Albany State football coach Bob Ford forecasted
before Saturday's Cortland game, “If a boxer has a
great right hook, you better stop that right hook or
you're going to lose."’ If the Albany State football
tegm were in a boxing match, they would have been
sent to the canvas early.
The Danes failed to stop Cortland's right hook, and
as Coach Ford foretold, the result was a Dane loss,
dropping their record (0 2-4.
Fullback Daye Cook, the second leading rusher in
the Cortland history, ran for 185 yards, including the
Red Dragons’ only two touchdowns — a 23 yard score
and a 79 yard romp — to pace his team (0 a 14-7 vic-

The Danes’ hopes of reaching the .500 mark were
dashed when quarterback Mike Milano's fourth-and-
seven pass from the Cortland 20 with 1:20 left in the
contest sailed over the outstretched arms of receiver
John Donnely in the endzone.
“The wind seemed to take it," said Milano, who
completed 14 of 31 attempts for 130 yards in an ad-
mirable effort
Approximately 4200 Cortland fans at Chugger Davis
Field nearly saw the Red Dragons give the game away
with 2:14 left when linebacker Ed Eastman recovered a
fumbled snap at the Cortland 25, With the Danes trail-
ing 14-7, all that was needed was a touchdown and a
two-point conversion.

Said linebacker Eastman: “The guy just didn’t want
to go down,"
On Cook's first touchdown run, which came with
10:25 left in the first half, he demonstrated what
fasiman had said about *not wanting to go down."*
On a controversial play, Cook appeared to be stop-
ped after a five yard gain up the middle but no referee
blew the whistle. Cook bounced off the pack and dash-
‘ed the rest of the way completing a 23-yard touchdown
run and giving Cortland a 7-0 lead.

Stony Brook professor’ Ss course creates furor
By Christine Reffelt
A recent furor on the SUNY Stony, Brov!
campus regarding the teaching of zionism as
racism reached Albany this week when Revi-
sionist Zionist Alternative and the Tagar
jonist activists rallied at SUNY Central in
protest,
The controversy, which has blown into a
statewide rift with Governor Cuomo’s per-
sonal involvement, started when a visiting
Israeli professor, Selwyn K. Truen, charged
that Stony Brook professor Ernest Dube was
using his classroom ‘for the sloganeering
practiced by an anti-semite
Hilsenrath, chairman of the RZA,
said at the rally that he believes that Dube is
spreading racist views towards Jews in his lec-
tures. “‘Anti-semitism and Jew hatred must
be removed from the classroom," he
declared, ‘Spreading anti-zionism so easily
on campus leads to anti-semitism, which
eventually leads to the death of all Jews," he
added
Dube, 54, has been teaching the “Politics
‘of Race Relations’ course for three years,
Recenily, several accusations against Dube
have been voiced because of the anti-semitic
nature of his lectures, The syllabus, whi
The three forms of
how they have manifested
themselves: 1) Nazism in Germany. 2) Apar
theid in South Africa, 3) Zionism in Israel,”
disturbed RZA president Gady Buiumsohn,
who commented that “anyone who sees
zionism as racist and who teaches zionism as
racism is an anti-semitic,"” Dube therefore,
"is a racist"? added Bulumsohn,
However, according to. a New York Times
article on October 2, an Executive Commit-
tec of Stony Brook University Senate found
the evidence skimpy, and decided that Dube
had acted within the bounds of academic
freedom
But local Jewish groups were notified, the

Council members may challenge SA elections
By Heidi Gralla
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Central Council Internal Affairs Commit-
tee will meet Friday to determine whether or
not they will contest SA’s Fall elections, held
‘on Oct. 17 and 18.
The Alumni Quad Central Council election
has already been contested and rescheduled
for Monday, Oct, 31 and Tuesday, Nov. 1
Council also voted Wednesday’ night to
establish an off-campus coordinator's
budget, to reject the appointment of
Hamilton South as a Supreme Court justice,
and to pass {wo proposals regarding SA tax
policy.
The Alumni Quad Central Council election
was contested by Nathaniel Charney who ac-
cused one of his opponents, Steve Sinatra, of
Violating election policy by campaigning in
the cafeteria on election night. Elections
Commissioner Tom Busby said, however,
that the only reason he has rescheduled the
election is becasue Student Association Pre
dent Rich Schaffer brought it to his attention
that the voting booth was in the wrong place,
According to Schaffer, Internal Affairs
committee chair Neil Shapiro unexpectedly
proposed to Council:that Elections Commis-
sioner Tom Busby be recalled for breaking
elections policy
said that Shapiro then tried to
from council a yes vote by threaten:
ing that his committee Would contest the en
tire Fall election if Busby was not recalled.
The matter was tabled after at least two
members of council stood up and accused
Shapiro of extortion, and council decided not
to discuss the issue, ayws use Busby
was not there to defend himself, according to
Central Council Chair Bob Helbock.
It was Neil's(Shapiro) bombshell and the
way It was presented was atrocious,"" Schaf-
fer asserted,
Busby violated election policy, Shapiro
said, ‘by failing to appoint an election com-
mission and failing to have it approved by
Centra! Council and failing to put candidates
names on the ballot in random order:
Shapiro said that it was unjust to the can-
didates to hold elections without an approved
elections commission, and an unfairly ar-
ranged ballot, The election commission

tions,
ichaffer
Schneider
and SA Vice President Jeffrey
d Busby took the candidates
fames out of the ASP in random order
Shapiro, however, contended that Busby
should have ‘picked out of a hat’ and that
Busby may have put the names in a specifical-
ly chosen order, The election policy does
not make it completely clear whose respon-
sibility it is fo submit the commission
members’ names 10 council,
Several SA officials, including Schaffer,
Schneider, and Helbock, accepted some
responsibility for failing to bring the elections
Gommisssion to council for approval.
Shapiro sald the error was Busby’s.
Schneider explained that "We (he, Helbock
and Schaffer) were not aware (hat we had to
bring that (the elections commission) before
council."” “I question why it wasn't brought
up by them (Internal Affairs) before elec
tions,'" Schneider added,
Schneider said that he and Minority Af
fairs coordinator Vivian Vasquez conducted
the interviews for the Commission, Busby.

said that when he was appointed he was given
most of the names of the 10 member ele

Abrams addresses third consumer conference
By sroeacaeapione
Ne Anat CET SRY,
New York State Attorney General Robert
Abrams opened the third Consumer
Awareness Conference Tuesday by remin-
ding the almost 700 people in attendance that
“no matter what we do, we are all con-
sumers,"”
The conference, held at the Empire State
Plaza, was made up of keynote addresses and
specific workshops and marked the opening
of ‘consumer awareness weck,’’ according
to Senator Joseph Bruno (D-Rensselaer
County). Abrams, the key speaker at the con-
ference, addressed such topics as a proposed
used-car ‘lemon law", a home improvement
act, landlord-tenant relations and insurance
problems for the consumer,
The most urgent on his agenda of
priorities, Abrams said, was the used-car
lemon law. ‘One of the achievements of the
last legislative session was passage of a lemon
law (for new cars)," he said. “With that
behind us, we must face a bigger problem; a
lemon law for used cars,"” he added, Abrams
cited items such as the fact that “we spent
$79.4 billion for 16,6 million used cars in
1982"* and that new car dealers accounted for
47 percent of those sales while independent
dealers accounted for 11 percent, “What the
law would do is require any used auto dealer
{o disclose any known defect (0 the consumer
at the time of sale" he said, adding that ‘this
seems like simple equity to the consumer’? on
the part of the dealer,
Abrams added that he “hoped the new car
lemon law will push the used car bill through
the political system." With a law like this,
Abrams said that he “hoped to protect even
consumers’ when they undertake what
‘second largest financial commitment
4 family makes,”
In addition to the lemon law, Abrams ad-
dressed the fact that each year he gets
* floods of complaints about rip-off artisis'”
Who pose as home improvement contractors.
Abrams, who called a home the “single
largest investment’ said that he had scen
“people absolutely devastated" by these rip-
offartists, According to Abrams, the bill that
he is proposing would require every home im-
provement contract to be written legibly,
contain the name and address of the contrac-
tor, the agreed price and a clause that "'the
down payment can't exceed five percent of
the total cost or $300, whichever is less."”
Abrams added that he would require a
schedule of payments and a stipulation that
“no payment can exceed 100 percent of the
value of the work done so far.!Abrams
pointed out that a similar law had been in ef
fect in California for some time and “‘accor-
ding to the Attorney General, fraud has
dropped considerably,"" he added
In regard to. landiord-tenant relations,
Abrams said that the most common com:
plaint was that the security deposit was not
Felurned. One of the reasons he gave for this,
was that ‘buildings change hands quite
often,"” Under a bill proposed by Abrams,
landlords would have 30 days after the tenant
moves out to return the deposit, and that
“any purchaser of a building is going to be
Obligated for the security deposit.””
Abrams explained that he was looking to
arrange for consumers to have the right to go
to court and litigate for themselves in in-
surance cases and saw a real “need to further
regulate in the area of trayel."" Abrams pro-
posed registration of travel agents and
establishment of a fund "to protect travelers
from insolvent travel agents," Abrams
pointed to a similar law in Canada and said
that it was “effective.” “I'd like to see that
for the state of New York,"” he added,
‘Abrams' sentiments were echoed by Bruno
and Assemblyman Ralph Goldstein
(D-Queens) at a press conference later that
afternoon, Goldstein reiterated Abrams’ sen-
timents saying that ‘!We are here to make the
consumers aware that no matter what they
do... they are all consumers,'"
Bruno pointed out that he hoped “we can
all work together to make sure that what we
have done so far works."’ He pointed to the
new lemon law and said that they will be
Keeping a close eye on it to “make sure it
works."
Both Bruno and Goldstein had several
ideas for the upcoming year, including a type
of lemon law for people who buy houses,
citing a “need to cover that kind of
situation,”’ according to Goldstein, They also
will be looking at the raise in prices since the
bottle law went into effect, According to
Goldstein, ‘+35 to 40 percent (of the cans and
bottles) don’t come back"” and he thinks that
this un-returned deposit money should cover
the handling costs for the manufacturers,
Goldstein noted that the big problem now
is enforcement. ‘Enforcement is the name of
the game,’' he said, adding that we ‘'definite-
ly need better enforcement’” of the laws we
now have,
Kenneth Rosenblum, Commissioner of the
Suffolk County Dept. of Consumer Affairs,
agreed saying that ‘'we have some very good
laws out there now" but, he added, “we need
more people to enforce them,'*Rosenblum
explained that the lack of enforcement just

noted that that position ‘will be filled short-

When asked if they feel the governor is do-
ing a good job, Goldstein replied that ‘the
governor signs all the legislature for con-
sumers that We send him, so he must be doing
@ pretty good job." Bruno added that the
govenor ‘made a great commitment to the
people of the state by signing the lemon

Although the turnout was the “largest
Yet” according to Abrams, Rick Ostroff of
the Attorney General’s office was a little
disappointed, “There was a crowd of bet-
Ween 700 to 800 people,"” he sald, then added
that, unfortunately, “there wasn't a large
student turnout,” According to Ostroff,
there were students from Syracuse in atten:
dance as well as several classes of high schoo!
students on hand to hear the speakers from
all over the state, however, the turnout from
local colleges was ‘disappointing’
While addressing the conference, Abrams
sald that he has heard a retreat when It
comes (0 the protection of consumers’? Iate-
ly. “Basically, what the average New Yorker
needs is for consumer advocates to make
some basic changes in the law to protect con-
sumers,!” he said in closing, adding ‘Let’

changes this year." a

Large crowd expected for
peace rally at army depot
By Dean Betz
CONTRIAUTING EDITOR
‘At least two busloads of people fro any will join an expected 30,000 others
Saturday for a march and rally at the Seneca Army Depot near Rochester
Activists claim that nuclear warheads are stored at the military base — the largest
such installation in upstate New York,
“The focus of the action is to stop the Euromissile deployment,’? said Dirk Hoekstra,
disarmament director for SUNY Albany's NYPIRG chapter.
The Reagan administration plans to deploy 464 Criuse missiles and 108 Pershing II
missiles in Europe later this year. :
“There currently are binding resolutions in Congress to postpone deployment one
year,"" he said, ‘‘and it has picked up a lot of support — but not from the president,"
Hoekstra said ‘*Uniil recently, the Department of Defense wouldn't say where they
were keeping nuclear weapons, But now they say that there are 30 bases in the country
where they store weapons, and Seneca may be one,"
He added that other unofficial sources have verified that nuclear weapons are stored
at the base.
“One reason people should be upset about the missiles is that should the weapons be
deployed, the Soviets would move their missiles up’ to locations in East Germany and
western Poland, he said, These SS-20 missiles are now kept far from the border areas in
Hungary and eastern Poland, added Hockstra,
The Seneca Army Depot was the site of a peace encampment by feminists this sum-
mer. Beginning July 4, several thousand women camped on a nearby farm and par-
ticipated in non-violent peace demonstrations at the depot
Several women still live in a farmhouse at the site and should be involyed in the
demonstration Saturday, said Hoekstra,
‘On Monday, a group of about 1600 will attempt to block the depot’s gates in a non-
violent civil disobedience action, Hoekstra said,
Information on the demonstrations, including transportation, is available at the
Social Action Center on Central Avenue in Albany,
He criticized Reagan, saying
that Reagan “could haye and should haye
toned down the rhetoric!’ that surrounded
When questioned about the comparison
between the significance of the plane crash,
the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, and the
situation in Poland, Hoffman explained that
LC6, the “highly emotional’” nature of the crash
makes the incident significant to the public,
i people can relate {0a plane
crash more than the far-off fighting in
ssed Soviet-American
relations before the incident. He said that
socialist and capitalist forces are the basic
Hoffman noted that relations between the
two changed in the 1970's when the Soviet
Union achieved strategic parity with the

U,S.. He characterized the 30 years after
World War I in which the United States was
already in the arms race an ‘exceptional
period.!” “'Exceptional,!” he added, because
it hud never happened before and never will
again,
Hoffman continued his criticism of the
Reagan administration is their “tendency to
think problems can be solved through
military means,"” Commenting on how rela-
tions have changed, he sald ‘The East-West
confrontations of the '40s cannot be reprduc:
ed in the 180s,"
Expressing some optimism from the
airliner incident, Carl F, Lankowski, an
‘assistant political science professor at
SUNYA stated that the incident could spur a
"quest for new cooperation.” Hoffman
agreed with this view, adding that "We are
going to have (o learn how {0 coexist with a
country with different values from ours,"*
The incident has also affected SUNYA
directly. A group of scholars from
aviet Union were set to come to
SUNYA. However, Hoffman explained that
due to "fear for the safety of these men due
to the political situation’? the visit was
cancelled by Soviet officials,

crease guidelines could be covered
by the state, ‘I strongly urge you to
examine all services provided by
your agency in an effort to
minimize the fees and charges
which may be appropriately in-
stituted or raised,”” he wrote,
Tt was on this topic that SASU
President and Trustee delegate Jim
‘Tierney spoke strongly during the
meeting.
“I've heard from the legislature
to the governor to SUNY Central
that this year may very, well be the
year of the fee,” Tierney said, "We
must remember that the fees are
hon-Tapaidable,"" he sald address.
ing the fact that the state's Tuition
Assistance Program covers tuition

“As a board, we must move
toward a policy of calling tuition
tuition," he sald, He cited a utility
charge to campus faculty student
associations, relayed (0 students, as
a ‘tithe,’ which averages out to
$23 per students’ cost of an educa.
tion; it’s a smoke screen!”
‘Tierney sald that certain costs are
involved in the provisions of ser-
vices to students that ‘we previous-
ly considered educationally
necessary costs,"” and that calling
them fees instead will "create a
mess for students in the future,”
He also cited a ‘California
system," where there {s no tuition,
“but a fee for everything," totall-
ing about four to five hundred
dollars a semester, !'We may be go:

sald, “We just didn't see it.”
Trustee Judith Moyers question

would be fair to all students, Whar-
ton called the problem one of deter-
mining to what extent a majority of
students might subsidize a minority,
Which he suld might happen by rais-

Student delegates approved a new constitu
tion that will include the recognition of a
Graduate Student Employees Union
(GSEU), GSEU, which represents 1,000
employed SUNY Graduate Assistants
(GAs), Research Assistants (R.A.s), and
Teaching Assistants (T.A,s) Was approved
‘nearly unanimously"? according to Keith {n-
lis, steering committee member from
SUNYA
The conference which included represen-
{atives from all four University Centers was
the result of a long struggle that began in
1974, According to Gary Clurceak statewide
president of the GSEU, the union started at
the University of Buffalo in 1974 and then at-
tempted to be recognized by New York
Public Employees Relations Board
(NYPERB), “Bul,” said Ciurczak, “they

he added,
In 1981, Clurezak explained, students at
Buffalo decided to try to make OSEU
statewide, The major enrollment drive, ac~
cording to Glurezak began in November
1982, and by May 1983, several thousand
names had been collected and were submitted
to NYPERB,
‘The weekend convention was described by
Steve Tesser, a SUNYA math T.A,, as hav-
Ing ‘ots of exciting controversy," ‘We ap-
proved a consititution that's important to all
G.A,s, R.A.s and T.A,S on campus. All ma-
Jor decisions that the union will make or par-
ticipate in will be decided upon by the
membership.”
According to Ciurczak the union will final-
ly give GAs, RAs and T.A.s a “legally
Tecognized bargaining agent!’ to negotiate
with SUNY for pay scales and other benefits
“A QSEU would organize Graduate
Students and perform the act of collective
bargaining for G.A.5, R.A.s, and T.A.s to
make certain minimal guarantees, such asi
come," said Tesser, ‘It’s just luck," he add=
ed, “at Albany we're fortunate, other

tion Is still developing. The O.A.s, R.A.S
and T,A.s are still striving to establish a
Graduate Student Association at SUNYA,
“Albany is the only campus without a
Graduate Student Association," said Inglis,
‘The GSA would be similar to the Student
Association working for undergraduates at
SUNYA, he added,
“It would seem to me that SA would
benefit by having a GSA on campus. A lot of
the things that SA is interested in a GSA
Would also be interested in, such as lawyers,
and major medical health insurance plans,’"
Inglis noted,
According to Tesser under the present ma
Jor medical health insurance plan only
graduate students who are United States
citizens can benefit from the program, "That
climinates at least half of the G.A.s, R.A.s
and T.A,s at Albany, What kind of plan is
that?”” questioned Tesser,
Both Tesser and Inglis stressed that a
Graduate Student Association would only
improve the quality of SUNYA. “It is to
SUNY’s advantage if the Graduate Students
become more professional and increase the
quality of education and research and SUNY
as a whole,”? Tesser said,
Inglis noted that Graduate Students have
not been led to believe that they are doing a
good job, Having a union and a profession
status, he explained, would encourage a fecl-
Ing of professionalism and a commitment of
quality in education and research. ‘That is
our most important reason for forming a
Graduate Student Association,” he said.
The GSEU still has another battle to fight,
Tesser stressed, Presently the GSEU has a
written constitution, a delegate assembly and
an executive committee, he said. “Our next
big task at this point is getting the state to
ceritfy us as the legal bargaining agent for the

Marketing manager tells why Coke
Coca-Cola Vice President Thomas Bontalr
"Diet Coke was an unparalleled success in marketing.”
By Mike Taubleb
‘One of the most effective ways to learn
about any subject is from leaders in the field,
and when it comes to marketing, Coca Cola’s
leadership is evident, according to the Ex-
ecutive Vice President of the North East
Coca Cola Bottling Company, Thomas Bon-
fair. Bonfair spoke on the subject ‘How is
‘Coke it’ " held Tuesday afternoon in LC 18.
‘The lecture was a combination of advice to
prospective marketing majors and a
demonstration of these techniques in action
as integral parts of Coca Cola’s successful
promotion of Diet Coke.
Bonfair spoke of ‘‘winning, working hard,
being a strategist and getting involved as the
major attributes of a good marketing
manager.”
Addressing a nearly full lecture center, the
Vice President lamented the lack of strategi
thinking in students entering the profes-
sional marketing field, He labeled strategic
thinking, ‘the dynamic movement and
countermovement of forces. The Japanese,"
he explained, ‘ have natural talent in
strategic thinking, Few business schools exist
there, nevertheless American in
dustry—especially the automobile manufac
urers—have a lot to learn from them," he
prospective marketing executive must be
prepared for failure and success, and to start
at the bottom," He then elaborated on Coca
Cola's application of successful marketing
strategies in its struggle to increase its share
Of the soft drink market,
“The successful introduction of Diet Coke
into the intensely competitive soft-drink
market was an unparalleled success in
SUNY system," Tesser explained,
Members of the GSEU are also considering
affiliation with a National Union, One
member stated, ‘Affiliation with a National
Union would allow us access to information
and people who are used to bargaining with
the state,’” “We were given the authority to
go ahead and go into negotiations, but
general membership will have to approve it,”
Inglis added,
A total of twenty-seven graduate student
attended the conference in Binghamton, in
cluding five representatives from Albany
Tesset and Inglis, two of the attendees bot
‘agreed that the conference was a huge success
and a step in the right direction for Graduate
Students: statewide, “I went there worried
about politics and power plays," said Tessc
“but the amount of dedication and good
feclings that were generated by the delegate
‘was really inspiring.
is really it
marketing history,” asserted Bonfair, adding
that “one million cases were sold in New
York in one month, Behind this success was
an intense level of secrecy concerning the
name and nature of Coke's new product
Such tactics as code names and routine swit
ching of offices mislead the competition
enough to prevent anyone from entering a
similar product on the market before Coke,
Bonfair said,
A short promotional film dealing with the
preparation for Diet Coke's introduction was
shown midway through the lecture, Justify:
ing the large cost of Diet Coke's advertising
campaign, the Vice President claimed, ‘'the
best of everything should be invested in pro
moting the best product."
Speaking on the role of the marketing cx
ecutive, Bonfair maintained, ‘itis the job of
the marketing department of a company to
develop products that consumers want.” He
said, "the marketing executive should not
consider his own individual preferences and
should understand the effect of public rela
tions on the successful promotion of a pro
duct.” This was evident in the way Coke
manipulated the media to focus significant
coverage on the introduction of Dief Coke 10
the public.’” Commenting on the necessary
evil of cannabilization — when one product
steals a share of the market from another
product of the same company — Bonfair
assured that, "Coca Cola came out ahead,
though Diet Coke has deprived Tab of some
of its market,”
“How is ‘Coke it’; Strategic Thinking in
Relation to Marketing Diet Coke’” was spon-
sored by the Delta Sigma Pi fraternity and

The dean of the School of

In meetings with Paaschburg and
Rovsing, Kahalas discovered that
they were very interested in higher
education. Both are on advisory
counsels to universities in Den-

Single women from Albany,
Schenectady and Troy are included
in her studies, White sald, explain-
ing that these are ideal socio-
economic pools since the three were
different in the early 1900's but
within the same locale, According
to White, Troy was a city Of textile

dominated by General Electric, and
Albany had more diverse factories

“His love for the material comes through
in each lecture," said one mythology student.
“Because of his enthusiasm, it's easier for us
to be interested."
This enthusiam spurred Lenardon's entry

‘etd like to consider myself a demanding
teacher, not a pushover, But the students, 1

"The students required pushing, and he
never really pushed us,” said Jennifer Her-
rala, a former Latin student of Lenardon's,
"And It was too easy to get him off on a
tangent, But it's not like he's a pushover,"
She sald Lenardon was fairly strict when
grading tests, ‘He had a lot of resources on’
hand," she said, “and that added a lot to the
course,'*
Classics Department Chairman John
Overbeck says Lenardon is ‘‘a quiet fellow, «
nice person easy to get along with."
Herrala agreed, Lenardon {s ‘willing to

Lenardon said he's a native Canadian,
grew up in Ontario, and came to the U.S, on
4 scholarship to the University of Cincinnat-
ti, where he earned his M.A. and Ph.D,
degrees in classics. In addition to Greek and
Latin literature and language, Lenardon says
he also studied archeology and history. He
says he feels fortunate to have studied with
Blegen—the famed excavator of Troy and
Pylos, and to have had Malcolm MacGregor,
@ reknowned Greek historian and
epigraphist, as his Ph.D, advisor,
In the early 1950's Lenardon taught at Col-
Umbia University. “1 suppose that spoiled

Lenardon joined SUNYA for the 1981-82
academic year, according to Overbeck, "He
was an addition to the staff, He came for a
year's visit, then went back to Ohio State,"
“I knew people in the department,"’
Lenardon said of his decision to come to
Albany, “I thought it would be a nice
change, The wanted me here because of my
interests and (for) the areas in humanities
they were trying to develop.’
This year Lenardon is an exchange pi
fessor, according to Overbeck, ‘He's ex-
changed places with Hans A, Pohlsander.
Administratively, it's very simple. Both men
are still on their own university's 's payrolls;
they're just swapping offices." Lenardon
teaches the classes “that Mr, Pohlsander

Overbeck. “It’s good to have somebody dif-

hese days, everyone needs a gimmick; it's a great way of
getting attention, And what better a way to get attention
than to jump up and down, waving your hands in the air?
Perhaps it was because of Bob McAllister, host of Wonderama,
that side-to-side-hands-over-head waving became fashionable
Somehow the act of hand waving got associated with hysteria and
a new idea was born — Eddie.
When he first hit the airwaves, Crazy Eddie was a nightmare on
our soft rock radios. Like a jolt of high energy, he zapped his way
into our homes, forever defacing the mellow world which the FM
dee-jays so carefully crafted.
Because his hysterical approach was so successful, Eddie
became famous, A sure sign of his success was that Eddie was be-
ing copied by everyone.
Crazy E. spawned a multitude of spin-offs. Eddie-isms included
the man from Ronco, the new FM dee-jays, Richard Simmons,
gameshow hosts, and hardcore punk music, all for just $19.95.
The ginsu knife is free,
Before Eddie, FM dee-jays were ‘laid back’ (i.e. just breathe
heavily into the microphone and let Led Zeppelin do all of the
Screaming). But, no thanks to Ed, today's radio gimmick is to play
snatches of loud dialogue from old TV shows over the beginnings
of songs. A song Isn't a song anymore, it's become a Screamer of
the Week, And if the ‘Screamer’ isn't loud enough for you, why
not ‘Crank it Up'? Alas, the big E’s hysteria had destroyed an era of
mellow rock and mellow people
Now, the airwaves and picture tubes bombard us with crazies —
crude, garrish people who go to extraordinary extremes to garner
attention, “Tuck those tummies girls. . loud rules, loud fast
rules, . it’s time now to play Family Feud. . order now, don't
delay. . . Yabba dabba dooooo000!" It's become an obsession with
hysteria
But is this raving, hand-waving hysteria if not a device to act out
the uncouth mannerisms that we have repressed in ourselves? Ed-
die is the loudest ('It'sssss here!), the dumbest (Crazy Eddie is hav-
ing a Christmas Sale in August) the most foolish man we know
Yet, he's also the most human, capturing a part of ourselves that
we'd drather not admit to and just as soon forget

{Sound And Vision
Visions Of Howard Devoto
fter two years behind the scenes,
Moward Devoto, the man dubbed
the “most important man alive” by
NME magazine, has released his debut
album, entitled Jerky Versions of the Dream,
{tis a first rate effort
Joe Romano
Devoto has been a mainstay of the English
miusic scene since 1976, when he emerged
as she lead vocalist of a pioneer punk band,
the Buzzcocks, He left this Manchester group.
shorlly thereafter because he felt he had to
shout to get his point across, and use eight
words where one would have sufficed
Magazine was his next project. They
developed a large cult following in the U.K
but never caught on in the United States
After putting out six powerful albums, the
band split up in search of new horiz

musicians for the album, ineluding
friend and former Magazine keyboardist
Dave Formula, He helped with the musicol |
arrangements, as well as playing the FSE
synthesizer, and occasional piano on all of
the songs, Former Magazine bassist, Barry
Adamson, who has also worked recently |
with former Buzzcock Pete Shelley, also ap
pears on a few cuts
The album Is certainly reminiscent of
Magazine, yet itis also quite different. There
isn't one set dominant musical style, but a
variety of types, ranging from a ballad to an
all-out rock-n-roll_number, Devoto also
varies the musicians, and the instruments us-
ed for each tune, His creative genius is
shown in that he alone wrote the music and
Iyrics for eight songs, and co-wrote the other
two, He is able to enjoy more musical
freedom now than he ever could while fron:
ting Magazine, Howard Devoto’s talents are
able to flourish on this album as they never
have before
The first cut, and perhaps the best on the
album, is “Cold Imagination," It is a very
Upbeat song highlighted by the great plano
and synthesizer work of Formula, and the
top-notch drumming of Pat Ahern
Although Devoto makes use of the syn:
thesizer on every song, it merely adds to the
musle rather than. controlling it, Laura
Teresa's icy chants accent the song beautiful
ly, as does Martin Heah's steady bass line,
and Alan St. Clair’s subtle guitar riffs, The
chorus Is very catchy, as is the case in most
of the tunes on the LP. The rest of the song
keeps you off-balance, which Is now a
Devoto trademark

The single from Jerky Versions of the
Dream \s "Rainy Season,” which is the only
tune getting any radio airplay. It has also
been released as an MTV vidio, which marks
the first time Devolo has ventured into this
field. It Is a very quick paced, accessible
number, again highlighted by the stupen:
dous work of Dave Formula and Pat Ahern.
Devoto changes speeds again on “Way
Out of Shape,” as he finally unleashes St
Clair, Heath and Ahern on an out-and-out
rockin’ tune. He immediately brings the
music to a grinding halt with a ballad entitled
jome Will Pay (for What Others Avold),’
on which Devoto utilizes a saxaphone
sound, courtesy of Gary Barnacle of Leisure
Process.
Through all of this, Howard Devoto
manages to remain in total command of the
situation, which is his strongest attribute, His
thoughtful Iyrics and distinct, nasal voice
make the songs, The instruments are a subtle
background for his sentiments, rather than

Heath, James, and Adamson are kept in

overshadow Devoto, yet sill keep the music
tight
His clear, crisp vocals bring his ideas
actoss very convincingly. Most of these con:
cepts are centered around the topic of love,
and they convey a feeling of rejectio
pointment and frustration, In "Topless,"
sings about a man who is infatuated wih a
certain woman who shuns him as if he were

Two of the other top cuts on the album are
‘Waiting for a Train,” and “Taking Over

ing to leave behind his bitter past by taking a
train to see his lover once again, The music is.

of the rest of the LP.
The music on Jerky Versions of the

ENTERING tie JwrLGHT ZONE
by David Singer
Those of us who have grown up in the 70's and
early $U's have watched more television than any
previous generation, despite the fact that televi
sion has had very little to offer in the way of quali
ty. Some of the best TV available has come in the
n of reruns of “classic” shows from the 50's,
60's, and even the 70's, such as The Honey
mooners, | Love Lucy, The Odd Couple, and,
most recently, Mash, Probably the best thing
about reruns for the fans is that they usually
scheduled daily. When orl lly aired, the
viewers had to wait a week between episodes, but
for today’s fans, these shows can be seen at least
once a day, and twice or even three times depen:
ding on how well you can negotiate your cable
box.
Of all the “classics,” the one that has offered us
the most, yet always seems to be the least access.
ble is, The Twilight Zone. The Twilight Zone was
originally aired as a weekly series on CBS, from
1959-1964, for a total of 156 episodes, all shown
in prime time. Asa rerun, it has always been a sur.
prise to find The Twilight Zone on before 11p.m.
and oftentimes it can only be seen after midnight.
But the late air time that The Twilight Zone has
traditionally been scheduled for has actually add.
ed a lot to what is already an incredible show. The
Twilight Zone just isn't the same when it's light
out, and the later it's on at night, the more effec:
tive the stories become, Probably the most crucial
element for a proper "Twilight Zone" atmosphere
is that the lights must be out — the viewer must be
immersed in the mysteries of the night
I'm from the New York City area, so | grew up
watching "The Zone” on WPIX (Channel 24 on
Capitol Cablevision), Throughout high school,
WPIX showed the Zone on a pretty regular basis
on weeknights around 1 a.m. This made things
pretty tough because of school, and my parents
didn't particularly enjoy finding me watching TV
that late, or sleeping in front of the TV the next
morning. So I didn’t watch the show very reqular-
ly, The show was usually also aired,however, on
Friday and Saturday nights, though even later,
say 3 or 4. a.m. This was a great way to end the
night, whether still with friends, or at home alone.
Summers were, for me, the best time for The
Twilight Zone, Even if 1 was working, staying up
until 2 a.m. on a weeknight didn't seem so bad.
The problem was that with summer came the
Yankees, and WPIX aired many of their games.
The games would always end after 11 p.m
pushing back the regularly scheduled programm:
ming, This wouldn't be so horrible except for the
fact that WPIX always seemed to try to get back
onto their correct schedule by putting on the Zone
“already In prog which is nothing short of
sactilege, or by not showing it at alll Nothing could
be more frustrating than staying up until 2 a.m,
and not seeing the Zone, or seeing half of it,
especially if its your first time seeing the episode
When | got to college (Fall 1980), I learned to
appreciate what | once had — The Twilight Zone
was not broadcast In Albany. | learned that
Capitol Cablevision had WPIX, but living on cam
pus, | had very limited access to cable TV.
During the summer of 1982, a new station
started in Albany — WXXA, channel 23 (5 on
cable). Not only did it feature lots of great movies,
but The Twilight Zone was on every night at 11
p.m, Amazing! But 11 p.m. had always been
prime studying hours for me, A change in
schedule seemed imminent. I think whoever runs
the library must be into the Zone, because when
the school year started, the library suddenly had
new hours — it was only open until 11 p.m,, not
midnite, Perfect, At 10:40 p.m., I'd hear “The
library will be closing in 20 minutes. If you'd like to
check out any materials, please come to the cir-
culation desk now,” which to me meant “Th
Twilight Zone ‘s starting in 20 minutes, If you'd
like to watch it tonight, please go back to your
room now." Every night a group of us would go
back to my room, tum out the lights, and cross
over into The Twilight Zone.
At the end of 1982 a book called The Tullight
Zone Companion was published. The book is a
long overdue ¥y-show guide to one of the
greatest television series ever," and a must for any
Zone fan. It contains information about Rod Ser!
ing, the history of the show, and a section on each
episode. For each episode we get one or {wo pic.
tures, the credits, the opening and closing
monologues, a short synopsis of the plot, and
then some trivia about the episode. For Zone fans
both fanatic and casual, this book is nearly im-
Possible to put down; one becomes lost in this
magical world, awakened to reality only by a fear
that the episode you are reading about may be
one you've yet to see — a Tare treat.
The first thing I remember doing with the book
was trying to count how many episodes | had
seen, but it was hard to remember exactly which
ones I had seen, without reading the synopsis’
which I didn’t want to do, because if | hadn't seen
the episode, I didn't want to know it’s plot, The
same thing occurs every time I have a conversa-
tion about the Zone. There is no such thing as a
short conversation between two Twilight Zone
fans. Once this common shared love Is
iscovered, a discussion about every show that
can come to mind inevitably blossoms, Like
teading’ the book, the problem that arises is a
desire not to learn the story of a Zone that you
have Yet to see. The conversation might develop
like this:

This past summer a movie called Twilight Zone
The Movie was released, receiving mixed
reviews which tended towards bad. The movie
isted of four segments. Three were Twilight
Zone remakes and one was an original. The
original was written and directed by John Landis
‘and was very trite. It had a typical Zone plot, but
lacked the real surprise of the TV show. Steven
Spielberg directed an episode called "Kick the
Can," which was perfect for him. In terms of sen-
timentality, this episode is the ET of Twilight
Zones — you know, the kind that could make you
cry. ET almost had me crying, this didn't. The
thitd segment, called “It's a Good Life,” was so
different than the original that { had no idea that |
had seen it until | looked it up in the book. This
one was done very well, but most agree that the
last segment was the best, It is called "Nightmare
at 20,000 Feet” and was directed by George
Miller. The original starred William
Shatner, so it was tough to watch someone else in
the role, but it was John Lithgow's brilliant perfor
mance as a man going crazy that made this seg
ment the only one to rise above mediocrity. Dan
Akyroyd and Albert Brooks made brief ap:
pearances at the beginning and end of the movie,
which added some humor and surprise.
I thought that, overall, the movie was quite
entertaining, which Is pretty good coming from a
big Zone fan. | probably liked it so much because
although | wanted it to be great, I didn't expect it
to be amazing like the TV show. Though it was
enjoyable, the film did not come close to capturing
that intangible essence which makes the original
Twilight Zone something much more than enter-
tainment
Besides, the movie was in color, which made it
all the more difficult to think of it as actually being
The Twilight Zone. The Zone will always be
remembered as being in black and white, While
color TV excites, entertains, and fills the senses,
black and white leaves more to the imagination. It
is composed of various degrees of shadows and
light and as Rod Serling said, The Twilight Zone is
a land of both shadow and substance,” and, “a
journey into a wonderous land whose boundaries
are that of imagination,””
The movie was narrarated by Burgess
Meredith, a very good choice, despite the fact that
The Twilight Zone and the late Rod Serling were
synonymous. Meredith, along with child actor Bil:
ly Mumy and Jack Klugman, was probably in
more Zones than anyone else, so he did have
close ties with the show, evoking nostalgic sen:
iments from us fans. He also has a wonderful
storyteller’s Voice, But again, it just was not, and
could not, be the same as Rod Serling and his
original, inimitable narration,
version
The Twilight Zone is a truly remarkable
phenomenon — a TV show that originally aired
20 years ago, yet still has a “cult” following type of
status. What is most impressive about the show Is
that each episode's moral or point fs still valid to:
day. Whereas The Honeymooners and The Odd
Couple can still be enjoyed because they're funny,
The Tuslight Zone temains a pleasure because It
makes us think, and wonder. It presents us with
questions that force us to reevaluate the way that
we look at things.
Why this show was able to generate such a
following has been in part a matter of timing. Dur
ing a period where we were all addicted to junk
television, this was possibly the only show that
was worth our 30 minutes — every time! What
made it work was that it stimulated our brains
while entertaining us with the unexpected, And
during the 70's, when apathy and ambivalence
seemed to be the guiding forces behind politics
and morality, when the country was trying to
recover {rom the polarization of the 60's, The
Twilight Zone was a lone clear yoice, calling for
human decency and good sense in the face of the
unknown
Not only was the show unique because of its
stories, but even more so because of Its presenta:
tion. The filming was almost always superb and in
novative, the acting was simply In a class by itself,
and, of course, the show always began with the
familiar haunting music and introduction, "You're
travelling through another dimension , . ."" By the
time that Rod Serling — remembered for his stark
Jack of upper lip, and a voice that seemed to fit the
show to perfection — finished his opening
monologue, only several minutes into the show,
you were already hooked by the intriguing sug
gestiveness of the plot
Currently in Albany, The Twilight Zone can be
seen on weeknights at 11 p.m, on WSBK, a sta-
tion from Boston, available on Channel 23 on
Cable TV. For those of you on campus or without
cable television, it would probably be worthwhile
fo write to WXXA to try to get them to put it back
on

nion starts, “If you've bought this book, or you:

Bad trend noted
To the Euite
BA have been looking at trends on this campus over several
Peirs. Hive years ago 1 could walk down the dorm halls and
Bell the sweet aroma of pot, Today as 1 walk about in the
Fesidence halls 1 don’t find the smell flowing, Is this a good
ign? What docs it represent? To me there has been an alar
ing trend in recent years. In days gone by students sought
AO recreate, enjoy life, and grow. Today the situation has
Heriorated 10 & situation in which all that is valued is the
grade. A full well rounded education has been replaced by
concentrated effort to get marks and get out, The past at-
mosphere of the college community has turned into a cut
throat competition center where the students only concern
is for him- or herself. Are we turning out better people, well
adjusted and ready to help their fellow man? Orare we pro
ng. They were maladjusted, self-centered, rude, uncaring
individuals, It is my opinion that this institution should
focus more on producing well adjusted socially concerned
young adults, rather then the self centered uncaring in-
dividuals 1 sce emerging today. Education involves matur-
ing and growing not just book learning and memorization
of material. We must return to the time when students were
socially aware and concerned, If we are to produice a better
society in which (o live our emphasis must change,

the candidates. What it appeared to be in the eyes of one
who watched the campaign very closely was a last-ditch ef-
fort to secure a position for a friend without regard as to
how hard the other candidates worked, This fact is further
confirmed in that only the candidate Steve Sinatra was en-
dorsed by Rich Schaffer, The other four quads were also
electing one Central Council member, but no candidate was
endorsed, Why was only the candidate from Alumni en-
dorsed? 2
On Tuesday night, the final night of the election, both
the Brubacker and the Waterbury-Alden cafeterias were
“invaded"” by a crew of Sinatra supporters, including our
Very own Central Council representative, Steve Russo,
What they did was electioneer in both cafeterias, an illegal
action, On Monday night they attempted to frame the main
Opponent, Nathaniel Charny, by complaining that he was
electioneering in the cafeteria, when in fact he was respon

plot, they proceded to take the rules of the election commit-
tee Ino thelr own hands. The manager of the Brubacher

Vant agrees not to contest any mat-
ter with respect to her renewal or
no-renewal in any forum including
the grievance procedure, Article 33
of the collective agreement between
arties (UUP and SUNY), the
Division of Human Rights, or State
or Federal Court,!* "I took this t0
mean that there would be no legal
action,"” added Welch,
According to Chen, she signed
the letter and understood the clause
to mean that she, “would not con-
test any of President O'Leary's
previous non-renewals. It didn't
mean the Chancellor's review.
Welch stated that the review
upheld the position of the Universi-
ty, and that Chen was removed
from the staff on February 28,
1983.
Professor Chen has said that,
“while looking over the
Chancellor's Review Committee's
review process and its final negative
decision, I became al] the more
enraged with the contaminating
power of a campus president,"
Chen has claimed that ‘tin order to
procure favored consideration for
his woman friend... A university
president can corrupt not only those
administrative personnel working
under him but also implicate the
SUNY Central Administration in
the act of continuing injustice to a
committed and dedicated faculty
member."
President O'Leary tried to reaf-
firm his position by saying that he
just wanted ‘people to understand
that it wasn't a one-person
decision," "'The case was reviewed
four times and upheld all four
times,’ he emphasized, Chen cited
f recent article In the Schenectady
Gazette which stated that ‘Some of
New York State's best teachers are
leaving their chosen profession
complaining of lack of respect."
She has claimed that “if my case is
not rectified... it will serve as a
signal that academic quality is not
seriously regarded in SUN
Since her dismissal, Chen, who
received a doctorate in Chinese
Studies from Yale in 1967, has been
very busy, ‘I have published one
book, another is being reviewed and
I'm finishing my third,’ she said

Suit against NYPIRG barred
By Tim Sheil
STATE PRESS SERVICE
Eight students who sted the New
York Public Interest Research
Group last spring, in hopes of get-
ting back activity money given to
the consumer awareness group,
have been denied class action status
in the case, This removed nearly $1
million in lability against
NYPIRG.
According to NYPIRG Director
Marilyn Ondrasik, U.S, District
Court Judge Lloyd F. McMahon
denied the cight class action status,
Which would have had Ne students
NY students, because they filed
for tlt status a month after the
Wa deadline, about (wo weeks ago.
Why the plaintiffs, represented
by corporate-subsidized Mid-
Atlantic Legal Foundation, did not
make the filing deadlineis presently.
unknown, Mid-Atlantic attorney
John Collins, representing the
plaintiffs, refused comment on the
issue,
‘Ondrasik said seven SUNY cam:
puses,all with NYPIRG chapters on
campus, were also named in the suit
and that NYPIRG attorneys will try
to remove three of those as
defendents because the cight
students come from only three cam
puses,
The student plaintiffs, from
Albany, New Paltz and Stony
Brook, claimed that forced con:
tributions, via activity fee payments,
allocated to NYPIRG after campus
referendums, violated constitu-
tional rights to free speech and due
process of the law.
Ondrasik said fast spring that if
NYPIRG lost, other issue oriented
groups like gay and lesbian and
black student unions, and SASU,
could conceivably come under at-
lack, Still, she says, because the
judge “based his decision not on
the merits of the ease, but on the
basis of being a month late,
students could sue other groups on
similar basis,
The class action suit, had it been
granted by the judge, would have
sought repayment of all) activity

fayerage male faculty member last
year made over $5000 more than his
female colleague, and continued to
lget higher raises than her, a new
study by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NC
The gap between men's
women’s faculty salaries has widen-
led steadily since a 1977-78 low of
$3500, Last year it reached $5374,
Teports,
“Much of the overall difference
(in men's and women's salaries) is
due (o women being at the lower
level positions on their faculty,"”
says Tom Snyder, an NCE
Janalyst. Indeed, the report shows
here were 76,508 male professors
last year, compared to only 9654
female profs, At the instructor
level, however, 11,735 were women,
while 10,527 were men, Snyder
believes the salary-gender gap will
narrow as more women Work thelt
Way up the Indder and achieve more
seniority,
“Another reason for the
diserepency,"” Snyder says, ‘could
be the salary differences among dif-
ferent fields of study. More men,
for example, teach In engineering

usually have higher pay scales than
lother fields,

The salary difference between men}
and women varied from $1100 for}

$4000 for professors,
The growing gap (between

discrimination against women fn

associate director for the American
Council on Education's Office of
Womien in Higher Education, Even
considering that many women are
weomers to higher education and
ay teach in lowerspaying fields,
“he report is proof that the pro-
gress women made in the seventies
is still far from finished,"
Touchton says. Furthermore, ‘the
proof is only the first step, Based on
this information, institutions: need
to look at themselves and see that
men and women with comparable
years of service are getting paid
equally."

Chippewa Indian speaker recalls being jailed
By Suzanne Murphy
‘Adam Fortunate Eagle Nordwall, a Chip-
pewa Indian, was jailed a year anda half ago
for selling eagle feathers,
After a hung jury and an unpaid fine of
$15,000 Nordwall is still fighting with the
federal government. He spoke about some
of the obstacles he's encountered with the
government and the plight of American In-
dians’ civil rights at a speech sponsored by
the Anthropology Club Wednesday night.
Nordwall was introduced by Dr, Peter
Furst, a member of the anthropology depart.
ment at SUNYA, Furst said he and his wife
Jill met Nordwall white camping in Sante Fe
fast summer.
Nordwall addressed the audience with his
hair in two long braids, wearing traditional
Indian beads and shirt, and smiling as he
spoke, Yet, the fight for ‘the right to
American Indian’? is a “somber thin;
Nordwall,
He spoke of Indian civil rights, saying that
not until 1887 were American Indians
recognized as people by the federal govern:
ment. ‘'To prove that we were not animals,
but people," said Nordwall, “an Indian had
to humble himself and cry in a federal court,
Animals cannot cry,"’ he said
In 1924, the speaker pointed out, Indians
were finally given the right of citizenship,
However, ‘this only gave the Indians the ap-
pearance of citizenship,” He explained that
Indians are required to take a competency
test, “If you don't pass, you are considered
Incompetent and the federal government
sends the Bureau of Indian Affairs to guide
you, We have another name for the BIA:
Boss Indians Around,’ he said.
In 1969, he continued, the American In:
dian Freedom of Religion and Worship Act
was passed, proving that if such an act had to
be passed that ‘Indian citizenship was a
tokenism, a joke,""
Nordwall then held up a thick volume of
papers saying, ‘In 1979-President Carter
signed one page of this: the American Indian
Religious Freedom Act. He directed it to
Congress to get some legislative teeth put into

relations. In 1980 he was a foreign policy ad-
viser to presidential candidate John B.
Anderson, He also has studied at the Kennan
Institute for Advanced Russian studies of the
Woodrow Wilson International Center for
scholars in Washington, D.
His talk was the first of three lectures of-
fered in the Rockefeller College
Undergraduate Program Lecture Series dur
ing the fall semester. Richard Small, pro-
fessor in the School of Social Welfare will
speak on ‘The Impact of Reagan Economics
on Health and Social Services in New York
State!’ November 9, Sherwood Zimmerman,
director of the Office of Program and
Development and Research, New York State
Division of Criminal Justice Services, will
speak about ‘Dilemma of Contemporary

it, but that was never carried out. These
pages have no legislative backing. The
government doesn’t want {0 talk to us about
ata
Nordwall also spoke of his personal battle
with the United States government over In-
dian ceremonial rights. ‘The outcome of
this battle could effect all American
Indians," he said, A year and a half ago,
he explained, he was approached on his reser-
vation by an urban Indian from Oregon who
expressed the desire to return to the tradi-
tional ways.: The Indian wished to purchase
eagle feathers from Nordwall, ‘I ama pipe
holder, which gives me certain responsibilites
and obligations to help people who come to
the reservation and want something in a
ceremonial way, ‘They have a kind of need
and they express that need, 1 believed this
man because he seemed sincere and spoke
such sweet words to me, 1 wish to trust
everyone, I wish to love everyone. I wish to
be friends with everyone," said Nordwall
But he sald that under several federal acts,
ndians cannot buy, sell, or trade eagle
feathers. He then pointed out that for cen-
turies eagle feathers have been the sacred
ceremonial objects of the Indians, “The
agle,"’ he said, ‘is the messenger to the
Grandfather, the Indian spiritual leader and
creator of all things.”
He made three transactions with the
Oregon Indian, he said, After the third,
Nordiwall and the buyer went to his gallery to
Took at some of Nordwall’s art, The building
‘was then surrounded by federal agents and he
was arrested for violation of federal law:
was handcuffed and shackled with leg irons
and then taken to a holding facility in Reno,
Nevada,’” said Nordwall, “When 1 was
booked, the prosecutor called my violation a
heinous crime, When the president-elect of
Lebanon was assasinated last year, President
Reagan said to the American people that the
assasination was a cowardly heinous crime, 1
was just one word away from being like
presidential assasin,’” he said.
The judge set his bond at $20,000 cash,
ceftificate bond, or corporate bond, “None
of which are available to Indians on reserva
tions because under federal lay, we cannot
put up collateral, It was a real Catch-22
situation." Nordwall's lawyer appealed to
the court to let him out on) his own
recognizance, on the fact that he had no past
record and was a valued member of his com-
munity. The judge refused, said Nordwall,
but lowered bail to $10,000. His wife and
friends managed to raise the money, making
the payment just minutes before the
Jeadline, recalled Nordwall.
Last February, the Grand Jury reconvened
for his trial, Nordwall said, He was re-
Indicted under a superceding law; — the
Migratory Bird Act. “The jurors could not
conyict me, but they would not acquit me,"
The trial was pronounced a mistrial
Since the trial, the government has brought
‘civil penalty against him, assessing him with
fa fine of $15,000, ''I'm not worried, first
because I don't ha

dians all oyer the nation and Canada have
prayed for him, ‘They have removed fear

wall.
In addition to the fine, Nordwall sald, the
government is still holding his engle feathers,
They will release them only on the condition
he registers them, signs his own search war-
rant (so that they can check on his feathers at
any time) and pay a rent on them until his ac-
quittal, All American Indians are supposed
{o register their eagle feathers under federal
law, he explained,
“The government controls the religious
ceremonial objects of the Indians, The New
York Times Magazine did a story on Sunday
about USSR control over church organiza-
tions, In Russia they control their ceremonial
abjects: candles, incense, wine, bread and
$ven bibles. What's the difference?,"" Nord-
wall asserted,
“The federal government is now letting me
swing on the rope of justice, waiting for thelr
next move," sald Nordwall, He went on to
say that the Federal Solicitors Office in
Washington called his lawyer and said, ‘'We:
realize we have a conflict in Indian Federal
Laws, but we're going to let the Indian fight
it out,'’ according to Nordwall.
“Now in the Indian way, I take this as a
great honor, The government has a problem
and they want to give me the honor of help-
ing them straighten it out, ‘The United States

Heated debate continues over 21 drinking age
By Karen Pirozzi
STATE PRESS SERVICE
Right after you turn 19, and have
the right to drink legally, the New
York legislature is considering rais-
ing the drinking age to 21, The
measure is already highly controver-
sia,
So far, some claim statistics show
that last year's hike to 19 has prov-
en effective, but others say the pro-
blem {s with neighboring. states
which have drinking ages higher
than New York's, These states say
that counties bordering New York
are showing a higher rate of alcoho!
related dents resulting from
young people crossing into New
York to drink legally, according to
Elaine Licclone, research analyst
for state Senator Frank Padavan.
“The drinking age in New York
has been 18 since prohibition,"” Lic
cione says, explaining the
Iegislature's seeming reluctan

the compromise of 19 was reached.

New York in regard to « uniform
policy, according to Lice
nsylyania's drinking age {s 21,
Massachusetts’ is 20 and Vermont is
‘one of only 5 states in the nation
with an 18-year-old drinking age,
However, Licclone says, ‘'a couple
years ago Vermont moved to raise
it.” The bill was vetoed by the
governor, but ‘the date for in
tion of the bill was to have been
when New York raiged ours,””
Liccione is not sure how much
support the proposed bill will ind
state-wide, but with Governor
‘Cuomo's support, she feels it will
probably be.a strong one. A public
hearing on November 4 in New
York City will give border states a
chance to discuss their objectives,
Protest is expected, Liccione says,

It’s “unconscionable that states do
not get together and decide what it’s

bartenders," Aiken added as she
charged that tavern owners and

Controversy surrounds plan for Reagan library
Stanford, CA
(CPS) Stanford University ad-
ministrators are in the middie of a
political controversy over plans to
locate President Ronald Reagan's
presidential library and museum at
the university.
At the same time, Emory Univer
sity in Atlanta is receiving "nothing
but positive feedback" from its
facully regarding {ts plans, an-
nounced last week, to operate Presi-
dent Jimmy Carter's new Carter
Center, which will be part of the
former president's library and
museum complex. Since Franklin
D. Roosevelt, every American
president has had a library and
museum errected in his name to
house important presidential papers
and honor his administration, But
many of Stanford's faculty
members are up in arms over plans
to locate Reagan's presidential
depository on campus,
While most agree the presidential
librarya — which would hold
millions of documents and archives
from the Reagan administration —

campus, many faculty members are

be more interest this time around,"
she added, “particularly with the
U.S. having troops in the Middle

The draft proposal also is garner

contenders for the Democratic
presidential nomination, adds
Kathy Ozer, legislative liaison for

“'Everyone's getting tough about

‘As the regular season ended,

pleased with the performance of her
squad, ‘We had a real good fall

It was a season of ups and downs

‘winning only one out of the last six.
It was a season of improvement
over last year's sub .500 record and
a season of injuries, rainouts, and

Although the regular season is

The turbulance of this team could
only be overcome by a strong
coach. Captain Joan Phillips sum

IATE SPORTS EDITOR
Tha game that in many ways typified their
season so far, the Albany State men's soccer
team was defeated by the visiting Oneonta
Red Dragons Wednesday afternoon by the
score of 1-0, It was the Danes’ second lo: in
a row and fourth in the last five games,
Albany's record is now 4-7,
The lone goal of the game came off the
foot of Onconta's Karnail Kona, who kick-
ed in a loose ball in front following a Red
Dragon corner kick, The goal came at the
{) 10:13 mark of the first half
“We can't play with any intensity,'? com-
mented frustrated Albany Head Coach Bill
Schieffelin. We keep walting until we're
behind, and we can't put the ball into the
goal, It’s very disappointing,”
Despite being outplayed in the first half,
the Danes came out stronger in the second
half and had a number of good chances to tie
the score,
Midfielder Jeff Hackett’s direct free kick
from Just outside the penalty area barely
hooked around the goal, and defender Mike
Miller's header off a free kick was stopped in
front, But Albany's best chance to tie the
game was probably on a play that occurred
Just as time was running out. Defender Bob
Garrett was standing about 10 yards in front
of the goal with only seconds remaining when
corner kick came right in front. He yolleyed
it towards the goal, but it sailed just over the
crossbar, and the Danes had a frustrating 1-0
defeat.
Earlier in the second half, forward Tihan
Presble broke in alone on goal only to be
tripped up from behind just outside the box.
The foul, while giving Albany a free kick,
probably saved a goal,
“Their guy should have been thrown out
of the game for that,’" Schieffelin said, "But
that wouldn't have made a difference. It’s no
excuse,”
Oneonta controlled the game in the first
half, outshooting the Danes 3-0 in the open-
ing 45 minutes, On their goal, the corner kick
hooked towards the goal as Dane netminder
Tom Merritt came out and tried to clear the
ball out, But the ball was rolling around in
front, where Koona flicked it into the upper
right hand corner for the lone goal of the
game,
The loss, combined with Albany's 2-1 loss
at Binghamton last Saturday, dropped
Albany's conference record to 2-4 and
climinated them from qualifying for the
SUNYAC Playoffs,

With Canfield back in the lineup, the
Danes will have to concentrate on stopping
Norwich's star running back sophomore
Winneford Brooks, whose 125 yards average
per game ranks him fourth in the nation
among Division I11 schools,
In last week's loss, the Danes were unable
to stop Cortland’s fullback Dave Cook, who
tan for 185 yards and two touchdowns
Tomorrow, if the Danes are unsuccessful in
Containing Brooks, the result could be the
same.
‘The Danes will try to force Norwich to
pass especially since there is some confusion
as to who will call the signals for the Cadets.
Speculation continues that starting junior
quarterback Tony Cirelli will be benched in
favor of sophomore Randy Gallagher
Cirelli's unimpressive statistics of 29 comple-
tions out of 75 attempts is one good reason
for the change, but no official announcement
has been made,
Meanwhile, sophomore Dane quarterback
Milano will continue to lead the Danes of-
fense, who hope to be able to grind out yar-
dage as well as they did last week.
Milano, who took over as quarterback in
the Danes’ third game of the season against
Brockport, has showed continual progress
each week,
“I'm definitely pleased with his improve-
‘ment over the weeks as a whole,"? said Ford,
“He still is forcing some passes and throwing
off balance once in a while, but that’s due to
One thing that he has though,
in himself to get the job done."
The Danes will continue to try mixing up
the wishbone running attack with Milans's
short passing game, which seemed to fool
Cortland's defense last week
The young offensive line showed marked
improvement last week, controlling the line
of scrimmage while cutting off pursuit on
outside running plays, but Ford feels their
success had something to do with their op-
ponents,
“Norwich's defense is a lot better coached
than Cortland’s,"" said Ford. "They're a real
good defensive ball club,””

‘Coming into this season nobody expected
the Albany State mei's tennis team to be as
good as they were, except for the players
themselves.
The Danes lost four of last year's top six
players, including numbers one and three, to
graduation last spring. In addition, the team
had to play without head coach Bob Lewis
who is considered in many tennis circles one
Of the best coaches on the East Coast.
Despite these losses, a quality team emerg-
ed from the pre-season and played well
enough to disspell observers’ fears of ‘'the
end of the dynasty,””
Senior Dave Ulrich took the big move up
to number one singles in stride, winning all
but one of his matches in non-tournament
play. Ulrich was also the champion of his
bracket in the SUNYAC tournament,
The other senior on this young squa
number three singles Rob Karen, who 4
had a banner season. Interim coach Jim Ser-
balik once said, ‘1 have never seen a player
who could make his opponent look so good
while beating him."”
A number of underclassmen were heavy
contributors to the team's success,
Sophomores Tom Schmitz, Dave Grossman,
and Jay Eisenberg stepped right into the
number two, four and five singles spots
respectively. Meanwhile, the number six slot
was occupied by sophomore Mike Derman-
sky until an ankle injury forced him to limit
his play. He was then replaced by junior
Mark Sanders who was possibly the most im-
proved member of the squad.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the way in
which Jim Serbalik filled in for coach Lewis
Serbalik got the offer to coach the team just
two days practice began, He then leu the
team to an 8-1 dual-meet record and capped
off the season with Albany's fifth straight
SUNYAC championship. This success was
the reason that he was named SUNYAC Ten-
nis Coach of the Year.
The Danes did not start off the season
especially well as they dropped their opening
day match to the Division 1 Army, This was
in no way a disappointing loss as far as the
Danes were concerned, Army, a team rich in
talent, began pre-season training in July two
months before Albany got started.

After the Oneonta meet, the Danes hosted
the Great Dane Classic and finished second
in a tie with local rival RPI, which was the
finest finish in the Great Dane Classic in
Albany's history,
Fresh from tying RPI in the Classic the
Danes faced the Engineers in a dual meet, It
‘was then that Albany was able to prove their
Superiority by beating RPI 6-3,
The netmen next were tested in the ECAC
tournament, This turned out to be their
toughest test of the season as they finished
seventh, This was considered a very respec-
table placement as four of the teams that beat
the Danes were Division I and Albany finish-
ed in front of the two Division I teams in the
25 team tournament,
Albany then traveled to Oswego where
they buried their SUNY conference rivals 8:1
in their final tune-up for the SUNYAC tour-
nament.
The SUNYAC tournament turned out to
be a walk over for the Danes as they captured
33 out of a possible 36 points while winning.
their fifth straight SUNYAC crown,
The good tennis did not end there, The
Danes, still high from their conference cham~

This is the closest knit tennis team this
University has seen in quite some time, This
sentiment seems apparent by Grossman's
comment. ‘I would like to thank coach Ser-
balik and the rest of the team. I really had a
good time this year, This team is definitely

The head coaches of Albany State's men's
and women's cross country teams couldn't
haye more different philosophies about
Satiirday's Capital Disirict meet.
Men's coach Bob Munsey claimed that
Winning the meet is not a priority. "We're
just running through this meet,"” said
Munsey, ‘This is more of a workout-lype of
meet; we're really not taking it that
serlously."”
Coming off a strong second place finish at
the SUNYAC championship, the men will be
facing four-time defending champion Siena,
RPI, and Union, Siena, a Division 1 school,
is a strong favorite to repeat, based on thelr
victory at the LeMoyne Invitatiohal, a meet
that involved several strong schools,
‘Coach Munsey has never seen Siena run
how good they are is a mystery to
‘The Incentive to beat Siena really isn't
for Munsey, His game plan would be to
stick with the RPI runners, But not
everybody lacks an incentive,
Leading runner Ed McGill, who was
bothered by a cold in last week's champion-
ship meet, has two reasons for Wanting to do
Well, "I don't like Siena or Union,"” said
McGill, ‘'so I really would like to beat
them,"* On a more personal level, McGill is
trying to redeem himself after a disappoin-
tng 24th place finish last week, **I'm a firm
believer in the saying, ‘you're only as good as
your last race,’ so I'm looking to come back
strongly,'? commented McGill, Last week his
cold hampered his ability to pass other run:
ners; though still sick, McGill will be closer to
full strength this week,
RPI also presents a challenge to Alban:
‘It should be an interesting battle betwe
RPI and ourselves,"’ said Coach Munsey,
“They'll be very competitive with their first
three runners, but I think that we can beat

The men's and women's cross country team will be hosting the Capital District
meet tomorrow afternoon. Also competing are RPI, Union and Siena,
them this year,"* Albany finished third
behind Siena and RPI last year.
Munsey wasn't too concerned about
Union, “I don't think that they're on the
same level as we are this year,"'he noted
Union was overwhelmed by RPI earlier this
year,
Despite Munsey’s indifference towards the
Capital District meet, co-captain Jim Erwin
insisted that he won't take this meet lightly.
+1] want to see if we can run with Siena," said
Erwin, 'The meet will be held on our home
course, Which should be to our benefit.”” The
last few years, the mect was held at a neutral
site.
Being a Division I school gives Siena cer-
tain advantages over a school like Albany
State. Some of these advantages aren't that
ethical, according to the coach. “I'm sure
that athletic prowess isn’t overlooked when
financial ald is given out at a Division 1
school,!” said Munsey. ‘‘Regardless of what
is sald, I'm sure that these schools engage in
such a fashion,”
The men will be concentrating on later
meets, rather than going all out here, To
Munsey, the Capital District meet is nothing
more than a timed workout. ‘With all the
big meets coming up, this meet just isn’t that
important to us,’” noted Munsey. ‘It comes
along at a very awkward time for us,
In sharp contrast with Munsey's views,
women's coach Ron White has been keying
his team for this meet for some time now.
“I've been talking Capital District since
September,” stated the coach. ‘This is the
meet that all the girls have been waiting for.”
White senses the mental readiness of the
women; they know that a victory here could
spell a turnaround for their thus far winless
season,

this weekend's performance
will determine which seven runners will go on
to the post-season events, The women that
don't make the top seven will represent
Albany in their Albany Invitational.
To repeat as champions, the runners would
have to defeat their main competition, RPI.
Albany lost to RPI 24 to 34 in an earlier meet
held at Hamilton; the women will be looking
to redeem themselves here. ‘RPI is a very
tight running team,"commented White.
‘They pack five runners within a minute;
we'll have to break that up. The girls will be
trying to position themselves with RPI’'s run-
ners to do just that, The physical contact that
will go on is very important; the times don't

Experts react to Lebanon tragedy
Eee
The question of the U.S. marine presence
in Lebanon and what the nation should do
now in the wake of Sunday's slaughter
brought widely differing reactions from local
government and foreign policy experts,
SUNYA Political Science Department
Chairman Martin Edelman said the marines
are in Lebanon as a tool of American foreign
policy — to exercise leverage in an important
part of the world, He added that he doubts
that Congress will force the President to
remoye the marines.
Abdo I. Banklini, Director of Interna-
tional Development Programs at the
Graduate School of Public Affairs and a
specialist in Middle Eastern and Lebanese af-
fairs, said President Reagan made a very un-
wise decision to put the marines in Lebanon
to fulfill « political role, “The sooner we
realize our marines are not serving any pur
pose there, that they are just (argets, the bet~
ter off we will be,"” he said,
According to Edelman, the three-week-old
compromise on the War Powers Resolution
between Congress and the President, when
Congress granted Reagan 18 additional mon-
ths t0 keep the troops in Lebanon before a
reexamination, was the most significant legal
word on the policy. ‘In a formal way, they'll
stay there," he said, adding that the constitu.
tionality of the resolution is in question since
the Supreme Court this summer declared
congressional vetoes unconstitutional,
Baaklini, however, said that although he
faults Congress for abandanine its nower in
the War Powers compromise, Congress and
the public are the eritical factors in the policy
decisions in the wake of the bombings,
The difference between public opinion
following the Gulf of Tonkin incident, where
President Johnson received overwhelming
support, and this tragedy is extremely impor-
tant, said Baaklini, The government is stil
pursuing some policies and not garnering
from the past, but the public, judging from
reactions, seems much more aware, he
sserted.
"I hope the Congress and the media will
bring some sense into this situation,’ said
Baaklini,
According to Baaklini, the U.S, now has
{wo options, In the short term, he sald, the
U,S, must make clear to the Gemayel regime
that It cannot count on it for protection for
long. The long term solution in both
Lebanon and the Middle East as a whole, he
said, is @ resolution of the Palestinian pro-
blem,
The whole root of the tragedy, sald
Baaklini, can be traced to U.S. attitudes
following the Israell invasion of 1982,
Bashir and Amin Gemayel were never seen
As legitimate leaders by other Lebanese, he
asserted, Rather, they were seen as leaders of
an aristocratic minority installed in power at
the point of an Israeli bayonet
“The U.S. made Gemayel its man," he
he does what America and
id of pushing for a true
national reconciliation, the U.S, supported
and attempted to legitimize the for-
mula of the Lebanese Constitution, which
calls for a Christian President and a Moslem
Prime Minister, with other

Protesters arrested during Seneca
"By Lisa Mirabella
More than 380 people, including eight
local residents, were arrested Monday for
blocking the gates of the Seneca Army
Depot, The civil disobedience was held after
Saturday's march and rally that brought
7,500 people to the upstate New York depot
that is believed to be storing Cruise and Per-
shing 11 missiles.
The attempted blockade had little effect on
depot operations because employees used
Unblockaded gates to reach work, sald Depot
spokesperson Robert Zemanek
“As far as we know, all the ones who in
tended to work haye come in,” he said, The
depot has 1,000 civilian workers, but
Zemanck said many did not come to work
because they were offered a liberal leave
policy for today if they wished to ayoid the
protest
The actions were part of world-wide events
protesting the deployment of nuclear missiles
and calling for a freeze on nuclear arms. Tom
Riissell said, “There was’ a stress: on. the
solidarity between U.S. and European ef-
forts.
The highlight of the rally was Women USA
chair, Bella Abzug who delivered a powerful
speech. Drea Leanza, a local organizer for
the Women's Peace Encampment, said of
Abzug, ‘Her speech was the most dynamic
one of the day. She put everything in a clear
perspective,'?
Other speakers included author Dr. Ben-
jamin Spock and columnist Manning.
Marable
The Seneca Army Depot is the principal
East Coast storage facility of nuclear
weapons, The Pershing I1 missiles thought to
be stored there are especially objectionable to
the protesters because of their capacity to
reach Soviet targets six minutes after they are
launched.
According (o Dirk Hoekstra, Disarma-
ment Project Co-coordinator at NYPIRG,
deployment of these missiles would drastical-
ly increase both the likelihood and the scale
of any military reaction,
Also, the missiles are yery small and if
deployed, they could invalidate many arms
conirol agreements because there will be no
Way {© verify them. Hoekstra said ‘The
missiles will be deployed in December if the
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces negoti
ions with the Soviet Union are not suc:
cessful."
Many protests were staged at sites in West
Germany, Sicily and Great Britain where the
missiles will be sent, while the focus of the
Seneca march was to protest them before
they are sent. Organizers were hoping {0 at
least delay the date of the deployment, so by
six months or a year INF negotiations could
be continued,
Another goal of the rally was to push for
the conversion of the Seneca Depot to a non
nuclear facility. Laenza said, ‘The com
munity depends on the depot for jobs," but
she sald they could keep the jobs without
housing nuclear weapons,
Russell said he felt the best part of Satur-
day's rally was the informal march from
‘Sampson State Park to the fence surrounding
the depot airfield, ‘It was really spooky, The
fence scems like it goes on forever, Inside is a
barren wasteland of an airfield.’” Many peo-

Beirut, Lebanon
(AP) About 300 Marine reinforcem
began their new duties in Beirut today as
rescuers dug out four more bodies from the
bombed U.S, command post, pushing the
overall American death toll to nearly 200,
Marine spokesman Maj. Robert Jordan
told reporters the new contingent of Marines
arrived at Beirut’s airport from Europe on
Monday night to replace those killed and
wounded in Sunday's suftide terrorist truck-
bombing of the Marines! headquarters,
Rescuers searched through the rubble for a
third straight day and four bodies were pulled
out this morning, zipped into olive green
nylon bags, put on a jeep and driven away,
Bulldozers and cranes provided by the
Lebanese government and private firms in
Beirut worked under spotlights thoughout

Marines! airport zone and at another truick-
bombed post of the French peace-keeping
force about a mile away at Belrut's seafront,
ince Cpl, Robert Calhoun, 21, of San
Antonio, Texas, said he was told by a Marine
senity who survived the blast that the sulcide
terrorist was wearing green fatigues and smil-
éd as he roared towards the building. The
bombing at the French post was staged in a
similar fashion,
The Marine commander in Beirut, Col,
Timothy Geraghty, was asked at a news con-

The latest figures issued by the U.S.

ed, But Jordan told reporters on the scene to-
day “Our casualty figures at this point are
almost 200 dead,"

Russell noted that from the beginning of
the rally organizers handed out American
flags to bring out the democratic ideals of the
march," The hope was ‘‘to end the idea that
the peace movement is counter-democratic or
anti-American,"” he added,
