Clinton first presidential visitor in 46 years
Meets with Cuomo, Moynihan, and Swygert 1 in Ballroom and RACC

By JEN MILLER
News Editor

For the first time in 46 years, a
sitting President of the United
States visited Albany Thursday,
bringing with him scores of
Secret Service, hundreds of
police and, for the thousands
who managed to catch a glimpse,
an undeniable thrill.

Appearing with Governor
Mario Cuomo and Senator

Patrick Moynihan, both up for
re-election Tuesday, Clinton
held a teleconference on technol-
ogy and education, followed by
an invitation-only Democratic

‘party rally and a private “VIP”

conference for what press releas-
es referred to as “250 digni-
taries.”

Saying he was “very excited to
be in Albany”, the President
began the teleconference, which
was broadcast from the Campus

said a Rochester 8th—grader,
Marquis Woolford, describing
his project.

Although most of the event
consisted of the audience listen-
ing quietly to the video presenta-
tions, Clinton used the opportu-
nity to champion his administra-
tion’s platform.

“We have a commitment to
educational excellence for all
students,” he said, “including
students who come from poor

Fraternity erupts violently Clinton visit

By KEVIN DEVALK AND
STEPHANIE BETH FINDLING

Bad blood between the members of the
’ de-recognized fraternity Kappa Sigma
Alpha and the Inter-Fraternity Council
recognized fraternity Sigma Alpha
Epsilon was the basis for the arrest of two
SUNYA students.

One unidentified student was arrested
on Colonial Quadrangle at 12:30 am on
Friday for Disorderly Conduct, Resisting
Arrest and a forged ID. He allegedly
became involved in a dispute which
developed into a physical altercation. The
student was identified as an acquaintance
of Kappa Sigma Alpha. The students
with which the fight ensued were brothers
in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity.

Later the same evening, Ricky James
Bisagnano, 19 of State Quadrangle was
arrested and charged with two counts of
first-degree robbery, one count of first-
degree burglary, one count of third-degree
criminal mischief and one count of third-
degree assault.

Bisagnano and ten to fifteen other
males all linked to Kappa Sigma Alpha
allegedly kicked in the door of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon member Mark Simpson’s
apartment located at 92 West Street.
Simpson, 20, was attacked by the men.

According to Albany Police
Department Lieutenant Robert Wolfgang,

Center Ballroom at
about 11 a.m.

The teleconfer-
ence linked sec-
ondary school stu-
dents from Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse
and New York City.
It consisted of pre-
sentations by stu-
dents . explaining

how they had used ~

computer technolo-
gy and various
multi-media
resources in school.

be cool to show

and difficult backgrounds.” He
then outlined the White House
agenda of expanding the
Headstart program, creating an
apprentice program as an alter-
native to college and increasing
access to college by allowing
longer loan—repayment periods.

“All of our children can learn
and should be expected to learn,”
he continued. “The best days of
our country are ahead of us if we
take advantage of the informa-
tion explosion...we’re trying not
to do something for other people,
but to allow them to do things
for themselves.”

Unlike the fairly staid. telecon-
ference, the rally at the RACC
was a raucous affair, providing a

vent for the high spirits of local
party faithful. Democratic candi-

_dates atthe event, including

Karen Burstein, who is running
for Attorney General, and Stan
Lundine, the Lieutenant
Governor, and their supporters,
were clearly buoyed by recent
gains in the polls by the
Governor.

Both Cuomo and Clinton gave
vigorously partisan speeches,
trumpeting their own successes

opponents. “People are trying to
drive us down from our highest
aspirations, they’re trying to
make us give up, they’re saying
we can’t help those kids in the
ghetto, we can’t have universal
health care, we’re not good
enough, we’re not strong
enough, we’re not smart
enough,” began Cuomo. “But

Simpson claimed that about 10-15 males
entered his apartment and hit him on the
head and chest. Comments were made
such as, “This is what you get for messing
with the Kappas.”

Two additional men, Peter Doran and
Joe Zurl, were also attacked by the men
because they were identified by the mob
as members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

In addition to attacking the three stu-
dents, furniture was smashed and a Sigma
Alpha Epsilon banner was stolen. It was
reported about $400 in damages occurred.

University officials have acknowledged
that both incidents were related, the sec-
ond beint a result of the first.

When commenting to the Daily Gazatte
on the incident, University spokesman
Joel Blumenthal stated, “Because the stu-
dent (Bisignano) was arrested off campus
the incident is under the jurisdiction of the
local police.” Blumenthal also added
Kappa Sigma Alpha is not a national fra-
ternity and is not recognized by the
University.

Kappa Sigma Alpha was suspended
from the University in 1992 on the allega-
tions that members were involved in a
gang rape. The suspension is in effect
until May 1996. When suspended, uni-
versity officials said “The pattern of dis-
ruptive conduct demonstrated by your fra-
ternity during the past five years (added to

The President of the
United States does not

come into town quietly.

Streets are shut down,
buildings are closed, and
of course, there’s always
all those Secret Service
people around.

University Spokesman
Joel Blumenthal, however,
said President Clinton’s
visit Thursday went “very
smoothly.” He said University
Officials had only 48 hours
notice but managed to not
have any classes cut, the
campus center remained
opened and “nothing was
canceled.”

Around 200 people were
involved in preparing the
campus for Clinton’s visit.
“There probably wasn’t a
division of the university
who wasn’t involved,”
Blumenthal said. He said
“Everything worked per-
fectly because people
worked the whole night
particularly the. physical
plant people and the house-

keeping staff. There were a
lot of people who put in a
lot of hours and some of
them didn’t even get to see
the president because they
were busy doing other
things.” He said some
coaches in the athletics
were displaced because
Governor Cuomo and
President Clinton gave an
address in the old gym and
the RACC was being pre-
pared for The Cranberries
concert scheduled for
Thursday night.

University President H.
Patrick Swygert said in a
statement “The positive
attention the university
recieved was a tribute to
the faculty, staff and stu-
dents. Everyone worked
together and helped to
make it a sucess and to put

the university in an out- |

Kathleen Wakeman,
Director of Parking
Management, said the day
had been “terrific.... I
think the campus commu-
nity was wonderfully wel-

coming to these people.... .

It speaks well of the stu-
dents. I have not seen that
kind of good humor and
general well—being in a
long time. I think the cam-
pus should be very proud.”

The RACC lot was
reserved for various politi-
cal figures attending the
rally and the media, while
the area south of the podi-

_um, the new visitors’ lot

and the Dutch pay lot were
reserved for invited guests.

_“When we ran out of park-

ing space, we told people
to park their cars on the
grass,” said Wakeman.
“We had some critical
comments from people

they usually do, but basi-
cally when people got to

would veto the bill within 24 hours after
its passage. Lampert had argued strenu-
ously against the motion.

presidential
motion for a university—wide parking
strike in six days.

The strike is set to begin this coming

first come-first serve basis. This opens up
faculty and staff parking spots to students
vehicles.

The dramatic Council action was the
culmination of a series of events that
began earlier this semester when security
officials, without consulting students,
drew up a new parking policy that estab-
lished priority parking for faculty and
staff and cracked down harshly on viola-
tions.

Aside from partially rewriting the park-
ing policy and call for a student parking
strike, the bill also empowered Stokem to
established an ad—hoc committee to
“co-ordinate enforcement of the new
(Council) parking policy” and appropriat-
ed one hundred dollars from Council‘s
Emergency Spending Line to “educate the
university community about this action.”

The campus and community media
will be notified of the impending strike.

“What we are doing,” explained
Council member Eric Lonschein “is set-
ting up parking on a first come-—first serve
basis on all gravel areas around the podi-

um and quadrangles. We have no other
choice. We are being ignored. We have to
do something to make ourselves heard.”

“We’re tired of being pushed around,”
Lonschein exclaimed at one point, “TI real-
ly feel its about item we got off our asses
and started asserting ourselves on things
we think are right.”

He was one of the co-sponsors of the
bill.

“T‘m tired of this administration going
around telling students they are not going
to listen to them and then not doing so,”
said Steve Garber, another member of the
student government.

But there was strong objection from
Lampert who argued that the bill was
unconstitutional because only state trustee
can set parking regulations and because
the bill usurped Lampert’s constitutional
power by calling on Stokem to implement
carious sections of the bill.

Lampert also felt that Council would
lose credibility by adopting the bill and
that the action would also hinder future
students—administration relations.

Lampert tried to halt debate on the
measure and then attempted to substitute
a motion that Council consider taking
legal action instead of rewriting the poli-

cy.

Solomon leads protest demonstration agains Cuomo

By THOMAS WEILAND
Staff Writer

As President Clinton and Governor
Cuomo addressed students in the gymna-
sium Thursday, Republican Congressman
Jerry Solomon rallied students and party
leaders in a counter—demonstration.

Waving newspaper clippings of local
layoffs which have crippled many local
towns, Solomon harshly challenged the
records of both Clinton and Cuomo.
Solomon said the “tax and spend policies
of the two ‘C-C Boys’,” are responsible
for the ailing New York Economy.

“New York is 43rd worst in job
growth, it’s disgusting,” Solomon said.
“I’m here to tell the other side of the
story.”

It’s his cavalier attitude which has cost
New York State more than 600,000 jobs,”
Solomon said blasting Cuomo’s record.
Solomon went on to challenge Cuomo’s
statement that new jobs have been creat-
ed this year rather than lost. “Nothing’s
wrong with flipping burgers, but these
47,000 jobs are all low—paying. What
New Yorkers need are high-paying jobs
that can support a family.”

“The flow of jobs down to New Jersey

Student rally calls for end to
racist and homophobic attacks

Student Association President Cliff
Staff Writer Lent.

The flyer, whose contents had
been the cause of great controversy
at the previous Central Council
meeting, inferred that the turning
over of Keller’s car was in some way
related to the fact that right before
the incident, “Keller had talked to
the Affirmative Action officer about
filing a grievance against Cliff Lent,”
on the basis of the fifteen violations
of Affirmative Action policy that
Keller held against Lent.

_ Although the flyer stated those
allegations, at the rally, Keller made
it clear that he was not accusing Lent
or any other Student Association
officers of the crime.

Central Council Representative
Caroline Wong also spoke at the
open mike rally. She began by read-
ing the flyer that was distributed and
ended by demanding that the
National
Organization Coalition (NWROC)
and the Revolutionary Workers
League (RWL) be reinstated on cam-
pus after their derecognition last
semester. Wong stated if these orga-
nizations weren’t reinstated, “The
semester of Fall 1994 would be the
semester we began to lose.”

A rally was held in front of the
small fountain in order to “Fight the
attack on Tom Keller and Fight all
racist and anti-gay attacks,” on
Friday, October 29.

The rally was organized after
Central Council Representative Tom
Keller’s car was turned on it’s side in
the Freedom Quadrangle parking lot.
It was estimated by the University
Police Department to have taken six
to ten people to accomplish this.

This incident was labeled as a
racist and anti-gay attack against
Keller who is an openly gay man
and a member of the Lesbian, Gay
and Bisexual Alliance as well as a
representative of the Native
American Council.

Keller opened the rally with the
playing of Mariah Carey’s song
“Hero,” and later tied the song’s
meaning with his own cause. He
stated it was a “struggle of identity.”

In the flyer advertising the rally, it
stated “The attack on Tom’s car was
not the only attack carried out on
him that week.” It referred to the
fact that Keller’s appointment as
Chair of the Finance Committee of
Central Council was vetoed by

is a slap in the face to New York,”
Solomon said. “Even my own five chil-
dren have had to move out of state to find
work.”

When asked about the vast support
shown for the president and the governor
today Solomon said. “The polls show
that for students nationwide, it’s about
50/50. Students aren’t turning toward the
Democratic Party, it’s the other way
around. High school students and college
students everywhere are joining the
Republican Party. We’re on the grow.”

When questioned about the several
hundred people waiting on line to see
Clinton and Cuomo, Solomon laughingly
replied that “birds of a feather flock
together, and well, I wasn’t invited.”

The Pataki supporters were not only
“uninvited” they were definitely unwel-
come. Their cheers for “George in “94”
and loudspeaker playing The Tax Man,
by The Beatles were met by harsh slurs
and shouts from the countless Democrats
ready for a verbal fight.
Republicans shouted such as,
“How do you spell Cuomo?

the shouting. One student, Marc

himself hoarse after an hour of yells.

Students value safety over ten dollars

By JopI ACKERMAN, SUSAN
CRAINE AND ROBIN FISHMAN

Ann Lewis, a student who works
parttime in Crossgates Mall while
taking18 credits, returned home
from work after 10 p.m. one night.
She didn’t want to make a long
walk alone. Although there weren’t
any legal spaces, Ann took a
chance and made her own parking
spot in the back of the lot. The fol-
lowing day there it was, her sixth
ticket for the month.

This is not a rare scenario on this
campus. According to Kathleen
Wakeman, director of Parking
Management, students generally
know when they are going to get
ticketed.

“There are a lot of reasons for all
the ticketing. 50 percent of the stu-
dents know they’re going to get

tickets given out. Ticketing is a
form of work study for students.
These students are sent out every-
day in shifts from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
and are required to come back with
a specific amount of tickets.

“I take my job seriously. I get
paid to not let one illegal car pass
by me, so I don’t.,” Kim Miller, the
student in charge of ticketing said.

Another problem is the sign sys-
tem on the campus. Very often the
signs are unreadable and most stu-
dents will just park wherever they
can get a spot.

“Signs are a big problem. Every
day of the week the signs must be
read because they are constantly
changing. Students scrape the
arrows off the signs and this cre-
ates uncertainty about what spots
are open for what days,” Wakeman
said.

Currently there is a proposal to

color coat the signs with decals. A
student would be allowed to park
only in those lots whose color
matches the color of the decal on
their car.

Fear still seems to be the major
reason of parking illegally.
According to statistics provided by
the Women’s Task Force on Safety,
an average of six women a week
have been assaulted since the
‘beginning of school in late August.
There is no set schedule for
patrolling the uptown campus.

According to Nancy Soanes, an
administrator with the Public
Safety Department, there are three
cars sent out to patrol each
evening. But these cars are
required to respond to every inci-
dent on campus, and they must fill
out the proper paperwork for each
incident as it occurs.

“If the patrol isn’t doing paper-
work, or helping students, then
they are patrolling,” Soanes said.

Currently the only escort project
available is the Don’t Walk Alone
program. A student either has to go

Question of recruitment
discussed at meeting

By KEVIN DEVALK
Staff Writer

The key issue at the University Senate Executive
Committee Meeting Monday was the use of university facil-
ities for recruiting purposes by the military. The discussion
was presented by President H. Patrick Swygert in response
to a memo he had received from the ROTC requesting such
use.

According to a state law now in effect, ROTC recruitment
on SUNY campuses is not allowed. The issue debated was
whether or not outside groups could come in if they don’t
reserve any facilities, and aren’t part of a
university—endorsed program.

Part of the problem is in the open atmosphere of the small
fountain area and Campus Center lobby, where many groups
come in without permission. Swygert said as long as they do
so peacefully and don’t create too much noise, then he
doesn’t have a problem with it.

Another part of the problem is that the University at
Buffalo is currently being sued for violating the law. Both
SUNY Buffalo and SUNY StonyBrook have policies con-
cerning the matter. Swygert said, “We want to be fair but to
uphold the law.”

Swygert suggested a committee be formed to handle the
matter. He said a policy is needed before winter because
then “the small fountain area moves into the Campus
Center.” A policy is expected to be in place in about a week.

Diverse forum urges student activism New course in Klingon will —
explore nature of language

By JEN MILLER
News Editor

A “Student Empowerment
Forum” sponsored by a diverse
assortment of student groups
was held Thursday afternoon in
LCs

Including members. of
NYPIRG, ASUBA, Fuerza
Latina and the Student
Association, the gathering
inspired debate and speculation
about the apathy and timidity
which can obscure the voice of
the college student.

The meeting featured Celia
Gonzalez, Political Science pro-
fessor; Leon Duke, special pro-
jects liaison for the Martin
Luther King Jr. Institute for
Non-Violence and Albany
County Legislator for the Arbor
Hill and West Hill district; and
M. Kazim Ali, vice president of

the Student Association of the
State University.

Jessica Casey, director of
Student Activities, began the
event by discussing the impor-
tance of student participation in
the up-coming elections. She
described voting as the first step
towards assuming a degree of
political influence.

“In my job,” she said, “I get a
lot of students questioning me
about rules and regulations. One
question that always comes up
is, ‘Why do we have a 21
year-old drinking age?’ And I
always say the reason is that 18,
19, 20 year—olds don’t vote. You
can’t tell me if we had 18, 19, 20
year olds voting we’d have a 21
year—old drinking age. And the
same goes for the draft.”
Mentioning the invitation-only
events surrounding President
Clinton’s visit to campus, she

continued, “We saw it today

_ down at the gym _ a lot of politi-

cal favors. And you can’t get
there without voting.”

Dukes too discussed the inter-
play between political patronage
and alienation. “What do you do
if you get in trouble? In Albany,
if you get in trouble, you better
know somebody.” Continuing,
he said, “Those who had tickets
to see the President were politi-
cally connected. If you did not
get one, you’re not doing what
you’re supposed to.”

Speaking about political alien-
ation, Gonzalez said, “I had two
tickets to see the President. And
I have two sons. And I really
wanted to see the President. But
I woke up this morning and I
thought, ‘It’s their turn. They
must go forward. They must cre-
ate change and decide what this

Klingon, the official language
of Star Trek’s Klingon Empire,
will be offered fourth quarter in
an introductory course titled
Klingon and the Nature of
Language. The course is offered
by the anthropology department
and will be taught by Professor
George Aaron Broadwell.

Broadwell, a linguistics pro-
fessor, said the course will inves-
tigate, “Parts of [Klingon] gram-
mar, word order, how various
parts of it work. We’re going to
compare that with the way other
[human] languages work.”

Klingon and the Nature of
Language will use as its text-
book Star Trek: The Klingon
Dictionary by Marc Okrand. It is

an English/Klingon dictionary,
laying out the structure of the
language and citing often used
phrases. Okrand has a doctorate
in linguistics and, before he
began working for Star Trek,
wrote his dissertation on a
California Native American lan-
guage.

Broadwell hopes to use the
popularity of Star Trek and par-
ticularly the Klingon language to
introduce students, who would
otherwise not take an anthropol-
ogy course, to linguistic. “I
would like students who are
interested in Biology or
Chemistry or Physics or some-
thing like that, [to see] there’s
actually something interesting
about linguistics.”

Pulitzer—Prize winning author speaks as part of hunger benefit

By NATALIA ARMOZA
Editorial Assistant

William Kennedy read from
his work and discussed his
progress on a new novel at Page
Hall Wednesday.

’ Kennedy participated in a pro-
gram with 800 other authors
around the country to raise funds

for local hunger relief groups.
The program, titled “Writers
Harvest: The National Reading, ”
encompassed 200 readings of
well and lesser known authors,
and was produced by Share Our
Strength. The nation wide profits
of the evening are estimated at
100,000 dollars and all local pro-
ceeds will be donated to the

Eastern New York in Albany.
Kennedy began the evening
reading two chapters from an
untitled novel in progress. The
novel is a spin-off of his book
Billy Phelan’s Greatest Game
and tells the story of a play-
wright named Edward Doherty,
who plays a small part in the
other book. The playwright in
Kennedy’s book is writing a
piece called The Flaming
Corsage about his life, centering
around a time his wife was badly
burned by a corsage that caught
fire. The story, as described by
Mr. Kennedy, continues his
telling, through several other
books, of the life of the

Irish-Americans living in
foe! Albany and life on Main Street.

William Kennedy.

After reading, Mr. Kennedy
opened himself to questions and
when there were none, he com-
mented, “If Tom (Smith) were
here, he would ask a question.”

An audience member then
asked how far along Kennedy
was in his book. Having worked
on it since 1977, Kennedy said
that he was about two thirds
done. After exploring many
avenues of telling the story, he
devoted himself to the current
version that will be finished
January or February and then
published in the Fall of next year.

Having written extensively on
Albany, Kennedy was asked
how he would describe the city
to foreigners. “Some people,” he
said, “have a vision of the city as
a dismal brothel where they
never plow the streets.” He
added, “Most people are familiar
with Albany, and I think I’ve had
a small amount to do with that.”

COLUMN

There has to be a time when those who are given the
privilege of serving as our leaders have to step down if their
leadership has failed. No more excuses. No more blaming
other people, political parties or nature. If you can’t deliver
the economic and social security a society needs to function
and progress, then it is time to step down.

For Mario M. Cuomo it is that time. Under Cuomo, and
his huge tax and spend policies, New York is becoming a
bastion of lawlessness and pervasive hopelessness.

Hernan Pavon

dollars in tax increases. These taxes are destroying New
York’s middle class; driving out businesses and jobs;
destroying the economic and educational opportunities of
millions and the lives of generations to come.

These taxes are creating a barrier for the struggling
Latino middle class. They are driving many in our
community into the poverty and hopelessness they have
worked so hard to escape. Under Cuomo there are more
than 1.6 million New Yorkers on the state welfare rolls.
There is more crime, more poverty, more despair then when
he became Governor.

Under Cuomo, we have been locked out of the jobs and
opportunity the state has created for others. There are more
than 190,000 New Yorkers working for the state. Less than
7,000 are Latinos and virtually nothing has been done to
change this. It has been an easier decision for Cuomo to
keep the masses on welfare than to create jobs and business
opportunities.

At the highest levels of New York State government
there is not one Latino who serves as a commissioner of a
major state agency. With a $62 billion budget and the power
of a huge bureaucracy, Cuomo has been unable to create any
new positive change or a new direction for progress for New
Yorkers. He has failed to create a sense of hope in the future
of our state. This is evident as more than one million New
Yorkers have moved out of the state since he became
Governor. re

Not only did New York lose over half a million jobs over
the last five years, but its economic recovery is trailing most
of the states in the Union. Why and who is responsible for
this drastic decline in our standard of living? The answer is
very clear. After 12 years in office, the finger points in only
one direction. ,

New York needs a change in leadership at all levels. New
Yorkers deserve to rid themselves of the tired, old, carefree,
overly paid bureaucrats in the State. We need new, young,
invigorated leaders. We need an end to Cuomo’s system of
patronage which places incompetent political hacks in top
government posts at a detrimental cost to New Yorkers. The
change we need to create is only a week and a ballot box
away.

No more excuses. No more blaming someone else. The
record speaks for itself. Failure should not be rewarded or
reinforced and we should make those who use rhetoric to
hide their incompetence live their words. So Mr. Cuomo,
why don’t you practice what you preach: Three strikes and
you’re out! :

Cuomo’s 12 years in office saw more than eight billion.

Recognizing the problem

It’s time to talk about Kappa Sigma Alpha.
Many people on this campus realize, and have

realized for a while, that they still operate as a_

fraternity though they have been derecognized.
This paper has reported this fact and Tuesday the
Times Union also made that clear to all the
residents of Albany with a story about the arrest of
one of Kappa’s members.

Kappa Sigma Alpha was banned from July 1992
until May 1996 as a result of the Administration’s
response to a gang-rape which occurred in 1992.
They were originally suspended temporarily for
failing to cooperate with investigation of the rape.
They were later suspended for four years for what
then Vice President for Student Affairs Mitch

Livingston called “a pattern of disruptive conduct”

over a five year period.

What makes the Kappas dangerous is that, since
they are derecognized, they don’t have to concern
themselves with following the guidelines set forth
for other legitimate fraternities. The fact that they
are “outlawed” probably makes them more

attractive to prospective new members. It presents
a certain appeal to join something that is banned
and doesn’t have to follow the rules.

This allows them to operate as sort of a gang
who are obviously not concerned with being
reconsidered in 1995 for recognition by the
University when the ban ends. They are clearly not
worried about changing their image.

The problem this poses for other fraternities is
that no matter what strides they take to make a
good name for themselves in the Albany
community, they are probably negated by a story
about a fraternity attack off-campus. Most people,
especially those off-campus, probably don’t
separate one fraternity frcm the other. To them,
one fraternity’s actions, even if they are banned,
reflect all other fraternities. Public opinion is a
hard thing to corral and for fraternities who have
tried to improve how the denizens of Albany, see
them, it is grossly unfair to see these efforts go
down the drain.

Once a week, Carl Cervini treks across
the Hudson Valley Community College
campus to meet with his Student
Association funded club.

He just finished a class, and attending
this meeting will be a welcome change
from his hectic schedule. After all, he
travels at least a half hour each way to
school.

The meeting he attends lasts from an
‘ hour and a half to two hours every week.

Like Hudson Valley Community College,

our meetings at SUNYA tend to run about
the same time.

However, our club meetings conflict
with our class times, and are often held at
inconvenient evening hours. Many of us
who want to join a club can only take
classes at certain times.

Carl is lucky. He will never have a club
meeting conflict with his class. For about
two hours every Monday afternoon,

Hudson Valley suspends classes for two
hours so that S.A. clubs can meet.

This gives every student the

opportunity to belong to at least one club

without worrying that meetings will
conflict with classes. The brief
suspension grants us a common meeting
time.

In the few clubs I have been a member

of, the most chronic problem has been
“searing up” for the semester. Questions
like “when do we meet?” to “when do we
start meeting?” and “What about
elections?” could be more easily dealt
with.
The first two questions are answered
immediately. SUNY Albany clubs would
meet for about two hours, once a week,
during a time when classes are
suspended.

The first meeting would start on the
first Monday (for example) of the
semester. The election question, of
course, would have to be answered by the
individual club. However, more meetings
could translate to having executive
officers before Thanksgiving.

This plan has one major drawback.
With all clubs meeting at one time,

anyone who would want to be a member
of many clubs would obviously not be
able to. On the other hand, we would
have a greater opportunity to be a part of
the Albany Student Association, in at
least one club, without scheduling
conflicts.

Albany should extend the suspension
even further. All professors should have
office hours during this suspended period.
An office hour time would be set up for
the duration of the class suspension, and
any other hours at the professor’s
convenience.

If all faculty at SUNY Albany had.

office hours during a class suspension,
then we would have more opportunities to
visit our professors outside of class. The
convenience alone, knowing that you
could find any faculty member for any
reason (i.e., recommendations, help with
work) at a specific time cuts the worry
and red tape of finding a professor,
especially if the problem is critical. With
all faculty on campus at one time, we
would have a greater sense of a
community as well.

Instead of feeling like a strip mall,
where professors drive in and out all day

and they come and go without regard to
students’ schedules, SUNY Albany would
interact— provided we took advantage of a
brief class suspension sometime during
the week to visit our faculty.

About two hours, once a week, for the
sole purpose of meetings, would raise the
level of interaction at SUNY. Imagine the
ease your schedule would have if your
class ended, you attended a meeting, then
you went to dinner.

Or, instead, right after class or just
before dinner, you hop around the podium
speaking to three professors because you
need recommendations. You found all of
your professors within fifteen minutes,
instead of waiting for this day or that day
to roll around to see whichever teacher
you needed to meet with.

It is time SUNY Albany had a brief
suspension in classes sometime during
the week. More students could attend
S.A. club meetings like Carl Cervini at
Hudson Valley Community College.
More students would have an opportunity
to interact with their professors. More
importantly, there would be no more
conflicts of these kind with classes.

Ping For Trouble

Or 50, 000, 000 Clinton Fans Can Be Wrong

Clinton is coming! Clinton is coming! Ooh, yeah, and “All I Wanna
Do” is on the radio—-big goddamn deal. Personally I think he was here
just to catch the Cranberries’ show but Hillary probably told him to
be home in time to catch Leno’s monologue. Speaking of the
Cranberries, do you realize Clinton spoke in the old gym because
they were setting up for their concert? America’s president in NY,
getting bumped off by some band from Ireland, and they’re not even
U2. Clinton has become the Fugazi of politicans (if you remember
Fugazi played the old gym last year, apparently they couldn’t sell out
the RACC; I guess Clinton couldn’t either. Perhaps they realized if he
spoke in a bigger arena they might have to let students in, what a
dumb idea).

So all these local news people were at school, checking Bubba out.
People seemed more interested in getting a glimpse of these news
personalities than seeing the big guy himself. However, my personal
favorite, Benita Zahn (she of the “Time to baby your baby” motto)
was nowhere in sight, unlucky me.

To make matters worse, everyone and their frat brother called me
up trying to squeeze Clinton tickets out of me. I thought those
Streisand tickets were hot, man this guy can pack ’em in. I guess Babs
gave him the idea, seeing how they’re such buddies and all. But
really, 1 was able to get Cranberries tickets, but the president? All
these people who think I don’t actually do anything during the 93
hours a week I spend at this paper (except for the guy who sent in
last week’s survey saying my section stinks but my column is
cool—he’s my new best friend) all of a sudden think I work at the
Washington Post. I have no power, I’m a measly college paper editor.
Although, I was fortunate enough to receive the new Beverly Hills
90210 soundtrack in the mail this week. This one is “The College
Years” ‘cause they’ve grown, you know? Oh, my writers are going
to have a fierce thrown down for the opportunity to review that one.

Anyway, I wasn‘t too upset about missing Clinton. I mean, without
Tabitha Soren there to ask him all the questions plaguing the minds
of Generation X, I feel lost. Tabitha has insight, style, and most of all
sass. If she were here she would have busted Secret Service skulls (is
it me or did anyone else expect to see Clint Eastwood running
through the crowd, looking for John Malkovich?) and gotten in there
in no time. She would have asked the tough questions like “Are you
embarrassed to be seen with Chelsea? Do you ever neglect to
mention to people she’s your daughter?” Or maybe she would have
asked him to play some sax. That guy can jam, man! Personally, I felt
the low point of the Clinton campaign was seeing Kenny G, a man
whose hair rivals that of Chakka Kahn for best hibernation locale for
small forest animals, telling an interviewer that he believes Clinton
has good “chops.” Chops, Mr. G explained, is the musical term for

good jamming skills. I can only hope he'll excuse me if I don’t take

him, a man who regards Michael Bolton as one of the foremost
singers of my generation, as too much of an authority on musical
agility.

So as quickly as he came, Clinton left us; I guess Gennifer Flowers
and Paula Jones could have warned us about that (yeah, that was a

| kind of Beavis & Butthead comment wasn’t it? Do you ever get

nervous when that show seems funny to you even when you're not
under the influence?). Maybe if we had gotten a McDonald’s instead
of Taco Hell he would have hung out for a while. Maybe he would
have even hackeysacked out on the podium, or gone to kegs and
eggs with AOII. I could’ve hooked him up.

And finally, as for all this discussion about Clinton wearing boxers
or briefs, as some genius asked him on MTYV, is this something we,
the public, really want to know? I find it scary enough thinking about
him sitting in the White House, running the country, the last visual
image I want to conjure up is him doing it in tighty whities (he wears
briefs in case anyone missed this meeting of the minds). His way is
Hanes his way? Who cares? What's next? “Mr. Clinton do you prefer
lambskin or latex?” “Do you like ‘Chix With Dix’ or ‘Anal
Intruders’?” I think Susan Powter said it best when she said “Stop
The Insanity!” Let’s ask some relevant questions like “Is Hillary a top
or a bottom?” Okay, that’s not the best example I could have come up
with, but you get my point.

It does seem like we, as the next generation to lead the world, are
losing sight of what’s relevant. We focus on O.J. Simpson, nipple
piercing, and Tom Cruise as the vampire, as topics of importance.
What about the unsung heroes? The Andy Richters (Conan O’Brian’s
sidekick), the Rogge, Rerun, and Duanes, the Estelle Gettys of the
world? Let’s talk about them for a while! Well, maybe next week.

The Road To Wellville Has
Many Potholes

YOU WOULD THINK THAT
with basically an all-star
cast there would be
something besides good
performers, and a few laughs to
look forward to. Wrong!
Unfortunately, “The Road To

Wellville”, produced by Alan

Parker is a huge disappointment. Set
at the Battlecreek Sanitarium in 1907,
this film focuses on the anal, and
ridiculous practices that go on at this
fanatically healthy institution for
people who are quite impressionable

Alana J. Sanford

The patriarch of this insanity is Dr.
John Harvey Kellogg, inventor of
cornflakes, played by Oscar winner
Sir Anthony Hopkins. Of course,
Hopkins is brilliant, as the health nut
freak, who enforces that there be no
casual sex, no masturbation, and no
eating meat at Battlecreek. Kellogg
believes in enemas, exercise, and
shock treatment. I truly would have
rather seen Hopkins distance himself
from his usual English characters in a
part other than this one.

Matthew Broderick and Bridget
Fonda play Mr. Will and Mrs. Eleanor
Lightbody. Eleanor drags her husband
to Battlecreek to recover, after she
took revenge against him by secretly

getting him addicted to opium. Will is
very unhappy about being forced to
change his lifestyle. Matthew
Broderick does this movie some
justice, but not much. The funniest
character is Virginia, Eleanor’s friend.
She has the lewdest, most comical
lines in the entire film. It’s ironic that
Battlecreek is supposed to be sex-free,
yet there are naked bodies all over the

“screen, and many of the patients are

cheating on their spouses, or
pleasuring themselves.

There are two subplots included.
One involves Dr. Kellogg’s antisocial
son George, played by Dana Carvey,
who does anything to get a rise out of
his father. Just looking at Carvey
makes me chuckle, although his
character is pathetic, and you can’t
help but feel sorry for him.

The other subplot is boring, and
unnecessary. John Cusack, plays Mr.
Charles Ossening, a dreamer who
wants to start his own cornflakes
company. Mr. Bender, played by
Michael Lerner, is a scam artist who
makes false promises to his sidekick
Ossening.

“The Road To Wellville” should
have focused more on the relationship
between Dr. Kellogg and his son, or
on the Lightbodys, and less on silly
storylines. This movie is pointless,
and boring at times, to say the least. If
you’re curious, wait until it comes out
on video.

Speaking In Movie Tongues

“All my filth is in alphabetical
order; this, for example, is under H
for Toy,” said Chris Knight to Mitch
Taylor. You may recognize this line
from the movie Real Genius starring
Val Kilmer and Gabe Jarret. The
reason why I choose to mention this
line is because when my parents came
up for visiting day, and saw my room,
they commented on how messy it
was. I then swiftly replied to them
with that line because I felt it was
appropriate.

Rafe Lieber

Everybody knows somebody who
speaks in movie lines, and I am
writing this article to defend those
who do, and to explain to those who
do not understand why we do it, why
we do it! “Do I stutter?”

The first case is when a group of
friends do it with each other. There is
a simple reason why _ this
phenomenon occurs. All groups of
friends have their own person jokes
and ways of communicating.
Speaking in cinematic tongues is just
another way of doing this. If one has a
strong knowledge of film and can
quote random lines that are related to
the conversation at will, than if done
properly, the results can be incredible.
For example, if you’re with someone
and your tire is low on air, and you
say something to the effect of, “damn,
my tire!,” and they say, “your tire,

what is it?,” you can easily reply with,
“it’s a round rubbery thing that a car
rides on, but that’s not important
right now!” Odds are most people
will recognize this derivation of a line
from the movie Airplane and you'll get
a laugh, and everybody feels good
when they make someone else laugh.
Of course, any other situation of
people who speak in movie lines is
really irrelevant, because if only one
person does it, and nobody else
understands, than the art form can
not take its shape, the person looks
stupid, and us, as connoisseurs of fine
movies, look bad. :

There still are those who say that
this kind of sense of humor requires
no imagination and that it is just
repeating what somewhat else has
already written or said. This is an
absolute farce, in fact, one can say that
it requires more imagination, and I
will! In a given situation, anyone can
respond in humor with something
original that comes to mind. While
some people are funnier than others,
everybody has flashes of comedy. But
to be able to search your mind for the
perfect movie line in the split second
that you have for the delivery to still
take full effect, requires a talent that
few posses, and even fewer have
mastered.

ASPects Talks To Spike Jonze, Video Director

The Processes Of Video Making, Working With The Beastie Boys, and Dealing With MTV Explained

For the past year you: ve probably
been all too aware you’ve been hearing
“Mr. Jones” over and over again. What
you might not know is you’ve been see-
ing Mr. Jonze as well-Spike Jonze that
is, almost every time you turn on MTV.
Well, it’s not Spike you’ve been seeing,
rather it’s the videos he’s directed.
Spike Jonze has become MTV’s flavor of
the year as his videos for the Beastie Boys’
“Sabotage,” Wheezer’s “Undone—The
Sweater Song,” and Dinosaur Jr.’s “Feel
The Pain,” to name a few, have garnered
the prestigious title of Buzz Clip, mean-
ing MTV is ready to thrust them onto
the public with more gusto than usual,
due to the enthusiastic response they
predict viewers will have.

Jason Black

I spoke with Jonze recently, only days
after his nomination for Billboard mag-
azine’s 1994 video director of the year
award. Scenes from his videos, like a
pack of dogs running through a band’s
rehearsal space, men driving through
Manhattan in golf carts, and a cannon-
ball running through a street, are
indicative of the silly, whimsical nature
found in Jonze’s personality. In his
teen-surfer voice he seemed to enjoy
spouting absurd comments in deadpan
style at least as much as discussing his
career. Eventually Jonze did have some
great stories to tell, even if I was never
quite sure when he meant what he was
saying.

Jason Black: Starting from the begin-
ning, how did you get into directing
videos?

Spike Jonze: From photography. I’ve
done photography for a long time. I just
kind of made the transition by accident

actually. I did some skateboard videos
and Kim Gordon and Thurston (Moore
of Sonic Youth) saw them and asked me
to shoot some stuff for a video they
were doing off Dirty. So I shot a video
with this woman Tamara Davis, she just
kinda gave me the rundown and kinda
started me on it and the whole thing. I
love shooting photos and I still do that,

but this is definitely fun. It’s cool, any-

thing you can think up, somebody’Il
say “Okay, cool, go do it.”

JB: Could you take me through the
steps of the video making process?
From the time a band comes to you,
how does that turn into a video?

SJ: As far as music videos, a band gives
you a song, you come up with an idea,
if they like the idea they say “Okay,
let’s do it.” The record company and
your production company figures out
how much it'll cost and all that kinda
financial end of it, then you put togeth-
er all the people you need. You know, if
you need 50 winnebagos then you have
a person called an art director, they‘Il
go rent 50 winnebagos. People’ll work
with a DP, and sometimes I shoot my
own stuff and figure out how to shoot
it. That’s all pre-production. Then fig-
ure out if you need extras or talent,
pick, go through casting, wardrobe,
whatever else, locations. You shoot it,
come up with a shot list, shoot it, edit it,
and send it off.

JB: Being at the forefront of your field,
how has that affected you?

SJ: I don’t know. It’s not like I feel like
“Oh my God, I have videos on televi-
sion! I’m a success.” I don’t think I feel
any more successful than I ever have,
it’s just about doing what you wanna
do and I’ve been fortunate always to be
able to do what I wanna do as far as
photography and doing magazines

with my friends, you know? I think
(success is) doing what you want to do,
that’s pretty much it.

JB: Do you have a favorite video, has
there been a great experience with any
of the particular bands you’ve worked
with?

SJ: All of them I’ve had fun making. All
of them, whether it was the last one I
did, (we did a Wheezer video and we
rebuilt Arnold’s from Happy Days and
got to hang out with Al DiVekio, he
played Arnold), that was definitely a
fun day. But it was no more fun than
riding around town in wigs and mus-
taches driving cop cars and doing
stunts and just fucking around for two
days for the Beastie Boys video.

JB: Has there ever been a band that’s
had a problem with any of the ideas
you've had?

SJ: Yeah, I guess with the Beastie Boys,
Adam Yauch. He wouldn’t wear this
one red jacket with the Canadian flag
on his chest and it was a big debate and
I told him that because it was my vision
as a director to have the Canadian flag
on his chest, I’m the artist and he had to
do it. And he said that his vision as an
artist was for him not to have the
Canadian flag on his chest. So we had
to defer to higher power, you know,
Mike D. had to actually break up a
physical fight between the two of us
where I, by accident, I apologized of
course, gave Mr. Yauch a bloody nose.
You know it was a real rock ’em, sock
‘em kind of decision making process.
But sometimes that’s the way it really
has to be, you have to get down, dirty,
and physical to make these kind of
decisions.

JB: And why was that so important to
you?

SJ: Because I think when you're dealing

If | Were A win I'd Like This Tribute

A tribute album can either
be highly traditional and
mimic the original artists’
interpretations, or subvert

‘them into something com-
pletely different and artsy.
The new release, If I Were a
Carpenter (A&M), tries to do
both.

Anna M. Plumey

4 Non Blondes

as a bell voice to an idea
taken from everyday life.
This is not a breakthrough
‘ album, but it can be fun to
listen to. I enjoyed hearing
who the producers matched
up with certain songs (bands
such as 4 Non Blondes,
Matthew Sweet, Bettie
Serveert, and Shonen Knife
also appear).

cal backgrounds and a clear’

Karen and_ Richard
_ Carpenter, the popular broth-
er—sister duo of sweet ‘70s
fare, spun songs about love,
loneliness, and whimsy.
Almost all of their work had
the unmistakable quality of
making you sing along with
it, even against your will.
However, before listening to
this CD, I was highly skepti-
cal of their lite-FM sound try-
ing to be updated successful-
ly.

The first song on the CD,
American Music Club’s ren-
dition of “Goodbye to Love,”
gave my skepticism some-
thing to feed off. The droning

voice of Mark Eitzel was
enough to send me for cover.
In fact, the CD only improves
after Sonic Youth’s amazing-
ly appropriate “Superstar.”
What looks trite in print, like
“loneliness is such a sad
affair,“ can be changed into
something hollow and subtle
if sung in just the right way.
Luckily, Sonic Youth knows
this and converts the piece
into a vastly more interesting
musical blend.

Also impressive is the
Cranberries’ “Close to You.”
Like Karen Carpenter,
Dolores O'Riordan has a sim-
ply melodious voice. In fact,

at some points I felt I was lis-
tening to Ms. Carpenter her-
self, crooning “Why do birds
suddenly appear, every time
you are near?” The similarity
of the voices was surprising
and added to the already
pleasant tune.

Cracker’s “Rainy Days and
Mondays” is an indisputably
depressing song. Who hasn't,
at one time or another,
thought “Rainy days and
Mondays always get me
down?” Perhaps that’s why
the Carpenters were best-
sellers; they could engineer
number ones on the Billboard
by adding entertaining musi-

Some combinations spelled
disaster, such as Sheryl Crow
doing “Solitaire.” Crow is
downright mind—numbing
here. However, having Babes
in Toyland on this tribute is a
perfect example of the fact
that all music has the ability
to change for it’s audience.

Although I’m too young to
flash back to the time when
the Carpenters were cultural
icons, I can understand why
the sentimental music they
produced is worthy of being
tributed. Either pick it up for
yourself or give it to your
parents who will be surprised
by the musical evolution.

with images in a genre sort of situation,
that you must transcend yourself across
national boundaries. I definitely don’t
want to segregate my work just because
I’m an American.

JB: What did you think of the MTV
awards?

SJ: At first I was really impressed and
then once I started to look at things
closely, I noticed a large amount of fire
hazards and the wiring was just com-
pletely unprofessionally done. I looked
at the lighting and I was very worried
for the people’s safety who were actual-
ly near any of the lighting rigs.

JB: That really bothered you, huh?

SJ: I mean, it’s appalling.

JB: What do you think about the win-
ners, like REM, Aerosmith? For exam-
ple did you enjoy their videos, like
“Cryin’?”

SJ: I didn’t actually enjoy it. No, I
didn’t. I don’t think I ever remember
enjoying it.

JB: Were you upset “Sabotage” didn’t |

win?

SJ: No. I mean of course we were disap-
pointed, but we didn’t really expect to
win.

JB: Do you think MTV is a good thing?
SJ: Yeah, the way it’s run is definitely
questionable sometimes, but it’s defi-
nitely a good thing on the whole. They
do cover things that aren’t being cov-
ered in a lot of places, there’s certain
information you get off the channel that
isn’t in other places.

JB: Is there anything you weulat tell
people who disapprove of videos to
validate the art form?

SJ: No, I don’t think there’s anything
more to them than you see. I don’t
think they need to or should be validat-
ed. What they are is what they are.

Take To The Highway — Velocity Girl Gets Ready To Tour

A Talk With The Rising Band Velocity Girl Before Their Tour With Sugar Begins

This Saturday, November 12th,
Velocity Girl (Sub Pop Records) will be
playing at the Roseland Ballroom in
New York City (with Sugar and
Magnapop). On the eve of this tour, I
spoke to Jim, the drummer. Velocity
Girl has been around for years and is
now on the verge of exploding. Their
melodic beat with heavy use of distor-
tion makes their songs kick.

DIJON

Jim, sounding very tired from a night
of partying, got in before starting the
haul from city to city. He seemed very
excited about doing shows with Sugar,
and touring in general. “I like it a lot.
Obviously it has it’s downsides. There’s
times when you wish it could be more

with that one day off, at
home and sleeping in
your own bed, as opposed
to being in a strange city.”.

On this tour, Velocity
Girl has jumped from
playing little holes like
CBGB’s (Known for show-
casing up and coming
| bands in downtown
_ Manhattan) to one of the
largest clubs in New
York. Jim expressed liking
| the larger size music halls,

_ but he states, “I like open-
| ing for people because it
is fun to play for some-
one else’s crowd and to
sway them.” This is the first real time
they have opened for another band in
about two years, except for random
shows with Pavement and at the
Reading Festival (the huge, three day-
music event in England) this past sum-
mer.

We started to discuss the band itself
and we got into how they got their
actual name. He sounded confused for
a moment because he thought I meant
his own name. After he got his head
straight he explained where they got it.
“Tt comes from an early Primal Scream
song, this B-side surprisingly enough.
Unfortunately when we picked it in ‘88,
they didn’t look like this big Beatles rip
off band.”

Velocity Girl are all from the
Washington, DC area and met at the
University of Maryland. He told me,
the first couple of shows they played

together didn’t go to well. “They were
pretty painful.”
couldn’t play so they would get as
much feedback as they could to make it
look like they knew what they were
doing. Jim himself had just switched
from guitar to drums, so he was espe-
cially new at it.

Their most recent album, Simpatico!,
was their second full length release on
the Seattle based company Sub Pop. I
asked him how they got signed, expect-
ing a long story on how they had to
pick from hundreds of labels they sent
demos to. However that was not the
case. “It is kind of embarrassing
because we didn’t do anything to get
signed. We never had a demo, we
never sent anything to labels and we
never called anyone. They just showed
up.” He goes on to say, “ People some-
times ask how we got on Sub Pop, look-
ing for advice or something. I kind of
feel guilty because we didn’t do any-
thing. They just showed up.”

Simpatico! took all of twenty days to
record, with one day off in the middle
of the recording session. Most of the
material on the album comes from a
combined effort from everyone in the
band. The amount of input each mem-
ber has on each song varies. On one
song, one member may write from start
to finish and on another song one per-
son may write the guitar part and
another person will add to it. The one
main difference between the earlier
Copacetic and Simpatico!, is the styles of
the producers. The producer on the
recent release is John Porter (the

They all pretty much ©

Smiths, Roxy Music), and he had a
great deal of influence on the album
and the band itself. “He whipped us
into shape,” Jim comments. “He is an
incredible musician, that’s one of the
reasons we worked with him. He’s a
total music guy as opposed to a hitmak-
er.” Jim feels that if they didn’t work
with him, the album would have been
totally different. However he wouldn’t
pick between albums regarding which -
is better. “It’s like picking between your
children,” he says.

Jim also had a story about a time they
played in New York City at the
Knitting Factory. Sarah (the lead
singer), Brian (a guitarist), a couple of
friends and him, went around the cor-
ner to CBGB’s before they went on. On
the way back, when they were crossing
the street, a car ran a light and plowed
into Brian. “It was pretty awful,” Jim
explained. “The car hits him, he rolls
over the hood, and we all were
stunned.” They wound up gettin’ into a
fight with this guy. “It was very out of
character of us,” he said, “but we did
some Kung Fu on him and he freaked
out and drove away. We went back,
played five minutes later all jacked up
on Adrenaline.”

While their reaction seems typical of
punk, their music is more a mesh of
60s pop and modern noise bands, like
Sonic Youth and The Jesus and Mary
Chain. In fact, Jim thought “Sometimes
Always,” the J&M Chain duet with
Hope Sandoval, was pretty cool. If
Velocity Girl tries something similar,
they might be regulars on MTV yet.

The Kids Are Alright

Bracket’s Child Laden Imagery Comes To Bogie’s

Bracket played Bogie’s Wed.
Oct. 26, in support of their debut
CD, 924 Forestville St. (Caroline).
The few patrons that braved the
autumn chill for the evening were
treated to a cordial, informal set by
the San Francisco Bay-area band,
whose two-part harmonies and
punk overtones have their publi-
cists shouting, “Green Day.” The
quartet played cuts off the new CD
and experimented with material
for future releases in front of the
small, but appreciative crowd.

Kevin Varley

The local trio, Beef, opened the
show. Their heavy-guitar style of
alternative drew a great response
from the home crowd, as they
rocked through a short set of origi-
nals.

Bracket’s material is shaped by
catchy punk hooks mixed in
amongst rapid changes in tempo
and well-crafted music, pointed
out by the sensitive lyrics of
Marty, the lead singer/guitarist.
He draws lyrical content from
childhood experiences, creating
characters wise beyond their years
that are able to observe the frailties
of youth amongst the realities of
the playground. Insightful, yet
playful, Marty’s characters discuss
loneliness and reveal childhood
traumas like playing dodgeball. In
order to underscore the visual
imagery, the band includes their
childhood photos and a poem

_ written by a lonely kid in the liner

notes. Marty punctuated that
image Wednesday night by wear-
ing a yellow, striped “Charlie
Brown” shirt. He showed no visi-
ble scars as he stomped about and
shook his shoulder-length hair
while smiling at the listeners.
Zack, at bass, provided backing

. vocals, as Larry strummed hard on
rhythm guitar to match the quick

tempo set by Ray behind the
drums. “Get It Rite,” “Sleep,” and
the single, “Why Should Eye”
(courtesy of additional backing
vocals from an audience member
who jumped onstage), were tight
and energetic. The new material
sounded as fresh and as exciting
as the CD.

Although the small crowd at
Bogie’s was a disappointment for
the up and coming band, they are
just at the start of the tour that will
take them across the country.

“It’s tough having to play
Wednesdays at the beginning of

the tour,” explained Zack after the ©

show. “We tried to get more

weekend dates to draw bigger

crowds. It does give us a chance to
work on new material, you know,
stuff for the next release.”

The band left the show with
some guy from an area band offer-
ing his living room floor for sleep-
ing accommodations. The long !
road to rock stardom! They will go
on to play dates in Boston and
New York City before leaving the
Northeast to visit the rest of the

country.

%. *

Pieces Of Pumpkin puistony

Pumpkins.

Robert Mallia

As an album, Pisces Iscariot can’t seem to
get off the ground, but the songs, if taken
individually, lift off and soar on their own.
If you know anything about Billy Corgan,
you know that he wouldn’t let anything
short of perfect make it to the record store.

Intricate guitar harmonies and whispering
vocals make “Blew Away” rise above all the
other songs, and prove that Corgan isn’t the
only song writer in the band. James Iha does
it all on this one, and does it like he’s been
doin’ it forever. Simple, but definitely mov-
ing lyrics, and a guitar solo that would
knock the Socks out of the Whitehouse,
make the song appealing to even the most
picky of frontmen.

If I were to pick any one song from this
album that could have, or should have,
appeared on Siamese Dream, it would have
to be “Frail and Bedazzled.” The song
begins with a Rocket-esque guitar intro and
then.slams into a thick, smooth guitar—bass
mix with lots of crashing cymbals. Corgan

“doesn’t fail to follow the Pumpkin tradition

of brief pauses in the instrumentation while

_ continuing to sing, and then hit again with a

slew of guitar noise. It was originally
recorded for Siamese Dream, but, unfortu-
nately, never made it.

“Starla” is one of the more unique tracks
on the disc. Tame, undulating guitar feed-
back gives this song an eerie quality and
makes the rather simplistic chord progres-
sion seem more dynamic. Corgan lets loose
and gives his all to an intense solo in which
every possible guitar effect is used, and
demonstrates his incredible lyric writing
ability. There is definitely something for
everyone in this one.

I could say something good about every
song on the disc, but I would rather let you
listen to it and make your own judgements.
Diehard Pumpkin fans will probably already
own many of these songs but, buy it anyway.
New fans will find themselves lost in the
pre-Gish sound of “La Dolly Vita” and sway-
ing uncontrollably to the classic rock style of
the cover of the Animal’s “Girl Named
Sandoz.” I recommend you buy it and enjoy;
don’t expect any unifying or common themes
here, just a bunch of good songs.

To-

When hearts of fire grow cold
and lives are bought and sold

I will still love you with all the madness in my

soul.

When the sun burns out some day

and all the world is gray

you will still shine like a beacon, calling me...

calling me through eternity.

When the black hole swallows everything up
I will still be drinking from your cup
your cup of a wine so sweet and true...

I will still treasure only you.

And on the occasion when time will end
I'll wait for the message that you'll send
a message travelling across space.and time

saying you are still only mine.

And when the world begins anew,

I'll call out to you

and embrace you like the savior you are...

my one, my only shining star.

PART ONE:

Elizabeth sat in a wicker
chair, wrapped in_ her
terrycloth robe, on her terrace
overlooking a city street in
Boston. She gazed over the
railing, waiting for the answer
to appear written in the snow.
The snow touches everything.
It’s one giant blanket that
engulfs the cars, the trees, the
lampposts. Something under
it’s cover must have an answer.

She loves Boston. It holds so
many glistening memories of
college and grad. school, but
why can’t she find a reality
there now? Her pale fingers
wrapped themselves around
the glass that had a small circle
of Red Chablis left in the
bottom. Her head was rushing
with questions of the future,
and the wine had numbered all
other senses.

Abandoning the failure of
her snow oracle, she lay her
head on the chair cushion and
closed her eyes in despair. The
wine was keeping her warm,
but she could feel the cold
winter air chilling her nose.
Why can’t time wait? It simply
keeps on going. |

Elizabeth could feel the
heaving of her chest and
burning in her thighs. She
didn’t know why she was
running. Thrown in a dark,
dense forest, as if in a dream,
she could barely notice
stumbling over so many

branches and vines. Her white,
silk nightgown, now a dingy
gray color, stuck to her
sweating body. Strands of her
long, blond hair clung to her
wet face, obstructing her view.
She felt the warm blood drip
down her legs and arms from
the scratches that stray
branches had made, but there
was no pain, only fear.

She didn’t know what she
was afraid of or what she was
running from. But the fear was
so overwhelming that it
carried her foward. She
couldn’t stop if she wanted to.

The back of Elizabeth’s head
struck the dirt as something
tackled her frail body. When
she peered into it’s eyes she
could see her worst nightmare
playing back at her. The beast,
so large and so hideous could
not be moved by her own
strength. In the moment that it
would take for him to kill her,
she knew that it would be best
to succumb and end this terror.
Even the strongest human
could not over power such a
beast. Thick, warm saliva
dripping from its jowls
splattered her chin and neck.
The terror grew so that she
could no longer keep her eyes
open.

With a small cry from the pit
of her stomach, she relaxed all
of her muscles, prepared to
accept her bleak fate and end
the fear. She felt the thrust, the
stinging in her arms and legs. I

fearful anticipation she told
herself that she was now
happy to be dead. She could

contracted, releasing a shriek
when she saw the beast once
more. At a distant tree his
body hung limply on the
branch that had impaled him.
Whirling with confusion,
Elizabeth sat upright and
stared at the corpse. Who
could possibly have enough
strength to slay this prodigious
beast? Elizabeth knew that
whatever creature may have
done this will surely tear her
apart, limb by limb. And yet
she felt no fear. Unable to
escape this creature, unable to
conquer it, she saw no need for
fear. There is nothing for her to
do but wait.

Elizabeth rose from the dirt
and glanced at the bloodied
gauges on her arms. Slowly,
but without hesitation, she
approached the defeated beast.
Her hand stroked its hideous
brow. She feared him no more.
But where was the assassinator?
The forest was dark and silent.
There was no one there.

After an idle moment,
Elizabeth watched the eyes of
the dead beast. A picture
emerged in his eyes, and
Elizabeth watched intently. She
could see herself.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Countering Myth

To the Editor:

R.Z.A. is the Jewish student group on campus set out
to promote Jewish pride, Jewish strength, and Jewish
dignity. For the past three weeks, Nader Uthman has
called R.Z.A. racist, compared us with Hamas and
declared we do not represent the Jewish students on
campus. A response is in order to these malicious
falsehoods.

There is a myth being promoted by Mr. Uthman that
the “Palestinians” are an “oppressed people” seeking to
regain their “historic homeland.” Any historian knows
this is a farce. The name “Palestine” was only created by
the Romans in 70 C.E. and was used in order to eradicate
any Jewish link to the historical Jewish homeland.
Throughout history, there was never an independent
Arab state in the province of Palestine until 1921 with
the creation of Transjordan in 80% of Palestine. Mr.
Uthman would be well advised to read a transcript of
what Ahmed Shugeiri, a later chairman of the P.L.O.,
told the U.N. Security Council in 1947. Shugeiri said, “It
is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but
Southern Syria.” Syrian President Hafez Assad echoed
these statements on Radio Damascus on March 8, 1974,
saying, “Palestine is not only a part of our Arab
homeland, but a basic part of Southern Syria.”

Mr. Uthman’s leader, the Grand Mufti Hadj Amin al
Husseini, instigated pogroms against Jews between 1920
and 1948. Mufti met with Hitler in November of 1941 in
Berlin. Husseini told Hitler that Germans and Arabs “had
the same enemies, namely...the Jews.” It is very
interesting to know who Mr. Uthman regards as heroes.

The P.L.O. charter, adopted in 1964 (3 years before
Israel “occupied the West Bank and Gaza”’), calls for the
destruction of Israel and the deportation of all Jews who
came to Israel after 1917. This P.L.O. attitude remains
the same today. Ziad Abu Ziad, a senior P.L.O. official,
in a speech to the American Jewish Federation on
October 23, 1993 said, “Israel must not demand that the
P.L.O. alter its covenant.” As reported by Reuters on
August 10, 1994, Farouk Qaddumi, head of the P.L.O.
political department, said Israel “must be destroyed. This
is the Palestinian way.”

R.Z.A. understands the P.L.O., a terrorist organization,
murdered 27 Israeli school children in Maalot on May
15, 1974 and killed wheel chair bound American Leon
Klinghoffer on the Achille Lauro in October 1985.

It has been illustrated Mr. Uthman is a preacher of
bigotry and a proponent of revisionist history. The “State
of Palestine” has never existed, does not exist and will
never exist. Ahm Yisrael Chai (The People of Israel live).

High Priorities

To the Editor:

There is a tremendous difference between government
policies that sound good, and policies that are good and
sound.

In this year’s gubernatorial race, the Conservative
Republican candidate has suggested dramatic cuts in
state taxes that sound great until you hear how you and
your parents will pay for them.

Independent fiscal analysts conclude the tax plan
suggested by the Republican candidate could double
tuition rates at public universities and significantly
reduce funding for the State’s Tuition Assistance
Program. :

It would also mean increased class sizes, reduced
support services and activities on campuses across the
state.

We can’t let that happen. It won’t happen if I can help
it. I’m committed to expanding support for higher
education. This year, we’re doing that by establishing
Liberty Scholarships, which will guarantee a college
education to deserving students.

My Republican opponent voted against Liberty
Scholarships and against improvement to the SUNY and
CUNY systems. Check the record.

There is a clear difference between the candidates
running for governor. I am the only candidate that has
made higher education a top priority.

Mario M. Cuomo
Governor

Speaker Violation

To the Editor:

On Monday evening, October 24 a recognized student
organization hosted an event on campus to which it
appears an outside speaker was invited. The organization
gave no notice to the Division of Student Affairs of the

speaker’s appearance prior to the event, nor did the
Division of Student Affairs have any prior knowledge or
notice of this speaker’s presence on our campus from
any other source. A report of the speaker’s remarks is
found on Page 1 of the Oct. 28 ASP.

Since it would appear that the manner in which this
speaker was brought to the campus was inconsistent with

University regulations, the matter has been referred to

the University Judicial System and to the Student
Association for review. There is one standard at this
University: the rules apply to every individual and every

organization equally, and all members of the community

are expected, indeed obliged, to follow those rules.

Earlier this semester, on September 29 and September
30, the entire University community came together for
Campus Together Day. As I said at the time, the Campus
Together Day program was designed to reaffirm our core
values as a University community. We were committed
to these principles and values in September and remain
committed to them today. And that is why we all must
denounce ages of hate and divisiveness attributed to this
speaker. Such speakers need to know, just as they have
the right under our Constitution to speak, we too have
the right under the Constitution to challenge what they
say, and we will continue to do so.

We are attempting to confront and challenge, not
avoid or ignore, racism, sexism, anti-Semitism,
homophobia, and other forms of intolerance aimed at
tearing down what we are building. And we will
continue to do so in the context of an open and vital
University.

H. Patrick Swygert
President

Mind Your Manners

To the Editor:

As a student, your behavior while living off campus
greatly impacts your neighbors’ image of all university
students. If you are a member of a fraternity or a
sorority, your behavior also impacts your neighbors’
image of Greek letter organizations. This is particularly
true when it involves a party you are sponsoring at your
apartment. As a student who has chosen to reside off
campus, you have rights and responsibilities as a
community resident.

You are strongly encouraged to:

* Talk to your neighbors before the party. Let them
know you are having a party and when it will start and
end. Leave them your name and phone number.
Encourage them to call if there is a problem during the
party so you can correct it before someone calls the
police.

¢ During the party, let your guests know you are the
contact person. If a neighbor calls, they will know to
take a message or to find you.

¢ Avoid overcrowding which might: 1) block
apartment exits in case of emergency 2) result in your
porch or entire apartment collapsing 3) result in cars
blocking your street in case fire, police, or medical units
need to respond 4) and/or force your guest to
inappropriately use “outdoor bathroom facilities.”

¢ Periodically during the night, walk outside to check

the noise level and adjust it accordingly.

° It is your responsibility to stay in control of yourself
and your guests.

* Know and observe New York State Law in terms of
your liability in providing alcoholic beverages to persons
under 21 years of age, as well as the Open Container
Law and the “noise ordinance law” in the city of Albany.
Open container violation:

It is illegal for a person to possess an open container of
an alcoholic beverage in a public place.

Noise ordinance:
It is unlawful for any person to make, continue, or

.cause to be made or continued any unnecessary or

unusual noise between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:00
p.m., which either arnoys, injures or endangers the
comfort, repose, health or safety of others, or to make,
continue or cause to be made or continued between the
hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. or in the use of or
operation of any radio, receiving set, musical instrument,
phonograph, television set or other device for the
production or reproduction of sound, or otherwise any
noise which either annoys, injures, or endangers the
comfort, repose, health or safety or others. An offense
against this ordinance is a violation punishable by a
$250.00 fine and/or 15 days in jail.

¢ After the party, clean up the area around your
apartment as well as your neighbors’ if needed. Contact
your neighbors the next day and thank them for their
cooperation.

If you have a problem at your party and need
assistance, contact the Albany Police at 463-4141 for an
emergency or 462-8000 for a non-emergency. Also, you
may contact the off-campus housing office at 442-5875
or call the “Off-Campus Hotline” at 442-5888 after
hours and leave a message.

War on Students

To the Editor:

In case you’ ve been living under a rock, there has been
a very volatile situation developing over the last several
months between the SUNYA student body and the Pine
Hills community. The community, sick to death of
increased student nonsense, has put a good deal of
pressure on the Albany Police Department to rectify the
problem.

Consequently, APD and the State Liquor Association
have become the official zoo keepers and baby sitters of
the students. Parties are being broken up with increased
vehemence, bars raided more frequently and arrests
made at a much quicker pace than I have seen in my four
years here. Students behaving like animals-after drinking
way too much are destroying what little relationship
exists between the community and the school, causing
thousands of dollars in property damage in the process.

The latest incident in question made the front page of
the ASP on Oct. 28. A student, Jeremy Jennings, was
arrested for throwing garbage all over Ontario Street. He
claims he was an innocent victim of circumstance merely
occupying his feeble intellect by kicking crap all over the
street. The trash was already present before he arrived.

Jennings was apparently mystified that the arresting
officers would interpret his behavior as that of a drunk
and treat him as such. The student then demanded a
breath—a—lizer exam. He was indeed sober. Simply a
jackass rather than an intoxicated jackass. To boot, his
buddy got arrested for resisting arrest.

They both got to spend the night in the tank after
which this brilliant quote emanated from the depths of
Jennings’ room temperature I.Q. “We were stuck in the
cell with, like, 14 guys busted for selling crack and
beating their wives...” As if the city should establish a
special wing in the county jail for dysfunctional SUNY
students.

On top of everything else, Jennings claims that the
officers failed to read him his rights. Hey pal, read this
loud and clear. NOBODY GIVES A SHIT! When
you’ve had your car radio stolen, your motorcycle
knocked over, windows smashed and house vandalized,
you run out of tolerance for this crap.

This is the kind of nonsense that turns the police
department in the New York State Capitol into a gigantic
weekend baby-sitting service. And for all the students
reading this saying “I don’t behave like that so why
should my life be affected by noise ordinance laws, bar
raids and downtown arrests.”

The truth is that things have gotten absolutely
ridiculous and the student body as a whole will be

judged by the actions of a few moronic individuals who

which is located in the campus
center. But according to a repre-
sentative at the program, Don’t

an extension of the program.

“Students would then be able
to call whomever is on duty in
their quad and have an escort
take them to wherever they wish
to go.” the representative said.

A representative of the pro-
gram said, “I always sent out my
people in pairs (consisting) of a
man and a woman when it’s
available. Everyone is required
to log in and out every time they
escort someone.”

The program is available from
Sunday through Thursday. The
‘number of volunteers fluctuates
from one or two people on
Sunday to eight on Tuesday. A
new volunteer said trying to
extend the program to the week-
ends would be difficult, “It’s the

ment is funny when you should be asking,
‘How are we going to get rates down, get
tuition down, how are we going to live
with our brothers and sisters, with people
who don’t look or talk like us?’”

Agreeing, the moderator of the event,
Blair Warner, a NYPIRG lobbyist, said,
“People get empowered by winning, not
losing. You need institutional, tangible
goals.” He suggested student government
publish a pamphlet each semester outlin-
ing student association candidates’ posi-
tions on groups’ issues.

Ali also said specific knowledge and
aims are vital. Using Pell grants, the only
federal entitlement program for students,
as an example, he said they are now
‘capped’ at 3.9 million students, meaning
no more than that number may receive
the award. Also, while $4100 per grant is
authorized, on the average, only $2300 is
allocated per student.

Urging students to resist being stereo-
typed as apathetic, Ali said, “The strategy
today is to say there’s no student move-
ment in the 90’s— they don’t care, they
have no interests, they drink Coors beer
and wear Levies and worry about their
long-distance company. But that’s not the
truth. The truth is, a lot of us have a com-
mitment to doing the right thing.”

PROTEST

When commenting on the rally after-

rally went well. He was pleased that it
didn’t turn into a “Cliff Lent Slam-Fest”

was afraid that the rally might try to hurt a
public figure in order to gain more expo-
sure for radical viewpoints.

Continued from page 6

Regarding the extensive research that

goes into his novels, Kennedy said, “I

read about the city all the time...I don’t

have to research this, but I do. It’s just
there in my head.”

Kennedy, the author of the book and

screenplay Jronweed, was turned down by
numerous publishers when he presented
the manuscript of the soon to be Pulitzer
Prize winner. A publisher in New York
City told him, “I’ve never seen anyone
write as well as you have on this particu-
lar subject (of the homeless),” but the
book would not be a “money maker.”
Currently, the book has been translated

into twenty-three languages and, aside
from the Pulitzer Prize, has won the
National Book Critics Circle Award in
1987. It has also been made into a movie
with Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson.

An audience member asked him if the
social programs of today have changed
the homeless situation since the 1930s.
Kennedy said he saw the homeless of
today as lost and “bereft of spiritual sus-
tenance” and said, “there’s very little dif-
ference between those who were knock-
ing on my back door in the 1930s.
They’ re still hungry.”

Kennedy is the founder of the Writers

Institute of Albany, the director of the
New York State Writers Institute and a
full professor at SUNY Albany.

Kennedy finished the evening by com-
menting on his journalistic influences. He
said, “I learned to pay attention to the
way people spoke.” Through journalism,
he was able to encounter “governors,
movie stars, and murderers. I was lucky

Women’s rugby wins Upstate Championship

By PETE ARCHER

Thls past weekend, in dramatic fashion, the
University at Albany’s women’s rugby team were
the victors in the Upstate Rugby Championships
held in Lincoln Park.

On Saturday, the Lady Danes met Buffalo, the
only other undefeated team in the state, and the
game was perhaps one of the toughest matches of
the season for Albany. Buffalo’s superior size,
tremendous speed and power at the full—back posi-
tion created problems.

Albany went ahead early with a score from
eight-man Christa “Rasta” Gesztesi and a success-
ful extra point kick from Jeanine Farrelly that put
them ahead 7-0, and they battled the rest of the
game to maintain this lead. It was not easy.

Buffalo’s team consistently out-muscled Albany
in the scrum, giving them a big advantage while
frustrating and weakening Albany’s front line.

Buffalo tried simply to overpower Albany in the
trenches then pitch the ball out to their six foot, one
inch “Amazon” fullback. This fullback, easily the
biggest player on the field, was almost unstoppable.
Each time she touched the ball, Buffalo seemed to
advance twenty yards or so, but the Lady Danes
kept Buffalo out of the end zone through sheer
determination.

In the second half Albany spent precious little
time on the Buffalo side of the field but made the
most of it. On a penalty kick, Farrelly put the ball
through the uprights to put Albany ahead 10-0.
These points were crucial because Buffalo finally
scored to eondee 2 them — ee points of the fea

Danes as the game neared its end..

Buffalo was not done yet though, and with under
a minute to go in the game they put the ball in the
hands of their fullback, who stampeded deep into
Albany territory, past the Danes’ front line, and was
only forced out of bounds by the last player on
defense, her opposite number, scrappy fullback
Diana Martin.

It was yet another key play for Martin, who was
later awarded the tournament’s Most Valuable
Player. Before Buffalo could get another serious
crack at the end zone, time expired and the Lady
Danes had-won, 10-7.

In the championship game against Cortland, who
had defeated SUNY Potsdam to advance, the Lady
Danes met a team much like themselves, tough and
opportunistic. The game was long and tedious, and
was played to a 0-0 draw before being forced into a
shootout. The shootout was as dramatic as any fic-
tion, pitting Albany’s kicker, Farrelly, against
Cortland’s. The first kicker to miss would send her
team home as runners-up to the champion. And true
to the form of this rugby season for the undefeated
Lady Danes, they were victorious.

Farrelly battled with her opponent five kick
attempts before the Cortland kicker finally missed
her sixth effort, and Albany women’s rugby was
pronounced Champions with a tense 12-9 victory.

Back line coach Dave Lovell summed up the sea-
son for Albany when he said, “What got us this far
was desire and will. [This team] just wanted it.”

The team will now have a well deserved rest for a
few months, and in April will be one of only eigh
teams invited to the East Coast Championships. I

Phoenix, the NBA's rising sun

BY DAN BETTAN

Now that we know they will be play-
ing beginning November 4, what’s to be
expected this season in the NBA? Will
there be a rematch in the finals? Is
Orlando ready yet? Can P.J. Carlissimo

work his Seton Hall magic with

Portland? Is there anyone who can still
tolerate Dennis Rodman?

Starting with the West: last year’s
champ, Houston, still looks strong and
is a very experienced team. But, two
factors weigh heavily. Sam Cassell’s
performance and Vernon Maxwell’s
temper. Will Cassell suffer a sophomore
jinx? The Rockets better hope not if
they want to repeat as champions.

The team that will be the toughest to
beat in the West this year will be the
Phoenix Suns. They got rid of center
Oliver Miller and strengthened their
team with Waymon Tisdale and Danny
Manning. This team is now an unbeliev-
able power source that should put up
115 points consistently. But, will losing
Oliver Miller make their defense more
anemic than it already is? Maybe, but
this offense can handle it.

Other teams to look out for in the
West are Utah and San Antonio. They
are possible upset teams, but must play

healthy and strong the whole way
though. And the Spurs better put a leash
on Rodman. As for Seattle, let’s hope
that Shawn Kemp’s unprecedented
salary doesn’t split up their team. With
their depth they can surprise a lot of
teams.

Can the Knicks repeat? DEFENSE!!
’Nuff said. They should battle it out
with Phoenix in the Finals. Let’s hope
Ewing’s knees can support his team.

For Orlando fans, give them another
year. This up and coming dynasty,
which everyone can’t seem to get
enough of, is just too young. How about
signing Brian Shaw and free agent
Horace Grant? They look awesome on
paper but still need time to develop.
They’ll go far, but have yet to win a
playoff game. Look for this team to
carry basketball into the next century.

Upstarts in the East? Don’t forget
about Indiana. They are a year wiser and
just as good. Look for a repeat of last
year’s semi-finals. As for the Celtics:
Dominique, Xavier...Celts are going
nowhere. Surprise team of the
East—Milwaukee Bucks.

So look for New York and Indiana in
the East and Phoenix and Houston in the
West. Finals—Phoenix vs. New York
with Phoenix in six. It will be another
year of heartbreak for Knick fans.

Reversal of fortunes in cross country

By AARON GREENBERG
Associate Sports Editor

When the Danes sent their cross country
squads to two different races for the first
time this year, the results were a surprising
flip-flop of position. After all the difficul-
ties they have encountered, the men’s team
went out and put together a solid effort, just
short of winning their conference title. At
the same time, the women fell off track
from a wonderful start to the season.

The Albany men’s team competed at the
Collegiate Track Conference champi-
onships, a New York City regional confer-
ence which Albany has dominated for the
last few years. The CTC’s were held at Van
Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.

The Danes were surprised to find them-
selves in a tight battle with Trenton State
for first place. Albany took second of four-
teen teams, with 84 points, while Trenton
racked up 82. Local rival, St. Rose, was no
match for Albany, despite their star Hailton
Silva leading them to 99 points.

Albany’s times were not impressive, but
coach Kevin Williams called the site “hilly,
the toughest course so far.”

Transfer Rod Rose led the way, once
again, finishing seventh overall with a time
of 27:57. John Druzba was next for Albany,
in thirteenth with 28:19. Three seconds and
two places behind was Jeff Mussina. To
round off the scoring runners, Ryan
Osborne and Nate Butyrn finished 22nd and
27th respectively.

Rose has consistently been the team’s
leader since joining in mid-season. Osborne
also started running after the first few weeks
and has quickly joined the pack.

“The big surprise is three of the four
freshmen did real well,” Williams said.

Last week, Williams made a bold remark
predicting a big improvement in the men’s
team’s fortunes. They followed him up on
it, despite a few sub-par races from his
large pool of rotating scorers.

“We’re almost there,” he said, “and we

|giate coverage: the ASP

still haven’t quite put it all together.”

The women’s team did not perform too
poorly, but they did suffer from the loss of
two of their top runners. With Tiffany Will
out for the season, the Danes already knew
they had to step up.

In the New York State Championships,
held at Geneseo, Albany’s second best run-
ner dropped out of the race after two miles.
Sophomore Tonya Dodge was on a decent
pace, but unable to finish. Sophomore Lisa
Nesta, in another incredible performance,
finished in 18:50 to win the race by 19 sec-

The University at Albany men’s soccer
team earned their first National Collegiate
Athletic Association bid since 1978, with
a 3-0 win over Cortland last Saturday. By
winning, the Danes finished the regular
season with a record of 10-4—2, while the
loss dropped Cortland to 8-7-0.

Albany entered the game knowing a
win would give them the upper hand in
securing a spot in the 32 team field. With
that in mind the Danes were determined

At 16:48, of the first half, Tai Nham put
Albany on the board first, when he one
timed a Jomo Forrester crossing pass into
the top right corner of the goal. Less than
six minutes later, Ryan Kochanowicz
extended the Danes lead to 2-0 by blast-
ing a twenty footer past Cortland goal-
keeper Terry Moss.

Albany’s third goal came with just
under twelve minutes to go in the first
half, when Chris Mogavero scored his

Football shoots down Sea Gulls in another offensive show
Bellamy has career best, Freeman gets two TDs and Shein makes ECAC Honors

By Eric DAGNALL
Managing Editor

On a perfect day for football, the
University at Albany Great Danes
trounced the Salisbury State Sea Gulls
(2-5) 44-20 to up their record 3-5.
Upstate New York’s number one rated
offense ran rampant over the Gull’s
defense racking up 351 yards.

“Our offense is starting to hit its stride
right now,” Albany head coach Bob Ford
said.

The Danes’ attack was led by junior
tailback Otis Bellamy who totaled 154
yards on the ground and junior fullback
Victor Freeman who added 106.

“I felt today the game was won
between the tackles,” Ford said.

Bellamy’s shining moment came in the
first half when, on a second down play, he
received the option from quarterback Joe
Savino and with the help of a crushing
block by Freeman, ran 49 yards for the
score. The two backs complemented each
other all afternoon giving the Danes a
balanced attack on the ground. Freeman
finished with two touchdowns and
Bellamy had one.

With 4:57 left in the first quarter,
Freeman started the scoring. He capped a

six play, 74 yard drive when he pounded

Women’s Rugby

his way into the end zone. With the extra
point Albany was on top 7-0.

Albany’s defense, which had a tremen-
dous game, held firm against the Gulls
forcing a punt. The big play came when
junior defensive tackle Todd Wangler
sacked quarterback Marc Thomas for a
15-yard loss.

On Brad Wheedleton’s punt, senior
Andy Shein worked some of his elusive
magic and returned the punt 41 yards for
his eighth touchdown of the season.

In the second quarter, the Sea Gulls
were able to pull within seven when
Thomas ran a quarterback sneak for a
touchdown. However, on Bellamy’s 49
yard run the Danes held a commanding
20-7 lead going into the half.

In the third quarter, Albany continued
its dominance when they drove down the
field on their opening drive. Never had
Albany’s offense been more tuned than in
this drive. After a holding penalty, Savino
completed two passes, both to Shein for
the first down. It was Freeman’s show
from there. He was called upon on five of
the next six plays. On first and goal from
the two, Freeman ran untouched into the
end zone giving the Danes a 26-7 lead.

The game was then a formality with
each team trading touchdowns.

Though Albany’s offense was certainly

Rugby goes and beats off challengers to
become state’s best -

the highlight of the game, the defense
stepped up in a big way. The Danes

‘forced three interceptions and one fum-

ble. They also recorded seven sacks.

“We were able to get the upper hand on
both sides of the line of scrimmage,” Ford
said.

The rushing attack was so potent that
Savino, the top rated quarterback in
Upstate New York was seldom used.
Savino was still able to complete eight of
his 14 passes for 99
yards.

The Danes will honor |
the seniors on the team at |;
their last home game this
Saturday night. They
will face off against the
Springfield Chiefs (4-4),
a Division II team.
Springfield’ s
multi—option, run orient-
ed offense should chal-

defense.
Game Notes: Thef

Danes’ offense is ranked 7
number one in Upstate
New York with an aver-

game... Bellamy andy
Freeman were the first

Danes to run for 100+ yards:in the same

touchdown was the first since

1980...Shein only needs ten catches and
137 yards to become Albany’s all-time
leading receiver in both categories. He
made it to the ECAC Honor Roll for the
fifth time.
