smokes marijuana,” Sgt. Roberta
‘Boyd of the Northwest Missouri
State University police depart-
ment told the Chronicle. At that
school, arrests jumped from two
in 1993 to 37 in 1994. “We got
more tips, and we made arrests

ed:

off those tips.”

Arrests for alcohol-related
offenses also went up significant-
ly, the survey found. The number
of violations in 1994 jumped 5.6
percent from the year before,
whereas the violations in 1993
and 1992 increased less than 1
percent. -

The Chronicle surveyed 831
colleges with more than 5,000
students. Colleges that receive
federal funds are required to
compile a report of campus
crime statistics and provide them

t,o students and staff.

The campus survey also report-

°19 murders in 1994, compared
with 15 in 1993.

°1,001 forcible sex offenses, up
12 percent from 892.

¢],375 robberies, up less than 1
percent from 1993.

°3,049 aggravated assaults,
down 3 percent from 3,140.

°19,172 burglaries, down 7.4
percent from 20,693.

Student erotic toon page targeted by justice department

(CPS) Chip Hamilton’s student
web page is titled “La Casa del
Diablo” and features an odd mix
of devil images, vampire refer-
ences and Emily Dickinson
poems.

Until recently, the Duke Uni-
versity junior’s page also directed
visitors to “Chip’s Erotic Toon
and Anime Page,” which consist-
ed of “several amusing pictures
of various Disney cartoon charac-
ters in, shall we say. the buff,”
Hamilton explained.

But Hamilton recently removed
the nude cartoon characters after
his web page was cited April 12
by U.S. Justice Department
lawyers as an example of sexual-
ly explicit material on the Inter-
net that should not be seen by
children.

During the past month, a three
judge panel in Philadelphia has

been considering the constitution- -

ality of the Communications
Decency Act, which is designed
to keep “indecent” or “patently
offensive” Internet material away
from minors.

Civil-liberties groups are chal-
lenging the law part of the
Telecommunications Act signed
by President Clinton in February
and say that it violates free-
speech rights.

During a hearing before the
three judge panel, government
lawyers also noted three other
student pages among 50 selected

sexually explicit material. The
student sites found at Michigan
State University, the University
of Texas at Austin and Whitman
College in Walla Walla, Wash, all
featured images of naked women,

sites, each of which contained:

according to the Justice Depart-
ment.

Hamilton’s site included car-
toon characters, such as Jasmine
from the Disney movie
“Aladdin,” in sexual poses. Chil-
dren doing a word search for
“Jasmine” could be linked to his
page, noted the Justice Depart-
ment. .

Although the nuke student said
the images would not fall under
what he calls “current notions of
pornography,” he believes that
“children should not have access
to this kind of material.”

That’s why his page was coded
to prevent young users from gain-
ing access to it, he said. Any user
whose parents are registered with
SafeSurf, one of several software
programs that works to prevents
minors from running across
offensive material, would be
locked out of his page, he added.

It’s up to parents and schools to
use such software or other means
if they want to prevent children
from accessing offensive materi-
al, Hamilton said.

“While I find some material on
the Web offensive and would not
encourage anyone to place that
type of material on the Web,” he
said, “I have no right to prevent
people from doing so, and neither
does the government.”

Hamilton said he removed the
cartoon characters to avoid possi-
ble prosecution under the new
law.

Betty Le Compagnon, vice-
provost for information technolo-
gy at Duke, said the university].
does not have a policy restricting
content on student pages.

NHL playoffs reach second round

By THomMAs MCMAHON
Sports Editor

The 1996 National Hockey League playoffs have
now made their way into the second round. No first
round series went to seven games, and for the first
time since 1988 seven of the top eight seeds made it
to the second round. The only exception was the St.
Louis Blues led by Wayne Gretzky. Now that the
second round matchups are set, here’s how I see the
series’ going.

Flyers vs. Panthers: The Tampa Bay Lightning
did one thing that no one in the NHL wanted them
to do. They woke up Philadelphia and made them
mad. The Flyers have a bunch a big bruisers, and
now they have a bunch a big, and mad bruisers. The
Panthers will be lucky if they have enough players
left to finish the series. Eric Lindross has been doing
nothing but bleeding, taking dives, and hitting cheap
all throughout the playoffs. I expect nothing less in
this series from the big baby, but as usual he will get
away with it, just like Michael Jordan gets away
with everything in the NBA. Flyers in five, and the
only reason I give Florida a game is because of the a
former Ranger that is between the pipes for them.

Penguins vs. Rangers: This will be fun. Pitts-
burgh has all the offensive weapons, including Peter
Nedved who has probably scored more goals in this
seasons playoffs than he did all of last season for
New York. The Rangers have won four straight, and
now get some rest for their old, and aching bones.

This team can win playoffs games anywhere, so

home ice doesn’t mean much in this series. The Pen-
guin hope that Mario Lemieux can play every game
from now on and that Jaromir Jagr can regain the
form he showed all season long. The last time these
two teams met in the playoffs was in 1993. Remem-
ber the Adam Graves slashing Mario Lemieux inci-
dent. Well, not only does Graves have something to
prove in this series, so does Mike Richter. Richter
allowed probably the worst goal of his career in this
series in 1993, but has since become a confident and
outstanding goalie in the playoffs. You can bet he’s
looking forward to redeeming himself. Rangers in
six, with games two and five going to the Penguins.
Red Wings vs. Blues: Detroit made it past the
first round, and can finally play some hockey. They

won’t worry about being embarrassed anymore,’

they’ll just worry about winning the Stanley Cup.
St. Louis has gone with back-up goalie John Casey
since Grant Fuhr was injured, and even though
reports say that Fuhr might be able to play, I doubt
it. I also doubt that the Blues will even win a game

in this series. Wayne Gretzky can’t carry a team
anymore, and even with Brett Hull, this team needs
more. A back-up goaltender doesn’t cut it against
the Red Wings potent offense, and that is just what
St. Louis is playing with. Mike Keenan will proba-
bly make a fool of himself sometime during this
series out of frustration, but would you expect any-
thing else from him? Detroit’s line of Russian’s will
dominate this series. Red Wings in four, and look
for Detroit to average close to six goals per game.
Avalanche vs. Blackhawks: This will be a great
series to watch. Both team are talented, with the

edge going to Colorado. Both teams are physical,

with the edge going to Chicago. There is probably
nothing the Blackhawks want more than to face
Detroit in the playoffs and have a chance to knock
them out, but they will have to get by the Avalanche
first. Colorado has built on last years playoff experi-
ence (even though it was short-lived), and now
added one of the best playoff goalies ever. Patrick
Roy has now reached his time of year. He is one of

only three goalies in the league that can dominate a | ~

game. I look for him to play well as usual, but for
Chicago to even be physical with him by charging
the net and poking him. Avalanche in seven, this is
going to be a great series and Roy will shutout the
Blackhawks in game seven to win it.

In the conference finals, I look for the Rangers to
be able to bang with the Flyers, and beat them. It
will be like old times in the Garden when 15,000
plus fans begin chanting “We want Hextall”, and
“Hexxxtallillll”. This is the round that will prove
Neil Smith to be a hockey genius. All the moves the
Rangers made will pay off and experience will win
over the younger Flyers. I see the Rangers advanc-
ing in a brutal seven game series.

In the Western Conference Final, Detroit’s luck
runs out, and Patrick Roy is outstanding in shutting
down the leagues most powerful offense. The Red
Wings may have won the most games in the regular
season, but this isn’t the regular season. Colorado is
probably the only team that could match Detroit’s
offensive power, and even surpass it. Peter Forsberg
will be the series’ best offensive player, but Roy
wins the MVP. Colorado takes this one in six when
they get the Red Wings flashing back to past playoff
performances.

In the Stanley Cup Final, need I say, Rangers in
four! Enough said.

Second Division II season coming

By THoMas MCMAHON
Sports Editor

The University at Albany made
the decision to move to the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association Division II level last
year. This year, Great Dane teams
competed against the tougher
competition for the first full sea-
son.

At the time of the move to
Division II, there were many
questions that arose about the
universities motive, and how they
would be able to compete.

Well, with one full season in
the books, Albany has already
proven themselves as a major
competitor in Division II.

The football team is making
changes left and right to improve
on their 3-7 season in the fall.

Both men’s and women’s soc-
cer had successful seasons, along
with the women’s tennis team,
who won the New England Colle-
giate Conference Tournament,
and compiled the school’s best
record ever.

The men’s and women’s bas-
ketball teams also proved to be
factors in the NECC. The men
advanced to the playoffs before
losing a one-point game at the
number one ranked LeMoyne
College. The Lady Danes
advance to the NECC semi-finals
before bowing down.

The indoor track and field
team continued their success with
a good season from both the men

and the women. Track and field
has always been one of the top
programs at Albany and nothing
changed this season.

In the spring, the baseball team
surpassed last years win total
with over ten games remaining in
the season.

The softball team was around
the .500 mark all season before
sputtering down the stretch.

The men’s lacrosse team. won
the Capital District Lacrosse
League Championship, and is
currently 6—6 with one game to
play.

The women’s lacrosse team has
won seven of eight games and

now stands with a 7-3 record
against tough competition.
The track and field team has

* competed at many national meets,

and is in the middle of yet anoth-
er stellar season.

The women’s tennis team con-
tinued their success from the fall
and has continued to win meets.

Also, women’s golf competed
in their first ever season here at
the University at Albany.

Each team will continue to

‘improve as the Albany athletic

department prepares for their sec-
ond season at the Division II
level.

DANE NOTES

Continued from back page

The Lady Danes were led by
senior attack Debbie August,
who scored five goals, and
Lynn Barringer, who added
four goals and an assist. Senior
Jenn O’Donnell tallied two
goals and three assists for the
Great Danes, who-improve to
7-3, after starting the season
0-2.

The University at Albany
football team announced their
schedule for the 1996 season.
The Great Danes open up the
season on September 7, at
home, against Central Con-
necticut State. Other Albany
home games include Mercy-
hurst (Sept. 14), Union (Oct.
12), Gannon (Oct. 26), and
Trenton St. (Nov. 9). Albany
travels to play St. Lawrence,
Rensselaer, Stony Brook, Pace,
and King’s College.

The Lady Danes tennis team
defeated Oneonta State 6-3 on
Thursday. Albany got wins in
the singles matches from Mary
Wood (6-2, 6-4), Eriko Take-
mura (6-3, 6-4), Dena
Reinisch (6—4, 6-4), Marcia

Piper (6-4, 6-2), and Anne

Marie Schumacher (4—6, 6-3,
6-2). The doubles teams of
Reinisch and‘ Piper (8-6), and
Lindsey Hartman and Schu-

macher (8-3) also earned wins —

for the Lady Danes.

The Albany baseball team |

won a 9-0 forfeit decision over
New Paltz yesterday. New Paltz
(4-15) was leading the game

6-5 in the top of the sixth,
when both of their coaches
were ejected from the game.
Since the game was official, all
the statistics count, but no
pitchers get decisions since
Albany was trailing at the time
of the forfeit. The win snapped
the Great Danes nine game los-
ing streak, and improved their
record to 13-20-1. Josh Finn
had an RBI double for Albany.

Also yesterday, the Albany
softball team swept a double
header from Russell Sage col-
lege. The Lady Danes took the
opener 3-1, and the nightcap
10-5, to snap a five game los-
ing streak. Amy McGroty
tossed a complete game in the
opener, and Janine Menard
lined an RBI triple and scored
during Albany’s three-run third
inning.

In the second game, Julie
Tighe picked up the victory on
the mound, and went 3-4 at the
plate with four RBI and two
runs scored to lead the Lady
Danes to victory. Junior catcher
Ellen Braun collected four
hits, four RBI and smacked two
triples for Albany (13-17) in
the twinbill.

Albany River Rats get ousted by Cornwall Aces

By DONALD MILLER
AND JARED TROPP

There is an unwritten rule in
hockey which states that if you
finish as the top seed in the

_leagué, you have an easy ride
through the playoffs. The one
thing that was not stated in this
rule was. to watch out for the
Cornwall Aces. With this being
the last year of Cornwall’s exis-
tence, the Aces stood with noth-
ing to lose and everything to
gain.

After splitting the first two
games of the best of five series at
the Knickerbocker Arena, the
Rats and the Aces traveled to
Cornwall for games three and
four. The Aces, backed by the
brilliant goaltending of J. F.
Labbe, took both of these games

with scores of 3-0 and 2-1 (OT).

With these two wins, Cornwall
took the series three games to
one, thus eliminating Albany
from the playoffs.

Game three featured a solid
defensive effort on the part of
both teams. The Aces found the
net first with approximately three
minutes left in the second period,
when defensemen Anders Myr-
vold scored his first goal of the
playoffs. Cornwall added two
more goals in the third session,

power play, and the other by
Christian Matte, to win the
game 3-0. Aces goaltender,
Labbe, stopped all 23 shots that
he faced for the shutout, while
Mike Dunham stopped 11 of the
14 shots he faced. ~

Game fopur was a must win
for the Rats, and they came out
pumped up for the start of the
game. Albany took command of
the play early, which forced
Labbe to come up with several
spectacular saves. Aces right
winger Paul Brousseau gave the
Aces a 1-0 lead with about five
minutes left in the first period.
They carried this lead into the
locker room despite being out-
shot 17-10. During the middle
period, Albany took eleven
shots. Cornwall took eight shots,
but neither team scored. The
Aces had a 1-0 lead heading into
the third period.

Albany found the net for the
first time in two games at the
four minute mark, when Denis
Pederson tallied his. first goal of
the playoffs. Albany, having
ended their scoreless streak,
seemed rejuvenated. They took
command of the game and creat-
ed numerous quality scoring
chances for themselves. But it
was Labbe who would prevail
for the Aces as he stopped 10 of
the 11 shots that he faced in the

<

period to force overtime. Mean-
while, the Rats defense held the
Aces to just one shot helping
Mike Dunham to preserve the
tie.

Early in sudden death, center
Eric Veilleux ended the game,
and the series, when he scored
his first goal of the playoffs at
1:53. Cornwall had won the
game 2-1, and advanced to the
second round of the playoffs,
three games to one. Labbe
stopped 39 of the 40 shots he
faced, while Dunham stopped 18
of 20 shots.

***Notes- and ~ Quotes:
Albany’s season, filled with so
much promise, came to an abrupt
end. After accumulating 115
points in the regular season, the
second best total in AHL history,
the River Rats were favored to

win it all. The Calder Cup-

Champs underestimated the
desire of the Cornwall team.
This just goes to prove that
everyone has an equal chance at
the start of the playoffs. This
isn’t the first time that such an
upset has occurred, and it cer-
tainly will not be the last...This
season, six of the eight first
round series were won by the
lower seeds...Coach Ftorek was
named AHL coach of the year
for the second straight season.
Voting is done before the’ play-

offs start...Numerous Albany
players will be challenging for
jobs in New Jersey next season.
Steve Sullivan, Mike Dunham,
and several other Rats have
earned their shot...Cornwall will
face Rochester in the second
round. Rochester swept the

games to none behind the stellar
goaltending of second year pro
Steve Shields.

On behalf of the Rats, we
would like to say thank you to
all who came out and supported
the Albany River Rats this sea-
son. See you next season; the

Adirondack Red Wings three

The Albany AlleyCats, a professional
soccer team, signed former University at
Albany soccer standout Chris Mogavero
to a contract for this upcoming season.
Mogavero is only the second Albany grad-
uate ever to be selected tu play for the All-
eyCats. Albany plays games throughout
the summer and hosts games at University
Field on the Great Danes campus.

Yesterday, the Great Danes men’s
lacrosse team hosted Rensselaer in a game
that decided the Capital District Lacrosse
League Championship. Rensselaer entered
the game ranked 19th in the latest National
Collegiate Athletic Association Division
III poll.

Albany fell behind early, and trailed
10-5 at the half. The Great Danes came
back in the second half and tied the score
at twelve on a goal by David DeVito with
5:34 to play. Rensselaer (10-3) took a
13-12 lead 55 seconds later, but Mike
McCarthy netted the equalizer minutes
later. Albany took the lead for good when
Mike Angel scored his fourth goal of the
game with 2:09 remaining. Ralphie Mon-
tera made nine saves to help the Great
Danes capture their first Capital Cup since
1992. Albany won four of their last six
games to finish the season 6-6.

Albany’s women’s lacrosse team
defeated St. Michael’s 16-7 last Friday.
