As part of their Yom HaShoah
Holocaust Remembrance Program to

- commemorate the death of six million
Jews during World War II, the Jewish

Student Coalition (JSC) presented con- °

centration camp survivor Anton Segore
in an emotional and educational speech
Wednesday evening.

Promoting messages of tolerance and
pleas for remembrance, Segore recounted
the events he lived through in Hungary
during 1944—45 when the country was
under Nazi rule. “We were hopeful,” he
said about his family’s initial reaction to
being moved to what were then known as
work camps, but eventually turned out to
be death camps. “We did not want to
believe it, nobody could believe they
could sink so low.”

Segore was initially taken to Auchwitz-
Birkenau, the largest of the concentration
camps, where families were split up
according to who could work and who
could not. Those who could not work
were killed.

“We were lined up in front of the infa-
mous (Nazi war criminal) Joseph
Mengele. Thumb up, you live, thumb
down you go to the gas chamber,” Segore

said.

Later moved to Buchenwald, another
concentration camp, Segore met future
Nobel prize—winner Elie Wiesel and “saw
with my own eyes, brushes being manu-
factured out of human hair, lampshades
out of human skin. I saw it.”

Segore was later taken to the
Mauthausen death camp and finally to
Gunskirchen, a camp whose sole purpose
was to starve the Jews it contained. When
he was liberated at the end of the war he
said he was reduced to “40 pounds, skin
and bones, walking in a daze.”

The camp, located in the middle of the
woods, was found only because military
units were curious about a terrible stench
and followed it miles where they found
the camp’s 15,000 inmates, that being
considered a small camp in contrast to
others.

Segore said “a positive attitude” is his
explanation for his survival under such
dire circumstances. Whereas his brother,
a strong man many years older than
Segore died after becoming resigned to
death, Segore says he lived through the
camp and later a P.O.W. camp in the
Korean war because of his positive atti-
tude. During this time he said he felt “no
matter what the beating, the hunger, the

mistreatment, I must survive. I want to be
witness,”

As a witness Segore is most interested
in sharing his experiences in order to
retaliate against revisionists and hate
groups who may question or deny the
truth and validity of the Holocaust.

He said it’s equally important to him to
teach others, especially children, the
necessity to keep an open mind. “I con-

said Segore is “the very best rebuttal pos-

us.

-Even the indifference of nations during
the Holocaust and modern ignorance of
others does not dissuade Segore who
calls the United States the best country in
the world “even with all its faults.” But,
he added “Unfortunately it’s still happen-
ing, it’s an ongoing phenomenon. Look at
the Jews, at African-Americans,” he said
in regard to those who questioned the
existence of such attitudes today.

His mechanism for coping when faced
with such racial defiance is speaking out
in similar lectures in order to maintain
knowledge and acceptance of the atroci-
ties he witnessed. :

“The Holocaust was dormant for twen-
ty years, 1945-1965. In Jewish circles I
was told ‘Why don’t you forget about it?’
I feel better when I talk it out,” Segore
said “The others are wrong because they
are playing into the hands of the deniers.”

Nathaniel Mackey, a poet,
critic, and fiction writer, read
from his works in the Assembly
Hall Thursday evening. The
event was sponsored by the New
York State Writers Institute.

Like most fictional writers,
Mackey’s work is “a weave of
fact and fiction.” He wanted to
write “more of the particulars of
[life events] in a way that had
some spin and lift to it.”

The announcer began his for-
mal introduction of Mackey by
talking about music, jazz in par-
ticular. He said something hap-
pened between the late 40’s
through the ‘60s of which music
played a large role. “We still
have those songs that make the
gods dance...we still have writ-
ers like Nick Mackey to make it
happen.”

Mackey read from his most
recent novel, Dybot Baghostuss
Run, the second volume of an
ongoing prose composition,
“From a Broken Bottle Traces of
Perfume Still Emanate.”

“Tt has very much to do with
music,” said Mackey. The novel

is about a band called the Mystic
Horn Society basedinL.A.
The letters are addressed to

~ in search of a new drummer and

it decided that this drummer
should be a woman. The search
gets “inflected” by a series of
dreams. The men of the band
dream about a woman named
Janine who becomes their new

drummer while the women of.

the band dream the new drum-
mer’s name is Penny. In reality,
however, the new member of the
band becomes Janett.

The first piece Mackey read
dealt with Janett’s decision to
join the band. Penguin, a mem-
ber, falls in love with her and
writes a piece of music dedicat-
ed to her called “Janthology.”

Although the letters are about
the lives, thoughts, and their
“gigs,” the letters as a whole are
musically metaphorical in
nature. Metaphorical thoughts
are described in terms a musi-
cian would understand.

Mackey was born in Miami,
Florida in 1947. He moved to
California at the age of four.

Although he says that he has
written “bits and pieces” of liter-
ature before college, it wasn’t

until then that he began contem-

plating becoming a serious
writer.

The Albany Police Department Thursday said a
recent complaint filed against Capitaland taxi by
two SUNYA students is under investigation. The
company’s owner, however, said the case had
been dismissed.

Lisa Bimblich filed a complaint with APD just
before Spring Break against a Capitaland driver
whom she said made her feel threatened on her
ride home from the downtown bar area.

Bimblich said she and a friend had been to-din-
ner and called a cab to pick them up from the cor-
ner of Western Ave. and Quail St. She said there
were “two disgusting men” in the cab with the dri-
ver and “the car smelled like alcohol.”

Bimblich and her friend requested to be taken to
two different quads on the uptown campus. She
said the driver passed the entrance to Bimblich’s
quad and continued on while joking about taking
them to Troy.

Bimblich said the driver was using a “scare tac-
tic.” “I really felt that this was to get me alone in
the cab,” she said. “When we got to Freedom
Quad I did not stay in the cab.”

When Bimblich arrived home on Colonial
Quad, she called the dispatcher. “I was so upset,”
Bimblich said, “it really dawned on me what hap-
pened.”

“Capitaland hires disgusting people,” she said,

“and they were really sprang end when I tried
to alleviate the situation.”
Bimblich spoke to APD Oftics: Curt te

-|special services officer for the traffic division. She

said Rica spoke to the driver and after confessing
to his actions, the driver had been suae for
the weekend.

Bret Peek, the owner of Capitaland, said Officer
Rica had spoken to his driver about the complaint
and later called Peek. “The officer said this is an
unfounded story...your driver is fine,” Peek said.
“Whether the complaint has basis in fact or not I
don’t know...if it does, then I am very sorry.”

Rica said he never told Peek the story was
unfounded and the matter is still under investiga-
tion. The driver is scheduled to appear before the
APD Assistant Deputy Chief of Special
Operations.

As to the smell of alcohol in the cab, Peek said,
“We pick up 10,000 SUNY students every week-
end. Of course, it smelled like alcohol.”

Rica said Bimblich “got scared because she
thought they were going to pull something... it
sounds like they were just playing with her.”

Bimblich’s friend, Hope Winegard, said, “I
have the right to feel safe in a cab... I think that is
the most important.”

Bimblich said, “They [Capitaland] are really not
taking very much care into the people they are hir-
ing and it could really be dangerous.”

Rica said Capitaland is ranked number one in
the traffic division ratings for their drivers and
maintenance of their vehicles. But, complaints are
constantly filed for all the taxi companies in the
Albany area.

Bimblich said, “I want people to know that if
they ever have this problem they can call some-
one.” She said complainants should call the traffic
division at 458-5675.

March 7, 1967-

Central Council Thursday night gave its
approval to the report of the Committee to
Draft Campus Alcohol Policy and com-
mend the committee’s “thoroughness and
speed” in drafting the alcohol policy. Mr.
Neil C. Brown, chairman of the special
committee, reported that the committee
had not yet formulated a policy for use of
alcohol in students’ room or out—of—door
areas with in the residence quadrangles.-A
decision of these areas will be forthcom-
ing.

The committee recommended the serv-
ing of alcohol in the Student Center’s
Patroon Room, the second floor restau-
rant, and a rathskeller. Other areas of the
student center will be open to alcohol dur-
ing special events.

The use of certain areas of the resi-
dences for the serving of alcohol at spe-
cial events was also recommended by the
committee. The use of the dining areas,
lounges and recreation areas for such pur-
poses is subject to the approval of the
Director of Residences.

Alcohol will not be allowed in the aca-
demic areas. The committee “perceives no

Vincent Abramo asked Brown if the
students could bring their own alcohol to
these areas. The report states, “that the
ordering, purchasing, and serving of alco-
holic beverages will be done exclusively
by the agency within the University to
which the license is issued.”Brown said
that the committee reserves the right to

Activities,

The alcohol report must be approved by

No more military recruiters on SUNY « campuses

Military's policy against homosexuals violates an executive order. from Governor Cuomo

Editor’s note: Due to an Editor’s mis-
take a large portion of this story was
omitted in it’s original printing in the
March 18 issue. We have reprinted it in
it's entirety.

By KAREN STEIN
Senior Editor

Military recruitment will no longer be
allowed on 34 college campuses, includ-

ing SUNYA, in accordance with a State
Supreme Court decision.

By not appealing the decision, military
recruitment on these campuses has been
banned due to the Pentagon’s discrimina-
tory policies against homosexuals. _

Former SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce
Johnstone informed SUNY campus presi-

‘dents the decision will be abided by, in a

memo sent Feb. 25, SUNY Spokesman
Mike Reilly said.

The New York state Supreme Court
ruled Nov. 23, 1993, in favor of Buffalo
law student Terry Maya, a lesbian who
claimed she could not apply to the mili-
tary because of her sexual orientation and
barred military recruitment on SUNY’s
University at Buffalo campus.

Military recruiters at the law school
violated Governor Mario Cuomo’s 1988
executive order banning any organization
that discriminates on the basis of sexual

holocaust.

‘Students gather Thursday night to commemorate
the holocaust with a candle light vigil. The event
was one of many planned this week to remember the

orientation to operate on any
state facility, Justice Diane
Lebedeff said.

“The Governor’s executive
order is clear that no one
should discriminate,” Chuck
Porcari, spokesman for the
Governor, said.

The University had the same
policy but it upheld a State
Education law stating military
recruiters must be allowed on
campuses which superseded
this order, Reilly said.

“The Governor feels people
should be judged individually
for character, not by what
group they may or not be in,”
Porcari said.

“T am asking you to comply
with this decision,” Johnstone
wrote to the SUNY presidents
after the Board of Trustees
decided not to appeal the Doe
v. Rosa decision. “This. means
that all state operated campus-
es must prohibit use of their
facilities for military recruit-
ment.”

The decision does not affect
community colleges, ROTC,
receipt of military scholar-
ships, or research grants,
Johnstone said.

“T think it’s a great thing as
far as equity,” Student
Association’s Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual Issues Director
Allan Richards said. “Because
SUNY says in their policy
they don’t discriminate based
on gender, age, status, race,
religion and sexual orientation
and the military policy does
discriminate.”

“By the university saying one thing, but
allowing them to recruit, they are condon-
ing the behavior of the military in viola-
tion of SUNY policy,” Richards said.

SUNYA officials would not comment
on the ban.

“Because of their anti-gay sentiments,
until the military can recognize homosex-
uals as not being abnormal or antisocial, I
can’t see how they can openly recruit any-
one without a level of hypocrisy— that
they would advertise the military provides
an option or resources for anyone in this
country- because that doesn’t seem to be
the case,” Helene Gold, co—chair of the
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Alliance said.

“In the military, to believe that some-
one’s sexual orientation is a hindrance to
their performance, is absurd. This argu-
ment is unfounded and based on fear and
ignorance,” Gold said.

LGBA has not formally discussed mili-
tary recruitment on campus and does not
want to make any statements, Gold said.

Victor DeSantos, Career Development
Center director, would not comment on
the ban, but confirmed recruitment materi-
als have been removed from the career
Library.

This should have no effect on the ©
ROTC program with the exception of the
recruitment that takes place on the cam-
puses, according to Reilly who added he
did not expect the ban to affect anything
else right now.

The military would like to see the deci-
sion rethought and the legal offices are
looking into SUNY’s decision, according
to Associated Press reports.

Military recruitment offices in Albany,
were unavailable for further comment.

Cuomo believes this issue will go to.a
higher court, perhaps even the U.S.
Supreme court, Porcari said.

University plans to
prepare dorms for
new technology

By ASHISH PRABAKHAR
Editorial Assistant

As students return to the dormotories
next Fall they will find a great deal of
new technology installed on campus.

“We are putting in an infrastructure
that should last for 20 years, ” said pro-
ject coordinator Laurie Webster-—Saft,
who works in the office of the vice presi-
dent for finance and business.

According to a school press release, in
about five years, students will be able to
view old lectures on television.
“Eventually, they (students) will be able
to do a database search, sign onto the
mainframe through a high-speed con-
nection, or send “e-mail” around the
world—all from their rooms. And
two-way interactive video will one day
be possible because of the high-capacity
fiber optic cable being installed,” stated
the University Relations press release.

This multimilion dollar project is
plannned to position the University so
that it may take full advantage of future
technology. The new fiber optic infras-
tructure is supposed to enhance tele-
phone technology, as well as provide
video services and a = networking
system.

The system will make telephone
billing more efficient, since the
University plans to have phones installed
in each individual room.

The new infrastructure will also lay
out a basis for the connection of a
University planned electronic library.

“The first survey was conduct-
ed in 1987, by Andrew
Greenblatt, a former SUNY stu-
dent,” Zina Cary, project coordi-
nator of NYPIRG, said. “Back in
1987, cab companies were charg-
ing three times the amount. So as
a result of the first survey, major
awareness has been brought
about.”

DeSiano said he believes more
reform is needed. He said 16%
may not seem like a lot, but it is
16% who are being ripped off
and it should be zero percent.

The survey conducted this year

were asked how much they were
charged. Of the incidents sur-
veyed, 22 were overcharged,
DeSiano said. He also said there
was a significant amount of
undercharges.

DeSiano said the average price
overcharged and undercharged
was between 25 cents and two
dollars. Carey said some over-
charges are so ridiculous it bal-
ances the undercharges.

“One example of an over-
charge is when two students took
a cab from the Post to campus
and were charged $13 instead of
$6.25,” DeSiano said.

“Another reason cabbies over-
charge is because many people
don’t know how to read the zone
map,” DeSiano said. “We asked
20 students if they could read the
map. and only one person could
answer.” He said eight cabs out
of 24 didn’t even have a map
hanging up.

“Consumers should know their
rights,” DeSiano said. “A cabbie
cannot charge individually. The
fare is the base price plus a dol-
lar for each additional person.”

Cary reiterated NYPIRG’s
goal for reform. “We want the
City Common Council to imple-
ment legislation to regulate cab
companies because there is no
formal regulation,” she said.

by Professor Anne Case, from Princeton University.

Professor Case and her colleague Kristin F. Butcher have
discovered a strong connection between the sex of wom-
en's siblings and their educational choices. “They found
that women who were raised only with brothers received
on average significantly more education than women
raised with any sisters, controlling for household size,”
cited the University press release.

The lecture was based on a paper studying the influence
of siblings on the education of men and women born in the
United States between the years 1920 and 1965.

Case, who received her degree in 1980, was an under-
graduate economics major at SUN YA.

EDITORIAL
Be Responsible, Vote!!

’ On Wednesday, the Student Association will be
holding their spring elections. Many students on

this campus are probably wondering why this is |
important to them and why they should bother |

voting.
Each semester, included with your tuition bill, is.
a charge for $61, which goes to SA. That means
that each year, instead of students having an extra
$122 in their pockets, students give their money to

SA. The president is the head of the Executive |

| branch of the body which governs how this
money is allocated. Central Council, the
legislative branch “should” work with. the
president and other members of the executive to
make sure that groups are allocated the
appropriate funds for their programming and also
what they think should be done with students
money. Their total budget for this year was 1.6
million dollars. If you’re not sure why you should
vote yet, keep reading.

SA is almost entirely run by students. They fund
many of the various organizations for which you.
see posters on campus. This year many of the
groups which SA funds have been embroiled in
controversies about how much money they should
be receiving. They have also been arguing as to
whether or not some groups are bad for our
campus.

The president has been accused of many things,
from being on a power trip to being sexist. There
have been complaints about the Multi-Cultural
Affairs Director and many others, but students
remain clueless and apathetic about what’s going
on.

This year SA has been serving more as a battle
ground for racism, rather than an instrument for
enhancing campus life for all students. While
they were arguing which groups said or did what
to whom, the student’s needs were conveniently
dropped to the wayside. Courses are being cut,
departments are being reduced, housing areas are
being shutdown and the people who are
supposedly our representatives are fighting
amongst themselves instead of doing what they
were elected for, being voices for the students.

Last year, only about 10% of students voted in
SA elections. Do you want to have any say in
where your money goes, or is it $122 you didn’t
really need anyway? Students who don’t vote are
simply throwing their money away. It is easy to sit
in the dorms and complain that there is nothing to
do, but who’s fault is it?

Partially it is SA’s fault for getting so wrapped
up in petty bickering and issues which in the end
are really not going to affect the majority of
students. Some of them are there to make their
resumes look good and for their own personal
agendas instead of trying to represent the student
body. :

The blame cannot be placed solely on the
members of SA. If the student body remains silent

money is spent, then they give free reign for SA to

Voting isn’t complicated. Those students living

Thosé who live on Freedom or off campus can go
to the campus center to cast their votes. For those
who aren’t quite sure of what any of the
candidates stand for, there will be debates on

COLUMN.

In Defense of President Hahn

I am writing this column today as a President. I
am not writing as the President of the Jewish
Student Coalition (JSC), nor am I writing as a
concerned Jewish student. I feel that as a President
there is a certain understanding I have of the
President Hahn situation that those who have never
presided over a meeting lack. A good portion of the
reason that people have a problem with President

- Hahn is that they have never been a President.

Just a preface before I get into the purpose of this
column. Over the course of the last five years I have
served as President eight times for six different

Eric B. Stern

groups. I tell you this not to impress you with my
resume, but rather to prove that when it comes to
Presidency I know what I’m talking about. I also am
not for or against any individual person or group of
people.

This article is not part of a propaganda campaign,
it is merely an attempt to explain to non—Presidents,

' what a President does or needs to do.

When someone decides to run for President of any
organization they come in with a plan of action. For
some, that plan is merely to create a new line on Job
Applications; when they ask the ominous question,
“So, what else did you do at the University?” Those
people are all right.

They usually just take up office space for a year.
They let their executives do whatever they want and
count off the days to graduation. Nobody ever talks
about getting rid of them because they never do
anything. That usually produces a weak year for the
organization, but at least nobody is ever offended.
There are other people, however, who run for
President with a specific goal in mind. They have a
vision of what they want their organization to
become. They relay this message to the voters and if
the masses like it they vote this person into office.

It now becomes the President’s responsibility to
implement the plan that he/she had originally set
forth, It is that plan which the voters want and it is
that plan which they deserve.

The most important thing that a President has to
do in order to fulfill the promise is to get everybody
working for him/her to work towards that common
goal. Officers are highly useful when they have their
own ideas and come up with great innovations of
how the organization needs to be run.

A President, however, must not forget that he/she
is the President and he/she must mold those
executives into a cohesive unit. All of the most
brilliant, creative, and open—minded people in the
world are absolutely worthless if they cannot work
together. It is this point which non—Presidents are

incapable of understanding. I hope they read this

and try to understand it. A President must get all of

the energy from the executives and channel it

towards the common goal and it absolutely has to be
the goal which the President promised the voters.
For if it is not then what are elections for?

This is why so many people are having a problem
with President Hahn. They don’t understand what he
is trying or tried to do. At the Central Council
meeting at which they called for President Hahn’s
impeachment he was accused of being mean to his
executives who wouldn’t “play ball.” As a fellow
President I have to say, “Chris, good for you.” It
doesn’t matter what or who the executive is. What
matters is that a President has a job to do and he/she
must motivate those who work with him/her in any
way possible. It is not racism, it is Presidency. |

I don’t know enough about policy or the
grievances against President Hahn.to come out for
or against him. What I do know is that those who do
make that decision should try to separate between
breaking policy and being a President.

This is an important distinction because the end of
the school year is coming up. All of the S.A. funded
groups are about to have their own elections and so
is the S.A. itself. We cannot have a year filled with
Presidents who are afraid to open their mouths due
to the fear of impeachment.

To everyone running for any executive board
position, please be patient with your President.
Presidents only want what is best for the
organization. We can be arrogant and
closed—minded at times but we want to hear what
you have to say.

Offer your opinions to your President. Talk to
him/her. The best kind of executive board is one that
shares ideas and creates common goals. Don’t do to
your President what President Hahn’s cabinet is
doing to him. Talk, listen, and explain...don’t
impeach.

The writer is the President of the SUNY at Albany
Jewish Student Coalition.

Shalom, friends. I'm the trusty new ASPects associate
editor and back from Israel where I didn’t get shot or
stoned, rather my sole excitement derived from staying at
the Tel Aviv Holiday Inn with 50 members of WWF, I’ve
learned two things: UAS food is bad and Tori Amos is
good. Now I realize these are not typical learnings one
derives from the land of milk and honey, rather one could
learn them by eating in the cafeteria and bringing Kelly
Barclay (ASPects editor, my spiritual advisor, queen of all

that is morbid and groovy, and big Tori Amos fan) along. I

must say however, that once on El Al, flight 004, I realized
these facts to be true.

I’ll start with UAS. After three hours of my unbearable
flight, I sat waiting like a Turkish prisoner for my kosher
for Passover grub as Riva, the Yashiva girl from hell yelled
at me for suggesting that a couple living together before
marriage is not a sign of moral bankruptcy. Finally our
“food” came and mom and sisters Frann and Stacy opened
their aluminum lids to reveal a cube of dried chicken
covered in pseudo-tomato sauce, some sort of
unidentifiable potato product and cake(?). As they made
clever comments about the food’s general nastiness I
feasted, much to the surprise of family, friends, and even
strictly kosher Riva who “lives for plane food”-a sad
existence.

While my family cried out in disgust I wondered how it

- was that I was thoroughly satisfied and I assumed it was a

genetic mutation or personal deviation due to Riva’s
interrogation of me to find out “just what McDonald’s
tastes like.”

I tried to let it all pass once we got to Jerusalem but the
mystery didn’t cease. Each run down cafeteria we were
taken to (in order to maximize sightseeing time) offered
chicken in oil, half—cooked rice and matza. I left satisfied
but my family looked like my Rochester—bred friend Slade
did after watching the Bills lose in January. It occurred to
me the reason for these proceedings was the respective
environments to which we were accustomed. Mom and

Stacy eat Chu Jiang take-out nightly and Frann’s

boyfriend cooks for her like a whipped man should. I on
the other hand eat veggie chow mein, chop suey and
alleged veal cutlets all painstakingly prepared for
hundreds by that gestapo of food preparation, UAS. After
all, only a kid used to resorting to a grilled cheese for
lunch six days a week could be satisfied by such hate(ful)
cuisine. It may have all tasted like ass, but at least it
tasted.

Now, about Tori. I was never too big a fan of that piano
straddling waif but when my friends Jesse and Eric both
recommended her I figured I should give her a listen. You
see, Jesse is of the Social Distortion and Bad Religion
school whereas Eric is of the RuPaul and Techno
movement so when they both agreed on one singer I
listened, and yes, Tori is all that-as Kelly will tell you if
she’s not too busy fantasizing about little Billy Corgan. So,
on my way to the promised land, I packed a meager dozen
CDs including Tori, or so I thought. Once on my flight I
realized I hadn’t actually packed the CDs themselves, only
the discman wherein I had thankfully left Tori (Little
Earthquakes for those interested). It was nine hours of
“China,” “Crucify,” “Winter” etc., but I was okay.

Once in Israel I noticed CDs were 63 shekels ($21) and
was too offended to make any purchases so each day it
was “Precious Things,” “Happy Phantom,” and “Mother.”

As I met other people on my tour bus I found out seven
out of nine people mentioned Ms. Amos as a favorite and
it was then I realized that she is a universal language unto
herself, able to bring people and nations together. I’m
sending copies to Arafat and Rabin.

‘I’d like to say I left Israel totally confirmed in all that
Mrs. Davidoff taught me during my Hebrew School tenure
but while the Western Wall and Dead Sea were
informative as heck, it was really about more relevant
truths which I learned.

_ In 1989, Soundgarden electrified
the hard-rock world with the release
of Louder than Love. Combining slow,
grinding riffs into a psychedelic
wall-of-sound approach gave the
group an original style that would
culminate into the, now, legendary
“Seattle” sound.

Kevin Varley

They would further explore the
realms of grunge in the 1991 release
of Badmotorfinger (A&M) and along
with acts such as Nirvana, Alice in
Chains, and Pearl Jam, redefine the
musical tastes of America’s
mainstream. With a regular spot in
MTV rotation and a top billing on
Lollapolooza’s 1992 tour, Sound-
garden had firmly entrenched
themselves in the American modern
tock scene. Three years after the
commercial breakthrough of
Badmotorfinger, they return to the rock
scene with the anxiously anticipated
Superunknown, a mammoth collection
of talent, featuring over 70 minutes of
music.

The modern-rock scene has
changed drastically in the wake of

Soundgarden’s last release. Music
executives have rushed to fill the void

left by the group]
with a host of new |
bands emulating]
the “mythic” |
grunge sound of|
Soundgarden and |
other Seattle}
bands. Make no|
mistake, however, |
Soundgarden is
clearly a pioneer in|
music today; with
their latest release, 7%
they continue to}
forge an original
style in hard rock.
At the center of
the group’s creat-
ivity is vocalist/lead~songwriter
Chris Cornell. Possessing a
passionate, unyielding voice, Cornell
is also an extremely gifted songwriter.
Responsible for much of the music on
the Temple of Dog collaboration with
members of Pearl Jam, he found a
broad based appeal with bluesy
ballads and acoustic numbers
displaying his wide range of talent.
Cornell is at his best on
Superunknown with “Black Hole Sun”
and “The Day I Tried to Live.” The
former employs a_ Beatle-ish
progression and when Cornell sings

Soundgarden’s latest album, Superunknown

the _lyric

ithe hovering
presence of

seems. very
near. “The
Day I Tried to
Live” starts
off with a riff
reminiscent
of Nirvana’s
“In Bloom”
and explodes
into a pow-erful, yet melodic, chorus
that seems destined for radio airplay.

Cornell is ably backed by the other
members of Soundgarden on
Superunknown. Drummer Matt Cam-
eron contributes music on three songs
on the CD, but is most effective
anchoring the fat rhythm sound of
the band. Responsible for the odd
time-signatures that give the band its
evil grind, Cameron is the most
accomplished instrumentalist in the
band. Drummers won’t be disap-
pointed with his performance on the
CD. Bassist Ben Shepherd steps up
nicely in this, his second recording

Soundgarden has super-return

with the band. He wrote both “Head
Down” and the quirky “Half,”
contributing lead vocals on the latter.
“Head Down” calls to mind early
Pink Floyd and is perhaps the

‘album’s most interesting track.

Cornell’s emotional performance on
the cut gives Shepherd’s powerful
lyrics an extra edge: “We see you
laugh/we see you smile/we take that
away every day/We see you cry/we
turn your head/then we slap your
face... bow down to live your life/
head down, hide that smile.” Kim
Thayil, lead guitarist, also contributes
music to the effort while flying high
above the song structures with a
swirling, dissonant lead guitar that
adds to the trademark Soundgarden
style.

Fans of Badmotorfinger as well as
fans of Louder than Love and
Soundgarden’s earlier CDs won’t be
disappointed with Superunknown.
Tracks like the current single
“Spoonman” and “Fourth of July”
should give a quick “fix” to those
craving the sounds mapped out on
their previous releases. But on the
whole, Superunknown is more than a
quick fix. It is flawlessly produced
and ranks alongside of Louder than
Love as Soundgarden’s major
contribution to new music.

Morrissey’s new album, Vauxhall and |

Vauxhall And I
Sire Records

Morrisey’s latest album is a well
rounded piece of work. The lyrics
jare somber , but also slightly
uplifting. His vocals are well done
and the music complements them

earplugs by Glenn Teichman

instead of overpowering as on
previous albums.

He really shines on songs where
he does not rely on overdone new
wave music. The really good song
on this album are slower ones
where the music works with him
not in contrast to him.

The single “The More. You
Ignore Me, The Closer I Get” is a
decent tune but it’s the closest
you're going to get to a
commercial song though. Which is
good. Morrissey has put out a few
albums and has not resorted to
jumping on the MTV heavy
rotation list. But this album does
have that potential with its almost
Jamesish sounding song “Now
My Heart Is Full.”

Yes
Talk
Victory Music

As a big Yes fan, I was
quite anxious to pick up
their new album, well let
me tell you, it’s not that
good.

The line up on this
album is Jon Anderson,
Trevor Rabin, Chris
Squire, Tony Kaye, and
Alan White, the same
lineup from the 90125 and
Big Generator albums. This
album is much of the same
as those two, basically, Yes
does pop music.

The first hit “The
Calling” is an overdone
song and done before
song. The sad thing is it’s

one of the better tracks on
the disc. A couple of songs
make valiant attempts to
be good like “I Am
Waiting” and “Where Will
You Be.” “Where Will You
Be” is actually not bad
except I’ve heard it before.

Yes, to me, has always
experimented with their
music, longer songs which
change and shift through-
out. A few songs try this,
but their shifting is abrupt
and annoying. Perhaps I
am biased as this lineup of
the group is my least
favorite, but I think I have
a good reason, they’re the
least talented lineup.

On an up note, An

Evening of Yes Music Plus,

was recently released as
well. The double CD is a
live show of 1989 of
Anderson Bruford
Wakeman Howe doing
Yes and ABWH material.
For a few dollars more, it
is a much better disc. I can
actually listen to it.

Yes’ latest album, Talk

Richard Thompson Reflects on Mirror Blue

Does the public know what to do
with it’s introspective adult
singer—songwriters?

Jason Black

The answer to that question will
determine the success of the new
release from Richard Thompson,
leader of 60’s folk outfit Fairport

Convention, late 70’s/early 80's
folk-rock duo Richard and Linda
Thompson, and soloist of late.

The success of 1991’s Rumor and

Sigh once again demonstrated
Thompson’s tendency toward records
that attract critical praise and a small
but loyal following. On his newest
album Mirror Blue he has again tried
to write songs that reflect reality.

“Mingus Eyes” about the tendencies
of present generations to try adopting
characteristics of past heroes and
“For The Sake Of Mary” about a
couple going in dysfunctional cycles
prove he still has that ability.

Thompson uses producer Mitchell
Froom again .to achieve his
characteristically stripped down
sound and this time has added
unusual percussion (Egyptian
tambourines, Indian pow-wow
drums) in order to give authenticity
to the subjects about which he sings
(nightmares about lovers and
attempts at keeping his sanity),

Well aware that his albums don’t
sell millions, he keeps his sound
“small” trying to create songs that
will “have more charm to them.”
From a smaller sound though still

emanates guitar playing that is
critically regarded as top-rate for it’s
inventiveness and expressiveness and
utilized by artists like Bonnie Raitt,
Crowded House, and Robert Plant.

Richard Thompson

Mirror Blue keeps to Thompson’s
folk vision.by providing “abundant
melodies” and maintaining a sense of
humor, especially in songs like “Fast
Food” about the almighty Whopper.
However, he never hesitates to
incorporate rockabilly or even jazz
arrangements. In “Easy There, Steady
Now” added bass and a European
melody help to depict a character
“out of control.”

Playing The Egg at The Empire
State Plaza on Thursday Thompson is
sure to bring this well crafted sound
to a crowd of longtime adoring fans.
The only remaining question is will
they be buying the new album in
order to keep Thompson’s sales as

‘grand as his spirit.

4a Aspects

Picture the blond haired
vampire grabbing the New

People who have read Anne
| Rice’s vampire trilogy have
already visualized these scenes
while reading her amazing and

go to see the movie Interview
With A Vampire might not get that
chance.

The movie due to be released
in the near future will star Tom
Cruise as Lestat and Brad Pitt as
Louis. According to most
magazine interviews, Anne Rice
is less than happy about the
casting. However, the casting is
the least of my worries.

Supposedly the movie is going
to be heavily revised. The
(pardon the pun) bite is going to

provocative prose. People who.

| Vampire is going to suck

be rémoved from the story
leaving a Hollywoodized version
of the book. Does anyone
remember the recent Dracula
movie? Sucked, didn’t it? It
appears this movie might not be
much better. But then Hollywood

has long bastardized good works’

to make bad movies.

A great example of this would
be the Batman movies. Batman is
an excellent character, a
brooding, slightly obsessed
vigilante who saw his parents
die. Batman is driven, Michael
Keaton was driving me to sleep.
He was inexpressive and boring.
Yeah, Jack Nicholson was cool,
but when isn’t he?

And the upcoming Flintstones
movie, why are they bothering?
Must Hollywood destroy and
subvert all our childhood
memories? All I know is I hope
Dr. Sinister is in the movie or The
Great Gazoo, those were really
cool characters that those damn
Hollywood producers will just
forget about. Well, there’s always
The Witching Hour.

Gaiman Visits

with Angels

Neil Gaiman is a literary genius. Few
comic book writers can compare with the
imagination and imagery found in The
Sandman, or The Books of Magic, or the
various other series and miniseries he has
worked on.

Kelly Barclay

Now Gaiman has compiled a micellany
consisting of various pieces he has
worked on, from short stories, to poems,
to journalistic pieces. This new book is
called Angels and Visitations, and the
brilliance regularly encountered in his
comic books. is just as evident throughout
these pages.

One thing for certain, the man is sick.
For example, an exerpt from his poem
(written, as he-informs us in a small blurb
in the beginning of the book, for his
Christmas cards) entitled “Nicholas
Was...“: “Once every year they forced
him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless
Night. During the journey he would stand
near every child in the world, and leave
one of the dwarves’s invisible gifts by the

Neil Gaiman’s new book, Angels and Visitations
bedside.” “He,” of course, is Santa Claus,
and “they” refers to the little dwarf—like
creatures we commonly refer to as Santa’s
Elves.

Quite a jaded view of Christmas.

Other works in the book include one
about an old woman who buys the Holy
Grail at a junk store for 30 pence. Another
is a strange story of apparently
post-apocalyptic spider people. And
another concerns a man who has recently
contracted a very different kind of
venereal disease.

Angels and Visitations is an excellent
book by a most excellent writer. Read it.

New Marvel Titles: Clinging For Life Through Pases of The Past

In a time when the comic market is
flooded with titles, and the stories
that go along with them seem thinner
than the pages they’re printed on,
Marvel dares to keep up the trend
and... flood the market with more
books! But unlike the other
companies out there, Marvel ties in
these new. books in ways that seem

pertinent to other current titles.-Other-

companies (I’m not mentioning
names now) think that if they run
“cross-overs” long enouth, that
people will continue to buy their
cheap stories on expensive paper.
well...

Mike Failla

In March, Marvel began releasing
new titles. Among them were,
“FURY,” and “THE ADVENTURES
OF CYCLOPS AND THE PHOENIX”.
Here Marvel takes these stories and
seems to begin to fill in the gaps left
by writers such as Chris Claremont,
and give us information on current
heros such as the X-MEN and
Wolverine.

“FURY” happens to be about the
mysterious leader
of =< SHIELD”,
Nick Fury. In the
opening issue, we
see Nick Fury in
his early years
working with a
certain “Logan”
cha rast ter
affiliated with a
“Department H”
(Canadian
Intelligence
group). Well in
case you haven't
figured it out yet,
this is Wolverine
in... his: .. pre-
adamantium, pre-
weapon X and
pre-X-MEN days.
Maybe we'll get
to see how nasty
he was before the

a

the X’s.

In “THE ADVENTURES OF
CYCLOPS AND THE PHOENIX”, the
new title featuring (my man) Scott
Summers A.K.A “Cyclops”, and Jean
Grey, A.K.A. “Jean Grey” on what
seems to be their Honeymoon
Adventure. (I’m not very happy
about this.) The two get transported

into-the.future where Scott’s.san..

“Nathan Christopher” was taken, and
placed inside two alternates, devoid
of their mutant abilities. The two

meet up with another Summers”

(Rachel), who tells them of the
happenings around them, and their
importance to this future. The story
seems to reveal the origins of the
“Achilles” and “Hector” of the
Marvel world, Cable and Stryfe. The
art inside isn’t bad, and for once,
neither is the story.

These new titles aren’t exactly new
ideas and who knows if they’ll last.
They do give us some good insight,
even though they seem to draw from
past pages of X-FACTOR, some of the
ideas left to us in, Chris Claremont’s
“Days of Future Past”, and even the
pages of the X-MEN.

You know what really would be

nice? If the writers who first start
these sub plots, would actually
remain around long enough to
actually finish their stories, then
MAYBE we wouldn’t have so many
holes in stories, and MAYBE there
wouldn’t be so many unnecessary
new titles! Here's an example:

Gambit, was given his own title and
we were led to believe that his past
might possibly be revealed. To me, it
seemed more like a ploy to get more
people . to watch, “X-Men
Adventures” on Saturday mornings.
How cheap. Ah, the marketing aspect
of comic books.

Lent gets endorsement for SA President

The one thing the SUNY
Albany Student Association has
been starving for is the kind of
leadership that can not only alle-
viate the tensions existing
between groups on campus but
also encourage more student
involvement. Cliff Lent is just
the person who can accomplish
these types of goals.

With a year’s experience as
the SA Programming Director,
Lent has proven to have the lead-
ership and organizational skills it
takes to be an effective leader
and spokesperson for SA.

The Endorsement Board was
most impressed by Lent’s sincer-
ity in his devotion to bettering
the University in the long term.
It is encouraging to know there is
someone willing to put the future
of the campus before immediate
results.

In the long term, Lent aims to
“take the focus away as a
research institution to an under-
graduate institution.” He said SA
needs to “put pressure on the
administration to do what they
say in regards to long term plans
for academics.”

As Programming Director,
Lent has been at the forefront of

organizing such successful
events as Fallfest, featuring
Cracker and Black 47: and
Springfest ‘94 with A Tribe
Called Quest and De La Soul. He
also is responsible for moving
Party in the Park, now Parkfest,
back to the Albany area.

In addition to these many
accomplishments, Lent also has
shown his ability to be active in
the political side of SA with his
experience on Class Council ‘96,
Central Council, as Freedom
Quad Housing Manager and on
the U.A.S. Board of Directors.

Although this year we have
seen an SA President who has
been taking a position on many
different issues, Lent views the
position in a different light.

“T think it is important to be a
mediator,” Lent said, “and make
myself available to all parties.”
He said this year there were per-
sonalities which were polarized,
but he made a point of not being
polarized. We believe this is one
of the most important qualities to
look for in an SA President.

Of course, there are times
when an SA President must take
a stand on certain issues, and we
fear Lent may be hesitant to

abandon his objectivity. While
this objectivity is the quality the
Board found most appealing, we
hope he also recognizes the
occasional need for a President
to take a stand.

Communication between and
within the branches of SA is
something all the candidates
agreed needs to be improved
upon.

Lent said, “The intention was
there this year but it quickly
broke down.” He said the “power
struggle” between the Executive
and Legislative branches have
been part of this breakdown.

To alleviate this problem, Lent
believes one solution is docu-
mentation. “I believe in docu-
menting everything I do,” he
said. We see this as a first step in
the right direction.

He also believes strongly in, at
least, attempting to be the bridge
between troubled parties. “You

can’t force people to speak to

each other but you have to give
them the opportunity,” he said.
The Board views Lent as the
type of leader who would create
an environment where all those
involved would feel comfortable

Emily Kunze
Although Emily Kunze has
extensive leadership experience

the National Women’s Rights
Organizing Coalition and the
Revolutionary Worker’s League,
as endorsement board, we do not
feel she is the type of leader the
Student Association needs.

Kunze has very radical politi-
cal views and throughout the
interview it was apparent that
she would not be able to remain
as impartial as the SA president
at times needs to be.

Kunze’s views on the admin-
istration were the most startling
to the board. “I don’t want to
establish any type of relationship
with the administration,” Kunze
said. “I would be organizing the
students against the administra-
tion.”

Another problem we found
with Kunze’s desire for the posi-
tion is her attitude toward SA
policy. She has no regard for SA

through her involvement with

procedure and views policy as
something that oppresses student
power. “I would violate SA poli-
cy if it meant extending the
rights of the oppressed students
on this campus,” Kunze said.
Overall, we see Kunze as a
person with obvious strong lead-
ership skills and a passion for
perfection. We just doubt her
ideals are in the best interest of
the students of this community.

Robert Panico

While Robert Panico possesses some very
important grass roots organizing experience, his
lack of practical experience with SA makes him
fall short of our endorsement for SA president.

Panico said he supports the use of task forces tar-
geted at specific problems and open student meet-
ings to get students and SA members talking.
Panico said he believes SA should keep more of
the money in SA to improve on services for all stu-
dents, such as the media office.

SA funded groups would receive the rest of the
money. “They need to learn good business,”
Panico said.

Panico said he is a strong supporter of free
speech but the principles of a Just Community has
caused more division than it has helped. “I am
openly anti-political correctness” he said.

Panico falls short in the specifics. While his
ideas were well presented and general, he lacked
the specific knowledge to give us confidence in
them. When pressed in the area of the budget, he
gave the impression that he didn’t really know how
the process worked. This may be due to a lack of
real hands on experience which some of the other
hopefuls have.

Panico’s idea of keeping more money in SA and

LENT

with expressing their concerns,
without fear.

Two important issues Lent
intends on working very heavily
on is student involvement and
creating a name for the
University in the local communi-
ty.

He said the best place to start
with student involvement is at
orientation. He intends to form
what he calls a “link” program
where SA officers would keep in
touch with incoming freshmen
throughout the summer prior to
the school year.

“Word of mouth is the most
effective way of getting students
involved,” in addition to promo-
tions and advertising similar to

his work as Programming
Director, Lent said.

In order to expose ‘the
University to the local communi-
ty, Lent said SA needs a new
position that would be responsi-
ble for generating press releases
for the Media and Programming
offices.

Lent believes in what the
Board sees as a healthy relation-
ship between the Student
Association and the University
administration. He said he would
like the administration to be
involved mainly as advisors.

“If it is something that is so
serious, | am not opposed to
involving the administration... at
least for some dialogue,” Lent
said.

giving groups the rest could set the stage for more
controversy from groups already complaining
about lack of funds.

Panico said he believes SA officers should be
able to act more independently. We should “give a
lot of the officers, like the multi-cultural affairs
director, a lot more autonomy”, Panico said. There
have been some accusations of SA officials already
acting with too much autonomy this year.

Panico’s ideas sound good on the surface but we
believe they lack the substance and experience to
make change become a reality.

Norreida Reyes-Severson

Norreida Reyes—Severson stressed

several times throughout her interview
with endorsement board what she said
is a need for SA to start dealing with
problems at their roots.

Reyes-—Severson had well thought
out ideas as far as organization of SA
and especially the budget by offering
such ideas as an event checklist, more
involvement by the comptroller, and
more training on budget management.

She also talked about her experi-
ence in human relations and supervis-
ing, which is a valuable asset for SA
president, who is in charge of hiring
and coordinating the executive
branch. :

Her answer regarding past problems
that have arisen when groups actions
have been questioned seemed a bit
lacking in plausibility. Reyes
Severson said the “limelight” should
immediately be taken off the group in
question and “we immediately have to
look at another positive student
event.” The problem with that idea is
the “limelight” is generally not manip-
ulated by the SA president and there-
for the focus is not his or hers to
adjust.

Reyes—Severson explained the role
of SA to the administration is one of a
“watchdog” so as to ensure that the
needs of the students are being met.

She said the administration “shouldn’t
tell students how to spend their
money” which we feel is a valid point.

Although many of Reyes—Seversons
ideas are well thought out and her
dedication is evident, we feel her ten-
dency to focus on smaller, more

. humerous issues may be a handicap to

her as SA president. In reference to
how she would have handled many of
the problems which arose in the past,
such as the issue of groups following

‘policy, she seemed to have oversim-

plified solutions.

Jason Stern

Getting SA out to students and increasing
student involvement are. the main goals of

Presidential candidate Jason Stern.

SA communication with the student body
is important to Stern who said he feels the
information is currently not getting to stu-
dents. He says people don’t keep their office
hours and many Central Council representa-
tives fail to report to their constituents. If
elected he says he will hold a weekly forum
outside the campus center. “If you do it
every week, people will know what is going
on,” Stern said.

He has held several positions in SA in the
last three years including Vice-Chair of
Central Council, Supreme Court Justice and
Chair of Election Regulations Committee.
His time in these positions has exposed him
to the workings of SA. However, the board
feels Stern plays too much the politician at
times.

“I’m a big stickler for rules,” Stern said.
However, the board feels that what is some-
times best politically, might not’ be best for
the students.

But besides that point, Stern made a con-
vincing case of his qualifications for the job.

Internal communication was a concern of
Stern. He said officers must “put together a
game plan” and “do everything as a team.”

“People must speak to people,” Stern said,
“T will to the best of my ability meet with the
officers of SA.”

Generating excitement on campus is

important to Stern who cited the increased
spirit seen at athletic events as good for the
university. °

Stern had many good ideas such as having
the budget for the following year made by
both the current administration and the
incoming one. A regular race relations forum
was another idea the board approved of.
Stern said the forum would “help bring
down the level of danger.”

A greivance coordinator to deal with com-

plaints of students was another good idea.

Stern said- having someone to answer stu-
dents’ questions would be beneficial.

Stern’s push for communication in all
aspects on campus is an idea the board
agrees with, making him a candidate we
looked at closely. However, in the end, we
felt his political nature might distract from
his goals.

Ronn Torossian

Campus safety, education, and race relations are the
most important issues to Student Association presidential
candidate Ronn Torossian.

One of the ways he would promote safety is to run a 24
hour Don’t Walk Alone program in which all SA groups
would have to participate. Endorsement board questions
the practicality of this idea because it would be under-
used and yet extra funding would have to be diverted into
ihe program.

To help education, Torossian said he wanted a 24 hour
library and a limitation of the cutting of classes.

While these are good ideas, he did not say where he
would get the funds for these projects and how he would
convince the administration to enact them. “is

To improve race relations, Torossian said he would
bring in advisors to the president from each major ethnic

community.

He also said SA should not invite radical people on
campus to speak, instead it should invite more diverse
and moderate scholars and speakers. We wonder if past
programs he has organized as president of RZA are in
accordance with these ideas.

Torossian realized the importance of reaching out to all
students. He said he wanted to start endorsing SA during
freshman orientation. He added SA should go

door—to—door to get people involved and he wanted bet-

ter advertising of events. " :
When asked about the relationship between SA and the
administration, Torossian answered they should work
together as much as possible. SA should not bow to the
administration. “The agenda of SA is for the student...the
administration has a different agenda,” Torossian said.
Torossian believes if “SA can work together they can
accomplish pretty much anything.” However, he said

We feel Torossian had some good but impractical
ideas. In addition, he didn’t appear to have the firm grasp
on policy and procedure which a president needs. He
would be more qualified if he did not lack SA experi-

ence. Torossian also said he believes his passion and |

emotion is an asset. However, we believe he has a ten-
dency to get too emotional and if he needed to pull back
and look at a situation calmly he might have difficulty
doing so. :

James Williams

James Williams has many of the quali-
ties of a good Student Association presi-
dent: leadership experience, good ideas,
intelligence, proven interpersonal and
communication skills, and an even tem-
per. However, lack of SA experience and
lack of forethought in some areas prevent-
ed endorsement board from fully recom-
mending him.

We thought Williams had a grasp of
what is going on in SA and what it is
about. Williams said he would like to see
SA implement such programs as round-
table discussions, receptions, and open

and faculty should deal with problems
like student retention, class cancellations,
and the high cost of education at these
functions.

“The SA is supposed to be the middle
man between the students and the admin-
istration,” Williams said.

Within SA, Williams said he would
deal quickly with conflicts before they got
| out of hand. He stressed the importance of
communication and leaving personal
problems at the door.

Williams, who seemed to have an
understanding of how important a strong
SA is, said, “the President is a one. person
position but it is not a one ‘person job-you
need a very strong support group.”

As far as policy goes, Williams said he
believes the constitution needs to be
streamlined and put in plain English to
eliminate ambiguities. He said he would
also distribute a student handbook to the

| forums. He said he feels administration ~

constitution.

Williams said he believes problems
with groups should be handled quickly
and should be talked out—without shout-
ing—with the help of the president, vice
president, and an arbitrary observer. He
said he would also ask for student volun-
teers to act as liaisons with all SA groups.

One item he stressed was the expansion
of the media office and use of a SUNYA
television station on the new cable ready
campus to reach out to and inform stu-
dents. In addition, he said he would hire a
full time media director, which he feels
would better handle the office.

While he did have some good ideas,
some of his answers were somewhat
vague and we feel he was not prepared for
questions dealing with the Greek organi-
zations and the move to Division II, two
important issues for the campus.

they would have to put their

egos aside. He said he
would stand by his people \
and expect them to do the’ -
same. He said people push-

ing their own agendas do

not belong there.

File photo by Mike Femenella

Mike Yusko

Mike Yusko gave endorsement board a
number of well thought out ideas for com-
bating such problems as ambiguity of SA
policy and making sure directors have a
better understanding of their jobs.

He said solutions to these would be to
provide the implementation of the use of a
leader log for leaving records for future

presidents, and more hands on experience .

by overlapping administrations.

Yusko gave a very good interview and
there seemed to be few issues he hadn’t
thought out. We feel however, with our
observation of him at central council
meetings, a quick temper could be a seri-
ous problem dealing with the diverse
amount of interaction for SA presidents.

Yusko said although the promotion of

* SUNYA’s advancement to Division II for

sports is not the biggest problem facing
students, it is a beginning for the opening
of many doors for the future of the univer-
sity.

Yusko said he thought SA to be “pretty
diverse” and said it could become more
representational by becoming more popu-
lar on campus. He didn’t seem to have a
firm idea of how to make SA more popu-
lar, however.

He said the SA president and vice presi-
dent should not be a “hierarchy” but a
“partnership,” things being dealt with col-
lectively by SA as a whole.

Yusko gave examples of when he feels
the recall of a director is necessary, saying
the recall is the decision of the president
and vice president with communication

with the other officers. He said “problems -

can be avoided if they’re not drawn out.”

Perhaps what appears to be his tenden-
cy to take debate and discussion personal-
ly could be another inhibiting factor for
Yusko as a president.

down scaling of the university population, the
removal of courses and professors, the unspo-

GRAMMING GOALS FOR
NEXT YEAR?

To present the university as a “Just
Community” ignores its relationship to the
capitalist society within which it exists. The
administration of the university is the direct
representative of the American ruling class.

| other Columbian. My mother is Jewish and
| my father is an Italian Roman Catholic. This

I will lead by example and promote profes-

leaders. If dialogue breaks down to the point
that the actions of the individuals involved
threaten the common goals of SA then I will
strongly encourage mediation. If perfor-
mance of the individual is severely effected,
and all attempts at correcting the problem
have failed, then Central Council and SA
will be immediately informed.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO
TO REDUCE PERSONALI-
TY CONFLICTS WITHIN
SA?

Multiculturalism is a facade of liberal inte-
gration as applied to academia while racist
segregation— and inequality, violence against
women, and anti-gay bigotry run rampant in
our society. In order to create real justice and
equality, I would sponsor speakers and work-
shops that really heighten awareness con-
cerning these issues. I would promote mass
student organizing meetings and mass inte-
grated demonstrations to win real equality
for black, Latino and other minorities.

I believe I have already answered this ques-
tion in my responses to the other nine ques-
tions.

Besides a 24 hour Don’t Walk Alone
Program and a 24 hour library, I also plan on
having advisors to the president from each
major constituency. I will work to get extend-
ed hours for student use at the gym, and plan
on making the Campus Center the center of
campus life by getting a real entertainment
room. I want to make Fountain Day, and
Party In the Park huge events and want to
make this campus a fun, and enjoyable expe-
rience for the average 18-22 year old student.

| Next year programming will be the most
j important aspect of my administration. I plan
jto utilize the new RACC facilities by bring-
jing more well known groups to SUNY
Albany. The key to this obstacle is to incor-
porate more money into the budget for next
year. As chair of the budget committee I am
hoping to make this a reality.

The Principles of the Just Community are
designed to afford each student the opportu-
nity to speak her/his mind without interrup-
tion; so long as those rights do not interfere
with the same rights of others. Who would
not support this?

y interpretation is that everyone is treated
air and equal. Unfortunately, you cannot
egislate morality, only penalize people for
heir actions. The ideas of a Just Community
would be effective if, and only if, people left
heir previous prejudices, thoughts, etc. at
ome. I do support it but, it is a goal that we
are far from acheiving.

The way to reduce personality conflicts is to
appoint people, who are capable of working
ogether. I also plan on holding office hours
where every SA group, and leader will have
monthly meetings with the president and VP.

In order to reduce personality conflicts with-
in SA, I would hope to create an almost busi-
ness like atmosphere, generating efficiency. I
would like the president and vice president to
work as a mediating team to curb any con-
flicts before they are blown out of proportion
or context. This should keep business issues
and personal conflict where they belong.

Multiculturalism is the program to help edu-
cate people about other cultures, in order to
help them understand and respect each other.
This years multicultural efforts, as instituted
by the SA have been particularly ineffective.
The office of Multi-Cultural affairs should
not be a bone of contention between cultural
groups. In order to improve it, I will attempt
to appoint an officer who is either without
bias, or at the very least, will not act on their
biases.

| Multiculturalism is an undefined spinoff o
Black Studies. All non-European people are}
demanding that their accomplishments, |
achievements and contributions be taken out]
-of the backroom. All people have made a}
contribution to human progress. It is vain and
| silly to assume that one group has made all |
significant contributions to the world. I
would bring the beauty of Asian, African, |
Latino, and Native American culture to the]
forefront for all people to enjoy.

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

Elizabeth Ann Ball

Vice Presidential candidate, Elizabeth
Ann Ball, said she thinks SA should be
taking a more active role in improving
campus life in the upcoming year.

“In order to improve campus life...the
social and educational life should be
changed,” Ball said. “If people have a
place where they belong, they will feel
like a part of what is happening on cam-
pus.”

Ball said she would like to create a
division of SA solely devoted to fresh-
man. This division would “get people to
get involved early on in their academic
careers,” Ball said. She wants to create a
listing of all campus groups and phone
numbers to be given to freshmen.

With her experience as News Editor for
the Albany Student Press, Ball said she
has had the opportunity of hearing from
all sides of the controversial issues occur-

ring on campus this year. She said, “A lot
of the conflict originated within the
Student Association itself...it is impor-
tant that they perform on a very ethical
and professional level at all times.”

“Tt is important to approach the people
involved with sensitivity and objectivity,”
Ball said. “I make it my business to know
all sides of the story.”

Ball said she thinks it is important for
SA to begin working with the Athletic
Department and also incorporate the
Greek community into its programming.

Andrew Bloom

Streamlining SA policy and getting stu-
dents involved are two goals Andrew
Bloom, vice presidential candidate, has if
he is elected to office.

Bloom, who has experience as a mem-
ber of Central Council, worked in
Washington, D.C. at the White House last
semester. This semester he is studying
overseas. Through his work with govern-
ment, Bloom said he sees the need for pol-
icy to be reviewed and revised over time.
“The books of our policy are huge and
ugly...make it simpler.”

Bloom said every SA officer should

know policy backwards and forwards and.

possibly go through an education seminar.
Bloom said he feels SA must make
more of an effort to get students involved.
Bloom mentioned voting procedures as
being one problem citing the need for a
tax sticker. “We are not encouraging
involvement, that’s the problem.”

Having students form new groups when
there are none is another way to maintain
interest Bloom said.

Stopping waste in SA was also a con-
cern of Bloom’s. “There are obscene
amounts of waste in SA. We have to start
getting control over that spending,” he.
said.

Bloom said he believed in freedom of
speech, but that there was a certain
responsibility in limiting offensive and
hateful speech.

Brian Donovan

Vice Presidential candidate Brian
Donovan believes some of the problems
which Albany students face can be solved
by improving social life on campus. He
said with a good social life “everything
falls into place.”

During the interview, Donovan com-
mented students go to college not just for
academics, but also for a social life. As an
example, he cited a Playboy magazine
poll which said Dartmouth is one of the
best party schools in the country and has
good academics.

Donovan said if SA builds more on
social life, enrollment will increase. He
said with more enrollment comes money
to get more classes. He said he believed
this would conquer such problems as stu-
dent retention and class cancellations.

When asked about racial tensions
Donovan said, “Racial tension is caused
because there is nothing better to do.”

One of the most important responsibili-
ties of vice president is the running of the
elections. He said SA should use the vax
system for voting. Also, he said ballots
should be better monitored to prevent bal-
lot stuffing. .

Donovan said SA and administration
should work closely with SA members
should being invited to administration
functions.

Some of Donovan’s other better ideas
included telling freshman about SA and

Neil Freilich
Vice—Presidential hopeful Neil Freilich

said he has three major goals if elected:
unifying the students, reaching the real
needs of students, and encouraging open
debate in hopes of eliminating political
correctness on campus.

He said the campus is presently divided
into well defined groups and he would
work to unify them because “all students
should be reached out to.” Providing stu-
dents with increased services such as a 24
hour library, extended gym hours and
addressing the parking problem are also
important to Freilich. He said expanded
hours in the library and gym would also
provide more jobs for students.

Freilich said he realized the need for
capable people around him because “no
one person can get things done.” He said
he would appoint a staff of people to work
with him and would work with adminis-
tration to carry out his goals.

Freilich said he would like to have a
good working relationship with the S.A.
president because they are the choice of
the people and “their positions should be
respected.”

When asked about multiculturalism,
Freilich said it should be a learning expe-
rience. He said cultural holidays and
events should be an occasion for all stu-
dents to learn about that culture.

Tsvi Gold

Tsvi Gold, recognizing infighting as
Student Associations biggest failure this
year, said he would mediate between the
officers and president if elected vice-pres-
ident.

The SA offices, whose directors are
appointed by the SA president, Gold said
should be run by directors with communi-
cation to the SA president and vice-presi-
dent who run the executive branch.

Gold said he would “do nothing” to
reduce personality conflicts. Gold said the
conflicts are inevitable and the SA offi-
cers need to be open to everyone’s ideas.

Gold said SA’s relationship to the
administration should be as a unified
voice in support and representation of the
students.

As for the question of ambiguity in cur-
rent SA policy, Gold said “things need to
be radically amended,” but never expand-

ed with any idea’s for changing it.

Gold said minor decisions the SA presi-
dent should discuss with the SA vice-
president, while major ones should be dis-
cussed among all officers.

Gold’s also had an idea for an inter-
group council for SA funded groups,
which he said would be similar in practice
to the Pan Hellenic council for the Greek
sororities and Inter Fraternity Council. A
SA council could help foster communica-
tion and cooperation between groups for
their events. —

Allan Richards

Allan Richards ’ platform for SA vice.

president is to offer students and student
groups more from their governing body.
“We need strong, diverse SA groups to
keep students involved,” Richards said.
He said executives should be making life

easy for groups. SA should also be offer-

ing services to student groups, Richards
said. “Student groups should have access
to the media office.”

Richards, the director of Lesbian Gay
Bisexual Issues of SA, said the association
must work toward a common goal, reten-
tion of students. He said he would be

‘| accessible to every member of the university.

Richards said he would be an active

observer and would want to have weekly ~

staff meetings. Another idea Richards dis-
cussed was a campus roundtable where
students could get involved.

While Richards felt reaching out to stu-

dents was most important, he said SA
must look into its;own problems. He said
to avoid budget problems, books need to
be audited and groups should meet with
the comptroller.

As far as problems between SA mem-
bers, he said he would “treat them with
respect and stay out of their way when
they’re doing a good job.”

Richards felt the school needed to move}
forward and expressed interest in the
move in athletics. He said innovation was
needed such as computerized voting .

_ Maylyn Thomas

Maylyn Thomas, the Student
Association Internal Affairs Director, is
running for S.A. Vice President.

When asked why she is running,
Thomas said she wants to “make a differ-
ence and create change.” “This year it’s
time to step up and take on the chal-
lenge,” she said.

Concerning student representation
Thomas said there wasn’t enough repre-
sentation in the SA for Asians, the dis-
abled, and in LGBI. In order for more
student representation Thomas says the
SA needs to start at freshman level.

Commenting on the cohesiveness of the
SA, Thomas said the staff needs to get
together and respect each other regardless
of what one’s feelings might be.

Thomas says the Student Voice along
with workshops can be used to better
inform the student population. We have to

let the, “Quad Board know what the S.A.

is doing.” She said the relationship of the
SA and the residential staff needs to be
stronger.

In choosing a Multicultural Affairs
Director Thomas recommends the person
be openminded, understanding, and have
appreciate other culture.

Thomas said she sees the Just
Community as a code of ethics which
curb things such as hate speech. “We
should have the right to express anything
we want, you can say whatever you want
as long as no one gets hurt,” she said.

Jason Wilkie

Student enpowerment is the main goal
of vice presidential candidate Jason
Wilkie.

Wilkie said the Student Association is
not representational of the student body,
especially the black, Latino, and gay and
lesbian students. He said he would set up
open mass meetings to rectify the situa-
tion. “This is something so the. decision
making wasn’t just happening on the third
floor of the Campus Center once a week,”
Wilkie said.

Wilkie said he was not familiar with SA
policy and he would need to look into it
more. However, he did say he would
change some things such as getting rid of
the bureaucracy, making it easier to recall
officers, and making Central Council

more powerful than the executive branch

because it is more representational of the
student body.

In dealing with the budget, Wilkie said
“the problem is with the size of the bud-
get.”

Wilkie said antagonism is natural
between SA and the administration
because they have different interests. SA
serves the students and they are here for
an education. The administration sees the
university as a business. He said the stu-
dents have to fight for what they want.

He said a number of fraternities were
involved in sexual harassment and wanted
independent student investigations into them.

he beer hall was
alive with the sounds

- of merriment and in-
toxication as the cheerful

orb set in the west. We were

in Munich, Germany for the
Oktoberfest and our spirits were
soaring as high as our blood alcohol
level.

As we stumbled around the
mammoth beer hall we encountered
a slight communication problem.
~Jhere was nobody who spoke
English. Slightly flustered, we sat at
a table with six other people. We
recognized their native tongue as
Italian, and we tried to hold a
conversation. It was futile as we
stared blankly at each other until
my friend uttered the word that
broke the iced. Soon we were
standing on the table clanging beer
mugs and embracing each other. In
a united chorus we began to sing
the word repeatedly again and
again to the tune of an Italian
football cheer.

The word I am writing of is
vagina. As we joyously sang vagina
over and over again, I came to
realize the true greatness of the
word. I first began to take notice of
the enormous popularity of vagina
when the movie Kindergarten Cop

FOURTH ANNUAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS FAIR

by jonathan m. boltax

came out in 1991. Nobody can deny
laughing when the cute child
uttered to Arnold Schwarzenegger,
“Boys have a penis and girls have a
vagina.” In fact, this line was one of
the main reasons why the movie
reached such blockbuster status.

Most words that have to do with
one’s private parts are considered
taboo in society. Growing up with
the name Richard or Gina is almost
sure to bring about teasing by
fellow classmates. Cat calls of Dick
and VaGina are almost inevitable.
As one grows older the teasing
doesn’t end. In fact, any words that
are even close to these will usually
invoke laughter. The guards at the
world famous Tower of London are
elaborately dressed in stunning red
uniforms. Inscribed in their regalia
are ER II. During the tour they state
that this stands for Elizabeth Regina
the Second. As this bit of interesting
information was relayed to us,
behind me I heard an English bloke
chuckle and whisper, “Elizabeth
Vagina the Second.” A smile
appeared on everyone’s face that
heard this very remark.

I will continue to add an
international flavor to this piece as
we now go to the very “kind” city
of Amsterdam. Notably dazed by
the beauty of the city and its lovely
cafes, we met three very cordial and

thank

courteous Australian women. Our
conversation was run of the mill
until we began to discuss the slang
used in each of our respective
English languages. They say they
have to go “fluff and fold” when
they have to go to the bathroom.
This brought a slight chortle.
However, when they stated that
they use the word “vajootza” for
vagina, laughter boomed from the
six of us. Not only did their use of
vagina break the ice, but I learned
another very pleasing and catchy
word. As fate would have it, it was
a synonym for vagina,vajootza.
This led to three days of merriment
between us in the wonderful city of
Amsterdam, and I have vagina to
for the everlasting
international friendship we formed.

Vagina disguises itself in many
ways. The Red Hot Chili Peppers
sing, “...love to smell her/ sopping
wet her pink umbrella.” Although
less metaphorically and a lot cruder,
Jim Morrison describes the vagina
in “An American Prayer.” He states,
“her cunt gripped me like a warm
friendly glove.” Although these
uses do not evoke laughter, they are
both part of the lyrics of two genius
poems/songs.

At a recent party I was involved
in a fairly meaningless con-
versation. However, it became quite

April 8, 1994

intriguing when we discussed
words that we enjoyed saying. My
input was the word Lillehammer,
for I truly get joy as this word rolls
off my tongue. A small circle of
people formed and everyone was
adding to the list. Tissue, Galooli,
and sassafrass were among the
many. Then the ringer came as
everyone ass agreed that this word
was indeed a pleasant and lovely
sounding word. Need I state it, for
it should now be a given. When
somebody exclaimed that they love
the word vagina, it brought a
rousing cheer and everybody
wholeheartedly agreed that they
too loved this word :
During these cold, snow infested,
and at times depressing days at
SUNY Albany I find myself tired of
my tedious daily rituals and
searching for something to do. If I
would see an article entitled
“Vagina,” I would certainly indulge
myself and probably be grateful
that I had an opportunity to pass
the time with a piece of literature.
So the only intention of this article
is to help conquer the contagious
Albany doldrums, and maybe even
ignite some flames in the
backburners in the minds of the
readers. However, I still truly
believe in the non—hormonal
wonders of this word. Vagina!

SIRENS SETS SENSUAL FIRES

HOT AS ELLE

the hands of the three women.

The acting is splendid. Grant is adorable as the
rather dorky, if well meaning minister. In lesser
hands, the Reverend would have seemed |
stereotypical and invoked no emotion from the
audience members, but Grant is able to make him
appear lovable, and maybe not as oblivious as we
think.

Fitzgerald is excellent as the prudish wife
struggling with the classically Freudian id/ego
conflict. Her facial expressions alone make one see
her crumbling inhibitions and heightened
awareness of her own sexuality.

MacPherson plays Sheela surprisingly well as the
temptress who delights in initiating other’s sexual
experiences and watching the consequences; a
delighted voyeur. Fischer and De Rossi are also
more than capable completing the trio of Sirens,
both literally (as they pose for Lindsay’s latest
creation) and figuratively. Neill makes the most of
his role as the controversial painter, combining
smug knowledge of the trials of his guests, with
congeniality and a strange benevolence.

Director John Duigan virtually inundates the
movie with imagery from the Garden of Eden.
There’s a snake slithering through Lindsay’s
garden whenever Estella is about to be tempted.
Sheela succulently devours apples with glee. And
the garden itself just begs for loss of innocence.
Although these images initially add to the mood of
the film, toward the end one wants to scream, “We
get the point!”

All in all, Sirens is an impressive movie and, if
you are not easily offended by overt sexuality,
more than worth seeing.

Don’t go see the new film Sirens with your mom b I an S ell i n

or dad. And especially leave Grandma home. y Pp -
(CPS) Elle Macpherson, the stunning model who
has graced several Sports Illustrated swimsuit
issues, was used to turning down the many film
offers that came her way. —

Sure, she played herself in an amusing cameo in
Woody Allen’s Alice in 1990, but Macpherson
hadn't yet acted, and she wasn’t sure she could,
should or even wanted to. |

Then, about a year and a half ago, her manager
received a film script called from John
Duigan, the writer-director behind such terrific
Australian productions as The Year My Voice Broke
and Flirting.

Duigan wanted Macpherson to play Sheela, a
model for a controversial artist, but Macpherson
ignored him. Her manager explained Duigan was
a well-respected filmmaker and that it would be
rude to not even read his script.

More than a year later, Macpherson faces the
media at a Manhattan hotel. And, sure enough,
now in release from

Kelly Barclay

The movie veritably drips with sexuality. From
the dry love-making of a British couple (recalling
that Monty Python skit from The Meaning of Life), to
masturbation, to implied cunnilingus, to mild
lesbian activity, and all of it almost infuriatingly
tastefully and subtly done, Sirens could be called
soft porn for chicks.

Being a chick myself, I have only one beef with
the erotic aspects of this film: although one sees
every female character over the age of eighteen in
the buff, only the mostly blind, boxer-
turned—handyman, is shot in full frontal nudity.
And although it may have been a beautiful sight, it
means that Hugh Grant was completely clothed
throughout the duration (sigh).

Grant plays Rev. Anthony Campion who has
been assigned to a ministry in Australia. Along the
way, he and his wife Estella (Tara Fitzgerald) are
asked by the upper echelons to make a pit stop at
the home of Norman Lindsay (Sam Neill). Lindsay
is a painter, whose sensual works have in the past
been uneasily tolerated by the church. But his latest
contribution to an art show, called The Crucified
Venus, depicting a naked Venus on the cross, has
been labeled blasphemous and it is Campion’s job
to convince him to withdraw the piece.

Upon arrival, the couple find the entire
household out, and fall asleep in the Eden—esque
garden surrounding the house. They wake to
Lindsay, his wife, two daughters, and three
beautiful models, Sheela (Elle MacPherson), Prue
(Kate Fischer), and Giddy (Portia De Rossi). a

with Norman Lindsay's books, (like) The Magic
Pudding... 1 went for a screen test and didn’t have
time to think of all the reasons why | shouldn’t do
it. The next thing I knew I was off doing it.”

Macpherson, who splits her time between
Manhattan, Australia and London, reports having
enjoyed her three months making Sirens. After all,
she didn’t have any of the responsibility that
accompanies most of her modeling and other
projects. The cast and crew made her comfortable,

film is like, “So, what’s your problem?’ Also, I’m

different sections. When we filmed it we had a

ASP VIEWPOINT

To the readers and any Soc. professors that may read
this: This is kind of a joke, and kind of not. Use your
own discretion. Apologies to Madonna fans.

Any sociologist who is interested in music has
probably done some research in our library, to find there
are multiple texts of the significance of Madonna in
music, in the arts, in gender roles and in the media.
Madonna is still active, but recently not the force she
once was — I think it would be safe to classify the social

Noah Wildman

significance of Madonna as an 80’s phenomenon. A new
musical figure has become the symbol of the
sociological significance in music for the 90’s: Beavis &
Butthead. Like Madonna, B&B are using the medium of
the video to get across. specific messages. Beavis and
Butthead take a step further into identifying with their
audience — Madonna displayed a sharp image of a sister
doin’ it for herself, her own way. B&B display the plain,
the ordinary, the base qualities of its audience — not a
role model to emulate, but a mirror to laugh at. By being

a peanut—gallery watching the same video’s as the
audience, the television experience becomes
‘post-modern’ in that this is truly interactive TV (the
same concept is also in effect on the highly successful
program, Mystery Science Theater 3000)

Who are Beavis & Butthead? Two prepubescent,
white, suburban, undereducated males with absentee
parents and a TV to take as a)entertainment, b)source of
most information, c)substitute parent and d) a means of
identifying the self. By labeling certain video’s as
‘sucks’ or ‘cool’, B&B define who they are — metal fans,
first and foremost and what they like— heavy music.
Madonna never delivered a package of goods so clearly
and well-formed as B&B do. Madonna dealed a
message of empowerment to young women. Beavis &
Butthead deal a message of cultural nihilism to
disgruntled male kids. Who watches Beavis and
Butthead? I have no stats on this topic, but I’d propose
that the shows appeal is largely for the younger male set
— below 21, especially the pre—pubescent’s that B&B
mimic. In so-called ‘Generation X’’s population,
supposedly Beavis and Butthead’s characteristics are
common — media savy and suspicious of what is

presented . The appeal of the show is B&B’s anti-social,
anti—educational, anti-relationship and pro-fire (until
recently) commentary. Does one identify with this? Does
one laugh at this? Both?

Some people would like you to think that Beavis and
Butthead made their children kill and burn down houses
because B&B are role models. If you look at these cases,
a pattern emerges — parental absenteeism, alcoholism,
TV as closest friend for the kids. If a child were to
emulate B&B as something ‘cool’ rather than the
self—reflective clowns they are, then the child was stupid
to begin with, and it could have been anything that could
have triggered destructive behavior. And to prove the
small—mindedness and the unsuitability as guardians of
these parents, they actually proposed to ban the show,
deflecting all blame from themselves (But that’s more
opinion than any kind of sociological commentary!)
Madonna and B&B are taken too seriously as a ‘threat’,
and then again they are not taken seriously enough as a
pop-culture force that defines and explains society.
What anti-B&B crusaders don’t think about is cause and
effect — has Beavis and Butthead created societal strife,
or has societal strife created Beavis & Butthead?

LETTERS TO THE BIDITOR

help a family with real challenges,

Republicans
Not Mainstream

To the Editor:

Many of you have read the article
entitled “College Republicans Want
You.” In that article, two members of the
organization declared that their party’s
views were “parallel with that of
mainstream America.” Before accepting
this we should examine their views a bit
more carefully.

One view of the “mainstream”
Republicans might be their support of the
“gag rule,” supported by Presidents
Reagan and Bush. Under this policy, a

doctor would face fines and imprisonment

just for discussing abortion with a woman
patient. Of course, the “gag rule” is an
extension of their opposition to a
woman’s right to choose what to do with

her body. Over 70% of Americans

support this right.

More examples of the Republicans’
“mainstream” views were declared at
their most recent National Convention. At
the Convention, speaker after speaker
rose to speak of the views of the
Republican party. One speaker, Pat
Buchanan, suggested that we build an
enormous fence along the borders of the
United States to keep people out of our
country. :

Other speakers, such as Dan Quayle
and the Reverend Pat Robertson,
characterized single mothers. as
irresponsible (approximately 50% of
college students come from divorced
families.) They, like the College
Republicans, also spoke of the
Republican Party as the only party of
“traditional family values.”

Unfortunately for them, not only do the
Republicans seem out of step with
mainstream America, they also are out of
step with their most prominent leaders.
Senator William Cohen, Republican of
Maine, has said that members of his party
in the mainstream are “frustrated.” And
after hearing the barrage of rhetoric from
his party, Senator Warren Rudman
commented, “If they think that’s where
the people are...they’re in for one hell of
a shock.”

The College Republicans are even out.

of touch with their most prominent leader
in New York State, Al D’Amato. When
asked about the same views held by the
College Republicans, Senator D’ Amato
responded, “I don’t think any party has a
comer on family values, and I don’t think
any party should’ claim that it has one.”
He went on to say, “What we really

~ should do is talk about programs that will

whether it is a traditional family or a
single parent family.”

Governor Cuomo has provided us with
many such programs. The
nationally—recognized Child Assistance
Program (CAP) is one example. CAP
emphasizes the need for both parents to
support their children by combining child
support and supplemental public
assistance benefits with employment
earnings.

This program allows mothers to get
jobs enabling them to build a real future
for their families.

There have been many tough times for
New Yorkers, especially during the last
recession. Many difficult decisions had to
be made, and Governor Cuomo made

‘them.

As the College Republicans have told

you, SUNY has suffered considerably

these events or working on these
campaigns, join us at our weekly
meetings on Mondays in BA 211 at 8:00.

Hahn Silences
Women

To the Editor:

In response to the recent articles and
issues regarding the derecognition of
NWROC, as a woman, I feel angry and
scared.

The allegations made.by Sarah Warden
were expressed through her forum, which
is NWROC. Christopher Hahn, along

“Christopher Hahn, along with 15 members of
Central Council, has taken away this women’s
forum of support and representation.”

over the past few years.

But during all these hardships we have
faced, the governor has kept tuition lower
than almost every other state university
system in the United States.

During those tough times, the governor
has funded state financial aid at higher
levels than the next three states combined.
Thankfully, New York is emerging from

the recession and in the governor’s latest —

budget, SUNY has received a 5%. increase
in funding. As we begin the latest chapter
in the history of New York State, we have
many things to be proud of and many
things to look forward to. During the last
15 years, New York’s per capita income
has risen faster than most other states in
the country.

Since 1982, we have netted 500,000
jobs despite the worst recession-in
memory. In the last few months,
unemployment has begun to drop. Job
growth has been led by financial and
service jobs. With the strong leadership of
Governor Cuomo, we have weathered the
bad times. Now, as we begin to look
forward, we need more leadership than
ever.

In conclusion, this year promises to be
an exiting one politically. The Democratic
party has a superb slate of candidates
campaigning for election. The University
Democrats have a number of events
planned for 1994.

If you are interested in naciiicntins in

—Michelle Cartucci

with 15 members of Central Council, has
taken away this women’s forum of
support and representation. I would like to
ask Mr. Hahn what route he would
suggest Sarah take regarding this issue.
Since 95% of women victims on college
campuses across the country do not speak
out about their attacks, why is it that
anyone in the remaining 5% are bashed?
Women are among many silent voices,
and power is the key to change.

If you take away the power of those
who want change, you are essentially
agreeing with the present power structure
in this country. These actions by Hahn go
much further than the SUNYA campus. It
is a reflection of the racist, sexist, and
anti-gay society in which we all live. It is
time we all work together to end the
bigotry that exists all around us. Hahn is
obviously unwilling to do so, but he is
also a small player in a much larger
spectrum.

Today is the day to address sexism,
racism, and anti-gay attacks and
discrimination. Elect those who will
represent all students fairly and unbiased.

. It must be done today because “we are all

tomorrow’ past.”

Blatant
Ignorance

To the Editor:

In response to Lauren Herbert’s recent
accusation that Tau Epsilon Phi’s “Greeks
Take It Off” was a pure example of
sexual discrimination, I have nothing but
a brief reply.

“Greek’s Take It Off” is one of the
school’s largest fundraising events which
is held once a year and has been for the
past five years. In the past, Tau Epsilon
Phi attempted to have sororities
participate in the event but were
unsuccessful in their pursuit. Once again,
this year every sorority was contacted and
a total of four agreed to participate.

Lauren Herbert’s claim that the prize
money granted to sororities was half of
that to fraternities was accurate but what
she failed to realize was that fraternities
each paid the amount of $30 to participate
and sororities paid nothing.

The $30 contestant fee is what made up
the prize money. The total amount of
prizes to sororities, $150 and a tanning
package (not a mall certificate, Miss
Herbert) came directly out of Tau Epsilon
Phi’s pockets.

Tau Epsilon Phi understands Lauren
Herbert’s position in this but her
accusations were false and she must
realize that ignorance is not an excuse for
a false statement.

In the future it might be wise for
Lauren Herbert to contact the organizers
of the event and find out the facts before
she makes slanderous remarks which may
be damaging to an organizations’
reputation as well as the Inter—Fraternity
Council with her accusation of “sexist
frats.”

So as far as bowing our heads in shame,
Tau Epsilon Phi and all other Greek
organizations shall keep our heads high
knowing that we did nothing wrong.

Harvard students raise money for relief to Bosnia

(CPS) The rising death toll in Bosnia-
Herzegovina has propelled a group of
Harvard University undergraduates to try
to raise $50,000 for a relief truck, a driver
and 20 tons of food.

About 80 students planned to visit
every house and first-year dormitory to
deliver literature and collect donations
for the truck, which would transport food
and medicine to Sarajevo and possibly
carry out refugees.

“We’ve got people canvassing every
room on campus,” said Martin Lebwohl,
a sophomore and one of the organizers.

The group hopes to solicit donations of
at least $10 each and to raise awareness
about the plight of Bosnian civilians,
thousands of whom have been killed,
raped, and tortured over the past two

years in a campaign of “ethnic cleans-
ing.”

“We’re not a political organization,”

-explained Marc Kuchner, a senior, “Our
message is, “We care.’ We hope to spark
other efforts that bring Bosnia to the fore-
front of people’s minds.”

A benefit concert was held March 4 at
Boston University’s Morse Auditorium.
Several Harvard students helped arrange
the concert of Turkish, Slavic, American,
Peruvian, and other ethnic music.

Junior Alberto Simpser, who has been
active on many fronts, is also forming an
organization to work on political issues
regarding the civil war in the former
Yugoslavia. “We have a responsibility to

make sure our leaders know what our -

opinions are,” Simpser said.

APARTMENT FOR RENT

If you’re looking to avoid renting a small run—down and grungy apartment from
an unresponsive and nasty landlord, then look no further. I am a responsible
landlord with a large and beautiful 3 bedroom flat for rent. The flat is in
excellent condition and odds are that it will be the nicest flat that you will see in
your hunt for an apartment. It has newly sanded hard wood floors, modern
kitchen appliances, and an updated bathroom. It is also right on the bus—line and

right around the corner from a laundromat.

Islander fans are sweating to make the
playoffs while Rangers fans are cringing
for the fact that their first round playoff

,| match could inevitably be against the

Islanders.

With the playoffs just around the corner,
the only playoff spots up for grabs lie in
the Eastern Conference.

Four teams are fighting for the final sev-
enth and eighth slots. The Washington
Capitals lead the field with 82 points. After
which ensues a massive tailgating party led
by the first year Florida Panthers (79
points), the graceful but rugged New York
Islanders (78 points), and the pretenders
from Philadelphia, the Flyers (76 points).

Most fans are salivating over a first
round matchup of the Islanders and
Rangers. If the Islanders were to make the
playoffs, all hell for Ranger title hopes
would rear its ugly head.

No reasonable hockey fan can dispute
the fact that the Rangers are a more com-
plete and solid club. However, when these
two clubs grapple on the concrete ice any-
thing can happen.

It was always said that the Islanders con-
tained the necessary intangibles to over-
come more talented teams as shown by last
year’s miracle playoff run. However some
of that on ice fire and heart has diffused out
of the sometimes lackadaisical Long
Islanders, and crossed the river into the
likes of newly acquired Rangers Brian
Noonan and Craig MacTavisch.

Despite the influx of new talent into
Madison Square Garden, the Islanders will
show no fear led by tough guys Pierre
Turgeon and the feisty heavyweight, Marty
MciInnis. The Rangers defensemen will
keep a constant watch on Islander goal
scoring threats such as Mick Vukota and
super quick David Maley.

The question to be asked is who will win
this clash between the Metropolitan giants
should they meet? Sadly, I must say that
those trash—-talking city boys will probably
take the Long Island pretty boys in a fierce-
ly contested six games.

Other hot possibilities for the playoffs
include the first round matchup between
the Chicago Blackhawks and the St. Louis
Blues. Another notable includes a mud
wrestling match between Kathy “Dutch”
Ireland and Cindy “Scarface” Crawford for
ten rounds.

Back to reality for a second. Here is a
grab bag of excuses should your team fal-
ter or not make the playoffs at all. (1) We'll
get a better draft pick. (2) We weren’t kid-
ding ourselves. (3) Did your team win?
Nobody remembers runner-—ups. (4) I don’t
really care, I don’t even follow them. (5) I
know they like to golf. (6) Shut up before I
hurt you, always seems to drop the conver-
sation altogether.

Best of luck to all ruffians who play
hockey the old fashioned “Don Cherry”

style. To Montreal’s Vincent Damphousse :

*

and all of the other talented softies eat your
spinach. ;

you a fond farewell. Playoff time means

Fast start for Men’s Track

By AARON GREENBERG
Editorial Assistant

Hoping to get off to a good
start on what should be an out-
standing outdoor season, Coach
Roberto Vives took the Men’s
Track and Field team to their
opening meets in Virginia over
spring break.

Taking a team of indoor
All-Americans to the Colonial
Relays at William and Mary
College on April 1 and 2, Albany
unleashed enough firepower to
place in the top six in all but one
event.

Against Division I athletes,
Scott Carroll, a graduate student,
won the 3000 meter steeplechase
with a time of 9:03.9. This was
the first time an Albany athlete
won a race at the Colonial
Relays. Carroll broke his previ-
ous school record of 9:20 and
automatically qualifies for the
nationals. ie

Senior William Vanos ran
* 30:22.3 in the 10,000 meters,
good for third place and Division
III’s top time this year. Vanos
automatically qualifies for the
nationals with his new school
record.

Senior Howard Sellers had
every reason to be intimidated by
his competition, but ran well fin-
ishing sixth at the 800 meters in a
field of Olympians. The defend-
ing Division III outdoor National
Champion, Sellers ran 1:52.40,
three seconds behind the winner,
provisionally qualifying for the
nationals.

“I am very satisfied, but still
hungry,” Sellers said, putting the
emphasis on future races.

Junior James Nixon continued
to amaze at the pole vault compe-
tition, finishing second with a
vault of 15’9”, automatically
qualifying for the nationals.

“That was his goal,” Vives

said, noting the wind “created

havoc in that event,” forcing
competitors to use a slightly
lighter pole.

Vince Hodnett broke Albany’s
freshman record in the 110 meter
high hurdles notching a mark of
14:79, placing him fourth and
provisionally qualifying him for
the nationals.

The 4x400 meter relay team of
Hodnett, Sellers and sophomores
Zamafa Chickwendu and David
Abraham, ran 3:18.8, the best
time this early for a Dane relay
team. This bodes well for mid-
season, where “its about strength
and experience,” Sellers said.

“This is the first meet, with
five qualifiers in six events.
We’ ve never had that this early in
the season. On the national level,
this is the best we’ve ever ha
Vives said.

On April 2 at the Captains
Classic hosted by Christopher
Newport University, a small por-
tion of Albany’s team finished
fourth out of seventeen schools
_ by scoring 53 points.

Carroll won the 1500 meter run
by a fraction of a second with
3:54.30. For the second event in
two days, he qualified for the
nationals.

Junior Jason DeJoy ran away
with first place in the 10,000
meters, two minutes and twenty

Three ways to beat
the high cost of college.

1. The Montgomery GI Bill
2. Student loan repayment
3. Part-time income

The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for
Culege.

First, if you qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with up to
$6,840 for current college expenses or approved vo/tech training.

Second, if you have—or obtain—a qualified student loan not in default,
you may getit paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater,
up toa maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum.

Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here’s how it works:
One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill
training at an Army school. You'll earn over $1,500 for Basic and even more for
skill training. Then you'll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit
near your college, usually one wéekend a month plus two weeks a year. You'll
be paid over $105 a weekend to start. It's worth thinking about. Give us a call:

Men’s Lacrosse blows lead in the final seconds

By Eric DAGNALL
Managing Editor

Stunning is the only word that
described Tuesday’s men’s lacrosse game
between the University at Albany (1-2)
and Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute
(3-1).

With 1:49 remaining the Engineers
erased a seemingly comfortable Albany

lead and sent the RPI bench into a frenzy.

““We’ve never stopped believing,” RPI
head coach Jim Townsend said. “We came
up with the big shots at the end.”

With the Danes leading 9-7, the
Engineers took control of the offensive
zone. With 58 seconds remaining, Brian
Proefrock took a pass from Paul
Battagliow, 20 feet in front of the Albany
net and fired a shot that whisked by goalie
, Dave Crone.

q Twenty-nine seconds later Larry Hsu
drew the Albany defensive towards him.
Hsu whipped a pass over to wide open
John Hand on the right side. Hand made
7 the most of his opportunity tying the
score 9-9,

With the seconds ticking down, over-
time seemed inevitable. RPI’s Hsu took

.| the ball with six seconds remaining and

shot a prayer towards the Albany goal.
The ball took a wicke bounce and found
its way into the net. RPI’s following
erupted into cheer while the Danes
solemnly looked on.

“We were outscored 6-1 in the final
period,” Albany head coach Steve
O’Shea said. “You can’t win games
unless you-hold your on in the fourth.”
Albany had every reason to believe the
win was in the books. After RPI took a
3-1 lead, the Danes scored seven

lead.

With 8:48 left in
the first half, junior
Peter White scored
for the Danes after
receiving a pass from
senior co-captain
Kurt Randall. Junior
Adam Tracy tied the
score when he fired a |
howitzer past RPI
goalie Andy Wishart. |
Albany continued to
apply offensive pres- §
sure and scored two
more goals before the
end of the half.

Randall, Albany’s leading scorer,
notched his fifth goal of the season when
his shot got by goalie Wishart. On a man
advantage, senior J.C. Doornick found
White for his second goal of the game.

Twenty-seven seconds into the sec-
ond-half junior Larry Kaufthiel ran to the
right side of the RPI net and his shot bare-
ly got by Wishart. Minutes later sopho-
more Mike Angel scored from a pass by
Scott Blake. It was his fourth of the sea-
son. He scored his fifth goal when he put
one by Wishart at 9:58 of the third. The
goal put Albany up 8-3, and it looked like
a blowout. However, RPI took a timeout
and coach Townsend settled the team

down.

““We made minor adjustments on how to
handle Randall,” Townsend said.

By shutting down Albany’s top offen-
sive weapon, RPI’s defense held Albany
scoreless for the next fifteen minutes.

“RPI stepped up the defensive pressure
against our offense and took us out os our
game,” O’Shea said.

RPI scored four straight goals before
Albany’s Randall scored with 1:49 to go
in the game.

“They outplayed us for fifty minutes,”
Townsend said. “We just stepped it up.”

Albany baseball sweeps doubleheader against Hartwick

By AARON GREENBERG
Editorial Assistant

Albany’s baseball season began last week down south
before sweeping a tough doubleheader on Tuesday’s
home opener. The Danes lost their first three road games
against St. Joseph’s College, Chowan and Virginia
Wesleyan.

“They are driven, committed and optimistic,” head
coach Ed Zaloom said of his players in a pre-season
press release. After three losses, the ability of the team to
bounce back was tested by Hartwick College’s top two
pitchers. Living up to Zaloom’s statement would prove
hard, but Albany managed, led by sterling pitching and
the big bat of senior outfielder Leo Garcia. wet
entered with a record of 8-4.

Starting game one was sophomore William Jarvela, a
transfer from University of Georgia where he played
Division I. Jarvela, who lost when he pitched a two hitter
in his first outing, held off Hartwick’s offense for the
entire game.

The first scoring threat of the game came in the top of
the second inning, when Jarvela allowed two hits.
However Jarvela got himself out of the jam by retiring
the next two hitters.

The first batter in the bottom of the second inning for
Albany was Garcia. He took a pitch from Hartwick’s
Tony Tairo over the leftfield wall for a home run. Three
more runners got on base in the inning, but none scored.

Jarvela demolished the Hartwick hitters over the next
two innings, getting through the third on five pitches. He
got a strange double-play in the fifth on an interference
call to save a potentially dangerous situation. In the sev-
enth, Garcia made a diving catch by the rightfield line.
Hartwick’s hitters could only pop the ball up in their final
opportunity, giving Jarvela a complete game shutout.

Albany had one run on just four hits, the win coming

straight goals to take a commanding 8-3

from great pitching and defense. Jarvela allowed five
hits, striking out two in his seven innings. Hartwick's
Tairo struck out four and walked three.

Both pitchers did well, Zaloom commented, while
adding his team “has to try and produce runs.” Using a
lineup without much power, bunting and base running
are keys to the team.

The second game featured a pitching matchup of
junior Roger Walters and Hartwick’s Mark Stratton.
Albany established a 1-0 lead in the second inning on
doubles by Garcia and senior David Sottile, the designat-
ed hitter. The bases were then loaded, but Stratton killed
the rally on a come-backer to the mound.

Walters, a left-hander, held Hartwick down for the first

two innings, but after a walk and a line drive single,

Jason Gutheil slammed a three run homer to left field.

In the bottom of the inning, the Danes replied with a
run when sophomore second baseman Rich Apiscopa
drove in senior first baseman Howie Rosenkrantz.

Walters allowed only one more baserunner in four
innings.

With one out, sophomore leftfielder Dan Heslin doubled
against the leftfield wall. Rosenkrantz, who was injured,
singled up the middle, driving Heslin in to tie the game
for Albany in the fifth.

The Danes sent up their leadoff hitter, sophomore cen-
terfielder Todd Wagner, to start the bottom of the sev-
enth. He flew out to deep centerfield, followed by two
walks. Once again, Garcia had a chance to provide hero-
ics. With two hits already in the game, he hit a line drive
to rightfield. It fell in for a single, allowing Heslin to
score from second and win the game.

Beating Hartwick provided a big shot in the arm to the

‘Danes’ confidence. Not only has their momentum turned

around, but Albany proved it can cate the best a good

team can throw at them.

“They’ll be one of the top clubs when it’s all said and

done,” Wal‘ >rs stated.

After the game, Zaloom gathered his players together
to assert his previous statements about how good his
team can be.

“Beating a team like Hartwick in two games is a great
way to start out,” he told them, mentioning how it will
help in the playoff hunt.

For the second game, Walters allowed three runs on
four hits in seven innings. Albany picked up nine hits on
four runs, making just one error in the two games. For
the day, Garcia went 4 for 7 with two runs batted in,
Heslin 2 for 3, Rosenkrantz 2 for 6 and Apiscopa 2 for 5
adding his team leading fourth RBI.

The first game of the season was played against St.
Joseph’s College [Maine], a Division II school. Walters
lost 3-2, allowing two earned runs, but walking five in
his six innings. Wagner went 2 for 4, and Apiscopa drove
in two runs. Both teams had five hits.

After three rain outs, Albany played against Chowan,
North Carolina, losing 3-0. Jarvela allowed two earned
runs on-two hits in six innings, but Albany could only
muster one hit.

“The bats were basically silenced,” said assistant
coach Tim Moncman. “We got caught with a suicide
squeeze” which allowed two runs.

Virginia Wesleyan then pummeled the Danes, 9-2.
Already 18-1 and in the top 20, they pounced on senior
starter Leon Feingold for seven runs, only three earned,
in five innings. Feingold walked seven, and combined
with sophomore reliever Keith Walsh to allow nine hits,
including three home runs. The Danes were also victims
of their own defense, which made four errors.

“The pitching is deep and will be there all season,”
junior outfielder Martin Geggan said.

This weekend the Danes play two doubleheaders,
against Middlebury and Cortland.
