Georgetown is always a threat, but the Hoyas have a

Layoff notices were distributed to 35 non-
academic SUNYA employees Wednesday
resulting from cuts dictated by Cuomo's 1983
budget, according to Vice President of
University Affairs Lewis Welch,

Of the 35 positions cut throughout the
campus, six Student Health Services posi-
tions and 9 bus drivers will be eliminated,
sid Welch. The other positions cut have
been scattered throughout the university and
Will not effect students, Welch added,

Layoffs in health and bus services will take
effect wfter May commencement, he sald,
while the other layoffs become effective as
early as April 7.

Welch admitted that “there is going to be a
change’’ in health and bus services, but could
Hot say whatthose changes would be,

The specific cuts in positions were recom-
mended by a 20 member budget panel which
includes student representatives, faculty, and
university staff, according to Dean of Stux
dent Affairs Neil Brown,

Student Health Services Director Dr. Janet
Hood explained that two physicians and four
nurses have been cut from her staff, "I don't
know how to handle this,"” she said

Hood predicted health services will not be
fs adequate as this year. She is particularly

Brown said that the health service cuts
were originally to become effective on April

DeSole said that there are “a lot of

Martin said minority students ate often lett

Martin attributes minority siudenis? lack

UUP says Albany cuts may harm local economy

By Nancy Crowfoot
MAVPRITER
Proposed SUNYA budget cuis will lead to a $5.4 million
decline in local business volume in the Albany area, accor-
ding t a report by the United University Professions,

This projection, estimated for the first full year following
the budget cuts, describes two types of spending effects that
Will hurt local business volume.

Initia! effects include reduced spending by f
students and the university itself,

Generated by these reductions would be what UUP
Albany Chapter President Tim Reilly refers to as ‘second.
order effects."* These include fewer sales by local vendors:
supplying goods 10 the university, as well as a spending
decline by residents employed outside the university. Both
are direct resulis of income reductions caused by lower
University generated spending.

“Making substantial cuts in SUNYA is like closing a ma:
Jor manufacturing plant in the city of Albany," Reilly
observed. The entire community is affected.

UUP estimated that reductions directly attributable 10
reirenchment will exceed $2.7 million, This includes a $1.8
million decrease in spending by faculty and staff laid off as
a result of Cuomo's estimated new budget. Reilly claimed
that this is a conservative figure, which assumes that all
retrenched faculty and staff remain in the Albany area, and
spend approximately $8,000 a year, a figure that roughly
corresponds {0 the level of unemployment insurance
benefits, There is no guarantee, however, that those laid off
Will continue to reside in the Albany area, he said,

“Given the current tightness in the local labor market, 1
assume that retrenched faculty and staff will find it dif
ficult, if not impossible to obtain jobs in. the Capital
District at their current salary level," predicted Reilly, ad-
ding that this would result in an even further drop in spen-
ding in the local economy.

In the report, UUP also estimated a $1,016,000 reduction
in local spending by students resulting from the budget
cuts. This includes an anticipated drop in enrollment by
1000 students next year due to increased tuition, According
to Reilly, the non-tuitive costs of attending the university
will approach $2,300 per person in the coming year.

lly, staff,

This estimated reduction in spending, said Reilly, may
also be much smaller than the actual, as it is assuming that
students from the local area would be paying room and.
board costs at their current off-campus addresses, even if
they will not be enrolled at the university. It iy likely that
this will not be the ease for many students, he sald,

A decline in university spending will also be detrimental
to the local economy, according to Reilly, who estimated

figure of approximately $150,000, This would include a

Reilly added that second order effects, which would

Jewish groups will protest Arab lecture series

By Ben Gordon

‘wish groups have vowed to protest a schedul-
ed lecture series Saturday which has been co-sponsored by
the Arab Students Association (ASA) and the Capital
District Committee on Palestinian Rights in LC1, accor-
ding to President of Jewish Student Coalition—Hillel,
Melinda Mifler.

Revisionist Zionist Alternative (RZA) Vice President
Steve Smith said the protest is being coordinated by the
Student Coalition Against Terrorism (SCAT), The protest
is in response to the tentative lecture by Palestinian Libera:
tion Organization representative Dr. Hatem Hussaini,
Depuly Observer to the PLO Mission to the United Na:
tions, The ASA has announced that Dr. Mohammed
Hallaj, Director of the Institute of Arab Studies, and Dr
Carol Berrigan of Syracuse University will also speak.

Miller explained the protest is to take the form of the
group repeating the Mourner's Kaddish, a Jewish prayer of
mourning, Miller said the prayer will be ‘*for all the people
felled by PLO terrorists.""

Smith said Hussaini is “trying to take the tarnish off

Only time will tell

For the first time in Its twenty-two year existence, OPEC
rolled back the price it charges for crude oll,

With the combination of external competition and an
‘bated consumer demand, the once potent oll cartel had lite
te choice but to lower the price it charges for crude oil or
face an all-out price war which could have (and still might)
destroy its unity,

Robert Martiniano ae

After weeks of infighting, OPEC members simultaneous:
ly agreed to lower its price per barrel by five dollars to
twenty-nine dollars a barrel and to set OPEC-wide produc
tion quotas,

These compromises by no means signal an end of
troubles for the beleaguered OPEC, Non-OPEC oil pro-
ducing nations could still unilaterally lower the prices they
charge for oll, recreating the price war, and conservation
measures could still lower the demand for oll products.

il conservation may or may not be a major factor in
OPEC's fall from omnipotence,

Debate continues within economical circles as to the
felative effectiveness of conservation measures. Ecoomists
believe the world-wide recession has a much arcater
fluence on the abated demand for olf, rather than sporadic
conservation measures,

Yet, downplaying conservation efforts only diminishes
the collective efforts the Western world has produced (0
lessen its dependence on OPEC oil,

Detroit is not about to retool to again produce gas guzz
ing dinosaurs, Our efforts to produce more energy efficient
homes and businesses will not abate even with the decrease
in fuel costs, These short term conservation j es have
Jong term consequences,

Whether these conservation measures contributed more
(0 OPEC's situation than did the recession, that is for
historical speculation.

Speculation notwithstanding, the recession

impact on OP!
American factories working at sixty percent capacity, the
amount of oil America failed to import is significant. Again
We cannot downplay the significance of the recession in
OPEC's problems, Yet, to note every aspect of the recess
sion and its impact of oil importation would be a bore

Even with the recession and conservation, OPEC's big-
gest problem came from non-OPEC oil producing nations,
With nations such as Mexico, Norway, and and Great Bri-
tian selling oil just as cheaply with much less aggravation,
oil importing nations are switching trading partners.

Over the last three years, while (otal consumption
world-wide is down by nine million barrels of oil a day, the
comsumpiion of OPEC oil is down twelve million barrels a
day,

Applying basic math to this economical situation, while
OPEC oil production is down that previously mentioned
twelve million barrels a day, non-OPEC oil producing na-
tions have increased their oil production by three million
barrels a day.

OPEC's lion’s share of the oil market no longer exists,
and for so long OPEC had a huge appetite, With the domi-
nant role in oil production, OPEC could dictate its rules to
the rest of the world, That is no longer true,

With the onset of the recession and conservation’
measures, and with competition from non-OPEC nations,

Ol usage abated, With the need for steady revenues, coun-
Iles had {0 decrease prices to increase sales and hopefully
steady total revenues,

It is this need for price decrease(s) which tore OPEC
apart, Iran, in its need (0 fund its war with Iraq, needed to
undercut OPEC's official benchmark price of thirty-four
dollars a barrel (o keep a steady revenue flowing,

For nations such as Nigeria and Venezuela, who are in-
debted to American and European banks, income had to be
steadied to keep debt service payments up or risk bankrupt-
S

For other OPEC nations, the revenue Is needed just to
exist day to day, Within OPEC, there exists a dichotomy
based on riches, Rich Persian Gulf states and Libya bring in
hinely percent of OPEC's revenues for only three percent
of OPEC's population, The other ten percent of the
Fevenue supports ninety-seven percent of OPEC's popula
tion. Obviously these poorer states have a greater stake in
Keeping revenues steady, Any drop {n revenues could spell
economical disaster.

Only time will tell whether OPEC can survive the current

or a year | lived with a sports buff
F who never minded the nickname
we had chosen for him — The

Ripper — because he thought he'd been
named after a local sportscaster, and not,
'as was the case, after his eating habits. It
was an understandable misconception,
and one that might never had to have been
cleared up If t weren’t for an afternoon |
spent recenily at The Fountain restaurant
on New Scotland, where three of us ~
me, Mr. Guilt, and The Smoker — had
driven for pizza and Ms, Pac-man, Ig-
norance may or not be bliss, although I'm
preity sure The Ripper will be happier with
his nickname if he doesn't read past this
point, For it’s here | reveal that “ripping” Is.
the act of sharing a pizza and tearing into its
middle, Gordian:knot style, to expose the
largest piece

You're right If you don't consider this the
most serlous of transgressions, nor the
rudest, I've seen hcuse-mates lick the re-
maining Freihofer’s (0 claim them as their
‘own, for instance, But ripping remains unt:
que in the sheer audacity of the act, a
technique of eating pizza which states, "I've
finished my slice before you, and feel | am
entitled to the largest remaining plece,
even if i means. skipping the familiar
courtesy of leaving the size of the plece up
{o fate by going, In order, around the ple,”
Even if ripping weren't the most ruthless of
acts, it would certainly remain one of the
nolslest
All this came ‘up again (The Ripper hav-
ing graduated last year) when Mr. Gullt
reached for the largest slice on a cheese
and three: quarter onion ple Monday night,
and balked when I called him a tipper. He
reminded me that he hadn't torn into the
plzza, but had waited until the largest slice
had been exposed by The Smoker and r
I didn’t see the difference, and sald there's
litle distinction between tipping and
waiting — they both achieve the same end
although one may be slightly more covert
and therefore, | argued, almost worse

Mr, Guilt would have none of it, and
defended himself (weakly, | feel) on the
grounds that those who sit and walt do so
‘at a considerable risk of having less than
anyone else, being that eight slices do not
go Into three people evenly, Indeed, not
only shouldn't we have accused him of
greediness, we should have applauded his
patience

cen

Q

How this all relates to Ms. Pac-man may
not be apparent, but trust me — we're get:
ting there, It’s been a tradition of ours of
late to follow our pizza with a few goes at
the game. In fact, i's become a tradition to
follow anything with afew goes at the
game, although I don't think we've raised it
fo the level of obsession that the
newsmagazines keep talking about, Mr.
Gullt has his manic phases, and The
Smoker has dumped enough quarters in
the game to score in the 0 to 70 thou-
sand point range, but | think I balance this
with an approach that borders on the
academic, High scores aren't enough for
me, especialy as I've yet to achieve one. |
want to understand the game, and confirm
a few theories I've had about the type of
personalities it rewards, and those It
punishes.

Ms. Pac-man has been called the most
popular video game spin-off In the in:
dustry’s short history, designed by The
Midway Manufacturing Company to ap
peal to women arcade players and as a fur-
ther challenge to those who already
mastered the original Pac-man. The yellow
Pac-man disc has been given a set of
Revlon lips, a pink and blue bow in ts hair,
and, if you look closely, a tiny dimple in its
cheek. Like Pac-man, Ms. is a maze game,
the object of which is to guide your dise
through @ series of twists and tus, and
earn points by gobbling "dots," enemies,
and Joud, bouncing frults. In pursult are
four "ghosts," who can only be eliminated

4a p be

when Ms, eals a flashing "power dot" and
turns them blue, and even then are resur-!

rected from the "monster pen" in the mid-
dle of the board. When Ms, has successful-
Iy eluded the ghosts or eaten them Into
submission (earning up to 1600 points per
power dot for her troubles) and cleared the
maze’of all those dots, she is rewarded with
‘anew maze, faster ghosts, and a shortened,
duration of "munch-time,” — the period in,
Which the ghosts remain edible

Unlike Pac-man, the four ghosts in Ms
— the red, the orange, the green, and the
pink — cannot be relied upon to do
anything predictable, Thus memorization
of pattems is rio longer effective, and the
good player must learn the personalities of
each of the ghosts, which are as erratic as
the player’s, The orange ghost, for in:
stance, is reknowned for his cowardice, but
Is inspired to altack on occasion,

There Is also a quite literal sense of
drama in Ms. that js missing from Pac-man

— in the form of the “Acts,” or romantic
Interludes which mark the completions of
two pink mazes, three blue mazes, and four
orange mazes. In Act 1, "They Meet,” Pac-
man greets his Ms, with a dainty kiss. The
second Act Is "The Chase," In which our
litle feminist pursues her man as he streaks
actoss the screen. Act Ills “Junior,” In
which the Ms. presumably becomes a Mrs.
when a stork flys across the screen to
deliver a tiny Pac-Baby,

Like many marriages, thal of the Pacs
occurs only after a long and difficult woo-
ing, and considering the level of expertise
reached by my friends and me, Act Ill re-
mained a virtual rumor. Unill yesterday,
that is, when | approached the Fico
brothers of Tarrytown to help me confirm
some of the theories | was beginning to
form about the game

Freshman John Fico recognizes that he
is no championship player, nor even the
best player in his family, That honor goes
to older brother Andy, who's topped
160,000 points while clearing 17 mazes.
Both are more than mildly impressed by
the national record of 347,400, which |
confirmed yesterday by calling the National
Scoreboard, located in the Twin Galaxies
Arcade in Ottumwa, lowa (515-684-6421
= don't ask for Radar). But John has often
racorded the highest totals on the machines
in area bars, and when we visited Sutter's
on a muddy Tuesday it was his 109,260 at
the top of the machine

Before I watch John play his brother, |
try to explain my pizza theory and how it
relates to high scores. 1 describe ripping
and waiting, and asks if he doesn't agree

Pac-Man & Power Dots

that a good Ms, game combines elements,
of both: the ruthless determination of the
ripper and the sublimated aguression of the
waiter. | explain that I'm nelther, and riot
only do I score poorly at Ms., but | usually
‘end up ordering another slice at the bar.

John isn't sure, and tries to convey In
words the technique that has become in:
stinct after a year of play. “I always wait for
a fruit. You hate to miss a fruit,”

John drops the quarters in the machine,
‘and as he plays admits that my analogy has
‘some strengths, My brother and I play dif-
ferently, Andy's Impatient, where I'l walt
and waft untl all four ghosts are lined up. |
guess he's more of a ripper than I am, if
that’s what you mean.”

I'm gutsier,” says Andy. “I do the same
amount of boards in a third of the time It
takes John."

John continues. “You have to know the
ghosts pretty well, The green one is shy,
but likes (0 predict what you'll do. The red
is nicknamed ‘Shadow,’ and he'll go
wherever you do, The orange has a set
pattern, which he'll stick to sometimes no
matter what you do, The pink Is the
hardest, I don't know what he's all about. A

correct jiggle will send him running, but
sometimes not, I'll show you."

John has eaten all but one power dot,
‘and he’s trying to “induce” the ghosts to

bunch up for a complete ‘kil. But by
demonstrating the characteristics of the
ghosts he loses concentration, and gets
caught "pathetically" early, Stil, he's earn:
ed an extra man, and has 11,470 points
without having cleared the first maze

Andy takes over while John muses on
his mistake — a muffed “grab and go,” "I
don't care, as long as Ihave three guys go-
ing into the blue boards,”

‘Andy's game more nearly resembles my
own serambling pursult of dots and ghosts
He is munching a hamburger with a non
chalance that is disarming, but he does ap:
Pear more aggressive, often chasing ghosts
across the entire board, instead of walting
for them to come to him. Like John, he
has trouble concentrating in these early,
slow rounds, and he drops a man early.

The pace begins to plek up, and John
begins to clear boards quickly and con
fidently. Mishaps are few and far between
— he'takes too long to munch an orange
and Is nearly devoured himself — but
where | would panic, the brothers barely
flinch. A mistake to the Ficos, rather, is
missing a shot at four ghosts and 1600
points — a “four-bagger" in Andy's terms.
John Is unhappy with the behavior of the
green ghost, and wonders why he's being
such a “pest.” Finally he gets it t fall in
ling, and he retains his perfect score —~ all
ghosts eaten, all frult consumed, Only by
his fourth board does he miss a ghos, but

¥e makes up for it wit i
bs nate vp th the grab of a 700

Andy Is erltical of John’s sloppiness, and
talks of “aHfactor,” which { think’ has
something to do With someone's portion of
good luck. John admis that pretzc! eating
olten takes an educated guess

“Andy is critical because he sees his Po,
regime going dawn,

“I fold you. Anytime you want to pla
for money...” |

The games go on and on, the evening’ |
most symbolic tableau that of a man and}
woman slumped against the bar wating]
thelr turn to play. They've reserved the
next game, but never counted on the Fico's |
40 minute duel, I's less than a duel,

ing on, 64,200 going into the sixth maze, |
97,000 poinis into the ninth, The com |
ments become more random as tie beats
down, “You don't have to see the ghosts
change — you ‘hear’ it.” “Attack the pink,

Aspects Centerfold

Inthe ever tightening job market,

the sciences are holding their own.

he Psychology major, accor
to Dr Gordon G. Gallup
chairman of the Psychol

artment, contains more undergrad
majors than any other department in
university. The department in total con
ximately 800 majors, which i

tains app
roughly two to three: hundred more majors
than the next most popular cours of

study Dr Gallup further elaborated on th
fact by stating that one out of every seven
undergraduates (by the time they have
twoched their junior year.) will des
themselves a psychology major. Although
few undergraduate majors originally
teniered as psychology, many of the people
in the department were pre-medical or pre
business majors

William D, Charmak

Wilh these fairly surprising statistics, one
may ask the reasons surrounding the
department's popularity. Does the depart
ment (major) designate a minimal
Workload?. Are most of the courses typice
ly easy “A" couses? Are there many oppor
tunities in the job market, when one holds
‘a bachelor of arts in psychology? The
answer to all of these questions Is no
‘Then, why is this the most popular major in
the university? Dr. Gallup explained that
the psychology major Is simply not the
sterotype of the “easy major” that so many
students have labeled it. He stated that the
program |s demanding, and that the
psychology department awards fewer of
the grades “A” and “B” than any other
academic department, Why then do
students choose to declare themselves
psychology majors and not majors of
another academic discipline?

Perhaps, because its interesting
Psychology as a course of study literally

iypes of majors there are those students
that have declared themselves as double

numerous majors there are also many
minors within the department; for again

The undergraduate major in
psychology, according ta Dr. Gallup, is

iimited fn terms of pursuing employment in
‘an occupation thal involves psychological
service. {t is Just about impossible to gain
some sort of employment that entalls
psychological duties with the bachelor of
arts degree. If one chooses to pursue a
career in some aspect of psychology,
graduate training is absolutely imperative
Minimally, a masters degree is needed
The majority of master’s programs, in
psychology riquire the completion of thirty
credits for'a semester calendar and fourty
five for a quarter calendar, Part of this total
usually must be spent at the institution
‘granting the master’s degree, Most students
complete these requirements through
course work and a thesis and extensive
research project. Admission to a master's
program varies with each institution. Most
fof the schools require results from the
Gradute Record Examination, extensive
recommendations, a minimum grade point
average and sometimes the knowledge of a
foreign language

Ideally, a doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD),
Is needed. Doctoral programs vary from
program 10 program in the number of

credit hour requirements, due to the fact
that the goal of most doctoral programs is
the dissertation. Upon entrance to a doc-
{oral program, the student may be required
{o take a preliminary examination prior to
receiving admission candidacy. In addition
to minimum grade point averages and
Gradute Record Examination scores, the
student is usually required to show a
reading knowledge of one, if not two,
foreign languages. The most common
languages are French, German, and Rus:
sian, Upon the completion of the doctoral
course work, the student develops a disser-
tation proposal (usually with assistance
from faculty mentors). The disssertation |
then written and submitted to a faculty
counsel. Following the submission of the
dissertation, the doctoral student usually
takes an oral examination based on the
topic of his or her thesis; hence an oral
defense

Both the master's and doctoral degrees
require a large commitment, in addition to,
of course, much determination. Generally,
‘@ master’s program can be completed in
two years of full time study, whereas the
doctoral degree can usually be completed
within four or five years

With a master's degree one can enter the
fields of Industrial psychology, Guidance
and Psychological Serves, Community
psychology anid School Psychology. Once
an individual has completed a master's

program he cannot take on the title of
psychologist”, though he or she can call
themselves a “therapist, The title of

psychologist only can come with the

credentials of a doctoral degree.

According to Dr Gallup the most
popular doctoral program Is in. clinical
psychology, Presently, clinical psychology
is one of the most difficult graduate pro

the fact that the employment outlook for

those who only hold the master’s degree

In contrast, Chemistry has not, so far

3 Music _for the Hay

Robert Schneider

These guys have been logeiher since
December, 1978, when lead vocalist Doug
Bennett left his advertising-cartoonist
aroer and formed the Slugs. They tried to
play local clubs around Vancouver, British
Columbia, although it was dificult for a
hnonedisco act. to recelve any major book-
ings In those days, So instead, they played
basement parties, church halls, and com-
munity centers, The locals loved the theme
parties that the band would play. If you
Were around Vancouver in 1980, you
might be invited to a “Ricky Ricardo
Romp" or maybe even a “Beach Blanket
Bongo.” Around this time, a single, "Too
Bad,” was released, ‘and it helped to
spread the Slugs’ reputation outside Van
couver. Their first album, Cognac and
Bolognasold 80,000 Canadian copies in lis
first 3 months. Last year saw the release of
Wrap It, which also did very well. Both
tecords are approaching the Canadian
standard for platinum status. With any luck
a all, Music For the Hard of Thinking will
ald the group In its search for popularity in
the Lower 48.

Its difficult, ifnot Impossible, to describe
exactly what Doug and the Slugs sound
ike, Doug himself has described it as
* your basle rock and roll but with a cer
tain katkaesque, grass roots Pavlovian ex
istential, New York liberal Jewish Intell

ig with a hit, especially if

the musicians in the Members would pro:
bably tell you. A minor hit in England back

has gotten some attention for the London

smile from a listener..For example, “Who
Knows How To Make Lave Stay,” leading
off side two, Is a pretty, breezy little tune
that defies you not to sing along with it
The only problem {s that only this song
owsn't have its lyrics printed In their place
Wwe find "read my lips.” Very funny. Doug
sings Jn his usual nasalione, but he also
throws in some sections of incredibly deep
singing, reminiscent of the gutsy baritones
of the late Fifties

When this record is compared with the
last one, Wrap lif we find the same novelty
tunes, but now there fs a much better sense
‘of musical arrangement. For example,
“Operator,” has the standard cutesy lyrics
but also features a smooth keyboard
beautifully nlaved by. Simon. Kandal..in
teracting with resonant drums and bass, It
all adds up to a great song. AS stated
before, Doug and the Slugs are reputed to
be a great live band, We get a sense of this

based band
While many are probably hearing about
the Members for the first time, the band has
been around for five years, After playing
the London club eitcuit fora while, they cut
their first album, Chelsea Nightclub, which
‘was released in the U.S, as an import. This
Was followed up by a world tour and a se
cond album, The Choice is Yours. Bassist
Chris Payne said last week's appearence at
the Chateau was part of a seven week four
of the U.S. which began in Cinneinatl
When they took the stage | found a
larger band than 1 expected — two
guitars, bass, drums, two horn players and
‘a lead vocalist, Besides sheer number, the
band’s altire was a bit unconventional
‘This created a commanding stage presence

most recently ruined...er,..covered by
George Thorogood, Doug and the Slugs
do a much better job, It was recorded in
front of a live audience, and from the
sound of it, they loved it, Lead guitarists
Richatd Baker and John Burton provide
smoky Jeads for Bennett to play with
‘Agoin, we can't seem to find any Iyries, but
we now find “get a case of beer and 27
friends and sing no no no til you're so
drunk that everyone thinks they're singing
{n tune"

I's definitely not hard to find bouncy,
happy songs on this record, One of the
funnier tunes is, “She's Looking At Me,”
The setting of this song is a sleazy singles
bar, where Doug and keyboardist Simon.
Kendal argue over which one Is being eyed
by a beautiful woman, To top It off, Ben=
neit Is squat and stocky, while Kendal is as

fall ANG Shinn aga tree, The two exchange
insults, which are mae turner by the
Jeepness of Kendal’s volce, With a litle im:

at the outset
They wasted no time tearing into some
heavy, driving tunes. The rhythm section
provided a strong lower end which alter:
nated between a rock and reggae while the
homs added funk. The outcome was uni:
que, danceable and energetic, Guitarist
Nigel Bennett threw in some fast licks but
never really had a chance to take off

The musicians say the Members have no
one leader but they do have a front
person — vocalist Nick Tesco, Nick doesn’t
‘appear to have a great voice but what he
lacks there, he makes up for in sheer
energy. He sweats, dances and generally
absorbs himself in the music, His only
drawback is that during @ couple of the

agination, it almost sounds like an argu
ment between Popeye and Bluto

It's a shame thal the weakest song on the
record should be a slow love song, "St
Lavrent Summer” just doesn't manage to
match the quality of all the other songs
Lyrically the song is pretty, and musically
it's almost haunting. Despite this, we can't
take Doug Bennett seriously when he sings
it, It may be that Bennett {s doomed to|
cron happy songs |

Last year, when Doug and the Slugs
played the now-charred J.B, Scotts, over
100 people were turned away from the
door, On the basis of Music for the Hard of
Thinking alone, an evening with Doug and
the Slugs will be Interesting, to say th
least, The only problem is that we are

the band. Anyway, that only lasted for a
couple of songs, The rest was full tilt}
boogie. |

The full house got thelr money's worth
as the band played for an hour and a half
with two encores. Some of those who
didn't try to make thelr way up front con
tented themselves sitting on the edge of the
long bar.

To the band’s credit {s the fact that they’
played “Working Girl” early in the set, It
showed they didn't feel they had to hold off
on the song in order to keep the audience's
attention. When they did perform the
song, there were obvious differences from
the album version. It became apparent that
the background vocals had been heavily
doctored jn the studio. There was also
other sloppiness that had probably been
eliminated in the studio,

However, this was probably the only
case where the album version was superior
to the live, Not unlike many newer bands,
the Members have not been able to capture
their excitement on vinyl. Payne himselt |
admitted, “our forte has been the live gig.”
It seems that it may be more time and
money in the studio to tum out the raw live
sound than it Is to put out a polished
album.

‘While they wait for an album that can do!
justice (o theit reggae funk-rock sound, it
seems the Members may have to rely on
Working Girl to sell albums and more im-
portantly, bring people to their live shows

fusically, though, this high turnover
p does tend to Indicate a lack of genuine
Bstance or feeling, and that's why pop
ik-punk Is so Invaluable, and also so Ig:
fed, The trends are fun, and thankfully,
always come and go, but melody, har-

One of the most promising
lopments in this music Is the over

Staying in Chapel Hill, DB Chris
Stamey’s It's a Wonderful Life strays the
farthest from pop, opting for a Beatles
sound circa Revolver more than, let's say,
Something New. Heavy on the slow, big
beat (thanks to something called the
Goovegate System and the OmniCraft
GT4), L.A.W.L. connects mostly
subliminally, interweaving the beat with
psychedella-looped guitar and Stamey's
60'ish whiney, drawn out vocals. On
“Never Enters My Mind” and especially
“Face of the Crowd,” things fit together
best, resulting in a distinct, grooved sound,
more subtle and intellectual than the DB's
all out exhilirating rave-ups.

Traveling up 1:95 all the way to
Hoboken, N.J; there is the Nuts and Bolts
LP from Richard Barone and James
Mastro, both from longtime faves the
Bongos (who incidentally have recently
been signed to RCA records, Yeah!). The
record Is split up into Richard's side and
James’ side, and although the best song on
the album is “I've Got a Secret," a pop
masterpiece found on Richard's side,
James' side {s the better of the two, more
‘onsistent and directed, Mastro proves
himself a terrific songwriter, from the hooks
‘and harmonica of "Time Will Tell," to the
beautiful acoustic guitar and vocals of "No
One Has to Know." On the Bongos’
>revious releases it has been Barone who's
stolen most of the spotlight, 50 Mastro’s
amergence is a very positive sign that the
Bongos are finally ready to realize thelr

tremendous potential

Lastly, going up the Thruway fo our own
beloved Albany, you ean put everthing I've
said aside this Saturday night and enjoy the
golden opportunity to actually not have to
take a ctitie’s word for everything, This
Saturday evening, 91 FM and the Chateau
Lounge (Hudson and Pearl Sireeis) are
proudly presenting, from Hoboken, the
Bongos, featuring the very same Richard
Barone and James Mastro, Being a secure
and even, dare I say, smug reviewer, | dare
you not to enjoy the Bongos in person.
See you there. }

‘A Year of Living Dangerously is more a

compliments her spontaneous counter
part, They are quite a pair; both admitting
they would be nowhere without the other.
Along with a staff of 45, the chairs selected
three area organizations to be the
beneficiaries of thelr efforts, The decision
Wes difficult, one which entailed soliciting
organizations, and conducting a lengthy
selection process with the entire staff

In past years, the orgainzations chosen
needed Telethon’s money to survive, This
year, however,.the staff did not find ony
group In that position. The funds of the
event will be used for "special programs,”
They will provide the children with other
facets besides studying; “some fun stuff,”
explained Kozin

Upon first glance they appear to be like
any other kids, but these are “special
children with special dreams,” Perhaps the

biggest problems for most of us are
midterms, a date for Friday night, or a
hangover Sunday morning for these kids,
some of the tasks we find commonplace
can prove almost Impossible. Actions and
experiences we may take for granted are
non-existant for many of these kids,

This year's recipients are the Wildwood
School, the Neurofibromatosis Founda-
fion, and Camp Opportunities, Inc, The
money will be divided among the groups
60:20:20 percent respectively

Wildwood, located in Schenectady, Is a
school that serves children, 3:21 years old,
with combinations of handicapped cond!
tions: neurological disorders, emotional
disturbances, learning disabilities, speech
‘and language problems, autism, and
seizure disorders,

The funds Wildwood receives will be us-
ed to develop an after-school recreation
program, In an attempt 19 bring the kids in:
fo the malnstream, It will provide these
children with alternatives to occupy thelt
leisure time,

Kozin explained that Wildwood was a
“sentimental favorite” with the staff this
year, as the money has been given jo the
schoo} on various occasidns in the past.

She added that the New York Nor-
theastern Chapter of Neurofibromatosis
Foundation (Von Ricklinghausen’s
Disease), was chosen because It “touched
us,” This organization had a valid need for
the money; to put together pamphlets for
parents and Kids explaining the disease and

Neurofibromatosis is a disorder of the
Nervous system by which tumors can form
on the nerves anywhere in the body at any

more, It Is linked to learning disabilities,
epilepsy, mental retardation, cancer and it

Cure or effective treatment other than
surgery on the tumors (which may grow
back and can cause early death, as was the

case of Joseph Merrick, In the movie "The

but feared that the currently weak
economy may stil take its toll. Helping
others and the smiles on the kids’ faces will
be the biggest payoff, admitted Kwasman,

Good for the whole

To the Editor

Student Associations are very powerful organizations
empowered {0 collect fees and appropriate them for the
“good of the whole'’. This revenue is in the hands of an
elected student body and is budgeted for student functions,
clubs, and organizations, This money rarely leaves the came
pus it is collected on,

One exception to that has been SASU. SASU is a collec-
tion of student associations, Each association is allowed
delegates, voting power, and can run for offices within
SASU. SASU deals purely with student issues, It is an
educational and lobbying organization for students.

NYPIRG however, is nor run by students, Students do
not have the same rights or control over the issues that they
do with SASU, The issues NYPIRG deals with are not
primarily student issues, and are often highly controversial,
Further, NYPIRG does not produce direct benefits {0 our
students, Therefore, in principle and practice NYPIRG
should not be funded by the student association,

Due to the negative reaction by this paper and many in-
volved with the suit I feet it necessary (o state the following,

Tam a firm believer in NYPIRG and many of {ts func:
tions, I have supported NYPIRG in many ways, But as an
undergraduate I lobbied hard to keep NYPIRG off campus
for the reasons stated above, I would do the same today. |
have no corporate ties, just strong ideals for a consistent,
highly principled, well-run student association,

A real alternative

To the Editor:

Thanks o Ron Bauer in his letter in Tuesday's ASP we
finally have the record straight about Students for Israel
(SFI) and the Revisionist Zionist Alternative (RZA). We
would like to suggest a real alternative: American Jewish
and Proud (AJAP), Our alternative differs from the others
in that we don’t suggest that to be a Jew one has to be a
Zionist

As Americans We recognize and appreciate the oppor
tunities and the freedom available to us in this country, As
Jews we feel strongly towards the survival of the state of
Israel as a homeland, But, most importantly, we realize
that as American Jews we have the strength and power to
help Israel: which should be encouraged and not denounc-
ed by Zionist groups and the like who do not appreciate the
al of this force
haye the might, don't suppress it, Become AJAP; be
American Jewish and Proud, We are

Calling names

To the Editor:
Maria, Maria, Maria (Muscarella)! 1 just could not sit
still and [ct your fetter to the ASP go unanswered, { find it
Very interesting that a woman of Italian descent (something
only a racist would notice—oops just kidding!) has decided
{o become such a staunch defender of Arab students and
culttire (we'll forgive you for conveniently slipping Deir
Yasin into your letter, a favorite to tell at Arab propaganda
conventions) when not one Arab student on campus was
disturbed or motivated enough to write a letter 10 the ASP.
Maria, [am not denying that Israel is indirectly respons!
ble for the “terrible tragedy"” which the Arab students on
campus and propaganda network feels compelled to con-
stantly remind us of—as “if the (killing of Palestinians) is a
part of the morning ritual of every (Istacli's) life’
words in quotes are yours, the woras in parentheses
mine). This was the findings of the Israeli Commission of

Inquiry. For a more complete picture of the incident, why
include Saad Hadaad’s, (leader of Christian
Phalangists, who are directly responsible for the incident)
face and a cross dripping blood on the poster? That would
probably not go over too well in a country whose popula-
tion is predominately Christian, and whom the Arab pro-
Paganda machine is trying to manipulate,

The real reason I wrote back to you via the ASPis not to
stir up hostilities between us or others on this campus. In
your letter, you accused me of being a racist, sarcastic,
hypocritical, and anti-Arab, This slander will not help you
win friends and influence people, Maria. Instead of calling
me all these names, call me on the phone and let's talk
about things over coffee. It's my treat, My number is in the
phone book. Bring along any friends you have who are
seriously interested in these problems,

This one meeting might be more productive than one
hundred unproductive letters to the ASP,

Peaceful protest

To the Editor:

In 1943, a “religious'* leader by the name of Haf Amin el
Husseini was a guest of Adolf Hitler at a Nazi rally in
Berlin, "The Germans," Husseini said admiringly, "know
how to get rid of the Jews.”

In 1983, a representative of the terrorist group that calls
{iself the “Palestinian Liberation" Organization, by the
name if Hatem Hussaini, carries on his infamous relative's
work, This Saturday, March 19th, Hussaini will bring his
campaign of hate to this campus when he speaks al an event
sponsored by the Arab Students Association,

We as concerned students of various political and
feligious beliefs, have united together to protest peacefully
this outrageous individual and the organization he
Fepresents, We invite Jews, Christians, Moslems and all
siudents who share our indignation to join us, the Student
Coalition Against Terrorism (SCAT), when we protest and
make our voices heard on Saturday at 2;15p.tn, in front of

Nestle clarifies

To the Editor:

Because of student interest on SUNY Albany's campus, |
would like the opportunity to clarify the policies and prac
tices of Nestle with regard fo the sale of infant formula in
developing countries,

As you may well know, the World Health Organization
adopted a Code of Marketing for Breastmilk Substitutes in
May, 1981, Nestle has a strong record of progress and sup:
port in implementing the WHO Code, including immediate
endorsement of its aim and. principles, The company
{estified its support for the Code before the U.S, Congress
in June, 1981

After considerable investigation the company determined
that few developing countries were instituting a national
code as recommended by the WHO, Consequently, Nesile
issued Instructions to all ils employees, agents, and
listributors. in every developing country where Nestle
markets infant formula, detailing exactly how Nestle would
Unilaterally implement the WHO Code. tn addition, pur-
suant to article 11,3 of the Code, the Nestle Infant Formula
Audit Commission, chaired by former Secretary of Siate
and Senator Edmund S, Muskie, was established to oversee
Nestle's compliance with these Instructions and 10 in
vestigate reported violations of the WHO Code.

The Commission is a fully independent body composed

of emilnient scientists, academicians, and clergy, During the
Commission's formation in May, 1982 Senator Muskie
stated in @ UPI wire services report that “(fit appears the
company is attempting a cover-up we'll report it,"

On October 14, 1982 NIFAC presented its First Quarter-
ly Report announcing Nestle's agreement to comply with
the Commission's recommendations to improve the In-
structions, As a result of the Commission's suggestions,
Nestle issues revised Instructions to its personnel in
developing countries, Muskie sald in this report that Nestle
has ‘demonstrated a willingness to respond positively to
the imperative of change in {ts marketing policies, In doing
50, it has responded positively to the public interest as
stated in the WHO Code,"

Ih November, 1982 the General Council of Ministries of
the United Methodist Church, which examined the issue for
wo years, voted by a tWo-to-one margin not to boycott,
This church—the second largest Protestant denomination
in the U.S. voted (o discourage other oganizations from
boycoiting. Furthermore, on January 27, 1983 the
American Federation of Teachers and the Federation of
Nurses and Health Professionals with a membership over a
half a million withdrew their support of the boycott,

The Commission will continue its strict audit of Nestle's
compliance with the Revised Instructions and the WHO.
Code. NIFAC members are undertaking thorough in-

To the Editor:

During the week of March 14 (0 March 17 (Monday (o
Thursday), I noticed in most of the classrooms and lecture
centers that | have been in advertisements for “Where does
your ladder of success lead to?" and “How do you spell
*Suuccess!2"” written on the blackboards sponsored, seem:
ingly, by something called College Lite which meets on
Thursday at 9:00 pm in CC 375, As 1 have never heard of
College Life, t have done some research and, lo and
heliold, this is really being sponsored by the Campus
Crusade for Christ

Tfhaye one simple question for the leaders and members
Of the "Crusade!"; Whatare you afrald of? 11 you sponsor
an event, Why don’t you say so instead of hiding behind a
pseudonym or by making no reference to sponsorship
whatsoever? | don't object to haying the Crusade’? spon
Soring anything, that would be wrong of me, however 1 do
haye an objection to hiding the fact that they are sponsor
ing something.

Thore should be a policy about this, Bach and every SA
funded or recognized organization should take any éredit
and full responsibility for everything they sponsor. We
have {0 protect everyone's freedom of speech but there is,
1 should be, a right (0 @ freedom from being mislead, 1
don't know about anyone else but 1 thought that this was
being sponsored by Career Planning and Placement
originally, and what CPP would say to me is far different
from what the "Crusade"? would say to me,

Don’t hold your breath

To the Editor:

1 for one am sick and tired of picking up a copy of the
ASP and being plagued with endless articles thal tend to
center entirely around one member of the execull
branch's insipid attack on Central Council and in turn
couricil’s $0 very predictable rebuittal,

The Student Association is not meant to be a forum for
politic ground that revolves around a group
ed egos, overwhelmed with self” importa
or not this is how it really is, is not in question,
The ASP's coverage of the organization j

The Student body's view of SA is based on the unending
coverage of trite arguments between various members, of
the organization and the sensationalistic coverage of Mike
Corso's political activism, 1 have walked into the Student
Assuclation’s office inumerable times, merely as a member
Of the student body, wishing (0 discuss my ideas with one of
the officials 1 helped to elect, The majority of them wer
ist playing the role of activist superhero but the one person
the ASP seems to have overlooked in their coverage was sit-
ting in her office speaking to one of her (yes believe it or not
Someone in that office pays attention to his/her) consti-
tuents, In my opinion the office of the Vice President is
open to any student wishing to make a suggestion or just
chat about SA and how it works. But if you are waiting 10
‘gel Into any of the other offices—don't hold your breath,
Although many of the things that Anne Marie La Porta has
accomplished during her term have been perhaps less tangi-
ble than those that Mike Corso has completed, they are
nonetheless well deserving of commendation from both the
ASP, and the student body. If she is to be commended for
nothing else she should at least be credited with following
through on President Corso's campaign platform—com-
‘munication.

Public access TV gives local view

By David Michaelson

STAPE WRITE:

Public access
Hold town cryer,

V can function as a community's

concentrating on local issues, but {t
j according to a New York University
Albany cable subscribers, however, can
look forward’ to an expanded public access system
beginning sometime this summer.

George Stoney, a professor at NYU's Alternate
Media Center spoke in the Capitol Building Tuesday
morning during a briefing sponsored by the State
Legislative Commission on Science and Technology,

Known as "'the Godfather of public access,"" Stoney
explained public access can provide “ordinary peoplea
chance to speak for themselves,"* He continually drew
the distinetion between this and commercial TV's com:
munity coverage, which he said only focuses on the
dramatic and sensational

Stoney provided examples of public access program
ming including a program made in Albany called
“Assembly Calendar,’® featuring an interview with
Latham Assemblyman Michacl Hoblock, Stoney said
public access is an especially valuable resource for
enriching local politics. ‘I'm constantly amazed as |
go around the country to see what affect cable has on
municiple polities," he commented, “Isn't it a relief to
see someone not put on the hot seat by a
alist?!” said Stoney, referring 10 the

dung jour
Assembly

commercial TV, explained Stoney, the
Coverage of politicians and news miist make its way
ast ‘gatekeepers!’—people who control what infor-
Mation reaches the masses and what does not, Public
access, he said, enables lesser known candidates to get
their views across, “I think thar with judicious use of
this,"" said Stoney, “it will make public office more
available,"

Stoney slipped another tape into his VCR. The tape,
Made by former steelworkers, shows how the closing
Of Bethlehem Steel shattered their community, Cont-
Mereial TV, he contended, cannot examine an issue in
the manner of the particular people affected, He sald
the program shows “what happens after the networks
go homie,"* And cable companies, Stoney sald, are less
than enthusiastic

Capitol Cablevision Prog
ton acknowledged that in the past, eable companies
have “left public access to fend for liself,"" One reason
for this, Thornton contended, was that although
public access was met with great excitement when cable
way first introduced the hovelty gradually wore off in
the community

As it is, cable companies have their franchise
agreements reviewed every five years or so, Thornton
explained, This motivates cable companies (o make
“sincere effort" in public And Capitol
Cablevision, he said, is "going from 010 10" with such
an effort,

Public access channels, Stoney explained, take up
channels that can be more lueratively employed by the
cable companies for uses such ay advertising and leas
ing for private interests, Additionally, he sald, cable
companies must often provide expensive studio time
and equipment

As a resull, there, has been a bill proposed in the
Senate and backed by the National Cable Association,
Which would place primary jurisdiction over cable in
the hands of the Federal Communications Bureau
This would. pre-emipt localities from regulating, the

Federal budget burdens

45
State's 1983 budget considerably?
exvceds the federal cuts, and must
be altributed more to the recession
than the reductions in federal aid.

And since the state passed some
of the federal reductions down to
the local governments, the state did
not “bear {is full burden,"’ they
said, For this reason state employ-
ment cuts due to federal changes
were nol extensive,

The federal budget cuts came at a
time when the state could not
replace the funds, the professors
sald, Compensation for the federal
cuts by the state would have revers-
ed the economic revitalization
polley of the state — to increase aid
{o focal governments while at the
same time reducing selected tax
rates Lo Iry fo lure business into the
state — by requiring Increased tax
rates,

The major exception, they cited,
was the 5 decision to help two
groups made ineligible for AFCD,
namely women three to six months
pregnant with thelr first child and
students between 18 and 21,

These two groups, according 10
the study, were picked up by Home
Relief, a program funded by the
state and its localities, The state and

localities protected some of Its
neediest residents from the Impact
Of the federal cuts by funding cer-
mandated services with non:
federal sources of revenue, the
‘study pointed out,

The study says the Reagan ad-
ministration’s policy of
deregulating has done little to
reduce unregulatory activity by the
stat

Lurie said she did not know if the
federal government had an inten-
tion 10 get the state 10 reduce
regulatory activity or not, since that
way the weakest part of their study,
‘and not many people had anything
to say about it,

New York, cording to the
study, enforces most regulations
because the state's citizens support
them, not because of federal re-

stances "New York was a model for
the rest ‘of the nation turing the
years of increasing federal regula-
tion.’ Several state administrators
argued that the degree of federal
deregulation has bert exagyerated,
it said.

The fiscal effects of the FFY 1982

budget. cuts, were, on; the whole,
‘overestimated by local fovern-

ments, the professors said, Non-

“Contrary (o the fears, of many

the 1981 federal budget cuts, the ef-
fects were ‘complex, subtle and
muted during the first year,’ the
report concluded, But it also pro-
Jected that the effects in New York
State will be more dramatic in FFY
1983, The changes are expected to

policy areas, in local capital pro-
gram choices, and in state/local
relations;

Lurle and Liebschutz also claim
that reductions in state employment
was minimal in FFY 1982 in al}
departments except the Department
of Lnbor in’ FFY 1983 as a result of
cuts in federal aid, and that the im-
pact will be greatest in the State

Two Albany students in 1200 Mile Run for Heart

Mark Levine
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

They will begin running on June
1 of this year, They will finish some
time near the middle of August.
They will run through six states and
cover approximately 1,200. miles,
averaging in the neighborhood of
22 miles each running day, They are
funning for charity, with all pro-
ceeds going to the American Heart
Association. They are Blake Mar-
son and Lig Neporent, and their
story Is truly remarkable,

Marsony a senior here at Albany

Marson sald.

The plannfg and scheduling for
the run has {aken a tremendous ef-
fort on the part of Marson and
Neporent. On December 28 of last
year they received an official spon-
sorship letter from the Heart
Association, With that taken care
of, the next steps involved writing
away for maps and information 10
places all over New England,

“writing the letters and mapping.

hing we had to do," Neporent
said. “We had to write to all the

helpful, We sent out about 100 let-

Marson, who haily from
Bellmore, NY., comes from a
background where running has
played a major role in his family's
recreational activities,

“You might say that | come from

“My father does 4 lot of running,

The idea of the 1200 Mile Run for

Marson and Neporent wanted to see

however, is done off the track and.

‘We do most of our running ou

Two laurels for Dieckelman

John Dieckelman can add yet two more laurels to his crown
The 6'5" senior center was noted SUNYAC: East Playor-of-tho
Year In a poll of all the East division coaches and was selectea
to the All:SUNYAG team for the third consecutive season.

Dieckelman led all scorers in the SUNYAC with a 20.5
average in conference competition. The lefthander from the
Albany area finished the 1982-83 season with a 16.3 overall
average.

Dieckelman was joined on the All:SUNYAC team by Cor-
{land's Tom Spanbauer, Potsdam's Leroy Witherspoon, Platt:
sburgh’s Paul Glodis, Oneonta's Mike Pocyntyluk and the
University of Buffalo's John Fitzpatrick as repeaters,

An All-American candidate, Dieckelman was edged In the
tabulations for SUNYAC Player-of-the-Year by Leroy Gettys of
Buffalo State, Gettys, who averaged 17.4 points and six re
bounds a game, led the Bengals to an 18-5 record and second
place in the conference.

Cortland Red Dragon coach Bill Willlams won Coach-of-the-
Year honors. A sophomore coach, he directed his team to an
Impressive 7:3 conference record and 16-7 overall,

fairly simple, Marson and Neporent
are looking for people 10 sponsor
them per mile, After deducting the
expenses they ineur during the trip,
the duo will donate the money to
the Heart Association. By getting
different organizations 10 provide
them with sportswear, housing or
anything else that will help them to
cut down on expenses, the pair are
‘tlempting to have as much money
$ possible remaining for the
Association, They hope to donate
‘about $2,000.

As far as the Run itself is con:
cerned, the two see it as a challenge
but also expect to haye a lot of fun.
*Mentally, 1 don't think it will be
as hard as a marathon, where you
have to go all out for 26 miles. This
Will be much more relaxing, We're
hot really concerned with how fast
We run, we just want to finish,’
Neporent said

“10 like taking a trip while we're
running," Marson added,
ferent from a race, where it's a real
grind, always thinking wbout time.
Physically, it will be very deman-

ing, but mentally it won't be as
{ough as running in a marathon,

If their physical capabilities are
half a strong as their heart and
courage, the Run will no doubt bea
huge success.

fort can contact Blake or Liz at

Arabs preach Palestinian view as Jews protest

By Ben Gordon

STAEE WRITER:

‘Accusing the Arab Students Association of
being a front for Palestine Liberation
Organization propaganda, campus Jewish
groups protested the presence of a PLO
Tepresentative at an ASA lecture Saturday.
ASA President Zari Saleh insisted, however,
that the lecture was meant simply to inform
the public about Arab viewpoints,

ASA and Revisionist Zionist Alternative
both agreed the protest stayed within the area
designated by the university — in front of
Lecture Center one, The Jewish groups’ sing.
Ing and chants of such slogans as, '*Hell no,
PLO," were occasionally audible inside the
Iecture room, but according to RZA Presi-
dent Hilsenrath, ‘as far as the ASA goes
they had no problem with the protest at all,’

However, Saleh pointed out that noise
from the Jewish protest occasionally drown-
ed out the lecture proceedings, "More than
fen people from the audience requested that
the yolume of the microphones be
increased," he said, adding, "We don't mind
their demonstration, as long as one can still
hear the speaker,"”

ASA member Mohammed Kayed confirm=
ed that the ASA felt that the protest fell
within their right 10 fee speech, ASA Presi
dent Salch, however, said that the purpose of
the "Teach-In'" was to educate, and he wish
ed the protesters would come listen fo the lec
tures.

Dr. Mohammed Hallaj, the first speaker
on the program, spoke for approximately 20
minutes on Palestine and the cultural identity
of the Palestinian people, Hallaj, who is
director of the Institute of Arab Studies, said
that Palestinian culture is in Jeopardy duc to

Constitution question confuses Junior Council

By Heidi Gralla
STATEWAITER

Controversy surrounding a missing constitution and
election procedures has stirred confusion and frustration
within the Class of 1984 Council

The confusion is aggravated by unverifiable amend-
ments and the constant change of voting status among.
members of the Council

The inaccessibility of the constitution recently became a
heated issue within council when several members re-
quested a copy in order to propose an amendment, accor-
ding to class council member Dan Robb. The amend-
ment, Robb explained, would allow for all Class of '84
members to elect officers. Currently, the entire class elects
a council, and the council, in turn, votes on officers

According to former class president Tom Phillips, at
the beginning of the freshman year clection for class
council members and officers were open to all class
members. After a “very poor turnout,” the constitution.
was amended to conduct class council elections university-
wide, but hold elections for officers within the class coun-
cil, Phillips explained that his was done to prevent people
from running for offices for “selfish”? reasons such as
wanting a title, and fo prevent clections from becoming
a popularity contest."”

Class council member Johanna Sarracco said she would

Wide election,"*

Regarding the issue of the availability of the contitu.
tion, Class President Chip Fody explained that he was
never given a copy from previous officers, and added that
he never asked for one, 1 knew what was in the constitus
tion," he sald, “and anything I didn't know 1 just asked
Tom (Phillips), He's as good a resource as having one
(Constitution)." However, Fody added that Phillips had
lent him a copy of the constitution fast year, but he had
returned it after reading it

Phillips, who was studying in Denmark last semester,
apparently has the only copy of the constitution at his
house on Long Island, Phillips said he plans to bring the
Constitution back {0 school after the vacation “and
hopefully, we can straighten out this mess."?

Consitutfons of all SA groups are supposed to be on file
in the Student Association and Student Activities offices,
according to Assistant Director of Student and University
Affairs Jessicn Casey, However, she explained that copies
of all class constitutions are with the exception of

SA Office Manager Rita Levine noted thal the situation
is the same at the SA office. She questioned whether or
not the constitution was ever filed.

“According to the index sheet it was not here last sum>

Casey was unable 10 say whether the constitution was
previously filed with the Si dent Activities office because
she has only eon at her pr sent fob for one year

Although she contends tliat she has never seen a copy
of the constitution, Casey commented, “There is no.
doubt in my mind that there was a constitution at some
time,!” She explained that sometimes groups will borrow
a eonstitution and forget 10 return tt.”

Fody said the fact that a constitution is missing from
both offices ‘seems strange” but is probably just a ‘til
ing error."

Class of *84 Secretary Ellen Murray and Treasurer Pete
Giglio, both maintained that they've never seen a copy of
the constitution

Class council member Ann Marle LaPorta said she

Several council members complained that they are be

However, Phillips attacked some of the members who
