Leading By Six With 73 Seconds Left,
Albany Hands Cardinals 60-58 OT Win

hy Paul Schwartz
(PLATTSBURGH) The clock was
funning down, and finally, Albany
seemed to be in control, Only 73
seconds remained, and the Danes
had fought their way toa 52-46 lead
ver Plattsburgh, A victory over the
Cardinals would virtually assure
Albany of the SUNYAC
championship, and the prize that
comes with the title —an automatic
bid to the NCAA playoffs,

But Plattsburgh also had visions
of post-season play, and with a win,
they would be in the conference
drivers seat. Backed by a capacity
crowd in Memorial Hall, the
‘Cardinals fought back, and using a
free throw at the end of regulation
play to tie the game, defeated the
unnerved Danes in overtime
Tuesday night, 60-58,

Albany's disheartening setback

came just four days after they played
perhaps their finest game of the
season, beating Potsdam 72-69. The
Danes had opened up a nine point
lead: in the closing minutes and
coasted to the victory.

‘An incredible series of events
down the stretch made Plattsburgh a
game the Danes would like to, but
probably never could forget.
Trailing for most of the contest,
Albany used perimeter shooting to
pull ahead, and led by six with 1:13
remaining in regulation, At that
point, with time on their side, the
Danes could have run the clock
down, Instead, they became
unraveled, and handed Plattsburgh
the chances they needed.

“My kids had a lot of heart in
those last few minutes,” said
Plattsburgh coach Norm Law.
“Sometimes | think they have water
in their veins instead of blood.”

‘The Danes set up for the inbounds
play, and finding no one open inthe
backcourt, Rob Clune hurled a full-

the ball over his shoulder, turned,

US Will Protect Oil Interest

WASHINGTON (AP) The United States is prepared to use
its military force to protect the flow of oil from the Middle
East, say two members of President Carter's Cabinet.
Defense Secretary Harold Brown said Sunday the United
States would “take any action that's appropriate” to protect
the Mideast oil flow, which he said “is clearly part of our vital
interest.” In a separate interview, Energy Secretary James R.

adding that he is still “mulling over" the poss lity. But in

themes that could play a role in such a campaign, including
his push for a constitutional amendment to balance the

Venezuela to Raise Oil Price

NEW YORK (AP) The price of oil used to heat homes and
power factories may rise still further because of an apparent
increase in the price of the fuel by a key exporter, Venezuela,
The world’s fourth-largest oil producer decided over the
weekend to raise the price of some of its oil by 15 percent,
according to industry sources, There was no official
confirmation of a price increase, The oil affected reportedly
would be mostly heavy refined oil used for heating homes
and firing factory boilers. Gasoline prices probably would
not be affected by the move, because that fuel is made with a
lighter grade of oll Venezuela is a key source of heavy oil for
the East Coast of the United States. The East Coast imports
about 17 times as much of this oil as the rest of the nation,
The reported increase, effective March 1, would raise the

about $15.50 a barrel,

Joint Effort

The Albany Student Union (ASU) has formed a coalition
with various SUNYA groups to stop the tuition increase,
according to ASU member, Bruce Cronin.

The announcement came at a meeting Monday night with
‘ASU members and 28 leaders of groups such as the Feminist
Alliance, ASUBA, and Student Association. Each group
discussed possibilities for persuading people to join the anti-
tuition hike demonstration to be held 10 a.m, Wednesday at
the SUNY Plaza, during the SUNY Board of Trustees
meeting.

Leaders will be contacting members of their own groups in
order to get people out to protest, said Cronin.

ASU Chairperson Nancy Smyth, is chairing the coalition,
She has asked each group leader to gain support in endorsing
f resolution for the March 21 demonstration.

Cronin said there was an “excellent response” to the

formation of the coalition.
Smyth was very encouraged by the meeting, and said she

Refer Crisis Center Always
There For Troubled Souls

by M. J. Memmott

He says he's 49, but he looks at least 10 or 15 years older. His
orange sneakers are soaked by the slush and mud, his plaid flares look
well worn, and the jacket he’s wearing would be more appropriate for

a 15 year old.

Somehow through the drunken mumbling it becomes clear that
he's been drinking for 30 years, and been in and out of various
alcoholic programs, The man says he wants to quit, but it appears like

more talk than actual will,

“We have some people like that
who keep calling and coming in for
years,” said Project Equinox
counselor Doug Ashby, “They want
someone to talk to so they can feel
better. But if they don’t really want
to lick their problem, there’s really
nothing we can do. They haye to
want to beat it themselves.”

The man with the drinking
problem had stopped to tell his story,
at Refer, a crisis-line switchboard
Tocated at 216 Lark St., in downtown
Albany. Just one part of a group of
community services joined together
under the umbrella of Project
Equinox, Refer was formed in 1970
to provide information, referral to
other services and agencies, and
immediate help in crisis situations.

“We provide a valuable. service,
there's nothing else quite like it in

this city,” Ashby said yesterday.
“We're an alternative to the more
traditional state agencies, where the
structure is very different.”

Project Equinox, the parent
organization of Refer, contains four
other components besides the cri
line switchboard, They center
mainly around youth programs:

They provide counseling services
for youths and/or their families,
especially in cases of drug abuse,

The organization runs a shelter
to give temporary housing to
runaways and homeless youth,

*They provide outreach services
such as legal and welfare advocacy
work in the courts, should a youth
require their aid,

*And finally, they organize
various special projects, such as

Neighborhood Power OnThe Rise

by John Kennedy

“The best we've had!” That is how Harold Rubin, chairperson of
the “Love Thy, Neighborhood” Convention, described Saturday's
turnout for the annual citizen's convention on neighborhood
improvement, It is sponsored yearly by the, Council of Albany

Neighborhood Associ

lion (CANA) and sixteen local neighborhood

associations, The Third Annual Conference was held at the

West

The crowd of 300 plus heard
Rubin, who is also the president of
CANA, open the session with
remarks on the growing
neighbortiood power movement in
Albany. He cited redistribution of
Community Development funds as
one sign of increased neighborhood
strength

Conyention-goers then watched
three skits written and produced by,
other convention participants. The
plays lampooned the local
governmental practices of code
enforcement, housing rehabilitation,
and political machine problem-
solving. They were acted out by
members of local neighborhood and
civic groups,

A panel discussion entitled “Th

A highlight of the conver n was
‘a series of workshops on issues of
neighborhood concern. These
included property taxes, crime
prevention, displacement, traffic,

and zoning.
The zoning workshop was of
major concern to off-campus

The zoning workshop dealt
extensively with this issue,

Moderators of the workshop,
including Costello and Rubin, were
active proponents of the ordinance
when it was passed by the Albany
Common Council in 1975. They
‘were questioned about the ordinance
by the eight students attending the
workshop, Although the proponents
haye not changed their original
stand onthe issue, they did indicate a
willingness to work with groups such
the SUNYA Off Campus
Association (OCA) when students
are hassled by the ordinance,

Costello, Rubin, and Mike
D'Autilio of the Manning Blvd
Association have all given support to
the notion that no student should be
evicted under this ordinance during
mid-semester.

A similar concern has been yoiced in
the past by Mayor Corning.

Also featured at the convention
were displays by more than thirty
community groups, Organizations
such as United Tenants of Albany,
fends of the Pine Bush, Dispute
Mediation Center, OCA, and the
Neighborhood Anti-Crime Project
displayed their literature and had
representatives available (o answer

Collection Claimants
Find Claiming Is Hard

by Wendy Greenfield

“What good is a smail claims court if you can't collect?" demanded

one dissa

isfied claimant currently dealing with Albany Small Claims

Court, Figures recently released by the New York Public Interest
Research Group (NYPIRG) lend creedence to this complaint,
showing that only 30 percent of all claimants who haye settled ever
collect on the judgment from a Small Claims Court case,

In the City of Albany, a claim may be brought in small claims for

damages of $1000 or less, Generally,
Small Claims Courts are contained
within local courts, serving asa place
where the average individual can go
to settle money disputes without a
lawyer, Still, few persons ever collect
on their grievances.

The reasons why only 30 percent
of claimants collect their money are
numerous, according to VISTA
(Volunteers in Service to America)
Volunteer Mike Hiser, He said that
the person being sued may not have
‘enough money to cover the claim, or
may avoid payment by putting his
assets in the name of his spouse or
under the name ofanother company.

Hiser said that in some cases the
lack of payment is the fault of a
Marshal, who is the person
responsible for serving summonses
and following up the case,

Hiser added that after the Marshal
tries to collect the money and fails to
doso, hie tables the case, Hiser claims
that the Marshal is at fault in
unresolved cases, and considers this
to be true in the case of Mrs. Colleen
Wagner.

Wagner was one of three people to
haye filed suit in Albany after being
“pilked” by a construction worker
Who refused to pay back the money.
he charged them for an inefficient
job, Hiser said.

Martin, owner of the Albany Paving
Company of Colonic, The amount
filed for was $300 plus the costs of
collection,

‘A summons was sent to Martin's
address, but the Oct, 28 hearing was
cancelled as the summons went
unclaimed; either the address was
incorrect or the defendant refused it,

On the same day, Wagner went to
the City of Albany Small Claims
Court Marshal's office, where she
paid a service charge of $10 for
personal delivery of the summons,

‘The summons was served on Dec,
21 and seven days later the case was
heart in Albany Small Claims Court,
Judge Morton Lynn ruled in
Wagner's favor, Marshal Edmund
Eversly told Wagner that Martin
had two weeks to respond,

To date, Wagner has still not
collected her money, despite her
having filed a property execution in
January which allowed the Marshal
to seize the defendant's assets to
honor the judgment,

‘At this time, Martin's savings
account could possibly be onthe line
and defendant Wagner suid that the
existence of a bank account in
Martin's name represents her only
chance of collecting,

“The Marshals are lax in carrying
‘out what they are supposed to do,”

been overwhelming. There has been
a lot of experience in the last two
years with handling recombinant
DNA, and no one has gotten hurt. I
don't believe there is any danger.”

Speaking on’ the bureaucratic
aspects of recombinant DNA
research, Lerman suid that the
National Institute of Health (NIH)
has recently “changed its regulations
in terms of classifying which recom-
int experiments have to have
more stringent containinent (of
organisms) procedures. Itis possible
that the NIH might drop these
guidelines altogether as scientists are
finding that containment is not
necessary formost of the recombi-
nant organisms.” Lerman added that
“all containment regulations have
been followed here, and will con-
tinue to be followed,”

When asked why he thought the
recombinant controversy had faded,
Lerman replied that “the students
here at SUNYA have made a judg-
ment on the controversy by letting it
die down, Recently the DNA ques-
tion was brought up before the SA,
but they did not comment or act on
it, The students were simply exer-
cising their intelligence.”

Lerman added that when the
controversy first began, “scientists
realized that there were some
unknown factors which they should
discuss among themselves. Here at
SUNYA there emerged on the one
hand a group of people trying to
raise a scare, and onthe other handa
group of scientists who essentially
remained quiet on the subject. When
NYPIRG tried to organize a forum
‘on the subject in 1977, our scientists
were reluctant to participate because
they didn’t want to get into a debate

without being able to explain the
technical aspects of recombinant
DNA” 5

Lerman feels that the opposition
to recombinant DNA was made up
of many people who did not know a
sufficient amount about the subject,
with educated scientists definitely in
the minority.

someone at the soda fountain, and so
on, It's not as efficient as on the

Other UAS costs that have
increased include Social Security
benefits, the minimum wage and
liability and Workmen's
Compensation insurance, said
Zahm, When the minimum age
was increased by 27 percent last year,
it cost UAS an additional $80,000,
he said. Further increases in the
minimum wage are planned for the
next {wo years, bringing the actual
figure to $3.35 per hour by 1981
‘One of the reasons that UAS has
been able to hold board rates at their
current leyel since 1975is the volume

said Fertig. He compared
approximately 6200 students on

SUNYA's meal plans to the 3000

“When Norb goes into the market
and buys 20,000 cases of orange
ice, it’s a lot cheaper than someone
going in and buying $000,” said
Fertig,

It is UAS's “no frills” plan,
however, which has kept SUNYA
board rates the lowest in the SUNY
system, and as much as $200 per year
less than those at some SUNY
schools, said Fertig.

“Everything: is cut and dried,”
explained Fertig. “A lot of schools

“Not only can we buy cheaper

longer.”

SASU: After Hight Years -
It’s Still Working Hard

by Evelyn Elis

The Student Association of the State Universities, (SASU) is an
cight year association founded to represent SUNY students on an
equal, state-wide basis. This organization, which is made up of
delegates from member SUNY universities, lobbies in the state
legislatures on bills they feel are of great importance to all SUNY

students,

In addition, SASU is affiliated with student unions, (such as the

Albany Student Union, and SUNY
student governments in order to gain
grass root support of the
constituents. Two caucuses have
also been established by SASU in
Tecent years to represent minority
students and women.

News FOCUS

‘The organization receives it's
funding from dues paid by the
member schools (35 cents per full
time student). Out of the 24 schools,
20 are active members of SASU.
Stony Brook, Canton, Brockport
and Cobleskill are not members. Itis
reported that these four schools
dropped out due to the
establishment of the Third World
and Women’s Caucuses,

SASU was begun in 1970 by the
late Ray Glass of SUNY

Binghamton, who realized that
student governments acting alone
were nearly obsolete. Lobbying in
the state legislatures in order to
represent student needs began as a
result of his founding ideas.

The main issue at hand for SASU
recently has been the fight against
the proposed tuition hike, SASU
maintains that Governor Carey's
committment to public education is
questionable, (The January issue of
SASU's newspaper Grassroots,
banner headline read, “Carey to
SUNY: Drop Dead.")

SASU reports that New York
gives more money to private
Universities than all other 49 states
combined, Last year the state
granted 1.5 million to the ptivate
Syracuse University for a new
domed stadium, SASU argues that
SUNY needs 9.1 million in order for

the tuition to remain the same and
this money is merely “a drop in the
bucket” compared to the funds
doled out to the private schoolseach
year.
Retention Problem

Chancellor Wharton recently
proposed to raise tuition by $150 for
only lower division undergraduates.
The chancellor stated that this
increase would counteract upper
division retention, (a growing SUNY
problem). However, SASU argues
that this increase in tuition for
freshman and sophomores would
create an even larger retention
problem as fewer students would be
entering the SUNY system. “And if
fewer students enroll,” said SASU

China: U.S. Criticism

‘Communication Director Libby
Post, “then Carey will decrease
SUNY money even further.”
SASUsays the motivation behind
the tuition hike is a result of the
pressure of 75 syndicated banks on
SUNY to convert $261 million in
short term notes into permanent 30
year bonds. This conversion was
intended to be completed by 1982,
but pressure is on to have it done by
1980, If this deadline is adhered to

Kinks May Still Have A WayTo Go

ast Thursday night, one of the

longest existing rock bands

played at the Palace Theater,

in a concert sponsored by

UCB and WCDB, The Kinks,
who were formed in 1961, will someday
be considered one of the legendary acts of
this musical era. Despite an impressive
string of commercial hits, their success,
however, has for the most part been
supported by a fervently enthusiastic, but
moderately-sized group of fanatics.
Witness, as example, the not quite
capacity crowd on Thursday. The Kinks,
if they noticed, were not fazed.

Brian Kurtzer

particularly, annoying, hard rock band
named TKO, During their assault to the
senses 1 could make out some lyrics 10
their second song. As they sang the
words, “Stay Away”, 1 wished that they
had followed their own adyice.

After a short break, the Kinks took the
stage. Sort of. Opening with a musical
version of “You Really Got Me,” the most
noticeable Kink was nowhere in sight.

After all, Raymond Douglas Davies is
the show. He's the man up front. The
singer, the songwriter (he's probably
written 90 percent of the songs on their
almost countless albums), the entertainer,
cynic, clown, comedian, Ray Davies is
one of the premier performers in his
business, and he likes to highlight that
fact during the act

So, several minutes into the opening
song, Ray came running out, picked up
his guitar, and sang several stanzas.
Immediately following, they broke into

the rousing title song of their album of
three years ago, “Sleepwalker.” With
Mick Avory providing a steady rockbeat,
this number highlighted the band’s recent
trend towards reemphasizing the solid
lead guitar playing of Ray's brother,
Dave Davies. On such upbeat rockers,
Dave is the musical backbone of the
Broup, and his solo towards the end of
“Sleepwalker” was an excellent reminder
of this fact.

But that is the extent of Dave's
prominence, “When he later stepped

forward to sing his composition, "Trust
Your Heart,” from Misfits, in a strained
voice, one could conclude that it was done
only to allow Ray to step offstage and
make another shirt change, When Ray is
onstage, he stands center stage
It was Ray's energetic versatility that
Was most impressive throughout the
ert, Imploring the crowd to sing.
‘along as he played the familiar chords to
, on acoustic guitar, the response
was joyously loud. “C-O-L-A, Cola.”
Constantly, he theatrically presented his

Resembling a skid-row bum, he stumbled

AS was to be expected, Davies was
quite visual while performing songs that

Were satirical or poked fup at social
classes, Two new songs “Low Budget,”
and “I Wish I Could Fly Like Superman,”
were perfect examples. In the former,
Davies, dressed appropriately, sang of
forgoing all the previously adorned

benefits of upper class living.

You’ve been a
misfit all your
life

Why don’t you
join the crowd
And come
inside

R. Davies
Misfits

"The hair is mine, my teeth are my own,
But everything else is on permanent
loan.”

The rockers were also done well, A full
version of *You Really Got Me," and “All
Day and All of the Night,” were well
played and extremely well received, It

eems that Davies is nowcontent to let the
band play their best songs. The concept
album is behind them and this was
emphasized by the performance of only
‘one song from Preservation from among
that category of Kinks’ albums.

The very best moments of the show
came when the band performed the
ballads in which Ray sang his more
emotional, meaningful compositions, He
introduced the title song from Misfits, as
“written by a misfit, about a misfit.” The
song is almost a proclamation that his
defiance to “join the crowd” has not been
in vain, Again playing the acoustic guitar,
in contrast to Dave's electric, Ray seemed
honestly moved while performing it,

“Celluloid Heroes,” from Everyone's
In Show Biz was the most impressively
arranged and performed song of the
concert, As on several other songs, the
band was complimented by the addition
of a tenor sax and trombone, The stark
realities of the motion picture medium
Were stirringly portrayed as Ray sang —“/
wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood
movie show... Celluloid Heroes never
really die,

The one concession Davies seems to
have made to time is an easing up of his
cynical, bitter feelings towards the music
business, The Kinks current show reflects
this. They know how far they haye come.

Ray introduced “A Rock and Roll
Fantasy" for all the good bands that are

“not around anymore, When he came to

the line, “You might be through, but I've
just begun," the audience responded with
cheers, Ray Davies has decided that his
music is important, and he might as well
strive to perfect it — and the show.
After playing an encore, the Kinks left
the stage hastily, Except for Ray Davies.
He moved to the front, shaking hands in
the audience, Basically, it is his show, as
long as they sing from“A Rock and Roll
Fantasy” — But for all we know, we
might still have a way to go.

SPEEDY SPERM

A Georgia professor of medicine
says that do-it-yourself artificial
insemination may be just around the
corner

Doctor Armand Karow of the
Medical College of Georgia says that
the techniques for collecting,
Ireesing und storing sperm have
become so effective and simple that
it is now technically possible for a
Woman to artificially inseminate
hersell in the privacy of her own
home

The doctor adds that “as easy as
artificial insemination is to perform,
‘wecan even imagine a normal couple
selecting semen from a panel of
lumous people and doing home
insemination,”

Kurow says there is still at least
one litile-uinderstood side effect

studies have found that more boys
than girls are produced,

Sure enough, most of the Women:
who tried both brands rated the
Frontiersman as being hotter,
stronger, harsher and less enjoyable
in taste than the Aprils, Men, on the
other hand, generally indicated a

The nationwide study, conducted
by the Bureau of Social Science

questioned more than 1000
Americans across the US,

Fifty-three percent of those
questioned agreed that “Protecting
the enviornment is soimportant that
requirements and standards cannot
be too high, and continuing im-
provement must be made regardless
of cost,”

At the other end of the spectrum,
‘only 10 percent felt that; “Pollution

The Issueless Age
ea

by Robert Hale

‘The coming of spring is marked every year

by the gearing up of political activism on

campus, Students are reminded of the glories

of their forbearers of the fate sixties and a

iwinge of self-pity is felt in the heart of every

radical as he admonishes himself for being
born ten years too late, Leaders call for
student union, student protest, student power,

They point tothe historical role of students as

the guardians of society — the well-educated

elite glorifying their naivete and emerging
from their labo. stories ofideas with programs
for vast social change.

Students arethe uncorruptible intellectuals;
they are outside “the system", They are
energetic, They are impressionable, They
should be the forefront of American
radicalism.

Yet, this spring, just like every spring for the
last seven or eight years, the students will not
fact, Naturally, some will protest, be it about
divestment from South Africa, a tuition
increase, or whatnot, But this will not reflect
the general mood of the student body. The
reaction to apathy will be familiar — people
‘vill cry that students are not the same as they

were in the sixties, The return to campuses of
the days of toga parties and food fights is seen
as indicative of a decline in the state of
American intellectualism.

‘This year’s push for activism is more
iniensive than usual, The tuition increase is
seen s an issue to unite the students while
accountability of the Educational Testing
Seivice (ETS) and divestment from South
Africa remain as vital and important to many
political groups on campus. This is also a
benchmark year in student involvement as the
aim is to provide an image of students entering
the eighties as sensitive, aware, interested, and
above all, active in the issues of the world
around them. To do this, issues of a student
oriented nature are to be publicized and thus
draw students into the “habit” of activism.

The efforts of the political groups on this
‘campus to motivate the student body into
acting on its own behalf should be
commended, But the failUre of these attempts
is inevitable, The blame lies not with the
students but with the times. In the sixties
students faces a war which showed that

America was not the lily white do-gooder that
they had learned about. They saw themselves.
aand their peers being called to fight and die for

4 currupt dictatorship against the wishes of

that country's citizens. It was an absurd

situation as well as a personal dangerto many,

which overcame the obstacles of apathy and
turnover to motivate students to action,
Today's issues are on a much smaller scale,
‘They are basically pocketbook issues,
Protesting them is difficult for many reasons.
First, there are rarely conflicting values
involved, Inflation is not seen as a threat to
democracy, Mom, or apple pie. Second, fault
is not easy to affix on anyone in particular.
Should we protest a tuition increase to Goy,
Carey, to the State Legislature, to Chancellor
Wharton, of to the SUNY Board of Trustees?
Finally, the whole student body is not
affected, Ifthe hike is only for Lower Division
students, it will affect only this year’s
freshmen, Even ifit is an across the board rise
in tuition, only those of middle income
families for whom TAP and other financial
aid fail to make up the difference will fee! the
increase, Those of high income parents will
not be overly concerned and the members of
low income families will have the increase
ubsorbed by their financial aid. Thus, even
With the issue that is of greater concern to the
student body than any in recent years, those
who will actually actively protest are drawn
from a limited section of the students as a
whole, Evenif the tuition protest is successful,
the attempt to transfer this victory to other
movements will fail because it will draw only
from the limited group that was previously
mobilized.

‘The attempt to carry students into the
cighties as a politically involved and aware
group is doomed, This is not because there is
anything wrong with the students, but because
the issues are simply not those that lead to
linified concern and protest. Can anyone
forsee thousands of demonstrators converging
on the 1980 Democratic National Convention
to demand that ETS release their LSAT
answers? But it is unfortunate that in a time
when ourrights are slowly being chipped away
by everyone from landlords to insurance
companies, it is difficult to respond since each
attack is on a small group, not students as a
whole, We are naive, if not simply foolish, to
‘approach injustices with what are inevitably
half-hearted attempts at mass action, What
this situation calls for is a development of
political finesse rather than force, finding
strength in our intelligence rather than our
numbers. We must not become exasperated
with students for not filling their role asa mass
of bodies, but instead adjust our strategies to
the nature of the problems and issues we face

Worker Mess at UAS

To the Editor:

‘There are many UAS employees who work
in the Food Department that must be on the
job at 6:30 a.m. or earlier, In one particular
‘building, out of nine employees, five have
permits of some kind which entitles them to
park tearest the building, two ride with a
person who has a permit, and one’s husband
drives her to the door each morning. That
eaves one person who has to walk from the
parking lot alone? Sound scary? You better
‘believe it is!

Many mornings, on approaching the lot,
lights go off while itis stil dark out, I've read
that the security officers feel a need to carry
guns at this time of day. What type of
protection do we employees have, since some
is obviously needed, in these early morning
hours?

Over the years this parking permit business
has gotten to be a farce. All employees who
must be at work carly deserve the priviledge of
security, This means parking permits for all
concerned whether infirmed or not,

‘Thanks for being considerate of your early-
morning walkers,

A Disgruntled Worker

Calling All Students

To the Editor:

We would like to take this opportunity to
update students about the current situation in
the fight against the tuition increase. This
week, there is a strong possibility that the
SUNY Board of Trustees, who are responsible

should be working with us to try to get the
additional money from the Legislature. We

have been focusing on the Legislature to

appropriate anextra $9.1 millionto the SUNY

budget to allow the State University to operate
‘without cuts or a tuition hike, The Legislature
will vote on the budget on April I,

The Trustees, however, on the
recommendation of the Chancellor, are
seriously considering raising tuition at their
Wednesday meeting, despite the fact that we
will not know if SUNY will get the additional
money until April 1.

Our position is the following:

1, Such an action by the Trustees would be
totally premature, Until April 1, there is no
way of knowing whether or not we will get the
additional $9.1 million.

2. By even considering a tuition increase at this
time, the Trustees will effectively eliminate
any bargaining position they would have with
the Legislature, How can they argue for
additional funds if the Legislature is aware
that SUNY has indicated its willingness to
raise funds through tuition?

3, If the Trustees raise tuition on Wednesday,
it will make it much more difficult to convince
the Legislature. The attitude of the Legislators
would logically be, “you have already solved
your problem of insufficient funds by raising

tuition — so why should we give you the
money’
Therefore, an action is planned) for

Wednesday to stop the Trustees from raising
tuition on Wednesday. We plan to bring at
feast 100 people to fill the meeting and
presstire the Trustees not to raise tuition.
Through demonstration, chanting, and
picketing we think we can effectively prevent
it, Remember, the Trustees are a political
body, and as such want to avoid the stigma of
having the responsibility for hurting public
higher education.

There will be two special buses leaving
uptown to take students downtown to SUNY
Plaza, where the meeting will take place, on

Wednesday at 8:45 in the morning. We know it
is early, but the Trustees are meeting at 10:00
and we have to get there early to make sure we
get in. The bus will make stops on Western
Avenue at Partridge, Draper, Lark, and the
Wellington. Those leaving from uptown
bhould meet in the Off Campus lounge
between 8:30 and 8:45, You may sign up
tonight at dinner lines,

There will also be a pre-demonstration
meeting tonight at 7:00at the Fireside Lounge.

This is the most important action in the
juition campaign thus far, Ifthe Trustees raise
tuition on Wednesday, fighting the tuition
increase in the future will be that much harder,

Tower Follies —
A Rebuttal

To the Editor:

[feel that I must respond to Steven Olson's
Jeter describing the unfair and unusual
treatment given to the residents of Suite 1703,
Livingston Toter, I think it is important to
bring up Some points to clarify the situation,

Steven implies in his letter that sending the
suite to Judicial Board is the same as finding
them guilty. The fact that someones referred
(9 Judicial Board does not automatically
assume guilt. The reason for bringing it to
Judicial) Board is so that a group of peers can
mike that decision, This insures due process
as required by law. As the Director of
Livingston Tower, I must address this matter
Iecause the serious issue of fire safety is
imolved. Sendingit to Judicial Board isin my
the fairest Way to pursue the incident
That Steven feels this Board is out persecute
@ =mbers of the 17th floor is unfortunate. If
members of the board were not Tower
fesdents, I suppose someone else would shout

“unfair” as well, because no one would be a
“true peer”. It is very easy to find fault with
any system when one feels persecuted,

As far as holding the suite responsible for
incidents that occur there, let me assure you
that this point had been made, In the
beginning of the year, a soccer ball was thrown
out of suite 1703, When questioned, the
Tesponse was that the suite door was always
{eft unlocked and that people were constantly
inand out. Those present claimed they did not
know who had thrown the ball out, At that
time, a Director on the Quad made it very
clear that leaving the door unlocked could
lead to a situation where the suite would be
held responsible for someone else's actions in
their suite, Why then is it unfair to follow
through with What was explained would
happen?

1 would also like to point out that Stevenis
clouding the most important issue: the matter
of who is being unfair in this situation. What
about the mysterious person(s) who caused
the entire incident? How has he been
forgotten? It is apparent to me that this
person(s) who is willing to let the members of
suite 1703 take responsibility for his act is the
true villian, not to mention those who know
and are remaining silent to protect this
person(s). It seems that Steven is trying to
make the system, which only deals with an
incident after it occurs, the scapegoat for the
Fea) culprit(s),

for the formation of all policies for the State
University will raise tuition at their meeting on
Wednesday.

Some explanation is in order here; the
proposed tuition increase comes because of
the governor's failure to allow adequate funds
for operation of SUNY in his 1979-80
Executive Budget. The Governor's budget, if
passed by the Legislature would make it
impossible for SUNY to operate effectively
without making large cuts in services provided
to students,

Thus, if the budget is approved as is, the
Trustees would have a choice of cither making
program cuts or raising tuition. Only $9.1 |

avoid this, Under these circumstances, SUNY |

Howe from UAS is so important that
Council's whole agenda for Wednesday night
te dropped in favor of deciding the Dippikill
ise, Why the rush? The time table of budget
committee might be disrupted.

It seems that if the proposal is passed by
| Council, certain deductions must be made
from next year’s Student Activities budget
tefore budget committee is turned loose
allocating anticipated revenue. Budget
| committee doesn't want to be held up, $0
| Ruffo has decided that the show must go on
| tomorrow! But wait — what about students?
Shouldn't they know what is about to be
decided? Why doesn’s SA's new $1,000
propagands sheet The Student Voice discuss
the proposal and solicit student input?

The Dippikill proposal deserves more
Altention than a quickie vote by a largely new
and still unaware Council, It is 4 major

expenditure drawing from the general fund

and harnessing future Council action because
of the drain on reserves. On the pro side, it
Would provide much needed conference

facilities and additional cabi
More people should know about the question
so that a fair and well evaluated judgment will
te reached,

Even if Ruffo feels that informal student
input isn't necessary and insists on deciding
the question Wednesday night, he is bound by
the formal structure of Student Association
He should at least delay Council's vote until
900 Alumni Quad residents can be fully
tepresented, Alumni Quad is now represented
on Council by only one representative while
all other quads have four. This is because the

lection commission, charged by President
idterm

Feldman, ran such shabby
feplacement elections that the results on
Alumni were invalidated. :

You may wonder, how dare I say shabby
This is how. One candidate's name was on the
ballot on the first night, disappeared the

the third, That's

second and then reappe

Council and Thou

only the first impropriety. Secondly, one of

the downtown dinner lines never had
ballotting until the third night of elections
even though it was brought to Feldman’s
atention and Election Commissioner Jayne
Bieber after the first night.

Uptown elections weren't without their
flaws either. There were numerous charges of
people being allowed to vole without tax cards
‘and pollsters running out of ballots on the first
night of ballotting. No one protested those
elections. It appears that was a wise decision.
all uptown Quads will be fully

At least
represented on Wednesday night when one of
the most important issues of the year will be
decided

It is hard to understand why our student

policy makers eel they must subject students
to an inflexible bureaucratic structure when
they have the ability to adjust to student needs
In this case their ability lies in their power to

the vote.

We must all call on Student Association to
slow down on this proposal until we know
What it is and until each student has an
opportunity to his or her opinion, Good
decisions cannot be made without an attempt
to collect all the information that might affect
the outcome

Tis true that Council has been aware of the
proposal for over a month but Council has
had eight resignations since last semester and
now has what should be eight new votes. In
addition, few students on campus realize the
nature of the decision to be made, With
$100,000 and the future of Dippikill at stake
there should be more student inyolyement
outside SA.

If it is the desire of SA’s leadership to push
Cenrat Council for such far reaching
decisions without student knowledge and
‘without all students having & fair and
able opportunity to be represented,
i the students of Albany see the
of our elected officials

then Je

| Finishing Up Winter

Before long, if all goes as planned, spring just might arrive. The time
will come to whip out the frisbees, head over to the podium with agood
supply of suntan oil, and bask in the sun for days at a time, Classes?
They'll still be around, but some of us might not be. Truly, springtime at
SUNYA is a time to rejoice, and rejoice we will, But before that, we must
finish up winter,

Winter is a strange season, and it does strange things (especially ata
stark white school), Besides burying your car in the far lot, and turning
your nose a bright red, winter has an effect on your mind, The isolation
and coldness is bound to get you downalittle, and it could dampen your
outlook (no pun intended). Here presented to you, and not to the
Students at the University of Miami, are some tips on finishing up the
freeze, and preparing for the podium,

*Stay inside. First of all, indoors isn’t white, and there are oodles of
activities to be done in the comforts of you very own abode, Oil your
mitt. Dust your frisbee. See if the string bikini you bought last year still
fits. And above all, find a warm body to snuggle up with and “study”.

Go to classes, Let's face it, that could be impossible when spring
comes, so you might as well use the winter months to get ahead. Reading
your text books might be a good idea too. And study (really).

Be especially friendly, We're all in the same boat up here, and

| whatever you're going through, you're bound to find a friend going

through it as well. Together, you might just conquer it.

Remember the parents. If you're from above the MasonDixonline,
then they're going through winter too. (And you don't have to shovel the
driveway this year), Why not shock the hell out of them and drop thema
dine? They'll feel pretty good, I'll bet, and they may just deposit a winter
bonus in the depleted checking account. It can’t hurt.

There you have it. The season is winter, the prospect is spring, and
vacation is 38 days away. (912 hours). Start your countdown now, but
don't remain frozen as long as the parking lots will. Be active, and you'll
stay warm. Finishing up winter may seem bleak, but if you follow these
tips, the time may move a little faster. Winter might even be fun.

Eat your heart out, University of Miami. °

Go Danes!

While we freeze in Albany, the Great Danes basketball team will by
flying to Danville, Kentucky forthe NCAA playoffs this Thursday. The
game is Friday night, and the ASP wishes the team the best of luck
(skill), and hopes that they come back winners!

Bob Proulx’s Layoff Is Finished

by David Osborn

Bob Proulx hadn't engaged in
high jump competition for over three
years and he was a tad edgy one
month ago at Williams College. He
lowly pecled off his blue and white
bany State warmup suit and took
jittery position before approaching
he bar, Moments later he lay in the
sushiony pit and the bar, set at 6-2,
adn't moved at all,

PORTS FEATURE

“The layoff hurt somewhat
cause I feel stronger than in high
hol but I'd be much stronger if I'd
tinued jumping,” Proulx,a Dane
mnior said this week. “I was happy I
faced at that first meet and it felt
od. I quickly became assimilated
pto the routine again and everything.
ew back into my memories of
rack."
After a fine track career at
Ducensbury High in Glens Falls,
Proulx enrolled at Potsdam State,
fhere the track program was
inceled the year before he arrived.
MO Broulx wasn't aware of that until he
lached the campus, He stayed on at
sdam three years for academic
isons and came here this fall for
PYacademics and the chance to get
Pack into track
"I was going to college more for
fhe education and track was
fecondary all along,” Proulx
Explained, “Originally 1 thought
they had team at Potsdam since a
friend of mine had just graduated

ind competed thereforfouryears. But“

the student government up there
disbanded track and cross country
because they. said they weren't
spectator sports.”

the fall of his junior year mainly for
academic reasons. “I'm an
anthropology major and a Prof, of
mine told me Albany had a great
Anthropology Department and 1
should giye it try,” Proulx said, “I
assumed that one of the four
University Centers would certainly
have a track team and that was an
added bonus.”

He came here last spring and
spoke with Dane track coach Bob
Munsey. Although he had only
jumped four times in the preceeding
three years, Proulx looked forward
to competition once more, “I
thought Munsey was alittle crazy, a
very nice man and he obviously
knew his track very well,” Proulx
remembered.

Proulx is tall, 6 3” on the button,
and slim with medium-length black
hair, Munsey wanted him to run
cross country but they never got
together on the matter and he sat the
campaign out, He started to train in
the Auxilliary Gym in November
with a jumping bar,

“It's funny to be a first year man
and also be a senior which
ur last too,” Proulx —
pronounced Pru — said. “I was the
alien and a real newcomer so | just
held back to see how they'd accept
me, like anybody does when they
experience something new, 1 could
have handled it if they hadn't
accepted me; but luckily they did,”

One day in practice, Munsey was
yelling, “Pru, Pru, Pru,” at the Dane
and suddenly stuck with the name
“Prunes” as a tag for the senior:
ing my background as an
anthropology major, 1 may haye a
different perspective on a sports
team,” he suid, “I don't make it a
habit, but sometimes 1 look at the
squad In asort of social group sense.

“Academics is stil, and always
will, be number one with me, I think
coming to Albany was the smartest
thing I ever did, for academics and
sports. Sports is just fun, it's a
distraction and a release from your
academic pressures, Competition
and daily workouts are also good for
your mental discipline in addition to
keeping you physically in shape.”

Proulx, along with Dan Ehring,
gives the Danes the finest pair of
high jumpers they've ever had,
according to Albany assistant coach
Mark Dalton, Inthe opening meet of
the season, they both cleared 6' 2”,
Proulx also runs the hurdles and
made the final at Williams,
Outdoors, Munsey hopes to enter
him in the 400 intermediate hurdles,

At RPIiast month, Proulx pulled a
tear-end muscle and was
considerably hampered all
afternoon, He Was also burdened by
a multiplicity of events, “That's one
thing that made it all familiar; inthe
middle of the high jump your hurdle
heat is called and you have to quickly
change your sneakers, then your
name is called for high jump and you
haye to change back,” he

Proulx jumped 6’ 0” and took
third behind Ehring and an Engineer
who jumped 6'2" to win, In order to
prepare him for the long hurdle race
outdoors, Munsey inserted the
senior into the 440 and Proulx said
he was thinking about that all
afternoon

The following week at Plattsburgh
Proulx added yet another event to
his agenda. Munsey inserted his
standout in the long jump and in his
first attempt ever in the event he

Departing Dane Seniors Have Fond Memories —

by Rich Seligson

Other than “a little tingle” running
through Carmelo Verdejo's body,
the four graduating seniors on the
Great Dane basketball squad — Bill
Bellamy, Barry Cavanaugh, Buddy
Wieklinski and Verdejo — felt no
strong emotions as they trotted onto
the University Gym floor for pre-
game warmups Saturday night.

Although hosting the Oswego
State Lakers could possibly have
been the final home outing of their
college career, the players were more
concerned about winning and
enhancing their post-season chances
than the drama of it all.

Once victory was theirs, however,
they could continue thinking about
an NCAA bid — one which they
‘were awarded the following after-
noon — but also reflect on the
Albany home crowd and playing at
University Gym for perhaps the last
time:

Bellamy: “We had a good record
at home, We didn’t lose this yearand
last season we lost anly twice at
home.”

Cavanaugh: “The last couple of
days I thought it was going to be sad,
Bus then I thought of all the good
things that have happened. Instead

of being sad, I'll be happy. As for the
crowd, compared to other schools
we play, this is probably the best
home crowd. When you go to other
places, you can haye between 200
and 300. Here you're assured of
1500-2000 on an average night.”

Verdejo: “The crowd helped me
start my career bere. They were the
big influence in me makingit or not,
Til always love the Albany crowd
even when I come back here as a

crowd scem like they're in the game
themselves, 1 guess that's the way I
am when I'm on the bench, The peo-
ple here are really into it.”

Bellamy, whose quickness and
ballhandling are his trademarks, is
not unfamiliar with the large and
vocal crowd he’s grown accustomed
to at University Gym. “We used to
have big crowds there too," he sald
concerning his first two years at Ul-
ster Community College.

‘As the bread and butter “of
Albany's starting five, Cavanaugh
and Verdejo always seem to shine at
home, Cavanaugh cited his two 36-
point ballgames against Hamiltonat Dane uniform,

Saturday's halftime award For Verdejo, basketball has been

LITE BEER FROM MILLER
EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED
IN A BEER. AND LESS.

by David Osborn

Last fall during the cross-country
season Albany State indoor track
coach Bob Munsey chatted with
Army coach John Randolph at a
meet in Syracuse and received an
invitation to bringthe Danes to West
Point in February, Not being the
type to turn down such an offer,
Munsey quickly accepted.

Albany kept up their end of the
bargain Saturday afternnon by
traveling to the U.S, Military
‘Academy to take part in an informal
competition with the Army Jayvee
squad and the West Point Prep
School, Although results were not
tabulated and team scores went
unrecorded, Army would have taken
the meet by a considerable margin,

But that wasn’t the point, For the
Danes it was the opportunity to “see
how the other half lives," according
to assistant coach Mark Dalton, The
Cadet facility is among the finest in
the state and Albany was exposed to
a high level of competition. Some
Albany competitors may have been a
bit intimidated but the awesome
facility was still a treat,

The track measured 200 meters
and was coated with a brand new

facility and probably the finest
indoor track I've ever seen,” said
Dane Scott James. “It was like
huge barn that had been completely
done over and it had movable stands
and separate areas for the field and
throwing events.”

Aside from being overly
impressed with the environment,
James was also one of only two
Danes to win individual events in

‘addition to Albany's 2-mile triumph,
The freshmen used a fine kick to
‘overtake the field on the final lap and
win the 1,000 meter run with a time
of 2:36F hat translates into roughlya
2:21, 1,000 yard effort,

“I still don't have enough
confidence in myself to go out in
front and take the early lead.” James
explained. “They're always yellingat
‘me from the sidelines to go faster but
1 just ignore them. 1 have to cut a
second off my time to qualify for the
state's, There's something
psychologically dificult about the
1,000; maybe it's just the number, but
I think of it as really long andit's just
over a half-mit,

Proulz has been one of the squad's

As Expected, Danes Beat Oswego

by Paul Schwartz
Everything went on as expected

Saturday aight in| University Gia

First the alumni came out for!

‘nual contest, followed by an awards

ceremony. Then the Albany State
basketball squad took the court to
fnce Oswego, a team that had

managed only two victories in 19

prior games, There were no real sur-
prises; some alumni were out of
shape, the ceremony was routine,
and the Danes defeated Oswego, 71-
62,

Improved Record

Albany improved their season

record to 18-6 with the victory, and
in the process of remaining in the
battle for the SUNYAC cham-
pionship and the NCAA playoffs,
the Danes played somewhat
mediocre, but could afford to
against the hapless Oswego great
Lakers. Albany never trailed in the
ballgame and it was their won mis-
takes that kept the final score respec-
table,

“We played alittle flat," said Dane
coach Dick Sauers, “It's difficult to
play against a team like Oswego, but
‘We must realize that we still have to
0 out there and play.”

Similiar to the last two games,

Gymnasts Win Over Bridgewater

With Mary Ann Caperna leading
the way, the Albany State women's
gymnastics team gained their third
win of the season by coming home
from Bridgewater with a 93,3-90.2
victory,

Caperna, a junior, competing for
the Danes for the last year since she
will go overseas to complete her
education next fall, highlighted the

meet with her yaulting effort, She
attempted a yamashita, a class D
Jump which classifies as the hardest
move in the discipline, and recorded
‘an outstanding score of 7,05,

The balance beam was the most
successful event for Albany and the
many high scores compiled may
haye iced the win for the Danes
Caperna turned in another fine per-
formance and took a7.1 on the beam
While Coreen Palma had a 7,0 and

‘Atop the uneven bars, Caperna
recorded a 6.15, But teamate Cindy
Corbitne led the Dane charge there
With a 6.3 score and Barb Shaw pick-

Albany had difficulty penetrating a
zone defense and had trouble getting
the ball inside to their leading

beiran- scorers, Carmelo Verdejo and Barry

Cavanaugh, Instead, the Danes let
their fat ride on a perimeter outside
shooting attack, and because of
some accurate marksmanship,
Albany was simply able to shoot
over the Laker defense.

Accepting the role of leading
scorer for the Danes for the first time
this season was Buddy Wleklinski.
Positioned as point guard in the
Albany offense, Wleklinski was able
to launch 10 of his patented long-
range bombs, and seven landed in
their desired target, Wleklinski hit on
4 15-foot push shot to start the game,
and then proceeded to take his hot
selection even further away from the
basket. Stating that his shooting
range is "25 feet and in,” Wieklinski
was left unguarded by the Oswgo
defenders, and by the time the
Lakers were convinced that
Wieklinski could make the shots he
was taking, the Dane guard had
tallied a 3 igh 15 points.

“I just got hot for a change,” said
Wieklinski, “I've been hesitating
when I shoot, but after I hit four or
five shots, I stopped thinking about

ed up # 5.7, Palma’s 6,7 on the floor
exercise was the only notable Albany
result in that event

my shot and just putit up naturally.”

In the first half, the Dane scoring
atiack was led by a pair of
sophomore sharpshooters, Rob
Clune and Ray Cesare. Showing
variety of offensive skills, Clune
scored on jumpshots, drives, and
offensive rebounds while chalking
up II points before halftime, Cesare
relied on jumpers from the baseline,
and pumped in nine first half points.

Team Effort

Contrasting the Dane's team el-
fort, the Lakers were primarily a one
man ‘show, Bill Theiben, Oswego's
scoring machine, averages 22.6
points a game this season, and is not
bashful when it comes to shooting.
Thieben is not surrounded by any
other real offensive threats, and with
an attack that is based around him,
Theiben found time to attempt 23
shots, make 10, and finished with 23
poirtts,

Leading 34-22 at halftime, the
Danes increased that margin to 16
points late in the game, and with the
contest no longer in doubt, Sauers
went to his bench, replacing
Cavanaugh and Verdejo together to
a rousing ovation from the large
crowd, “I really wanted to take them
Out together,” Sauers said.

Albany Reaction Showed Surprise And Relief

by Paul Schwartz

Tt was getting late, and the phone
still had not rung. Everyone
associated with the Albany State
basketball team was waiting for the
same thing — news telling if the
Danes were selected to play in the
NCAA Div, III playoffs. The later it

became, the worse Albany's chances

appeared. In this case, no news was
definitely bad news.

The initial call came at about 3:00
on Sunday. Union College Sports
Information Director Dick Sakala
called Bob Ford, Albany's Athletic
Director, and Sakala offered the
Danes an opportunity to compete in
the ECAC Upstate Tournament, a
tourney that is non-advancing and
lacks the prestige of an NCAA
regional, After missing out on a
playoff bid last year, Albany was
selected and won the Upstate Tour-
nament,

This was not the news Ford was
expecting. He asked Sakala if the
ECAC invitation meant that Albany
was not picked for the NCAA‘s,
Sakala said that he had spoken to an
NCAA official, and that Pratt In-
stitute had been selected as the
fourth and last team for the NCAA
Eastern Regional in Stony Brook,

“1 told him (Sakala) that I would
haye to talk to our basketball coach,
Dick Sauers, before any decisions
were made,” said Ford, “At that
point, 1 thought we still could
possibly get a bid from out of our
conference.”

At 4:30, an Albany phone rang
again, this time at the Sauer’s home,
The caller was Ralph Mcsillen in
Kansas City, Mesillen is in charge of

tournaments for the NCAA, and he
had something important to tell
Sauers.

“He called me on Friday to get my
home phone number, in he
needed it,” said Sauers, “On Sunday,
he called to notify me that Albany
had been selected for the Southern
Regional in Danville, Kentucky. 1
was surprised — I never thought of
that regional.”

Sauers was not told specifically
how his team ended up in the
Southern Regional, “Mcsillen said
that there was a long discussion
too long to talk about,” said Sauers

“He told me that the commitice was
in conference for hours, and that
they had a strong feeling that Albany
should be put in a regional.”

After finding out about Albany,
Sauers was informed that Pratt was
the team selected to the Eastern
Regional, “I don't think they deserv-
ed any bid,” Sauers said, “If their
reasoning Was that Pratt is better
than us, and that was why they pick-
ed them to go to Stony Brook, 1
think they were wrong.”

One problem the Danes will en-
counter is in preparation for the
tournament. Sauers usually has ex:

tensive scouting reports and specific
game plans for each opponent, but
as of Monday, he knew practically
nothing about Albany's first round
opponent, Savannah State College
of Georgia. Besides their known 19-8
record, there is a limited amount of
information about the Savannah
squad.

“We obviously can't scout them,
but they can’t scout us either,” said

auers. “I'm going to try to get as
much second hand information as 1
can — maybe a game film, Bill
Austin (Albany's assistant coach)
will try to gather as much informa.

tion about Savannah as fre can. All
we know now is that they are a good
running team.”

While the Danes arein Kentucky,
Stony Brook, St, Lawrence,
Potsdam, and Pratt will be fighting
to become the Eastern Regional
champion, In past years, the eastern
representatives hiaye fared quite well
in national competition, and with
the Stony Brook team ranked in the
top five in the nation for Division I1f
schools, the regional figures to be
one of the strongest throughout the
country.

“I feel if we were in the Eastern
Regional, we could have won it,”
said Sauers. “But I'm just happy to

be in the NCAA's, We can go to
Stony Brook to play any time,”

With the added excitement, travel
arrangements, and facing a virtually
‘unknown opponent, the importance
of performing well:on the court is
still essential for the Danes.
“Sometimes a trip like this could be
more relaxing for the team,” said
Sauers. “Playing so far away, there
could be less pressure.”

Playing in the Southern Regional,
the Danes might suffer fromaniden-
tity crisis. There is a team in Georgia
named Albany State, and any out-
sider lookingin would automatically
assume that the Albany State listed
in the Southern Regional is the
Albany State from Georgia.

But it isn’t, It is the Albany
from New York, and they will be
playing a long way from home, ina
regional they never thought they
would be in, But it is the NCAA
playoffs, something the Danes have
been playing for, even if itis in Ken-
tucky.

When Buddy Wleklinski
answered the phone a little after 4:30
on Sunday, he was ready to hear
good news, Also in the room was his
teammate on the Albany State
basketball squad, Barry Cavanaugh,
Both are seniors, and in their final
year as Great Danes, they both
fervently wanted to compete in the
NCAA playoffs, and after their vic-
tory over Oswego the night before,
both were somewhat confident that
their team would be playing in tne
Eastern Regional in Stony Brook
this weekend,

Neither would believe what they
were about to hear,

“It was Doc (Savers) on the
phone,” said Wleklinski, “He told
me that we were not going to the
Eastern Regional. I said ‘ah sh—
=. The he said that we were going to
the Southern Regional. He started
telling me when we were leaving, and
other things, but I had no reaction —
couldn't believe it. I expected the

tern Regional.”

“When I heard Buddy cursing 1
thought ‘oh no, not the ECACs
again,” said Cayanaugh, “Then he
handed me the phone, and Doc told
me. 1 was shocked. I thought maybe
We would get into the New England
Regional, but never the Southern
Regio

Although both players were pleas-
ed {0 be selected for the playoffs,
they each admit that Stony Brook
was their first choice,

I'd like to find out how the
Southern. teams play," said
Wieklinski, “and it might even be an
easier regional than the Eastern
Regional. But I know that a lot of
plans were being made — buses were
going to be chartered to go from
Albany to Stony Brook, We would
have had a lot of fans in Stony
Brook.”

“I think I would rather bein Stony,
Brook,” added Cavanaugh. “I'm dis-
appointed that we didn't get a bid to
go there. I thought we were good

‘Teammates Share The Wait, Mixed Feelings |

enough to go there and win the
regional, But it doesn’t really matter,
just as long as we got a bid
‘somewhere, I'm glad there was a spot
for us.”

Pratt was the team that beat out
Albany for a bid to the Eastern
Regional, and according to
Cavanaugh, “they deserve it, I guess.
They did beat Stony Brook by 12
points.”

“We Were trying to figure out why
Pratt got the bid instead of us," said
Wicklinski, “and maybe it was
because Pratt was from the
Metropolitan area, and since they
fare so much closer to Stony Brook,
they could bring a bigger crowd than.
we could, and that’s why they picked
them. That could be the reason they
picked Manhattanville instead of us
Jast year.”

Whether Stony Brook or Ken-
tucky, Cavanaugh feels the situation
is still the same, “It's a do or die
situation, No matter where we are,
We still know what we have to do."

Off To Kentucky

by David Osborn

After being denied a bid to the
Eastern Regional of the NCAA
Division II playoffs early Sunday
afternoon, a potential uproar from
the Albany State basketball team
was coated over when they were
notified later inthe day that they had
been picked to play in the Southern
Regional bracket.

For the Danes, a third crack at the
national championship in the five-
year old event will begin Friday
night when they are paired with
Savannah St. of Georgia in an open-
ing round game in Danville, Ken-
tucky. Centre College, the host
school, and Lane College of
‘Tennessee will meet in the other
semifinal with the winners playing
for the title Saturday night
Although Albany failed (0 receive
fa ticket to the Eastern Regional, the
local committee felt the Danes
deserved to be inthe tournamentand
recommended such a moye to the
national selection committee, The
six-man group governing the selec-
tion process nationwide then tabbed
Albany to go southward due to a
Jack of quality local teams in that
region,

“11m just happy to be in the tour-
nament but 1 't see how we were
picked fifth in our region behind
Pratt," said Dane coach Dick
Suuers, referring to the school that
received the final eastern bid. “I'm
gonna just try and get as much infor-
mation on the teams in the regional
‘us possible, but { know they haven't
done well nationally lately.”

Should Albany win the southern
bracket, they would advance to the
quarterfinals in the 32-team tourna-
ment. Preliminary NCAA plans
schedule the southern champ to host
the winner of the Great Lakes region
in the quarterfinals, Those plans
could be switched by the national
committee but in all likelihood
Albany would host that game if they
can escape from the south unscath-
fed. The final four will advance to
Augustana College in Rock Island,
on March 16 and 17,

Before the Danes could secure a
slot in the title chase, they had to sur-
vive an extensive scrutinizing
process by regional and national
committees that included debate,
arguments and conference calls con-

tion process, Potsdam emerged as
the SUNYAC entrant by compiling
the best record among the three
squads that tied as conference tri-
champions, Albany and Plattsburgh
included, St, Lawrence got an
automatic spot by winning the In-
dependent Athletic Conference title
and Stony Brook was already

“When you analyze the results it
seems just about equal, so for me
personally, it came down to two
things,” Bailey continued.
“Plattsburgh won the head-to-head
encounter although I realize it was in
overtime, Then forme, Albany came
to Oneonta and we beat them by a
point and Plattsburgh came here the
next week and beat us hani
Meanwhile, with the dilemma
seemingly solved in favor of
Plattsburgh, and Albany in a virtual
state of limbo, there were other
feelings over the conference phone
line. By now it was about 11:30 and
the five had been talking for half an
hour, Lew Alexander of RIT, the un-
official chairman and presently
vacationing in Florida, spoke with
the others from his hotel room,
Pete Finnerty, Pace’s athletic
director and another member of the

Bailey says he remembers

‘So when the five-member NCAA.
eastern advisory board picked up
their respective telephones to join in
on a conference call at 11:00 a.m,
Sunday morning, their major chore
was to pick a fourth team to fill the
at-large berth, Leading that list of
eligibles were Albany, Pratt,
Plattsburgh, Manhattanville, Elmira
and Staten Island,

Before anything else we wanted
to decide between Albany and
Plattsburgh,” said Daye Bailey,
Oneonta’s Athletic Director and one
of the selection committee members,
over the phone. “That evaluation
came (0 @ virtual tossup, But
historically our conference is one of
the toughest Division III leagues in
the nation and I felt we deserved two
teams in the tourney.”

The matchup was impossible to
decide, according to Bailey. Albany
finished 18-6, Plattsburgh 17-8; the
Danes lost to their lone Diy. J foe,
Colgate, and Plattsburgh beat theirs,

Nearing 11:45, it came down to
Pratt and Plattsburgh, Despite a
lackluster 15-9 mark, Pratt had im-

losses came to Division I squads
and one to Division 1 LIU, The
leading plus for Pratt was their 95-83

Danes Passed Over In East; Picked For Southern Bid

the Danes’ fate was quite literally
tossed among men from ocean to
ocean.

‘According to Mesilien, Alexander
presented his four and then made a
strong pitch for Albany, while also
mentioning Plattsburgh, and ex-
pounded on the Danes’ prowess and
said he felt they deserved to be in the
tournament, Then he returned to the
sun-baked beaches of southern
Florida without knowing if his
recommendations had been ap-
proved.

“We're looking for teams that are
eligible to play and deserving to play
in the tournament,” said Mesillen
from Kansas City yesterday, “We
felt Albany State deserved to be in
the tournament, We've moved
qualified teams around before and
the SUNYAC conference has a very
good reputation because of their
past suiccess in the tournament,”

Mesillen explained that the south
is relatively weak spot for Division
111 basketball and last year (wo teams
in the regional came from out of the
area, William Penn, a midwestern
school, is playing in the western
region this weekend so the trend con=

team chase have been vacant rather

The main casualty resulting from
Albany's bid was the proposed
fourth team from the southern
region. In an eight-state area encom-
passing 23 teams, the south has the

sHow the precariousness of their
decision, Transylvania St. of Ken-

the spot by the national committee

“I wanted the team from my
region to get in there so 1 wasn't in
favor of Albany State, you might
say," said Willie Shaw, the Athletic
Director at Lane, with a chuckle
yesterday from Tennessee. “But the
committee is essentially looking for
the best teamand my fourth spot was
ejected and after a long debate and
discussion, Albany was in.

Shaw is the southern advisory
chairman and also a member of the
national group s:1 he was involved in
the cross-continental debate that
eventually saw the Danes get a bid.
He said that aside from results, there
really is little realistic chance for him
and others to be up on a particular
region other than their own, They
took the word of Alexander that
Albany was a solid fifth in the east
and deserved a shot.

Aiexander was unavailable for

his Floridian hotel was futile, Yet,
from all apparent evidence his word
placed Albany as a strong choice

mittee of course had 32 other
positions to quibble over and after
three hours, they acquiessed with
their decision.

Finnerty and Sunderland both ex-
pressed satisfaction over Albany's
delegation to Kentucky and Bailey
was surprised Plattsburgh was pass-
ed over in fayor of the Danes, Mc-
sillen said it will be interesting to see
how a New York State school fares

Alumni Quad Election Questioned

Council Procedures Investigated

by Steven Oster

Recent Central Council elections
to select two representatives from
Alumni Quad have come under fire
due (0 alleged deviations from man-
datory procedure.

The first election, held two weeks
go, was ruled invalid after it was
learned that ballots were not distri-
buted to Brubacher Hall. A new el
tion, which ends today, has also been
ssailed when it was revealed that
mandatory ASP ads announcing the

Hot had not been submitted, ac
cording to candidate Steven Cox.

Central Council-member Scott

Lonsbury sald that the earlier elec-
tions were invalidated after candi-
date Marvin Fermin filed protest,
citing the lack of ballotting in Brus
bacher Hall as grounds. Lonsbury
said that, after informing SA Presi-
dent Paul Feldman of the situation,
Feldman “said that they would be

ber acknowledged the problem, but
said that Brubacher was overlooked
because in the past yoter (urn-out

SA Court Stops Council Vote

Ruffo Calls It Unconstitutional

by Michele Israel

The Student Association Supreme
Court issued an injunction to stop
Yoting on a $90,000 Dippikill appro:
priation Tuesday, citing lack of rep:
resentation from Alumni Quad

The appropriation, which would
have provided the funds fora student
center, i fog cabin, a washroom faci
tity, and camping areas at the
SUNYA Warren County retreat was
delayed on request by Steve Cox,
Central Council Candidate from Al
umni Quad

Cox said that the Student Associa
tion had been running “slipshe
elections in the last two weeks, elimi:
nating 900 students from discussion

of the Dippikill issue.

Central Council Chairperson Dave
Ruffo argued with the Court's in
junction decision, claiming that the
court is not allowed to interfere with
‘legislative decision unless a policy
has been passed or an election needs
to be invalidated, The voting on the
Dippikill funding, Ruffo said, did

{meet these requirements and
yerefore could not be halted.

“The Supreme Court judgment

the Constitution,” Ruffo said. “No

Ruffo, in challenging the Court's
