“These cuts involve Albany's contribution

O'Leary said. Originally, the Board of

number of positions cut had (o be increased

All final decisions concerning the budget

whole issue of the budget now rests before

Three questions must be solved by the end of

While NYPIRG goes to court to defend its

students will go to the voting booth to vote
on a referendum to either award NYPIRG a

to allow NYPIRG to put the proposed in-

Arab and Jewish Students discussed their disputes Friday
during @ meeting convened by Director of Afro and Afro:
American Studies, Frank Pogue, eight days after a political
and cultural clash at the World Week Ethnie Block Party

The meeting, first in a series of forums, was an oppor-
tunity for the Revisionist Zionist Alternative and the Arab
Student Association to present their grievences, in hopes of
preventing any more incidents like the one which occurred
during the World Weck Block Party,’” sald Pogue.

Pogue called the meeting “a very fruitful hour and a half
session,”” and said the forum “focused the discussion on
things fo come,'? He added that he felt that communication
between Arab and Jewish students had been improved

Conflict arose March 4 when RZA members protested in
front of an ASA cultural display objecting to a poster
Which RZA Exegutive Secretary Glenn Mones called ‘a
symbol of Jewish hatred," The poster featured a likeness of
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and a Star of David
along with pictures of dead Palestinian civilians, According
to Mones, the poster was removed by a member of RZA,
and was returned {0 Pogue the following day after Mones
received assurances that the poster would not be
redisplayed by the AS

Mones said he felt that the Jews were being criticized at
fan event where cultural information, not propaganda,
should be displayed,

At the meeting the ASA, represented by President Zaki
Saleh and members Jassim Khalaf and Mohammed Kayed
presented a letier summarizing their grievances with RZA
and the campus in general

According to Kayed, the letter covered four main points
first, that the university has failed to evaluate the status of
the unknown RZA member who removed the poster on
display; second, that the ASA as a small group is suspicious
of its security on campus; third, that the dispute over what
contitutes cultural display and what is political propaganda
be resolved; and fourth, that they feel the ‘attack’? on their
display ‘‘should not happen in a school in this country."

More specifically the ASA charged that “every year
when we try to exercise our fair minimum rights of peaceful
assembly and freedom of expression we are subjected to
harassment, racial slurs and on occasions physical in-
timidations,"" but Kayed was hesitant to cite particular ex-
amples.

The ASA appealed to the committee to insure their safety
and to protect their constitutional rights as tegal residents

said,

Responding to ASA calls for a statement of university
position, Pogue stated, “I think it's my observation that
the university doesn't feel that the in
sign down should be ignored, 1 think the actions...
ing people over the table are a way of preventing that sort
of thing again,” He also said that he feels the two groups

of the university in regard to establishing a lasting dialogue
belween the Jewish and Arab communities on campus.

According (o Kayed, a last minute problem occurred
Wwhen it became known to the ASA that representatives of
both campus Jewish groups would be present at the
meeting, Because each group was invited to send two
representatives, Ki id ASA member Sami Massoud:
felt that the Arab view would suffer from unde
fepresentation, and an appeal was made to Pogue, Accor-
ding to Kayed, Pogue agreed “early Friday morning’’ to,
allow the ASA a third representative at the meeting, Mones
sald he’ was surprised by the appearance of the third
delegate at the meeting, but said that it was “a minor
point’ and added that we made no protest whatsoever,”

Miller summarized possible long term objectives of sa}
ing that overall, a dialogue helps groups to understand a

Four students
host cable TV
sports show

in Renssalaer

By Paula Maute

Dubbed as “the only comedy sporis show
around," four SUNYA students host a TV
sports program on WRAC, Channel 16, @
public access television station in
Rensselaer,

Larry Weissmann, Mitch Koffler, Jody
MeDonald, all seniors and Larry Hackel, a
Junior, host "Sixteen Alive Sports,’” an
hour-long TV talk show aired Monday

at 8 pm. The program is carried
(0 audiences in portions of Albany,
Rensselaer, and Columbia counties, but is
not aired in the city of Albany.

“Sixteen Alive Sports,"” set in a panel
discussion format, reviews weekly sports
events, both local and national. TV viewers
call in throughout the show with sports
questions or comments. Larry Weissmann,
an economies major who conceived the idea
for the show, explained, "we ad-lib most of
the program.” Each member of the panel
gives an opinion’ or analysis of whatever
sports topic comes up. "We work from a
basic agenda covering major sports events
of the week," Weissman added.

Sixteen Alive Sports!” is reminiscent of

satire. On air, the foursome pursues a cons-
tant banter of irreverent jokes; they throw
objects around, play with Rubik's Cubes
and in general, they appear to have a good
time doing the show. Mitch Koffler, an
English major, commented, "I love to get
humor into everything humor and
sports are « delightful mix."* Weissmann
believes that by keeping the show light and
funny, they attract a wider audience in.

Safe Place helps comf

"By Caryn Miske

In this country, approximately 50,000 lives
are claimed annually by suicide, But this
statistic of the American Journal of
Psychiatry does not account for the fact that
there Is more than one victim when an in-
dividual takes his or her own life,

Today, according to a recent New York
Times: Magazine article, one of the largest
public health problems is not the prevention
Of suicide, but the alleviation of stress and
guilt in the survivors, a process known as
es a-legacy of self

postvention. Suicide te
hatred and mental torment which can lead to
pliysical exhaustion, migraines, hypertc
sion, ulcers, colitis, and even death, Suicide
may also establish a destructive model of
behavior to imitate, Suicide survivors have a
statistically greater risk of committing suicide
than other people.

Safe Place! is a group of eight (o ten
people who come together to share their emo-
tions with others who are having similar
agonizing pain, Karen Wasby runs the group,
which was started last September, while
Wasby was a relurning student at SUNYA,
Since then, she has gained her undergraduate
degree in sociology. Wasby was asked to. be
the coordinator of the group by Samaritan, a
suicide prevention organization with which
she had previously worked

The meetings are closed to outsiders, ex:
plained Wasby, because the survivors want to
be able to speak frecly about their feelings;
having others present may inhibit them, “If
you found your father dead in the cellar,’
Wasby noted as an example, “'you might feel
awkward sharing your experience with others
who can not relate since they have not been in
that sort of situation,”

The unwillingness to talk openly about
suicide is widespread, Wasby said, resulting
from historical and religious taboos, which
explain why anguish, recrimination, supersti-
tion and fear surround the subject, Suicide
still stigmatizes the victims as well as the sur-
vivors, Friends may seem uncomfortable, not
knowing what to do or say.

“Then someone dies after a stroke, fri

of the victim's family immediately send con-
dolences,"” Wasby pointed out. "But when
someone commits suicide, people are at a loss
for words of comfort.!However, in (his
situation it is detrimental for the survivors to.
be cut off'and isolated from others, she said,
adding that love and support from friends
can play a major role In the recovery process
of survivors.

The first emotion which they usually ex
perience is shock, according 10 Grief After
Suicide, a pamphlet by the Mental Health
Association, Suicide survivors may feel
numb, denying the death of their loved one,
although shock can also be healthy, proice:

choice a totally personal matter, He does,
however, say that it is wise to ktlow
something about the trends in the field one is
interested in, stich as computer knowledge,
Computers have permeated all fields and
Knowing this and about other trends will help
guide career explorers as to what skills may
be helpful.

Seniors heading for the job market, with
oF without a job at this point, are still anxious
to enter the job mark

Rhetorle and Communications
Heidi Huffield said she's apprehensive,
although she's “very anxious (0 get out of
school and into a new situation."*

Mark Makowsky, an accounting major,
agreed: “I'm apprehensive, but I'm also very
excited (0 start on a new lifestyle,"
Makowsky Just recently accepted a job with
Arthur Young, a New York accounting firm:

“1'm optimistic and excited’ said Steve
Larratiee, Computer Sctence major, who Is
still Interviewing and searching for a Job.

"1 can't Walt {0 go out and work,!’ sald
Gilliam Grosewald, another accounting mas
Jor, who is sending out letters and interview
ing, "1 want to apply what I've learned."
Grosewald found a lot of competition for
Jobs, as did Makowsky, who added, "1
found myself in competition with people
from other schools as well as other Albany
grids, Inteviewers told us that they are cut~
ting back and not going to as many schools,"*
Grosewald sald, which increases the competl-
tion,

Computer Science major Rich Pyle is “up:
tight about the Job market, bul looking for
ward.” Most seniors, like Pyle, are concern:
ed about the job situation bul not about thelr
‘own capabilties; confident in themselves but
unsure about what fies atiead for them, Most
of them are tired of school and ready to
graduate,

“1 Want {0 get out (0 work and start doing

AL

Ost people are tired of hearing about

it. For about the past two years, all

they’ve been hearing is “El Salvador,

el schmalvador,”” Even the Pope’s visit to

Central America aroused little enthusiasm

— except for the hundreds of thousands of
people who turned out to hear him speak.

We North Americans might be tired of
hearing about revolutionary movements,
but for the people who live in Central
America, it’s not so boring. Even though a
civil war may last for years, you doesn’t lose
your interest so easily when it’s running
your life,

The Reagan administration isn’t so bored
with El Salvador, either. A month ago the
president certified that the government had
improved its human rights record. This
congressionally-mandated certification was
a step toward continuing aid to the military.

Last week he proposed a huge increase in
military aid, and may be considering a
change in the status of military advisors in
El Salvador. Now they’re not supposed to
be in combat, but this change would allow
them to lead the El Salvadoran army.

This proposal for increased aid is based
on the idea that the Salvadoran army can
defeat the rebels. This has been the premise
for years of military support for the regiem,
and the war continues. Occasionally, the
rebels will claim a battle won or the army
will claim the end is near, but nothing really
has changed.

This military solution is no answer. It has
been the excuse for adventuristic actions like
the planned invasion of Nicagaragua, and
support for other repressive regiems in the
region such a Guatamala, The view of most
independent observers is that no one can win

' Bored to death in El Salvador

a military victory in El Salvador. The
FMLN has too strong a hold in the coun-
tryside, and the government has too stronga
hold of the cities,

With the architects of Vietnam back in
power, a political solution is unlikely to be
sought. Some people in Congress will con-
tinue to oppose such military aid, but it will
be the backbone of Reagan’s Central
American policy, He can get away with it
because he thinks that El Salvador is no
longer an issue — that people are bored with
hearing about more death squad murders,
more army battles.

Unless people continue the pressure
against aid to repressive governments,
Reagan will get his wish. It may not seem to
be the most pressing issue of the day to us,
but to the people of Central America it is
life, Or death,

Freedom from coercion

Eight SUNY students (Including the author) are challeng-
ng the use of mandatory student activity fees 10 fund the
New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), an
ideologically-oriented lobbying group. The basis of our
cern in bringing suit is clear: a fundamental violation of
individual rights occurs When a student is forced to support
4 political group he or she philosophically opposes, As
Thomas Jefferson cogently observed: ‘to compel a man to
furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opi-
nifons which he disbe fi annicaly

[Thomas W. Carroll

From the time the clas» action lawsuit was brought in
Federal District Court several weeks ago, NYPIRG and the
Albany Student Press have obfuscated the central issue
(that is, the unconstitutionality of coerced financing of
NYPIRG) with commentary based on personal attacks and
distortions of fact. The need has arisen to introduce into
the current dialogue a forthright discussion of the questions
that have been raised,

What precisely are the eight SUNY students seeking by
filing this lawsuit? We are seeking three things: first, a re~
fund of over one million dollars in past collections of fees
to the students who were forced to pay the fee to NYPIRG;
second, a halt to all future forced collections of NYPIRG.
fees; and, third, payment of punitive damages by
NYPIRG, NYPIRG according to an ASP article receives
$1,8 million in voluntary contributions, grants, and pro-
gram income, Student political contributions to NYPIRG
should be voluntary also, If NYPIRG does indeed represent
student concerns, it should have no trouble in gaining stu-
dent contributions without resorting to coercion,

What are the student plaintiffs not seeking with this
lawsuit? We are not seeking to restrict NYPIRG's right to
exist on this and other campuses nor do we seek to limit
NYPIRG's ability to organize and speak out on any
political issues. NYPIRG's efforts should not, though, be
funded with proceeds from mandatory student fees. As a
practical matter, with the $1.8 million involuntary con-
lutions that it currently receives, NYPIRG would still be

able to advance its agenda without any fufds from the

mandatory fee, Only NYPIRG's ability to expropriate our

personal money is being challenged. i

Does the fact that students vote on NYPIRG funding ina
referendum every several years make thelr use of man-
datory funds constitutional? Absolutely not! The United
States Constitution is the supreme law of the land not
SUNYA referendums. The Surpeme Court has consistently
struck down referendums adopted by voters whenever these
conflicted with constitutionally-protected rights, ‘The
reasoning: simple, Our founding fathers, fearing the
powers of the state and of an unchecked majority, sought
to provide protections for individuals against (among other
things) political coercion, Our constitutionally-protected
right to be free to support or oppose political issues or
groups cannot be taken away by a student referendum. In
short, a referendum cannot overrule the Constitution,

But, don't SUNY students like any other association of
‘people have the right to band together and tax themselves
to support groups? Aside from the problems with
ananalogy between the way NYPIRG is funded and the way
taxes are usually levied, neither taxes nor student funds

may be used for Unconstitutional purposes.
Of political groups is unconstitutional,

But, aren't the student plaintiffs represented by a legal
foundation that is supported in part by corporations who
have been on the other side of NYPIRG on a variely of
issues? Despite the emphasis of NYPIRG and some others
on ad hominem altacks against us and our legal counsel,
the assertions are simply irrelevant. Whether NYPIRG’s
funding mechanism is constitutional is the only real issue —
the issue that NYPIRG has interestingly failed to address,

Doesn't this lawsult strike a blow to “academic
Sreedom''? On the contrary, the lawsuit strikes a blow for
the doctrine of academic freedom, According to the doc-
trine of academic freedom, what a professor teaches in a
classroom or pursues through research should not be sub
ject to external ideological control, For, if anything, the
university must allow the free, uncoerced discussion of
ideas, The umbrella of academic freedom, though, must
also extend {0 students. To be logically consistent,
defenders of academic freedom must be at the forefront of
the effort to eliminate coerced student financing of par-
ular political opinions, The current policy is blatantly in-
imical to academic freedom,

Why should students of all political persuasions support
the position of the eight students who brought the lawsuit?

Forced support

All students should object (0 coerced funding of NYPIRG
Whether NYPIRG'S positions are right or wrong, whether
they are supported by a minority or majority, inevitable
constitutional violations arise from thelr f
mechanism, As the Supreme Court observed in a 1976 deci
sion, ‘*an individual should be free to believe as he will and
++, Ina free society one’s beliefs should be shaped by his
mind and conscience and not coerced. . .””

In summary, with our sult, we seek to protect indi
political freedoms of every student whether a Rep
Democrat, conservative, liberal or any other political per

of assembly is a Constitutional right we clearly uphold. To
infer, ina very subtle manner, that it is rightists who made
such threats is an Unfounded supposition, as well as being
throughly unwarranted. In fact, it does not even deserve
this gractous response.

Itis important for those who are following this case not
to make the editor's wrong assumptions about the suit: (1)
The complaints are not directed at NYPIRG as an
organization (2) The issues raised are not a partisan, or a
right-left, controversy, as the editor tried to make ap-
parent, Political ideology has less than no bearing on this
case, (3) The right of NYPIRG to exist is not at question,
nor is their right to use campus facilities a concern. (4) No
one questions NYPIRG's right to promote its own ideals,
and its positions on policy questions is completely irrelevent
to the suit, (5) What is our real conctrn pertains to forced
financing of an ideology. The right of an individual no! to
support a group with which he opposes is a right so basic as
to be an implied part of our Constitution, 1 iy with this
question we stake our grievances.

Now if anyone would care to address this issue it would
be encouraged, I sincerely hope incidences of bomb threats
¢ not used as an introduction to the article, however, for
this tactic is an uncalled for inference that merits the anger
of anyone with decency,

Shadow of despair

To the
St, Patrick's Day is approaching. It is a special day for
the Irish filled with drinking, merriment, parades, and of
course, smiling blue eyes. But when you're out that day at
the Grinch or wherever you may be celebrating, take a
moment to reflect on Ireland, Behind the beauty and hap-
piness lurks a shadow of despair which is caused by being
invaded by England for over 800 years. The banners that
frequent Fifth Avenue on March 17 sum it up: England,
Get the Hell out of Ireland, England docs not belong in
Ireland, never did, and never will, Its presence not only
divides a country, but curses its inhabitants with real pain
and misery. Every time | visit Ireland and am stopped by
British soldiers for identification | feel a great surge of in-
describable pain and angry outrage. Since I'm blessed to be
an American 1 encounter no problems, That respect for
‘America should be used in behalf of Ireland, In the 1800's
an Irish poet wrote these words:
This, Patrick, is my quarrel with thee
That every enemy of thy flock is saying
That thy ears are not ears that listen,
That thou art not troubled by the sight of the people,
That if they did trouble thee thou would'st not deny thee.
Be with us nevertheless with thy strong power
Make our enemies (0 quit Ireland forever.
Although 1 do not expect divine intervention from Saint
Patrick, Ido expect the Unit Hin thi

Lowering the boom

To the Editoi

1 was glad to see your article “Business 1s Booming"? in
the March 11 issue in which a colleague and personal friend
of mine, Dr, Frank Kolmin, was extensively quoted.
However, hie appears to have been misquoted about one
item.

In referring to the loss of three faculty members last year,
Dr. Kolmin is cited as saying ‘'some of the teachers were
not given extensions to thejr contracts or tenure and had to
leave," Two of the three already had tenure and the third
Was serving on a term appointment not yet up for review
Since the three are still in this geographic area, this corree-

Setting the record

To the Editors

In conversations with students on campus, I have sensed
4 confusion about who the Israel groups are on campus,
and what they do, To the best of my knowledge, let me set
the record straight

As far as 1am aware, there are two Israel groups on cam:
pus; Students For Israel (SFI) and RZA (Revisionist Zionist
Allernative), As an active member of SEI, 1 would like 10
describe essentially what SFI does and how itis organized
SFI can be distinguished from RZA in a few basic ar
Firstly, SFI is a multisfaceted organization, whose purpose
is fo serve all students who are interested in the political
social, cultural, and various other aspects of Israel, Avcor
dingly, we have subcommittees concerned with each of
these purposes, Many of our activities have been political
(ie, Dr, Stephen Berk speaking on U,S.-Israeli relations
during Israel Awareness Week) because this is what most
people are interested in, but we are nor strictly a political
organization, SFI does not espouse any particular
philosophy. In this respect, we are to be distinguished from
RZA who is affiliated with Betar, the youth movement of
the Herut party and the newly formed Tagar.

There are a few general philosophies SFI does have:

> A devotion (o educating students about Israel and the
importance of U,S.-Israeli relations.

> Providing assistance to those who want to go to Isracl

to travel, work, study, oF live,
» Insuring that people are not easily ‘taken in
anti-Israel campus groups and the local press
SFI is a committee of the Jewish Students Coalition:
Hillel? Through Hillel, different committees representing
different Jewish interests are united organizationally, sen=
puis. Jewish unity,

by the

ding a message of Jewish unity to the &
in all of its forms, is crucial to Jewish survival. Historyshas
proved this again and again. RZA is not affiliated with
Hillel, and therefore does not have any orgainizational ies
with SEI. This does not mean that SFI does not cooperate
with RZA. SFI shares the general committment RZA has
toward the State of Israel and in opposing anti-Israel pro:
paganda, and is willing to and has cooperated with them on
ents

special programs and

So, | hope this gives those of you who were confused a
better idea of the Israel groups that are here at SUNY-
‘Albany, Now that I have set the framework, the rest is up
toYou, It is your obligation as Jews and Americans to learn
more about Israel and to protect yourselves against the
organizations on and off campus that perpetuate propagan-
da, It is your obligation as Jews'and Americans to stand
and be counted as active supporters of Israel on this eam-
pus and after you graduate, It is your obligation to go to
Israel, and through your experiences decide how you fit in.
The resources on campus exist, use them! Don't walk past
the SFI or RZA tables in the Campus Center, stop and see
what its all about, Go fo a lecture or program, Get involv=
ed!

One existing way

To the Editor:

The past few monttis two student organizations who
generally do not interact with each other have worked
together in efforts to bring an educational program 10 this
campus, The organizations are J.8,C.-Hillel and the Gay
and Lesbian Alliance, The program is; “Jewish Identity ay
Gays and Lesbians!, (0 be held this Sunday, March 20th it
200p.m. In Campus Center 375,

This program fs an educational forum, 1 is not meant 10
egate, reject or offend anyone of anything, Its only pur-
pose is 10 inform. This event presents ant opportunity for
Jews, non-Jews, gays and non-gays to learn how Jewish
ys and lesbians choose 10 unite separate identities into
one, For many people the idea of Jewish gays and lesbians
is new, even contradictory. Then there are people for whom
the idea of Jowish gays and lesbians alfirming their identity
is refreshing, a glimpse of light

The speakers, who are members of Boston's gay and les
bian synagogue (Am Tikva) come to inform, not to convice
anyone that their lifestyle Is the way, but rather that its
one existing way, It should be understood that they do not
lim (0 speak from a Halachic (Jewish Law) perspective,

Open exchange

To the Editor:
‘Asa SUNYA alumna and as someone who looks forward
to the educational opportunities which World Week pro-
vides, 1 was greatly disturbed by last week's events,
However, I was even more troubled by the two letters that
appeared in Tuesday’s edition of the ASP,
The poster displayed by the Arab Student Association,
depicting the September massacre of Palestinians with
Prime Minister Begin and the Star of Dayid in the
foreground was simply a reminder (0 everyone of the terri-
ble tragedy, 1f anyone had bothered to translate the context
of the Arabic wording on the poster they would have found
the statements We won't forget, We won't forgive."”
Hardly racist or anti-Semitic remarks,

When the Star of David is used on the Israeli flay onis af
fixed on its fighter bombers it ceases to be a religious sym
bol and instead becomes a political one, If the religious
symbolism of the Star of David is 10 be preserved then
perhaps it should not continue to be displayed on vbjecty of
‘1 political or military nature, | have many tines seen
posters of the Holocaust with the swasiiku to symbolize the
Navi regime. Lest most readers are nut avvare the swastika is
also an ancient Christian symbol of the cross which was
prevalent among many of the Eustern rite churches and
Which was adapted from the ancient Hindu symbol for
peace, Does this imply’ that the use of the swastika on
Holocaust literaiure denotes anti-Christian or anti Hindu
sentiments? | doubi anyone would agree.

[think that Mr.(s) Frank and Weintraub need 10 learn’
how (o differentiate between legitimate criticisms of
al attacks of a people because of

country's policies and r
their relizious beliefs. If all criticisms of Istael and its
leaders are (0 be stifled for fear of being labeled anti-semitic
jt would mean that they should enjoy an exemption whieh
ho other country or leadership ean claim.

In addition, both writers fell compelled to attack what
they perceived as the bigotry or anti-Semitism of the Arab
Student Association's (which in itself is contradictory, since
‘Arabs are also Semites) poster by displaying their own
bigotry. Le. Stephen Frank's remarks that the burning of
ihe American flag is part of Arab culture — as if the burn-
ing of the American flag is part of the morning ritual of
every Arabls life, As for Mr. Weintraub's sarcastic com
d not justify the Palestinian raids on
ism and anti-Arab feel-

ments, he m
children’s nurseries, 11 reeks of
ings, to say the least, Mr, Weintraub's statements were par-
ticularly hypocritical in view of the offense he takes for the
altack on Mr, Begin’s standing as the Israeli chief ex-
ecutive, It would behooye Mr. Weintraub to look up Mr.
Begin’s vita to find that the man who grew up to be prime
minister is responsible for the massacre of 240 Palestinian
men, women and children at Deir Yassin in 1948 and for
the death of hundreds of Palestinian children since becom~
ing prime minister

I think that the open exchange of ideas, more open-
minded evaluation of what is being presented and said, and
a desire to change the conditions of our world would be a
more fitting response and would more aptly fulfill the true
objective of World Week.

tend SUNYA. He feels the admissions office doesn't
explain this well enough to potential students,

But the university has just established a system of
providing personalized information to minority ap:
plicants, These students will be supplying information
and answering questions on both academic and non-
academic concerns,

The Admissions Office, Hart added, will also be
sending mailings with information on a variety of pro-
grams and services.

“We're irying to give students a great deal of aiten-
tion, to respond to their information needs," said
Hart,

Additionally, Martin said, +

with them on the application process, We're going to
{ry {o make admissions and these groups aware of each
other."

certain

Hart explained there were several problems limiting
minority enrollment in the past, not the least of which
was identifying applicants’ ethnic origin, While
students had the option of stating their race on enroll:
ment forms, there was no such question an the SUNY
wide application forms before this past fall

Associate Vice Chancellor for Educational Services
Dr. J. Norman Hostetter, working out of SUNY Cen
tral Administration, said’ while the federal Office of
Civil Rights Hiad asked that the optional ethnicity ques
tion be added {0 application forms in 1977 or 1978, it
took until last year for the idea to work its way

Indoor trackmen take third at Union Invitational

STAIF WRITER

The Albany State men's indoor
track team took third place at the
Union Invitational fast Saturday,

Rochester with 104, Albany State

It Was a breakthrough meet for
the Danes in many ways. All three
of Albany’s relay teams ran season-
best times, two school records were
set, and several individuals came
through in the clutch rather unex-
pectedly.

Conspicuous among these was
sophomore Noel Woodburn, who
rani a very gutsy leg of the 4 x 800
meter relay. His split of 1:58.3 was
the fastest Albany time all’ season

The controversy that way present last reason really

South Carolina had legitimate claims (o NCAA bids, but
they really did not get cheated, as Bradley did a year ago.
So, we go into this year's tournament with the highest
quality most evenly matched tournament yet, and picking
winners is none 100 easy

The East region is probably the weakest of the four
even though it is probably strongest during the season,
but Virginia, Boston College and Villanova are elsewhere.
Tt seems strange that St, John’s, the Big East champ, gota
harder draw than acuse, the fifth place team in that
league. Both Rutgers and SW Louisiana, one of which
will play St. John’s, are probably better than Ohio St., the

Most observers would probably jump on North

is where an unexpected team can come through and get a
trip to Albuquerque, The team? How about the Rutgers
Scarlet Knights, @ team that anonymously grabbed
twenty-two wins, The Knights were in the Final Four in
1976, and their coach, Tom Young, is one of America's
best, 1 think Rutgers will play in Albuquerque,

Various times, but without Ted Kitchel, 1 don't think they
can do it, especially if they have to play 23-game winner
Oklahoma in their first game. 1 look for the Kentucky
Wildcats to emerge victorious in the Mideast, as Melvin
Turpin has developed into one of America’s finest big
men; so much so that Sam Bowie has hardly been missed
Kentucky will join Rutgers in Albuquerque

Lousiville fans were upset that the Cardinals did not
play in the Midwest, so that their first two games would
be at Freedom Hall. But the Cardinals are in Evansville
leaving the Midwest as the most abstract of regions.
Georgetown is always a threat, but the Hoyas have a
distinct weakness inside as soon as Pat Ewing sits down,
and with big men like Keith Lee, Steve Stipanovich, John
Pinone and Akeem Olajuwon in the region, Georgetown
seems an unlikely candidate. Houston is now number one
in America, but that’s a hinderance in March, The
