Professors picket outside the Campus Center

Profs rally over missing contract

By Joseph Fusco

Members of the United University Professions

“rights ot labor,

Campus Center Thursday afternoon to protest
stalled contract negotiations with the Governor's
Office of Employee Relations (OER).

The demonstration, which lasted one hour, drew
nearly 100 people, including professors, students,
and university professionals.

The purpose of the picketing, according to
Myron Taylor, secretary of the Albany chapter of
UUP and a SUNYA English professor, was mostly
informational. Taylor stressed the fact that UUP
has worked without a contract

Similar demonstrations have occurred on cam-
puses throughout the SUNY system this fall,
although this was the first such protest to take place

at SUNYA.

“This basically shows the state and the ad-
ministration that the members of UUP are behind

that fewer and fewer decisions be made by fiat.””

The state legislature passed a bill earlier this year
siving SUNY greater control over its own manage-
ment. Some of UUP's demands include greater pro-
tection from administrative retrenchment,
equitable treatment for part-time instructors and
scrapping of OER's proposal for a reviewable
tenure system, which would subject tenured pro-
fessors to periodic performance review.

Christine Bose, a SUNYA Sociology professor
and a member of UUP's Negotiating Committee,
stressed that the demonstration was a good exercise
in emphasizing the union's solidarity, “We're
behind our union,” she said, “We wanted to
educate our own members and we wanted everyone
on campus to know the issues as well.””

Bose said that during the course of negotiations,
which began last January, UUP proposals have not
been taken seriously and UUP has had difficulty

Morning fire wrecks Seneca suite

By Andrea Corson
‘STAFF WRITER

A fire on the first floor of Indian Quad’s
Seneca Hall Wednesday morning left
students standing outside for over an hour
as firefighters extinguished the blaze,

There were no reported injuries and
damages seemed limited to the suite where
the fire erupted, but the causes of the 8
a.m. fire were a subject for debate.

The fire alarm was pulled at 8:16 a.m.
by Seneca resident Louis Hyman, who
lives in Suite 102, where the fire started. ‘1
saw smoke down at the side of my bed and
I got up. I woke up my roommate and my
suitemates, pulled the fire alarm and then
ran outside," he said,

Hyman said that he believed that the fire
may have started from an electrical outlet
somewhere, ‘I think I lost at least $1,000
of stuff in my room, including a television,
a radio and a couple of jackets,”” he said.

After Hyman pulled the alarm, Seneca
Resident Assistants (RAs) Ingrid Hansen
and Steven Zirkel started knocking on peo-
ple’s doors to get them out, No injuries
were reported,

According to Assistant Vice President
for Facilities Dennis Stevens, the official
report from the fire department said that
the investigation conclusively determined
the fire not to be related to electrical pro-
blems, but that it was probably caused by
careless smoking.

Hyman said that “the only fire damage
was contained to the one bedroom,
however there was smoke damage to the
other bedroom,” in the suite.

Many students thought the alarm was a
practical joke. “I didn’t believe that the
fire was real,” said Andrew Moss, a third
floor Seneca resident.

Nancy Louis, administrative aid for the
Public Safety Department said the first of-
ficers arrived at 8:22 a.m. although there
was some disagreement as to how long it
took the firefighters to arrive.

“It seemed to take quite a while for the
fire department to get here,"* said Seneca
resident Chris Hlavatovic.

David Nirenberg, another resident said
that “‘until they got the hose hooked up to
the water hydrant it took at least another
10 or 15 minutes.””

However, battalion chief Robert Schaf-
fer said that he had no idea why students
were saying it took so long for the depart-
ment to get there. “We got the call at
a.m. and we were here at 8:29 a.m.
said.

Students from Adirondack and Cayuga
Halls were evacuated as well as students
from Seneca and Tuscarora.

According to Elizabeth Marcolini, Area
Coordinator for Indian Quad, the only
reason why students were evacuated from
Adirondack and Cayuga was because the
fire alarm had gone on at the same time as

the one in Seneca. “We don’t know if
there was a connection,” she said, adding
that it was probably a coincidence,

At the time of the fire, students were
also being evacuated from the cafeteria. ‘1
went downstairs o the cafeteria afterwards
to have breakfast and they kicked me out
of there, too," said Hlavatovic.

The firefighters made their way into the
room and although students say that one
of the windows was open, the firefighters
broke the glass on all the windows. Ex-
plained Stevens, “Firemen do this to
relieve some of the smoke condition in the
room." Stevens said that the northwest
corner of the room was charred and that
before the room can be lived in again it
must be “extensively cleaned.'” He added
that there was ‘more smoke and water
damage than actual fire damage.”

Dutch refuse invite

The Hague
(AP) Premier Ruud Lubbers said today he
had rejected an invitation by Moscow to
discuss the projected deployment of cruise
missiles in the Netherlands,

Lubbers said the Soviet invitation was
made on condition the Dutch government
put off a final decision on deployment.
That decision was expected Friday,

Lubbers told Parliament he received a
cable signed by Soviet Prime
Nikolai Ryzhkov, inviting him for talks
“anywhere” on cruise deployment if Lub-
bers’ center-right government postponed a
deployment decision.

“It would not be right to postpone the
decision once more, and so it would not be
right to accept the invitation,” Lubbers
said,

Friday's decision, expected to be in
favor of deploying the 48 NATO medium-
range missiles in 1988, would end nearly
years of waffling over the issue.

PLO policy toughened

Rome

(AP) The five parties that form Italy's

government pledged a tougher policy

toward the PLO as part of a deal to rebuild

Socialist Premier Bettino Craxi’s coalition

that collapsed because of the Achille
‘0 hijacking.

The policy change helped party leaders
to end Wednesday the government crisis
that occurred when one party, the
Republicans led by Defense Minister
Giovanni Spadolini, walked out to protest
the release of PLO official Mohammed
Abul el Abbas.

‘American officials accuse Abbas of be-
ing the mastermind of the hijacking, in
which 69-year-old Leon Klinghoffer of
New York was killed.

The settlement among the five parties,
based on a compromise policy declaration,
renews the government’s pledge to fight in-
ternational terrorism, It also defined
Italy's foreign policy objectives and stress-
ced the need for closer consultations on ma-
jor decisions.

Juan causes floods

New Orleans
(AP) With damage already estimated at $1
billion, Tropical Storm Juan poured more
rain along the Gulf Coast Thursday as
levees in suburbs of New Orleans and
smaller South Louisiana communities were
strained by floods caused by the lingering
storm,

‘The toll from the storm's four-day ram-
page back and forth along the coast
already stood at seven confirmed deaths.
The storm, downgraded from a hurricane
toa tropical storm Tuesday, also left eight
people missing and thousands home!

Gov. Edwin W, Edwards of Louisiana
said $0,000 flooded homes, about $110
million in damage to sugar cane and other
unspecified damage added up to about $1
billion in storm damage,

A dollar estimate of offshore damage
was not available, but several
multimillion-dollar oil rigs were lost or
seriously damaged.

Economy barely rose

Washington
(AP) The government's main gauge of
future economic activity rose a barely
perceptible 0.1 percent in September, the
government reported Thursday.
The weak performance of the Index of
Leading Indicators, along with a big in-
crease in the nation’s trade deficit, were

certain to fuel pessimism about the
economic future.

‘The slight 0.1 percent rise in the leading
index was sharply lower than the revised
0.9 percent August gain and 0.7 percent
July increase.

Bomb explodes in jet

Grapevine, Texas
(AP) An explosive device blew up inside a
baggage compartment of a jet after it land-
ed Thursday at the Dallas-Fort Worth In-

The 147 passengers and seven crew
members aboard American Airlines flight
203, flying from Austin to San Francisco,

8 a.m. after smoke was found inside a bag-
gage compartment, said John Raymond, @

Revamped elections policy includes financing

‘When Central Council ad-

vice presidential candidates that
receive 15 percent or more of the
regular election vote can be reim-

election expenses provided he or

these expenses.

Leading the debate against
campaign financing was Student

Bookstore pledges anti-shoplifting

By Pam Conway
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Prospective shoplifters should think
twice about stealing merchandise from
Barnes and Noble bookstore, now that a
stricter prosecuting policy has been
implemented.

On October 30th, Barnes and Noble
adopted a policy which states that charges
will be filed with university police against
any person caught steal
the amount.

Bookstore manager Patrick Haze said
that although shoplifting is not a major

“it is a problem everywhere

retail outlets must deal with.”*
Haze estimated that the bookstore loses
about $160,000 a year to what he called
“shrinkage”, a large portion of which is
the result of student shoplifting, while the
rest is attributed to employee theft and
Paper error,

To control customer theft, Barnes and
Noble uses a security system made by 3M
which involves magnetically ‘“‘bugging””
items which are then desensitized at the
time of purchase, Items which have not
been desensitized will trigger an alarm

Candidates slated to appear Sunday
night include “Albany Mayor Thomas
Whalen who is up for re-election, Joseph
Lynn, Bob Van Anburgh, Nancy Burton,
Tom Burch, Harold Greenstein, Richard
Bennett and Nick Collucio all running for
City Alderman positions, and Helen
DesFosses, running for Albany School
Board,

Referring to issues that the candidates
will be discussing, Hartman said he feels
that “‘ways to improve student-community
relations will be a focal point.” Can-
didates may also discuss issues like the
“Grouper Law,” off campus housing, and
parking issues.

Stephanie Kay, Vice Chair of Student
Action stressed the importance of student
voting. She said that students spend nine
out of twelve months in Albany and that

“The system has been

those Students living off campus should be
especially aware of local politics. ““We are
a part of the community, Students often
get taken advantage of because they are
passive. But if we prove them wrong then
they'll have to acknowledge us," she sald,

“We feel that if students do voice their
opinions then we can have a meaningful
say in the community," she added,

“For an issue that a student feels strong-
ly about they can’t expect anybody to
listen if they don’t vote,"” Hartman said.

Kay acknowledged that a lot of students
don’t have the time to keep up with local
politics. ‘Meet the Candidates Night"
could be very informative, she said.

Hartman added that students should try
to attend even if only for the social aspect
of the evening. He said he expects between
200 and 300 people to attend.

when taken out of the store, Although
“not all items are bugged, the system has
been very effective in cutting down on
shopliftin

In the past, said Haze, customers caught
shoplifting would be turned over to cam-
pus security “depending on whether or not
they were repeat offenders and the amount
they had stolen,” He added that, ‘It is
usually just easier to embarrass the person
and let themn know they won't get away
with it.”

This, however, has not been effective
enough, said Haze, We may stop that

one person from stealing again, but no one
really sees anything. It's just a slap on the
wrist and tends to lead to repeat
offenders.

If a customer is prosecuted, the
bookstore has the option of having the
person arrested on a criminal charge which
would result in a possible court ap-
pearance, or having them appear before
the University Judicial Board,

‘According to Karleen Karlson, Assistant
Director of Residential Life, the University
prosecution procedure is the same for
shoplifters as it is for other offenses on

250 people attended last year's ‘‘Meet

a question and answer session, said Hart-
man, mentioning that this year's format
will be betier suited for students, “If
students have something they would like
addressed, it is a perfect time to ask," he
said,

According to Hartman, Student Action
has registered 4,200 students to vote this
year, as opposed to 6,000 students
registered last year, Also, last year, interest
was greater because it was a presidential
ballot, he said.

SA President Steve Gawley summed it
up by saying that one of the major pur-
poses of ‘Meet the Candidates Night” is

“The student has a choice," said
Karlson, “of three options. Most choose
‘mutual consent’ in which the student
pleads guilty and does not have to have a
judicial hearing, because they embarassed
at being caught and just want to take the
punishment.”

The second option, said Karlson, is for a
student to meet with a hearing officer who
will hear both sides and make a decision as
to whether the person is guilty or innocent,
This option, according to Karlson, ‘is
usually chosen when the student is guilty
but just wants to explain his side of the
story.””

An accused shoplifter can also opt to
present the case in front of a peer board
made up of between five and ten students
who will decide whether or not the student
is guilty, said Karlson,

‘The typical penalty for shoplifting, said
Karlson, is ‘‘a sanction or University
disciplinery warning lasting for one year,
but that can change depending on the at-
titude of the student and the amount of the
crime,” o

community beyond the university, while we are still
here,"" she added. ‘We want to reach out to these
kids through organizations.”*

“Who needed what”’ was the main question fac-
ed by the staff of Telethon said Murphy, because
the cancer care program needed a social worker
while the Spinal Bifida program needed a coor-
dinating nurse and Parson’s needed new windows
and a bathroom.

According to Murphy, Telethon’s gross last year
was somewhere between $38,000 and $40,000 with
the Albany Boys Club being the major recipient,
but only $16,000 was given away because of the
overhead costs.

“Our overhead last year was incredible and this
year we're trying to keep costs low,”” Murphy said,
adding that despite the costs, “‘the groups we gave
the money to would have benefited from any
amount of money.”

Since the year has just begun and no major events
have taken place yet, donations to Telethon amount
to only about $500 so far, Murphy explained. “We
hope to make as much money as possible, of course
we're going to try to do better than any other year
as well.

Upcoming Telethon events include Afternoon at
the Bars on November 7 and “Rock and Roll War-
fare — Batle of the Bands” on Nvember 23.

Anne Rephan, nurse coordinator of the coor-
dinated care program in pediatrics at the Albany
Medical Center said the money the Spinal Bifida
program receives will not be spent on equipment,
but will be used to support the cliical personnel.

She explained that Spinal Bifida is a medical con-
dition in newborn infants in which they are born
with part of their spine outside of their body. “We
have 93 patients in our program and most all of
them are pretty active,"” she said, adding “Every
patient is assigned to a special nurse coordinator
who serves as,the prime contact person with the pa-
tient’s medical doctor:

According to Rephan, the program offers a
number of services which include support groups
for patients’ families, a coordinated medical clinic,
medical services, direct clinical nursing services and
even pre-school services. “The nursing coordina-
tion role is a very extensive one,” she said.

According to Pat Wood, coordinator of Public
Information at Parson's Development Center, the
facility is ‘‘a center for emotionally troubled and
evlopmentally disabled children.”

““We offer a wide range of educational, residen-
tial and clinical programs for children and their
families,” she said, adding “This past year we serv-
ed over 3,400 children and families,

Wood said that the money ‘would be used for
children’s activities funds,” something which she
says would not ordinarily be covered by the center.

‘The program director of the Child Cancer Care
program was unavailable for commenting. o

Grave patrols'seek desecration halt

By Ken Dornbaum
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

While most students at SUNYA’ were
celebrating Halloween at parties and bars,
a group of about 90 Jewish students spent
the night standing vigil at area’ Synagogues
and Jewish ctmetaries.

‘The students, who were members of the ~
Revisionist Zionist’Alternative (RZA) and
the Alpha Epsiton Pi (AEPi) fraternity
also stood vigil last Saturday night and on
Wednesday, ‘the 'night before Halloween.

“This is the fourth year we've been do-

said Robin Berloff, RZA Presi-

"This is to act a sa deterrent against

anti-semitism: As an active Jewish group}

we have responsibilities to the Jewish com-
munity,” she said,

Berloff explained that in’ the past,
Jewish cemetaries and synagogues have
been targets for’ vandalism around Hallo-—
ween. “Last year, the week before Hallo-
ween, over 160 tombstones were overturn-
éd at the Jewish cemetary across form
Crossgates.””

“Last year at Halloween a synagogue in
the New York area was destroyed by van-
dals using a bull dozer,” said Berloff.

According to Rob Segall, President of
AEPi, his group became involved because
it ‘has strong Jewish ties and a commit-
ment to cmmunity service."” He added that
AEP is a social fraternity.

“We are working in conjunction with
the police,’* Segall said. “If there are any
distrubances we are going to call the
police. We don’t advocate violence. We're
just there as a deterrent.

“Measures have been taken in case of an
‘emergency. The benefits of having AEPi
there is having more people there as
backups," Segall said. “The whole frater-
nity feels strongly about it and we feel it
needs to be done,” he said, adding that
voluitteers would be there from 8 p.m.
Thursday night util sunrise Friday.

“I'm here because I think that it's a
good idea," said Sharon Kaplan, a junior
at SUNYA. ‘‘Last year a lot of graves were
knocked over and I don’t want to see it
happen again this year,”” she said.

Kaplan added that she would have gone
to a party at the Hilton if she had not at-
tended the vigil. Kaplan is not associated
with either RZA or AEPi, she said.

“a deterrent agaist anti-semitism.

‘The organizer of the vigil, Evan Chafitz,
said, “RZA has been doing this for four
years.” This year saw the biggest turnout
ever, he added.

“Two years ago we removed 25 people
from here [the Jewish cemetary near
Crossgates) the night before Halloween,"
Chafitz said. “Last Saturday night we
patrolled for 1% hours. After we left,
UPD removed three people from the Fuller
Road Jewish cemetary," he added.

“I don’t see what people find so intrigu-
ing about cemetaries and if they are in-
trigued, why do they have to desecrate
these places?” Chafitz asked.

“People do desecrate Jewish shrines
because of anti-semitism, which is inherent
in this society,”” Chafitz said, “Any excuse
people have’ to. manifest anti-semitism,
they'll use it

Chafitz said that in addition to the
patrols stationed at the two cemetaries,

vigils were mounted at five Albany
synagogues, the Albany Jewish Communi-
ty Center on Whitehall Road and at the
Jewish Federation Building on Colvin
Avenue in Albany.

“It’s really screwed up that this has to
happen,” said Chafitz. “Each of the past
four years we've done this there have been
incidents.

“{ made a commitment to be here,"
AEPi member Bryan Gordon said, adding
that he did not have previous plans for
Halloween, “AEPi supported the idea 100
percent. The idea came about a month

0.""

Gordon estimated that 75 percent of the
68 people in the fraternity were par-
ticipating in the vigil. “I think it's good
that the press is covering this to show that
people can deter vandalism,” he said, ad-
ding, ‘Hopefully in the future we may not
have to do this,” o

SA racks up highest voter reg. figures in nation

For the second consecutive year, SUNYA students lead

the nation’s colleges and universities in voter

Frat ruling handed down

A state court ruled last week that Sigma Chi of-
ficers from the University of Virginia were not ac-
ting as University agents when they planned a
fraternity outing in 1982 that killed two students
and permanently disabled another.

The outing ended when a truck filled with
students and two kegs of beer overturned. Thomas
Stumm, who suffered irreversible injuries, is now
suing for damages.

In August, a Colorado state court held the
University of Denver liable for a fraternity accident
in which a student was injured,

Blacks underrepresented

In a recent report, the American Council on
Education has found that in 1982, black students
made up 9.9 percent of the enrollment in college
academic programs across the nation. 12 pecent of
the United States’ population is comprised of
blacks,

According to the report, American universities
and colleges are suffering from “chronic under-
representation” of blacks in college classrooms.

The report cites this as proof that ‘the problem
of access for minority students has not been
solved.”

Foldy specializes in musical communications

By Mark Kobrinsky
STAFF WRITER

If you lobk at John Foldy, he
appears to be “‘just an ordinary
guy.’’ However, his. ac-
complishments are many, and his
attitude about life is far from
ordinary.

Foldy is
originally from
Burnt Hills,
New York, and
has been atten-
ding SUNY
Albany for the past ten years.
While attending SUNYA as an
undergraduate, Foldy studied
business and communications,
and as a graduate student received
a master’s degree in communica-
tions. Foldy is presently pursuing
a PhD. in Communications and
Sociology.

For the past three years, Foldy
has been researching and for-
mulating the ‘Harmonics
Theory” with Donald Cushman
and Joseph Woelfel, two promi-
nent professors in SUNYA’s com-
munications department.

According to Foldy, “This
theory fringes on communica-
tions, but it is on the border of
bio-physics and energy systems.
He further explained that the
theory “focuses on the relation-
ship between thoughts and
events. I'm suggesting for my
dissertation that there is a
phenomenon in nature called
rhythm entertainment.”

Foldy continued, “I'm trying
to address things from a com-
munications and physics view-
point in. order to develop a
framework that will address the
issues of the nature of ‘con-
sciousness, principles of physical
evolution, responses for actions,
and the existence of para-normal
phenomenons.”” This theory has
not been proven, however Foldy
is hopeful and determined.

Foldy won a grant to present
this theory in Hawaii. “After
presenting the theory, one of the
scholars at the conference walked
up to one of our faculty members
and asked ‘Is this guy serious?”
Foldy said he doesn’t expect
everyone to agree with the theory,
however, he presented it to almost

anew approach to running a cam-
paign. This allows a person to get
exposure to a different group of
people.

“Putting posters in classrooms
will only result in more-campaign
cheating,” said Council member
Mike Brocci. He said he believed
it would be hard to determine the
number of posters put up by each
candidate, and impossible to stop
people from ripping them down
at night.

“Can't we give some board
space for academics? 1 don't
think this will hurt the candidates
that much,"* said Russo.

“If one candidate puts them up
then the others must in order to
compete and there are just too
many classrooms,’’ said
Academic Affairs Chair Mike
Miller.

According to Russo, Internal
Affairs spent a lot of time and
energy into bringing the Election
Regulation Act before the coun-
cil. “It is a good policy and it will
run good elections," he said.
Many hours were spent in coming
to an agreement, but Russo con-
cluded that he was glad “we

every department at SUNYA and
said “‘the response has been quite
positive."?

His theory has also reached the
hands of Governor Mario
Cuomo. Foldy said, “I sent
Governor Cuomo a copy of my

album ‘Ronald Reggae,” and
told him a little about the har-
monics theory. He wrote back
and asked to read it. I immediate-
ly sent him a cop;

Cuomo’s response to the
theory was “‘very flattering.” The
governor wrote, ‘I admire the
conclusion of your thesis that
there is an ultimate justice in the
universe, but it may take people
some ime to fully appreciate the
elegance. of the harmonic
approach.”

Besides researching his theory,
Foldy plays lead guitar and sings
with three different bands. The
Rob and John and Ed band plays
mainly acoustic rock. They can be
seen at the Lark Tavern, and they
have participated in Telethon
twice.

The band also recorded an
album entitled ‘Ronald Reag-
gac."” This was an extended play
(EP) album with four songs on it.

Foldy cheerfully added that “‘a
national distributor has picked it
{the album] up, and the local
critical reviews are very strong. It
was the most exciting thing I’ve
ever done.”* The band is presently
recording another album.

Foldy is also a member of the
Lost Art band, which plays its
progressive rock music in clubs in
Rensselear. They have recorded
six songs in a recording studio,
and their first review said the
band was a ‘‘cross bewteen Frank
Zappa and Herman's Hermitts.
with a psychodelic edge." Foldy
considered this very encouraging.

The. third band consists of
Joseph Woelfel, and his sons.
This band is predominantly pro-
gressive rock.

Music has influenced Foldy’s
life immensely. He even managed
to fuse the harmonics theory and
music together. The theory came
about, he said, because it seem-

ed feasible. to, look at com-
municatons .or interaction the
same way musical. notes
interact.”

The academic side of Foldy
ranges from researcher to instruc-
tor. He has taught interpersonal
communication for the past three
years,. and is now also teaching
group communication. He said he
considers teaching “a lot of fun,””
aud enjoys interacting with his
students,

It may seem like such a busy
schedule would leave no time for
a social life, however, Foldy said,
“T have.a surprising amount of
‘Spare time yself."’ He has a
very optimistic outlook on life,
explainng, ‘I don't consider
anything I do work, The way 1
look at it, I'm getting paid to

When asked to describe
himself, Foldy replied, ‘I am so-
‘meone who is genuinely happy.”

described as inviting to Republicans.
For over sixty years the city has been
controlled by a Democratic machine,
and today the tradition continues,

So much so, in fact, that the
Republican challenger to Mayor
‘Thomas Whalen says outright that he's
running not to win but to keep the idea
of a two-party system alive,

Louis Russo, who won the chance to
oppose Whalen only over the objections
of the Albany County Republican
leadership, has spent about $350 on his
campaign, as opposed to Whalen's
$80,000.

And Russo further jeapordized his
standing when he told a reporter that
Albany's low-income housing projects
ought to be blown up. He later insisted
he'd only meant to say the projects were
the wrong environment to raise a family
in,

But on the issue that probably more
directly concerns students than any
other, Russo is sending a clear message.

“I can't understand this city ad-
ministration, where are the young peo-
ple going to go?" he asked, referring to
the Whalen administration's aggressive
pursual of the Grouper Law.

The law forbids more than three
unrelated people to live together in the
same apartment or house,

Russo said the solution to Albany's
housing crunch and downtown over-
crowding problems is to get more state
funds to build dormitories at SUNYA.
“The state administration is the pro-
blem,”” he said, adding “The city should
let things rest."”

Fewer students is not the answer, said
Russo. “I don't think they should cut
down on enrollment." Instead, he sug-
gested the state could set up emergency
housing facilities on campus, such as
trailers used to house natural disister
victims.

Russo avoided outright criticism of
Whalen’s redevelopment push in
downtown Albany, but did say, **A lot
of this was already on the books, and

already moving under Mayor
Corning.

“The local machine is working on
Pearl Street," said Russo, explaining
that he believed attention should be
focused on the Central Avenue shopp-
ing district. Putting money into the
older homes and brownstone districts in
Albany is, said Russo, “like putting
lipstick on an old prostitute.

Uptown campus Board of Alders candidates

Editor’s note: For most of the off-campus
and Alumni Quad districts where students
are concentrated there is only one person
running for the Board of Alders, the city’s
major legislative body. However, in the
Fifteenth Ward, which includes the up-
town campus with the greatest concentra-
tion of students, incumbent Nicholas Col-
uccio is being challenged by Richard Bar-
ett. What follows is a quick summary of
interviews held with each candidate or his
supporters,

Richard Barrett

Barrett, who is running on the
Republican ticket in Democratic Albany,
was not available for comment. However,
according to Students for Barrett Cam-
paign Organizer Kim Mulvihill, Barrett
favors changes in Albany's Grouper Law
and is concerned with conservation efforts
to save Albany's most fragile ecosystem,
the Pinebush.

Mulvihill said Barrett feels the Grouper
Law is unfair to students because of its ar-
bitrariness, and that rather than protecting
students from unsafe housing conditions,
it forces them to break city law.

“He either wants the Grouper Law
repealed or he wants it changed to a law
that helps the students,”” she said.

“As far as Nick Colucci
Mulvihill, ‘nothing's being done’ to
spare students from the results of the law's
enforcement,

Barrett has been endorsed by the “Save
the Pinebush’* Organization in recognition
of his committment to their cause,
Mulvihill said, “We don't want Albany

Nicholas Coluccio

Running for his third term to Albany's
Board of Alders, Coluccio thinks he has a
strong record of working with students in
his district, and he's willing to reach across
the years to illustrate his points.

Coluccio pointed to this fall’s polling
place issue, in which, he said, he sponsored
a resolution moving the polling place to
the Thruway House after SA officials in-
formed him of the safety issues involved if
the polling place was left several miles up
Washington Avenue at a nursing home.

“1 worked very closely with the
students,"" he said, adding, ‘they have a
right to vote where they live and this where
they live.””

“Anything they (students) come to me
for I will be there for them," promised
Coluccio, mentioning the Party in the
Park issue of a few years ago, when he said
he was the only Alder out of 15 to argue an
alcohol permit which had been revoked
should be reissued. The case was settled
after SA went to court and won,

He said he sees part of his role as a con-
flict mediator between the city administra-
tion and students, which he estimated are
2,500 of his 6,000 constituents,

As for Albany's Grouper Law, Coluccio
said, ‘There's pros and cons to
he said he was concerned that students
were paying high rents and receiving little
for their money, “we want to keep the
landlords in compliance with the city

Mayoral race:

Thomas Whalen
Democrat
By James F. O'Sullivan
news EDITOR

(WITH WIRE SERVICES REPORT)

When Erastus Corning II died in 1983,
after a 41-year tenure as mayor of
Albany, some felt successor Thomas
Whalen would be little more than a
caretaker.

Since then, Whalen has solidified his
hold on city government, kept potential
Democratic rivals at bay and finds
himself waging his first mayoral race
against Lou‘ Russo, the Republican
challenger who states he has no chance
of winning.

Whalen began making his mark in
Corning’s last year, which for Corning
was limited mostly to hospital beds. The
mayor-designate began , introducing
modern management techniques to
replace an old-boy network which had
run the city since the forties and earlier.

“To some of the older party func-
tionaries, 1 appeared like a revolu-
tionary,” Whalen said, “I think a lot of
people viewed me as a caretaker mayor
and I chose.not to be."*

Although Whalen has stated he does
not want to be a long-term mayor, he
doés plan on winning this election. So
far, his campaign has spent an estimated
$80,000 on the practically uncontested
race,

And next year the city celebrates its
tricentennial at a time when the city's
‘once blighted downtown area is making
a comeback.

Whalen, however, has more than
once found himself under fire from stu-
dent leaders at SUNYA. He and former
Student Association President Rich
Schaffer had a running name-calling
battle in the media in 1983, and Whalen
was an outspoken foe against allowing
students to vote in their college
communities.

Today, Whalen is perhaps best known
among students for his redredging up of
Albany’s Grouper Law, and for his
subordinate, Code Enforcement Direc-
tor Michael Alvaro’s vigorous move to
enforce the law which prohibits more
than three unrelated people over the age
of 18 from living in the same, housing
unit,

The sparks, however, have not ignited
as SA leaders have made a conscious at-
tempt to improve community-student
relations, through trash collection drives
and other neighborhood oriented
projects

In fact, Whalen is expected to be the
big pull at SUNYA’s ‘Meet the Can-
didates Night’ this Sunday evening in
the Campus Center Ballroom,

Campus legend

Kennedy tells of

writer’s block, journalism career

By Karen E. Beck
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Three years ago, he taught as a SUNYA
English professor. Now, having won a
Pulitzer Prize and McArthur Foundation
Grant, William Kennedy has become a
campus legend.

‘Now that things have settled down a bit,
it has become easier to get to know Ken-
nedy, who fielded questions from par-
ticipants in a writing workshop held in the
Performing Arts. Center Recital Hall,
Wednesday. :

Kennedy won the Pulitzer Prize for
literature in 1982 for his novel Ironweed,
which was published after being rejected
13 times by other publishing houses. The
novel was published as a series which also
includes Billy Phelan’s Greatest Game and
Legs, all of which describe historical
ALbany and its people.

Gene Garver, chair of SUNYA’s English
Department, introduced Kennedy by call-
ing him “the literary laureate of this city
and of this university.” Kennedy opened
the discussion by reciting the first two
paragraphs of his latest work Quinn’s
Book, which he has been writing on and
off since 1977. Kennedy chided himself by
saying he was ‘‘far too ambitious at the
beginning of this project.””

“One must not be too timid about
writing a book,” he said, ‘but a writer
must also become aware of his own
limitations.

Wednesday's forum was ‘ta discussion
of craft and creation,” said Kennedy, who
spoke about the various aspects of writing
a novel, includi
“Mental blocks,” said Kennedy, “usually
‘occur when you haven't paid sufficient at-
tention to the material. You can overload
your imagination and inventiveness,”*

“If you write something and it just lays
there like an egg, you either rewrite it or
you abandon it altogether,"” he said, “If it
hatches, then you have a chicken, or

problems of style.

possibly a turkey,”” he added to laughter.

Kennedy, who worked as a journalist
before going into teaching, said ‘Jour-
nalism allowed me to get into any situation
I wanted to get into. For awhile, it was the
only way I could stay alive — I could make
a living without getting bored,”” he said.

“Journalism also gave me @ chance to
work with the language everyday,” he
said, ‘Journalism is very good training
ground for writers,”’ said Kennedy, ex-
plaining, ‘‘There are editors who can teach
you how to write.

“Fiction,” said Kennedy, ‘‘is somewhat
of a spontaneous desire to create. Then
you hope for the best. There’s also strong
subliminal motivation on the part of the
writers to reconstruct reality into a world
which is more suitable for them.””

Most of Kennedy's writings deal with
Albany in the 19th Century, ‘‘Albany Was
@ great town at the turn of the century,”
said Kennedy. ‘I'm trying t6 be as faithful
as I can to an extraordinary city.”

“The past is-what'makes my imagina-
tion run,” he said, adding that ‘I think it
interests me because I already know how it
came out."”*

Having taught writing courses for
several years, Kennedy is familiar with the
growth process that is necessary for all
young writers to experience. ‘Their
goodness comes from their decision to
stick with writing and keep writing until
their talent emerges,” he said,

“The mythological element was
something put into the books after I relaiz-
ed that imitation journalism just wasn’t

said Kennedy, “There is a need
to break conventional reality,’ he said,
adding ‘reality must,be defined by its own
terms. You need a sense of the space you
are writing about. You need to make the
reader believe that they are in a real place
with real people and then it is possible to
convey real emotion."* fs)

I’m for

Our country was founded on the theory of
government by the people. It operates, in
practice, on government by the voters.

The above sticker illustrates the point
perfectly: it's not just a matter of what your

what matters is that you back your

w by participating in the policymaking
process, by voting once a year.

The sticker could just as appropriately read
“[’m opposed to the Grouper Law and I vote”,
or “I support women’s rights and I vote", or
“I'm in favor of Pine Bush conservation and I
vote.’”

If most of us vote this Tuesday, the city will
be forced to further recognize our power as a
voting constituency.

Voting may be a private, quiet process
between you and the machine, but you can’t
find a way to speak more loudly for yourself as
a student and as a citizen.

‘Minor’ problems

Albany bar owners will find themselves turning
three-quarters of their customers away at the door
next semester, when the 21-year old drinking age
goes into effect.

They don’t have to, But with one exception, the
main student bars all say they will anyway; they
believe it’s easier to keep minors out than to patrol
them once they're in.

It may very well be easier, but taking into
account the number of students who will still be
able to drink legally, it’s highly unlikely that this
small group of students will be able to support all
the bars in Albany, even if this select group does
include some of this campus’ heartiest drinkers.

‘There are alternatives to completely excluding
all minors, such as the one WT’s has planned.
Customers aged 21 or older will be given
wristbands ut the door. Only those with
wristbands will be served any alcoholic beverages.

‘The other major bar owners have dismissed this
idea as “totally unenforceable” or unfeasible, As
one bar owner put it, ‘What is the attraction to
any tavern where you can’t drink?"

‘As a business owner, he should understand that
a tavern is much more than a place to drink
alcohol. It's a gathering area, a place to catch up
with your friends and make some new ones, and to
discuss some news and gossip of the day. When
the Oxford debaters came to Albany, they did a
lot of their preparing through informal talk at
WT's,

For many SUNYA students, although
admittedly not all, it’s this social aspect of the bars
that they'll miss the most, not the alcohol. Bar
owners who don't recognize this, could be making
a costly error,

‘The bar owners who dismissed the wristband
alternative as “totally unenforceable” may also
have made a mistake. It's probably less expensive
to hire an extra bouncer to enforce the wristband
policy on busy nights than it is to risk turning
away 75 percent of their customers before they get
in the door. A few customers will probably be
turned off by the policy, but not nearly as many as
it’s likely to attract. It's been proven feasible in
other cities,

In addition to the wristband policy, bar owners
could also expand their menus, add a dance floor,
concoct a few interesting non-alcoholic beverages,
or bring in some local band

The new drinking age will put every bar owner's
business skills to a test. Only those who are
flexible enough to make creative adjustments are
likely to get by without losses. So far, WT's is the
only bar to demonstrate this ability, despite their

“Election Day, Election Day wherefore art thou, election
day.”
— Bill Shakespeare

Here it is the first of November with another election
day right around the corner. I'm sure most of you know
that it is November Sth, right? Well, anyway, our
glorious country has instituted that elections be held on
the first Tuesday of every November, this way we can all
have another day out of the year with no mail or govern-
ment services.

Larry Hartman

By Tuesday we should all be starting to come down
from our post-Halloween hangovers, and I'd like to en-
courage everyone to make that long laborious trip down
to your polling area to cast your sacred vote. There’s no
doubt in my mind that all of you have planned to do so
already, so 1 think I'll let this column take on a bit of a
different flavor.

Through the years many famous (and not so famous)
people have made statements with regards to the whole
electoral process and I'd just like to share them with you:

““A sucker is born every minute”*
— Stated by Phineas T. Barnum when a circus clown of
got elected to the post of governor of New Jersey.

“Don't get the idea that I'm one of these goddamn

radicals. Don't get the idea I'm knockig the American

System. . . My rackets are run strictly on American lines
and they're going to stay that way."

— Al Capone when asked if he were thinking about join-

ing the communist party,

“. . . Heroine in every classroom”
lel Castro in a famous speech after his takeover of
Cuba,

“Freedom is not worth loving if it does not connote
freedom to err"
— Ghandi after admitting he voted for Ronald Reagan.

“1 think the American Public wants a Solemn Ass as
President, And 1 think I'll go along with them."
— Calvin Coolidge (need | say more)

“How can one conceive of a one party system in a coun-
try that has over 200 varieties of cheese.
— Charles De Gualle imparting his political wisdom,
“Tnever met a man I didn’t like”
— Will Rogers testifying before a Senate subcommittee as
to why he voted for every single candidte,

“Vote early and often"
— Steve Gawley's campaign strategy for the 1985 Student
Association President elections.

“1 have not yet begun to vote.’*

— This final quote is rumored to be stated by New York
City’s old Tammany Hall Political Boss, William Marcy
Tweed, but I could not find any supporting evidence.

Election day comes but once a year and it’s everyone’s
right and duty as a citizen of the United States to get out
an dvote. I really don’t think one half hour of your time is
too much to ask for, for a task of this magnitude.

It is our system of accountability on the part of our
elected official and'a way to keep them in line with our
goals, ideals, and values. It’s our method of preventing
and guarding against the evils of dictatorship and one by
which all people can be heard. It is a time to get out to the
polls and vote your conscience on the pressing issues of
the day, and it's the fateful day of reckoning that burns
deep within the heart of every politician.

It is the chance for us as students to vote as a united
block and send out a message to our illustrious leaders
that they can no longer ‘pull the wool over our eyes.”

Voting is what gives us legitimate reasons to work on
the issues we care about as students and concerned
citizens, and our representatives must listen. If they
don’t, through our power at the polls we'll make sure that
they're not our representatives the next time around.

“A voter without a ballot is like a soldier without a
bullet.
— Dwight Eisenhower

““A state has no worse foe than a tyrant under whom can

be no common laws; but one ruler, keeping the law in his
‘own hands so equality perishes.

— Euripides

“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rules
of people alone. The people themselves are therefore its
only safe depositories.”

— Thomas Jefferson

“The voice of dissent must be heard’*
— Henry Ford

“The basis of our political systems is the right of the peo-

ple to make and to alter their constitutions of
government.

— George Washington

Our right to vote is one to be cherished and held in high
esteem, Even as we speak there are many nations still
shrouded in tyranny and dictatorship. We should prize
our freedoms and not ignore them or take them for
granted. For it was in such a context where one of the
most evil abominations of all mankind’s history was
allowed to take place.

“Ideas such as Democracy, . . disintegrate our race con-
sciousness, and breed cowardice,"”

— Adolf Hitler a

To the Editor:

Ironically enough, I am happy to find in the October 22
issue of the ASP Akbar Anwari’s response to my October
15 article on homophobia. His letter is an enlightening
example of the topic I was discussing. Unfortunately, it is
distressing to see how explicitly and publicly offensive
people can be. However, it is a dose of reality.

The point of my article was to argue that there are more
similarities than differences between and among groups
of people. I asked that people reconsider those biases
against other people that are based upon generalizations
that might be ill-informed. To Mr. Anwari I have to point
out that I did not ‘‘regret” to include anything in my arti-
cle. I could not write about the causes of homosexuality
since there is no known cause. However, it would be in-
terestint to question why Mr. Anwari considers himself
an authority on homosexuality. After all, he espouses two
“theories” on its orgins, both of which are new to me and
1am a lesbian,

By picking out three groups of people to discriminate
against, Mr. Anwari exemplifies a viewpoint opposite to
my “people are people” sentiment. His letter implies not
only that people who enjoy the punk or hardcore scenes
may not deserve social acceptance because of their lack of
conformity, but that perhaps handicapped people should
be looked upon as defective. His implied characterization
of Greek males is also offensive as a negative and unfair
stereotype. I fail to see any positive value in
discriminating against any group of people in these w
Rather I consider these prejudices destructive. This,
thank you Mr. Anwari, is precisely the point of my-
article.

Let me also inform Mr. Anwari that there is no reason
for me to ignore the fact that male homosexuals can use
condoms to help prevent the transmission of diseases,
though it should be clear that they are probably not
generally used for birth control. However, I ask Mr. An-
wari not to ignore the fact that condoms perform the
same function in prevention of disease transmission for
heterosexual couples. See, here again we find yet another
commonality between heterosexual and homosexualpeo-

ple, thanks to Mr. Anwari.

Mr. Anwari states, ‘If it wasn’t for heterosexuals,
homosexuality could not exist.”* To this I can only ask, if
itis the fault of heterosexual people that gay people exist,
then doesn’t this issue boil down to a heterosexual peo-
ple’s problem? Well, as I stated in my article,
homophobia — the entity that Mr. Anwari so clearly ex-
emplifies for us — is everyone's problem, for everyone
Bay oF not to unite to eliminate.

Again, I thank that writer for displaying prejudice in
all its glory and destructiveness and for offering me the
opportunity to publicly oppose it again.

Peace effort

To the Editor:

Continuing the nuclear arms race threatens our na-
tional security, our economic well-being, and the success
of the Geneva arms talks. The American people must in-
sist that the President and Congress initiate actions
leading to an immediate, verifiable Soviet-American halt
on the testing and deployment of new nuclear weapons
while negotiations proceed.

The Peace Project and the Upper Hudson Nuclear
Weapons Freeze Campaign are conducting a petition
drive in the Capital District and on campus. Itis part of a
national effort to collect one million signatures to send to
President Reagan, General Secretary Gorbachev, and
Congress before the Summit meeting on November 19th
and 20th. The petition asks for a halt to the nuclear arms
race and reductions in nuclear arsenals on both sides,

More than three out of four Americans support a
mutual, verifiable freeze. Last year eighty-five percent of
the students on campus voted in favor of a referendum
that supported a nuclear freeze. We encourage you to raf-
firm your support by signing the petition,

The Peace Project will be tabling and petitioning in the
Campus Center on Wed. Nov.6th and Thurs. Nov. 7th.
We will be petitioning in the dorms on Mon. Nov.4th,
Tues. Nov. Sth and Sun. Nov. 10th. Anyone who would
like to work on the petition drive can call Bob at 442-6186
or Laura at 399-8996,

Our national security must not be left up to the politi-
cians or the ‘‘experts."” We must ask President Reagan to
propose an immediate halt directly to the Soviet Union,
We also must ask Congress to pass the comprehensive
freeze legislation which would suspend funding on major
nuclear weapons programs for as long as the Soviets do
the same.

‘Then we must hold the politicians accountable, If Con-
gress doesn't represent the will of the people this year, in
1986 we must elect Senators and Representatives who
will.

Only by continuing to work together can we help pre-
vent a nuclear holocaust!

break of mockeries and put-downs towards Albany's
fraternites, this time regarding Greek Week, shouldn't go
unchecked. Laughing at fraternities and brotherhood
seems odd coming from Steven Gawley who spoke so
highly of them during election time.How quickly we
forget. Whenever SA needs people at events it is always
the fraternities that are called upon. Don’t bite the hand
that feeds you. Together we form a huge student bloc that
doesn't like being stabbed in the back. We are not depen-
dent on you and only cooperate because we choose to.
More and more of your constituents are becoming involv-
ed in Greek life, It seems only fair to expect a positive at-
titude from their president,

Eye on Council

To the Editor:

1 did something last Wednesday night that 1 hadn't
done in over three years— I went to a Central Counci
meeting, Most of us at SUNYA don't know what Central
Council is, and frankly don’t care. The four years we
spend here go by quickly (in my case, four and a half),
and we leave with the pleasant memories of friends,
Mayfest and Fountain Day. Central Coucil members
leave with ulcers, inflated egos and laryngitis.

‘Well, it was last Wednesday night (Dynasty was over)
when I was tipped off to the fact that Central Coucil was
bringing up the Election Policy. I was a Council member
back in the 1981-1982 term that passed the policy they
were now planning to amend, I figured,"*What the hell,
Jet me go down and sce what they are going to do to it.”

Let me tell you that Jon Suydan (ex-Council chair
1981-1982)would be spinning around in his law office of
he heard what they were up to. They were (I left before

the fireworks ended, at about 12:30 am— the meeting
started at 7pm) planning to use Student Association Tax
fee monies to reimburse Presidential and  Vice-
Presidential SA candidates for a portion of their election
expenses. My jaw hit the ground. How in the world can
they justify spending our Activity Fee money like this?
Kind of ridiculous, don’t you think?

Well, when I was “‘on Council’ we loved to spend
money (we had a half million dollar surplus). We bought
the Xerox machine that SA now uses, the defunct SA
sound system, an ambulance for Five Quad, (if Woody
Popper is around to read this, we threw in the extra bucks
for that Xerox machine stapler), raised SA-worker
salaries to minimum wage, and even gave Rita Levine, the
office manager, a raise. How in the world can this new
Council even think about giving up to $150.00 to so-
meone who is running for an SA executive office without
asking us, the students who will have to pay for it. Crazy.

‘Times sure change. ‘We’? used to vote on banning seal
killing, nuclear disarmament, and why or why not cam-
paign buttons were allowed in the SA office. Council of
81-82, where are you when this school needs you?

Reader rebuttal

tion varies as a function of geographical proximity to a
cultural center such as New York City never ceases to
amaze me. According to Michelle Krell (‘*Agitpop: A
New York Band?""; ASP, October 29), this equation
holds true; the further one lives from N.Y.C., the less
culturally sophisticated one is, A resident of Poughkeep-
sie, a full one hundred miles or so from N.Y,C., is thus
hopelessly deprived (and quite possibly depraved), accor-
ding to Michelle. While 1 do not doubt the cultural
sophistication of Michelle and many other New Yorkers
{assuming that she does live in the greater N.Y.C.
‘metropolitan area), 1 do doubt that it is solely a function
of their geographical proximity to N.Y.C. since I have
‘met many N.Y.C. residents whom I saw as walking excep-
tions to the equation even as they loudly proclaimed their
superiority to anyone who would listen. I have to object
to the constant presence of this kind of assumption,
Unfortunately, my entire argument collapses when I
admit, as I must, that her condemning description of
Poughkeepsie was accurate,

Shabbat services

To the Editor:

How many times have you gone to Shabbatservices and
felt left out? How many times did you not know the page
number? How many times did you feel uncomfortable
because you don’t understand Hebrew and you were em-
barrassed to read the English? The truth is that at one
time or another all of us have felt like strangers even in
‘our own congregation.

Through Chavurah, we are offering you a chance to get
rid of this problem. Our Shabbat services are conducted
in both Hebrew and English. We try to maintain a lively
and active atmosphere through the use of both song and
modern English translations, Our goal is to create a
healthy atmosphere where both men and women are
equally counted.

Now that I have told you about Chavurah, let me tell
you what your role is. If you are a writer we need your
work; if you are a musician we need your ideas; and if
you are an artist we need your ability. You and your in-
put will help make our experience more meaningful. Now
is the time to act!

Shabbat service — Friday November 8 at 6 p.m. in CC

MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR

Before I begin with the theme of this week’s col-
umn, I would like to introduce myself to you, the
reader, Iam E. Paul Stewart, the New Minority Af-
fairs Editor of the Albany Student Press. I have
been involved in a number of activities here on this
campus, among which are he Aa ‘State Univer-
sity Black Alliance and
Council. I feel fortunate fort ‘his Beyond
opportunity to voice minority Thi
concerns and encourage minority 1N@
Majority

awareness on this campus.

‘There are a great many pro-
blems which face Blacks and Hispanics in this coun-
try and here on this campus. Among these are dif-
ficulty in obtaining an education (which will be
discussed in a future column), poor/bad media
representation, unemployment, and countless other
socio-economic problems. There is one major pro-
blem, though, which is not often dealt with. That
problem is sensitivity.

Too often, too many people claim they ‘“‘unders-
tand” the problems that minorities experience,
“know what it must be like,"” and claim they are
sensitive to the needs of and have the answers for
blacks and Hispanics in America. As a member of
an ethnic minority, I find many of the people dis-
dainful, to say the least.

There are people who do seemingly empathize
with minority concerns and who are sincere in their
desire to help these people and I applaud. But those
others who are merely professors of sensitivity, 1
can only express my sincere desire that your words
can someday be made manifest into positive ac-
tions, such as listening and active support.

And there are several professors at SUNYA who
are ‘‘self-proclaimed liberals,”” They insist that they
are concerned and show this by “talking down"? to
minority students and making many assupmtions
about particular students’ backgrounds on the basis
of their race, creed, or color,

‘These assumptions are often based on stereotypes
depicted in the poor media image that has been
created to portray Blacks and Hispanics. Many pro-
fessors assume that all minorities come from
broken homes, are on welfare, play basketball and
need remedial work in every subject. A student
friend of mine recently complained to me of a pro
blem that he is currently experiencing with a
professor.

‘The professor insists that he has an lnderstan-
ding of Blacks and uses this student as an example
(subjecting the student to ridicule and humiliation).
The professor constantly names sports figures and
enterainers such as Michael Jackson to give the im-
pression that he is ‘tin tune’ with Black America.

This professor has conveyed messages to my
friend to suggest that as a student who is black, my
friend is automatically inferior. He always refers to
his teaching experience in the sum area of a major
U.S. city and dictates what image blacks must fit to
reach his idea of ‘their place in society.’ Even if he

Self-named liberals insincere in
eradicating minority stereotypes

possesses a modicum of sincerity in his feelings
toward the black community,he loses all credibility
in his approach,

Minority students are aware of the problems in
their communities and their problems of broken
homes, etc., do exist, but we do not all as in-
dividuals suffer precisely the same plight. It is our
ethnic heritage that makes us alike, it is the societal
chains that bind us,

“Tt is our ethnic
heritage that makes us

alike, it is the societal

chains that bind us.”’

‘Our individual personal dilemmas may be similar
in some cases, but those are not our only restraining
afflictions. There are solutions but they will come
from within our community, they can’t be dictated
from outside, Sincere, earnestly concerned people
are appreciated and welcomed, it is the self pro-
claimers we are weary of,

Only the minority can know to the fullest extent
the struggle for life at a predominantly white school
in a predominantly white country.

Black Solldarity Day

On Monday, November 4, 1985, Albany State
University Black Alliance (ASUBA) will be once
again hosting its annual Black Solidarity Day.

Black Solidarity is a national event for Black
‘Americans to come together and demonstrate their
support for their communities. On this day, non-
minority owned businesses are boycotted as a
demonstration of the economic power which stems
from the black community,

‘There ia a list of events planned for the day,
which begins at 11 a.m, in the Campus Center
Ballroom and runs until 9 p.m. For further infor-
mation call ASUBA at 442-5678,

It is important that Black students participate in
this even in order to learn more about what's hap-
pening with Black people in other schools (there
will be visiting students) and throughout the world.
It is also imperative that non-Black students make
‘an attempt to sensitize themselves to the Black ex-
perience in America and more precisely the Black
students here on this campus.

Black Solidarity Day is a learning experience for
all students and an opportunity that should not be
missed. We shall all leave this campus eventually,
let’s leave with a better understanding of each
other. a

Over 900 students attend SUNYA Pre-Law Fair

By Evan Weissman
STAFE WRITER

Over 900 students and about 30
law schools participated in Law
Fair Day Wednesday, prompting
Neil Garfinkel, President of
SUNYA's Pre-Law Association
to term the event a “great
success,"

The fair, which was held in the
Campus Center Ballroom, drew
its largest turnout ever, Garfinkel
said.

According to Marion Rothbart,
admissions counselor at the
Delaware Law School of Widener
University, law schools par-
ticipate at fairs like this "to ex-
pose ourselves to others outside
‘of our immediate geographical
area.”*

‘As to what they learn about
SUNYA students, Rothbart
replied, “We learn a little bit
about the majors and the
geography of the students."
However, no stereotype is placed
on SUNYA students from their
appearance at the fair, she added

Law Schools, like New York
University School of Law and St,
John’s University School of Law,
agree that undergraduates may
major in any of a variety of areas
if they wish to pursue a career in
law.

“Students should be well-
rounded," said Rothbart, but
should not look for the easy A.
“Law School sprefer to see an A
in a tougher and more rigorous
course like Chemistry or another
science over an easy A course.”

Law Fair Day gave those school
shtat are not well known an op-
portunity to expose themselves to
students, said Bill Murphy, Vice

President of the Pre-Law Asocia-
tion, ‘It is a chance [for students}
to view the various schools,”” and
to begin looking for the schools
they will want to apply to, Mur-
phy said.

When commenting about the
fair, Danny Hume, a SUNYA
student interested in law, said that

also listed several examples of
possible events that would not in-
volve alcohol. “All quads tradi-
tionally do a play of some sort,”
mirti said. ‘Indian Quad is
planning to perform a second
play, The Odd Couple,” he
added.

Smirti_ mentioned a midnight
bus trip to feast on Chinese Food
in Manhattan, a Chippendale
night in the CC Ballroom and a
night skiing trip to Vermont as
other possible activities.

Smirti said that Indian Quad
has started a cultural awareness
program. There was an Interna-
tional film festival on Wednes-
day, October 30. “Other events
that are being considered as part
of the cultural awareness program
are a belly dancing demonstration
or lesson and bus trips to ethnic
neighborhoods to sample the
food,” Smirti said,

“The change in the drinking
age will change things for some
students who only relax by having
a few drinks. Other people adapt
more easily." The change “may
force us to come up with better
and more creative ideas," said
Smit

Smirti noted that parties
haven't been very successful dur-

“all information one hears isn’t
always accurate, You learn about
the many schools, see what to
shoot for, and [investigate] what
programs to take.””

The fair allows students to
discover what schools are looking
for in prospective applicants and
to set their goals accordingly.

ing this semester. He cited a party
on Indian which attracted 75
students, one on Dutch which was
attended by 15 and a Colonial
Quad party of 23. “There is a
general trend of students moving
away from alcohol and drink-
ing,” Smirti said,

is an overemphasis on alcohol as

election day that SUNYA has
such a high turnout,"* he said.

During last year’s registration,
the New York Public Interest
Research group (NYPIRG), was
responsible for registering over
2,000 students, but this year
NYPIRG considered voter
registration “barely a priority,”
said Hartman.

According to Stacey Young,
Project Coordinator of NYPIRG
at SUNYA, voter registration was
not given top priority by
NYPIRG’s State Board of Direc-
tors. This group, all students,
determines the issues that the
organiztion'works on, as a whole,

Martone also noted that
students are more conscious of
“wellness” now than in the past.
He said that an alcohol awareness
program exists to educate
students about alcohol ‘not from

point but from one of healt

“We live in a mass society and
this is a method of getting one’s
point across," he said,

“Unfortunately, these people
{the protesters] could be doing
their jobs instead of marching,
but if we, as professionals, are go-
ing to be treated as simply labor

“After we get over the initial
hump of it being 21, we'll see that
we can still have a very good time

pend on alcohol to do it,”
predicted Martone.

Smirti said, “things may help

professor of Political Science and
a UUP member, both said that
students have a large stake in the
negotiations, largely in insuring
that the quality of academic in-
struction continues.

“Students are a very powerful
lobbying group as well,”” said
Taylor.

“We hope that students would
begin by writing letters to their
legislators and the governor,”
said Miroff. “We need that kind
of pressure."”

J.B.’s Theatre, formerly ‘Wheels

Shopping Plaza, will sign up bands

Bill Caloccia, chair of the RPI concert

Caloccia said, “ever since J.B.'s opened

“They seem to be good shows.”*

get for this spring, Seligson said, “I'm

business.””

know ABC and Simple Minds will
be touring this spring,” said Seligson,
“But I don’t know the dates." He add-
ed that “if nothing else comes up, we
won't have another show this fall.
_. “A lot of people ask how we get
‘bands,” Seligson said. ‘I work through
middle agents and get a list of the bands’
availabilities,"" he explained. ‘There are
bands available of every kind.”*

UCB holds general meetings open to
the public every Monday night at 10
p.m. in CC 375, immediately following
the board meetings which begin at 9

p.m, in CC 375. UCB has approximate-
ly 75 members, Seligson said.

Seligson stressed that people should
not complain about the shows UCB puts
on. “If you don’t come down to the
meetings, you don’t have a voice,”” he
said. “We pay our workers with com-
plimentary tickets,” added Seligson.
“This keeps people involved.”

Caloccia, when comparing the con-
cert boards at’ RPI and SUNYA, said
that “there is a big difference between
them."” He added that “‘we depend on
people from the area to go to the shows.
We leave a lot of good seats at the shows
for non-students.

~Caloceia pointed out that UCB when
presenting shows at the Palace Theatre
holds the three center sections on the
floor for SUNYA students, leaving the
remaining two side sections on the floor
open to the public,

UCB also reserves the first’ of three
balconies at the Palace Theatre for
SUNYA students only, Caloccia said,

“41 have seen a reaction from the local
press because of this,” said Caloc
He suggested that the press “won't
cover a show that's all inside SUNYA.”

Caloccia said that at UCB concerts,
non-SUNYA student concert goers
“have less of a chance to get tickets with
their system, and worse, they're paying
through the nose to go.

UCB “gets no locat press because no
‘one will be able to see their shows except
SUNYA students; they won't cover it at
all,” said Callocia,

RPI Concer Board lets RPI students
buy show tickets a day ahead of time,
according to Caloccia. “We leave a lot
of good seats for non-RPI students,"
said Caloccia. When RPI Concert
Board puts on a show at the Palace
Theatre, Caloccia said, “We only pull
one section. This gives the public more
incentive to go,

Dales said, so far this year, RPI has

The concert board at RPI differed
from UCB, Dales said, because of its
small size, This year, it has only 30
members.

“You know everybody you are deal-

‘The Howard Jones concert in October

played for SUNYA's UCB at the Palace

Seligson said the concert boards at
SUNYA and RPI differ in that “they

U.S. colleges adopt strict anti-drinking tactics

Peoria, Illinois

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Police officers
“have come tothe door on a noise com-
plaint, and have just walked in, and
started carding people,” complained Mike
Forman, Interfraternity Council president
at Bradley University. “They don't have
the right to do that without a warrant.’”

They may in fact have the right, and col-
leges across the country are using it more
to keep a much closer eye on students this
fall as the nationwide crackdown on sti+
dent drinking begins its second year.

Some critics fret the crackdown,
however, may scuttle campus “responsible
drinking’ programs, forcing many
students off campus— and into their
cars— to drink in less-controllable, more
dangerous situations,

‘And while observers can’t agree of
tougher regulations and stricter enforce-

4, Ment actually are changing student drink-

ing habits, campuses'switch to more ag-
pres anti-drinking tactics this fall is
beyond question:

— At Indiana University, the dean of
students makes suprise visits to campus
parties (o find underaged drinkers and en-
force a new campus keg policy.

— Yale now effectively prohibits
alcohol at many campus events, and issues
students “drinking cards” to help enforce
the new rules.

— Local police broke up traditional
school-opening parties at West Virginia
and Western Michigan, arresting some 42
students the first week of classes at West
Virginia.

— Pittsburgh police have warned stu-
dent groups they will drop into University
of Pittsburgh parties unannounced to en-
force new drinking age laws.

— University of Florida administrators
made a point of holding a public hearing
into alleged violations of their new dry
rush rules the very first week of school.

— Bradley officials had two students ar-
rested for violating drinking rules during
their first week of classes,too,

Boston University, Southern Cal,
Berkeley, ‘Penn ‘State, San Diego State,
Kentucky and Arizone, among scores of
other campuses,’ have adopted: stricter
rules for student drinking this fall.

At Smith College, for example,
underaged drinkers tio longer can get legal
help from the college. Students can’t have
liquor on dorms at South Dakota: state
schools anymore, while Penn State
restricts the kinds of patties that can have
kegs.

Administrators say they'te responding
to new minimum drinking ages and to the
difficulty of buying liability insurance
without proving they're trying to enforce
the rules.

No one is sure how much the crackdown
is changing student drinking.

“The keg is still the major focus of a
party, but there is a trend toward more
responsible use of alcohol on our cam-
pus,” notes Harold Reynolds, director of
student affairs. at Cal-Berkeley.

“There are some disgruntled views
about the ban on alcohol, but we are living
with it,” says George Kuntz, president of
the Interfraternity and Sorority Council at
Boston University.

“In the past, ten people would work on
the homecoming committee. We has
thirty-five this year, There is a definite in-
crease in participatipn in school events. It
has worked phenominally well,” Kuntz
says of the new alcohol regulations.

“| wouldn’t say consumption has gone
down in our house, but there is more
awareness of the potential abuses of
alcohol,”” said Mike Allen, president of
Delta Tau Delta at the University of
Missouri-Colunbia.

At Yale, ‘there will be fewer large par-
ties,"” predicted Mark Watts, of Yale's

Joint Council of Social Chairmen,

“I expect there will be more coat and tie
parties with more food and also more VCR
rentals,""he added.

And at Texas’s Austin campus, “thete’s

Dane hockey club. opens year at Binghamton

By Lisa Jackel
‘STAFF WRITER

The Albany men’s hockey club will
travel to Binghamton tonight not knowing
what to expect from their opponent. As
this is the first season that the club will be
playing against Division III schools in the
ICHL league, they are unfamiliar with
their competition.

The Danes face more vigorous opposi-
tion than last year against such schools as
Cortland, Siena, and Niagara.

“We never played Binghamton before,
so we don’t know what to expect,” said
club president and center Paul Essner, “If
everyone plays up to their potential — as
expected, we will beat them. We just have
to use our heads and make no mistakes.”

According to Essner, the club possesses
few weaknesses and has gained a more
balanced attack.

This year, the club has a lot of speed,
skill and strength equally distributed
among each line. ‘“Last year, we had a few
superstars, but this year we have a lot of
good players and the talent is equally pro-
portional on each line”? said left wing
Mike Mondiello.

There are many strong skaters “this
season. ‘We'll have six solid people on ice
at all times,” said center Rick Dien, “We
have twenty-two smart hockey players who
all know hockey.””

Due to a city ordinance requesting that
the rink devote more time to the public,
the Danes have only four ice practices
behind them. They had hoped to be on ice
by the beginning of October, but didn’t get
on until the 18h. This lack of ice time
might hurt them as they have eight new
players (six frosh) and could have used the
time to get used to the system, working
together and forming the best possible
combinations among players.

The Danes are optimistic though, as
they are not going to let this effect them.

“We can't avoid playing a game just
because of limited practice,” commented
Essner. ‘Once we start playing and think-
ing nothing but hockey, instinct will take
over and everything will come together.

In addition to stronger players the team
has gained two terrific coaches. Bruce
Pomakoy took over as head coach last
January when Jim Cavanagh left for a job
office in Rockland County.

“Pomakoy didn’t yoice much authority
last year as he was just getting to know us
and wanted to be liked by the team.”
stated Diem, “This year, however, he set
the tone from day one.””

“Pomakoy and his assistant, Ed Rosen,
are well organized and work us hard,” said
goalie Jim Leskody. ‘Knowing they are
fully backed by the players, they voice
their authority and push us to our limit.”

Binghamton is in the same position since
they to don’t know what to expect from
their opponent in this case, Albany. “We
have no expectations for Friday's game as
we've never played Albany," stated
Binghamton coach John Stella. ‘We'll
just have to play it by ear.”

“We've prepared as best as possible
with the limited amount of ice," also
stated Stella. Besides tryouts the Bingham-
ton team has outly had six practices on ice
but which is:still more than Albany's has
had.

Last year was Binghamton's first year in
ICHL: and their record was 5-13. They
competed against western teams such as
Niagafa college, Niagara University, Buf-
fallo State, St. Bonaventure and the
University of Rochester.

Outstanding Binghamton players are
Co-Captains and centers Chris Braglia and
Mike Odonnelo.

“Not only are they strong players, but
they are leaders on ice,” said Stella.
Binghamton has aquired talented transfers
to fill key positions.

Albany submitted its compliance form

eliminating all Albany teams from nation-

the Ithaca tournament may also lessen
their chances.

Albany netmen finish season with 8-2 record

By Rachel Braslow
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT.

All good things must come to
an end, Such is the case for the
Albany State men’s tennis season,

The Danes season ended Oc-
tober 14 on a sour note, Their
record dropped to 8-2 after losing
to powerhouse University of
Vermont.

“Vermont is a better team, we
didn't play real well,
psychologically we weren't into
it," Head Tennis Coach Bob
Lewis said. ‘We were ant
climacti ler the SUNYACs.""

Vermont finished ahead of the
Danes two previous times this
season,

The only other loss for the team
this season was to Army. Lewis

, “1 think that if we'd played
Army later in the season we
would have beaten them."

The lack of practice time early
in the season hurt Albany in that
match, It was Lewis', “only real
disappointment of the season.”

Albany's claim to fame,
without a doubt, was their
seventh straight SUNYAC title,

Freshman Bob Siracuse secured

is spot at sixth singles after win-
ning that flight in the
tournament.

“My final match was really
tough. | lost the first one but won
the next two. It was good com-

third out of a 27 team field in the

ECAC tournament, finishing in
front of rival Rochester, The
third place finish more than pleas-
ed Lewis who didn’t expect the
team to place as high. Two singles
and two doubles victories were
the unexpected factors in. the
third place finish.

At the Great Dane Classic the
Dane's placed fourth in a field of
sixteen teams. They finished
behind Concordia, Rochester and
Vermont in that tournament.

Co-captains Jay Eisenberg and
Tom Schmitz were outstanding
this season, Also playing con-
sistently were David Grossman,
David Zobler, Mike Dermansky
and Siracuse.

It will be a sad September next
year for the netmen without
Seniors Grossman, Schmitz,
Eisenberg, Dermansky and
Gerber, The fearsome five will be
back for their final collegiate
season in the spri

Zobler was definitely the most
improved this season. Zobler
played sixth and seventh during
the 1984 season. This year,
hungrier than ever, he secured the
fourth singles spot.

seen competing outdoors for a
while they can frequently be
found working out at Capitolland
Racquet Club. They may also be

what the situation: will be,”” said
Lewis.
ly the 1984 season was
very similar to this years. The
team supported a 7-2 fall record
and lost to Army and Vermont.
Both seasons the team won the
SUNYACS and placed third at the
ECACs, They bettered their
seventh place finish at the Great
Dane Classic to a fourth place
finish,
“Our’ goal now is to try to
qualify as a team for the NCAAs.
It is an outside chance but we'll
work for it,” said Lewis, He add-
ed, “it's improbable but not

impossible."*

One of the conditions in quali-
fying for the NCAA tournament
is allowing no losses. Because
Albany had too many teams on its
spring schedule a match against
Vermont was dropped.

Albany has a disadvantage
compared to big name tennis
schools such as Cornell and Con-
cord in that they and other
schools have bubbles with indoor
tennis.

Last year Albany sent the
doubles team of Grossman and
Schmitz to. the NCAAs.

she's anywhere near her

Junior Brenda Watson was
named “Outstanding Runner of

called, ‘‘a super race." She shat-
tered her previous season best by
21:05 at the Hartwick meet by
running 19:54 over the Abany

Also coming on strong late in
the season is junior Carol Bart
Bart destroyed her Capit
District meet time 21:27.87 with

20:51 finish Saturday. For that
performance she. was named
“Honorable Mention Runner of
the Meet.”*

The women runners now have
time off until their next compiti-
tion on November 9 when Smith

College will mark the site of the
ECACs. The ECACS should pre-
sent a different challenge to
Albany.

“At Smith we'll face a com-
pletely different team lineup,”
Jacobs said. “It’s really hard to
predict how we'll do there since

Grossman also qualified to play
in the singles competition.

The netmen will not make a
formal debut until the last week in
March. Using money raised with
eyeguard sales, t-shirts and alum-
ni contributions the Danes will
travel to Atlanta, Georgia. While
in Atlanta they will compete
against four local teams.

If practice this winter and com-
petition next spring go well, the
netmen may have a chance at
laying in the NCAAs in Califor-
ia and who knows the SUNYAC
dynasty may turn into NCAA. 0

we haven't seen most of those
teamis yet this season,”

Training tactics until the meet
will stress lots of mental
preparation,

As for the question on
everyone’s mind, will Albany
qualify a team or individual run-
ners for the NCAAS, the answer
is a mystery. If Pettichord, Kur-
thy and Jacobs run strong they
may have individual chances.

The matter of which teams
qualify will “be a matter of who's
the hungriest,”

‘State women’s cross country team with the
home course advantage on their side, plac-

New York State cross country meet last

‘The women runners appear to be mak-

anywhere from second through fifth in
major cross country meets. By the time the
regional qualifier for the NCAA compiti-
tion was held the harriers were ready. They
had reached that desired peak.

Hopefully the 1984 sequence of events
will repeat in 1985. The possibilities are
likely. This season the Danes have placed
respectably in every meet.

Although the team placed fifth Saturday
it was by a narrow margin. Only 13 points
separated the second through fifth place

Terrible,

‘That was the adjective head coach Bob
Schieffelin used to describe his team’s per-
formance in the first round of the Univer-
sity Center Championships last weekend, a
game in which Binghamton blanked the
Albany State men’s soccer team, 6-0.

“We definitely expected that we'd play
better,"” said Schieffelin. “Going into the
tournament we felt as though we had a
‘good chance to win."

The Danes were the fourth-seeded team
of the tournament that included, in addi-
tion to themselves and top-seeded
Binghamton, Buffalo, the eventual win-
ner, and Stony Brook, who defeated the
Danes 4-2 in the consolation round to take
third, Binghamton took second,

‘According to Schieffelin, the game was
over for the Danes only one minute after it
began, as Binghamton scored on a penalty
shot.

“That early goal really go us down,
had q steamroller effect on us," said
Schieffelin. ‘In essence, that's what
happened."”

“The call for @ penalty shot was pretty
much undeserved,” said Co-Captain Carl
Toos. “What should have been awarded in
that situation was an indirect free kick."

The Dane freshman factor, which has
been hampering Albany throughout the
season was another contributing reason
for the loss.

Going into Saturday's game at

type of team that, two hours after

Saturday's game weighs in-

however, as their incentive rests
upon knowing that they'll be

Dane spikers to play in SUNYACs_NCAAclears way

Saturday, the women's volleyball team
trounced Siena College Tuesday, 15-9,
15-3, 15-7,

HOWARD TYAN UPS.
Tho Albany apikers compete in the
SUNYACs this weekend.

‘The Ithaca tournament marked the first
major downfall the women spikers have
encountered this season,

Things did not start out well for the
Danes. Upon arriving in Ithaca, they
learned that they had to squeeze into two
hotel rooms after their previously booked
reservations were not honored due to
homecoming at Ithaca and Cornell,

‘The nervousness began Saturday morn-
ing as Albany walked onto the court. For
the third time this year, Albany was to
meet up with the nation’s third ranked
team, Cortland.

Albany won the first match 15-13, but
fell in the second and third, 15-5, 15-4.

Immediately following Cortland, the
Danes faced fourteenth ranked Ithaci
Albany was no challenge to the Itha
team. They were defeated 15-4, 15-10.

Meanwhile, the tenseness mounted, St
Bonaventure was Albany's next and only
victory. They lost the first game 15-13, but
came back with a 15-7, 15-13 victory over
the Division I team,

After a break, Albany was back on the
court for their final matches, Nazareth
College, which Albany beat last year in the
NCAA's, was their next opponent, Albany
was confident in the first game, winning
15-13. However, the spikers fell 15-0, 15-7
in the other two,

“We didn’t play poorly, but we didn’t
play well enough to bea threat to the other
teams," said Head volleyball coach Pat
Dwyer. “We didn’t play that well as a
team."

“The loss wasn't really anything you
could put your hands on," said
sophomore Chris Hofer.

Possible factors for the loss include the
tight hotel conditions, and the lingering ef
fect of midterms, There was also no break
in between most of the matches for the
players to have a rest.

The spikers must have rested well before
‘Tuesday's home match against Siena Col-
lege. They crushed the opposition 15-9,
15-3, 15-7 in the best three out of five
matches.

“Some people had their best matches all
year,” said Dwyer, adding," expected us
to win, but was surprised we didn't have
more trouble than we did."*

All of the team members played at least
half a game in the ‘pleasing win" for
Dwyer,

The match was “a win w

for Albany teams
to be in playoffs

The late compliance form scandal,
which put the Albany State athletic
team’s playoff chances in peril, was rec-
tified last week.

Athletic Director Dr. William Moore
received a reassuring phone call from
NCAA headquarters in Mission, Kansas
confirming that Albany State will not be
put on probation, which would have
Prohibited the athletic teams from par-
ticipating in post-season action,

The athletic department was caught
on a technicality, when a compliance
form was received by the NCAA on
September 17, two days past the
deadline. After reviewing the case last
Friday, the NCAA committee voted to
drop the charges against Albany State.

“We're very relieved,” Dr, Moore
said, "We didn’t know what was going
to happen because we were never late
before."

The athletic department now knows
the possible consequences and, “we're
never going to be late again."’ said Dr.
Moore.

his week marks the sixth anniversary of the Iranian hostage crisis. This inci-
el Eee was highly publicized as an atrocious and inhumane political act. What
the public doesn't realize is that terrorism, in some form, occurs every day.
Furthermore, any person who has ever been a child has, undoubtedly, been a
terrorist.
I was a 9-year-old terrorist. Jodie, my best friend, was my accomplice, Our vic-
tim: my younger sister. Our motive: entertainment, 4

Just as in adult terrorism, ours was a well-planned, premeditated act. Jodie and 1
had watched a magic show on T.V in which a magician is packed into a crate
Houdini-style and lowered into a tank of water. Of course, since he knew magic,
he got out. We thought it would be neat if he didn’t. Soon the details of a junior
terrorist scheme were formin;

First we necded a hostage. Luckily, my 7-year-old sister fit the bill. Lee was
always eager to play with us, usually easy to capture, and never suspicious of our
evil intentions. Jodie and I decided that ambush would be the most exciting method
of capture. We put stockings over our heads, crept into the playroom, and threw a
blanket over the unsuspecting hostage-tu-be.

The capture wasn’t as thrilling as we expected, since our hostage had been napp-
ing and remained asleep throughout the ordeal. We shook her awake and told her
that, if she was very good, she could be our assistant in a magic trick. She nodded
and yawned in agreement. We then ordered her tu sit still while we gathered sup-

plies in the garage. Ever the good victim, she sat obediently.

Well, we couldn’t find a large crate or 1 tank of water, but 20 minutes later we
came back laden with bicycle locks, rope, and an old dust rag. Our hostage was |
right where we left her — fast asleep. | impatiently nudged hei, insisting, “C'mon!
This is gonna be fun!”

Jodie hoisted Lee onto a chair, and we proceeded to fasten her legs with the bicy-
cle locks. We tied her hands behind the chair with about five yards of rope and

some very questionable Girl Scout knots. When I was about to stuff the dust rag in-
to her mouth, the hostage got nervous. “Is that part of the magic trick?”

“Yeah,” I assured her. "We get you all tied up, we put this rag in your mouth,
and then you get out by magic.”

“How about we just have lunch?’ she suggested.

Jodie winked at me and, like a true junior terrorist, said, “Good idea."

We gagged our hostage, dragged the chair into a closet, shut the door, and went
downstairs for lunch. As we slopped peanut butter and jelly onto bread, the table,
and the floor, the thumping on the cciling and muffled screams got to us. I guess
Jodie and I were wimpy terrorists, because we agreed to release the hostage and of-
fer her a sandwich and chocolate milk as compensation.

Fortunately, our hostage was cooperative, and we were softies, so nobody got
hurt, Fortunately, too, we realized that terrorism just isn’t as much fun aglunch.

November 1, 1985!

Babenco on Babenco

ector Babenco’s world revolves a lit.
H tle faster everyday. The 39-year-old

director, whose critically acclaimed
Kiss of the Spider Woman is currently en-
joying an extremely lucrative American
release, recently accepted the directorial
reins of Ironweed, a film to be based on a
William Kennedy screenplay.

Ian Spelling

Babenco drew international recognition
with 1981's Pixote, a motion picture
relating the struggle of Brazil's countless
abandoned children. That accomplishment
lead to Kiss of the Spider Woman, which
received numerous standing ovations and
garnered William Hurt the Best Actor
award at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival,

A Brazilian production shot with English
dialogue, Kiss of the Spider Woman
features Hurt and Raul Julia, Hurt portrays
Molina, an effeminate homosexual im-
prisoned for attempting to corrupt the
morals of a minor. Julia is Valentin,
Molina’s journalist cellmate, arrested for
aiding anti-government forces in a war for
independence.

To pass time, the normally dour Valen-
tin allows himself to be amused by
Molina’s telling of a “love story.” Thi
however, is actually a romanticized version
‘of a Nazi propaganda film. The men’s op-
posing interpretations of every event
which befalls them make Spider Woman
an intriguing study of the human persona.
Valentin’s political philosophies influence
Molina, and, in turn, Molina’s sexual
preference causes Valentin to question his
own macho image for the first time.

In William Kennedy's office at the State
University of New York at Albany, Baben-
co openly discussed the latest details of his
rapidly changing life. Though visibly ex-
hausted by his relentless pace, Babenco
pondered each question before offering an
honest reply. He conversed in a broken
English, one developed primarily through
reading books and dealing with
Americans. Babenco complemented his
straight forward approach with strategical-
ly timed use of’ an unusually emotional
stare and the constant movement of his
large, brown hands,

Babenco spoke seriously of his reasons
for leaving Brazil following the completion
of Spider Woman, Simply stated, Brazil's
fragile state of filmmaking and the coun-
try’s dismal economic situation, coupled
with Babenco’s burgeoning cinematic ap.
petite, led him to the United States. “The
huge poverty in the country was pulling
people out of the theater. We are having,
year by year, fewer tickets sold. This is just
because the poverty has increased on: a
large scale in the last five years,” Babenco
lamented. “People don’t have the money
to go to the theater. This radically affected
the Brazilian movies, because the only
place in which a Brazilian movie producer
can recoup his investment is in the
Brazilian market. The foreign market, for
them part, represents very little
earnings.”

“You have a considerable reduction of
people going to the theater. You have the
prices increasing in a very strong way.
Brazilian producers are facing a lot of pro-
blems making their movies,” Babenco con-
tinued. “Fewer movies are being made
year by year, and the good directors are
facing problems raising the money to pro-
duce their own projects. One of the
reasons I did Kiss of the Spider Woman not
in Portugese, and, yes, with American ac-
tors, was because | was trying to ac:
complish a second stab after the success of
Pixote in the American market.! was trying
to make an English speaking movie in
which I could show my work in a more in-
ternational language and then look for bet-
ter possibilities.”

The positive critical reactions accorded
Spider Woman clearly pleased Babenco.
“I'm very happy, very surprised, and very
happy about the response,” he said through
a huge, pearly white grin. But of more im

port, Spider Woman contented its proud,
passionate director. "I love to see my work
acclaimed. 'm not denying the mechanics
of pleasure because I think they are mean-
ingful in life. I'm not trying to make
movies to share my feelings, to make other
people agree with my point of view, or do-
ing my movies just to please the audience,”
Babenco explained. “I'm just pleasing
myself, If in pleasing myself I please hun-
dreds of thousands of people, that's a
perfect thing.”

Babenco apparently exudes confidence,
this assessment; rather Hector Babenco

face of new and challenging experie
particularly the upcoming Jronweed. “It's
not confidence,” he insisted. “I'm scared as
hell about taking a new step in my life. |
know I'm going to meet a lot of new peo-
ple and work in a language that is not
mine. L know I will work with production
and technical crews I've never seen before.
1 know I'm going to be handling actors in
the kinds of roles I don’t know so well. Al
these things make me feel I'd like to make
this movie, just the difficulties,”

Ironweed poses additional problems for
its director. Babenco responded to each
potential dilemma with his characteristic
candor and the habitual use of manual em-
phasis. He denied feeling pressure about
the unavoidable comparison between a
film and the book on which it is based, “I
don’t care,” Babenco claimed. “When the
script is written it must speak for itself. It
has its own identity, its own weight, and it
has nothing to do with the previous ver-
sion, which is the book. They are two dif-
ferent animal:

Babenco must also confront differences
in nationality. The outlaws of Kennedy's
Ironweed are _Irish-Americans, while
Babenco is anything but. “I think | am go-
ing to have a lot of trouble (with that),” he
confided, “but this is why I love to make
movies.”

His love of the craft fostered an indepen:
dent streak demanding more than a
measure of creative control, This, he
presumes, should diminish any conceivable

production troubles. “I am going to impose

However, he vehemently disagreed with ~

believes he simply stands his ground in the *

my model of working as much as I can,”
Babenco promised. “I would like to defend
with all my energies the control of
Ironweed; We are going to hold the
creative control of the movie, Mr Kennedy
and me. This is our commitment.”
Tronweed will likely provide Babenco
another opportunity to equate control with
the honesty he believes inherent in film.

|! Though the art has often been described as

‘an artificial means of recreating life, Baben-
co argued, “the fact that something is ar-

tificial doesn’t mean it isn’t honest, You can
(also) be 100 percent honest and do
something totally artificial. I think the con-
cept of honesty is not always attached to
truth, and truth attached to reality, and
reality attached to the commentary. I think
all these links of concept are artificial in a
sophisticated way. You can produce reality
and be more real than reality itself. You are
being honest and working in an artificial
way.”

So what does Hector Babenco imagine
he can offer lronweed He isn’t certain. “I
don't know,” he said sincerely, clasping his

my dedication and energy to do the best

Ironweed will undoubtedly serve as a
proving ground for the young director, but
the experience should also be regarded as a
giant step for this man and a small step for
this man’s kind. Babenco fought the odds,
and continues to do so. He has cast his
latest die with Jronweed. Whether or not
the gamble pay’ off is of litle importance,
the fact that he undertook another great
challenge is.

Sometimes | think my next movie is

the circulating air of Kennedy's office one
last time. “I don’t even know where I'll be
sleeping tonight. I don't dream so far away.

my dreams and go as far as can every day,
accomplishing the dreams I had the night

A dialogue at
Page Hall

ast Wednesday night, after two
L years of entertaining and educating

the SUNY community with lectures
and readings by authors of fiction, poetry,
and autobiography, the New York State
Writers Institute presented its first evening,
of film discussion. The participants were
Institute Director William Kennedy and
Argentinian film director Hector Babenco,
known for the recently successful Kiss of
the Spider Woman. Babenco is currently
residing in Albany and working with Ken-
nedy on a film adaptation of Kennedy's
own Pulitzer Prize winning novel,
Jronweed.

Marc Fenton

Rather than give a_ straightforward
reading or lecture on the chosen topic for
discussion, “Fiction and Film,” the two pro
ceeded with what Kennedy called an open
dialogue, a question and answer exchange

“..1'm like a kid who
needs ice cream, and half an

with the audience, The result was an infor
hugely evening,
highlighted by the presence of Babenco,
whose natural candor and charm kept the
near capacity Page Hall crowd captivated
throughout, After an introduction by Ken-
nedy, Babenco explained, “I didn’t prepare
a text, [just know quite well how to write
movies, and I have an open mind to hear
your questions,” He kept to his word by
listening carefully and responding in-
telligently to the various questions.

When asked whether or not he felt the
movie Kiss of the Spider Woman was bet.
ter than the novel, Babenco replied, “Each
has specific qualities, strong elements.” He
feels that they can’t really be compared.
"The book is a great book, the movie a
great movie. They are different mediums.
You have to keep alive the qualities of the
literary piece inside the movie, but you
never make connections, because they are
different.” ‘

After making three films in his native
tongue, he choose to do Kiss of the Spider
Woman in English, He explained that his
choice was either. to make a small, Brazilian
film like his earlier Pixote that was very
specific, appealing to film connoisseurs, or
to do a project such as Kiss of the Spider
Woman, which he felt was universal, The
factors leading to his decision included his
“desire to appeal to a larger audience by
writing in a language everyone could
understand,” and the fact that “the financial
demands of the film could not be dealt
with in Brazil,” He was also interested in
“working with the people who surrounded
the project” and "the great actors” who
contributed their talent.

Babenco expressed his desire to rewrite
film scripts, stating, “I'm like a kid who
needs ice cream, and a half hour later 1
need popcorn, and a half hour later | need

He explained that he would only
ul to revise Jronweed one or two times,
cause the book is so good. His goal is
“not to write a script that is better, because
it is a difficult process.” He “must try to
find the real element from the book and
put it in the script.”

Babenco described his working relation:
ship with Kennedy as a “happy collabora-
tion, He does the driving, 1 tell him to go
right or go left.”

‘The evening of conversation concluded
with Babenco’s reaction to a ques
his decision to adapt Ironweed and Kiss of |
the Spider Woman over other novels, "I do
not choose the best, the best choose
me..." Kennedy has made a highly
estimable choice in the provocative Hector

and the bully is picking on this kid who has

never done anything to provoke the bully.
The scene goes on for a very long time when sud-
denly, that kid strikes back with an unexpected
blow. A wave of shock goes through the school and
then the students cheer. Everyone, except the bully
and his friends, rejoice at the underdog’s retaliation.

Maureen A. Keefe

Each and every one of us in one sense or another
can relate to this scene. Each and every one of us has
felt helpless, like the underdog, until that person or
situation has pushed us just a little too far. We strike
back and we congratulate ourselves, because we
have stood up against what we fear. By the same
token, we can make the analogy that the bully is the
terrorist and the United States is the kid who finally
retaliates.

Time and again, the United States has been the
target of terrorism: the hostage-taking of the U.
Embassy in Theran in 1980, the Shiite terrorist bom-
bing of the U,S.Embassy in 1983, the bombing that
killed over 300 peacekeeping Marines (U.S,
Marines) in 1983, the highjacking of TWA flight
847 in June which resulted in the death of Navy Pet-
ty Officer Robert Stethem. As to date no true justice
has yet been accomplished. Now the terrorists have
pushed the United States too far with the seajacking
of the Achille Lauro, in which Leon Klinghoffer was
brutally slaughtered. With the four terrorists in
custody, possibly the United States will see the pro-
verbial justice for all.

On October 8, 1985, about 30 miles off shore
from Port Said, the 23,629 ton ocean liner (Achille
Lauro) was seajacked by four PLO faction (Palestine
Liberation Front) terrorists, For nearly three days,
terror reigned in the hearts of the 511 people (365
crew and 146 passengers) on the ship. On October
10, Egyptian President Mubarak negotiated a deal
with these four terrorists. The deal was for safe
passage to the hierarchy of Lebanon via a commer:
cially owned Egyptian jet. The same day, U.S. Presi
dent Reagan gave orders for an E2-C (refueler), four
F-14 Tomeats (all from the battle ship Saratoga) to
track the Egyptian plane down and force it to land in
a NATO Air Base in Sigonella, Scicily. When the
plane landed in Scicily, the pilot of the plane, the
four seajackers and two PLO leaders were detained.

‘One leader was the well-known Mohammed Ab:
bas of the Palestine Liberation Front, Italy charged
the four terrorists, but let the two leaders go, despite
pleas from the United States. During that time,
Egypt portiacked the Achille Lauro to protest the
United: States’ forced landing of the Egyptian
airliner.

‘A main point that should be addressed is the
brutal slaying of an American passenger. Leon Kl:
inghoffer, 69, paralyzed bath physically and verbal-
ly, was shot twice. The two shots were to his head
and back, After killing him, the terrorists threw him
overboard with his wheelchair,

‘This just reveals the mentality of the terrorists.
‘They are nothing less than cruel, heartless, cowardly
people, What sane person, even with a just cause,
would shoot a handicapped man and throw him
overboard? Justice for these fourt Most Americans
believe that the Italian jury should give these ter
rorists the same justice and mercy they gave to Leon
Klinghoffer, Justice for such as these should be swift
and sure,

As time passes by us, the United States sees her
friendships fading before her eyes. To start with,
Egypt expects an apology from President Reagan for
the forced landing of the Egyptian airplane. In the

T ry to recall this: You're back in grade school

first place, The United States should expect an
apology from Egypt, President Mubarak negotiated
a deal with these terrorists, knowing that there was

the possibility of a murder of an American
passenger. It is incomprehensible why any peace
loving country would do this, knowing full well that
these actions only enhance terorist acts in the future
I the United States pulled away aid from Egypt at
this very moment, Egyptian Pres. Mubarak’s
government would topple. It was not so long ago
when Anwar Sadat was killed by terrorists, putting
Mubarak into the presidency, Why anyone who has
dealt with the tragic effects of terrorists’ acts would
succor terrorists is absolutely berelt of reason.

The United States owes Egypt no apology for for:
cing their plane down, The plane was in interna:
ional air space and no law was broken, Even the
USSR agreed with President Reagan's decision and
action, Any country fighting terrorists’ action would
not aid the terrorists’ movement, It is reasonable to

presume that any country with equal military power
would have done the same if they had been in that
situation

Terrorists 1059, United States 1

The only way to stop these violent acts of ter-
rorism is to catch the people committing and master-
minding them. The United States did both. Unfor-
tunately, our “ally”, Italy, let the leader of the
Palestine Liberation Front, Mohammed Abbas, go.
This was due, possibly, to their fear of repercussions
from the terrorists. Even if Italy had not been an ally
of the United States, it should have detained Abbas.
All the evidence was present to prosecute him, but
still Abbas was released.

How can terrorism ever be fought on a serious
level when countries like Italy carry out this kind of
insane action? It should not be the duty of a single
country to track down, capture, and prosecute these
terrorists, but the obligation of each and every
country.

countries of the world. Havens. . .cannot be allowed.

in Theran was very vivid. From noon October 10,
1985 till 4:37 pm, when the final decision was made,
Reagan weighed all the options. It was indeed a high
stakes poker match, but well worth the risks. It is
about time someone stood up and said we've had
enough. The mission has been dubbed the “Entebbe
2" by Mayor Koch and Israeli Prime Minister Perez,
and rightfully so.

‘This intercept was definetely a boost for the
United States. It showed terrorists around the world
that the United States would no longer stand: for
their cruel, insensitive actions. It gave Americans
pride in their country, The terrorists may have
scored 1059, but at last the United States.is on the
board.

In the end, Reagan's decision left many countries

As the United States looks around, the one friend
in plain view is Israel. Israe} is the only country that
has made a statement totally supporting President
Reagan's actions. If all the countries were like Israel,
maybe terrorists wouldn't have such a strong grip on
their hearts. Some food for thought.

Pacifists and radicals alike-are exulting over Presi-
dent Reagan's decision, Finally America can hold its
head high in its on-going battle against terrorism. All
Americans can feel pride in our military strength,
which was put to good use, No one was hurt by our
military superiority, but criminals will now be
brought to justice.

President Reagan made the best decision of his
term when he ordered the landing of the Egyptian
737, which held the seajackers, Every American
agrees with his decision, Congress agrees with his
decision. Finally, the American people are in mutual
agreement about one subject, the forced landing.

Reagan went through considerable pains i
ing this decision, The memory of the failed mission

winners. Israel did not have to release 50 Palestinian
prisoners, as the seajackers had previously demand.
ed. Israel is now another country that has said no to
terrorist demands, Even Egypt won — the seajackers
were given safe passage out of Egypt. Thus, Egypt
cannot be blamed for their apprehension, While
mést Arab nations strongly condemned the seajack-
ing of the Achille Lauro, Egyptian relations with
these countries remained unharmed. All in all, the
only losers were the seajackers and passengers and
crew of the Achille Lauro, including Leon
Klinghoffer.

Terrorism can only be stopped with the coopera-
tion of all the countries of the world. Havens like
Libya and Lebanon cannot be allowed. Terrorists
must be hunted down and punished. Retaliation is
the only thing these terrorists seem to understand.
So, let’s show them true retaliation. Now that Italy
has four terrorists in their custody, let justice be
swift ‘and sure, The question remaining is, “Will
there be justice for all?”. . . only time will tell...

physically reacts as he
re nearly as telling as his

the pale, clammy skinland hollow eyes scream out
loud and clear. His is alscarred, weathered face, one
which has lost its battid with time, time spent in Iran’
under the imminent threat of death. The physical
results of prolonged captivity are that obvious. The

pure gray. No facade exists. When Kennedy laughs,
he means it. But as the lips spread thin and his teeth
show, it is obvious the man lives for today, having
learned the hard way to enjoy life’s small pleasures.

Kennedy willingly discusses specific events dur-
ing his captivity. However, he clearly prefers con-
veying his feelings about the lessons America learn-
ed as a result of the hostage crisis.

1 thought, we thought, when we came back that
that would be the end ot it, that we'd never be heard
from again. Two or three months later people said
‘Go out and lecture while you can, before no one
wants to hear you again’ " Kennedy pauses,
dramatically bats his eye lids and continues, “What
has indeed happened is that Iran was only the begin-
ning, not just for us, but for Islamic fundamentalism
coming out as a political force. | think it is here to
stay. I think Americans are properly upset by it,
There are a lot of forces in the world that Americans
no longer classify as good guy, bad guy.”

“You're not going to get rid of nuclear weapons,
You can argue that you use nuclear weapons to
deter their use by someone else, You can hear a
speaker such as mysell say "You've got to unders-
tand these people, why they resort to terrorism.’ All
of a sudden (when the American embassy was over-
taken) the American people realized this isn't the
way the world is supposed to be, We had our
causes, and (we had) clear-cut enemies. It was us and
Hitler. There is no question there. One is unam-
biguously good and one is unambiguously bad. That
really doesn’t exist today.”

Upon their release, the hostages were catapulted

into the roles of heroes. Across America, people
celebrated. Spirits rose. Americans rallied around

their heroes. The former hostages were the toasts of

their respective hometowns, Then there were the
parades, “ ‘I feel good about America again’ was the
theme of the parades. The hostages symbolized
something for the American people. We knew it.
We sensed it, We played up to it,” admits Kennedy,
who covers his mouth, realizing he implied
something he didn’t necessarily mean.

“We didn’t play up to it in the sense of play ac-
ting, but we felt we had to respond to a deeply felt
need on the part of the American people. That sug-
gests to me that they didn’t feel good about America
before. There was still a lot of Vietnam. There was
still a lot of humiliation from the hostage takeover.
People wanted reassurance, they wanted authentic
heroes. We were just ordinary guys, but we filled

credible, positive response accorded the
hostages’ homecoming lead many to reconsider
‘America’s negative reaction to the return of Viet-
nam veterans, who were publicly shunned. Ken-
nedy believes the entire country gained respect for
its own citizens, and, as Vietnam .veterans are
‘Americans, they too recieved a measure of belated
recognition.

“About three days after 1 got home I got a
telephone call from Bobby Miller, the parapalegic
who is the leader of the Vietnam veterans. His first
words were ‘Thank you.’ We had been getting a lot
of static from the Vietnam vets about ‘nobody gave
us a parade.’ What Miller said was ‘You have made
sacrifices, and have made the country respectable
again. Now we can assert our just demands for
recognition, and in the cases where medical and
other treatment is necessary, greater demands,’ ”

"{ think that happened,” Kennedy says, smiling
that yellow-toothed smile which so painfully recalls
the high price of progress. “I think we had a lot to do
with the Vietnam Memorial going up and the rest of
that. We are taking about causation, Did we cause
an event or did we happen about the same time the
‘American people wanted to come to terms with

their own past, and put Vietnam where it belonged,
and get on with being Americans? The hostage crisis
and the return came at a moment when Americans
wanted to be Americans again.”

‘According to Kennedy, Americans are still on a
natural high. “Whether because of Mr, Reagan or
just paralleling Mr. Reagan, Americans are feeling
better and better and better, and more optimistic
and prouder, “he said,

On this day freedom rang, the New York
front page described the former hostages as “Alive,
well, and free.” However, 444 days of captivity in a
foreign land under the hostile, watchful eyes of ter-
rorist captors left more than physical reminders on
Moorehead Kennedy. “I haven't left,” he says matter
of factly. “I still have a nightmare that the State
Department has put me on a plane and sent me back
to resume my captivity.”

Though no longer a foreign service officer, Ken
nedy would return to Iran if the country stabilized,
“Lhave no ill feelings about the Iranian people, or in-
deed my captors, I'd buy them a lunch, some of
them,” he says seriously. “I think the hardest thing,
for me was coming to terms with the state depart-
ment, who left us out there, and Mr. Carter. That
took a bit of doing. But even in captivity | made
myself think, ‘Look, you can’t afford to get mad,
because anger weakens you. And you've got to save
your strength for the last event, the last scene.”

‘Beyond that, 1 came to the point of realizing,
‘Look, I'm part of it (the reason for the overtaking). [
didn’t send the messages I should have. 1 could
have. ..”"

‘Andy Warhol once prophesized everyone would
be famous for 15 minutes, Kennedy still rates
newsworthy six years after the embassy takeover.
His hiche in history will remain as one of “the fifty-
two." History aside, the experience permanently
altered Kennedy's life. And he is currently channell-
ing the anger, the hope, and newly-formed opinions
on politics and fate into a new self. “I would have
been a reasonably successful foreign service officer
had 1 stayed in, Now, I'm something of a public
figure. I say that not because of an ego thing, but |

am heard,” he asserts. “I've got a book out. 'm on
TV a certain amount. I do lectures at universities
People are willing to listen,

‘One person in particular who pays close attention
to what Kennedy thinks and says is his wife. During
the hostage crisis, Mrs, Kennedy inadvertantly
became spokesperson for the hostages’ wives. Their
marriage changed considerably upon Kennedy's
return, insomuch as it improved, Each partner
developed emotionally, each personality strengthen-
ed, and their love and need for each other swelled.

“One Moorehead Kennedy went abroad to Iran,”
he proudly concludes. “Another one came back;

There are certain things that stand out in people's
minds when they think about the incident now —
The yellow ribbons around trees, the “Fuck Iran”
shirts, the great sight of seeing our people get off the
plane. What we seem to forget is that often na-
tionalism and hostility are products of helplessness.
American citizens were being held hostage and
there was not a thing we could do. Yeah, we tried to
rescue them, Remember that? What a job it was, We
were in a position that the US was not used to —
backed against a wall with our hands tied behind our
backs, and our response was “Fuck them - Bomb the
hell out of them.”

Show me a desperate person, who has lost pride,
run out of options, and is being made a public
display of, and I'll show you a person who is ready
to strike back in the most forceful, blatant, and ag:
gressive manner possible. We started to hate Iran,
Iranian people, and everything associated with Iran,
kind of like how the Germans felt about the Jews in

So the hostages came home and the country went
nuts. The hostages were given first class treatment.
They were heroes. We finally won out. Good con-

alloween may be gone, but the spirit

of the bizarre and unexpected will

haunt the concert stages of the
Capital District this weekend.

Louis Lewis

The area will play host to the New
Music Network Tour, a concert series
featuring nine artists and ensembles perfor-
ming contemporary music from solo piano
compositions to large, formless group im-
provisations, from free-form jazz to multi-
media opera.

During November, the tour will repeat
its series in two other regions of the state,
the lower Hudson Valley and western
New York. This affords all New Yorkers
an exposure to the music of their time,
while giving the artists a chance to reach an
audience outside New York City.

“This tour will conclusively prove that
there is no such thing as a single ‘modern’
music or a single trend, but rather a rich
variety of streams of musical thought,” said
James Jordan, music director of the New
York State Council on the Arts, which
along with local organizations and Meet
the Composer, is sponsoring the event.

This area’s six-concert barrage will begin
tonight at 8 in the Performing Arts Center
Recital Hall, with two highly acclaimed
pianists, Alan Feinberg and Cecil Taylor,
spliting the bill.

Feinberg is a leading interpreter of con-
temporary piano music. He has premiered
a wide range of works, including all those
cn tonight's program, which are considered
extremely challenging, demanding the
highest levels of sensitivity and virtuosity.

Cecil Taylor: is an acknowledged
founder of the jazz avant-garde. After 30
years, he remains a revolutionary figure,
renowned for an intense performance style
and rapport with the audience. The
dissonance and dense textures of his most-
ly improvised music are balanced with a
vast range of powerful emotional
expression.

Also taking the stage tonight at 8, at
Union College's Memorial Chapel, is opera
revolutionary Robert Ashley. A pioneer of
musical theater and multimedia perfor-
mance art (many of his works are for
television) since the 60's, Ashley will pre-
sent a boiled-down version of his opera
“Atalanta (Acts of God).

There will be two concerts on Saturday.

The first, at the downtown campus Page
Hall at 3 p.m., is a bill split between flutist
Robert Dick and Jane Ira Bloom/3-D Sax.
Dick is known worldwide for his extraor-
dinary command of flute techniques, in-
cluding multiphonics (playing two or more
notes at the same time), microtones (notes
between the notes), circular breathing and
slissandi. His performance will take on a
vast variety of music, including many of
his own works,

Jane Ira Bloom is a noted jazz soprano
sax player and band leader. Her trio in-
cludes bass and synthesizer and other elec-
tronic media. Through exceptional perfor:
mance techniques and high-tech enhance:
ment, the group's improvisations explore
the sonic and musical possibilities of the
saxophone, drawing on jazz, pop, folk and
modern music.

Saturday night at 8, the internationally
renowned vocal sextet Western Wind will

their raunched-up folk rock sound to
J.B. for a performance that promises
to be... ALARMing at the very least.

Steve Raspa

The Alarm’s most popular anthemic
songs have been praised by some for their
frankness and condemmed by others for
what has been termed their “junior Clash
pretentiousness.” Regardless of positive or
negative evaluation, the fact that these
songs have managed to carve themselves a
permanent groove within today’s pan:
theon of pop, remains.

The band first forced its way into the
public arena in 1983 with its attention-
grabbing EP, The Alarm. This release’s two
‘most striking songs, “The Stand" and “Mar
ching On” were quickly swallowed up by
radio and managed to almost immediately
secure the band diehard fans. The Alarm
rewarded its fans for their early support at
first with an equally rousing string of con-
certs and then with the release of its 1984
album, Declaration, which contained the
hits “08 Guns,” “Blaze of Glory,” and
“Where Were You Hiding When the
Storm Broke.”

The Alarm has this year released
Strength, an album with a hard-driving
sound that should both please present fans

It is primarily the contributions of Mike

New music, their a capella performance
will include a medley of Duke Ellington
songs and a new work by Robert Dennis.

The Capital Disctrict arm of the tour will
wrap up with two shows on Sunday. A
third split bill will feature the zany im-
provisations of Meltable Snaps It and 20th-
Century performances from Continuum.

Meltable Snaps It is a four-member
group that works with dozens of in-
struments, including reeds, percussion,
electronics and tape effects, voice and
record players. Forsaking the conventions
of melody and rhythm, they create
formless, totally spontaneous sound col
lages infected with plenty of aural and
visual humour, often labeled as an
underground New York City movement,
“art noise.”

Continuum was founded in 1967 with

the philosophy that new music and old
form an unbroken tradition. Dedicated to
expanding the audience for 20th-Century
music, thay have given hundreds of con:
certs and workshops. The program will in-
clude works by Stravinsky and Robert

Whalen wins decisively in Tuesday’s election

By Ken Dorbaum
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Albany Mayor Thomas Whalen
ran away with the vote on an elec-
tion day marked with low voter
turnout among SUNYA students.

Only 28 people from Dutch
Quad, $7 from Indian Quad, 45
from Colonial Quad and 179
from. State Quad showed up at

their respective pollin;
Larry Hartman, Chair of Central
Council's
Committee.
‘Hartman added that there was
no way of determining voter. tur-
nout from Alumni Quad since
residents voted in three different
places, but he estimated the figure
to be about 50.

Students prove to be no-shows at polls

Whalen beat out
challenger Louis Russo 29,968 to

“This is a great victory for this
great city and the Democratic
Party,"" Whalen said Tuesday
night. He added “‘I want to con-
tinue the good government of the
past two and a half years,"*

Whalen also said that he will
continue to support and enforce
the Grouper Law. ‘Not only will
there be no changes, but we will
work vigorously throurh the
courts’? he promised, tc enforce
the law,

In other local elections, Helen
DesFosses, Chair of the Depart-
ment of Public Affairs and
Policy, lost her bid to become a
member of the Albany School
Board by just over 500 votes.

Also, Democrat Nicholas Col-
luccio, member of the board of
alders from the 15th ward in
Albany, which includes the up-
town campus, easily defeated his
‘opponent, Republican Richard
Barnett, by a vote of 1,661 to 420.

Meanwhile the student turnout
disappointed student leaders.
“Overall, the turnout was poor.
It was an off year, but we ex-
pected more," said Steve Gawley,
S.A. President who added, “I
think the lousy weather may have
cut down on some of the voting.””

“The key to the whole thing
that the mayor's campaign did
not happen on campus — neither

P did Russo’s,’” explained Gawley.

community to vote by going doot
to door in the dormitories.

Low turnout “won't help students credibility in Albany."*

“This won't help students
credibility in Albany, but we're

not deterred. We are committed
to voter registration and voter
turnout and next year is a gover-
nor’s race," said Gawley.

Hartman theorized that tur-
nout was so poor because “local
elections are thoughtto be less im-
portant anc that no matter how
they voted, Albany Democrats

in,” he said, referring to
the hold the party has had on the
city for over 40 years.

“We had over 50 people help-
ing to get the vote out. That's
eght people voting for each per-
son helping out,"* he said.

“*A lot of the questions we got
were ‘Who do I vote for? ‘What
are the issues?",”” continued Hart-
man. “The blame for this lies on
the student. There was a lot of in-
formation. There were the ASP
articles, And only 70. people
showed up at the Meet the Can-
didates night,” he said, adding
“A tot of people use it for an ex-
cuse, but it’s their fault,”

“1 want to express that it’s
because of low turnout like this
that a 21 year old drinking age
law will pass and in the future
there could be an increase in
SUNY tuition or a decrease in
federal financial aid because of
such apathy,”* Hartman said.

Government officials may not
be willing to support student
issues without support at the
voting booths, he added,

Bus drivers to be fined for unauthorized stops

By Bill Jacob

Disciplinary action against University
bus drivers will be more strictly enforced
as a result of a meeting between Director
of Physical Plant Dennis Stevens and
members of the Student Association's In-
vestigations Sub-Committee.

The meeting, held October 16, was in
response to students’ complaints about bus
service, said Larry Hartman, chair of SA's
Student Action Committee, who attended
the meeting.

‘Students have encoutered problems with
bus drivers who have made unauthorized
stops, said Hartman,

‘There have been instances in which
students reported that bus drivers were
leaving the bus to purchase food or coffee,
he said, He cited one instance at the begin-
ning of the semester where a female stu-
dent was left alone in a running bus when
the driver got out to get a cup of coffee.

“That bus driver was officially
reprimanded” and fined $100, said Hart-
man, adding that all futureoffenders will
be reprimanded.

‘Other methods will also be employed to
prevent bus drivers from making
unauthorized stops, said Karen
Seymourian, chair of the investigations
sub-committee, Stevens said he would
assign a number to each driver which will
be posted in the front of cach bus as a
means of driver identification, she said.

If any problems should arise, students
will be able to record the number and
report the driver to Stevens’ office,

Seymourian sald, The original proposal to
give the drivers nametags was turned down

by Stevens because when drivers had
nametags in the past, they reported that
students were calling them at home to
harass them, she said.

A memorandum was sent to the drivers
indicating that disciplinary action will be
taken if it is discovered that they are mak-
ing unauthorized stops, Stephens said.

Kegs and beerballs could be banned
from suites and rooms on campus as a
result of a new alcohol use policy prpos-
ed by SUNYA Vice President for Stu-
dent Affairs Frank Pogue.

Pogue's recommendation follows a
vote by the ‘Implementation of 21”
Committee to allow quarter kegs in
suites. However, a vote by the commit-
tee on half-kegs was tied 5-5. The
group's report was released October 28,

The University must amend its policy
to take into account the new 21 year old
alcohol purchase age, which will become
law in New York State on December 1.

“The ban on bulk containers is the
only difference between the alcohol
policy proposed by the “'Implementa-
tion of 21' Committee and the policy
proposed by Pogue” said Student
Association Vice President Ross
Abelow, who served on the task force,

“There was a very serious debate
about the banning of bulk containers at

Hartman ‘noted that the most popular
< place to stop seems to be by Jerry's Sub
and Stewart's on Washington Avenue.

There should be no problems with
unauthorized stops, Seymourian said,
because full-time drivers are given 15
minute breaks before and after their half-
hour lunch break. The problem of
unauthorized stops was just discovered

In order to encourage students to
register their complaints, the telephone
number of Stevens office will be posted at

advertisement will be placed in the Albany

Other problems discussed at the meeting
included the availability of bus tickets to

Chair of SA’s Student Action Commit-
tee. “It was the consensus of all students
and administrators that that type of
bulk container policy would be virtually
unenforceable," he sald.

“The nature of the recommenda-
tion,” said Pogue, “is to place some
limit on the amount of alcohol being
consumed in the rooms. This is being

done," he added, ‘tout of a need to
acknowledge that as much as 82 percent
of the residential population is under the
age of 21,"

variety of groups before going to
