UCB faces spring inactivity

By Jennifer McCormick
NEWS EDITOR

The status of University Concert Board (UCB)
for next semester is pending Student Association
approval this weekend.

UCB has lost its entire expenditure allowance for
the year, ‘‘about $50,000,” according to SA Vice
President Steve Harrison.

SA Controller Rob Kaplan explained to Central
Council Wednesday that UCB ‘‘lost their whole ap-
propriation and then some.”’

Although SA President Matt Doddo told UCB
President Allen Weinberg, Thursday that UCB was
effectively defunct, he took back the decision to
discuss the matter with other SA officials over the
weekend.

Doddo will decide by Monday whether to grant
UCB more money for concerts next semester.

Weinberg said, however, that “‘there’s a lot
more’? to the issue than merely overspending the
budget. The INXS concert early this fall, booked by
last year’s UCB president, Larry Fox, had been
booked so much in advance that talent alone cost

The milder will stay around for
today, with gradual clearing and
highs reaching the mid 40s.

$26,500, according to Weinburg, “‘more than
anyone else on the East Coast.”

“T was stuck with it,” Weinburg said. “‘I’ve had
gripes with the executive branch all semester. This
year, SA executives hold all the cards.”

Doddo said he is taking into consideration that
INXS cost UCB $20,000 and the firm offer had
been extended by Fox, not Weinburg.

However, Doddo stressed the importance of SA
groups not overspending their budgets. “It’s a
group, not like an office, where you can be more
flexible.””

Weinburg protested Doddo’s decision to deter-
mine UCB’s fate. ‘“‘I feel like too much is up to the
discretion of executives,’ he said. ‘I’m not sure
whether we’ll be treated fairly.”’

Concern was raised over the handling of
ASUBAfest, were UCB to become defunct, but
Doddo explained that because ASUBAfest has its
own budget line this year, separate from UCB’s, the
SA Programming office would most likely organize
the event, working with ASUBAfest’s $30,000

Looking for a downtown park-
ing spot after a big snowstorm
may become harder with the im-
plementation of new parking
regulations for snow removal.

According to Public Works
Commissioner Michail Albero, in
the event of a major snowstorm,
the mayor may declare a ‘‘special
snow emergency.’’

This emergency will last for a
48-hour period and will be im-
plemented at either 8 a.m. or 8
p.m. the day of the snowstorm,
acording to Albero.

The regulations work on a
48-hour period, according to
Albero. For the first 24 hours,
“no parking will be allowed on
the odd sides of the streets in the
city,”’ Albero said to allow clean-
ing of one side.

“For the second 24 hours,.
setae

parking will switch to the odd
side,” and the city will clean the
even side, Albero continued.

After the 48 hours, “‘the
emergency will officially be
declared over,”” Albero said.

“‘Not every snowstorm will be a
snow emergency,’’ Albero said,
adding that an accumlation of six
or more inches would probably
constitute a snow emergency.

After the snowfall, Albero said
the city’s aim will be to ‘‘clear not
only driving lanes, but also the
parking lanes,”’ in order that (the
snow) ‘‘gets depleted
substantially.’”

Albero continued, ‘‘We cer-
tainly couldn’t plow if everyone’s
in the way.”

Area radio and television sta-
tions will be notified “‘well in ad-
vance’ of the time that the
regulations will be put into effect,
Albero said to alert the public.

SASU demonstrates
against tuition hike

By Howard Fox
STAFF WRITER

A press conference discussing
the future of tuition hikes in
SUNY was held by the Student
Association of the State Universi-
ty (SASU) Wednesday morning at
the State Capital.

President of SASU, Francisco
Duarte, said ‘... the current
demographic charges in New
York State, a drain in technology,
and the corresponding demand
for a highly skilled work force,
and the great number of people
living in poverty are definite in-
dications that public education
should be made as readily accessi-
ble as possible.’”

SASU was calling upon the
Governor, the State Legislature
and the SUNY Board of Trustees
for a tuition freeze.

SASU Communications Direc-
tor, Steve Segore said SASU
would not accept ‘‘even a limited
hike; a small increase could have
an effect on enrollment.’’

“We strive for access to higher
education. Every time tuition is
raised the accessibility
idecreases],”’ said SUNYA SASU
delegate Flip Posner.

According to Segore, there is a
request to increase the education
budget by 11.4 percent. ‘‘This
shouldn’t be taken out on
students. A tax increase or a more
equitable distribution of funds [is
a solution].””

Segore said the press con-
ference was held outside ‘‘because
of the tuition freeze. It was sup-
posed to be cold.’’

Segore admits that there is no
tuition hike request in the new
budget proposal. SASU wants to
ensure no request for a_ hike
develops by ‘‘keeping pressure on
the Governor and Legislature.”’

Posner said the SUNYA
chapter of SASU did not par-
ticipate because they ‘‘didn’t have
prior notice to work on it. He ad-

The plan is based for snow
removal in 48 hours. ‘“We’ll clean
the whole city in 48 hours,’
Albero explained.

For those that do not follow
the regulations, a $25 ticket will
be issued, plus towing charges.
“It’s a $100 plan if people choose
not to comply,” Albero added.

Area universities are requested
that, during such snow emergen-
cies, students use public transpor-
tation and leave their vehicles on
campus, Albero said. ‘‘Students
have the ability to leave their cars
elsewhere,’’ he continued,
whereas Albany residents will be
unable to find a place to park.

Although an inconvenience,
Albero said that this emergency
will probably only go into effect
six to eight times a year.

The university will also be im-
plementing its own parking
regulations. With these regula-

ded that ‘‘if our chapter works at
hard enough it [SASU’s cam-
paign] will be effective . . . if we
do it right.””

Because there ‘must be mat-
ching funds between the SUNY
Board of Trustees and the govern-
ment . . . and the aid must come
from somewhere,’’ SASU
suspects a tuition hike, explained
Segore.

SASU held the press con-
ference now because next
semester there will be a budget
debate. The conference is the
start of ‘‘a provocative campaign
to set in motion... to ensure
that a request [for the tuition
hike] is denied,’’ Segore said.

A raise in tuition ‘‘will make it
more expensive for people to go
to college,’” Posner said. ‘‘We’ll
have a nation full of idiots... who
will run the country? Rich people
running it is not a democracy.”

According to Segore, SASU is
sponsoring an ongoing-letter-
writing and postcard campaign
that supports a tuition freeze, It
also plans to do ‘‘tabling’’ at
SUNY campuses.

Segore said ‘‘There will be lob-
bying days in the upcoming
semester against the budget.’’ On
Feb. 8, SASU is planning to lobby
and have a state rally on tuition.

given the same authority as any

Jim Williams, Director of Public
Safety.

After a major snowstorm,
Williams said O’Leary will
declare a state of emergency.
Signs will then be posted telling
students when to move their cars
from a certain spot.

Students who don’t comply
with these rules will find their cars
towed, Williams said.

“Tf I have a few cars that don’t

In the event that students are

Junta takes over

Port-au-Prince, Haiti
(AP) Leading candidates from last
month’s aborted presidential election said
they would not participate in the junta’s
plans to appoint a new Electoral Council
today and hold a new election next month.

Three candidates vowed Wednesday to
boycott'a new election. A fourth presiden-
tial ‘candidate’ was expected to’ join the
others in calling the junta’s actions illegal.

The military dominated government on
Wednesday said it will name a new Elec-
toral Council today, swear it in on Satur-
day, publish new election rules on Dec. 18
and hold a new election on Jan. 17.

The Jan 17 election date would
presumable allow the junta to honor its
pledge to turn power over on Feb. 7, 1988
to a newly elected president and National
Assembly. The junta has been in power
since Jean-Claude Duvalier fled to exile
Feb. 7,° 1986, ending» a°-30-year family

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Senate leaders said Thursday there’s

West disputes.

need to keep our guard up but do our best
to improve relations,” said Senate Majori-

“I think we need to see Mr. Gorbachev
do something,’’ said Senate Republican
Leader Robert Dole of Kansas.

Contras divide House

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The House won’t let the Reagan ad-
ministration turn to other nations foir aid
to the Nicaraguan Contra rebels if Con-
gress bans direct U.S. military help.

The Democratic-run chamber split
generally along party lines Wednesday as it
approved the ban by a 215-200 vote,
despite complaints by administration sup-
porters that the restriction is an un-
constitutional limit on a president’s power
to make foreign policy.

During last summer’s congressional
hearings into the secret sale of U.S.

weapons to Iran and the diversion of pro-
fits to the Nicaraguan contras, there was
testimony that the Reagan administration
sought military aid for the rebels from a
number of other nations after Congress
ordered a halt to direct U.S. military help.

Money was sought from Brunei, South
Korea and Saudi Arabia, legislators on
both sides noted during Wednesdays
debate. Supporters legislators on both
sides noted during Wednesday’s debate.
Supporters of the “third-country” ban
said the money was offered because those
nations were solicited by the United States.
Opponents said the countries simply
believed in the Contra cause.

Bush’s presence at the embassy and his
decision to invite prominent residents of
Towa and New Hampshire to the breakfast
produced cries of foul from some of his
Tivals for the 1988 Republican presidential
nomination, who said he was using the
summit to further his political ambitions.

Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kan.) said it was
“blatantly political’’ for Bush to invite his
New Hampshire campaign chairman and
two Iowans to sit down with Gorbachev.
Both states provice critical, early tests in
the presidential battle.

Bush is the only GOP contender to en-
dorse the arms control treaty that Reagan
and Gorbachev signed on Tuesday.

The Stete

Wife sentenced

Syracuse
(AP) A woman who twice helped her
convicted-rapist husband escape from
county jails has been sentenced to five
years in federal prison on a charge of ac-
cessory to rape after the fact.

Sgt. Deborah Leacock, 26, of Rome,
was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Neal
P. McCurn for her role in helping her hus-
band, Garnett R. Leacock, escape from
the Montgomery county Jail in August. He
remains at large.

Leacock, 39, was convicted of raping a
16-year-old Oneida County girl at his
family apartment on Griffis Air Force
Base while his wife was stationed there.

Sgt. Leacock said she regretted her in-
volvement with her husband’s escapes.

“My husband was a very strong minded
person. I’m sorry for everything that’s
happened,” she said.

Slander charge upheld

Albany
(AP) A state appeals court Thrusday let
stand a defamation charge against a male
police officer who took part in an incident
involving a female colleague and a blow-
up sex doll.

Stevens, another fellow city patrolman
and a Chenango County deputy sheriff
dressed the sex doll in police clothing and
posted a note saying the doll was wanted
for impersonating city police officer
Sheree Carpenter, the Appellate Division
said.

Deputy Sheriff Michael Meyers then
photographed the doll and the sign, in the
drpartment squad room with a department
camera, and posted the photographs and
the note on the department bulletin board,
the court said.

The Appellate Division said the life-size
doll, which the officers referred to as
“Sheree,”” was photographed in ‘“‘various
lewd Positions with a blackjack and dress-
ed in Stevens’ police jacket’” which Stevens
apparently placed in such a way as to hide
his badge from the camera.

Menorah lighting

Chanukah, the Jewish festival of
lights, begins Tuesday evening at sun-
down, and is a time of celebration and
togetherness when the traditional lighting
of the menorah takes place. Keeping this
jin mind, the Jewish Students Coalition
will sponsor a menorah lighting in the
Dutch dining room that night.

“This is the first time we’ve ever done
ithis,’? said Mindy Miner, president of
JSC. ‘People are away from their
families, and we thought it would be nice
if the Jewish community could all do this
together instead of alone in their
rooms.’”

Although Chanukah has always been
considered equivalent to Christmas, it in
fact has little religious signifigance for
Jews, and is chiefly a celebration of fami-
ly and life, Miner said.

The lightings will begin every evening
at 5:30 lasting through the eight days of
the celebration. Everyone who wishes to
attend is invited.

Excellence awards

President O’Leary, in a recent

Deadlines for nominations are Dec.18.

The Excellence Awards are given in six
categories:excellence in teaching and ad-
vising, academic service, research,
librarianship, professial service and in
support services.

Each of the categories has its own
specific requirements, though all
nominees must have a record of con-
tinuous fulltime service at SUNYA for a
minimum of two years prior to the fall of
1987. The awards compromise $300 and
suitable recognition.

Any member of the campus communi-
ty wishing to make a nomination can sub-
mit theirs to AD201 for the awards in
teaching and advising, and for academic
service, to AD277, UL123, AD231,
and AD326, for those in research,
librarianship, professional services, and
support services, respectively.

Motion made to impeach Posner

By Jennifer McCormick
NEWS EDITOR

A motion to remove Central Council
Vice Chair Flip Posner was debated for 45
minutes at Wednesday’s meeting before
being withdrawn by its sponsor, and was
followed by one representative’s
resignation.

Charging Posner with ‘unacceptable
lbehavior and imaturity” in his leadership
position, Dutch Quad Representative Jeff
Flynn made the motion for removal, which
Posner himself seconded.

The ensuing debate centered around
detailing instances of. ‘‘unacceptable”’
behavior and Posner’s explanation for
each incident.

Following the meeting, several members

criticized the body in general for its pet-
tiness and tendency to bring personal dif-
ferences into play; three members wrote
letters of resignation, although two were
subsequently destroyed.

Off-campus representative Hillary Brot-
man resigned during the meeting, critical
of how council operates. ‘I can’t deal with
the bullshit,’’ she said. ‘‘Everyone’s kiss-
ing ass, basically. They all have
aspirations.’’

“They’re cutting each other’s throats.
There’s a bunch of them all out for the
same thing, and their noses are getting
browned,” Brotman said.

Central Council has been under new
leadership the last few weeks, having voted
off-campus representative Phil Botwinik

as chair following Sara Meyer’s stepping
down.

Many Student Association officials in
both the executive and legislative branches
have criticized this year’s council for its
unprofessionalness, and the Wednesday’s
motion to remove Posner is an extension
of that, according to Flynn.

“Council is not respected by the ex-
ecutive branch,”’ Flynn said. ‘‘How can we
get respect with leadership like [Posner]?
Time and time again, he has disgraced
Central Council.’’

Flynn later rescinded the motion
because of ‘‘the sole fact that people on
Council didn’t want to hear it then,”” being

Kennedy illustrated the point by reading a paragraph from his

novel, and explaining that what is rational literally, may not
translate into a rational movie scene. He added that ghosts, fan-
tasies, and illusionary sights and sounds work in this film.

“I don’t expect a full translation of the novel,’’ Kennedy said.
“‘When a writer undertakes the writing of a script from a novel of
his own it is a tantamount to self amputative surgery.’’ Kennedy

Jawyer had ever seen.

The film began shooting in Albany on Feb. 23 and ended June
6. “The movie people moved in . . . and a trolley came back to
Lark Street on a block where it had never run,’ Kennedy said.

About 1,500 locals were hired as extras who would, according to
Kennedy, sometimes refer to themselves as ‘‘Weedies”. Kennedy

Crew team rowing for the record

By Christine Elliott
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The last time the crew team was heard
from they were rowing Saratoga Lake.
Now they’re rowing the SUNYA Lecture
Center. They’ve been in front of the LC 4
rowing on a Concept II indoor machine
with plans to beat the record of 86 straight
hours by 10 additional hours.

The ‘‘row-a-thon’”? was the idea of
Coach Mike Davenport, who had been at
Florida Institute of Technology when the
woman’s crew team had their own row-a-
thon on the water, going for mileage in-
stead of time.

About two weeks before Thanksgiving
break, Davenport came up with the idea.
Because of the weather, the event was held
indoors.

“We did this to raise funds, but even
more importantly, for the public relations.
There are a lot of students who didn’t even
know Albany had a crew team before this,
’’ Davenport said.

Each of the crew’s 80 members have
signed up for at least one half-hour time
slot. ‘‘A lot of the first-year rowers, as well
as varsity, are into it,”’said crew member
Mike Meyers, while rowing one of his time
periods. ‘‘Everybody’s really
enthusiastic.”

“With all the finals, its hard to tell peo-
ple to be at practice between 6 and 8 a.m.
each day. With this people can practice
because they’re picking their times,’” said

Coach Davenport also said that com-
pared to regular practice, the marathon is
realatively easy to the crew members. They

The crew sent letters to various TV and
radio stations, but as of yet, they’ve gotten
no coverage. They did, however, get

Committee to address AIDS education at SUNYA

By Bryan Sierra
‘STAFF WRITER

Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome(AIDS) has not only
become one of the greatest health
risks of the ’80’s but also an ex-
plosive controversial issue that re-
quires constant research and

. education to prevent panic from
spreading.

This need for research and
education is the reason for a con-
ference being held on the topics
of AIDS at the Albany Hilton
Dec 10 and 11. The conference,
directed mainly towards profes-
sionals such as physicians and
psychologist, is being sponsered
by the AIDS Council of North
Eastern New York (ACNENY),

Albany Medical Center, and
Russell Sage College.
A brochure explaining the

event calls this ‘‘the largest con-
ference on AIDS ever held in this
region,” and that the capital
region will benefit from a con-
ference featuring some of the

most respected professionals
working on the AIDS crisis
today.’’

While the Capital District -may.
‘benefit ~ greatly’ fromp ‘this: ¢on-
ferénéey'a ‘group df-students,

faculty, and medical profes-
sionals at SUNYA have formed a
committee to look into the AIDS
crisis and how it affects the
University.

The group, known as the
SUNYA AIDS Advisory Com-
mittee is headed by Neil Brown,
the associate vice president for
Health and Counseling Services.
The Advisor Group’s purpose is
to assist the Associate Vice Presi-
dent in the ‘‘development and
dissemination of the education
program”? regarding AIDS.

The official policy is outlined in
a memo ‘‘Campus Policy on
AIDS,” and states that the of-
ficial University AIDS policy
focuses on education and a flexi-
ble, confidential evaluation of
each individual case. The memo
also states that as more informa-
tion is discovered is discovered
about the disease, the University’s
policy will change.

According to Joseph Norton, a
member of ACNENY and

Among these are the communities
Tesponse to AIDS, mothers who

AIDS.

While some members of
SUNYA’s committee are atten-
ding the conference on AIDS be-
ing held downtown, one member
named to the committee wanted
nothing to do with it.

David Vesely, a member of the
Gay and Lesbian Aliance, was
chosen to participate in the com-
mittee. He said he is tefusing to
participate because he is disap-
pointed by what the committee,
and the University’s policy in
general, is not doing: concen-
trating on promoting the preven-
tion of the spread of AIDS.

Vesely added that the Universi-
ty is shying away from promoting
safe sex. “‘Their primary concern
should be to prevent the students
from contracting AIDS,’’ Vesely
said.

There is no indicator yet of how
the conference will affect the
workings of the committee or the
Universiy’s policy regarding
AIDS. oO

Judgment deferred on Peace Project hearing

Fundamental issue may be under
auspices of SUNY Central policy

By Eric Lehrfeld
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The hearing of three Peace Project
members accused of disrupting Career Day
was postponed Tuesday after Peace Pro-
ject presented information stating the
University may not have jurisdicition over
this case.

A set of SUNY ordinances, the 1969
Maintenance of Public Order, raised ques-
tions as to the legality of the student-and-
faculty committee ruling on this particular
case.

The committee adjourned indefinitely to
review the matter, according to an in-
dependent observer attending the session.

Three of the original five students accus-
ed, Dave Anshen, Tom Gaveglia, and Nick
Schneir all appeared at the hearing.
Charges against two others, Kathy Manley
and Amy Abdou, were dropped shortly
before the trial because of insufficient
evidence, according to Sophmore Andrew
Greenblatt, an independent observer.

Business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi re-
quested the hearing and was represented
by Risa Resnick and Peter Liaskos,
Greenblatt said.

At the request of Delta Sigma Pi, the
hearing was closed. However, this decision

drew protest from members of Peace
Project.

Permission was given to hold a
demonstration to display these objections,
prohibiting protesters to enter the
building, and amplification devices, accor-
ding to Senior Stuart Minkowitz, a Cam-
pus Center building supervisor called as a
witness for the Delta Sigma Pi.

Shortly after the hearing began, about
50 protesters, set up a sit-in type
demonstration in the Administration
Building Lobby, according to Greenblatt.

Because the hearing was not a trial, legal
representation was denied and charges
were heard by a board of student conduct,
according to Gaveglia.

Delta Sigma Pi claimed at the hearing
that Peace Projects presence at Career Day
was disruptive and damaging to the event,
Minkowitz said.

Peace Project, who only had permission
to protest in the lobby outside of the
Ballroom (where Career Day was set up),
allegedly enterd the Ballroom and began to
berate and abuse the CIA recruiter verbal-
ly, Minkowitz said. According to Delta
Sigma Pi, this disrupted the event and the
students charged were chiefly responsible.

Witnesses were also called from both

sides Minkowitz said, on duty at the time
of the incident, was a witness for Delta
Sigma Pi, and testified he saw one of the
protesters acting in a disruptive manner.

“He was yelling and screaming his
points of view, and I saw him take some
papers off a table and throw them on the
floor,’’ Minkowitz said in a later inter-
view. ‘‘When asked to leave, according to
him, the protesters wouldn’t.””

Greenblatt said “the defense conducted
their cross examination in an excellent and
dignified manner.’””

After a short recess, the defense opened,
splitting the opening remarks among
themselves.

They then called their first and only
witness, former Student Association at-
torney Mark Mishler, who cited the 1969

set of SUNY ordinances Public Order
laws, according to Greenblatt.

According to Gaveglia, ‘‘We weren’t
given due process. We deserved to be tried
in the SUNY wide system instead of this
hearing.”? Although he also felt the com-
mittee hearing the case ‘‘was in no way un-
fair. They listened to us and didn’t try to
stifle us.’”

Schneir also agreed the committee had
been fair, but felt that to start a new trial
after the old one had begun would be dou-
ble jeopardy and therefore unfair.

Schneir also felt that a long deliberation,
although it may give them more time to
prepare, also makes the events in question
more distant and harder to recall, and
leaves the trial ‘‘hanging over them like the
Sword of Damocles.”” QO

SUNY -Albany: decades of change

O’Leary finds activism
common denominator

By Jennifer McCormick
NEWS EDITOR

Ten years ago, SUNYA
students were living in a world of
a $2.50 minimum wage, an 11
p.m. curfew for female dorm
residents, the SUNYAC cham-
pionship Danes basketball team
claiming and Vincent O’Leary’s
selection as acting Univeristy
president.

Leaving the ‘‘best job in the
University” as a criminal justice
professor to become the chief ad-
ministrator, O’Leary told the
ASP in May, 1977 that he was
looking forward to returning to
the School of Criminal Justice,
that “‘professors have the best life
of all.””

O’Leary tried to characterize
the 10 years of his administration;
from 1977 when students were
staunchly anti-elitist and anti-
ceremonial, to 1987, when Greek
life holds such prominence in
social life.

“Students have always been
very idealistic.” O’Leary said.
“Expressions of that idealism
look very different now.”

“The whole idea of movements
and being involved is a cast of this
campus,” O’Leary said. SUNYA
“thas always had the reputation of
an activist campus.”” SUNYA
students have always struck a
balance between ‘‘twin streaks,”
one activism and one idealism,
O’Leary said. The one disadvan-
tage, he noted, is that ‘‘I’m get-
ting old, they’re always 20.”” One
of the greatest changes directly af-
fecting students was the 21 drink-
ing age, which ‘‘changed the
whole social structure in a very
fundamental way.’’ O’Leary said.
“The big event [dorm drinking
parties] got minimized.

During the Carter administra-
tion, Americans suddenly began
realizing they were not as power-
ful as they thought, O’Leary ex-
plained. The Vietnam War, the
Iranian hostage situation, the
Middle East oil crisis — they all
took their toll on the United
States’ self-image,’ and ‘‘that’s
reflected in students.”’

As acting president in 1977,
O'Leary led commencement exer-
cise, convocation, and Torch
night to a sparse group of
students. Torch night was held
between the administration and

President Vincent O’Leary as a Criminal Jus!

Fine Arts Buildings, for instance.
A dramatic turnaround over the
last 10 years now finds thousands
at graduation — so many the
ceremonies may need to be stag-
gered. The university has gone
through extreme changes, being
only 20 years old itself. When the
school became SUNYA from
Albany State Teachers’ College
20 years ago, not only were there
no general education re-
quirements, but there were no
customs carried on from past
years. Everything done was ‘‘an
instant tradition,” O’Leary said.

SUNYA became an institution
of higher education during the
Kent State crisis, when “‘the very
nature of universities was being
looked at,’’ O’Leary «said.
Students and educators were
working to ‘‘add students to
school.””

Through the 70’s, SUNYA was
going through a process of
‘defining, deepening, shaping,
and stabilizing itself.”’ One of
O’Leary’s responsibilities, star-
ting in 1977, was to work on the
“‘development of a coherent
undergraduate curriculum, in-
cluding the development of many
degree programs now in existence
and the conception of Rockefeller
College and the School of Public
Health.

These priorities have continued
through the present, with the con-
ception of the Undergraduate and
Graduate Initiative Programs.
This year, SUNYA was classified
as a “‘research university,’
O’Leary said, lending credence to
the longterm goal to develop and
strengthen a number of graduate
programs.

With 60,000 alumni world-
wide, SUNYA has become much
more in touch with the outer
world. O’Leary said meeting with
alumni is one of the more pleasing
aspects of his job, describing one
alumna from the class of 1916
and her impressive attendance at
and devotion to Alumni Days.

O’Leary, who joined SUNYA
faculty as a criminal justice pro-
fessor, is still involved with the
field outside of the University set-
ting on national crime commis-
sions, and training juvenile court
justices. ‘‘It’s a great field,’’ he
said, ‘‘but very humbling.” oO

Longest-tenured Professor Elbow
cites many faculty-student shifts

By Colleen Deslaurier
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

During the past 40 years, many
changes have taken place at
SUNYA - graduation re-
quirements have changed, classes
have grown larger. And one pro-
fessor has been here through it
all.

History professor Matthew
Elbow first came in 1947, thus
making him the oldest SUNYA
professor, at least in terms of
service.

“There was a common pur-
pose. Everybody was here with
the same purpose — to be a high
school teacher,’ remembered
Elbow of his first years, when the
university was known as the New
York State College for Teachers,

In 1947, Elbow said there was
only about 1500 to 2000 students,
and about 100 faculty members.
Pierce and Sayles Halls were built
and Brubacher Hall was soon to
be built, Elbow said, adding that
the campus was within walking
distance. ‘‘There was no need to
take the bus.” And about 200 to
300 more women attended the
college than men.

A greater intimacy between
students and teachers existed
then, according to Elbow. Stu-
dent teachers asked professors for
advice, took suggestions, and in-
formed evaluations on their
teaching performance.

“Tt went beyond academics,’”
Elbow said about the student-
faculty relationship. In the ’50’s,

he was faculty adviser of a ‘‘non-
partisan political group,” which
dealt with state, local, interna-
tional and national politics.

The group, supported by Stu-
dent Association, ran conferences
at SUNYA and attended con-
ferences elsewhere, Elbow said.
Model legislatures as well as
Model College United Nations
Assemblies were also held.

The group disbanded years
later when SA refused to support
it, Elbow said, because they felt
“too few students were benefit-
ting from it.’? However, Elbow
said he was able to ‘‘get to know
them [the students],’”’ through
this group.

Interaction with students was
also greater before, Elbow said.
“J got to know students that I
can’t today. Except for a few, it’s
very hard to get to kaow them the
way you could then.”

Over the years, Elbow said
students have chang: s. However,
he added, students are as bright
today as they ever were. There’s
an awful lot who vant to make
money. I wish there weren’t so
many.”” However, because this is
the kind of interest in the coun-
try, you “‘can’t dleme it on the
students, he added.

“Although I think the students
in the 60’s and 70’s did a lot of
destructive work, it got students
aware of the werld around
them,”’Elbow added.

When he first begin as a pro-
fessor, Elbow said a Jarge number

his classes. The students lived in
barracks, temporary wooden
structures, with their wives and
children, set up near the campus.
“These (students) were among
the most hardest working college
students I’ve ever had,’’ Elbow
said. “So many of them had
travelled and were tremendously
interested in the world about
them.” In addition to WWII
veterans, Elbow said he has had
Korean veterans, and Vietnam

Business Dean Larwood ‘works with winners’

By William J. Taverner

Are you considering a Business major?
Have you been getting those grades up
before applying to the business school?
Meet SUNYA’s new Dean of the Business
School, Lori Larwood.

Larwood, a New York native at SUNYA
since July, said she is quite content both
with her new position and the city of
Albany.

“T like it [SUNYA] very much. Albany
is an exciting city with a
teal nice ambiance,”
Larwood said.

With a master’s in
business administration,
Larwood has held
similar positions at the University of Il-
linois, SUNY Binghamton and the Clare-
mont Colleges chain.

Larwood is enjoying the reception she is
receiving from the university, and is par-
ticularly fond of the student and faculty
programs. here at SUNYA.

“T like the challenge,’’ Larwood ex-
plained, ‘‘We have a terrific faculty; there
is a supportive state atmosphere; and we

expenditure.

The other three concerts
organized by UCB also lost
money, Weinburg said, but not as
badly as INXS; the Touch and
Yellowman each lost ‘‘a couple of
thousand,’’ Weinburg said, and
the Alarm ‘“‘Iost about $10,000.”

The Touch and Yellowman
were each considered successful,
although they lost money.
“Colleges never make money ona
show,”’ Weinburg said.

The alternative to declaring
UCB defunct Doddo said, is to
give them one more chance for a
successful show. The hesitation in
deciding this stems from the pro-
cedural difficulties in ap-
propriaiting an effectively
bankrupt group more SA budget
money than Central Council ap-
proved for the fiscal year.

Doddo said he plans to meet
with Harrison, Kaplan and SA
Programming Director Rob
Berke to discuss the matter.

Weinburg said he hopes to be
able to program more diverse
music next semester. He’s said he
is looking into possible jazz,
heavy metal, and reggae shows. L)

higher education in the past. Now it is. I
don’t join second class institutions,”’ she
said.
The new Business School Dean does not
have any plans for drastic changes.
“Change in universities is like moving a
graveyard,”’ she continued. ‘‘You have to

move each grave one by one.””

Instead, she plans to keep the Business
School at the high status it has always en-
joyed. She would prefer, however,
creating a better contact between the
School and the business community.

Why is Dean Larwood working in a
University and not out practicing her
skills?

Larwood entered a small business with
four associates and became the company
president at age 23. This company had its
share of difficulties, including that its
associates refused to cooperate with each
other.

Such conflicts left Larwood with a
number of questions concerning why peo-
ple behave in peculiar, unexpected ways,
resulting in her return to the university set-
ting in search ,of answers to these
questions.

As she looks for her answers, she’ll be
working with one of the finest
assemblances of business students in the
country.

“I work with winners, not losers,’’ Lar-
wood said.

Reflections

It’s been a little over two-and-a-half years
since I first walked into the ASP newsroom.
After I left the office, I couldn’t remember a
single thing about the room, only that I was
discretely trembling as I put my first news story
in the hands of a news editor whose name I
didn’t even know.

Nowadays, the ASP offices are my home.
The soda machine down the hall is my
refrigerator and the Rat downstairs is my stove.

I often try to look back and figure out how it
happened, but it’s all a blur. I’ll never
understand when and how I actually became an
ASPie.

I used to wonder how dedicated ASPies
could sleep on the old, smoke-filled sofas up
here after spending 24 straight hours putting
together a newspaper. Now I do the same.

I never used to understand where previous
ASP editors would get all of their ideas for
news stories. Now I find myself trying to throw
a few ideas to the news department myself.

And when the University wouldn’t let the
ASP attend closed meetings of President
O‘Leary’s task force committee on alcohol
policy, I didn’t understand why former Editor
in Chief Heidi Gralla went with me, a
staffwriter, and fought for our right to be there
under New York State’s Open Meetings Law.
One year later, I was a news editor, the
University had a new alcohol committee, and
once again I found myself trying to get in.

But this time it was just myself and my co-
news editor.

Somewhere along the line I went from a shy,
quiet freshman — who could hang out in a
lounge all night without saying one word — to
someone who could talk to University
administrators without stuttering.

T’ll never be the dynamic, win’em-all-over-
with-a-smile journalist or turn into the ‘‘wild
man’”’ persona I sometimes portray for April,
the ASPects editor, but I’m glad I decided to
walk into the ASP newsroom back in ’85.

Somewhere along the line — and with the
help of many former ASPies — I developed a
bit of confidence and found that, yes, I could
do things in life. I’m sure many other ASPies
feel the same way, otherwise the newspaper
wouldn’t have a staff of over 100 students
working to put out this paper.

I don’t know about them, but while at the
ASP I’ve learned a lot about life, journalism,
and even myself. The types of things you just
don’t learn about in a lecture center. The types
of things that matter in the real world.

Over the past two years, Ive had my share of
fun up here. And I guess that’s a major reason
why anybody does anything in life. But it’s
always been this paper’s vitality that’s kept me
here. We’re a financially and _ editorially
independent student newspaper, and to the
average SUNYA student, that means nothing.
But for us hundred or so ASPies, it means the
world.

It means we decide what to write about. It
means we decide how to run our own $100,000
business. And it means, above all, that we have
to learn how to be responsible. That’s what
education’s all about.

Sometime in the future I’ll be thinking back
to the days when I was in college, and all I’ll be
able to remember is endless days and nights at
the paper. For that I have to say thanks — both
to the paper and to the people who make the
paper what it is.

Of ignorance and change

Sometimes in the course of life, the greatest moments
are those that skip on by without awareness. They seem to
come and go without much attention and interest, and it
is probably the latter aspect that nullifies their existence.
In the process of evaluation, the same circumstances
become factors in our inability to determine whether
something or someone is in its simplest terms, good or
bad. When a decision is asked for or a comment must be
made, it is our lack of understanding that usually reflects
on our assumptions and on what we presume to be ade-
quate knowledge. There is probably nothing more
threatening to the survival of our race as our own ar-
rogance and lack of understanding.

Guillermo A. Martinez

Not that we are completely to blame, most of our ac-
tions and ideas are shaped as we mature into adults. Toa
large degree these ideas and patterns of behavior guide
our lives, blurring reality and hindering progress because
we refuse to believe that anything or anyone else is actual-
ly presenting use with viable alternatives to the way we
live, think and act. Our lives are so prearranged as to
create fear when we actually consider a change. This fear
is the ultimate byproduct of our institutions and our lives
are practically devoted, either by conciouseness or
unawareness, to perpetuate the system. In the end it is our
disposition, or lack of it, that is judged by future genera-
tions, concluding as to our ability to have made our lives
and their world any better. A majority of the time the
grade has not been a passing one. Opportunity has been
there for the taking but we have turned away in fear and
without guilt as we let a good thing get away. Over the
next few months opportunity will be visiting our country,
our hemisphere and our world. The decision on whether
to turn away in plain, arrogant, and selfish fear will rest
in the hands of the United States Senate.

The Intermediate Nuclear forces treaty that was signed
in Washinton D.C. on Tuesday will soon be up for
Senate ratification, and the talk of non-ratification is in
the air. Some of the concerns are legitimate and most are
associated with verification and the actual supervision
regarding the destruction of these missiles and of what is
to become of the fissionable material which they carry.
The treaty will be required to protect our interests as it
gives up some of our security. This is the point at which
the opponents of this compromise will launch their attack
in order to prevent its provisions from ever taking affect.
They will base their action on righteous and seemingly
benevolent purposes, but nothing will be further from the
truth. It is of the utmost importance that we recognize
their motives and interest in order to protect the work
that has provided us with a chance to deal with the Soviets
in the way we have never done so. We must understand
the benefits of this treaty and what they will mean to the
future of the United States,the Soviet Union and the
world

Too many times has ignorance stood in the way of a
world where nations can join in to accommodate each
others interests and needs without the need of violence
and war. Too many times have men in power allowed
their selfish desires and egotistical characters to dominate
the international scene, adding to the anarchy which is so
prevalent in our world. Too many times have the in-
habitants of this world faced war, hunger, disease and
pain, needless and terrible pain. The majority of the
world lives in substandard conditions, watching helplessly

as their young die, watching helplessly as their families
waste and shriek in pain from some disease that the
western world found a cure for decades ago. There can be
no justification for such destitution,we are all guilty of
maintaining the conditions of the world as they are and as
they will stay. Unless our attitudes and understanding of
how everything that happens abroad affects us, change
will only come too slow and at a pace that will bring more
complications to this already complex world.

The importance of the talks between Ronald Reagan
and Mikhail Gorbachev should not be undermined by
those who refuse to see that changes in the way we think
and live are possible at a quicker rate then they have oc-
cured. These talks could lead to the elimination of the
nuclear arsenals of both countries, but many see this as
more of a threat then having thousands of warheads aim-
ed at our continent. These individuals refuse to believe
that the Soviets are not interested in taking over the
world. They see every move by the Soviets as a scheme to
manipulate and influence the globe with their philosophy.
These men are the ones we will be hearing from in the

~ =

days to come. Showing great concerns for the American
way of life but with defense contractors as constituents,
they will try to dismantle the progress made by the leaders
of the two superpowers.

The fact that the Soviets have had their share of
violence and death should make us aware that they are as
vulnerable to destruction as we are. Their hopes for a bet-
ter life is, by all means, alive, and even though it is not
published in their papers or constantly broadcasted
doesn’t mean that they have no intention in ever achiev-
ing it. But in a society of such order and discipline, those
wants are not first priorities as indicated by their actions
even though they are primary hopes in thought.

Someone once said, ‘‘Knowledge and wisdom will be
the stability of thy time.”’ It would be to our advantage to
live by such a virtue. The possibilities of a better world
where the resources of our planet could be used for con-
structive rather then destructive means are endless.
However, it is up to us to open the way for such a world.
It is up to us to recognize that the world is changing and
that the antiquated models which we are taught to follow
are more than outdated. They stand in the way of pro-
gress, peace, understanding and mutual cooperation with
our fellow man. This is not to say that we must run blind-
ly into an opportunity for better world relations, but it is
a statement that should carry with it the hopes and aspira-
tions for a better life, a better world and just ‘as impor-
tant, a better and everlasting tomorrow. a

And they were good, considering the overall
quality of television. But because they were good,
the television gods decided that since they were
fruitful, they may as well multiply. And so Johnny
begat Joan, and Phil begat Oprah, and other talk
show hosts just kind of dropped down out of the air
and began begatting around all by themselves, jok-
ing all the way.

And so, the great wasteland of television is sud-
denly over-populated with a tumult of talk show
hosts. Here, we try to untie the jumbled knot that all
those chattering, gabbering, wisecracking people
have made in their quest to be the number one talk
show host in all the land. If you're going to watch,
you better watch now. Many of the folks vying for
our attention now will suddenly and mysteriously
disappear from sight. The overcrowding on the air

Great cAspecta tions

Christmastime, but they managed to do me in every year. And the par-
ticular Christmas in question (the year I was five, I believe) was no
exception.

It was moving along like the typical holiday season — attractive ~
decorations, pleasant music, and a truckload of anticipation while waiting
for Santa. One of our neighbors, Joe Rosatti, did his good deed for the
year by dressing up as Santa and then visiting all of the kids’ houses in
the neighborhood.

He should have known better than to come to my house....

Well, everything was fine. Up until a point. Joe had come in bringing
Christmas candy, or little toy surprises, or whatever. Fine.

He had a nice little visit with me. Fine.

Then came that ‘point’ I mentioned about two paragraphs ago. You see,
once ‘Joe Santa’ had left my room, he walked down the hall toward the
front of the house. My bed was positioned so I could see down the
hallway, but not much further.

At the end of the hallway, a turn to the right would lead to the dining
room and eventually to the kitchen. A turn to the left would take the
‘turer’ through the living room and out the front door. Joe turned left.

Being five years old (or thereabouts), my powers of reasoning were not
quite a fully developed as they are now. So, when Joe turned left, I
assumed that he had walked through the living room and right out that
front door. Wrong.

Mom, being the kind, hospitable person that she is (remember Ah,
Thanksgiving2?), had asked Joe if he'd like a drink before he continued
his ‘rounds’. He had accepted and had sat down in the chair near the
front door.

In the meantime, I wasn’t about to allow anyone — anyone meaning
Mom, since I thought we were the only ones in the house at the time —
to think that I had actually believed that that was the real Santa.

“Mommy,” I called. “That jerk wasn’t Santa. That was Joe Rosati!”

Well, how was I supposed to know that “that jerk” was sitting right in
our living room?!?

Poor Mom, in an attempt to cover for me, turned to Joe and said, “It
must be the fever. She's delirious,” and handed him a scotch.

While I was home this past Thanksgiving (wait/ll you hear what hap-
pened this year!), | made Mom retell the Joe Santa’ story to me. I never
knew the part about the scotch, which brought up a few points to
ponder:

(1) Do you think any of the other parents in the neighborhood
would even let him, smelling of booze as he must have, come into their
houses?

(2) Would he even want to go to any other houses after his “ex-
periences” at mine?

(3) Does Santa really drink scotch???

Regardless of the answers to these questions (which I know will be bur-
ning in your minds for some time to come — especially number 3!), I'd
like to wish you all a very happy holiday season. Hope all of your Great
Aspectations for winter break come true!

Aspects 3a

WHY, UNICEF join forces to feed the hungry

it was charity — the fusing of those

elements, popularized by the Band-
Aid, Live-Aid and We Are The World ef-
forts, was actually originated years before
by that late Harry Chapin, who co-
founded World Hunger Year (WHY) and
introduced music as a tool to fight hunger.
This time around it was Hungerathon ‘87.

Stef McDonald

Yes — it was the weekend before
Thanksgiving, and for the third con-
secutive year WNEW-FM (102.7 in New
York) joined forces with the ranks of
UNICEF and WHY in a twenty-four hour
broadcast of commercial-free live music
and informative segments all for the noble
pursuit of feeding the hungry.

This year under the production of John
Seargeat and Rich Linnell, the venture
went beyond the WNEW listening area.
Via satellite from the United Nations in
New York and The Roxy Theatre in Los
Angeles, the event went national,
simulcast on over 150 radio stations for
four of the 24 hours.

“Bob (Geldof) started off with his ‘Do
They Know It’s Christmas?’ record, which
started very small and just kept going,”
said Linnell backstage at the U.N., between
phone calls to L.A. and scurrying around
trying to keep things running on time. “We

I t was the media; it was music, and

would hope to do that with this event,
too.”

The scene at the lobby of the U.N. was
not, by any means, typical. Wires were
webbed along the floors usually graced by
the feet of diplomats, an old black leather
jacket was hanging on the arm of an an-

ing how to get it right.”

Getting it right was apparently the
event's common goal, but Southside
Johnny & The Jukes, the first to perform
nationally from the U.N., seemed im-
mediately more concerned with getting the
tempo moving. After a cover of Bruce Spr-

cient statue, and taped to its foot was a
songlist of one of the performing bands.
WNEW DJ. Pete Fornatale and the man
who founded WHY with Chapin, radio
personality Bill Ayres, sat at the broad-
casting table beside a small stage before the
audience that grew to between
1,000-2,000 by mid-afternoon.

Just before twelve, folk singer Richie
Havens, the man who opened things at
Woodstock almost twenty years ago,
likewise started the show by taking the
stage at the U.N. first, strumming his way
through an embracing rendition of “Here
Comes The Sun.” Then, before his last
song, he said, “At one point we had it all,
and at some point we lost it all. The truth is
we never had it and we're only now learn-

ingsteen’s “Fade Away” (Springsteen, in-
cidently, made a $10,000 contribution),
they retreated to their own get-up-and-go
rock to get things rolling.

“We live a pretty good life,” said John
Lyon of the band, backstage after their set.
“Even the guys that aren't making a great
amount of money are at least doing what
they want to do for a living. It just
behooves us to pay them.”

Just guitars and Ian Anderson's magic
flute came next for the much-anticipated
acoustic performance by Jethro Tull. In a
very remote yet sweetly unrestrained set,
highlights came with the classic “Skating
Away” and the biting “Budapest.”

From L.A. came performances by Los
Lobos, Jackson Browne, Robert Cray,

James Taylor, and the band of which the
L.A. host Graham Nash is a part, Crosby,
Stills and Nash. But the height of the after-
noon’s exitement at the U.N. came from
the rousing performance by the Hooters.

Having just returned from a European
and Japanese tour and probably on their
way to becoming an American rock-n-roll
staple, the Hooters opened with their new
single “Satellite,” which, considering the
nature of the broadcast, was as appropriate
as it was driving. Later, during their second
set, came their mandalin-laced version of
The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with
Diamonds,” featuring the soulfully strained
voice of bassist Andy King. That lead right
into their own “Where Do The Children
Go?” with a guest vocal appearance by Pat-
ty Smyth, formerly of Scandal. It, too, was
appropriate. “Where do the children
go2/and who’s that deadly piper who leads
them away?’, they sang and the parallel
seemed clear: hunger facing thousands of
American children drew together the
gathering, and it was illiciting the response
of help.

In the final analysis, Hungerathon ‘87
raised over $250,000 and once again
brought the issue of hunger to the atten-
tion of millions. Another musical-media
event for the sole purpose of trying to feed
the hungry — it couldn’t have failed, and
by musical and charitable measures, it
didn’t.

Aspects’ guide to studying for finals

nce again, college students around
O the country are preparing for that

‘fun-filled occasion known as finals
week. C'mon, admit it, you know you're
just as excited as I am at the prospect of
spending all your existing free time with
textbooks. As a matter of fact, that’s exact-
ly what I was doing when I thought to
myself, “God, what a great article this
would make!” After all, everyone has to
study now. There's no way out of it
(besides suicide).

Brian Hartstein

Let's consider the possibilities. Everyone
has their own, shall we say, ‘unique’ way of
studying. Some begin weeks in advance
and do a little bit at a time. These people
are obviously raging with insanity, because
no one has shown them the correct way of
preparing for exams. Of course, | mean
picking up the books the night before the
test. This method usually works for me;
however, I find myself unable to retain any
of the information after the test. This in
itself is not a problem, since I sincerely
doubt someone will call upon me for my
broad and vast knowledge of nutrition (a
course that I took last year and went to on-
ly three of the scheduled classes — one of
the three times was to take a test),

Cramming can be fun, Many people
love the thrill of having the clock tick
away through the night while they are
looking at information for the first time.
Last year, I crammed for the first time.
(Yes, it was the nutrition final.) I did fine,
but because I kept drinking coffee, I would
have to head to the handy-dandy
bathroom every eight to ten minutes.

Food is a must. Since you're not talking,
it gives your mouth something to do.
Speaking from experience, pizza (the old
standby), is not a good idea — I have
books that are littered with tomato sauce
stains, and some have that moldy cheese
trapped between pages. This is due to the
fact that you can’t give the pizza the un-
divided attention that it deserves.

My favorite study food is potato chips,
especially when I’m having trouble keep-
ing my mind on what I’m doing. It’s not
that they're so tasty, but rather the fact that
they are noisy. I love sitting amongst a
group of fellow studiers and whipping out
a large bag of chips. The crunch is terrific,
and watching the people deal with the

noise until they cannot stand it any longer
is hilarious. My philosophy is: if I can’t con-
centrate, then no one should be allowed to.
This might be mean, but it helps to lower
the curve.

This brings me to a point about studying
in groups. Generally, this is not a good
idea, especially for people like me who
love the sound of their own voices. Some
people who study in large groups have
other motives for studying. They study,
not to enhance their knowledge and self-
awareness of the world around them, but
rather to “pick up.”

For example, go to the first floor of the
Albany State library. People aren't really
studying at those tables, they're “shopp-
ing.” Recently, I went there to study
(honest!) with a friend who will not let me
use her real name, so I'll call her Hortense.
Hortense and I had planned to study a day
in advance, and since | had a big test com-
ing up, I was in need of the studying time.

At 8 p.m. we were supposed to arrive at
the library. At 8:45 p.m., Hortense was still
getting ready to go to the library.

Tasked her, “What the hell is taking you
so long? You're going to the library to
study. Who cares what you look like?”

She replied, “You never know, I might
meet someone.

Thad to think about that one. | mean, did
she think that at 10 p.m. everyone stopped
studying at the library for a brief and infor-
mal cocktail hour? You know, a sort of
“getting to know you” session?

Hortense also informed me that if she
were to meet someone and began to ignore
me, that I should not take it personally. At
that point, I laughed in her face; who was
she kidding? I was going to study. | didn’t
care if she glanced in my direction at all.
Besides, I didn’t need any more distractions
than the ones | provided myself with.

A beneficial side-effect of studying is ex-
ercise. Exercise? Yes, exercise. While in the
act of studying, I move around so much
that it would put Jane Fonda to shame.
Legs up, legs’ down, arms folded, neck
sideways, one leg up, and so on. One of
my studying goals is to successfully
discover the most comfortable position in
which to place my body while studying.
Next time you're studying in a group, try
and play “Study-Twister.”

When studying, location is just as impor-
tant as position. At Albany State, the
average student has just so many choices.

For the on-campus student the options are
not terrific. There is, of course, the library.
Unfortunately, Albany State's library has
all the warmth of a train station. Actually,
strike that remark. A train station has more
warmth. There is lecture center nineteen,
but everyone has spent enough time in
classrooms. You could study in your room,
but I tend to fall asleep while studying in
mine. This could have something to do
with the fact that there is a bed in my
room.

If you're looking for a large and unper-
sonal place, the campus cafeterias make a
fine choice. My faverite places are the pen-
thouses at the tops of the towers on each
uptown quad. While they do lack at-
mosphere, if you get bored, you've got a
great view to gaze out upon. I live on State
Quad, so I can only speak for it's pen-
thatsa,. huts Lhawevane. stall question.
When you are told something will be open
twenty-four howls a day, seven days @
week for your study convenience, why is
it that this promise is a lie?

On State, the penthouse is closed for
three hours on Monday nights for RA
theetings; nd Paced aad Thuredays for
about two hours for aerobics class. This
leaves Wednesday night as the only
uninterrupted studying night. I exclude Fri-
day and Saturday nights for obvious
reasons. (I know I've gone off the beaten
track of my article, but I figuréd it’ would
be easier than writing a letter to the editor
about ‘this. I'll try not to let it happen
again.)

Procrastination. I always hated that
word, but if I ever wrote my
autobiography, that would have to be its ti-
tle. The phrases, “Tl do it tomorrow,”
“Later,” or “When I get a chance,” are often
uttered from my mouth. We all pro-
crastinate, but why? Surely no one enjoys
typing their papers (or in my case, writing
them and then typing them) an hour before
they're due. I always promise myself to do
it weeks in advance, but it never fails. If a
paper is due at one, I'll still be coalescing
my thoughts at twelve.

As the time draws nearer to finals week
and each student whips out those books,
pens, pencils, calculators, and No-Doz,
remember that it will all be over soon (not
soon enough, but soon). I have to end this
article, though, because I have another one
to write, and five finals to study for. But, I
will get it done . . . Iwill. ia

A Tumult of Talk Shows in Tele

The Late-Night, Last Place, Drama wr

Wil
Shriner

Ithough we are used to watching our soap
A operas in the afternoon, a real life serial
drama has been taking place after eleven
o'clock each night. Although we have all heard
about it, the drama, nicknamed the “Fox Late Show
Blues” has been ignored by almost everyone, mean-
ing big headaches and small dollar signs for Fox
Network.
Because of the country’s relative ignorance about
the “Late Show”, let me bring you up to date on the
story and its players.

EPISODE 1: Too Good To Be True

Everything was rosy. It was a match made in
heaven that would last forever, Johnny Carson was
the king of Late Night, but even royalty needs a
break: eight to ten weeks off every year. Enter Joan
Rivers, Johnny's “designated hitter” while he was off
vacationing at Wimbledon or getting another
divorce. Johnny's boyish sense of humor and Joan's
small injections of biting wit made for a perfect
combination.

EPISODE 2: The Breakup

It all seemed so perfect, but it wasn’t. Just as
Johnny could not keep a wife, so he could not hold
‘on to a subsitute host.

A company called Fox (as in “Crazy as a. . .”) was
trying to become the fourth network in a race that
was monopolized by three thoroughbreds for thirty
years. Joan was offered enough money for her to
leave Johnny and become Fox’ pioneer into late
night talk show television. It would be something

The supermarket tabloids screamed out Joan's
tales of woe: Johnny ignored her; they had not
spoken for months; she was a second-class citizen at
NBC, Mr. and Mrs. Talk Show were parting on less
than amicable terms.

With the armies’ fortresses set up, the battle got
ugly. Carson told his guests that they would be
blackballed from his show if they appeared with
Joan, and Joan expounded on how different her
show would be.

We waited.

Episode 3: Premiere

Joan had some hot guests on that October night,
among them David Lee Roth and Elton John (who
sang “The Bitch Is Back” in Joan’s honor), but the set
looked like Johnny's, the format looked like
Johnny’s, and Joan’s band looked like a hip version
of the NBC Orchestra.

Episode 4: Dismal Ratings

Besides the fact that it was a Carson clone, The
Late Show had two main problems.

First, as Johnny promised, the guests were not
high calibre, mostly up-and-coniers, has-beens, and a
bunch of people plugging other Fox programs. Se-
cond, hearing Joan Rivers’ caustic, biting wit proved
to be too grating to take every night. Apparently,
jokes about Heidi Abromowitz, Queen Elizabeth,
and Liz Taylor were just not interesting enough to
hear about night after night after night. Joan’s low
blows were returned with low ratings.

Episode 5 was a two-parter: A Second Divorce
and Fox Plays The Field

No Worshipers at this Shriner vy sien tars

on’t get me wrong, I don't hate Wil Shriner.
D He is a bright and articulate person with a

decent (yes, only decent) sense of humor.
But seriously, does he merit his own talk show?
Well, after watching his show, which is on channel
13 at 9 am. (I need something to do before my

10:10 class), I have come to a conclusion. No! No!
No! (Did I make that clear enough?)

Shriner was asked in an interview which talk
show hosts he admired and he replied, “I once said
that I want the warmth and lasting power of Carson
and the inventiveness and creative flair of
Letterman.” Unfortunately for Mr. Shriner, he is
lacking in all the aspects he mentions. Mr. Carson
and Mr. Letterman need not lose sleep over Wil
Shriner. In fact, while watching Mr. Shriner's show I
find myself falling asleep.

Where did he come from? Why a talk show
instead of a sitcom? Wil Shriner's father was Herb
Shriner who, in his day, was a famous comedian.
Unfortunately both Herb and his wife Pixie were
Killed in a car crash. This left both Wil and his twin
brother Kin, who is an actor, without a mother and
father. He eventually studied at the Sherwood Oaks
Experimental College, where he met Max Baer, Jr.,
who hired Wil has a production assistant for Ode to
Billy Joe. Thus began Shriner's first venture into the
entertainment industry and the start of an
“illustrious” career including such notable ventures
as the “Video Vault” segment host on television's
“TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes.”

The fact that Shriner seems unqualified and
undeserving of his own talk show is not a figment of
my imaginations. Group W Productions, which
produces Shriner's syndicated show, came up with a
concept in 1984 for a light-hearted daytime talk

show which would be syndicated around the
country. Previously, Group W had brought us such
stellar personalities as Merv “Wildman” Griffin,
Gary “Man of the Hour” Collins, and John
“Hollywood Squares” Davidson. It is truly amazing
that Group W has survived as a production
company.

From 1984 until March of 86, Group W searched
for a television personality to take the reins of its
new talk ‘show. Then, executive producer Charles
Colarusso remembered an “affable young comic”
who he had met some years before, that comic
being Wil Shriner: Obviously, Shriner passed Group
W's requirements of what a talk show host should
have (a steady heartbeat, and the ability to walk and
chew gum at the same time).

Signing Shriner to his own talk show was a “safe”
choice on the part of Group W. They were
designing a daytime talk show and were obviously
afraid of choosing someone who might be a little bit
controversial, like Jay Leno. The last thing they
would want to do would be to offend the typical
morning “hausfrau.” Instead of just getting
noncontroversial, they got bland, stale, and Wil
Shriner.

It’s not that he is so unfunny, because sometimes
he can be amusing. It's just that his style is too low-
key to sustain interest — mine, yours, anyone's.
Perhaps he should have fine-tuned his stand-up
routine, because he tries hard to be inoffensive but
this is at the cost of “quality yuks.”

Part of the problem with Shriner's show is the set.
It looks like a cross between the set of “Good
Morning America” and the “Oprah Winfrey Show.”
Both of these shows sets work for them, but mixed
together it creates a nondescript atmosphere.
Besides, the couch in my suite is nicer than the couch

on his set and anyone who has seen my couch
knows just how ugly it it.

My roommate really enjoys Shriner and his
looney antics, We often fight about this (among
other more important things), especially when I feel
like watching The Newlywed Game instead. Now
you know something is wrong when someone
would rather subject themself to “What was the
weirdest place you've made whoopee?’”, than to the
trivial questions a talk show host might ask.

Shriner is very nepotistic, which is something that
bothers me a great deal. It seems like every show of
his that I’ve seen has had a segment in which he
somehow manages to work his one-year-old son
Nicholas into the show. One time he went so far as
to have one of his guests bring out their child, so this
way little Nicholas could have someone to bounce
off of and the audience could go, “Awwwww!”
Nick may one day want to kill his dad for making
him have his professional debut on such a stinker of
a show. Perhaps he’s grooming the “Nicker” to take
his place and then one day we'll have The Nick
Shriner Show to enjoy. This may sound like sour
grapes, but if Shriner can have a talk show to put his
kid on, I don’t see why my dad couldn’t have one to
put me on.

One thing that Shriner can’t be faulted for is the
caliber of his guests. Where, my dearest, would you
like to go to dine this “fine” evening?? I do hope
your creative juices are flowing, because it’s all a
matter of just “doing it,” y’know7?!? (That's an
important point. Remember itl!!)

He's had such big stars (and I'm not being sarcastic
this time) as Burt Reynolds and Michael J. Fox. I
have a theory as to why he is able to get such guests.

Barry Sand is producer. Sand was the producer of
Late Night with David Letterman from its beginn-
ings, six years ago: He left Letterman only because
Fox promised him total control over Report.
Because of this, his wacky personality, will shine
through.

He said that Report will consist of a potpourri of
“standard but slightly skewed features.” Among
them, inmates at San Quentin will do television
reviews, and Jack LaLanne will do health reports.
Movie reviews will be done by a Siskel and Ebert-
like team consisting of an 80-year old man and a
thirteen year-old boy.

Melanie Gerig, a spokesperson for WXXA, the
Fox affiliate in Albany, said, “The show will be
regimented with the same features at the same time
each night. If someone wants a movie review, they
will know what time to tune in.”

The Wilton North Report was supposed to
premiere on November 30, but Fox delayed an extra
two weeks in order to get it perfect. As Gerig putt,
“Fox would rather get the bugs out and put it on the
way they wanted to rather than fix it later on.”

Will this latest venture into late night succeed
where its predecessors had not? Only time and
ratings will tell. As Joan Rivers, David Brenner and
Alan Thicke (among others) have all learned, the
American public has grown accustomed to Johnny

Show premiered on national television.

Since then, after less than one year on the
air, the show has swept the Daytime Emmy
Awards. The show has won in the categories of
Outstanding Talk/Service Program and Outstan-
ding Direction, and Oprah took the category of
Outstanding Host. By doing so, The Oprah Win-
frey Show beat The Phil Donahue Show, which
had been leading the pack of national talk shows
until then. According to the Nielson ratings, Win-
frey’s show has ranked as the most popular talk
show syndicated today.

The major factor leading to the show’s great
popularity is Oprah herself. Oprah Winfrey is an
honest, spontaneous woman who possesses
qualities which can make anybody feel like
they're with an old friend. Oprah speaks her
mind, and she is not afraid to ask any question.
Oprah doesn’t work from a prepared script.
Rather, she gathers as much information on a
show's subject as she can, so that she can have a
very natural discussion about what most sparked
her interest. It is becuase of this relaxed setting
that people enjoy being interviewed by Oprah.

She relates very well to her audience. This is
partly due to her knack for asking the questions
that the audience would. Even more so, Oprah
relates to her audience because of her many ex-
periences growing up and developing into the
person she is today.

Born out of wedlock, Oprah lived in a broken
home for most of her life. She was abused sexual-
ly as well as emotionally and was almost sent to
prison at one time. She has made such a tur-
naround that she is now a very successful black
woman in what is a predominantly white man’s
business. She can, and on many an occasion has,
put an arm around a member of her audience and
cried with her.

O n September 8, 1986, The Oprah Winfrey

the Daytime Crown
Goes To Oprah _ by Beth Meyer

Another quality which. makes the audience
warm to Oprah is the way she speaks to them.
Oprah is easy to relate to because she shares the
same everyday problems that everyone else has.
Oprah is not beyond taking her shoes off during
the show if her feet hurt. She also shares with her
audience her problems about dieting and her love
life. She often tells her studio audience of good
bargains she has recently gotten.

Oprah likes to diversify the subjet matter
presented on the show. She intermixes celebrities,
controversial issues, and new and interesting ideas
and solutions for contemporary problems. Usual-
ly, the last segment of the show consists of several
callers who question or comment on the subject
discussed. Occasionally, these callers are very
troubled people who have experienced whatever
had been discussed and were traumatically af-
fected by it. Oprah tries to help these people by
speaking to them as long as they need to talk (she
sometimes even calls them back after the show to
talk) and she tries to get them professional help.

The Oprah Winfrey Show also explores highly
contraversial issues. Last winter, Oprah went
down to Forsynth County, Georgia, to shoot a
special show. No blacks had been permitted in
Forsyth County since 1912 and, consequently,
there had been many racial uprisings. Oprah went
to Forsyth to shoot a show with a solely white au-
dience. This was done despite fear that yet
another racial riot would break out if both blacks
and whites were present at the taping. Oprah,
through this show, attempted to expose racism
for what it is and tried to understand the feelings
of the whites in Forsyth County. This particular
episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show was critical-
ly acclaimed.

Oprah's show is witty, enjoyable, and infor-
mative, making it one of the best talk shows on
television today. 5

he alarm clock erupted with a
ee deafening volume that startled James
into consciousness. He opened his
eyes, only to be stared down by an intensely
bright beam of morning sunlight shining
through the bedroom window. Instinctively
shutting his eyes, he groped the nightstand
for the alarm’s shut-off button, knocking
over a glass of water and a photograph in the
process. He eventually succeeded in return-
ing the bedroom to its previous silence,
though he was now too awake to go back to
sleep.

"Hie, Sleepy Head — time to get up,” he
whispered into Meghan’s ear while running
his hand across her naked back.

“Hmmmmm,” she sighed, still half asleep.
Turing toward him, Meghan gave him the
half-smile that he'd grown to love so much,
just before burying her face in his shoulder.

“Come on, you. Open those eyes,” James
coached. “You can do it. I know you can.”

Fighting off the harshness of the morning
light, Meghan was forced to give in as James
got up and went to the window. Lazily
squinting after him, she allowed her eyes to
focus on the line of his shoulders as the sun
reflected off of his skin.

“Breakfast?” +

“Mmm-hmmmm,” she answered, still
reluctant to break her little bit of stillness
with words.

“4 don't know why you set that damned
thing,” James commented while perusing the
view. “It scares me half to death when it
goes off like that... . especially ona
Sunday.”

Sitting up, she wondered aloud, “What
should I make us? The usual?”

“Yeah. No. | mean, pancakes are fine, but
stay there. Let me get it.”

“You sure?”

“'m there,” he replied as he grabbed his
robe and headed toward the kitchen.

Meghan watched him as he left and then
smiled to herself. ‘1 should get him
something,’ she thought and mentally went
through a list of the better men’s stores in the
area, trying to select the perfect one.

“Meg? Do you have any work to do
today?”

“I brought some stuff home with me, but
nothing really pressing.” Her brownstone
apartment was large enough’ to be called
‘spacious’ by real estate people, but small
enough so that she didn’t have to yell to be
heard in the kitchen.

“Would you mind mall-ing it for a couple
of hours? I really want to see if I can find that
sweater,” James said as he carried a well-
prepared tray into the bedroom.

“Sweater? God, this looks good. I didn’t
realize how hungry I am.”

“You know. Like that green one I've got.”

“The one you wore to class on Friday?”

“That's the one,” he answered, making
designs with the syrup.

“Green really does. compliment those
baby blues of yours,” Meghan offered,
marvel'ing at the prospect of eating a real
breakfe i .or the first time in over a week.
Her hectic schedule demanded that she be
on campus by at least 7:15 a.m. every week-
day, and in her usual hustle to get ready, she
more often than not skipped breakfast.

After washing the dishes, they proceeded
to embark on the drive to the local shopping
mall, Arriving at the car, Meghan waited for
traffic to pass so that she could safely access
the driver's door without being flattened like
the breakfast food they ate that morning,
and James waited by the passenger door.
Glancing far down the street to where a dog
was inspecting a garbage can, he didn’t see
Meghan’s keychain before it struck him on
the face.

“Ooops, sorry,” Meghan apologized, “I
thought you were looking when I threw it to
you.”

“What did you do that for?” inquired
James, attempting to sound annoyed,

“C'mon, you know the lock doesn’t work
on this side.”

“T thought the Germans were supposed to

_ be master engineers. Isn’t there a BMW

dealership near campus? You ought to get it
fixed,” he said as he retrieved the keys from
where they had fallen on the sidewalk and
unlocked the door.

“If I had the time, I probably would.” She
got into the car after he unlocked her door
from the inside. As James put the key in the
ignition switch for her, she leaned over and
kissed him on the cheek. “Boo-boo all better
now?” she teased in a motherly tone.

“All better.” It had never really hurt him
in the first place, but he really didn’t mind
the kiss,

Her kisses were what seemed to get him
through even the most difficult of days. His
did the same for her, and sometimes, like
now, Meghan wondered if he realized that.
Pulling out into the traffic, she suddenly
remembered their dinner plans.

“Did you make reservations for tonight?”
She mentally crossed her fingers and hoped
James hadn't forgotten.

“While you were in the shower. Eight
o'clock okay?”

“Perfect,” she replied, switching on the
radio. A few songs later, they had reached
their destination.

Mall parking on a Sunday afternoon
wasn't the most enjoyable thing in the
world, and they thought they were going to
be stuck at the very end of an aisle. For-

“Yeah,” he mumbled, not wanting to in-
sult the gesture or to make a scene.

They both had a lot of reading to do, so
they headed back almost immediately. The
tadio remained off and an underlying ten-
sion permeated the air in the car making it
somewhat claustrophobic.

The uncomfortableness followed them in-
to the brownstone. They both knew that
they were being more abrupt with each
other than usual, but hoped that it would
pass by the time they would start getting
ready for dinner.

“I can't read another page of this book,”
James said, throwing it on the couch and go-
ing to the refrigerator for a beer.

“It's not that bad.” Meghan turn another
Page.

“Oh, sure. You're about two chapters
ahead. This part of the book is hell.”

“Well, why don’t you start your paper. It
is due next week, isn’t it?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Got a pen?”

“Uh-huh.” Meghan started looking around
her on the couch for her pen. “Dammit!
Where did that pen go?”

“Never mind,” he said, opening the top
drawer of the desk. “Jeez, don’t you write in
anything but red?!”

"Sorry. I've gotten used to it.”

An awkward silence elapsed before James

tunately, some giggling high schoolers, their
arms laden with packages, walked out to
their second-hand car which was close to the
mall.

Meghan pulled smoothly into the space.
Broken lock or no broken lock, she never
regretted the day she had finally earned
enough money to buy the car.

Inside the mall, Meghan and James weav-
ed through the masses of holiday shoppers
to his favorite store. Moving toward the
back of the store, they found the sweaters
easily, and it merely became a matter of
color.

“Blue. Definitely the blue,” Meghan en-
thused as she held it up to him. “With these
strands of grey, it’s the same color as your
eyes. It’s perfect. Really.”

“Are you sure? | kinda like the maroon.”

“But it’s exactly the right color. It would
practically be a sin to leave it sitting here,
waiting for some brown-eyed person.”

“Well, all right,” he said as they reached
the counter. He drifted off toward the ties as
the salesman rang it up. “Just a sec,” James
called. “Meg, what d’you think of this one?”

“Perfect. Bring it over.” Handing the
salesman her credit card, she asked, “Do you
take this?” He nodded and took it from her.

As the salesman handed her the charge
slip and returned her card, James’ mouth
dropped open. “What are you doing?”

“I wanted to get you a present anyway,”
Meghan explained, “and this was perfect.
Besides, you can wear it tonight.”

“I can pay for this.”

“T know you can, but I did, Is it so terrible
to want to give you a present?”

“You already gave me an anniversary
present.”

"Sor"

“So, there's no reason why I can’t buy this
myself,” he explained.

“I know that. I just wanted to get you an I-
love-you present, okay?”

finally came over to her. Placing his hand on
Meghan’s shoulder, he apologized. “Aw,
Meg. I'm really sorry. I didn’t mean to be
such a jerk about the sweater. And I love it.
Really I do.” f

Meghan had that familiar half-smile on
her face as she reached up and touched his
hand. “I know, honey. I know. And I'm
sorry. I should have said something before I
paid for it.”

“No. Then it wouldn't have been a sur-
prise. Let’s just forget about the whole thing,
okay?” 3

“Let's, 'm gonna go get ready.” Meghan
squeezed his hand before she got up and
went into the bedroom.

James tried to read some more of his
book, and, having cleared the air, finally was
able to concentrate again. He was so engross-
ed, in fact, that he didn’t hear Meghan’s
footsteps as she entered the living room.

Meghan watched him for a moment or
two before she made her presence known.
She had always loved the way he looked
when he was concentrating, really concen-
trating, on something, and she was loathe to
interrupt him, even if she knew she'd be
greeted with his warm eyes.

“Are you going to sit there all night?”
Meghan asked playfully.

“Give me about 20 minutes, and I'll be
ready.” James got up from the couch, walk-
ed toward the bedroom, and stopped when
he reached Meghan. He gave her a quick
kiss, then disappeared down the hall.

Their dinner was perfect; everything went
as planned. Even the surprise anniversary
cake James had ordered when he made the
reservation had gone over well, and Meghan
was rarely surprised by those types of
things.

James excused himself for a moment and
got up from the table. As he departed,
Meghan was struck by how much she loved
everything about him, even the way he

walked. The power of the thought was
heady, and she barely realized that the
waitress had brought the check.

“Would you like me to take this now, or
should I wait for the gentleman to return?”

“He should be right back,” Meghan had
begun speaking when a thought suddenly in-
tervened. “But, um, you can take it now.”
Reaching for her evening bag, she took out
her wallet and handed her credit card to the
waitress.

On his way back to the table, James flagg-
ed down their waitress. “Uh, do you think I
could take care of the check now? I mean,
just get it out of the way, and—”

“Well, sir, it’s sort of been taken care
of at”

“What do you mean, ‘sort of?’

The waitress held up Meghan’s credit card
and related what had happened.

“Look. Give me her card, and let me pay
for the check, I'll take care of everything.”

Returning to the table, James put on his
coat and held up Meghan’s for her to get in-
to. “C’mon. Let's get out of here.”

“You didn’t even finish your coffee,”
Meghan said, not getting up.

‘I'm done. Let's just go.”

They walked out to her car in silence.
Once inside, Meghan started it up and then
turned it off.

She turned to face him. “What's going on
here?”

“This,” he said, holding up her credit card.

“Oh my God, I forgot . .. wait a second.
How’d you get that?”

“Luckily, | caught the waitress before she
used it. Thanks. Thanks a lot,” he said
sarcastically.

“What? Can't I buy you a dinner once in’a
while?”

“Once in a while? Once in a while? If it
were just ‘once in a while,’ I wouldn’t mind.
My work-study job may not pay shit, but
that's no reason why you should always pay
for everything.”

“Noyhiknow. But I've.got a decent joss
and, well...” Meghan tried to explain, but
then ran out of words.

“Well, nothing. Look. Just forget about it.
It’s just that I hate feeling so dependent on
you. You always pay, and I need to pay
sometimes, y'know?”

“Yes, | realize that. But money's so tight
for you that as long as I have, you have. So,
what different does it make?”

“Forget it. You're missing my point. It
does make a difference. Let's leave it at that,
okay?”

While driving, Meghan debated over
where to go. Finally she had to ask, “Do you
want to go back to your quad?”

After a few minutes of silence, James
answered. “Whatever you think is best.”

Meghan drove on to the campus. She
slowed as she neared his dorm. “Are you
sure you want to go?”

“No,” he said. “I don't really.”

“I don’t want you to either. Let’s go home
and talk about it.”

‘Their conversation built slowly from that,
so that the heart of the conflict had been
reached and nearly resolved by the time
they had reached the brownstone. Home
again, they let their hearts and bodies reach
out to each other and heal the evening's
wounds.

The alarm clock sounded again, this time
at 6 a.m. James reached over and shut it off,
and then he stroked Meghan’s hair. “C’mon.
It's another wonderful Monday,” he
whispered to her.

They arose and dressed hurriedly, skipp-
ing breakfast, and dashing out to the car.
The traffic wasn’t too heavy on the drive to
campus, and she dropped him off with a kiss
and an ‘Tl see you in class.”

Later that afternoon, James was handed
back his last test in his British Lit class. The B-
grade didn’t exactly please him.

“Professor Rourke,” he called to the
woman writing on the board.

“Yes?” She continued writing.

“Is it possible to speak to you after class
about the grades?”

“Of course it is. You do know where my
office is, don’t you, James?” Meghan smiled
as she turned around from the board. QO

Not enough time!

To the Editor:

The following is an open letter to Professor Matthew
Elbow concerning the nature of the recent examination in
HIS383P, The Arab-Israeli Conflict:

Professor Elbow, the exam given this past Friday in
HIS383P was unfair and a poor method of measuring a -
student’s knowledge of the material being tested. As you
may have noticed, a majority, if not all, of your students
didn’t have nearly the time needed to properly present
their thoughts on the questions that were posed. The for-
mat of the exam, which included answering two essays, of
which one contained three parts and the other two parts,
and five ‘‘identifications’’ was very inappropriate for the
one hour of time allotted to the students. The questions
themselves were fair and pertinent in regard to the
material covered in class, but to expect anyone to think
clearly and organize his/her thoughts and then answer
those questions in one hour’s time borders on the
tidiculous. Due to the shortness of time, students were
forced to haphazardly scribble down as much informa-
tion as they could while much of their knowledge remains
in their heads instead of in the ‘‘blue-book’’ where it
counts.

An examination should be a test of how well a student
understands a subject and not a race between one’s pen
and the hands on the clock. The exam we were given
hardly gave us a chance to clearly express a good deal of
knowledge on the subject.

A lot of students work very hard and put a lot of time
into studying. It shouldn’t be too much to ask to receive
ample time to respond to a question. It is better for the
professor to allow a reasonable amount of time to answer
a question because only then can he/she get a true idea of
a student’s understanding of the topic. It is better for the
student because his/her hard work can be noted by the
professor when given enough time to state his/her ideas.

In conclusion, I leave you with a question: Are students
to be rewarded for their hard work and studying or for
the quickness of their pens?

— Marc Paseltiner

Tired of it all

To the Editor:

After sitting here reading your paper in the Dutch
cafeteria my friends and I have come to a conclusion,
we're sick and tired of hearing about the C.1.A., the S.A.
and an assorted group of other ‘‘problems”’ no one I have
ever met cares about at all.

The world is such a beautiful place. But do you realize
that if one read only the. upbeat articles in the ASP, he
would finish the ASP in 2 minutes? Some weeks less.
Why is that? Do you hire sick old grandmothers as ghost
writers? If not, get out the little guys, and lighten up.

— Adam Kinory

Minority issue

To the Editor:

As the semester comes to a close, I would like to make a
comment on the ASP’s‘ responsibility to cover minority
issues and problems on campus. I can honestly say that
out of all the issues which were printed this semester, I
saw only two meager reports by your Minority Affairs
Editor. Is it that there is nothing going on in school con-
cerning minority students or is it that you have an editor
who is too preoccupied with her resume to do her job.
Perhaps the ASP and Allyson C. Morgan can do a better
job next semester. That is, if it’s:not too much work for
either.

— Mary Chung

Just reward?

To the Editor:

Peace Project, that band of utopian misfits, has finally
received its just reward. While the members of this
organization see themselves as innocent victims of the
very system that they attempted to undermine, I am con-
fident that the student body knows better.

If Peace Project had dedicated as much time to achiev-
ing its goals as it did to whining about who supposedly
stole the ‘‘sacred banner’’ or how its rights were denied, it
might have accomplished something.

It’s too bad that hippies, rebellion and sensless bitching
went out with the sixties as, under those conditions, Peace
Project could be justified. I look forward to real con-
troversy next semester.

holiday season.

Love
Pam

To all ASPies:
You know, when my mother
pressured me to always achieve my
potential and seemed to be deman-
ding perfection from me, | thought
she was being crazy, old-fashioned,
and unrealistic. | now know she did
it out of love. | guess we are the way
we are out of love, too — for all of
you and for the ASP itself, which
despite it's turbulent 71-year history
has remained a wonderful place for
quality journalism and quality peo-
ple. Take special care of it — and
each other. And keep in mind that
behind every quote on the wall lives
an ASPie who passed on to you the
responsibility of caring for this uni-
que, independent forum for student
expression. Take that responsibility
seriously, but remember not to take
joueencs too seriously. Best of
luck to all —

Pam and Bill

Seth: 3
Bude, | gotta thank you for remin-
ding me how to have fun at this job.
Take care of the snake, the stat

special people who held up
beautifully under the extremest of
pressure. | apologize for not havin;
thanked you sooner for the har
work and dedication — and | must
admit to some remorse at finally
breaking away from the news
department, which, for me, has
rhe been the heart of the ASP.
Maybe I'll phone in some hot tips
next semester — but if you think I’m
covering any SUNY Central
meetings — think again!

Conservative joke causes confusion at Illinois

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Con-
servative University of Illinois
students invented a new student
group ‘‘as a joke’’ to keep a leftist
campus group from holding a ral-
ly Oct 21, but now others are
charging the right-wingers used
dirty tricks to deny them the right
to speak.

“We wanted to have some fun at
the expense of the campus left,’
explained Greg Kosinovsky,
president of the facetiously nam-
ed Philistine Liberation Organiza-
tion (PLO).

The humor, however, wasn’t
universally appreciated. Illinois
leftist students want the group
disciplined for spoiling their rally,
and the student newspaper, the

Daily Illini, blasted the group in
an editorial for attempting to
“control and obstruct the free
speech of another campus
organization.’”

The controversy erupted Oct.
21, when students from across the
state were holding ‘‘Day of Ac-
tion’’ rallies to oppose deep cuts
in state college funding.

That was when right-wing
students: at Illinois, thinking the
leftist United Progressives would
sponsor the Day of Action, decid-
ed to beat them to the punch by
reserving an area called the Quad,
and holding their own rally.

To keep the Quad and the issue
out of their opponents’ hands,

already working in a field close to your interests? The
Parents Association has put together its 1987-1988 Parent
Advisors List, a compilation of professionals (who all
happen to be parents of Albany students) who will talk
with you about your goals and aspirations.

The Parents Advisors will make themselves available
by appoisitment during the semester recess (or during
other times you may be at home). What’s more, you
can arrange.to meet with a professional who works near

The Parent Advisors List is available at CUE,

Set aside some time during your recess to bone-up on
your career. Check out the list before you leave... why
not TODAY!!

Organization) needs to be
punished.”

Kosinovsky — who freely ad-
mits the group was formed to an-
noy the left ‘and have some fun”
— noted the PLO’s purpose is to
“promote true egalitarianism,
and fight elitism of all kinds such
as academic achievement, laissez-
faire economics and other petit
bourgeois inhibitions.”

Campus conservatives,
Kosinovsky said, were disen-
chanted with previous efforts by
the left to rally students to
pressure the state legistlature to
increase higher-education
funding.

Illinois leftists, he said, held a
funding rally earlier this year that
quickly turned from campus
issues to speeches about Judge
Robert Bork’s nomination to the

Supreme Court, South Africa,
homosexual rights, and
Nicaragua.

“Based on that first United
Progressives rally, we thought
this would be an easy target to at-
tack,’’ Kosinovsky said.

“The left on this campus has an
idea that there are a number of in-
ternational issues that affect the
masses. The regime in Nicaragua
somehow gains when gays in Il-
linois get rights.’”

The Philistines, he said, hoped
to focus exclusively on the state
funding issue at their rally. ““We
wanted to prevent an important
issue to all students from become-
ing a mockery.””

However, just minutes before
the Philistine rally was to be held,
the conservatives cancelled.

“We decided none of us has
any experience at organizing these
things,” Kosinovsky said. The
group gave its Quad reservation
to the Student Government
Association; which conducted its
own ‘Day of Action’? rally.
Kosinovsky is also a student
government officer.

The United Progressives,
meanwhile, had staged a rally the
previous day because it did not

agree with the student govern-
ment’s call for a tax increase to
boost higher education funding.

To add to the confusion, the
Daily Illini, in an earlier story,
mistakenly had referred to the
Philistine Liberation Organiza-
tion as the Palestine Liberation
Organization.

Although the paper ran a cor-
rection the next day, pro-Israeli
students turned out to picket
what they thought was to be a
Palestinian rally — by then
replaced by the student govern-
ment rally — while pro-
Palestinians came to show sup-
port, Kosinovsky said.

“Tt was a comedy of errors,”
he laughed.

But Ann Dwyer, the Illini cam-
pus editor, said the paper’s error
did not create as much confusion
as the Philistines claim. Reporters
who attended the student govern-
ment rally say they’re unaware of
anyone who attended to support
or protest the Palestinian cause,
she added.

Although. the Philistines have
been blasted for the move,
Kosinovsky remains unrepentant.
“I still think it was very funny.””

SUNYA fieldhouse construction
to be postponed until next fall

By Matthew DiTomasso

fieldhouse:
originally set for construction this
academic year is scheduled to
begin next fall.

According to Vice President of
the Physical Plant Dennis
Stevens, the building is currently
being designed by the local ar-
chitectural firm, Mendel, Mesich,
Cohen, Waitt and Hall.

Funding for the planning and
design of the fieldhouse «is com-
ing from the State University
Construction Fund, and will cost
$1,664,000. Its complete con-
struction is expected to amount to
$10,698,000 Stevens said.

The current Physical Education
facility is inadequate to meet the
needs of the campus, said William
Moore, Director of the Division

Prot. Elbow

said, a black student stood before
a group, telling what it was really
like to live in a white-man’s
world.”’ ‘‘Students were so in-
terested you could not get into the
room. I often wish we could
recapture this enthusiasm.
Earlier the attendance was very
strict and the curriculum was pret-
ty well set, Elbow continued.
“Everyone had to take certain
basic courses.”
“In the ’60’s, the university got
away from all this, Elbow said.
“It was a smorgasbord. Now
we’re going back to that.’’
Before, there was a major em-
phasis on service, and perhaps the
world.’ Elbow continued.

of Physical Education Athletics
and Recreation and Director of
Athletics. The new building will
provide much more’ recreational
space, he added.

The structure will include a
main arena area, to feature
basketball courts and an indoor
track, according to Stevens.

The fieldhouse will also have
fitness areas which will include
Nautilus and Universal weight
rooms and space for aerobics.

In addition, there will be new
general locker facilities, home
and away team rooms, faculty
and staff training rooms, and a
few administrative offices, he
added.

Some additions to maintenance
and custodial staffs will be
necessary for the fieldhouse ,

‘What’s needed today is
something to unify the universi-
ty,”’ Elbow said, suggesting a core
curriculum for all students, core
courses on ethics, or having
conferences.

Class size has grown much
larger. ‘You didn’t have teaching
assistants, I graded all my papers,
and knew all my students.

Pressure for publications has
also increased over the years,
Elbow said. ‘‘The younger faculty
members feel this in order to get
tenure,and promotions.”

Elbow added, “‘if pressure is so
great to get it out quickly, it
means the younger faculty are go-
ing to have to spend much more
time on research and writing.”

Stevens said.

The fieldhouse will be located
adjacent to the Physical Educa-
tion Building said Stevens, so that
“the two buildings can operate in
tendem,”’ Stevens added.

This will result in curving
Perimeter Road through the pre-
sent University Gym parking lot,
Stevens said.

Moore said that the fact that a
new field house is being built has
no bearing on the academic
policy.

There is most probably no de-
mand for another Physical
Education major program within
the SUNY system, Moore said.
The fieldhouse is just intended
to provide SUNYA with the much
needed space for recreation, he
added. Oo

Elbow continued that this often
infringes connections with
students.””

As to why he has stayed at

SUNYA, Elbow said, ‘tit keeps
you young. I feel I’m not growing
old. I feel a sense of achievement
and success as students achieve.
As long as I’m well I enjoy it.”
; Although professors often
“don’t get to know people in
their departement like you used
to,” Elbow said, having a large
department enables professors,
“to learn from each other more.
There’s more opportunity for in-
tellectual exchange, at least in our
department.’’

The importance of “more in-
formal places to gather’’ was also
discussed by Elbow. “Every time
there is a lounge, it gets used up
for office space.”

Teaching techniques have also
changed. A lot of us stressed
discussion, rather than pure lec-
ture.” Students are ‘probably
More grade-conscious because
they have to have certain grades.”*

Receiving his doctorate from
Columbia University in 1949 in
history, primarily in modern
Europe, Elbow also studied
abroad in Genevajust before the
outbreak of WWII as an
undergraduate. oO

The film stars Jack Nicholson as
Francis Fahlen and Meryl Streep
as Helen Archer.

Kennedy said Nicholson was
born to play the part. Nicholson
read the book and liked it, he
wanted-to play Francis, ‘‘and so
began the quest to raise money to
pay him his price,” according to
Kennedy. ‘‘Nicholson seemed t
be best for the part because of his
Irishness, toughness and his wit,”
said Kennedy.

The film has its world premiere
in Albany next Thursday at the
Palace Theater. It will open in
Los Angeles and New York the
following day and across the
country in late January.

Kennedy said they were
pushing for an earlier opening
date in Albany because so many
people are anxious to see it.

After the lecture, Kennedy
entertained questions from the
audience, one of which was
whether it was better to read the
book or see the movie first. Ken-
nedy reccommended the novel.

Kennedy is involved with the
Writers Institute, working on a
new novel as well as the film. ©

Bennett to write in right-wing campus papers

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Three weeks ago, elusive U.S.
Secretary of Education William
Bennett, who normally doesn’t
talk to the student press or even
college student representatives,
agreed to write for, of all things, a
handful of student newspapers.

The apparent reason: it will be
for avowedly conservative
newspapers that ostensibly share
Bennett’s political views.

It’s another sign, various cam-
pus newspaper observers say, of
how college journalism is chang-
ing under the influence of conser-
vative and liberal group money,
cheaper technology and campus
political ferment.

If nothing else, there are now
more papers on a campus from
which students can choose, and
“‘traditional’’ student papers
regularly are drawing competition
from stridently political journals
on both sides of the spectrum.

“It’s becoming easier to start
publications,’ said Mark Good-
man of the Student Press Law
Center, which advises college
newspapers on legal issues.

Computers, he noted, have
made starting a paper simple
while ‘‘universities are ripe for
new publications because they’re
closed audiences. They’re fairly
effective. But I don’t see them
polarizing the traditional student
press,’”

Since 1980, a Washington D.C.
group called the Institute for
Educational Affairs (IEA) has
provided money and expertise to
launch 70 conservative papers on
campuses, IEA President Les
Lenkowsky reported.

On the other side of the spec-
trum, a Washington think tank
called the Center for National
Policy started funneling money to
help start avowedly liberal cam-
pus papers, largely in response to

Posner

<3
the floor.

Posner said he has known the
motion was coming up, but said
his opposition really ‘‘had no
tools to work with’ to either
remove him or damage his
chances for SA presidency next
year, which he had heard was a
motive behind the motion.

After hearing testimony, Alum-
ni-Quad representative Jonathan
Waks called the discussion
“nothing but hearsay about per-
sonal conflicts.’”

SA Education Affairs Director
Jim Diety called the motion ‘‘ter-
rible,”’ that ‘‘there’s no room for
it on this Council.’’ He deplored
Council’s unprofessionalism, say-
ing ‘‘man, I don’t know why you
people go about this, I really
don’t.”

Botwinik also contested the
validity of the bill. ‘‘Let’s talk
realistically — the level of com-
petency [required] to be a Central
Council member is not high.”

Botwinick praised the working
relationship he has with Posner,
stressing the importance of open
communication among
representatives.

Posner said he is pleased with
his relationsip with Botwinik, and
that there’s ‘‘a very good chance
[Council] is going to see the last
of the b.s.””

Flynn explained Thursday that
one of Council’s major problems
is bloc voting. ‘‘Certain people

-aren’t voting their conscience —
their voting their loyalties.” 0

the IEA’s efforts.

Less abashedly left-wing, the
National Student News Service
(NSNS) began in Boston last
January with some financial help
from the Public Interest Research
Group (PIRG), a consumer ad-
vocacy group founded by Ralph
Nader.

NSNS editor Bruce Allen,
while conceding the PIRG help
and that it concentrates on cover-
ing ‘‘student activism,’’ insisted
NSNS is ‘non-partisan’? and
reports both liberal and conser-
vative group activities ‘‘in a non-
advocacy manner.”

“‘They’re not substantially
changing the political bent of the
campus press,’’ said Tom
Rolnicki, the executive director of
the Associated Collegiate Press.
“They are giving an opportunity
for a small minority to be heard.
It’s a healthy sign, to see that kind
of growth and diversity.’’

Conservative papers have been
the most active. Dartmouth,
Georgetown, Iowa, Texas and
Cornell all have atypically long-
lived papers, while others tend to
fade after IEA funding stops.

‘here today, gone tomorrow,” as
the various players graduate, lose

Massachusetts journalism Prof.
Dario Politella, who compiles a
national student press directory,
said.

For example, a conservative
paper at the University of Col-
orado in September published a
story charging CU was promoting
only leftist professors. By the
time a spectacular legislative and
campus-wide probe which
found the accusation groundless
— was finished, the paper was

By mid-October, however, still
another conservative paper —
The New Chronicle — had begun.

Lenokwsky of the IEA
whose network convinced Sec.
Bennett in early October to agree
to write for opinion columns dur-
ing the school year for the conser-
vative papers it funds — noted
that, of the 70 papers the IEA has
helped start since 1980, 34 were
functioning as of last week.

“I call it the satellite press,”
Politella said. “‘They have trouble

usually guided by outside

Both left and right forces com-
plain the “‘traditional’’ campus
papers ignore them.

“Our students don’t see the
traditional student press represen-
ting their interests or their point
of view,’’ explained Kirk
O’Donell of the Center for Na-
tional Policy (CNP), the liberal
Washington, D.C. think tank
that has helped fund newspaper
start-ups at Harvard, Boston
University, George Washington,
Texas, North Carolina and 22
other campuses.

On the right, Lenkowsky said,
“Our papers are an effort to offer
another opinion.”

“We feel the campus press has
been politicized for some time,
since the late ‘60s. The campus
press has moved to the left. Some

students think another voice
should be heard.”’
Rolnicki conceded, ‘‘The

charges of liberal bias are pro-
bably true. College students tend
to be more liberal across the
board. Student support’ for,

Ronald Reagan in the 1980 and
1984 elections had more to do
with his personality than his
politics.””

Not everybody agrees. Politella
believed the mainstream student
press has become more conser-
vative, contending few papers
maintain controversial, adver-
sarial relationships with school
administrations.

“Even in the editorial pages,””
the CNP’s Julie Goetz maintain-
ed, traditional student
“newspapers don’t deal with
issues in an in-depth way. There
was a vacuum, but these publica-
tions allow more expansive
coverage of issues.”

The traditional sutdent press,
said Politella, can’t accomodate
every student perspective.
“That’s too much to ask.’*

But O’Donell agrued the
mainstream campus press will
have to deal with them. The
political journals, he said, ‘‘will
invigorate and challenge the cam-
pus and the student . paper.
They’ll promote political dialogue
on campus. The problem with

Danes pull disappearing act again, lose 86-81

By Mike Brewster

To borrow one of Yogi Berra’s more

over again. Wednesday night as Albany
State lost to the Hartwick Warriors 86-81.
The Danes, 3-3, led the Warriors,7-0,
81-76 with 2:13 left in the contest, but self-
destructed in much the same manner as

Hurricanes and
Sooners ready
for Orange Bowl

New York
(AP) Miami Coach Jimmy Johnson still
thinks the Hurricanes were the nation’s
best college football team last season
regardless of a 14-10 loss to Penn State in
the Fiesta Bowl’s national championship
shootout.

This year, despite being ‘‘a more inex-
perienced football team,’’ second-ranked
Miami will have another shot at the na-
tional title when they meet Oklahoma in
the Orange Bowl, the 23rd No. 1-No. 2
matchup in the 52-year history of the
Associated Press poll.

Johnson and Oklahoma Coach Barry
Switzer go back to the 1960s at the
University of Arkansas where Switzer
was an assistant coach from 1962-1965
and Johnson played from 1962-1964.
They served on the Oklahoma staff
together (1970-1972). They spent a good
chunk of Wednesday praising each
other’s teams at an Orange Bowl news
conference.

“Our families spent summers together
on Galveston Bay and we had a lot of
good times,’’ Switzer said.

Johnson remembers those days, but
needled Switzer that ‘‘when I see-Barry
now, the good times that flash back are
1985 and 1986,’” when Miami handed
Oklahoma its only two setbacks in the
last 35 games.

“A lot of things have been said that
the only way to beat Oklahoma is to
throw the football,’’ said Johnson,
whose team rushed 441 times |this season
but still threw 336 passes despite the
departure of Heisman Trophy winner
Vinny Testaverde.

“More than anything else, what we do
is a little bit different from what
(Oklahoma sees year in and year out in the
Big Eight Conference. But performers
like Testaverde, Alonzo Highsmith,
Jerome Brown, Dan Sileo — that’s what
allowed us to beat Oklahoma; not
necessarily the system, but the talent that
we had in the system.

“From what little I’ve seen of
Oklahoma, they’re a more talented foot-
ball team this year, especially against the
pass. They are very talented in the secon-
dary, they have great defensive backs.
For those reasons, I believe it’ll be more
difficult to throw the football on
Oklahoma.”

Johnson also said he doesn’t think
Miami is ‘‘as dominating a football team
as what we were a year ago.””

“One indication of the caliber of their
football team is that when they have a
quarterback that’s injured — Troy
Aikman two years ago — they have a
player like Jamelle Holieway step right in
and win the national championship.
Then they have Holieway injured this
year and Charles Thompson comes in
and they don’t miss a beat.’’

“Our coaches have looked at a lot of
film of them. I haven’t because I’m a
coward.”

(Quarterback) Steve (Walsh) is an ex-
cellent player. He’s better than I wanted
him to be. He throws the ball well. Their
offensive coordinator, Gary Stevens,
does a great job attacking defenses and
‘|coaching their people.”

think we are, too.’’ nee

Monday’s 102/98 O.T. loss to RPI. Hart-

the last two coming on a dunk at the

The comments made by Hartwick
players also sounded, not surprisingly, like

earlier.

down with a few minutes left, you can’t
make mistakes.”

The Danes, after trailing 41-39 at
halftime, made few mistakes in the middle
part of the second half. With senior guard
John Carmello using his patented pull-up
jump shot and junior Andy Goodemote
shooting from outside, the Danes gained a
73-63 lead with under five minutes to go.
But the Danes again encountered a scoring
drought that allowed Hartwick back into
the contest.

“The three-point play by Tom (Hen-
dricks) was a big play,” said Tim
McGraw, a former CBA graduate and the
leading assist man in Hartwick history.
“Down by five, we needed some type of
three-pointer.’’

McGraw, who scored 12 points himself,
was referring to a basket and foul shot by
Hendricks, who scored 27 points, with
under two minutes to play. It cut the Dane
lead to 81-79 and, following a Dane tur-
nover, enabled McGraw to tie the score
with a basket.

“We were pretty successful down the
stretch,” Hartwick Head Coach Nick
Cambros said. ‘‘We were able to relax and
get off good shots on offense and then
turn it up on defense.’’

The Danes were led by Carmello, who
repeatedly sliced through the Hartwick of-
fense for short jumpers. He had 22 points.
Goodemote scored sixteen, nine coming
from beyond the three-point stripe. Russ
Teague, who scored Albany’s first six
points of the game, finished with 12
markers, 11 rebounds, and the respect of
his opponents underneath the basket.

“That man is strong,’’ Dave Versocki
said. Versocki scored 15 points for the
Warriors.

This loss may be doubly frustrating for
the Danes, a win over an undefeated team
would have affirmed the Danes’ status as
quality team. Now things get no easier as
the Danes play rival Haniilton College/a
team that beat the Danes by three in last
year’s ECAC Championship game. Oo

Annual winter baseball meetings held

Dallas
(AP) Baseball, which almost always moves
slowly, has taken its first step in 10 years
toward expansion. And the Philadelphia
Phillies can be counted on to pick up the
pace in 1988.

The Phillies, hardly known as burners
on the basepaths, now emphasize power
and speed. They got both Wednesday in
acquiring fleet outfielder Phil Bradley
from Seattle in the seventh deal at
baseball’s winter meetings.

Baseball also gave its first sign in a
decade that expansion is very likely, even if
not until the early 1990s. The American
and National leagues merged their éxpan-
sion committees into a 10-man group that
will meet early next year.

At a joint leagues meeting Wednesday,
Commissioner Peter Ueberroth told

owners he favors expansion and if they
don’t, ‘‘They’d better get off the train now
because it’s pulling out of the station.”

National League President Bart Giamat-
ti cautioned those cities eager for expan-
sion — such as Phoenix, Denver, Tampa-
St. Petersburg and Washington — there
are ‘dozens and dozens of issues that must
be resolved”’ even before it is determined
what cities get teams.

. ‘How do we allocate players? Do we
dilute our current pool? What is the fran-
chise price? There are so many issues to be
decided before we know who goes where
when,”’ Giamatti said.

And there’s also the issue of interleague
play, which Phillies President Bill Giles
said is the key to the NL agreeing to
expand.

Ueberroth said expansion can’t become

a priority until it deals with the 1989 ex-
piration of its network TV contracts and
the owners’ Basic Agreement with players.
TV accounts for more than half of
baseball’s revenues and ‘“‘there is a cloud
ahead’? because of the threat of less TV
money, he said.

The Phillies think Bradley, the
Mariners’ career hitting leader, will be a
double threat. They got him and minor
league pitcher Tim Fortugno from Seattle
for power-hitting outfielder Glenn Wilson,
pitcher Mike Jackson and minor league
outfielder Dave Brundage.

It was one of two major deals by the
Mariners, who also traded Mike Morgan
to the Baltimore Orioles for Ken Dixon in
a long-rumored swap of right-handed
starters. oO

Giants’ Nelson looks for ’88 return

East Rutherford
(AP) Karl Nelson arrived at the outpatient
center at Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New
York City on time for his 9:30 a.m.
appointment.

Two minutes later, the New York Giants
lineman’s name was called and he walked
into a room for a dose of radiation,
something he has done five days a week for
the past two months.

This 35-second dose of 180 rads was dif-
ferent,. though. This was the last one
Nelson was scheduled to receive in his bat-
tle against Hodgkin’s disease, and already
he is looking forward to playing next
season.

“Tt’s done,’’ Nelson said with little ap-
Parent emotion. “I don’t have to do it

anymore. It’s something, to be happy
about. But I still have to go back for
checkups. It’s not like it’s my last time
there.”

Nelson will be making a trip to New
York City every three months for a chest
X-ray to make sure there is no sign of
cancer.

If there isn’t, Nelson has other plans,
such as returning for the 1988 season.

“Oh yeah, I’ll be playing next year,’’ he
said. ‘‘I have to think that way, and I truly
believe I’ll be playing.”’

_Nelson had the same thoughts this year
upon returning to training camp for the
Post-Super Bowl season. He was an in-
tergral part of an offense that chewed up
opponents in 1986 and made the Giants

world champions.

However, Nelson wasn’t on the field
when the 1987 season opened. After being
bothered by a shoulder problem in training
camp, he went for X-rays and the cancer
was detected.

His name instantly became a headline.
His privacy was interrupted and playing
football was no longer his biggest concern.

“The doctors told me as soon as I had
the cancer I had a 95 percent recovery
rate,’’ he said. “I never looked back after
they told me that. I just figured I’ll have to
do what I have to do to get ready and I’ll
be back.”

You could say the Albany women’s basketball team is
on a mission. The mission: to make the NCAA post-

and they don’t mention it, the Danes have to be con-

Great Dane medley
team upsets Orange
and Cornell Big Red

By Steve Silberglied
STAFF WRITER

The Albany men’s track team opened their indoor
season at the Syracuse relays in an impressive manner.

No team scores were tabulated, but by the end of the
meet the Great Danes knew that they had held their own
against tough Division I schools such as Cornell and
Syracuse.

Their most impressive race was the victorious distance
medley relay, which upset both the Big Red and the
Orangemen and broke a school record by two seconds.
This ocurred when juniors David Reinhardt, Bruce
Gryner, Vernon Miller, and senior Trevor Hash were
timed in 10:13.

Albany coach Roberto Vives was so proud of each
relay members’ performance that he felt, “Each of them
was our ‘Runner of the Meet’ because I couldn’t ask
anything more from them they gave an outstanding ef-
fort and really got the rest of the team excited.’’

Reidhart led off with a 1:57 800-meter leg, which put
the team in first place. He later recalled, “I was boxed in
at the beginning, but made my power move at
300-meters when I felt that pace was too slow. After that
I didn’t look back.’’

Grynor ran his 400-meters in an indoor best 50.9 after
a quick 23.7 200-meters. He was passed by Cornell’s
phenomenal quarter-miler but handed off strong, in se-
cond, and within stacking range.

That put the stick in Miller’s hand for his 1200-meter
let. Miller passed his Cornell opponent en route to a
3:06 split though he is more accustomed to providing the
team’s heroics on the anchor leg, Miller did an excellent
job in his set up role, giving Hash a chance to shine.

With the Syracuse and Cornell runners on his heels,
Hash moved by the half-mile in 2:10 and in control of
the race. The Cornell runner passed Hash, but with
300-meters to go he returned the favor and there was
nobody able to catch him. He took off from the rest of
the field in the last 200-meters with nobody else in sight.
His last quarter was 60 seconds, on his way to a scin-
tillating 4:17 mile. This was a personal best by four
seconds, even though he hadn’t raced on the track in
two seasons.

“TI can’t explain this,’”’ he said.” I felt very strong at
the end. I knew that I had a solid (distance) base from
cross-country season, but I didn’t think that I could run
this time with only two weeks of speed work.’’

Later in the day, sophomore Jim Clancy joined
Reinkhardt, Hash, and Miller to place third in the 3200
meter relay in 8:00.

Another record-breaking relay was the 4x1600 meter
team of sophomores Charles Bohrer, Chris Kranick,
David Spencer, and freshman Eric Bush, who finished
fourth in 18:23. Particularly impressive was Bush’s 4:26
mile.

On the 4x400-meter relay, Gaynor teamed up with
three freshmen, Mike Salmon, Eric Sampsell, and Jose
Morales, to place fifth in 3L27. Coach Vives said of the
freshmen, “‘They started off the season well, even
through there were a few technical errors that need some
minor adjustments. When you have all of them run 52’s
(for 400 meters) you know that is an outstanding way to
break in.’”

Junior Alfred Williams led the squad in the individual
events. He placed third in the triple jump with a leap of
46-3 and soared to finish fifth in the long jump.

Other individual scorers included Morales’ 6.7 clock-
ing for fourth place in the 55-meter dash, Mike Bizovi’s
fifth place in the 55-meter hurdles in 8.1 seconds, and
sophomore Carlos Brunet’s heave of 45-6 in the shot
put, good for fifth place. ‘

This weekend the Danes will be competing at the CTC

The first reason is the balance.
The Danes certainly showed that in
Wednesday’s 65-47 win over
the Manhattanville Valiants.

Not one Dane player reached dou-
ble figures in scoring. Allisa Par-
rish and Lisa Ginsberg led the Danes
with nine points each. The scoring
went like this. Donna Hughes and
Mindy Mc Laughlin both had seven,
Cindy Jensen and Sue Stempsey
both had six. Overall, nine players
scored for Albany.

“The scoring says it all, it was all
equal,” Stempsey said.

Playing five games in a week, it’s
important to try to rest your starters.
Albany is good enough where their
bench can come in and the team
doesn’t miss a beat.

Second is defense. These Danes
know how to play it. It took the
Valiants four and a half minutes to
score their first points. The Danes
then led at the half 37-26.

Opening up the second half,
Albany completely shut down
Manhattanville. The Valiants did not
score in the second half until there
was 14:25 left in the game. In the
meanwhile, Albany ran a 9-0 streak
to pad their lead to a comfortable 20
points.

Overall, the Danes only allowed
six points in a 15 minute span. The
Valiants scored 16 of their second
half 21 points with less than five
minutes left in the game. By then,
they had secured their fifth victory

season and third in five days.
The third reason is their attitude.

Albany is not over confident. They
don’t show off, and they play as a
team. Each player makes their own
contribution, and so far, the strategy
is working.

“We know what we had to do
(against the Valiants), so we did it,’’
Regina Richardson said. ‘‘People
underestimate us, they don’t know
what we can do, until they get us on
the court,”’ remarked the forward

team.

like to make predictions. She doesn’t
have to. She knows what her team’s

Playing five games in a week she has
done a brilliant job of trying to rest
people and still win.

much needed rest break, they are

Women swimmers remain undefeated
with dual meet win against Skidmore

By Arie Wollenberg
STAFF WRITER

After shaking off a disqualification in the opening
relay, the Albany State women’s swimming and diving
team came back to defeat Skidmore College 130-113 in
their dual meet on Tuesday.

The Danes, who were coming off a fine performance
last weekend in the Stony Brook Invitational, raised their
dual meet record to 8-0 on the season. The ladies gained
five of these dual meet victories from last weekend’s in-
vitational, including a dual meet victory over Division I
Marist, 76-72.

The Albany 200-yard medley relay of Jacque Courtney,
Kim McDonald, Andrea Caporuscio and Audrey Olson
started off the meet for the Danes with a victory, but they
were disqualified, giving Skidmore first place and the sur-
prisingly early lead.

“The girls were going to go for the pool record, but
they were disqualified,” said Head Coach Dave Turnage.

The Danes won just two events going into the one-
meter diving event and trailed Skidmore 58-55.

The two victories came on very strong races by. Kris
Cusse in the 200-yard freestyle and Jacque Courtney in
the 100-yard backstroke. Cusse and. teammate
Caporuscio finished first and second, respectfully, in the
200-yard freestyle and Courtney would break the Skid-

more pool record with a time of 1:03:97 in the 100-yard
backstroke.

Brenda Braun, the Danes only diver, then won the one-
meter event and the Great Danes then took first, second
and third in the 200-yard backstroke to give the lead for
good.

Courtney won the 200-yard backstroke, Ingrid Mudler
took second and Chris Cawley, a co-captain, came in
third to give Albany the 78-69 lead.

Skidmore tried to come back after the sweep with two
victories in the 200-yard breaststroke by Sara Ford and a
win by Amy Anderion in the 500-yard freestyle, but the
Danes held on.

The Danes took first place in the last four events, giv-
ing them the 17 point margin victory.

The winning swims came from Mudiler in the 100-yard
butterfly, Braun in the three-meter diving event, Court-
ney in the 200-yard individual medley, and the 400-yard
freestyle relay team of Cusse, Caporuscio, Braun and
Olsen.

Turnage said, ‘‘The team swam somewhat flat, but
they had a real tough workout the day before and were
coming of the big meet in Stony Brook.” _

The Danes’ next meet will be over the Christmas vaca-

tion as they put their undefeated dual meet record on the

line against Oswego and Potsdam at Oswego on Jz
