Eagle Scout

By Melissa Cooper
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

“AIDS is not a threat to the community,
ignorance is,” said 18-year-old Henry
Nicols Wednesday in a speech in the
Campus Center Ballroom.

Nicols, an Eagle Scout from
Cooperstown, N.Y., was diagnosed with
AIDS last November and since March has
been on a very busy national speaking
tour, educating Americans about the
myths and realities of the disease.

Nicols, a hemophiliac, said he
contracted the HIV virus which causes
AIDS in 1983 or 1984, during one of his
regular blood transfusions. Apparently,
Nicols said, the blood he received was
infected. It was not until last November,
however, that he was diagnosed with
“full-blown AIDS.”

“AIDS is a very difficult disease to
catch,” Nicols said. “The three ways of
contracting it is if your are born to a
person who is infected, have unprotected
sex with an infected person, or have
blood-to-infected blood contact.”

“The fastest rising risk group for

as campaign pit-stop

would not pertain to her political agenda.

In her speech, Ferraro blasted the
Reagan/Bush administrations for their
excessive military spending and their
unwillingness to help the declining middle
class.

“In 1991, 3 of 4 Americans pay a larger
percentage of their earnings to taxes than
they did in 1981,” Ferraro said. “Today I
worry that the middle class. I struggled to
get into is an endangered species.”

Discussing the state of higher education
in the United States, Ferraro, once a
beneficiary of a college scholarship,
expressed more concerns about the Bush
Administration and its allocation of
resources.

“I went to college on a
scholarship...without college, I wouldn’t
have gotten a job teachingsecond graders
in New York City...or have gone to law
school.... My life would have been
different...my ability [to contribute]
would have been seriously limited,” she
explained.

“Who will be there to help our children
with their dreams.... We have an
education budget of $29 billion and a
military budget of $290 billion—do we
want a nation that can fight ten times
better than it can think?”

Ferraro also addressed problems
concerning the distribution of health
benefits, which she said is a “basic right”
for all Americans.

“One in five Americans can’t get the
health care they need.... America stands

contracting the AIDS virus is the 16-25
year old age group,” he said, “and the
number one way to catch AIDS is
heterosexual, unprotected sex.”

According to Nicols, the reasons this
age group, which includes the majority of
SUNYA students, is at such risk are: these
people are just becoming sexually active,
they are experimenting with alcohol and
drugs, and they have the feeling they are
immortal. “They're careless and they
don’t think AIDS will happen to them,”
he said.

“AIDS isn’t a gay disease or a drug
disease or my disease,” he said.

Nicols talked about the fear and
paranoia attached to the disease. “AIDS is
different because people are afraid of
people with AIDS, but people who have
AIDS are also afraid of the public...”

“Until March, I never told any of my
friends, my best friends and girlfriend
about it,” he said. “It was hard to tell
them about it.”

“It’s a difficult burden no one should
carry,” Nicols’ father said.

“Tt doesn’t matter how you get AIDS,”

alone with South Africa as the only two
developed nations without a national
health care program,” Ferraro said.

Once a U.S. vice presidential candidate,
Ferraro said she has now firmly focused
her attention on the Democratic
nomination and eventually unseating
“slippery” two-time incumbent Alfonse
D'Amato.

“Let me put a vicious rumor to rest. I
never had my eye on Al D’Amato’s seat;
1 just want his job,” she joked.

Ferraro dispersed mention of her
campaign for the Senate throughout her
lecture, which “surprised” and
“concerned” the presentation’s
coordinators and fellow SA members.

At one point Ferraro said she was not in
favor of term limitations because “that’s
not how. 1 want to win the race. Let the
people make the decision.”

“We were a little bit surprised,” said
Kristin Lang, chair of the academic affairs
committee for Central Council.

“T thought it was going to be more on
educational issues and less on campaign
issues, but I was pleased nonetheless.”

Cindy Goldberg, Central Council chair
and the event’s initial coordinator,
expressed a definite concern for clarifying
SA’s position on Ferraro’s comments.

“I hope the nature of her candidacy
didn’t cloud the student issues she
addressed,” she said.

Hostage freed

Damascus, Syria
(AP) American mathematics professor
Jesse Turner, looking pale and wan, was
turned over to the U.S. ambassador
Tuesday after spending more than 4 1/2
years as a captive of Shiite Muslim
kidnappers in Lebanon.

His release, which involved some
confusion, was the fruit of intense U.N.
efforts that have since August led to
freedom for three other Western hostages.

The swap deals have led to freedom for
Arab detainees held by Israel and its allies
and the release of information on the fate
of Israeli soldiers missing in Lebanon.

With Turner’s release, eight Western
hostages remain in Lebanon.

“T'd like to say I'm very happy to be out,
finally, and I'm looking forward to seeing
my family and friends,” the 44 year-old
Boise, Idaho native told reporters at the
Syrian Foreign Ministry at 9:20 a.am.

Shoe fate undecided

Manila, Philippines
(AP) If Imelda Marcos fulfills her pledge
and retums next month, what will become
of the fabulous collection of shoes and
other personal items on exhibit at the
Malacanang presidential palace?

President Corazon Aquino’s
government has been playing footsy with
the answer.

“If they can prove the shoes belong to
her, they will be given to her,” said
assistant presidential spokesman Horacio
Parades.

But Mariel Tolentino, executive director
of the Malacanang Museum where the
shows are on display, said she is not sure.

Mrs. Marcos left behind most of her
personal belongings, including the famous
1,700 pairs of shoes, dresses and a
bullet-proof bra, when she fled the
country during the 1986 “people power
revolution” that toppled her late husband,
former President Ferdinand Marcos.

Truck rams Vet hall

Killeen, Texas
(AP) A man rammed his pickup into a
veterans hall after threatening to do
violence worse than the Killeen cafeteria
massacre, authorities said. No injuries
were reported, and the man was in jail
today.
Employees at the hall in Kempner said

that when Daniel Bobb was asked to leave
the place Thursday, he warned he would
come back and the Killeen massacre
“would be small compared with what he
was going to do,” Sheriff Gordon Morris
said.

“He got into his pickup truck and
attempted to run through a metal side
entrance door to the club, causing
extensive damage to the door, door frame
and metal building supports,” the sheriff
said.

Bobb was arrested at his home Friday
and charged with making terroristic
threats and criminal mischief.

Meanwhile Monday, police said an
autopsy on Killeen gunman George
Hennard, 35, showed no trace of drugs,
alcohol or brain tumors or other
abnormalities that could have affected his

Abortion law upheld

moving it closer to a test in the U.S.
Supreme Court that could be the undoing

In its ruling Monday, a three-judge
panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals largely reversed a lower court
decision and held that the 1989
restrictions do not “unduly burden”

pregnancy.

“Tt makes perfectly clear the courts are
no longer going to protect a woman’s

Sex charges dropped

Homer
(AP) An elementary school teacher
resigned from his job and agreed to
continue psychotherapy for six months in
exchange for the dismissal of sexual
abuse charges against him.

Mark A. Darou, 32, a teacher at
McGraw Elementary School, was accused
of fondling a third-grade boy on a June
1990 fishing trip while two other boys
watched. Darou turned in his letter of
resignation to village court Monday night
after lawyers worked out the plea
agreement.

Special prosecutor Robert T. Jewett said
the case’s resolution was satisfactory,
considering the psychiatric evaluation of
Darou, a former resident of Cortland who
moved to St. Lawrence County after the
charges surfaced early last summer.

According to the agreement, Darou’s
file will be permanently sealed in six
months if he is not rearrested during that
time and complies with the stipulations.

A $250,00 civil lawsuit filed by the
mother of the alleged victim is still
pending.

Shoreham decided

Albany
(AP) The state’s highest court yesterday
upheld Gov. Mario Cuomo’s agreement to
shut down the Shoreham nuclear power
plant.

Under. the agreement endorsed by a
sharply—divided Court of Appeals, the
state agreed to buy the troubled Long
Island power plant for $1 and dismantle it.

That agreement had been challenged by
several parties, including the U.S.
Department of Energy, a group of Long
Island businesses and some individuals.
The court, in a 4-3 decision, threw out all
the challenges.

The Shoreham plant, built at a cost of
more than.$5.5 billion by the Long Island
Lighting Company, has never operated at
anything above a 5 percent power test.
Located in Suffolk County, the project
pushed LILCO into financial trouble.

Coumo, who had long argued that
Shoreham was unsafe to operate because
of its island location, reached the
agreement with LILCO to scrap the plant
in 1989.

The agreement’s challengers had argued
that because the state Legislature never
voted on the Cuomo-LILCO agreement,
the governor had usurped legislative
power.

The majority of the Court of Appeals
judges disagreed.

Prison system Emerson recounts tales of war

keeps them
coming back

By Tanya Sharrock
STAFF WRITER

Dr. Alice Green, a local criminal justice
specialist, criticized the criminal justice
system and the treatment of inmates
Thursday in a speech at the University
Library.

Green, the executive director for the
Center for Law and Justice, Inc., in
Albany, blasted the system for stacking
the odds against inmates, especially after
they are released.

“Upon (an inmate’s) release, the inmate
is given $40 to start a new life,” Green
said. “Realistically speaking, $40 in hand,
no job lined up, no skills, no home
address, how likely is it, for this
individual to begin his new life in good
standing?”

According to Green, because of a lack
of “beneficial programs” for inmates
while they are incarcerated, there is a
high rate of repeat offenders. She said it
was indicative of a system that does not
work or one that was not designed to
work.

Green criticized some of the programs
that are “supposedly” for the benefit of
the inmates. She recalled a visit toa
prison where she saw prisoners making
license plates. “They were set up in an
assembly line form where each prisoner
did the same thing over and over, and
there was even one man responsible for
putting the plates in plastic bags,” she
said.

Green suggested developing more
beneficial programs for inmates. “Why
not provide a prisoner with a trade so at
least they will some skills that they can
use upon their release?” she asked.

According to a Center for Law and
Justice brochure, there is “little hope as
long as society continues to respond with
incarceration, ignores the need for
effective treatment and crime prevention,
and overlooks community-based
Programs that could help people in
trouble become productive members of
society.”

Green used statistics from the center to
highlight the problems faced by blacks
and Latinos. “Young black men are more

plates in plastic bags.”

than 23 times more likely than young
white men to be incarcerated in New
York State. Latinos are more than 11
times more likely to be incarcerated than
young white men. As a result, nearly 85
percent of the prison population in New
York State is black or Latino,” the
brochure stated.

“The disproportionate incarceration...
generates enormous social, fiscal and
political costs; it destroys families; it
deepens poverty, anger and despair, and it
tobs the community of potential leaders,”
it stated.

Green urged the community to become
involved and be concerned for the
treatment of blacks and Latinos in the
prisons “because no one else will.”

“Legislative officials see very few
blacks coming to their offices to demand
changes,” she said.

Changes must be made, Green said,
because the impact the criminal justice
system has on the individual and the
community is a destructive one.

Gloria Emerson, a journalist/writer of a
National Book Award, spoke about her
experiences covering the Vietnam War for
The New York Times to approximately
30 people in HU 354 Tuesday aftemoon.

The informal talk was hosted by the
New York State Writers Institute as part
of their Visiting Writers Series.

“You don’t have to go to war to write
about war,” she said. Emerson said it took
her 30 years to realize she could have
stayed in her apartment building in New
York City and written about the war. “I’m
very interested in resistance... I’m very
interested in uprisings.”

That interest in resistance took her not
only to Vietnam, but Belfast and
Nicaragua, where she learned how to
“face down” soldiers.

“I was in Belfast, interviewing a family
in their kitchen, when some soldiers
kicked down the door and arrested two
women on suspicion of being with the
IRA (Irish Republican Army)... In my
arrogance, I said, “You are interrupting an
interview...for The New York Times.’

She said the soldiers looked “so big and
so much stronger than everyone else.”
Emerson, being six feet tall , of medium
build, said she pulled herself up to her
“full sitting height” and faced them down
without a moment’s hesitation. “They

paid no attention (to me) and took them
(the women) away,” she said.

When asked about the value of writing
about Vietnam 20 years later, Emerson
answered, “Why not? Never start writing
for what you think people want to read
about.”

Emerson said, “any fool can go to war,
but it takes a special someone to write
about it. Our first responsibility should be
to stop it.”

Emerson also spoke in the Campus
Center Assembly Hall at 8:00 pm that
night for those who missed the earlier
gathering.

WCDB offers Latin music show

By Stacey Golluscio

In response to Fuerza Latina’s
complaints last February at Central
Council meeting, WCDB is now offering
a Latin music show. The show replaces
the world music show on Tuesday nights
from 11:00 pm to 1:00 am.

José Maymi, former Fuerza Latina
president and the current director of
multicultural affairs, said he brought the
complaint to Central Council with the
support of 50 to 70 people. “We brought
good attention to the issue,” Maymi said.

Central Council passed a ruling which
said the two groups would have their
budgets frozen if they did not come to an
agreement, said Kristen Coury, WCDB’s

“Though we were criticized on our

According to Coury, the deejays have
to express an interest in a specific area

add a program or change existing ones.
Last year, at the time of the proposal,
there were no deejays who expressed an

for the losses of those close to
us,
Grief is a set of reactions to the
loss of someone important to us.
It is a normal, expected, adaptive
response, Reactions vary widely
across individuals and situations.
Certain emotions may
predominate in one person’s
grief, and barely present in
another’s. An individual’s
response is just that:
INDIVIDUAL. However, there
are certain stages that have been
identified. These should be seen
as fluid, and not linear
progression from one stage to
another.

DENIAL, SHOCK AND
NUMBNESS - in which the
bereaved is not yet able to
absorb the loss of a friend or
loved one. There is often denial
that the loss has occurred. Denial
is often characterized by an
increase in restless activity. The
bereaved may attempt to remain
busy in order to avoid the pain of
active grieving. Soon, however,
the reality is faced and the work

of mourning begins.

ANGER: The bereaved may
express a great deal of anger at a
variety of targets. It may be that
medical personnel are seen as
having contributed to the
deceased suffering, or that a
friend is felt to have made an
insensitive remark, or the anger
may be directed at the deceased
themselves. What makes this
emotion especially difficult for
the bereaved to express, is the
constraints that our culture
places on the expression of
strong feelings in general. Anger,
especially, is regarded as suspect
and generally not easily
accepted. Nonetheless, to
experience healing, the bereaved
needs to express a range of
feelings.

It is important to note-that the
more conflict or ambivalence
there was in the relationship, the
more difficult the grief process
generally is for the bereaved.

YEARNING AND PROTEST:
This stage is closely tied to the
expression of anger, in that the

bereaved realizes the loss, and
experiences angry protest that
the deceased is gone. The griever
yearns constantly for the
deceased, and may appear
inconsolable. Indeed, a feature of
the stage of grief is social
withdrawal. Friends may feel
especially helpless to comfort
the bereaved, who is preoccupied
with the deceased and seems out
of reach,

DEPRESSION: This stage is
important to the healing of grief,
and represents full awareness
that the deceased is gone. Social
withdrawal continues, and
feelings at this time include
irritability, sadness and crying,
lethargy, a sense of distance from
others, and deprivation. Feeling
of guilt are common, again,
especially if the relationship was
characterized by ambivalence.

ACCEPTANCE: The length of
time it takes for the bereaved to
pass through the previous stages
of the grief process, and arrive at
some degree of acceptance of the
loss, varies a great deal. Often

the bereaved will feel able to
begin to invest in new
relationships at about the one
year point. For others, and in
cases of especially violent or
sudden death, or in the case of
suicide, this can be prolonged.

HOW FRIENDS CAN HELP:
It is easy to feel helpless in the
face of a friends pain, yet the
kind of consolation that is most
needed is actually the simplest.
First of all, just your presence is
one for which the bereaved is
often very grateful. Frequently
there is a need to relate, over and
over, the details of the death.
This may include how they
learned or were told of the death,
where they were, their
immediate reactions, It is a way
for the person to begin to absorb
the reality of the loss.

Secondly, friends can lend
support for the expression of
painful emotions by being
listeners, All too often friends
assume that they do not know
enough to help, when what is

So, What Are You Going To Do
With The hest Of Your Life? |

“What are you doing
to do with your life?’

Can you answer that
question? If you can, you're
lucky. IF you can't-don't
worry, you're not alone.

Itis not surprising that
more and more
students

they are
going to do With their lives
after college. What is
upsetting is that many of
these confused students are
Juniors and seniors, students
who Will be graduating
SOON ANd are UNable to
make crucial decisions
about their lives.

This problem is
plaguing our nation’s young
people. From her small
office In the Career ~
Development Center, Nancy
Cuddihy speaks of the
seriousness of the situation.
“I've had a lot of seniors
come here who are
graduating in December and
are absolutely clueless. They
don't Know what they want
to do, even what their
interests are. They don't
know who they are,” she
sald sadly. ‘

Although this is
affecting all students, it is of
primary concern to the so-
called “liberal arts"majors.
Unlike the majors which
train students With
technical skills, such as the
natural sciences,
accounting, business, or
Medical fields, the liberal
arts are more abstract and
generally do not leada
student directly to a
particular career goal. If this
is so, then Why do students
take their chances and
choose these majors in the
first place?

Many students
repond similarly to
History/Africian American
Studies major Rick Aurelien.
“Cause | did Well in it in high’
school,” he says simply.
Others, like Latin American
Studies Major Craig
Evenhouse, say they chose
their majors for reasons like,
“| had many interests and
experiences in the area”.
Senior Julie Kiernan had
wanted to major in
business but couldn't get
into the business school .
She ended up choosing

risien

economics beéause it Was
something else that
interested her.

According to Cuddihy
FZASONS SUCH as these are
quite common. “They come
in and say that they chose
their major because
they thought it was
‘@asy, “she explains.
“They decided to
come here and
major in it but they haven't
looked into anything else”.

Now, many of those
students Who chose their
Majors because the subject
“interested them” or
because they got an “A” ina
the 100 level introductory
course are regretting their
decisions and becoming
increasingly nervous about
their futures. Julie Kiernan
NOW finds Ecomomics “dull”
and Evenhouse says in a
matter-of-fact tone of
voice, “I'm at a point Where |
don’t know What I'm going
to do with my life”...

“There's a lot of
anxiety, to the point of tears
sometimes,” says Victor
DeSantis, director of the
Career Development Center
on campus. “It often
depends on the amount of
pressure they get from their
families, their peers and the
amount they put on
themselves." He explains
how many students feel
added pressure because
their roommates Know
what they are doing.
Society pressures are
tough.” he says. “They
expect you to live your
whole life before you're
thirty".

Amidst all this aniexty
and uncertainty , is there
hope for these confused
students? According to the
counselors at Career
Development there is .

Students should not
have the attitude that, “Just
because I'M an “HK” or “Y"
major | won't get a job.
English, History , Sociology
and Anthropology offer a
Wide aray of possibilties for
their students, sometimes
even more than for
someone in the physical
sciences or business, Who.
according to Desantis can,
"Become too narrowly
focused.” He says It Is
important to convince
people they ate not stuck.
“They may have to do a little
more,” he said. “it MIght

even have to be an extra
year of college, but they do
have options.”

If this is the case,
should liberal arts majors
try to obtain skills outside
their majors in order to
make themselves more
marketable?

Not necessarily.

“IL tHINK a lot of liberal
arts Majors have a lot of
skills to begin With, “says
Cuadgihy, “They're not skill-
less." Nevertheless, she
doesnt negate the
importance of learning
More specialized skills.
Besides learning basics like
Word processing and
uuriting skills, both she and

iA) G

DeSantis strongly agree
experience in the student's
field of interest is important,
especially for those who
would like to find out better
uuho they are and where
they are and Where their
interests lig. They
FSCOMMENEYD gaining this
experience through
relevant summer Work,
internships, or through
volunteering.

“It is time to give up
Burger King,” warns
DeSantis.

The “CPC Annual"(a guide to
career planning the job
search, graduate school and
WOFrkK related education)
states if you are about to
graduate and plan on
entering a low-demand
Joob area, you should keep
in mind several things. First
You Will have to Work much
harder to find a job in your
field of study than someone
With specialized skills

demand job area. Second if
you don't find a job in your
field and don't want to
consider alternatives, then
you might consider the
possibility of accepting a job
in your field that does not
necessarily require a
college education with the
hope of moving toa
highter-level position When
vacancies open.

If you don't plan on
Working right away or
sitting in your parent's
house doing nothing, then
there is always the
possibilties of graduate
school. But DeSantis says he
is “strongly biased against
going to graduate
school right away.”
He belives “most of
Us Need to Work a
little in between
college and grad
school in order to
Find out What We
really want to do.”
He also explained
that many MBA
schools won't even
accept candidates

-Jwho haven't been
ae out there a few
years.”

While still on
Campus one of the
best thing for

looking for Work in a high-

ip Pe Vi ae students is to pay a

visit to the Career

sarryDevelooment

» alts center. The Center

provides programs,
Workshops, and

individual counseling for
students from all academic
Majors and from all years of
study. The counselors
recommend coming in
early in your college career,
especially as freshman and
sophomores, in order to
explore your possibilties.
Juniors and seniors can also
benefit tremendously from
the Center's services
because they can evalute
the skills they have already
acquired and Work on
sorting out their futures.

So, undergrads, don't
give Up hope! You are young

because of the paths you
have taken. For now, you're

Stop digging up
those bodies

The great exhumation rush of 1991 may be
coming to a cemetery near you. Should we be
lexamining the remains of days gone by, or our,
country's ethical standards?

Zachary Taylor's body was recently exhumed]
in order to prove a theory that he was poisoned.|
The results were inconclusive, however, we
can rest assured of one thing - he's still dead.
They would have been better off trying to find
the pits from the cherries they thought
contained the arsenic, or having a séance.

Death is the one thing we could be sure of,
until now. The expression "Rest In Peace"
seems to have taken on a new meaning in the|
nineties. The New Webster's Dictionary might
update the entry for peace to include, “unless|
our curiosity gets the better of us.”

This practice must stop. Every Phd with a|
theory is coming out of the woodwork in an|
lattempt to solidify what we know about our|
history. The age of information is going]
lhaywire; we MUST tie up those nasty loose
lends. Grave-robbing used to be a crime. Now}
it's in style.

History is important, no doubt. They say that

those who ignore history are destined to repeat
it. But a burial is an awful thing to do more|
than once. Most of us hope that we won't have}
ito witness the loss of too many loved ones in|
our lifetime. To purposely repeat such a}
process is ludicrous.
Dr. Carl Austin Weiss, alleged assasin of|
Huey Long, governor of Louisiana, has|
become the most recent victim of these morbid
scientific sleuths. In 1935, when both men
died, Weiss was originally accepted as the}
killer of Long. Now, a forensics expert believes}
[Long's own watchdogs did the job in an effort}
to get rid of Weiss.

Weiss’ coffin fell apart upon exhumation but
reports say there was a usable skeleton and
some tissue. Of use to whom we might ask.

Will they have’to rewrite All the Kings Men
if the story somehow changes? Why can't we|
just let sleeping bones lie?

Thanks for the
soap

A new addition has been added to the|
(Campus Center bathrooms that will make your}
visit a little nicer. Long-awaited soap
dispensers have been installed on the walls.
And not the cheap kinds either, that you have}
ito push up on from the bottom. These beauties,
made by Liberty, have soap release bars on the}
lbase of the dispenser. The soap itself is a
blessing. Pink, creamy and smelling of baby]
powder, it's a big improvement over the liquid
lorange/yellow stuff seen on the rest of the
campus. -

Thank you, whoever is responsible for this
new addition. And please, don't just stop in the|
(Campus Center. The entire University could|
profit from a sweeter smelling soap. After all,
it's the little things that make a big difference.

COLUMN

FRANKLY, MY DEAR,
T DONT GNE

In defense of Zionism

This column is written in response to the article “On
Zionism” written by Jeffrey Humphrey and George
Rosamond, which appeared in the October 9 issue of The
Student Voice. I was quite taken aback by the accusations
they made towards Israel. Let me start with the definition
of Zionism, according to the American Heritage
Dictionary: “1, A plan or movement of the Jewish people
to return to the Diaspora to Palestine. A movement
originally aimed at the reestablishment of a Jewish
national homeland and state in Palestine and now
concerned with the development of Israel.”

Allow me to recite a brief history of the Jews and
Israel. For centuries Jews have been oppressed. They
were expelled from one country after the next. In ancient
times they were enslaved by the Egyptians and expelled
by the Babylonians. They were held responsible for the
death of the Jew, Jesus, and later accused of blood liable

and Spreading the black plague. There were the Crusades
Scott Lantzman

¢ Inquisition, follows yy the expulsion
Spain. More recently there were progroms in Russia
followed by a Holocaust.

It was 1882 when modern Jewish immigration to
Palestine began, then under the rule of the Ottoman
Empire. In 1917, the British government, newly in
control of Palestine, issued the Balfour Declaration,
promising the Jews a Jewish state in Palestine (which at
that time consisted of the Jordan of today). Four years
later, the Emirate of Transjordan was created east of the
Jordan River, consisting of %80 of the territory of
Palestine. Arab rioting occurred in 1920, 1928-29, and
1936-39. On May 17, 1939, the British government
issued a “White Paper” that closed Palestine to Jews
fleeing Nazi-dominated Europe. World War II began a
few months later on September 1, and six million Jews
died in Europe during 1939-1945. On November 29,
1947 the United Nations established the partition plan of
Palestine, which was met by Palestinian and allied Arab
irregulars launching widespread armed attacks on Jewish
settlements. On May 14, 1948 david Ben-Gurion
proclaimed the independence of the state of Israel. Seven
Arab nations attacked Israel and led to the War of
Independence which lasted through July 1949. The war
led to mass exodus of Palestinian Arab refugees, while at
the same time, large numbers of Jewish refugees from the
Arab countries fled and were settled in Israel. In 1956,
Israel was victorious in the Sinai campaign, and under
pressure and international assurances, evacuated Sinai in
1957. In June of 1967, Israel was victorious in the Six
Day War, gaining the West Bank and the Old City, Gaza,
Sinai (which was later relinquished), and the Golan
heights, and Jerusalem was united as Israel’s capital. On

September 5, 1972, the terrorist group, Black September,
killed 11 Israeli athletes in the Massacre at Munich
during the Olympics. In October of 1973, Israel fought
the Yom Kipper War. In 1976, terrorists hijacked an Air
France plane to Entebbe, Uganda. They only retained the
Jewish passengers and the crew, who refused to leave
them, but released all the other passengers. Israel
launched a miracle rescue mission resulting in only three
Jewish deaths, including the leader of the mission,
Binyamin Nitanyahu. On September 11, 1978 Egypt
signed a peace treaty with Israel. In 1982, Israel attacked
the PLO in Lebanon, upon invitation by the Lebanese
government, and forced the PLO to evacutate from
Beirut. On December 9, 1987, the Intifada officially
began with rioting in Gaza. Most recently, Iraq, for the
sake of it attacked Israel in the Gulf War.

As can be seen, there have been many antagonists in
the history of the Jews in Israel. It was this antagonism
that gave birth to Zionism. Humphrey and Rosamond
write: “The Zionists have condescendingly noted their
efforts to save the Ethiopian Jews in 1984 and again in
1991.” This is not the case at all. In the 43 years that
Israel has been a state, she has tried to be the safe haven
for Jews all over the world. Israel is responsible for not
just the rescue of Ethiopia’s Jewry, but for fifteen other
fescue operations over that time period from USSR,
Albania, Syria, Morocco, Yemen, Iran, Iranian Kurdistan,
Afganistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt (twice), India,
Tunisia/Algeria, and Romania accounting for a total of
over 1,250,000 Jews.

Humphery and Rosamond go on to write: “In one
hotel, which houses both Ethiopian and Russian Jews,
Tacist incidents against the Black Jews are
common...these hotels, [note the sudden pluralization],
actually have separate elevators for each group.”
Humphery and Rosamond begin by stating an issue they
claim occurred in one hotel, and applying this case to all
the hotels. I was fortune enough to be in Israel when
Operation Solomon took place. I witnessed firsthand the
rescue of these 14,400 Jews (not “Black Jews,” just plain,
old, ordinary “Jews”). It was truly a miracle. My friends
and I volunteered many hours helping out at these hotels,
along with many other Jews. I even saw Russian Jews
helping out and volunteering. Not once did I see separate
elevators for the Ethiopean and Russian Jews. I rode of
an elevator with Ethiopians, just as everyone else at that
was at the Hotel did.

Humphery and Rosamond accuse Israel and the Zionist
founders as basing Zionism “upon the exclusion and
subordination of indigenous Palestinian people. In the
early 20th century (Theodor) Herzel and (Max) Nordau
both knew this, so they attempted to gain hegemony in

[onfedsions of a Giant Pympkin

One morning, I woke up to find that
overnight I had mysteriously
transformed into a giant pumpkin.
Sound too Kafkaesque to be true?
Well, for three weekends this year, I
actually was a pumpkin. Miss
Pumpkin, to be exact - at the annual
Greig Farm Pumpkin Festival.

Meghan Howard

Growing up on a farm does have its
interesting moments, but having to
dress up in a large, orange felt
pumpkin suit for the entertainment of
people from New York City and Long
Island (who drive two hours for this
privilege) ranks right up there with

Festival itself is the biggest event on

well as the festival events - hay rides,

How did I end up being a pumpkin?
This is actually the second year I’ve
done it. Anything I agree to on a
ninety degree day in August should
not be held against me. However,
taking on the squash persona is sort
of like doing the dishes: nobody
wants to do it, so when someone
jokingly agrees, it is then accepted as
gospel. For life. Anyway, The Call

Once again I found myself climbing

The leak who sparked the Judge
Thomas/sexual harassment debate
has inspired a new generation of
informants in search of justice by
revealing secret information. Through
such a source, I have found the true
meaning of Halloween, and it is not
nearly as sweet and innocent as one
would think it is.

Noah H. Wildman

Halloween, as we know it today, is a

non-religious holiday where kids
dress up in silly costumes and eat too
many sweets. Some fringe groups
(like Pagans, Satanists and Witches)
claim that Halloween is their holiday.
Some people think that Halloween
was created by the costume industry,
just as Mother’s and Father’s Day
were created by Hallmark. They are
all wrong.

Halloween is the creation of the Van

pumpkin shape. I think this was the
fifth year the costume was used, so in
reality, I looked like Miss Orange
Zucchini. Most people were kind
enough not to point this out. In the
front of the suit there is a small hole,
located just about where a navel
would be. Most people were more
than happy to point this out, however,
gleefully calling out to their families.
(“Hey kids, come see the Pumpkin’s
bellybutton!” “It’s just like mine,
mommy!”) By the end of the first day,
the small hole became a gaping hole,
much to the continued delight of the
crowd.

I spent a lot
of time at the

Pelt Society, popularly known as
Great Pumpkinists. Its latest
charismatic guru and pseudo-deity is
Charles Schultz, who uses many
characteristics of Pumpkinism in his
world wide newspaper comic strip,
"Peanuts." The leak, an ex-Van Pelt
member, claims that this man has
used the mass media and turned the
innocent fall rite of Halloween into
something much deeper, darker, and
stinkier than a UAS grilled cheese.

The Van Pelt Society takes their name
from Linus Van Pelt, a cartoon
character from the "Peanuts" strip.
Linus is the primary saint and prophet
of the Society, the Jesus Christ of
Pumpkianity. Schultz, through Linus,
prophesized that if one were to
achieve a perfect state of goodness,
God would come to this person in a
perfect pumpkin patch and reward
the believer with a great present.
What day? Halloween. What god? The
Great Pumpkin. One must be a true

tides. This caused an uproar, usually
some downstate matron loudly
whispering, “Oh my Gawd, there’s a
pumpkin driving that tractor! Hold

It was here that I got some of the best
reactions to being Miss Pumpkin.

this kind of absolute faith.
Pumpkinists call this “Luciocity.” Just
as a non-Jew is called a “goy” by Jews,
a non-believer is a “Lucy.”

I lost touch with the leak after the
first interview, but I received a death
threat from a member of the Van Pelts.
It said: “If the Campus Crusade for

problem, I said. Hah! Most of the way,
I had to practically drag this stupid
donkey named Elvis up and down the
path. (The first donkey I had was
Molly, but after she threw a kid to the
ground, she was hastily retired.) That
night, I was unbelievably sore. Pulling
donkeys should replace aerobics (if it
doesn’t kill you, that is). I felt like Pa
Ingalls, after he pulled the plow all
day in the south forty because the
horse died.

One Sunday it rained, so practically
no one came. We were bored, and
were beginning to think we should
throw children into the pond for
entertainment, when Mike (another
hay ride driver) and I came up with
an idea: donkey jousting. It’s the
sport of the nineties, I’m sure. It
involves two people on donkeys
rushing toward each other with the
intent to knock the other to the
ground. In the Middle Ages this was
done for honor; I think our contest
was for insanity. Our field of contest
was muddy and parts of it were
under water, not to mention it was
still raining. We had to use brooms as
weapons. I was thrown off into the
mud four times. (Two due to jousts,
two due to an uncooperative donkey -
remember Molly?) The contest ended
up ina tie, 2-2.

Even after all this excitement, I’m
hanging up my stem this year. After
two plus years in college, I’ve learned
to say no. I am entertaining notions of
going pro, however. I could be the
Orange for Syracuse. I’m sure the
switch from squash to citrus isn’t that
hard. Hmmm.

A SAD, SWEET SONG

She watched him slip out the back door, gliding past the pool and toward
the garden, toward her.

In his hand was a glass of orange liquid, which he offered her. “No
thanks,” she said, folding her arms across her chest. “I'm already wasted.”
He shrugged, lifted the drink, sipped. “Isn't it kind of cold to be standing

out here?”

She breathed deeply, watching the plumes of white air form near her
mouth. “Yes, it is.”

“Then why are you here?”

“Standing out here?”

“Yes,”

“| wanted to get away,” she said.

“From the party?”

“Yes.”

“Does your date know where you are?”

Subtle, she thought. “I came alone.”

“Ah,” he said.

She looked at him. His eyes were blue, icy. Face white, sharp-angled, but
handsome in an unusual way.

“| hate fucking parties,” she said, because it was something to say.

“So do |. Always have. There’s no privacy, and there’s so much noise you
can’t hear yourself think. Is that why you came out here?”

“| don’t know. Maybe.”

She shivered. She wanted to go back into the house where it was warm,
but she thought she might pass out before she made it there. So she just
stood still.

“My name's Dean,” he said.

“Hi, Dean.” A long silence as he waited for her to introduce herself. “I’m
Joanna,” she said.

“Hello, Joanna. You have a very pretty name. Joanna. Joanna. Joanna,
would you like to dance?”

“There's no music.”

“Oh, no? | hear music.”

She frowned , listening for the distant sound of the stereo coming from
the house. But she heard nothing. And then...a faint hint of sound, a
whisper. But surely it was in her head, he couldn’t possibly hear it. Could
he?

“Well?”

“All right,” she said.

Folded in his muscular arms, pressed against the warmth of his body,
smelling his rich masculine scent, she heard the music grow louder. It was
a sad, sweet song, one she could swear she'd heard before. But the
recollection dangled just out of reach.

She felt safe with Dean, as if he were a shield against the world. He
seemed like the sort of guy to whom she could tell anything. Anything. So
‘she told him her best secret.

“Drowned your cat, huh?” Her head rested on his shoulder, she couldn't
see his face. She wondered if he was smiling. “That's pretty nasty. Ever
killed a person?”

“No,” she said, giggling. “Have you?”

He didn’t answer.

They continued to dance.

She looked at the sky, a midnight blue blanket dotted with freckles of
white light. A sliver of moon, like a lock of hair on a pillow. She smiled
dreamily.

The song was very quiet now, but powerful, sending a jolt of excitement

through her veins. Her body stirred with passion and emotion but her
thoughts were hazy, clouded.

“You know, Dean—”
Her words were cut off by the fingers squeezing around her throat. She

didn’t scream. The song soothed her, assuring her everything would be all

Making Nalloweern a Treat

Halloween at SUNYA - is it the
craziest holiday at college? Well,
maybe not the craziest, but it sure as
hell runs a close second to St. Patty’s
Day. I mean, come on. It’s damn tough
to beat a holiday that has bar specials
starting at 10AM.

Melissa Cooper

So what’s in store for the Eve of
Hallowed Saints? Candy, costumes
and pumpkins? Goblins ghosts and
ghouls? O.K. - how ‘bout drunks,
freaks, and fools?

Being an experienced halloweener at
SUNYA, I would like to provide you
with some tips and advice learned
from Halloween’s passed.

First off—costumes! Actually, I think
alcohol precedes costumes on the list
of priorities for fun, but I suggest
making your costume before dipping
into the alcohol. Otherwise you might
end up costume-less. After enough
alcohol, you may consider your
birthday suit a plausible costume.

What costumes should you stay
away from? The ghost! Of course this
is one of the easier ones, but what’re
the odds of hooking up in a sheet?
Would you take your chances with
someone wearing a costume in which
you couldn’t even determine his/her
gender? Okay, don’t answer that, I’ve
had some rough nights myself.

And please be wary of any costumes
involving two or more persons;i.e. the

As the yellowness of the eggs
covered my face, I remembered the
Surgeon General's warning that
uncooked eggs are the leading source
of salmonella poisoning, or was it that
smoking causes cancer, I couldn’t
remember. All that went through my
mind was how I didn’t see the car
coming down the street. It should have
been expected on a day like toady. If I
would have paying attention to what
was going on, maybe I wouldn’t have
gotten smashed with that egg.

Jonathon Ostroff

Trying to go home that afternoon, I
had to get to Penn Station, hop on my
train, and say my prayers. As I wiped
the egg yolk off my face, I realized I
wasn’t getting off to a very auspicious
Start.

Crossing 34th Street, going to Penn,
Station, I was waiting at a red light. A
bum--excuse the expression--a
homeless person, asked me for money.
He was a stinky, old man that reeked
of alcohol (dressed in his appropriate
costume, of course). I had little money
on me, and even if I did, I wasn’t going
to give it to this trick-or-treater.

“I'm sorry,” I said, as if to apologize
for something I did wrong. He
responded by sticking his middle
finger in my face, and leaving it there
for the duration of the light. For
around two minutes I had to stare at
his dirty, old finger and watch his eyes
widen with each passing second. As he
Stood there, his face motionless, he
Started drooling profusely. His
frightening image was enough to scare

dice, the six pack, or even the horse.
Why? you ask. For one thing, if you
should happen to lose the other half
of your costume, no one will know
what the hell you are. Unless, of
course you chose to be a horse, in
which you could walk around being a
horse’s ass all night.

Another problem with this costume
is the bathroom.
For girls this
should be no
problem since
vicious rumor
has it that girls
must “go” in
groups. I figure §
since guys don’t
want to even §

quickly walked across the street. ¢
Turning around, he put his finger in ¢
someone else’s face and continued ¢

with his trick-or-treating.

Another person was also dressed up ¢

as a ticket collector on the railroad. He

also asked for something I couldn't ¢

give him, a ticket. To my surprise, he
threatened to throw me off the train if I
didn’t pay the price of a ticket, which
now just increased by two dollars,
since the train was already moving.
After scrounging around in my
pockets, I collected four dollars and

fifty cents. The man dressed as the ¢

ticket collector accepted my money
and went off. His face wasn't as
frightening as the bums--I mean
homeless person--but since he played
the part so good, I forgave him.

I felt so out of place without a
costume on, that I pretended I was a
college student for the rest of the ride
home. It was a character I always
wanted to play on a day like this.
Unfortunately I didn't have my Albany
sweatshirt to complete the costume.

It was a very strange afternoon for a.

drink (or eat) all the goodies! Some
costumes falling into this category
may be a bank robber, a mummy. a
cowboy or the headless horseman
(Don’t ask; a suggestion from my
housemate).

Next on the agenda for Halloween
comes the food factor. Please be

Halloween: the movie was made, and
it’s not a day for little kids to go trick- =

Stressed out, overly health-conscious
people to have an orgy with junk
food. Watch out for those raisins and
apples! Don’t you just hate those
people who give you those? Who the
hell wants to pig out on raisins and
apples?

Finally, let’s discuss the topic of
alcohol. I don’t want anyone to get the
wrong idea - I’m not encouraging
alcoholism. Alcohol shouldn’t be a
key factor to fun but... it is. So, if the
dirty deed must be done, please
proceed with caution. Most
importantly, if you intend to drink
hard alcohol, partake of it before beer.
In case you never learned this little
lesson, take heed: "Beer then liquor,
never been sicker. Liquor then beer,
never fear."

In the process of being merry, if one
should feel the monster o’ sickness
sneaking up, then be sure to leave the
premises. It can be quite an
embarrassment, as well as a mess, to
come face to face with this monster in
front of hundreds of your peers.

In closing, everyone have a blast, go a
crazy and be safe. Remember this is
the day you are entitled to your treats.
Don’t end up like Charlie Brown with

a rock in your bag, or like Linus
awaiting the Great Pumpkin — go out

and get your candy!

We all know

Qd’s Horror Flick Picks

Halloween - If nothing else, John Carpenter's 1977 film is holiday
appropriate. This being one of the first horror movies | ever saw as a
young lad, it has a special place in my heart. Besides, who can resist
watching Michael Myers stalk Jamie Lee Curtis?

it ain't Technicolor, forget it.") Nevertheless, it’s still damn scary. Boris
Karloff plays a great monster (yes, even better than the Managing
Editor).

Dead Ringers - Double your screams with Jeremy Iron’s brilliant
performance as twin gynecologists who share everything, including
drugs and women. David Cronenberg's masterpiece is beautifully-
photographed, unique, and very disturbing.

Hellraiser - Clive Barker proves that a horror writer can make a movie
and not end up with Stephen King’s Maximum Overdrive. When Uncle
Frank solves the mysterious puzzle box, Pinhead and the Cenobites
arrive to give him the ultimate sensory experience. Best line: “No tears,
it's a waste of good suffering.”

The Serpent and the Rainbow - You can’t go wrong with anything that
has Wes Craven's name on it (except maybe Shocker), but this is his
best effort. A Harvard professor goes to Haiti to find a drug which turns
people into zombies. Based on a true story. (Yeah, sure.)

chiller from Michael Mann, creator of Miami Vice. Although Dr. Lecter is

present, the main attraction is FBI agent Will Graham, who has the

rely to enter the psychopathic mind - but can’t always find his wav
ack.

The Exorcist - if you've seen it already, see it again. If you haven't (for
Satan’s sake, why not?!), it deals with the possession of young Regan
MacNeil and the efforts of Father Karras to save her. Forget the lame
sequels and second-rate imitations, this one’s a classic.

Rosemary's Baby - Mia Farrow is mother-to-be Rosemary Woodhouse.
She has it all: a fancy new apartment, a loving husband, helpful
neighbors, and the best doctor in the city. Why does it seem like they'v
all conspired against her? That's because they have.

The Stepfather - This little known film is one of the best thrillers in the

Nuclear Energy is a must

To the Editor:

Imagine enrolling in a course on modern aerospace
engineering at Briarpatch in North Oklahoma and then be
spending the entire semester studying the dynamics of the
Wright Brothers’ Kitty Hawk flight. Then imagine driving
from class to the nearest deli only to discover that a
hitching-post for horse-and buggies stands where the
parking lot should be. Your foremost though at this point
should be, “Doesn’t anyone around here keep up with the
times?” Well, someone looking at the way our nation
currently licenses nuclear power plants would no doubt
have the same question.

Today’s nuclear power plants are licensed under a two-
step system that dates back to the 1950’s when commercial
nuclear power was in its infancy. Under this system, utilities
can break ground and pour concrete before all their
blueprints are finished. After the plant is built, however,
they have to file another application to get the thing running.
But just as bobby-sox and Chuck Berry gave way to
Reeboks and MC Hammer, nuclear power has also changed
and evolved over the years. Modem plants can now be fully
designed before construction ever begins.

Fortunately, licensing reforms have been proposed that
would settle matters before the first shovel of dirt is tossed.
Regrettably, though, only a”no-nukes”movement desperate
to stop nuclear power at all costs stands in the way of this
Progress,

In the zeal to rid the planet of this “dastardly” technology,
environment extremists are thoroughly misrepresenting the
impact of the proposed reforms. Claiming that the reforms
“would completely undermine public participation in the

licensing process,” these concerned (or should we say
“confused”) citizens are spinning tall tales, since nothing
could be further from the truth,

Under the old process, the public had only two chances to
participate —- when the utility requested an operating
license.

Under the new process, though, Joe Sixpack and Mary

House wife have not two, not three, but approval of the
design, site, and construction/operating license, and before
the completed plant is ever allowed to start pumping-out
any juice. As if this isn’t enough, members of the public
would also have the right to raise new safety issues at any
time, even after any of these approvals were granted.
The anti-nuclear crowd is also bold enough to suggest our
own government could do nothing if someone suddenly
realized a completed plant was sitting in quicksand, next to
a volcano, right smack-dab in the middle of a major fault
line. The truth is of course, our federal government would
not only retain the right to change its mind about a plant’s
license but could also slam its gates shut if it was discovered
to be a threat to public health or safety.

As there is more than ample opportunity for every Tom,
Dick, and Harry(and Mary) to have their say in the licensing
process, the issue of public participation is obviously just a
smoke screen for the no-nukers. If they were honest, they
would admit that what they really object to is not an
imagined lack of public participation but rather than nuclear
power itself and the reality that a new nuclear plant might
actually get built. They know these reforms are critically
needed if nuclear energy is going to help power our nation
into the next century. But these nay-sayers and their
accomplices who insist on blowing smoke seem determined
to keep America at the hitching-post.

Students: Teach yourselves

To the Editor:

There has been a lot of talk recently about alcohol abuse
on college campuses.

Television networks, newspapers, magazines, social
researchers, college administrators, alumni
associations—they have all engaged the issue.

But until these various parties involve students in the
discussion, until they include students in the solution
process to the problem—they are doing little more than
exchanging hot air.

In my 25 years as an educator, I have found no lesson
more basic than this one: Students must ultimately teach
themselves. We can give them the tools of learning, but they
must teach and learn.

During National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness
Week(NCAAW), an annual event held on more than 3,00
campuses nationwide, we challenge students and faculty to
apply the foundation of all education (that is self-education)
to the subject of drinking—moving beyond rhetoric to
action. During this year’s NCAAW, October 13-19, students
will act on the subject of drinking— teaching themselves
the difference between alcohol abuse and responsible
drinking. This goal will be pursued through a number of
educational activities, patterned after the events and themes
conducted by their peers since the inception of NCAAW in
1984.

Last year, for instance, students at the University of
Richmond in Virginia learned how to P.A.R.T.Y.(promote
Alcohol Responsibility Through You)—-attending
seminars, watching movies and participating in activities
that demonstrated the effects of alcohol abuse, including
drunk driving.

At Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas,
students, faculty and staff built “the Wall”— comprised of
single bricks on which the different participants inscribed
their experiences with abuse.

At Illinois State University in Bloomington, Illinois,
students learned how to “Let the good Times Roll without
Abuse”, promoting this contemporary theme through
campus newspapers, buttons, flyers, the ISU stadium
message board and the marquees of local business,

And at the University of Fairbanks in Alaska, Students
participated in 40 different programs, including a “Family
Feud” competition with questions on alcohol and drinking.

These efforts were successful because innovative,
creative strategies were coupled with the vigor and
persistence of students helping students. And despite the
diversity of both the events and the students—-three
important messages common to all of these efforts.

First, these students taught themselves how about respect
for the law— about not drinking before decisions, good or
‘bad— and that their success in school and life depends on
the right decisions. :

Finally, students who participated in NCAAW taught

themselves to respect their peers—- to celebrate true
friendship. They learned that friends drive drunk if they are
underage; and that friends don’t ;et friends drive drunk.

As an educator, I am proud to see today’s college students
take an active role in their education—particularly their
education about alcohol.

During this year’s NCAAW, we expect to hear who
endlessly debate the issue, to cease their conversation, and
join students in real actions to address a real problem.

It’s not LGBA

To the Editor:

LGBA would like to inform the student body that an
unknown female has been making harrassing phone calls in
our name. LGBA would like to announce that we are not
making phone calls which ask questions about the
orientation and/or sexual habits of anyone on this campus.
So far, all cases reported have been from men living on the
Uptown campus. The calls have been made by a female
who is using the name Mrs. Anderson, as well as an
off-campus phone number. We ask that any phone calls
fitting this profile be reported both to UPD and LGBA, as
we are conducting our own investigation into this matter.
Our phone number is 442-5672, and our office is CC 333.
Office hours are posted on the door.

Homelessness is scary

To the Editor:

Tuesday, October 22. An issue of the ASP. Page
6-gloomy. Depressing. I could finally see, and feel, and
touch, even smell what the future has in store for us, the
college professors of tomorrow. I made the choice of
becoming a teacher. No one imposed it on me. And when I
did, I knew it was not a lucrative profession (meaning-a
Lamborghini-mansions—domestic service-and so on). But
HOMELESSNESS?

Only three years ago, someone I know, went out to the
job market world with a B.A., an M.A., and almost a Ph.D.
(Everything but the thesis.) The winner: Comell University.
The fourth runner up: the recently graduated student with
teaching experience—$18,000 a year. Ouch! As a TA,
(well, as a student) I have come to realize that I am a pretty
stoic human being that can live without a great deal of
luxuries: a nine inch B/W TV set, a flip chair and a single
cassette player. Then again, as a product of a society based
on consumerism, I find it difficult to accept that after
spending x number of years working toward a doctorate, all
I can hope for is the same bare essentials I now possess. It
was never among my goals to be rich (unless I get lucky
playing the Lotto or win in a sweepstakes.) Now I just
wonder if my efforts of today, now, here, will amount to
anything I can depend on in the future. I know no one plans
to become homeless. I certainly do not. But it is very scary.
It’s not just that article. It’s not just the jokes of “Married
with Children” and “In Living Color.” Out there, after
midnight, walk with your eyes all wide open towards
downtown Albany, or down the streets of New York City, or
just any big city... What really gives me the creeps is that
time bomb.

Lets take a closer look: When

the partition plan was approved
in 1947, the Jews accepted it
and the Arabs were opposed to
it. The Jews did hope to co-exist
with them, but it was the Arabs
who rioted immediately,and it
was also they who attacked the
Jews in 1948 beginning the War
of Independence. It was a result
of this war that 750,000
Palestinians left Israel, upon the
encouragement.of their Arab
brothers.

Humphery and Rosamond
make a mention of “the
Palestinian Intifada” is only the
most recent name for the
Palestinian rioting. It has existed
since well before Israel became
@ State, as can be attested by the
Tioting which occurred in 1920,
1921, 1928-1929, 1936-1939,
and 1947.

Humphery and Rosamond
wrote “(the Infada) is a genuine
struggle for self determination
which will not be written off.”
But I find it quite ironic that it
was their Arab brothers who
first wrote them off. In 1947-48
the surounding Arab nations
told the Palestinians to
leavetheir homes while they
“pushed the Jews into the sea,”
and to return afterwords. Too
bad Israel won the war and the
Arab nations could not follow

what did they do? They denied

late start this season because of
some financial difficulties. Last
May, state budget problems
forced SUNY Albany to provide
the club with less funding. As a
result, crew had difficulty

solved when the University
agreed to cover the insurance
expense.

director for SA, explained
Ferraro’s frequent campaign—
related statements as resulting
from the conceptual discretion
given to Ferraro, as well as her
questioners.

“When we first started
programming, we thought it
would be educational issues in
the 90s. But we wanted to give
her and the questioners some
more leeway because, face it,
we're bringing in a former vice
presidential nominee.”

An Associated Press (AP)
release later in the day quote
Ferraro—while on the campaign
trail—as using many of the same
political catch-phrases as she
had used at SUNYA.

Bill Weitz, SA president,
responded candidly to these
developments. “Politicians will
be politicians.... Was it her
intent to campaign? Probably.
Was it our (SA’s) intent to have
her campaign? No.”

SA Media Director Tye
Bourbony displayed similar
candor on the issue. “She had
me hooked for a while, but a
politician’s true colors come
through.... [The lecture] was
mostly about the

campaign...how many college
campuses do you think she’ll
visit before she’s elected,” he
asked.

“T just think it was part of her
campaign tour. I saw more
campaign than concern.”

Ferraro called Bush’s War on
Drugs a “failure” and set forth
education as a means of beating
the problem.

“Putting drug lords in jail is
not the sole answer...just look in
any hospital and see the number
of crack babies... It’s more than
‘Just Say No.’,” she said.

The audience, which,
according to Ali, numbered

between five and six hundred,
was receptive to Ferraro,
sending up so many questioners
the speaker herself had to limit
the number.

receiving financial assistance
from New York State through a
“revolutionary program” called
the AIDS Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP), which
provides free medication for the
treatment of the HIV infection
and AIDS for those who meet
the program’s requirements.

According to the elder Nicols,
New York is currently one of the
only states to offer free financial
assistance to AIDS victims.
Because of this, thousands
cannot afford the expensive
medicine, Nicols said. “The four
billion percent markup is
ridiculous.”

Despite their attempts to
educate the public, Nicols said
he is constantly confronted with
fear and discrimination. He
recalled a recent speech he gave.
When the speaker following him
arrived at the podium, she
refused to speak unless the
microphone was changed, for
fear of catching AIDS from the
residual saliva on the

microphone,

Nicols was asked about
mandatory AIDS testing of
health workers. “We are opposed
to mandatory testing...not only
because it will cost millions of
dollars (to constantly test health
care workers), but it will lead to
‘medical abandonment,’ where
doctors will refuse to treat HIV
patients” because it would place
their careers and practices in
Jeopardy.

“As long as there is still fear
and discrimination, there is no
way you can force people to be
tested,” Nicols said.

Ultimate frisbee second in Regionals

By Andrew Schotz
SPORTS EDITOR

At the Regional Club
Championships at Dartmouth
College, the “SCAM”
Albany’s ultimate frisbee club -
made it to the finals before
losing to the Boston College
Spoonheads, 19-8, according to
team member Chris Turner.

Ultimate frisbee, said team
captain Ed Mitchell, is played
on a field with end zones,
similar to a football field. Each
team is made up of seven
players, who try to cross the
opponent’s goal line by passing
to each other as they move up
the field. Passes can be made in
any direction, but when a catch
is made, a player must stop
where he catches it. There is no
running with the frisbee.

At Dartmouth on Saturday,
the SCAM began by coming
back from a 12-14 deficit to
defeat New Hampshire, 16-14

Albany then defeated the
Providence Chowerheads to
move to the quarterfinal round
the next day.

In a long game, SUNY
Binghamton lost to the SCAM,
12-16.

Next for Albany was “Moo-
jah,” an experienced club team.
The SCAM was victorious, 17-
12.

With the Regional title on the
line, Boston College, who
played in the National
Championship tournament in the
spring, shut Albany down.

:

442-3010

The team only lost two
matches against college teams
(Harvard, Boston College),
Turner said.

“Ultimate is a great sport,”
Mitchell said. “There is a
stronger honor code. We call our
own fouls and try to avoid

On November 2 and 3, Albany

Skid hits five for Lady Danes

By Scott Breier

STAFF WRITER

Despite a valiant effort, the women’s soccer team fell to the|
Lady Warriors of Hartwick College, 1-0, on Thursday. The loss|
was the fifth in a row the Lady Danes (3-8-2).

A bang-bang play at 2:09 of the first half resulted on the only|
goal of the game, as Laura Snow put a loose ball into the net.|
Albany goalkeeper Monica Harlow had made a save, but couldn’
control the rebound.

Hartwick (9-5-1) was supposed to have posed a much bigger
threat to the Lady Danes, but a good defense and strong)
goaltending kept Albany in contention throughout the whole game.
The Lady Danes almost tied the game with 30 minutes
remaining. Albany’s Nancy’s Nicolich and Hartwick goalie}
[Melanie Mumbulo raced for a loose ball. They met at the same}
time and collided, with Mumbulo stopping a shot with her chest.

If not for the strong goaltending by Harlow, Albany could have|
leasily been down by a few goals. “The Albany goalkeeper played|
real well,” said Hartwick coach Ken Kutler. I thought we could]
have scored more, but we put a lot of shots over the net. The wind}
had a lot to do with the way the game was played.”

Kutler was very impressed with Albany. “They were a tough]
team that wouldn’t give up,” he said.

A season-long pattern continued, as Albany was outshot, 12-6,
Harlow made four saves for Albany and Mumbulo stopped two.
Albany coach Ann Depperman was proud of her team’s play.
We didn’t expect to keep up with this team, but this was one of|
ithe only games we've played all year that everyone played well,”
said a smiling Depperman. “It showed how good this team can be.”
The Lady Danes will play host to Plattsburgh on Saturday at]
2:30.

Baker's shutout
keeps Danes

unbeaten in nine

By Andrew Schotz
SPORTS EDITOR

Albany needed nearly 80
minutes to shake off a pesky
Siena squad before triumphing
2-0 in men’s soccer on Tuesday.
Goalie Mike Baker recorded his
fifth shutout of the season.

“This one’s special”, said
Baker, the team’s only senior.
“It’s my last game here.”

The Saints (5-8) allowed the
Great Danes (7-3-2), who are
unbeaten in their last nine
games, more than enough
Opportunities in the early going,
but it was Siena who nearly
broke on top.

In the fourth minute, Siena
forward Steve Haggerty
unleashed a booming direct kick
from the left that nearly made a
dent in Albany’s crossbar, before
bounding away.

Eleven minutes later, another
Haggerty direct was dangerously
close but high.

The Danes' only seriously
threat came in the 19th minute

in on goal. His dribble eluded
him, however, and Siena goalie
Brett Boskiewicz raced out to left

safely snatch the ball.
Finally, with only 13 minutes

when forward Joe DiBella broke Steve Haggerty (19 dark) didn't score, but Jeff Bowman (2 white) did.

midfielder George Philippou,
who was in street clothes at the
Start of the game, lofted a corner

in the second half,

kick into the Saints’ penalty box.
The ball was batted out to
Albany sweeper Mike Avallone.
Avallone tipped a pass to
midfielder Andy Nadboy, who
tapped the ball inside the left
post for a 1-0 Great Dane lead.

Siena nearly answered with
under eight minutes remaining.
The everpresent Haggerty
smacked a cross toward the head
of midfielder Chris Gilbert, who
was coming in diagonally from
the left. Baker arrived a spilt-
second before Gilbert, though, to
make a difficult save.

Insurance for the Danes came
when midfielder Jeff Bowman
got a foot on a rebound with
7:24 to go. Forward Paul
Feeney’s point-blank shot was
stopped acrobatically by
Boskiewicz, but Bowman was in
the right place to earn Albany its
second goal and a bit of
breathing space.

Siena’s final scoring attempt
was thwarted by a solid
defensive stop by back Kevin
Colby, on Saints midfielder
David Nusspickle.

Since Albany’s offense has
only scored more than two goals
in a game once, it is clearly the
defense that has made a
difference during the unbeaten
streak. if

“The first three games: of the
season (all losses), we had to

learn a lot,” said any, coach
Roy Pfeil. “Now we’re a lot
more consistent. Not high, not
low, just consistent.”

“We're playing the same game
as before, but our marking is a
lot better,” Baker said.

One defensive strategy of note
against Siena paid off for Pfeil.
Early in the first half, he had
back Gary Safran-stick with
Haggerty one-on-one. After his
early direct kicl.s, Haggerty's
offensive contributions were
stifled.

With only two games
remaining, it isn’t too early for
the Danes to think about the
playoffs.

Two automatic bids for the
NCAA tournament East regional
will come from the SUNYAC
and Empire conferences, Pfeil
said. A third could come if the
University of Rochester wins its
league. That would leave only
one at-large spot with many
teams fighting for it, including
Albany, which is as independent.

The ECAC tournament is also
a possibility if Albany turns in a
good showing in its final two
games, at Binghamton tomorrow
and at Cortland next Friday.

Last year, Albany defeated
Elmira 4-3 in the first round of
the ECAC playoffs, and lost in
the second round at Elmira 1-0
in penalty kicks.

Upstate Tournament is next for rugby club

By Ari Kampel
STAFF WRITER

With a 20-4 victory over Hamilton on
Saturday, the Albany State Rugby Club
advanced to the Upstate Tournament. The
Danes, who compiled their sixth
consecutive victory, have yet to lose this
season.

Albany shut out Hamilton just two
weeks ago, 23-0.

This game had more meaning,
however, as the winner advanced to the
semifinals, and the loser packed its bags
for the season.

Albany started out strong, scoring two
tries in the first 10 minutes of the game.
The Danes began to play lethargic after
that, and conditions changed for the
worse - it became very windy.

However, the Danes' defense prevailed,
and in the second half, Albany scored two
more tries to put the game away.

Two of the tries were scored by
fullback Rob “Bass” Dapaah, who is
having a great season. The other two tries
were scored by Co-captain “Hurricane”
Bobby Higgins, who played despite an
injured thumb, and Pete “Wrong Way”
Duggan, a wing, who has been scoring
frequently as of late. Dan “Big Foot”
James was two of four on penalty kicks
and added four points.

The Danes welcomed back fly half
John “Ducky” Corson, who had missed
the previous three games with a separated

shoulder,

This was the third consecutive game
Albany did not allow an opposing player
to cross the try line,

The win enabled the Danes to advance
to the semifinals in Schenectady on
Saturday. Their opponent will be
undefeated Oswego, who the Danes lost
to a year ago. The game will be played at
Central Park and starts at 1:30. The
tournament is usually held in Buffalo.

If Albany wins, it will oppose the
winner of Cortland vs. Canisius. Last
semester, Albany defeated Cortland for

the first time before Canisius knocked the
Danes out of the tournament. The losers
will play a consolation game on Sunday.

In its quest for its first ever Upstate
Championship, Albany will have to
Overcome some injuries. In Saturday’s
game, wing forward Frank “Goomba”
Gattuso, Chris “Chili” Davis, President
Pete “Big Gut” Ragon, Jeff “Choke”
Roberts, and Adam “Dough Boy” Baker
were all hurt.

The Band C sides will be playing in the
Seven’s tournament on Saturday, also at

Two of rugby's six wins this year have come against Hamition.
