Court’s injunction against ASUBA continues

Mike Lettera, University Photo Service
‘SA Supreme Court Chief Justice Josh
Mandell.

By Tom Murnane
NEWS EDITOR

A Student Association (SA) Supreme
Court hearing came to an abrupt halt late
Friday after the court announced it will
not remove the injunction it had placed on
the Albany State University Black
Alliance (ASUBA) last Tuesday.

The decision was made after ASUBA
President Kahina Van Dyke stormed out
of CC375, where the court was about to
hear her petition charging SA President
Bill Weitz and Central Council with
“interference of the branches in the affairs
of (ASUBA)....”

Van Dyke had made a brief opening
statement before she left, announcing she
was withdrawing her petition, having
made “mutually beneficial arrangements”
following a “series of negotiations” with
other black leaders on campus.

Van Dyke had requested the court file a
temporary injunction to block an attempt

‘by an-epposing faction within-ASUBA-4o—--Wesibrook,.the former ASUBA-president,

remove her as president and elect a new
president at a mass meeting that was

scheduled for last Wednesday. That
meeting was cancelled when the court’s
injunction froze all ASUBA activities.
Van Dyke filed a petition against Weitz
and Central Council for their roles in
supporting her ouster, which resulted from
the invalidation of the Spring "91 ASUBA
elections.

Weitz was unavailable for comment
Monday evening.

“We need autonomy now,” Van Dyke
said in her statement. This declaration
followed complaints by Van Dyke and
others, who have publicly complained
ASUBA’s internal problems should not
have been brought into public forums
such as Central Council and the ASP.

Van Dyke Monday afternoon said this
was the reason she withdr w her petition.
“Tt was a move to let the black leadership
decide its own fate.... We realized we had
to put our personal feelings aside.”

Van Dyke confirmed she and Derek

who Weitz named interim president until
a new president could be elected, have

both tentatively agreed to remove
themselves from the executive board to
diffuse the situation “and allow ASUBA
to start working out their problems
themselves.”

ASUBA has rescheduled its mass
meeting for Wednesday night at 7:30 pm
to decide on the new executive board.

After Van Dyke withdrew her petition
Friday, Chief Justice Josh Mandell began
to question why she was withdrawing her
petition then, saying he was not satisfied
questions about the ASUBA matter had
been answered. “This court has never
been, or never will be, a vehicle for
people to make public statements,”
Mandell said.

Van Dyke Monday afternoon, upon
learning the court had scheduled another
hearing about ASUBA, was critical of the
court. “They are continuing to interfere in
(our) affairs,” she said.

“This is the body Kahina Van Dyke

case to and bring the matter before...the

University Senate debates state budget’s impact on SUNYA

By Ellen Kackman
STAFF WRITER

University President H. Patrick
Swygert last Monday appeared at
a University Senate meeting to
talk about the impact the
worsening state budget situation
will have on the campus.
Swygert also reported on several
administrative issues.

Senate Chair Edward Turner
opened the Senate meeting and
quickly tumed the floor over to
Swygert. Swygert began by
alerting Senate members of the
search being conducted by Dean
Francine Frank, for a new Dean
of Education; as well as the
position of Director of the Office
of Research. Also, once
December arrives, John Hartigan
will retire from his post of Vice
President of Finance, Swygert
said, and a search for his
replacement will be necessary.

Next on Swygert’s agenda
was a response to a recent
Middle States’ evaluation of
SUNYA. Middle States, an
educational advisory
organization, has suggested
SUNYA should revise its
mission statement, which defines
the University’s priorities and
goals. A committee will be
formed to review the current
statement being used by Albany.

“In my opinion, the mission
statement should tell a great deal
about what we are and where we
are going,” Swygert said.

Swygert also said he has
confidence the committee will
take its task seriously. SUNYA’s
mission statement was last
published in 1982.

“We hope to encourage faculty
to speak out on what should be
included in the statement,” said
Swygert, of the revising and
updating of the document. “It is
a rare opportunity that a
University gets the chance to
look at it's statement.”

Swygert then discussed the
state budget’s impact on the
University. He said a number of
faculty members have
approached him with concern
about recent newspaper
headlines reporting the large
impending state deficit. “We're
talking about a deficit of at least
$600 million,” Swygert said.

President Swygert said the
University has made a “loose
guideline” of those expenses are
necessary to run the University,
so it can operate under the
restraints and probable cutbacks
the state deficit may create for
SUNYA. The University has
been able to maintain discipline,
despite the cutbacks so far,
Swygert said, adding he expects
the University to pull through
this budget crisis with “its feet
on the ground.” “We are as
prepared as can be,” he said.

Swygert predicted a reduction
in the operating budgets of the
64 SUNY campuses, meaning

less money being channeled into
Albany. An option Swygert has
repeatedly suggested as a viable
solution to the budget crunch is a
“mission based” tuition increase
to be instituted at SUNYA. A
small part of this increase would
remain at SUNYA, with the rest
going into the State’s general

fund. The money left behind at
SUNYA would go for “campus-
based priorities,” Swygert said.
Swygert said the University is
seeking ways to cut spending,
but maintain the quality of
services at the same time. In
spite of the difficulties, there are
still 26 new members of faculty

at the University, Swygert said.
He added there has been no
reduction of faculty, teacher's
assistants, graduate assistants, or
security staff on campus. “So
far, we are ahead of our campus
financial prediction,” Swygert
said.

What is the SUNY University Senate?
‘Compiled from information from “Your Senate,” a University publication

The University Senate consists of 9 committees. One has a specific set of duties and responsibilities.
‘The nine committees are:

The Council of Promotions and Continuing Appointments (CPCA), advises the President on the|
continued employment and status of its faculty members.

The Educational Policy Council (EPC) helps develop the campus budget, reviews proposals for new
programs, and reviews the proposed academic plan for the school year. a

The Graduate Academic Council (GAC), which makes sure that the plans approved by the EPC, are
jcarried out on the graduate level. The GAC also reviews graduate programs and decides what standards|
for admission will be to various graduate programs.

The Undergraduate Academic Council (UAC) performs the same duties as the GAC, but on the
undergraduate level.

Council on Research (RES), decides how funds for research will be divided up, and oversees the}
[progress made in research activities.

Council on Libraries, Information Systems and Computing (LISC), reviews all proposed plans)
lconcerning libraries and all other information facilities on campus.

Council of Academic Freedom and Ethics (CAFE), which reviews and decides on policies which|
|pertain to academic freedom and ethics in the University community, and deals with aang decisions
jpertaining to these issues should they arise.

‘The Student Affairs Council (SAC); deals with student life outside of ‘academics.

University Community Council (UCC): handles the overseeing of University programs which are non-
academic, such as parking, alumni, , transportation, and living ope
HOW IS A BILL PASSED:

WORLD &

Lenin to be moved?

Moscow, U.S.S.R
(AP) Removal of Vladimir Lenin’s body
from its mausoleum on Red Square would
be a tragedy, the commander of the guards
protecting the remains said in an interview
published Thursday.

Viadimir Kamennykh, in charge of
security at the red granite landmark, told
the newspaper Pravda it would be a wrong
to remove Lenin’s remains and rebury
them in St. Petersburg.

“That would be a mistake, a tragic
mistake,” he said.

On the last day of a parliamentary
session following the August coup
attempt, radical St. Petersburg Mayor
Anatoly Sobchak proposed removing the
body from the mausoleum for burial in his
city—formerly Leningrad.

The mausoleum draws millions of
Soviet and foreign tourists annually.

Funerals go hi-tech

Osaka, Japan
(AP) Sentimental synthesizer music from
loudspeakers drowns out the sniffles of
the bereaved as a motorized coffin glides
slowly across a long hall under a laser
spotlight.

Seated before the coffin is a Buddhist
priest in ceremonial dark robes, his hands
clasped in prayer. A procession of family
members follows as mist from dry ice
billows all around. Green and orange
lights shine eerily from the ceiling.

Theatrical rites such as those at the
Gyokusenin, a bowling alley turned
funeral parlor, are replacing centuries-old
Japanese funerals, steeped in ancestor
worship and organized by the community.

The five-minute service, culminating in
a cremation, tacks an extra $300 onto the
basic funeral, which includes flowers,
meals for the guests and temple fees.

“We began this service because people
traditionally used to walk and accompany
the coffin to the graveyard. Our service
just takes less time,” Tomikawa said

Marine dies of AIDS

Boston
(AP) An AIDS-infected Marine who won
$3.8 million in a negligence suit for the
AIDS death of his wife and son died early
Friday, his attorney said.

Martin Gaffney died at 3:10 a.m. at
Massachusetts General Hospital, where he
had been hospitalized since September,
said his attorney, Jackie McKenney.

PREVIEW OF EVENTS —

Gaffney, 42, had charged in his suit that
doctors at the Long Beach, Calif., Naval
Hospital botched his wife’s pregnancy in
1981 by failing to give her a Czsarean
section. She was two weeks late
delivering the baby, and required a blood
transfusion that was tainted with the
AIDS virus.

The infant was stillborn. The couple
had another son, who died of AIDS at 13
months. Gaffney’s wife, Mutsuko, died of
AIDS in 1987. His 8-year-old daughter,
Maureen, now lives with Gaffney’s
brother in Lowell.

Gaffney, who also tested positive for
HIV, was diagnosed with lymphoma, form
of cancer that sometimes occurs as a
result of the AIDS infection. Maureen has
tested negative for HIV, the virus that
causes AIDS.

In April, U.S. District Court Judge Rya
W. Zobel awarded Gaffney $3.5 million,
plus $315.000 to cover future medical
costs. The decision was finalized in June.

“To represent Marty was an honor,”
McKenney said Friday. “He was a person
of absolutely rock solid values. The way
he approached his battle with the
government was the way he approached
his battle with cancer—with unbelievable
courage and dignity.”

Will wildlife prevail?

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Senate Friday derailed, and
possibly killed for this year, a
broad-ranging energy bill because of
opposition to opening an Arctic wildlife
refuge in Alaska to oil drilling.

The legislation’s supporters failed to get
the 60 votes needed to cut off debate and
advance the bill toward a final Senate roll
call. The vote was 50-44.

Sen. Bennett Johnston, D-La., who had
crafted the bill, expressed doubt it can be
resurrected with the Alaska refuge
provision. He said he would “try to pull
together” another bill.

“We have killed in three days an effort
that took over a year to develop,” declared
Sen. Frank Murkowski, R—Alaska, a
supporter of the bill.

“We're leaving town, many of us with
the feeling that the energy debate is over
for the year. I hope that is not the case,”
said Sen. David Pryor, D—Ark.

The strongest criticism came from
senators opposed to the oil drilling along a
1.5-million acre coastal plain of the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or
ANWR, in northern Alaska. The bill also
includes provisions to promote nuclear
power and natural gas development.

Runners took NY

New York
(AP) Salvador Garcia, a sergeant in the
Mexican army, won the New York
marathon, and first-time marathoner Liz
McColgan of Scotland finished the
women’s race in record time.

Garcia ran the 26,2-mile course in 2
hours, 9 minutes, 28 seconds, the
sixth—fastest in the race’s 22-year history.
McColgan, 27, completed the course in
2 hours, 27 minutes, 23 seconds,

shattering the record of 2 hours, 30
minutes, 37 seconds for a first-time
Marathoner.

“My plan was to win,” said McColgan,
who is accustomed to running 5,000 and
10,000 meters. “I have enough confidence
to beat anyone.”

Garcia, 31, the runner-up last year, ran
the fastest marathon of his career.

The New York Marathon, with a field
of more than 26,000 runners, is the
nation’s biggest race. The course winds
through New York’s five boroughs.

The first-place finishes by.Garcia and
McColgan extended the streak of foreign
winners in the New York Marathon. No
American has won since Alberto Salazar
in 1982 and no American woman has
finished first since Miki Gorman in 1977.

Arsonist sentenced

Kingston
(AP) A former state prison guard who
beat three murder charges was sentenced
yesterday to between five and 15 years in
prison for setting an arson fire following
the November 1990 slayings.

Ulster County Court Judge Francis Vogt
said he gave Michael Laveglia, 31, the
maximum sentence because “it was his
intent to destroy a crime scene, one of the
most serious crimes ever committed in
this community.”

Laveglia escaped a maximum life
sentence when a jury acquitted him of
three second-degree murder. counts. on
Noy. 20 in the deaths of Thomas
Thompson, 38, his wife Lorraine
Thompson, 26, and 45-year-old Joseph

ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The New York Public Interest Research
Group (NYPIRG) has begun distributing
a pamphlet, the “Albany County NYPIRG
Voter’s Guide 1991” to inform students
about local candidates’ positions on
several environmental, consumer, and
government-related issues.

Surveys were sent to 78 candidates in
each of the 39 legislative districts, said
SUNYA NYPIRG Member Sean
Fitzgerald. Races to be decided by voters
include the ones for county executive,
county legislature seats, and local school
board positions.

Five specific questions were posed to
each of the candidates participating in the
survey. The first question the survey
asked was whether the candidates would
be in favor of an Albany County law
requiring supermarkets to place
individual price labels on virtually all
items they sell.

The other questions focused on whether
Albany County should: construct a
regional solid waste incinerator, expand
current recycling efforts, pass a law
banning all cigarette vending machines,
and have political party caucus meetings
to be open to the public when government
business is being discussed.

The questions asked in the survey are
major issues NYPIRG works on,
Fitzgerald said.

This year, NYPIRG registered 601
voters. “Basically, there is (usually) a low

voter turnout because of registration laws
and lack of information,” Fitzgerald said.
“They (students) have information now to
make a real choice in the polls. Thirty
seconds of TV commercials don’t help.”

Sarah Zevin, the Student Action Chair
of Central Council, has announced a
Student Association van will be available
at the Administration Circle from 4:00
p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday to shuttle
students to the Washington Inn (formerly
the Thruway House) to vote.

University of lowa mourns the loss of
five due to weekend shooting spree

By Greg Smith

Towa City, Iowa
(AP) University of Iowa students and
professors came together today to share
their grief over the shootings of five
colleagues. The school's president told
the hushed gathering it was time to
“begin the long and difficult process of
healing.”

Classes were canceled and the
University community was invited to the
student union to try and sort out emotions
raised by the killings Friday by a
disgruntled former graduate student.
More than 200 staff members and
students came.

“We cannot make sense of this,"
university President Hunter Rawlings
told the group. "We are out of our depth.
Last Friday, the university was
senselessly diminished."

He said the healing process would

follow this time of "deep and terrible
sadness."

Authorities said that the former
student, Gang Lu, was angry because his
doctoral dissertation wasn't chosen by a
committee for an academic honor.

He took the .38 caliber revolver to a
weekly meeting of the physics and
astronomy department Friday, where he
began a rampage in which he killed five
people and himself.

“He stood up and started shooting,”
said Paul Hansen, a research scientist in
the department. "He didn't say anything.”

Lu, 28, shot to death two professors
and the student whose dissertation last
spring was nominated for the award over
Lu's. Then he left the meeting room and
killed a third professor in his office. Next
he went to another building, where he
fatally shot an administrator at the
28,000-student university and wounded
her secretary.

College scholarships are offered to
returning students over the age of 25

(CPS) With America's baby boomers
returning to campus in droves, the
average age of the college student is
rising. Surprisingly, nearly half of all
college students are over the age of 25.

Orville Redenbacher's, the popcorn
company, has set up a scholarship
program called "Second Start” that is
designed for adults over the age of 30.
The company says it developed the
program because many adults, with
families to support and no parental
assistance, cannot afford to continue their
education,

For the third time, the company is
offering 20 $1000 scholarships.
Applicants have to complete an essay on
why they wish to return to school. Last

year 14,000 people applied for the
program.

"We were blown away by the number,"
says Gary Redenbacher, grandson of
Orville, and a principle in the family
company. Redenbacher says he hopes
American private industry will "pick up
the slack" in financing college education
for adults.

"I'm a_ second-starter," says
Redenbacher, who returned to college at
the age of 33 after a post-high school stint
at a university. "I hope these scholarships
make people think ‘I am worth something.
I can do it.’ A lot of folks who apply are
down and out. Maybe (the scholarships)
will help them discover they are
something.”

Homicide:

David Mamet doesn’t take too many
shots at the big screen. The
writer/director, who has put out some
of the finest contemporary plays such
as American Buffalo, makes his third
effort in the film industry with
Homicide.

Wayne Stock

Mamet, who has quickly
established a cast loyalty similar to
Woody Allen, reassembles the
regulars from his first two works
(House of Games and Things Change) for
a penetrating look at modern day
police work and anti-Semitism.

Joe Mantegna is lieutenant Robert
Gold, a hostage negotiator for the
police department, who finds himself
involved in two different cases. Gold
is reassigned to help bring in a cop
killer after the F.B.I. is taken off the
case. While conducting the
investigation, Gold accidentally
arrives at the scene of a murder of an
elderly, Jewish woman.

With two officers already on the
scene, Gold remains at the crime area
until further backup arrives, only to
find himself pulled into the
investigation. “These are your

Billy Bathgate is a smart young
man. He has seen his mother struggle
in a poverty-stricken Bronx in the
mid-thirties and he wants to do better.
When legendary gangster Dutch
Schultz takes him into the gang, his
whole world starts turning around. By
the time his adventure is over Billy
will have witnessed the rise and fall of

one of the most notorious gang
leaders of that era.

people,” a police captain says to Gold

in reference to his Jewish identity.“We group,

want you on the case.”

After being
shuffled off the
cop killer case,
Gold slowly
enters the world
of anti-Semitism
and Jewish
vigilantes.

The family of
the murdered
woman believes
the act was
committed by a
local neo-Nazi
group, who has
been hanging
posters calling for
the fulfillment of
the master plan.
Rather than
showing concern

underworld actions of the Jewish hate
he is faced with a
confrontation between work and
religious loyalty.
In one of the
most riveting
scenes in the film,
Gold enters a
hobby store which
the Jewish
vigilante group
believes is the
local headquarters
of the hate group.
As Gold enters the
backroom of the
store, Mamet

His adventure is not always fun and
games. Along the way Billy is exposed
to a number of brutal murders, the
result of Dutch’s wild temper. He is
even punched in the face to cover up
bloodstains that spilled on a carpet.
His most dangerous experience,
however, is falling in love with
gorgeous Drew Preston, Dutch’s
“girlfriend,” whom he calls Miss
Preston even when they are in bed

for the family's problem, Gold initially

shows only hostility for being taken

off the other homicide investigation.
As Gold gets more involved in the

together. Billy is there when Dutch
moves the gang to upstate New York
for trial, when Dutch and _ his
accountant Otto hold meetings, anu
when Dutch throws one of his long-
time accomplices overboard. In short,
Billy’s adventure is far from being one
huge, carefree roller-coaster ride,

Director Robert Benton
revolutionized the gangster genre
back in 1967 when he scripted Bonnie
and Clyde. Working on a Tom
Stoppard script based on E.L.
Doctorow’s best-selling novel,
Benton’s absolutely straight,
conventional direction prevents this
film from being what it could and
should be: an original classic. In terms
of pure, straight forward
entertainment Billy Bathgate succeeds.
But the fire is not there as events
unfold and the audience can feel its
predictability halfway through the
movie.

Billy Bathgate is at its very best

soldier is about to shoot a Jewish

mother and child. The ending of that

scene is one I will not soon forget.
Gold is ultimately forced to confront

when Dustin Hoffman is on hand. His
Dutch Schultz is an intense portrait of
a man who can’t control his violent
outbursts and sees betrayal all around
him, combined with a lethal sense of
humor. Hoffman © completely
dominates the film, his performance
being matched only by that of Steven
Hill's Otto, his wise financial advisor
and right-hand man.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be
said for Loren Dean, a newcomer to
the screen, who fails to appear
convincing as Billy, or Nicole
Kidman’s Drew whose role seems to
be rather underwritten. Bruce Willis in
his short turn as the man who
betrayed Dutch is, as always, fun to
watch.

Credit should also be given to the
production design team whose
recreation of the 1930's gives the film
an extremely authentic look and to
Nestor Almendros’ stunning
cinematography.

A Thinking Man's Thriller

his own beliefs and priorities. There is
no clear cut answer. There is no right
decision. There is no predictable
ending. And that is the strength of the
film.

Mamet never presents any member
of the anti-Semitic group, but rather
deals with issues which never seem to
go away. The villain in Homicide is an
ideal and not a person.

Mantegna, who I believe is one of
the finest actors around, gives a
performance which is worthy of
Academy Award status. He seems
real, and tackles a character who is the
most challenging of his career.

The script of the film is deliberate
and concise, resembling something of
live theater. There are no macho,
tough guy cop lines. It is more of a
thinking man’s detective thriller.

Being a huge fan of Mamet's first
two films, I came in to Homicide with
high expectations, and was not let
down. It is the best film of the year to

2

The word out on this film before it
was even released was that it would
be one big disaster because of budget
problems and personality clashes

between Hoffman, Benton and
screenwriter Stoppard. Well, Billy
Bathgate is hardly a disaster. On the
contrary, this is a rather entertaining
movie, beautifully shot and with a
couple of very arresting, enjoyable
performances.

It’s only a shame that Billy Bathgate
never quite fulfills its great potential
which is largely attributed to its
predictability. However, in all fairness,
Billy Bathgate is fun to watch, and ina
drained, stagnant '90’s Hollywood,
that actually registers’ as an

achievement.

A Double Dose Of Poe

George A. Romero and Dario
Argento are two of the biggest names
in small horror films, and the very
idea of these two talents collaborating
on a single project is enough to make
genre fans salivate: What's amazing is
how the result of this melding of the
minds could possibly be so dumb,
amateurish, and non-frightening.

Adam Meyer

Romero’s credits include Monkey
Shines and Creepshow, but his
tombstone will have the legend
“director of Night of the Living Dead.”
Italian filmmaker Argento has
brought such utterly bizarre movies as
Suspiria and Creepers to American
shores. Considering these two men’s
talents, Two Evil Eyes is an unfortunate
case of the whole being less than the
sum of its parts.

The first segment of the movie is
Romero's adaptation of "The Facts in
the Case of M. Valdernar." A treasure-
hunting woman named Jessica
(Adrienne Barbeau) is married to the
very old and very wealthy Valdemar.
She and her lover, the doctor, concoct
a scheme to swindler Valdemar out of
his money using hypnosis.

Then the old bastard dies, and
Jessica and the doctor must pretend
he’s alive for two more weeks (until
they get the rest of the money). They
bring him down to the basement of
the Gothic style house (of course) and
store him in a coffin-like freezer.

Turns out the old man looks dead
but isn’t, not quite. Next thing they
know he’s talking without moving his
lips, and the movie descends into
utter stupidity.

The camera work is as uninspiring
as in.an episode of Monsters, and the

script is dreadful. Somehow the
actors’ professionalism and the quick
pace keep it interesting—for awhile,
anyway. Romero must have done a
good imitation of one of his own
zombies during filming, because this
looks like the work of a film student.

In "The Black Cat,” photographer
Rod Usher (Harvey Keitel)—if
nothing else, Argento knows his
Poe—is bothered by his girlfriend’s
(Madeiline Potter) feline. It’s obvious
that their relationship is deteriorating,
and there are suggestions she may be
a witch. Rod tortures the cat in the
name of art.

When the girlfriend finds out, she
decides to leave him, but Rod kills
her, shoves her in a closet, and builds
a wall—with shelves, no less—to hide
her body. The cat reappears, and Rod
kills it again, but you can’t keep a
good cat down. Ceca ae

As anyone familiar with his work
has come to expect, Argento’s
screenplay is weak and disjointed.
Unlike Romero he overcomes the
flatness of his own writing with
diverse camera techniques. The dream
of the witch trial is stunning, and
contains hints of the director’s best
work. However, at seventy minutes
this is far too long, considering it’s
plot is barely strong enough to
support it for a half hour.

What it comes down to is whether
you'd rather pay seven bucks to see a
couple of horror greats badly
underachieve in Two Evil Eyes, or stay
at home, find a comfortable chair, and
read some Poe.

Unlawful Knowledge at the Knick

Van Halen’s concert at the
Knickerbocker Arena on Wednesday,
October 23rd was an amazing
performance of old and new classics.

Lance Vallis

Opening the show was the intense,
hard-driving “Poundcake,” followed
by “Judgement Day.” Lead singer
Sammy Hagar then addressed the
crowd and said, “I know it’s been a
while since we’ve been here; I’m not
gonna apologize though, instead of
apologizing we’re just gonna play for
a real long time.” Lead guitarist Eddie
Van Halen tore into the opening riff of
“Runaround” off his newest album,
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.

“We played at the Hard Rock Cafe
today,” Hagar said after the song.
“There were about 300 people inside
and 500 outside. We're a little
sobered up now.” The band then
played the OU812 hit “When It’s

Love.”

Van Halen was in good spirits that
night, constantly joking to each other,
such as when Eddie untuned
Sammy’s guitar in the middle of a
song or when Sammy whipped Eddie
with an American Flag/banner
during a guitar solo. All in good fun,
of course.

Although the band was a little
erratic in their execution of material,
they continued to prove for the most
part why they are considered one of
the most influential bands in rock and
Toll today. Sammy's voice was as clear

and as in-tune as ever. Eddie, perhaps =

not as fluent as he once was,
nevertheless skillfully strutted his
stuff. Drummer Alex Van Halen and
bassist Michael Anthony were in fine
form as well.

Each band member also gave their

own solo performance. Following
“When It’s Love” was a drum and
bass solo. Michael Anthony

completely revolutionized one’s
previous notion of slap bass. His style
would more appropriately be called
pound bass.

Sammy Hagar sang a song entitled
“Where Eagles Fly,” a soft acoustic
number, definitely a highlight of the
show.

And, of course, there was Eddie.
For twenty minutes he played much
of his solo work ranging from the first
album to the last. He combined the

| soft, subtle “316” with the chaotic

masterpiece “Eruption,” plus a few
more of his own little riffs and licks.

After jamming through some more
songs like “Panama,” “You Really Got
Me,” and Hagar’s hit “I Can’t Drive
55,” the band retreated backstage,
only to return moments later for their
encores, the anthem “Jump,” followed
by “On Top of the World.” A
fireworks display concluded the
show. Van Halen proved they know
there’s only one way to rock.

Tonight We Improvise’- A Play Within a Play

On Saturday night, I decided to go
see Tonight We Improvise, at the RPI
Playhouse. I wondered why I went to
see the play in the first place. Ah, my
suite mate was in it. That still does not
excuse this from being an objective
review. Hell, this is what you get for
entrusting art to the hands of future
engineers (that might explain why the
scenery was done so nicely).

Jani Kim

The play was written by Lugi
Pirandello, the Nobel Laureate. It
centers on actors trying to employ a
new technique of improvisation in
their next play. They were actors
playing actors who were playing
characters for their play, so one can
sense the confusion about to settle in.
The play within the play deals with a
typical Sicilian relationship, the
husband being jealous of his wife.
This husband is so jealous of her that
he isolates her from her own family,
and from singing (something for
which she has a passion). When she

learns that her own sister made it as
an opera singer, she becomes
convinced that she should have been
the one. Struggling with her past and
how her husband treats her, she

unfortunately, he just got tomatoes
thrown at him. Secondly, the overall
cast is lacking. Most of the actresses
were so inexperienced that 1 wonder

The whole play is vomiting
stupidity...Heck, if I want to pay someone
to bore me out of my wits, I'll go to my
physics lectures.

collapses, and so does the actress
portraying her.

Throughout the entire play, the
playwright shifts the mode of reality
between the actor's world of
confusion in improvising and the
world of the play for which these
actors were improvising. He seems to
point out the life-like side of theatre.
The whole play is vomiting stupidity
all over the place. First of all the
director shouldn’t have chosen this
play. This is such an innovative and
delicate task that only few can
successfully get away with,and

when the audition took place. A few
of them were good, like the two
leading players and a few minor ones.
Humor was also carried out nicely by
The Character Actor playing a drunk-
happy man who is over powered by
his wife.

The play wasted its innovativeness
by overusing the planted actors in the
audience. They became too
distracting. This was while the
director in the play launched a 15-20
minute lecture on the connection
between theatre and life. Heck, if I
want to pay someone to bore me out

of my wits, I’ll go to my physics
lectures.
The scenery, the costumes, and the

props were elaborate, but
unnecessary.The scene shifts were
just time-consuming .

The play did incorporate a cool
night club scene using a scrim. The
mood created was something like the
one from The Fabulous Baker Boys.

The last thirty minutes seemed to be
going well, focusing on nothing else
but The Leading Actress and The
Leading Man. The emotions involved
were building up intensely for the
climax, except... the climax never
came- not until some time later. The
play lost its last chance of redeeming
itself because of a dragging moment.

Tonight We Improvise is incoherent. It
has too many things going on at once.
At some points that was intentional,
but often I was trying to figure out
what the core of the story was. Little
scenes that had meaning in the script
were handled poorly so that I found
myself questioning their role in the
play.

Billy Falcon
Pretty Blue World
Polygram Records

While listening to this CD it is
amazing how many different
musicians were brought to mind. I
thought of John Cougar Mellencamp,
Tracy Chapman, Bon Jovi, Huey
Lewis and the News, but most of all,
Bruce Springsteen. This is kind of a
tribute to him, but as much as Billy
Falcon would like, he’ll probably
never attain the same status. Unlike
most artists, I doubt this would
disappoint him. According to the
artist bio on the inside cover, he is
happy with this album and proud of
its content, wanting little else from his
music.

The music is pretty simple, and all
the songs focus on love or some kind

of relationship.’ There are no
spectacular guitar riffs or profound
political statements, just
straightforward rock.

Most of the songs are pretty much
average, but a few seem to stick in
your mind. The first track, “Power
Windows” is one of the two or three
songs I truly liked. It tells the story of
two teenagers in love, who've “Got
no power windows/got no power
breaks/don’t got no power
nuthin’/but they’ve got what it
takes...they got the power of love.”
The lyrics won't win any awards, but
the song conjures up a great image,
and its got a chorus you'll sing to
yourself while walking to class.

The fifth track, “Die Twice,” is
another song people can relate to and
a chorus you'll hum without
realizing:-It:was one of his faster

tunes, and reminded me a lot of
Springsteen, but just fell short of the
Boss’ quality.

He shows good range in the
different styles he plays. His best
slower songs include “Pretty Blue
World,” “Not Funny Anymore,” and
“Love Don’t Stop.” His faster songs
include “Gettin’ Married in the
Morning” and “My New Girlfriend.”
Hints of Bob Dylan and Chapman can
be found in “Heaven’s Highest Hill”
and “Oh Boy.”

He may not make the charts in the
United States, but he'll probably get
really big in Japan, but if you don’t
believe me, just listen to Pretty Blue
World.

EDITORIAL

Do we really
want to be like
Barbie?

Have you taken a look at Barbie lately? Yes
Barbie, that blond-haired, blue eyed beauty that you
lor your sister played with. She's come a long way,
since her prom partying days. Now in-between|
planning dates with Ken, she's working out at the
igym and practicing medicine, always managing to
maintain that hourglass figure and brilliant smile.

A lot of little girls grow up with Barbie. They
dress her in expensive looking clothes and whisk|
her away to one exciting adventure after another.
Barbie always knows what to say. Her shoes|
always match, she always has money and hey,|
there's always Ken to wine and dine her. Life is
perfect, for Barbie at least. But what about Barbie's
fans? The children that grow up with her? Do they
imagine themselves in her shoes, with a knockout|
body and brains to match? Or do they see
themselves as they are? A little overweight}
perhaps, with glasses, and parents that can't afford|
to buy the must have or die outfit? Most girls play
with Barbie, or something like it, when they're]
growing up. Do these unrealistic first impressions|
lof femininity have an effect on the woman to be?
Look at the world around you and the answer is|
obvious. The fashion model figure that women
long for is painfully similar to Barbie's. Even after}
all the work of ERA, most women still tend to
center their life around men. How often have you|
heard a female friend utter the phrase,“‘How will I
live without him?” And now, how many times|
have you heard a man utter,“How can I live without
her?” It happens, but not as often. That's not
because men are less sensitive than women. It is
because women are trained, from childhood, to]
please men. Like Barbie, they're taught to look
their best so a Ken will notice them. Toy
companies put out cosmetics for children, starting a}
habit that will last a lifetime. As a girl grows older,
she is swamped by a media that preaches,“You
Ineed a man to be happy!” Commercials for diet]
soda show bikini clad women, getting the guy by
flaunting their perfect body. Women's magazine|
articles tell readers what to do when he's distant and
lhow to keep the romance alive. And if by chance|
you don't have someone special, there's sure to be|
jan article for the single woman,"Six surefire ways
ito get him to notice you."

From birth till old age, women are given a role in|
life by society. Look hot so you can get someone|
good, and while you're at it, hold down a job and
have a few children. Sure, women are becoming|
more accepted in the workplace, but the victory is a|
hollow one, since nothing else has really changed
for women since they got the right to vote. Women|
are still primary care givers in a family, they're still
expected to look ageless, only now, thanks to
modem thinking, they should also have a career. In
other words, be just like Barbie. The perfect
lwoman,

Obviously, it is time for some new role models.|
instead of idealizing the woman that has it all, how
about honoring the woman that makes the best with|
what she has, and is happy. Nothing more, nothing|
less. And maybe in the meantime, someone can}
work on altering Barbie's 36-20-32, and turn her]
plastic into something a little more realistic.

COLUMN

Privileges should be equal

The sky opened to a serene misty gray. Clouds swayed
with the dancing breeze, birds sang to wake the moming
sun and a man on the corner was scratching his crotch.
His hand gracefully caressed his inner thigh and slowly
worked his way in and around the organ of choice. His
face expressed severe concentration- his mouth gaping,
liquid forming a the comers; his eyes glazed and bluebird
centered on the top of his head sang soft morning
melodies. Mission accomplished satisfactorily, he
leisurely removed his hand, coughed a nice “lungy” and
pleasantly transferred the coagulative mass onto the
sidewalk.

Alisa K. Gibsman

It was not a block past this certain fellow, that I
happened to come across him again. Of course in the
early morn my eyes were playing tricks because he had
changed hid pants from blue to green and his hair looked
much lighter in the emerging sun. But there he was. This
time, his strong, masculine finger aggressively searched
for something hidden deep within his nose and I was
lucky enough to observe him discovering it.

Every block I passed; I saw this man. I think he knew I
was watching so he changed a lot to conceal his true
identity.

When was the last time you screamed to a woman,
“Hey babe, pick me a winner?” or watch them search
around their crotch for the spot, or burp, fart or pick their
underwear out of their behind? Never (Okay, hardly
ever). Women have to maintain an appearance; they must
guard their every move so they will be seen as well
mannered good little girls; while men’s normal habits are
accepted dysfunctions.

Women continually get the raw end of the deal in a
society completely catering toward men. Women must
always hold their tongues or their burps. I’m not
condoning. burping and farting, but damn it if they can,
why can’t we! It is valued as almost a God like activity
which only men can partake.

I demand my share of burping and farting and throw in
some crotch scratching too! You would think that for all
our restraint to be prim and proper we would be awarded
with some form of recreation. Wrong. They go out and
playhockeyfootballbaseballsoftballstickballbasketballetc.
etc. We sit rocking, knitting socks or something in our
customary crossed leg position. Sometimes, we get real
lucky and they’ll ask us to come watch. Oh boy, the
thrill, “No thanks darling, I think I'll knit.”

These sport get-togethers enforce what I call the gas-
passing, fluids-flying, itchy scratchy syndrome (affects
15 and up). There’s a secret meeting place, excluding the
entire female race, where they learn new habits which
they practice devotingly.

I’m not saying there is nothing for women to do;
there’s almost nothing. There is shopping, eating (a
favorite), talking with friends, eating, talking, reading,
waiting, I’m sure there are a few physical activities,
eating and eating. There are solitary activities like
aerobics or jogging. I’ve tried organizing co-ed sport
games, but the men don’t feel that playing with girls is
serious or real. I know there are women who enjoy

playing the frail helpless role, but that is the way they
were raised. If they realized they would be taken
seriously they would learn to love the sport. I know it’s
hard-to believe, but women are competitive by nature.
Instead we watch or wait or play canasta, which I hate.

Male sports are intricately woven into our lives. What
dominates the back of every newspaper, or closes every
newscast? The all-powerful sports section. You can’t get
away from it. The minute one sport ends another begins
and they overlap forever and forever. Try talking to your
boyfriend/husband/whatever on Sundays from September
to January.

Men study sports and all it’s accompanied habits like a
cult. I’m convinced that all men are in a conspiracy
against women. They bond on every sport date, play,
artifact and issue- able to tell you who was the
quarterback in the “69 series (my boyfriend promptly
informed me in a most mechanical voice, “Jets vs. Colts.
Broadway Joe pulled the greatest upset in Super Bowl
history with his bootleg left with seconds remaining for
the gamer. I think it was 16-17, but don’t hold me to it.”
Ladies and gentleman was 1 year old at time of this
game.) Or who hit the most homeruns in major league
history (Hank Aaron- 755) My beau went on to babble
about some Japanese guy who hit over 800, but I stopped
listening) and that the shot heard ‘round the world was
really Bobby Thomson’s homer in the Giants’ pennant.
They even have their own language like heat, hoops,
four-four speed, gun and stroke . I’m convinced they’re
secret codes.

You htink I’m overreacting to this butt-picking sport-
thing? It’s just the simplest of devices used to separate
and categorize men and women.

Man-Big, mean tough guy able to scratch balls in any
condition. Up to the minute knowledge of all sports
happenings incluting complete histories, and must high-
five with any ack.owledgement, or accomplishment.
Woman- Sweet, soft thing, looks pretty, cheers man on,
always crosses legs, shaves legs and says excuse me.
These differences apply to physical appearance as well.
Guys go unshaven and become sexy. Who was the last
girl you saw with hairy legs and armpits you found sexy?
Women spend hours priming their appearance to
perfection with make-ups, hair techniques and clothes.
We roll out of bed and we're letting ourselves go; they do
and there cute and scruffy- not to mention fully prepared
to roll around in the mud or field. This all dates back to
the different ways boys and girls are treated. Girls are
supposed to be as soft and pretty as possible and wait for
a prince to gallop by on a white horse, sweeping off her
feet; unfortunately he’ll be holding a polo club.

Where are our just rewards? Doesn’t being good
deserve something? I’m tired of sitting on the sidelines; I
want to play! I want fart! Women must be allowed the
same disgusting privileges as men, so the basis for the
exclusion and separation of women is stopped Until you
see the women standing next to the man on the street, the
moonlight caressing her body as she passionately claws
her left breast and then slowly, carefully lifts her right
leg; bending it slightly upward and letting her aroma flow
out into the night mist; then, only then, can we finally can
be considered a civilized equality.

The right to die is yours

To The Editor
She wrote, if God won’t come to me, I’m going to
find God.”

On October/23, she found him... the only way she
could.

Her name was Majorie Wantz. With the assistance of a
Dr. Jack Kevorkian, whose profession is to aid the sick,
she took a lethal dose of sodium pentathol.

Her friend’s name was Sherry Miller. With the
assistance of a Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who once took an
oath to give no harmful medicine, she inhaled a mask full
of carbon monoxide.

Michigan State Senator Fred Dillingham says Dr.
Kevorkian, who helped a victim of Alzheimers commit
suicide last year, is a serial killer. He wants to, as quoted
by the New York Times, “punch Kevorkian’s lights out.”
Washington State says Dr. Kevorian is the leader of a
new medical order. They want to legalize what he did on
November 5 with Initiative 119.

I say, it doesn’t matter. Because until it happens to you
and you alone, what happened in Michigan two weeks
ago is none of your goddamned business.

They hurt. They were in a raw agony that neither you
or I have ever come close to comprehending. Majorie
Wantz was once a happily married mother of two, before
her neighbors down the street could hear her screams.
Sherry Miller was a successful teacher’s aide, before the
ten-stop and think, TEN-operations that left her in
diapers, unable to feed herself.

But, of course, we mustn’t allow vague concepts such
as PAIN, AGONY, and QUALITY OF LIFE to interfere

with what is just and right:ETHICS. If we do, after all,
we run the alarming risk of re-evluating our entire values
of medicine and human rights. Yes, more and more
physicians may be finding the continued maintenance
and treatment of horrifying damaged, hopelessly
destroyed persons to be... well unethical, But a doctor
can learn, must learn, how to brace himself against a
patient’s pain. Against a patient’s protestations. Against a
patient’s screams that this is not worth it, that eternal
oblivion has to be better than the indefinite torture of a
raving cancer or the humiliating cerebral destruction of
Alzheimer’s. Without a decade of medical schooling,
what can a patient possibly know? Nothing. The patient
knows nothing. He only suffers.

He vowed, “I shall give no harmful medicine.”

But maybe Dr. Kevorkian thought about just what
“harmful medicine” can be. Majorie Wantz cried out in
her suicide note, “I do not call this living, never getting
out - what it’s like to go to a grocery store? Or go fora
walk?” But so what? As long as she was still living-well.
let’s say breathing, that’s all that matters-she wasn’t
being harmed, was she? Her medicine- no it was doing
nothing to ease the torture, but that doesn’t it was
harmful, does it? What is so harmful about medicine that
keeps you wheel chair bound, helpless, agonized as long
as you still breathe? Don’t you agree?

How dare those two women! The unspeakable
selfishness of bringing this crisis to their families, the
medical profession, the nation, just to end their pain ! Yes
I sit here comfortably at my desk, a healthy twenty-year
old who can study, laugh, get drunk, enjoy life-but does
that mean I don’t have the right to judge two dead
women in Michigan? If I can’t judge them, who can?

Who can?

She wrote, “I Majorie Wantz, want everyone to:know
that this is my decision and no one else’s.”

May I never find myself in that hell. I don’t know what
I'll do if I am. But let it be my decision...and no one
else’s.

Vote Democrat in 1992

To The Editor

If you asked anyone on the street three or four months
ago, who was going to be the President elect in 1992, the
answer would have surely been George Bush. Every
person that I know from my father to my housemate was
convinced that Bush/Qualye 92’ would be a resounding
success and an affirmation by the electorate of the
Republican agenda. On the strength of the war/conflict
victory alone, they claimed, Mr. Bush would destroy any
Democratic hopeful. Three or four months later, the easy
Bush landslide that had been predicted is more uncertain
than ever.

Eleven years of Reagan/Bush Republicans have forced
the United States to pay a drastic toll in education, health
care and every aspect of social service. The economy that
the Republican Party has been so fond of accelerating
has suddenly dropped dead at our feet. Mr. Bush can
proudly claim to have provided our country with its
slowest period of growth in the post-war era. Many
analysts have stated that Mr. Bush will not be hurt by the
current and continuing recession, but recent opinion polls
show Mr. Bush slipping from his post-conflict high of
88% to. a 47% rating of approval.

The truth is, that when you add up the recession, the
failed goals of the Iraq conflict, the Savings and Loan
debacle and Mr. Bush’s “I’ll be on the golf coarse”
domestic policy, what you get is a dysfunctional
presidency in the tradition of U.S. Grant and Warren
Harding : A President that is open to all suggestions and
willing to go the extra mile to promote his foreign policy
while our.country suffers the brutal consequences of
presidential neglect.

As the election of 1992 approaches, Americans will be
faced with a serious dilemma. Should they return an
executive to office whose non-domestic policy and
continuing reliance on supply side economics have
proven only failure, or should the electorate send a clear
message to the Republican party by electing a
Democratic challenger? A Democrat who could
articulate and implement a progressive policy that would
substantially improve Americas declining status as the
leading political and economical force on our planet.

Believe it or not, the SUNY Albany populous can have
a say in the future of our country. If you are interested on
terminating the decade of Republican delinquency, the
University. Democrats meet every Monday at 8:00 pm in
Campus Center 361. Next Year Washington.

More efficient bussing

To The Editor:

On Monday, October 14th at 9:30 am, I waited on the
comer of Western and Partridge for a SUNYA bus. At
9:43 another one passes and at 9:46 yet another one. As
fellow students grumbled while trekking up to a more
fortunate stop, I wondered why the bus system seems to
fail in effectively providing transport to students at times
when we need it most. I find that it comes down to this:
an unreasonable inequity of bus service distribution
throughout the day.

It puzzled me that when rider flow is at its lightest
(especially in the waking hours on the morning and late
evenings), there are trails of two, sometimes three
practically empty buses which travel so close together,
they resemble connected train cars. Yet, at the peak hours
of the day, the buses along Western Avenue tend to travel
infrequently considering the increased demand. This
situation forces riders to crowd at the early stops of both
the Draper and Wellington lines, resulting in the untimely
cramming of the buses and the passing of riders who
often desperately need the service at the appointed time. I
cannot tell you how disconcerting and frustrating it is to
faithfully wait at a stop for fifteen minutes or more, only
to be left behind by filled buses one after the other.

I understand that the bus schedule has been devised to
provide optimum service throughout the day but despite
good intentions , there is a definite imbalance in the
ration of bus availability and amount of ridership by
counting each boarding passenger , students can request
that the bus garage use that information to balance out
the service discrepancy and enhance out the service
discrepancy and enhance scheduling. I urge fellow riders
to write a letter to Megan Beidl at the Plant
Administration so as to communicate the problem and
offer additional suggestions. Let’s all become involved in
getting the SUNYA buses to finally provide the adequate
service.

38% is way too much

To The Editor:

In response to Keith Starlin's November 1 column
"Germany is Not Alone”, which was written as a retort to
my October 22 column "Same Old Thing in Germany?", I
wish to clarify the purpose of my article. While Starlin
seems to think that I have overlooked the injustices done to
Native Americans and African Americans, those are
precisely the horrors to which I referred when I spoke of our
own "sordid history of racism and ethnic prejudice". Starlin
also assumes that that I am oblivious to the other waves of
xenophobia and right-wing extremism taking place in the
world, which Iam not. However, the purpose of my article
was not to ramble on about every such instance, present and
past, in every country in the last three hundred years, (for
even his list would be incomplete in that respect) but to
provide a concise and critical account of what is going on in
a specific country: Germany.

Am I picking on Germany? Yes. Germany is the only
nation in the history of mankind which built factories for the
sole purpose of murdering thousands of people at one time.
Although I am appalled by our history of slavery, and while
I am opposed to repression, racism, and xenophobia
anywhere, I think systematic annihilation (i.e. the Nazis
"Final Solution") is of a different genre. While the events
in France or Italy (the instances Starlin cited in his column)
may shock me as well, large waves of neo-Nazi violence in
Germany is for me most schocking of all. It is difficult to
judge evil, but I bet if Dante were around he wouldn't put
the men who forced the Indians off their land and the men
and women who ran the death camps at the same level of
the Inferno.

I single out Germany in memory of the millions of
victims of the holocaust, including one third of the Jewish
people, including some family members I might have
known. In effect, I single out Germany because Germany
singled out us. -In the grand scheme of things, Mr. Starlin, 1
do find it safe to say that in light of Germany's prominent
place in the world today, we can and shoul expect more
from Germany than neo-Nazi violence (400 attacks this
year), and 21% and 38% (of eastem and westem Germans,
respectively) who claim to sympathize with "radical right
tendencies" (October 1 1991 New York Times) "i.e., neo-
Nazi" to quote Mr Starlin.. Somehow, that 38% just does
not compare with one nationally spumed neo-Nazi freak
Tunning for governor in Louisiana.

World Series was full of mysteries

By Adam Meyer
ASPECTS EDITOR

The 1991 World Series had it all: come-from-
behind victories, extra-inning heroics, great
defense, spectacular pitching, awesome offense,
and disgruntled Native Americans.

The middle of the Pirates batting order proved
how difficult it is‘to hit with one hand on your
throat. But the Braves would not lie down before
the Twins, providing a fight to the very last.
Atlanta was like Jason Voorhees of Friday the
13th fame: every time you thought the Braves
were dead and buried they came back for more.

During the regular season, CBS had often done
a less-than-competent job on the Game of the
Week, but it wasn’t until they broadcast games
almost continually that it became apparent how
awful their coverage has been. Why do they keep
showing replays in the middle of the action? It’s
only confusing t o those trying to figure out what’s
going on.

And how about the two stooges, Jack Buck and
Tim McCarver? McCarver knows his stuff, and
once you've watched enough Met broadcasts you
even start to appreciate his sometimes strained
attempts at humor. A former catcher for the
Phillies and Cardinals, you know he’ll get excited
by everything the man behind the plate does.
(“Did you see Greg Olson catch that pop fly?”
“Look at how quickly Brian Harper puts his
equipment on after his tum at bat.”) In accepting
McCarver’s shortcoming, however, you also gain
a wealth of baseball knowledge and insight.

Then there’s his partner, Jack “I state the
obvious for a living” Buck. It seems he missed his
true calling; he should have been a fortune teller.
Funny how Jack can call a runner out the instant is
made or announce the ball has been caught even

Supplement is only 17 days from today.

before it touches the glove. I wonder if he reads
minds, too.

My favorite line of the Series was when Buck
said, “The Twins need to score in the bottom of
the ninth to win it.” Is that so, Jack? Anyone who
couldn’t figure that out for themselves should not
have been watching the ball game in the first
place.

As if there wasn’t enough onfield excitement,
we had the whole Tomahawk Chop controversy.
Funny how no one cared what the Braves did so
long as they were in the cellar. Now everyone’s
upset about the nickname, many saying it’s
offensive. While they’re at it, Cleveland could
rename the Indians. There are some teams in other
sports that could use renaming, too.

The World Series is full of mysterious
occurrences. Who is Mark Lemke? Where did he
come from? Did Martians drop him out of a
spaceship in Fulton County Stadium and tell him,
“You will take the Braves to the World Series”?

But that’s nothing compared to the Stepford
player, Alejandro Pena. For the Mets he was a
mediocre set-up man; for the Braves he looked
like the greatest closer to ever take the mound.

In a seven-game series, there had never been
three extra-inning games until this year. CBS was
very happy. They were not particularly pleased
with the Twins, who disposed of the Blue Jays in
five, but the Braves did everything they asked for,
forcing both the National League Championship
Series and the World Series to the limit. It worked
out so nicely for the network that I wondered if
some of the other players were bribed. A repeat of
1919, perhaps?

On second thought, with the money these guys
are earning, they would be more likely to bribe
CBS for an extra close-up or two.

Albany soccer upsets New York's #1 team

Baker earns seventh shutout; Danes headed for

SPORTS EDITOR
Cortland

A season-opening three-game
losing streak came back to haunt
men’s soccer yesterday. Despite
a season-ending 1-0 victory over
Cortland, the #1 team in New
York, and an 11-game unbeaten
streak, Albany failed to make the
NCAA Division III tournament.
Instead, it was announced
Monday that the Great Danes (9-
3-2) will travel to Hobart on
Friday for an ECAC first-round
playoff game.

Last week started with Albany
ranked #10 in the Upstate New
York polls.

On Friday, Albany traveled to
Cortland in hopes of raising
some NCAA eyebrows. by
knocking off the Red Dragons
(14-2-2), who were ranked #5 in
the country.

At the 34:55 mark, sophomore
Paul Feeney scored his team-
leading seventh goal on a wild
play. The scene was a frantic
one, as nobody could figure out
what happened or who scored
the goal, according to Albany’s

statistician. Out of a mass of
players in the Cortland crease a
ball squirted into the net.

“Tt was a kick from about 40
yards out,” Feeney said,
simplifying the action. “Crusher
(Albany’s Bill Muller) flicked it
along, and I put it in.”

“It probably wasn’t my
prettiest goal,” he added, “but it
was the most important.”

The Dragons’ fire resurfaced
in the second half. Albany’s
defense was forced to push back
a steamrolling Cortland attack. It
was the toughest offense Albany

ECAC playoffs

has faced this season, said
Albany goalie Mike Baker, who
made nine saves for his seventh
shutout this year.

“ (Albany coach Roy Pfeil)
scouted them (on Wednesday),”
Baker said. “He told us about the
quick midfielders and who to
mark.”

Pfeil must have mentioned the
name Larry Manning
somewhere during his report.
Manning caused many problems
for the Danes’ defense with his
quickness and ball-possession,

With 13 minutes gone in the
second half, Manning
misdirected a shot at Baker. The
partisan crowd collectively
gasped as the ball rolled
dangerously, parallel to the
Albany goal line, before it was
booted harmlessly away.

Twenty minutes later, Baker
had to fight off Cortland’s Mark
Stophany to get to a well-placed
Manning direct kick.

Manning was superb, but was
held scoreless.

“(Paul) O’Looney did a
fantastic job on him,” Pfeil said.
“He stifled him.”

In fact, an excellent game was
played by the whole Dane
defense, especially Mike
Avallone, who had his own
cheering section behind the
Albany bench.

“I could not name one guy

who didn’t have a great game,”
Baker said.

The Dragons, who had
previously been assured an
NCAA bid by winning the
SUNYAC conference, were
relentless on offense but were a
step slow when finishing their
opportunities.

“Our footspeed was down,”
admitted Cortland coach Fred
Taube, whose team battled
Ithaca to a 0-0 overtime tie on
Wednesday. “We may have been
a little flat, but it was not a
factor. In the second half we got
better. Our mental preparation
was more of a factor.”

The same may have been true
with the Danes, but Pfeil knew
how to calm his team down.

“The first half was very
emotional,” he said. “There was
a not a whole lot of
concentration. At the half, we
worried about containment and
defense, not lunging in, which is

Zampino remains at helm as football team wins again

By Matthew Fineman
STAFF WRITER

Albany football’s crawl towards the
.500 mark continued Saturday, as the
team defeated the Sea Gulls of Salisbury
State 20-18 in Maryland. The Danes
(3-5), owners of a modest two-game
winning streak, have won three of their
past four.

The Sea Gulls cut a 10-point lead to
four when quarterback Len Annetta
(15-24, 140 yards) hit running back
Pierre Copes (21 rushes,125 yards) from
17 yards out with 2:37 left in the fourth
quarter, A two-point conversion made the
score 20-18.

However, a poised Albany squad
successfully kept possession for the final
232,

The Great Dane rushing attack appears
to have gotten in gear. On Saturday,
Albany surpassed its season average of
202 yards by gaining 276 yards and two
touchdowns on the ground, Five different
Danes gained 40 yards or better.

After the first four games (all losses) of
the season, in which Albany managed
only 31 total points, the offense has
scored 107 points in the past four.

Steve Zampino (seven rushes, 51 yards,
three of seven passing for 35 yards)
started at quarterback for Albany for the
second straight week. Zampino helped

build a 10-0 halftime lead for the Danes,
but was taken out early in the third
quarter with an ankle injury. He is
probable for Saturday’s game against
‘Wagner,

With under five minutes left in the first
quarter, the Sea Gulls were forced to punt
from their own 23-yard line. Larry Marin
returned the short punt to the Salisbury
3h

From there, Albany needed only two
plays to grab a 7-0 lead. Zampino hit
tight end Eric Hawkins for 13 yards.
Then, Ed Lemon (seven rushes, 55 yards)
ran 24 yards for the score. Mike Malvin
added the extra point.

In the second quarter, Mike Imperato
(six rushes, 58 yards) broke loose for 38
yards on third and two, giving Albany a
first-and-goal situation from the Salisbury
seven-yard line.

The Sea Gull defense tightened,
though. On the next thrre plays, Ben
Alston (nine rushes, 40 yards) picked up
two yards, Zampino lost four, and
Zampino gained four, forcing the Danes
to settle for a 22-yard Malvin field goal.

The Great Danes held Salisbury’s
offense in check in the first half, allowing
only 47 yards rushing on 22 carries, and
96 yards in-total offense.

Freshman linebacker Chris Locci
played a big role once again. Locci,

whose season total of 88 tackles leads the
team, had 13 against the Sea Gulls. This
marked the fifth time Locci has been
game-high for the Danes.

Albany’s biggest defensive stand came
with two minutes remaining in the first
half. With the Sea Gulls facing a fourth-
and-two from the Albany 10, Salisbury
coach Joe Rotellini elected to go for it
instead of a short field goal. The Sea Gull
ballcarrier was stopped cold for no gain.

“That turned out as maybe the biggest
play of the game for us,” said Albany
defensive back Dan Ornstein. “They
challenged our defense and we were
ready for them. If they had kicked a field
goal it’s an entirely different game.”

In the second half, Salisbury marched
its first possession to the Danes’ 19-yard
line, but Copes, who gained 119 yards
rushing in the second half, fumbled the
ball away on a second—down carry.

Albany was in a charitable mood and
fumbled the ball rushed right back two
plays later.

Tony McCray ran it in from nine yards
out to put Salisbury within 10-7.

Jaan Laap (nine rushes, 29 yards, three
of 10 passing for 35 yards), Zampino’s
replacement, then led Albany on a quick
eight-play, 65-yard touchdown drive,
aided by a 15-yard personal foul against
the Sea Gulls. Laap kept an option nine

‘kick)

yards for the touchdown with 4:13
remaining in the third.

The teams traded field goals in the
fourth before Copes’ (eight catches, 98
wards) late touchdown gave Albany a
ware.

For the Danes, turnovers were not as
big a problem this week. Albany lost one
fumble and allowed one interception. In
last week’s win over Norwich, Albany
had four turnovers.

On Saturday, Albany will host Wagner
College at 1:00. Wagner’s rushing game
accounted for 310 yards in a 26-13 win
over C.W. Post on Saturday. The Danes
will have to look out for running back
Woody Davis, who rushed 32 times for
151 yards and two touchdowns.
