Three referendums
pass to receive funds

By Bryan Sierra
NEWS EDITOR

The New York Public Interest
Research Group (NYPIRG) won
its battle to receive funding from
the mandatory activity fee in a
referendum held Tuesday and
Wednesday.

The NYPIRG referendum, the
most controversial of the three
referendums on the ballot, receiv-
ed 63 percent ‘‘yes’’ votes. In
order to receive funding without
further approval by Central
Council, NY PIRG needed 60 per-
cent of the vote.

The other two referendums
were to decide funding for the
United States Student Associa-
tion (USSA) and the Student
Association of the State Universi-
ty (SASU). Both passed, with
USSA receiving 76 percent ‘‘yes”’
votes, and with SASU receiving
80 percent ‘‘yes’’ votes. These
referendums also needed 60 ‘per-
cent approval to pass.

NYPIRG receives $3 per stu-
dent, per semester from the activi-
ty fee. USSA receives 25 cents per
student, and SASU receives $2
per student.

The Coalition Against Student
Exploitation (CASE) had launch-
ed an extensive campaign to end
funding for NYPIRG and USSA,
but did not contest the SASU fun-
ding. CASE argued that NYPIRG
was not financially accountable to
students, and that USSA was
already being funded through the
payment of SASU dues, and
therefore students were paying
double.

NYPIRG project coordinator
Chris Beauchamp said he was
pleased with the election results.
‘“‘We really appreciate the fact

that students who voted for us
took the time to investigate both
sides of the issue,’’ Beauchamp
said.

NYPIRG State Board -

Representative Erica Lyon stated
that she felt that the campaign
against NYPIRG was based on
just one small point that made
students upset—‘‘a shock state-
ment’’ as Lyon called it, referring
to CASE’s allegations that the
$60,000 afforded to NYPIRG was
being taken off campus instead of
being spent on campus.

‘*Basically, what they were tell-
ing the students was designed to
get a knee jerk reaction from
students,’’ Lyon stated.

Beauchamp said that the focal
point of CASE’s campaign was
‘taken out of context about the
way the organization is
structured.”’

According to Lyon, the point
of the referendum was not to take
money from other student
groups. She pointed out that the
referendum occurs automatically
every two years so that the
students can decide on funding.
Beauchamp added that if the
referendum were to fail, Central
Council would decide on the issue
of funding.

‘‘The campaign that they
(CASE) ran did bring students
minds to question what NYPIRG
is all about. ..it encourages
students to come out and vote,”’
Beauchamp said.

“‘C’est Ia guerre,’’ CASE co-
chairman Rob Schmidlin said in
reference to the elections.
Schmidlin said he plans to retire
from campus politics and
graduate. 14>

Feminist Alliance members staged an impromptu protest.

Feminists stage speak-out

By Laurie Kellman
EDITORIAL PAGES EDITOR

An impromptu educational
speak-out was held in the Campus
Center Wednesday in response to
what the Femenist Alliance called
‘(low rape awareness’’.

At 12:40 p.m., about 12

-members of the Alliance descend- —

ed the center stairway into the
cafeteria, applauding in an effort
to attract the lunch crowd’s
attention.

Members Beci Land, Lisa
Winick, Brenda Yeager and Kim
Cotter climbed atop a table and
faced the crowd.

The scripted presentation

began with each of the four -

declaring, ‘‘I was raped and I
want to tell you about it.’’

It proceeded through twelve
verses which, according to Land,

By Morgan Lyle

Central Council voted to over-
ride Student Association Presi-
dent James Lamb’s veto of two
bills regarding the status of
Freedom Quad.

After a wide-ranging debate at
its meeting Wednesday night,
Council voted unanimously to
override Lamb’s veto of a bill
recognizing Freedom as

| SUNYA’s sixth residence quad. It
also voted, 15-0, to override the
| veto of a bill giving the quad

representation on the Council.
Council had passed both bills at
its Oct. 5 meeting.

Duane Wilkins, an off-campus
candidate for Council, — will
become the Freedom Quad
prepersentative as provided for in
one of the bills. Wilkins is a resi-
dent of Freedom Quad. The off-
campus seat Wilkins applied for is
now vacant. Council chair Shawn
Thompson said that seat will pro-
bably be filled in a February by-
election.

Thompson said that the timing
of Lamb’s veto causes some con-

“got rid of many myths regarding
clothes, ableism, location, and
‘attractiveness’... . Rape oc-
curs across all of these lines.”’

After each verse, the group, in
unison, declared that no matter
what the situation involved, ‘‘[the
rape] didn’t matter’.

Land said that the event was a
response to low rape statistics and
a low level of concern on campus.

According to Nancy. Loux, an
administrative aid at the Universi-
ty Police Department, the
number of rapes totaled two
reported on campus in 1987 and
two more reported in 1988.

*“We know that more women
are being raped on campus than
that,’’ Land said, adding that one
out of three women will be raped
in college.

‘These ‘victims’ are survivors,

fusion about the election, because
Wilkins may have received votes
from off-campus students who
wanted him as their — and not
Freedom Quad’s — _ represen-
tative on Council.

Lamb told council during the
debate that he had hoped to pre-
sent a written explanation of his
reasoning for the vetoes, but had
been too busy with Tuesday and
Wednesday’s elections to prepare
it. Lamb. said the council
members would have his explana-
tion by the end of this week.

But State Quad representative
Steve Rhoads, who moved to
override the vetoes, said that ac-
tion on the bills could not be
postponed pending Lamb’s ex-
planation because any disputes
regarding the election must be
presented to the SA Supreme
Court within three days of the
election.

“I feel that Central Council
should take a stand on the
Freedom Quad issue, and I don’t
think we can afford to wait a
week,’’ Rhoads said.

COHEN UPS

but they feel they can’t come for-
ward because they are blamed for
the rape,’’ Land said.

In response, the speak-out end-
ed with the statement, ‘“We were
told it wasn’t rape. We were
raped and it does matter.”’

The members of the Feminist
Alliance said that overall, they are
angry that women in our society
live in fear of this violent act, then
are expected to repress their feel-
ings after the act occurs.

*‘Some people feel that rape is a
private problem and shouldn’t be
talked about in public,’’ Land
said, ‘‘But we feel it is really a
social problem.”’

Moreover, campus groups
generally make little attempt to
learn how to prevent rape, accor-
ding to Alliance member

Council overrides quad veto

Lamb said he agreed with
Council that Freedom Quad
‘‘deserves representation,’’ but
favored formation of an ad-hoc
committee to determine its nature
and the extent of representation it
should receive.

Wilkins, arguing for the over-
ride, said that Assistant Vice

Agents sieze pictures

Manila, Philippines
(AP) American FBI agents seized $6
million worth of paintings during a recent
search of the estate of Ferdinand Marcos’
son-in-law in California, a senior Philip-
pine official said yesterday.

Mateo Caparas, chairman of the
Presidential Commission on Good
Government, told reporters he expects that
U.S. authorities will turn over the pain-
tings to the Philippine government because
they know the works of art were bought

“‘with the Filipino people’s money.”’

In a related development, Caparas said
Marcos, former president of the Philip-
pines, could still face criminal charges in
the Philippines even if he enters a plea
bargain with U.S. authorities and sur-
renders some of his fortune.

On Tuesday, U.S. government sources.

said American authorities may promise
Marcos he would not go to prison if he
pleads guilty and forfeits money he
allegedly stole during his
administration.

Chief testifies

top computer engineers testified that the
sale of Norwegian technology to the Soviet
Union undermined NATO security.

The general said that the state of the art

He made the statements at the trial of
Bernard John Green, a Briton who was the

sales manager at Kongsberg and who sign-.

ed the contracts that violated western ex-
port regulations to East bloc countries.

Green, who has lived in Norway since:

1975, pleaded innocent to charges of lying

on the export licence application for the

sale. He argued-that the sale, completed
between 1983 and 1985, was a collective
decision of the company. Green, 50, faces
a maximum 2 year prison term if
convicted.

False claim found

Baltimore
(AP) Newly uncovered notes kept by
Robert E. Peary show the explorer claimed
to be the first person to reach the North
Pole even though he knew he hadn’t come
closer than 121 miles, an astronomer and
historian says.

The new evidence indicates Peary knew .

exactly how far away he was and turned
back when supplies ran low and warming
weather threatened to make the floating
ice too dangerous, Dennis Rawlins said in
an interview today.

Peary had been under pressure to
publicly his 1909 expedition a success, said
Rawlins, who uncovered a previously seal-
ed file in the Johns Hopkins University
Library.

‘‘My feeling is his reaction was he had to
make the claim because he had published a
book in 1907 saying he got close and it
didn’t sell at all,’’ Rawlins said.

Budget ruled illegal

Albany

(AP) Nassau County’s 1988 budget is il-

legal because county leaders improperly

kept an estimated $90 million surplus out

of the document, the state’s top court rul-
ed in a split vote Thursday.

The New York Court of Appeals ruled

5-2 that the Nassau County Board of

Supervisors must pass a new 1988 budget
to correct an oversight it blamed on
Republican County Executive Thomas
Gulotta.

While the court ruled in favor of Nassau
County taxpayer Richard Korn’s conten-
tion that Gulotta’s actions didn’t match
his words, the two dissenting judges warn-
ed that the court was straying into legal
territory best left to the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches of government.

Gulotta proposed in October 1987 that
the county’s estimated $80.1 million
surplus to be used to ‘‘stabilize property
taxes’’ over a three-year period. In his
budget message two weeks later, the
surplus was estimated at $90 million.

Waldauer received an unexpected phone

filed.

Apparently Waldauer did nothing
wrong. It was just one of dozens of calls
that three of the courts ten appeals judges

fort to attack the heaviest caseload i in the

court’s history.

UAS positions open

Student Association reopened applica-
tions for the University Auxiliary Service
Board of Directors yesterday.

According to SA President James
Lamb, the applications were opened
yesterday only to increase minority
representation on the Board.

Lamb said there were 17 applications
for the nine available positions. Inter-
views are scheduled to be held on Friday
and Monday.

Appointments should be made on
Wednesday, Lamb estimated.

The UAS Board is comprised of
students and faculty members and
regulates the prices of food and services
provided by UAS.

President Whoopi?

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — While ex-
pensive political consultants tried to
guess if this was the year the Student
Vote—the huge body of voters that could
swing national elections but, thanks to
collegians’ terrible turnout record, never
has—finally shows. up, University of
North Florida student reporter Declan
Doyle decided to find out for himself.

In' a ‘‘random survey’ of 12
classmates, Doyle asked students to say
who they’d like to see in the White House
next January.

The winner: Chrysler Corp. Chairman
Lee Iococca, who got two votes. St.
Francis of Assisi, Harry S. Truman, Ted-
dy Roosevelt, Mickey Mouse,’ Whoopi
Goldberg and a =sead cat’’ each received
one vote.

Pool ready

SUNYA’s swimming pool, located in
the Physical Education Building, has
been reopened following months of
repair work, according to Assistant Vice
President and Director of the Physical
Plant Department Dennis Stevens.

Stevens said the pool got a new water
filtration system and a new recirculating

pump, as well as graphics that indicate

pool depth installed alongside the pool.

The pool, which reopened last week,
was closed early in the summer to do’

repair work. ‘‘After 23 years of filtering
water, it needed a replacement,’’ Stevens
said.

According to Stevens, the University

contracted Paddock Pools, the lowest

bidder for the project, to do the

necessary work. The total cost was

$82,000, Stevens said.

Donkey mystery

Attention SUNYA students: be on the
lookout for a four year old, two ounce
blue-grey donkey.

That was the message conveyed by
Karen Balter, co-president of the Young
Democrats. ‘‘My donkey disappeared,”’
Balter said, explaining that she went
away for the weekend, and when she
came back, her stuffed donkey, the sym-
bol of the Democratic party, was gone.
In its place was a ransom note, but Balter
said she has no idea who took it.

Balter blamed her roommate for leav-
ing the door open, but added, “‘I think
it’s a joke . . .why would anyone want a
six inch stuffed donkey?’’

“If anyone sees it, bring it to the
ASP,”’ Balter said in closing.

SA Court appointments approved

By Morgan Lyle

Joshua Mandel and: Brendan Fox were
appointed to the Student Association’s
Supreme Court at the Central Council’s
meeting Wednesday night.

Also at the meeting, Caroline B. Zloth
was appointed to the position of Test Bank
manager, and SA funding for a new
humor magazine was approved.

“‘Joshua really impressed us,’’ said SA
President James Lamb. He said that
Mandel, a freshman, had a level of ex-
perience normally found in
upperclassmen.

Mandel, whose appointment was ap-
proved by a vote of 13-0 with one member
abstaining, said he spent the summer
following his sophomore year in high
school as an intern with the Suffolk Coun-
ty District Attorney’s Office, and was an
attorney and Supreme Court Judge at Nor-
thbrook High School.

“I have a love for law, and I’m very ex-
cited about the opportunity,’’ Mandel
said. He also said he is strongly in favor of
affirmative action.

Fox, a member of the SA Judicial Board
last year, was approved with a vote of
15-0.

Both judges were sworn in at the
meeting by Supreme Court Judge Dena
Feldman.

Zloth was praised by Alumni Quad
representative Kelly Bates as an “‘organiz-
ed person’? whose services could be
valuable to the Test Bank. |

“I have a lot of ideas for the Test BEank
and I’d like to put them to work,’ Zloth
told the Council. ‘‘It’s a great service for
the students. ’’

Zloth’s appointment passed by a vote of
15-0

SA also agreed to fund the first issue of

a new humor magazine by an organization -
called Humor, Inc. Finance committee

member Victor Civitillo said the group ap-

proached the Council’s Finance committee |

with a request for $1,100 for the
magazine’s first two issues.

*““We decided that we could probably be
able to put out a first issue with $300 from
SA,”’ said Bill Blaine, the magazine’s
editor.

_‘*We’re going to try and prove er st
with the first issue,’’ Blaine said.

Blaine said he had a petition with 600.
signatures of students in favor of funding
the magazine. Its content would be

“‘nothing that would cause any stress on
campus,”’ he said.

Three thousand copies of the magazine’s
first issue will be available next Wednes-
day, Blaine said. He added that students
who have seen parts of the magazine in its
pre-production stages have bee
impressed.

Blaine also said that SUNYA had a
humor magazine called the Lion 50 years
ago.

In other action Wednesday, the Council
agreed to provide funding for the women’s
soccer team to participate in the
NYSWCAA soccer championships on Oct.
24, 26,27 and post-season play at Skid-
more on Oct. 29 and 30.

Also approved were funding for the
women’s volleyball team to compete in the
New York State Championships at Hunter
College on Nov. 4 and 5, and for the
women’s cross-country ski team to com-
pete in teh ECAC tournament at SUNYA

Funding for all of the tournaments come
from the Council’s Intercollegiate Athletic
Committee Post Season Contingency Fund
and is only made available for qualifying

Candidate outlines congressional platform

By Colleen Deslaurier
NEWS EDITOR

_ Discussing his views on drugs and -
education, Democratic Congressional can-

didate Michael McNulty spoke in front of
about 40 SUNYA students Thursday.
The current administration has been
strongly lacking in the war against drugs,
according to McNulty. ‘‘You don’t win a
war on drugs by just saying ‘no’.”
McNulty suggested creating a cabinet
level drug officer that would report direct-

ly to the president about the drug

situation.

On .education, McNulty - stressed. his.

work with the Tuition Assistance Pro-
gram. In addition, he added he was highly
in favor of financial aid. As far as SUNY
itself is concerned, McNulty stated,‘‘I’ve
been very supportive of the SUNY budget
for a number of years.’’ -

McNulty explained it was important for
everyone to vote. ‘“‘The percentage of
young people voting has been somewhat
disappointing.’’ However, McNulty added
he thought this may change due to the re-
cent successful voter registration drives
conducted throughout the state.

After a short speech, McNulty fielded
questions from students. He asserted his
support for the state.of Israel. ‘‘It’s impor-

tant for the U.S. to protect the | pe eelig of

Israel.’’

McNulty voiced his opinion against the
death penalty. ‘‘In a humane society, the
death penalty is an imperfect solution.”’

In reference to his opponent, McNulty
said,‘‘I’m runnign against someone who
has never held a public office.’’

After reminding the students that

“‘promises by politicians are a dime a

dozen,’’ McNulty emphasized his own

record.

Michael McNulty

A graduate of Holy Cross College,
McNulty served for eight years as Super-
visor of Green Island, N.Y., five years as
mayor of Green Island, and five years in
the New York State Assembly.

McNulty was chair of an assembly sub-
committee on Transportation Capital Im-

' provements, Chair of Democratic study

group of New York State Assembly, a
member of the Board of Directors for the
Capital Region Technology Development
Council, and-a member of the New York
State Commission on the Bicentennial of
the United States Constitution.

Also the recipient of numerous awards,
McNulty has received the Friends of Law
Enforcement award from 25 thousand
Police Conference, the Vincentian Award
from St. Mary’s Hospital of Troy, and an
award for distinguished service for SUNY

The speech was sponsored by the
SUNYA Young Democrats. Co-President
Nelson Vargas said he was impressed with
the large turnout. ‘‘I wasn’t expecting as
many students to come,”’ he said.

Vargas added he thought McNulty made
a “very good impression with the people.”’

Election results fill Council vacancies

By Tim Devane |

Thirteen new Central Council represen-
tatives were elected at this week’s Student
Association elections. _

Central Council chair Shawn Thompson
said he felt a political ‘‘feeling in the air’’
on campus the past few days, which
possibly accounted for the unusually large
voter turnout.

Six off-campus representatives were
elected to Central Council: Keri Drabner
(140 votes), Julie Carrara (139), Dwayne
Wilkins (133), Brian Lowy (132), Nadya

_ Lawson (130), and Steve Duell (117).

The new State Quad representative is
sophomore Mark Slutzky, who expressed
1is desire to change State Quad’s image.

‘I want to get rid of apathy on State

Quad. That was my purpose for running,” :

Slutzky said.

State Quad had the lowest Voter turnout
of the five quads.

Alumni and Dutch quads elected two
representatives because of the two recent
resignations. David Novak resigned from
Alumni Quad and Sue Shusterman resign-
ed as Dutch Quad representative.

Paul Faulhaber and Amando Lambet
Jr. were chosen Alumni representative and
Robert Hsueh and Andrea Hoffer were
selected to represent Dutch.

Steve Jacobson was elected on Colonial.
Sophomore Melissa Zenon, who was
elected on Indian Quad, said she felt her
vigorous campaigning was the difference
in her election.

“I did a lot of postering the past week,
and I went door to door, talking with peo-
ple and getting their ideas,’ Zenon said.

In addition to the Central Council elec-
tions, 16 members were chosen to repre-
sent the freshman class council.

This year there was a lack of candidates
for Class Council and therefore was
almost no opposition amongst the
candidates.

However, the elected members are look-

_ ing forward to getting involved in SUNYA

politics.

“I’m excited about serving for the
students here at Albany,’’ said newly
elected class council member Michael
Brodack. : CJ

Monday. That final pass that Phil Simms
threw was worth 100 bucks.’’ He would
not reveal the identity of who the bet was
placed with, but did say he was not a
student.

The appearance of gamblers on
SUNYA’s campus takes on the form of a
circle. A pattern exists whereby one circle
is part of another circle, which is part of
yet another. ‘‘I only gamble with my
friends,’’ the second Junior said.

The greatest issue of student gambling is
the money that is involved.

‘‘Last semester I won about 80 percent
of the time. By the end of the year I was up
about $1000,” Filberbaum said.

“It gets you crazy, you get so into it you

lost $100 one night, but you don’t hesitate ©

to put down another $100 the next night,”’
a third junior said.

“Yes, I guess you could say it was my
parents money. If they ever found out
they’d kill me — that’s why I don’t want to
be identified,’’ the first junior said.

What students go to a game with and
what they are willing to spend are two en-
tirely differnt things. The line of credit bet-
ween friends goes far beyond their
pockets, according to the third junior.

Students said they are playing for the
chance and the excitement, and not for the
money. ‘‘I gamble just to pass the time,
it’s exciting. I love when your heart is
beating and the horse is coming around the
final corner. I thrive on it,”’ the first junior
said.

Livingston did not associate student
gambling with a problem but rather ‘‘an
external element that could lead to a
criminal element.’ Students felt that

gambling is a problem if you have it under
control.

‘I’ve seen undergraduates spending
time playing cards,’’ Livingston said. ‘‘I
don’t know if gambling was going on. I
always thought it was a waste of time, and

it was for those students who were in one

semester and out the next.”

‘*It’s imperative that people realize this
is not a problem that goes away. It
escaleates if you ignore it,’’ Rose said.

-**The first step is to admit that you have a

problem.”’ C)

Affirm. action officer emphasizes safety concern

By Gregory Kersh

While the Affirmative Action Officer may have many
responsiblities, including working for equal representa-
tion, safety, counseling, and education, Leslie Massiah is
confident that she can handel them all.

Massiah was named Affirmative Action Officer of the
Student Association on September 28.

Although her parents are orginally from Guyana,
Africa, Massiah was born in Washingtn, D.C. At the age
of three she moved to Guyana with her parents and
brother, where she lived for a year. She returned to the
Bronx, where she currently resides.

Massiah, who was active the debate team at Cardinal
Spellman High school, is double majoring in political
science and communications. She said she hopes to go to
New York University Law School after
graduation in May.
~ “TI came to Albany because it was a
great compromise. It’s an excellent
school and not overpriced. Here I get
the same education as I would get at
Cornell, NYU, or Boston University,’’ Massiah said.
Noting SUNYA’s diversity, Massiah added that she was
attracted to the many people and the many different
cultural organizations.

‘‘My involvement with the Student Assocation was an
accident,’’ Massiah said. She explained that while writ-
ting for the Student Voice, she was interviewed at a USSA
conference. ‘‘There, I spoke with Paco Duarte (SA presi-
dent at the time) and Mark Turner, who was the Minority
Affairs Coordinator at the time. Mark and I talked and I
soon sound myself involved with the affairs of his
office.’

“I applied for the Affirmative Action officer position

last year, but it was given to George Serrano,’’ she con-
tinued. “I worked with George as his assistant and was
appointed to the position this year.’’

As Affirmative Action Officer, Massiah is in charge of

interviewing students who seek postions in SA. These
positions range form the food co-op to the Supreme:

Court to the University Auxillary Service Board of Direc-
tors, she said. Massiah makes sure that students are asked
fair questions in their interviews and makes sure they
have not biases which would affect their actions in the

. postions they seek. Massiah also said she makes sure there

is equal representation for all students on the campus,

and that people are qualified for the jobs they apply for.
She confers with SA president James Lamb on these ap-
pointments, which are ultimately made by Lamb.

Massiah expressed concerns with safety issues on this
campus. ‘‘Crimes such as rape and sexual harassment are
very disturbing to me. Most rapes do not occur between
strangers, but where the victim. and attacker know each
other. I would somehow like to provide more support for
the victims of these crimes, for it is up to them to pro-
secute,’’ she said.

Massiah mentioned interest in strengthing the Don’t
Walk Along program. ‘‘I don’t feel enough people are
participating in it.’’ She said that one way to attract par-

ticpation in the program might be to make it a work-
study-program where students are permitted to study
while they’re on duty.

Massiah states she is also working to strengthen the
Middel Earth program on campus. “‘I would like to set up
a network system between Middle Earth, this office, and
community centers here in Albany,’’ she said. ‘‘Middle
Earth is very limited right now. If Middle Earth can’t help
certain people, I would like to make it so others can.”’
Stating that students should have somewhere to go with
their specific problems, she is presently working with
Regina Williams, one of the coordinators of Middle
Earth, to help expand it. .

Massiah is also in charge of two educational workshops.
that will be run once each semester this year. ‘‘The pur-

_ pose of those workshops is to give students a form of lear-

ning about themselves and each other. Many students
come here, get too involved with their studies, and have

‘trouble interracting with people. These workshops help

them do this.”’

According to Massiah, another one of the project she is
working on is to establish a SUNYA Grievance Board.
‘“‘Ths board would be made up of people representing ma-
jor groups on this campus. It would be a body that would
hear cases of racial and sexual discrimination. The board
would listen to both sides, investigate the case, and set up
a recommendation as to what should be done,”’’ she said.

Adding that the board was still in the planning stages, .

‘Massiah stated that she would like to coordinate this

board and make sure that as few as possible cases are
brought before it.

‘‘Leslie is very strong, and very moral. When she acts,

she acts knowing the repercussions of it,’’ Messiah said

when asked about herself. ‘‘She tries to be as open as
possible and at the same time, as firm as possible. I guess

‘she’s a person of contrast.’’

According to Massiah, the Affirmative Action Officer
was not that strong until last year. ‘‘I would like to
strengthen the foundations of this office so that when I
leave, anyone who follows will have a good format to
work with.”’ y

‘‘To students who have any problems with racial, sex-
ual, or any kind of discrimination, my office is open to
you. Affirmative Action is for everybody who might have
been discrimnated against at one point in their lives,’’
Massiah concluded. . a & *

Parental alcohol problems follow children in life

By David Jenkins
Jon is up before Judicial Board

for the third time this year.

Heavily into drugs and usually
drunk on the weekends, his latest
troubles stem from a belligerant
refusal to cooperate with a
University Police officer.

Sarah just got elected president
of her sorority because of her
leadership capabilities, but it was
a close election because some of

her sisters can’t stand the way she
bossses everyone around, makes
decisions for everone else, and ex-
pects perfection from everone just
because she has a 3.90 GPA.
Matt lives in the single down in
the corner suite s
at the end of the Middle
hall. Sometimes
you see him Earth
alone in the
hall, but when Roots
he’s wih a group, its alomst like
he’s invisible. He always looks
sad and almost like he’s afraid of
everyone and everything.
Carla is great with jokes. No
matter how bad the situation, she
can make anyone laugh especially
with those one-liners. Although
her housemates don’t really take
her seriously, she has always been
able to ‘‘con’’ the landlord when
they were late with their rent.
What do all four of these
students have in common? They
are all children of alcoholics —

COA’s whose lives have been

shaped by an illneess. Not an il-

‘Iness that affects body organs,

but one which affects families;
that causes
unreasonably angry at those they
most love an robbed them (and
about 34 million other people in
this country today) of their
childhood. This illness is called
Co-dependency.

Eleanor Williams from
Peachtree Hospital in Atlanta
defines it as ‘‘Unconscious addic-
tion to another person’s dysfunc-
tional behavior.’’ Janet Woititz,
one of the founders of teh COA

movement, puts it more simply as.

‘“‘Putting other people’s needs
before my own.”’

Imagine a child who grows up
in a chaotic house, rides around
with a drunk driver, and then has
no-one to talk to about theterror.
One friend recently said, “‘I grew
up in a little Vietnam, I didn’t
know why I was there, I didn’t
even know who the enemy was.”’
And this is apparently a problem
for lots of people. In our Albany
low-rise halls, an average of 25 to
30 residents grew up in a family
system affected by addiction.
Sometimes it. was the grand-
parents who had the addiction.
Their children became co-

depandent and then passed it on_

the the third generation.

‘ way. We may move 10,000 miles

But, you think, what’s the big
deal; these people always grow
up, move away, and leave all this
behind them . Unfortunately it
doesn’t seem to work out that

away, and the alcoholic or addict
may die, but without treatment,
out dysfunctional coping
behavior doesn’t go away. These
coping behaviors were very
helpful when we were living in the
midst of turmoil, uncertainty, in-
stability, broken promises, fights
and underserved criticism. They
helped us deal with the loss of
love, security, guidance, trust,
nurturance, and with parents who
never seemed to be there for us
emotionally. And as Claudia
Black, another leader in the COA
movement explains, we learned
some very basic rules: Don’t talk.
Don’t trust. Don’t feel.

Ask a COA how she/he feels
and you'll always hear ‘‘Fine.’’
The central facts of an alcoholic
family are secrecy and denial.
Long ago we learned not to reveal
anything that could be knocked
down, spoiled, jumped on, or
held against us. COA’s grow up
in fearful and insecure trust our
parents to come through for us,
how can we trust anyone? And we
learned to keep our feelings to
ourselves; fairly soon to keep our
feelings from SS Feelings

POGOS SOS OS SSS

SOSOSHSSH9HS$SSSS

(good as well as bad) seem literal-
ly overwhelming. So as a result of
these unspoken rules, we find it
almost impossible to acknowledge
our personal needs, or to focus on
ourselves as objects of love. Our
lack of self-worth won’t alow us
to ‘‘impose’’ on others or rist be-
ing viewed as vulnerable.

How then do we cope? Some of
us rebel, impulsively angry and
out of control. We serve the
familiy as a scapegoat, taking the
blame on ourselves and keeping
the focus of attention away from
the family’s real problem. Jon
became a scapegoat.

Some of us (often the oldest
child) become the family hero
who takes charge. Controlled,

_ controlling, perfectionistic, feel-

ing responsible for everything,
workaholic and unable to relax,
Sarah became a hero. B

Some of us found the easiest
way to manage was to learn how
to become invisible, even when
physically present. We fade out of
the scene, withdrawing and fan-
tasizing. The lost child tends to be
fearful and sad. Matt became a
lost child.

And some relieve tension in the.

family by making everyone laugh
when things get bad. The clown
or mascot gets away with murder
but isn’t taken seriously by
others. Carla became a mascot.

The problem with these coping
behaviors, once we get out into
the ‘“‘normal’’ world, is that in-
stead of helping us, they actually
get in the way and interfere with
productive living. Our compul-
sions drive others crazy, our rela-
tionships are based on control, we
can’t trust other people, we are
not taken seriously, we don’t love
ourselves and so we never learn
how to love others.

Fortunately for those who suf-
fer for the illness of co-
dependency, there is recovery.
Adult Children of Alcoholics
(ACOA) is a growing movement
based on the twelve-step recovery
programs which began with
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
AA also offers lots of help with
co-dependency issues, and many
counseling services have added
COA groups. Here at the Univer-
sity, nearby AA meetings on
Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Margaret
Mary Church Hall across from

ShopRote, and at noon on Thurs-

day at Christ Lutheran opposite
Stuvysant Plaza. For those who
wish counseling, the University

Counseling Center (5800) and

Middle Earth (5777) are prepared
to help. Other counseling
recourses, and recovery group
meeting information may be ob-
tained by calling Middle Earth. 0

SUNY enrollment on the rise

By Tracey J. Bolotnick

A trend showing a steady rise in
application to the State University
of New York has become ap-
parent at SUNYA, as well as
other University Centers.

At SUNYA alone, the admis-
sions office has witnessed an in-
crease of 2,000 applications from
the fall of ’87 to the fall of ’88. In
the fall of ’88, over 17,000

students applied, as opposed to .
over 15,000 in the fall of ’87. The —
same statistics are reflected in .

SUNY schools such as Binghamp-
ton, Buffalo and Stonybrook.
The statistics office at SUNY
Buffalo said that 17,169 applica-
tions were received in the fall of
1988, an increase over the 15,869

applications received in the fall of

1987. In 1986, 14,788 applications
were handed in. :

Fred. Brooks, Assistant Vice
President at SUNY Binghampton
said 16,087 applications were
received this fall — an increase
over the 14,537 applications that
Binghampton received last year,
and a greater increase over the

13,075 applications received in
1986.

Although the recruiting tactics
at SUNY schools have not chang-

‘ed, one Binghampton student of-

fered an explanation for the in-
creases. ‘‘I didn’t even bother to
apply to any expensive private
schools. I couldn’t afford their
high tuition fees anyway,’’

freshman Mark Cusa said.

Tuition costs are playing a role
in the increase in applications.

According to the SUNYA depart- -

ment of Institutional Research,
the quality of education at public
schools is becoming more widely
perceived as equal to that of
public schools, regardless of the
significant price difference.
Another advantage of public
higher institutions was pointed
out by SUNYA junior Jason
Wilson. ‘‘I was thinking of
transfering to Cornell, but I’ve

- heard that the students there are

really competitive. The at-
mosphere here seems much more

laid back,’’ Wilson said.
The increase in applications has
also been apparent at SUNY

ter excessive discussion and planning;

this: Fall the University finally opened its
group of apartment-like residence halls.

Located just across from the University,
off Fuller Road, Freedom Campus, as it is
often called, has recently been the center
of much debate.

When Central Council Chair Shawn
Thompson introduced two simple bills
into Council, it is almost certain that few
expected them to be as problematic as they
have been made to seem.

_ The Student Association Constitution
states that there will be one Council
representative alloted to every 300
students, or a whole number thereof.

Therefore, it seemed to follow naturally
that the new group of residence halls
would receive their rightful
representation. Think again.

Not only was the first bill, proposing
‘‘That Freedom ‘Quad’ be recognized by
the Student Association as the sixth quad
at the University of Albany,’’ vetoed by
SA President James Lamb, but the

second, proposing representation, was

vetoed as well.

Most definitely, these bills were not
simply thought up and scribbled down off
the top of someone’s head. However, they
were treated as such by Lamb, who waited
until the thirteenth hour to veto both bills.

The fact that Freedom Quad, a
University constructed and run residence
which houses, at last count, 171
undergraduate students, was almost
denied the right to representation by the
president of SA is shocking. Thankfully,
the built-in system of checks and balances
afforded Council the opportunity to
override Lamb’s vetoes at Wednesday
night’s meeting.

The questions remain, however, of why -

Lamb vetoed the bills, and why he waited
so long to do so,- knowing full well-the
hazardous effects it would have on the
Tuesday-Wednesday elections.

_ Lamb has promised Council members
his explanation of the vetoes by the end of
this week. It will be interesting to see how

far Lamb will go in order to present his

‘good intentions.’ Nonetheless, it must be

‘kept in mind that the ‘constituents’ have

yet to hear from Lamb, thus no one

actually knows all of the reasoning behind .

his decision.

In recent articles, Lamb has expressed

some dissatisfaction in regard to his
opportunities to voice his opinions during
Council meetings. geet

The occasion of these Freedom Quad
bills is one instance of his voicing
dissatisfaction. Additionally, within
Council, the unanimous override of the
first bill and the near unanimous of the

second further stresses the importance of
the two bills. :

Therefore, in light of this, it logically

follows that this veto was Lamb’s way of

‘getting back’ at Council. This type of
spiteful behavior not only hinders an
organization’s ability to function, but its
ability to function properly and
effectively.

While Lamb insists that he

wholeheartedly supports the notion that
Freedom Quad deserves representation,
the fact that he could use this issue to his
advantage (and to the disadvantage of

others), ought to alert those who are

represented and who seemingly don’t have

to worry that perhaps our dear Mr.

President isn’t always looking out for
anyone but himself. -

The residents of Freedom Quad deserve
both recognition and representation as
much as any other quad. And, perhaps

when Lamb offers up his reasons for the

veto, the whole episode won’t seem so
much as if it was all done out of spite.
However, only time will tell.

Educational Inflation

When 5-year-old Jane starts kindergarten this fall at a
local public school, her parents’ cash outlay will be
relatively modest. They might need to spend a couple of
dollars for a box of crayons, a few more for an art smock,
and an occasional dollar here and there for a field trip of
special event.

Robert H. Koff |

But Jane’s parents, being farsighted and concerned
about their daughter’s education, know that all too soon
she’ll be ready for college. Prudent parents that they are,
they’re socking away money every month in a special ac-
count for Jane.

Chances are, however, that it won’t be enough.

Chances are, if current trends continue, that by the.

year 2,000 four years at a state college will cost Jane’s
parents $100,000. If she opts for an independent college
or university, the bill will top $300,000.

That kind of price tag would put college beyond the
reach of all but the most affluent families. It’s a figure
projected from the cold, hard realities of college costs in

the 1980’s, where tuition has outstripped inflation by
- more than 74 percent. The projection of a $100,000 bill

for college casts a frightening shadow in a country com-
mitted to equal educational opportunity and a strong, ac-
cessible system of post-secondary education.

Both presidential candidates have fastened upon educa-
tion as a significant issue. Indeed, a whole gamut of con-
cerns related to children’s welfare has drawn scattershot
attention in the early days of campaigning. Pre-
kindergarten education and extended daycare, for in-
stance, are issues whose time hascome. —_

‘But the candidates, and their counterparts at state and
local levels, will need to do more than philosophize about
the importance of family and education. Specifics are
needed. Keeping a college education affordable should be
a priority among those who believe that our future
economic security as a democratic nation is dependent
upon our ability to educate all our citizens.

A forum held recently at The Brooking Institution, a
respected non-partisan think-tank in Washington D.C.,
brought the crisis into focus for participants, who includ-
ed college and university officials; federal and state
policymakers, economists and policy analysts; associa-
tion and foundation representatives; and the media. The
forum made it clear that college is rapidly becoming an

era of the College Crush. Enrollments in U.S. colleges
and universities increased nearly fourfold beginning in
1950, with spending and revenues increasing nearly ten-
fold in constant dollars. Although annual tuition in-

creases averaged a point or two ahead of inflation during

the college boom times, they were neatly tracked with in-

~ creases in family income, keeping college affordable. Stu-

dent aid programs thrived. The baby boom swelled
enrollments.

The 1980’s, by contrast, represent the era of the Col-
lege Crunch. Tuition charges have risen much more
rapidly than inflation or growth in family income. The
Brooking Institution reports that between 1980-81 and
1986-87, tuition and fees at public institutions went up 74
percent. The increase at private institutions was 78 per-
cent. These increases were more than twice the rate of
inflation.

This fall college tuition will rise an average of 7 per-
cent. According to the College Board, students at four-

year public colleges and universities will pay an average of

$1,566 for tuition and other fees while students enrolled
at four-year private institutions will pay $7,693.

In the recent past the federal government, colleges and
universities have encouraged students and parents to bor-
row money to pay college costs. According to a recent
American Council on Education survey, 43 percent of the
graduating class of 1984 owed money for school expenses
when they graduated. The average debt was $5,470 each.
A year later, those graduates earning $18,200 annually at
full-time jobs had to devote about 4 percent of their

salaries to retiring their debts. For borrowers who

graduated from college last year, the average debt loan is
estimated to be $7,480, an increase of over 25 percent in
just three years. ;

_ Meanwhile, the baby boom has gone bust. The 1980's
through the 1990’s will witness a 20 percent decline in the

pool of potential college students. College enrollments: by

minorities, who had been making gains, stalled or even
declined in the 1980’s. Yet funds available for student

_ financial aid cannot keep pace with the demand for it.

Clearly the cost of a four year college education is
rapidly becoming a policy issue of significant propot
tions. Why are tuition costs increasing at such a rapid
rate?-» :

I've been recently reminded of the “tale of the flavored suntan lotion”
and just can’t seem to erase it from my memory.

] was in eighth grade, shy, reserved, timid, and of the most innocent
sort. Consequently, I was also easily embarrassed. For my social studies
class, I had to create a product and devise an advertising campaign to
promote it. It was one of those projects assigned in September but not
due until June — the kind that gets weighed heavily in terms of grading.

So, being the eager student that I was, I was determined to create
something monumental, something so extraordinarily ingenius and out-of-
the ordinary, that I let the idea mull for months. And while my friends
and classmates discussed the makings of their silly little “invented”
gadgets and trinkets, I procrastinated further. I was set to impress — I
wanted to create something different — something to be revered for.

But since the creative juices didn’t flow as I had hoped they would,
suddenly it was Spring and I had still not come up with anything worthy
of considering.

Finally one day on the beach I was inspired. Sickened by the horrible
smell of my suntan lotion, I “saw the light.” Coppertone may be cool for
skin protection, but the smell is not cool. Someone near me had the only
alternative to the generic smell glopped on her bod: the lovely scent of
artificial coconut. The smell is nauseating, so I decided to “invent” an:
option for those concerned with skin care and smelling- ok.

Blueberry, strawberry, rasberry, fruit punch, bubblegum, cantalope — |
thought of every conceiveable scent for those as dissatisfied as myself. It
would be neat — sunbathers would have a choice of lots of “lucious” (a
word I used in my report) scents from which to chose. I was set. But
having come up with the idea, I further procrastinated the pee
writing of the project until the night before. a

Way past my bed-time I stayed up to complete the ateament and as «
pressed for time as I was, I handed in my first draft as my final draft and
didn’t even bother to proof-read it. Thoroughly convinced that I‘d get the
“A” and impress them all, I handed it in with a minor error that, let’s just
say caused some confusion. : ae

Each project was graded and analyzed by both of the teachers (we were a
class of 60 or so) and then a conference was to be set to discuss the project.
I sat in the back of the classroom, away from the center of attention, but
when Mr. Festa called upon me to clarify something from my project, the
world was there to see and laugh. ,

“Stefanie,” he said, in a tone that meant something was s definitely wrong.
“What do you plan to do with this product of. yours?”

Well, as we were expected to, I had hoped to sell it, but my reepauee was
typically meek. “I don’t know,” I replied.

Mr. Festa then laughed. “She doesn’t know,” he echoed, and the blood
rushed to my face.

“She made a flavored suntan lotion!,” Mr. Festa announced to my peers,
who were all gazing my way. “Come up here,” he said. “ want to know
what you planned on doing with this.

Needless to say, I was mortified. Apparently I had inadvertantly (really!)
written the word “flavor” in the place of “scent,” thus presenting a rather
erotic product for my eighth grade project. Ooops. The walk to the front of

_ that classroom was like hell. And explaining that it was a mistake was
impossible. My image was tainted, and my shell broken.

Every year on the first day of school, I’m told, Mr. Festa tells the tale of
the “flavored suntan lotion” to his fresh young eighth graders, and a few

| years ago | popped i in for a visit to my old junior high school to find that

the students did, in fact, know who I was. S

Aspects 3a

Imagine carries the weight

“Boy you’re gonna carry that
weight/carry that weight a long
ime...

na scene from Imagine: John Len-

| non, at Littenhurst, Lennon’s
English estate, the post-Beatles Len-

non is shown conversing with a dazed and
pestering fan who is convinced that the
music was meant to personally touch him.

Stef McDonald

“I'm just a guy, man, who writes songs,”
Lennon insists. “I was just having fun with
words.”

Lennon, in his own mind, may have

been “just a guy” who wrote songs, but as a

Beatle, that fun with words reaped
monumental results — the basis for an un-
prescedented and yet to be matched
musical upheaval known to most as “the
Beatles invasion.” Regardless of whether

_Lennon solicited (or even wanted) it, quite

a weight was left for him to carry. Now
eight years after his tragic death, it’s evi-
dent that another of his verses — “They're
gonna crucify me” — has taken on a pro-
phetic meaning, at least in terms of the
public and their probing of Lennon.
Lennon is, and has been, the focus of a
media barrage that digs, presumes, judges,
and fabricates. In Imagine, a reporter points
out that Lennon was known as the most
“way-out of the Beatles”, but the film

- opens with Lennon saying, “I cannot be

what I'm not.” While the subject of what
Lennon was or was not has been the object
of many a media focus, what Imagine.
presents may very well be the first account
of what Lennon really was.

A documentary on the life of Lennon
gleaned from over 100 hours of interviews
with Lennon and over 200 hours of film
and video tape, Imagine is narrated by Len-
non himself with a little help. from his
music. The result is as sensitive and honest
a presentation of his life and its’ many
facets, to date. Neither muckraking nor

hero-worshipping, Imagine is rather a pot-
trait of John Lennon that leaves judgement
to the discretion of the viewer.

Here there is no denial of drug use, no

~ denial of his affair with May Pang, no

denial of the rough Beatles days, and no at-
tempts to portray Lennon as a saint. There
is, instead, a personal surveylance of Len-
nons’ years as a Beatle, as one of the most

‘creative musicians of his time, and as a —

man, or as he said himself, “just a guy.”

_ Imagine anchors its’ focus at Littenhurst,
where Lennon spent many of his post-
Beatles days with Yoko, and where
“Imagine” came into being. It is here that
John narrates much of the film, between

_ his Beatle past, his present with Yoko, and
his ironic hope for the future. Combined
with the film’s close dependency on the

Tainted Lives of Lennon

o pick up The Lives of John Lennon
or expecting to find an intimate por-

trait of the man is expecting a bit
too much. What's found in Albert
Goldman’s controversial biography of Len-
non is a work that digs ruthlessly into Len-
non’s life, painting a grim picture of a
talent many consider to be a legend.

Mark Allen

The book, all 719 pages of it, takes the
reader through Lennon's childhood,
Beatlehood, manhood, and parenthood up
until his untimely death in 1980. But it’s
perspective is muckraking, and most of his
“sources” have protested Goldman's inter-
pretations. Goldman wrote this book using
the same sort of sensationalized journalism
as with his two previous biographies,
Ladies and Gentlemen. . . Lenny Bruce and
Elvis, using his usual tabloid discretion to
dig deep, uncover the dirt, and then
display it in headlines that can’t even be
trusted.

Beginning in Lennon’s apartment in the

Dakota in December of 1979, Goldman,

whose main concern is not to expose the
true lives of John Lennon, wastes no time
and pulls no punches in exploiting the side
of Lennon's life that the public never
knew. In the first chapter alone, the reader
is subjected to vivid images of Lennon the
addict, getting high and, even more vivid-
ly, retching out his insides. There is also the
introduction to Lennon the anorexic,
described as a “bag of bones” — his anorex-
ia linked to the labelling of him in 1965 as
“the fat Beatle.” Next we are introduced to
Lennon the recluse. At the point in Len-
non’s life that Goldman details, Lennon has
been confined to his room and bed for the

| length of three years. :
The book continues in this fashion, il- —
lustrating Lennon in a very dark light.

After the first chapter, the reader follows

through Lennon’s life from the time of his

birth in World War II Liverpool, and of his
unstable and parentless childhood where
he was raised by his Aunt Mimi. From

there, Goldman takes us to the birth of the -
Beatles, where he spares no details in

describing the drug-infested, woman-

infested romps through England and Red- '

light Germany.
Goldman’s alarming story of Lennon's
relationship with manager Brian Epstein is

another life that Goldman sketches: the

homosexual Lennon. According to
Goldman, Epstein, a known homosexual,

‘and Lennon took a short holiday together

THE LIVES O

3

in Spain during which the two had a sexual
encounter, and he goes on to say that their
relationship continued until Epstein’s death .
in 1967. .

As the book continues, Goldman

_ elaborates on Lennon’s retreat into drugs,

and the introduction to the woman that
would change his life, Yoko Ono. Ono,
Goldman writes, took over Lennon’s life as
his lover and also as the mother figure Len-
non never had. He portrays Ono as a
dragon lady, as a manipulative figure who
took Lennon’s life, turned it upside down,
and was the primary reason for the Beatles’
demise.
Lennon the father is the next life
Goldman goes into. Goldman presents
Lennon as irresponsible and ambivilant. He
describes Sean as a four year old still in
diapers, with rotten teeth as a result of be-
ing bottle fed. It’s revealed that the only
way Sean can get any attention from his
father is by creeping up to him like a cat, |
for Sean knows that the cat is one of his
father’s favorite pets. It is also written that
Lennon’s first son, Julian, freezes from fear

_in his father’s presence.

So, from every side and every angle,
Goldman offers the reader a different Len-
non, one that underneath his cynical hard
shell is crying for help and offerring his af-
fection to whoever wants it most. Only the
darkest aspects of Lennon are presented as
truth, while all of the good has been vir-
tually ignored. Goldman has shamelessly
engaged in the lowest form of cowardice

by once again trying to cash in on a celebri-

ty who in no way can defend himself.
What he has ultimately done is forage

through a garden of roses only to pick out

the weeds for all the world to see and
blindly believe. oO

documentary biographies is sustained. A
scene of Lennon speaking intimately about
his mother, for instance, feeds into live
footage of his Live in NYC show for a ren-

dition of “Mother,” and a scene of the

Beatles doing “Revolution” precedes a
focus on Lennon and his socio-impact.
Likewise, scenes of John and Yoko
together correlate to “The Ballad of John
and Yoko,” and Pollowing Lennon’s hiatus
with Yoko, a very tasteful love-making
scene between the two is presented with
the song “Woman,” which glides directly
into scenes with their son, Sean. The Lit-
tenhurst estate, as a bridge between the
jumps in time, lends to the cohesiveness of
the production, and the music (the sound-
track is available on Capital Records) holds

‘it all together.

To compliment the music and personal
narration, much of the footage is stunning,
particularly the father/son scenes of John
and Sean accompanied by Lennon's
“Beautiful Boy.” The frenzy of the Fab
Four days is captured as well, with reminis-
cent clips of the band on stage, before the
press, and of John reflecting on how it was
“like being in the eye of a hurricaine.”

As it was the basis for this ceaseless
media barrage, Lennon’s love-hate relation-
ship with the press is documented, from
the arrogance of his “We're more popular
than Jesus” statement, to the bed-in promo-
tion for “Give Peace a Chance” that Len-
non termed an “advertising campaign for

peace.”

For extra insight, recent interviews with
Ono, Lennon’s first wife Cynthia, his sons
Julian and Sean, reporter and friend Ellito
Mintz and producer George Martin are
spread throughout, adding to Lennon's
own narration. And as Lennon’s life and
death warranted such, there are subtle
undercurrents of irony to be found — in
both the scene showing Lennon with a fan
letter predicting his death, and the segment

on the short-lived comeback of “Starting

Over,” matched with scenes of John and
Yoko strolling through Central Park. “Let's
try to make the eighties good,” John said.

Imagine is not a canonization of Lennon,
but rather a film that might best be describ-
ed as a celebratory perusal through a com-
plete photo album, with captions and

4a Aspects

The end of an Era of blow-o:

As November rolls near, and the
White House is being vacated for
another (p)resident, it’s time to bid our

farewells to Ronald Reagan and reflect

on, not what Reagan did for American
culture during his eight year reign, but
what developed despite his residency
at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. From
contra-aid to AIDS, sex scandals to safe
sex, it’s been a pretty generic but in-
teresting eight years. And how will
our culture be recounted in yet to be
written history textbooks? What will
we tell our children of “the good ‘ol

tays?. ©.

A recent pamphlet on the prevention of
sexually transmitted a s) gave
the following advice:

“Never use a condom twice.”

Great advice. This is no joke, it really said
this. Now ask yourself this question:

Would you really take a used rubber
and put it back on(especially if you weren't
the one who wore it the first time)? —

Brian Hartstein

The eighties has been typified by a new
catch phrase — safe sex. We as a generation
cannot avoid it. The media bomabards us
with horror story upon horror story of peo-
ple who took sexual chances and are now
either dead or dying. Why? Because they

did not, or their partner did not, wear a _

condom. °

The eighties(or AJIDSies) has been a
decade no less frightening than when polio

_ ran rampant in the forties and fifties. Ac-
quired Immune Deficiency Syn-
drome(AIDS) has scared the shit out of
most everyone. Unfortunately, there are
still those schmucks out there that believe it
can’t happen to them. Well they‘re wrong.
We have all heard that AIDS is not just a
gay or an intravenous drug user's disease,

_= Stef McBlonaid’-

“J or give me death —
Wey Ms ae Py)

yet people refuse to believe it.
- It's easy to understand where they are
coming from because no one wants to

believe it, but in the eighties, ignorance(and

though it’s redundant to say) is just plain
stupid.

Let’s be honest. THE EIGHTIES SUCK!
Having fun is a term no longer heard. Gone —

are the sixties, days of free love and free

sex, yet we continue to wear tie-dyes(why

not ditch the tie-dyes and bring back free
love and sex!) College campuses like our
own think they are oh-so-hip by putting
condom machines on campus. Now they
should tell us just where it is that they put

- them. And who would want a campus con-

dom anyway?

Sexually, the eighties have oes ten
giant steps back to the 1630's. Come to
think of it, the Puritans probably had more
sexual freedom. But on the up-side of
things, monogamy is in again. While it

_ would be foolish to think that everyone is ©

doing that one-on-one thing, at least it
seems that more people are looking for
satisfaction beyond a danish, a cup of cof-
fee, and cab fare in the morning.

Sex is not just something you can say
“no” to(just ask Nancy Reagan), but being
protected is something we all must say
“yes” to. So remember, when you leave the

‘house and your mom tells you to wear

your rubbers, she’s not talking about

galoshes. — O .

A decade t

Our parents and grandparents constantly
hark on the “good ole’ days,” and in twenty
years from now, the 80’s for us will be our
good ole’ days. We have spent eight of the
most formative growing years of our lives
in this decade, but what trends, fads and
fashions do we have to show for it?

Peter LaMassa

The 50’s and 60’s introduced us to Poo-
dle skirts, cars with fins, bobby sox, Nehru
jackets, free love and Elvis. The 70’s
brought streaking, “Peace, man,” Saturday
Night Live, and (see any episodes of the old
Dating Game lately?) wide collars, and bell
bottoms.

Now it’s 1988, the end of the Reagan era,
and we're all standing around listening to
Tiffany attempt to remake Beatle’s tunes,
wearing tye dyes, and. debating over the
question: “Ts Elvis alive?” Is this progress?

Why has this happened? There are two

possible explanations:
_ The Baby Boomer Theory: All the kids
who were born about nine months after the
end of WWII are the only generation to ac-
tually have a name of their own — the
Baby Boomers. As this group came of age,
they got a lot of attention from the media,
and they eventually became a large part of
another group: The Yuppies. This spoiled
bunch have gotten a Trivial Pursuit edition
named after them, an inane prime time ©
television program based on them (Thir-
tySomething), and countless trivia shows
produced so that they can look smart
answering questions about The Mickey
Mouse Club. A generation living in it’s past
has taken over the 80s.

Reagan terms have forced American
creativity to wane so we began to churn
out pathetic sequels like Rambo III, Jaws IV,
Caddyshack II and half a dozen Friday the

13th thrillers, in addition to the other
countless remakes and rehashes?! It might

be that the people who set America’s trends
thought that a Reagan repeat indicated that
we wanted a re-run in everything else in
our lives, as well.

This brings us to the question that our
children will ask us in twenty years or so.

Truthfully, the best answer that I can
come up with is the party lines, rap lines,
teen lines, love lines, and luck lines brought
to us by modern technology and the

This year may mark bedtime for Bonzo,
but there were certainly others having fun
in the bedroom during the Reagan era.

Sure, Reagan advocated Prayer in the
- Schools, but what about sex in the chur-

ches? Sure, Ron used the Springsteen song

“Born in the U.S.A” to punctuate his cam- ©

paigns, but, hey — that wasn’t Bruce's wife
he was kissing in his underwear, was it?

Tracy Zamot

We won't call the Reagan era one mark-
ed by hypocrisy or lies, but rather one full
of moral inconsistencies. The eighties began
with a President who was easily the most
conservative leader this country had seen in
a decade, stressing the importance of family
values, the church, and basically, apple pie
and chevrolets. This, however, was before

| the undressing and centerfolding of
_ America.

In these past eight years, there weren't

formers who gave their talents to help

posed in a different light — a

photographer's light. The nude Madonna

photos made the rounds of every skin mag _

What could be more “apple pie” than the

of buying a vowel, more people were buy-

At this point it would be easy to criticize

Not bad for a “virgin” church secretary.

The other evangelists were just as busy
during the Reagan terms as well. All that
preaching must have been enough to make
them want to drug and rape a church
secretary, or say, rent a room with two pro-
stitutes. It's just in a days work, under the
policy of renewed faith in the church,
stronger family ties, and upholding morali-
ty in America. .

Today Today pedals into tomorrow

o what exactly is a Pedaljet

anyway? Ask anyone from Kansas

City, Nashville or college radio,
and they'll tell you about a “psychedelic
punk band with heavy driving guitar
crunch.”

Tracy Zamot

Ask this band the same question and
drummer Rob Morrow will answer,
without missing a beat, “A toy. The
predecessor to the Big Wheel. A little toy
jet Matt [the band’s bassist] had that you
could pedal around your driveway.” And
what of the labels of “psychedelic punk”
and the like? “Where's that coming from?,”
asks Morrow, with a laugh, “We're just a
rock-n-roll band.”

Just a rock-n-roll band? Hardly. With a
big, rather than “crunchy,” guitar sound
reminiscent of the Replacements or Husker

Du, the Pedaljets carry off a rock-n-roll’

sound on their first album, Today Today
better than most recent bands ever could.

The Pedaljets pride themselves on being
a live band — “It’s what we do best,” Mor-

row said — and with the energy level they —

produce on the album, you can believe it.
Morrow’s favorite cut of the album,

“Hypothermia,” is a hard driving rock song -

that he says is reminiscent of the Pedaljets’
sound before signing with Twilight
records.

Today Today had been completed about
a year ago, then scrapped and re-recorded
on Twilight records with a “more mature
sound,” as Morrow said. It is this mature
rock sound that is so impressive, for a

George died in 1979, the band dissolved,

Crew Coverage

To the Editor:

I was disappointed with the coverage of the Head of the
Mowhawk Regatta. I am a member of the Women’s Var-
sity Crew team and I do not feel we received the attention
we deserved.

Most students do not realize that there is a women’s
crew team, but I suppose they have good reason. Not on-
ly was the report on the Women’s 8 minimal, but there
was no mention of the Women’s 4 that raced (and, by the
way, won, beating Union and Fordham).

The women’s team is dedicated and hardworking. It is
very discouraging when our own school does not
recognize us.

—Nancy Kunz

It’s time for the fairweather environmentalists to pack
up their PH kits and doomsday headlines and head for
high ground. We are sated with the Greenhouse Effect
and the Ozone Layer; it is time that an environmental

problem on Earth be discussed.
In the Adirondacks this fall, among lakes that humans

_have managed to destroy without ever laying eyes on,

there is dilillusioned chuckling being heard from the more
demonstrative natives of this area at the terrible news
from the summer. Long Island had band-aids on their

‘beaches and New York City was four degrees warmer

than usual. This is unfortunate. But now there is news
from the Adirondacks.

They are the oldest mountains in the world, and they
are crumbling.

The lakes are poisoned from acid rain. the little towns
that dot the landscape have eiither become ghost towns
with no businesses or been swallowed up by corporations.
Worst of all, the land that makes up the Adirondacks is
being bought up by private investors and nobody cares.

The Legislature does not care. They could not pass
legislation protecting the lands because re-elections had to
be worked on.

Mario Cuomo used to care, but that was before giving

two cents about people north of Albany meant political
death. Cuomo once called Essex County ‘‘a region of ab-
ject poor’’, and rightfully so. But he ignored them. By
doing so,he has forced these poor to sell the land they
love to corporations like Diamond International, so there
would be income to supplement unemployment
payments.

Unemployment? Yes, there is much unemployment,

because the state a few years finally got around to closing

the mines in Port Henry and Mineville that used to give
cancer to half of the population. The state was too late
then, and they will soon be too late again.
Paper manufactureres and real estate developers con-
tinue to harass private landowners with threats. Some say
they will build around people’s land, others say they will

‘force them to sell by court-order. The state must buy land —

in the Adirondacks and protect it.

Even if Cuomo were to budget the money, however, it
would eventually have to pass the Senate Republicans,
who will be led by new Mjority Leader Ralph Marino.
Marino is from Long Island and is irritated by the pro-
blems of the poor, whether they be in his own district or
400 miles away. He also has exhibited an astonishing
adeptness at pleasing everyone. You do not please
everyone by buying land in the Adirondacks.

The people of the Adirondacks, of course, are
frustrated and hurt. Frustrated that during a recent
crucial period of fending off corporate owners, the media
was polling downstate beach-goers on the number of
twist-off caps in the water. And hurt because the rest of
New York has forgotten about them.

Admittedly,the people there do not help their cause
with their PR methods. They distrust anyone who went to
a centralized high school or drinks beer made south of

Ticonderoga or west of Rochester. Spokesman don’t give -

press conferences; in truth, they barely speak.

Thus, they must be spoken for. It is their home but it is
all of New York’s backyard. Become aware that it is dy-
ing and then do something about it. Tell someone else,
write to your congressman or to the Governor. He reads
them. Tell him you want to help save the Adirondacks.

Career Day Facts
To the Editor: Ph

In response to the letter ‘‘Career Day Fiction’’ which
was published on Friday, October 7, we, the brothers of

Delta Sigma Pi, feel it is our obligation to let you know
what actually goes into the planning of Career Day.

Each spring, letters are sent to all department chairs —

asking them to submit names of organizations in their
particular field of study which they would like to see at-

‘tending Career Day. These letters are almost never

returned. ae
Despite this lack of response from department chairs,

over 300 invitations are sent out inviting a variety of
organizations from the New York area.

Please realize that Delta Sigma Pi eagerly seeks to draw
a diverse group of organizations. It is beyond our control

‘which orgainzations decide to actively recruit on campus

each year. We feel that the reason so many business firms

Tespond is the fact that SUNYA has one of the top

business schools in the country.

As many others do, we feel Career Day was once again
a worthwhile event for those who attended. Many ‘‘non-

_business”’ majors also discovered job opportunities dur-

ing Career Day, and some of those were from business
organizations.

In closing, if any student has suggestions for next year
(i.e. firms they would like to see attend) please feel free to
drop them by our office in CC334.

Not Just Tofu

To the Editor: ;

Welcome to the SUNY Food Co-op.Through the
cooperative effort of its members, the Food Co-op is able
to provide a healthy and economical food alternative to
the campus and local community.

Set up as a bulk food store, the Co-op offers a variety
of cheeses, yogurt, fruit and produce, dairy products,
juices, teas, spices, and grain products as well as our
popular mixes of nuts, fruit, and other snacks. We also
carry cookbooks, health care items, and vitamins.

The Co-op is open to everyone. However, members —
have the advantage of our membership prices, which are
barely marked above cost. We’ve even cut our member-
ship fee. Our non-membership prices are generally higher
than our membership prices, yet they are still usually less
expensive than Price Chopper or ShopRite.

As a working member you’d mostly be dealing with
people in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. You would be
assisting in opening and closing, weighing and pricing
food, cutting cheese, running the cash register, receiving

orders and generally keeping the Co-op in good shape.

_ The work is pretty light and easy, yet important in that

our members help the Co-op run smoothly. It’s a casual _
place to meet people, eat some good food, and save
yourself some money. Be
The hour you work each week passes quickly. You will .

op. Check us out. We’re not just granola and tofu.

The ASP wants YOU |
to voice your opinion on this page!

< In education, as in other human service industries such
as law and medicine, most of the increases are necessary
to attract and hold outstanding faculty and to maintain

and improve aging facilities. Just five years ago a new |

assistant professor of computer science would be paid a
nine-month salary of about $28,000. Today competition
for this talent requires a beginning salary of almost
$40,000. A University of Washington professor writing in
Newsweek recently estimated that recruiting a single
senior professor can cost a university anywhere from

- $500,000 to $2,500,000 or more.

Despite documented increases in costs, many worry
that higher education is not doing its fair share to increase
productivity and efficiency. Chester Finn, assistant
secretary for Educational Research and Improvement,
Department of Education, recently characterized higher
education as an industry “‘...of declining productivity
that seemingly will not force itself to tighten its belt, get
into shape, and curb its excesses.”” __

While higher education must do a better job of manag-

- ing its limited resourses, the question of where the money

for tuition will come from still remains unanswered.
Most recently, states and universities have developed
innovative ways to help parents cope with the cost of
education. Tuition prepayments, guarantees, and savings
plans are some of these new mechanisms. In Michigan,
for example, the family of a one-year old child can invest
$6,756 with the Michigan Education Trust to cover the
future costs of four years at a Michigan state college or
universtiy. The state of Illinois recently implemented a

plan to sell tax-free college savings bonds with maturity .

timed to coincide with a child’s college enrollment.

With tuition prepayments and guarantees, parents pay
all the costs up front -- either at the beginning of
freshman year or, in some programs, years before the
college-bound student is ready to attend. A potential
benefit is that tuition costs then are ‘‘guaranteed’’ at a
certain level. Parents are betting that actual increases in
_costs will outpace the interest accrued from their early

payment. ;
These programs have met with mixed success. While in

some cases they are a useful tool, they provide'no relief to.
the middle- or lower-income family without the resources -
to pay in advance. Consequently, these programs tend to.
perpetuate if not increase educational inequality of op-
portunity. Further, the tax implications and liabilities for —
Savings plans are not inconsequential. The Internal
Revenue Service recently said state trust funds like
Michigan’s would be taxed annually on the income
earned. . :

In New York State, passage of Governor Cuomo’s

_ Liberty Scholarships program, guaranteeing a college

education to low-income students, is a welcome step in
addressing the financial dilemma of college-bound
students. Similarly, ‘I Have A Dream’’ programs, such as
the one being administered by the School of Education at
the University at Albany for philanthropists E. Richard
and Janet Yulman, are exemplary individual efforts to

- help children receive a college education.

But the $100,000 projected price tag would still put col-
lege out of reach for many families not eligible for Liber-
ty Scholarships or ‘‘I Have A Dream.’? Much more help
will be needed -- in the forms of scholarships, grants, and
loan forgiveness programs -- to stem the alarming
possibility that college soon will be an option only for the

financially favored.

Clearly, parents must take note of these matters if they
are to make higher education a viable reality for their
children. It would be a national disgrace if parents had to
choose who among their offspring was most qualified to
attend college because they could only afford to send one

_.child. This educational triage could become a reality if

policymakers don’t buckle down and do their homework
in arithmetic. A simple exercise in multiplication shows
that when this year’s kindergartners are ready to enroll in
college, their applications may be stamped: “insufficient
funds.’’

Safe Sex and seduction themes of untraditional murder

By D. Forster

Every fall, residence halls
organize the traditional game of
murder.

This is the game where people
are given names at random who
then becomes the potential vic-
tim. The murder weapon had, in
the past, been a standard piece of
tape.

But this year, some halls are
not playing the traditional way.
This one relatively simple game
that entailed selecting a name and

Marianne Merrit.

Merrit cited as an example a

workshop held by the Pan-
Hellenic Association last year
which centered on rape crisis. All
fraternities and sororities on cam-
pus were required to send a
representative or pay a $50
penalty.
_ Despite hegklers at the start of
the speak-out, Alliance members
said they felt that the event was
well received.

Land said.
whistling at first, but everyone
listened. ”’

After the speak-out, Alliance
members handed out informa-
tional pamphlets on rape crisis
centers and the issue of rape
itself.

When asked if such
consciousness-raising efforts will
be repeated in the future, Cotter
replied, ‘‘Yes, everyday.’’ |

department of Institutional
Studies, applications have in-

creased slowly, but steadily, i in the |

past two years.
In the fall of 1988, 11,627 ap-
plications were received at

Stonybrook. In ’87, 11,472 ap-_
' plications

were received, and
11,198 students applied there in

In reference to whether or not

Meant more student involvement
in the future, Lamb said, ‘“‘It
seems to be pumping up. We. at
SA tried to get more student in-

Dane athletics, and we got a good
response.”’

“It’s great that students are fin-
Nally waking up,’? NYPIRG
Spokesman Andrew Greenblatt

Said, adding that it is organinzing

to motivate people.”

Greenblatt expressed a reserva-
tion about the turnout.’’ I hope
its not just because of the national
elections this fall,”’ he said.

killing a person has branched out
to Murder by Sexually Transmit-
ted Diseases (SDT). This brand of
murder is taking place in Clinton
Hall on Colonial Quad.

The twist? At the moment of
execution the culprit must state,
‘‘T am killing you with
Herpes/VD/AIDS,”’’ or any other
sexually transmitted disease of
their choice.

There are safety mechanisms,
however. In addition to such
areas as the library, penthouse, or

classes, the condom provides a

safe refuge from the various

_ “Jack the Rippers.”’

‘It’s kind of funny to see girls
walking to class waving profilac-
tics in the air, exclaiming ‘I’m

safe, I got my condom,’ ”’ said

Clinton Hall Resident Assistant
Rich Goyer.

The object of Murder by SDT
is to promote safe sex, which is
one of today’s most popular and
controversial issues. ‘“We wanted

_to turn the game into an educa-
Dee a OO OD OOD

tional program in addition to a
social one,’’ said Kelly Jackson,
co-RA of Clinton, and the

originator of this specific game of

murder.

“It’s a subtle hint. Someone is
coming after you with a sexually
transmitted disease, and your best
protection is a condom,”’ said
Jackson, who has dispersed
literature throughout the hall
from the Albany Health Service
regarding these diseases.

But the game has accomplished
more than just an enhanced
awareness. Murder increases
social interaction within the halls.
“‘The best part was everyone got
to know everyone,’’ a Clinton
Hall resident said.

Once you’ve been killed, you
are awarded the opportunity to
make your own tombstone that
will go up for view in the Clinton
Hall cemetery. Printed on every
stone is the name of the victim,

Clinton Hall is not the only hall
to deter from the traditional
method of murder. ‘‘Seduction’’
is taking place in Delancey hall.
This game follows that same rules
as the others except for a few
minor differences. Instead of
claiming a disease upons assault
one will announce, ‘‘I’m seducing
you,’’ and members of this game
trade in their condom for a
banana.

Paine Hall is also participating,
but they also are taking another
approach. Killing can only take
place within the hall, and at the
time of death a psuedo crime
scene is created. Just like in the
movies, the bodies are outlined
with chalk, and then gone over
with tape. According to Jackson
it is very entertainng to go into
Paine and look at all the crime
scenes that are exhibited
throughout the hall.

The reactions to these games
have been positive and the tur-
nout has been good. ‘‘I think it’s
great,’’ said Doug Samuels, Col-
onial Quad coordinator.
‘‘Anything that will get the
students motivated and involved
in SUNYA is important. It’s what
it’s all about.”’

Clinton hall members had reac-
tions. Liz Eaton claimes ‘‘I learn-
ed about all kind of diseases I
never heard of before.’’ (Inciden-
tally, in the end Eaton lost the
battle to the hands of Syphillus).

“It made it less embarassing to
carry a condom, Chris Shanely
said. ‘‘Now every girl has a con-
dom, every guy has a condom,

Dane netmen wrap up
fall season against MIT

By Gregory Localio

The Dane netmen, led by Coach Bob
Lewis, traveled to Boston this past Satur-
day with hopes of wrapping up the fall
1988 season with a winning record.

The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (M.I.T.) squad proved less
than cooperative by serving the Danes a
7-2 defeat. The bitter loss lowered
Albany’s record to 5-6 on the season.

Lewis, although slightly dismayed, was
content in that he felt his 12-man team
had put in some effort for the day.

‘‘M.I.T. has one of the top Division III

teams in New England,’’ Lewis said.

The Danes top two singles players,
sophomore Captain Adam Cohen and
Oneonta transfer David Lewcewicy, were
disposed of in straight sets by their
respective foes, Brian Brown (6-2, 6-1)
and Alex Photiades (6-2, 6-3).

In other singles competition,
sophomore Ruben Santos, junior Cap-
tain Dave Mohl, and junior Kahn Koseki
fell short of victory in straight sets.

Perhaps the sole bright spot for the
Danes in this final dual meet of the
.season was freshman netman Dan

- Brohler.

Brohler battled back to overcome his -

opponent Ken Reng in a three set victory,
2-6, 6-3, 6-4. After starting off slowly,

Brohler roared back with his base-line .

game and the aid of a consistent first
serve.

‘‘Dan seems to be able to master his
first serve when he has to,’’ Lewis said,
“‘and he showed a lot of guts out on the
court.”’

The Danes have plaenty of time to
work on their games over the winter,
while they await the spring 1989 season.

-‘‘Hopefully,’’ said Lewis, ‘‘if we can
continue to elevate to higher levels of
play by taking on the best available com-
petition, we can get a couple of guys to
qualify for the Nationals in the spring.’’

HOFFMAN UPS.

The Albany Great Dane men’s tennis

- team, coached by Bob Lewis, has com-

pleted its fall season. It looks forward to
winter practice and then it’s Spring
season.

defeat Siena Indians 1-0

By Denise Pisapia
STAFF WRITER
The Albany State Women’s Soccer
Team defeated Siena College 1-0 on
Tuesday to avenge last years loss of 2-0.
“‘Technically the team played very
well,’’ said head coach Sue Zaloom, “‘It

- was one of the better technically played

games of the season.’’

The first half was scoreless for both

teams. With seven minutes left Albany’s
Linda Acacella scored on a cross from
Cheryl Hensen, posting the only goal of
the game.

The Danes tripled Siena’s seven shots
on goal. Goalie Dawn Dieckmann had
six saves, and her second shut-out of the
season. Dieckmann has been the Empire
State Games Adirondack keeper for the
past two years.

_ The mid-field line had an outstanding

game. The line consists of Tara Loftus at
outside mid-fielder, Carolyn Kurtz at
mid-striker, and Laura Pergolizzi at
center mid-fielder.

Also making great contributions were
the team’s seniors, Joan McNamara and
Hensen. McNamara has done a good job
of holding the defense together in the key
position as the center striker, according -
to Zaloom. Hensen does well on offense,
as far as being a motivated attacker.

The younger members of the team also

have become a vital force in the team’s

success. Among these are freshman
Patrice Duberrouzel, Robin Spilko and
Mary Beth Gazley.

The Danes have compiled a 6-3-2
record to date and hope to keep winning
as they face North Adams, Thursday and
Vassar College on Saturday. Both games
should prove to be exciting bouts. CO

_ After about 50 miles at 90 mph, Chris
took over the reins at a toll booth, after a

Chinese Fire Drill, and’ back to 55 we
went. We were actually on schedule until
we hit the Bronx.

Chris’s upstate hick driving was not
very helpful there. Panic set into his face

as he drove through traffic while moan- —

ing, ‘I’m never driving in the city
again.”’

Finally, we made it to Fordham while
the band was playing the National An-
them. Relief, that we may actually broad-
cast the game in its entirety.

The only problem was that we couldn’t
find our phone jack (a necessity for
WCDB to bring you the Danes live). We

finally were able to locate it and broad-
cast the game. You know about the game
already, so it’s pointless to rehash it.
_ After the game Alex and I were bragg-
ing about ‘‘our new car’’, each of us
claiming that it was his, but few people
seemed to believe us (the Z-plate gave it
away).

Chris refused to drive back through the
Bronx, so again driving fell into my lap.

Chris kept patig: “Look out!’’ and
“Be Careful, the car’s in my name.”’ , any
time a car moved or stopped in at of
us. Finally we made it back to the
Thruway and Chris was driving once
again.

A ‘probing’
journey to
New York City

By Howard Sobel

Have you ever wondered how you get

WCDB? For those of you who have lain
awake nights pondering this, worry no

more.
Here it is in black and white

For starters, it isn’t as glamourous as
you are led to believe. There are no
chauffer-driven limos taking us from

ourselves in rented cars, sometimes going

to how to get to our destination.

The Albany volleyball team continues to
put away its competition.

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR .

Five down, five to go. The Danes are
halfway through their 1988 season, posting
a 3-2 record.

That might sound average to you, but
let’s take a look at that record and see how
deceiving it is.

Albany opened up its’ season by hosting
a Division III powerhouse Ithaca and lost
17-3. It’s not just that simple. The
Bombers scored their two t.d.s on big
plays and Albany, called for eight illegal
procedure penalties, couldn’t get its of-
fense on track.

Oh, by the way, Ithaca is now 5-0 and is
the top ranked team in the East. They’ve
blown away every team they’ve faced since
Albany.

Western Connecticut was the next team
to visit Albany. The Dane offense played
better and the defense was very solid.
Danes 15, Colonials 14. The first win
always helps your confidence.

Perennial rival R.P.I. showed how im-
proved they are. It was neck and neck un-
til Albany Q.B. Pat Ryder pulled Danes’

- fat out of the fire with a 72 yard t.d. pass -

to Steve Donnelly with 50 seconds left.
Good teams always make the good plays.
Albany 20, RPI 16. .

At long last Union was coming to
University Field. Fine, except for the fact
that it wasn’t the same Union that made
the Division III playoffs four years in a

row. Albany had no problems with the

Dutchmen, winning 28-12.

The Danes then decided to take their
show on the road for the first time this
season. Unfortunately, they picked the
Bronx.

Fordham, a team that is moving up to

Division IAA in two years, showed why.
They overcame a 22-13 halftime deficit to
defeat the Danes 43-29. The Rams are se-

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Only giving up one point, the Albany
women’s. volleyball team raised their
record to 18-1 Wednesday winning over St.
Rose 15-1,15-0,15-0.

The most exciting aspect of the matchup .

between the teams had nothing to do with
the playing. Both the coach and assistant
coach of the St Rose team are former Dane
spikers.

Patty Munhall, a 1986 SUNYA
graduate, has coached the St. Rose team
since she graduated. Chris Hoffer, the
assistant coach was captain of the Dane
squad last year. -

SUNYA coach Patrick Dwyer felt that it
“was fun’’. ‘‘It feels good when the peo-
ple you’ve coached become coaches,”’ said
Dwyer, ‘‘it feels like ee *ve been

~ gsuccessful.’”

Commenting on the match, Dwyer said,
‘“‘We looked very professional.’’ He ex-
plained that while there were many
sideouts for St. Rose and many volleys, the
(St. Rose) couldn’t seem to score.

The match gave Dwyer a chance to play
all possible players excluding one injury
and one player working from the sidelines.

Dwyer explained that in the past, the
assistant coaches had called plays from the
side lines. The use of this is to help the set-
ter to decide which of the hitters to send
the ball to. A variance in direction con-
fuses the blockers and makes for better
scoring ability.

Their only losses have come to two of the
top teams in the nation, and they have pro-

Onward to the second half. The Danes,
though highly unlikely in the running for

an NCAA playoff bid, still have a chance

for an ECAC postseason berth.

It won’t be easy, as the Danes host East

veteran of the team, took on the job of
calling the shots.

The team has been working on overall -
playing in preparation for the Eastern
Connecticut Invitational to be played on
Friday and Saturday.

Still ranked fourth in the country
(NCAA Division III) and first in both the
Northeast and in the state, the Danes are
hoping that this Invitational will help them
raise in the rankings.

Included in the teams in the Invitational
are sixth ranked and undefeated M.I.T.
and ninth ranked Juniata, who has made it
to every NCAA Final Four except one.

The Invitational will be made up of two
pools, with the two teams with the best
records in each pool advancing to the
finals.

Dwyer expects that it will be Albany and
Eastern Connecticut (not presently rank-
ed, but has been a driving force in the past)
emerging victorious from the first pool,
and M.1.T. and Juniata from the second.

Both M.I.T. and Juniata have reached
as high as second in the NCAA Division
Ill finals. Juniata captured fifth place two
years ago, by beating out the Danes, who
ended up sixth.

“This is the first year we have a
possibility of playing Juniata besides the
playorts, ” said Dwyer, ““We’re excited
about it.

**The fact that we’re a good team will be
a test of things,’? Dwyer said, ‘“We’re
looking forward to the competition.
We're hoping, expecting to do well.”

well-balanced team.”’

“‘There was a possiblity we could have
been 5-0, any team on our schedule could
have beat us. We've been fortunate so
far,’’ Kayser said.

e Red Dragons are led on offense by
fifth year Q.B. Rich Keefer. Keefer, bruis-
ed his arm in last week’s win against
Brockport State. Kayser says he’s a
‘probable starter’’ this weekend.

The true star for Cortland is fullback
Gareth Grayson. The senior has had some
spectacular games. He had 200 yards
rushing against Buffalo State and 176
yards against Hobart. He has 648 yards
and seven t.d.s in five games.

If the Danes are to win, they must stop
Grayson.

‘‘They can run and throw. They run in-
side with power and outside with speed,”
said Ford.

The Red Dragons defense is also strong.
They have given up only 47 points in five
games. Their formation is a 5-2.

How will Cortland’s defense stop
Albany’s potent wishbone attack?

~ “J don’t know if were going to,’’ said
Kayser, ‘‘We’re going to try to play tcom
defense. Everybody has to be conscious.’

The Dragons have seen the wishbone
once this season, against Western Connec-
ticut. Cortland barely beat the Colonials
24-21.

“It’s a tough offense,’’ Kayser said,
‘‘Albany runs the best bone out of who we
play.”’

This looks to be a matchup of two stong
teams that could be close.

“It’s a challenge,’’ Kayser said, “we'll
come out and play a hard game.”’ =

Albany needs a win to get the season : ee

“We took a pounding last week (against
Fordham), but our remaining games are
against good teams,’ said Ford. O
