Cuomo blasted by gay advocates

By Marc Humbert

(AP) Gay rights activists

Saturday of. giving in to
conservative forces by not
Standing behind his own
administration’s order barring
military recruiters from a state
university.

“Tt’s a slap in the face for the
gay community,” said William
Rubenstein, director of the
American Civil Liberties
Union’s Lesbian and Gay
Rights Project.

The order, issued Thursday
by the state’s Office of
Lesbian and Gay Concerns,
would prohibit military
recruiters from the 26,000-
student State University of
New York at Buffalo because
of the armed forces’ refusal to
accept homosexuals. The order
resulted from a complaint filed
in October by Terry Mayor, a

Governor Cuomo claims he cannot enfore an order barring military recruiters from state universities.

SUNY Buffalo’s law school.

The case began after Mayo
and others complained that the
university discriminated
against homosexuals by
allowing the Judge Advocate
Corps, the military’s legal
branch, to recruit through
SUNY-Buffalo’s career
development office.

The university contended it

homosexuals did not violate
any state or federal law. There
is no state law that bars
employer discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation,
although Cuomo has proposed
such legislation.

On Friday, after hours of
discussion, Cuomo aides
announced that a state law
requiring military recruiters be
allowed on any public campus

Some critics accused Cuomo
of bowing to political concerns
and pressure from
conservatives,

Cuomo spokeswoman Anne
Crowley said, however, that
“the simple fact is state law
does not allow the governor to
enforce that type of
restriction” on the university.

The order had drawn a sharp
rebuke from New York

Ferris under fire for alleged racist remarks

By Tanya Egnuss
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Alleged racist remarks made by
Amsterdam Board of Education member
Charles Ferris have sparked outrage in the

File by University Photo Service
"The educational system can not be properly
restructured with close-minded board
members,” Mayml sald.

remarks were misinterpreted.

According to an August 8th article in
The Recorder by Teresa Cuda, Ferris said
during the board meeting in July, certain
contributions by Latino people in South
America have been disastrous.

The July board meeting addressed the
newly approved Regents’ policy regarding
multicultural education, as it pertained to
the implementation of this policy in the
Greater ‘Amsterdam School District.
Ferris’ alleged comments referred to the
curriculum of inclusion regarding
contributions made by ethnic minorities.

The Recorder also quoted Ferris,“The
Spanish people in South America, for
instance, can’t run a country without total
chaos. You don’t find that in western
civilization because people are reasonably
intelligent and know how to do things.”

Ferris denies making these comments at
the board meeting, but admitted speaking
to the reporter at a later time.

“I said nothing anti-Hispanic in my

original comments to her...and what I said
about being enthusiastically in support of
the fair treatment of ethnic groups in a
multicultural curriculum were left out...”

“What I said was I believe the South
American people had been exploited for a
very long time by their govermments.... Is
that anti-Hispanic? Look at all the people
who have ‘disappeared’ in Chile and
Argentina...is it anti-Hispanic to talk
about that? No, it’s not,” Ferris said.

“Is it anti-Hispanic to ask a key basic
question like, ‘If it’s so rosy in all those
countries, then why are they coming up
here in droves?,” Ferris asked.

“I’m not anti-Hispanic...but the fact is
they have had some problems handling
their own affairs,”Ferris said.

-A forum on “Hispanic Related Issues in
the High School Education System” was
requested by board member Michael
Decker and is scheduled to take place
Wednesday evening at Amsterdam High
School at 7:30 pm.

Ferris is still being pressured by the
Latino community to either resign from
his post or officially retract his allegedly
biased statement.

José Maymi, Student Association (SA)
director of multicultural affairs, said, “A
man like Charles Ferris, with so much
power to create new policies dealing with
the educational system, has to aide the
inclusion of new ideas. We must set an
example not to tolerate behavior like this
in the district.”

Other members of the SUNYA
community, including Fuerza Latina, the
Latino Greek Council, and the SA
multicultural affairs division, are issuing a
joint statement responding to Ferris"
alleged comments.

“The educational system can not be
properly restructured with closed-minded
board members,” Maymi said. Maymi
also observed the members of the board
were in their fifties, very few members
were in the 35-40 year old range. This

Bush seeks UN repeal
United Nations
(AP) President Bush called Monday for the
repeal of a 1975 United Nations resolution
that equates Zionism with racism, saying it is
time to address old feuds that bedevil world
peace.
In remarks before the U.N. General
Assembly, Bush said Iraq was contemptuous
of U.N. resolutions that require Saddam
Hussein's regime to cooperate with UN
inspection teams looking for mass weapons,
"His contempt continues even as I am
speaking," said Bush.

‘In his speech, Bush said that to equate
Zionism ‘with racism " is to reject Israel
itself."

“Zionism is not a policy, it was an idea

Moose under control

Kenai, Alaska
(AP) The Kenai Municipal Airport is
ordering a security system with a special
feature - a $6,800 turnstile designed to let
moose out without letting them back in.

The large animals have been lounging on
Tunways, swimming in the float plane basin
and grazing along the grassy strips all year.

"We've had occaisions where the moose
were headed toward the runway and the
tower people were able to divert the flight,":
said airport manager Randy Emst. "It's a
continuing problem."

Airport officials this summer tried
rounding up the moose with tranquilizers,
trucks and helicopters, but without success,

Enmst said.

‘The problem, Ernst said, is that the airport
has 54 gates, and people are always leaving
them open. The airport has ordered an
electronic gate system, and the moose
turnstile is a stopgap measure until the bigger
system is installed.

Fences arranged like a funnel will lead a
moose into the 6-foot-high turnstile, which
the moose can push only one way. Once a
moose is inside, there's no tuming back.

Emst said the gate was designed by state
officials to keep moose of the Glenn

Albany
(AP) Greyhound's accident rate jumped 60
percent last year amid a strike that resulted in
the hiring of hundreds of replacement
drivers, a newspaper reported.

Greyhound, the nation's largest intercity
bus company, said it logged 113 million
fewer miles last year than in 1989. But it
wound up with 22 more accidents, according
to Federal Highway Administration data
published Sunday by The Times Union of
Albany.

The increase in accidents, combined with
the 31 percent decline in miles driven, means
Greyhound's accident rate per million bus
miles went from .56 in 1989 to .90 in 1990, a
60-percent increase, the newspaper reported.

After the strike began in March1990, one
passenger was killed and 112 were injured in
six separate crashes in which police suspect
a Greyhound driver fell asleep. The latest
wreck occurred Aug. 20, 70 miles north of
Los Angeles when a bus rear-ended a
produce truck, injuring 20 people.

Pay hike is small

New York
(AP) Pay increases for teachers last year
were the smallest in 18 years, reflecting the
Tecession's drain on state and local school
budgets, a teacher union reported Saturday.

The average public school teacher eared
$32,880 in 1990-91, up 5 percent from the
previous school year, according to the
American Federation of Teachers’ annual
survey.

Starting teachers, meanwhile, averaged
$21,542, up 4.9 percent from 1989-90. AFT
President Albert Shanker said low starting
levels left the teaching profession ill-
equipped to compete for capable college

“This is not encouraging because
beginning offers in business for new college
graduates remained high compared to
beginning teacher salaries in 1991, ranging
from 51 percent more for engineers to 14
percent more for liberal arts graduates,”
Shanker said.

“All indications are that salary increases
will be even worse next year," he said.

PERB hears appeal from graduate students

By Rob Irwin
The Public Employees
Relations Board (PERB) of New

York State heard oral arguments
Monday in an appeal of a 1986
decision which dismissed a
petition from graduate student
employees who wanted to
unionize within the SUNY
system.

The Graduate Student
Employees Union (GSEU), first
formed in Buffalo, has since
spread throughout the SUNY
system. The unionization claims
to be essential to negotiating
better working conditions.

Problems with health care
insurance, wages, unfair
grievance procedures and
discrimination all need to be
addressed, said Chris Yestuto,
projects director for the GSEU.

At issue is whether graduate
student employees are covered
by the Taylor Act, which governs
telationships between state and
local workers and the
government agency which
zmploys them. If they are

protected, they then have the
tight to’ become members of an
organization that wants to
bargain on their behalf.

In 1986, PERB Administrative
Law Judge Crotty was assigned
to the case. He ruled, “The
assistant’s employment is an
incident of their academic
enrollment and subordinate to
their student relationship, and
thus is not one covered by the
[Taylor] act.”

A resolution adopted by the
SUNY Board of Trustees on
January 24, also supports the
principle that the primary
relationship between a supported
graduate student and the
University is as a student and not
as an employee.

Not everyone holds this
position. “Graduate employees
are entitled to coverage by the
Taylor Act and are entitled to be
represented for collective
bargaining. If PERB agrees, the
employees should be part of
UUP,” said Union of University

Hispanic Heritage Month

‘By Lance Vallis

The University at Albany has
announced it will be celebrating
Hispanic Heritage Month, from
September 15-October 15.

“It is a time for Latinos to
yeflect on their traditions and to
take a new perspective on their
contributions,” a Student
Association representative said
Saturday.

“Hispanic Heritage Month is a
time to celebrate our uniqueness
and customs,” Multi-Cultural

Affairs Director Jose Maymi
said. “Sub-cultures of Latino
cultures are unique. Our
uniqueness makes us valuable to
all of society.”

The celebration, organized by
Fuerza Latina and the
Department of Latin American
and Caribbean Studies has been
supported well, Maymi said.
Organizations such as the
University for a Just Community,
the University president’s office,
the SA’s Affirmative Action

Abiodun Oyewole (left) and Felipe Luciano (right)

oalitian Against Apartheid and Racism. Backing the
poets with rhythm were Ade and Druis Knowles,
members of the musical group The African Connection.
e performance received a standing ovation.

Professionals counsel Ivor
Moskowitz. Moskowitz
presented UUP’s argument to
PERB yesterday. Graduate
student employees are
performing the same amount of
work as professors and therefore
should be “acceded” into the
UUP, Moskowitz said.

The GSEU agrees graduate
student employees are entitled to
coverage by the Taylor Act.
They do not, however, believe
the workers intrinsically fit into
any union.

“Tt comes down to a graduate
student employee’s right to self-
determination,” Yestuto said. “It
is a good likelihood PERB will
tule for the State or GSEU, not

the UUP.” he said.
A successful appeal by the
GSEU would not mean

unionization is guaranteed. The
GSEU has to be elected by
graduate student employees to
represent them. The organization
would first have to garner
signatures from 30 percent of the
workers.

Regardless of the state board’s
decision, a strategy will be
implemented to begin a
membership drive on the
SUNYA campus. If the ruling is
against the GSEU, they will
attempt to build a strong
organization in an effort to gain
tecognition by the University.

Following the example of Yale
University graduate employees,
the SUNYA GSEU will begin a
Signature drive to recruit
members. “Protests will not get
more members; they only make a
big splash,” said GSEU State
Treasurer Anne Masters,

The GSEU at UMass-Amherst
lost a similar decision, but was
still able to gain recognition by
their administration.

On the SUNYA campus, the
Graduate Student Organization
(GSO) has not taken a stand on
whether there should be a union.
They do support the right to vote
on unionization, according to
Masters, who is also the GSO’s
vice president.

(CUNY) when he is inaugurated
in October, Maymi said.

According to a source in the
Department of Latin American
and Caribbean Studies, “(Dr.)
Fernandez’s achievement has
served as a role model for Latino
students, just as University at
Albany President H. Patrick
Swygert has been one for
African-Americans.

“One of the problems existing
here at the University regarding
the topic of Fernandez’s speech
is diversity within the
curriculum,” Maymi said.
“Western philosophies have
always been given great
attention.”

Maymi noted there has been
some changes made. “Recently,
African-American ethics and
values have been given more
emphasis. Equal opportunity
should be given to what Latino
culture is all about. The number
of Mexicans, Cubans and Puerto
Ricans is rising. Non-Hispanics
should understand the culture of
the Latino race.”

Also scheduled is an open
student form entitled “Latinos
and Sex Roles” which will be
held on Tuesday, Octoberl in the
Campus Center Assembly Hall.

The forum will deal with the
machismo attitude found in Latin
American men. “Often in Latino
marriages,” Maymi says, "the
wife suffers physical and mental
abuse from her husband. The
husband behaves irresponsibly
and abuses his spouse’s love for
him. The forum is aimed at
bringing about better
understanding in the Latino
community.”

The month is also an
opportunity to focus on present
day concerns of the Latino
community,” Maymi said.
“These concerns include Latino
empowerment, or Latinos
helping Latinos. This involves
improving the quality of life for
Latinos, such as better housing
and education.”

Due to the perseverance of}
Adam Ortiz and Anthony Torres||
the University at Albany is the|
first institution of higher
education to successfully form al
Latino Greek Council (LGC),
according to Jose Maymi, the
SA multicultural affairs director.

Prior to the formation, the
Latinos were part of the Pan
‘Hellenic Council, the African-|
American Greek organization.

“Administrators believed that
combing the two cultures met]
their standards for a just
community,” president of Fuerza|
Latina and initiator of the LGC)
Ortiz said.

“Latinos felt they were not!
being fairly represented,
[Through the LGC, ideas andj

Anthony ‘Torres, _co-|

Program (C-Step) and
coordinator ~=of LGC,
sympathized: with Latino}
iconcems.

“After going through the|
lUniversity as a student, ||
understand what interests Latino}

pupils have.

“(Anthony) Torres was the|
only Latino administrator to
support the idea of LGC,” Ortiz)
said.
The LGC has set out to}
accomplish many goals. Among!
them, “to promote community
service; to retain Latino students}

Ortiz cited its goal as
generally “to create an

UPD’s jurisdiction questioned
Officers ask for more protection

 |By Theo Turque
|ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

For years, the University Department of Public Safety (UPD) has been fighting the pressing issues of|
authority, jurisdiction, and boundaries.

Legally, the UPD’s jurisdiction is limited to the campus and roadways adjacent to the campus,
according to John Henighan, assistant director of UPD.

Henighan described one example of the problems UPD is facing. On the way to Draper Hall|
(downtown campus), UPD responded to a domestic dispute. A man was beating up a woman, he said,
“We have no jurisdiction...The law doesn’t protect [us]...We had no suits brought against us - so far,” he}
added.

UPD drives squad cars, they carry guns, have the same training as police officers and yet are restricted|
to specific boundaries, Henighan said.

“SUNY’s public safety are peace officers,” according to Henighan. “We are the only peace officers|
with the same law enforcement responsibilities as police officers,” he added.

UPD gets their responsibilities from Criminal Procedure Law (CPL) and from the education laws of
the State of New York, he said. According to the education law, University peace officers cannot}
automatically carry fire arms like a police officer. University peace officers can only carry guns with a|
permit.

Presently, there are only four or five SUNY campus public safety units that carry guns.

“We're police officers in function - in reality we’re peace officers with geographic limitations,”
Henighan said.

Carrying guns is based on the desires of the campus president. “If you’re gonna do law enforcement
|jobs, [a gun] should be available. If you’re gonna be responding to a gamut of crimes around here the|
officer should be able to protect himself and the community,” Henighan said.

“Tf we're gonna be police - we're trained like police - let’s be police.”

Graduate students to assemble

By Rob Irwin

The semester’s first meeting
of the Graduate Student
Organization (GSO) will be held
this Friday at 4:30pm in Campus
Center room 375.

The GSO provides an easy
way to participate in the
graduate community, according
to GSO Vice President Anne
Masters. Every department
entitled to representation in the
GSO Assembly. For every 40
graduate students who have paid
the $15 per semester fee, a

department can send one
representative and one alternate,
according to a GSO bulletin.

Early participation can help
set the tone of the assembly, said
GSO President Michael Brown.
“This year’s agenda has not been
set. It will be fixed at the
upcoming meetings,” Brown
said.

The Grants and Waivers
Committee, which provides
stipends for research and travel,
will be lobbying for money to

pay travel expenses for grad
students presenting papers to
academic conferences.

The GSO will sponsor a party
in the Patroon Room Friday
night at 8pm with Jazz and
comedy entertainment.
Admission is free for those who
have paid their GSO fee.

events call the GSO office at

Soviets say, “We're
not going to take it”

By Tom Murnane
JEWS EDITOR
“Power of Glasnost” forum expert Dr.
Henryk Baran, Chair of the Slavic’
(Department, described the vivid changes!
in the Soviet People he has seen since he
was a doctoral student in the USSR in!
1972.

Baran told the story of President
INixon’s visit in 1972, describing the|
actions taken by the Communist officials}
and how the Soviet people reacted to}
those actions.

“There is a popular Russian word,|
‘kazuka’ which means ‘showing off,” and|
that’s exactly what what they (the|
officials) did; making presentable only}
the portions of Leningrad (now called St.
Petersburg) visible to the president from]
his limousine...painting the fronts of
buildings and bridges, but leaving the rest}
in disrepair,” Baran said,

“This was a typical demonstration of
‘Soviet rule, creating the assemblance of|
exterior order, All along the motorcade!
route, {the officials) locked people in|
their homes and shops and told them to}
keep their windows shut...it demonstrated
the Communists were willing, and able,
to use their power without regard to}
legality or to the people’s rights.”

supposed to be working in order to}
survive - but were, well, they were
shipped away until the president had|
left...so he didn’t meet many real

officials,” he said.

Baran then recalled the rise from
political obscurity to natural prominence|
lof current Russian President Boris|
Yeltsin,

“A couple of years ago, he ran a|

to vote for Yeltsin’s opponents, but he!
still won, despite being ignored by the|
media,” he said.

“He was popularly elected to his posts,|
and to the Russian people, this was|
something extraordinary.”

“It was these people who gathered on|
(August) 20 in Palace Square in
Leningrad. Over 100,000 people showed|
up after word spread of the

Soviet turmoil explored in forum

Professor Henryk Baran, Professor Helen
Defosses, Professor Joseph F. Zacek and
Professor Walter Goldstein.

“The United States will have to help
them get through the winter,” said
Defosses, an associate professor of public
administration and policy.

“Remember, for most Soviet critics,
communism really meant a ‘cradle to
grave’ welfare state, and now suddenly
they are on their own.”

“Right now 50 percent of their
agriculture output is lost between the
farms and the consumer.... The entire
distribution system is deplorable,” she
said.

Defosses said she predicts the
production levels in the Soviet Union
could decline 30 percent this year. “To put
that figure into context,” she said, “note
the worst year of the U.S. Depression
(1929-1930). The drop in U.S. economic
growth was only nine percent...meanwhile
Soviet inflation could increase as which
the rest of the world critically needs,” she
added.

“The trend toward democracy may
ultimately prove the best long-term

Pizza for thought

Papa Gino’s a pizza place which delivers to SUNYA has agreed to donate money to
a SUNYA scholarship fund, for each pizza delivered to campus. A quarter will be}
donated for each small pie and $.50 on every large pie.

Jack Beauvais, director of annual giving for the University, said he hopes on-
campus residents will be encouraged to order Papa Gino’s since each purchase will
benefit other students.

Beauvais said, “The University is not trying to take sides in the local pizza wars,
but if our students choose Papa Gino’s, over time their peers will benefit.”

This is the first agreement any SUNYA campus has made with Papa Gino’s, a
privately owned chain made up of 219 restaurants.

‘Writers Institute - Performers!

University tour program taking first step in right direction

By Bridget Foland
STAFF WRITER

Everyone recognizes the large
tour groups being lead around
campus by the enthusiastic tour
guide. Some might even
remember the time they were led
around the first time. Official
campus tours still begin at the
information desk in the Campus
Center, though the origin has
changed.

Now under the direction of the
orientation office, SUNYA has
organized its ‘first University
Tour Program.

Because of the allocation of
resources, what was once termed
“campus tours” has been
converted into a formal program.
The concept was implemented
Dec. 12, 1990.

Campus tours have always
existed, but under this program,
they take on more importance.

Mary Schimley, founder of the
program and the director of
orientation, hangs a picture of
the Boston Marathon with the
sentiment, “Everything begins
with that first small step.”

She explained, campus tours
mark the University, with the
tour being the first contact
people have with the University.
“First impressions are lasting
ones,” she said.

Schimley believes the tour
guides are directly responsible
for being representatives of the
University,

“The program is modeled after
the tour system at the University

of Connecticut which averages
15,000-16,000 visitors a year,”
she explained.

“Tour guides are recruited
through screening, and then an
interview process.” After being
hired they are familiarized with
the tour guide handbook, and
then teamed up with an
experienced guide for
observation.

All 20 of the tour guides are
the responsibility of Andrea
Hoffer, coordinator af the
University tour program.
Schimley and Hoffer work to
ensure that everything from
scheduling of tour guides to the
new uniform with the SUNYA
emblem work.

Campus tours are handicapped
accessible Monday to Friday
from ilam to 1:30pm and

weekends at 2pm. They average
one hour to an hour and a half
long depending on the group
size, which is not to exceed 25
people per tour guide.

The tour meets at the
information desk in the Campus
Center and travels through the
campus, ending with a walk
through the residence halls. All
tours are accompanied by the
distribution of literature and
maps.

Becoming involved with the
tour guide program has been
beneficial for both new and
experienced tour guides.
Dominic Biney-Amissah, a
junior SUNYA residential
assistant on Colonial Quad,
remembers last year when he
was a tour guide for 30 fifth-
grade children from Arbor Hill.

“When we began the tour, they
were all running around and
screaming, but later when I took
them through President
Swygert’s office they were really
excited about college. They were.
asking me questions by the end
of the tour.”

Marci Fishman, a senior is a
tour guide for the first time. “It’s
a lot of fun. I think it’s great to

get involved with school without
the hassle of a full-time job.”

“When I was a senior in High
School I went on a tour, it’s such
a reversal of position,” she
added.

Petty Flying High at the Kniek

The Knick was where it was
happening Saturday night, September
twenty- first. Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers played there, with
Chris Whitley opening for them. The
atmosphere at the Knick that night left
everyone, including Petty, in a great
state.

Summer Atheson

Chris Whitley, dressed in hardly a
tank top and jeans, opened the show
with a solo, singing and playing
guitar. His band then joined him and
soon they were playing a song from
the sound track of the movie, Thelma
and Louise called "Kick the Rocks".
Chris sounded good on the harmonica
as well as on guitar. After singing
about six songs with his semi-squeaky
voice, Whitley, new on the pop music
scene, made way for Petty and his
Heartbreakers. The intermission
between the two performers was an
appreciated rest; Whitley’s music had
gotten to be monotonous.

The crowd went wild when Tom
Petty finally appeared. When he
introduced the piano player he said
he'd like to get some boogie woogie
out of him. Some boogie woogie we
surely did hear when the pianist went
solo. The drummer showed his stuff
with a strong, slow but in-good-
rhythm beat that introduced one of
the songs which was played.

The lighting show was awesome.
The lights changed from all red to
blue and green with spotlights.
tinted designs of different colors were

played over the crowd. In the
ackground was an enormous, gnarled
abstract tree form the lights would
play off of, and behind that was a
large screen where nature scenes such
as sunsets were shown.

stepped back and approached it

cautiously. Bright light shone from

to his head. Fans cheered as they

The crowd swayed, clapped, and
danced through the whole concert. In
the front a balloon was being bounced
around. Tom Petty invited audience
participation by clapping his hands
over his head. He also let the

audience carry on parts of his songs
without him. He’d motion toward a
particular side of the arena and the
people there would shout and yell for
him.

Songs like “Good Love is Hard to
Find,” “Learning to Fly,” “American
Girl,” and “Running Down a Dream,”
and “Waiting is the Hardest Part,” got
a mega-reaction from the crowd.
“There’s some crazy people out
there,” not-so-petty Petty told the
crowd. “And there’s some crazy
people up here!” shouted a section of
the audience.

As a closing, Petty said, “It’s been a
pleasure playin’ for ya.” The
audience did not let that be the end.
Stomping and the illumination of
lighters brought Tom back and he
played three or four more songs. He
felt so good about the audience’s
reaction that he told us, “I feel I can
do anything I want.”

I will never forget Petty’s manner,
the way he stepped around the stage
with ease and grace, the way he
swung his arm to strum the guitar. I
saw his radiant smile with a fellow
fan's binoculars.

“What a show!” I heard someone on
the bus home say to his friend.
“Videotaped it would bé worth a
million dollars.” But in my opinion, a
camera couldn't possibly capture the
full experience.

Wicked Widows Invade the 87th Precinet

The name Ed McBain has become
synonymous with the term “police
procedural”. This is a kind of mystery
in which the focus is’on investigative
technique rather than how the crime
was committed. And while there are
several respected writers in the
field—among them Joseph
Wambaugh and Stephen
Solomita—none have achieved the
status of McBain.

Adam Meyer

His reputation is well-deserved.
McBain knows how to devise a good
mystery and he has a solid grasp of
what keeps readers turning pages;
combine this with a distinctive style
and the ability to create some of the
most complex characters in popular
fiction, and it’s no wonder this man is
ina class by himself.

By far the most well-known of
McBain’s books are his 87th precinct
novels, of which Widows is the latest.
The book takes off with the first
sentence—”She had been stabbed
more times than Carella cared to
imagine”—and proceeds quickly from
there.

The first victim is Susan Brauer, a

beautiful young blonde. Along with
her cold corpse, the cops find a stack
of erotic letters from an anonymous
man. Shortly after, Arthur
Schumacher, who was having an
affair with Susan, and his dog, are
also killed. The suspects are
numerous—his wife, his ex-wife, his
daughters—but the leads are few.

It is perhaps unfortunate that the
central mystery of Widows, although
an interesting idea, isn’t carried out
particularly well. Though a major
portion of the book is occupied with
these murders, McBain never stirs up
sufficient interest in whodunit; when
you find out, you think, “Wow, I
never would have guessed,” but you
probably won’t care enough to ponder
it for very long.

What seems to be much more
fascinating to McBain than the murder
of Schumacher and his women are the
personal trials of Detective Steve
Carella. First his father is killed in a
Kold-up, then his pregnant sister’s
husband leaves her for what she
assumes is another woman. McBain‘s
enthusiasm is infectious. These
sections are the most engaging, and
while the murder of Carella’s father is
meant to be a secondary plot, it is our
interest in Carella which drives the
novel forward when the main engine
starts to stall.

McBain’s novels are also interesting
because he comes to these pages with
a point to make about urban life, and
isn’t subtle about it. When he has
something to say, he says it, often
using thinly-disguised fictional
characters or events to substitute for
the real thing. For example, when two

blacks are
holding a
white woman
hostage, a
loud-mouthed
activist known
-as the

Preacher tries
to incite the
crowd by
turning it into
a racial
incident; the
similarities to
Al Sharpton
are obvious, as
the author no
doubt meant
them to be.

than that of
many pop
authors, since |
his work has
such a narrow
focus. If he

played pro ball, he’d be one of those
athletes who are occasionally
excellent, sometimes awful, but more
than anything else, consistently good.

performers who have achieved
legendary status, or that deserve to be
enshrined in the metal Hall of Fame, if
you will. Few names would seem to
deserve such reverence; Ronnie James
Dio, Rob Halford and the rest of Priest,
Bruce Dickinson, Tony Iommi, Joey
Demaio, Graham Bonnet, and
probably a few others. But when it
comes to pure accomplishment and
dedication to one’s music, one name
stands above all others in the metal
field: OZZY.

That’s why many people were
probably looking forward to Ozzy’s
latest LP, No More Tears, which was
released last week on the same night
as the latest Guns ‘N’ Roses effort.
That the latter seemed to draw more
attention should surprise no one,
being that Ozzy has been doing his
thing before most of us were born and
is now getting on in years.

Unfortunately, No More Tears seems
to reflect this fact. Though the band is
still as formidable as ever, with
squawk-master and riff monster Zakk
Wylde on guitar and hard hitting
Randy Castillo on the drums, the

jPAGIAGIAGINGINGIANGIAGIANGIAGIAGINGIAGIAGING
PAGLAGIANGIAGIAGIAGIAGIANGIAEIAGIAGIAGING IHS

song-writing, which was Ozzy’s
strength in the “Crowley” era, has
definitely declined. The album’s first
two tracks, “Mr. Tinkertrain” and “I
Don’t Want To Change The World," are
flat and lack the intensity Ozzy songs
like “Waiting For Darkness” and
“Lightening Strikes” had in the past.

The disk does pick up in the middle,
however, with songs like “S.I.N.,"
“Desire,” and the title track, which
represents Ozzy at his best. A bass
line introduces the song, which never
lets up through both a grinding
mystical riff and a breakdown
keyboard section reminiscent of the
Rhoads' days. Ozzy’s lyrics in the
tune are at their eerie best, as the
following lines demonstrate: “I see the
man around the corner waiting. I
close my eyes and wait to hear the
sound of someone screaming here. No
more tears.”

Unfortunately the album ends on a
bland note and leaves one a little sad
that this might be the last Ozzy album
(as the man himself suggests). If this
is indeed true, then Ozzy has not left
us in a blaze of glory, but rather in a
modest flame that shows traces of the
spark that made the fire burn so
brightly for so very long.

(Candy Dulfer
Saxuality
Arista Records

“I know she looks good, but can she
lplay?” asks a deep masculine voice in
the beginning of the title song,
“saxuality." Not only can this blond,
blue-eyed beauty play, but she can
knock the socks off at least fifty
percent of today’s popular male jazz
musicians.

The skepticism of women having
musical talent (especially in the jazz
world) is an age old story. Discovered
first by Prince (one of my favorite
musicians in the world), Candy
proves in her new album that women
can blow horns just as well as any
Iman can,

While sticking to one jazzy genre,
Candy covers a wide spectrum of
styles. From dancy tunes like “So
What” and “Saxuality,” to funky
songs like “Jazzid” and “Get the
Funk,” to soulful ballads like “Home
lis not a House” and “Lilly was Here”
(co-written by Dave Stewart of
Eurythmics), Candy spices up her
album with versatility.

One thing that struck me while
listening to the album was the use of
the drum machines. Usually I don’t
like them. I’ve always felt with few
exceptions, that the more raw music is
the better. But in this case, the
machines were programmed

creatively and sounded appropriate to

each song.

Another thing I liked about
Saxuality was the use of strange
sounds made by various instruments.
For example, in “Donja” there is a)
constant low droning of the bass)
guitar that sounds like it is moaning}
“Donnnjjjaaa!” Also, the synthesizer
whispers the pitter-pat of rain|
in”PeeWee." All the foreign sounds
seem custom made for each son;
there’s no pointless electronic shor
off stuff.

Well, now that I’ve put Candy)
Dulfer on a pedestal, 1 hope you will
give her album a try. It’s worth its
weight in gold!

What's Pee-Wee's favorite sport?

Heard any good jokes lately? Aspects not-so-proudly
presents the most tasteless, obscene, downright awful
Pee-Wee jokes we could scrounge up. Here they are...

hat's Pee-Wee's favorite holiday?
Palm Sunday.

Did you hear they took Pee-Wee to court? The case was
dismissed because the evidence wouldn't hold up.

You know how the whole incident started? Pee-Wee
walked into the wrong theater and the ticket collector

said, "Hold it!" so he did.

What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Pee-Wee?
You show me yours and I'll show you theirs.

Through the years, everybody has
heard of Pee-Wee. We didn’t like him
much, but we definitely couldn’t
ignore him. A few months ago, he was
arrested for indecent exposure.

Adam Spector

May I just point out that this
indecent exposure took place in an X-
rated movie house. Maybe it’s just me,
but do you think anybody gave a

damn that he was masturbating in an
X-rated theater. Somehow, I can’t
imagine someone looking at Pee-Wee
and saying, “Can you stop all that
racket? I’m trying to watch the
movie.”

The funniest thing about the whole
situation, though, was the publicity. I
don’t quite understand the
controversy. Most 8-year-olds don’t
care that Pee-Wee jerked off in a
theater. What are these parents afraid
of? Is a principal going to call a parent

up and say, “Hello, Ms. Randolph?
I'm calling you to tell you that your
son, John, is being suspended for
masturbating in class.” In the
background, you can hear John
saying, “Pee-Wee made me do it.”

Another interesting thing was all
the big stars complaining about there
being too much publicity. Maybe it’s
just me, but isn’t talking about the
issue going to create more publicity?
Just asking. I can imagine Mr. Rogers
addressing the subject: “Hello boys

and girls. Can you say masturbation?
I knew you could.”

It’s funny how this issue has helped
Pee-Wee. A year ago, do you think he
would have been on the MTV music
awards? I don’t think so. Heck, maybe
Dan Quayle should try it. Can’t hurt
his image any.

Let the military
come .. .we'll
show them

It is hard to imagine that in this age!
discrimination still takes place. The world has
come so far in just a few years; civil rights, the|
14th and 19th Amendments. There are laws to}
protect those in the minority. Rules that are}

that there are still certain groups of people that|
lare legally discriminated against.
Homosexuals cannot join the armed forces.|
That's archaic! Unimaginable! But painfully|
true.

Since when does sexual preference give a|
government agency the right to discriminate?
There is no argument that could possibly
support the military on this point. We know
gay men are not weaker then straight men.
There is no physical reason to ban them from|
service, so obviously, the military's reasoning
must stem from homophobia.

Similar reasoning was used during WWII to
keep blacks from fighting side by side with
whites. Blacks were inferior, they were feared.
(The military wised up on that point. Why can't
they see the light of gay rights?

While the fact remains that homosexuals
should be allowed to enter the military, the|
order issued Thursday by the state's Office of|
‘Lesbian and Gay Concerns is not the way to go|
about it. The order would bar military,
recruiters from a state university, specifically
Buffalo, but most likely affecting other state}
universities such as Albany.

Governor Cuomo rejected the order, claiming}
the restriction was against the law since
military recruiters must be allowed on any|
public campus other job recruiters are allowed.
Cuomo's position is correct, but he uses the}
wrong argument.

Banning groups from campus simply because!
you do not agree With their values or rules is as|
ignorant as discriminating against a group for,
their beliefs or practices. A university, more
than any other place, should be a community]
where diverse ideas can be expressed, even if|
those ideas are not tolerated by some. The
homosexual community especially should
realize this.

The gay community is shooting themselves
in foot and possibly missing out on an
opportunity to make a positive statement for
themselves. Let the military recruiters come to}
SUNY campuses, and then give them hell!
The University at Albany would probably be
more than willing to come out with a statement}
against the military, asserting it does not}
conform to the ideals of a Just Community. By’
facing your opponent, you can make your point}
land possibly win the argument. Refuse to}
lengage the opposition, and you only face}
ridicule and loss of credibility.

Hopefully, gay rights activists will use|
Cuomo's decision to their advantage and]
rethink their tactics. We all have something to}
gain when discrimination is stamped out.

Japan's Ascent to Preeminence

We typically look upon Japanese-American relations as
based upon a symbolic friendly basis. Upon closer
inspection however, we find that the Japanese are the
farthest thing from friends in the economic arena. The
Japanese do not see mutual-benefit from trade, but rather
devote all of their energies to surpassing the United
States economically by whatever means possible. There
exist in the form of adversarial trade practices, rigid trade
barriers, and attempts to influence United States
Government policy. The United States must recognize
the scope and intentions of the Japanese economic threat
and deal with it accordingly.

It has been long assumed that the only reason for the
relative decline of U.S. auto and electronic industries was
that Japanese companies were superior. While this to a

AI Pucciarelli

CSS a aR SS TE
certain degree may be true, we must look at the unfair

trade practices engaged by the Japanese which made fair
competition impossible. One of the best examples of an
adversarial trade practice which has long been the trade-
mark of Japanese electronic and auto manufacturers is
that of, “product dumping,” the selling of products at far
below market value. This enables the Japanese to carve
out a market, effectively pushing out American
competitors. When this is achieved, prices then rise.

The practice which is by far the greatest in magnitude
is the maintenance of rigid trade barriers closing off the
Japanese market to American products and investment.
Everything from clothes and produce, to cars and
electronics, the Japanese market retains stiff quotas on
entering products. The Japanese do this for a specific
reason; to keep up an enormous trade imbalance from
which Japanese can enjoy and prosper. If Japanese
products are superior like they say, why can’t they reduce
their trade barriers and compete fairly? The reason is
they wish to gain economic power by negative trade
imbalances.

The Japanese legal system also makes it extremely
difficult for American businesses to invest in Japan, or
for that matter begin operations. The result of this is that
there are very few American companies operating in
Japan, and even less American investment in Japan. As
we all know, there are practically no barriers for Japanese
investment in America. Why won’t the Japanese
reciprocate? Because they wish to keep economic scales
tipped in their favor. Does that sound like the act of a
friend? Although an agreement was made last year to
ease Japanese investment barriers, most of the 200
requests made by the President to rectify unfair trade
practices were ignored.

The Japanese are very concerned about maintaining
these policies and they spend a great deal of money doing
it. The Japanese devote a great amount of resources
towards lobbying the United States Government. In Pat
Choati’s book “Agents of Influence,” detailed
descriptions are given to hundreds of millions of dollars
that the Japanese spend trying to influence Congress.
This serves a two-fold effect. It makes it easier for Japan
to oppose any legislation aimed at curbing Japanese
investment and prevents retaliatory economic pressures.

With friends like Japan, we need no enemies.
Considering the amount of support, money, and military
protection that the United States has given Japan over the
past forty years, it becomes quite clear that Japanese
policies are a far cry from reciprocity. It is clear that
Japan is our economic adversary and has every intention
of superceding America economically if it is within her
power. The United States must use its political and
economic power to challenge this threat. We should use
Political leverage to force open the Japanese markets, and
to tear down the barriers to investment. We must also
prevent the influence of foreign money on Congress. One
such method could be to forbid ex-governmental officials
from lobbying for a foreign government or corporation.
As a final step, we must rethink the way America does
business. There are many monopoly laws that are so
antiquated that they are a reverse obstacle to international
competition. The Japanese government allows and
encourages its auto and electronic manufacturers to work
together. It is for the most part illegal in this country.
Sema-tech is a step in the right direction as a government
allowed cartel of superconductor companies sharing
information. Let’s move towards auto-tech. Chrysler can
build a car with Mitsubishi, but cannot build one with
GM. Where is the logic in that?

There is a spectre looming over America and it is
Japan. We must deal with them as economic adversaries
as long as their policies and actions lead us to assume
they are nothing else.

Is Stern Biased?

To the Editor:

Professor Kenneth Stern’s article on natural law
(published in the September 15, 1991 edition of The
Sunday Times Union) suggests that Judge Thomas who
“believes in the coherence of natural law” lacks “even
minimal philosophical competence.” Judge Thomas may
lack “minimal philosophical competence;” however, if
Professor Stern is suggesting, as he seems to be, that a
preference for natural law and its fulfillment, natural
Tight, is a sure sign of philosophical incompetence, then
it will be necessary for Professor Stern to condemn many
modern philosophers and political theorists to
philosophical incompetence.

After spending more than half a century studying and
teaching the great books of Western philosophy, Leo
Strauss wrote, “Nothing that I have learned has shaken
my inclination to prefer ‘natural right,’ especially in its
classic form, to the reigning relativism, politivist or
historicist.” If Professor Stern intends to question the
philosophical competence of Leo Strauss and others,
such as Alan Bloom, who prefer natural law and its ends
to relativism, then it is apparent that Professor Stern
possesses either prodigious wisdom, or an irrational bias
against natural law.

guarantees should be delayed for 120 days. It is my
opinion, and the opinion of the RZA that such a move
would be inappropriate.

First of all, not one cent would be taken from US
taxpayers. A loan guarantee is very different from a loan.
All the US is doing is cosigning a loan with Israel in
order for Israel to receive a better rate of interest from
banks. The US would actually profit from Israel
receiving this money since much of it will go to US
corporations. Also, Israel is one of only two countries in
the world that has never been late in paying back the
money it owes the US.

This money is to be used solely for humanitarian
purposes. It is expected that over one million immigrants
will be arriving to Israel over the next five years. In
proportion to its population, that is the same as if the US
received over sixty million new immigrants in the same
period! Almost all of these new immigrants have
virtually nothing, since Soviet law forbids the removal of
over $100 worth of money. The recent Ethiopian
immigrants have literally nothing and no education, thus
requiring much money to make them at home in a
modem country. Most of this money will be used to build
houses, something that these people can’t afford on their
own,

President Bush said that Israel should wait only 120
days but Israel has already waited for this money since
March. Israel had planned for a long time to ask for this
money but the US asked Israel to wait until after the war
in order for the coalition to work. Israel obliged.

President Bush wants to tie his political goals with
humanitarian aid. What the President wants to do is to
use this money to attempt to force Israel to make
concessions at the Peace conference. That would be
Outrageous. As the leading nation of the free world we
are obliged to give this loan guarantee to Israel without
delay.

Always Check I.D

To the Editor:

Last Sunday night, I attempted to get into Brubacher
Hall. You should know that I’m not a student and I don’t
work for the University. In fact, I really had no business
being in the dorm. Regardless, I got in...and quite easily.

After waiting outside the front door for only about a
minute or so, I, a young man, spoke in an innocent tone,
to a young woman through an open window screen. I
asked her if she would mind opening the door for me.
She didn’t mind at all. Now I have to confess.

T’ve been misleading you up until now. Yes, I got into
the building; but I had no evil intentions. You see, I’m an
alumnus, one who looks and dresses like a college
student when I’m not working. The reason for my visit to
the downtown campus was to obtain a copy of the first
edition of this semester’s ASP. However, I could have
wanted more. Here’s what happened: The young woman
opened the door for me. She asked me nothing. She could
have asked me if I lived in the dorm or why I didn’t have
a key. She could have even asked me to provide ID. She
didn’t. And you know, most people would do the same
thing. Instead, she opened the door and simply walked
away.

If she had asked, I would have gladly answered her
questions. In fact, I would have been more than happy to
remain outside while she handed me a copy of the paper.

As she walked away, I entered the building, grabbed
the paper and immediately left the building. Ironically, as
1 walked to my car, I noticed the headlines of the paper
read: “Police Continue Search For Suspect In Rape.”
Also on the front page was an article entitled: “Advice
For Assault Victims.” There was still another: “Student
Stabbed In Off-Campus Home.” I read on about date-
Tape seminars, missing dorm keys, and ways to protect
oneself. Protect oneself? From what? People breaking
into your home? Your dorm room?

Last Sunday night I gained access to Alumni Quad.
Luckily for the residents of Brubacher Hall, the Albany
Student Press was all I walked away with.

The Community is Just

To the Editor:

"Tig Pitaciples of a Just Commsaily ie the resol SES
efforts of the Coalition for a Just Community. The
executive committee of the coalition consists of Dr.

Mitchell Livingston, V.P. for Smdent Affairs; Dr. Gloria
De Sole, Director of the Affirmative Action Office;
Professor Colbert Nepaulsingh; Patricia McAuliffe,
Director of Computing Services; Geneva Walker,
Director of Residential Life; and myself. Since I was the
person primarily responsible for writing the Principles of
a Just Community on behalf of the Coalition and the
committee on Principles it is only appropriate that I
respond to the editorial in the ASP on Tuesday,
September 17, 1991 entitled “Let Justice Really Be
Served...Revoke the Just Community.” I have asked the
editors of the ASP to publish the Principles, their
editorial, and my response so that readers could make
judgements with all the evidence before them.

The editorial advocating revoking the “Principles for a
Just Community” suffers from faulty reasoning on two
counts. First the writer does not understand what the
word “condone” means. The Principles states “Protecting
speech in all its forms, however, does not mean
condoning all ideas or actions.” That reservation does not
imply restricting the free expression of ideas as the
editorial suggests. It means that although free expression
of ideas is permitted we (the university community) do
not necessarly support or endorse the ideas that may be
expressed. More emphatically, the University may go
further and say it stands in opposition to those ideas. This
position is not in any way similar to the resolution the
Regents attempted to introduce and which the editorial
suggested was similar to the Principles. The Regents
solution would have prohibited speakers from using
university facilities for the expression of ideas considered
unacceptable. In contrast, the Principles encourages and
supports the free exchange of ideas. There are, however,
two qualifications in the Principles to the idea of free
expression of ideas. First to allow someone to express
his/her ideas does not mean I have to condone (support,
approve, endorse) those ideas. Secondly, free expression
of ideas has never meant the license to impose upon the
rights of others,

Using incorrect reasoning the editorial cites as an
example of The Just Community violating our rights the
incident where members of SA set on banning Hokum
Humor Magazine claimed that Hokum didn’t follow the
Just Community principles. Therefore, the editorial
reasons, The Principles are repressive. But from the fact
that someone cites The Principles to support an argument
for censorship does not mean that The Principles are
indeed repressive or that the argument is valid. To use the
Principles to justify censorship is a blatant misreading of
what the Principles stand for. In fact, the Principles
correctly understood would protect the magazine from
being censored. I urge you to look at the Principles, look
at what the editorial deduces from that, and judge for
yourself. I claim the editorial’s conclusion does not
follow from what the Principles say.

The editorial raises one interesting and worthwhile
issue, perhaps without even knowing it. It is the question
whether the University and those representing the
university have a right to pass judgement (condone or not
to condone) on ideas that are expressed on campus. Here
we find an authentic ideological issue. There are those
who argue that the University ought to be value-free, that
is, take no sides on issues, except perhaps to defend the
truth. There are others who claim that the University is a
distinctive institution representing a set of ideals and
committments (e.g. social justice) and that whenever
those ideals are challenged or disputed the University has
the obligation to stand and defend its principles. In this
sense the University is an open society where ideas are
freely expressed, but it is something more as well, with
the “something more” yet to be fully defined. I believe
the Principles express the conviction that the University
is a special institution, that it does not stand apart on
issues.

Here we have a real issue. What is the nature of a
university? What does it represent? These are questions
that must be raised, especially now. They are important
questions that stand in contrast to the spurious arguments
and issues that were presented in the ASP editorial.

guarantee of peace in the
potentially dangerous new multi-
polar world, for democracies in
history do not fight one another.”

Because “(a) loose
confederation (of republics) is
ill-suited for the projection of
power,” Defosses said, “the first
challenge for the U.S. is to
define our new grand strategy.
What are the responsibilities of
the U.S. as the only superpower
in what used to be a two-
superpower world? Against
whom is the U.S. still arriving
itself against militarily and
ideologically?”

“Policymakers are having a
hard time going beyond the Cold
War concepts which have
conditioned our thinking for
over 40 years,” she continued.

Zacek, director of the Russian
and East European studies
program and a fellow of the
Russian Research Center at
Harvard University agreed with
Defosses on the problems facing
what was once known as the
Soviet Union.

“Without the Soviet influence
and control (over the republics),
I'd be interested to see how they
tackle their homegrown
problems,” Zacek said.

“The republics are on their
own...and I wouldn’t but on a
long-lasting union of any kind
with the republics,” he added,

Goldstein, a professor of
public policy and international
relations at the University’s
Rockefeller College of Public
Affairs and Policy, discussed the
advantages of helping the Soviet
Union.

He stressed the urgency of
sending assistance. “Presently
their economy is in chaos with a
1000 percent rate of inflation.
Compare this situation to East
Germany, who managed to
survive their 40 percent
unemployment rate because it
was bailed out by the mammoth
economy of West Germany,”
Goldstein said.

“When we talk of a Soviet
winter, it is no longer a
metaphor. It is very real,” he
said.

“The U.S. can do a heck of a
lot of good. If we were to
provide food and technical
assistance, it would be a
Godsend to our farmers,”
Goldstein said.

“Because they don’t have a
convertible currency - no one
will work with the ruble - the
Soviet Union must barter for
assistance. In exchange for our
aid, they can offer oil, natural
gas, lumber and chemical
phosphates.”

“We are dealing with a well-
educated population and a
sophisticated workforce,”
Goldstein said. “We’re not
dealing with a Third World
country.”

“In India, once an illiterate
peasant society, a new strain of
grain was introduced, and now
India is self-sufficient,” he said.

“The Soviet Union is a far
more developed nation than
India. Economically it has
enormous industrial
potential...the question is, how to
jump start it.”

Maymi added, “Little

According to a Gazette
article by Fran Bogardus,
Ferris said he has strong
convictions about the conduct

of South American countries
and the exploitation of South
American people. He said this
doesn’t reflect on local
residents. Ferris also told the
Gazette, “I think too much is
being made of an
extemporaneous comment.”
Mildred Hernandez, a 1982
Amsterdam High School
graduate said she was

offended by Ferris’ remarks,
the Gazette article stated.
“Being that he’s in a
position that’s important to the
students, if he can’t be
unbiased in his opinion then
maybe he shouldn’t be on the

Goldstein suggested a specific
step. “I think we should bring
the Soviet Union into the
International Monetary Fund,
offering them short-term
bridging loans to whatever
becomes the central
government,” he said.

The forum was the first for the

year, University President H.

series, noting the University had
various experts whose

EWS EDITOR

As part of the Community Conversations series,
Dr. Walter Goldstein, professor of public policy
studies and international relations at the Nelson A.
Rockefeller College here at SUNYA, will give a
talk, entitled “Threats to the U.S. in the Post-Cold
War World,” on Thursday, Sept. 26.

The presentation, sponsored by the Friends of
ithe Libraries, will be held in the library, room B14,
from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m.

“After the surprising revolution in the Soviet
Union, there is considerable doubt as to how the
United States should change its foreign policy
goals,” Goldstein stated in a news release.

Post Cold War threats to be discussed

He will review the choices that may be made as
the U.S. readies itself for the 1992 Presidential
election year.

“There are critical challenges that the U.S. must}
face in Europe, in the Third World, and in the race|
to develop the most fragile of the world’s|
economies,” he stated.

The conflicts between the superpowers has|
changed over the years and will continue to change,
shape and new demands will be placed on|
American leadership. These demands as well as|
others will be discussed.

Flurry of points helps Un

By Jacob Jonas

There were power failures- literally and
figuratively- when the Union Dutchmen
visited the Great Danes for a junior
varsity football game on September 16.
Within a six-minute period that included
the end of the first quarter and the
beginning of the second, the Dutchmen
scored 21 consecutive points en route to a
35-14 defeat of the Danes. The game was
the first of the season for both teams.

“It was a well-played game on both
sides. We did a good job of execution and
using multiple formations,” remarked
Union head coach Gary Reynolds.

The turning point of the game was a
blur for everyone except for Reynolds and
his Dutchmen.

First, after an Albany punt, Union,
down 6-0, drove the length of the field,
ending with a 24-yard touchdown run by
Jeff Bartel.

On its next possession after the ensuing
kickoff, Albany fumbled the ball away.

Union’s recovery led to a 30-yard
touchdown pass from Keith Lombardo to
Ryan Peek and a 14-6 lead.

The next Albany drive was terminated
when a Union sack forced another fumble,
also recovered by the Dutchmen. This
resulted in a 27-yard touchdown reception
by Bill Callahan. The opportunistic
Dutchmen had turned an early 6-0 deficit
into a 21-6 advantage. Albany was unable
to recover from this flurry.

The Danes did manage a score of their
own in the second quarter, a 23-yard
touchdown run by John Aurora. Steve
Zampino’s two-point conversion made the
score 21-14.

“We were able to execute well on that
drive by sealing off the linebackers and
we were able to get good jumps off of the
ball,” commented Albany left tackle Brian
Miesegaes.

However, Union answered quickly. The
Danes were unable to stop Joe Ruggieri,
who rumbled 83 yards on the following

kickoff return for a touchdown and
increased Union’s lead to 14.

Haltime turned into a 45-minute ordeal
after the light towers on the south side of
University Field went out. A fuse had to
be repaired before the second half of play
could resume.

“We (as fans) were hoping that the
momentum of the game would change
(after the lights went out). They looked
good initially, but the turnover factor was
too much to overcome.” said lifelong
Albany State fan Anthony Marotta.

With the score 28-14 coming out of
halftime, both teams seemed sluggish in
the third quarter. Union’s first possession
of the third quarter ended when a field-
goal attempt went awry. The snap went
over the kicker’s head and the Danes took
over on downs deep in their own
territory.

After Albany and Union exchanged
punts, Albany’s Chris Rosello took a short
pass from Ryan Donovan on first down

ion down Albany JV

and turned it into a 76-yard gain as the
third quarter expired. However, the
Dutchmen played stellar defense and
eventually forced the drive to halt when
Donovan’s rollout pass on fourth and one
from the one was incomplete.

“There was a feeling of disappointment
and dismay after we were stopped at the
goal line,“ Miesegaes said. “That play
really took the wind out of our sails.”

Union was unable to do anything except
punt the ball from its own end zone. The
punt was a very short one and the Danes
took over on Union’s 40.

A 21-yard run by Andy Schein gave
Albany a first and ten on the 19, but with
a chance to cut into Union’s lead, the
Danes faltered. Donovan’s next pass was
intercepted by Jim McCloskey.

Union drove the ball the distance, keyed
by a 20-yard run by Mike Rauseo. This
set up a six-yard touchdown pass from
Lombardo to Jeff Bartel for Union’s final
score.

White pleased as women's
cross-country runs aggressively

By Patrick Cullen
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Beautiful Williamstown,
Massachusetts was the setting as
Albany’s women’s cross country
team took eighth place out of 21
schools at the Williams College
Invitational.

The cool weather was ideal as
the race’s 145 runners took to the
telatively slow 5K course
nicknamed “The Farm,” known
for its many hills and turns and
its ragged terrain,

When it was all over, it was
the host that took first place.
Williams College blew away the
competition, compiling just 30
Points to easily win the
invitational.

Far behind and in second place
was Trinity College, with 74
Points, Smith College (132)
captured third and ECAC rivals
Hartwick (205) and Hamilton
(209) finished in fourth and fifth
Places, respectively. Amherst
College, with 223 points, took
sixth place, while Wellesley
College (235) captured seventh.
After Albany (258) in eighth
Place, St. Rose (272) and
Fitchburg College (288) rounded

Out the top ten schools.

Albany’s top finisher was
senior ti-captain Colleen. Shine,
placing 32nd with a time of
21:29. Fellow senior tri-captain
Tricia Schuttes (21:44) was close
behind in 40th place. Freshman
Dierdre McGuinnis was 56th,
coming in at 22:15. Seniors
Elanna Osdoby (64th, 22:34) and
Dawn Dansky (66th, 22:37),
another tri-captain, rounded out
Albany’s top five.

Albany coach Ronald White
was particularly pleased with the
mere 1:08 between Albany’s top
finisher (Shine) and the fifth
(Dansky). He called it “one of
the best splits he’s seen ina
season.”

The team’s other finishes
included Melissa Miller (78th,
22:56), Eileen Guerci (82nd,
23:03), Amy Schroeder (88th,
23:12), Jennifer Miller (101st,
23:44), and Sue Ebel (120th,
24:30). ‘

White was pleased with his
team’s performance on this
Saturday afternoon. “We really
had a good start,” he mused. “I
thought we were very aggressive
from the outset.”

Continued from back page

Ed Lemon (game-high 83-
yards rushing) picked up some
quality yardage on the Dane’s-
final drive of the first half, but
Albany’s offense was still not
quite in gear. Ithaca reacted
well to every Albany play they
faced, and did not appear
surprised at any point of the
first half. Perhaps the biggest
surprise Ithaca faced was the
relative ease in building the
huge lead. Only one year ago,
these teams played a fiercely-
contested 16-6 game, with the
Bombers winning, or more
accurately, surviving. When
Tthaca tacked on a 34-yard field
goal shortly before the half
ended, this year’s second half

Bombers drop a big one on Albany football

By Matthew Fineman

The Albany Great Danes hit
the road again on Saturday with
their sights set on obtaining their
first gridiron victory of 1991.
Albany had hoped to avoid an 0-
3 start, but the Bombers of Ithaca
College, the #1 team in the
Upstate New York poll, blew
away the Danes, 38-7. In upping
their record to 2-0, Ithaca,
playing in front of 3,400 fans at
homecoming, stormed out in
front with 21 points in the first
quarter and led 31-0 at
intermission.

The story of the game was
clearly the rushing attack that the
Bombers displayed. With 386
yards rushing, and 511 yards
overall, Ithaca moved the ball at
will. Albany managed about half
that total - 278 total yards, with
221 yards on the ground.

In addition, the Bombers only
allowed Albany to convert three
out of 16 third-down attempts,
and sacked Dane QBs four times.

Albany received the opening
kickoff and Ben Alston took it
39 yards. The Danes moved the
ball well on the opening drive,
showing early that they could
run the ball. Mike Imperato ran
for 15 of his 47 yards, mostly up
the middle. Sophomore
quarterback Dom DeMatteo,
starting for the second straight

week, completed two passes and
the Danes drove all the way to
Tthaca’s 25. Facing a fourth and
three, the call was for a pass
play, but DeMatteo was sacked
for an eight-yard loss.

It did not take long for the
Bombers to display their
offensive explosiveness.
Quarterback Todd Wilkowski hit
Jeff Adams on a slant pattern and
Adams took it in for a 56-yard
touchdown with 9:52 left in the
first quarter. This came on
Ithaca’s fourth play of the game
and took only 1:48 off the clock.

Albany’s defensive scheme
‘was aimed at stopping the run of
Ithaca’s wishbone offense. Ithaca
had to take a shot passing the
ball early to keep Albany from
keying on the run, and the
Bombers did so.

Albany lost its next possession

File

Dominick DeMatteo started on Saturday, but had trouble starting the Danes’ offense. Albany lost 38-7.

on downs, Ithaca took over at
their own 46 and began another
scoring drive. Going back to
their ground game, the Bombers
ran the ball on 10 of 12 plays,

capped by a two-yard run by
Wilkowski with 3:34 left in the

first. Ithaca typically used three
different running backs, but it
was Wilkowski who did the most
damage. Wilkowski, a senior, has
been a starter the past four years,
and his experience and talent
gave Albany much trouble.

Following the kickoff, Albany
fumbled the football on its next
play. This gave the ball right
back to Ithaca on Albany’s 26-
yard line. Wilkowski wasted no
time in a strike to Ken
Szymansky for a 21-0 bulge as
the first quarter came to an end.

Ithaca’s offensive line gave
Wilkowski all day to pass the
ball. Impressively, the Bombers
ran only 15 plays in the quarter,
but put 21 points on the board.

Albany’s best scoring

opportunity of the half came
after an Ithaca turnover.
Freshman linebacker Chris Locci
(13 tackles) hit Ithaca tailback
Ari Forgosh in the backfield and
junior lineman Kevin Baldauf
recovered for Albany on the
Bombers’ 39. The drive went
nowhere, though when DeMatteo
was sacked on a third and six, he
fumbled and Ithaca recovered.
Jaan Laap replaced DeMattco
at quarterback on Albany’s next
series, but Laap didn’t have

much more success against the
Bombers. Two consecutive series
totalled six plays. When Ithaca
got the ball back, Forgosh (team-
high 75 yards rushing) busted
through the line and ran 43 yards
before the Danes’ free safety Ken
Breland knocked him out of
bounds at the three. Keith
Molinich’s three-yard run on the
next play made the cushion 28-0
and the fat lady started singing
pretty early.

Men's soccer gets first win, but can't beat former coach

By Andrew Schotz
SPORTS EDITOR

It took four tries for rookie men’s
soccer coach Rob Pfeil to get his first win.
The breakthrough came when Albany (1-
3) shut out the Patriots of Stony Brook, 2-
0, on Saturday. This followed three
consecutive one-goal losses to open the
1991 season, including a 2-1 loss to
Union on Thursday and 2-1 overtime
defeat at North Adams last Tuesday.

At Stony Brook (1-3), sophomore Paul
Feeny converted a long Mike Avallone
throw-in, as the Danes scored the game
clinching goal in the 16th minute of play.
Marty Hearney’s follow-up of a rebound
was insurance for the Danes and gave
them a 2-0 win.

The Patriots were outshot, 17-3.

“Tt was probably our best game,” Pfeil
said. “We pushed the ball up pretty well.
It’s not just another 2-0 win, we
controlled them.”

In last week’s loss to North Adams (5-
0) the Danes were stricken by an overtime
mistake for the second straight game.
North Adams’ Mike Belanger was
awarded - and converted - a penalty kick
with but five seconds to go in the first
overtime period.

Junior Steve Wintonick had the Albany
goal. Senior goalie Mike Baker made nine,
saves.

When Union’s Dutchmen (2-0) made
their bi-annual visit, Albany seemed
destined to prove bad things didn’t come

Union goaile Lee Deeper held Albany scoreless after the first minute of play on Thursday.

in threes. However, Union, now with
former Albany coach Aldo Nardiello in
charge, broke a four year losing streak, 2-
It was fall-from-ahead for the third
straight time for the Danes, who jumped
in front only a minute into play when
Wintonick scored on an assist from
Feeney.

Not until 6:55 remained did Union
score, when Freshman Stewart Savage
blasted Mark Oleson’s pass past Baker. It
was the first goal the Dutchmen had
scored versus the Danes in four years, and
the emotion began to run wild on Union’s
side.

With new offensive life, Union flexed
its scoring muscle again, only 56 seconds
later. On Jed Nosal’s direct kick for the
Dutchmen, Baker came out of the crease
to grab the ball, which he did, but was
then knocked to the ground. The ball
popped loose and Jeff Mela was there to
knock it in.

Union outshot the Danes, 7-4, Baker
had 5 saves and Lee Popper made one for
Union.

So, in typical Nardiello comeback, the
former coach had left his mark.

“It’s bittersweet,” Nardiello admitted.
For Union, I feel fortunate that the victory
overcomes the mental block (of losing to
Albany)...But I feel the disappointment of
those guys...my guys...Never has a victory
been so difficult to swallow.”

“It was tough,” said Union assistant
coach Vlado Sergovich, who followed
Nardiello from Albany to Union. “We had
a good rapport. We still get together for a

burger.”

After 51 wins and an ECAC
championship with: the Danes, Nardiello
finds it difficult to root against his old
team.

“At times, I found myself rooting for
Marty (Hearney) to store but then I’d
realize he’s not an my team...I hope more
than anyone that they go 13-3,” Nardiello
said.

“If we're going to start a new system, I
guess all these things are going to come to
an end at some point,” Pfeil said about the
end of Albany’s winning streak against
Union.

“We have to learn to play strong ‘t the
finish,” Pfeil continued. “The guys are
getting better at it... This has been a rough
stretch of five games in nine days. The
guys have been running on empty.”

In the meantime, Pfeil has broken into
the win column, “It’s nice to get the first
one out of the way,” Pfeil said.

Before Thursday's game, both teams
paid tribute to former Dane Adam
Chaikel, who committed suicide on
March 8. A moment of silence and an
honorary kickoff were observed. Albany
will wear black armbands for the season
and Chaikel's jersey number (6) will not
be used.

“Some of the kids were in tears” Pfeil
said.

“I thought a lot about Adam on thee
way here,” Nardiello said. “Athletics are
nice, but this puts things in the proper
perspective.” 5
