Local Y AF to publicize ‘Accuracy in Academia’
By Alice Hio
A representative from Accuracy in
Academia (AIA), a national group that in-
vestigates ‘‘incompetence, excessive zeal,
(and) ideological obsessions’’ of college
professors, held an organizational meeting
Tuesday night on the SUNYA campus
despite protests from students and faculty.
Approximately 30 students attended the
meeting, which was sponsored by the
Albany chapter of Young Americans for
Freedom (YAF).
“All YAF will be doing is distributing
AIA’s monthly newspaper,’’ said AIA
representative and YAF. Président Rich
Schiotis. But, he added, ‘‘We’re not
recruiting anyone or organizing
complaints.”
According to an AJA brochure
distributed at the meeting, AIA’s purpose
is to ‘‘investigate reports from students of
seriously inaccurate information being im-
parted by classroom instructors.’”
Several people who attended the meeting
» however, opposed AIA’s purpose.
“The title ‘Accuracy in Academia’ im-
plies that there’s one target or truth that
professors should be shooting for,’’ said
Todd Swanstrom, a SUNYA Professor of
political science, who did not attend the
meeting. ‘‘Truth is a multi-colored
phenomenom and Accuracy in Academia
ignores this.””
Even in the hard sciences there are
disagreements about what constitutes a
fact and there is debate between different
theoretical perspectives, said Swanstrom.
“All YAF will be
doing is distributing
AIA’s monthly
newsletter.’’

“Tn the soft sciences it is even more clear
that there isn’t a truth that all professors
should be shooting for.”
“Accuracy, according to AIA represen-
tative Matthew Sculy, should be defined in
“dictionary terms’’.
“If a professor alters statistics to sup-
port his political beliefs, he is being inac-
curate,” said Scully who is associate
editor of the AIA publication, Campus
Report. The title “‘ Accuracy in Academia
is a spinoff title of Accuracy in Media, a
fourteen-year-old organization which
checks biases in journalism, he said.
“Perhaps the term ‘accuracy’ is better
suited for the media organization than the
A SUNYA political science teaching
assistant, who attended the meeting, said
he is concerned about the effect AIA could
have on his future. “‘AIA could make it
much more difficult for recent political
science PHD’s to get work, ”’ he said. ‘‘It
would force us to waste time in defending
ourselves against ridiculous attacks (by
people who) have no understanding of the
study of politics.”’
But, according to Scully, ‘‘There is such
a huge disproportion ideoligically among
college professors that it’s unlikely that
any professor is going to lose or be denied.
job because he’s been singled out by the
AIA...On the contrary, he’s going to be
A recent case at Arizona State Universi-
ty was investigated by AIA , said Scully,
where a professor allegedly showed a
slideshow while providing an equally ex-
plicit narration.
“The media made us the villains and the
professor the good guy,”’ said Scully. ““We
were investigating the professor because he
was not adhering to his course outline. We
were responding to student complaints.””
But, according to SUNYA political
science professor Bruce Miroff, who did
not attend the meeting, monitoring of pro-
fessors has no place ‘‘on the university
campus.’’ A classroom depends upon trust
between students and professors and AIA
“*undermines the necessary trust.’’
Mirof, who allows his students to tape
his lectures, said he has not been
monitored by AIA, yet. But, the threat of
being monitored has made him wonder
whether he should allow students to con-
tinue to tape his lectures, Miroff said.
Most faculty members don’t want a
group of any political persuasion to
monitor classrooms and report to an out-
side group, Miroff said. These outside
groups could use things said in the
classroom to threaten students, he said.
Since so many students and professors
are against AIA, there is little chance that
a formal AIA chapter could be im-
plemented on this campus, said Schiotus.
However, “‘if any students have a problem
and want to join AIA, I'll advise them ~

said Scully.
Food poisoning alleged at UAS
Two Alumni Quad residents who
were hospitalized and eleven who
became suddenly ill on Tuesday,
Jan. 22, say they were stricken after
eating deli food served at the quad’s
Walden cafeteria.
University Auxiliary Svce. (UAS)
officials say they haven’t received
any reports fo food poisoning. E
Norbert Zahm, UAS General
Manager, speculated that the sudden
outbreak of stomach illness was
caused by a virus “‘that’s been going
around.”’
But quad residents and resident
assistants say many students felt ill
after eating, and some said the food
seemed to be tainted.
“It tasted like it was soaking in
vinegar,” said Alden Hall resident
Eric Rogell. “I got really, really
sick—like every hour on the hour.’’
Rochell Katz, a Waterbury Hall
resident, suffered severe nausea after
eating cold cuts for dinner. ‘I
thought I was Poisoned,’’ she said.
Six people checked into the Infir-
mary late Tuesday and early
Wednesday complaining of gastro-
intestinal problems, said Dr. Nor-
man Dennis, Infirmary Medical
Director.
Dennis said that because of the
large number of patients handled
each day, it’s difficult to say if six
people were an unusual number.
However, “‘It doesn’t look like an
epidemic,’’ Dr. Dennis said.
A UAS worker who asked not to
be identified said she wasn’t suprised
by the illneses. “I hate the way they
save food. They save everything you
could imagine and mix it with the
new stuff.’’ She said the. UAS kit-

and yours.”

Black student’s
handbook rates
university ‘poor’
By Rachel Braslow
STAFF WRITER
“For blacks, it is not very sunny at SUNY (Albany),””
according to Black Student’s Guide to Colleges, by Barry
Beckham. :
“Race relations on campus... are given poor reviews by
virtually all respondent’, the guide book states. ‘‘Interac-
tion with white studets is described as ‘distant’ by one stu-
dent. With white faculty and administrators. The word
used is ‘insensitive.’””
However, Beckham, a professor of English at Brown
University reported to the Albany Times Union, that only
nine or ten students’ opinions were elicited for his profile
of SUNYA.
According to Frank Pogue, SUNYA’s Vice President
for Student Affairs, ‘‘my particular response to this arti-
cle was the sample questioned. You raise questions about
asample size. It is one thingto gét quotes, another to raise
it a a collective opinion of all students,”*he said.
“That is not to say racial tension is not here, ’” Pogue
said. “‘It is rather naive to say the university h a sescaped
problems of the real world. In the real world there is
racism, sexism, and other ‘isms’,”” Pogue said.
“Because the university is a microcosm of the real
world, the problems are here,”’ he said.
Pogue stressed the importance of the general education
requirements instituted over the past three years. Each
student is required to complete six credits of wold culture
courses. Corses such’as Afro-American Studies, women
studies and Jewish Studies are now included in the
curriculum, =~
Pogue added that World Week, which will be held next
week, will show the contributions of a diverse population.
There will be displays concerning South Africa, Central
America , and world hunger, he said.

wiarcos alerts forces
F Manila, Phillipines
(AP) President Ferdinand E. Marcos put
the armed forces on “‘red alert’”’ yesterday,
the eve of the’ special presidential election.
In a U.S. television interview, he accused
opponent: Corazon Aquino of saying his
re-election could spark civil war.
Both Marcos and Mrs. Aquino were. in-
terviewed by ABC News “‘Nightline’’ for a
program broadcast late Wednesday and
early today in the United States. The inter-
views were not seen in the Philippines,
wheré official campaigning ended
Wednesday.
Speaking on ‘‘Nightline’’ Mrs. Aquino, |
53, reiterated fears the Friday election may
be rigged in favor of Marcos, who has held
power for 20 years.
Marcos, speaking from the presidential
palace, said any irregularities would come
from Mrs. Aquino’s supporters, and said,
“J am so certain of victory that these
declarations of my opponent — civil war,
in this country—indicates how. desperate
they are.”” |

(AP) U.S. Sen. Edward M: Kennedy
yesterday praised dissident Soviet physicist
Andrei D. Sakharov before. a group of

science is the ability it confers ‘to speak
truth to power.”

superpowers’ views on how to curtail the
arms race differ, but said, ‘‘Our nations
stand on the verge. df a decisive
breakthrough.””
“It is now possible to visualizethe broad
outline of a worthwhile, even historic,
agreement on nuclear arms control bet-
ween the United States and the Soviet
Union,”’ the Massacusettes Democrat said
in his speech. %

Speed plane unveiled
Washington
(AP) It has taken on the name ‘‘Orient Ex-

not too far off when it will fly passengers
across the country and on to Asia in a
scant two hours.
The Pentagon sees it as a super-speed
warplane that could also lift payloads into
space as the next step beyond the space
shuttle. It is called the National Aerospace
Plane by NASA and Pentagon officials, a
project that gained little attention before
being mentioned Tuesday by Presdient
Reagan in his State of the Union address.
The president’s fiscal 1987 budget, sent
to Congress on Wednesday, included $200
million - $45 million at NASA and the rest
at the Defense Department - for early
technological research to develop the
super-speed aircraft before the end of the
century.
AIDS info emerges
Boston
(AP) Now that doctors have clear evidence
AIDS isn’t caught through casual contact,
they should play a more active part in
“quelling the hysteria” over transmission
of the deadly disease, a physician says.
“The picture is . . . clear,”’ Dr: Merle
| A. Sande wrote in an editorial in Thurs-
day’s edition of the New England Journal
of Medicine. ‘The AIDS virus is spread
sexually, by the injection of contaminated
blood and vertically from mother to fetus.
Other modes of transmission are extremely
rare.””
The latest evidence supporting this view
is contained in a study also published in
the journal. Doctors surveyed 101 family
members who lived with AIDS patients,
both before and after they got sick. None
caught the disease.
Dr. Gerald H. Friedland, the study’s
chief author, said, ‘‘We conclude that the
risk of transmission of the virus during
close, long-term contact has to be extreme-
ly, extremely small, approaching zero.
That is very reassuring.””
Budget hurts NY State

(AP) New York officials see a bleak future
for the state’s homeless and New York Ci-
ty transit fares if President Reagan’s pro-
posed 1987 budget becomes law.
Estimates by state and city officials after
Reagan’s budget was unveiled Wednesday
said New York state would lose more than
$2 billion during the fiscal year under the
proposal.

(AP) The suffocation of a 3/4-month-old
girl has led authorities to charge her
mother with murder, and also focus on the
woman’s role in the deaths of her seven
other natural children and ah infant under
her foster care.
“This is the tip of the iceberg,”’ said
Schenectady Police Chief Richard Nelson
of Wednesday’s arraignment of Mary Beth
Tinning, 43, of Schenectady.
She was charged. with second degree
murder in the death of Tami Lynne Tinn-

a.m. on December 20, 1985.

The state’s three-month tax amnesty
Program set a national record of $245
million, more than $90 million greater
than any other state’s amnesty program,
state Tax Commissioner Roderick Chu
said Wednesday. More than 95,000 ap-
plications were sent in since Nov. 1, 1985,
when the program began.
Chu told of a ‘“‘little old lady’? who won
$5,000 in the state lottery and didn’t report
it until amnesty was offered.

RA union plans unveiled at Council
By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER
Student Association President Steve
Gawley announced in his Executive Report
to Central Council Wednesday night that
he was “‘working covertly on a Resident
Assistants’ Union.”’
Gawley later refused to comment
further.
It was only last March when Resident
Assistants on Indian Quad formed a Stu-
dent Association recognized group, Coali-
tion of Resident Assistants, whose purpose
was to provide a forum for RA gripes and
suggestions.
An article appeared in the Albany Stu-
dent Press on March 12, 1985 which said,
“tone University official has already told
group members that they could be fired if
they attempt to use ‘union tactics’ to try
and get changes made in the system.”’
CORA faced many difficulties and did
not survive the spring semester.
Ross Abelow, SA Vice President, said of
the newly proposed Resident Assistants’
Union, “I think it’s potentially a good
idea. It will give RAs a way to voice their
opinions together.””
Also during Council’s Wednesday
meeting, a comment - was made by
Nathaniel Charny, Internal A ffai ir,
who said, ‘‘Is he still [SA] Vice President,
Ross Abelow?””
‘J just meant that I haven’t seen him
arourid Student Association in general,”
said Charny.
“‘Well, I haven’t seen Nate [Charny]
either,”’ said Abelow. “‘I guess we keep
different hours.’? Abelow previously ex-
plained he had been ill.
“T would imagine that the Vice Presi-
dent has a responsibility to repeat on the
duties in his office,” said Charny.
“I would agree with that,” said Abelow.
“Ross has lived up to all the re-
quirements of his office,’’ said Gawley.
“I’m glad to see Nathaniel is interested
in making sure everyone in Student
Association is up there,’’ Abelow said.
“] said that as a joke,” said Charny.
“The reason why it’s so funny is because
it’s true.””
Earlier in the meeting, Central Council
discussed ideas for making themselves
more accessible to students, and especially
off-campus students.
in two weeks, Central Council will be
holding their weekly Wednesday meeting
on Dutch Quad instead of Campus Center

that. A date is expected for a meeting to be
held on Alumni Quad before the end.of the

‘Sexuality Week’ to feature Barbach
By Craig Wortman
STAFF WRITER
The third annual “‘Sexuality Week’’ will
be held next week in the Campus Center,
and will include several workshops and
presentations.
Sexuality Week was originally suggested
in 1983 by a committee of student
volunteers who were enrolled in ECPY
311, a human sexuality class, according to
Valerie Fahey, Administrative Coor-
dinator of Middle Earth. The event is co- ~
sponsored by Middle Earth, the Student
Association, Student Affairs, and the
Counseling Crisis Center.
According to Fahey, the students were
concerned with the community of birth
control, sexually transmitted diseases,
(S.T.D.’s) and women’s health.
“The S.T.D. things (workshops) will
help a lot with fears in dating. It will raise
some issues that are real even if they aren’t
thought about,’’ Fahey said.
“We need to work through the fear and
emotional problems so we aren’t just runn-
ing scared,’ added Dan Rachlin, Outreach
coordinator at Middle Earth.’”’ Asking a
lot of embarassing questions (about
S.T.D.’s) can take away spontaneity; but
you'll sleep better.””
“I think it’s a wonderful week that a lot
of people have put together,’’ said Betty
Ginzburg, SA programming director. “I
think it’s a necessary event on campus and
Middle Earth is doing a good job with it,”
she said.
The keynote speaker of the event is Lon-
nie Barbach, a clinical psychologist and
author of several books.
“Though she’s a feminist,’’ said Fahey,
*‘she deals with both male and female con-
cerns. She’s been a mover specifically in
female sexuality because most books have
been written by men,”’ Fahey said. ‘‘We’re
very excited to have her. Dr. Ruth

Westheimer refers to her alot.””
Among the topics to be addressed in
workshops will be AIDS, inter-religious
dating, love, singlehood, homophobia and
pornography.
Stephanie Hoffman, a SUNYA student
and Middle Earth staff member, will be
presenting a workshop on ‘“‘Good nutri-
tion—Good sex.”
“This will deal with the importance of
eating well, excercising, and self-
acceptance in your sex life. It will relate to
people’s feelings, not their sizes and
shapes,’’ Hoffman said. ‘‘If you’re unhap-
py with the way you look, you probably
won’t have a satisfying sex life.”’
“The focus (of Sexuality Week) is on
self-growth and relationships,” Fahey
said, adding that, “‘Middle Earth found
that programs about relationships were in
the greatest demand. I think we can always
learn to develop communication skills and
enhance our relationships.”’
“It’s the idea of improving a realtion-
ship just for what is is,’’ said Rachlin.
“The thrust of the workshops isn’t to
abrogate an opinion,’’ Rachlin said, ‘‘but
to get people to think.” He said he felt that
the type of relationship that one had isn’t
important. ‘‘I think what matters is the
amount of thinking before you go into it.””
What Middle Earth wants from Sexuali-
ty Week, according to Rachlin is that
“People will come in with open minds,
learn what they can, and improve their
lives. ‘“We’re going in with the assumption
that people are coming in with a lot of
knowledge already, so we’re keeping away
form boring technical things which you
can read,” he said. o

Students using
false proof risk
stiff penalties
By Tom Bergen
STAFF WRITER
Students may find themselves facing a
variety of criminal charges if they are
caught using false I.D.’s to get into
bars, according to local police
authorities.
According to Detective Captain
William Murray of the Albany police
department, ‘‘There’s a million possible
charges, some being more serious than
others, depending on the nature of the
document.”
Murray said that anyone caught with
a false I.D. can be charged with second-
degree criminal impersonation—‘“‘using
a false identification in order to gain
benefit””— which is a misdemeanor.
Depending on how the false I.D. is
obtained, the person using it can be sub-
ject to felony forgery charges as well as
larceny charges, if the 1.D. was stolen
said under-sheriff Edward Phillips of
the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office.
Phillips’ Office is currently in-
vestigating a case in which a Hudson
Valley Community College (HVCC) stu-
dent interning in the Sheriff's office
stole three identification cards. The
three students using the I.D.’s were ar-
rested at Rockwell’s in Latham circle
Mall.
According to Rockwell’s owner Scott
Russel, ‘The doorman asked them for
drivers’ licenses because they looked
young, and they didn’t have any. He
told them to hang on for a second, and
showed me the Sheriff’s I.D.’s.”’ The
Sheriff’s department keeps copies of
their I.D.’s on file, said Russel, who
called the Sheriff’s department. ‘‘So
that tipped it off.’’ said Russel.
The three were charged in Colonie
Justice Court with criminal possession
of a fraudulent instrument. On January
29, the students pleaded guilty to a
reduced charge of disorderly conduct.
The HVCC students may face further
charges in Rensselaer County, depen-
ding on the outcome of the investigation
by the Sheriff’s office.
According to Phillips, ‘‘We try to give
our interns hands-on experience in all
aspects of the sheriff’s office, including
the Identification Unit. There are
periods when they are left alone, but
now I believe we’ll be tightening up on
the freedom our interns are given.’”
John DiNuzzio, owner of Thirsty’s. on
New Scotland Avenue in Albany, has in-
stalled video cameras to protect himself
in situations when false I.D.’s are used.
“We put all proof on camera, so
anyone who does give us phony proof
will be prosecuted.”’ he said.
DiNuzzio said that under State Li-
quor Authority law a bartender can be
charged with selling alcohol to a minor
even if the minor shows a form of proof
that the bartender believes is valid.
‘With the video camera the transaction
is documented so we’ll get a lesser
penalty.”’
If a bar is fined or shut down for ac-
cepting false I.D., ‘‘there is a legal basis
to go after the minor for monetary
damages and a lot of lawsuits are going
to come out of this,’ said DiNuzzio.
DiNuzzio said he blames the increase
in the drinking age on students.
“Twenty-one wouldn’t have passed if
students were more vocal and voted.
Many legislators are anti-anything-
student because they know that students
don’t vote,”’ DiNuzzio said.
DiNuzzio attacked ‘‘all the poppy-
cock coming out of the legislature that
says drunk teenagers cause accidents,
(because) it’s really middle-aged
drivers.””
Statistics from area police depart-
ments back up DiNuzzio’s contention,
according to Officer Nelce of Albany

By Harvard Winters
Whereas some celebrate 25th
anniversaries by taking second

SUNYA’s Atmospheric Science
Research Center celebrated its
25th anniversary Thursday in the
Patroon Room in the Campus
Center.
Several scientists attended the
anniversay dinner Thursday night
including Vincent Schaefer, the
founder and first director of
ASRC, Kenneth L. Demerjian,
the new ASRC director and Ber-
nard Vonnegut, who is currently a
researcher at ASRC in addition to
being on SUNYA’s atmoshpheric
sciences department faculty.
The research center is located at
the intersection of Fuller Road
and Railroad Avenue.
According to Demerjian, the
anniversary is a milestone, but
not, as he says, ‘‘because of the
lasting power, but rather because
of the good science they-(the
researchers) have performed.”

clouds systems (an observatory on
Whiteface Mountain is used for
this purpose), and the education
of the public about pollution and
energy consevation. Demerjian,
who became director a month
ago, said he feels that the
graduate students are an in-
valuable asset in current research.
Although 75 percent of the fun-
ding for the research center comes
from sources other than SUNYA,
it is closely linked to the universi-
ty community. According to
Demerjian, all senior researh
faculty are “informally” required
to teach at SUNYA, and many
are also research advisors to
graduate students,
ASRC has focused on basic,
rather than applied, research.
Researchers are currently attemp-
ting to apply the theories of
Physics and chemistry to such
topics as the formation of elec-
tricity and lightning networks”
within clouds, the formation of
fog, and the adverse effects of air
pollution on weather patterns,
and acid rain.
Vonnegut, who curently is on
the atmospheric sciences depart-
ment at SUNYA, is conducting
lightning research along with
several graduate students. Accor-
ding to Vonnegut, although great
discoveries have been made in’
research, there are very basic oc-
currences which are not
understood, such as why sparks
of electricity form inside clouds,
and how these sparks can form in-
to vast lightning networks up to
100 miles in size.
The ASRC researchers use data
from various sources, including
weather balloons which fly at bet-
ween 120,000 and 130,000 feet.
Photographs taken form NASA’s
space shuttles and U-2 airplanes,
which fly above the cloud cover,
are also used.
The weather station atop
Mohawk Tower on Indian Quad
is also used to collect various
data. According to Vonnegut, the
Station is used to photograph and
measure lightning, wind speed
and direction, temperature and
discharge currents.

Citing problems with the Commucication
Department’s undergraduate advisedment pro-
cess, two students have orgaized Communicators
of Albany State, a group designed for students
interested in the field of communications.
Roxanne Albond and Irwin Weinstein, both
senoirs, are the cochairs of the group. +
The Communicators of Albany is made up of
communications majors, minors, and even non-
majors, said Albond. ‘“‘We’re not just com-
munications majors,”’ Weinstein said.
“Our frustrations were that you’d go to pre-
pre-registration and you’d be advised by a grad
student who didn’t know who you were.’”
The graduate students, Albond said, were not
very familiar with the department, except for
standards taken from the coursebook. One of the
main problems, Albound said, was that
undergraduate advisers did not necessarily have
to complete their undergraduate work at
SUNYA.
“We felt lost. There was a lack of information
and noone knew where to go,’’Albond said.
Citing a problem of not kowing who to go to
for information within the department, Albond
said that students should ask their fellow
classmates about what courses to take.
Kathleen Kendall, chair of the Communica-
tions Department, has agreed to allow some of
the group members to assist the graduate ad-
visors during pre-pre-registration, as far as which
class should be taken and which professor, said
Albond. S
Communicator group forms
The Communicators of Albany will ‘‘be a club
that gets things done,”’ said Albond. there will be
a lot of responsibilities divided among a group of
people, added Albond.
The club is ‘about communcations, we are
trying to find different wasy fo bringing to life
what the communications industry is, said
Albond.
Planning for the group began about a year ago
during budget time, ‘said. Weinstein. Last
semester, the club had its first real meeting, and it
went over well, said Weinstein, adding ‘‘what
was a whim, became a reality.””
The Communicators of Albany is an SA
recognized, non-funded group comprised of
mostly communications majors and minors, but
it is not part of the Communications department,
Albond said, expalaining that the group is ‘‘too
much of an academic group to be funded.”
One idea that has come up is for the club to do
its own advising as far as what courses to take.
The results will be plublished in the newsletter,
which will include the goals of the club, said
Weinstein.
A second idea is a cocktail hour with the com-
munications Department in order to meet some
of the faculty, said Albond.
Weinstein added that a third idea is a possible
career night, where representatives would come
in, set up a table with pamphlets, and talk to
students.
Weinstein said he would like the Com-
municators at Albany to become an official
group not only in the university, but also in the
community,

SUNYA student intends to race
all competition to the Olympics
By Ken Dornbaum
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
To some people running is a
hobby; to Inga Sarda, running
may be the key to the Olympic
trials.
Sarda, a senior at SUNYA, ma-
joring in Public Affairs, said she
has been runn-
ing since her
first year at col-
lege. “I started
running to drop
a couple of
pounds,” she said. “I started out
at two miles a day, working my
way to six and then ten miles a
day. Then I decided to do
marathons.’’
Sarda’s first race was the
“Brooklyn Half-Marathon.” She
came in tenth place with a 1:24:26
time in the 13.1 mile race.
Running coach Tracy Sunlun
approached Sarda after the race
and asked her to join the Women
Street Social and Athletic Club, a
Manhattan based running club.
“Tt is the non-shoe sponsored
team in the country,”’ said Sarda,
adding that membership is by in-
vitation only. ‘Olympians like
Michelle Bush and Cindy
Darempel are on the team.”
Sarda said she trains with the
club in the summer and races
under their name. ‘‘People look
at my uniform and they’re in-
timidated by the club.’”
Sarda, who is originally from
Port Ewen, NY outside of
Kingston said she has always been
athletic and that she lettered in
softball, basketball and volleyball
in high school. She does not
however, race for SUNYA teams.
Last October, Sarda ran the
New York Marathon, which is
26.2 miles. She finished 60th
among the 4,000 women and 13th

among American women.
I was disappointed with the
time. I could have been in at
2:50.” Sarda said. Joan Benoit,
the best American runner finished
in 2:20. “The weather was not
ideal for a marathon. The
temperature was 25 degrees above
normal and it was too windy.’
Sarda said she spends between
55 minutes and one and 4 half
hours running 8-15 miles a day,
depending on whether or not she
is training for a marathon.
“T run anytime I can fit it in. I
prefer evenings.’”’ she said, adding
that discipline is no problem.
“Running in the winter is really
tough though.”
Sarda’s next major competition
will be the Boston Marathon,
which will be held on April 20. “I
expect to do 2:45. It'll qualify me
for the 1988 Olympic Trials,’’
Sarda said.
Sarda is ‘‘basically a
vegetarian. I eat lots of pasta,
fruits, vegetables, and lots of
yogurt,”’ she said. Although she
likes junk food, Sarda said that
“Diet is very important when
you’re running.’”
Sarda said that there may be a
career in politics or law in her
future. Currently, she is working
for Virginia Cipuzzo, the Ex-
ecutive Director of the Consumer
Protection Board of NY.
Sarda may also consider a
career in journalism, having
worked as a reporter for the
Kingston Daily Freemanduring
the summer.
Sarda said her family has
helped her pursue success.
Sarda’s father is a writer and has
published articles in such
magazines as Redbook. He also
wrote a book about being a
“‘househusband.’’ Sarda’s
mother is a professor of educa-
tion at SUNY New Paltz and her
older sister, Sigrid, is an artist liv-
ing in Paris. ‘‘She had a show at
the Palladium last year.”’ Sarda
said. <
Women athletes like tennis
champ Martina Navratilova are
Sarda’s role models. ‘‘They are
much more inspirational and less
pompous than male athletes.’’ she
said.
I’m not sure if I will make it to
the Olympics,”* Sarda said, ‘“‘but
it’s thrilling just to compete.” 1

Bye-elections originally scheduled for
Tuesday, February 18 were rescinded by
Central Council on Wednesday and will in-
stead be held on Thursday, February 20.
The bye-elections will be held in the
Campus Center for off-campus students
and State Quad, for on-campus students.
Tax stickers are necessary, but will be
given out near the polling area if the per-
son voting shows proof of being a
registered student.
“‘When a person resigns from Central
Council, bye-elections are held to fill that
seat,”’ said Steve Landis, an off-campus
representative of Central Council.
The elections will be for one on-campus
and five off-campus Central Council
members. The openings on Council
resulted from the resignations of Michael
Solomon, Gregg Rothschild, Liz Chesnut,
and Michelle Legendre
Steven Russo graduated last semester.
Wally Roberts, the campus represen-
tative resigned last Wednesday. “I don’t
feel I have time to do an effective job,”” he
said. Roberts is presently involved with a
legislative internship.
According to Nathaniel Charny, Inter-
nal Affairs chair, the reason for the deci-
sion was the need for an extra day before
the election to set things up. February 18
was impossible because of George
Washington’s birthday on the 17.
“T personally would support an amend-
ment for two days extension,’’ said Char-
ny during the Council meeting. The mo-
tion was made by Jaclyn Bernstein, Indian
Quad: representative, to amend the elec-
tions to two days.
Central Council chair, Bill McCann said
since the issue had been debated before
and a vote taken, there was no need to

six Central Council seats
open up the debate again.
Landis, then motioned to overrule Mc-
Cann’s decision which was seconded by
Charny. A vote taken to open up debate
on the issue failed, and forced Charny to
take his name off the bill.
“T happen to think it’s nice to be able to
afford a two-day election. It would be an
added cost, and we’re trying to cut down,”
said Central Council Vice-chair Larry
Wasserman. ‘‘Attendance seems to be low
for bye-elelectios anyway. I don’t think it
will make a big difference,” he added. 0

(AP) A stand-up figure of Burger King’s
Herb character wound up behind bars in
Oswego after a college student allegedly
stole it from a fast-food restaurant. A
police officer said Wednesday that Herb
was “‘under protective custody.’’
Police charged 18-year-old Glaen

SUNY Oswego, with petit larceny in
connection with the Tuesday night
disappearance of the life-size cardboard
figure. Lagerwall allegedly took the

Seven Skidmore College students
were charged in a similar incident in
Saratoga Springs last week.

} Although job opportunities in
the computer science, chemistry,
and engineering fields have been
declining, the demand for
graduate in those fields is still
high, according to local university
administrators.
According to Richard Stearns,
SUNYA computer science depart-
ment chair, ‘‘It is harder now to
get jobs, but there are still enough
: jobs to go around.””
Dr. Eric Block, chair of the
SUNYA chemistry department,
said that individuals will have to
work harder to find jobs, and
may experience some difficulties.
“‘Now there are just one or two
jobs availabe to each person, in-
stead of two to four in the past.
Things are just tightening up.”’
According to Vicki Lynn,
Director of the Carrer Develop-
ment Center at Rensselear
Polytechnic Institute (RPI), the
reason for he decline is that
business cycles are on the
downswing. Companies have
been laying employees off due to
competition with Japanese cor-
porations, which is creating pro-
blems with industries here in the
States, she said.
According to Block, ‘‘informa-
tion coming to my office indicates
that there are excellents jobs
available for current graduates
with a B.S. in chemistry—more
jobs than we can fill.” The
General Electric Research Center
is currently in great need of
qualified chemistry B.S.
graduates, he said.
“Surveys of company ex-
ecutives indicate that 80 percent
of the respondents think that the
employment outlook for chemists
in their organizations will range
from good to very good, (but not
excellent), for chemists during the
next five years,”’said Block.
“All of our chemistry students
are employed. One good job is all
that counts,’’ Block said.
“The number of computer
science people being put out has
matched the demand. Jobs had a
high demand, and a lot of people
tried to get in. With the increase
in supply, the demand is being
met.’’ Stearns said.
“Now, enrollments in the com-
puter science department are go-
ing down.”’ he said, referring to
the number of computer science
undergraduate majors
nationwide.
“There seems to’ be more in-
terest now in the Master’s pro-
gram. There are now maybe two
jobs for a Masters’s level person
for every one person trained, as
opposed to a Bachelor’s level,
where the ratio is one to one.”
Stearns said.
Stearns said he feels that “there
have not been problems finding
jobs. There are just more inter-
views and less choices. No people
are failing to find jobs—there are
just fewer offers than there were
before.”’
Job opportunities are declining
in certain areas, but not across the
board, said Lynn. “‘There are
decreases in the semi-conductor
market, which invoves chemical
and electrical engineers, computer
science majors, and computer
engineering majors.” A semi-
conductor is a device that goes in-
to the computer and stores
memory.
Lynn said thast there is still a
tremendous demand for engineer-
ing and science majors. ‘‘The
(job) market is not hurting— it is
just flattening out.””
At this point there still seems to
be considerable activity here (in
the computer science depart-
ment). ‘‘The recruiting activity is
equivalent to what it has been in
recent years for CSI people,”’ said
Stanley Schwatz, Director of the
Science majors continue to be in high demand.
Career Development Center here
at SUNY.
Schwartz said he is handling the
situation by‘‘just being intuitive
and dealing with the narrow
group of companies that come
here as recruiters.” Oo
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Spring grads’ job
prospects may not be quite as positive as previous
reports predicted, the latest testing of American
business’ hiring plans indicates.
The previous reports, moreover, suggested on-
ly slightly better job prospects than students had
last year, when the job market was at a nadir.
“T expect it to be flat, maybe plus or minus one
percent compared to last year,”’ said Victor Lind-
quist, supervisor of Northwestern University’s
Endicott Report, the most recent of the three ma-
jor surveys on job prospects for graduating
seniors.
And previously “‘hot”’ engineering, computer,
and chemistry grads are going to have a much
harder time finding jobs than their counterparts
of the last few years.
“Students are going to have to commit to a
longer job search and *be satisfied with fewer
choices,”’ Lindquist said.
In late November, the College Placement
Council (CPC) projected firms will make two
percent more job offers than they did last spring,
while in December Michigan State’s national
survey of business hiring plans predicted a 1.4
percent rise in job offers for ‘86 grads.
The three surveys ask companies throughout
the country how many first-time job seekers they
plan to hire from the next graduating class.
Lindquist said his report was less optimistic
because it polled firms three months after the
CPC did, and because it does not sample govern-
ment agencies’ plans like the CPC does.
“Our report is pretty close to (John)
Shingleton’s at Michigan (State),”’ he said.
Job opportunities’ growth slows
For only the third time in 20 years, Lindquist’s
“‘population”’ had a declining interest in hiring
engineering majors. There will be six percent
fewer job offers for them this year, the report
said.
The Endicott Report also predicts a nine per-
cent decrease in offers to chemistry majors. The
other reports anticipated a ‘‘slight’’ increase.
The Northwestern survey does agree that com-
puter majors will suffer a five percent decrease in
employment opportunities.
Not all the news is gloomy, however.
There is, Lindquist found, a continuing
employer interest in business and marketing
degrees.
And liberal arts grads have better job pro-
spects this year, the Endicott Report found.
Firms plan to make 12 percent more job offers
to liberal arts grads than they did last year Lind-
quist said.
Companies think liberal arts majors are ‘“‘more
able to deal with disparate thoughts and ideas.
Their thinking is more holistic,’ Lindquist said.
“We need people who can translate computers
into usable terms,” said Steve Bennett, author of
“Playing Hardball with Soft Skills,’’ a soon-to-
be-released book about how liberal arts majors
can break into the job market.
In preparing for the job market, Lindquist
recommends seniors had “‘better hit the ground
running now, get a resume together, know the _
market. You are going to be competing with all
your~classmates. It’s going to be a very com-
petitive year.’” Oo

Scope of blacks’ struggle should
not be limited to King’s legacy
By E. Paul Stewart
MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR
Over the past year or so, there
has been a great deal of discussion
and information transmitted
about our black leaders past and
present. Of those past, only Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. seems to at-
tract the atten-
tion of the Beyond
white media;
therefore he The
stands out as ior
though he was Majority
the: only one leading in our
struggle.
Martin Luther King was a grear
man, a prominent figure in our
struggle. Many of his , ac-
complishments are . visible ‘and
growing today. However, just as
we as individuals are not alone in
the struggle, neither was Dr.
King. Oftentimes, there is a bla-
tant and- seemingly deliberate
neglect of other blacks who
sacrificed individual gains to pro-
vide sustenance to our struggle.
Perhaps this disregard is related
most directly to their individual
philosophies and the inability of
the majority to accept, com-
prehend, and control our
available truths.
We as a people have seemingly
become complacent in terms of
the spreading of the gospel of all
of our wisest men. We have
demonstrated this by accepting
the proverbial “‘bone“* that the
majority has thrown us by ex-
alting Dr. King (who is very much
deserving), and being satisfied by
this, while other great black
leaders fade from our minds;
perhaps never to enter the minds
of our children.
So often people achieve one
goal and are so engrossed in the
victory over one battle, that they
lose sight of the war.
Dr. King’s holiday is very
significant for many reasons.It
gives a day of recognition for a
man who gave so much for
mankind. It gives black people a
holiday to reflect on and to plan
for future gains. It is certainly the
only holiday for a black man that
this country will ever allow.
Let us not pat ourselves on the
back just yet. As I stated in a
speech on Black Solidarity, Day
November 1984...‘until our
brothers all over the world are
free to exercise love, liberty,
justice and the pursuit ‘of hap-
piness... we have not arrived.’
When I think of black leaders
past, many instantly spring to life
for me. The two I would like to
discuss are W.E.B. Dubois and
Malcolm X. One was a leader at
the beginning of this century and
the other was more recent.
Dubois is a man who laid the
groundwork for African-
American studies. He probably
taught us more about ourselves
than any other, in terms of
history. His book “The Gift of
Black Folk”’ documents that
there were black explorers in
America long before the slave
trade. “The Gift’’teaches of the
important contribution made by
slaves to growth of this nation.
Dubois was labeled and criticiz-
ed for being a communist. That
should not (regardless of its
merit) overshadow his contribu-
tion to black and white America.
His work remains —although it is
often neglected. Many writers
have gone even further in depth.
Malcolm X was also an inspira-
tional Black leader. He, too, was
labeled. He was called a ‘hate
preacher’’, ‘‘insane’’, but none of.
these criticisms can overshadow
his importance as a leader in the
black community.
He was loved and respected by
a great many people. His
philosophy was one which instill-
ed black pride, encouraged digni-
ty, and promoted unity. Even if
these accolades were his only ac-
complishments (and they were
not) they would be worth merit.
Any man who can successfully
rally support and promote unity

NEWS UPDATES
Thirsty’s ‘shoots’ patrons
Thirstys, a local bar on New Scotland Ave. has
been using video cameras for the ‘‘last couple of
months” in order to legally protect itself in the
eveat that underage persons, using false I.D.’s,
are served alcohol and later cause an accident or
get arrested, said manager John Dimzeo,.
Dimzeo, who said Thirsts is not in faVor of the
21 year old drinking age, said Thirstys had to use
the system to protect everyone at the bar.
“We video tape everyone that comes in the
door,’’ Dimzeo said. ‘‘It protects the young peo-
ple, and the bartenders and waitreses,’’ he
added.
Snow slows SUNY buses
SUNYA buses have been running up to 25
minutes behind schedule this week due to the
problems caused by the frequent and heavy
snowfalls, according to Arthur Burt, SUNYA’s
Transportation Supervisor.
Burt expained that the recent snowfall has
restricted many parts of Western Ave. to one-
and-a-half lanes, because fresh snow has not
been plowed all the way to the curb. The problem
is aggravated further because people have to park
even farther from the curb, Burt added.
The stretch of Western Ave. between North
Lake and North Allen was,described by Burt as
being the worst area because SUNY A buses and
the city’s CTDA buses often can not get through
because the road is now so narrow.
According to Burt, the Transportation Office
has been in contact with city officials who said
they are working on the problem.
Grad students recognized
The Fulbright-Hays award for overseas studies
was awarded to eight student. They are amoung
563 U.S. winners in the 1985-86 series.
Amoung the eight ' winners was SUNYA
graduate student Rachel F. Baron who will study
teaching English as a Foreign language in West
Germany.
The prestigious Fulbright-Hays awards are ad-
ministered by the Institute of International
Education.
Other winners included Elaine Brown , Martin
Ford, Laura K. Gladstein and Mark Beittel all of
whom are SUNY Binghamton students. Maria
Messina and Peter Rubardt, both SUNY
Stonybrook student and Andrew N. Fox at State
University College at Geneseo.
‘Ambassadors’ sought
Volunteer hosts and hostesses will be needed
for the many social events scheduled to celebrae
Albany’s tricentennial.
“The success of this celebration will depend on
how well we treat those who come to enjoy it,””
said Keith Arnold, President of the Albany
County Convention and Visitors Bureau. and
Chairman of the Tricentennial’s Bisitor In-
dustries Committee. ‘‘We need a corp. of
dedicated and outgoing volunteers who will be
our city’s ambassadors.”’
The first training session will be held on
February 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Albany Institute of
History and Art, 125 Washingon Avenue. To

NYPIRG plans schedule’
Women’s issues, South Africa, Toxic victims,
and passage of the Higher Education
Reauthorization Act (HERA) are among the pro-
jects the New York Public Interest Research
Group (NYPIRG) wili be orking on this spring.
‘‘Where there is an interest, we’ll start a project
if we have the resources,” said Stacey Young,
Project Coordinator for NYPIRG as she describ-
ed how the lobbying group decides on which
issues to concentrate.
“I’m really optimistic about divestment. It had
a slow start last semester, and it’s really taking
off,’’ said Young.
According to Young, NYPIRG will not be us-
ing their resources to campaign agaisnt the
STOPPIRG group that wants to end manditory

Fall accounting program to include computers
By Merri Berlin
SUNYA accounting majors will
find computer training included
in their curriculum this fall as part
of a program being funded by a
major accounting firm.
The Coopers and Lybrand
Foundation, an independent
charitable organization, funded
by the partners of the accounting
firm Coopers and Lybrand, has
given a $20,000 grant to SUNYA
for the program.
According to John Flannigan,
manager of the computer audit
assistance group the grant will
pay for the two SUNYA accoun-
ting professors to be trained in
computer literacy.
During the summer of 1986 Dr.
Roland Minch, associate pro-
fessor of accounting and Dr.J.
Enrico Petri a Certified Public
Accountant and accounting pro-
fessor, will review and revise the
existing accounting curriculum to
increase the use of computer
applications.
Minch and Petri will attend two
seminars for the project.
During the first, scheduled for
May of 1986,.. representatives
from Coopers and Lybrand will”
discuss with the professors what
they would like to-see done at

According to SUNYA_ pro-
fessor Harold Cannon, chairman
of the Accounting Department,
the faculty members chosen to
undertake this task ‘* must be
willing to do the job or must be
affiliated with specific areas of
curriculum development.”
Both professors and students
can gain from this experience,
said Petri. “It will give me a
chance to learn,’’ he added, say-
ing that the project would be “‘a
re-tooling of my knowledge.’
Petri also said that the program
would give to students ‘‘an op-
portunity to work with software
of a ‘Big 8’ accounting firm.”
By incorporating micro-
computers into the curriculum, it
is hoped that student will gain a
knowledgable experience of: the
micro-computer and its usage.

Empty bars
To those persons under the age of 21, New
York State’s recently imposed 21-year-old
drinking age has meant more than a ban on
alcohol — it’s a ban on social life.
To those who are 21 or over, the new drink-
ing age hasn’t solved the problem of people
driving home drunk, which was the reason
behind the age change.
Most college students used to do most of
their socializing in bars. Not everyone went to
drink liquor; many people went just to drink
soda or eat something while hanging out with
their friends. With the new drinking age, most
SUNYA students no longer have this
opportunity.
With the exception of a couple of places, if
you’re not 21 or over, you’re not allowed in any
bar on a weekend, not to drink, not to eat —
not to anything. Bars aren’t offering any alter-
natives; the only choices the underaged seem to
have are movie theatres and bowling alleys.
This isn’t to say that bars are shutting
themselves off completely from the under-21
crowd. One bar serves only juice on Wednesday
nights; another bar won’t serve alcohol on
Mondays and Wednesdays; and another bar
will let the underaged in to eat on Mondays and
Tuesdays. Having only one under-21 night,
and putting it in the middle of the week reflects
poor business sense on the part of Albany bar
owners who have always relied on student
business. But the bars’ failure to consider their
over-21 customers perpetuates a more serious
problem: drunk driving.
Local bars haven’t taken any steps to ensure
that their patrons won’t drive home drunk. A
simple Breathalyzer machine might make a per-
son think twice about driving while intoxicated.
Or maybe local bars should follow the exam-
ple of a bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. At the
Bahia Cabana bar, customers must pay a
25-cent surcharge on their first drink. That
quarter goes to a taxi fund, which provides a
tide home to anyone who is too drunk to drive.
In addition, any bartender noticing a patron
getting drunk will ask for that person’s car
keys. If the person refuses to surrender the
keys, the bar will no longer serve that person.
That policy is posted outside the entrance of the
bar.
If local bars showed some of the same in-
itiative, perhaps the drinking age wouldn’t have
changed, and business would still be booming.
Open house
As you pass through the campus center to-
day, take a moment to stop by the Campus
Center ballroom. Inside you'll find endless op-
portunities to occupy your time, enhance your
resume, and improve your social life.
All of this is available at Group Fair Day,
where members of many of Student Associa-
tion’s funded and recognized groups will be on
hand from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. to invite you to get
involved. If you’ve thought about joining a
group but weren’t sure how to go about it, this
is your chance. If you haven’t yet considered it,
this should be a good time to shop around.
One other opportunity you shouldn’t pass up
is SA day. Student Association is holding open
house today. This is your chance to meet the
students responsible for putting a halt to the
Grouper law, and pushing the SUNY Board of
Trustees to divest all their holdings in com-
panies that operate in South Africa.
While these students take their work serious-
ly, they also have a lot of fun. More important-
ly, they get results. This is your chance to get
involved. Just stop by the SA office today —
it’s on the first floor of the Campus Center,
just past the Moneymatic machines.

Black History Month
The month of February is Black History Month at
SUNYA. In conjunction with this, the Albany State
University Black Alliance is commemorating the many
contributions and accomplishments made by people’s of
African descent.
Today’s column, written by various members of
ASUBA, addresses the meaning of Black History Month.
I’m glad to have the opportunity to express my
thoughts on black history: I’m tired of society distorting
the purpose of Black History Month, placing emphasis on
the month instead of the achievements made by the
“Africans, the slaves and our present day scholars. Society
doesn’t view Black History Month as a time to reflect,
regroup, and react, but as a method to avoid Black issues.
Society would rather give us a holiday and a month, then
deal with our peoples’ social, political, educational and
economical needs and philosophy. How can society be so
hypocritical, praising the achievements of our ancestors
while oppressing us. Black Students we owe it to those
throughout history, who laid the foundation for our
freedom and dignity to continue where they left off. We
must remember, history repeats itself, let us not find
ourselves in the past again; but forging ahead into the
future.
Black Students we must stand up, speak out and have
the determination to fight for what we believe in.
— Veronica Gordon
A time to regroup and recognize our true heritage.
The recognition of our leaders. Those who struggled to
get Blacks where they are today and those still struggling
to keep us here.
Lives and Families have suffered losses, for Blacks.
Why?
For Blacks to be apathetic?
Stand up and be heard. Everyone has the right to speak
or don’t you have anything worth saying?
Black representation on the SUNYA campus comes
from clubs, fraternities, sororities, and from each other.
Don’t let others tell you what your culture is or should
be.
You should already know!
It’s never too late for changes.
Come out and give your support because we are waiting
for you.
Tell us what you want and need and work with us in
getting it.
We can’t stand alone.
— Diane Williams
As we all know Black History Month is now upon us;
\ Black History Month is a reflective period that Black peo-
ple celebrate and rejoice. Rejoice and be proud of the fact
that you are an individual - a Black individual.
We must remember all of those Blacks who sacrificed
themselves for the advancement of our people. We must
remember those who have contributed, those who were
there in our time of need. These people I am Teferring to
need not be celebrities of the past and ptesent, but can be
as extraordinary as you and I.
We are to take pride in ourselves, as an extraordinary
community of people, we should commit ourselves to ex-
eglience. And do everything in our power not to fail, but
if by chance we do not succeed in something, it’s alright.
We will take that failure and use it as a lesson. It would
have served as an obstacle that had to be overcome. No
matter how many dilemas we face, we have to remain op-
timnistic. Do not look upon the past and mourn but look
towards the future and rejoice.
One last thing Brothers and Sisters, always take pride
in what you do and who your are, for we are extraor-
dinary people.
— Horace James
Special greetings to the Black brothers and sisters of
this university and abroad. As I am sure that you are well
aware that Black History Month has arrived.
Let us take a moment to examine as.well as appreciate
those black people who experienced the struggle and
helped us (Black people) to grow. Let us not forget who
we are or become discouraged of what we can be, for God
granted us individually and collectively a gift.
We are proud Black people, so hold your heads up high
and walk with the dignity that we do have.
— Kimberly J. Irby.
Chairperson Education Committee
ASUBA
The significance of Black History Month is not only to
have famous black people to come here and perform, but
to realize and remind us that we need to interact with one
another productively. We as black people on this campus
are ‘Invisible voices” and we need ourselves heard as
well as seen.
Every Black student has something to offer one
another, such as our time, help, creativity, and we all
have in common arich, strong culture. Don’t let this cam-
pus (a predominantly white campus) get in the way of our
well being. Don’t just sit back and let someone else say or _
tell us what to do. Don’t let them drown our voices out!
Stop into ASUBA‘s office. Get on our backs. Tell us
what you want and stand by to contribute help and give
ideas. Let’s stand up and push forward for ourselves!
— Denise Pounder
Black history month is reminiscent of those who helped
in our struggle for identity and equality. It is also a
month which serves to recognize the perseverance of our
forefathers. We must be thankful for their ac-
complishments both individually and as a people. And let
us not honor these black teaders only for this month but
for a lifetime. For the path was paved by people such as
Marcus Garvey, Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King
Jr., “now it is left to us’’.

cAspeculation
am writing this from under a snowdrift. Fortunately, I'm writing in indelible
I ink. | wouldn't want to have to do this twice.
I've chosen this writing place for a reason, It’s not because I like crouching
under five feet of dirty snow in Indian Quad’s parking lot; it’s that I've decided to
stop fighting nature — I've resolved to become one with my environment.
You see, I'm attached to SUNYA. Id like to continue my education here, and
since Albany is not in California or Florida, and since I've already paid this
semester's bill, I must accept the snow and learn to live in harmony with it.
Winters have always depressed me. When I was younger, Halloween was usual-
ly my last night out before spring. I would try to wait out the winter by wrapping
myself in blankets and huddling in front of the electric heater untib Easter. This
upset my parents so much that they began to send me to Florida during school
breaks to get me out of the house. Life was rough in those days.
Choosing a college was a big dilemna for me. I could go south or southwest and
be warm and happy, or I could freeze and be closer to my Long Island home. Then
Theard about the tunnels at SUNYA. I was lead to believe that an on-campus stu-
dent never need see daylight; that everything was connected to everything else.
The decision was made. 3
It wasn’t long before I found out that the dorms aren’t connected to the podium.
I thought about transferring. But, I liked my classes, I had made some friends) and I
had already paid my bill. So after much contemplation, I decided to join the ASP.
That way I would never leave campus center. I would never breath cold air again.
It was fun at first. | memorized the posters at the information desk so I would
never have to ask the common questions. I watched TV in the Commuter Lounge a
lot. I used Money Matic at night without waiting on line. I ate French bread pizzas
for every meal.
But something was wrong. My social life was stagnated. And when December
came, I couldn't even drink at the Rat. I missed my roomate and suitemates. I miss-
ed my hall neighbors. I even missed my R.A.’s. A strange sense of defeat plagued
me.
Could I let mere HzO hinder my lifestyle? No, I couldn't. I closed my eyes and
pictured Eskimos living happily in the snow and rubbing noses all day long. With
that vision in mind and a pen and pad in hand, I went out to a large snowdrift and
dug my way into it to write about my experience.
Now, as sit here, I’m trying to get a feel for the snow. I'm trying to accept it.and
be as happy as an Eskimo.
Now that I've confronted my problem and written about it, I think I can say that
I know how it feels to be at one with the environment. It feels cold. I think it's time |
to head back to the Campus Center.
O! Who can hold a fire in his hand
By thinking of the frosty Caucasus?
4 Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite
By bare imagination of a feast? ;
Or wallow naked in December snow
{By thinking of fantastic summer's heat?
O, no! the apprehension of the good
Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
—Shakespeare, King Richard II, Act I, Scene iii.
——
Rising or falling’s all one discipline!
The line of my horizon’s growing thin!
Which is the way? I cry to the dread black,
The shifting shade, the cinders at my back.
Which is the way? I ask, and turn to go,
As a man turns to face on-coming snow. E

sian for, “Your mother wears
Nikes.” Actually, it translates in
English to “hello.” This past January, the
State University of New York's Empire
State Institute for the Performing Atrs
(ESIPA) went to Moscow and said “hi,”
performing a Broadway-style musical, Rag
Dolly, the Raggedy Ann Musical.
Mike Dermansky
Their six performances, running Jan. 6
— 12 at the Moscow Theatre for Children,
were a part of the cultural exchange pro-
grams drafted at the recent Geneva Con-
ferences. In June, the visit will be
reciprocated by a visit to the Egg made by
Madame Natalia Sats’ ballet company,
with a performance of The Blue Bird.
This exchange, brought about after two
years of communications between ESIPA’s
program director, Patricia B. Snyder, and
Natalia Sats, has been referred to as a sym-
bolic first step towards the goal of peace.
Governor Cuomo said of the cultural ex-
change, “The sound of voices raised in
song will seek to lead us on the road to a
better understanding between nations.”
Arlene Leffe, ESIPA’S Intern Program
Administrator, explains her experience
with children in Moscow. “I came in with
two set up penpals and other letters. Word
leaked out and before | knew what was
happening I was completely mobbed by
children for more letters. Then they started
asking me for my autograph. When I told
them I was a teacher they didn’t care. It
was like I was a celebrity.”
She was impressed by the theatre lobby,
which sported a baby grand piano where
the children sing songs, beautiful
mahogony tables with crayons and paper
laid out and a puppet room. The theatre
becomes an explosion of creativity and
thought for children.
Janet Gerrain, an educator-in-residence
who worked in the costume shop, noted
how extremely orderly and attentive the
Soviet children were. She discussed the
fine line between order and oppression.
7. drast-vwe-tyeh — That’s not Ru-
“You never saw a group of teenagers walk-
ing together to a park. It felt a little forced,
ominous.”
Peter Davis, a technical director who
worked backstage, said he found no anti-
American sentiment. The people he work-
ed with were very professional and, on the
whole, much older. The men at the theatre
had typically married at around age 20 and
started families early in their careers.

Gary O. Aldrich, a 1970 graduate of
SUNYA who played a lead role in the
play, is glad to be home. “Nothing
Prepares you for the difference,” said
Aldrich.
Yes, it is a different lifestyle. There are
three Russian radio and television stations
— all government run. Consumer goods
are in sparse supply. The ESIPA actors

outlets, appliances, and even eyeliner with
them. “Nothing,” Aldrich said, “prepared
us for the change. I've read books, I've
studied in the Russian Department.
Idealistically, every American should go
there to live the difference.”
Why was this particular play chosen? In
Rag Dolly a child's parents are divorced,
and extravagance and decadence are
reflected in the overdone staging of the
musical. In fact much of the audience was
overwhelmed by the production. People
asked if it was an opera, as they has never
seen performers sing, dance, and act all in
one show.
At the end of the play warmth and hap-
piness win — which is expressed in the
lyrics — so warmth and happiness prevail.
Two prevalent observations in the group
were the warmth of the people and the fact
that the children in Russia seemed to be the
privileged class. This image seems in grave
contrast to the cold killer Ruskies who
even root against Rocky (though he proves
them capable of change).
Gwen Smith, Associate Director for Ad-
ministration, recalled. that, when checking
out of the hotel, she returned her room key
to a hotel worker. The woman gave her a
big hug and, with tears in her eyes, said,
“Peace.”
The company stressed the many
similarities between the Russian people
and themselves, despite the differences in
government and lifestyle. Often, visitors
go to the U.S.S.R. expecting to reinforce
their previous conceptions of the country.
As with the ESIPA group, this is not always
the result of their experiences. Media con-
tact Ron Nicoll shares a saying among
media people, “Reporters go to Russia for
one year and write a novel, five years and
they'll write an article, and 10 years and
they'll write nothing.”
The members of ESIPA don't feel that
their trip will have any effect on the
Nuclear Arms talks. Still, on a personal
level, it was a symbolic step toward open
communication and world understanding.

Brian Feinblum
Agatha Christie would have been proud
of the entertaining production that director
John Vreeke made of her 1891 play.
Christie, known as the “Queen of Death,”
did not write a typical who-done-it murder
mystery, but rather a play which allows us
to look at the characters and concentrate
on the ideology of the main character, Pro- _|
fessor Herdyk, played by special guest of
ESIPA, Joel Swetow.
“Verdict is a play with an idea,"explains -
director John Vreeke. Christie had a notion
in her head that she wanted us to look at.
That notion, simply stated, is that there is
great danger in. being. overly: principled
and, as.a result, dogmatic in thinking and
living.”
Do not despair, murder fans — there is a
murder, a crime of passion, which is.com-
mitted in the first act. The identity of the
murderer is exposed, and from there the >
play picks up speed to a climactic and sur-
prise filled second act.
Besides a murderer on trial, it seems the
main. character is on trial. His concept of
humanity and his allowance of principle
and personal ethics to provide his own law,
is contrasted by the-written law of right
and wrong. He has blind faith in humanity
and expects that people will always do the
right thing, which may require breaking
the law.
Swetow, who toured previously with
the National Shakespeare Company and
Allison Janney as Lisa questions Professor Hendryk's rigid idealism in ESIPA’s
appeared regularly for ABC's serial One
Life to Live, is very convincing as Professor
Herdyk. The immigrant is highly principl-
ed in his strict adherence to his own codes
of ethics and indirectly causes the destruc-
tion of innocent lives.
Vreeke, who previoulsy worked with
ESIPA in his adaptations of The Prince and
the Pauper, explains that he took a three
hour play and cut out the “boring portions
and long, drawn out speeches that lack a
flow of action” to yield this smooth and
entertaining production of Verdict.
The two hour production at the Egg is
performed by a resident cast, an organiza-
tion consisting of a dozen regular actors of
ESIPA. Among the ESIPA cast members,
Betsy Normile is excellent in her portrayal
of the professor's annoying wife, Anya.
Also in love with the professor is:a rich,
spoiled, and selfish student, Helen, por-
trayed by attractive Jeann Vigliante.
Allison Janney plays the professor's other
admirer, a nurse named Lisa who, despite
her love for Herdyk, is devoted to his wife,
Anya. Janney, a guest performer of ESIPA,
previously performed with Joanne Wood-
ward's Acting Company in Manhattan.
Joel Aroeste, a SUNYA graduate of the
class of 1971, plays the loyal Dr. Stoner. A
nine year veteran of the company, Aroeste
has performed a diversity of major roles
since ESIPA’s inception.
Joel Swetow enjoys his role in the play.
“I am a perfectionist,” he states. “The play
was to keep moving in order for it to be
believable. If you don’t have reality, you
don’t have much. I am happy with my
performance.”
rendition of Verdict.
Vreeke points out, “The:cast.was very,
very helpful in the production.” ESIPA has
just performed Rag Dolly in Moscow and
had to fit rehearsals around the trip.
“We did two weeks before and two
weeks after,” he explains. Although about
a quarter of the original play was deleted,
the script was kept intact. “I was just liberal
in text when it concerned cutting down
speeches,” Vreeke claims.
According to John Hamlin of public rela-
tions for ESIPA, “Verdict is an enormous
draw for the theater.” All 900 seats were
sold out for opening night, but tickets are
still available for the last performances,
Feb. 7 and 8 at 8:00 p.m. Students tickets
are $8.00 or may be purchased 30 minutes
before the show for $5, if available. For

And he had no trouble with the part.
“Well, that’s something 1 am anyway,” jokes
Remar in his trademark husky voice. “I'm a real
nice caveman of the future.”
Generally known to the public as the heavy,
based on his memorable portrayals of Dutch
Schultz and Ganz in The Cotton Club and 48
Hours respectively, Remar nevertheless felt at
home in the role of Creb. “Creb is the tribal
Shaman, a magician. The specific term they use
in the book is Mog-ur,” Remar clarifies. “I play
Ayla’s (Daryl Hannah) foster father, in effect.”
“It wasn’t much of a strain, because the
character's actions don’t go as directly against
my nature as something like murder does. I’ve
always enjoyed tales of the past, the imaginery,
the unrecorded history. Somy mind was really
free. This character had the best things going
for him, in contrast to performing something
where you're a killer, for example, and acting
out of real fear. You become very afraid and
very paranoid.”
“Creb is quite fearless and very open to ex-
perience. | tried to open my internal windows
to the less black and white things you can
understand without putting into words. The
more you open yourself up to these kinds of ex-
periences, the more they come to you.”
Clan of the Cave Bear features a minimum of
dialogue (by John Sayles), much of which was
created specifically for the project. “There was
also a sign language which we prepared exten-
sively for,” Remar adds. “This is a big difficulty
for the producers. They were concerned that

Acting philosophies
Cave Bear provided Remar the occasion to
shed the “character actor” label ascribed him
following The Cotton Club. “Cave Bear gave
me the opportunity to explore other areas
myself, and gives others a chance to see I'm
capable of doing other things. I'm an actor, not
just one personality who happens to be mean,”
Remar asserts.”
“| think any good actor is a character actor.
Marlon Brando is a charcter actor, so is Robert
DeNiro. If I'm playing one role and it’s different
from my previous role, I play that new role.
There are actors who insist that the role be
tailored to match their personalities rather than
alter their behavior to suit the role.”
“You have to do personal preparation for any
scene in the interior sense, the emotional sense.
That's all involved in my technique of acting. I
am a method actor. Preparation for a scene
varies, but you do have to engage in emotional
recall and beyond,” he insists. “Emotional recall
is a very basic beginning step. You then have to
put yourself into that frame of mind which is
appropriate for the scene you're doing by
sweeping out whatever debris of the day has
gathered and bringing yourself back to the
role.”
Once off the set, however, Remar is once
again Remar. He puts no credence in the style
of acting in which the actor remains in character
after the director yells, “Cut!”
“That's just bullshit. Nobody can do that. It’s
not acting. You do as much as you can, but you
must conserve your own energies. I do,
however, begin to take on aspects of a
character, or I'm more aware of certain things
during the day that the character may respond
to.”
“Being an honest actor, to be an honest actor,
Ihave to explore the native areas of other peo-
ple, areas which are not necessarily my own.
Ive been enjoying an evolution of my own per-
sonality in conjunction with my work. | have
learned an awful Jot about myself and other
people because I've absorbed areas of human
behavior I never would have come in contact
with had I chosen to do something else with my
life,” he shares. “I have really come into contact
with a lot of varied and incredible human
qualities on account of my work.”
Becoming an actor
The world of acting has been everything
Remar expected and more — far more. His first
fascination with the craft developed in
childhood, as he sat engrossed through horror
movie after horror movie and noted the pathos
and sympathetic responses the monsters usually
evoked.
“The Frankenstein monster is one of the most
sympathetic cinematic figures I've ever seen,”
Remar opines. “I thought I was going to be a
make-up artist. I became involved in some
school plays because of my make-up skills. I
would apply these make-ups and create
characters that were very ugly on the outside
and misunderstood, but were essentially very
gentle creatures. For some reason | related to
that.”
“T couldn't say I prefer
stage work over film
acting. They are both
so incredible, both such
rewarding experiences.”
“Then I saw the movie Spartacus and became
obsessed with Spartacus. The telling of that tale,
which is a true story, appealed to me. So I chose
to become an actor hoping to experience as
much of the human experience as possible. I _
never did it solely to make a living — just for
the bucks. Acting has always been something I
hoped had artistic merit. I think film acting is a
very modern, new thing, which is not fully
understood yet. It may be more important that
we realize.”
In order to facilitate his goals, Remar studied
with Sandy Meisner and Stella Adler, both of
whom were members of the prestigous Group
Theatre. Remar excitedly describes Adler as
“the mékt eloquent lady you could ever hope to
listen to. She’s just brilliant. The Group Theatre
is what you could call my formal training.
Walter Hill and Francis Coppola (who directed
Remar in The Warriors and 48 Hours, and The
Cotton Club,‘ respectively) were tremendous
teachers. I try to learn from every acting ex-
perience I have.”
Remar also took to the stage, which he con-
siders “a sacred place.” He says, “I love the sense
of unity between the actors, and between the
actors and the audience.” He has appeared on
Broadway in Bent with his Cotton Club co-star,
Richard Gere, and Off-Broadway in a number
of productions, Remar professes a true love of
both film and stage, commenting, “I couldn't
say I prefer stage work over film acting. They
are both so incredible, both such rewarding
experiences.”
The future
A rewarding experience Remar missed out
on was Aliens, the sequel to Ridley Scott's
Alien, which would have been the actor's first
outing in a science fiction picture. “It was a four-
month commitment in a foreign country, which
I was willing to make,” asserts Remar.
“Unfortunately, urgent matters at home re-
quired that I return to the states and attend to
them. They got someone else and I came home,
took care of the problems, and moved on to
something called Band of the Hand (directed by
Paul Michael Glaser of Starsky and Hutch
fame). It’s about a bunch of juvenile delinquents
who are brought out of their reformatory by a
youth worker who helps them learn about
themselves and working together. | play a big-
time drug dealer. The role is something along
the lines of a modern day Dutch Schultz.”
James Remar is a complex man and actor.
Note the order of the words. Remiar’s acting
underscores and promotes his commitment to
understanding and expressing the human condi-
tion. “That's why I play quite a variety of roles,”
Remar whispers gruffly. “I’ve played
everything from a gay dancer in Cruising to
Dutch Scultz in The Cotton Club. James Remar
is a student of life.
“'m expressing myself by acting. I'm learning
about myself, and I'm making a living. [ hope to
do much more of it, so I can contribute my
share to the world. I'm looking forward to this
decade being the one in which I really come in-
to my own.” s o

Bitter Hope at the NYS Museum
across some cables sent to and from
the U.S. State Department. These
cables described the horrors of the
Holocaust and asked the U.S. for help. The
State Dept.'s reply was “Stop telling us. We
don’t want to hear.”
Stacey Kern
When these cables were discovered by
the two men, Franklin Delano Roosevelt
was alerted and pressured to take some ac-
tion. He did. Six days later he launched the
War Refugee Board, and six months later
he announced that 1000 holocaust refugees
would be invited to the U.S. as “guests of
the President” for the duration of the war.
Of the thousand, 982 refugees made it
to an army base set up in Oswego, New
York. The story of these people and their
treatment by the U.S. is the focal point of
a new, permanent exhibition at the New
York State Museum entitled Bitter Hope:
From Holocaust to Haven.

couldn’t summon, Ruth Gruber, author of
the book Haven which details the Oswego
story, got up to speak. Gruber was the per-_
son chosen to bring the refugees from Italy
and the one to record their experiences.
She told the audience, “I had been born a
Jew, but on that ship I became a Jew. I
learned about Jewish courage . . .” Gruber
stressed the fact that the 982 refugees
represented 18 nationlities and included 73
Roman Catholics, 28 Greek Orthodox, and
7 Protestants. ;
Although she spoke glowingly- of the
refugees’ experience in the camp and how
their children were accepted into the
Oswego schools, too many questions re-
main. Why is it that while United States
immigration quotas were less than 50 pet
cent filled, thousands of Holocaust
refugees were denied immigration? Why,
even after 18 months in Oswego, were the
982 refugees expected to return to Europe?
Even after President Truman finally decid:
ed to allow them to become U.S. citizens,
the refugees had to leave the country and
re-enter through Canada to “immigrate.”
Why?
These are disturbing questions, and no
one seems to have any real answers. Gor-
don M. Ambach, Commissioner of Educa-
tion, mentioned new books designed to
teach elementary and secondary school
kids about the Holocaust. He pointed out’
that thousands of children will pass
through the museum and have the oppor-
tunity to see and judge for themselves
what the reality of the situation was.
Perhaps this phenomenal exhibit and the
Oswego story will teach them that evil
favors no countries. As’ Toni Morrison
said, “We must be alert to the damage we
can do — we the people.” Qo

NYPIRG not there
To the Editor:
Ahh, the dogmatism of the right once again invades the
editoral columns. Mark Edwards’ sanctimonious essay in
the ASP demonstrates once again the ranting ignorance
of the right wing in our society.
I will not address the insulting way you talked about
those who choose homosexuality, and are not afraid to
demonstrate their views. Let me simply say that I am not
a homosexual, and I was personally offended that you
would even suggest that they ‘‘try it once’? — what a
childish and downright stupid thing to say. I would like to
address, however, your attack on an organization that I
have worked with for a long time — NYPIRG.
Mr. Edwards knows nothing about NYPIRG. Nor was
he at the demonstration of Silent Scream. How then, Mr.
Edwards do you gain the knowledge that NYPIRG
demonstrated against the movie? And where do you get
the blatantly false idea that NYPIRG has ever had a
stance on abortion? Mr. Edwards, I defy you to find one
NYPIRG poster advocating a stand on abortion, or ONE
instance where our State board took such a stand, or
ONE measly penny of the money NYPIRG is given by
students that went towards ANY project work or action
on this issue. The simple FACT, Mr. Edwards, is that you
cannot. You, like the makers of the movie Silent Scream,
chose to use anything, white lie, perversions, or outright
lies and falsehoods to support your dubious and dogmatic
argument.
Maybe someone told you that members of NYPIRG
were there. They were. I was. But are you saying that
because I am a member of an organization that receives
student funds that I cannot say what I feel and protest
against what I feel is wrong? Maybe you should tell Steve
Gawley that. Or maybe, because Mr. Reagan is paid with
public money, you should tell him not to speak at any
religious engagements, or support the anti-choice group.
Of course, you would not do that. Most Americans would
consider that fascism.
It is one thing to write an editorial supporting the
movie Silent Scream. That, of course, is very possible,
and would not have angered me as much as your
malicious ranting did. What you wrote in Tuesdays ASP

was a sanctimonious rhetoric. You lied about NYPIRG,
you insulted homosexuals, and exploited the freedom of
the editorial page with your self-serving, self righteous
drivel.
GALA’s voice
To the Editor:
I just read the editorial in Tuesday’s ASP denouncing
the rally against the film ‘Silent Scream’’, as a bunch of
lesbian man-haters. I feel I should make a few corrections
where the facts are lacking in this article. First, GALA
had nothing to do with the rally. Only three of our people
were at the rally, and that was for personal reasons. Se-
cond, we were hardly a radical or vehement group. We
made it a point to remain calm and reasonable. The third
objection I have is to _ the blatant lesbian baiting. The
suggestion that the lesbians in the group try sleeping with
men is sick! What does this have to do with abortion? As
for your remarks on lesbianism — are you the alter-
native? I was both the woman in the photograph (with the
button you mentioned) and the lesbian quoted in the arti-
cle, I resent your associating my lesbianism with the rally.
was there as a woman concerned for my rights. I run the
risk of getting pregnant as well (In fact, a far greater risk
than you run of getting pregnant!)
How are we supposed to discuss this issue when facts
— Joe Sammons
- are obviously not important to you? How can we listen to
you when you are defending a movie that has been altered
to convince us of your position?
For anyone reading this letter who wishes to hear both
sides of the story, please attend the showing of “‘Silent
Scream” and the rebuttal to it (courtesy of Planned
Parenthood) during Woman’s Health and Safety
Awareness Week (Friday, February 28).

IKG still here
To the Editor:
There are a few errors in your article on University
Cinemas in the Friday, January 31 issue of the ASP. The
major error is the quotation of Lisa Feerick saying that
the International Film Group ‘‘recently folded.’’ As co-
chair of IFG, I can assure you that we have not folded.
We are presently suffering the same equipment problems
that are plaguing UC. Last semester we were able to run
our program with the help of UC’s equipment as they
were with ours. At present all three of our projectors are
broken and I am awaiting their repair and trying to get
clearance to use Lecture Center One where we traditional-
ly show our films on Tuesday evenings.
The larger problem that faces both UC and IFG is not
equipment but getting an audience for the films. In the
Spring of 1984, IFG was’ allowed to perish, a victim of
student apathy. It was resurrected by concerned film
students, the aid of the film professors on campus, and a
2,000 dollar grant from UAS. Since IFG receives no for-
mal funding, we run on a very tight budget and with the
help of our interested volunteer meribers we have manag-
ed to survive. Now, not only is IFG feeling this student
apathy, but also University Cinemas, which normally
shows more commerical. films. At University Cinemas
showing of Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M For Murder, a
rather commercial classic, not more than 30 people at-
tended. It is disgusting that out of a campus of some
15,000 students not more than a handful are interested in
seeing an intelligent film, I guess they’d rather watch
“The Colby’s’’, “Night Court’, and ‘‘Cheers’’.

A conversation
To the Editor:
L overheard this conversation January 30, in the “‘com-
muter lounge.” The commutér lounge is located in the
campus center in a large room which also houses our two
SUNYA billiard tables. It was during these two fellows
pool game that one of these guys, the short one, was tell-
ing his friend about the unfairness many of us, here, en-
duce to please another group. This is the way the conver-
sation went:
The short guy started by telling the tall guy that he
preferred ‘‘listening”’ instead of ‘‘seeing’’, amusement
while playing pool.
“What?” the tall guy replied. ‘I mean,”’ the short guy
paused, ‘‘Instead of the administ! ation hiring a gay and
lesbian society to entertain the billiard players I'd rather
listen to the radio.””
The tall guy laughed. ‘‘Hold on,”’ he said, ‘“‘Now,
granted this here is a gay and lesbian lounge — because
what I’m watching here sure does appear that way — do
you think President O’Leary realizes you’d prefer listen-
ing , rather than watching the lounge show, just ten feet
from this pool table.”’
“Maybe we should tell someone,” the short guy
replied. ‘‘Because if we moved the Jounge show upstairs,
we could fit extra tables, plus we wouldn’t have to wait so
long every time we fancy playing.’’
“Your right,” the tall guy said. ‘‘The waiting, the
entertainment, the idea of billiards and background
music, my, we really should change this place around.””
He laughed and continued, ‘‘I don’t even care for the
amusement myself; you know, I can control myself, and
they aren’t respecting my beliefs at all.’’
“‘Whoops,” cried the short guy. ‘I dropped the
chalk.”” -
“And I’m not picking it up,’’ screamed the tall guy.
And they laughed and played.

Quality of education
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter to heighten the awareness of my
fellow students about the quality of education they are
receiving. Many people today go to college with the inten-
tion of getting an education. They want to be prepared
the future and gain a multitude of knowledge that will
make life that much easier in the years to come.
Unfortunately this is not a true picture of the scenario
that actually takes place. Due to the way this universities
priorities are established (or any university for that mat-
ter) educating the minds of tomorrow is not their top con-
cern. Professors are pressured be means of tenure, salary
increases, etc. to make research and publishing the in-
tegral part of their life at this university. Being a good
teacher is a distant second to being a professor who
publishes often, and there are no intrinsic benefits for be-
ing an.instructor who conveys his message well, aside
from the fact that the students will appreciate him.
I'd like to openly challenge this university to adopt a
policy reorienting its values and make us students the top
priority, the way colleges ought to be. We pay our tuition
and we deserve our moneys worth, and we don’t deserve
and won’t stand for the mediocrity that the university
holds as its standards. I’d also like to encourage fellow
students to let their professors know when they’re doing
an exemplary job and let them know they’re appreciated.

Student Action Committee Chair
Silent scream
To the Editor:
I feel I must respond to Mark A. Edwards’ column
(ASP 2/4) on the showing of ‘‘Silent Scream’’. Surely so-
meone must.
To begin with, Mr. Edwards states that, yes — the
speed of the film may well have been doctored in order to
enhance the emotional impact, but that “‘this in no way
negates the sequential reality of the fetus’ response.”” Mr.
Edwards — I beg to differ. The speed of the film is im-
portant since the film set out to prove that the 12-wk.
fetus not only feels pain, but actually attempts to move
away from the doctor’s apparatus. This “‘frantic activi-
ty’? on the part of the fetus is a reflexive response
resulting from movement of the uterus and its contents
during the operation. Furthermore, a 12-wk fetus has not
yet developed a cerebral cortex (gray matter covering the
surface of a mature brain). Without it, pain impulses
simply cannot be received or perceived. So, Mr. Edwards,
the speeding up of the film most definitely “negates the
sequential reality of the fetus’ response,”’ since doing this
would create a more believable, and emotionally upset-
ting, perversion of the truth.
As for the comment about this being “‘“NYPIRG’s most
shameless foray into the political arena,” it should be
noted that NYPIRG was jn no way connected with the
protest of YAF’s screening of the movie. Obviously
Stacey Young’s private participation in the protest was
confused with her role as Project Coordinator for
NYPIRG. Just for the record, NYPIRG is a non-partisan
organization. It takes no stand on the issue of abortion,
and did not participate or spend “‘mandated funding’’ on
the protest. Mr. Edwards — if you had checked your
facts you too would have known this.
Furthermore, the column states that ‘no group’s in-
volvement in the protest is more illegitimate and corrupt
than that of the lesbian hate-mongers from GALA.”’ Mr.
Edwards-the issue of abortion is awoman’s issue. It is
the issue of a woman’s control over her own body, and
her choice whether or not to have a child. Being a lesbian.
does not mean being subject to the same dangers of rape
and incest. To guote Margaret Sanger, ‘“‘No woman can
call herself free who does not own and control her own
body.”
Mr. Edwards, your comment that ‘‘a ‘scare’ or a real
pregnancy is a special hell for men,”’ was a grave insult to
any woman who has ever had to deal with an unwanted
pregnancy. You cannot compare your pain with that of a
woman who finds herself pregnant with, perhaps, her
rapist’s child. You cannot compare your troubles with.
those of a woman who, if abortion is made illegal, will
have to face a life-threatening back alley abortion. Let us
remember that, whén it comes right down to it, it is the
woman’s problem, and, at least for now — her choice.

“Our students come to this

bring with them prejudices they

Pogue said.

observation is made, the universi-

“Many people are from basically
homogeneous schools, including
minorities. When they came to
this environment tensions exist.
Not that they didn’t before, but
people start speaking on it an ad-

According to Colonial Quad

firmative actions were adhered to
by their purpose, that is by virtue
of the job.”

Community Relations at the
Albany police department. ‘‘Most
people we see arrested for D.W.I.
are over 21. Very few of them are
between 18 and 21.”
According to Phillips, the
Rensselaer County Sheriff’s of-
fice made 28 D.W.I. arrests in
January. Five of those arrested
were under 21, while 19 of them
were between 21 and 39 years old
he said.
Murray said that the Albany
Police Department has no special
unit to enforce the drinking age,
but that ‘‘there are times a spot
check may be called on an
establishent, but its usually in
response to a complaint or some
reasonable suspicion that they’re
inflicted, they felt they had-that
extra bit to overcome by vitrue or
their ethnic background, when in
reality they had none to over-
come,”’said Cantwell. ,
Beckham’s book quoted one
student’s compaint that blacks on
the universiy varsity teams ‘‘can
be counted on three fingers.’
However, university athletic of-
ficials disagreed with the charge.
“Tt was not a fair sampling, it
was not a scientific study,” said
Dr. William Moore, Director of
University Affairs.
Moore said he has observed a
very positive, comraderie on
SUNYA’s teams. “‘I’ve traveled
with the football and basketball
teams and attended as many
home meets and matches as I can.
I never saw any problems,” he
said.
According to Mark Rivers,
chair of the Inter Collegiate
Athletic Committee (ICAC), “I
think there is some racial tension
on campus but then there is on all
campuses. Albany is no different.
I think it’s racial tensions that
stem form society, not SUNY

According to Given, ‘‘Bar
owners don’t want to lose their
license and they’ll call us if they
have someone who insists on
drinking.”
DiNuzzio said, “We don’t
want to see anyone get arrested,
but if they started a stink, I’d call
the police. If people want to have
a drink, I don’t see that as a
crime, but 21 is the law and I have
to abide by it.”
“No one that I know of has
ever been arrested at Thirsty’s for
drinking underage.” DiNuzzio
said.

Minority students report increasing tensions
Philadelphia
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
When University of Penn-
sylvania students returned to
campus a few weeks ago, Legal
Studies Lecturer Murray
Dolfman wasn’t there.
No one knows why Dolfman,
whose presence has exacerbated
racial tensions on the campus
since he alledgedly referred to
black students as ex-slaves and
made other questionable remarks
in his class in 1984, didn’t show.
But even in his absence,
Students report ‘‘a huge amount
of racial tension, a real lack of
faith in the administration,” a
feeling that “the administration
will react to a crisis, but they
won’t prevent one.’”
Penn isn’t alone.
Minority students on a startling
number of campuses have com-
plained, almost in unison, of
escalating racial tensions in the
last three months.
And in almost all cases, they
claim administrators are less sen-
sitive to their feelings of isolation.
Observers think it’s because the
Reagan administration no longer
forces large institutions to push to
hire and recruit minorities, or to
continue to integrate their cam-
puses actively.
“People at schools who
thought affirmative action was a

nuisance use Reagan’s lead to
support them in not doing
anything,’’ says Robert Ethridge,
affirmative action officer at
Emory University in Atlanta and
president of the American
Association of Affirmative Ac-
tion Administrators.
“And the president sets the
tone on campus. Why should
lower-level administrators care if
he doesn’t?’’ Ethridge asks.
Ethridge reports “more than
just a few incidents’’ of college
presidents demoting affirmative
action officers.
For example, officers who once
reported directly to the campus
president now find their desks
moyed to more remote offices,
and their once-direct lines to the
president are now intercepted by
two or three medium-level
administrators,
“All of this indicates to the
campus that the affirmative ac-
tion officer no longer has clout,
that black concerns are no longer
important,’ Ethridge says.
“It means you don’t have the
influence you once had, so lower
level administrators say, ‘we
don’t have to try, either’.””
Administrators still haven’t
responded, for instance, to
University of Albama student
Vice President John Merill’s
disturbing survey finding showing
UA students still have ‘‘real-racist
feelings.”
“They'll listen to it, but won’t
act on it until the turn of the cen-
tury,”’ Merrill says.
“The administration won’t do
anything against alums, anyway,
and it’d be fine with them if
blacks didn’t even go to school
here,” Merrill adds.
Frustrations with perceived ad-
ministrative footdragging are
near the boiling point at Texas,
too, reports UT Black Student
Alliance (BSA) President Kevin
Williams.
Black students, only three per-
cent of the Austin campus’ enroll-
ment, daily feel isolated, Williams
says, as they walk by ‘‘four or
five buildings named after KKK
members, a statue of Jefferson
Davis, and another building nam-
ed after a former UT persident
who said he’d never admit a black
to this school.”’
Less ephemerally, black
students were angered by two re-
cent cases of ‘‘very well-known
racial discrimination’ by the UT
police.
But the police refused four of
five times to meet with BSA to
discuss the incidents, and, when
BSA appealed to it for help, the
administration “‘didn’t respond.””
Now black students, also upset
by a silent administrative
response to a minority recruit-
ment proposal, are ‘“‘either leay-
ing or getting fed up,’ UT
counselors report.
Nationwide, feelings of ‘thav-
ing second-class status’? are
becoming more prevalent, says
Jacqueline Fleming, a Barnard
psychology professor and author
of ‘‘Blacks in College.””
She says official inattention
makes them feel “abandoned.”
Florida drinking age increase to
West Virginia black students
responded by instigating a street
fight, says Fredericka Wallace,
president of the Black Unity
Organization.
She says racial tensions have
been building since August, but
blacks felt they ‘could not go to
authorities because we’d be
laughed at.”
At Connecticut, Puerto Ricans
demanded an apology from the
school’s mascot when he blew his
nose with the Puerto Rican flag at
a basketball game. Ad-
ministrators’ slow reaction pro-
mpted one professor to note, “If
any of us had done this to the
American flag, we’d have been
fired, or slapped in the face.’’
At Penn, it was President
Sheldon Hackney’s slow response
— and eventual refusal to in-
tervene — in the Dolfman case
that turned a minor incident into
a 15-month ordeal that has soured
race relations on the campus.
As a. result, says Graduate
Minorities Council President
Wayne Glasker, racial tensions
have reached a “‘crisis point’’.
Afro-American Studies Pro-
fessor Jacqueline Wade added
that students complain constantly
of racism among their peers and
Particularly from the
Philadelphia and campus police,
who recently arrested a black stu-
dent for refusing to leave the steps
of Penn’s dental school.

Daytona Beach
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The capitals of spr-
ing break hedonism — Daytona Beach and Fort
Lauderdale — are trying to change their images.
Both communities are sponsoring organized
activities aimed at somehow moderating student
drinking during the spring break invasions of
March and April.
“What has gone on before was a Sodom and
Gomorrah affair,” said Jerry Nolan, spokesman
for Daytona’s National Collegiate Sports
Festival, which is supposed to draw students into
activities More constructive than with those with
which Sodom, Gomorrah, Daytona and Fort
Lauderdale generally are associated.
“The festival demonstrates we are getting
a from the tarnished image of the past,” he
said.
Daytona and the other vacation spots in
Florida don’t have much of a choice.
This is the first spring break during which the
state’s new 21-year,old minimum drinking age
law is in effect, and rising insurance costs are for-
cing communities to find ways to minimize the
wild partying that has led to injuries and even
deaths in the past.
Fort Lauderdale, for one, is sponsoring an
“Olympics” featuring volleyball, a tug-of-war
and various dance and trivia contests.
City officials are actively discouraging ex-
cessive drinking, and have banned alcohol con-
sumption on the strip along the beach.
Daytona Beach hoped to attract up to 20,000
students to its first National Collegiate Sports
Festival.
The festival, scheduled for March 8 through
April 6, will feature about 20 different sports
ranging from rugby to golf,
Four national corporations — including Walt
Disney — and about 30 Daytona businesses are
supporting the events.
Nolan said he hoped also will encourage more
corporations to support intramural programs on
campuses. IM sports, he said, can use some fund-
Taising help.
But no one pretends the activities aren’t in-
cut down Spring Break partying
. Still a favorite of some local businesses.
tended to moderate revelers’ drinking.
“We hope the level of drinking will be lower
than in the past,’’ Daytona Chamber of Com-
merce representative Betty Wilson said.
Daytona also will mount a poster and radio
campaign to promote sensible alcohol
comsumption.
“‘Any planned activity will be advantageous in
(controlling) how students party,”’ said Beverly
Sanders of Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concer-
ning the Health of University Students (BAC-
CHUS), a group that runs ‘alcohol awareness’”
programs on campuses around the country.
“What has gone on
before was a Sodom and
Gomorrah affair.’’
— Jerry Nolan
Yet the hard-partying spring break tradition is
“These kids are going to come down, party
and raise hell. At least I hope so,” said Tommy
Fuguay, manager of The Other Place, a popular
Daytona Beach club. “It’s the only time of year
we make money.”’
Fuguay said he is more worried about the new
21-year old drinking age slowing business than
the festival.
Most of the national beer companies, as well as
long-time spring break visiting corporations like
Playboy, plan to return to the area, too, to pro-
mote their wares.
Coming, too, is Michigan inventor Ronald
Rummell to market his new product: a vest
allowing its wearer to carry six beverage con-
tainers and keep them cold.
“It’s an alternative to bulky coolers,”’ he said.

Stunguns on the rise as self-defense weapon
Columbus, Ohio
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Increasing
numbers of women on the Ohio state
campus reportedly have been arming
themselves with weapons called ‘‘stun
guns”’ to defend themselves.
And despite some uncertainty over the
safety of the weapons — which are about
the size of calculators and fire electric cur-
rents of up to 50,000 volts — women on
other campuses also have been carrying
them.
In fact, college women have been ex-
pressing an increasing interest in stun
guns, said Greg Pollack, a salesman for
Nova Technologies, which manufactures
the devices.
Although Nova, based in Austin, Texas,
has no specific demographic data about
who is buying its guns, the return of war-
ranty slips indicates a trend toward student
interest in the devices, which sell for $70 to
$90.
Nova has been manufacturing its stun-
gun for about three years, and has sold
about 175,000, Pollack said.
To use one, a person presses a button. A
test arc of electricity is then visible from
the two rods that stick out from the gun.
“The test arc is frequently an adequate
deterrent,” Pollack said, adding “‘elec-
tricity, by its very nature, is ominous.”
If the arc does not scare an assailant,
then the user touches the attacker, giving
him a two-to-five second zap.
Pollack said that the XR 5000 — Nova’s
main stun gun model — is safe in that its
current will not stun the user.
Shantytown to be removed
Hanover, New Hampshire
(AP) A Shantytown built on campus as a
symbol against South Africa’s apartheid
must be removed after the weekend, said
Dartmouth College President David
McLaughlin.
Ina letter to the Dartmouth community,
McLaughlin said Tuesday that the shan-
ties, focus of a protest that included an ad-
ministration building sit-in and cancella-
tion of classes, ‘‘are deflecting our
energies.”
The shanties, he said, for many ‘‘are
contributing to a feeling of divisiveness at
a time when we should be healing and
building a better college.’’
In November, McLaughlin allowed the
shanties to be built by the Dartmouth com-
munity for Divestment, which wants the
Ivy League school to abandon $63 million
of its South Africa-related holdings.
The college has said it will consider com-
plete divestment if changes in South
Africa’s apartheid policy of racial segrega-
tion are not forthcoming by the end of the
year.
Two weeks ago, the shanties were
damaged by a group calling itself the Dart-
mouth Committee to Beautify the Green
Before Winter Carnival. The next day,
some students occupied the administration
building. As a result, classes were called
off and for two days the college communi-
ty discussed racism, violence, and respect
for diversity.
He said the shanties should be removed
“immediately after Winter Carnival’’
which ends Sunday.
In a related matter, the 12 students ac-
cused of damaging the shanties Tuesday
went before a college’s disciplinary
committee.
Furthermore, research at the universities
of Wisconsin and Nebraska has proven
Nova’s gun will not permanently hurt the
victim, Pollack said.
Although California’s state government
allows teachers and school staffers to carry
stun guns at schools, some college officials
don’t like them.
At Grossmont Community College in El
Cajon, Ca., where a student sold about 20
of the stun weapons about two years ago,
students now are banned from toting the
weapons.
“‘We certainly don’t recommend
students to carry them,”’ said Dan Keller,
executive director of Campus Crime
Prevention Programs in Louisville, Ky.
If people are not trained to handle
weapons, they can get hurt, Keller said.
“Policing is best left up to law enforce-
ment officials.”
Feminists also had varying opinions on
whether women should carry stun guns.
“‘Anything that can make women feel
safer, that’s okay with me, but it’s not our
program’s first choice,’ said Linda
Markle of the Women’s Services Center at
Ohio State. The center provides courses in
self defense.
However, a user “‘is buying into the
patriarchal-capitalist system. You are pay-
ing-for the privilege of your freedom,’
Markle said.
Bernice Sandler, director of the Project
on the Education and Status of Women in
Washington, D.C., carries a knife and
Mace. She said it’s important weapons can
be brought out in time to deter and
assailant. QO

Ewing silences critics amidst Knicks’ turmoil
By Mike MacAdam
Dave DeBusscherre’s face told the entire
story.
Lady Luck was good, very good, to the
New York Nicks when the first-ever lot-
tery for the NBA’s top draft picks was held
prior to this season.
DeBusscherre’s face was a mask of
jubilance and relief when .
i Friday
it was announced that
the second draft pick Sports
Column
would go to the Indiana
Pacers, leaving the top
pick and the inevitable
rights to this year’s draft jewel, Patrick
Ewing of Georgetown, to the Knicks.
Immediately the spotlight already on
Ewing was turned up exponentially by a
furor only the New York media can create.
SEXUALITY WEEK
cog FEBRUARY Th 12 8 13
DeBusscherre, then the Knicks’ general
manager, was only reiterating public
knowledge when he announced that the
Knicks would select the 7’0”’ center.
The pressure on Ewing was incredible.
He was being compared to Bill Russell
defensively, but doubters claimed his of-
fensive skills were suspect. Playing before
screaming Madison Square Garden fans
would not exactly be the same as a pick-up
game at your local playground. He would
no longer be under the protective wing of
Georgetown coach John Thompson.
Ewing coolly responded to questions
about the pressure by inquiring, ‘“‘What
pressure?’’ His only goal with the Knicks
was ‘‘to help them win more games, to
make the playoffs.’”

came quickly when a pre-season elbow-
throwing contest with Steve Stipanovich
netted a stiff fine. He started slowly, but as
of February 3 was averaging 21 points per
game, was 11th in the league in rebounding
with 9.3 per game, and was fifth in block-
ed shots with 97. The highlight of his
season so far was a 32-point performance
against the division-leading Boston Celtics
in a come-from-behind overtime victory
before a packed Madison Square Garden
and a national TV audience on Christmas
Day.
So Ewing has answered the critics and
the doubting Thomases the best way possi-
ble: on the court. Meanwhile, his team has
crumbled around him and remains firmly
anchored in last place in the Atlantic Divi-
sion with an 18-31 record.
A month ago, DeBusscherre was fired
by top Knick brass and replaced by Scott
Stirling, who so far has not found any of
the answers that eluded his predecessor.
The return of holdout Loius Orr was not
one of those answers.

The crew has work schedules calling for
individual practice six times a week, taking
only Sunday off.
The competition has races based on sex,
weight class, individual races, and team
races. The relay team will consist of three
men and three women, each member row-
ing one mile, before leaving the machine
for their teammate. The qualifying
distance is five miles, and the top scorer of
each sex will represent the team.
Reume, a graduate of Albany State last
the thing to do, Pat Cummings’ tendinitis
will put him under the knife also.
The ongoing Hubie Brown - Darrell
Walker feud has caused team dissension
and rumors about the departure of
Walker, Brown or both.
But the main and most terribly ironic
reason Ewing’s impact has been tremen-
dous but unrewarded is the same reason
the Knicks were in a position to steal him
from the dregs of the NBA in the first
Place. The only thing keeping the Knicks
out of the playoffs last year, thus giving
them a one-in-seven stake in the ‘Ewing
lottery,”” was the absence of high scoring
Bernard King, whose damaged knee may
keep them out of the playoffs again this
year. He hopes to return by March, but it
may be too late.
In any event, the pre-season Ewing
critics have quieted down now. Everyone
agrees that he is worth every penny of his
multi-million dollar contract.
Patrick Ewing has passed his test. Now
the Knicks must pass theirs.
Mike MacAdam is the Associate Sports
Editor of the Albany Student Press.

team is replacing Jeff Schaeffer, who now
coaches a High School team in

his plans for the next season. He is also
busy as the Adirondack Regional Director

Albany shot a mediocre 42 per-
cent from the floor and a surpris-
ingly low eight for 21 (38 percent)

LeSane led in scoring with 17
points, and steals with nine.
Following her were Jensen with
10 points, Donna Hughes with
nine, and La Bombard and Silver-
man with eight apiece. Jensen had
10 rebounds and Bayba and
Hughes had four steals each.
“With Hartwick, we came

Russell Sage, we won, and we did
feel good,’’ concluded Warner.

capabilities was Fox. ‘lraditional-

Ursprung said, “I thought we
played really well, it was a big
win. A good push for the stretch
run.””
“Everybody picked up well,
since Doug wasn’t playing, ”’ he
added.
Kilmer, who watched from the
sidelines, predicted a victory, but
not by so much. ‘‘ I thought we
were going to win - maybe by 10
or 12. I thought they were good
the first time, but they weren’t as
good this time. They played as if
they didn’t expect to win.”
“T thought we played well, ””
said Cinque ‘‘we got an early lead
and sustained it. I thought the
whole team played well... we got
out on top early, which we usually
don’t do. We we’re running
tonight; we looked good.’’
The Danes are now 14-5 and

last meeting, the Danes beat them

Dane crew team ready for exhibition in Boston
By Brian Feinblum
The AlbanyState crew team opens
their second season with an indoor exhibi-
tion in Boston, February 16, competing
against 60 schools from all over the coun-
try and Canada.
“The crew team is currently a club, but
hopes to go to varsity,” said John E.
Morgan, Physical Education Ad-
ministrator. The SA funded club will com-
pete in five matches this spring,
culminating with the Albany Tricentennial
Regatta on June 14-15.
The Albany Regatta will feature par-
ticipants from all over the world, including
teams from France and Germany.
The season officially starts April 12,
with competition against local schools
such as RPI and Union, as well as the
Albany Law School’s team, Albany
Medical and the Oars Club of Albany. Up-
coming events include the Ithaca Invita-
tional on April 20, The President’s Cup in
Poughkeepsie on April 26, and the
Metropolitan Championship at Manhattan
College on May 3.
The C.R.A.S.H.-B, Sprints in Boston is
a practice tournament that will take place
indoors. Normally the crew. races out-
doors, but until the rivers defrost, com-
petition will take place on an ergomeger, a
machine version of a rowboat. The team
finished fifth out of 60.teams in last year’s
competition, their first ever.
“I don’t know if we will do as good this
year,”’ said coach Kevin Reume. “‘I am
looking forward to seeing how well we can
do. This is just for fun, just to keep people
from going crazy in the winter’’.
He admits that you do not have to know
how to row well to be successful on the
machine. ‘You have to be huge and pull
that thing.”
They will face stiff competition at the
meet, including teams from Harvard,
Navy, Princeton, and some National
teams.
Reume looks for height and strong legs
when selecting players. ‘‘The taller the bet-
ter,’ said Reume. ‘‘They must have really
strong legs. A big upper body is no advan-
tage to a rower. Being too bulky takes
away from the flexibility. You want the
strength down in your legs.
Of the team’s strength, Reume thinks
his men’s heavyweight four are all solid.

The Albany State men’s indoor track
team raised its record to 3-0 after
defeating rival RPI 92-44 on Saturday.
The victory avenged a ten-point loss
to RPI last season. Albany’s dominance
was evidenced by its thirteen first-place
finishes in the sixteen events contested.
Freshman David Walker paced the
Danes with victories in the high jump,
long jump and triple jump. Walker,
who has already earned an invitation to
the Nationals in the high jump, con-
tinued to be one remarkable consistent
in that event by clearing 6’ 8’’. His vic-
torious long and triple jumps were 20°
2” and 43’ 3”’ respectively.
For his efforts, Walker was named
thlete of the meet’’ by first-year head
coach Roberto Vives.
Vives dubbed the victory ‘‘a team ef-
fort’’. He said he was satisfied with the
times the team ran,especially consider-
ing the track was slow, ‘‘spikes’’ were
prohibited on the surface, and the team
trained through the meet. He added that
he felt the team’s conditioning was pay-
ing off.
Another field event the Danes
dominated was the pole vault. Junior
heavywight women’s team returning from
last year’s undefeated squad. One member
of the women’s crew is Mary Ann Gib-
bons, winner of three gold medals in the
Empire State Games.
“We have alot of kids coming’, said
Reume. “‘We seem to have alot more
freshmen and sophomores this year. We
have to keep them till their junior year so
they will be ready when we become a varsi-
ty team.”’
Kurt Weidman was victorious, vaulting
12’ 6’’. Teammate Pat Dowling finished
second at 12’.
The most exciting race of the day was
prabably the 500 meter. Danes Vernon
Miller and John Reilly ran together for
the whole race and were both timed in
1:08.8. Miller, however, nipped Reilly at
the tape to win. Both Miller and Reilly
teamed with junior Mike Bizzovi and
senior Mike Riggins to win the
1600-meter relay. Reilly’s 51.8 anchor
leg provided the margin of victory in
that race.
Bizovi and Riggins were victors in
otner events. Bizovi captured the high
hurdles with a time of 7.3. Riggins won
the 400 meter in 53.8, just ahead of
teammate Bruce Gaynor. Riggins also
finished second in the 45-meter dash to
complete an excellent day.
Albany’s distance corps, a strength all
year, once again didn’t let down. In the
3000 meter senior Craig Parlato led
from start to finish, winning with a time
of 8:58. Teammate Chuck Bronner
followed, running 9:23.
In the 1500 meter, the Albany harriers
Jack Glaser and Tim Hoff “‘ran with
composure,’’ according to Vives. They
100 students signed up for crew, but on-
ly 30 or 35.are expected to compete. Many
drop out due to prior commitments, in-
juries, or being unable to meet the physical
demands of such a strenuous sport.
Reume thinks the team is rowing better
than last year, combining technique and
muscle, but fears the competition to be
getting stronger. Many local schools have
just begun crew teams and in time, will

The Danes 4x800 meter telay team,

had a relatively easy time in winning
their race, defeating RPI by 14 seconds.
Blette and Hash were double winners as
well. Blette won the 1000 meter in 2:39.
Vives was impressed by both Blette and
Junior Tim Rogers in that race.
Vives thought Rogers had ‘‘a
breakthrough’” after he finished third
just 1.5 seconds behind Blette. Hash
won his race, the 800.meters in 2:02:7.
He echoed his coach’s words about the
teams conditioning.
Hash remarked, “you could tell our

the race than theirs,’’

nout, the women’s swim team
suffered a 67-45 loss against Cor-
tland last Saturday, but as assis~
tant coach Caroline Scharlick
said, ‘The team looked the best.
they ever have.”
Cortland has always been an
exceptionally tough team to beat,
but the Great Danes still put forth
a good performance. ‘“‘We came
much closer than we thought we
would,”’ said Scharlock.
Carol Pearl won a close race
against one of Cortland’s top
swimmers, in the 1650-yard
freestyle with a time 18:15, setting
a new pool and school record.
She also won the 100-yard
freestyle. Carol Elie snatched first
place in the 100-yard butterfly.
Both Nancy Smith and Mary
Daly qualified for SUNYAC’s in
the 100 freestyle. Nicole Legendre
achieved: a personal best in the
100-yard backstroke.
Jane Klotz took second in the
one-meter diving, missing first by
four points. She reached a score
high enough to qualify her for
Nationals again.
“If they perform in the Na-
tionals the way they performed
today, they should both be in the
top five,’’ said coach Jim Ser-
balick of Klotz and Cortland’s
diver. Cortland presents Klotz’a
only competition at’ SUNYACs
and Nationals. “‘Of her competi-
tion Klotz said, ‘‘It’s so much bet-
ter to say that she’s the one I have
to beat than to have her say that
about me. I can only do better.’”
The Great Danes picked up a
victory against the College of St.
Rose, 85-45. St. Rose was much
improved compared to last year,
according to Scharlock, and of-
fered more competition than in
the past.
Elie took first in the 50-yard
freestyle with Ingrid Hansen right
behind to grab second place.
Smith won the 100-yard butterfly
while qualifying for SUNYACs.
Legendre qualified in the
200-yard backstroke and took se-
cond place. Michelle Gittlen had
two personal bests, one in the
100-yard breaststroke.

The Great Danes swim against
Binghamton at Binghamton this
Saturday. In recent years,
Binghamton has become tough
competition.
“The Binghamton meet will be
followed by Cindy Jensen with
13, Fernandes with 12, and Lori
Bayba with nine. Jensen and Min-
dy McLaughlin led the team in re-
bounds with six and four
respectively.
Warner commented, ‘‘We’re
not going to harp on this game.
We're going to keep going on
with things that have been work-
close in every event and it’ll come
down to the last relay to deter-
mine who wins,”’ said Scharlock.
She added, ‘‘The way the team

Chris LaBombard looks to drive past an Oswego player.

STAFF WRITER
Notcing two more victories this
week, the Albany State women’s
basketball team, number one in
the SUNYAC-East, with a 9-0
record, has increased. their winn-
ing streak to 18 consecutive
games. They are quickly becom-
ing the pride of Albany.
After dropping the first two
games of the season, the word
defeat was removed from their
vocabulary, and the team’s 18-2
standing is an Albany team sports
record.
The women cagers’ most recent
victims have been Hartwick,
71-63, and Russel Sage, 78-41.
With these two wins, the Danes
have remained firmly planted in
second place in the State, behind
Buffalo State.
A 13-game winning streak,
which ended with a loss to St.
Michael’s set the record last year
for the team. But this year there
appears to be no one who can.
stop them.
At home Monday night against
Hartwick, the game started slow,
and Albany built a 27-8 lead with
10:10 left in the first half. Con-
sidering that Hartwick only had
six players with them, one of
whom had. a bad knee and
couldn’t play up to par, a slow
game was not the best strategy.
“*We should have gone out of-
fensively and attacked them to
force one of their players to foul
out,” said lead coach Mari
Warner, who added, “Hartwick
only had one player with four
fouls, and this was not good, We
also couldn’t get the ball inside.””
Although Albany started off
controlled and moved the ball ef-
fectively, they had trouble hitting
their outside shots, and, as the
game progressed, they appeared
flat offensively. Coach Warner
tried all types of combinations,
and. followed her substitution
policy.
“T believe our depth is strong
enough so that, even if the op-
position cuts it close, we can han-
die it. We have the strength, so
that does not happen, but we had
one of those games. Every team
has its share of poor execution,
and tonight was our share; I hope
it’s out of our system now,” said
Warner.
After Hartwick cut the lead to
six points in the first half,
Albany’s starting backcourt of
Rainny LeSane and Chris
LaBombard came back into the
game. Lesane finished with 19
points, eight steals, and three
assists. She got the Danes out in
front quickly by hitting her first
five shots. from the floor.
As the second half opened up,
it looked like Albany would blow
the game open. But Hartwick
hung ‘tough, outrebounding
Albany 33-30, and capitalized on
four Dane turnovers in a row to
make it close down the stretch.
Defensively, Albany stayed ina
man-to-man, but Hartwick
penetrated well past the half-
court trap and beat the Danes in
outside shouting. x
With four minutes left on four
consecutive foul shots. After two
more foul shots by Hartwick, the
lead narrowed to 63-59 with 2:30
left.
The intensity of the game pick-
ed up quickly, and Diane Fer-
nandes’ basket made it 65-59.
Hartwick struck back quickly
with four points, making the

Albany’s Cinque spoils re-Union for Dutchmen
By Kristine Sauer
‘SPORTS EDITOR
Traditionally, the Albany State Great Danes’ rivalry
with Union College has been a competitive one. So when
the Danes completely dominated the Schenectady team,
77-58, on Wednesday night in University gym, it was
unexpected.
The last time the Danes beat Union by more than ten
Points was on November 20, 1981, in a 65-49 trouncing.
Just two months ago in the Capital District Tournament
Championship game, the last time the two met, the Great
Danes had their hands full as usual, but still came out on
top, 81-76.
Just as surprising as Wednesday’s 19-point margin was
the player who accounted for it and who controlled the
action for the Great Danes. When junior Mike Cinque is
on the court, the game is full of surprises.
Will the 6’1”" point guard take the ball in to score
himself, or will he dish it off to another player? The ques-
tions can go on and on. The thing about Cinque is the op-
posing team never can tell what this magician has up his
sleeve. .
‘What you can expect from the Monroe player is the
way he takes charge on the court, sets the tempo. Cinque
prefers to run, so whenever they can, it’s off to the races
for the Danes. On Wednesday night the Danes outran
Union. They outrebounded, out scored, out shot and
simply out played the rival team.
“We were running alot more tonight,” said Cinque.
“*We could rebound with this team, and any team we can
outrebound, we can run on.””
Cinque continued, ‘‘We usually don’t do that, we've
been relying too much on our outside game, but tonight
we were getting easy shots in the paint.””
Against Union, Cinque’s presence was moré than
noticable. Not only did he add seven assists to the 117 he
already has dished off this season, he accounted for four
steals. On the scoreboard, he contributed 13 points, five
from the free throw line. Surprisingly the guard pulled
down seven rebounds, the second highesttotal for the
Danes.
“Cinque was penetrating real well,”’ said Albany coach
Dick Sauers, “‘To me, he was the player of the game with
assists, steals, he set everybody up. It was an outstanding
game for him.’’ 2
It was also an outstanding game for the Danes as a
whole. After taking a 6-3lead minutes into the game, they
never let it go and increased it to ten 21-11, with 12
minutes to go in the half. 6’4”” senior center John Mracek
helped open up the game with six points, while Cinque ad-
ded five. Four points apiece came form junior Adam
Ursprung and senior Brian Kauppila, starting in place of
an injured Doug Kilmer.
From there, the Danes increased it to a 16-point lead.
Mineola’s Andy O’Connell subbed in and scored off a
pass from Cinque. Freshman Russ Teague followed that
up on another assist by the point guard. Union’s Mike
Levine took a jumper to bring the score to 25-15. After
that the Danes put in two baskets, the first by forward
Brett Axelrod, and the second by O’Connell on a break to
pace the Danes ahead by 14, at 29-17, with a little over
eight minutes remaining.
With 5:40 to go, The Danes were up 29-19 when
Ursprung stole the ball, passed to Mracek, who fed Cin-
que, who then sent it right back to Mracek for two points
and a 31-19 lead. On Union’s next possesion, Cinque
took.it away and straight to the hoop with 4:55 to go in
the half to give the Danes a fourteen-point lead, 33-19.
Two foul shots by O’Connell put The Danes ahead by
16, 39-23, with 1:43 remaining. With 27 seconds left in
the half, Union’s Doug Gregory went to the line and sank
both shots to end the half, 39-25.
“We played a real good first half, ” said Sauers.
“Mracek got us off to a great start...we played very well
as a team.””
In the second half, Union couldn’t find the solution to
their first half difficulties. They did pull to within nine
points of the Danes at the 14:50 mark after three baskets
by 6’0”’ forward Neil Winawer set the score at 45-36.
Mracek’s follow-up basket was erased by 6’5’’ center
Kurt Fox.
From there it was all history, except at the 6:52 mark,
when Ursprung went down on his left ankle. A few
minutes before that, he had gone down, but a quick rest
on the bench was all he needed. The second fall, injured
his ankle seriously enough to keep him from playing for
the rest of the game.
“The first time it was my ankle, just a little twist,,””
said Ursprung. ‘The second time I was running down on
a fast break, their guy ran right in front of me. I’ll be
alright.”
2 The first thing Sauers said after the game was, ‘‘I can
have one of those guys (Ursprung and Kilmer) out. and it
looks like Ursprung.””
The Danes’ highscorer was Ursprung with 17 points.
He led with 9 rebounds as well, and logged four assists
and the same in steals before exiting the court. Following
