Field House construction nears completion

By Marlon Dorn

After years of planning and
construction, the new Field
House behind the current
physical education building will
be opened to students, faculty
and staff during the early part of
the 1991 Fall semester.

Construction of the facility
will, at its completion, have
taken a little over 2 years
incurring a total cost of
$11,756,000, said Dennis
Stevens, assistant vice president
for facilities and director of the
physical plant.

According to Stevens, over
131,500 gross square feet will be
available in the new building,
and the seating capacity in the
main arena will be around 4800
for sports- enthusiasts or concert
goers, over three times the size
of the current arena.”

The new field house will
consist of three basketball
courts, one exhibition and two
practice courts (made of wood)
surrounded by a six-lane track
made of synthetic material
similar to that of the track
around the football field. In
addition, Stevens said there will
be four racquetball courts and
four squash courts, fully
equipped exercise and fitness
rooms, locker rooms and office

Basketball courts, racquetball and squash courts, and a new track are a few features of the new field house.

space,

“We outgrew the old facility,”
Stevens said. “The original
building was built to house a
smaller population than we now
have. That, combined with an
increased interest in fitness on
the part of the student body over
the last 10 years, has pushed the
current physical education
building to its limits.”

Stevens said he hopes that the
new building will alleviate many
of the problems the physical
education department is trying to

cope ‘«~with;
overcrowding, scheduling
problems, and late night
practices for some sports teams.

such as

He also said, “The building
was designed to aesthetically
compliment, rather than compete
with the existing building. The
original physical education
building is intended to be the
dominent architectural form.”

An underground tunnel will
connect the two buildings.

At first sight, the field house

appears deceptively smali
because the landscaping was
designed so that it would
diminish the impact of the new
building, Stevens said.

On the inside, Stevens
explained, the new field house is
light and airy with high ceilings
and skylights in the foyer.
Straight ahead and beyond the
foyer is the arena. The foyer
opens onto the arena from the
lobby, providing a birds eye
view of its expansive size.

Israeli Lt. Col. expresses bleak outlook for the future

By Kent Bronson

In a lecture concerning peace
in the Middle East last
Wednesday, Israeli Army
Lieutenant Colonel Eli Cohen,
who spoke to approximately 40
people, gave a brief analysis of
the Middle East situation, the
history of the conflicts there, and

his assessment of what the future
might hold for the region.
Specific topics included the
Gulf War, Arab-Israeli tensions,
and the Palestinian question,
Discussing overall tensions in
the Middle East, Cohen said the
tensions are a combination of

Israeli conflict, a history of
tension among the Arab nations
themselves, characterized by
disputes such as the eight year
war fought between Iran and Iraq
during the 1980’s and disputes
between virtually all of the Arab
nations with one another at some
period in time.

Tensions in the Middle East are a combination of many things, Lt, Col. Ell Cohen sald at a peace lecture.

He explained the conflicts
arise from two reasons: The first
reason is religious conflicts; not
only those between Jews and
Muslims, but also tension
between the more moderate
Muslims and those adhering to
more fundamentalist or extremist
views of the Islamic faith. The
second reason is conflicts over
power, territory, and wealth,
epitomized in many ways by the
Traqi invasion of Kuwait but also
evident in other areas (chiefly
Arab claims to Israeli land) .

These conflicts, Cohen said,
result in a constant struggle for
power between Arab nations
which results in regional
instability. “For this generation,
unfortunately, I don’t believe
there will be a stable, definite
solution that will solve the
problems of all the si

Cohen also pointed out the
struggles are hindered by the fact
that the majority of the Arab
nations are dictatorships with a
great deal of internal instability,
which also contributes to the

unpredictability of events in the
middle East. He cited the
sudden overthrow of the Shah of
Iran and the establishment of the
fundamentalist regime of the
Ayatollah Khomeini, during
which Iran’s relationship with
Israel went from one of relative
peace to one of extreme hostility
practically overnight.

Cohen said hopes for lasting
peace between Israelis and Arabs
lie with the more moderate
Islamic factions; he said it is
mainly the Islamic
fundamentalists who would like
to see Israel in ruins.

“The fundamentalist...the ones
that believe in Islam as the main
way of their lives, they don’t
want to see Israel right in the
middle of the Arab
world,”Cohen said. He said

government is presently in power

relations can be established

Cease fire blocked

Lisbon, Portugal
(AP) Delegates from Angola’s leftist
government and U.S.-backed rebels failed
Thursday to resolve disagreements that
have blocked a plan to end their 16-year-
old civil war.

The ceremonial signing of the peace
plan by Angola and the Union for the
Total Independence of Angola was
postponed after the government delegation
requested further consultations with
President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, said a
Portuguese official.

Portuguese, U.S. and Soviet mediators
met Thursday with both sides to try to
overcome the problems. The accords
could still be signed Friday, said Jose
Alberto de Sousa, Portuguese Foreign
Ministry spokesman.

The documents contain an agreement in
principle on terms of an internationally
monitored cease-fire, an outline for
multiparty democracy in the southern
African nation and the melding of the two
forces into a national army.

President sworn in

Port-au-Prince, Haiti
(AP) The radical priest Jean-Bertrand
Aristide, draped in a red and blue sash
presented by a peasant woman and four
homeless boys, was sworn in Thursday as
Haiti’s first democratically elected
president. He promptly challenged the
army to retire six consecutive officers.

Thousands of Haitians poured into the
Streets, signing and dancing, after
Aristide’s inauguration, televised live from
the Chamber of Deputies of the
Legislative Palace. It came five years to
the day after the fall of the brutal, 29-year-
old Duvalier family dictatorship.

The 37-year-old Roman Catholic priest
assumes leadership of the poorest and
most politically unstable nation in the
Western Hemisphere, a country ravaged
by decades of corrupt and repressive rule.

“If I could, I would come down and
wash your feet (of blood),” he told army
chiefs gathered with him outside the
National Palace. “Not one drop of blood
should flow in this country again.”

rPREVIEW OF EVENTS

with thrift regulators on behalf of political
donor and S&L operator Charles H.
Keating Jr., congressional sources said
Thursday night.

The three Republicans on the six-
member committee favor dismissing Sen.
John Glenn, D-Ohio, and John McCain,
R-Ariz., from the case, the sources said.
This was a proposal made last September
by committee special counsel Robert S.
Bennett, who reportedly told the
committee there wasn’t any evidence that
Glenn and McCain broke any rules.

Under the Democrats’ package
approach, the four senators would receive
letters criticizing their assistance for
Keating. The letters need not find a
violation of standards of conduct and
would be tailored to each individual’s
behavior.

The case of the fifth member of the
Keating Five, Alan Cranston, D- Calif., is
not part of the dispute, the sources said.
The sources said committee members
consider the case against Cranston a
strong one that could result in a
recommendation for Senate punishment.

Bono bans bikinis

Palm Springs, California
(AP) There will be a little less skin during
the annual invasion by students
celebrating spring break - the city council
has banned G-string bikinis, bared breasts
and exposed male buttocks.

The prohibitions adopted Wednesday
are among a half dozen new measures that
Mayor Sonny Bono, the pop singer turned
politician, termed “courageous.”

Revealing G-string bikinis, termed a
distraction to motorists, will be banned

year-round in public areas and on private
grounds that can be seen from public
areas, officials said.

The council also strengthened public
nudity laws to prohibit women from
baring their breasts and men from
exposing their buttocks in public.

The council also voted to ban poolside
consumption of alcoholic beverages
between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. at hotels that
do not have a liquor license.

Killer is on trial

Lyons
(AP) A prosecutor in the Wayne County
murder trial of serial killer Arthur J.
Shawcross said Friday he may try to use
statements Shawcross allegedly made to a
guard during his previous trial.

“There may be a hearing concerning the
statements he made to the deputy sheriff,”
Wayne County District Attomey Richard
Healy said.

Shawcross was sentenced in Monroe
County Court last week to 250 years in
prison for the serial killings of 10
Rochester area women. He faces a second
trial in neighboring Wayne County for the
1989 death of 29-year-old Elizabeth
Gibson.

Wayne County Public Defender Ronald
Valentine intends to present an insanity
defense, as did Shawcross’ attorneys in
Monroe County. One element in that
defense was Shawcross’ accounts of being
severely sexually abused by his mother as
achild.

I don't want to grow up...

But at a news conference earlier this
week, the Monroe County jail guard who.
took Shawcross to and from court during
his 13-week trial said Shawcross told
him he had made up the stories.

Kisses turn steamy

New York
(AP) One definition of a kiss: “A touch
or caress with the lips, often with some
pressure and suction, as an act of
affection, greeting, etc.”

It must be reported that “Kisses,” a
TNT cable special in which Lauren
Bacall wryly examines the art of the
smooch in Hollywood’s films, doesn’t
really get into the suction part. Or the
etc.

But this special, that appeared last
night, was a welcome respite from war
news and TV movies about sociopaths,
“thirtysomething” cancer episodes and
whatever else the networks think will lift
them from the treadmill to Nielsen
oblivion during the February ratings
sweeps.

“In recent years,” Bacall notes,
“steamy love scenes leaving very little to
the imagination have become rather
common. But in the golden years of
Hollywood, a kiss - was still a kiss.”

Footworks dancers storm PAC |The "Search" is over

This year's theme stressed unity through dance

By John LeMay

Footworks, a dance company
made up entirely of SUNYA
students, performed before an
enthusiastic audience of
approximately 300 Saturday
night at SUNYA’s Performing
Arts Center (PAC).

The concert, “We Dance
Together, Together We Dance,”
which ran from Thursday
through Sunday included a
broad range of music and dance
styles.

The second act of the
performance was dedicated to
the troops in Saudi Arabia.

During the concert, the
audience clapped and cheered
after each of the 19 pieces that
made up the show.

Occasionally people broke
into applause in the midst of a
number,

The dancers’ costumes varied
from big band era street clothes
to traditional African and Asian-
influenced garb.

Vice-Chair claims Council acted irresponsibly

dane Chiang UPS

"We dance together, together we dance," this years Footworks theme,
featured a broad range of music from ballads to lively percussion pieces.

Music ranged from ballads to
lively percussion pieces, and
dances included both solos and
groups, including as many as 18
dancers on stage at one time.

At curtain call, one of the
dancers, Keith Mehrtens told the
audience, “Artistic Director
Tsehaya (Smith-Broaddus) took
the dance department by storm
and made it what it is today.”

Of the dancers who make up
Footworks, Smith-Broaddus
said, “We’ve among us the best
technically fit movers in this
area.”

About 70 dancers belong to
Footworks.

During an interview last week,
Smith-Broaddus said Footworks
influences include: “modern
dance, jazz, ballet,
improvisation...and — ethnic
dances,” She added, this year’s
concert is “a reflection of the
multi-cultural diversity of the
student body of the University at
Albany.”

Although Footworks gives a
concert annually, this is their
first season under the direction
of Smith-Broaddus, who was
hired as professor of dance at
SUNYA in September, 1990.

She has previously held
positions at the Imagination
Celebration in Albany, as well as
the New York State Foundation
and the New York State
Museum, She also has a private
dance studio in downtown
Albany.

Speaking of her hopes for the
concert, Smith-Broaddus said, “I
think this is going to be a totally
new type of concert, a total
revitalization of a dormant and
stagnant dance environment.”

Smith-Broaddus also said
students choreographed most of
the pieces except for the opening
and closing numbers which were
choreographed by Smith-
Broaddus and a dance titled
“Addiction,” by guest
choreographer Jamie Stiller from
New York City.

Smith-Broaddus said she
invited Stiller “so that students
would have a touch of the
outside world with regards to
performance.” She said it would
help give the dancers a sense of
“life after SUNY.”

Speaking of the audience,
Smith-Broaddus said, “I hope
they come away with an
awesome feeling, and we’ve
allowed them to travel and leave
everything behind.”

‘She added, “I hope they leave
here having grown - having
understood relationships and
how we can work together and
how well we do work together.”

Controversy swept through a busy
Central Council meeting Wednesday
night in the Dutch Quad Flagroom, the
first in a series of “Central Council Tours
the Quads” stops this semester.

The three-year-old program” is one of
the best ways for people to get to know
what Central Council is about,” said
Council Chairman Jeffrey Luks.

Luks praised Dutch Quad president
Jody Greene, for making the meeting a
success.

Council members first heard statements
from Carl DeLeon, General Manager of
WCDB 91 FM, as well as Jose Martinez,
President of Fuerza Latina.

DeLeon responded to charges Council
made in a resolution passed last
December Sth which held that WCBD
was in violation of Student Association
(SA) Affirmative Action policy.

Council passed the resolution following
accusations lodged by Fuerza Latina that
claimed WCDB was ignoring “a
legitimate request for Hispanic music
hour” on the 100-watt station.

“We have felt for a long time that we
have not gotten the respect we deserve
from them,” Martinez said. “That’s why
we came to Central Council last
December, because it’s a forum for
students to discuss their grievances,” he
said.

“On the evidence we had at the time, he
felt we were justified in passing the
resolution,” said Council member Kembu
Meyers.

Internal Affairs Chair John Ruiz
justified Council’s actions and backed
Meyer’s assessment. “From what we
knew of the circumstances at the time, he
felt the station appeared to be in violation
of Affirmative Action Policy by
excluding a specific group from
participating in another group.”

“We were never in violation of
Affirmative Action Policy,” DeLeon said.
“The issue has never been about whether
or not to have a Hispanic show.” He told
Council members. “The issue is about
whether Central Council or any other
group has a direct say on WCDB policies.
Our policy is part WCDB procedure, part
FCC-guidelines,” DeLeon said.

“Tf anyone has a problem with the way
our procedures work, the way to change
them is to join the station and work to
change things from the inside,” he said.

“They (Fuerza Latina) want to have a
show, which is fine, but you’ve got to go
through the proper procedures. First, you
have to get ‘cleared’ to become a WCDB
DJ and then you must apply for an FCC-
license. On top of this,” DeLeon said, “it’s
‘one thing to say you want a show, but it’s
another thing entirely to actually commit
to making it work.”

While DeLeon said he was not aware
of the previous management’s opinion on
the matter, he responded to Fuerza
Latina’s charges that WCDB had given
the Hispanic group the ‘cold shoulder’ for
two years.

“They can’t say we’ve ignored them for
two years...how can they say that any DJs
who have expressed an interest in a

Hispanic music show have been shut out
when, to the best of my knowledge, the
first DJ to express an interest just got her
FCC license last Friday, not two years?”
DeLeon asked.

“To exclude anyone from the
procedural guidelines would be unfair
and wrong,” he added.

Martinez cited two DJs in recent years
who to his knowledge, “had expressed an
interest in playing Latino music...but I
don’t know how persistent they were.”

Rather than repeal the strongly worded
resolution, Martinez and DeLeon came to
terms, drew up a “friendly amendment” to
the resolution, which was quickly passed
by Central Council.

The “friendly amendment” charged the
wording of the resolution to “we urge
WCDB to continue their support of
Affirmative Action Policy.”

The two groups p;edged to continue
ironing out their differences. Judy
Zuckerman, Central Council vice-chair,
congratulated the two groups for the
friendly amendment, then chastised
Council members for “voting so hastily
and irresponsibly in the first place by
waving the aging rule on the bill without
both sides present!” She also sharply
criticized the two groups for not settling
their problems prior to coming to Council.

“We are not baby sitters here! We’ve
got a lot of work to do here and by voting
on this bill last December so hastily, we
have wasted precious time now. This is
wrong,” she said.

Luks agreed. “In this case, Council
should have been the last resort. They

could have done this without our
involvement,” Luks said. “They could
have come to me and Judy alone - not the
whole Council - and we could have
worked it out and saved a lot of time. But
did they? NO! We’ve got too much work
on more important subjects like the
budget,” Luks said.

Martinez had no regrets about the steps
he took. “It got results. I few hadn’t gone
before Council, would we be anywhere
with WCDB? I don’t think so. We'd still
be at square one.”

Council member Cliff Roberts said he
was also disturbed by Central Council’s
hasty voting habits. “(They voted)
without hearing all the information
necessary to make an informed decision.”

“The bill should have been aged,”
Roberts said. “I tried to table it, but there
was a lot of pressure to rush the bill
through. I think a lot of people were
intimidated by the sixty or So supporters
of the resolution in the ‘gallery’ area.” He
added, “This is twice the number of voters
than we usually get for any single
Council person’s election,” Roberts said.
With voter turnout for elections
traditionally low, each vote is valuable,
Roberts explained. “That had to be
playing on the minds of some people with
the elections coming up next (this)
week,” he said.

Following the settlements of the Fuerza
Latina/WCDB problem, Student
Association of the State University
(SASU) vice president Mary Kate Cullen
warmed the Council “things are going to

Moscow Circus accused of animal cruelty

By Jennifer Grant
STAFF WRITER

Citizens concerned for animal
welfare have organized a
demonstration to protest the
Moscow Circus on Wednesday,
February 13 from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
at the Knickerbocker Arena.

The protest was organized by
The Animal Rights League,
members of The Association of
Veterinarians for Animal Rights,
Wildlife Rehabilitation and
Education Network and local
grass roots activists.

Participants hope, ultimately,
to bring down the curtain on the
circus’ animal acts, infamous for
their cruelty, according to Dr.

along with her children,
witnessed a trainer severely
striking a bear, “across the upper
back or shoulder with what
appeared to be a long, non-
flexible metal rod,” a document
addressed to the United States
Department of Agriculture in
Las Vegas, Nevada stated.

In 1988, The Toronto Humane
Society also filed cruelty charges
against the Moscow Circus and
in 1989, again condemned the
circus for its neglect to upgrade
abusive conditions, PETA stated.

Yet another complaint in
January of 1991 by the Humane
Society of the United States

Holly Cheever, a member of the
Association of Veterinarians for
Animal Rights.

A Moscow Circus fact sheet
distributed by People For The
Ethical Treatment of Animals
(PETA), stated bears weighing
five hundred pounds and
standing six feet tall, are kept in
cages measuring three by five by
four, for as many as twenty
hours a day, often without clean
water.

It also stated training
frequently includes burning the
animals’ pads to make them
stand upright along with the use
of whips, electric prods, muzzles
and tight collars,

PETA further stated tigers are

allotting the animals just enough
room to lie down. Sometimes,
the sheet stated, these crowded
animals are joined by their cubs.

In Canada, four horses died
from a contagious disease while
traveling with the Moscow
Circus in 1989, according to
PETA. Following this incident
were deaths of the cubs of a
pregnant tiger in 1990 who
became ill and required surgery
while traveling with the circus.

In January of 1989, a public
complaint regarding the Moscow
Circus was filed by an
individual, unaffiliated with any
animal rights organization, who,

(HSUS) against the Moscow
Circus was brought to the
attention of the director of
Operations at Channel Thirteen.
The HSUS stated their belief
that the circus steers people into
believing that animals exist
purely for our entertainment,
therefore beguiling the public
about animal's roles in the
environment.

Field Investigator Lisa A.
Landres of the HSUS said the
insufficiency of laws regulating
wildlife in traveling circuses
brought into this country under a
foreign entity, allows the Circus
to continue performing despite
complaints,

“The Animal Welfare Act
doesn’t apply,” Cheever said.
She also said since legality does
not seem to play a major role in
this instance, education and

public outreach through the
media is the way to go.

Getting corporations such as
Grand Union and Channels six
and thirteen to cease sponsorship
of the Moscow circus would be a
step forward in thwarting animal
acts, she said.

There are a number of circuses
who do not use animals in their
acts such as the Cirque du Soleil
in Canada and the Georgia-
based Nexus Circus.

Cheever said, people should
“stop and realize how abusive
(the circus) is to the animals and
begin to enjoy the circus for the
human acts alone...”

She also said from a doctor’s
point of view, the treatment of
the circus animals maddens her,
“Remember,” she said, “bears
are supposed to be hibernating at
this time of year.”

Last year the protest brought a
crowd of seventy people to

Peace remains a distant hope in Gulf War

lraq launches its twelfth attack on Israel Training program initiated

Jerusalem, Israel
(AP) Iraq fired another Scud
missile at Israel today and the
rocket hit a deserted site in
central Israel, causing no
damage or casualties, the army
said.

Chief army spokesman Brig.
Gen. Nachman Shai said it was
believed the missile carried a
conventional warhead, Another
military spokesman, who cannot
be identified by name under
military regulations, said there
were no immediate reports of
casualties or damage,

Both refused to say exactly
where the missile had struck,
although they did say the site
was deserted.

Shai told Israel radio “we
have located one launching from
western Iraq toward Israel. “

He added: “ As far as I can
determine now it was a
conventional warhead. Certainly
we'd be acting otherwise if we
knew differently.”

It was the 12th attack on the
Jewish state by Iraq since the
Persian Gulf War started Jan. 17.
About 30 Scuds were fired in the
previous attacks.

At least two people have been

killed and about 300 injured in
the previous missile barrages. In
the most recent previous Scud
attack, one missile hit the Tel
Aviv area on Saturday, injuring
26 people.

Today, reporters in Tel Aviv
said they heard what sounded
like U.S. - supplied Patriots

interceptor missiles being fired.
Shai refused to say whether the
defensive missiles were used.

All the missiles fired at Israel
have carried conventional
warheads, despite repeated
threats by Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein to use chemical
weapons.

Cairo, Egypt
(AP) Hundreds of young
Kuwaitis are taking crash
courses in such basic skills as
sewing and car repair to prepare
for returning to a Kuwait
stripped of the riches and luxury
it provided them until six months
ago.

WT's raises money for
Children's Hospital

By Jonathon Kornreich

For raising the most money
for the Children’s Hospital
during a fundraiser, radio station
Q-104 hosted happy hour at the
victorious Washington Tavern
(WT’s) on Friday.

Bob Welch was the disc
jockey. Uncle Vito Masonetti
and the station’s newest arrival,
Bob Mason of Mason and
Sheehan were also there.
Harvey Smilovich from Channel
Ten News also did a live sports
broadcast.

Starting in mid-December
WT’s, with the help of the Off
Campus Association (OCA) and
Sigma Lambda Sigma (Sig
Lam), raised $2800 dollars for
the Albany Children’s Hospital
to win the contest sponsored by
the hospital and Q-104.

Several Albany bars
participated by selling paper
balloons for a dollar. Customers
could buy a balloon and write a
message to a child in the
hospital.

After fighting broke out in the
Middle East, the organizers
decided the messages on the
balloons should be directed to
soldiers overseas, said Michael
Farkas, president of OCA.

OCA and Sig Lam were
instrumental in helping raise the
money, Farkas said. OCA sold
about 200 balloons during happy
hours and 150 after the contest
ended. Sig Lam sold about 400.

L Farkas, who is also president of

Sig Lam said, “I was grateful for
the chance to have my fraternity
get involved in such a
worthwhile community service
event. It was a great opportunity
to show that the Greeks can
really benefit the community.”
WT’s manager Larry Drew
was enthusiastic about SUNYA
students’ role in the charity
event. “We want to thank all the
SUNY students for their support.
They really came through.”

Drew said, “The students have
gotten a lot of bad press lately,
but we support them...This is
definitely a sign of their
worthiness and charity.”

Farkas said, “OCA is
dedicated to performing any
community service for the
downtown Albany area. This is
another example of how students
are eager to improve the
community in which they live.”

Drew said the event was a
huge success.

According to sources at the
Albany Children’s Hospital, the
money raised by all the bars will
go a long way to help the
children. It will be used to help
pay for food and housing as well
as operating expenses for the
hospital, they said.

Gio see

Kuwait’s exiled government is
making the vocational training
program compulsory for all 800
Kuwaiti students between the
ages of 13 and 18 stranded with
their families in Cairo.

They’re preparing for the jobs
that were performed by Asian
and Arab guest workers who
fled the oil-rich emirate after
Traq’s Aug, 2 takeover.

At a recent class, Manal
Sayeb, 16, carefully ironed a
red-and-white-striped galabiya, a
house dress she had just made in
her first sewing experience.

“I'm learning how to do this
because when we go back to
Kuwait there’ll be no tailors and
we'll have to do everything
ourselves,” she said. “We’ll have
to rebuild our country.”

The Kuwaiti Educational
Center in Cairo, founded by the
Kuwait Embassy to look after
Kuwaiti students, launched the
training program in January.

Search

explained, “They would hold up
a green sign at the Lamp Post if
the contest was still on.” The
Lamp Post also served coffee
and donuts all night until the
winners were announced, Munoz
said.

Kanterman also said. “It was
something different to do...I
would’ve had a good time even
if we didn’t win. It was a
refreshing change.”

Another participant agreed. “It
was so much fun that I felt bad
for the students that were doing
the ordinary bar scene.”

Scher and Kanterman’s
teammates, the other two
winners, were Adam Ganz and
Wayne Mandel. Three of the
winners said they have already
spent their prize money.

Mandel said he bought a
stereo, Kanterman bought a
compact disc player, and Scher
took his girlfriend out to dinner
at the Michelle Deverona and
bought himself a receiver.

Ganz was unavailable for
comment but Scher predicted he
would buy a lot of apple juice
with his prize money. “He really
likes apple juice.”

According to Munoz, most
contestants said the third clue
was the most difficult.
Kanterman and Mandel agreed.

The answers to the clues were
(1) executive (2) Hawaii (3)
thorns (4) Hiltons (5) Colonial
(6) 120 (7) rose (8) Ponderosa
and (9) Rockefeller. The final
answer was 120 South Lake.

“The search for $1000 was a
great idea. The clues were good

and well thought out and the
whole event was well
organized,” said Hugh
Spiegelmen, a participant.

be getting worse around here, a
lot worse.”

“We have to show the
governor that he can’t expect the
State’s budget to be balanced on
the backs of students,” Cullen
said.

“New York has the money, but
they’re in the mood for building
prisons these days, and not for
education,” she added.

“Education is an investment,”
Cullen told Council members.
“If New York’s quality of
education declines any further,
and it’s going to if we don’t act
now, the pool of educated
prospective workers will
diminish, and businesses will
move out of the state,” she said.

“It’s as simple as that. We are
one of the best investments
going for New York State right
now, so what does Cuomo do?
He keeps pulling the rug from
beneath us,” she said.

“3000 classes across the state
have been cancelled so far , and
this doesn’t include Albany,”
Cullen said.

“You guys think this is bad,”
Luks told Council, “what do you
think will happen when tuition
deferments for graduate
assistants are cut off? This means
fewer teachers’ assistants, fewer
classes, and longer lines, as if
they could get any longer.”

Student Community Chair

Larry Diamond then gave the
floor to Erica Wyman, a student
political activist with the Young
Communists, who accused a
member of RZA of verbally
threatening her. Wyman said the
student threatened her and said,
“You're dead!”

The student
allegedly pulled down a poster
advertising an African
nationalist who would be
speaking on campus.

“As I went into Campus Life
to file a complaint,” Wyman told
Council, “he followed me,
poking me the whole way into
the office.” It was there, she said,
that she was threatened.

According to Luks an
investigation, by UPD and
Central Council is underway.

The third controversy in
Council was sparked when
Elections Commissioner Lisa
Austin decided to remove
Interim Vice President Kazim
Ali’s name from the ballot for
the Dutch Quad Central Council
seat that he vacated to take his
new position.

Austin said she made the
move “over a conflict of
interest.” “As vice president,
Kazim has to oversee the
elections, including his own on
Dutch Quad. The conflict,” she
said, “ is in having a candidate
for Central Council who has a
key to the ballot box.”

In a close vote Wednesday
night, Central Council failed to
get the 2/3 vote required to
override Austin’s decision by
two votes.

nations.

Conceming the problem of the
Palestinians in and around Israel,
Cohen said the solution to the
Palestinian quest for a homeland
is dependent on negotiations
between the Arab nations,
especially those surrounding
Israel, to find an acceptable
answer to the crisis. He also said
Arab nations have as been
unwilling to do so yet because
they desire to use the Palestinian
problem as a political lever
against Israel.

“For me, the Palestinian
problem...is a kind of hypocrisy
of the Arab countries,”Cohen
said, adding the Arab nations
have a history of using the
Palestinian question as a way to
justify their opposition of Israel
without making any genuine

* efforts to solve the problem.
Cohen said this was a key reason
behind Saddam Hussein’s
decision to invade Kuwait.

According to Cohen, because
of a severe economic backlash
resulting from his eight year war
with Iran, Hussein felt he had to
keep his army active to avoid
total economic catastrophe.

“So he had to go and provoke
Israel right after that, ...and use
the excuse of the Palestinians,
and maybe the Arab world
would support him...he will get
the support of money, his army
would be stronger, and he will be
the new leader of the Arab
world.” Cohen said when this
‘support failed to materialize,.
Hussein chose a more indirect |
route and invaded Kuwait.

Cohen also discussed two of
the major proposed solutions to
the Palestinian problem. He said
despite the fact that “if Israel
wants to stay a democratic
country, Israel has to. solve the
problem of the Arabs in the West
Band and Gaza Swip,” it cannot
convert the West Bank and the
Gaza strip into a Palestinian
nation, nor can it make the A
Palestinians into full-fledged i
Israeli citizens. Cohen said that
both were unrealistic measures

Neil Young, Sonic Youth Push the Limits

Neyer mind that Social Distortion

no longer sound like their name
suggests, tonight they bridge the gap
between the powerhouse rock of Neil
Young and the blitzkrieg hell’s fire of
Sonic Youth. These are four guys in
black who like to rock, sort of like the
Godfathers. There’s just barely
enough grit to satisfy, but plenty of
power to back it up. Their massively-
tattooed 50’s greaser of a singer belts
out hard luck stories like the very
catchy “Ball and Chain” and, on the
gruffer side, “Bad Luck.”

they want to go (which is sort of
ironic — maybe they should change
the name to Social Conforming?).
This band is for those who are keen
on the idea of head-crunching, but
prefer to keep their cranium intact.

Sonic Youth weren’t so friendly.
They introduce themselves with a
handshake that breaks every finger
and a bear hug that cracks every rib.
Even after hooking up with — hold
yer ears die-hard college radio djs —
a major label, these avante-rockers
still screech and howl along the
periphery of artful guitar rock. This
year marks their tenth in the biz, and

Old-timers probably cringe at the
new spiffed-up format, but their
revamped breed of guttural guitar
rock and hooky melodies will most

The emphasis on melodies is slightly
apparent on newer tracks like “Dirty
Boots,” but the melodies were always

jammed in there

somewhere
any way. The
difference these
days is now you
can actually hear
them.

Sonic Youth are
a dreamscape into
the nightmare of
real life, with
heavy doses of

tribute (parody) to

pulsing, was sort of like sex, only
with your clothes on. Now I know
why they call their record Goo.

Neil Young channels his power in
different frequencies (ie: more
conventional), but his set is equally as
powerful. The sonic strains of “The
Star-spangled Banner” gives way to
the crunch of “Hey, Hey, My, My.”
There’s constant references to world
peace — from the gigantic peace sign
hanging in the backdrop to the
pointed lines like “we got a kinder,
gentler machine-gun hand” in the
stirring anthem “Free World.” Neil
Young is pretty angry tonight (Why

bad hangover?), and his playing, at
turns, very tough and somberly
gorgeous. “Fuckin’ Up” scorches with
bitter contempt as much as “Cortez,
The Killer” resonates a simple,
nostalgic beauty. The cover of
“Blowin’ In The Wind” is grandiose,
teverby, and a bit corny, but
completely inspiring. This was Neil
Young in all his ragged glory.

Young’s unflinching, unapologetic,
and rebellious attitude and career
turns make him the perfect
compliment for the lesser-knowns
—who push the limits in their own
ways— he’s championing on this
tour.

Do not become you.

Speak to me of rainbows and fairy

Sing your butterfly songs and sweet

I delight in each stutter, each shy smile,

Your infant's tongue molds upon its

And the way you bob your head as you

And skip circles around me too.

Why so straight now, little one, why are
your feet together,

Your arms—why do they hang limp at
your sides?

You are as neatly combed and brushed
As I would always have; your shoes
still shine—

Your ribbons are tied, your collar clean.
But too bright your round eyes

My eyes away—swallow the words
that are choking me—

That so many others have snatched
from the Maw

Speak to me of life, child;

Tell me tales of your maturity

With your coral lips. I rejoice

At the wonders you recount. I will be

the ones that get their shock value out
of blood and guts, but out of playing
with your mind. If done successfully,
they will leave you exiting the theater
a quivering mass of jelly,
unconsciously checking around every
corner for some unseen bogeyman.
It’s rare that one film can do this, but
The Silence of the Lambs does succeed
in doing this, and it does so
masterfully. This film is perhaps the
single scariest film released in the
past five years, but also one of the
best.

Ed Vaira

The story starts as Clarice Starling
(Jodie Foster), a novice FBI agent, is
called in by her superior (Scott Glenn)
to interview maniacal mass murderer
Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) a
fellow nicknamed “Hannibal the
Cannibal” due to his method of
killing. Unbeknownst to Clarice, her
superiors are hoping she'll make a
connection with Lecter so that he can
help them catch a viscious serial
killer, a person known only as
“Buffalo Bill” because he skins his
female victims alive (for horrifying
reasons we learn later). This sort of
makes sense, because who better to

delve into a psychotic’s mind than a
psychotic himself, especially since
Lecter was a respected psychiatrist
before being caught. What happens
however, is that Lecter starts getting
inside Clarice’s mind as she’s trying
to get inside of his and probes some
of her deep secrets (including one

back seat to the mental game of chess
that Clarice and Dr. Lecter play.
Credit for this film’s success must
go to absolutely everyone involved.

is absolutely brilliant in her scared,
determined portrayal of Clarice, a

Hopkins) contemplates in his jail cell.

that leads to this film’s title). I really
can’t say more about how this film
progresses because it would spoil it,
but let me say that the actual tracking
down of Buffalo Bill almost takes a

neophyte who ends up being the only
one in the FBI capable of dealing with
both Dr. Lecter and Buffalo Bill.
However, the greatest acting kudos
must go to Hopkins, who plays the

most memorable malevolent
character in recent screen history. He
delivers his lines (including one final
one which is a visciously savage joke)
with a detached air of menace that
makes us fear this man even from
behind bars. Great credit must also go
to the script by Ted Tally (White
Palace) , who deftly keeps the almost
parallel stories of Clarice vs. Bill and
Clarice vs. Dr. Lecter from clashing .
Tally handles each story with clarity

® and suspense as he crafts his

wickedly plotted story, based on the
1989 Thomas Harris bestseller of the
» same title. Just as high praise must be
given to director Jonathan Demme,
although he is an odd choice for
director considering his past
experience in comedy (Something
Wild, Married to the Mob). However, he
proves to be an able craftsman at
turning the screws up several notches
until the suspense almost chokes the
life out of the audience, creating what
will be remembered in later years as a

masterpiece of its form.

POWER POP FOR NOW PROPLE

“Excuse me,” says Jim Ellison, lead

singer and guitarist for the highly-
touted power pop band Material
Issue, who are coming to QE2 on Feb.
21. “I just burped.”

Ellison is certainly smooth. Other
musicians trying to promote their
bands may have been embarrassed at
belching in the ear of an interviewer,
someone with the potential power of
the pen to make or break them (or
even in the ear of a college journalist
who may or may not have a delicate
constitution). Still others may have
passed off the expulsion of stomach
gas as a hiccup, or pretended it never
happened. Not Ellison, a candid,
take-me-as-I-am kind of guy who
chews what sounds like carrots
throughout the interview (thereby
causing the burp, which was
infinitesimal but pretty darn funny).
Belching is just a part of his charm.

Susan Friedman

So’s his honesty. He explains that
while their label PolyGram heralds
Material Issue as 70’s power pop
incarnate (like Cheap Trick or the
Elvis Brothers), he doesn’t agree
with that — not that it matters. “We
don’t call ourselves pop — we play
rock music and put melodies to it, so
they call us pop...They can call us
whatever they want though, so long
as people buy our records. A song’sa
song.”

It certainly sounds like classic
power pop. Material Issue’s songs are
bouncy and energetic, chock full of
irresistible hooks, crunchy guitars

voice is exuberant and actually recalls
a very young Robin Zander, and
what pop song would be complete
without the fervent power that are
coming out of the band’s ears. They
sound a lot like the Jam or the
Housemartins, though Ellison claims
they’re not fans of the British pop
scene (“The Jam sang like they had
shit in their mouths”). The songs are
short — they packed 14 of them on
their debut album, which just
happens to be entitled International
Pop Overthrow. Call it pop, call it rock
— it’s pure, simple, and damn good
stuff.

Cool guys with gas -- From left, Jim

(“Columbia College, no, not the
famous one”). They drafted drummer
Mike Zelenko after placing an ad in a
music mag. The band members are
very young — they just recently
graduated from school, but Ellison’s
fondness for power pop goes back to
the late 70’s, early 80’s. “When I was
15, my friends and I would sneak into
clubs. We used to take traffic tickets
from our older brothers and use ‘em
as ID. We'd go see Cheap Trick, Shoes
— it was great.”

Material Issue (the name was
Ellison’s idea; he worked at a factory
that installed alarms and it was the

Ellison, Mike Zelenko and

Ted Ansani bring their sound to the QE2 on the 21st.

Material Issue started four years

name of the forms they had to fill out)
also like to write classic pop songs,

and catchy choruses that'll leave you ago when Ellison and bassist Ted tunes that may not have a lot of
bopping uncontrollably. Ellison’s Ansani met at college in Illinois symbolic undertones but are still

effective and discerning. They do love
songs, rejection songs — actually, a
lot of both. “Hey, I’ve gone out with
lots of girls,” explains lyric writer
Ellison. “And they’re not all about
love — a lot of them are about
extreme hate, if you look a little
closer. And ‘Trouble’ is about
vigilantism, the title track’s about the
whole pop experience. You just gotta
read the lyric sheet.”

Meanings and semantics aside,
Material Issue put out an EP and a 7”
on their own label, Big Block, before
they got signed to PolyGram. In
between they participated on
compilation albums (RCA’s Ten Best
Unsigned Bands) and toured. And
toured. And toured some more.
According to their press release,
Material Issue just love to tour.
“Yeah- it’s more fun than hangin’
around home,” Ellison agrees. “You
know, you're the new kid in town
-it’s pretty cool.” Well, usually. “We
did play Albany in October, though I
have no idea where we were. Big
parking lot...there was this terribly
huge flood. Not very exciting, sorry.”

It was their live performances at the
Midwest Music Conference that
helped get them signed to a major
label. “We weren’t avidly trying. We
got a deal because we're good, not
because we nagged people by
sendin’ them stuff. We're real, that’s
what it is.”

Yeah, Material Issue are real.
Down-to-earth, kinetic power pop
(ooops- rock’n’roll) at its best. And
the fact that their lead singer has
stomach gas just makes it all better.
These guys ain’t no poseurs. Pop or
rock, they’re the real thing.

EDITORIAL ——

Council is toughening
up this semester

There are times when praise is in order, and this is
one of them.

It's a new semester, and the leaders of Central
Council seem to have taken on a new approach. It's
called "sticking to the rules.”

At last weeks Council meeting, Fuerza Latina and
WCDB 91FM resolved their differences regarding an
issue that was brought before Council last semester: Is
WCDB in violation of Affirmative Action policy
because they do not have a Latino music segment?;
and more importantly, does Council have the right to
force them to play any type of music?

Last semester Council passed a resolution which
stated WCDB was in violation of S.A. Affirmative
Action policy; a hasty decision. Council Member
Cliff Roberts probably hit the nail on the head when he
said people were intimidated by the sixty plus Latino
music supporters in the gallery. By the turnout at that
meeting, it was obvious many people felt strongly
about having Latino music played. But it was wrong
of Council to pass a resolution criticizing WCDB
without hearing all the facts and without getting both
sides.

This was proved at last weeks meeting when Council
passed an amended version of the resolution, urging
WCDB to continue their support of Affirmative
Action. Both groups vowed to work together to iron
out their differences.

Council made a mistake last semester, but they were
wise enough to see their errors and correct them.

Vice Chair Judy Zuckerman made an issue about
waiving the aging requirements on the bill too hastily,
and she is right. The aging requirement insures that a
bill will be on Council's agenda well before they
formally meet, thus insuring members will have
enough time to review a bill before voting on it. The
rules Council abides by are there for a reason, and
Council should use extreme caution before overriding
them.

In addition, groups should try to make every effort to
settle their differences outside of Council. It was
interesting to see how well WCDB and Fuerza Latina
worked things out once they dispensed with emotions
and calmly reasoned together. Hopefully, they will
maintain open lines of communication and work out an
arrangement that gives everyone what they want.

SA Programming
gets a "thumbs up"

Cheers to SA Programming for coming up with the
"Search for $1,000," historical hunt through Albany.
The event drew a huge turnout on Friday night; a time
when most students are hitting the bars.

By coming up with the Search, SA has found a cheap
way to entertain students without alcohol. The entry
fee was $15 a team, a modest price for what many
participants called,"An awesome time!."

Bringing programming like that to students unifies
the campus and promotes school spirit. It brings
students closer to Albany and, more importantly, it
proves that there is something to do in Albany besides
get drunk.

A little creativity goes a long way.

Thank you Programming Director Paul Faulhaber,
who has been called "the brainchild” of the Search, and
Bill Weitz, assistant programming director, for showing
students 4 really good time.

Hopefully, SUNYA will be seeing the Search for
many years to come.

Show your displeasure with the war

We are fighting for oil companies and defense
contractors.

Oil companies were the number one contributor to
George Bush’s presidential campaign.

Jeffrey Humphrey

Did you know that Amoco posted a 69 percent gain
this quarter, while the rest of the nation is gripped by
what is being called the beginning of the most vicious
recession since the Depression?

College students will not be the last to be drafted, they
will be the first. The draft laws have changed since 1973,
the last year of the draft. 20 and 21-year-olds will be
drafted first, then 22, 23, 24, and 25. Then 18 and 19-
year-olds. It will not be unemployed high school
graduates. It will be you, it will be your best friends. 14.4
million young men are signed up with selective service,
including you if you get any financial aid, and even if
you probably don’t. The mechanisms are in place to draft
100,000 in two weeks.

Two weeks.

You cannot go to Canada, immigration laws have all
been changed drastically. You have ten days to file for
Objector Status, which must be thoroughly documented
by clergy, school advisors, employers. You must object to
all war, not just this one. It’s a much harder nut to make
than it seems. No deferment is available for students; you
may finish your semester, and then you are in for two
years minimum, not just until the war is over.

Why weren’t you there?

Protesters went more than out of their way to
demonstrate that they did not oppose troops, but the
policy of George Bush. It’s true that some soldiers
misunderstand where anti-war sentiment is directed - at
the government, not them. Some soldiers will return
home with bad feelings.

Better to return home with bad feelings than dead.

CIA director William Webster stated that the sanctions
would work given nine months’ time. Of course, the CIA
also thought that the Soviet Union was incredibly stable.
Saddam wasn’t going anywhere. Saudi Arabia (1 don’t
know why) was fully protected. Israel had not been
attacked. There were no U.S. POWs or hostages. George
Bush’s speech on the day of the attack, written by
himself, was done two weeks in advance. U.S. troops
attacked under a new moon, total darkness, perfect

conditions.

George Bush never had any plans other than war.

Traq no longer has the capability to produce nuclear or
chemical weapons. The Israelis have always insisted they
want to defend themselves. Oil from Kuwait and Iraq,
pre-invasion, accounted for 5 percent of U.S.
consumption, The amount of money raised from cutting
TAP and raising our tuition is equal to 3 of the 350
Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Battleship
Wisconsin. The cost of the twenty American planes
destroyed so far as enough to run the entire SUNY
system of 63 schools for an entire semester.

Why weren’t you there?

There’s a letter in the Sunday Times Union saying, to
paraphrase: Since the war is inevitable, let’s put all our
support into it. My response is: Why should we give up
protesting stupidity, even when it seems hopeless? Isn’t
giving up in the face of adversity unpatriotic?

Shouldn’t blind obedience be un-American?

It was 200 years ago.

No matter how much we like to see the U.S. kick ass
every now and then, war is still wrong and must be the
last resort of intelligent people. These are real human
lives at stake. This is war, people die for no good reason.
This is not the Superbowl.

The fact is, the sanctions would have worked. It is not
too late. I am afraid that these are just words, and I am
Preaching either to the deaf or to the already converted.
But this war would certainly end if public opinion were
against it, as it will be when the draft begins.

You will not be able to attend protest marches when
you are in boot camp.

Friday's issue.

Earthbound wants you

To the Editor:

Are there students on this campus who are interested in
doing something to help the environment? If there are,
then they ought to be aware of Earthbound. Despite the
fact that most students say they are concerned about the
environment, hardly any actually DO anything.
Earthbound is a group of students who are doing
something.

We work on a variety of issues. Our current plans
include: having walks to places in and around Albany, for
example to the dump or through the Pine Bush area;
educating students about issues (like World Hunger) by
postering, tabling, and sponsoring speakers and events;
going to environmental conventions around New York
State, and affecting legislation on energy policy among
other things.

Do you have a specific issue you’d like to do
something about? Come see us. Or are you interested in
doing something to help the environment but you’re not
sure what to do? Come to our meetings. Everyone is
welcome. We meet Mondays at 8pm in $$134.

being left behind at 5:04. The next bus that went

Correcting his letter...

To the Editor,

I would first like to make some clarifications of the
letter that appeared in Friday’s ASP (2/8/91).

Due to editor and/or typesetting, errors appeared in my
letter. I do not support this war in the Persian Gulf, and
outrightly despise the disinformation that is being spread
by the network media. I object to the emotional
wrenching campaigns of both modes of thought (the neo-
conservatives and the Trotskyites). And for those people
who are of the opinion “Love this country or leave it” I
have to say that the Constitution does not only apply to
those citizens who support the policy of its leaders. It
also applies to those who wish tio criticize current policy
because of its flaws and who want to change it. This is a
country of laws; not of people!

I would like to add that the list I gave sources of
alternative media and the list of political
intellectuals/activists is by no means exhaustive or
complete. These are the ones I know, and there are plenty
more. I do not intend to profess in a manner that is
omniscient of knowledge and others are more informed
than I and do know of other sources of information.
“Extra” is a publication of Fair, Fairness and Accuracy
in Reporting; a media watchdog group. I do not have an
address for “Extra,” but I would believe that the library
would have it. In These Times is a different publication.
Their address is In These Times, 1912 Debs Ave, Mt.
Mons, 11 61054.

The GSO is for all grads

To the Editor:

We understand there has been some apprehension
about the organizational processes of SUNYA's newly
formed Graduate Student Organization (GSO). The
following comments are directed at eliminating the
confusion that has been well expressed by Robert Clark
and Robert Underwood, authors of a January 25, 1991
letter to the editor of the ASP .

Mr, Clark and Mr. Underwood believe it was not clear
that the $15 activity fee levied for the*current semester
was mandatory. This was voted on last spring with a
ballot which stated,

"Students with more than six credit-hours and those
with six or less credit-hours will be voting separately to
determine whether they will be members of the GSO.
Either constituency or both may join. The activity fee for
those with more than six credit-hours would be $15 per
semester. The activity fee for those with six or less credit-
hours would be $8 per semester (emphasis ours)."

This wording clearly indicates that two groups of
students would decide separately to join the GSO as
constituencies, not as individuals. Thus, as the
provisional constitution states, any student currently
enrolled and paying the fee wouki be a member. The
wording was discussed and approved by members of the
administration with the clear understanding that the fee
would be mandatory.

Clark and Underwood indicate they feel inadequate
numbers of persons voted in the election last spring. In
the full-time category, 20 percent of the students voted.
Jeff Luks, Student Association Central Council Chair,
says that there was an 8 percent voter turnout in their last
officer elections and that their constitution requires them
to have only a 15 percent voter turnout for their
referendum elections. In a letter, dated July 13, 1990,
then-President O'Leary states:

"I have read your letter of May 25 and reviewed the
record with respect to graduate student organizations in
other SUNY units. Clearly, the level of support on this
campus was greater than at other university centers for
setting up a graduate student organization. Therefore,
since you have secured virtually a 20 percent
particiapation by students carrying seven or more credit-
hours, I am prepared to recognize a graduate student
organization for them, provided there is a majority vote
when the ballots are counted. I also will approve a $15

per semester mandatory fee for graduate students who are
registering for seven or more hours to be allocated to the
graduate student organization under the rules and
regulations of the institiution (emphasis ours)".

SUNYA full-time graduate students voted 7 to 1 in
favor of the GSO. This clearly indicates widespread
interest in the formation of a graduate student advocacy
organization.

Mr. Clark and Mr. Underwood appear disturbed that a
Provisional Organization made decisions regarding
proposals to appear on the ballot, etc. There was no
formal organization as such. There were no "members"
of the provisional organization, it was a very fluid, open
group of students, most of whom did not know each
other until they became interested in getting the GSO
started. People just showed up at different times, often
inresponse to posters around campus, and worked on
Projects that interested them.

That the three current officers, Yvette Scarlett (LACS),
Victoria Santos (LACS), and Deborah Lawrence (Math),
were part of the organizing group also is of concern to
Mr. Clark and Mr. Underwood. Several losing candidates
were also involved in the organizing process. Quite a few
people were nominated and ran who had not been
involved previously; several of these have stayed
involved. There were announcements of nomination
procedures and elections long before the elections.

The GSO election procedures were also questioned. It
is not true that the election committee members were
closely acquainted with the winning candidates. Some of
us had met only recently, none of us were on a personal
friendship basis. The only theme holding to us together
was a mutual concem; getting GSO operational so we
could get to work on issues of concern to us and to our
fellow graduate students. It is not true, as claimed by Mr.
Clark and Mr. Underwood, that only one member of the
elections committee has access to the ballots. They are
available, along with our elections procedures, to any
who wish to do so.

A further issue raised by Mr. Clark and Mr.
Underwood is GSO officer stipends. They are concerned
that the fact that GSO officers would receive stipends
was not made clear in the original balloting. This was not
made clear in the original balloting due to the decision of
the organizing students not to lock the GSO into any
particular budgetary structure until the Assembly of
departmental representatives was formed and could
decide on such policies. There were no improprieties
involved and, although the current officers have donated
massive amounts of time and effort during theorganizing
period, it was decided to hold off on officer stipends until
a future election. Many other budgetary decisions,
including departmental allocations, conference funding,
emergency loan funds, etc., have yet to be made (hint: get
involved in these decisions! The GSO is yours!).

Iam not a liberal

To the Editor:

I would like to take this opportunity to respond to
recent comments made by various students regarding my
comments and organization.

While I am encouraged by Kevin Coleman's support of
the President's policy, I must clarify for him exactly what
I meant. When I said, "We see all the liberals on campus
protesting but they don't have a reason why we (the U.S.)
should leave," I was referring to the anti-war crowd who
attempted to disrupt our rally, and not meant to suggest
that all liberals are anti-war. The Persian Gulf War has
broad popular support from all sides of the political
spectrum, and not meant to suggest otherwise.

Christian J. Klossner seems to believe that he can use
his position as an ex-Vice President of the New York
State Teenage Republicans to bash the College
Republicans. He also accuses us of being a shrouding
ourselves in secrecy. Perhaps he attended the rally
referred to, or went to any of the programs we
participated in. Just for his information, he is free to
attend one of our meetings Monday nights at 8:00 p.m. in
be 12,

It does seem, however, that Mr. Klossman is being
overly bitter and vindictive in his charges that the
College Republicans do not reflect the policy of the
national party.

Continued from page 6
which would be extremely
detrimental to Israel in the long
run.

A Palestinian homeland, even
a demilitarized one, in what is
today the West Bank and the
Gazz Strip would constitute a
serious threat to Israeli national
security, Cohen said, because it
would attract millions more
Palestinians now living in
surrounding nations and place
them just nine miles from the
populations centers of Israel. If
a war did start, as Cohen said he
felt it eventually would, instead
of having 300,000 Palestinians
to deal with, there would then be
over 2 million.

Cohen also raised the
possibility that other hostile
Arab nations might be able to
focus a campaign against Israel
through such a Palestinian state.
He said the key to mobilizing
Israc!’s mostly reserve military
are two main roads that connect
the nation are are in close
proximity to the West Band and
Gaza. Were an aggressor to

destroy these roads, it would
immediately have a distinct
military advantage over Israel
and a much greater chance of
prevailing in a war.

Cohen said making the
Palestinians into Israeli citizens
was also out of the question
because it would give them too
much political power and also
might mean an eventual end to
Israel as a Jewish state.

Concerning the war in the
Persian gulf, Cohen said
President Bush made several
diplomatic mistakes in the
months preceding the war, both
before and after Hussein
occupied Kuwait, that greatly
increased the likelihood of war.

“Tf (Hussein) had known that
there would be a big coalition
against him, that the whole
Western world would go against
him and fight him” he wouldn’t
have invaded Kuwait, Cohen
said. He also said the U.S. had
given Hussein indications that it
would not become involved in
the dispute between Iraq and
Kuwait, and this helped prompt
the Iraqi invasion.

According to Cohen, another
miscalculation by the Bush

Administration was the notion
that Hussein would back out of
the situation when threatened
with war by the Allied forces,

Despite Israel’s restraint thus
far, Cohen expressed the opinion
that the nation will become
involved militarily at some point
before the conflict has ended. He
said despite pressure from the
Israeli people to retaliate for the
SCUD missile attacks, which
have struck several Israeli cities,
Israel has not yet done so in
order to avoid splitting the U.N.
coalition which includes of
several Arab nations who have
expressed doubts that they
would maintain their loyalties
should Israel retaliate against
Traq.

However, Cohen said any use
of chemical or biological
weapons against Israel would
prompt its immediate entry into
the conflict.

“The moment he (Hussein)
sends chemicals, there will be
immediate retaliation,” Cohen
said, “They will not wait.” He
said as long as Israel limited
such a retaliation to air strikes
against direct targets in Iraq, he
felt the U.N. coalition would not

split.

Cohen said if Israel were to
launch retaliatory strikes against
Iraq, they would probably be
directed against two possible
targets, the SCUD missile
launchers used to attack Israel
and possibly Saddam Hussein
himself.

“If Saddam Hussein himself
would be killed or...captured,
there is a very good chance that
this war could be stopped,”
Cohen said. He implied that
there were other actions Israel
might take against Iraqi in
retaliation, but declined to
discuss what form those actions
might take.

Pertaining to the ways Cohen
discussed in which Israel could
launch a retaliatory strike
against Iraqi, RZA member Shai
Carmel said “...there are many
other alternatives that Israel has
at its disposal. The two he
mentioned are the most obvious,
but not necessarily the ones that
Israel will pursue.”

Cohen lectured for about an
hour and then answered
questions from the audience for
about thirty minutes. Carmel
characterized the lecture in a

positive light. “I think it was
very successful,” he said. “We
had a good turnout.”

Council

Continued trom page 5
who opposed the move to
override Austin’s decision, said
“There definitely (is) the
appearance of a conflict of
interest.”

While Don and others voted
against overruling Austin, they
were in agreement that Ali was
“a terrific representative for his
constituents on Dutch Quad,”
Don said.

“If they had a problem with
Kazim overseeing the Dutch
Quad elections, why didn’t Lisa
(Austin) just have him oversee
the other three Quads except for

Dutch?,” Student Action
Committee Chair Cindy
Goldberg asked.

Immediately after the override
attempt fell short, Ali declared
he would be a write-in candidate
(this week) “because my
constituents want me back on
Council. I did SA a favor by
becoming interim vice president.
Now I want to return to Council
where I belong.”

Two losses at Pennsylvania end wrestling's dual season

‘Armando Vargas UPS
The Ivy League has proven too tough for Albany to conquer.

By Andrew Schotz
SPORTS EDITOR

The brutal schedule continues
for SUNYA wrestling, with two
more losses coming Saturday to
Division I foes. The host
University of Pennsylvania and
Ivy League compatriot Harvard
University dealt the Great Danes
their seventh and eighth dual
meet losses of the year, 32-10
and 24-12, respectively. Division
Ill Albany finished its regular
season schedule at 5-9, but most
of those losses have come to
Division I schools, including
four Ivies. The team will now
focus on the upcoming Eastern
Regionals this weekend.

The Pennsylvania score was a
lopsided one, but Albany coach
Joe DeMeo noted that at least
seven of the weight classes were
tight matches. "We competed
well at heavyweight, ‘90, ‘77,
‘67, ‘58, ‘50, and ‘26, “ DeMeo
explained. His statement was
accurate-only two of those seven
matches were decided by as
many as three points. Two were
two-point decisions, another was
a one-pointer, and two were ties.

Compounding the Danes’
problems was the absence of

sophomore Van Fronhofer, out
with an injury, at 142 pounds.
His replacement, freshman Bob
Gillespie, suffered two losses
during the tri-meet.

Against Harvard, the return of
Albany stalwart John Pavlin, as
well as the continued excellence
of Bill Mallin, helped to keep the
Danes relatively close. The
Crimson were too strong,
though, and the Ivy League
improved its mark to 4-0 vs.
Albany.

Approximately 28 schools are
eligible to compete in the
Eastern Regional competition in
Rochester on Friday and
Saturday. According to DeMeo,
about eight will not show up,
including Yeshiva which doesn’t
compete on Saturdays, the
Jewish sabbath. Those that will
be there include two-time
defending champion Ithaca
College (who Albany recently
defeated) and St. Lawrence
University (who Albany lost to),
as well as Hunter College, Case
Westem, RIT, and NYU.

At this tournament, 26 athletes
will be selected for the NCAA
Championships next month in

Illinois. They will consist of all
20 first- and second-place
finishers, as well as six “wild-
cards.” The wild cards, which
come from a pool of third- and
fourth-place finishers, will be
decided by a coaches meeting
after the event.According to
DeMeo, the vote can become an
arduous event and may take a
few hours or more.

First-place Niagara kills Albany's win streak

By Ari Kampel

breakaway at 10:32.

STAFF WRITER

The Albany State ice hockey
club, after winning three
consecutive games and four of
its last five, dropped a 7-4
decision on the road to the first-
place Niagara Purple Eagles
Friday night, The Danes, playing
without key role players Joe
Roman and Steve Voulgaris, fell
to 9-8 overall, 6-5 in league play.

The last time the two clubs
met, back in December, the
Danes allowed 72 shots, but
goaltender Dave Kornreich kept
his team in the game until the
third period. This game began on
a similar note, with Kornreich

making several saves, and
Niagara passing on the shots.

On defense, the Purple Eagles
showed some muscle and did not
allow an Albany shot until 3 1/2
minutes had elapsed.

At 14:23, Tracy Melton gave
the Purple Eagles a 1-0 lead,

Twenty seconds later, the lead
was almost 2-0, but a Niagara
goal was disallowed when it was
ruled that the puck was kicked
into the net.

Kornreich made three
consecutive amazing saves at the
12:00 mark to keep his club in
the game.

Albany’s high-scoring Rich
Gallagher tied the game on a

At 9:04, the Danes took their
only lead of the game. Mike
Palumbo grabbed a loose puck
and walked alone to beat
Niagara goaltender Mark
Babowicz.

The Danes began to play
better toward the end of the
period, as they limited Niagara
to few quality shots.

However, at 5:09, Melton
scored his second goal, off a
rebound, to tie the game. The
first period ended with Niagara
holding a huge advantage in
shots, 23-8, but tied, 2-2.

The Purple Eagles dominated
the second period, scoring three

Fighting

Continued from back page
receive on average, a five-minute slap on his
wrist? And why isn’t a player suspended for the
season, or even banned, for “assault with a deadly
weapon,” the legal term for cracking someone
across the head with a stick? I see many instances
lof stickplay in hockey highlights, yet rarely is a
player suspended for more than 10 games or so,
and that’s only if his victim is hospitalized.
Because I’m a Long Islander, I always rooted
for the New York Islanders back when I was more
jinterested in the sport. Now I observe with disgust
jas I hear about incidents such as the one that took
place in last year’s Islanders-Rangers playoff
series. It seems that in order to retaliate for a
devastating but clean check that knocked Isles’
star Pat LaFontaine out of action, his teammates
took it upon themselves to seek revenge. A “goon
squad” came out onto the ice and, the moment a
last-minute faceoff was conducted, dropped their
gloves to brawl.
But then came the repulsive part. Also in
retaliation, Islander Mick Vukota went aftet a
certain Ranger (I can’t recall his name). Vukota
lproceeded to pummel his opponent senseless
|because the punches he threw were not returned.
|Why? The Ranger was a bom-again Christian and
doesn’t condone violence. Vukota claimed he
didn’t know, but that shouldn’t matter. Such
ithuggery should be removed from athletics.
Now I hear that the Islanders and Rangers are at
lit again. Apparently, Randy Wood knocked
|Rangers’ center Bernie Nicholls out of action with

a hit, and Nicholls’ teammates are after him.
Where does it all end?

It doesn’t. National Hockey League
commissioner John Ziegler has occasionally
spoken out on the violence in his sport.
Translated, this means that it looks bad when
players nearly gouge an eye out when using their
stick as a sword. And it’s bad publicity when two!
squads are involved in a melee before the opening
faceoff. In other words let’s confine the pugilism
to tidy one-on-one matches eight or nine times a
game.

Why can’t other sports allow small-scale
fighting the NHL does? Ok, Larry and Todd, you
two can take some swings, but your UNLV and
Arkansas teammates must watch quietly from the
sidelines. Sounds stupid, but that’s how hockey
works.

I know that this policy will not be changing

because Ziegler knows that a large percentage of}

hockey fans love the fighting. That is true, but
only because it is there. Hockey has definite
appeal and excitement and doesn’t need
barbarianism.

Fighting can be a problem in any sport,
especially at higher levels of competition, where
intensity runs wild. It is the responsibility of
league administration to set guidelines to keep it
under control. I applaud the efforts of the NCAA|
and hope they will implement their rules|
appropriately. But the NHL’s acceptance of
combat is sickening and must be eliminated. Let’s|
keep the good guy-bad guy rivalry trash confined
to professional wrestling, where it belongs.

unanswered goals in the first 6
1/2 minutes.

Only 1:07 had elapsed when
Tom Dockery walked in alone
and beat Kornreich,

At 17:16, Bob Crowley was
left alone in front and gave
Niagara a 4-2 advantage as
Albany’s defense seemed
lackadaisical.

At 13:44, Melton was called
for high sticking, but Chad
Buchta scored a shorthanded
goal and it was suddenly 5-2.

Albany head coach Todd
Flanigan felt that this was the
turning point of the game. “The
shorthanded goal killed us,” he
said. “At 4-2, we were still in the
game.”

On the night, Albany had
problems on the power play, one
of the club’s recent strengths.
Flanigan cited the loss of Roman
and Voulgaris as the reason for
this. “Our power play is less
effective and our scoring
potential increases with them,”
he said.

In the final period, Albany
tried its best to close the gap. At
15:34, Palumbo scored his
second goal on a five-on-three
advantage, and it was 5-3.

Later, Palumbo was called for
slashing and, at 13:43, Dockery
scored on the power play to
regain Niagara’s three-goal lead.

Gallagher scored his second
goal at 8:54 while Craig Miller
was serving a holding penalty
for the Eagles, and the Danes
were still in it.

However, the Danes’ hopes
for victory all but ended when
Palumbo was called for hooking
with 2:33 remaining. Sure
enough, Carl Sasyn completed
the scoring only 15 seconds later,
for the 7-3 final.

With 1:23 remaining, the game
turned into a fighting match.
After Babowicz left the net and
cleared the puck, Albany’s Dave

Leitner gave the goaltender an
unexpected body check. The
Niagara players on the ice
rushed to defend their goalie,
and the fight ensued. Leitner, Ed
Entner, and Steve Schrieber of
Albany were suspended for one
game.

The Danes managed 28 shots
on net, and allowed 48.

Flanigan explained that his
team played conservative man-
on-man defense. The Danes’
plan was to neutralize Sasyn,
Niagara’s big play man, by
shadowing him with Palumbo.
They were effective, as Sasyn
was stopped repeatedly and
scored only a meaningless goal.

Flanigan felt his team could
have won, but wasn’t crushed.
“T’d rather lose now than lose to
them in the playoffs in two
weeks,” he said. “With a full
squad, I’m confident we can beat
them.”

In Sunday’s University of
Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLY)-
University of Arkansas!
basketball game, we had a
chance to see the new National
Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) policy on punishing
players who fight. Play became
tense during the second half
land Arkansas’ Todd Day
exchanged a few swings with
'UNLV’s Larry Johnson. This
was a clear-cut case of fighting, |
yet referee Jody Sylvester
chose not to eject the pair for
this infraction, which would
have carried an automatic one-
game suspension. Instead the|
call was “unsportsmanlike
conduct." Day and Johnson
were thrown out, but Sylvester
took the easy way out.

The NCAA has attempted to
take the reins in a problem that,
jat times, has grown vastly out
lof hand in recent years-
violence, fighting in particular.
It wasn’t too long ago that you
could go to a fight and have a
Georgetown game break out, as
ithe joke goes. Only a few
seasons back, the Hoyas were
involved in at least two big-
time brawls.

This year, if a player is|

ejected for fighting twice, he is
automatically suspended for the
rest of the year. It is now up to
referees to utilize this rule
whenever a player “squares
up,” as happened Sunday.
I can’t belittle the NCAA|
very much in their efforts- the
problem is certainly
diminishing. If only other
sports-governing bodies would
follow suit.

For example, the most
ridiculous punishment in
athletics today has to be the
National Football League’s
(NFL) turn-the-other-cheek
offsetting penalties call. Al
player can actually throw
punches at another and walk
laway scot-free...as long as the’
other player does the same.
'Unsportsmanlike conduct can
be called on each player and the
viewer learns that two wrongs|
make absolutely nothing. How
about assessing penalty yards to}
ithe offensive team and holding
off the defensive team’s
punishment until they get
possession of the ball? Or vice’
versa? Or would that make too|
much sense?

But no sport can even be

Will this be Doc's worst season ever?

Albany on brink of first sub .500 season ever under Sauers

By Wayne Stock
SENIOR EDITOR
Oneonta, New York

Some things are better left forgotten.-For
Bill Buckner, it is a certain October night in
1986, For the Syracuse Orangemen, it is
Indiana’s Keith Smart. And for Doc Sauers,
it is this season.

Albany watched their record drop to 12-12
this past weekend, following defeats by
Ithaca and Hartwick.

With two games remaining, the Great
Danes face the possibility of suffering their
first losing season under Dick Sauers in his
35 years as coach. The team’s worst record
under Sauers was during the 1963-64
campaign when they were 11-11.

On Sunday in Oneonta, Hartwick (11-11)
handed the Danes a 79-59 defeat, their most
lopsided of the season. A night earlier in
University Gym, a late second-half charge
fell short, as Ithaca (13-8) escaped with an
87-80 win.

Hartwick took the Danes out of the game
right at the start by opening up with a 17-2
lead. Albany would never recover.

“We wanted to come out fast,” said
Hartwick head coach Nick Lambros. “We
wanted to shoot from the perimeter and play
our game. Albany, though, didn’t look like
they were motivated.”

With a 47-31 halftime deficit, Albany
could only get as close as 13 after Ed Feller
connected on a three-pointer with 18:21
remaining.

“Sometimes we don’t come out with
anything,” said Feller, who had a team-high
14 points. “We lack a lot of chemistry and
intensity.”

“I don’t think we’re quitting out there,”
said Albany assistant coach Jim Boland.
“We've just come out not ready to play.”

Ithaca also jumped all over the Danes from
the get-go, building first-half leads of 20-9
and 40-18.

Trailing 58-36 with 15:31 remaining, the
Danes clawed their way back into the contest
with a 16-1 run.

In the opening half it was the Bombers’
constant full-court press that threw Albany
for a loop.

“Ever since the Oneonta game, teams have
tried to do that against us,” Sauers said. “In
the second half, we broke it better.”

The Danes were able to cut the lead to 70-
67 at the 4:48 mark following a three-point
conversion by Alex McClearn.

But after a pain of costly turnovers by the
Danes, Ithaca sealed the win with a three-
point basket by Mike Hess and a lay-up by
Pete Kowal for a 79-70 lead.

“Our kids did a tremendous job,” said
Ithaca head coach Tom Baker. “We came in
saying we were going to play hard for 40
minutes and we did.”

Albany was able to make a second-half
Tun by breaking the Bombers’ press. But a
change into a zone by Ithaca allowed them to
hold their lead.

“The key point for us was when we
switched into a 3-2 match-up,” Baker said.
“We were able to regain control.”

Freshman Bob Miller poured in 28 points,
the most by an Albany player this season.
Hess was the game’s high scorer with 30.

Albany travels to Skidmore on Wednesday
for an 8:00 game.
