The Albany State Great Danes defined
the word resiliency Wednesday evening al

first half, the Danes roared back onto the
court for the second half and poured in 42
points en route to a 62-0 win over their
conference rivals the Oneonta Red
Dragons,

Were relatively quiet in the first Half, but
both shot well in the second, Croutier fed
the list of scorers with 16 points, while
Dieckelman contributed 14 points to the

“In the second half,"® Croutier said, “we

Croutier played aggressive defense the

coach Don Flewelling. “You take him out

Albany State basketball head coach Dick
Suuers also praised his point guard for his
fine play, “If we had a game ball to give
‘out, {t would certainly have (o go fo Danny.
He was the only one who played aggressive
defense in the first half," he said.

Albany did not look sharp in that open-
ing half at all. The Danes were missing out
side shots and were unable to work the ball
inside on the Dragons,

History will repeat itself Saturday night
in University Gym,

‘The NCAA Division 111 runnerup Bears
Of Potsdam will invade Albany with a 1-0

Potsdam-Albany is more than just a fight

"Is a tough game and a lot more in-
tense,"’ Dan Croutier said. “We haye to be
really up for the game."”

Albany will enter the game riding the
crest of a five game winning streak while
Potsdam is looking to bounce buck from a
tough 45-44 loss to Nazareth,

“The team that wins will have one up in
the conference," Potsdam head coach Jerry

Welsh said, “Naturally both teams are very
good, Every game in the SUNYAC is im:

“It is very significant in the SUNYAC,"
Albany head coach Dick Sauers said, “The

The Bears will have to contend with
Albany's patient ball control offense.

SUNYA athletic
program could
be upgraded

to Division |

By Mark Schwarz

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

A preliminary proposal by a special
SUNY task force could lead to an
upgrading of the SUNY athletic program
from Divison III to Division 1.

The proposal calls for the institution of a
mandatory student athletic fee to support
the sports program and would remove the
control of athletics funding from the stu-
dent government into the hands of an
Athletic Board of Control appointed by
each campus president

The Special Task Force on the Quality of
Student Life also proposed that state
schools be allowed t0 give athletic grants in
aid, provided no state funds were involved.
This would reverse a long standing SUNY
policy

The proposals of the task force meeting
were leaked to the Buffalo Evening News
on January 25 by an anonymous source,
SASU Vice President and task force
member Scoit Wexler confirmed the
source's reports as being “very, very ac
curate,”

The proposals were approved by the 27
member task force and a written report is
being drafted, according to Wexler. “The
written report should be out in a day or
(Wo,"" Wexler said, adding that the report
will then be sent to thé task force members
for their comments and reactions. An of
ficial report will not be released until the
ask force officially meets again sometime
after May {

Chaneellor Clifton Wharton, Jr. has the
authority to approve, reject or modify the
report, before any of the proposals recom:
mended by the task force could take effect
Wharton must then submit the plan to the
SUNY Board of Trustees for their ap-
proval, Its passage by the Board would
allow cach individual campus president (0

“There has been no proposal from the

member and SUNY administrator Dr
Ronald Bristow, ‘The task force has taken.
no official action at this time. Its still very
much an internal process. A preliminary
draft of what may be the report is being

“I's unfortunate that all this hit the

Campus Center ‘dish’ receptor

By Amy Kilgus

The 13 foot “dish” on the iop of the
campus center is actually a telecommunica:
tions receptor that will be receiving satellite
TY signals beginning this afternoon during
the department of continuing studies’
teleconference.

The receptor will be picking up TV
signals sent by the University of Nebraska
and American University from the Westar
satellite, according to Dean of Continuing
Studies Richard Dressner, who is in charge
of the program,

Albany is part of the first university
established teleconference network, Sixty
five universities across the country have
joined to form the National University
Teleconference Network, There is one
center in each state and some of
states have two, aecording to Dressner

Of the sixty-five universities, all have the
capacity to receive, Dressner says Albany

‘of Iowa has charged that the College

Republican National Committee, has ac-
cepted money and other favors from the
Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Unification,
Church in an action he called ‘an alliance
of expendincy’’ which threatens to erode

Specific information concerning links
between the College Republicans and the
Unification Church originated within the
Ripon Society,” a moderate Republican
group, The leak, according to Bill McKen-
sie, spokesman for the Society, comes from
a former member of the College
Republicans who desires anonymity, The
informant stated that the College
Republicans in Washington asked the
Unification Church to help fund a
demonstration rally and petition drive 10
protest events unfolding in Poland,

MeKensie is confident in the validity of
his information despite heated denials by a
former leader of the College Republicans,
Grover Norquist. "We have no reason 10
believe that the source is not reliable.”
However, he added, because there are no
hard facts nor legal proof, both groups
would have to be audited to obtain more
solid evidence.

David Cohen, spokesman for the College
Republican group at SUNYA, said that he
has heard nothing about either the Ripon
Society or the Unification Church having
any influ he Republican party here
at SUNYA, We certainly are not b
funded in any way by the Moonies,"* he
said, According to Cohen, the College
Republicans here are starting fresh this year
with a new administration and hope to do
more fundraising than the group has done

in the past in an effort to improve the
group,

The Ripon Society is a nationwide
group, said McKensi¢ which was fofmed in
1962 at Harvard to ‘provide a voice for
young people and progressives in the
Republican party,’" There are now about
2,100 members, There have not been any
recent or important confrontations
en the socicty and the New Right, he
said, but there has always been a difference
in. political stands, especially concerning
U.S. military policy.

In the January issue of the Ripon
Review, the society's news letter, an exten-
sive network of interaction between Moon
and the Conservative New Right was outlin:
ed stating that top fundraisers for the Ni
Right and College Republicans conducted a
nation-wide subscription campaign 10 aid
Moon’s newly organized paper, the
Washington Times. According to Me \-
sie, these accusations, made by the society
are still valid, and there has been no new
evidence (0 suggest that they are false,

Everything means less than zero

fter his first two years, President Reagan rated
himself a ‘10."" That number seems a little

high when you consider the statistics of the

right’s two years in the White House,

Unemployment hasn't been higher since the
Depression, Every month the Labor Department
Statistics on joblessness rise in every state, With no
light at the end of the tunnel, many workers give up
the search for work, This frustration eliminates them
from the unemployment figures because they are no
longer actively seeking the jobs that don't exist, It’s
safe to guess that the true percentage of unemployed
workers is at least several points higher than the
Bovernment claims,

As the resources of the unemployed are steadily
drained, Reagan claims that they're just freeloaders,
As their families find their way to the souplines and
Reaganvilles, he sugnests they look at the want ads.

Tens of thousands of people turning out for a few
dozen temporary government jobs attest to the fact
that jobs just aren't out there.

Reagan's got a great solution for youth
unemployment, though. He has suggested reducing
the minimum wage for young workers to around half
of what It is now, The premise Is that employers will
jump at the chance of exploiting people working at
ridiculously low wages. And they will. Teenagers
peid the micro-minimum wage will quickly replace
Workers paid the mimimum wage, Employers get
labor at half the cost and the unemployment rate re-
mains the same.

Another idea the right likes is the flat rate (ax. In-
stead of the present progressive tax, where people
n afford to pay more tax do so, Reagan would

like everyone to pay the same rate, The family scrap.
ing by from month to month would pay the same pet
cent of their annual income as the corporate ¢x
ecutive with a six-digit income. Of course, if you
make enough money you'll still be exempt from taxes
because you can afford the lawyers to evade the IRS

He approved the “human rights” record of E)
Salvador last week, The rightist death squads are sii
torturing and murdering hundreds of people all over
that country, but Reagan believes that they've made
some improvement, A cleric touring El Salvador
recently likened that certification to applauding a
mass murderer for only killing 20 people a certain
month instead of 40,

Reagantalk doubletalk

America meet Reagantalk, Reagantalk lead
America, Reagantalk!?!2 What the hell is Reagan-
talk?

Reagantalk is America’s newest from of political
mumbo jumbo, Born from President Ronald
Reagan's desire to arm America to the hilt whi
fessing peace as an end, Reagantalk now spans the
American scene (0 include unemployment and the
tecession,

Robert Martiniano
‘Actually, mialk should be known as
This man is our President,
and We should learn to be less derogatory
when referring to him.

Reagan has waltzed us down the yellow brick road on
a way to a better America only to have the bricks
tainted with the blood, sweat, and tears of human
suffering, Excuse me while | haye a musical in-
terlude, And when 1 die, and when I'm gone,
there'll be one child born in this world to carry on

Reagan's demonostrated his impartiality in dealing
with all Americans, The suffering transcends all
social, religious, racial, sexual, and economical
boundaries, Yes, Virginia, America is the land of
equal opportunity

Herbert Hoover, in running for the Presidency in
1928, coined a slogan, ‘A chicken in every pol."
Reagan's slogan for the 1980 campaign should have
been a sufferer (or two, or three, you get the
message) in every household, Definitely more ac
curate and much more descriptive of Reaganomics

To be fair to Reagan, we really cannot blame the
Prez for everything which has gone wrong in his ad
ministration, The first crisis Reagan faced and dealt
with was the china fiasco, dish china that is, and run-
ning the country has been a struggle from that point
onward,

Cabinet officers have made their contribution to
the poliferation of Reagantalk, With Watt,
Weinberger and Haig doing their impersonation of
the Three Stooges (sorry about that Moe, Curly and
Larry), Reagan must have had his hands full,

James Watt, secretary of the Interior, has a “kick
tem when they're down'’ attitude about life. Why
pick on the American Indian and their reservations?
And then to equate reservations with socialism which
failed. A double whammy

Every decent American detests socialism, and any
reference to socialism puts American: them

. AS good capitalist/christians (duck the
lightening bolt from the heavens), we have been
brought up to detest socialism as much as we detest
remarks about our mothers,

Weinberger is another character. Temperance is
nota word Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of
Defense, has ever heard. Why show restraint? is
Weinberger's motto, The more the better, And if we

are to be better, why not be the best? Unfortunately,
being the best militarily is a circumstance of percep-
tion rather than substance.

We need to judge the military arsenal of America
in relation to the Soviet Union using the mulii-
criterion of bomb tonnage, accuracy, number of
warheads, number of missiles, and mobility of the
missiles, not just judge by the number of missiles,
and then attempt to convince the American people
there exists a window of vulnerability,

And then there is Haig, self-appointed god to the
American people. “Since Haig has departed the

ation, it may not be sporting to in-
clude him in this, Yet, Alexander Haig, former
Secretary of State, did help formulate Reagan's
foreign policy, Remember all those little revolutions
and wars in Central America?

Haig and Reap» joined forces to formulate a
coherent (2) foreign policy. Simply put, if-a nati
deceived and so dedicated supported the American
way, corrupt politics, oppressive capitalism,
football strikes, we, as a nation, would support the
regimes running these nations. And in return,
America could export the American way of life to
these downtroddened, desolate peoples. Corrupt

Vehemently denouncing, early in his adminisir

Reagan's most tragic example of Reagantalk is the
massacres of the {wo Palestinian refugee camps

this definition prevailed. After the sixties sentiment of free love, the

hedonism. Hence, the “me generation”. The idea of marriage
became as popular as Nixon and the divorce rate tripled. Women
| wanted to work, not reproduce, and men waited longer and longer
before even thinking about settling down, much less starting a fami

Megan Gray Taylor

The image of marriage we all grew up with was intrinsically tied to role defini
tions that up until 1960 were relatively well defined. Now those classic marital
roles have been destroyed both by economic and social factors leaving marriage
5 an instituition in flux. Marriage has existed in one form or another since 9000
BC, but never before has it been put to the trial {t now faces

Why do we choose someone for our mate, and can we ever be sure it will last
forever? Although the potential choice of mates Is unlimited, we carry certain
preconceived fantasies and social influences that effect our choice, Western
civilization reflects the Judeo-Christian marriage model which has four basic
elements; (1) marriage (s an institution ordained by God for man’s good and His
glory; (2) the two persons marrying become one; (3) the union Js a permanent
ne established for companionship and for the procreation and rearing of
children; (4) the marriage partners are commanded to love and to be faithful to
each other

We have also been really influenced by the romantic model, Just like in
those trashy novels and sappy movies, there Is a real sociological phenomena
described as; wo persons drawn together by thelr feeling of love for each other.
they are faithful to each other as tong as their mutual love feeling lasts; and they
‘are under some obligation to separate if their love for each other dies, Children
and @ permanent commitment are not within the bounds of this relationship.

We are caught. then, between the new freedom of the last twenty years and
the confinements of our social conditioning, In light of sexual freedom, redetint-
tion of roles for men and women, a shift In the economic structure that forces
many women into the work force rather than allowing them the primary care of
children (if they choose), have added strain to the newly married couple never
experienced by our parents or grandparents, And then there is the question of
children, Traditionally, the idea of having children served as a rallying point for
& marriage. now it can be the ultimate point of conflict

Wether traditional or avant garde, common law or cannon law, wo people
fake a vow that makes their relationship no longer voluntary but compulsory.
The “I Do" can be the first sign of death for a marriage whose partners are not
ready for such a step. One of the greatest influences on the outcome of your

marital adventure could be the fate of your own parents marriage, Were they
happy? Were they traditional in that your mother stayed home with the children
and your father was the sole support, and therefore dominant member? Were
you an only child, were you an abused child? Alll these are contributing factors to
your choices

There are no absolutes. but fear should not be part of the anticipation of mar
tlage, There should be no barriers, no games, all the defensive garbage we have
collected through our lives must be put aside. Issues of family, responsibilities
career goals all should be well discussed before marriage But enough of th:

As the divorce rate skyrockets. children seem to be the brunt of much of the
anger, frustration, arid despair of the family, Caught in a thicket of rules govern-
ing custody and child support, the institution of marriage, and its new counter-
part, divorce members of a family seem to be playing games without fron-
tiers, According (o a study of preteens by Frank Furstenberg of the University of
Pennsylvania (Newsweek, Jan. 10, 1983), half the children of divorce have not
seen their father in over a year. Only one-third of the divorced mothers recieve |
child-support payments, an epidemic of lawlessness thal is rivaled, perhaps , on:
ly by income tax cheating. So where does that leave the child? Isolated,
alienated, and in constant search for the love that they seem to be missing whilo
their parents battle each other, until one eventually wins over the other Often:

Then there was the summer when,
my mother went to Cleveland to take
care of my sister's first-born. We went
to the drag races, bought an old car to
fix up and played ball in the back yard
It was a great summer. | was 13
ly in September my father
became ill and they put him in the
hospital. This didn't seem like that big
a deal, Years before he had contracted
‘a staff infection during a relatively
routine back operation. Practically
every Year after that he landed in the
hospital for a while, Although he
always got very sick he always pulled
through somehow, dust the year
before, they had come up with a new
treatment for his condition which in
volved pumping massive amounts of
chemicals through his system. It had
seemed to work, because this year the
problem was not with his back but with
his Intestines — a blockage in his large
intestine to be exact

When I came home from school the
day after the operation | noticed
something seemed to be wrong with
my mother. She blurted out that my
father had cancer, that it was
spreading and the doctors said there
really wasn't too much that they could
do about it, But she also told me not to
listen to them — and not to tell
anybody about it because he was go-
ing to get better and things were going
to get back to normal

I took her words to heart. | went to
my room, Lying on the bed, I made a
deal with God, He wasn't going to die
No matter what the odds were, he was
going to fight off those cells that were
eating away at his life — even if it had
to make medical history.

On my part there were certain
things | could do which would aid in
his recovery. When | did my dally
paper route, there were certain spots
where | would avoid stepping on the
cracks in the sidewalk andcertain

amount of time in order to keep my
part of the deal,

During the next month or so my
mother spent a lot of time at the
hospital so 1 was left home alone, | on-
ly went to see him two or three times

but his condition was constantly on my
mind. More and more of my time and
energy was directed toward doing litle
things that I believed were going to
save my father’s life

In October my father came home
This only reinforced my belief that he
was going to get better. He watched
the World Series and even went down
to his lumber and hardware business, |
remember watching him pull in the
driveway thinking things were back to
normal

But trouble was around the corner.
In late November it was back to the
hospital, The doctors said he had
already lived a month longer than was
expected and they said this was it. A
couple weeks later my mother and |
were watching TV on a Wednesday
night. Around 10:30, we got a call
from the hospital — this was it

When we got up there he was
breathing heavily through congested
lungs. His 6-foot frame weighed about
70 pounds, His skin bore a distinct
yellow color. He was in severe pain.

All kids are subjected to pain when

As the child grows into a young
adult. thoughts of abuse are forced in
to back recesses of memory. Reconcit

When the times of hurt are forgotten
and dredged up only when necessary.
Often parents who suffered “battered

However, the cycle of abuse is often

learned as basically as how to tle your,
shoes

The traditional approach used up to
the early 1960s did little but
perpetuate violence. Abused children
raised in foster homes or state institu
tions often grew up with an over
whelming need for love and a lack of
familiarity with parenting techniques
that led them to mimic their parents’
abuse. Kempe’s work at the University
of Colorado Medical Center in Denver
Was one of the first in the country that
stressed education (*reparenting") and
counseling. Parents seeking love they.
never had from their parents could

find support from social workers and
other professionals instead of deman-
ding it from their children, The pro
gram stresses that abusers generally

* aren't mentally ill, but have a strong

need for sympathetic mothering they
never received as children.

Other approaches were initiated in
the early 1970s to help parents
beyond official agencies. Parents
Anonymous, founded in 1970, has
hundreds of chapters in cities around
the couniry, including Albany. Other
self-help groups formed along similar
principles have been in service for over
a decade

These approaches to dealing with
child abuse have only been parily suc:
cessful, They are very time-intefsive
and only benefit those families whose
parents either are identified or identify
themselves as prone to violence and
afe willing to confront their problems.
Many abusing parents see their
violence as an altempt to disipline or

teach their children and don't
recognise the damage they are doing
Counseling approaches such as
Kempe's are costly, and government |
spending for such programs has been
drastically reduced. Authorities such
as Dr. Vincent J. Fontana of the New
York Foundling Hospital suggest that
“The probable future tendency of
abused children is to become the
murderers. robbers, rapists
perpetuators of violence In society,”
but combatting child abuse and crime
at their source — child abuse — is a ||
lower governmental priority

and

than

prison construction
Also, others see child abuse as
symptomatic of fundamental ideas
children are exposed to, especially
concerning violence. David G. Gil, |
professor of social welfare at Brandeis |}
believes that prevailing social values of |

Healthy response

To the Editor:

In response to ‘Healthy Questions’’ ASP

December 10, 1982.

The Student Health Service always welcomes well

documented criticism and constructive suggestions,

Criticism based on heresay is useless, unfortunate-

ly. If the critic has had only one visit to the Health

Service and that on the same day the piece appears in
the ASP, it seems reasonable to assume (1) that he
has better means than most of us of by-passing the
ASP deadline or (2) that the article was written
before his visit to the service and thus based on
heresay,

Actually we have a very low referral-out rate, far
from a “ship ‘em out" policy, On the other hand we
are prudent and take full advantage of the excellent
medical resources in this area when we feel it is in the
patient's best interest,

T urge any eritie to come in and discuss matters of

at any time,

—Janet Hood, M.D.
Director, Student Health Service

A quality fan

To the Editc

I would like (0 point out the great injustice your
publication ts promulgating — even if itis in no way
intentional, Bach week you identity a person whom:
you consider to be the “Great Dane Fan of the
Week," usually the individual who has drawn the

most attention to himself through the use of a

costume banner, ete, If unflagging support, loyalty
and love count for anything, I must submit the name
of Leslie Bennie’ Siegel as He oulstanding Great
Dane Fan. For the past fifteen years the Albany State
manager has led cheers and chants with
bullhorn and bell at hundreds and hun
Dane sporting events, at home and on
the road, The University community owes this man
an enormous debt of thanks, and I would appreciate
your furnishing a proper salute,

—Kenneth S, Ross

When the Great Dane Fan of the Week was in-
troduced in the sports section on Oct, 1, 1982, Bennie
Siege! was presented as the model fan, The article
read, “Bennie Siegel, the number one Dane
Cheerleader for almost two decades, is a perfect ex-
ample of the quality fan."

had a champion.”

‘Albany claimed sixth place finishing one
point behind Oswego and four points out of
fourth place, Vie Herman's third place
finish combined with Rob Spagnoli and
Daye Averill's fifth place and Ed Gleason
taking sixth place propelled the Danes to
their high standing. Spero Theofilatos,

{AP) Governor Cuomo unveiled
his 1983-1984. state budget

federal aid that will be flowing
through Atbany over the course of

That will be coupled with new
federal aid from the nickela

The Cuomo plan also calls for a
Water Finance Authority with
bonding capacity to finance water

Cuomo is calling on the Legislature
to provide more than $500 million,
in bonding authority and outright

building of 9,000 new multifamily

Units in rural areas and 6,000 units

Workers “in areas of abnormal
vconomic distress," such as
Lackawanna, where cutbacks at Bethlehem
Steel this year are expected (0 put as many
as 7,300 people out of work.

However, Cuomo also proposed the
climination of nearly 14,000 full-time state
jobs — about seven percent of New York's
workforce, About half of those workers
would simply be fired, while an estimated
3,400 employees would take the state up on

Cuomo went even further, however, by
calling on the Legislature to approve a five-
year program — beginning in 1984 — which
would eventually reduce the local share of
Medicaid costs from 25 percent to 10 per.
cent, Currently, the federal government
picks up 50 percent of Medicaid costs with
the state and counties equally dividing the
remaining $0 percent

Other health care proposals by the
Cuomo administration are bound to draw
controversy, such as the proposal to place
partial financial responsibility on children
for the costs of their parents’ eare in nurs-
ing homes in order to reduce state Medicaid
costs, Another proposal would require

Cuomo proposed a range of new fees and
taxes, ranging increased taxes on.
cigarettes, cigars, hard liquor, wines and

to sharply higher car registration and
driver's license fees, Taxes would also be
imposed on the price of a haircut, a movie,
‘a game of bowling or a round of golf. And
the price of gasoline could go up by two
