Racism discussed at Amsterdam forum

Several SUNYA Latino students
travelled to Amsterdam High School
Wednesday to participate in a forum held
in response to alleged anti-Hispanic
remarks made recently by an Amsterdam
School Board member.

Remarks allegedly made by board
member Charles Ferris in a July speech
were construed by some as racist.

“The Spanish people in South America,
for instance, can’t run a country without
total chaos. You don’t find that in western
civilization because people are reasonably
intelligent and know how to do things,”
an article in The Recorder quoted Ferris,

Wednesday’s forum began with
Amsterdam Board of Education member
Emanuel Rosen who spoke of the initial

ASUBA positions to remain the same

“Whether you like it or not, this is
an English speaking country’.
- AmsterdamBoard of
Education member
Emanuel Rosen

issue which sparked the controversy: The
idea of introducing a multicultural
curriculum into the Amsterdam School
District.

Rosen said a decision needs to be made
about possible curriculum changes.

“However you are born, you have every
Tight to be proud of it. Speak Spanish in
your home, but learn to speak English in
school. Whether you like it or not, this is
an English-speaking country,” he said.

Rosen also said the forum was meant
strictly for Amsterdam residents to
discuss the situation.

“J don’t want to liszen to anyone not in *

the Amsterdam community/school
district. We are a family and we do not
need outsiders,” he said.

Adam Ortiz, a graduate student at
SUNYA and President of Fuerza Latina,
addressed the Board.

“For you to tell us we are Americans
and then expect us to listen to Ferris’
comments, and then expect us to wrap
ourselves around the American flag, then
Maybe you need to do some self-
analyzation,” he said.

“When you offend the Latino
community, then it becomes our problem,
not just an Amsterdam family problem,”
Ortiz said.

Reverend Mark Tilly, an Amsterdam
resident criticized not only Ferris but
many members of the Amsterdam region.

Tilly said, “I was deeply disturbed by
what Mr. Ferris said, and that he refused
to apologize.” More importantly, Tilly
said, the community has failed to see
anything wrong with what Ferris said.

Tilly said he thinks it is Ferris’ duty to
resign from the Amsterdam Board of
Education. He referred to racism as “a
brutal factor of life for a large number of
citizens in this community.”

“When you're white, it’s hard to see
racism - no one bothers me,” Tilly said.

As Tilly was finishing up his
statements, much of the audience began to
boo. An elderly man in the last row
shouted, “Boo, go home. Leave town!”

About 100 people attended the
predominantly white forum.

Unlike Tilly, other speakers were
cheered and applauded by the audience,

SRE EISELE EIS
“There has to be a society which

can adjust to the progression and
changes made by various ethnic
groups.”
- Jose Maymi, SA director of
Multicultural Affairs

such as Anthony Ridicio, an elderly
Amsterdam resident.

“The purpose of this forum was “to talk
peace between the Hispanics and the
whites, so the audience should’ve been
loaded with Hispanics, but it’s not. Why?
Because they’re not interested,” Ridicio
said.

Ridicio added, “Let’s have peace and if
you wanna talk Spanish or have White
talks, let’s keep it quiet; let’s keep it to
ourselves.”

Ginelle Santiago, a SUNYA student

responded to Ridicio. “I don’t need or
want anyone’s sympathy for what I am,”
she said.

Bonnie Page of Amsterdam said she
was, “grateful for Ferris’ remarks because
they offered a perfect opportunity to
expose a wrong doing.”

“Things haven’t changed and this is a
perfect opportunity for Amsterdam to be
pioneers of change,” she said. “Everyone
should try to make the world a better
place for all of us to live in, and color
does not matter ’cause all of our blood
tuns red.”

Several other SUNYA students had
their turn at the podium.

José Maymi, Student Association’s
director of Multiculmral Affairs, told the
Board changes need to be made.

The Albany State University
Black Alliance (AS$UBA)
executive board members, as
elected last semester, voted
Tuesday to keep their positions,
said Kahina Van Dyke, ASUBA
president,

The vote was called in response
to Student Association (SA)
Vice-President Nicole Sharpe’s
injunction to the SA Supreme
Court.

After reviewing SA’s copy of
the ASUBA constitution and the
constitution ASUBA was
operating under, 13 executive
board members voted to keep the
officers as elected, with 3 against
and 1 abstention.

Sharpe’s tally of the votes
shows discrepancies with 10
voting in favor, 3 against and 1
abstention. Sharpe said not all of
the 17 executive officers were

present for the election, thus the
discrepancy. According to
Sharpe, only 14 members voted.

Of the 17 executive officers, 7
are in jeopardy for not meeting
procedural requirements, Sharpe
said, “The election was biased
and should be null and void, it
must be redone,” she added. The
executive board held a vote on
whether or not to keep-their own
positions, thus making it biased.

The entire incident was a bit
ironic, Van Dyke said, since
Sharpe ran ASUBA’s elections
last semester and now questions
their validity regarding elections
procedures and officer
requirements,

Van Dyke said according to
SA, the current ASUBA
constitution was not on file.
Sharpe said the constitution on
file in the SA office was the one
under which the officers were
elected.

Of Sharpe’s involvement with
ASUBA elections last year, she
said she only counted the ballots,
Craig Butler was in charge of the
elections. Sharpe stood in for
elections committee members
who did not show up .

George Boyce, SA Affirmative
Action Officer froze ASUBA’s
budget in retaliation for their not
having sent a delegate to the first
mandatory meeting of the
Affirmative Action Grievance
Board.

Van Dyke’s response was that
she was unaware of the meeting.
The ASUBA office had been
broken into, files disturbed
mail has been stolen- all due to
the actions taken by Sharpe, said
Van Dyke. Those events were
reported to Scott Birge,
Associate Director of Campus
Center and Conferences in the
Office of Campus Life. *

House passes aid bill

Washington
(AP) The H ouse on Wednesday reaffirmed its

Cider Prices Rise
Amsterdam, NY.
(AP) An early apple harvest across much of

" A lot of apples that would have normally
dropped during windstorms and hurricanes
were picked, " said John Pagles, owner of
Pagles Produce in Amsterdam.

‘That pushed the price of dropped apples,
which go to making cider and other apple
products, from 3 cents a pound last year to 5
cents a pound, Pagles said.

Edmund Schuyler, owner of S chuyler's
Orchard in Minaville in Montgomery County,
said it's always been a struggle to find enough
apples for cider. This year, he said, the problem
has been made worse by the fact - apples were
generally smaller than in year's past due to the
dry summer.

"T think the price of cider has goneup
because the apples are smaller, and you have to
use more apples to get the same amount of
cider, " Schuyler said.

Just over 10 percent of the apple crop in New
York state- about 114 million pounds- was
pressed into cider and juice last year. Figures

Cuomo goes abroad

Albany, N.Y.
(AP) When it comes to his trip to Japan that
begins later this week, New York Gov. Mario
Cuomo appears to be almost all work and no

One official of his administration , who
insisted anonymity, said Thursday that's in part
because some Cuomo aides were worried about
™ pictures of him attending the opera."

"There's a certain sensitivity to
junketeering,” said the official. .

Other administration officials said it was
simply a matter of the trip being a trade mission
that really was focused on business couplled
with a lack of time.

A schedule for the govemnor's visit shows that
during the four days he'll spend in Tokyo,
Cuomo will meet with govemment officials,
visit businesses, attend receptions, give
speeches, sign agreements and visit a university.

" The schedule is tremendously packed, It
Teally doesn't leave much breathing room at all,
" said Cuomo aide Harold Holzer earlier this
week in a telephone interview from Tokyo.

But Holzer also said ," You know the boss_
all work an d, I wouldn't say no culture, but al 1
work and very little sacrifice of the work
schedule for anything that he doesn't see as
essential to the trip from the New York
Perspective,

In his almost nine years as governor, Cuomo
has taken only one other overseas trip_a one-
week visit to the Soviet Union in 1987. As
governor, he's never takena formal vacation. He
did spend one week several years ago doing
little but reading, writing and relaxing at the
Executive Mansion in Albany.

IFC self-regulates itself as dry rush begins |

By Stacey Golluscio
STAFF WRITER

Fraternities will be sponsoring a “dry
tush” this fall as a result of the Inter-
Fraternity Council’s (IFC) self-regulating
policy.

“Dry rush” means no drugs or alcohol
will be involved in any rush activity, said
Scott Hansen, IFC’s Rush Chair.

Alcoholic beverages served at rush parties
are against IFC National Policy. Dry rush
also helps people get to know each other
better, and it’s safer, said Mike Driscoll, IFC
judicial chair,

Registration for rush started on Monday,
Sept. 23 in the lecture centers. It is
mandatory that every student who plans to
tush pays a registration fee and registers
with IFC.

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, there was a rush
event in the Campus Center Ballroom. Each
of the 20 IFC fraternities received a table
and put up a banner.

Rush is open to all male students and will
last until October 5. Rush is worth trying
even if you’re not sure you want to pledge,
Hansen said. “There are so many

fraternities, and they are all different. It
gives you a chance to know them,” Hansen
said.

“Rush is going really well as far as
registration goes,” said Tom Eilers, IFC
President. There are a lot more freshman
who are registering goes, he said.

“This is the most serious rush we’ve had
yet,” said Chris Potenza of Sigma Chi (£X).

Ricky Ostrove of Tau Epsilon Phi (TE®),
said rush was going better than expected.
“Rush is reflecting on the quality of the
brotherhood,” he said.

Albany’s dry rush program received
Tecognition on the front page of the National
Interfraternity Conference Newsletter.

“T’m pleased and proud that IFC showed
this kind of aggressive leadership to deal
with abuse issues in the Greek system,” said
Mitchel Livingston, vice president of
student affairs.

Director of Student Activities Jessica
Casey said, “The main difference with dry
tush on this campus is that it really is dry
and more vigorously enforced.” Casey also
said the number of students involved in rush
is “way up” over last fall.

SA budgets may be cut due to rampant spending

'1_ ALBANY

By Lance Vallis
STAFF WRITER

Student Association
Controller, Ed Fagan warned
Central Council Wednesday, he
is going to be forced to slash the
budgets of several S.A. groups
which overspent their budgets
last year.

“The shit stops here,” he told
Council. Fagan explained how
an audit revealed the abuse by
some groups of S.A. funds.

Fagan said he is basing his
decision to cut some group
budgets on suggestions made by
a private company, Charles
Marvin and Company, which
audits S.A. every year.

On Thursday, Fagan
speculated about the causes of
S.A’s financial woes.

He noted one problem was

getting clubs to spend the
amount S.A. allocated.

“Clubs set out to spend a
certain amount of money on
their programs, and then wind
up paying more than they
expected to, “ Fagan said.

“The S.A office receives
receipts from groups months
after the money has been spent,”
he said.

“We can’t prevent them from
going over their budget if we
find out about it long after
they’ve done it.”

Fagan also attributed the
problem to large-scale
programming by S.A. groups,
which are often affected by
lower-than-expected attendance.

“Events (that) expected to
raise $100,000 in revenue, for
example, only brought in half

that amount.”

S.A.’s continuation of free
events also contributed to the
financial problems, Fagan said.

“Tf we don’t generate income,
we cannot cover our expenses,
and we also cannot bring quality
programs to the campus without
spending money.”

Fagan said a constant source
of frustration is the constant
shifting and replacement of club
officials every year.

“Every year, club officials
have to go through a learning
process to find out how the
previous officials did their
jobs,” he said,

Fagan explained it takes a
period of time for new officials
to understand their duties,
especially if they inherit
mistakes from the year before.

“Since the audit has not been
completed, the budget cuts will
not be made until the final
figures are in,” Fagan said.

“Within a few days of
receiving the report, I will
inform groups of their cuts.
There will be an appeal process
for groups that think they have
been treated unfairly...cuts will
be made depending on the
amount of overspending,”
Fagan said.

Fagan confirmed University
Concert Board was one of the
groups being scrutinized for
past overspending. He refused
to comment further on any other
groups.

“UCB officials and other S.A.
group representatives were also
unavailable for comment
Thursday evening.

UN Security Council broadens embargo on Yugoslavia

“The aggression within Yugoslavia represents a direct threat”

By Victoria Graham

United Nations
(AP) The WN. Security Council
has broadened a European arms
embargo on warring Yugoslavia
to a worldwide action, and the
United States blamed Serbia
and the often-allied Yugoslav
military for much of the
bloodshed.

Wednesday’s unanimous vote
by the United States and the 14
other countries on the Security
Council was legally binding
upon the 166 U.N. member
nations, but it did not spell out
provisions to enforce the
embargo.

There also was no call to
dispatch a U.N. peacekeeping
force to halt the fighting, which
has claimed at least 500 lives
since Croatia and Slovenia
declared independence in June.
Canada, Australia and other
U.N. members have said they
would support sending U.N.
troops on grounds that the
fighting threatens international
peace.

The Council gave full support
to European Community peace
efforts and called on Secretary-
General Javier Perez de Cueller
to consult with the Yugoslav
government and parties on how
the United Nations can help.

As of late Wednesday a
fragile truce was holding in
Yugoslavia between Croatian
forces, an ethnic Serb minority
Nopposed to ] planned
secession, and the army which
has intervened increasingly in
the fighting allegedly at the
behest of neighboring Serbia.

Leaders of Croatia, Serbia
and the Yugoslav military
agreed Wednesday to seek a
peaceful end to the conflict,
urging a complete cease-fire in
Croatia. At least five previous
truces have failed to stop the

Meanwhile, the Serbian
government said it would “use
all means “ to prevent an
independence referendum set to
begin today in Kosovo, the
predominantly ethnic-Albanian

province of Serbia. Serbia
suppressed Kovoso’s Albanian-
dominated parliament last year.

The Security Council voted
15-0 for the embargo during an
extraordinary meting of its
members’ foreign ministers,
following an appeal by
Yugoslav Foreign Minister
Budimir Loncar to strengthen
the European Community’s
cutoff on arms deliveries and

While the resolution includes
no specific enforcement , it does
cite Chapter 7 of the U.N.
Charter, under which the world
body can apply blockades,
economic sanctions or even
‘wage wat.

It was under Chapter 7 that
the Security Council authorized
the United States and the allied,
coalition to use military force to”
drive Iraq from Kuwait in the
Persian Gulf war.

In exceptionally strong terms,
Secretary of State James A.
Baker III accused the Yugoslav
federal military of unacceptable

aggression against separatist
Croatia and with causing deaths
to citizens it is supposed to
protect.

Baker said the military and
the government of Serbia “bear
a special and indeed growing
responsibility for the grim
future which awaits the people
of Yugoslavia if they do not
stop the bloodshed and reverse
the violent course now being
pursued.”

“The aggression within
Yugoslavia” he said during the
Security Council special
session, “represents a direct
threat to international peace and
security.”

The issue of whether the
conflict represents such a threat
is important, since the U.N.
Charter prohibits U.N.
interference in the internal
affairs of member states unless
there is a threat to international
peace and security. The United
Nations requires approval from
the parties concerned before
dispatching peacekeepers.

Look around at those sitting
in any one of your classes.
Select four women at random.
Now consider that at least one
of them has probably been
raped or had a rape attempt
committed against her by a man
she knew. College campuses are

foremost settings for
date/acquaintance rape.
Research has
shown that

the age fram
of the average college student.
This is why we all need to
understand the problem and
extent of date/acquaintance rape
on college campuses and that
includes SUNY Albany.

Rape is defined as “...penis-
vagina intercourse against a
woman’s will and without her
consent” (legal definition which
varies slightly by state). Date
tape is... “rape by someone the
victim has been or is dating.”
Acquaintance rape is... “rape by
someone the victim knows”
(Parrot, 1988). Although men
are sometimes the victims of
rape (almost always by a male
assailant), the overwhelming
incidence of rape involves a
male attacking a female victim.
A recent major study indicated

27.1991.

Date rape still prevalent on

that 15 percent of the college
women surveyed had been
raped, according to strict legal
standards. 84 percent of victims
knew their assailants, Each year
103 rapes occur among every
1000 college women. Yet only 5
percent of rape victims - and
virtually none of the
acquaintance - rape victims -
tell police. There are many
complex and subtle reasons for
this lack of reporting. One of
the reasons is that both
assailants and victims are often
ill-informed, and are incapable
of labeling an attack as rape.
Research has found that 84
percent of the men who
committed rape said that what
they did was definitely not rape.
Men, like women, are taught to
view sexuality in a certain way.
Timothy Beneke, in his book,
Men on Rape, explores how
men’s language about sex is
often couched in terms that treat
sex as an achievement of a
valued commodity. Sex is
symbolic of gaining control
over a women, typified by such
phrases as: (sex as achievement)
“T'd like to make it with her,” “I
hope I score tonight,” and so on;
and (women as commodity)
“She wouldn’t give me any,”
“How would you like a little bit
of that?” Most men have used
this language at some time, and
most reject the objectifying
attitude it expresses. But, the

imprint remains. Those who
have not changed their attitudes
reinforce the language with
aggressive sexual behavior,

The high incidence of
date/acquaintance is reinforced
by the fact that women are often
perceived as “safe” victims.
That is, women raped by men
they are dating are unlikely to
report their rapes, or offer
serious resistance. Also, society
has hidden the phenomenon so
long that many victims do not
define their experiences as rape.
“Pll ask a woman, ‘Have you
ever been raped?’ and she’ll say
‘No,’” according to Andrea
Parrot, a lecturer in psychology
at Cornell University. “Then I
ask, ‘Have you ever been
involved in a coercive sexual
encounter?” and she’ll say,
*Yes.’ They don’t realize it, but
that’s rape.”

Alcohol and drug use also
factor very highly in
date/acquaintance rape.
Evidence suggests that about 75
percent of the men and at least
55 percent of the women
involved in acquaintance rapes
had been drinking or taking
drugs just before the attack. An
intoxicated man may become
more aggressive sexually, less
interested in what the woman
wants, and more likely to use
his intoxication as an excuse to
justify his behavior, than when
he is sober. A woman’s

perception about what is
happening around her becomes
blurred, and her ability to resist
an assault is reduced when her
verbal and physical abilities are
impaired.

College campuses are also
settings for gang or party rape.
This involves one victim
attacked repeatedly by a number
of assailants. Such incidents
happen in residence halls and at
off-campus parties. Although
gang rapes go largely
unreported, a recent study
includes 50 cases uncovered
during research. About 70
percent of those cases occurred
at fraternity parties and an
additional 20 percent involved
athletes. Victims of such rapes
often drop out of school. The
men are generally unaware they
have committed rape and view
their actions as “normal party
behavior.”

Tronically, most campus rape
intervention has been focused
on stranger rape. Many
institutions respond after a rape
attempt by putting up increased
lighting, tightening security, or
offering an escort service.
“Stranger rape is really the
anomaly, so that intervention is
really missing the point,”
according to Barry Burkhart of
Auburn. It is very important that
a woman know she is at the
greatest risk of being a victim of
date/acquaintance rape during

college campuses

her first year of college before
Thanksgiving break. In fact,
most rape attempts are made
during the first three weeks of
school when women, new to the
college scene, are the most
vulnerable. Therefore, it is
imperative that women and men
receive education about this
serious problem on campus.

Some precautions for
avoiding date/acquaintance rape
include the following:

For women:

- Be wary of men who exhibit
obviously sexist or macho
attitudes about women, as well
as men who are violent with

others or who appear
excessively jealous or insecure
about themselves.

- Trust your “inner voice”
about a potential date, or an
acquaintance who makes you

feel uneasy.

- Be assertive and
communicate openly and
honestly.

- Plan where you are going,
avoid dark secluded places.

- When you go out, discuss
going “Dutch treat.”

- Let friends, family know
who you are with and when you
will return; let your date know
you have told people this.

- Plan in advance how you
will get home from a party, etc.

Do you believe
homosexuals should be
allowed to serve in the
military?

“Yes I do. I don't see why they're
being discriminated against. It goes
to show what a reactionary
institution the military is. I don't
understand why anyone would want
to serve in the military but they
should be allowed if they want.”

- Jen Salerno
Senior

“Ya. If they keep it
private, then it's OK.
If they're flagrant
homosexuals, then no.
I think they should be

(CPS) Date rape victims. Battered
lwomen. Hostages. Do these groups of
people share certain psychological
characteristics? According to a study at
ithe University of Cincinnati, they do.
The study is one of the first to look at
lhow The Stockholm Syndrome relates to
dating. The Stockholm Syndrome is a
concept that emerged years ago when
researchers studied the psychological
characteristics of hostages and found that
they actually bonded with their captors, in
spite of suffering abuse.
Previous studies at the University of
Cincinnati have linked the behavior of
battered women to the Stockholm
Syndrome.
“A lot of women say, ‘If I were
battered, I’d just leave.’” says Dr. Dee
(Graham, a psychologist who conducted
the study. “But what most battered
'women know is that’s what gets you more
severely beaten or even killed. The
battered woman is real aware of those
contingencies, so like a hostage she
develops a bond when she sees no way
out.”
Seeing “no way out” is perhaps the key
to the psychology of the Stockholm
Syndrome. “These are terrifying
situations.” she says. “People see their
‘survival at stake. Dwelling on the bad
gets in the way of what you need to

survive. ...Slowly you start to distort the|
situation, see some good and slowly begin
to bond.”

After finding a connection between The|
Stockholm Syndrome and battered!
women, Graham says Cincinnati}
researchers decided to see how syndrome’
behavior might relate to dating in general.

“What's significant is that ... we picked]
people off the street and what we found|
suggests that the dynamics of this are
evasive and that every relationship is|
more or less abusive,” Graham says.

Date rape is an example of the extreme|
result of that abuse, Graham says. On one|
hand, a woman might be pressured to}
have sex but nothing happens. But in the
most extreme case, a date rape could!
occur.

“Pressure to have sex is normal,”|
Graham says. But if the situation does not
result in a rape, “People usually deny the|
abuse just to cope with it.”

In a look at other research, Graham
found one study that reported 25 to 35
percent of young women perceived
violence toward them as a sign of love.
That helped spark her theory that|
Stockholm Syndrome behavior could be}
linked to dating.

Graham’s study involved a random
sample of 746 undergraduate women at|
the University of Cincinnati.

Four Florida judges
indicted after sting

By Sandra Waleski

Miami
(AP) A federal grand jury on
Tuesday indicted three state
judges and a former judge on
racketeering charges for
allegedly taking bribes in
exchange for judicial favors,

Two of the judges also were
accused of involvement in an
abortive murder conspiracy
plot.

In its sting investigation, the
government used an informant,
attorney Raymond J. Takiff,
who pretended to represent a
Central American drug cartel
and other narcotics traffickers
with cases pending in Dade
County.

Takiff was once a defense
attorney for Manuel Noriega.
He withdrew from that case
shortly after the U.S, invasion
of Panama.

The judges accepted money
in exchange for lowering bail,
revealing the existence of arrest
warrants, releasing confidential
information, returning seized
Property and suppressing
evidence, U.S. Attorney Dexter
Lehtinen said.

The four surrendered in court
and were released on personal
surety bonds. All four said
directly or through their
attorneys that they were
confident they would be found
innocent.

A fifth target of the probe, T.
Gelber, has pleaded guilty to
one count of racketeering and
agreed to resign from the
current circuit court bench and
cooperate with the
investigation.

During the probe, undercover
FBI and state agents appeared in
court as defendants in fictitious
cases, Lehtinen said.

“This indictment should send
a message that public office
cannot be turned to private
purpose,” he said.

Indicted were Dade circuit
judges Alfonso Sepe, 64, and
Philip Davis, 37; County Judge
Harvey Shenberg, 47, and
former Circuit Judge David
Goodhart, 62. They face counts
of racketeering, racketeering
conspiracy, extortion and
attempted extortion.

“This has not been one of the
better days of my life,” Sepe
said. “I am absolutely confident
I will be exonerated.”

“My track record is
impeccable,” Davis said.

The two-year probe might
have remained under wraps had
Shenberg accepted an offer to
become an _ undercover
informant. His refusal triggered
a plan to serve warrants at the
judge’s homes and offices in
June.

“He rejected playing the role

Trial of Noriega continues,
former aide's testimony doubted

By Richard Cole

Miami

(AP) Testimony by Manuel Noriega’s former aide fell apart under defense questioning Tuesday, casting
doubt on the govemnment’s charge that Fidel Castro mediated a drug dispute between the Panamanian
leader and traffickers.

Luis del Cid, 47, testified at length Monday that he had contacted Noriega in Paris in 1984 to tell him
that Panamanian troops had accidentally raided a Medellin cartel cocaine laboratory in Panama’s
Darien province, thinking it was a guerrilla camp,

Del Cid initially claimed he flew immediately to New York and escorted the returning Noriega to a
meeting with Castro in Cuba. The indictment says Noriega was paid to protect the lab, and after the
Cuban President’s mediation, the Panamanian leader was forced to return millions of dollars in bribe
money.

Defense attorney Frank Rubino pointed out that Noriega’s passport and Panamanian investigation
reports showed Noriega was in Panama during the raid, didn’t leave the country until nearly a month
later and didn’t get to Cuba until nearly three weeks after that.

“It was a error, it was a mistake on my part. “ Del Cid said. Prosecutors claim Noriega was bribed by
Colombian drug traffickers contend that Noriega worked for the CIA and other U.S. agencies that knew
what he was doing and encouraged it.

In recanting his previous testimony, Del Cid agreed Noriega himself gave the order to raid the drug
lab in May 1984 while still in Panama. Noriega’s narcotics chief, Capt. Luis Quiel, even took a U.S.
Drug Enforcement Administration agent along with him to inspect the lab the following day.

Nearly a month later Noriega left Panama on an official tour to the United States, France, Israel, and
Cuba. The trip to Cuba was not a panicked diversion following the Darien raid, but rather a pre-planned
leg of the trip, del Cid acknowledged.

Del Cid called Noriega in Europe only to tell him that one of his aides, Col. Julian Melo, took a $6
million bribe from drug traffickers to protect the lab, and that the Colombians wanted the money back,
he testified. Melo was sent back to Panama and kicked out of the army in disgrace, del Cid
acknowledged.

Rubino also noted that a score of Colombians arrested at the lab were turned over to their own
government long before Noreiga reached Cuba to make an alleged deal with the cartel.

Del Cid, Noriega’s self-described errand boy, also admitted he never saw or was told that envelopes
and suitcases he took to Noriega from alleged drug pilots and couriers contained drug cash.

“Tt couldn’t be anything else but drugs.” insisted del Cid. “Everyone in Panama knew these people
‘were into drugs.”

Foreigners removed from
strife infested Zaire

By Bernard Massamba

Doogie does it while

Brazzaville, Congo
(AP) Belgium and France dispatched hundreds more troops to Zaire on Wednesday to
help evacuate foreigners as the pillaging and violence that has claimed at least 30 lives
appeared to be spreading.

Europeans who escaped to this neighboring country told killings rape and looting by
the capital, because they hadn’t been paid.

The European relief group Doctors Without Borders said up to 1,750 people were
wounded in violence in Kinshasa alone, and only 250 had been able to get to hospitals.
Thirty people have been reported killed in three days.

France and Belgium, Zaire’s former colonial ruler, reiterated calls for President
Mobutu Sese Seko to move toward multiparty democracy after 26 years in power.

Opposition leaders charged that Mobutu incited the troops to mutiny to provoke
intervention by Western forces.

Mobutu agreed in April 1990 to hand over power to a democratically elected
government within a year. No date for elections has been set and a national conference
that was to schedule them has broken up.

In Brussels Wednesday, the Belgian government decided to send 500 more troops to
Zaire to protect its nationals, joining 500 already there. France now has 600 troops in
the nation.

About 280 French and Belgian paratroopers were dispatched to the southern mining
city of Kolwezi, where thousands of foreigners live and unrest was reported to be
continuing, a French military source in Brazzaville said, speaking on condition of
anonymity.

The source said 2,000 foreigners had been evacuated from Zaire by late Wednesday.
Several hundred others fled south to Zambia. Zimbabwe or South Africa.

Several U.S. C-141 military transport planes have been loaned to France to ferry more
soldiers, supplies and equipment to Zaire, officials said.

hair salon, which caters primarily to
students, heaps praise on her college
clientele. “They're full of vitality and they’re!
fun,” she said smiling. O’Donnell also
admitted being “inspired” by their ripe

that students “have a potential to add to our|
future.”

Paralleling such positivism is Infiniti’s
lowner Elsa Yarbrough who views her|
collegiate customers as “close friends, who}
have helped (her) and who have sought

(her) help” in return.

Vivian Margulies, the proprieter of
Dahlia’s, Madison Avenue’s quaint, yet
bustling vegetarian café, said she
predominantly hires college students from
ISUNY-Albany. Margulies quickly pointed out
ithe industrious nature of her student
lemployees, citing “their honesty and their]
(uncanny) ability to work well together.”

“I’ve only had good experiences with
college students,” she said. “They're the!
future.”

And now a word from your neighDors

In addition to the opinions local businesspeople had of SUNY students, several local residents had positive things to say about
thier younger neighbors.

Joan Tierney, a newcomer to the neighborhood who resides on Western Avenue, reflects on the delicate relationship between
locals and transitory students, points to the “misunderstood condescension” students feel residents sometimes display. Tierney
admits that such misconstrued perceptions can be eliminated through “a one-on-one approach to agreeable requests by (both sides)
to adhere to the requests” and public principles of rational behavior.

Mrs. Swerbenski, who lives on Washington Avenue among several college students, says, “noise” and general chaotic clamour as
the main problem between students and residents. While admitting there are still problems between the two social factions, the
students “haven't been as bad as the past years.” Despite recalling numerous acts of vandalism, the potential for harmony lies in
respect for property and not being bothersome. She points to her “neighbors across the street (college students)” who are quiet,
intelligent and busy with themselves.

Gerald Cawley, a new resident whose wooden red apartment lies amid clusters of college abodes, says he “readily associates with
(students).” He added, “They’re underrated as a separate community.”

Having been an undergraduate himself, Cawley admits “there is no doubt a destructive few” who can hinder harmony.

But. “most students,” he asserts, “are fairly constructive and do work in unison with the community.”

[Dominick and]
Hilda Angerami,
Albany residents for]
45 years, are
currently residing on!
Ontario Street.

“The kids have
been very good this|
year,” Mrs,
Angerami said.

“They forget one|
thing though,” her
husband added.
“They are away from!
home. This is our|

Meredith Mattingly,

The meaning of Seuss

For years while we sat in libraries and doctors' offices|
lacross the country, the wonderfully outlandish rhymes of|
Dr. Seuss swept us into far away lands populated with|
\Loraxes, Wockets and Sneetches. Simply written books|
meant for beginning readers enchanted not only the}
youngsters, but the parents and babysitters, too. No one}
loutgrows Dr. Seuss. Never.

On Wednesday, Theodor Seuss Geisel, Dr. Seuss,}
passed away at the age of 87. America is saddened by|
this loss. Somehow he seemed immortal, as many of our]
favorite things seem to be. In many ways, Dr. Seuss was|
more than a person-he was (and will continue to be) an|
institution in American childhood, as warm and|
comforting as our teddy bears. And like our teddy bears,
lalways there.

Dr. Seuss’ books are more than stories. Each one takes
lus on a journey further into the realm of our imagination,
showing us just how limitless our minds can be. He|
sparked the minds of the young like no other writer has.|
The simplicity of his works is probably what makes
them endure. The pictures are simple, and actually!
somewhat childlike. But this is exactly why they appeal]
to us. The words he uses are strange, but again, this is|
why they have such an appeal. These uncomplicated
stories attract people more than the most complex pieces
of literature.

His popularity doesn’t wane as the children mature|
into adulthood. There are Dr. Seuss fanclubs on several
college campuses across the nation. As the first]
generation of Seuss readers grows up, they read his|
books to their children, and to their grandchildren, and
so on.

Perhaps the continued success of Dr. Seuss’ books is

an indicator of the times. As the economy and politics|
get us down, the world of The Cat in the Hat beckons.|
Let's replace Saddam Hussein with Horton the Elephant.
("I meant what I said, and I said what I meant-I'll get out!
lof Kuwait one hundred percent!”) Wouldn't it be nice if|
lwe could reduce George Bush to a Wocket in our
pocket?
If nothing else, the one feature of the books we'd like!
‘in our lives is the constant happy ending. Our world
would be so much better if bad guys like the Grinch]
could become good guys in the end. Imagine if the Whos|
lof Whoville could help everyone? Little squads of Whos|
could be sent out to make unhappy people happy. Then
we could all have a feast of roast beast and Who
pudding!

We still want to talk to that Zelf up on that shelf. We|
still want to shake hands with Thing One and Thing,
‘Two, and think all the thinks we can think! We want to}
live in a world where Big-Boy Boomeroo Bombs don't]
exist, and where the Thneeds don't cut down truffula}
trees. Maybe even the Yooks and the Zooks could learn
to live their differences. If they can, why can't we? Dr,
Seuss inspires hope in all of us.

With any luck, tommorrow we'll wake up to find a]
wasket in our basket. Or a woset in our closet. We'll
learn to like green eggs and ham, and even eat them with
foxes or in boxes, here, there and everywhere!

Ziffs and Zuffs and Zlocks and Brown Barbaloots|
running around campus! Wouldn't that help when it}
rains, and things get so gray and dreary? Perhaps add a}
few fishes-one fish or two, red or blue! Oh how lively}
this campus would be!

Dr. Seuss indeed seemed to know the college|
experience when he penned these lines, "And if you go}
in, should you turn left.or right- or right-and-three-
quarters? Or maybe not quite?...Simple it's not, I'm
jafraid you'll find, for a mind maker upper to make up his
mind!"

Dr. Seuss had no children of his own. However in a|
sense, we are all his children. His whimsical stories|
speak to us in ways that even our parents couldn't always}
do. His voice seemed to come through his words, his|
jexcitement tangible as it rose in a crescendo to the endof]
the story. It is a part of our childhood we will never
forget, nor will we forget the wonderful man behind it.
His works can be summed up thusly:

"We looked! Then we saw him step in on the mat!
We looked! And we saw him! The Cat in the Hat!
And he said to us, "Why do you sit\ there like that?”
"T know it is wet, And the sun is not sunny.

But we can have lots of good fun that is funny!"

Goodbye Dr. Seuss. We'll miss you.

COLUMN

Let The Students Do The Job

So what is it going to be folks, a fieldhouse or a
warehouse?

That seems to be a pretty common question with a lot
of people around campus these days and it should be. I’m
referring to the colossal and newly-constructed
Recreation and Convocation Center located next to the
old gym.

Even University President H. Patrick Swygert is
concerned about the RC. At a recent Central Council
meeting Swygert told student representatives the state
had allocated (University at Albany, UA, SUNYA,
Albany State, SUNY Albany - take your pick) “zero”
dollars to heat or run the facility.

“Tf we don’t figure out some way of heating the place,
it will probably be the largest storage facility on the East
Coast,” Swygert said at the meeting.

Tom Murnane

Ss RS FTE
As far as staffing the place is concerned, I’m sure

Swygert and physical plant director Dennis Stevens are
doing everything they can think of to find answers.

“We'll make do with what we’ve got,” Swygert had
said. From my limited experience watching Swygert and
Stevens handle the missing Indian Quad key situation a
couple of weeks ago, they probably will figure something
out.

But I, your humble writer, am offering the University
and the students a way to run the RC, hopefully in a more
cost-effective way.

What I’m trying to say is I think the answer to
Swygert’s problems is literally right under his nose. Why
not have the students help to run the RC?

I’m serious. What’s the one resource Swygert can
count on to be at the University every day? Time’s up.
Students, people, and lots of ’em! And while I’m at it,
there are a good number of relatively poor students on
campus who have been hit by all of these ridiculous fee
increases and tuition hikes.

Ok, now, let’s see what we have here. First, we have an
$11 million facility with no one to run it. Second, we
have a pool of 17,000 talented students here at SUNYA (I
also still call the Rat the Rat and to hell with McDuffs).
Many of these students are graduate students/assistants
and many are talented undergraduates who are looking
for an “edge” when they go out into the workforce.

Many students will hear the old “sorry kid, we can’t
give you the job, you just don’t have the experience.”
Too many will hear that line.

You’ve got the Business School, the Communications
School, the Fine Arts School, and so on. There is an
abundance of creative minds and I don’t think the
University has taken advantage of them - yet.

What I’m suggesting is this: the University hire a
professional manager to oversee the facility. The rest of
the RC staff could consist of students, who would get
paid for their work, but for a lot less than what it would
cost to hire outside people. Students need jobs and
experience, and the University needs cheap, reliable,
labor in return,

Thave to credit Council Vice-Chair Jim Quent with the
gist of the idea, even though the application of the idea
for the RC is mine. Quent originally brought up the idea
last spring to improve and expand the work-study
Program, to get students more on-campus jobs and save
the University a bundle.

SUNY Board of Trustees member Al Iselin said at a
spring Council meeting he was “very interested” in
Quent’s idea and said he would “look into it.” Uh huh.
What month is it now, Al?

Back to the RC. I think the structure should be loosely
along these lines; First, there’s the RC director. Second, a
staff of student RC managers who are in charge of every
facet of operation. There could even be a faculty advisory
board established to draw upon their vast knowledge and
experience. I think it would be a serious oversight if the
faculty’s creativity wasn’t tapped into for this situation.

The next tier of employees who would staff the offices
and do that “daily-routine-thing” would be students as
well. If an RC manager position opened up, the RTC
could hire from within the staff.

I understand this is a vague structure and there are
probably plenty of holes in it, but I believe it should be
considered as a viable solution to the University’s woes.

On a prestige note, SUNYA would be known for
putting an $11 million facility in the hands of the
students. Confidence in the students, Has a nice ring to it,
doesn’t it?

September 27 ,1991

Finally, after all the waiting, they’re

out; Guns N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion I
and II. These were to be released in
mid-July by Geffen records, but the
release date was postponed. MTV
was busy keeping the alert fans
updated on the band’s activities, but
are the new LP’s worth all the fussin’
and waitin’?

GN'R decided to make this a major
project by releasing both volumes
simultaneously. Summing up the
time for each song, Vol I and Ill are
approximately seventy-five minutes
long, each.

Jani Kim

The Parental Advisory sticker on
each album should give you'a hint as
to what to expect from this L.A. band,
which consists of Axel Rose, Slash,
Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Matt
Sorum, and the new member, Dizzy
Reed. For the gunners out there, these

two volumes are definitely something
to keep, because they are different
from the previous albums. For
example, you will get to hear ‘silent’
Izzy take the spotlight in scores: “Dust
and Bones” and “14 Years."

There are so many songs to review
that I will split them into three
categories. Vol. I (the one with the
yellow-reddish cover) includes “Live
and Let Die,” a remake of Paul
McCartney’s original. This song is
very energetic and colorful. The
recently released, “Don’t Cry," has
two versions; the one appearing on
this volume is the one you hear on the
radio, and the other has alternative
lyrics. This has been revived from the
band’s previous EP, Live ?!*@ Like a
Suicide, released in ‘86 by Uzi-Suicide
records. I prefer the radio version to
the latter, because its lyrics flow more
smoothly than the other one and that
helps to provide a mood that makes
this song one of the few really
powerful pieces of the Illusions.

Another powerful piece is
“November Rain” which leaves you
with a holy, purified feeling, as if you
are walking alone in the rain. One of
my favorite tunes off this volume is
“You Ain’t the First,” written by
Indiana-native Izzy. It is a hitchhiker-
on-the-highway or just-getting-high-
with-my-pals kind’a song. There were
some tasteless songs here, too, like
“Back Off, Bitch”, “Garden of Eden”,
and “Don’t Damn Me,” to name a few.

The second volume starts off with
the long and moving “Civil War,"

which the group performed in ‘90
Farm Aid IV. This is the only song out
of both volumes that contains Steven
Adler’s drumming, before Matt
Sorum of the Cult took over. This has
depth and thoroughness with out
over feeding the listener too much.
“Breakdown” has Slash playing banjo
nicely, but this little twist is nothing
compared with hearing Duff sing his
own “So Fine". This is a calm and
beautiful piece. It adds color to the
whole set filled with Axl-vs.-throat
noise, not that this Seattle-born
bassist’s voice will win him any
awards. Then there is “You Could Be
Mine”’ the first new one to be
released. This volume ends witha
short piece, “My World”, showing Axi
just playing around and being loud,
which is actually cute.

There are a number of songs from
the set that are based on AxI’s life, one
of the most known being Dylan’s
“Knocking on Heaven’s Door”. This
song hits upon the death of his close
friend Todd, who died of a drug
overdose. This song only has a few
lines of verses, but the band uses it to
the fullest in making it very powerful
and tragic. The scuffle between Axl
and his former next-door neighbor
Gabriela Kantor has been transformed
into “Right Next Door To Hell.” The
latter had charged Axl with hitting
her with a wine bottle.

Another of my favorites is “Get in
the Ring”, Axl’s anti-press song. Be
warned; Axl isn’t playful with his
overly obscene words as he is in this.

lltusion Now a Reality |

He chastises four sources directly, one
of them being Circus Magazine. (I
guiltily look over my desk where I
piled up three most recent issues of
Circus, which I gathered for research.
Just so you’d know, all three have
GN’R on the cover.) This song is nice
to sing a long with, because of its
liveliness and because of all the
obscenities in it, especially if you are
stressed out or had a bad day.

“Pretty Tied Up” is a pretty cool
song, dealing with a girl Axl knows,
who lives on L.A.’s Melrose Avenue,
and is obsessed with kinky sex. Last
but not least, there is Coma, a ten-
minute song describing Axl’s own,
near-death experience with drug
overdose. I’m sorry this drug played a
big part in Axl’s life, but to stretch it
out to a dragging ten-minute piece
will only make the listener want to fall
into a coma during this song.

But over all, Use your Illusion I and
Il are great. It has something that
Appetite for Destruction, which went
to #1 on the LP charts in ‘86, lacks,
which is variety. It is like a scrap book
filled with colorful ideas. Bringing
Dizzy Reed, formerly with L.A. band
The Wild, into the band (Axl plays
piano on half of all the songs on the
two volumes.) and giving piano-
keyboard flavor to the set work to add
texture to the albums. These albums
have traces of blues in it, and they
show the group's music has matured.
The new works may justify why the
band is so often compared to the
Rolling Stones.

Tpaly, Madly, beeply: A Realistic Ghost story

What's rather unfortunate for
‘Truly, Madly, Deeply is that it will fall
victim to comparisons to Ghost
because of the story resemblance. Yes,
this is yet another reincarnation story,
but not a Hollywood one. This one
comes from Britain and, although the
comparisons might hurt at the box
office, they surely help as far as
quality is concerned.

Vangelis Savva

Nina (Juliet Stevenson) is the
lonely widow, still shattered and
confused by her husband’s recent
death. Her life has come to standstill
as she insists on clinging to her
memories. It certainly doesn’t help
that Jamie’s (Alan Rickman) spirit
chases her around, reminding her to
lock the back door or to walk in the
middle of streets at night. Despite the
efforts of her boss and her Polish
neighbor to pull her out of that

misery, Nina still has a long way to go
in adjusting to life without Jamie.

But then one day the
unbelievable happens. Jamie returns
to life (2), appearing in Nina’s living
room playing his cello. She’s of
course stunned, and by the time she
recovers from the’shock, a week has
gone by and everything seems to be
perfect.

But not for very long. Soon
Nina discovers that, together with
Jamie’s return, she has to play host to
all his dead friends — a whole bunch
of them. Her apartment is converted
to a sort of refuge, with dead people
watching movies on the VCR all night
long and performing chamber music
during the day. In one particularly
funny scene two of Jamie’s dead
friends complain to Nina because she
erased Woody Allen’s Manhattan, as
well as Hitchcock’s Strangers on a
Train. The whole situation is
infuriating to Nina, to say the least.

Her discontent is reinforced

by the fact that Jamie is still dead and
she’s still very much alive. Her
acquaintance with a young,
handsome psychologist confuses
things even more. What is she to do
— continue living in the past or go on
with her life?

The strength of this film lies
in the story’s simplicity. At the same
time, newcomer writer/director
Anthony Minghella avoids any cheap
melodramatics. His approach in
dealing with the couple’s relationship
is quite realistic and the developments
are smooth and believable. The
dialogue is functional as well as
occasionally funny. The only
weakness is that the audience never
really discovers whether Jamie has
actually returned. This remains
ambiguous throughout the film,
although that very ambiguity is the
catalyst to the film’s conclusion.

The performances are right on
target, too. Stevenson gives a solid,
controlled performance while

Rickman (whose turn as the villain in
Robin Hood saved it from being an
utter disaster) proves once more his
great potential. The supporting cast is
equally good, with Jamie’s dead
friends stealing the show on their
limited screen time.

‘Truly, Madly, Deeply succeeds
where Ghost failed. The plot is far
more believable, its humor drier and
subtler. There are no special effects
here or sexy Hollywood starts. This is
a movie that sticks to the basics of
true filmmaking and that is one of its
very appeals. It might not be a shame
that this comes a year late but still, let
us not underestimate its effectiveness

and originality.

Ad's Last GASP

With the semester's first snowfall only days away (or so my
suitemate, Mr. Weather, tells me), | thought this would be an
appropriate time to talk about summer employment. (Such is the

| perverse and extremely warped manner in which my mind works.)

This past summer | served a seven week tour of duty ata
Manhattan day camp which shall remain nameless to protect the
ignorant. Me and four other counselors were sentenced to watch a
bunch of preschool-aged demons—excuse me, children. Our
group was called the Seagulls. The Vultures would have been
more appropriate. The head counselor, Chief Seagull, was a cross
between Ted Bundy and Felix Unger. Anal-retentive, compulsively
neat, and mad as a hatter, she didn’t just order us junior counselors
to clean the tables after snack time, she ordered us to “scrub”
them. Although lunch break was supposed to be forty-five minutes
Chief Seagull often took breaks of two or more hours. One day she
left for lunch and we didn’t see her again until morning snack a
week later.

The other three junior counselors I'll call Seagull Girl, Seagull
Chick, and Princess Seagull. Seagull Girl lived a double life as
counselor and tennis instructor. Because she was only with us
Part-time, she only went half-insane. Seagull Chick was a Yankee
fan, meaning that obviously she didn’t have all her wits about her
from the start. A former employee of Carvel, she was apt to have
flashback at any moment (just mention ice cream and she went off
the deep end). Princess Seagull had an allergic reaction to work,
and tried to do as little of it as possible. Rumor said she was
having a steamy affair with one of the kids in our group, but this
was never confirmed (although once | found them in a
compromising position in the bathroom with a wooden block).

Then there was Seagull Wannabe #1 and Seagull Wannabe #2,
who spent more time with my group than with their own. Seagull
Wannabe #1 and | used to exchange verbal jabs, and on more than
one occasion she physically assaulted me—loveable, friendly guy
that | am—for reasons beyond my comprehension. Seagull
Wannabe #2 and | spent many hundred degree days evaluating the
female counselors and deciding which had retained their purity.
Our conclusions will be published in a future column.

The Seagulls themselves were the stuff Stephen King novels are
made of. There was a boy who quickly earned the nickname
“Hannibal the Cannibal.” If he didn’t get his away, he’d take a
chunk out of your arm; on the bright side, when his mother forgot to
send his lunch he didn’t go hungry. One darling girl had the ability
to speak in grunts instead of words; whenever | pulled on her pony
tail (which, | confess, | became addicted to doing) she'd grunt
extra-loud. But the worst of them was a little tyke who makes
Regan MacNeil look like an angel. | wouldn’t doubt it if his mother’s
real name was Rosemary Woodhouse. 4

This child, who I'll affectionately refer to as Leviathan, Master of
Darkness—Lev for short—had a campwide reputation within hours
of his arrival. He would throw toys and pummel the other kids. He
fan around constantly, interpreting the command “Stop!” as a signal
to run faster. He also had a bowel problem, setting a camp record
by shitting in his pants four times in one day. By the last time we’d
run out of extra underwear and had to wrap Lev in toilet paper.

Among the many fun activities were singing. We sang all the
latest top 40 hits, including “ABC” and “Never Push Your Neighbor
in the Elevator.” Twice a day we went in the pool, where several
not-so-well-behaved Seagulls nearly drowned. (I swear, | never
pushed those kids off the ladder—okay, the first one, but the others
slipped.)

When camp had.ended, | admit | was a little sad to leave behind
these children with whom | had forged such a powerful emotional
bond. The money | made in tips helped ease the pain almost
immediately.

If | were to return to this camp next summer, certain conditions
would have to be met. Forget Todd van Poppel, I'd better get a
Brien Taylor contract. On second thought, | want Strawberry-type
money and a no-changing soiled underwear clause. Otherwise I'm
going free agent. “
For every old sitcom, there are
twice as many new sitcoms. While the
veterans open the new season with
juicy plots and familiar faces, the
novice must compete with exceptional
zest. This networking process
dominates the month of September in
the land of the boob tube. Whether its
about a poor but happy family like
The Torkelsons, or the modern day
Brady Bunch in Step by Step, or a
group of teachers in a boy’s boarding
school in Teech, they must be more
interesting than the veterans to
become a hit and stay atop the
mountain of shares and rating.

Having this type of challenge set
by its competitors, Drexell’s Class must
prove its worth in the networking
game. It was not originally called
that; its original title was “Shut Up
Kids,” but 20th Century Fox felt that
was rather offensive, and renamed the
show after the teacher of the class, Mr.
Otis Drexell.

This man, played by Dabney
Coleman, is not your average
elementary school teacher. He is the
Scrooge of the teaching profession,
making his kids work out his
bookkeeping by implementing it into
their math lesson and outwitting his
pupils into giving him money. He

about his paycheck. Yet, the pupils

Welcome to Hell and Back Again

Albany is such a great school! I
love my suitemates, my classes are
fantastic, the campus is beautiful and
everything is just peachy keen. This is
going to be a fantastic year!

Sheryl Rubin

STOP RIGHT THERE. If you're a
freshman or any student who thinks
this way, wake up and smell the

coffee, my friend! Get out of Leave it to
Beaverland and step into the real
world! Believe me, I thought this way
at one time, too, but I learned quickly,
just as you will, that Albany is a
bumpy road through hell and back.

Being a senior, the only advice I
can give to other underclassmen is
BEWARE. The road ahead is paved
with quicksand, not yellow bricks.

I know that when you got up here,
all you wanted was freedom. Your
parents were

usual,
nagging you
about all the
crap you
brought up
with you
that you’re
never going
to find any
use for
anyway.

Your father

was trying to

put together your new do-it-yourself
desk by fitting a round screw into a
square hole. Then, you all took the
traditional “Let’s see what we're
paying for” walk around campus.
(Student translation: “Let’s see what
the dump looks like so they'll leave
me alone.”) Finally, all teary-eyed,
sobbing “Our baby’s grown up,” your
parents ride off into the sunset,
leaving you here while they enjoy the
rest of their golden years. You're
feeling pretty good at that moment,
but the feeling is definitely going to be
short-lived.

You haven't experienced the true
Albany life yet. You haven’t yet sat
down to a meal wondering if what’s
on your plate wasn’t found at the
bottom of the Dead Sea about a
thousand years ago. You're still in the
middle of the honeymoon period with
the people you live with, because you
haven't been around them long
enough yet to get sick of the odor of
your roommate’s hair gel or your
Suitemate always talking about how
she’s hooked up with every guy in
State Tower in her past lives. Your fat,
schlumpy geology professor hasn’t
begun to look like a potential
marriage partner yet. This will all
come in due time. And don’t forget,
this is only September! You still have
registration, drop/add, midterms,
finals and next semester to look
forward to. Oh goody goody!

I’m not trying to scare you. I’m just
telling it like it is. There’s still time to
get out while you can. That
community college--you know the

one they call “The College for the
Dregs of Humanity” - probably
doesn’t look that bad right now
compared to Albany Penitentiary
(don’t you know that’s why all the
quads are grey and look exactly the
same?). Don’t worry, stick with me
and you'll either survive, or end up
brain dead and warped (like I am).
Actually, I don’t know which one of
these is better. All I know is that I’ve
spent the past three years here and an
incoming freshman can probably tell
his ass from his elbow better than I
can. If you plan on staying, I wish you
the best of luck—-and my condolences.

Forget About BABGO

To the Editor:

T have been a member of Fuerza Latina for the past
three years. I have seen this SA funded student group
expand to new heights each year that has passed. I pray
that with each passing year it will continue striving for
the dream.

On, November 2, Fuerza Latina in conjunction with
BABGO (Brothers for the Advancement of Black Greek
Organization) are co-sponsoring a party at the Campus
Center. I have many problems with this as I tried to state
at the last mass meeting, but was unable to be heard.

It has been my understanding that the Latino Greek
Council (LGC) was established to address the issues
concerning Latino Greeks on this campus, that were
otherwise neglected by the Pan Hellenic Council.
BABGO consists of some of those members of the Pan
Hellenic Council. I feel that BABGO’s primary interests
are nothing less than that of profit. BABGO’s interest are
that of social functions, which there is a mandatory
donation. BABGO has not sponsored.a Latino Forum,
Latino Workshop or a Latino Speaker. Why sponsor a
party? The answer is money. Everyone knows who is
behind BABGO.

One rebuttal to this argument might be in creatipg that
“just community” and providing a place where different

ethnic and racial groups can interact; to break the
barriers. Firstly, if you want to provide that arena for
interaction Fuerza Latina should then turn the ASUBA
and/or the Pan Caribbean Association, SA funded student
groups that deal more on those relevant issues. Secondly,
the name, BABGO (Brother for the Advancement of
Black Greeks) in itself is a contradiction to the principles
in which Fuerza Latina was founded. Thirdly, in my three

years here at SUNYA I have seen the same familiar
faces at Fuerza Latina parties - Latino students with
some exceptions,

My question to those concemed is why didn’t Fuerza
Latina co-sponsor with the LGC or sponsor the party on
it’s own? Hermanos y hermanas, keep in mind that as
you pay $5 admission part of those monies goes to
BABGO, a non-SA funded organization that has not
catered to Latinos concerns even on this campus.

Did Fuerza Latina sell out on this one? I’ll let you
answer that one for yourselves,

Please Donate Blood

To the Editor:

The SUNY Students and Faculty have been sponsoring
bloodmobiles for over eighteen years. We appreciate the
generous support that SUNY has given the blood
Program; once again we need your help. We are looking
for Student Association groups interested in organizing a
bloodmobile on the uptown or downtown campus.
Interested organizations may call Elaine Guidon at 426-
7461 ext. 309. Thank you for you continued support of

the community blood program.

To the Editor:

Ever since FDR’s “New Deal” program in the 1930's,
the Democratic Party has been the voice for the average
American citizen. We’ve represented the values and
beliefs of America since that era, never skipping a beat.
From civil rights to a fair foreign policy, this has been the
party of choice for most people.

We also represent the party of diversity, with a mixture
of ideas, philosophies, and visions that have made us
strong. The local on-campus organization, proudly called
University Democrats, is no different.

The fall of 1991 semester poses a variety of
challenges on the local, state, and national level that we
wish to address, But we can’t do that without your help.
Our strength lies in our unity and with the activism that
has been exhibited in the past. The Students for Choice
group on campus once started as a small committee
within our organization. But it’s numbers and popularity
Tose so fast and so large that it eventually eventually
spun off on its own.

Our size this semester has been average at best. This is
not enough, The problem as we see it is that many
students proudly claim themselves to be Democrats, but
have never put that label to the test. They sit back and
relax while others push for the changes that they too
would like to see come about. The time has come for that
to stop.

All you must do is attend just one meeting. Just one.
We guarantee that you'll be so caught up in the energy
and enthusiasm of our organization that you'll be back
for more. We’re looking for new people and new ideas,

University Democrats meets every Monday at 8:00 PM
in Campus Center room 361. What's one night a week
for the sake of your country’s future?

"Thanks" From Link

To the Editor:

As the student Co-Chairs of the LINK program and on
behalf of the Orientation Office, we would like to take
this opportunity to thank everyone who volunteered to
serve as a “LINK” to new students and who attended and
assisted with our recent social. This year was our largest
and most successful ever just over 1,000 new students
and 150 volunteers participating. As with any volunteer
organization, we are dependent upon the assistance and
support of our members. Without them, we would cease
to exist.

To our members then, “We are currently in the process
of planning out next year’s program and we hope to see
you all in the Spring when we will begin our
preparations. Until then, have a wonderful semester. We
Jook forward to working with you again.”

It's Just Capitalism

To the Editor:

In my first few days of college life, I befriended a
fellow Poli Sci nut named Al Pucciarelli. Since we have
the same major, we have often shared the same classes,
though rarely the same opinions. My good buddy Al
seems a cross of William F. Buckley and Archie Bunker,
while myself, am a former Teenage Republican, who
went off the deep end freshman year, and came back a
bleeding heart (See, God can restore you to sanity). So
when Al told me Monday that Tuesday ASP would carry
his piece condemning the Japanese on their trade
practices, I could not resist, and I sought to fill in some
of the historical gaps that may clarify that current
economic situation. :

First, let me say I always enjoy when a corporate
capitalist cries foul when another capitalist does better. Is
not Japan just looking out for their best interests, by
keeping its markets closed while overwhelming ours?
Hey Al, no one ever said capitalism was fair (for further
discussion See Marx). But if you really want to talk
about harsh inequities in foreign trade that have
undermined the economies of other nations, just pick up
any decent historical account depicting relations between
the U.S. and Latin American (preferably not one
endorsed by the Heritage Foundation). There Al, you can
read how the U.S. treated its “friends” to the south; by
such practices as fomenting coups in nations about to
nationalize industry and, can you believe it Al, sending
agents to bribe or lobby foreign officials to protect
American interests at the expense of national interests
respectively (How about Chile, 1973). Geez Al, maybe
those Latin American nations should listen to you, and
try to”prevent the influence of foreign money on their
legislatures. But fret not Al, they’ll take it the wrong
way, we always got the CIA and the U.S. Marines if we
can not find some Somosa or Contras to combat such
unfavorable possibilities. And with neighbors like us,
who needs an industrial economy; since most industry
down there is owned by the United States the Southern
tier can settle in to their permanent role as raw material
provider. Not as lucrative, but then they don’t have to

worry about messy and complex trade negotiations.
Speaking of which, lets look to see how the Japanese
economic juggernaut got rolling shall we.

After their surrender in 1945, Doug McArthur and the

occupying forces broke up the old monopolies which
controlled most of the Japanese economy, and set up
Policy to foster small businesses and trade unionism so
Japanese workers could enjoy the same benefits as their
American counterparts. However, they soon after
reversed course. Due to the alleged need for a strong
military and economic container to Soviet communism,
the old families of Mitsubishi, Matsui, et al, suddenly
regained their monopolies and economic diversity was
squelched along with the young labor unions (It’s true
Al, remember Dr. Witner’s class?). Figuring that by
restoring the business leaders who transformed Japan
into militaristic might it was in the Pacific. before the
war, the U.S. hoped to gain a valuable military ally. So
for forty years, especially after China went red, the U.S.
lavished the Japanese with military support and money,
rescinding occupation-time measures forbidding re-
arming, and inviting the Rising Sun to shine on once
again. But the Japanese declined. As the ultimate Cold
Warrior John Foster Dulles lamented, in newly
declassified U.S. documents, “we had done everything
we could think of to stir up in Japan a desire to assume a
Position of international influence once again, and the
Tesults had been markedly unsuccessful (as seen in Times
Union 9/23/91). “Instead, they beat their swords into
corporate shares. How did they surpass this country
economically; first by soaking up the paranoid inspired
military and financial support the U.S. bathed them in,
and second, the patronizing and trivializing view the U.S.
bigwigs held towards the Japanese lead to a tremendous
underestimating of their economic potential. As the same
article quotes Dulles, this time talking to the Japanese
Foreign Minister in 1955, “There will always be an
imbalance in Japan’s trade with the United States.” Ten
years later, there was still an imbalance, but now and
since, the U.S. was on the short end of the shaft. Why did
the top officials treat the Japanese as such an inferior
economic threat? Could their race have had anything to
do with it? Hmmm.

So as the bastard son of the American superpower, the
Japanese economy is today’s bitch. Gee, it just stinks Al
when other nations stop acting like the pawns the

attorney, Stephen Bronis.

Sepe, Davis and Shenberg
have been on administrative
leave since June.

Gelber took at least $81,000 in
bribes from undercover agents in

exchange for illegally altering
the outcome of criminal cases,
said Assistant State Attorney
Larry LaVecchio.

Under a racketeering count,
Gelber and Shenberg were
accused of involvement in an
alleged conspiracy to kill police
informant Dionesio Jose

Gueraio. The two judges met to

discuss revealing Gueraio’s
identity to people they knew
wanted to kill him, according to
court documents.

- Say “No” firmly and

For men:

- If you are currently raping,

with her, making sure both of

Finally, the bottom line is
“No” means “No!” It needs to be
said by women. It needs to be
heard by men. For “no” may
mean simply “no for now,” or
“No to sex, yes to you.” Let us
say YES to healthy relationships
composed of mutual respect and

ASUBA

Continued from front page

Boyce said Van Dyke was
personally told by Boyce of the
meeting. As soon as ASUBA
presents Boyce with a program
proposal for an Affirmative
Action workshop, the budget
freeze will be removed. This may
happen on Monday.

“T’m here to provide programs
for African students and other
students interested in African
culture and history. The politics
is not the paramount issue at all,”
Van Dyke said.

“This whole issue has been
intentionally counter productive
to ASUBA’s agenda. We're eager
to get on with our programming,
it’s been very frustrating and
portrays a bad image of ASUBA
for freshmen and others wanting
to get involved,” she continued.

Van Dyke also praised SA
President Bill Weitz for his
continued support throughout this
whole ordeal. Van Dyke said
Weitz agreed with her; this should
be settled internally.

“I’ve asked ASUBA to deal
with the matter internally. If next
week’s meeting doesn’t
accomplish what is necessary to
get ASUBA back on its feet, I
will need to take the appropriate
action required by this office”
Weitz said.

“I’m hoping that the problems
that have existed can be worked
out in a timely fashion. I hope it
won't reach the point where their
SA recognition will be frozen,”
headded,

“This has been a learning
experience to build on,” said Van
Dyke. A mass meeting of
ASUBA will be called within the
next two weeks, at which time the
ASUBA board will explain the
issue. They will resolve the

situation with its members on
what to do with the position
requirements section, of their
constitution.

A concerned advocate said,
“Personal problems should not
come between student groups,
but should be resolved
elsewhere.”

Regarding speculation that
Sharpe’s motivesfor the original
injunction were of a personal
nature, Sharpe responded,”That’s
bogus. I want to see ASUBA be
successful this year. I have no
personal vendetta against
ASUBA. That is totally untrue.”

Sharpe said ASUBA vice
president Stanley MacBarnett
approached her and asked her to
investigate the validity of the
elections and the constitutional

violations. Sharpe said

MacBarnett is one of the 7

members in jeopardy.

"The problems will be

rectified.”

“There has to be a society
which can adjust to the
progression and changes made
by various ethnic groups,”
Maymi said.

“This is a new education era,
with new leaders and new ideas.”

“The issue is to stop moral
injustices against Hispanic
students in the Amsterdam High
School and community. We’re
here to listen, not to argue,” said
Elliot Perez, also from SUNYA.

Reverend Chris Smith told the
audience Ferris’ remarks hurt a
group of people and nothing was
done about it.

“When I was younger, I
learned an old saying: ‘Sticks
and stones may break my bones,
but words will never hurt me.”
Well, that’s not true - words do
hurt!” Smith said.

Accused murderer extradited

By John Howard

(AP) A man accused in the sex-
torture slayings of 13 people was
returned to the United States on
Thursday from Canada, six years
after he had a partner allegedly
used a secluded cabin as a
murder bunker.

Charles Ng, 30, was sent back
to California on Thursday
moments after the Supreme
Court of Canada authorized his
extradition. Ng was immediately
taken into custody by U.S.
marshals and authorities from
Calaveras County, site of the
bizarre 1985 murders.

Ng arrived at McClellan Air
Force Base aboard a Canadian
government jet amid tight
security, and taken by a state
Corrections Department car to
nearby Folsom Prison. Ng was to
be kept separated from other
inmates, prison spokesman Tip
Kindel said.

Ng was captured after an

as U.S. authorities negotiated for
his extradition.

If convicted in California, he
could face the death penalty,
Because Canada doesn't have the
death penalty, Canadian officials
wouldn't approve his extradition.

In its ruling Thursday, the
Canadian Supreme Court said
that the "provision in the Charter
of Rights against cruel and
unusual punishment does not
apply, because any executions
would be carried out under U.S.
law against a U.S. citizen for
crimes committed in the United
States."

He is accused of 13 charges.
The 13th charge was filed after
extradition negotiations began in

Ng, a former Marine and a
native of Hong Kong, fled to
Canada in Jiine 1985 after Lake

committed suicide by
swallowing cyanide during
police interrogation.

State and local investigators
say Lake and Ng used the
mountain house to kill and
torture their victims, including
several neighbors. Authorities
discovered the charred remains
of bones and chidren’s teeth on
the 2.5 acre property. They said
the fenced wooden compound
included a cinder block bunker
with a crudely built cell, where
Lake and Ng murdered or
tortured people over a two year
period.

Pat Leahy, the oldest football

to end the game with a 27 yard

one earlier in the game from
moderate distance, but you
would have. to go back to the

(AP) Penthouse magazine said
jin an article released Thursday
that Don Zimmer bet $3,000 to
$5,000 weekly on football and
basketball games while he was
manager of the Chicago Cubs.

Zimmer said Thursday night
that he had been questioned by
(Commisioner Fay Vincent last
winter and he feels he is in fine
standing with baseball.
+“This guy wrote the story, I
don't know him,” Zimmer told
IWMAQ radio in Chicago,
referring to author Jerome
'Tuccile. “Supposedly I talked to
him. I don't know the guy. I will
say this: the commisioner called
me in. I think in the winter of
'90. ...As far as I'm concerned,
ithe meetings I had with the
icommisioner, he was satisfied
with everything I told him
jand...half of this, I'm kind of
giggling at. I've got the whole
thing in front of me...Some of it,
I can't even believe. Somebody's
trying to make a paycheck. What
ican I say?”
Tuccile said in the article
appearing in the November
edition of the magazine that
more than a year ago he met
with Kevin Hallinan, director of
security for baseball
icommisioner Fay Vincent, and
John Dowd, an investigator for
the commisioner's office.
Tuccile asked if Zimmer had

Don Zimmer accused of
betting on sporting events

commisioner's office “We can't
get into any of that,” Tuccile|
said Dowd told him repeatedly.
“We're not at liberty to discuss}
it.”

Hallinan did not return]

by The Associated Press on
Thursday. Rich Levin, director
of public relations for major
league baseball, said “Our policy|
is not to discuss any]
investigation that we have

Tucille, who said he posed as|
a gambler in order to gather his|
information, also quoted a|
gambler who said that Zimmer}
once divulged that his starting
pitcher in the next day's game}
had a sore arm andi would not|
last long. Zimmer denied]
passing information about
baseball to gamblers. The man
quoted by Tuccile said Zimmer}
may just have “a loose tongue.”

straight and as honest as I could|

tadio station. “And when it was
all over and all done, he was
convinced, he was satisfied with
what I told him, and that's the|
way 1 stand with the
commisioner.”

Orvis eclipses course
mark at Williams, runs
Danes into second

By Mike Director
STAFF WRITER

Cross country is a sport in
which the participants usually
perform better as the season
progresses.

Running at the Williams
Invitational this past weekend,
Albany’s men’s cross country
team proved that the above is not
always true.

On a perfect day for a race,
Albany competed against 17
other teams, losing only to Bates,
who is currently ranked 16th in
the nation in Division III. Bates
had 34 points to the Danes’ 57.

Leading the way for Albany
was junior Todd Orvis. He
shattered the course record with
his winning time of 25:46,
breaking the old record of 26:18
set by Frank Minosh of RPI.

For his efforts, Orvis was
named Albany’s “Athlete of the
Meet” by assistant coach Kevin
Williams.

“Todd had a convincing win
over a strong field and showed
his strength in this meet,”
Williams said.

The race was over a tough
8000-meter course with the first
mile uphill. After a mile, Orvis
and Minosh were co-leaders,
passing by in 5:11.

After them, came a pack of
three Bates runners and Albany
senior Chuck Tanner, who ran
5:22 for the first mile. Six
seconds back were the Danes’

Todd Rodgers, a sophomore, and
senior Joe McCullen.

After two and a half miles,
Orvis, looking calm and relxed,
pulled away from Minosh and
ran unchallenged the rest of the
race.

“Todd showed his talent in this
meet and we expect more
performances like this from
him,” said Albany head coach
Roberto Vives.

As Orvis pulled away, Danes
Tanner and McCullen continued
to run strong and both gained
ground throughout the race.

The scorers for Albany were:
Orvis (1st, 25:46), Tanner (7th,
26:59), McCullen (10th, 27:11),
Rodgers (17th, 27:31) and junior
Jeff Sullivan (22nd, 27:40).

After the meet, Vives had
nothing but praise for his
athletes.

“Chuck (Tanner) ran a strong
race and showed what a tough
competiter he is,” Vives said.

“Joe (McCullen) had his best
early season performance and he
will be there for us when it
counts,” Vives added.

The team as a whole looked
good and is now preparing for

“their next meet, which is with
. West Point Military Academy

and St. Johns on October 4 at
West Point. Following that,
Albany will have a triangular
meet with Binghamton and
Oneonta the next day.

Lady Danes still seeking first win

By Scott Breier

A cold, damp, dreary day was
the symbolic setting for yet
another Albany women’s soccer
defeat, as the host Lady Danes
(0-3-2) were beaten by the RPI
Engineers, 2-0.

RPI. (1-4) opened up the
scoring at 2:55 of the first half,
as senior Laura Nett marched
down the field, past Albany’s
defenders, to blast a shot by
Lady Danes’ goalkeeper, Monica
Harlow, and give the Engineers a
1-0 lead.

Albany settled back and
played a solid half on both ends
of the field. However, they
couldn’t put the ball in the net.

‘When the second half began,
Albany changed goalies in an
effort to shake things up. For a
while it worked. The Lady Danes
took the play to RPI’s end of the
field.

The Danes’ best scoring
chance came midway through
the second half, when, on a
corner kick, the ball bounced
around the RPI crease and past
the goalkeeper. However, an RPI
defender was there to keep it out
of the net.

The Engineers sealed up the
game with 31:32 remaining.
Junior Jennifer Ocif gave a neat
pass to a wide open Emily
Peyser, who put it by Lady
Danes’ goalkeeper Celia Mosier
to put the game away.

Albany coach Ann Depperman
was frustrated by the outcome.
“We're working well together.
We’re just not doing what it
takes to win,” she said after the
loss.

RPI appeared to use their

speed to overpower Albany’s
finesse style of play.

Although the Lady Danes were
able to penetrate the RPI defense
with little trouble, they were
unable to take quality shots.

The two teams finished with
11 shots each.

Harlow was credited with 3
saves and Mosier with 6 for
Albany. Susan Bator made 7
saves for RPI.

Rugby's A-side starts its season at 2-0;
B-side splits two opening matches

“The one thing that will get us

“We just need to win a game. It’s

Crew team will get its boats back in water

University Fund agrees to cover liability insurance

By Tom Murnane
NEWS EDITOR

After being grounded since
last May, the University at
Albany crew team, with a new
source of insurance, will be back
in the water this Monday, said
the team’s coach.

“We're looking at the first of
the week after all the
administrative matters are taken
care of,” said David Margelli, the
team’s volunteer coach.

The crew was grounded last
May when the State’s budget

“Therefore, the team was told
we could not put our shells in the
water,” Downing said.

All the crew team’s problems
at least temporarily changed,
beginning with a phone call
between a “crew team task
force” and S.A. President Bill
Weitz.

“Weitz was instrumental in
getting the ball rolling with the
administration,” said Stacey
Seale, the team’s current captain

and a task force member.

Seale said Weitz called
University Vice President for
Student Affairs Mitch Livingston
to discuss the plight of the crew
team. 23

“If we were going to salvage
any part of our season, we knew
we had to move quickly with the
administration, and thank God
they did,” said a crew member
who did not wish to be quoted.

Seale said Livingston asked

Vice President for University
Advancement Christian Kerstan
to look into the matter.

Kerstan met with crew team
representatives Wednesday to try
to solve the insurance problem
and to address other questions
regarding ownership of the
equipment.

Seale said they learned that
while the team itself was being
insured with the money they had
been receiving from SUNY

(through the President’s office),
their equipment, such as their
shells, were owned by the
University Fund.

“Apparently Kerstan called a
University Fund representative
to see if the Fund would be
willing to either donate the shells
to S.A. (the crew team is an S.A.
club sport, not a varsity sport) or
have the fund pick up the team’s
liability insurance.

“Paul Steck, who controls the
University Fund, has told us he
has agreed to cover the team

problems forced the University
to slash the crew team’s funding,
which the team needed in part to
pay for the insurance coverage.

The team had been receiving
some funding from the
University President’s office, an
arrangement made by former
University President Vincent
O’Leary, who helped establish
an Albany crew: team in the mid
1980's.

‘When the University had to
eliminate certain lines from its
budget during last. year’s budget
crisis, the special President's line
of funding to the crew team was
eliminated.

Though the crew team was
also receiving $3,400 from the
Student Association, it was not
enough to cover liability
insurance, said crew team
Treasurer Megan Downing.

Inactive since May, the crew team will once again’be able to compete.

until January or February,” said
Seale.

“At that point we’ll be on our
own and we will have to go out
into the community to obtain
private . and/or corporate
sponsorsHip for us to continue,”
Downing said. “That’s down the
road though...the important thing
is we’re going to be allowed
back in the water so we can start
training for the next race.”

One last obstacle remained
which would have presented the
crew team’s chances for fund-
raising beyond the University
realm.

Because the crew team is a
club sport and receives some
funding from the S.A., the team
needed Central Council’s
permission before it could make
plans to work with corporate

Monday night was true frustration for Jets - and fans

By Wayne Stock
SENIOR EDITOR

“Please don’t be shy,” echoes a voice
from a great distance. “Stand up,
introduce yourself and tell us your
problem.”

Well, my name is Wayné. (A unison
chant of “Hi Wayne” responds to my

introduction) And, I

COLUMN am a Jet fan. “How
long have you had this problem,” shouts a
man in the front row.

Twenty one years. Twenty one very
long years. (Fade out)

Sometimes being an avid rooter of
perhaps the most jinxed franchise in the
history of organized sports, gets you
yearning for a fan rehabilitation center.
O.K. sure, there are those who still wake
up in cold sweats with visions of Bill
Buckner’s legs. And those who foresee
moon inhabitation before a World Series
ever arrives back in the north side of the
windy city.

But for true frustration, the kind that
could make a grown man cry, you need to
enter the New Jersey Meadowlands- and
not the haif occupied by a team that pays
homage to a bronzed foot of Scott
Norwood. You also need to look no
further than Monday night.

The New York Jets entered their
nationally televised match-up in Bear
country with a 1-2 record. A mark that
should have read 2-1 had it not been for a
collapsing last minute defense. That

however, pales in comparison to the
abominations that occurred in Soldier
Field.

Most non-Jet fans predicted the Bears
would have little problem defeating the
Jets, as evidenced by a ludicrous eight
point spread. C’mon, lets face it, how
could the Jets possibly do what the
mighty Giants(Oh praise be their name in
all their 2-2 glory) couldn’t. How could
the Jets even come within 50 points of a
team that humbled the majestic
Giants(Praise be their name).

But then there were those who knew
better. The ones who adorn their kelly
green Jerseys and hats every time their
team comes to play. The true football fans
of New York. .

While we didn’t know if we'd actually
win the game, we knew it would be close.
Somehow, however, as I watched the pre-
game show , I had this weird sensation
that the Jets would once again reopen the
pearly gates of heartbreak hotel. But as I
listened to the brainless Allie Sherman,
former coach of the Giants(Praise be their
name) verbally rip apart quarterback Ken
O’Brien, I had no idea what I was in for
on this given evening.

For 58 minutes and 11 seconds the Jets
gave Mike Ditka’s crew a lesson in “Bear-
type football.” They grinded out their
yards on the offensive end. Their
defensive was so aggressive and
swarming that George Halas probably
stood up and took notice.

With just over three minutes remaining
in regulation and the Jets ahead 13-6, the
Bears began what appeared to be their
final attempt to cross the goal line.

When Brian Washington and James
Hasty stopped Bear quarterback Jim
Harbough an inch short of the promised
land, the Jets began to smell victory.

“We beat the Bears,” a fellow comrade
exclaimed in the tavern where I was
watching the game. Alas, this good
natured soul had forgotten Cleveland,
1985 (‘nuff said), His memory was also
so short that he couldn’t recall the
happenings of the previous weeks Bills
game.

But as the Jets picked up two
Consecutive first downs, it seemed as if a
new Jet team had been born. Suddenly,
the memories of Richard Todd began to
fade. For the first time in over 8 years I
Started to forget the face of A.J. Duhe.
The desperate cries of “Joe Must Go”
began to evaporate.

As Mike Singletary received a flag for
unnecessary roughness with two minutes
to go, I joyfully shouted out “We beat the
Bears. This is it. This is the new Jets.”

(Fade in) I really thought we had beat
them. “I know how you feel,” an elderly
gentleman said to me with his hand on my
Tight shoulder. “Things just haven’t been
the same since Namath left.”

On a second down and nine with 1:48
left to play, and the Bears with no time-
outs remaining, Jet running back Blair

‘ties Skidmore

Thomas did the unconscionable. He
fumbled. The Bears proceeded to drive
just over 30 yards and tie the game on a
fourth down pass as time expired.

But the pain had just begun.

After a couple of possession changes in
overtime, the monsters of the
Meadowlands promptly marched the
Pigskin down to the Bears 10 yard line.
Despite having a first down, second year
coach Bruce Coslet would take no more

‘chances. It was time for the ageless

wonder,
