Soe Impeached

By Grec C. HEVIA
SA Reporter

Vice president Skippy
Goldberger has been officially
impeached with a unanimous
vote. | Wednesday’s Central
Council meeting passed the bill
due to Goldberger’s extreme
neglect of official duties. This
does not remove the VP from
office, but it does send the case to
the Supreme Court which will
rule on it. If convicted,
Goldberger will be removed from
office.

The reasons for impeach-
ment run long. During the first
Central Council meeting of the
year, Goldberger threatened to
resign. He did not do so, but he
did appear to be notoriously
absent. Several council mem-
bers testified to having tried to
reach him over the course of the
next few weeks. They left mes-
sages on his voice mail, paged
him, emailed him and left paper
mail for him, none of which was
followed by a reply by
Goldberger. In addition,
Goldberger has failed to hold his
obligatory office hours and had
not appointed any people to the
Student Association directors
positions that he was supposed

to. After the impeachment hear-
ings, SA President Erin
McCampbell and the Central
Council did the job of appointing
said directors. This was just
the beginning of a long night for
Central Council, whose meeting
went until 1:30 a.m..

The next bill to be seen by
Central Council was one that
would give students a chance to
vote on a referendum that would
raise the student activity fee by 5
dollars per semester. The bill
passed, and on October 11 and
12, students can vote in the
Campus Center over whether or
not they want to pay the extra 5
dollars; along with voting in
additional Central Council mem-
bers. If students decide to pay
the additional fee, SA will earn
roughly $100,000 a year for stu-
dent groups.

Another bill passed allows
Central Council Chair Jeremy
Beroza to appoint six council
members to a programming advi-
sory board and an event planning
board. The purpose of these
boards is to find a way to gain
corporate sponsorship for SA
funded events, thus cutting costs
and helping SA put on events and
pay down their debt.

After the passages of these
bills, President McCampbell and

the council began to appoint the
directors that Goldberger had

failed to. The first few of these §

appointments went smoothly and
without contest. Central Council
hit a snag with the appointment

of Joe Attonito as editor-in-chief #&

of The Student Voice. At present
time, Attonito serves on Central
Council, SA Internal affairs,
though not on the Student Voice.
He served as managing editor of
the paper last year. This creates
a conflict of interest when it
comes time to vote on things such
as the budget of the Voice. After
roughly one hour of heated
debates, Central Council decided
on a bill that would. allow
Attonito to do all three. The bill
simply says that Attonito cannot
vote on any Internal affairs or
Central Council matters involv-
ing the Student Voice.

~ Problems struck Attonito
again as well as Andrew
Hartmann and Brian Levine. All
three ran simutaneously for either
VP or President last year, as well
as for Central Council. This is
against the SA constitution and a
bill was brought forward asking
them to resign and run again next
week. Although Levine said that
he knew it was against the consti-
tution, while Hartmann and
Attonito did not, all three said

that the previous administration
had told them that the dual run
was ok. They cannot be kicked
out of their positions now
because the statue of limitaions
has run out. The bill to remove
them was struck down after a
half-hour argument and by one
vote. All three will keep their
positions

When Central Council
finally finished their meeting in
the wee hours of the morning,
everyone was tired and ready to
go home. More important than
this, they accomplished a great
deal of necessary work and are
coming closer to bringing SA
back on its feet and running.

Israeli Supreme Court Justice receives Honorary Degree

By SUZANNE LEONE
Contributing Writer

In honor of the 30 year
anniversary of UAlbany’s Judaic
Studies Program, Aharon Barak,
President of the Supreme Court
of Israel, received the Honorary

Aharon Barak

Index

Degree of the Doctorate of
Laws. This degree is the high-
est honor awarded by UAlbany.
On October 3 at 2:30 p.m., the
ceremony took place in the cam-
pus center’s ballroom. There
were many distinguished guests
and faculty present, including
University President Karen R.
Hitchcock.

The ceremony began with a
speech by President Hitchcock.
Her remarks were short and
filled with praise to the honor
awarded Barak. This included
how she was “moved by his ded-
ication to public service.” The
Honorary Degree Citation was
read by Dr. Martin Edelman,
Professor of Political Science.
Dr. Edelman, along with
Chancellor of The State ‘
University of New York, Robert ~
King, presented Justice Barak
with his degree.

Having served as Israeli

Supreme Court President since
1995, Aharon Barak has earned
his reputation as a humanitarian
through, “self determination to
serve mankind,” said President
Hitchcock. Since his appoint-
ment to the Supreme Court in
1978 Barak has spearheaded the
fight for independence of the
court system. As part of his
many goals, Justice Barak has
tried to integrate American judi-
cial practices into his law estab-
lishment.

Before his appointment to
the Israeli Supreme Court, Barak
served as Israel’s Attorney
General and foreign advisor to
Prime Minister Menachem
Begin. He served as the legal
advisor for the 1979 signing of
the Egyptian-Israeli peace agree-
ment. Barak is also a published
author, having written Judicial
Discretion in 1989. Further
showing his commitment to

higher learning, he was appoint-
ed a full professor of law at
Hebrew University in 1972 and
was promoted to Dean of the
Law Faculty two years later.

Barak received his award to
an enthusiastic applause and ©
spoke on what the honor meant
to him. “It is not only I who
receives this degree but also the
entire Israeli judiciary.” His
statements were focused on what
it is to be a judge and how
essential it is to do the job with-
out arrogance, having the
courage to admit your errors.
“To be truthful to yourself and
your judiciary philosophy”, were
words that echoed in the campus
center’s ballroom.

At the end of his speech
Barak urged the audience to
believe in the spirit and dignity
of all people. He was answered
with a standing ovation.

State Quad
Board on
its way

| By SUZANNE LEONE

Contributing Writer

The State Quad board is offi-
cially up and running. Having
had two meetings already, the
board has elected its executive
board. Tracie Stephen, a sopho-
more, will take the reins as presi-
dent. Margarette Mussa, also a
sophomore, will serve as vice
president. Cassandra Cox is the
board’s new secretary and
frehman Matthew Kreiner is trea-
surer.

The advisors Andrew
Hartmann, 21, and Justin Turnier,
19, are very excited about this
academic year.. The board now
has 20 active members, making
them one of the largest quad
boards. This is quite an improve-
ment from last year, which had
considerably less participation.
Plans in the works include events
celebrating Halloween anda
group trip to support UAlbany’s
basketball team this December in
Syracuse. Another major
endeavor that will be tackled this
year is obtaining an office where
they can be accessed by State
Quad residents.

The board has already hit a
number of obstacles during this
young semester. Being funded by

_ {the Student Association, the board

has limited spending. With only
$250 allocated to them for the
entire year, projects that are
expensive can not be explored.
Hartmann has been talking with
John Baynes, State Quad coordi-
nator, to obtain further funding.
Two years ago its budget included
$700 but unfortunately that has-
decreased over time.

The board wants students to
know that they are there to repre-
sent them, Two main objectives of
the association are to put together
programs for the inclusion of all
residents and to act as an advocate
for any problems encountered. If
you are interested in joining the
State Quad board, meetings are
held Monday nights at 8 p.m. in

the quad penthouse. Feel free to
contact them at X-5920 with any
questions.

The Ranting Raver

The Dr. Laura Dilemma

By JUSTIN KEESEY
Staff Columnist

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is
either someone you love or hate.
Most of us have probably done
something that she would yell at
us for.

She is known for having
strong opinions and_ harsh
advice for those who call into
her radio show. She is also infa-
mous for her belief that homo-
sexuals are deviants and “bio-
logical errors.”

When media outlets that

broadcast unpopular opinions

are boycotted, it creates a chill-
ing effect that can lead to the
homogenization of the media.
This stifling of minority or
unpopular opinions, created by
fears of economic backlash in
our market economy, is equiva-
lent to censorship, not unlike
that of countries without speech
protection.

We don’t have to agree
with Dr. Laura, but we don’t
have to listen to her either. She’s

With the broadcast of her
new television show, the calls
‘for her to be taken off the air
have become louder. Special
interest groups have threatened
to boycott networks and adver-
tisers that carry and support her
show.

She has been toned down
for television, keeping the most
inflammatory of her statements
reserved for the radio. But it
isn’t enough for gay rights
groups, who want her shut down
entirely.

Her show has been tem-
porarily taken off the air for
some supposed “retooling”,
since ratings for the first few
shows were terrible, possibly
because her subject matter was
much more dull on TV.

I don’t care too much for
her opinions. But what I do care
about is what is happening
because of them. She has been
labeled a hatemonger and inhu-
man for things she has said,
mostly about homosexuals. She
is unappologetic, however, I
feel that this is her right.

As Americans, we are guar-
anteed the freedom to say what-
ever we want whenever we
want, regardless of how outra-
geous it may be. We may dis-
agree with the views of the Ku
Klux Klan and other racist
groups, but we have a responsi-
bility to allow them to exist and
hold those views.

As long as what people say
does not condone violence, we
have an obligation to tolerate it.
When it serves their purposes,
everyone loves their First
Amendment rights. But people
tend to ignore others’ rights
when what they say is unpopu-
lar.

' I feel that Schlessinger is
wrong to say that homosexuals
should be excluded from the
protection of hate-crime laws.
She is, however, allowed to say
this. It is the diversity of opin-
ions allowed within America’s
borders that make it free.

I guess sometimes it’s not
the message, but how you pack-
age it. But it is important to
remember that everyone has the
same right to voice their opinion
as everyone else, no matter how
strange, stupid, or wrong we
feel it is. And perhaps the
strongest way to stifle those
who we disagree with is to
ignore them.

Suicide Center Revived

by Tony Gray
Contributing Writer

Suicide is the second leading
cause of death among college
students in New York, according
to vital statistics from the State
Department of Health. The only
free suicide prevention service in
this area, the Samaritans of the
Capital District, was forced to

close in June because it ran out of

money.

Samaritans resumed service
on October 8, 2000 after receiv-
ing enough interim financial
assistance to fund operations
until next May. Their suicide hot-
line number has changed to 689-
HOPE.

Mary Jean Coleman, the
Samaritan’s director, and Mary
Shaw, President of the Board of
Trustees, spent the week after
they closed crying. The two spent
the rest of the summer lining up
funding to restore the group’s
services.

One-time emergency grants
from the Albany County
($40,000) and Rensselaer County
($7,500) Legislatures let the non-
profit pay for necessities like
phone and electric, bills (Sch-
enectady County hasn’t created a
line item but they will rermburse
Samaritans for aid provided to
residents of their county).

Albany’s Council of Com-
munity Services helped broker a
deal that gives the group a short-
term break on rent for the space
they share with Albany’s Family
& Children’s Services. This year
it will pay no rent. Next year the
organization will pay 50% of the
market rent and in 2002 will

begin paying full rent.

Samaritans began serving
the Capital District in 1985. In
the last 15 years they’ ve provided
a compassionate, anonymous
voice for over 140,000 suicidal,
despondent, or lonely area resi-
dents.

Last year the group handled
over 10,000 calls. Operating on a
budget of $50,000 makes them
the Wal-Mart of community ser-
vice organizations.

Despite the proven track
record of continued community
involvement and success the
Samaritans engage in a mad
scramble for funding every year.
Albany County is the only area
government that regularly bud-
gets them, appropriating $10,000
annually. Coleman said Samari-
tans would be set if the five coun-
ties they serve each provided a
commitment of $25,000.

“Suicide isn’t a warm, fuzzy
topic,” said Coleman, explaining
why she believes they’re con-
stantly begging for financial aid.
She thinks that governments con-
sider their services too focused;
not enough people seem to bene-
fit from the money, in the view of
politicians.

Besides intervention, the
group also provides postvention
support to family members and
friends of people who’ve com-
mitted suicide. They provide
non-aggressive assistance for
their callers, whom they know
only by first name, allowing
callers to maintain control at all
times.

People who contact them
can talk about their feelings with-
out having to reveal their identi-
ties. Coleman says no attempt is

Past Irresponsibility Led SA

into Severe Debt

By JAYA JOSHI
Contributing Writer

Over the course of the year the Stu-
dent Association (SA) will be making
many adjustments to help keep their
$450,000 debt under control. “SA is
doing its part, it is time for individual
groups to take accountability,” SA Presi-
dent Erin McCampbell said. McCampbell
and Mike Kozol, the comptroller, have
been dealing with the problem directly,
trying their best to solve it.

After Rashiem-Ahmed Rooke left the
office of President in 1998 the SA was
$221,000 in debt. The overspending by
President Ashwani Prabhakar’s adminis-
tration left SA $251,000 in debt. After
Prabhakar’s term ended in 1999 the orga-
nization was forced to take their second
line of credit from the bank, The first hav-
ing been taken a year earlier. Before
Chuck Snell took office the SA was
$251,000 in debt from the overexpendi-
ture of Rooke plus $30,000 from Presi-
dent Prabhakar’s term. At the end of last
year SA was roughly $450,000 in debt.
$199,000 of the debt was from President
Snell’s term.

The SA is given approximately $1.6
million annually. This money is supposed
to be divided evenly within the organiza-
tion. By next summer, because of con-
stant liabilities to the bank, SA will only
be receiving a $300,000 credit line. This
continuous struggle for money is only
allowing the SA approximately $1.1 mil-
lion dollars, in comparison to the $1.6
million they should be starting with.

According to McCampbell, students

continue to overspend the budget and
think the problem lies in the hands of SA.
McCampbell states, “It is not fair to the
groups that remain within their budget.
If the same organizations continue to go
over the budget there will be a cut!” Past
programming director Steadman Samp-
son played a significant part in analyzing
the SA’s debt, going over the budget
many times.

The SA has made several cuts in an
attempt to control the budget. This year
there will be a 10 percent cut of all work-
ers. The Cultural Carnival will be post-
poned, conferences have been cancelled,
and t-shirt production for the freshman
class is also cancelled. Ralph Duran,
Programming Director, has sacrificed
$50,000 and agreed to cancel Comedy
Night (which featured Sinbad last year).
Organizations such as the American Col-
legiate Intramural Athletics and Hillel
took action and sought outside sponsors.
SA is continuing to fundraise and will
also seek corporate sponsors. McCamp-
bell claims, “This will be a tough semes-
ter, moreover, a tough year.”

According to McCampbell students
are ignoring the fact that they are over-
spending. Instead student officers are
saying that both McCampbell and Kozol
are being too strict. “The bottom line is
that there is no money,” states McCamp-
bell. If the individual groups do not take
responsibility for themselves, SA will
continue to go downhill, leading to the
elimination of the SA. Overall,
McCampbell states, “Everyone needs to
take action and the only way we can do
that is to work together.”

AlbanySux.Com Lives

By Amy Rosenbaum
Contributing Writer

If you possess the right to freedom of
speech, why not exercise it? That’s what
Dan Lutker and Matt Deller decided to
do when they created the now infamous
AlbanySux.com. Lutker originated the
idea for the seemingly derisive yet enter-

sition to his friend Deller, the two decided it
would be a worthwhile undertaking. They
began with the objective, “to make this
place better by any means possible’, as
stated on the website’s home page.

A week later, on March 21, 2000,
“AlbanySux” was born. Flyers promoting
the site were circulating campus. The fly-
ers brought some unwanted attention from
the school administration. Three days after
the site’s debut, the police entered Lutker’s

Making Relationships Work

By JILL CIRCELLI
Middle Earth Outreach Coordinator

Do you ever find yourself spending
more time talking to your friends about
your relationship with your boyfriend or
girlfriend than you actually do with him or
her? Does it seem that you are constantly
complaining to those friends about how
your boyfriend or girlfriend never seems to
have enough time for you or that your part-

“Students

doesn’t understand why you’re so Helping
busy?
It is very understandable to be con- Sfudenfs”

cerned about these issues. It is also very
important to have a support group of
friends, family or a counselor when you are
struggling with relationship issues. How-
ever, if you communicate your concerns to
your partner directly in addition to talking
to your friends, it may help decrease your
frustrations within your relationship. It is
important for both partners in a relationship
to express their positive and negative feel-
ings, needs, wants, and complaints about
their relationship to each other as well as
their affection for each other for a relation-
ship to be healthy.

When you think your partner is too
busy to spend time with you, try not to
jump to the conclusion that they do not
want to spend time with you. Express this
concern by telling your partner how this
makes you feel and why you think you are
feeling this way. Give your partner the
opportunity to explain how they feel about
your situation. It is very important to listen
to your partner and try to understand the
position they are coming from. Also, if you

are bothered that your partner does not
understand why you are so busy, talk to
them directly about it. Ask your partner to
try to understand where you are coming
from. Assure your partner that spending
time with them is very important to you.
Many people are very busy when they are
involved in school, work, clubs, sports,
internships, or fraternities or sororities.
However, it is important to treat your time
with your partner with as much respect as
you would with your supervisor or boss.
Once your thoughts and feelings have been
communicated and you have established a
common understanding of each other’s sit-
uation it is a good idea to make special time
to spend with each other.

Effective communication does not
develop overnight. It takes time, patience,
understanding and willingness to listen to
each other’s concerns. Remember that it

takes work to make a relationship.

Canadian band reinvents music

By Puitie RAFFAELE
Contributing Writer

The monotony of popular
music has a new enemy. ‘The
insightful, political, and musical-
ly over-inclined group Godspeed
you Black Emperor! Formed
around 1993, and with a number
of very limited cassette releases,
they won the hearts of indie-
rockers all over the world. After
their official debut album
f#a#[infinity], they wowed critics
with their follow up EP, Slow
Riot for new Zero Kanada. Slow
Riot features the breathtaking
track “Moya”, where the crescen-
do effect that populates their
music is demonstrated to the
fullest extent of their musical

prowess.
The group’s name _ was
adapted from a documentary by
Mitsuo Yanagimachi, a Japanese
director. To many fans the music
seems like it could be the sound-
track to their birth and death,
their happiest moments in life,
and the most depressing times.
Godspeed You Black Emperor!,
consisting of approximately 10
members, creates a musical land-
scape utilizing cellos and a myri-
ad of drummers, bassists, and
guitarists. Comparisons have
been made to European bands
such as Mogwai and Sigur Ros,
but Godspeed You Black Emper-
or! holds a style all its own.
Godspeed You Black Emper-
or! played two sold out perfor-
mances in August at the Knitting

Factory in New York City. Dur-
ing a benefit for the Anthology
Film Archives, the group helped
to raise money, as well as deliver-
ing a set of stellar shows. Before
playing, the group showcased a
number of Canadian independent
films which demonstrated some
of its influences. Controversial
political statements are explored
through a number of chilling nar-
rative monologues and _inter-
views that weave through their
unique sound.

On October 23, Godspeed
You Black Emperor! will release
Lift your Skinny Fists like Anten-
nas to Heaven on their vinyl! dis-
tributor Constellation Records
(through Kranky Records on
compact disc). Featuring many
songs previously played only

. 1/4 mile aland on the left

live, this is sure to be one of the
most impressive albums released
this year.

You won’t find this band at
the Grammy awards or on MTV,
but that is not an excuse to dis-
miss them. It’s an incentive to
experience some musical genius
that lies outside of the sphere of
popular music. Some people can
be content with the new Kid
Rock album, or the “overlooked”
Eminem album, but for people
tired of the same old recycled
crap out there, and looking to
stimulate their musical appetites,
check this band out. They are
rumored to be touring with
Radiohead in the near future, so
don’t delay any longer. In the
band’s own words; “the van is
gassed but the pistons are

cracked, and when we close our

eyes alls we can see is: open
road, telephone poles, a sun that
is always setting, and a tangled
up melody falling down slow-
as

- Kid Rock joined Phish for a
few songs at their recent show in
Las Vegas, marking the first time
rap and hippies met.

- Freak of the week Beck is slat-
ed to guest star on an episode of
FOX’s Futurama.

- Prepubescent rap star lil’ bow
wow recently made a guest
appearance at HMV record
Herald Square. The over sized
crowd of lil’ dogz soon forced
the place to shut down.

- British eurotrash singer Robbie
William recently lost a copyright
suit for a song of his which con-
tained lyrics too similar to a
Woody Guthrie track for the
courts to stomach.

Puerto Ricans everywhere
rejoice, the messiah has returned.
Ricky Martin will soon drop his
second album in English entitled
sound loaded.

The Albany Student Press and

Sex with hi-liters: The only music I hate is show tunes

By KENNY HERZOG
Staff Writer

While on leave from Albany
recently, a disturbing situation
interrupted my _non-cerebral
bliss. While focusing on the
magic ability of my egg salad to
cure a wicked hangover, some
New Paltz art student informed
my sandwich and I that we
should aid her ground breaking
essay on why “music and cinema
are dead.”

She needed my help with a
list of genuine musical innova-
tors. The reason, my acquain-
tance admitted, being her own
lack of knowledge about the sub-
ject of music in general. The
topic lent itself to her like a motel
room to an affair. Her request was
quickly amended, however, as
she stated that rap was not to be
included. I supposed that being
so informed on the historical con-
text of the genre, she was proba-
bly in a position to assume its
lack of significance.

Hip-hop isn’t alone in this
state of baseless condemnation, It
is, however, the most convenient
example to help highlight how
most people between the ages of

Generation X-Z either limit their
musical tastes to one genre or
simply close themselves off to
certain ones for reasons.

Outside of the music itself.
Maybe it’s the fault of main-
stream media. Perhaps it’s the
borderline-Jetsons, techno-soci-
ety in which those around my age
grew up. It could even be the
sheerly overwhelming volume of
truly bad, cliché driven material
that serves to further drown out
true artistic integrity.

Obviously, it’s all of these
things. As a collective, they
appear to be powerful. And they
are, on the surface, pretty intimi-
dating. Enough at least to the
point where they can be used as
an excuse. Now I’m not about to
suggest that all people should be
devoutly passionate and learned
about the wide world of music.

All I’m saying is that if
someone’s going to sit there and
stereotype or propose some sort
of broad hypothesis, they could
make an effort to educate their
statements out of respect for their
conversation partner or keyboard,
and mostly, out of courtesy to
themselves. Would it really be
that bad to become familiar with
the lineage of music in our coun-

try, being as it is a key component
of our art - one of the remaining
substantial links to our culture
and heritage?

Worst comes to worst, one
might come to appreciate and
understand something new. Best
case scenario, you discover
something that makes your brain
fizz or find a friend for your emo-
tions every time you hear that
certain song stream through your
stereo.

What’s truly perplexing
about this ritualistic pigeonholing
though, is that this kind of unfair
treatment doesn’t seem to cross
the boundaries of all forms of
entertainment. Musical multiplic-
ity, while not necessary, seems
like it should be automatic. At
least as much as it is when it
comes to something like books,
let’s say.

A given person probably
does not get the same pleasure
from reading a Jack Kerouac
novel as one from Anne Rice.
However, I think you’d be hard
pressed to find too many of the
latter’s readers who would make
the kind of gross generalization
about Kerouac that my friend
applied to the genre of rap. In the
literary world, it is more often

than not understood that different
writers are doing different things
and each piece of work should be
taken in the context of which it
was written. So to say that On the
Road sucked because it wasn’t
like Interview With the Vampire
would be ludicrous.

Which is why almost no one
would utter those words. Yet,
nine times out of ten someone
who doesn’t enjoy hip-hop or
relate to punk rock, will condemn
it as an art form essentially
because it goes about creating its
music differently than what
they’re used to listening to or
have been exposed to.

If that’s too complicated a
task, one could even think along
opposite lines. When it comes
down to it, music is so multi-lay-
ered and outward branching that
it all inevitably springs together
from a central part - each style
somehow being an extension of
the other. Much like many col-
lege professors now argue that all
their disciplines are interconnect-
ed, so are the many brands of
music.

If in education, there’s a sim-
ilar train of thought driving the
essence of literary, communica-
tion, and scientific studies, so too

is there one pushing along the
worlds of rock, punk, jazz, funk,
and yes, hip-hop.

The first field is, at the heart
of it, searching for an answer as
to why we’re here and how this
world revolves around us in the
manner in which it does. The
other then, is looking for differ-
ent ways to creatively interpret
that rhythm which serves as the
pulse of our everyday lives. In
both cases, all facets of each can
and do take bits and pieces of the
others to form the whole puzzle
that comprises our culture.

So, egg salad in one hand,
trusty pen in the other, I agreed to
make miss New Paltz her little
list. I included the likes of every-
one from The Beatles to Iggy
Pop. Then I threw in artists like
Miles Davis and James Brown.
Oh, and I figured I’d toss in Run
D.M.C., Public Enemy, and A
Tribe Called Quest. It only
seemed appropriate, as they’re
such a logical and necessary
extension of jazz, blues, and
funk. But its not like I had to tell
my trendy friend this, as I’m sure
that being the open minded-crea-
ture she is, she’d understand.

He's cool. He’s clean. He’s a love machine. | |

Resignation
for
Republicans?

Dear Editor:

In accordance with the
Constitution, the American
public should urge the resig-
nation of almost every Repub-
lican for:

(1) Treason: One nuclear
submarine could destroy any
country on Earth before the
Reagan presidency. Yet the
Republicans still spent tril-
lions of the national wealth on
defense. They have continued
to spend more trillions after
the cold war ended in 1991,

(2) Bribery: Republicans
have received billions in
explicit or implicit bribes
from defense contractors,
tobacco companies, billion-

A. bit-of- eek

Dear Kelly,

I am hoping that this is the
kind of question that you were
looking for. In a couple week-
ends I’m going home with my
boyfriend to meet his parents for
the first time. We both met this
summer at work here in Albany
and have been together three
months now. I’m very nervous
because he is an only child and
his mother is very over protective
of him. She usually attempts to
chase away his past girlfriends,
because she thinks they are not
good enough for him. How
should I act around his parents,
especially his mother, so that she
accepts me? Please help me,
before I decide to cancel on the
trip.

Thank you,
The Other Woman

Dear Other Woman,

First and foremost, relax!
The most important piece of
advice I can give you is to just be
yourself. Don’t try to impress
your boyfriend’s mother, because

Find everything you need to
know about grad school at
www.petersons.com/campus

most likely she can spot a phony
a mile away if she’s been chasing
away his past girlfriends.

If you’re really concerned
about making a good first impres-
sion and continuing the relation-
ship with your boyfriend and his
family, these little tips may help:
Don’t hang all over him at his
parents house. The whole public
display of affection isn’t some-
thing that his family wants to see.
Whatever affection stage you two
are at, tone it down a few notches
with his family around and in
time it will be a little more
acceptable. Another suggestion is
to bring something with you to
give to his family, like a bouquet
of flowers or a baked good from
a local bakery. And if you’re
staying the weekend at their
house, make sure to write a thank
you note to his parents for their
hospitality and making you feel
welcome in their home.

If you can prove to his moth-
er that you’re not stealing her lit-
tle boy (by hanging all over him),
while being polite and respectful,

you'll be fine. Just remember to
be yourself, don’t attach yourself
to his hip, and be polite. Best
wishes and good luck!

Kelly

Dear Kelly,

I’m a freshman at Albany
and I have a problem. I hate all
my classes, the University, and I
have not made any friends here. I
want to drop out of school, but
my parents would be so angry at
me and | don’t want to go home.
My father wants me to go into
math, so that’s what I came here
to do, except I’m finding out how
much I hate math. I’m not a quit-
ter, but I am really unhappy and I
can’t tell my parents, they would
be so disappointed in me. What
should I do?

Unhappy Freshman

Dear Unhappy Freshman,

I’ve had so many people tell
me how difficult one’s freshman
year can be, and seeing as I was
once a freshman, I can vouch for
that same fact. Once you get

AND YOU
DON’T KNOW
SQUAT.

through your freshman year,
things really seem to start falling
into place with the rest of your
academic career. For many stu-
dents, this is the first time ever
being away from home, which
can be a huge adjustment in
itself. Going from having a struc-
tured lifestyle with your parents,
to basically doing pretty much
anything you want is a incredible
adjustment to grapple with.

All of the kinks that you’re
running into can easily be fixed,
with the right people to help you.
I have to be honest, I’m not a
math person either, but I figured
that problem out my freshman
year in high school, which is why
I’m an English major now. At
any rate, make an appointment to
talk with your adviser to see
about looking into another major
or signing up for classes that you
might be interested in learning
more about next semester.

As far as not making any
friends since you’ve been here,
more people than you know are
probably in the same boat. There

YOU’RE DRIVEN.
YOU’RE TALENTED.

are actually a lot of ways you can
meet new people. If you’re will-
ing to try new things, these sug-
gestions might work for you.
UAlbany has quite a few differ-
ent clubs and organizations that
has something for everyone.
Keep an eye out around the podi-
um for club postings and head
over to one of their informational
meetings. Another suggestion is
to find someone that you usually
sit near in a class and strike up a
conversation with them. Ask
them about last night’s home-
work, or if they’d like to get
together and study for next
week’s test. The more you open
up to others and involve yourself
within the UAlbany community,
you’ ll start to see yourself filling
up your calendar and meeting
new people.

As far as your parents are
concerned, you’re in college to
get YOUR education. If-your dad
is so interested in math, let him
go back to school for four years
and get a degree in math, while
you spend your college career
doing something you are interest-
ed in. When these next four years
are up, you'll end up looking
back at them, thinking what a
piece of cake they really turned

A word from
a Central

Council
Candidate

Dear Editor:

I would like to take this time
to introduce myself to you and
your readers. My name is Dan Fin-
german and I am a candidate to
represent State Quad in the Central
Council. I am running because |
feel that the Student Association
has much more potential to better
the lives of the students of Albany.

We need to work together to
ensure that the Student Association
gets out of debt, that the individuals
who abused the organization are
held accountable, and that we and
our successors are never in this
position. Having been greatly
involved in the student government
of my high school and in numerous
political campaigns I feel I have the
experience to represent the people
of State Quad.

If you feel, as I do, that we
need to restore the respect and
honor that the Student Association
deserves, come with me and
together we will bring the group to
new heights. I hope the people of
State Quad will support me.
Together we will better the lives of
all the students of UAlbany.

Thank you, and please don’t
forget to vote October 11 and 12
from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the Student
Association Lounge.

Sincerely,
Dan Fingerman

Dane of the Week

Jamie Rodriguez

Sport: Cross Country
Year: Junior
Major: Art

Accomplishments: After placing third at the Fordham Invitational and
winning the Orange Classic in Syracuse, Rodriguez put together the
finest race of his career thus far and one of, if not the best performance
in the history of UAlbany Cross Country. Rodriguez won the 27th
annual. Stanford Invitational collegiate open section in Palo Alto,
California, with a time of 24:54 over the eight-kilometer course. He
won the race by 31 seconds and ran the second fastest time of the day.
Stanford’s All-American Jonathan Riley, one of the favorites to win
this year’s national title, bested Rodriguez’s time by only 10 seconds.

After losing to nationally ranked Massacusetts, the Lady Danes
have won three games in a row to go over .500 for the first time since
they were 2-1! carly in the season. A tough early season schedule result-
ed in a slow start for Albany, who have outscored their last three oppo-
nents by a combined score of 17-3. They defeated Maine, 5-2,
Westchester, 4-1, and Siena, 8-0 during their recent winning streak.
Albany looks to continue their winning ways this week when they visit
LaSalle and host Colgate.

Junior Jamie Rodriguez con-
tinued his dominant cross country
campaign Saturday by winning
the open collegiate section of the
27th annual Stanford Cross
Country Invitational. Rodriguez
ran 24-minutes, 54-seconds to
lead the Danes to a 10th place fin-
ish while freshman Jessica
Walton paced the women’s team
to 15th place.

The invitational was com-
prised of a collegiate section in
which both UAlbany teams. com-
peted, and a championship sec-
tion. Despite the fact that he was
in a slower race, Rodriguez was
beaten by only one runner the
whole day. All-American
Jonathan Riley of Stanford,
arguably one of the best distance
runners in the country and one of
the favorites to win the national
championship, ran only 10 sec-
onds faster than Rodriguez over
the eight-kilometer course.

“It’s somewhat exciting
being that close to a runner like
him, but it just tells me that my
training is putting me where I
need to be right now,” said
Rodriguez.

Despite his excellent perfor-
mance, the men’s team was very
disappointed in their overall fin-

File Photo

Jamie Rodriguez has been the top
runner for the Danes all season

ish, which was marred by poor
races from three of their top run-
ners.

“We came into the race
thinking that we had a very legit-
imate shot at winning,” said
junior Dan Sawtelle, who was the
Danes fifth man finishing in
28:00 for 87th place on the day.
“Jeff, Adam and myself ran horri-
bly. Luckily Matt DeNyse was
there to pick up the slack.”
DeNyse, a junior, was the Danes
third runner finishing 66th in
27:37 with senior captain Mike
Kiernan just ahead in second for
Albany with a time of 26:49, fin-
ishing in 37th place. Senior Jeff

Brooks was fourth for UAlbany,
running 27:54 for 80th place.

On the impressive perfor-
mance by DeNyse, Kiernan said,
“Matt’s been a pleasant surprise
to this year’s team, and hopefully
he’ ll continue running like this all
the way to regionals.”

On the women’s side fresh-
man Jessica Walton once again
led the Danes, finishing 26th,
covering the five-kilometer
course in a time of 19:46. They
were again however without the
much needed point contribution
of sophomore Zerlinda Martinez,
when she was forced to drop out
mid-race with a nagging ankle
injury. Finishing second for the
Danes was senior co-captain
Nicole Herring in 56th with a
time of 20:14, followed by junior
Laura Kearns who took 71st in
20:31. Rounding out the top five
for UAlbany were junior Megan
Roeder in 122nd (21:31) and
sophomore Erin Goddard
151st place (22:03).

Effecting both teams was the
California heat, as the tempera-
ture soared to 93 degrees at race
time.

“The heat on top of the trav-
el might have left us a little flat,”
coach Kevin Williams said. “We
ran well, but not as well as we
could have.”

Hall of fame induction Saturday

By DAN SAWTELLE
Associate Sports Editor

On Saturday, Albany will
enshrine three former athletes
into its Athletic Hall of Fame at
the 17th annual HOF Brunch and
Induction Ceremony. The new
inductees and their respective
sports are: Jeffrey York ‘96, track
and field, Pat Ryder ‘90, football,
and Jack Jordon ‘72, basketball.

Jeffrey York is the most dec-
orated men’s track and field ath-

arguably one of the most success-
ful athletes to compete for
Albany. His accomplishments in
the sport of track and field are too
numerous to name, but include
five national titles in the hurdles,
a feat equaled by only Frostburg
State’s Maynard Hurd.

York, the 1994-95 Universi-
ty Male Athlete of the Year, won
two 55-hurdles titles (°92, ‘95),
and three 110-hurdles crowns
(91, ‘92, ‘95). As a senior, York
was the 1995 NCAA Division III
champion in both the indoor 55-

110-hurdles, a feat he also
accomplished in ‘92, making him
only the second athlete to do so in
NCAA Division III history. In
that same season, York became
UAlbany’s first-ever IC4A cham-
pion by winning the 55-hurdles in
a meet record time of 7.23 sec-
onds to beat an all Division I
field. York then went on to post
an NCAA meet and track record
at indoor nationals.

He added to that title with a
victory in the outdoor 110-hur-
dles final with a time of 13.85

lete in school history, and meter hurdles and the outdoor seconds, Adding to his impres-

sive resume are seven school
records in individual and relay
events, including the 110-hurdles
mark of 13.81 seconds, and
indoor 50-, 55-, and 60-meter
hurdles standards.

At age 28, York still com-
petes on the national scene,
recently making it to the semifi-
nals of the 110-hurdles at the
2000 Olympic Trials in Sacra-
mento, California where he ran a
personal best time of 13.49. This
time would have been good
enough for seventh place in the
Olympic finals last week. He is
currently in his third year as an
assistant track coach on Roberto
Vives’ UAlbany staff, working
specifically with the sprinters and
hurdlers.

Jack Jordan played varsity
basketball for UAlbany from
1968-71, and is among the
school’s all-time scorers and
rebounders. As a 6-foot, 175-
pound forward he became the
sixth player in school history to
score 1,000 career points. He is
currently 23rd on the all-time
scoring list with 1,011 points,
10th in career rebounding (658),
ninth in career scoring average at
14.9 points per game, and fifth in
career rebounding average at 9.7
per game.

Jordan’s teams were a com-
bined 48-19 during his career,
and were known for their sticky
man-to-man defense. He was a
starter on the first Albany basket-
ball team to qualify for the
NCAA Tournament, and scored
22 points en route to an 85-70
victory over Siena to give Coach
Richard “Doc” Sauers his 250th
career win.

In 1968-69, Jordan averaged
12.5 points and 8.8 rebounds, as
the Great Danes posted an 18-6
record and reached the NCAA
College Division Tournament
East Regional in Syracuse, New
York. As a junior, Jordan led
Albany to the Capital District
Tournament championships with
an all-tournament performance.
He later went on to earn All-
Metroland recognition, and was
the squad’s top scorer (16.5ppg)
and rebounder (11.6pg). Jordan
also played on the UAlbany

ifreshmen team in 1967-68. His

24.7. scoring average nearly
broke the frosh single-season

record.

With a B.S. in accounting,
Jordan is currently the Director of
Bureau of Compliance and Audit
within the New York State
Department of Health. He lives in
Clifton Park, N.Y. with his wife
Patti, and their four children,
Michael, Tom, Anne, and John.

Pat Ryder was a member of
the UAlbany football team from
1986-89 and was considered one
of the top quarterbacks in the pro-
gram’s 28-year history. Ryder, a
6-foot-3, 200-pound athlete, won
four varsity letters and received
the team’s most valuable player
award on three occasions. He
ended his career with 14 school
records, and in 1989 became just
the second player to finish the
season as both the squad’s top
passer and rusher.

Ryder is second on the
school’s all-time lists in passing
yards (3,153), completions (233),
and attempts (514), and is tied for
second with 25 touchdown pass-
es. He is also known however, as
one of the most elusive running
quarterbacks in UAlbany history.
Ryder is currently fourth on the
all-time rushing list with 2,245
yards. Ryders unique combina-
tion of both scrambling and pass-
ing abilities place him second on
the career total offense chart with
5,398 yards, and 11th in career
all-purpose yards. He held the
career scoring lead for nearly a
decade until his standard was
eclipsed last year. He scored 30
touchdowns and accounted for
186 points. His 30 rushing touch-
downs is still an all-time mark.

Ryder currently resides in his
hometown of Newburgh, N.Y.,
and has remained a small busi-
ness owner there for the last six
years. He owns a small Subway
franchise in Red Hook, N.Y. and
a convenience store in New-
burgh. Ryder graduated with a
B.S. in economics and a minor in
business administration.

The induction ceremony will
take place in the Recreation and
Convocation Center (RACC)
Athletic Hall of Fame Room on
Campus.

pave way to victory

Albany won their first game
of the season in convincing fash-
ion at Stony Brook 47-14 on
Saturday afternoon.

After three weeks of inconsis-
tency and bad play, the Danes
struck back in a hard way. The
scoring started with eight minutes
remaining in the first quarter
when Brian Manigault rushed for
a touchdown from one-yard out.
The Seahawks (2-2, 1-2 NEC)
tied the game with a touchdown

run of their own by Ralph
Menendez late in the first quarter.
The Danes (1-3, 1-1 NEC) domi-
nated from that point, scoring 17
consecutive points. Bryan
Bagstad booted a 45-yard field
goal to put the Danes up by three
points. Quarterback Marcus
Rotondi increased the lead to 10
with a two-yard touchdown run,
and connected with Jonathan
Garrick for another score.

Stony Brook attempted to
rally back as they cut the lead
down to 10 with an 80-yard
touchdown reception, but Albany
stifled their momentum when

J.T. Herfurth and the rest of the Danes offensive line helped pave the way for

329 rushing yards against Stony Brook.

Bryan Bagstad connected on a
field goal with seven seconds left
in the first half.

The Danes defense was able

to step up and prevent Stony
Brook from scoring in the second
half of the contest. Linebacker
Tim Campe ran a fumble back for
a 58-yard touchdown, followed
by Manigault’s run in from two
yards out for his second touch-
down of the game. Tex Wilson
capped off the game with a 70-
yard touchdown run.
Albany’s strategy of using the
running game clearly worked as
the Danes rushed for 329 yards,
the fourth-highest total in confer-
ence history. Six Danes rushed
for more than 20 yards, and
Manigault led the effort with a
career-high 98 yards on 20 car-
ries. Albany was able to control
their weak passing game as
starter Marcus Rotondi complet-
ed five-of-eight passes for 39
yards. Chris Phillis led Albany’s
receiving corps with 31 yards on
four catches. Seawolves quarter-
back Ralph Menendez led Stony
Brook with 262 yards on 14 com-
pletions, but it wasn’t enough to
stop the Danes.

Albany’s defense also came
up big in the game as they were
able to force three fumbles.
Linebacker Ryan MacLean led
the team with nine tackles to go
along with his interception and
blocked punt. The 14 points
scored against the Danes was the
lowest of the season.

Albany’s next game is Saturday
as the Danes take on St. Francis
(PA) in an NEC showdown.
