Council Chair Meyer resigns amid criticism

By Andrea Orrill

‘STAFF WRITER

After lengthy debate at
Wednesday’s Central Council
meeting, Sara Meyer submitted
her resignation as Central Council
chair.

“Right now I feel that Council
is broken in half,” Meyer said.
After announcing her resignation,
Meyer said she will remain a
member of Central Council and a
new chair will be elected at this
week’s meeting.

The resignation concluded a
three-hour discussion which
began with State Quad represen-
tative James Lamb’s motion to
remove the chair.

Rumors about a pending im-
peachment have been circulating
the past few weeks.

Acting Council Chair Flip
Posner called Wednesday’s
meeting ‘‘a black day in SA’s
history. I hope we can move for-
ward from here.”

“We're representatives of the

students and they want a
change,’’ Lamb said.

According to Lamb, ‘‘There
are personal conflicts in this body
and we’re all aware of them.””

Meyer said that she had always
tried to do her job well and that
“there are tensions that exist
within Council, but I don’t think
they’re because of me.””

Many Council representatives
said they felt Central Council has
been suffering from strong inter-
nal conflicts since the beginning

Poll: SUNYA cheating a problem

of the semester.

Newly-elected Colonial Quad
Representative Alan Rafterman
said many members felt in-
timidated into choosing sides in
the divided Council.

“We have a problem and peo-
ple who don’t think that they’re
on the ‘right side’ feel that they’re
going to be threatened,”’ Rafter-
man said.

Meyer, however, said ‘‘I really
think that people who have had
problems have not attempted to
speak with me.”

According to Alumni Quad
representative Jonathan Waks,
“As Central Council chair, the
job is to direct, her job is to head
this Council properly — not to in-
fluence votes.””

Waks said that Meyer had tried
to persuade him to vote in certain
ways, had tried to ‘‘determine
who” his friends were, and had
circulated a derogatory note
about him to other Council
members.

Meyer denied that she tried to
influence either votes or friend-
ships. She said, in fact, that cer-
tain Council members had ap-
proached her before the SA spr-
ing election warning that if she
didn’t support ‘‘their’’ candidate,
she’d regret it.

Central Council secretary
Grace Apollonio admitted that
Meyer had tampered with the
minutes from a Central Council
meeting after they had been
sealed.

“This shows that Sara is letting
too much personal business get
involved with her business.
There’s no personal life in your
business here at SA,”” Waks said.

Also discussed was Meyer’s
working relationship with
members of SA’s executive
branch.

SA President Matt Doddo
described his working relation-
ship with Meyer as “‘nonexistent”’
and said ‘‘it’s deteriorated ever
since the year began.”

Meyer said, however, ‘The
role of the Central Council chair
is not to be best friends with the
executive branch.””

SA Controller Rob Kaplan said
Meyer is “‘very personable. I
don’t have any problem with
her.”

Several members of both Cen-
tral Council and SA executive
branch said that Meyer had
troubled relationships with some
SA group leaders.

According to Doddo, ‘“‘A lot of
people have said that they can’t
work with the chair of council.”

Doddo said, ‘‘As president,
part of my job is to listen to com-
plaints about Sara Meyer. Too
many council members want to
quit.””

Natasha Levinson, a founding
member of the Student Coalition
Against Apartheid and Racism
(SCAAR) ‘said she left Meyer’s
office. in tears after asking her
about budget policy.

She felt she was treated ‘‘rude-
ly” and ‘twas so annoyed by the
way I was being approached.””

According to Meyer, ‘‘Natasha
verbally attacked me.”

SA Educational Affairs Director James
Deitz and Eric Lieberman, chair of
Academic Affairs Committee of Central
Council, met with Sung Bok Kim, dean of
Undergraduate Studies, to discuss the
results and make suggestions for change.

Of 208 SUNYA students surveyed at
random, 144 thought cheating was a pro-
blem on this campus, 174 had witnessed
cheating, and 96 had cheated themselves.

“We expected that there’d be a problem
[with cheating] but we couldn’t go to the
administration without student backing,
and the survey was the best way,”’ Lieber-
man said.

Surveys were also sent to 75 professors,
out of which 16 were returned, two of
which were blank. Of the 14 who com-
pleted the survey, 13 professors felt
cheating was a problem at SUNYA and 11
suspected cheating in their own classes, ac-
cording to Lieberman.

Kim said he felt professors were con-
cerned about this issue, but so few return-
ed the survey ‘“‘only because professors
tend to be absent-minded.”

A resolution titled ‘Academic
Dishonesty In the Classroom’’ was in-
troduced to Central Council by Dietz,
Lieberman, and the Academic Affairs
Committee, which stated that, “‘We have

concluded that there exists a problem with
cheating on this campus.””

The resolution suggested that because
“no attempts are being made on the part
of the administration to correct this pro-
blem”’ that a committee be formed ‘‘with
significant student representation, in an ef-
fort to bring this problem to an end.”

Kim said that he was ‘‘grateful SA has
taken up this issue.”

Prevention [of cheating] is more impor-
tant than punishment,”’ Kim said. oO

at Syracuse U.

Syracuse
(AP) Nation of Islam leader Louis Far-
rakhan delivered his message of improv-
ing black social and economic conditions
after a protest rally which officials had
feared could turn violent went off
peacefully outside a Syracuse University
auditorium.

The demonstrators chanted slogans,
carried banners, and sang songs, in-
cluding the national anthem of Israel, to
protest the speech, but there were no in-
cidents despite heightened tensions bet-
ween black and Jewish groups.
Farrakhan attacked religious, political,
economic, and scientific institutions in a
90-minute speech at the university’s
Schine Student Center, saying they had
perpetuated an attitude of white
supremacy over the course of American
history.

Farrakhan delivered a similar presenta-

Arab leaders meet

Amman, Jordan
(AP) Arab League leaders began meeting
behind closed doors at a summit marked
by calls to pressure Iran into a cease-fire
with Iraq and to allow Egypt back into the
league.

After the 21 Arab leaders opened the
summit with a public session Sunday, Iraq
said an Iranian missile plunged into a
densely populated quarter of Baghdad, its
capital. It said the missile killed 10 civilians
and wounded 106, many of them women
and children.

Iran said it fired two missiles at Baghdad
to counter Iraqi attacks it said were aimed
at impressing the Arab summit. Iran also
said it will not be pressured by anyone into
agreeing to end the 7-year-old Persian Gulf
war

IRA claims bombing

Enniskillen, Northern Ireland
(AP) The Irish Republican Army Monday

admitted planting a bomb that killed 11
civilians and injured 63 but said it intended

to kill security forces and the device went
off prematurely.

In a statement issued to news agencies in
Dublin, the Irish capital, the outlawed na-
tionalist guerrilla group said it deeply
regretted Sunday’s bombing.

The statement said an IRA unit planted
the bomb with the aim of killing British
soldiers and Northern Ireland police, but
had not triggered the radio-controlled
device.

The statement, coded in a way that
vouched for its authenticity, said there was
a “battle for supremacy between the IRA
and the British army’s electronic engineers
in the use of remote control bombs. We
deeply regret that occurred.”’

Explosion kills 30

Colombo, Sri Lanka
(AP) A bomb exploded Monday in a
crowded area near downtown Colombo,
killing at least 30 people and injuring
scores of others, witnesses said.

There were piles of bodies on sidewalks
and vehicles burning in the streets after the
5:40 p.m. explosion, said reporters at the
scene.

The bomb went off near the police sta-
tion in the Maradana neighborhood, about
a mile east of the capital’s downtown area.

Deficit talks persist

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Congressional and White House of-
ficials, returning today for a third week of
talks on how to shrink the federal deficit,
concede they still have plenty of work to
do before they can shake hands on a
package.

“We are sort of in the last 100 yards of a
quarter-mile race,” House Budget Com-
mittee Chairman William H. Gray III (D-
Pa.) said Sunday.

Gray, addressing a convention on
women and the Constitution in
Philadelphia, said negotiators were $4
billion apart on revenues and $2 billion
apart on spending in their attempt to reach
a $23 billion deficit-reduction package.

He did not provide specifics of the
package, which he said will emerge from a
“budget summit” called in the wake of the
Oct. 19 stock market crash.

Peace plan reviewed

Washington, D.C.

foreign ministers meeting in Washington
to review the Central America peace

The ministers are attending the annual
Organization of American States General

Cuomo OKs changes
Albany
(AP) .Gov. Mario Cuomo announced

Monday that he had approved amend-
ments to the Master Plan for Management
of State Lands in the Adirondack Park.

The amendments, the first full revision
of the master plan since 1979, incorporate
proposed classifications for state lands ac-
quired in the Adirondacks from 1982
through 1986.

Among the acquisitions are the
17,000-acre Perkins Clearing Tract in
Hamilton County and the 6,000-acre
Wilderness Lakes Tract in Herkimer
County.

Overall, the amendments classify 32,123
acres of newly acquired state property and
reclassifies 16,961 acres of Previously ac-
quired state land.

(AP) The state’s Division of Veterans’ Af-

fairs was blasted Monday by a legislatively
created commission as unfocused in its
leadership and often insensitive to the
needs of Vietnam veterans.

The harshly critical comments were con-
tained in a preliminary report from the
Temporary State Commission on Vietnam
Veterans, which is investigating how the
state can better help the estimated 150,000
New Yorkers who saw war service in
Southeast Asia.

The panel said Vietnam veterans in New
York and elsewhere were the victims of ill-
timed federal Veterans Administration
budget cuts in the 1970s and of the slow ac-
ceptance by the American public of Viet-
nam veterans and recognition of their
problems.

Matthew who?

In what was termed another attempt to}

Doddo was baffled as to how the error
occured.

“T don’t know how it happened, but
my parents are teed off. They’re mad

Dinner a success

The annual Student-Faculty dinner
was held in the Patroon Room Thursday
night. The dinner, sponsored by Central
Council in cooperation with the Univeri-
ty Auxiliary Service (UAS), was an infor-
mal gathering between students and
teachers, and offered them a chance to
talk, interact, and share the donated
food.

The 35 couples convened for cocktails
at 6:30 p.m. before the dinner service at’
7:30. Central Council representitive Lisa]
Risolo, co-coordinater of the event,
made a few welcoming remarks before
the actual festivities began.

Central Council representative
Jonathan Waks, the other co-
coordinator, called the event ‘‘an oppor-
tunity to bring students and teachers
together in a light that’s not academic so
that they could learn from each other on
amore personal level.”’

Don’t pressure!
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Students
simply don’t respond well to “‘blatant”’
parental pressure to choose certain
courses, majors or careers, a Stanford
professor warned parents at the univer-'
sity’s Sept.25 orientation.

“The heavy-handed parent,’ said
Prof. Sandford Dornbush of the school’s
Center for the Study of Families,
Children, and Youth, “‘often wins to-
day’s arguments and loses tomorrow’s
decisions.”’

Dornbush recommended that the
parents ‘loosen the bonds (on their
children), praying to God or to chance
that there will be a happy result.’”

He said since the students leaving
home for the first time are “usually
frightened by the loss of parental protec-
tion, there’s great emotion ready to be
unleashed on the parent who appears to
be overly protective or demanding.”

“A mere suggestion by a parent, ”
Dornbush added, ‘‘may be viewed by the
aging child an as intolerable order from a
tyrant.”

ASPie promoted

Seth Kaufman has been named a
managing editor of the Albany Student

been producton manager since the begin-
ning of the semester.

Editor in Chief Bill Jacob named
Kaufman to the position, saying “‘Seth
has proven to be a good leader and is
capable of doing an excellent job in help-
ing to put out a quality paper.”

. Kaufman transferred to SUNYA in the
second semester of his freshman year
from Elizabethtown College. ‘I would
like to do as much for the paper as I can.
I love it and am dedicated to it. It’s the
best thing about SUNY Albany,’’ Kauf-
man said.

Kaufman will work with Managing
Editor Pam Conway and together they
are responsible for overseeing the daily
operation of the ASP, personnel
management and quality control.

Asymbol of perseverance, Minerva stands at the Library’s entrance.

Minerva stationed at library
surrounded by myths, glass

By Colleen Deslaurier
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

An old SUNYA traditon has returned.

After a brief period of repairs, the statue
of Minerva is once again overlooking the
entrance of the library, this time encased in
plexiglass.

On June 7, the renovated Minerva was
unveiled. The refurbishing was part of an
alumni project and the money needed was
collected from the Alumni Assocation.
Previously, Minerva had been cracked
down the side.

The ‘‘symbolic representation of the
university’s quest for knowledge,’’
Minerva’s origin is surrounded with
mystery. No one is really sure of where she
came from.

Paul Vogt, in SUNY-Albany,
1844-1984: A Short History, said that one
alumni remembered seeing Minerva as ear-
ly as 1888. And a former dean of women is

mentioned as believing that Minerva was
paid for by the $1 fee ‘‘students paid for
the privilege of taking make-up exams.”

According to an article that appeared in
the Times Union July 16, 1967, a fire
broke out at SUNYA in 1906 and Minerva
was carried out of the building in the arms
of the janitor who discovered the fire.

Minerva was the only ‘‘non-text artifact
that survived the fire,”’ according to Geoff
Williams, university archivist. Williams
speculated that many documents concern-
ing Minerva’s origins might have been
destroyed in the fire.

The 1915 SUNYA yearbook recalls that
“someone whose name began with ‘s’
donated Minerva to the school,’ accor-
ding to a Times Union article that ap-
peared July 25, 1971.

Originally guardian of Draper Hall since
1909, she was brought to the “‘new cam-

Inaccurate data

used to compile
default rates

(AP) The U.S. Department of Education
used flawed data to calculate student
loan default rates, and may have
| overstated New York’s rate by as much
as 50 percent, a state education official
charged.

But Education Under Secreatry Bruce
Carnes said Friday while the numbers
released Wednesday were not totally ac-
curate, ‘‘The fact is the data gave you a
fairly accurate picture of what is happen-
ing with the [Guaranteed Student Loan]
program.””

Secretary of Education William J.
Bennett threatened on Wednesday to ex-
pel colleges and trade schools from all
federal student aid programs if their loan
default rates exceed 20 percent in 1990.

Bennett released nationwide statistics
which also showed that 222 New York
state schools — including many com-
munity colleges and trade schools — had
default rates above 20 percent for fiscal
1985.

“Not only is it the default rate which I
refute, it is Bennett’s policy on default,””
Dolores Cross, president of the New
York State Higher Education Services
Corp., said Friday. ‘‘I believe his policy
is shortsighted and dangerous in the way
that it misleads the public. He had pro-
mulgated a policy which disregards the
steps that guarantee agencies, schools
and lenders have been taking to control
costs and to ensure accountability in the
student loan program.”

But Carnes said the problem is
“nobody wants to be responsible. In-
stitutions don’t want to be held
responsible.

-“*Bankers who make the loans don’t
want to be held responsible. Guarantee
agencies don’t want to be held
responsible.

‘*It-does not surprise me in the slightest|
that institutions in New York are trying|
to find ways by which they can trash this
policy.”

In a letter to chief executive officers of
New York’s colleges and lending institu-
tions, college financial aid administrators
and key members of Congress, Cross said)
Bennett used flawed data and a flawed
formula for calculating the default rates
cited by the Federal Funds Information
for States Institutional Default Rate!
Study. She also urged the officials to
speak out against the federal govern-
ment’s new approach to defaults.

“The data source for the FFIS study is
so flawed that even the inspector general
of the U.S. Department of Education
recommended that it not be used to
analyze Guaranteed Student Loan Pro-
gram defaults,’’ Cross said.

Problems with the study include miss-
ing records and the listing of schools that
have been closed for years, she said.

Swastika graffiti case unresolved

By Gal Mayer

There are still no leads on the in-
dividuals responsible for painting a
swastika on the Biology Building Nov. 2

According to Jim Williams, director of
Public Safety, the chalk swastika on the
side of the building was reported Monday
at 4 p.m. Photographs were taken, and a
criminal complaint was filed.

The cleaning staff was questioned, but
there were no witnesses to the incident,
Williams said. He added that no one has
reported claiming knowledge of the identi-
ty of the perpetrators.

“Typically, one of the causing factors of
vandalism [at SUNYA] is alcohol abuse,”’
answered Williams when questioned about
why the vandalism may have occurred.

Williams added that the vandals involv-
ed are “‘not necessarily students,’’ but
maintains that they probably were drunk.

According to Williams, most vandalism
this year has not been politically-oriented,
and that this type is reported only once or
twice a year.

As for the future, Williams said that
there’s ‘‘not much anybody can do’’ about
this. He added, ‘‘If anyone is caught, they
would be charged and prosecuted.’’

Junior Mindy Miner, president of the
Jewish Student Coalition, said two other
swastikas were found in Schuyler Hall on
Dutch Hall Oct. 23. The swastikas there
were drawn with crayon and magic
marker.

Miner, who lives in Schuyler, reported
the swastikas to her Residence Assistant,
who contacted the police. The swastikas
were painted over the next day.

Miner said she ‘‘ was really impressed
with how quickly everybody handled the

problem.”

Although this year is the first time Miner
has seen such prominent swastikas, the
JSC office has not been harassed and no
anti-semitic messages have been found
around the office, she said.

Miner theorized that either, ‘‘Somebody
[was] kidding around, not realizing the
history and emotions behind a swastika,’’
or that “‘someone set out specifically to
show their anti-semitism.”

Miner ‘‘couldn’t say which one’’ is true
for this case.

According to Miner, all the swastikas
were reported to the Anti-Defamation
League, which keeps records of all racist
occurrences.

Williams urged anyone with-any infor-
mation regarding any vandalism to contact
the Detectives’ Office at 442-3177. o

Buddhist promotes peace through meditation

By Jackie Silver

Venerable Buddhist Khenpo
Karthar Rinpoche expounded the
relevance of Buddhism in contem-
porary life Monday in a lecture
called ‘‘Compassion Without
Illusion.”

About 50 students attended the
90-minute lecture, which Rin-
poche presented with the
assistance of his interpreter.

All people long for a sense of
well-being and completeness in
their lives, and in modern society,
people typically seek fulfillment
through acquisition of
knowledge, power or wealth and
involve themselves in all types of
self-improvement projects, accor-
ding to Rinpoche.

Buddhism offers an alternate
approach to life viable in contem-
porary society as well as in an-
cient times, Rinpoche said.

He added that Buddhism as a
knowledge is to know about
ourselves, and that as a practice
one is able to undo the limitations
that we put on ourselves.

“Whoever learns and practices
Buddhism can find meaning in it;
it’s not limited to a particular
culture,”’ he said,

Rinpoche stated that whatever
activity an individual wants to
pursue in life should not be solely
to satisfy their curiosity, but to
find out and learn more.

“We experience conflict and

dissatisfaction in life with the
yearning for the opposite —
through reality we can eliminate
this conflict,” Rinpoche said.
“We have the potential to be
conflict-free.””

Rinpoche explained that
everybody has the interest to be
concerned with the well-being of
others, and to become compas-
sionate towards others. ‘We
want certain people in life to be
happy, our friends, relatives,
parents, etc.,”’ he said.

“Sometimes this compassion
towards others is twisted, in a
sense it is contaminated, which
has to do with our selfish cling-
ing,’’ Rinpoche said. This twisted
results from one’s changing image
of the other, whcih results in bit-
terness toward that individual,
Rinpoche said.

According to Rinpoche, only
through cultivation can this bit-
terness change to experience a
conflict-free mind.

“When our mind is filled with
these conflicting conditions, we
are conditioned, our thoughts
become real, which causes us to
burst into all types of emotionali-
ty,”” Rinpoche said. To rid of this
sudden burst of emotionality, one
has to work with the mind, he
added.

Rinpoche also said thoughts of
compassion and the thought of
hatred are self-deliberated and
cannot exist at the same time.

This is basically the major con-
cept that Rinpoche stressed about
Buddhism during his lecture —
according to Rinpoche, the mind
has to be tamed, which is done by
the practice of meditation.

He concluded his lecture by
stating that ‘‘the practice of
meditation is to develop a
wholesome habit of mind and
that habit is through life.’’

The audience asked questions
following the lecture.

Rinpoche was born in eastern
Tibet in 1925, and since the age of
10 has been a Buddhist, according
to junior Steven Mundie, also a
Buddhist.

Mundie said Buddhists strive
for perfection and meditation is a
technique that develops the mind
in a particular way.

Buddhism is Venerable Rin-
poche’s life, Mundie said, and he
embodies the Buddhist virtues of
wisdom and compassion. a

Safety tips provided for off-campus students
Off-Campus Association distributes information to Pine Hills residents

By Lisa Isaacs
STAFF WRITER

An off-campus safety information kit
was distributed Sunday to many Albany
residents and SUNYA students living in
the Pine Hills area.

Distributed by the Off-Campus Associa-
tion (OCA), the kit included a variety of
safety information, including safety tips
for women, ‘‘Neighborhood Watch”’ in-
formation, “Bogus Caller’? information
and a bright-green phone sticker listing
emergency numbers.

Joel Rothman, president of OCA, said
the idea for making such a kit came about
when Tom Gebhardt, director of off-
campus housing, said the green phone
stickers were supposed to be distributed to
off-campus students. Since no complete
list of all SUNYA students living off-
campus exists, Rothman thought of hand
distribution through OCA volunteer
members.

Gebhardt said Rothman approached
him with the idea of additional safety in-
formation being distributed. Since both
groups contributed information to the
safety kit, OCA and the Office of Campus
Housing jointly funded the kits.

Since they were already giving out the
phone stickers, OCA decided to gather

“‘We’re constantly
concerned about
getting information to
off-campus students.””

— Tom Gebhardt

CRAIG HOFFMAN UPS

other information for students. “We see it
as an educational item that any off-
campus students can use,” Rothman said.

The kit is also ‘‘one way we [OCA] try
to promote good feelings betweens off-
campus and on-campus students,’”
Rothman added.

Off-Campus Housing approved of the
idea because ‘“‘we’re constantly concerned

about getting information to off-campus
students,” Gebhardt said.

Rothman said with ‘‘a history of pro-
blems off campus, the kit can be a tool
that students can use to protect
themselves.””

But there was ‘‘no marked incident’’
that established a need for such a kit,
Gebhardt said.

Because Rothman felt the kits were so
useful that Albany residents would benefit
from receiving them, the extended the plan
to distributing the kit to Albany residents
in the Pine Hills area.

The kit, Rothman hopes, is a “‘good step
to improving things in the community.””

Off-campus housing was “‘glad that we
can get information to the people off cam-
pus,’ Gebhardt said.

“I think we will have accomplished a
great deal if they just take that bright green
sticker with all the emergency phone
numbers they need and stick it on the
phone. And we know they will because it’s
important information,” Rothman said.

“If it helps one person being raped, if it
helps one person get to the hospital
quicker, it was worth it,” said Michael
Beloff, secretary of OCA.

“T know these safety kits are an ex-
cellent tool for any Albany resident to
utilize,” said OCA Vice President Philip
Botwinik.

Stephanie Skodnick, OCA treasurer,
said “I think a lot of people are misin-
formed about hiring in a house. This can
help them. It let’s them know what their
mother didn’t tell them.’”

Rothman said he was confident ‘‘stu-
dent responses will be excellent.””

“It certainly is the right of any
American to protest that they 1
believe or think something is con-
trary to the good. As to any
threats to my person, I pay them
no attention,’’ Farrakhan said, |
while ringed by body guards who
had volunteered out of concern
over the publicized threats by the
Jewish Defense Organization.

Simon Saks, vice president of
Hillel, a Jewish student organiza-
tion, said the demonstration was
“a statement against extremism,
racism, and bigotry.’’

But he said it was important it
remain peaceful. ]

“We don’t need violence, and
we must condemn groups like the
Ku Klux Klan, the Jewish Defense
League, and Mr. Farrakhan,”’
Saks said. ‘‘We must work to in-
tegrate, not segregate. We must
remember Martin Luther King |
and follow in his path... We
are going to keep this peaceful
and not let this get out of hand.”

Mordecai Levy, head of the
Jewish Defense Organization that
sent the armed representatives to
the protest, said ‘‘if somebody
hits me, I’m not going to take it,
I’m not going to walk into the
oven like a sheep.””

Levy unsuccessfully urged the
demonstrators to take action to
prevent Farrakhan’s speech.
‘When Levy tried to start a chant
of ‘‘Farrakhan’s a racist,’
students drowned him out by
singing ‘‘God Bless America.”

Sardino, who said police also
saw representatives of the Jewish
Defense League and Hell’s Angels
at the demonstration, said there
were no incidents or arrests. Peo-
ple were searched by hand or
metal detector as they entered the
student center auditorium.

Tom Peterman, a Syracuse
University senior at the
demonstration, said he wouldn’t
be ‘caught dead’’ seeing Far-
rakhan’s speech.

“It’s a combination of things
that bother us,’”” Peterman said.
“But basically, that the university
is in a position where it is pro-
moting racism and bigotry. There
is no place for that kind of thing,
especially on a college campus.”

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Alabama’s public campuses
may not be racially segregated
after all, the 11th U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled Oct. 6:

The 3-judge court overturned
a lower court’s 1985 ruling that
Alabama’s state colleges and
universities maintained
“vestiges of segregation’? in
their faculties, student
enrollments and budgeting.

The reason, the court said,
was that the judge in the case
might have been biased.

The case began in 1981, when
two Alabama State and
Alabama A&M universitites —
both predominantly black cam-

Stevens said there haven’t been
many complaints. ‘‘State Quad
had a number of modifications
prior to initial construction and
there have been modifications
since,’’ Stevens said.

Some [disabled] students are
able to access the building
without the modified doors,”
Volkman said.

“Once, when I lived in Irving, I
had to wait outside for someone
to come by and let me in,”
Volkman said.

night and Volkman said he had to

Arrests to benefit American Cancer Society —

By Jaime Hariton

You’re under arrest!

These words will be heard by
hundreds of people — students,
faculty, and community members
— on Thursday and Friday. As
they are hauled off to jail, a
police officer will read them their
Miranda rights.

The jailbirds will be part of the
second annual SUNYA American
Marketing Association’s Jail-n-
Bail, which raises funds for the
American Cancer Society’s
Albany County unit.

“Prisoners”’ will be taken to
‘jail’ located in the Campus
Center Ballroom where a mock
judge will convict them’ and set
bail according to the crime for
which that person has been accus-
ed, by the persons requesting the
arrest.

From that point they must
make phone calls, from inside
their jail cells, to friends and
family in order to post bail so
they can be freed. Jail sentence is
limited to one hour.

The cost of having a student ar-
rested is $10, while the arrest of a
faculty or community member is
$25.

All profits gathered from bail
money will be used for Cancer
Society research, patient services,
and life-saving educational
services.

“American Marketing Associa-
tion wanted a good way to tie
both the Students and the com-
munity together. There aren’t
that many events that do that.
Jail-n-Bail is one that does,”’ said
Joseph Bybel, president of AMA.

“There are many purposes in

AMA holding Jail-n-Bail.
Primarily, we are doing it because
it’s a worthy cause. Secondly, it
heightens community awareness
of AMA students. And lastly, it
gives AMA a good chance to get
involved with the business world
and interact with them,’’ Bybel
said.

Last year was the first time
SUNYA hosted this event, or
which raises money for the
Cancer Society’s Albany chapter.
According to Bybel, the event was
extremely successful, the total
take being $21,000.

There will be a few changes in
the format of this year’s Jail-n-
Bail. Last year ‘‘bail’? was kept
fairly low, although many
“‘prisoners’’ wanted to stay and
taise more money.

According to Bybel,‘‘This year
those people will get prizes as an
incentive to raise more money for
the American Cancer Society.’’

Bybel continued, ‘‘The prizes
will be given fairly to top fun-
draising faculty and community
members. It’s clear that the com-
munity member will have greater
resources to draw from in order
to raise bail.””

Another change is the addition
of limousines to transport the
prisoners to the Campus Center
Ballroom jail.

“All the arresting officers are
volunteers putting in their own,
off-duty time,’’ said Kathleen
Lein, special events coordinator
for the Cancer Society’s Albany
unit. These officers are from a
variety of places, such as military
and security grounds.

Preparations are also different.

en

-

According to Lein, ‘‘This year we
are able to call last year’s
“Sailbirds” and ask them if they
want revenge. We also know who
we should contact now.’’

A diverse group of Community
businesses have volunteered to
help the event, some of whom
sponsored last years Jail-n-Bail,
as well. However, the list of spon-
sors has more than tripled this
year.

WQBK FM-104 has agreed to
co-sponsor Jail-n-Bail and will be
having on-the-air arrests as well
as regular call-ins by arrestees to
help raise their bail.

John Gilson, disc jockey at
WQBK, will be one of the
“judges” who will have to set bail
for the accused. Other judges will
include Tom Malley, WQBK talk
host; Brian Burnell, channel 6 an-
chor; Benita Zahn, channel 13 an-
chor; and Matt Doddo, Student
Association President.

Food will be provided by Ken-
tucky Fried Chicken, JR’s Brick
Oven Pizza, and Brueggar’s Bagel
Bakery, to name a few. University
Auxiliary Services will also be
donating coffee for the
participants.

In his opening monologue he invited
anyone who wished to snap some
photographs; he assured the people in the
balcony that he’d come up there so they
could get some close shots “because who
wants to go home, look at some fuzzy pic-
tures and say, ‘Hey, I remember seeing that
guy — Nipsy Russell, right?’ ”

The show was divided into four behind-
the-scenes glimpses of the key moments in
Vereen’s life. The first was an early audi-
tion after his graduation from the High
School of Performing Arts. Benjamin
Augustus Vereen sang this high energ;
medley to a large stage mirror, explaining
how he wanted to become one with the
person he saw in the relection. The medley
included songs from Vereen's greatest
Broadway triumphs — “Corner of the Sky”
(Pippin), “Aquarius,” “Hair,” and “Jesus
Christ Superstar.” The first half of Act I
allowed Vereen to prove to the crowd that
he's a very multi-faceted performer; he
acts, sings and dances up a storm.

Although Vereen’s next two scenes —
the party and his musical heroes — didn’t
quite equal his opening and_ closing
numbers, they were still extremely en.
joyable. He included songs that were
popular long before the majority of
Albany State students were born, in-
cluding “Master Blaster,” “Beyond the
Sea,” and “Greatest Performance.” After
completing some elaborate moves on
stage, he performed several songs running
up and down the aisles, going up to the
balcony to sing (he did promise), and walk-
ing through the audience on the arms of
their chairs.

Vereen’s final segment was a tribute to
the “boys who fought for us in Vietnam.”

Manu Katche, Mino Cinelu, Sting, Kenny Kirkland, and Branford Marsalis

Nothing Like the Sun unlike all else

ot on the heels of 1986's The
H Dream of the Blue Turtles, the

multi-talented ex-frontman of The
Police has recently released a new collec-
tion of 12 original works which exemplify
his wide range of musical interests. Draw-
ing from a group of exceptionally profi-
cient instrumentalists, he has concocted
over an hour and fifteen minutes of pure
audio enjoyment that even the non-Police
fan will surely appreciate. The songs of
Sting’s Nothing Like The Sun range from
mellow ballads to upbeat funk and depict
his ability to “be at home” in virtually any
facet of modern music

Gary J. Palmer

For this new double record set, Sting has
employed several members of The Blue
Turtles, the band with which he recorded
The Dream of the Blue Turtles and the live
double album, Bring on the Night:
reknowned jazz keyboardist Kenny
Kirkland, prodigal saxophonist Branford
Marsalis, and backup vocalists Janice Pen-
darvis and Dolette MacDonald all returr
for the new album. The band’s new addi
tions include drummer Manu Kache ana
ex-Weather Report percussionist. Mino

Cinelu, who create an extremely powerful

rhythm section with Sting, who returns to
‘his alma mater instruments of acoustic and
electric bass.

The album opens with a fast-paced tune
entitled “The Lazarus Heart,” which Sting’s
liner notes explain to be the musical
representation of a nightmare he once had,
The second song, “Be Still My Beating
Heart,” is a slower piece with a strong
backbeat. Former Police bandmate Andy
Summers contributes his stylistic,
electronically-treated guitar sounds to
these two tracks, possibly indicating that
the tensions between the two musicians
may not be as high as they've been
rumored to be. The first vinyl side con-
cludes with “Englishman in New York,” a
particularly interesting track which
manages to combine Sting’s infatuation
with the reggae beat with a pure jazz break
in the middle of the song. Being that Sting’s
entry into the music world began when he
played acoustic bass in a jazz group in
Newcastle, England, it’s no surprise that he
can compose jazz, as previously proven on
the title track of The Dream of the Blue
Turtles.

Sting’s mastery of music writing con-
tinues with “History Will Teach Us

This was his most inspiring medley and it
earned him a standing ovation. Vereen’s
clear melodic voice belted out “The Battle
Hymn of the Republic” a capella, which
easily flowed into Billy Joel's “Goodnight
Saigon.” His final song, “I Want To Know
What Love Is,” echoed throughout Pro-
ctor's Theatre until Vereen took his final
bows and the houselights came on.

This is not the first time that Ben Vereen
has wowed Schenectady. He captured rave
reviews for his leading role in the touring
production of Pippin. Vereen has a huge

number of accomplishments and awards
under his belt; he is a Tony, Emmy, and
Drama Desk award winner for such shows
as Hair, Sweet Charity, Pippin, and Ben
Vereen — His Roots. His big screen credits
include Bob Fosse’s All that Jazz and a just-
completed comedy, Buy and Cell.

Ben Vereen is an extremely busy,
talented man who puts his all into his
music, whether it is a tender ballad or an
up-tempo pop song. His In Flight delivered
an impressive display of talent and energy.
Oo

Nothing,” his’ somewhat depressing
hypothesis that study of the past is useless
because history is always doomed to repeat
itself. The next song, “They Dance Alone,”
was a product of his recent involvement
with the Amnesty International organiza-
tion. Accomplished guitarists Eric Clapton
and Dire Strait's Mark Knopfler lend their
skills to this haunting ballad that reveals
the helpless existence of the world’s
political prisoners. Marsalis’ saxophone
plays a bittersweet lead near the end of the
song that tugs at the listener's heartstrings
and conveys the true emotional nature of
the piece.

Ata recent press conference, Sting was
quoted as saying that he prefers not to
have his solo music labeled as “jazz,”
“rock,” or “fusion,” as music critics are
wont to do. By not labeling his music,
perhaps the barriers would be broken bet.
ween people who confine themselves to a
particular type of listening environment
While he would obviously not appreciate
such labeling, it can be said that many of
the tracks on Nothing Like The Sun fall
more into the “rock” category or the “jazz”
category. Perhaps the most rock-oriented
song on the album is identified by its title
of “Rock Steady.” This track is a basic,
straight-forward blues tune which com.
plements the album’s diversity.

Because the album is so jazz-oriented, it
hasn't been receiving intense national
airplay, as was the case with Dream of The
Blue Turtles. But the one song that has
received much exposure is “We'll Be

Together.” While rather weak lyrically,
due to its funk-like character, along with
national airplay and Sting’s live perfor-
mance of the song recently on NBC's
Saturday Night Live, the tune has probably
been the driving force behind most of the
album's sales in the past weeks. Sting has a
magical ability-to write catchy, popular
music, as can be attested to by his
songwriting for The Police, but has ap-
parently opted to minimize the album's
content of dance tunes in favor of personal
material.

Worthy of exceptional merit is the se-
cond to last track on the album, “Little
Wing.” A remake of a Jimi Hendrix song
which was popularized by Derek and The
Dominoes (a.k.a. Eric Clapton and friends),
“Little Wing” is an extremely powerful
tune that has been “fusionized” by Sting.
On this track, most of the band’s core musi-
cians take a breather and are replaced by
Kenwood Denard on drums, Hiram
Bullock (ex-Late Night with David Letter-
man band) on guitar, and Mark Egan (ex-
Pat Methany) on bass. Sting explains in his
liner notes that he was awed by Hendrix
after seeing one of his live performances in
England. Sting’s “Little Wing” is changed
substantially from the original, but still
possesses a formidable quantity of musical
energy and stands as one of the best songs
on the album

Hence, fans of The Police need not be
upset at Sting’s departure from the band, as
his new-found freedom has allowed him to
explore other musical mediums. Nothing
Like The Sun is a truly innovative collec-
tion of his work in recent months, and a
refreshing change from his strictly-rock for-
mat of the past. It would be a mistake to
pass by something this impressive. oO

Funk, punk, and Chili Peppers at QE2

opening act for the Red Hot Chili

remarkable might occur. The bass player,

wandered in via time warp from the
Fillmore West circa 1968. The drummer,
scowling fiercely, began smashing his kit,
dreadlocks flying, with a furious energy
that continued unabated throughout the
band’s set. The singer resembled a South
Seas shaman under high voltage stimula-

tion; the keyboardist looked like a Marine
sharpshooter; the guitarist could pass for
Phineas of the The Fabulous Furry Freak
Brothers. Oops — sorry, kids — let's say, a
frizzy haired “hippie.”

Faith No More is Chuck Moseley,
vocals; Roddy Bottum; keyboards; Bill
Gould, bass; Mike Bordin, drums; and Jim
Martin, guitar. Their sound is coherent,
complex, psychadelic, and strewn. with
punk brashness, humor, and intelligence.
Moseley lyrics grabbed my attention’on
the first hearing of Introduce Yourself, the.
band’s current release on Slash Records.
This album features “We Care A Lot,” a
cynic’s catalog of recent disasters, diseases,
warmongers, and so on, with their mock-

ing tone implying that the repeated chorus
of “We Care A Lot” means just the
opposite.

At QE2, Moseley wore a Madonna-as-
Monroe T-shirt that was soon so sweat-
sodden that it was discarded. His mobile
features and wild hairstyle (Zippy The
Pinhead goes Rastafarian), combined with
fluid and dynamic gestures, focused visual
attention on him, while the vital effect of
his lyrics was somewhat obscured by the
band’s sonic assault. Mike Bordin’s study of
African rhythms infused his drumming
with a creative edge that his relentless
power emphasized beyond any chance of
disregarding. Jim Martin's array of pedals

‘ost people on this campus might not exactly be thrilled at the prospect of reviewing
Mer new book, Virginia Woolf for Beginners, by Albany State professor Aaron

Rosenblatt, with illustrations by his daughter Naomi. Much of this trepidation
would come from the fear of one day having to take a course with Professor Rosenblatt,
and should they not have liked the book, that he would then take his revenge by destroy-
ing their already fragile grade point average. One need not worry however, as this in-
troductory book on the life of Virginia Woolf is both readable and, at points, quite

This book is one of a series of beginner books which tackles difficult concepts and people}
and minimizes them down to their very basest forms. It is comparable to the comic book:
version of the Bible. Woolf's life is presented to the reader in a very likeable fashion.

Each of the pages contains some written text with the majority of the space devoted to]
intricate drawings. Naomi Rosenblatt’s works are both excellent and, at the same time,
related to the words of the text. In some sections of the book the text can be a tad confus-
ing, and it was in these parts that Ms. Rosenblatt’s drawings appear to fall short of what

the professor's since he began teaching

When asked about what got him involv-
ed in the Beginner Books series, he
responded, “Let Naomi answer that.”
Naomi Rosenblatt had_ illustrated one

this joint venture with her father. Her first
was the popular Zen for Beginners.

“Y've always wanted to be an artist since I
was three years old... . | illustrated books
and drew all the time,” she said.

Naomi had gotten involved in the Begin-
ner series when she had run into an old
school friend who worked for the Writers
and Readers Publishing Company Incor-
porated. The friend had remembered that
Naomi was an artist and informed her that
the company needed people who could do
illustrations. Naomi followed up on the in-
formation and is now the art director for
the company. Her next book, which she
designed but did not illustrate, will be

by her stepbrother, been orphaned when her father died, and lost her older brother to
whom she was especially close, all by the time she had reached the age of 24. It is a small
wonder then, that she suffered from mental illness throughout her life.

In 1912, she married Leonard Woolf, a man whom she did not truly love. However, he
became more to her than a husband; he became her caretaker. Eventually, he was
regulating all aspects of her life. He also made the decision that they should have no
children, due to the weakened state of Virginia's mental health. This turned out to be a
good decision, as Mrs. Woolf tried to commit suicide a number of times, until she finally

Virginia Woolf's life. Still, the reader is able to gain some inside information on Virginia

was through Naomi that Professor
Rosenblatt got involved with writing for
the Beginner series.

One may wonder exactly what type of
audience these books are aimed at. Naomi
explained, “These books are for the lay
person, about complicated themes. . . for
college students, high school students,
housewives, people taking airplane rides,
etc.” She also added emphatically,
“These books are not Cliff Notes.” They
are, instead, ground-work books, which
contain cartoons and other light-hearted
material.

Perhaps the most perplexing question
which arose during the course of the inter-
view was, ‘Why Virginia Woolf? Professor
Rosenblatt thought for a moment, then
answered, “Well, | was interested in her.
She is a preeminent novelist critic of the
twentieth century, and she is a brilliant
writer, essayist, and feminist. Her writing
was very special. She didn’t emphasize
plots as much as sensibility . . . she describ-
ed little things that will stay in your
memory for the rest of your life.”

Naomi felt that Woolf, if she were alive,
would not be “pleased with this book.”

Virginia Woolf, in general, frowned
upon established institutions. “When they
wanted to make her a Dame (Woolf was
British), she refused,” Professor Rosenblatt
said, He added that she “didn’t believe in
honors and academia and all the regalia of
established institutions.”

Does he, too, feel this way? “Well, I'm
sympathetic to the point of view,” he
responded,

While working together so closely,
Naomi found herself pleasantly surprised
at her father’s attitude toward the work.
“He gave me a lot of freedom. I would do
everything in the privacy of my own
home. | didn’t think he was going to give
me as much leeway as he did, but he was.
really very helpful.”

The Rosenblatts are contracted to do
George Bernard Shaw for Beginners next.
Most can only hope that their relationships
with their parents can be as blissful, and as
profitable, as the Rosenblatts’.

bres, while bass and keyboard anchored
the sound.

Sarcasm, cynicism, and gallows humor;
all are appropriate to the present era, and
Faith No More expresses them at high
volume, with deliberately loose but always
interesting, grooves.

Every new style can trace its evolution
to roots, either by derivation or by reac-
tion, and Faith No More is no exception. In
their mocking reading of the Nestle’s com-
mercial, Moseley inserted the end lyric of
“Stairway To Heaven”; when asked, he
said he did so “because it’s the same chord
progression!” In another song, Moseley in-
serted the first verse of The Beatles’
“Norwegian Wood,” and the first encore,
“Anne's Song,” ended with the bolero sec-
tion of Styx’s “Lady.” The final song
covered Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” Listen
to Introduce Yourself — you may agree
that Faith No More shows that there is at
least some hope left.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are
something else. Their look is mixed: three
punks fronted by an androgenous-looking
long-haired violinist. The first words
onstage set the mood in classic punk terms:
“Fuck Albany” — “Fuck New York” —
“Buck You!” The music rivaled Faith No
More's in terms of volume, but the style is
much more black-influenced, medium-to-
high-speed funk-rock, with a rap vocal that
makes Run D.M.C. look like doggerel-
spouting blowhards.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers consists of
Anthony Kiedes, vocals; Hillel Slovak,
guitar; Flea on bass; and Jack Irons, drums.
Their style combines James Brown, Led

Zeppelin, and Frank Zappa in a
remarkable, undeniably danceable
synthesis.

The Red Chili Peppers acknowledge
their debt to previous artists unabashedly.
Ar obvious example is their cover ot Bob
Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues,”
transforming the ‘rockabilly original to a
somehow threatening funk assault, with
the shouted warning “Look out kid!” given
new life from Dylan's offhand delivery. In
“Behind The Sun,” as close to a ballad as
this band gets, Kiedes quotes the “Yeah
Yeah” vocal line from Sly and The Family
Stone's “Sing A Simple Song.”

The band’s new album, The Uplift Mofo
Party Plan, carries a warning to parents
about explicit lyrics, and the “Special
Secret Song” on the album is one reason
why; it’s called “Party On Your Pussy.”
Street language abounds in the lyrics, and
in the dialogue onstage. Flea, one of the
most phenomenal. bassists in my ex-
perience, had nothing good to say to the
audience; “I hate you,” was one of his
milder’ statements.

The crowd at QE2 responded to the Red
Hot Chili Peppers in what one might con-
sider a strange fashion, pogoing, slamming,
and leaping off the stage into the crowd, as
though it was 1976 and the Sex Pistols
were onstage. Don’t they know what year
it is? Is it punk, when it sounds like funk?
Who is confused, the slammers, or
everyone else? Others were dancing, and
grinning in surprised elation, but wouldn't
be caught jumping offstage, no matter
who's there to break the fall. Yuppies
would probably step aside, gazing calmly
as bodies splattered on the floor.

Both groups that played on Election Day
confirmed the growing impression that
QE2 is the place in our area: we can share
the cutting edge of our culture up: close,
loud, sweaty, and entirely real. Thank Q,

EDITOR, ooo

The time is now

Looking for something to do on a ho-hum
Wednesday night? Why not take an hour out and
delve into an unreal world where powerful people
with access to large sums of money idle the days
away in hollow personal dramas?

No, it’s not another repeat of Dynasty. This is
your Central Council — the legislative branch of
your Student Association — that has a great say
in how your student activity fee is spent and a
large influence on the quality of life at your
school. And if last Wednesday you had shut off
the TV and headed over to CC 375 at 10 p.m. you
would have tuned into a pretty sad episode in the
history of Central Council.

At its Wednesday meeting, Council was
involved in a semi-heated debate on whether Sara
Meyer should be removed from her position as
Council chair. Most of Meyer’s critics charged she
plays favorites within Council, cares little about
the organization as a whole, and is next to
impossible to work with. Many felt the situation
had gotten so bad that it demanded drastic
change. So after three hours, Meyer called it
quits.

OK, fine. What now? Well, what we’ve got
here is a legislative body of 30-or-so students,
most of whom are new to government, that is
almost completely self-absorbed and sees Council
meetings as three-hour gripe sessions. The
majority of Council members at Wednesday’s
meeting only tuned into the debate when it was
their turn to speak. And when they did speak
what came out was pompous, long-winded and
generally pointless. Many members thought
nothing of hanging out in the hallway ‘vhile others
were speaking. And the Council’s enforcement of
parliamentary procedure — which has people
tossing around such inane phrases as “‘point of
personal privelege’’ — has placed even further
restraints on effectiveness. This behavior, now
commonplace, indicates that Meyer is by no
means the sole cause of Council’s problems and
her removal is no guarantee that the situation will
improve.

To save itself and its reputation and — most
importantly — put itself back in a position where
it can serve students, Council’s got to get back to
basics. And the basics of any effective
government is productivity. Over the past few
years, Council has closed upon itself drastically.
The time is long overdue for its members to start
getting things done. In Council lingo, this means
sending work back to committees. The six
committees of Council are the backbone of the
group, each addressing a certain aspect of student
life — athletics, academics, activism, etc. A
strong chair must get members to realize that
being on Council means doing work — a lot of
work. And work is best done through committees
where it can be estimated, delegated and executed.

Central Council has always been something of a
soap opera, but above its personal dramas and
intrigues arose real accomplishments. But if this
year’s members decide they don’t want to work
for the students they represent, then they will
surely leave behind them a dynasty that is weak
and divided.

e

Here at the ASP, we get all sorts of people
walking into our offices asking for things —
everything from news coverage to ad rates. We
thought we had seen it all. But last night an
attractive young couple who strolled into the
Campus Center asked us for a favor we’d never
heard before: ‘Do you have any place up here for
us to study?”

Apparently the two had a political science
paper due in the immediate future and there was
just no place on the podium for them to go.
Somewhat surprised, but also all-too-familiar
with academic pressures, we put them up in our
Business Office for a few hours. In payment, they
obliged the staff with a run to Dunkin’ Donuts.

To them, we say thanks for the coffee and good
luck on your paper. To the University, we say
please continue to look into restoring after-hours
podium study areas — we just don’t have the
room to accommodate the pre-finals study
crunch.

A breach of contract

From the streets of Athens to the pages of American
newspapers, citizens of various societies have debated the
merits of capital punishment, some defending it as the on-
ly just retribution for truly heinous crimes and some
claiming it unjustifiable because it deprives human beings
of the right to life.

Pam Conway

In modern America, capital punishment may seem to
some as the only answer to continuous reports of rises in
violent crime and the increasing bloodiness of the
statistics poured into the average home on a nightly basis.
However, judged in the context of the principles this
country was founded on and the ideals its citizens still
hold important, capital punishment can only be seen as a
misguided attempt to stem the crime rate.

At root of all society is the knowledge that in order for
people to live together in a community, certain human
drives must be put in check. People need to protect their
possessions — their property, money and their lives. In
order to do this, they each mutually agree to give up their
right to steal and kill, and put these agreements into laws
to be carried out by an government elected for that
purpose.

Since the state is enacted to protect the mutual
agreements of its citizens, its first function is to protect
the interests of the society that built it — to enact laws in
accord with that society’s mores and to punish those who
disobey the laws. Such criminals are deemed deserving of
punishment because they actually negate their end of the
social contract, the same contract under which they enjoy
certain rights. These rights are forfeited when one breaks
the social contract — that is the heart of America’s legal
system — and the state has the right to punish. More im-
portantly, however, the state’s highest aim is to make life
within its society as safe, comfortable and enjoyable as
possible for its residents. And to do this, the state should
not only punish criminals, but try to prevent crime from
happening in the first place.

Now consider a society in which its citizens believe it is
a sin against God to administer medicine to the sick or
perform operations on the dying and its state had set up
many laws to reflect this value. If a modern-day doctor
were to somehow be placed in such a society, the doctor
would in fact be judged as dangerous to that society’s
beliefs — even though the doctor never actually violated a
social contract because he never agreed to it in the first
place — and could be removed from that society. But it is
hardly correct to say that the doctor must now be killed.
Therefore, crime is relevent to the morals of a particular
society and not a just cause for putting a person to
death. However, many states throughout history, and
even some states in America today, believe capital punish-
ment is a necessary component of their legal system. Why
is this? Some argue that its very existence deters would-be
criminals from committing violent crimes. But it is equal-
ly arguable that it is not so much the death penalty that
deters — since the chances of a criminal receiving that
sentence are quite slim — but instead it is the promise of

swift punishment that has a noticeable effect on the crime
rate. Some say that truly unreformable criminals deserve
to be permanently kept away from law-abiding citizens.
But life imprisonments would accomplish the same goal.
And some say that if a person takes another’s life, then
they deserve to have their own life taken away. On an
emotional level, this may be the only justification that
holds up to scrutiny.

When person A murders person B, A violates the im-
plicit contract between them in which they have both
given up their right to kill in order to protect their own
lives. But when A reclaims his right to kill, B is justified in
reclaiming his own right to kill — that is why our country
permits murder in self-defense. However, once B is dead,
he obviously cannot come back to reclaim his right to kill.
But that right cannot now be transferred to the state,
because if the state kills A, it is not like nullification of
the original crime, as if A had stolen $100 from B and the
state ordered A to repay it; it is just the state exhibiting a
very dangerous power, and one which has been proven
impossible to delegate with fairness.

However, although the state does not intrinsically have
the right to enact capital punishment, it is possible for the
people of a state to delegate to its government their right
to kill and allow that state to perform capital punishment.
But .by doing so, those people have prevented the
possibility of reforming the criminal into a productive
member of society and have gone beyond just protecting
itself from that criminal — they have allowed the state to
carry out revenge for a particularly reprehensible crime.
But in the end, isn’t that moving away from the ideals
that mankind strives for? And wouldn’t one would have
to question the morality of a person who really felt
justified at seeing another put to death. One would also
have to question the logic of a society that would endow
its government with a power it felt was too dangerous to
give its citizens.

Therefore, it becomes apparent that in a social-
contract society, in which the government is set up to pro-
tect the lives and well-being of its citizens, that govern-
ment’s highest goal should be to set up a penal system in
which criminals could have a real shot at reforming to
society while being kept away from that society. Just
because the American prison system does not provide
much by way of reform now, that does not mean the task
is impossible, especially as the fields of psychology and
sociology continue to provide new insights into human
behavior and motivations. Citizens should take advan-
tage of these advances so that criminals have a chance to
re-sign their part of the contract and possibly become a
functioning citizen. The state should also strive for a
more even-handed and efficient court system, so that jail
alone would act as a deterrent and people would not have
to look to captial punishment for a sense of justice. If this
were done, the people of a state could also make reform
their highest goal and set civilization on a more civililed
path.

Third world truth

To The Editor:

While visiting the Albany State campus for Homecom-
ing Weekend I had occasion to read an article entitiled
“Journalist Dispels Idea of Sexism In Islam’’ in the Oc-
tober 23 edition of the ASP, and feel compelled to res-
pond with a comment on the terribly discriminatory treat-
ment women receive under the law in Iran and other
Islamic theocracies.

Tranian women are denied many of the most basic
human rights, and it is quite clear that Fundamentalist
Islamic law perpetuates the subjugation of women to
men.

In Iran today women may not vote, may not hold
public office, may not buy and sell property independent-
ly of their husbands or fathers, and are severly restricted
in the manner in which they may dress or appear in
public. Women may not serve as witnesses, may not enter
the ministry (which wields great power in Iran); indeed,
are deprived of any semblance of equal opportunity in
education and employment. Women may not even hold a
driver’s license and, consequently, are not permitted to
drive.

From birth, a women is treated merely as chattel of her
father until she is in effect ‘‘sold’’ into marriage, thereby
becoming chattel of her husband.

The contention of Mr. Engineer, the so-called
“investigative journalist’ reported in your article, that a
marriage is an equal partnership under Islamic law,
because a bride-to-be may ‘‘stipulate’’ the conditions she
wants in the marriage contract, is simply apologetic
sophistry.

It may be true in theory, that if a bride has the
knowledge, strength and foresight to demand a list of
basic rights — e.g., the right to own property free and
clear of her husband, or the right that the husband not
take another wife — and this list is incorporated in the
marriage contract, she may amend to a limited degree the
uaual terms of complete domination and control by the
husband. Nevertheless, in practice this option is of little
impact and effect.

Any “‘right”’ the young bride fails to enumerate and de-
mand from her “partner”? prior to marriage is per-
manently forfeited by the wife. Typically marriages are
arranged by fathers for their daughters, who are often no
more than children of 12 to 14 years of age. These girls, in
most cases uneducated, with liitle knowledge or
understanding of the law, are then deemed to ahve
forfeited for life all independence from their husband,
master and ‘‘protector’’.

In contemporary Iran, these laws of repression are en-
forced and perpetuated with brutality and violence.
Following Khomeni’s assumption to power, thousands of
women have been summarily executed or imprisoned for
seeking basic rights of liberty and equality.

The article you published displayed inferior editorial
and journalistic practice, and a disturbing indifference to
the plight and suffering of women in Iran and other
Islamic states. I dare suggest that when I was an
undergraduate at Albany State such a newspaper report,
if published, would have met with strong criticism.

LC-23

To The Editor:

I would like to correct and clarify some erroneous and
misinformed comments attributed to Chris Blomquist in
your October 27 article on the new pre-registration
system. This student was quoted as saying that the
English pre-early-registration was a ‘‘big mess’’ and that
no one in charge knew what was going on. On the con-
trary, the Advisor, Director and other administrative
staff have attended all the informational meetings regar-
ding the computerized system and know everything that
the Registrar was able to tell us.

The new system offers better monitoring of class
enrollments and a more accurate placement of students in
courses appropriate to them. Indeed, there were lines of
students waiting for advisement, as there always have
been in the past. However, there was a more extended ad-
visement period, and when students left advisement they
were assured places in courses needed to complete their
major. In advisement students also received all
documents pertinent to registration and an explanation,
inasmuch as we had been informed, of the goings-on in
LC-23.

The English department continues to try innovative
ways of better serving our many majors, with very limited
resources and a firm commitment to ensuring quality
education by keeping class sizes down. Students might ex-
pedite the process by researching their own issues and be-
ing prepared before coming to advisement: we are ready
to offer advice and guidance, but students remain the
ultimate agents responsible for their programs of study.

In future, reporters should try to offer a balanced
perspective, or at least make sure that those they inter-
view are-able to give an informed opinion, so that readers
do not come away with a skewed version of the truth.

A nuclear education

To The Editor:

Margaret Meade wrote, “Never doubt that a small
group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the
world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.”” Most
people feel that there is very little they can do to prevent

~ the escalating nuclear arms race between the United

States and the Soviet Union. The first and most impor-
tant step that a concerned citizen can take is to become
well informed. In light of the current United States/
Soviet Union negotiations regarding a treaty banning
medium- and short-range nuclear missiles, it is critical
that students come together on our campus and take a
stand for nuclear disarmament.

This week our campus will be participating in a Week
of Education on the Nuclear Arms Race: OUR
FUTURE/ OUR CHOICE, a nationwide event co-
sponsored by the Union of Concerned Scientists and
United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War. On campus, it
is being sponsored by Peace Project, SA, NYPIRG, the
Roman Catholic Community Council and Speaker’s
Forum. The goal of this weeklong event is to educate our
campus and the surrounding communities on the various
aspects of the nuclear arms race, including Strategic
Defense Initiative, Nuclear Winter, The Capital District’s
involvement in the arms race, and what lies ahead for the
future.The week will conclude with a rally for nuclear
disarmament and a coffeehouse.

How can you change the future? You can:

1. Vote; 4

2. Write letters to your representatives;

3. Become an active member of a local or national
group;

4. Visit the literature tables and art displays in the Lec-
ture Center Lobby this week;

5. Attend this week’s events and lectures.

For further information on these events you can refer
to the calendar section of the ASP, or call the SA activity
hotline at 442-5641.

Learn, educate, organize and protest. It is our future,
our choice.

It’s the better way

To The Editor:

Upon reading last Tuesday’s article on ‘‘Cleaning Up
the Co-ops”’ I found it imperative to respond. While I ap-
preciate the article and the acknowledgement of one of
the projects that I have initiated, I wish to make a few
things clear.

First, the record co-op is not ‘‘in danger of being shut
down’’. Admittedly there was a problem, but my sole in-
tent was to rectify the situation. I have worked extensively
with Bobby Gibson to maintain SUNY tunes as a tradition
here on campus and would not like to see all our efforts
go to waste. However, one must understand my pesition
on last year’s $15,000 loss. Changes had to have been
made and I am optimistic that these changes will work.
Only as a last resort would I even consider closing it
down.

Second, neither was it my intent to accuse anyone false-
ly of record theft. While it cannot be denied that part of
last year’s $15,000 loss is attributable to last year’s staff,
many of my implementations, such as the positioning of
personnel on the floor and acquisition of a bookrack are
aimed at controlling shoplifting. Furthermore, none of
last year’s loss can be blamed on this year’s management.
They are all new people who I have a great deal of trust in
and have given me total cooperation.

Lastly, I must apologize for the pessimistic tone of the
article. While I am not a hard-ass and only encourage
creative spending, I must do what is required of my posi-
tion. I cannot sustain a loss like last year’s. However, I
am confident that my improvements will perpetuate the
existence of SUNYtunes.

Jail-n-Bail

To The Editor:

Did you ever want to play a great joke on that room-
mate who sleeps more than you thought humanly possi-
ble? Or get even with your best friend who got your ID
taken away at that bar downtown? Well, the American
Marketing Association is again giving you the opportuni-
ty to have your friends, enemies, and loved ones arrested
and help in the fight against cancer, in our Second, An-
nual Jail-n Bail fundraiser. This. fun and entertaining
event wil be held on Nov. 12 and 13 in the Campus Center
Ballroom from 9a.m. to 6p.m. All proceeds from the
event go to The American Cancer Society, Albany Coun-
ty Unit.

This is how the Jail-n-Bail works. For a tax deductible
donation fee, ($10 for students, $25 for professors), the
requested person will be arrested for any variety of
humorous charges. The jailee is then transported to a jail
at the Ballroom and bail is set by a celebrity judge. The
jailee will then have the opportunity to call friends and
family to raise bail and secure release. Most sentences last
about an hour. Food, jail uniforms, and a mug shot are
all provided. There will also be prizes for the top
fundraisers.

SA President Matt Doddo and the School of Business’
John Levato are among those scheduled to be arrested, as
well as members of the WQBK air staff, who will be ar-
rested on the air and doing call-ins from the site. The
event is designed to be funny, entertaining and exciting —
a good time for a life-saving cause— the fight against
cancer. All funds raised from Jail-n-Bail will support pro-
grams of cancer research, education, and patient service
and rehabilitation.

The AMA will be accepting aresst requests on 11/9- 11/
12 in the CC Lobby. If you cannot serve time any form of
prticipation is appreciated. Students are encouraged to be
there next Thursday and Friday, but hopefully not with a
life sentence!

Just say no!
fo The Editor:

Congratulations to the students of SUNYA for stan-
ding up and saying ‘‘NO”’ to CIA recruitment on
campus.

That students joined together against this ‘employer’
who promotes death, destruction, deception and the
undermining of democratic governments and movements
around the world was a breath of fresh air for this
SUNYA alumnus. I hope this breath of fresh air will turn
into a wind of change that permanently excludes the CIA.
from having any form of presence on the SUNYA
campus

Keep up the good work!

Loan defaults

“Furthermore, the formula for
calculating the rates is bound to
lead to inflated figures because
borrowers who have made full
repayment were not included in
the calculation. That fact alone
may overstate New York’s default
Tate by 50 percent.””

But Carnes said the inspector
general calculated a 3 percent er-
ror in the data.

New York’s default rate was
found to be 13.7 percent, slightly
above the national average, but
not as high as some other states,
such as California, at 18.4
percent.

Bennett said his aim was to shut
down ‘‘fly-by-night institutions’’
that rely on the federal money
loaned to poor students to stay in
business.

“Once they get the money, they
don’t care whether the student is
clear on his obligation or not,”
Bennett said at a news conference
Wednesday to announce the new
policy.

But Cross said the result would
be to encourage schools to deny
entrance to students they identify
as financial risks.

“Yet we know that many so-
called high risk students have
achieved and contributed greatly
to our nation’s success,”’ she said.

pus”’ in 1967 where she was plac-
ed in the Campus Center lobby.

The subject of pranks
throughout her ‘‘life’? at
SUNYA, Minerva has worn frosh
beanies, bandanas, and all
varieties of clothing characteriz-
ing the times.

Prior to 1920, when she was
weighted down, Minerva was
once ‘found indiscreetly posed in
the upstairs men’s room” in the
library (according to the July 16,
1967 article), and also treated as
the SUNYA mascot, to be stolen
the night before a football game,
by the Rensselaer Polytechnic In-
stitute men.

As a gift to the University, the
Senior class of 1967 restored her
and became ‘‘Alunmi Guardians
of Minerva.” In a resolution
passed by the Alumni Association
Board of Directors, in September
1969, a new marble base was pur-
chased and the cost of repairs was
underwritten by the class.

Because of a sorority prank in
1975, Minerva received a large
crack trhough the abdomen and
suffered extensive damage to her
amrs and head. The Class of 1967
again restored her in 1971.

Minerva, the goddess of the
thunderbolt, is patroness of com-
merce, industry, and schools.
Made of hollow plaster and carry-
ing a wooden spear, Minerva is
also the patroness of warriors vic-
torious through cunning,
prudence, courage and of course
perseverance. Oo

Book criticizing pop culture draws heavy fire

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — It’s only rock
’n’ roll, says best-selling author Allan
Bloom, and he doesn’t like it.

In fact, the University of Chicago pro-
fessor blames rock — and other forms of
pop culture — for closing the American
mind.

Other educators, however, say Bloom’s
argument smacks of elitism, sexism, and
racism. “His shot at rock ’n’ roll is
Iudicrous,”’ said University of Oklahoma
English professor David Gross. ‘‘It’s his
mind that’s closed.”*

Bloom’s The Closing of the American
Mind, a nationwide bestseller for more
than 20 weeks, has sparked considerable
debate about the role of higher education
in American society. Bloom’s book argues
that higher education is failing because
curricula no longer emphasize classical
Western culture studies.

Popular culture, Bloom writes, has
made Americans intellectually lazy and
inept.

Bloom describes a typical rock fan as a
“pubescent child whose body throbs with
orgasmic rhythms; whose feelings are
made inarticulate in hymns [about] the
joys of onanism or the killing of one’s
parents; whose ambition is to win fame
and wealth in imitating the drag queen
who makes the music.””

The sentiment doesn’t sit well in some
places.

A sign in Bowling Green State Univer-
sity’s popular culture department’s office
predicts ‘‘Allan Bloom will burn in hell.””

Bloom would have “‘a small elite group
of people define what is of value and ram
it dowm other people’s throats,”’ said
Bowling Green’s pop culture professor
Jack Nachbar.

Pop culture studies are offered at Bowl-
ing Green, said Nachvar, to help students
understand their environment better. “We
provide a means for students, a way to

understand their environment better and
to help them think critically.”

Bloom also attacks academics for
teaching “‘relativism,’”’ examining issues
comparatively, without imposing absolute
values. Young people view any ideas just
as good as any other, Bloom argues. As a
society, we should apply an absolut stan-
dard to all ideas, philosophies and
teachings, he says.

“We see it [relativism] as a wonderful
developement,”’ said Bowling Green’s
Nachbar. ‘‘When you disregard relativism
you open yourself up to academic
fascism.””

“He puts down pluralism so easily,”

said Gross, who lectures on rock and roll
lyrics at Oklahoma.
“He talks so easily about the truth. But
wisdom is not some self-contained
platitude from Plato. It’s ridiculous to say
that everything you need to know about
truth and wisdom is contained in a few
books.”

“Bloom assumes the achievements of
the white, male, Wetern tradition are the
only ones we need,’’ Gross added. ‘“That’s
racist in practice.’’

Nachbar agrees Bloom’s arguments
smack of racism and sexism, but points
out that it’s unintentional. His worship of
Plato, Shakespeare and Beethoven,
Nachbar said, reflects a “white, male-
dominated culture, ‘‘ not a conscious effort
to exclude female and non-white atrists
and philosophers.

Although Bloom decries popular culture
as brain candy, Gross asys rock, popular
movies and other media have value as
culture and art. ‘‘Rock and roll, like
Dickens, has an appeal to the masses, but
it can also engage the soul on very impor-
tant issues.””

“The majority of rock and roll is
mindless entertainment, but the best stuff
can be engaging,”’ Gross said.

“Bruce Springsteen — on every single
album there’s a raw energy there as well as
an extremely thoughtful introspection,”’
Gross asserted, citing songs such as ‘‘The
River,” ‘‘My Father’s House,” and
‘Darkness on the Edge of Town.””

“That line from ‘The River,’ ‘Isa dream
a lie if it don’t come true,’ has direct con-
nections to the work of Langston Hughes
and Ecclesiastes,’’ Gross asserted.

Wachbar said pop artists won’t replace

Albany
(AP) An official in the state Division for
Women says women are being given
more and more jobs in New York, but
have yet to be accepted by companies in
the state as a vital segment of the work
force.

The observation came in response to a
report released last week by~ Samuel
Ehrenhalt, head of the New York City-
based Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
U.S. Labor Department that detailed
what he called a ‘dramatic turnaround”
by the state’s economy between 1979 and
1987.

The report found that 633,000 more
people are now working in New York
than eight years ago and that the state’s
unemployment rate has dropped from
7.2 percent in 1979 to 4.9 percent in 1987.

Women acounted for four-fifths of all
New Yorkers who’ve found work over
the past eight years, the report said.
While women held 44.4 percent of the
jobs in the state work force in 1979, the
study said the percentage has now
jumped to 49.9 percent.

| Sp eer EE LETS SE
Women given more jobs, but
are unaccepted, report says

Beethoven and Plato as cultural icons,
and‘‘it’s irrelevant to analyze them in such
terms, like comparing oranges and ap-
ples.”’ Gross, however, predicts Bob Dylan
and the movie ‘‘Casblanca”’ will be viewed
reverentially by future generations.

Many of Bloom’s icons, such as
Shakespeare, wrote for mass audiences,
Nachbar said. “In fact, he was condemned
during his life by the elite because he didn’t
have a college education.’” Oo

“Not only are we seeing more women
working, but we see them entering new
job paths with a greater commitment to
employment,’’ Ehrenhalt said.

Ehrenhalt said he believes the statistics
show that more women wanted to enter
the job market rather than being forced
to take a job to make ends meet at home.
He said females are starting to become a
considerable force in what he called
traditional ‘‘male preserves,’ like the
financial world.

But Mariadele Priest, a program
associate with the state Division for
Women, said that while companies are
aware of the growing importance of
women in the job market, they are
generally not making a serious effort to
address issues most vital to working
women, such as day care, job sharing and
prenatal leave.

Priest said surveys by her office in-
dicate that most new working women are
still entering fields such as nursing,
secretarial work and bookkeeping —
“*sex segregated’’ jobs traditionally held
by females. i)

Funds for Kent State memorial fall short again

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Kent State
University’s attempt to build a memorial
to the four students killed and nine others
injured during a May 4, 1970, anti-war
demonstration has fallen short again.
Seeking $500,000 to build a memorial,
KSU has managed to raise just $30,000
from alumni and nothing at all from foun-
dations, Robert Beck, KSU’s chief fun-
draiser, conceded last week.
“Jt’s a damn shame,” said Dr. Ottavio
Casale, dean of KSU’s honors college.
The tragedy at Kent State — and the
shootings of two students at Jackson State
University soon thereafter — took place
during a national student strike called to
protest the American invasion of Cam-
bodia. National Guardsmen sent to KSU
to restore order subsequently fired on a
large crowd of students, killing the four.
“My own feeling is [the shootings] did

more than anything to stop the war in Viet-
nam,’’ Casale said, adding many people,
upset by the vision of soldiers shooting
students, “‘soured on the war’’ after Kent
State.

Pressure to memorialize the incident on
the campus intensified through years of

lawsuits, commission investigations and
countersuits.

KSU at one point built a gym on the site

of the shootings, provoking more protests
and, in part to calm the storm, agreed to

erect some kind of memorial.

During the next ten years, it rejected a
series of ideas and designs for memorial
sculptures until last year, when it finally
agreed to build a sculpture designed by
Chicago architect Bruno Ast.

In an interview with College Press Ser-
vice Oct. 14, however, Beck reported
KSU’s efforts to raise money to build the
Ast memorial haven’t worked very well so
far.

He remains optimistic: ‘‘The money can
be raised. All it takes is that 1 key interest,
that one person or organization. We'll
keep trying until we find it.”

Architect Ast was similarly upbeat.

Let us assume that success—both personal and financial—is a priority. How

can you best achieve it?
By making the right career choice—now.

Why is Macy's the right place for the-'born to win’ entrepreneur? Macy's is

Joe Gregor of the May 4th Task Force, a
student group formed 16 years ago to pur-

to the tragedy.

“Tt will take some public pressure to get
the university to do more,” said Gregor,
who noted KSU barely publicized the fund
drive.

Gregor maintained $500,000 ‘‘is not that
much. A lot more has been raised for the
university’s fashion museum.’’

Casale similarly was disappointed. ‘‘I
thought there were enough graduates of
Kent State who are living that we could get

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — A number of
colleges reported increases in racial ten-
sions on their campuses during late Oc-
tober, following still other incidents at Il-
linois and at New York’s Tompkins-
Cortland Community College earlier in the
month.

Officials of a Mississippi chapter of the
National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People (NAACP) say a police
investigation of a black student’s death is a
“cover up” and a “‘put off.”

“T’ve ... never seen
racism displayed so
publicly.’’

— Sami Brown

Jerome Williams, a black Mississippi
State student, drowned Aug. 28 when he
was thrown into a swimming pool by three
white students. The three later admitted to
throwing Williams in the pool. Police did
not arrest them because they said they
threw Williams in the pool as a joke.

The Starkville, Miss. police botched the
investigation, the NAACP charged.

Douglas Conner , the vice president of
the Oktibbeha County NAACP, said the 3
should have been booked that night. “If it
had been 3 black people who dumped a
white person in the pool, they would have
been arrested that night,’’ Conner said.
“At least the students should have been
booked.”’

NAACP official Roy Perkins said police
conducted a much more aggressive in-
vestigation earlier this year when a white
MSU professor was murdered, allegedly
by 2 black youths.

A grand jury will investigate Williams’

Several colleges reporting

death.

The Indiana University Muslim Student
Association says a fraternity dance held
Sept. 26 degraded Arab and Moslem
culture and beliefs.

The Phi Kappa Psi ‘‘Arabian Knights”
dance perpetuated insulting stereotypes,
according to IU Saudi Arabian student
Sami Baroum. ‘‘It was making fun of our
culture, religion, everything. I’ve been in
America for 10 years, and have never seen
racism displayed so publicly.’’

The fraternity distributed t-shirts depic-
ting 2 Arabs, a camel, and a gagged
woman. “The shirt confirms insulting
stereotypes,’” Baroum said. Photographs
of the dance that appered in the IU student
newspaper “‘showed girls dressed in offen-
sive clothing and bowing down in a mock-
ing way,’’ Baroum said.

The Muslim Student Association may
stage formal demonstrations to protest the
dance.

“Tt wasn’t meant to be a mockery of
anything,” fraternity president Dave
DeBrunner said. “‘We’ve been having the
dance for about 75 years, and it’s a
tradition.”

Students at the-University of Colorado
have revived efforts to rename a dormitory
now named for a participant in the 1864
Sand Creek Massacre.

In 1964, the CU Board of Regents nam-
ed the dorm Nichols Hall after David H.
Nichols, a Coloradan instrumental in
founding the university. Nichols, however,
also led a volunteer cavalry that butched
more than 160 Indians at Sand Creek,
Colo. :

Students and some university officials
have called upon the regents to change the
name of the dorm to White Antelope Hall
or Chief Niwot Hall, in memory of two In-
dians slain at Sand Creek. oO

Bank stops loan processes;
top business school closes

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICES — A bank’s
decision to stop processing loans for
students at Adelphi Business College, one
of the largest business school chains in the
country, has forced the school to close
down and sent about 2,500 students scur-
tying for a way to continue their
educations.

The students’ plight could extend to
others enrolled in proprietary colleges —
privately owned, for-profit trade or voca-
tional schools that, according to a
September congressional report, are so
good at getting Guaranteed Student Loans
(GSLs) for their students that they’re using
up loan money that students at other col-
leges would ordinarily get.

“It was too costly to
handle each
application
manually.’’

— Glen Bigelow

But after a bank said it would no longer
process Adelphi students’ loan applica-
tions, the whole 13-college chain closed,
Adelphi President Albert Terranova said.
Adelphi had 13 campuses in New York,
Arizona, California, and Michigan.

It also had a bankruptcy filing under
Chapter 11, a class action suit for allegedly
not delivering what it promised its New
York students, and a dispute with the
Highter Education Assistance Foundation
(HEAF).

In an earlier interview with the
Associated Press, Terranova said the
schools closed because First Independent
Trust Co. of Sacramento, Calif., refused

Presents

Tau Kappa Epsilon

to process student’s applications for
guaranteed loans.

Terranova also said Adelphi’s closing
was temporary. “‘It’s difficult to believe
the operation was so hand-to-mouth that a
lender declining to process loans would
have been the final blow. Few schools de-
pend on one leader,” said Craig Ulrich,
general counsel of the Consumer Banking
Association in Washington, D.C.

Glen Bigelow, executive vice president
of First Independent Trust, explained that
HEAF, the guarantor for his bank’s stu-
dent loans, placed various stipulations on
loans to Adelphi students that had to be
met before the loan was made.

“Tt was too costly to handle each ap-
plication manually. It was a losing pro-

one wee

position for us to follow the stipulations,
process the application and wait for
assurance from the guarantor,”’ Bigelow
added.

“*We couldn’t operate that way.’”’ The
CBA’s Ulrich added other banks may stop
making GSLs to trade college students in
the near future because they, too, don’t
make much money on them.

“Tn revising the Higher Education Act
(in 1986), Congress narrowed the yield
financial institutions get from the GSLs.
As the yield is reduced, the credit policies
tighten,”’ said Ulrich.

“Trade and technical schools, pro-
prietary schools will suffer. Banks will
have to ask if a school’s graduates were
successful in getting jobs and paying back
loans.”

On the other hand, most proprietary
schools depend heavily on federal
assistance. And for their students, those
schools may represent the chance of a
lifetime, said First Trust’s Bigelow. If the
financial aid is cut off, ‘‘their fate is seal-
ed.” oO

Traditional powers look to stay on top in NBA

By Arie Wollenberg
STAFF WRITER

For most of the decade, since
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson
came out of college in 1980, the
Los Angeles Lakers and Boston
Celtics have dominated the NBA
by winning the last seven of eight
NBA Championships.

This year there may be some
surprises, with many teams
fighting it out for the NBA title.
A couple of surprises from last
year had good draft choices and
have definitely improved their
chances for the upcoming season.

One of these teams is the Seat-
tle Supersonics, the team that sur-
prised everyone under first year
Coach Bernie Bickerstaff by mak-
ing it to the Western Conference

semi-finals before losing to the

eventual NBA champion L.A.
Lakers. They had a great draft
day.

The Sonics 6-foot-eleven Olden
Polynice and 6-foot-nine Derrick
McKey in the first round. Com-
bine them with perennial scorers
Dale Ellis and Tom Chambers,
and the Sonics have a very strong
team to challenge the rest of the
NBA.

Another team which had a fine
draft was the Chicago Bulls, who
added 6-foot-10 Horace Grant at
forward and six-foot-8 do-it-all
guard Scottie Pippen. Mr.
Everything, Michael Jordan, and
rebound master Charles Oakley
should make the Bulls, an already
tough NBA Central Division
team, even tougher.

The Eastern Conference of the
NBA is definitely going to be
tough. The Boston Celtics are no

longer the dominating team they
were two or three years ago.

Old age, injuries, and the death
of Len Bias have slowed the
Celtics down. But with Larry
Bird, maybe the greatest of all-
time, Kevin McHale, and the rest
of the starting five, the Celtics
will win the Atlantic Division.
The Celtics, however, with no
bench, should be a tired bunch
come playoff time.

The two teams who will
challenge the Celtics for the
Eastern title are the Atlanta
Hawks and the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons swept the Hawks in
four straight in the playoffs.

The Pistons are led by the craf-
ty moves of Isiah Thomas (who
sometimes forgets to pass the
ball), and the low post moves of
Adrian Dantley, who is probably
the best low post small forward in
the league.

These two, combined with the
shooting of Bill Laimbeer, Vinnie
Johnson, and newly acquired
seven-footer William Bedford
give the Pistons a stronger team
than in past years. The Pistons
are the squad that had the Boston
Celtics beat in the Eastern Con-
ference semi-finals when Isiah
Thomas threw the ball away to
Larry Bird with only seconds re-
maining, letting the Celtics come
back to win it in seven games.

The Hawks, who just fell apart
in the playoffs against the Pistons
last year, should definitely come
back strong to contend with the
Pistons for the Central title. With
the acrobatic moves of Domini-
que Wilkins and slam dunk king
Spud Webb to get the wheels tur-

ning, the Hawks should run like
wild in coach Mike Fratello’s
open offense.

Kevin Willis’ maturity at the
power forward spot gave the
Hawks an added inside scorer to
complement Wilkins and also
somebody to match up against the
Celtics’ Kevin McHale on
defense. The Hawks will win a lot
of games this year and should
definitely be in contention for the
whole thing.

The other teains in the East
who should make the playoffs are
the Bucks, 76ers, Bulls and
Bullets.

The Western Conference of the
NBA is a little simpler to figure
out, although there are a few
good teams coming from the state
of Texas.

Without any injuries, deaths,
or the destruction of Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar’s house, the Los
Angeles Lakers should win the
Western Conference. In defen-
ding their NBA championship
they are trying to become the first

team to win back to back titles
since 1969.

The Lakers, with playoff and
league Most Valuable Player
Magic Johnson to lead them,
ageless wonder Kareem Abdul-
Jabbar to nail the sky hook, and
Mr. Clutch, James Worthy, at
forward to score the big baskets,
might just break their own record
for wins in a single season.

The Lakers will have to con-
tend, though, with the twin
towers of the Houston Rockets.
The seven-foot towers of Akeem
Olajunon and Ralph Sampson,
along with small forward Rodney
McRay give the Rockets the best
front court in basketball. The
Rockets beat the Lakers two years
ago in the Western semi-finals
and could do it again with their
front line, but they might just bea
point guard away from moving
up to one of the NBA elite.

The Dallas Mavericks are the
other team from the Lone Star
State that could challenge the
Lakers for the Western title.

The Mavs have anew coach in
John Macleod, taking over for
Dick Motta, who quit after the
Mavericks got swept by the
Supersonics in last year’s
playoffs. This certainly helps
Maverick star forward Mark
Aguire, who feuded with Motta
often and took away from the
team’s unity. Aguire should be
ready to play for Coach Macleod,
a player’s coach.

As mentioned earlier, the Seat-
tle Supersonics should have an
improved team from last year’s
surprising squad and they might
be able to sneak in and surprise
the West once again.

Other teams who should fare
well in the Western Division are
the Portland Trailblazers, Utah
Jazz, Denver Nuggets, and
Golden State Warriors, who
could be the surprise team of the
year coming out of the West.

All in all, the Lakers should
repeat as champions, but the
competition will be much tougher
this year than in years past. oO

Coach Don Shula celebrates 25th anniversary

By Chiristopher Sciria
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

He was only 33 when he
started, the youngest head coach
in NFL history. Now he is con-
sidered the dean of coaches and a
certain Hall of Famer.

For 25 years, he has patrolled
the sidelines with that never
changing look, with the stare that
has made many a player rue the
day that he ever put on shoulder
pads.

Miami Dolphin Head Coach
Don Shula has entered his second
quartercenturyof leading an NFL
team. He spent 1963 to 1970 with
the then Baltimore Colts and
moved over to the Dolphins after
that.

In those 25 years, Shula has
amassed more wins than any
other active coach — 269 — and
only trails George Halar — 326
wins in 40 years — on the all-time
list. His winning percentage is the
best of all time.

Yet all this means nothing to
Shula. Being an NFL champ is
what matters the most. In this
department, Shula has won two
of six Super Bowls, but he has
been to the game more times than
any other coach.

When Shula first started in
Baltimore, people thought that
Colts owner Caroll Rosenbloom
was crazy to name a 33-year-old
assistant the head man. Shula
played in the NFL for eight years
from 1950 to 1957 and played
under Paul Brown, one of the
greatest football minds of our
time. After his playing days were
over, he served as an assistant in
college ball. Then in 1960, he was

made an assistant for the Detroit
Lions. Then it was to Baltimore,
and finally the head coach’s job.

Arriving in Miami in 1970,
Shula found a talented, but un-
disciplined team. In his first year,
the Dolphins went 10-4 and made
the playoffs as a wildcard. Even-
tually, two successive Super Bow!
wins and an undefeated season
finally rid Shula of a choker label.

With names like Griese,
Csonka and Warfield, the
Dolphins compiled a 26-2 record
in the championship years.
However, the WFL in 1975 took
away Csonka, Warfield and JIm
Kiick. This resulted in a decline
that produced Shula’s only losing
season in 1976, 6-8.

Shula had always been known
as a coach that liked to grind it
out with the run. Sometimes his
quarterbacks threw the ball only
six to ten times a game.

That all changed after the 1983
draft. One of Shula’s traits that
makes him a great coach is that he
changes his methods. He goes
with his strengths. Playing with
David Woodley as quarterback,
he utilized his running abilities
and ended up going to the Super
Bowl.

Now with Dan Marino, it’s
bombs away. Shula knows that he
has a talent, and he makes the
most of it. He motivates players
to play above their abilities.

Then there is the well-
chronicled Shula discipline. Men-
tal mistakes is one thing that real-
ly upsets Shula. He is the only
NFL coach that calls penalties in
practice. This has resulted as
Miami being the league’s least

penalized team year after year.
Now that Shula has become

one of the pillars of the NFL, he

is preparing his legacy. His son

(AP) Now let’s see if we have
this straight.

If a player jumps off the bench
during a fight on the ice in the
NHL, it’s a 10-game suspension.
That’s even if he never drops his
gloves, never throws a punch, See
the rules, adopted before the start
of this season.

If he pushes an official, the
price is 20 games. See Tom
Lysiak, 1983-84.

If he does drugs, it costs him 40
games. See Don Murdoch, 1978,
and Ric Nattress, 1983.

And if he attacks another
player with his stick, risking a
serious injury and sending the
other guy to the hospital, that’s
15 games. Fifteen games?

And that’s for a second of-
fense. The first time
Philadelphia’s Dave Brown tried
to separate Tomas Sandstrom’s
head from the NewYork Ranger’s
shoulders last season, the penalty
was five games. The league
trumpeted Brown’s 15-game
sentence as an example of its
tough stand on violence because it
matched the second longest
penalty for a player altercation.
The fact, however, is that this
case of assault and battery on the

David is assistant head coach ana
handles the quarterbacks and
wide receivers. He almost became
head coach of the Philadelphia

ice was not punished nearly as
seriously as some of the other
misdemeanors and felonies NHL
players might commit.

And that’s bad news.

Phil Esposito, general manager
of the Rangers, obviously has a
vested interest in the affair. but
seemed on target when he said,
‘The penalty is a travesty given
the gravity of the offense. The
severity of the action, the
deliberate and unprovoked at-
tempt to injure, the check being
delivered from behind, and the
fact this was a second offense all
call for a more severe penalty in
my opinion.

“My reaction is that this deci-
sion does not provide enough of a
deterrent nor enough of a
Message to prevent a recurrence
of such hehavior, and for that I
am worried about the future of
hockey.‘‘

The behavior involved Brown’s
continued determined attempt to
turn his stick into a wooden
necklace for Sandstrom. He ap-
parently has a fixation with the
Ranger right wing because he did
the same thing to him March 17,
drawing his first suspension.

Flyers Coach Mike Keenan,

Eagles at the age of 26. It only
seems right that when the day
comes for Shula to step down, it
will be his son who takes over.

Penance naire as eee cee ee ee eT
Suspension levied by NHL does
little to deter Flyers or Brown

however, must have been looking
the other way at that time, con-
sidering his reaction to Brown’s
latest suspension. ‘Something
must have provoked him to do
it,“ the coach said, ‘because he’s
never used a stick against anyone
like that.””

; In 1981-82, Brown’s first year
in professional hockey, he had
344 penalty minutes in 62 games
for Saskatoon. This caught the at-
tention of the peace-loving, law-
abideng Flyers, who drafted him.
Brown was so encouraged by their
interest that he upped his penalty
minutes total to 418 the next year.
That’s 762 minutes in two
seasons. It’s a wonder he found
the time to score 19 goals.

The Flyers are no dummies.
They knew that despite their pro-
testations that Sandstrom was a
troublemaker, Brown faced a
substantial suspension for the
hatchet job he did on the Ranger.
So they went out and signed a free
agent replacement player.

Nick Fotiu, 1,322 penalty
minutes and 60 goals in 622
previous NHL seasons was their
choice. He fills the bill nicely,
wouldn’t you say? Oo

Men Danes take
12th place at
New York meet

By Steve Silberglied
‘STAFF WRITER

With the mens cross-country Regional
Meet in one week, Albany Coach Roberto
Vives rested his top six runners at the New
York State Meet this past Saturday, held in
Schenectady.

The result was that the Dane’s ‘‘B’’
team ran against many strong units and
finished 12th of 18 teams.

The weather was less than ideal for the
race. It snowed the night before, leaving
the course soggy. Gusting winds affected
the runners as well.

“I had a lot of
adreneline flowing.’’
— Chris Kranick

The University of Rochester did not
seem to mind these conditions. They
dominated the competition, scoring 32
points. St. Lawrence, led by Jukka Jam-
mosyo’s winning time of 25:24, finished
second with 121 points.

Albany sphomore C.J. Bohrer led the
Danes through the first mile in 5:01. He
was followed by sophomore Chris Kranick
in 5:04, and junior Vernon Miller wsho
registered a 5:10. Sophomore Chris Longo
passed the mile in 5:15, one second ahead
of freshman Steve Murray.

By the three mile mark Kranick was the
Danes’ top runner, passing through in
16:06. Miller moved up as well, crossing
through in 16:14. Longo was close behind
in 16:191. The next two Albany runners
were Bohrer in 16:42 and Murray in 16:54.
For Murray, it represented his fastest time
for three miles.

Clearly though, it was Kranick who was
looking the strongest amongst the
Danes,running very much under control.

“J had a lot of adrenaline flowing
before the race’’ Kranick recalled. ‘It was
to the point that I didn’t feel any hills or
the wind for three miles.”

Kranick would wind up being the Danes
top finisher, placing 36th at 27:13. As a
result of his finish, he earned a position on
the Danes’ regional team next week.

Next to finish for the Danes was Miller
in 27:30. He placed 49th, using an outstan-
ding kick in which he passed eight runners
in the final straightaway.

Longo and Murray were the Danes third
and fourth finishers as each ran a personal
best time. Longo was 55th in 27:40, Mur-
ray 87th in 28:31. They were named ‘‘Run-
ners of the Meet,’’ by Coach Vives.

Longo commented, ‘I’m happy with
the time I ran today. It’s always good to
end the season on a positive not like this.’”

JOHN RYAN UPS
The Dane men placed 12th.

Rounding out the Danes scoring was
Bohrer, who placed 93rd with a time of
28:40.

Though the Danes did not come close
to their fifth place goal, the meet was more
developmental than anything else, and as a
result the team was not down after the
race. z

Coach Vives stated, ‘‘It was good to give
some of the young guys some experience.
Individually, we had a personal best by
Kranick and a big breakthrough from
Longo and Murray so I’m pleased
overall.””

Murray, the improving freshman, stated
“I knew this was a big meet for me so I
went out hard and fortunately I was able
to keep up the pace.’’

For Kranick and the top six Danes who
rested this weekend, their next stop is the
Eastern Regional meet with a berth to the
Nationals at stake.

“We'll have to have a super race if we
want to pull this off,’’ Coach Vives said.
“Hopefully with our team rested, things
will turn out all right for us and we could
surprise some teams.” a)

The women’s cross country team had an
impressive ninth-place showing Saturday
in the ECAC championships, held at Tufts
University.

Twenty-two out of the 36 teams scored
in the meet, including the Danes. The
results were: Ithaca 34, Plattsburgh 126,
Bowdoin 147, Middlebury 164, Geneseo
176, Colby 177, Bates 189, South Maine

UMass at Boston 630.

The winner of the meet was Ithaca’s
Janette Bon Rouhi, whose time was 17:53.

Kerrie Charron was Albany’s first run-
ner, and was thirty-first overall with a time
of 19:41.

She said ‘‘It was very windy. The start
was very slow. The first mile was so con-
gested . . . I didn’t expect to do so well. I
was so surprised. [The course] was kind of
rocky. There were no major hills; it was
pretty compatible with our course, only it
was ...rockier with rolling hills. 1 just
wanted to make up for the first mile being
slow.””

Barbra Ascher was the Great Danes’
next runner. Her time of 19:58 earned her
a thirty-ninth place finish.

Albany’s Kathy Bellantoni was the fifty-
ninth place finisher. Her time was 20:22.

Coach Ron White commented that she
was “‘the breakthrough runner of the
meet.””

Charron said, ‘‘Kathy was really happy
with her race. She had a good race; she was
tough.”

Teammate Rachel Braslow also remark-
ed ‘‘Kathy had a great race.’” Braslow was
SUNYA’s second finisher, coming in
seventy-second with a time of 20:41.

She mentioned, “It was a very tough
field, but it was a good course. It should be
a tuneup [for this Saturday’s meet.] The
first mile of the course was very tough
because there were 32 teams and there was
a lot of pushing and shoving.”

Roseanne Smith came in two seconds
later and finished seventy-fifth.

Mary Lou Webster was ninety-fourth
overall for the Danes with a time of 21:06.

Denise Buneo finished ninty-eighth of
the 178 finishers — her time was 21:13.

Coach Ron White said that ‘‘It was a
really good tuneup. We consider that a
really good showing... We’ve always
been within the top ten teams in the eastern
championship. This was, again, another
very respectable showing. I think that the
race which is coming up this weekend is for
all the marbles.”

Saturday’s meet will be the NCAA
Regional Qualifying Meet. It will be held
in Saratoga State Park. im

The Great Dane women harriers took home a ninth-place showing in the ECAC

Albany wrestlers finish fifth in Dane classic

By Nanci Cohen
For several of Albany State’s new
wrestlers, the ninth annual Great Dane
Classic, held Sunday in University Gym,
was their first college wrestling experience.
With the guiding hand of Coach Joe
DeMeo urging them on, they proved to be
fierc competition for the 13 teams present.
Over 200 wrestlers from schools in the
Northeast, including Division I Boston
University, Brown University and Boston
College, participated in the tournament.
Last year, Boston University tied
Albany for first place. However, this year
B.U. took third while Albany finished
fifth. Delhi won the tournament with two
champions and three runners-up, while
Brown finished a close second.
Assistant Coach Dale Oliver said,

“Overall, Albany wrestled very well
despite the fact that there were several
freshmen with no college experience.’’

Freshman Billy Mallin, 142 pounds,
wrestled seven matches and took fourth
place. His only two losses were to Pete
Gnutti of Wagner, who placed third in the
tournament. Harry Wisher and Dave Mer-
tin, both freshmen, wrestled well in a
tough weight class.

Outstanding newcomer Tony DaLuca
placed second at the 142 level. This was his
first college performance since he
transfered from a school without a wrestl-
ing program. Unfortunatley, he was forc-
ed to withdraw from the tournament
before the final match due to strained
ligaments.

DaLuca said, ‘I was unsure of what
kind of competition to expect after two
years without wrestling.’’

He was disappointed with having to
defaulty because he had been looking for-
ward to wrestling Rod Smith of Western
New England, a school ranked fourth in
the nation.

Transfer Rick Florio also placed fourth.
He was in the 126-pound class. Florio pin-
ned Pat Hagged of Boston College in the
second period and defeated Bob Lally,
also from B.C., by a technical fall.

Andy Gordon overpowered Doug Calley
of Boston College and Allen Thoburn of
Norwich, but later fell to Nat McClumber
of Brown University, who went on to take

first place. Gordon, a junior, finished
fourth in the 134 competition.

Junior Paul Prosser registered wins
against Rich Gess of B.U. and Joe Morgan
of Delhi before losing to teammate Mallin.
Prosser took sixth in the 142-pound weight
class.

Sophomore Chris Zogby won four mat-
ched at 158, including a 6-0 win over Mark
Mulholl of Adirondack Community
College.

Asa whole, the team wrestled well. This
is a rebuilding year and as this is still early
in the season, the ability of the freshmen
recruites is not yet fully developed.
However, this tournament showed the
potential of the newcomers — freshmen
and transfers included. oO

As the University of Buffalo
Bulls star running back O.D.
Underwood sat ponderng the last
action he would ever take on his
home field as a college football
player — a fumble that cemented
Albany State’s 22-21 win Satur-
day at UB stadium — the celebra-
tion of a Great Dane team that
had lost three straight was ensu-
ing with little notice being given
to the Bull’s fallen hero.

It is hard to have sympathy
when the fates treat you as rudely
as they have treated Bob Ford’s
Great Danes.

Albany did, however, gain a
measure of revenge against the
football fates with the win Satur-
day. More importantly, they gain-
ed revenge on a football team that
beat them by one point on a two-
point conversion late in the game
last year.

How did
revenge?

With 2 Pat Ryder two point
conversion late in the game. So
much for sympathy. Sorry O.D.

The win gives the Danes a mark
of 5-4 and snaps a frustrating
three game losing streak.

In a game full of surprises,
none was greater than the start of
Mark Miller at quarterback.
Miller, filling in for a slightly in-
jured Pat Ryder, did a good job
directing the Dane offense.
Although he eventually gave way
to incumbant quarterback Ryder,
who directed the game winning
drive, Ford praised Miller’s
performance.

“*He’s got a lot of confidence in
himself,’’ said Ford. ‘‘He doesn’t
have the physical capabilities that
Pat has running or throwing, but
he threw the ball well and did a

the Danes gain

Pat Ryder’s two-point conversion beat Buffalo Saturday.

good job running the offense.”

Ford had hoped Miller could go
the whole way in a Dane victory.

“I think its unfortunate we had
to relieve Mark. But you can’t
argue with what Pat did.

There also wasn’t any arguing
with Underwood. The Division I
transfer from Kent State slashed
and weaved his way for 208 yards
on 30 carries and had a major role
in each of the Bull’s scores.

“We had out work cut out for
us with that guy,’’ said Ford. ‘‘It
sounds kind of funny to say that
we did a good job and held a guy
to 200 yards, but I thought we did
okay on the guy.””

Underwood introduced himself
rather quickly to the Albany
defense. After he started with a
two yard run, he then broke off a
44 yard gain and brought the ball
to the Albany three. From there
John Hartman brought it in and
the Bulls took a 7-0 lead. The

drive took only 1:52.

Indeed, the only other score of
the half came as a result of a well-
directed drive by the Danes’
Miller.

After an Underwood fumble —
fumbling seems to be the only
way of stopping him — the Danes
started their march. The chief ac-
tor in this drive was sophomore
Pete Pedro, who carried six times.
His sixth was a_ three-yard
touchdown run which tied the
game at 7 and gave Miller an add-
ed boost of confidence.

The intermission seemed to give
the Bulls, and especially Under-
wood, a rest. After an intercep-
tion of Miller, the Bulls took over
at the Albany 40 yard line. Under-
wood struck for 19, and then 14,
and then burst through for a five
yard touchdown. Even though
Underwood was visibly upset
following the game, he grudgingly
admitted that he had a fine game.

TYGAR UPS

“If you discount the fumbles,”
said the senior, ‘‘I had a great
game, If you count them, I
stunk.”

Stinking or not, his touchdown
counted. Following a missed extra
point it, was 13-7, Buffalo.

Back at the Dane offense,
Miller and his teammates were
moving the ball but couldn’t put
it into the endzone. That was, of
course, until 7:02 remained in the
third quarter. This drive seemed
to reflect the balanced talents of
Miller himself. Not spectacular,
but solid. Pedro, Randy Banks
and Miller did the running.

Albany senior Glenn Carlin, as
he has been doing all season, did
the receiving. This time he caught
12 yard touchdown and the Danes
had the lead for the first time in
the game, 14-13. Carlin shared
eight passes on the day for 91
yards. His sixth catch broke John

Reception record of 78. He is only
six yards short of Donnely’s yar-
dage record. Ford had plenty to
say about Carlin’s performance
up to this point.

“Glenn Carlin is very hard on
himself,’’said Ford. ‘‘He’s a
perfectionist. This season he has
been utterly fantastic. And his
two best catches Saturday were
ruled out of bounds.”

Ford, due to the apparent ease
of Carlins feats, says he must
guard against taking Carlin for
granted.

“When you have a Picasso,”
said Ford, ‘‘you probably don’t
miss him until he’s gone.

It looked, however, that
Carlins’s records and anything
else positive for the Danes would
go for naught.

With 13 minutes left in the
game, Buffalo’s Mike Giammuso
scampered in from eleven yards
out for a touchdown. After a suc-
cessful two-point conversion, it
was 21-14, Buffalo.

Enter Ryder, the sophomore
took charge immediately with a
10 yard completion to Carlin.

Downftield, anyway. Ryder
kept four times in the drive for 28
total yards. A 13 yard completion
to Carlin on a third down and six
brought the ball to the Buffalo
three.

From the three it was Joe
Samora who pounded up the mid-
dle twice and finally got in.

21-20. There was no doubt
what Ford would do. Go for two.

“We kind of got a reprieve
there,”*said Ford.

Ford referred to a face mask
penalty against UB on Ryder’s at-
tempted conversion.

Spikers edge Bombers for state championship

By Stef McDonald
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Great Dane volleyball team didn’t
expect a whole lot of excitement en route
to the finals of the State Championship
match at Cortland this past weekend.

Seeded first, favored to win and defen-
ding their state title, the Dane spikers did,
however, run into what turned out to be a
mere scare in the semi-finals with Ithaca.

“It was the most exciting match all
season,”’ said Julie Silberbush.

After easily defeating Clarkson, 15-0
and 15-5, Binghamton, 15-4 and 15-8, and
Nazareth, 15-7 and 15-11. In the quarter
finals, the Danes defeated the University
of Rochester in the quarter finals, 15-7 and
15-9, the Danes met up with the Ithaca
Bombers.

The Danes took the first game, 15-10,
then dropped the second to the Bombers,
13-15. then in the third and deciding game,
the challenge came for the Danes.

“They played well and we played well,””
said Silverbush. Eventually, though, one
team must win and Ithaca twice came
within one point of eliminating the Danes.

“We blew two serves, sided out a lot and
ran out of substitutions,’’ said Coach Pat
Dwyer.

Down by one point, the Danes were
forced to keep their line-up and make do
with what faced them.

After a few rotations, the Danes did
catch up and went ahead.

“We couldn’t afford a mistake,’’ said
Dwyer, “‘and we didn’t make any.””

The 1987-88 Albany State swim season
got underway this weekend with the
season opening Great Dane Relay meet
here at the Albany pool.

The meet which, consists of only relay
events, was attended by such schools as
the University of Vermont, a Division I
school, Hartwick, John Abbott from
Canada, SUNY rivel New Paltz, and the
U.S. Coast Guard.

The men’s meet was won by the U.S.
Coast Guard, who finished with 141
points. The Great Danes came in third
with 118 points and University of Ver-

edging Albany out by just two points.

“The men were a nice surprize, I thought
it would be tough for them to break into

‘When we have the ball we just work at
one point at a time,”’ said Dwyer.

The lady Danes took second place in
the meet with 117 points. The University

with 151 points, with Hartwick coming in
third place.

“‘All the women did a good job, I was
pleased with the performances of all of
