Whalen wins decisively in Tuesday’s election
By Ken Dorbaum

Albany Mayor Thomas Whalen
ran away with the vote on an elec-

turnout among SUNYA students.
Only 28 people from Dutch
Quad, $7 from Indian Quad, 45

Larry Hartman, Chair of Central

places, but he estimated the figure
to be about 50.

“This is a great victory for this

Whalen also said that he will

In other local elections, Helen

member of the Albany School

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

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-

Hartman theorized that tur-

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-

“*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

“A tot of people use it for an ex-

Bus drivers to be fined for unauthorized stops
By Bill Jacob
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
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.

Schultz visits Moscow
Moscow
(AP) Secretary of State George P. Shultz,
winding up 14 hours of “vigorous discus-
sions’ with Mikhail S. Gorbachev and
other Soviet officials, said today he was
unable to narrow the differences between
the two sides on ways to curb nuclear
weapons.
Shultz gave a downbeat assessment of
his two-day visit and of a successful sum-
mit meeting between President Reagan and
Gorbachev in Geneva Nov, 19-20.
“Basically we have a lot to do,"? Shultz
told reporters at a news conference. In
respect to the summit meeting, he said that
“life doesn't end in the middle of
November."”
Shultz said he discussed Reagan's latest
proposal to set limits on a number of
categories of nuclear arms with Gorbachev
and Foreign Minister Eduard A. Sheverd-
nadze but found "there was no narrowing
with respect to the nuclear and space
talks,”

Escorts at their table In Library entrance

“People are becoming much more aware of the service.’*
Escort service tops previous record
By Andrea Corson
STAFF WRITER
SUNYA’s escort service, “Don’t Walk
Alone,"” has escorted almost as many peo-
ple the past few weeks as in the past two
Semesters combined, recent figures show.
In Fall 1984 the service escorted 615 peo-
ple and in Spring 1985 that number fell to
481. But this semester, despite the non-
delivery of an already purchased radio
system, about 900 people have taken ad-
vantage of the service, said Chery! Oran-
soff, the program's director.
“People are becoming much more
aware of the service,”” added Oransoff.
Oransoff said she feels that the number
of people using the service this semester is
“fantastic” and although she is hoping
that the number of students escorted will
tise to 2,000, she said Don’t Walk Alone
will probably reach at least 1,500 students
by the end of the semester. ‘*We're only
operating about four more weeks until
classes end,’” she stated.
The program has also experienced an
upswing in the number of volunteer
escorts, said Assistant to the Director
Maria Maglione, ‘This semester we have
150 volunteers and most of the people we
have are really dedicated and enthusiastic
about the program.”
“We're already starting to recruit peo-
ple for next semester," she added.
Junior Dan Farley, who is a captain on
Monday nights said that he loves being an
escort. He also said this is his second year
with the program. “I like getting to know
all my escorts. There's something special
about someone who would give up their
time to make someone else more comfor-
table,"” he said.
First year student Susan Karp said shc
has used the servicew to walk from Indian
Quad to Colonial Quad because it was late
and she didn't want to walk across the
campus alone, She added, however, that
she does ‘feel relatively safe on this
campus.’”
“+I saw the advertisements and I figured
that I'd give them a try,” she sgid.
Despite Don’t Walk Alone’s success this
semester, the radio communications
system that was ordered for this service
still hasn’t arrived, according to Maglione.
am a little annoyed at this," added
Oransoff, explaining that the system is
currently-in Glens Falls awaiting a crystal
part. “We ordered it through the Educa-
tional Communications Center (ECC),"
she said, and because the part needed
wasn’t in stock, it had to be ordered from
the manufacturer which primarily caused
the delay.
Maglione said Don’t Walk Alone is no
longer planning to use the system in this
semester. Qo

grade standard
for financial aid
Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — College
students may have to maintain a “C””
average in the future in order to get
federal financial aid.
The grade requirement is just one
change in the aid system Congress is
now debating as it tries to pass the
Higher Education Reauthorization Act
of 1985,
The grade measure, proposed by
senators Don Nickles (R-OK) and Clair-
borne Pell (D-RI), has been proposed
unsuccessfully before. But chances for
its passage may be good this time,
sources said, because legislators are
looking for relatively painless ways to
cut the federal budget and because of re-
cent publicity about bad students who
get financial aid,
Currently, students only must be in
god standing and make “satisfactory
academic progress’ toward a degree to
receive federal aid,
“Unfortunately,"” Nickles said during
a hearing earlier this month, “there
have been problems with theis open-
ended definition. He added that
“Because of this open-ended opportuni-
ty for abuse, I believe we need to have a
more specific standard."
Nickles originally advanced his ideas
after a 1981 audit found nearly 20 per-
cent of the students who got aid had less
than a “C” average. Ten percent had a
cumulative GPA under 1.5.
Congress also is debating a bill to let
aduate students, who generally face
higher education costs than
undergraduates, borrow more federally-
guaranteed Joan money and pay it back
over a longer period of time.
The reauthorization process, which
effectively sets federal higher education
policies for the ensuing five years, usual-
ly triggers a slew of proposals that never
become law. But if federal loan pro-
grams are to be changed, the changes
will first emerge during these congres-
sional review sessions.
The grading bill would put aid reci-
pients whose grades fall below 2.0 on
probation for a term. If the student]
doesn't improve by the end of the pro-
bation period, he or she will be denied}
federal aid.
‘Administrators would be empowered,
however, to extend the probation period
for hardship cases, such as extended
illness.
The new break for graduate students
who want a Guaranteed Student Loan
(GSL) program came up during a House
subcommittee hearing,
Georgetown University law school
dean John Kramer, speaking for a coali-
tion of law school associations, said
graduate students needed the break.
“Over time, middle class students in
particular are just not going to be able
to afford a graduate education,”
Kramer said,
Moreover, unless debt repayment
policies are changed, many graduate
students will feel obligated to take high-
paying jobs after they get their degree,
instead of going into teaching or com-
munity service work, Kramer said.
Kramer’s plan would let graduate
students borrow more than they current-
ly can, and, if they borrow more than|
$15,000, repay it over 10 to 20 years,
In part because the plan calls for
after graduation, Kramer
calculated that the changes will save the
government between $200 and $500
million a year,
Students would assume the cost, but
Kramer said he thinks they ultimately
should be making enough (0 keep the
payments from being too much of a

Dorms almost back to normal after 270 moved
By Linda Greenberg
STAFF WRITER
The majority of students housed in in-
creased occupancy rooms and all of the
students housed temporarily by Residen-
tial Life have been moved into normal oc-
cupancy living conditions, said Office of
Residential Life Director John Martone,
‘Approximately 60 students, who applied
for on-campus housing for this semester
were assigned to temporary living quarters
such as dorm lounges.
“Temporary housing is just that we
guarantee to place students into permanent
housing within two days to two weeks. We
were able to take care of eliminating tem-
porary housing within one week," said
Martone.
Increased occupancy housing is not
necessarily temporary, said Martone, ad-
ding that students could remain in increas-
ed occupancy rooms all semester.
About 210 of the 375 students originally
placed inincreased occupancies have been
moved to normal occupancy rooms. Only
165 people are still left in increased oc-
cupancies, Martone, adding that
“some of these students have been given
the opportunity to move, but have refused
the offer."”
‘h year the University is faced with
the prospect of housing more students
than it can accomodate, said Martone,
“*Acceptance to the university is not based
on housing. The school accepts more peo-
ple than it could ever possibly house,"” he
adde
Little can be done to alleviate over-
crowding. ‘The Of of Residential Life
and students alike will have to deal with
the problem of increased occupancy for a
whil id Martone, ‘It will be some
time before SUNYA will be able to ac-
comodate more students," until new
dorms are built, he said.
Approximately 50 percent of incoming
frosh have been placed in increased oc-
cupancy this year, said Martone.
“Freshman were spread out on all five
quads this year instead of mostly being
concentrated on State and Colonial
Quads. This was a good idea because it has
prevented massive overcrowding on just
‘one quad,” he added.
‘A memorandum dated September 1,
1985 was distributed to all students assign-
ed to increased occupancy bedrooms.
According to Paul Doyle, associate
director of Residential Life, “This infor-
mative material was given out sot hat
everyone had the opportunity to receive
the same information.” The purpose was
to educate those students in increased oc-
cupancy “about the process of becoming
un-increased,” said Doyle.
Also, a September 4 meeting concerning
increased occupancy was announced in the
memorandum to further answer any ques-
tions. “It's only natural that students
should have questions and concerns regar-
ding this issue,” said Doyle.
Students assigned to increased occupan-
cy are charged lower rates than those in
normal occupancy. On the uptown quads,
housing costs have decreased from $775.00
per semester to $558.50 for those students
incresed’from four to five people, five to
six people, or six to seven people in a suite.
‘On the downtown quadj where two
students have been increased to three in a
room, costs have dropped from $750.00
per semester to $541.50.
According to Doyle, “Alumni students
are charged $25 less overall to compensate
for having to commute to the uptown
campus.”
If students choose to remain in an in-
creased occupancy suite, they will not be
charged the higher, normal occupancy rate
until campus wide residence hall occupan-
cy falls below 100 percent, hesaid. =
Students crowd dorms as living costs rise
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Students
seem to be opting to live in dormitories
because of the high transportation costs
and the expense of most off-campus
housing, although administrators have
been reluctant to build new dorms to ac-
modate students because they an-
ticipated a precipitous enrollment
decline be mid-decade, about the time
they would finish building the new
housing.
But the enrollment predictions
haven't quite panned out. The National
Center for Education Statistics most
recently predicted American college
enrollment this year would stay at about
last year’s record level.
Students’ access to dorm space, as a
result, depends on how well their par-
ticular schools have done in keeping
their enrollments up.
A randon College Press Service
sampling of housing officers nation-
wide found dorm overcrowding — in
which students are forced either to live
three or four to a room oF must move
temporarily into off campus commercial
space — is more common in Sun Belt
states, where enrollment is steady or in-
creasing, and less common in the rest of
the nation.
However many students do enroll,
though, they still seem to prefer living
on campus. “The tide is still turned
(towards students living on campus),"
said Jim Grimm, past president of the
nationwide association of university
housingofficers and still the University
of Florida’s housing chief.
“Students are slowly coming back to
campus," said Grimm, who said he ex-
pects the number of students living on
campus to increase between three and
six percent this year,
But Grimm's successor as president of
the Association of College and Universi-
ty Housing Officers (ACUHO) thinks
student demand for on-campus housing
is down marginally this year.
“The smaller and middle-sized
schools in particular have plenty of
vacancies,’ said Washington State
University housing director Bill
Bierbaum.
Bierbaum said more students are go-
ing to school closer to home to cut costs,
and that commuter students don't need
‘on-campus housing. ““People are trying
to cut costs by retrenching,” he said,
Colleges consequently are doing the
same thing airlines do when they're not
sure they can fill the space they have got
to sell: they overbook their rooms.
Some 200 University f Miami students
began the year shut out of dorm space
they'd been promised, compared to
some 40 students who found themselves
in the same fix in fall, 1984,
The University of Illinois had to con-
vert 57 dorm lounges into temporary
rooms to house students it couldn't ac
comodate in regular rooms.
The resultant densities alienate
students and provoke unexpected ten-
sions, A disproportionate number of
black students jammed into dorm triples
at Maryland brought accusations of

WCDB to count down their top 91 hits of all time
‘MARK MEDIAVILLA UPS
Disc Jockey Gregg Rothschild
By Jodi Fiddle
Joey Misetable and the Worms, the Talking
Heads, and the Clash are just some of the many
groups people will probably be hearing November
21, when WCDB-91FM airs their top 91 hits of all
time.
The countdown will be aired between 5 p.m. and
midnight and free album give-aways will be incor-
porated in the program, said disc jockey Gregg
Rothchild, one of the program's organizers.
WCDB has never done this type of program
before, said Rothchild, adding the idea was created
by himself, Sport Director Mark Isbitts, and Chris
Clarke: They are all hoping that this program will
increase the audience of WCDB.
“This will definitely increase listenership,”” along
with Rock Night at the Rafters, also sponsored by
WCDB, which is scheduled for the week before,
said Rothchild,
According to Isbitts, WCDB has not yet decided
on budget details because ‘‘we have never dealt with
this type of promotion before. We are having a
meeting later this week with our new promotion
manager to decide on how much we are willing to
‘I don’t know what we're going to do
with it [the promotion budget} because we haven't
spent a penny of it to date.””
The station decided on this promotion because it
“wanted to make students more aware of the music
feel the music we play is tee obscure. Most are from
downstate and listen to the Top-40 New York Sta-
tions,” he said.
For this reason, WCDB is not heavily encourag-
ing students to vote on the countdown because
“most of our listeners are off campus and a heavy
student vote would dilute our program,” said
Isbitts, who estimated that students make up only
about ten percent of the station’s audience.
WCDB, Rothchild said, is an alternative radio
station, and the only station in the Capital District
that plays new music and mixes all different varia-
tions into one set,
The top 91 hits of all time will be determined by
WCDB's listeners. Ballot Boxes will be located at
JB's Theatre, the Spectrum Theatre, Duck Soup
Theatre, Frank's Living Room, The Music Miser,
Radio Shack, and the Campus Center Information
Desk, In addition, ballots can also be mailed to the
station and a ballot box will be available at Rock
Night at the Rafters.
“One of the greatest things about this evening is
the listener is telling us what (o play,” Rothchitd
said, “This is only a logocal extension of WCDB's
philosophy ’of being as responsive to our listeners’
requests as possible,”” he said.
“This is one of the most exciting things that has
gone on since I have been here,” he said. ''I'm hap-
py with the support I’ve received from all of the

Students demand quality teaching
By Bill Jacob
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Although University officials and the Depart-
ment of Mathematics say that problems concerning
the teaching ability of professor Boguslaw
Tomaszewski in his MAT 361 class have been
reconciled, not all students in the class agree.
Students had been complaining that
Tomaszewski was difficult to understand because
of his Eastern Buropean accent and his failure to
fully explain points made in class.
Nineteen of twenty-four students enrolled in the
class signed a petition several weeks ago asking
Joseph Jenkins, Math department chair, to ensure
that steps would be taken to improve the level of
teaching in the class.
Harry Hamilton, Director of Undergraduate
Studies said last Friday that he spoke to Jenkins
about the situation in the class and was told that
students believe there has been an improvement.
“He (Jenkins) assured me that was the case.
Students seemed satisfied that their concerns were
addressed," he said.
Hamilton said that Jenkins spoke to about ten
students in the class and felt that their concerns
about the way the class is taught had been address-
ed, He added that Jenkins is ‘ready to respond to
student complaints,” but that complaints should be
specific in nature.
Jenkins would not comment on complaints con-
cerning Tomaszewski, ‘I don’t thnk that it’s ap-
propriate to discuss individual cases like this is the
press and so I don’t want to go into any details con-
cerning any individual in the faculty,"" he said.
MAT 361 is the first course Tomaszewski is
teaching at the University, Jenkins said.
‘Tomaszewski previously taught at the University of
Warsaw in Poland and:has since received his doc-
torate from the University of Wisconsin,
“Often a complaint is made by students concer:
ing language and that is not really the problem,
Hamilton said. “Often a whole host of things are
different, but the thing that is most different is the
language, and so the student complains about the
language.”
Tomaszewski declined to comment on the pro-
blems between himself and the students in his class.
One junior in the class, who is double-majoring
in computer science and mathematics, said that
Tomasewski’s teaching methods have not improved
since the beginning of the semester. ‘‘It looks the
same to me, He'll go over certain things and state
exactly how it's stated'in the book," she said,
“He does very few problems and doesn’t finish
examples,” she added, “Everything is straight from
the boo!
When asked whether Tomaszewski's accent af-
fects the class, she said that she sympathizes with
him, “I feel sorry for him, he just can’t get the
point across-he’s so frustrated.”
‘She also said she has to solve many problems
herself because Tomaszewski has told her that he
we pl
does not know how to do the problems, “I think
too late for anything (to change),’* she said.
“‘I'm accepting the fact that I’m not going to do,..
well.”
‘Another student in the class agreed that there has
been no improvement since students have begun to
complain to Jenkins. “He (Tomaszewski) hasn’t
changed his style of teaching at all,"’ she said.
“He's as bad as he was in the beginning. He doesn’t
explain the material,” she said.
‘The student further said that she does not got to
Tomaszewski during his officer hours. ‘It’s useless,
so I don’t bother,’’she said.
‘According to Angela Kolczyniski, another student
how American schools are run," she said, adding
that she feels that Tomaszewski has begun to ex-
plain theorems and go over more examples from the
textbook.
When asked if Tomaszewski’s accent made learn-
ing in the class more difficult, Kolezynski said, ‘it
did at first, but now that I'm used to it and have
been going to his office hours I've been used to his
accent.
“Language isn’t much of a problem anymore,"
she added. “We've mostly gotten used to that."
Students must take action if they feel that a pro-
fessor is not teaching effectively, Hamilton said,
“When a student who is in a class feels very strong-
ly that he or she is not learning the information
because of inabilities on the part of the faculty
member, then the person should talk to the chair of
the department, and as explicitly as possible in-
dicate what he or she thinks is wrong,”” he said.
“The chair should meet with the faculty member
involved and indicate that a complain has been
made, and try to find out whether the faculty
member might agree that there is a problem,”
Hamilton said. ‘Sometimes faculty are not aware
that there is a problem," he added.
“The chair’s responsibility is to investigate the
complaint,..and to follow-up somehow to try to
talk with other students in the class and get back to
the students who originally made the complaint,"
he said.
“If the student who made the original complaint
does not feel that the department chair effected a
solution to the problem, the students should then
notify me and the dean of the college in which the
department is house,"” Hamilton said.
Students should also attempt to deal with pro-
blems involving a professor by actually contacting
the instructor, Jenkins said. “1 would hope first
that they would talk to the professor, but if they
don't feel that is an appropriate avenue, they come
see “me or come sce the director of the
undergraduate program,’*
Past problems have been solved mostly on a
departmental fevel, Jenkins said. “When problems

said Isbitts, adding, “We have a very
negative image on campus because many students

all extremely psyched to be involved." u

.ittle sisters weaken frats
(Intercollegiate Press Service) A resolution from
the Fraternity Executives Association in Nashville,
Tennessee regarding “little sister’” groups has been
distributed to all Vanderbilt University fraternity
and sorority presidents. The national organization
believes that the groups have a negative effect on
the Greek system.
Sandy Stahl, associate director of sororities and
fraternities, supported the resolution because the
‘groups are “socially limiting and misteading.”* She
said she feels that there are rare instiinces in which
the function had a positive influence on the frater-
nity chapters.
The resolution stated that the little sister groups
“are not desirable adjuncts” to the college fraterni-
ty system and that they “inhibit the accomplish-
ment of chapter goals.”?
It further stated that the groups “‘divert resources
of time, effort, and money” and that they “‘weaken
the bonds of brotherhood” while serving to
“undermine the entire Greek system.’*

While animals used for scien-
tific research projects are at times
sucjected to. great pain, the:con-
sensus of a variety of speakers at
SUNYA this weekend seemed to
be that’ research’ is neither im-
moral nor inappropriate.
“We have to approach the mid-
dle ground, discussing the ethical
considerations of animal rights,”*
said Gerald Tannenbaum, a
lawyer in the Veterinary Medicine
department at Tufts University.
Tannenbaum was the first of
five lecturers speaking on Animal
Welfare and Animal Research,
the first symposium the. Nor-
theastern Regional Meeting of the
Animal behavior Society, held at
SUNYA this past weekend. Bach
speaker recognized the need to
protect animals while continuing
academic and scientific research.
“The whole notion of animal
welfare is synonymous with
preventing unnecessary pain and
suffering,” said Tannenbaum.
But, it is not necessarily true to

The final eyent,,of the day
will be held at 7 p.m. in Page
Hall on the downtown Draper
Campus, and will be a panel
discussion entitled “‘Living and
Moving Safely Off Campus.”
According to Donahue, the
focus of the discussion will be
“basically on how to secure
dwellings off campus.””
Donahue said the discussion
“will be open to the communi-
ty” and will be held downtown
“to attract more of the off
campus community.”*
‘The panel discussion will be
moderated by Albany: Alder-

According to Donahue, the

quite possibly deal with a more

believe that “if we anesthesize the
animals, anything goes,” he
added.
The scientific community is
challenged by ethical
philosophers,. ‘‘who say there's
‘no moral grounds for research at
all,”” Tannenbaum said.
“Pain and suffering (suffered
by animals) is often a conse-
uence od intent by researchers,”*
said SUNYA Psychology Pro-
fessor Gordon Gallup, Jr. “The
absence of intent won't change
the pain,” he added.
“Greater gains for animal
welfare could be gained by plac-
ing of standards to all treatment
of animals," said gallup. He il-
lustrated this by saying that sub-
jecting rats to electric shocks
wasn’t any worse than declawing
cats. y
“My purpose is to investigate
the logic and particular priorities
of anti-vivisectionists,”” who are
opposed to animal research, said
Gallup. “Pain and suffering oc-
cur all the time naturally.
Animals in taboratories are fed
better, better cared for and kept
from suffering more than’ many
humans,’ he said.
“Of all the animals suffering as
a result of humans, animal
research is the only One that often
helps, the animals, as well as
humans,” Gallup said, ““Anti-
Viviseétionists put too much em-
phasis on pain, he saidm adding
that “‘pain isn’t an ariimals main
interest — survival is.”’ “People”
see painless deaths as better than
forced pain, this is logical [from a
humane point of view) but it is
wrong,” he said,
Randall Lockwood of the
‘Humane Society of America said
he felt that changes in education
were the key to more humane
treatment of research animals.
“Students are taught that science
can stand aloof from ethical con-
siderations . ... ethics aren’t’ in-
tegrated into life science educa-
tion,” he said, “Ethics courses in
veterinary schools are often
ives.”
“'There’s a concept that hands
‘on experience with animals is the
‘best education,” Lockwood said,
adding however, that is ethically
wrong to use animals repetitively
for experiments which always end
in similar results.
“There are many alternatives,"
Lockwood said, noting that in
Britain “‘usinf live animals for
developing manual skilts is ‘for-
bidden, There, students work at
the side of a doctor in surgery.”
‘The nature of the education
system itself is a cause of in-
humane treatment of animals,
said Lockwood, “Students are
taught that animals are tools to be
used up,” he stated, adding
students “are taught to distance
themselves from animals.’’
Students who are ethically oppos-
ed to some experiments are often
viewed as weak, sentimental, uns-
cientific, he said, adding that
“‘this cither chases students from
the field or makes them callous to
suffefing in animals."*
Susan Suarez, from SUNY
‘Oneonta, discussed the possibility
of using alternatives other than
animals as research subjects, but
dismissed most of the choices.
Scientists confrorit welfare of research animals
Plants, computer’ simulations,
and substitution by lower species
have all been suggested, Suarez
said she rejected each of the
proposals.
However, plants will never be
an appropriate replacement,
Suarez said, because “behavior
relies on information process, and
plants lack a nervous sytem and
brain."” Constructing a computer
simulation, she said, “would re-
quire that we know everything
about an animal, and if we knew
that, there would be no need for
research.”
Suarez said she felt that
substituting a lower species
wouldn't make sense because
“among existing species, there's
no such thing as more or less
evolved.”
Suarez asserted that “‘sciebtists
have a right to expect any alter-
native to be as accurate as the cur-
rent one of animals. To do this,
they would have to be checked
against animal research and this
would require that they [animals}
be used.”” o

New grad School
of Public Health.
is only the second in NY State’
By David Spalding
The 2 University and the New York State
Department of Health have combined
their resources to create a new graduate
school of Public Health Sciences at
SUNYA, according to the schools new
dean, David Carpenter.
‘The new school received approval froni
the Governor’s office in June and by.
September 1986 over twenty classes will be
offered.
‘Two students are already enrolled in the
program, which will offer both masters
and doctoral degrees in Environmental
Health and Toxicology, and it is expected
that over thirty students will be enrolling
next semester.
Carpenter said he hopes the program
will expand with new courses in biology
statistics, epidemiology, social medicine
and public health administration. He add-
ed that he had received over three hundred
requests for applications.
What makes the program unique, said
Carpenter, is that very few additional
resources were required to sét it up. Most
of the faculty are employed by the State
Department of Health and already have
their salaries paid by that department, said
Carpenter,
‘According to Carpenter, the faculty is
ule from the “enthusiastic and highly
lified”” staffs of the Department of
Health, The Albany Medical College, The
Veterans Administration_Mé | Center _ the field of neurosi logy.
Meet the Candidates Night packs
in politicians but only 70. students
By Olivia Abel
‘our vote counts": was incumbent
District Attorney Sol Greenberg’s
message to the students Sunday at
“Meet the Candidates Night,”” which
was held in the Campus Center
Ballroom,
‘That message was echoed by many of
the other 24 local candidates running in
Tuesday's election who appeared at the
event.
According to Stephanie Kay, vice-
chair of Student Action Committee,
almost all of the candidatesalso touched
‘on the importance of increased student-
community interaction,
Student Action Committee Chair
Larry Hartman opened the program by
reminding the audience that this is the
second year in a row the University's
students have led the nation in register-
ing to vote, He then turned the
microphone over to Kay who introduced
the candidates, each of whom spoke to
the students for approximately two
minutes.
Democratic incumbent Mayor
‘Thomas Whalen told the small audience
of about 70 that “the Democrats in
Albany have established a reputation to
be proud of, certainly one that students
can be proud of."*
Whalen pointed out that he has work-
ed together with University President
Vincent O'Leary to lobby for additional
student housing and adds that he wants
“a symbolic relationship between
government and universities.”
Whalen's opponent, Lewis Russo, did
not attend the event.
Nick Collucio, a Democrat running
for re-election to the board of alders
from the 15th ward said, "*We are look-
ing for better housing for students and
we can do this by working together."
As much as SO percent of the ISth
ward is composed of SUNYA students,
because the uptown campus is part of
the ward,
Collucio's opponent, Republican
Richard Barrett, told the audience,
‘students are not second class citizens.
They can make a big difference.”
The speeches were followed by a wine
and cheese reception in which students
were free to talk with the candidates on
Hartman also expressed disappoint-
and University science faculty. Carpenter
said he believes that the solid reputation of
the mew program has already been
established because of the excellent reputa-
tion of the faculty. SUNY A now joins Col-
umbia University as the only school in the
state that offers graduate studies in public
health science, he added.
‘The new school will serve the fiterests of
both SUNYA and the Department’ of
Health, said Carpenter. The school will
benefit from the program because it will
attract more students and the Department
of Health will benefit by-training a pool of
potential scientists and lab technicians.
Carpenter stressed that participants in
the program will gain real experience by
researching at the Department of Health
and added that there is an abundance of
Jobs in the field.
DThe new school has been discussed for
years but it wasn’t until Carpenter arrived
in Albany in 1980, That discussion turned
to action, he said, Carpenter, with the
assistance of Warren Iichman, Provost of
the Rockefeller College of Public and
Policy, organized the school and presented
it to the Governor for approval,
Carpenter, who is the first dean of the
new school, spent five and a half years as
Director of Laboratories for the Depart-
ment of Health. Before coming to Albany
he worked for the federal government and
has done much of his personal research &
a one to one basis. Kay said that she was
a little disappointed in student turnout
and hoped that it wouldn’t be a
foreshadowing of voter turnout at the
polls on Tuesday,
She did, however, say she was very
pleased with the number of candidates
who attended, ‘It showed that they felt
it was important enough to come up
here to speak to students," she said,
“Students are not
second-class citizens.
They can make a
big difference.’

ment with student turnout, but said that
he feels those students who did attend
did not waste their time,
Kiel Atlas, a 1984 SUNYA graduate?
said, ‘‘It was a good idea as a whole. It
ives the people a chance to meet the
candidates of they don’t have the time
to watch the news, Bringing the can-
didates up to the campus, iS a great
idea.”
Tommy Szezesniak said he attended
because he was curious, “If you are go-
ing to run it is based on appearance, per-
sonality, and how interested you seem.
Some speakers didn’t feel that it was im-
portant to be here and the way they
spoke reflected this,"
“It was remarkable that all these can-
lates came to SUNY," stated Mark
Rivers, a central council member who
added, ‘It shows that they have a ge-
nuine interest i the school.”
Bett Ginzburg, Program Director for
SA, said “it was an extremely well-run
event, the only problem being the ex-
treme evidence of student apathy, It was
wonderful to see all the candidates take
time out of thelecampalgniig schedule
to come to SUNY."

maintenance of the elevators on
the quads. “Irwin elevators had
the lowest bid and therefore
received the annual contract,’
said Plant Superintendent Donald
von Linden. Irwin replaces Otis
elevators, which had previously
held the contract.
“The contract,'* said von
Linden, “‘includes emergency
repairs, maintenance, and
cosmetic pkeep - which means the
replacing of floor tiles and
general appearance of the
elevators.””
Although Irwin has been
awarded the contract, not all the

the elction. ‘*This summer we put
address labels on after we got the
addresses from thé Office of
Residential Life," said Hartman,
adding that only about 10 percent
of those registered to vote on
campus actually voted.
“Those who got out to vote
were enthusiastis and they wanted
to make their vote count,"’ he
said, adding a lot of those from
Colonial and Dutch weren't
voting for the first time.
The polls were open from 6
a.m, to 9 p.m, Students on State
Quad voted in the quad flagroom.
Students on Indian Quad and
parts of Dutch Quad voted at the
gym, while the rest of Dutch
Quad and all of Colonial Quad
voted at the Thruway House on
Washington Avenue. SA used
avan to shuttle students to and
from their polling place.
“If the university were closed
on Election Day, there would be
‘no nore. voting, said Hartman,
adding ‘we concentrated our ef-
fort for the evening when students
are out of class."”
“Surprisingly,’ off-campus
students. I spoke to tended to
vote, at least in higher percen-
tges,"” he noted. “‘I guess it’s
because there's more of a fecling
of being ¢ resident of Albany even
though it is a little more
inconvenient." _
Don Smirti, a junior at
S'INYA who lives on Indian
Quad said he voted out of civic
duty, and said he feels that
ple who don’t vote are slime, It
doesn't matter where you vote, as
long as you vote and vote for
somebody. There’s no excuse for
not voting,” he said,
“1 voted in the. gym and it
wasn’t overcrowded,"” he con-

elevators on. campus and we will
determine what renovations are
needed," He said, "I feel the
elevators are in good condition
and are working at their best.’”
Von Linden noted that van-
dalism accounts for much of the
repair work undertaken each
year, He said, “there is a certain
amount of vandalism and that
why we are considering these im-
provements. I feel the students
would treat the elevators better if
they were in better condition.”*
“An extremely rough estimate
of how much repair is due to van-
dalism would be in the
neighborhood of 50 percent) he
said,
The figure only pertains to the
elevators in the dorms, however.
::The actual damage ranges from
kicked in panels to burned but-
tons,” said von. Linden. ‘We
would like to reduce this figure
and this year has shown a noticed
decline even though it is relatively
carly in the school year. It is a
welcomed improvement."”
Students generally do not seem
satisfied with the elevators and
their maintenance. Robin Cohen,
a first year student who lives on
the 10th floor of Dutch Tower
stated “I don’t even use the
elevators in the morning because I
don’t have time to wait, 1 don’t
think three elevators are sufficient
to begin with and when. one
breaks down, it makes the pro-
blem even worse."
Steve Mesulam, another resi-
dent of Dutch Quad said, “The
elevators are definitely not work-
ing at their best. They (elevators)
sometimes cause me to be late for
class and that’s why I don’t use
them’ when’ I’m in a hurry.””
Stuyvesant tower resident Beth
Shevell added, “They could be
working better than they are now.
Itis so aggravating. I use them all
the time and I sometimes have to
wait for 15 minutes."”
When asked if she thought
renovations might decrease van-
dalism, she said, “it might, but
you can’t be sure. Some students
‘would abuse the elevators no mat-
ter what they looked like."”
‘When an elevator breaks down,
the power plant is notified, which
in turn contacts Irwin Elevators.
A repairman is dispatched who
reports back on arrival and
complation.
Von Linden said, ‘So far this
service has been fine, but I will be
keeping a close watch to deter-
mine whether the work is satisfac-

Funding disputes plague two campus papers
Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Student
groups at two schools are moving to im-
pose tighter restrictions on their ‘campus
papers, largely in response to normal
operating procedures,
While student papers in the past have
lurched into trouble on many campuses for
publishing deliberately-provocative
material, newspapers at Notre Dame and
North Carolina-Chapel Hill recently have
attracted controversy while following nor-
mal operating procedures,
Student politicians at Notre Dame got
angry when The Observer raised its adver-
tising rates, and some UNC students were
enraged when The Daily Tar Heel printed,
amid other quotes, Friedrich Nietzsche's
assertion that ‘“God is dead."*
‘At UNC, dissidents sought to strip the
paper of student fee funding. “It gave me
somewhat of a jolt that someone would cut
off the student voice,” recalled Arne
Rickert, The Tar Heel’s co-editor.
Rickert .said” the student’ religious
group’s attempt to end mandatory student
fee funding for the paper is “ironic. They
would cut off the paper that has covered
them.””
Notre Dame student President Bill Hea-
ly said he only wants The Observer to open
its books to the public,
“We think the books should be open,”*
Healy said, “We spend about $100,000 of
the students’ money on The Observer. It's
only fair.”
The Observer irritated student govern-
ment leaders when it raised its ad rates

crease was necessary.
But editor Sarah Hamilton refused to
open the paper's books to the politicians,
reasoning it could set’ précedent for later
exerting editorial control over the paper.
“{ don’t want them to determine editorial
policy,” Hamilton said.
She added, ‘we are already accountable
to the students through the
administration.”
Nevertheless, about 80 percent of the
students surveyed by the student govern-
ment think the paper should open its
books.
Healy also found that, of nearby papers
with ad rates comparable to The Observer,
six of seven did not get any student funds.
Bus changes sought

of research will have to be done to find out
when the demand for the buses will be the
largest.
‘The meeting with Stevens was very suc-
cessful, Hartman said, ‘“We went into the
meeting and it was a very productive
meeting. Dennis Stevens had an open mind
about the situation and was very courteous
and sincere,"” he said, ::1 have every reason

Lambda Peers offer help by listening
in matters concerning homosexuality
By Ellen, Schwartz
‘On this.campus, there must be at least 1500
students who are gay or lesbian. If you know ten
people the chances are you know someone who's
gay: Maybe you’re wondering about gay men and
lesbians in general.
‘Where can you go to find out about gay men and
women at SUNYA? There's the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance, but perhaps the thought

be of interest to you. 4
‘The Lambda Peers are a group Majority
of people, sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance, who are available to talk to you on an in-
dividual basis about gay and lesbian issues, If
you're looking for somebody to talk to about being
‘gay-whether you are or not-but you aren't sure you
want to discuss it with your friends, a Lambda Peer
might be able to help. Everything you talk about
with a Lambda Peer will be kept completely con-
fidential. Your name will never be revealed to
anyone-not even another Peer(only your Lambda
Peer will know it).
Before a person becomes a Lambda Peer, he or
she goes through a training program. This twelve
hour course is coordinated by Middle Earth staff
members. Anyone who want to become a Lambda
Peer must attend every training session and
demonstrate that she or he has acquired the
necessary skills to be of help to callers.
The emphasis of the training program is on the
listening skills. Lambda Peers learn to keep their
mouths shut and listen to what you have to say
without cutting you off in mid-sentence.
Unlike the people at Middle Earth, Lambda
Peers will not counsel you. They will meet with you
someplace where you feel comfortable and they will
try to help you identify your concerns. Once you've
figured out what the problem is a Lambda Peer will
not tell you what to do. She or he will help yu ex-
amine your options objectively.
If there are resources in the community that
could be of use to you, a Lambda Peer can point
you in the right direction. Peers are familiar with
the services and activities of the gay and lesbian
community and will refer you to any that would be
beneficial to you
If you'd like to talk to a Lambda Peer, call Mid-
dle Barth at 442-5777. Tell the person who answers,
that you'd like to be referred to Lambda Peers.
You'll be asked to leave your name (you don’t have
to give your last name if you don’t want to) and a
phone number where you can be reached and a Peer
will contact you. Don't worry, nobody will call

student station?
WCDB, 91FM, our campus radio sta-
tion, is running a listeners’ poll of the top
91 rock hits of all time. Take note — this
is a listeners’ poll, not a student poll.
The distinction being made is an impor-
tant one. The students are the people who
pay the station’s bills, more than $40,000
annually. The listeners are the people the
station serves. That is, the estimated 10
percent students and 90 percent communi-
ty members who tune into WCDB regular-
ly. These are the people that WCDB wants
to survey.
The station wants it to be strictly a
listeners’ survey. As one station member
put it, ‘‘Most of our listeners are off cam-
pus and a heavy student vote would dilute
our program.’’ In order to prevent this
from occurring, WCDB is conducting its
poll far away from the campus music
scene. Out of eight polling places, the only
one the station has situated on campus is
tucked away in the record co-op. The rest
are located at various record stores, clubs,
and bars in downtown Albany.
For the students, the majority of whom
are not regular listeners, WCDB en-
courages them to listen to the countdown
itself. The station’s plan is that the count-
down will introduce students to the music
WCDB’s listeners enjoy. Hopefully,
they'll like it enough to tune in again. 4
This is an insult to the students who
fund the station. If WCDB is really seek-
ing to increase its student listenership,
which, as a student funded station it pre-
bably should, students should have been
encouraged to participate. All the students
— not just 10 percent of them.
WCDB is making an unfair assumption
that the survey alone will attract new
listeners. If the majority of the student
population wasn’t surveyed, they
shouldn’t be expected to show their in-
terest in a station that has little interest in
them.
This does not mean that WCDB should
cater to the Top-40 tastes of SUNYA
students; a campus radio station should
provide an alternative to the sugarcoated
music that fills the commercial airwaves.
But that doesn’t give the station the right
to totally turn its back on those who make
the station’s existence possible.
WCDB will also be conducting record
giveaways during the countdown, hoping
that it will drum up their listenership. So
while the station won’t lower itself to ac-
cept the musical opinions of the students,
it will resort to a commercial gimmick to
boost their ratings.
WCDB should be complimented for
backing their loyal listeners in downtown
Albany; gearing the survey to their hard-
core fans serves notice as to which seg-
ment of Albany the station values. That’s
perfect for a station that serves the com-
munity, but WCDB’s community is
SUNY Albany.
The survey could be viewed as a com-
munity service — a $40,000 community
service that doesn’t serve its own
community.

A Struggle to Survive
Remember the Holocaust, that period prior to and dur-
ing World War II in which there was an enormous effort
made to do away with the Jews and other minorities?
Remember how it ended? Of course not, because it never
really ended. Even to this day, there are attempts being
made to extinguish certain minorities. Most of these at-
tempts are coming from Russia, and they are mainly
geared toward the Jews. The only difference between the
form of discrimination today and that of 40 years ago is
that, during World War Il, the Nazis wanted the Jews to
become physically extinct. Today, Russia wishes to make
them emotionally extinct by suppressing their religious
practices, cultural teachings, and anything else that could
relate to their heritage. In effect, life as a Soviet Jew is
unbearable. And should anyone wish to emigrate,
especially to Israel, life can become an absolute hell.
Ina Pollack
‘There are over 110 different nationalities in the Soviet
Union, with Jews ranked among the top 15. All of the
other nationalities are encouraged to exercise their
religious and cultural beliefs. The Jews, however, are not
given this freedom. There are only 3 ordained rabbis in all
of the seminaries except for the one in the Moscow
Synagogue, which has never graduated a rabbi. Use of the
Hebrew language is forbidden, let alone the teaching of
it. There are no publications of Jewish prayer books, and
essential devotional articles such as talitot (prayer shawls)
or tefilin (phylacteries) may not be produced. There are
no Jewish history books. In fact, the Russian history
books devote very little time towards the Judaic culture,
even though the Jews have played an important role in
Russian history for the past 2,000 years. There is not even
a memorial to commemorate the Jews who suffered dur-
ing the Holocaust, whether they suffered because of
discrimination or because they fought to defend Mother
Russia, Also, there are no museums that are exclusively
devoted to the history and culture of the Jews. The Rus-
ian museums will not display any artifacts or works
created by Jewish artists, no matter how great they may
be. It is obvious that the Soviets are making it virtually
impossible for the Jews to hand down remnants of their
past, let alone their present and possible future,
With life being the way it is, it isn’t any wonder that so
many Russian Jews want to leave their country. But, this
could prove to be more difficult than staying and dealing
with an atready intolerable situation. It is the Soviet claim
that anyone who wishes to leave may do so without dif-
ficulty. Actually, members of some national groups have
been allowed, even encouraged, to return to the countries
of their native origins. They are then invited to return
back to Russia at some future date. The Jews, however,
are dissuaded and, should they choose to emigrate
anyway, they are asked to pay a large fee for their ac-
tions. This fee, applies only to those who wish to go to
Israel. Another part of the price that a Jew must pay is
the fact that he must-renounce his citizenship, Then, he
must submit several documents to the government, one of
which is a death certificate, and wait fot them to be ap-
proved. This wait, which is often deliberately extended by
the Soviets, could last for 6 to 9 months. When it is finally
over, the potential emigrant will either be given approval,
be rejected, or be told that he did not submit his
documents properly and will have to begin the process all
over again. In the meantime, he has probably been fired
from his job, and his family and friends have been en-
couraged (or threatened) to either dissuade him from
emigrating or to break any ties they have with him. In ef-
fect, this Jew is now considered an outcast.
‘There are very few Jews who are granted permission to
leave, especially to go to Israel. The vast majority of ap-
plicants who are refused visas (now called ‘‘refuseniks")
are not only left jobless, without family or friends, but
they are now subject to many forms of harrassment by
the police. A refusenik’s mail will be searched, and any
items sent from abroad will be confiscated. the police will
frequently search his home and arrest him on the street
for no apparent reason. If a reason is given, it is usually
fabricated by the enforcers to justify their actions. Usual-
ly, the Jew is detained for a few days upon being arrested.
Sometimes, he is detained indefinitely on charges of
treason. Also, once a refusenik has lost his job, he can
never regain it. He can’t even hope for another job of
equal importance. There have been cases in which a
physician or a scientist has requested to
emigrate and upon refusal, was given the job of a mere
factory worker. In general, once a Soviet Jew becomes a
refusenik, his overall status is reduced.
The grim situation of the Jews in Russia is not
unrecognized. Last year, Secretary of State George P.
Shultz acknowledged that Jewish emigration from the
U.S.S.R. had reached a standstill. He stated that four
Hebrew teachers had been arrested “in what appears to
be an intensifying campaign of repression aimed
specifically at Jewish cultural activists” and that
“Washington would not be silent when the Soviets act in
a way we consider dangerous or irresponsible, as they so
often do in the human rights area’, On September 9,
1985, President Reagan told a Jewish delegation that he
planned to raise the issue of the Soviet Jews during his
meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev in
November. Even though the people who have the power
to help are willing to help, they can never have too much
support and encouragement from the rest of the world.
Although this situation does not seem as tragic as the
Holocaust, it can become just as bad. It is vitally impor-
tant that everyone be aware of what is going on and that
enough people care to do something about it. If there is
ignorance or apathy toward the situation in Russia,
events could explode into such vast discrimination as has
not been seen in 40 to 50 years. Just rememiber, it happen-
ed before; we should not let it happen again.

Open the gates
To the Editor:
I find it very annoying that Burt Sorenson’s lecture is
still stirring in the minds of people, but I can live with
this. However, what I cannot live with is the self-
righteous, narrow-minded and discrimatory attitude that
certain ‘good Christians” hold towards people who
don’t subscribe to their faith.
Let-us remember, first and foremost, that before we
quote the Bible, we must remember not to quote out of
context as Mr. Dale and Mr. Hazelton have done so ar-
tistically. They have made a weak intellectual argument
sound strong.
If I am to be condemned to Hell, God will condemn
me, not a man or a book written by men. The Bible is
open to many interpretations and what man dares to set
himself up as an authority. Mr. Hazelton and Mr. Dale
have appointed themselves as authorities. I do not think
that my fate has anything to do with their judgemental
interpretations.
I hope that everyone will read the Bible, both the Old
Testament and New Testament, with an open mind, Do
not commit the same error of self-righteous, narrow-
minded interpreting as Mr. Dale and Mr. Hazelton have.
We should read and interpret the Bible with both our
hearts and our minds and no one should be shut out.

Yellow journalism
To the Editor:
The ASP should stop printing anti-Jewish articles
designed to attract attention. A single article could be
considered a mishap or just bad reporting. Yet, there has
been a trend of these articles. First, the ASP quoted out
of context that Jews are doomed to Hell. Then, the editor
attacked the wording of a single RZA handout, even
though she agreed with its basic premise (that terrorists
such as Arafat, Kaddafi, Amin and Khomeni should be
denounced). The editor used this handout merely as
excuse to pile negative adjectives in front to the “RZA‘

unAmerican acts.
A cartoon on the same page was in bad taste by show-
ing Arab terrorism and Jewish retaliation to be as similar
as ‘‘the chicken and the egg.” However, it did in fact at-
tract much attention from angry Jews on campus. Ms.
Editor, terrorists aim at innocent civilians, retaliators aim
at military targets. They are not the same. To answer the
question “‘which came first” — terrorists murdered 3 in-
nocent Israeli civilians on a yacht in Cyprus before
Israelis destroyed the PLO military HQ in Tunis. Of
course, when terrorists killed an innocent American crip-
ple aboard the Achille Lauro, no one denied America the
right of retaliation. Can the ASP justify this double stan-
dard against Israel?
If the ASP is to be taken seriously (seriously enough to
endorse candidates and referenda), then it must be fair to
all minorities on campus, not just its favorites. If the ASP
wants interesting stories, then publish an article on one of
the many newsworthy Jewish activities on campus (like a
speech from an Israeli delegate to the UN). The ASP
doesn’t need to retort to yellow journalism.

Woman’s place
To the Editor:
“My wife, I'll think I'll keep her.” How many of us
remember that famous commerical, in which the husband
objectifies his wife so that the American public would be
convinced of buying Geritol vitamins. His point was that
his wife was a good possession because she used Geritol,
which made her strong and healthy enough to cook, clean
and make sure he didn’t have ring around the collar.
This commercial and thousands like it all serve the pur-
pose of perpetrating sexism within our society. After
reading this, many may be thinking, “Oh come on, it’s
only a commercial.” Yet if we stop to think, it is only
natural that living in the consumer oriented society that
we do, these adverisements, given their importance to our
patterns of consumption, have a profound impact on the
way society defines women and their roles
Furthmore, considering how much sex and violence is
used to sell a whole range of products from toothpaste to
sparkplugs, it is no wonder that 1 out of every 3 women
will be raped in their lifetime, Moreover, if we look at the
frequent use of children as sex objects in commercials, we
may begin to understand why so many children are vic-
tims of child molesters.
Sex and violence are not the only problems within our
media, The encouraged role of women as housewives and
the lack of attention paid to women in careers adds to the
common stereotype that ‘the women’s place is in the
home." If the woman is seen as a career woman, she must
be able to “bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and
never, never let him forget he's a man.’
In addition, the discouragement of maturity in women,
and the encouragement of competition between them,
also may add to women perpetrating and assisting in their
own degradation.
Whether you agree with the assertion that the media is
one major source of sexism in our society or not, I urge
you to attend ‘The Naked Truth,” an illustrated lecture
by Jean Kilbourne, on Monday, November 11th at 7:30
p.m., in the Campus Center Ballroom. Tickets are $2 and
they go on sale at 7:00 p.m. on Monday night. This event
will raise these issues and others and hopef
discussion of the role of women in the media and how it
relates to sexism.

Dirty business
To The Editor:
Recently, and in past semesters, there have been stories
in the ASP about alledged stealing of tests, and cheating
on exams in the School of Business.
1am a Political Science major, and in my field, such a
tions are virtually unknown,
Letters to the Editor on the subject have emphasized
the pressure for good grades in the School of Business to
explain why this behavior occurs. It is said that the
students with the highest grades get the best jobs. (In
business, this seems to mean the most money).
I wish to submit an alternative theory. It is this: the
cheating, stealing and lying in the Business School is not
abberent behavior. It is part of their education.
If one d learn to cheat, steal and lie, one cannot
expect the jobs in business. This is training for the
business world, We might call it Management 101, Screw-
ing the other guy — How can students who expect to
screw the other guy after graduation be expected to carn
their grades in the university, and not steal them as in the
business world?
Thus I, with my tongue firmly in my cheek, not only
dismiss the cheating, stealing, etc. as not academicly
. if
principles (sic) of business, and as accurate manifestation
of what such study is all about.

Survival swindle
This letter is in response to Jim Thompson's article
about the Survival Game tournament held in Pittsfield,
Massachusetts. ‘Survival Game reps organize to lure col-
lege players nationwide” certainly was an appropriate ti-
tle, You see, all of us were misinformed.
First of all, the fourteen dollars did not include the bus
trip to Pittsfield, That was three dollars extra. Secondly,
the advertising flyer announced “‘barbeque,"” which turn-
ed out to be poor quality hamburger and hot dogs fried
‘on an indoor restaurant grill. This is no barbeque. These
refreshments were supposed to be available ‘‘at cost,”” as
told to a member of our team at the planning meeting
How come Waist Watcher soda is 4/88 cents in the super-
market and 50 cents a can at the game? Off-brand soda is
not beer. No beer was sold to students at any time or even
made available to us.
We had a fantastic time playing survival, Our team
made it to the finals. Everyone was excited to return next
weekend. Then, we found out we would have to pay an
additional ten dollars each, Why? Two hundred dollars
per team is a lot of money. We also would have to pay
three more dollars each for the bus. We would be forced
to eat that “‘barbeque"’ again and pay for it. In addition
to these costs, extra rounds of ammunition would have to
be purchased for $2.50 each, The game ends up costing
outrageous amounts of money as most use 3 rounds of
ammo.
We never were told there would be an additional fee for
the finals. Most tournaments have one fee. The winners
continue; the losers drop out. Why then do we have to
pay ten more dollars? Someone is making big money off
this deal, We cannot play in the finals unless our team
gives the investors two hundred dollars. This is totally
unfair,
So let all of Albany State be aware of the real facts of
the survival game: It is very expensive, it hurts a lot when
the pellet hits you (bad bruises and cuts were received by
many players). Much stress is experienced during the
game. There are lots of hidden fees that you are not being
told about. There is no barbeque. The food and soda are
not available at cost. There is no beer available. The game
is a lot of fun and we really had a great time. It is unfor-
tunate that false advertising and misinformation had to
spoil it for us,

Keep quad clean
To the Edito
We are a group of concerned students, who are
residents of Mohawk Tower on Indian Quad. We are
disgusted with the sight and smell of the elevators every
Sunday morning.
Everyone likes to have fun on the weekends, but having
a party in the elevators is too much! Every Sunday it is the
same thing: soda cans, beer, pizza boxes and other
undesirable odors — we think you know what we mean.
However, nothing was worse that this weekend — there
were thousands of feathers thrown into the elevator. For
those of us with allergies it was a ride into Hell!
Please, please, let's try to keep the elevators a little
cleaner on the weekends . . . and to those responsible for
the feathers — our allergist thanks you, but we certainly
don't.

Food for profit
To the Editor
1am writing to you about the recent plan to give up
‘one’s UAS dinner on Friday, October 25 to help the ear-
thquake stricken victims of Mexico. Fuerza Latina has
done a terrific job in trying to raise money for the relief
effort underway in that country, as many organizations
are doing across the U.S. to help our Southern neighbors.
However, it makes me cringe to think that from all this
goodwill and charity, United Auxiliary Services is
donating only $1.50 for every meal given up by the
students. I know that our meals are worth more than: that.
Why can’t UAS donate the full cost of the meal we paid
for to voluntarily give up? UAS is making a profit off of
the charity involved in the relief effort! I think that is
highly unfair, Afterall, UAS made a large profit last years
alone and we're not getting any better quality of food for
it, Now, they're making a profit off of the Mexican peo-
ple's misfortune, That-isjdisgraceful. Tell me, did. UAS,
also make a profit when we gave up our meals last year to
help the starving of Ethiopa?

Reports of increased support for
black colleges found misleading
Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The U.S.
Dept. of Education's recent report that
jthe administration has increased its sup-
port of biack. colleges significantly is
misleading, according to black college
In late August, the department an-
nounced the federal government gave the
nation’s predonimantly-black . colleges
some $620.6 million in 1984, an increase of
$14 million over 1983 and $75.8 million
since 1981.
But the increasesc black education
leaders said, don’t make up for broad cuts
in other areas like student aid, and haven’t
stopped black colleges’ recent fiscal crises
from worsening.
“Kids have been losing a lot of grants.
We have heard a lot of horror stories. On
the other hand, the schools are getting
more money, but that mostly helps the
profs and graduate students,” said James
Borders, editor of the Black Collegian.
“If you look at the (proposals for) pro-
grams that benefit minorities in his
(Reagan) original budget for 1985, you can
see he is not a strong supporter of black
colleges,"” said Mike Reed, an aide to Rep.
William Gray (D-Pa.).
In that budget, Reagan proposed
abolishing Graduate Professional Oppor-
tunity Grants’ aimed 6 help minority
students, Reed said.
The administration aLSO wanted to

“1 don’t think this is a feasible policy
at all,"” said Abelow. ‘We believe that
bulk ‘containers should ‘be allowed,”
said Abelow,. adding that ‘Student
Association feels the policy is a violation
of the rights of students who are 21
years of age or older and living on
campus."”
Phil Botwinick, who also served on
the ‘Implementation of 21" Committee
said that “‘as long as the alcohol bulk
containers are legally purchased, the
University should have no say in who is
involved in the consumption of it.””
“The administration should keep in
mind the difference between the 21 pur-
chase age and the consumption age.
This is an important factor in any deci-
sion they make about the bulk container
policy,” said Botwinick.
“The University should not extend
their policy beyond the limits of the
law,”” he added.
‘While this may seem like a step
towards a dry campus, we will never
have a dry campus,” said Steve Gawley,
SA President. ‘‘That’s an
impossibility."
“We have to be serious about this,"
said Pogue. “We have a law that the
governor has signed into action; a law
which states that persons under the age
halve the TRIO program, which grants
money to ‘‘disadvantaged” students. Con-
gress, however, ultimately increased TRIO
funding.
The administration’s $14 million black
college increase ‘‘is really symbolic,” said
Arnold Mitchem of the National Council
of Educational Opportunity Associations.
“You really cannot be helping out black
colleges when you cut aid by such a
degre
‘The notion the administration has cut
funding of black colleges is not true, said
Sharon Messinger of the Education Dept.
She said various increases in federal stu-
dent aid programs also have helped black
students and, by extension, the black
students who attend predominantly-black
colleges.
‘Approximately 85. percent of the
students at black colleges — of which there
are about 112 — have received some type
of aid, Mitchem said.
Of the, additional black college funds,
moreover, about. 25 percent went to
Howard University in Washington D.C.,
explained Joyce Payne, director of the Of-
fice for the Advancement of Public Black
Colleges.
The picture for black schools looks dim,
Fewer than half the 264 black colleges
open in 1974 are still around today, said
Craig Shelton, president of the National
Organization of Black University and Col-
lege Students. oO

ticipate in any wai'In' the consumption
of alcohol.””
‘According to the way the Residence
license is written,” said Gawley, “it is
within the rights of the university to for-
mulate a policy such as this."”
“«No student is being denied the right
to have alcohol in their suite or rooms,"
stated Pogue. ‘We're simply trying to
remove the temptation to
overconsume.’"
“A ban on bulk containers is clearly
an infringement of students rights,”
said Botwinick. “A student's room on
campus is his or her home, and an in-
dividual shouldn't have his private life
regulated if it is not disruptive to those
around him,” he added.
“4In this case, the relationship bet-
ween the university and students is a
landlord-tenant relationship,” said
Gawley. “We are certainly fighting to
keep bulk containers,” he said.
“Approved parties in approved areas
will continue,” said Pogue. “We're
simply trying’ to keep a limit o the
amount of alcohe! consumed in rooms
and suited,”” he added.
Nancy Perrotta, a 21-year-old Indian
Quad resident, said she is opposed to the
rposed ban. “I don't feel that the
University is an entity in itself that can
impose such regulations,"” she said,

Errors in GSL awards persist with new system
preliminary results of the GAO fers voluntary workshops to train
Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The
Education Department's attempts
to reduce the number of mistakes
in Gyaranteed Student Loan
(GSL) awards aren't making
much headway, authors of a
recently released federal audit
say.
General Accounting Office
(GAO) auditors said the error rate
in the GSL program“is probably
about as high today as during the
1982-83 school year, when aboiit
13 percent of GSL funds went to
students who didn’t qualify for as
much loan money as they
received.
At the time, the | shocked
Reagan Administration vowed to
stop giving out too much money
in the program, installing an
elaborate new checking pro-
cedure. But the new procedure
isn’t working, the GAO said in its
report.
The GAO found the procedure
had saved about $22 million, but
has cost about $23 million.
‘The process of checking for er-
rors, moreover, has itself delayed
making awards to about a third of
the students receiving GSL loans,
the auditors said. The delays, in
turn, forced thousands of
students to borrow funds from
other sources, or reduce class
loads, the auditors added.
Some congressmen said the
stubbornly high error rate~and
increasing concern over what is
widely viewed as the high rate at
which college graduates default
on their fedevally-guaranteed
loans--make it hard to push bills
to raise loan limits :hrough
Congress.
In their report, dated
September 27, the GAO auditors
said the government could cut the
error rate faster by training cam-
pus financial aid officers better.
In response to the -study,
Education Department officials
said they already have been im-
plementing many of the GAO's
‘suggestions.
The GAO auditors said the
department still hasn’t done
enough.
‘The audit was performed at the
request of Sen, Paul Simon (D-
Illinois), who asked the GAO to
study the department's efforts to
validate the accuracy’ of GSL
awards made by college officials.
Education department officials
were at the time reviewing about
two-thirds of all GSL. gwards.
They found that, during the
1982-83 year, about 61 percent of
all GSL awards were correct by $2
or more, 40 percent were off by at
least $100.
The 61 percent error rate is a
decline from 71 percent in
1980-81, but, according to one
department official, is still
“Substantial.”
All told, students improperly
were receiving about $319 million
in loans, about 13 percent.of the
total loan funds available,
“It is amazing to me we have a
$300 million-plus error when we
are sitting around trying to figure
‘out where we are going to get
more money for the program,”
Rep. Thomas Coleman (R-
Missouri) said in June when the
‘audit were

Foreign student enrollment in U.S. falls
due to climb in value of American dollar
New York, N.Y.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — A dramatic decline
in the number of Iranian students and the high
value of the American dollar slowed the increase
in foreign student enrollment on U.S. campuses
last year, a new census by the Institute for Inter-
national Education (IIE) said.
“It's basically money. With the value of the
dollar, the U.S. is about as expensive as
anywhere," said John Reichard of the National
Association of Foreign Student Affairs in
Whashington, D.C. “In view of the cost, it’s
amazing there has not been a drop.
Some state schools — such the Texas
system, long a leader in recruiting foreign
students — have raised their out of state tuition
rate, making them less attractive to foreign
students.
Nevertheless, 342,113 forcign students enrolled
in American colleges in 1984-85, less than a one
percent increase from the previous year, the IIE’s
Mary L, Taylor said.
During the foreign student boom of the seven-
ties, annual increases reached 10 percent a year,
More than $0,000 students from Iran were stu-
dying in the United States during 1980.
‘As of 1984-85, only 16,640 Iraniuns were
enrolled U.S. colleges, the institute found.
While the oil glut has slowed the flow of
foreign students from other OPEC countries,
too, the IIE founda continuing increase of
students fram South and East Asia.

to the United States. There were 22,590
‘Taiwanese in U.S, schools last year, slightly more
than the number of students from Malaysia.
Data show Asian students, who traditionally
have made up the largest portion of foreign
students in the United States, have replaced Mid-
dle Eastern students as the fastest growing group
as-well.
“The continued growth of Pacific Rim
students is due to the strong economy there, and
there is a lot of government support in those
countries for sending students abroad,’
Reichard explained,
Foreign students tended to take engineering
programs most often, followed by business and
management, mathematics, computer sciences,
and physical and life sciences, the institute said.
Many of them, moreover, are graduate
students, In fact, one of every three students at-
tending U.S. grad schools is foreign-born,
Reichard noted. Grad schools have become so
dependent on foreign student they can't afford to
give up their aggressive recruiting efforts
overseas, he added.
Some American universities are even planning
to set up foreign extension branches to help them
woo students abroad. But those efforts couldn't
overcome the economic factors slowing the rate
of foreign student enrollment here.
Reichard speculated about 80,000 to 85,000
foreign students are studying in colleges in the
Soviet Union, less than a fourth the number in

Fear of AIDS sparks antagonism toward gays
Fayetteville, Arizona
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Soon after 4
psychologist Visited the University. of
‘Arkansas campus last Spring to urge that
gays be quarantined to stop the spread of
AIDS, Gay Pride Week in Fayetteville
became an unusually traumatic episode,
Members of gay and lesbian groups were
verbally assaulted in letters and newspaper
advertisements, and threatened with a
makeshift bomb that fizzled before its
makers could detonate it properly.
“It made us nervous because they were
so loud and so adamant,"’said Linda
Lovell, an officer of the university's gay
and lesbian group. ‘There's no question
AIDS is being used as an excuse to mask
hatred of gays,"” she said.
While campuses never have been very
friendly to gay groups--heterosexual
students, administrators and even state
legislators in Oklahoma, Texas,
Washington, D.C., Maryland and other
places regularly have tried to ban or hob-
ble the groups--college medical officials
said intensified anti-gay activity is likely to
be one of the first signs AIDS hysteria has
spread to campuses.
It could get worse, if AIDS (aquired im-
mune deficiency syndrome) becomes
widespread in the heterosexual communi-
ty. Most health officials noted that,
statistically, every college campus in the
United States soon can expect to have at
least one student, teacher or administrator
with AIDS,
‘And many said that without preventive
measures, it’s only a matter of time until
the hysteria now swirling around primary
and secondary schools precedes the disease
to colleges.
A number of national higher education
groups already are trying to fashion
guidelines for coping with the disease and
the fears surrounding it.
“It’s going to depend on the extent of
the educational efforts made by institu-
tions," said Dr. Richard Keeling of the
University of Virginia medical center,
chair of an AIDS task force established by
the American College Health Association.
“If college officials take a narrow
perspective and make little in the way of an
educational effort, rumors and discontent
will fester,”” Keeling warned, “‘and col-
leges will get swept along in the same AIDS
hysteria that affects other segments of
society,””
Experts fear a massive disruption of col-
lege life: students fleeing dorms, teachers
insisting their offices be moved far from
colleagues with the disease, students refus-
ing to take classes taught by AIDS victims.
Keeling said in the dozen or so cases in
which administrators have had to deal with
AIDS victims, they have responded
correctly.
But Lovell thinks Arkansas officials
were part of the problem.
“Our administration does not feel any
ethical or moral need to provide informa-
ion on AIDS or to make public comment
when others spread false information,”
she complained, ‘They let a speaker who
calls for the quarantine of gays come to
campus, and they don’t say a word about
Pe
Dr. Robert Wirag, director of the
university's health center, said his staff
was prepared to respond to inquiries about
AIDS, But he said it would have been a
mistake to make an unsolicited public
presentation at the time. “If we had, we
would have poured more fuel on that
emotionally-charged fire,’ he said.
Lovell, however, noted the uproar
dissipated after state health officials held a
press conference in Fayetteville and brand-
ed the anti-gay rhetoric false and irrespon-
sible. “That took a lot of the arguments
away from the anti-gay crowd," Lovell
said,
AIDS fears apparently also. prompted
onlookers at a University of Texas parade
last spring to. verbally assault and pelt gay
marchers with beer bottles, rocks and
garbage.
“The violence was justified,””'a liberal
arts major subsequently wrote to the UT
student newspaper. ‘At least grecks give
aid to the community instead of AIDS.”
But Keeling said he hopes college of-
ficials can repeat their recent success in
calming fears about herpes. “At one
time,”” he said, “people thought herpes
was the end of the world.”” 7
“But if it appears that (AIDS) is seeping
into the heterosexual population, then
we're going to see some real problems on
college campuses,”’ predicted Dr. Kevin
Patrick, director of the student health
center at San Diego State.
Additionally, students living in close
dorm quarters may be more frightened of
catching the disease. '

with the students and I speak with the pro-
fessor involved and in the past I have
found that we have always been able to
come to some optimal arrangement,” he
said.
Jenkins said that if students are not
satisfied the results obtained at a
departmental level, they sould then contact
Hamilton.
According to Hamilton, two complaints
have been brought to his attention this
semester. ‘I have received on complaint
about the math department: and I have
received one comiplaffit about the exam.
fiasco about FIN 300 and those are the on-
ly two academic complaints I have received
this semester,"” he said. Hamilton added
that his office ‘usually receives two or three
academic complaints per semester.
‘The university administration can quick-
ly become involved in a complaint initiated
by a student, Hamilton said. ‘It gets up
Decisions. about letting AIDS victims
live in dorms should be made on a case-by-
case basis, members of the task force Keel-
ing heads said int « preliminary statement
issued last month.
There’s no need to isolate afflicted
teachers, either. There is no medical
reason to keep professors with AIDS from
teaching classes, San Diego State's Patrick
said.
Keeling declined to identify schools
where officials learned they. had students,
faculty or staff who either had or had been
exposed tothe AIDS virus. Between-five
and 20 percent of those who test positive
for the virus later develop the disease.
But a University of Colorado student
was diagnosed as having AIDS several
years ago. The victim soon thereafter was
‘unable to attend class, and died some 20 to
22 months later.
quite fast,” he said. “It goes from the
chairman to about as high as it can go and
if it determined that it is a really serious
problem and maybe the chair recognizes
that it is a serious problem, it is certainly
possible to reassign a faculty member in
the middle of the semester if there is just
an intolerable situation."*
Many complaints result from students
who do not actively listen to a professor's
lecture, Hamilton said. “When I lecture, I
say to students, ‘For goodness sakes, if
you don’t understand something, raise
your hand and ask because you probably
aren’t the only one that isn’t understan-
ding,’ but everyone sits back and thinks
they are the-only one,"" he said.
The administration responds to all com-
plaints, regardless of the magnitude of the
particular situation, Hamilton said. “If
there’s only one student complaining in the
course, I can’t assume that’s the only stu-
dent that’s dissatisfied so you have to res
pond to everything,"he said.

Garr shines as raquetball drops two matches
By Rachel Braslow
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
The Albany men’s and
women’s racquetball club
premiered Sunday at RPI in their
first competition with the Eastern
Collegiate Racquetball Associa-
tion, The men’s team lost in
singles and doubles teams com-
petition while the women’s team
was victorious in both, but it
wasn't enough to carry the team
to a combined victory.
For the Danes this is their first
year in the Eastern Collegiate Ra-
quetball Association. The other
members include Binghamton,
West Point, RPI, Providence
College and North Eastern.
Last year they were officially
recognized by SA, but didn’t
receive funding as they do this
year. To. become a member of the
Eastern Collegiate Raquetball
Association they had to play the
teams in five matches last year,
which was considered a trial year.
Garr Thompson, who founded
the club two years ago was the top
seeded player in the inter-
collegiate nationals last year, He
was the sole Albany winner as he
defeated Odell of RPI, 15-12,
15-15,
The other seven Albany singles
players were defeated by RPI's
strong men’s squad. They were
Brian Tollin, Chris Hlavatovic,
John Sayour, Marc Reich, Matt
Blank, Jeff Millman, and Grege
Osinoff.
In women’s singles competition
Albany was victorious in four out
of five matches. Team members
Francine Fudin, Lori Marwald,
Janeen Lima and Carol Collins
raked up wins for Albany. Jen-
nifer Manner was defeated in her
match,
The doubles team of Fudin-
Collins and Marwald-Lima chalk-
ed up points for Albany as well.
“The girl’s did most of the win-
ning for us,"* Club President
John Sayour said, “they all turn-
ed in great performances.”*
‘The men's first doubles team of
Thompson and Tollin was vic-
torious. With the Danes behind
8-9 the Hlavatovic-Reich second
doubles team won the last match
of the night 15-14, 8-15, 11-10in a
tie braker to put the two teams at
nine wins apiece.
RPI won the overall match,
which combined the men’s and
women's scores, 494-453. *Con-
sidering. it was our first league
competition and that we are such
a young team, I'm very happy
with the results,” said Sayour.
The Danes then lost to
Binghamton on Sunday, 12-6.
“They were a lot stronger than
we expected", said Reich.
The Binghamton team
outplayed the Albany team. In
men’s singles competition,
Albany lost seven out of cight
matches, Thompson was the sole
winner.
“The match was a lot closer
than the score reflected,”” Sayour
added,"“There were lots of one
point matches.””
This was detrimental for
Albany as they lost three matches
in 11-10 tiebreakers. If Albany
had won the three ticbreakers,
they would have tied
Binghamton.
In doubles competition, the

One explanation Daitdo offers
is the injuries that have beset his
team, Eight starters, mostly on
offense, have gone down since
opening day.
To shut down ‘Dando's Air-
force’, Ford says that consistent
pressure must be applied to Gen-
tidella. Ford plans on “mixing it
up,” sending a different amount
of rushers on each play.
For Buffalo defensively,
Dando's main concern is shutting
down the wishbone and forcing
Milano to pass. ‘It's always
tough to defend the wishbone,
said Dando. ‘It’s our first op}
tunity to see the damn thing.
Dando feels if his Bulls can get

Sayour added, “‘I think we can

“Albany is tough whe

however, when Russell fumbled
on the next play from scrimmage,

Despite losing three of five
fumbles, Albany's’ wishbone

Hofstra head coach Mickey
Kwiatkowski pointed out the
frustration of combatting the

pen," said Kwiatkowski. ‘Ob-

The Dane defense, led by
Anderson and an emotionally-
charged Denis Murphy at defen-

recording eight sacks and four
interceptions.
“It was a great performance,”
said Ford, ‘I'm just real happy

Survival Game
By Marc Paseltimer
Tt was a cold, blustery morning
as I stepped out of the car, I had
arrived at my destination of Pitt-
sfield, Mass. to take part in a new
kind of adventure. Today was the
day I was to try my luck at the

After getting outfitted, I was ask-
ed to sign a waiver declaring the
organizers of this event unac-
countable for any injury incurred
during the game. What was I get-
ting myself into?
Tt was now time to head out to
the firing range to learn how to
shoot my paint-hurling pistol,
The guide showed me the proper
way to shoot the gun and how to
load and unload the paint cap-
sules which served as ammuni-
tion. These paint-filled capsules
would explode on intpact, leaving
a mark wherever they landed,
My gun was now loaded and it
was time to test it out to ensure
that it was functioning properly.
Tt was also time to see if 1 could
shoot with at least a slight bit of
accuracy. My first two practice
shots were rather wild, but my
third one found its target. I was
beginning to feel ready for battle,
Three teams would be com-
peting today. The team I was on
would be in the first game of the
day. A feeling of nervous excite-
ment entered my body as game
time drew closer,
After the judges explained the
rules of the game to all the teams,
it was time to get down to
business. The judges led us and
the other team out to the playing
area, which consisted primarily of
a leafless forest situated along a
hillside. The team I belonged to
was told to defend at the bottom
of the hill, while the opposing
team was instructed to start at the
top of the hill.

The answers lay only a few
minutes away.
We arrived at our home base
where I surveyed the terrain that
would hold my fate. It being late
fall, most of the trees were devoid
of the foliage so that the area was
comprised of a gray forest with a
brown floor of dry leaves.
Numerous twigs, branches, and
tree stumps also made up the
woody landscape.
The team I was playing for was
divided into three units. Two of
the units would try to capture the
opponent’s flag, while the third
would stay back and defend our
‘own flag. For the first game, I
would be on the offensive.
1, along with several of my
teammates, moved up the left
flank. Keeping our heads down
while manuevering through the
underbrush, we took our posi-

told him I was out of ammo and
suggested a retreat back to our
home base. The enemy was ad-

1 pulled out first and my team-
mate followed.
We ran helter-skelter through
the forest, trying hard to avoid
the many trees and branches in
‘our path. The retreat was a suc-

had captured their flag.

Ruggers take tourney, then bow to Albany Law
By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER
The scrums, hookers, and backs of the
Albany State rugby club are now in
hibernation.
Fall's elegant violence was culminated
with a narrow 6-3 loss to the ruggers of
Albany Law and the winning of the Utica
Club Plattsburgh State Classic the
weekend before, The club finished the fall
season with an overall record of 4-4,
“Things went very well for us in the
tournament,” said president Pat Corrigan.
“We had good ball control and we won a
lot of the scrum-downs."”
The Dane ruggers opened the tourna-
ment with an overpowering 20-0 win over
St. Lawrence.
“St, Lawrence wasn’t good enough to
play the kind of game they tried to play,"
said Corrigan, ‘They: didn’t play ag-
gressively, and they had some guy running
around the field advising everyone, but no
one on their team even knew what he was
talking about.”
‘The Danes wasted no time in getting on
the scoreboard, with Tim Walsh scoring a
try only one minute into the first half.
“We scored on the opening play,”” said
Corrigan, ‘I'd never seen that before.””
‘The Danes then went on to defeat Platt-
sburgh, 10-4, to win the championship,
‘That was really a great game," said
(Sortigan. “Both teams played well, we
ust played better. We had good ball con-
‘rol which let us control the game as a
whole.
According to. Corrigan, senior scrums
Sean Crawford and Eddy Levine made
major contributions to the victory.
“They had a great day running, getting
to the tackles,"" said Corrigan. “We won a
lot of scrumt-clowns close to the goal line.”
‘The championship trophy was given to
enior Phil Segal, who had broken his leg
in the season's earlier game against
Plattsburgh.
The B-side defeated Middlebury, 17-3,
in their opening game, but was defeated by
the Plattsburgh B-side, 18-0, in the second
round.
“The Plattsburgh B-side was basically
guys from their A-side, so it was pretty
much a mismatch,” said Corrigan.
The Dane ruggers had extra incentive to
play well in Saturday's game against

to be a part of the win," said sophomore
Pat Paul.
Munsey's 200th victory sparked a lot of
unexpected publicity.
“I didn’t expect as much publicity as we
received — I was expecting Channel 10 and
the Times Union to cover it, but I didn’t
expect the huge write up in the Troy
Record,"'said Munsey.
The team presented a plaque to Munsey
after the meet, proceeded by a celebration
at Skipper’s Tavern,
Munsey ‘is glad to see that so many
former runners are still running com-
petitively. A great example of this is Tom
Robinson, the first of 22 PhD's among
former cross country runners. He was in-
ducted Saturday, November 2, into the
Hall of Fame. He holds the record for
3,000 meters in the masters division (40 +).

Munsey and his team enjoy a close unity

a few guys looking to have a very good

Albany Law took a 6-0 lead with a try

scoring was limited to a penalty kick by
Tony Ellis.

There's great loyalty and affection
among members of the team.
“Although the loyalty has carried over

Great Danes travel to Buffalo for next roadblock
By Maro Berman
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
The narrow playoff path the Danes are
treading on will take a 320 mile western
turn. Saturday, when the Albany. State
football team faces Buffalo University at
the Bulls’ unnamed, million dollar sports
complex.
The Danes have made the NCAA
playoffs just once in the program's 16-year
history. That memorable season came in
1977; it has been seven dry years since. The
dry spell will reach eight if the Danes are
unable to dispose of Buffalo and Wagner
in their final two games.
Taking one game at a time, Buffalo (4-4)
is by far the easier of the two, and Coach
Bob Ford is well aware that football teams
sometimes have the tendency to take softer
‘opponents for granted. By the same token,
Ford points out, underdogs seem to rise to,
the occasion against. playoff-caliber
meone good," Ford said. “Buffalo. is go-
ing to have no trouble getting pumped for
us.”
Halfback Ro Mitchell says the Danes
will be ready too.
's hard not to look past Buffalo to
Wagner," Mitchell said . ‘We've been
focusing on that game for so long. But we
know if we don’t get past Buffalo, we're
out of the playoffs."”
John Donnelly,:who is Albany’s career
reception leader, remembers what happen-
ed three weeks ago in Cortland,
“We know we need two more games for
the playoffs,"" Donnelly said. “We know
what happened in Cortland when we got a
little cocky. We've seen the films and
they're a good team.”*
There is still concern over the Danés’
quarterback situation. Mike Milano bruis-
ed a nerve in his elbow early in the fourth
quarter against Hofstra, losing feeling in
his throwing hand. Sophomore Jeff
Russell, last year’s starter, came on in
relief to pick up the save.
The numbness is gone, but Milano still
‘was unable to grip the football on Monday
and Tuesday because of the pain. Milano
expects to throw a little during practice
today.
“It's getting better everyday,” said the
Business major from Huntington. “I hope
to throw the ball today because'T have’ to
loosen up."*
Ford is optimistic that Milano will start
Saturday; but he isn’t scared to put in his
starter from 1984.
“Russell is the best quarterback I've had
coming off the bench in my 16 years
here,”” Ford said. .““When Milano went
down, I was hoping for.a (Dan)
Quisenberry. I just wanted him to hold on
to the lead and he did a great job at that.”
‘Another injury that should hurt the
Danes is to cornerback Rich Kozak, who
suffered a concussion versus Hofstra and
will not suit up in Buffalo. Greg Duncan, a
junior from Syosset, will start instead.
The secondary, in general, will have to
be on their toes against Dando's Airforce,
the Bulls’ pro-set offense named after
Bulls' coach Bill Dando. This is the third
straight week the Danes have faced a pass-
oriented attack, having faced Norwich and
PS
Safety Wayne Anderson and comerback Rich Fozak anchor the Dane secondary
Hofstra the last two weeks.
“1 think it’s good in a way,’” Ford said,
“The more you face something the better
you defense it.””
Ford was pleased with the Danes’ pass
defense last week, though Albany allowed
27 points, the most this season, Ford cited
breakdowns on the special teams and tur-
novers as reasons for the slew of Hofstra
points,
“We have bent a lot the last two
weeks," Ford said, “but we haven't broke
too much.””
Sophomore defensive back Jerry Brown
has been a pleasant surprise for the Danes
and Wayne Anderson, who is expected to
be named to the All-East Honor Roll for

Five inducted to Albany Athletic Hall of Fame
By Vinny Reda
The man who inaugurated two winning
varsity ‘sports, two athletes whom he
coached to All-American honors, the
University’s first great running star and its
all-time rebound leader in basketball were
inducted into the State University of New
York at Albany Athletic Hall of Fame
Saturday night in ceremonies in the col-
lege’s Campus Center Ballroom.
Former coach Joseph Garcia, wrestler
Warren Crow, soccer star Carlton J. Max-
son, runner Thomas F. Robinson and
basketball great Donald Cohen became the
second team of honorees to enter the two-
year old hall, joining basketballers Gerald
‘Amyot and Gary Holway, coaches Merlin
Hathaway and the late Edith Cobane and
soccer's Peter Telfer.
Joseph Garcia, who retired from the
University’s physical education staff in
1985 after 35 years as coach and associate
professor, began the school’s soccer pro-
gram in 1950 (staying as head coach
through 1968) and its wrestling team in
1952 (he remained at the helm through
1978). A former All-American wrestler
himself at the University of Illinois (1948),
Garcia, a Ballston Lake resident, went on
to coach six All-Americans in soccer and
two NCAA College Division wrestling
champions at SUNYA.
One of these last two was Warren Crow,
whose success Garcia has called’ the
highlight of his coaching career. Crow,
now a director of management informa-
ing in. Scotia, won his
NCAA titles in 1966 and '67, the first year
being named ‘‘Outs:anding Wrestler” of
the championships. He was a qualifier for
the U.S. Olympic trials in both 1964 and
tion systems
8.
Carlton J. Maxson, now associate dean
of the Science and Mathematics Depart-
ment at Texas A@M University, was an
All-American soccer player in the autumn
of both 1956 and 1957. Named Outstan-
ding Athlete at SUNY-Albany for the
years 1957-58, he now lives in Bryan,
Texas.
‘Inomas F, Robinson was an carly
booster of a cross-country program at the
University in 1961, convinced now 25-year
legend R. Keith Munsey to become coach,
became the team’s first captain and easily
its first star. The assistant professor of
medicine and physiology and biophysics at
the Albert Einstein College of Medicine
won 14 consecutive races and 22 con-
secutive dual meets, both still records.
During the falls of 1961-64 he set 10 course
records,
Donald Cohen, still an Albany resident,
was SUNY- Albany's second great basket-
ball star, the first being Gary Holway, a
1984 Hall of Fame inductee. The 6-6 center
played varsity ball from 1957-61, grabbing
a career record 1,317 rebounds and a
seasonal mark of 462 in 1959-60. In that
season he also set the school’s single-
season scoring mark, since surpassed, and
was voted its MVP,

The Dane skaters kicked off thelr
son with a 7-2 loss to Binghamton
By Lisa Jackel
STAPE WRITER
It was a tough battle for the Albany
State men's hockey clib as they were
defeated by Binghamton in'their opening
game last Friday night, 7-2.
Albany, came out storming in the first
period, but Binghamton still maintained a
1-0 lead going into the second period,
Binghamton’s lead ballooned to 5-0 before
Albany recorded their first goal, a
beautifully placed backhander by Rick
Diem right before the end of the second
period.
Binghamton added two more in the
third period, but Albany closed out the
scoring when freshman Dan Esler put a
wrist shot past the Binghamton goalie with
less than two minutes left in the game,
“Dan's goal was a good final note of the
game," said coach Pomakoy, ‘We left on
an up note,””
The most outstanding player according
to both the coach and the rest of the team
was goalie Jim Leskody with 51 saves,
“If it wasn’t for Jim, the score could
have been 28-2; he stopped shot after
shot,” stated Pomakoy.
Reasons for the loss of this non-league
game could be attributed to lack of ice
time,
“We weren't familiar with playing with
each other, and Binghamton jumped on
‘our mistakes, which were mostly mental,"”
said Pomakoy.
The team seemed to be disorganized *
and often out of position, which will
hopefully be cleared up with practice.
The team also lost a key player in the
first period as Billy Abrams went down
with a separated shoulder.
“Everyone played as well as could be
asked with our limited practice. Being a
non-league game, it was meaningless, but
it was a good opportunity to see where our \,
problems are, which will be cleared up in
practice this week,""said Essner.
“Binghamton wasn't that much better,
than us, they had a good break out play,"
said Leskody. “They didn't have many
sharp shooters, but they set up well, they
were familiar with their teammates and
knew what they were doing."*
Overall, it was a good team effort on
Albany's part, and they are looking for-
ward to Saturday's game against Cortland,

foot by allowing a touchdown in Hofstra's
opening possession, a 34-yard drive punc-
tuated by Squeri’s three-yard pass to
flanker Lou Palermo.
Albany's offense responded with a
19-play, 72-yard scoring drive of their own
that perfectly illustrated the kind of ball
control a wishbone offense dictates.
Soldini accounted for 30 yards on seven
carries in the drive, but the touchdown was
scored when Milano faked a handoff to
Soldini from two yards out and found a
wide open Scott Reagan in the end zone,
Reagan missed the extra point to leave
Hofstra with a 7-6 lead.
Milano’s fumble on the first play of
Albany's next possession set up the Dut-
chmen's second touchdown, but Ro Mit-
hell's 52-yard return on the ensuing
kickoff put Albany on the Hofstra 44,
Nine plays later, Milano hit Chris Haynor
for an 11-yard touchdown, and the two-
point conversion tied the game at 14.
Albany added a 25-yard Reagan field
goal and an cight-yard touchdown pass
from Milano to Glenn Carlin before
halftime, but a Soldini fumble with 22
seconds left set up a 45-yard field goal by
Hostra’s Phil Kuzniar, to keep the Dut-
chmen close, 23-17 at the half,
Kuzniar made it even closer with a
42-yarder with 4:24 left in the third
quarter, but the Dane wishbone churned
out another long touchdown drive, this
time covering 73 yards on 11 plays, with
Milano sweeping untouched from a yard
out for the score. Reagan’s third missed
extra point of the day left the score at
29-20.
‘When the Danes got the ball back with
11:53 to play, they appeared to be in con-
trol. But appearances tend to deceive.

Munsey passes 200th win plateau
By Lisa Jackel
STAF WRITER
R. Keith Munsey is a legendary
character around the Albany State cam-
pus. After coaching cross country at
Albany for the past 28 years, he recorded
his 200th career win this fall.
His cowboy hat, full beard, and gruff
voice resemble that of a stereotypical
westerner, On the inside, he is full of en-
thusiasm for the teams he has coached and
the classes he teaches. His comical per-
sonality is evident in whatever he does.
Prior to coming to SUNYA, Munsey
coached high schoo! basketball, football,
and baseball. He also coached a few in-
dividual runners as teams had not yet been
formed.
Munisey has been at SUNYA for the past
28 years, For his first six years, he was in
charge of housing, both student and off
campus residence. Besides coaching men’s
cross country for 24 years, he has coached
1's spring Irack for 19 years and men's
indoor track for 15 years.

cross country was the prac-
tical foundation of running sports, All
clubs being initiated on campus needed
faculty sponsor, so at the request of Tom
Robinson, who organized everything,
Munsey became the team’s sponsor.
Munsey’s favorite team sport is
baseball. ‘1 love it, it’s the most technical
game today — there's so much geometry
and physics involved,"* said Munsey.
Before Albany had track he coached
freshman baseball for two seasons.
Munsey enjoys coaching cross country
over track because cross country was the
founding running sport here at SUNYA.
Also, he adds, ‘The biggest drawback of
spring track is the limited facilities with

“In track, you see the kids grow up
before your eyes because they are there
with you on the track at all times, unlike
cross country when they disappear for
awhile until they come back from their run
or race,” said Munsey.
Munsey has sent approximately a dozen
teams to nationals, and also three in-

cold weather. It will help immensely once
the field house is built.
The 70's were the strongest years for
both cross country and track, The track
team won thirty meets in a row, dropped
‘one by a point, and came back to win 30
more ina row. These were the golden years
for cross country. For 6.7 years the men’s
cross country team was untouchable.
Munsey has officially retired from
ng track, but will be around for a
longer as the men’s cross country
ch.
“I'd like to hang around for a while to
see what the freshmen and sophomores
can do,” said Munsey.
He doesn’t regret giving up track, but he
dividuals. He's had four All-Americans in
five events in track and two All-Americans
in cross country.
Out of 15 years in SUNYACs, Munsey
has won five .
The biggest win for Munsey and his
cross country team, however, is his 200th
win, against Hartwick 20-37 and St. Rose
15-50 on September 25. It was also his
400th career win, including his 200 wins in
track,
“We all wanted it and it was a lot of
fun,” said Munsey.
“Everybody wanted to be a part of this
win, some runners ran in the race even if it
was their third meet that week," said

An in-depth look at
Dane playoff hopes
For the Albany State Great Danes to
receive their first playoff, berth since
1977 and second in the school’s history,
they will have to win their next two
games. But even an 8-2 record might not
be enough.
Four teams from the East will be in-
vited by a national selection committee
to play in the NCAA Division III na-
tional championship tournament. The
Danes are one of eight teams which are
presently in contention for a spot in the
playoffs.
Union, the only undefeated team with
an 8-0 record and one game remaining
against Hamilton, has an excellent
chance even if they lose that game.
”” said Albany Head
“They've been in it
Two of the other bids will most likely
go to Ithaca and Montclair State, both
with 7-1 records. Even if Ithaca loses
one of its two remaining games, their
season-opening win against Albany en-
sures them a bid ahead of the Danes.
With two games left, Montclair faces
Jersey City and Glassboro, and an upset
is highly improbable.
‘That leaves one playoff bid for the
Danes to shoot for. The other teams still
in contention for the spot are Kings
Point, Western Connecticut and
Wagner, all at 7-1, and Plymouth State
at 6-2.
Kings Point still has to play Iona and
Ithaca. The Danes are hoping the Ithaca
game will result in a second loss for
Kings Point, eliminating them from the
picture. Western Connecticut will disap-
pear from the playoff scene if they lose
their upcoming game against Hofstra,
“We have to root for Ithaca to beat
King’s Point,”* said Ford. “We hope
Hofstra will beat Western Connecticut
to give them two losses, and Plymouth
State already has (wo losses and we have
a little better chance than them.’
It may seem like the Danes’ playoff
hopes are hanging on a thread, but the
situation isn’t as perilous as it seems,

hen 25-year-old: flutist Gary
Shocker was two, he listened to his
father playing a piece on the guitar,
toddled over to the piano, and began to
play the same piece in the right key.
Within a few years, he was performing
piano concerts and composing, and, at age
10, began to concentrate his musical talents
on the flute.

felt different from the other kids,” ad-
mits Shocker. "I was different. But it’s a lit-
tle bit more complicated than the classic
story. When you start to give concerts at
the age of three or four, and people tell
you how wonderful you are, you start to
develop a certain sense of yourself when
you're very young, I did feel set apart.”
Shocker began to study the flute private-
ly under Julius Baker when he was 14. “He
really believed in me,” says Shocker. “He
‘gave me a tremendous amount of support.
My flute playing technically took off.”
While studying under Baker, he was
awarded the Severenson, Yamaha, and
Muramatsu flute prizes, he performed in a
Young People’s. Concert. with the New
York Philharmonic, and he won the
Philadelphia Orchestra's young. Artists
‘Competition.
“Tt was always very easy for me,” claims
Shocker. “When I was younger, I often
resented having to practice, but at that time
I never practiced more than two or three
hours a day.”
He adds, “I still went to regular old high
school. The kids in my health class used to
knock on their desks and ask me what note
it was. They thought it was very funny.”
Shocker continued his musical studies at
the Julliard School, where he won the
Helena Rubenstein and Naumberg scholar-
ship prizes‘and became involved in com:
posing, arranging, and directing music for
theatre. His most recent work was for the
off-Broadway production of Looking for
Lov
"Right now I'm in a program for com-
posers called BMI,” says Shocker, “It's a
workshop for musical theatre. I love it’
At this point in his career, Shocker is
comfortable with performance and finds
composing to be a rewarding application of
his talents, He expresses, “Composition is
becoming more and more important to me.
It gets me thinking. You can play a piece
because it’s beautiful, but after a while it
starts to dry up on you, I feel a sense of ex-
pansion when | write my own music.”
Performing and practicing are still cen-
tral to Shocker’s daily routine. "Now, |
spend most of the day practicing, primarily
flute and some piano. On the flute, | don't
have technical problems — Well they're
never insurmountable problems,”
asserts,
“I don't believe in practicing technique. |
think music improves when you develop
an understanding of it. Always, the solu-
tion is structural. I need some kind of han-
dle to get over the humps.”
According to Shocker, “A musical pro:
blem is like a personal problem. When you
step back, you see the larger pattern. You
can get a little bit objective about it, and
you can correct it.”
Shocker was recently chosen through in-
ternational auditions by Young Concert
Artists, Inc, a talent agency which. pro:
motes young, promising musicians
throughout the northeast. It was from a
Young Concert Artists’ brochure that
SUNYA’s studentsrun Music Council
selected Gary Shocker to perform in the
Recital Hall this evening. Stacey Kern,
secretary of Music Council, reports that
Shocker will be the first performer in a
series of concerts by young musicians.
“We want to have a Young Concert Ar-
tist every semester for ever and ever,”
Kern declares. They chose Shocker
because, according to Kern, "He's just
phenomenal.”
Shocker's program will consist of flute
sonatas, and he will be accompanied by
pianist Dennis Helmrich, A piece by
Joseph Fennimore, based on a poem by
Turgenev called “The Torrents of Spring,”
is one of Shocker’s favorites. “It’s a great
big piece,” he says. "!'m looking forward to

Despite i many prestigious awards and
his early musical success, Shocker is not
over-confident. “I hope ! don't sound too
presumptuous,” he worries. "I also hope

‘As we sat in the Palace, we began to
realize that the audience was predominant-
ly made up, of a 30 and over crowd.
Nonetheless, 1 had prepared myself for
this, fully aware that the MT didn’t exactly
have the youthful appeal (or publicity) of,
say, Bryan Adams or Phil Collins.
‘Around 8:15, the house lights went
down, the musicians came out onto the
darkened stage, and a single ean quickly
roamed the length of the stage. Then, the
only sound in the theatre was the an-
ticipating murmur of the audience.
Suddenly, the quartet appeared, in for-
mal attire, and the show began. We were
wowed by the unique sound of the songs
that they performed from their tenth, and
latest, album Vocalese.
Vocalese itself is a type of jazz singing
and songwriting where an instrumental is
taken and lyrics are written in such a man-
ner that there is a word for each note, The
speed at which some of the phrases are
sung to get all the words in is astonishing.
After we were duly impressed, the MT
decided it was time to rock the Palace, and
rock it they did! Between songs, they left
the stage and then returned after undergo-
ing a drastic costume change — from their
1940's nightclub attire of tuxes, cocktail
gowns, and dressy suits, to 50's style street
clothes.
We were then treated to the saga of
“Killer Joe,” a wonderfully enjoyable, fun-
ny, and theatrical performance, A few
songs later, we were treated to what I con-
sidered (and still do) one of the show's best
"Gloria." Sung a cappella, it was
possible to catch a note which
was incorrect or out of place. It was truly
amazing.
When we were overjoyed and over-
whelmed by the energy and enthusiasm
flowing from the stage to the audience,

face I looked at held nothing less than a
smile, and in the air around me I caught ad
jectives like, “invigorating,” “great,” and,
“sensational.”
The air of anticipation was dissolved,
and our hopes were fulfilled when the
Manhattan Transfer returned from the in-
termission with a spirited, enthusiastic ren-
dition of their hit, “Birdland,”
They went on to do a number of songs

They ended their show, or so. they
thought, about 21% hours later. However,
two standing ovations and intense cheering,
from the full-house crowd resulted in two
encores, “The Boy From New York City,”
and "Rockhouse.” They left the stage for
the third time, leaving the Palace rocking
on its foundations with their music and a
third standing ovation from their kingdom
of admirers.
The first of October marked the group's
thirteenth anniversary, After this concert

2a Aspects
‘November 6, 1985
“| think I bring to each of my performances 23 years of
my life’s experiences.
Let's examine those experiences, The son of actor
Martin Sheen, Estevez has appeared in Tex, Repo Man,
Nightmares, The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, and That
Was Then This Is Now, for which he penned the
screenplay. He recently completed a starring role in Stephen
King’s Overdrive, and the credits on his next project, entitl-
ed Wisdom, will include writer, director, and star.
Ina hotel room on the 34th floor of The Parker Meridian,
overlooking Manhattan, Estevez pours himself into a chair,
He strikes one as thoroughly relaxed, wearing tattered blue
jeans, a gray sports jacket, and a grungy pair of white Nike
sneakers, He speaks truthfully, although, at times, Estevez
shares less than he desires, an obvious after-effect of the
New Yorker “Brat Pack” article two years ago.
I'm not capable of bringing 26 or 27 years of my
life's experiences because I haven't lived that long yet. Every
year I grow. Every performance | grow and learn something
new, I learn something about myself everytime,” he shares,
“In the last couple of years I've been abie to relax in front
of the camera. That makes a world of difference, whether
you're tight and worrying about your lines, | don’t study my
lines before | go to work, I have a general idea about what |
do, what I'm going to say, and I go in front of the camera.
Whatever happens happens. If a fly lands on your head
what are you going to do? Leave it there because it’s not in
the script? There!” Estevez shouts, smacking his face,
“you've swatted a fly, Get rid of it.”
So at ease before the camera, Estevez feels prepared to
move behind it, “I just made a deal with Gladden Entertain-
ment Corporation, which is (Producer) David Begelman's
company in Los Angeles, to direct and star in (a film based
on his own) original screenplay called Wisdom. We start
shooting in January,” explains Estevez.
“Lam scared to death of directing, but I have the energy
right now. I may not have that energy five or ten years from
now. But I love film. My whole life I've loved film. I used to
make eight millimeter films. Surfing movies,” Estevez recalls
with a sheepish smile. “I made a movie when I was in sixth
grade with all the neighborhood kids about the Mafia
(laughs). We called it The Godbrother. It was about trading
diamonds and stuff, We had this old chandelier that was ina
box in the attic. | pulled all the crystals off and used those
for the diamonds. It was wild.”
“would get into the editing and the music. So I'm excited
as hell to be ing Wisdom and to be really in control in
front of and behind the camera. It seems like a natural pro-
gression for me.”
Estevez desribes Wisdom as a contemporary drama con-
cerning a young man who doesn’t fit anywhere on the social
ladder, “He sets out to change his own life and to change the
lives of some people around him in a very positive way,”
promises the screenwriter, “That's all | can say about it
without giving too much away,
A project Estevez does talk about, proudly and at length,
is That Was Then, This Is Now, based on S.E. Hinton’s
novel, Estevez plays Mark, a young man growing up, and
apart from his best friend Bryan (Craig Sheffer)
“{ was doing Tex in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and | had never
read S.E.Hinton before Tex, so I picked up the book That
Was Then This ls Now in the bookstore. I took it home and
read it. It just floored me. It was just an incredible novel," he
proclaims, “I felt if any of her novels were going to be turn:
ed into film this should be the one.”
—Emilio Estevez
No one at the time held the rights to the novel. Estevez,
then 18, approached Susan Hinton and requested that she
sell him the rights. “I said I'd like to take a shot at it,” relates
Estevez. "She was a little reluctant because of my age, but I
talked about some ideas I had. She said “Yeah, I think you
can do it. You'd be perfect to play Mark.’ I said, "Yeah, |
know.’ ”
So I started working on the screenplay. I didn’t really in-
tend to write it until I optioned the property. Screenwriters:
these days get a lot of money. I needed to see if it translated
well. So I took two weeks right after shooting Tex and
wrote the first draft, which ran 120 pages and read very
well, A couple of people read it and they encouraged me to
continue writing. It went through a long process, four and a
half years, to finally get to the screen.”
Studio backing posed one major roadblock in Estevez" ef-
forts to mount That Was Then. The other Hinton novel
translations to film (Tex, The Outsiders, and Rumble Fish)
generally failed at the box office. “I think that was the big-
gest hurdle for me to get over,” claims Estevez, “the studios
were not willing to put money into something that was
another intense youth drama. You feed someone junk food
their entire lives and:they don’t know the difference bet-
ween health food and junk food.
“IE you feed them junk food movies they go to see junk
food movies for the rest of their lives. You feed them health
food, it takes them a while to pick up on it, but they even-
tually do. They realize that the health food makes them fee!
better, the health food movies make them feel better, It’s
sad to think it’s taken this long to change, but change is
slow. Welll see what happens in the future, if they continue
to make movies like The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's
Fire.”
Another potential dilemma facing Estevez derived from
the fact that any film concerning teenagers is immediately
labeled a “teen film.” Estevez read That Was Then at a time
when teen sex-ploitation films flooded the market. “Alll the
kids are into sex, drugs, and rock n roll, and the
mindless, 1 thought, ‘Well, Jesus, this is really not fair. I'
tired of being portrayed as this mindless human being,’ That
Was Then struck a chord in me which said "Yes, this has a
possibility of making a difference. It's an intelligent book
and it could make an intelligent film.’ It's taken a long time
to get to the screen and since then we've had Risky Business,
which I consider an intelligent film, The Breakfast Club, St.
Elmo's Fire, and just these high class youth films. So, That
Was Then is a little late, but I think it will find an audience.”
Finding an audience meant sacrificing certain elements of
the Hinton novel, chiefly the disheartening realities, "We
felt we needed to make the film a little more up,” Estevez
confesess, “It’s (the novel) very moralistic, | think, There's
not a real elelment of humor. You find that in most of her
novels, What I did with (director) Chris Cain was infuse the
humor element. The last thing I think we needed was
another S.EHinton novel with a brooding young man, a
troubled youth who's sulking and pounding on locker
doors. We just didn’t need that. Instead that pain is really
covered up by this humor. I think it works much better. It
makes it more accessable to the audience.
Estevez brought much of himself to the role of Mark.
“Mark goes through a lot of pain. He's got a lot of hurt. He's
a scarred individual. The key to his character,” contends
Estevez, “is when he says ‘l don't like anybody hurting me,’
Graig Sheffer (left) and Emillo Estevez (right) In That Was Then... This Is Now.”
Something about
Emilio:
‘by Ian Spelling
because he’s got so much hurt himself. He takes that pain
‘out on other people. He verbally abuses people. He
physically abuses people, as we see him do a number of
times in the film. He’s got so much pain and so much anxi
ty built up inside that I just really tapped into my own pain,
and my own fears, and covered them up with the humor
element. In rehearsals | discovered that was the key to mark.
‘So that was the inward homework.”
"The physical homework was finding something right for
the hair, finding the right earing, losing a certain amount of
t, and just doing those little things that make up a
character.”
Mark additionally provided Estevez the occasion to por-
tray a person he wasn’t on the surface. “I think there's a
Mark inside me screaming to get out. That's why I wanted
to play this character. | think we all have a wild streak to us,
our alter ego, It was a terrific opportunity for me to get that
out of my system. We play certain roles for a reason. now
have this out of my system,” declares Estevez, who pauses
momentarily and adds, “I'm kind of ‘a combination of my
character, (Andy) in The Breakfast Club and Mark from
That Was Then.”
Proceeding on advice from friends and colleagues,
Estevez contemporized That Was Then, His story takes
place in the 1980's rather than the ‘50's of Hinton’s novel.
was a decision made by the producers and myself, based on
a couple of things,” Estevez:discloses. ‘One, as far as-our
budget, it’s hard to shoot a period picture and get the right
cars and the right setting and ‘pay attention to details of
clothing and dialogue, We didn’t want to deal with that.
Another thing is that I think (updating) makes it more accesi-
ble to the young people now going to films.” :
Susan Hinton primarily avoided direct association with
the project, though privy to the alterations made. “The only
thing I really conferred with her about,” divulges Estevez,
‘was contemporizing the novel. | called and said ‘Look, this,
is Chris (Cain's) thought. These are my thoughts. We think
for various reasons we'd like to contemporize this.’ She said,
Sure, as long as the characters remain intact I don’t have a
problem, You could set this in 1920 as long as the characters
retain the same flavor they have in the novel.’ She had no
problem with that.”
Neither did Estevez. As an eighties actor and man, he felt
no pressure writing for actors his age. “I think it was easy for
me to write that dialogue. (Though) I had a problem writing
some of the descriptions and trying to make them visual. I
didn’t have a problem with the dialogue because, being an
actor, when I read a ctingeable line,” he says cringing in
mock disgust, "I know ‘That just doesn’t sound right’ and
(think) ‘How am I going to work around this, If an actor
finds a line difficult to read than the line is probably not

screening of his film. “It was one of the biggest thrills of my
life to date,” he shouts, “to sit in that screening room and see
Screenplay By, My heart started racing. I was having an anx-
iety attack and thought I was going to collapse.”
According to Estevez, Hinton also enjoyed the picture. “I
spoke to her on the phone, (but) I couldn't get her to admit
she thought it was the best one. But I know, I think it’s the
best one out of the four novels that were translated to film,”
he contends, “1 think it stays the most honest to the novel.”
Estevez describes That Was Then as his “swan song” to
teenage movies. “I'm in my early twenties right now. |
should be playing roles that are 21, 22, or 23 years old,” he
maintains, noting That Was Then needed to be made
because of its message concerning love. “It’s a love story bet:
‘ween two bays. If a kid walks out of the theatre thinking it’s
OK to be afraid, OK to fear. . . I mean, we are in the Ram-
bo age, where itis so important to be tough, be hard as nails,
to let nothing affect you, to be hip and cool, and have
everything together. For these kids it must be a terrible way
to live, not being able \o express their fears. If they can walk
‘out of this film and say to themselves it’s OK to cry, it's OK
to be vulnerable, it's OK to express feelings to parents, to
my friends, to someone else, than maybe we'll have a lot
fewer teen suicides,”
Following the completion of St. Elmo's Fire, Estevez ac-
cepted a role in Stephen King’s Overdrive, the prolific hor-
rormeister’s maiden directorial effort. The young actor con-
siders Overdrive an “action film” which he undertook simp-
ly to enjoy himself. “I needed to get that out of my system,
In 1984 | did Breakfast Club, That Was Then, and St.Elmo’s,
in that order as far as shooting them. I needed to do
something that was a little less talky, like a Clint Eastwood
type of film,” Estevez mutters,
“So I had a five, six day growth on my face, and I slicked
back my hair a la Don Johnson. I had an earring. So I did my
action film. I play the hero and I get the girl and I blow
everything up. It was great, just great. We had a terrific time
making it.”
Overdrive is based on “Trucks,” a short story from the
Nightshift anthology, which King adapted for the screen, "It
was his script, which he made larger than life, so I had to
keep thinking of myself almost as a cartoon type of
character,” Estevez says, “It's a wild movie. I haven't seen i
yet, but there’s a lot of special effects and craziness, It's

Off the set, Estevez views himself as a serious young man,
His fame affords him certain obvious comforts, however,
the heat the spotlight generates often burns those on which
is focused, Perhaps the most painful wound inflicted upon
Estevez was the over-publisized “Brat Pack” article in New
Yorker magazine, Though Estevez discusses the matter at
length, he obviously regrets his naivete at being placed in
such a situation.
"The Brat Pack is really a laughable thing right now. You
can't give it any credence, any more power than it already
has because you'll get angry, you'll get upset, and it’s just a
waste of energy. Although I did get upset when I read it for
the first time,” admits Estevez, shaking his head. “There's
nothing creative about that piece. What this writer failed to
realize was that there was this group of young men who are
hard working individuals who care about their craft. Ap-
parently he didn’t see that, He exploited a night out with the
guys. It was written from a very bitchy point of view. 1
think the author's jealousy came out a lot in the article ,
more than anything-else."
“To tell you the truth, I spent three nights with him, ac-
tually afternoons and evenings. | took him to the scoring
stage where they were doing some of the music for That
Was Then. | took him to lunch at Hard Rock Cafe, just he
and I, We talked about all kinds of things — the evolu-
tionary process of That Was Then, from picking up the
book to the final version, We talked about all these things.
‘Thursday night, it started on Monday, we go out to the
Hard Rock with all the guys, which I was advised not to do,”
he chuckles nastily. “I went against all the advice I'd been
given. He made an announcement to the table that ‘this is all
off the record.’ Sure enough, if you've read the piece, it was
all on the record.”
‘and Morgan Freeman.
The article, though, may have been a blessing in disguise.
“They say bad press is as good as good press. I don’t know.
It's made me very guarded as far as the press is concerned.
It's really made me come in here wearing a coat of armor,”
Estevez accurately asserts. “I'm just more prepared now than
Iwas at that time. That article was a learning experience. So,
I take it as that. It’s history. If I'm looking back over my
shoulder, and I'm worried about all that, I'm only going to
fall forward instead of move forward.”
As a result of the article, the members of the “Brat Pack”
are an even closer group than before. Even Estevez’ ac-
celerated interests aren't leading him away from his friends,
who include Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy,
Rob Lowe, and fiancee Demi Moore. “Everyone is very sup-
portive, There are no ill feelings of jealousy between myself
and the others that are at certain stages in their careers,”
testifies Estevez, “It's very supportive and just not
competetive.”
Nor does any competition exist between Estevez and his
father, Martin Sheen, “Oh, he’s accepted the fact that I've
superceded him,” howls Estevez. “My career is so much dif-
ferent from his. I'm going off into areas like directing and
writing and I'm evolving, whereas he's content with being
an actor, I think he's going to dabble in directing, but he's
been content for the last twenty-two years being an actor. 1

Part of that “evolution” rested in disassociating himself
from the Sheen name. “The family name comes from Spain,
My grandfather's name is Francisco Estevez and I chose to
use that name because I didn’t want to seem like | was riding
‘on the success of my father, and his name,” explains Estevez,
running his fingers through his closely cropped dirty-blond
hair. “If I was going to do it, it was going to be based on
talent and not on who I knew and what connections | had, if
any. So it was very important for me. At the time I was ad-
vised to change the name to Sheen. ‘It would be much easier
for everyone to understand.’ ‘1 wouldn't get work as
Estevez.’ ‘It was just too big a hurdle to overcome,’ ”
Having chosen Estevez, the actor proceeded to leap near-
ly every major hurdle. The selective service, however, trip-
ped him up. Estevez refused to register for the draft and
didn’t until four and a half years after the deadline. “The let-
ters from the selective service started getting shorter and
shorter. First they said ‘We realize you may be out of town.
Would you please sign here,’” Estevez recalls, speaking in a
ridiculing fashion, “Garbage. Then they got shorter and
they'd be like ‘Do this or it’s ten years in prison and ten
thousand dollars.’ Again, garbage. Then they started geting
really nasty. They said ‘Look, we are going to come over to.
your house and cart you away,’ At that point (I registered),
If the draft is revived, as it may very well be, we'll see what
happens then.”
"really object to killing anyone for any purpose, on any
land. I don’t think I can be shipped off to Central America
and go kill one of my brothers, you know, That's the
strange thing. Think of the Hispanic population in this coun-
try now. In Los Angeles, by the year 2000, it’s going to be
fifty percent Hispanic sumames, How are these guys going
to feel, who are now American citizens, about getting
drafted and sent down to Central America? If the conflict
does arise there, how are they going to feel facing their
brothers on the other side of the line? I wonder if our
government has considered that.”
On the lighter side, Estevez’ two close friends Andrew
McCarthy and Rob Lowe recently held a conversation dur-
ing which McCarthy told Lowe, “I see you as part of the
great tradition of Bobs: Bob DeNiro, Bob Redford, Bob
Culp, Bob Denver,and Bob Lowe.”
Estevez slaps hard at his leg, smiles broadly, and laughs
loudly at the quote, but turns serious when asked seriously
where he pictures himself thirty or forty years down the
line. “I see myself as continuing to work, and continuing to
make films," Estevez predicts. “I've been given an incredible
‘opportunity, and I don’t want to blow it. Unless 1 really
screw up badly, I expect to continue making films, continue
to write, That doesn’t mean I'm going to be exclusive to my
‘own projects. I'll work just as an actor in some films.”
“Every day I'm discovering what life has to offer me,"
Emilio Estevez chimes, “I'm having the time of my life right
now,” a

That Was Then: It’s here; it’s now
udging a movie based on a novel
generally creates problems. Films
should be considered on their own
merits because films and novels are dif-
ferent beasts, Reality (and the public) dic-
tates otherwise, Therefore, screenwriters
and directors generally tailor a story to
meet their own needs
Ian Spelling
Director Christopher Cain and screen
writer Emilio Estevez clearly felt changes
were a necessity to bring S.E.Hinton’s
novel That Was Then This Is Now to the
screen. In addition to disassociating That
Was Then from the novel, Cain and
Estevez sought to transcend the overall box
office enigma of the other Hinton transla.
tions to film. Tex, The Outsiders, and
Rumble Fish all faired poorly. The stone
cast in this attempt to kill two birds is a
sense of hopefulness lacking in the novel !
and the other novel-based pictures
Based solely on its own merits, That Was
Then works surprisingly well. As com:
pared to thé other Hinton adaptations,
That Was Then often works better; which
in truth rates as qualified praise. The other
films weren't all that good, Estevez. up:
dated the story, which now takes place in
Minneapolis/St. Paul in the 1980's, This
makes the story far more accessible than
The Outsiders or Rumble Fish
Estevez plays Mark, a troubled and
troublesome young man who bucks the
system at every opportunity, He drives
recklessly, treats people nastly, and simply
refuses to mature. Mark's best friend,
Bryan (Craig Sheffer), with whom he has
lived since his parents’ deaths nine years
earlier, begins to grow up and prepares to
live in the real world, Mark quickly
becomes jealous of both Bryan and his new
girlfriend, Cathy (Kim Delaney), and goes
completely out of control.
The romance between Bryan and Cathy,
which is superbly developed through
short, concise scenes and a superior mon-
tage sequence, generates tension
throughout. Bryan's former girlfriend seeks
revenge. He, however, backs down from
any confrontation. Mark then involves
himself and suffers minor injuries as a
result. Later, Mark and Bryan hustle two
older men at their friend Charley's bar.
Outside the two gunwielding men con-
front Mark and Bryan. Charley dies at-
tempting to protect the boys. Mark turns
inward following the incident, while Bryan
relies on Cathy. Thus, the drift between
them widens, The film's remainder ex-
amines the manner in which the two
young men face impending and colliding
realities.
Estevez performs gamely in what must
be described as the most underdeveloped
of the three major roles. Whether this
derives from his acting or writing, or any
combination, can't be ascertained,
However, Mark doesn’t seem real enough
to consider memorable. Sheffer, in his
screen debut, brings a sense of growth to
his role, Bryan genuinely blossoms
throughout the story. Unfortunately, Shef-
fer occasionally loses sight of the
character's personality, or at least its cur-
rent state of mental development, and
veers off in different directions at inoppor-
tune moments. Kim Delaney offers a
sweet, sympathetic performance in her
debut, though the role, for dramatic pur-
poses, is severly underwritten. And
Morgan Freeman’s humane portrayal of
Charlie certainly ranks as the best perfor.
mance in the film.
Director Cain relies far too heavily on
close-ups for dramatic emphasis, , One
could count the freckles on Estevez’ face.
Also, That Was Then feels dangerously
close to Francis Coppola's The Outsiders,
which oozed darkness and despair in its
cinematography, Cain's continued at-
tempts to visually complement Estevez’
script often over-emphasize rather than
add meaning. The rock soundtrack, on the
other hand, superbly weaved itself into the
That Was Then basically performs
tended. This may be its downfall. The lack
of effort to make the film “something
more” shows’ all too clearly, That Was
Then can be considered food for thought
— afterthought, It could have been
‘something more.

Although a motion by Miller to
allow beer balls in suites was not
seconded by another council
member, Miller argued against
the banning of bulk containers
when given the floor by Iselin,
Miller said that banning bulk con-

potentially ‘drive drinking

Advertising saturated with sexism
By Ken Dornbaum
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
“Ads sell products, but they also sell
concepts of value, love, sexuality, and nor-
malcy, and say who we are and who we
should be,"” said Dr. Jean Kilbourne,
speaking in front of over 350 women and
men in the Campus Center Ballroom Mon-
day night.
Kilbourne, who examined sexism in
advertising, is a nationally known media
analyst.

fects of advertising on society and its view

people are exposed to 1,000 ads daily and
spend one-and-a-half years of their lives
watching television commercials.
According to Kibourne, the statistics are
increasing. Little children watch television
at least half the day and see at least 1,000
different products advertised weekly, ‘In
the future, laser beams may be used to pro-
ject advertisements onto clouds,"" she
added,
“Ads reflect the values and mythology

created,
She explained that men outnumber
women in advertisements in a ratio of over
(wo to one. ‘Moreover, almost everyone is
white, almost everyone is heterosexual in a
nuclear family, almost all women are
under 40, and there are no mental or
physical defects,” she said, adding,
“unless you consider the housewives who
talk to men in toilet bowls,"* to which the
audience laughed,

a
newly revised
election policy
By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER
The newly revised Student Associa-
tion Elections Policy, which would have
provided for some public financing of
elections and also limits on advertising,
has been thrown out after Central
Council failed to override a presidential
veto last Wednesday.
The veto was SA President Steve
Gawley’s first this year, An override at-
tempt fell short of the 20 necessary votes
on a 13-16-0 ballot,
‘The presidential veto was announced
to Council by Steve Russo, Internal Af-
fairs chair, who also said, “In my opi-
nion, the entire veto rests on this point
of a $250 ASP (Albany Student Press)
ceiling.” The Election Regulation Act
had allowed certain candidates (o spend
up to $250 on advertising in the ASP.
“There was no limit on ASP ads
before, and this (Act) decided there
should be,"” Russo said. ‘You do not
have to trash the whole policy for this
one thing."
Russo was concerned that the whole
policy would have to be discussed,
