‘After $1 points had been scored in this
constant momentum-changing offensive bat-
tle between Norwich and Albany state, the
game boiled down to one final drive,

Down 27-24, the Cadets, marching 60
yards downffeld in the closing minutes, con-
verted (wo crucial fourth down situations in-
to first downs, and) scored the winning

Ing in the contest handing the Danes their
fifth loss in seven games while the 4-3 Cadets
broke a three game losing slide,

“It was a bad pass," said Cirelli, who
wasn't sure If he was even going to start
because of his inconsistent play of late,
Donnely reached back and got it, It was a
super catch,!"

Clrelli probably wouldn't have had the op-
portunity to throw the pass if it weren't for
the sticcess of the critical fourth down plays
that sustained the drive,

‘On fourth down and inches at the Albany
State 39 with 3:20 to play, Cirelli fumbled the
snap but was able to pick the ball off the
grass and lunge forward just enough for the
first down,

Three plays later on fourth and nine at the
Danes 37, Cirelli found Dean Aldomar over
the middle good for 11 yards and another
first down at the 26,

“We stop those two fourth down plays and
We get the ball back only needing one first
down of our own for a victory,” said Albany
Head Coach Bob Ford,

Another 13-yard pass to Aldomar advanc-
ed the ball to the 10, where on second and
goal Cirelll completed the game-winner,

‘A key fumble early in the fourth quarter
seemed to change the flow of the game and
start the Cadets on the comeback trail. And it
all occurred because of a broken snap on a

Scoring three third quarter touchdowns,
the Danes took a 27-16 lead into the fourth
quarter.

On the first play of the final period,

substitute Dane quarterback Rick Jones was
forced into the game because Milano's
helmet snap had broken off,

While Milano was repairing his helmet on

felines, fullback Scott Reagan failed to
handle a Jones handoff and Norwich's Steve
Smith pounced on the loose ball at the
Albany State 30 yard line,

A big 14-yard reception by running back
Winnifield Brooks, who gained 121 yard
tushing on the day, put the ball on the Dane

Two crucial Danes penalties followed, in-
cluding @ pass inteference call on defensive

back Ray Priore in the endzone which put
the ball on the 1 yard line, Fullback Jim Earl
plunged in for the score with 11:42 remain-
ing. The Dane lead was cut to 27-24 following
@ successful two point conversion on a
rollout pass from Cirelli to tight end Steve
Smith.

The Danes had a chance to boost the lead
following freshman Barry Benjamin's second
spectacular kickoff return of 75 yards to the
Norwich 15-yard line. Benjamin's other great
kickoff return of 64 yards had led to a Dane
touchdown in the third quarter.

This time, the Danes failed to score as

yards in his finest passing game of the year,
couldn't find anybody open on two suc:

field goal attempt blocked,

Earlier,Norwich had taken a 9-7 halftime
lead and the Danes had to be appreciative to
be so close,

Norwich jumped to a 9-0 lead helped by
the Danes’ turnovers.

Art Dwyer kicked a 29-yard field goal on
the opening drive of the game with 11:50 10
play in the first quarter. Cirelli kept the ball
on the ground utilizing his fourth leading
rusher in the country, Brooks, and his block-
ing mate, Earl, It was Earl's 28 yard romp
that got the Cadets in field goal range,

The Danes’ first possession typified what
was to happen the rest of the game whe
Milano's pitchout was batted down. Norwich
recovered the ball at the Danes’ 25

The Cadets failed to score when Dwyer's
34-yard field goal sailed wide right.

Norwich finally capitalized on a Dane tur-
hover when Albany fumbled away a punt
return. After an unsporismantike conduct
call, Norwich took overfirst and goal at the 8
‘where Cirelli connected with Aldomar in the
endzone with 12:18 left in the half but Dwyer
missed the point after.

The Cadets 9:0 lead stuck as the Danes’
wishbone ground game was unable to sustain
any sort of attack,

Women booters record two straight shutouts

id thelr record to. 7-6-1 with shutouts over Platt:

By Mark Wilgard

STAFF WRITE!

Moments before the Albany state women’s
soccer team took the field against the Platt-
sburgh Cardinals Friday afternoon, Albany
Head Coach Amy Kidder had to make up her
mind on the starting goaltender, This was the
biggest game of the year, as the winner would
host the SUNYAC championship game. Her
two net-minders, Tracy Knoul and Cathy
Russo, were playing extremely well coming
into the game. Both had a 1,50 goals against
average, and they had recorded seven
shutouts between them. Kidder went with
Russo, and her intuition paid off,

"Thad a gut feeling," Kidder said about
her choice. "We needed her in the net." And
Russo didn't let her teammates down, In
recording her fifth shutout of the season,
Russo had 12 saves and led the Danes to an
ever so important 2-0 victory. The win
enables the Danes to host the SUNYAC
championship game Saturday at 1:00 pm.

Albany was also led by stopper back Dana
Stam, who opened up the scoring at 30:08 of
the first half, Stam charged up an open area
right in the middle of the field and put in her
first goal of the season between the goal
keeper and the post.

“It was a beauiful goal," commented Kid-
der. “It was very nice for her to score, as
she's a defensive player and doesn’t get many
opportunities,"”

Stam was also instrumental in helping
Albany control the big play person on Platt-

sburgh, Darlene Levielle. Kidder told her
team ‘to make sure Leveille didn’t pass the
bull." By keying so much on Leveille,
Albany forced the Cardinals into many off-
side infractions

The Danes insured their victory when Kim
Kosalek put in a high lofting shot from mid-
field at 44:12 of the second half. For
Kosalek, it was her fourth goal this year.

Kidder was happy with her team’s perfor.
mance. “It was a Very solid win. We shut off
alot of their angles effectively."*

The Danes were now 6-6-1 and they had a
chance to pull back over the .500 level as th
headed out to Vermont for a game against
Castleton.

‘The Danes only brought eleven players for
Saturday's game, But it hardly mattered, as
the women booters capped off their im
pressive weekend with a 5-0 thrashing of
Castleton, Kidder sald, They were a young
team, and not very skilled. We are also
young, but we've jelled throughout this
season.”” Albany dominated play from the
very opening whistle. They outshot Castleton
57 to $ and forced their goalkeeper to come
up with 31 saves, Knauil had an easy time of it
in Albany's net, as she recorded her fourth
shutout of 1983

Lisa Lum and Kerry Young fed the Dane
ltack with two goals apiece, Stam tallied the
other Albany goal, The score was only 2-0 at
halftime, and Kidder told her team ‘to shoot
some balls low and wide."’ The reason for
this, Kidder explained, “was to offset the

Reagan blames Moscow for Lebanon, Grenada

(AP) President Reagan charged the Soviet
Union on Thursday night with fostering the
Violence in both Lebanon and Grenada

He said a Cuban occupation of

Just in time,"”

Reagan said the island nation invaded by

and Caribbean forces on Tuesday was

'a Soviet-Cuban colony being readied as a
major military bastion to export terror and
undermine democracy.'”

The president said the foremost mission of
the American forces was to guarantee the
safely of U,S, citizens, “The nightmare of
our hostages in Iran must never be
repeated,"” he declared,

Reagan also yowed that those responsible
for the bombing in Beirut that killed 225
Marines and sailors ‘‘must be dealt justice,
They will be.’”

In a televised address to the the nation,

Reagan said, “The events in Lebanon and
Grenada, though oceans apart, are closely
related, Not only has Moscow assisted and
encouraged the violence in both countries,
but it provides direct support through a net-
Work of surrogates and terrorists,’

“It is no coincidence that when the thugs
tried to wrest control over Grenada, there
were 30 Soviet advisers and hundreds of
Cuban military and paramilitary forces on
the island,’” Reagan said.

‘The president devoted most of his address
to his explanation of why American forces re-
main in Lebanon despite the heavy loss of
lives,

But he declared the invasion of Grenada a
“brilliant operation,”” that thwarted a
takeover of the Caribbean outpost by the
Castro government.

Reagan said the United States had initially
assumed that several hundred Cubans work-
ing on an airport runway on the southern
part of the island could be military reservists.

“As it turned out, the number was much
larger and they were a military force,"
Reagan sald, ‘‘Six hundred have been taken
prisoner and we have discovered a complete
base with weapons and communications
‘equipment which makes it clear a Cuban oc-
cupation of the island had been planned,’”

About 3,000 American forces have landed
on the island since a pre-dawn invasion Tues-

day. ‘It is our intention to get our men out as
soon as possible," the president said, But he
didn’t mention a timetable.

Reagan sald the operation is ‘‘now in the
mopping-up phase," He did not address
reports from U,S, intelligence officials that
Gen, Hudson Austin, the Marxist whose
bloody coup led to the invasion by U.S, and
Caribbean forces, was holding a woman
hostage on the southern part of the island.

Regrettably,"” he said, Cuban President
Fidel Castro ‘ordered his men to fight to the
death and some did, The others will be sent

Reagan sald he ordered the invasion

neighbors “that we join them in a military.

A resolution protesting closed meetings
was unanimously approved by Central Coun:
cil Wednesday night, prompting several stu-
dent representatives to consider walking out
on the commitices they belong to.

In a meeting that lasted more than six
hours, Council also overrode SA President
Rich Schaffer's veto of a revised tax cart
policy, and elected Barbara Hurwitz to the
position of Vice-Chair, replacing Lisa Kerr,
who resigned last Friday.

SA Vice-President Jeff Schneider said
Thursday night that he and Schaffer, who
were both scheduled to attend closed
meetings early Friday, had compiled a ‘‘walk
or talk’? chart to consider the pros and cons,
ut that they were still undecided as to what
action they would take

He said that they would definitely demand
‘an open meeting, but ‘if we walk, then what
will happen with the bus fee and alcohol
policy?”

New NAACP chapter is established on campus

By Eric Hindin
ISTAPE WAITER

Recenily, the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
established a branch on the SUNYA campus.
According to Duncan B, Bailey, president of
the new branch, the NAACP was formed in
1909, and has maintained a branch in
downtown Albany for the past fifty years.
However, it was not until last semester that
the SUNYA office opened,

Ann Pope, second vice-president of
Albany's NAACP, explained “NAACP at
SUNYA was Bailey's brainchild, it functions
fs a separate entity from the Albany branch,
By being on campus, it is in touch with
students, and can serve their needs quite ef-
fectively.””

‘According {0 Bailey, the goals of NAACP
at SUNYA include serving community needs
as well as those of the students both on-
campus and off. One of the primary goals of
the NAACP, {s to fight discrimination,
wherever it may arise. Bailey called the ques-
tion "Does discrimination exist on. the
SUNYA campus?” hard to
know it's there,"" says Bailey, -
not touch it,” Bailey calls it passive
discrimination, which he says may take the
form of jokes, sarcastic comments, and at-
titudes expressed only in the presence of
select friends, Bailey feels he speaks for
othiers, as well as himself in saying that at
times he can ‘feel"” discrimination, but rare-
ly is something concrete enought to directly
address

According to Pope, the downtown branch
will many times confront discrimination, as it
exists in its more obvious forms. At times,

The event, held in the Campus Center
Ballroom, was notable for its lack of many
Democrat office holders, and a small turnout
of students in the audience,

Each candidate was given five minutes to
introduce themselves and their proposals,
and a three minute summary at the end, In
between, a question and answer session was
conducted by SA President Rich Schaffer,
Off-Campus Co-ordinator Suzy Auletta, and
Amy Korcen, a member of Central Council

management, and lower taxes, Burgdorf has
publicly spoken out against ‘democratic
machine politics"? that he says have plagued
Albany, He said that he believes that an open
government is the key (0 a good government.

Citing a recent incident in which an un-
named member of the county government
tried fo gain access to, public records and was
fenied, Burgdorf called the present
Demogratic government a secretive govern-
ment.

Burgdorf also said that he would bring in

By Betsy Eckel

Th an effort to encourage more minority
students to pursue graduate studies at a
SUNY campus, SUNYA hosted the Minority
Graduate and Professional Opportunities
Day held Wednesday in the Assembly Hall of
the Campus Center,

A sixsmember panel, including Assistant
Dean of Graduate Studies Richard J. Farrell,

Direcior of Minority Student Services Carl
Martin, and Minority Recruitment Coor-
dinator for Graduate and Professional Pro-
grams Jacqueline Davis, discussed the
benefits of @ graduate degree and fina
aid programs available to minorities.

The other panelists, all SUNYA gr:

Of Alcoholism, Lynn G. Canton, director of

quality insurance for the State Division for
Youth, and Sam Walton, minority profes-
sional education coordinator for the Office
Of the Professions, discussed their ex-
Perlences in graduate school and gave sugges-
tions to the audience,

According to Farrell, SUNYA has 55
Graduate programs on campus open to
minorities and offers assistantships and

fellowhips that assist qualified students by
providing financial support and a tuition
waiver.

A pamphlet handed out at the session
listed some otter financial ald programs:
Graduate Opportunity Tuition Waiver Pro-
gram, a Graduate and Professional Tuition
Waiver Program for Economically Disadvan-
taged Students, and) the Tuition Assistance
Program (TAP).

Davis sald that minority students should
identify themselves as such on forms so they
ean be considered for special programs,

According to Walton, a prospective
minority graduate student should apply 10
many schools and ask about specific finan
aid programs at each school, Walton also
Suiggested that students should gain as much

nployment eaperience as possible and take
I Teast one computer science course.

Foo advised the students to use resources
such as the university's Career Placement OF
fice 10 see which graduate programs provide
the maximum job potential and which are
beneficial in the long run, “You must link
graduate schoo! with a specitic career,!” sald
Foo.

However, Canton claimed that it’s not
ecessarily bad to be undecided, She jokingly
confessed that she still doesn’t know what
she wants to be when she "grows up.” “The
main objective is just to get a dgree, any one
will do, Nobody ever asked me if 1 tad a
degree in a certain area, just if 1 had a
degree,!" said Canton,

For Foo, grduate school prepared lier for
4 career and paid off economically, "1
became a better leader and can organize,
write, and interact with people," she sald.

Loeb gave some background on Hanford,
explaining that it was founded in 1943 after
the area's farmers and orchard growers were
evicted by the U.S. Government. The people
who were settled there were Informed by the
government that this is a secret project,"
Loeb said, “They couldn't talk to anyone,
he said,

This silence, he said, still continues, “They
(the Hanford plant workers) talk about their

tion, but they don't talk about the product
(radioactive plutonium),"* said Loeb,

What worried Loeb is that a lot of the
residents “didn't distinguish between work
done at home (hobbies, ete.) and work done
on the job,

“They deal with technology which can
breed extinction, This can destroy not only
the present but the future,’ he said, adding
that they treat this as a normal business,"*

Loeb cited an incident several years ago in
Which he said several engineers from the

thought it Was great, Then, they went to

For the past 30 years, a sn
brown-haired woman has been don-
ning a stiff orange smock and
preparing grilled cheese sandwiches
and subs-to-go.

Rose Soffey started working for
University Auxiliary Services (UAS)
on Nov. 9, 1983, She was hired as
aan assistant manager for the snack
bar downtown in Brubacher Hall
Although she was only 32, Rose
already had four children of her
own, not including

the students, “1 Frida

because they did come and ask me
for adivce,"" Rose remembered.
“Wve gotten very close to my
students, any time they want advice
they come in {0 see me,"?

And come they do, because Rose
is such an easy person to talk 10, I's
been fourteen years now that Rose
has been supervisor for the snack
bar in SUNYA’s Rathskellar, but
hier attitude towards the students re-
mains just as warm as when she
began working for UAS, “I've
always loved working with the
students, they've always inspired
me," she sald.

The inspiration is mutual, being
most evident in the way the students
and Rose work together. The at
mosphere at the snack bar Is relax:
ed, yet Rose commands a lot of
respect. The kids file in, telling
Rose that they've finished “doing
meatballs,”” asking if she'd like
them to empty the trash containers,
seeing how she's doing, John Fong,
& junior who's been working for
Rose for three years now, sald that
“Rose is always pleasant... she
always says hon’ or hey doll,”
Although he admits that working
behind the counter isn't the best
type of employment he could get,
he enjoys it, A lot of that enjoy
ment comes from the atmosphere
that Rose has created, “She's pretty
Serious about UAS, . , she definite

“A [ot of the students have asked

Rose, “but my husband has been

want to spend time together. I'm
really worried about leaving,
though, it has been a long time,"

Upon reflecting on her tenure at
SUNYA, Rose noted that she
hasn't found any difference In the
collective personality of the
students that she meets today, and
those that she knew when she began
working 30 years ago. The only dif
ference that she notices is that when
she worked downtown at Brubacher
it was a fot more personal, "You
can hardly get to know the kids
we're always so busy," Rose
lamented,

Even though she is so busy, Rose
is able 10 discuss carcer strategie
With her workers, 1 don't think
that @ bachelor’s is sufficient any
longer. 1s much harder to find
jobs, so many of the students will
have to go on for more degree
Roye said that was't the case 30
Years ago. “When I first started
tudents Were only getting their BA,
now they're getting their masters
and more. I've had some students
for seven or eight years now,"*

Getting more degrees translates
into working long and hard, an in

tegral part of Rose's philosophy.
After the shack bar closes at 11
p.m, Rose will clean counters,
Prepare the next day's food and
reorganize herself until 3 a.m,, a

Why would such an amibitious,
driven person stay in one Job for 30,
years? Rose shrugged her shoulder
nd choked on the words ‘1 love

Wonderful,’

Rose also loves to talk with her
customers, She feels that her job is
very special, as she's responsible for
feeding the same people their dinner
every night, ‘1 do want them to feel
in a very comfortable state when
they come in here to buy food,"

After all those years Rose hasn't

O’Leary gives bus fee
task force more time;
no action till April

‘By lan Clements

Th a memorandum releaged Monday, President Vincent ©
nounced that any implementation of a bus fee will be postponed until at
least April 1, 1984, In order to give the task force he appointed more
time to study the Issue,

O'Leary has agreed 10 a request by the {ask force on University Bus
Proposals to postpone the date on which that body will present [ts
recommendations, according to Student Association President Rich
Schaffer, The deadline date has been pushed back from Noy, 1 to Dee

He added that the task force's requested deferral was made bec
its members felt that they could present better options to the president If
they had additional time to investigate funding alternatives,

Ina related issue, Central Council has requested that the task force's
meetings be made open to the public, Central Council has elted New
York State's Open Meetings Law as the basis for this request,

According to Schaffer, We (Central Council) are submitiing a state
ment to ask the Chair (Professor Shelton Bank) to open the meeting
We are not sure what we are going to do," he sald, but added that "we
fre goinig {o consult the committee first."” Schaffer is one of the thr
stuident members on the Task Force, The other students are Suzy Aule
ta, president of the Off-Campus Association and Dave Silk, member of
Central Council

Shelton Bank, task force chairman and professor with the chemistry
department, would not comment on the current actions of that
organization until after its next meeting scheduled for Friday, Oct, 28

Prior to the Central Council's request for an open meeting, Schaffer
said that there was a “general consensus among the members!” that they
Hot comment separately on the actions of the task force.

The task force was appointed by President O'Leary in August Lo for

vice,

According (0 O'Leary, the university has been diverting funds from
Programs with high {urnover rates, and using the money saved on
salaries there to keep the bus system afloat without the need to charge a

O'Leary explained that programs with temporary job openings allow
the University to save small amounts of money — due to a loss of
salaried positions — throughout the system, The sum of these small

mounts {s currently being utilized to fund the bus program, he notes
that this Is only a temporary move, and that he is looking forward to

Now McDarragh is questioning the right of a student pletely out of context.!* The letter \vent on to threaten

government to hire or fire anybody from a student removing the editor and stopping publication,

Freedom of the press has become an issue at SUNY
schools recently, In the most controversial case of limited
freedom, the SUNY Purchase Student Senate fired Editor-
in-Chief Tim MeDarragh after a dispute over the paper's
name,

MeDarragh now plans to sue the Senate, and the
Wesichester chapter for the American Civil Liberties Union
is working on briefs for the case

Purchase Student Senate President John Williams said
MeDarragh was fired by a majority vote of the senate after
he changed the name of the paper from The Load to
Newspeak in September. Williams contends that McDar
ragh did not use the proper channels for the name change,
specifically that senate approval was not secured

However, McDarragh said, "They used the name change
fas an excuse {0 fire me,"" and further that senate disagree
ment with editorial content was the actual reason.

Seven members of the newspaper staff resigned in protest
of McDarragh’s dismissal, and MeDarragh maintains “it
would be ludicrous for (the senate) to fire me and have
everybody quit, (just because he) broke a senate bylaw."

Williams said, **He was given one verbal and three writ:
{en warnings... t0 change the name back to The Load,”
and “as senate president 1 have the right to fire any
employee of the senate

According to MeDarragh there is a charter for the stu
dent newspaper stating that only a two-thirds vote of the
editorial board can recall an editor, ‘Williams claims that
the newspaper charter doesn’t count because itis superced:

MeDarragh said that a disclaimer in  Newspeak's

by an organization called The Load,’ kept the newspaper

Columbia Journalism Review Editor Spence Klaw said in
fesponse (0 this controversy, "No editor should be fired by

but (student) newspapers often compromise their in
dependence by accepting tax dollars from the
government,"”

“T don’t think the
government should be able
to tell us anything.”’

—Mark Goichman

Klaw added that, ideally, “They still shouldn't be under
any kind of control that limits the freedom of the press."”

In @ similar case, Editor Mark Goichman of the New

critical of the student government

The issue is centered around an article headlined, Kennell
‘igainst minimum wage, about Student Association Vice
President for Finance Greg Kennell’s stand on paying stu-
dent employees.

Goichman admits the headline ‘‘was slightly
misleading,”” but adds the article was well researched and
did not contain any falschoods

Kennell replied to the article with a letter stating, "1 firm:

Goichman said he did not print that latter part of Ken-

Education dean works to create better teachers

By Fran Silverman

Spurred on by cnicial problems
facing the nation's educational
system, Dean of SUNYA’s School
of Education Robert Koff joined 17
other deans from similar schools

across the nation recently in an ef-

Among the universities
tepresented at the conference were
Columbia University Teacher's
College, Harvard University,
Berkeley, Indiana, and the Univer-
sities of Wisconsin and Michigan
which co-sponsored the meeting,
According to Koff, who helped

fort to develop higher teaching
standards,

In a conference held in early Oc-
tober, the deans addressed a range
of issues including the need to at-
tract better qualified students into
the education field and ‘make
teaching a learned profession.”

initiate the conference, “It is hoped
that serious attention to the educa
tion of teachers by a number of the
nation’s leading institutions and
schools of education will result in
other institutions doing likewise,
Koff attributes the major pro-
blems of the education systems to

the fact that fewer academically-
talented persons are attracted to
careers in teaching than were at-
tracted decades ago. ‘The educa-»
tion field used to attract: more
women and minorities, But now
becauise of affirmative action, they
can pursue careers that have in
previous years been closed to them,
This is healthy, but it plays havoc
with the education field," said
Koff,

Koff also noted that the low
salaries received by teachers were
another reason there are fewer
education majors. “Who wants to
pay $50,000 for schooling to
become a teacher and then make
only $14,000? The irony comes
When you teach other children and
prepare them {0 go to college but
you can't send your own children
because you don't haye the
money,"

The resulting shortage of teachers
leads to problems of lowered stan:
dards for educational training

Some things speak for thei

This, Koff asserts, leads to
mediocrity in the teacher's training,

“It is Inconsistent for states to
pass (ough teaching certification
Taws and then grant exceptions
which would permit individuals
Who haye not even graduated from
ollege to teach academic subjects
simply because of teacher shor-
ages. Such a practice merely
panders to mediocrity,” Koff said.

Although the deans are primarily
pleased with the recent media play
education has received since the
Reagan Administration thrust the
subject into the political arena, the
caution against 'quick-fi
answers to education problems,
“Education has become a political
issue and will be in the presidential
campaign. But quick-fix programs
which turn unqualified personnel
into teachers in short periods of
time don't work,"' Koff said.

Koff added that although the ad-
ministration has made education an
issue, “offers from the Federal Of-

have been to cut education severely.
The presidential program includes
prayer in school, tuition tax credits
for private school and the disolving
Of schools for education,"”

The deans present at the con-
ference endorsed the use of finan-
cial ald in grants, loans, and
scholarships for outstanding educa-
ton studenis as well as higher pay
for beginning teachers,

The deans also called on the in-
stitutions represented at the con-
ference to lead the fight in pro-
viding guidlines for improving
education schools,

The group's goals Include the
commitment to continue to meet,
discuss, and research how to im-
prove the education system of the
nation's schools of eduction, In
summing up, Koff sald, “We see a

The following commentary is an extract from his work.
The author begins by polyting, appropriately, that a good

African-American Studies department programs is on the
increase, ‘There is no doubt but that the loss of federal and
private funding for historically African-American colleges
is aimed at crippling them, According to Marable, there
had been added another subtle dimension to academi

Stigmatizes the Africans as genetically inferior to Cau
sians,

Observers have noted a rather disturbing tendency of

Mohler, there is documentation to the effect that there has
been established a three-way marriage among white racist
idemic researchers, the new Right and the politics of the
current GOP Administration, One sharp example of this
trond is the fact that the Pioneer Fund, a national academic
foundation, has been’ known to fund a large number of
verily racist professors, One study revealed that in 1981
the Fund's Directors and Officers included Thomas Ellis,
Known for his more than generous contributions to
Reagan, and John By Trevor, one of the founders, of the
ition of Patriotic Societies

The gravity of this situation, in relation to campus

racism, is represented by the following supportees of the

Harvey was a true showman, and many of the group's
numbers featured dramatic supplements, from burjesque
strippers to guitarist Zal Cleminson’s harlequin make-up. It's
a shame that this Best of collection does not include live ver

searching out the band's Live LP, the only SAHB album still

Itis on the strength of Harvey's best originals that this an

pirate style garb and "yo go-go” chanting anticipate the pos

truly unlike anything else and certainly worth hearing

did always like Halloween, There was something about walking around
In weird costumes and getting free candy In the cool, erisp alr that I dug.
Looking back on It, the whole thing was really pretty weird, | snean,
what could be more bizarre than walking around dressed up as Fred
Flintstone while your best friend was Batman and his litle sister was
Allca from Wonderland, And here were all these older people getting in
to the whole thing and giving you candy! Years later, the same people
can't seem to figure it out when some drug disorlentated kid claiming to
be Batman tries to Jump off the top of a ten-story building

Nevertheless, it was a feeling of great accomplishment to come home
with a.59:cent Woolworth's plastic pumpkin full of Sugar Bables, candy
com, Tootsie Rolls, etc, . . I mean it didn’t come easy — in order to
amass this haul, we'd have to pound more pavement and knock on
more doors than a magazine salesman trying fo support a family of five

what is trick-or-treat? For that matter, what Is Halloween? What is the
relationship between the two of them? Perhaps that great source of

Here's what {found in the pages of the World Book: ", . the evening
of October 31, before All Hollow’s or All Saints Day, It Is observed
‘especially by children, who masquerade, beg for treats, play pranks,
etc,"

Not much there. However, this “All Saints Day” thing Is new to me. It
seams rather odd that a day associated with ghosts and witches, and
about which horror me ‘ies are made, would be a Saints day. It probably
started out asa totally aifferent thing and gradually evolved into what we
have today, Or perhaps the saints Just wanted the youth to enjoy
themselves with treats, pranks and scary tales,

In the full grip of puberty, however, Halloween on a Saturday night
took on a new meaning, The possibilities for hell-ralsing expanded simp:
ly because of later curfews.

later. { believe that Is just what happened one year after my father had
spent an extra-long time carving the perfect jach-o-lantern; we heard a

firecracker. Things were starting to quiet down, as most of the trick-or
treaters had headed home, The big kids had the streets now.

Our first stop was the Grand Union to pick up some yeast. This may
seem odd for Halloween. The store clerks were probably trying to figure
out what outlandish prank we had planned. However, t also happened
to be the cider season, When you're 15 years old, i's necessary to come
up with some creative ways of procuring alcohol. This year we had
decided to Invest in a gallon of apple cider. In order to facilitate the
fermentation process we had also decided to invest in some yeast
(Author's note: Unfortunately, we never got to enjoy the fruits of our
labors, Before adding the yeast, the cider was poured Into two gallon
containers, The idea was to keep down the pressure caused by the
yeast, The containers were then tucked away in my cellar. Well, ap
parently there was too much yeast, because that winter in the quiet of
night, [lightly tapped one of the bottles on the wall and the damn thing
exploded! | had fun explaining that one. The other bottle was poured
down the sink by my mother, A third, using fresh, hard-crushed apples
was poured out by the local police. It just wasn't a year for home brew.)

Next we headed for Wyman's corner. This was the hangout for young
folk from throughout the town. Wyman's corner was an uneven stretch
of sidewalk between Church and Main Streets. Now, there was no
Wyman's street but there was Wyman's Store, The place would draw a
pretty big crowd — 40, 50 or 60 kids on a short span of sidewalk is quite
a lot, Not surprisingly, concerned citizens were quite concerned about
the situation. Eventually, the scene would be killed after police starte
randomly arresting people hanging out there for “disorderly conduct
But now they were coming around every 20 minutes or $0 telling people
to leave, Everyone would walk around the corner and walt for the cops
to leave and then return, It was just game.

Wyman’s corner had a pretty good crowd and there were plenty of
eggs. Asa matier of fact, as soon as we got there, someone smashed an
ogg over Joey's head, Joey tore off after the guy, wasting both his eggs
in a vain revenge attempt, There were occasional outbursts like this
thoughout the crowd. There were also some shaving cream wars, as |
recall

His long hair stil matted with egg, Joey was looking for revenge. He

scribbles with an occasional legible word thrown in

Folks didn’t pull too many "pranks" on terrified motorists driving past
or on property nearby. Most damage — shaving cream, soap, eggs,
pumpkin smashing — was done on reconnaissance missions into the
nelghborhoods,

Everything was going fine until'a cop car drove by. Now this alone
does not constitute any great threat. However, it does when someone
throws an egg at it and connects. The beige unmarked car (which
everyone in town knew) braked hard and pulled over. Two patrolmen
jumped out, Half the crowd ran while the othe half just stayed and
gaped. The first cop (everybody's best bet to be a state trooper |,e, the
big time) walked over to the crowd: "Now somebody gonna tell me who
did that?” Not much of a chance of getting an answer. Although occa:

ur threesome decided it was a good idea to head back up to the hill
‘Anyway, there was some unfinished business — a sort of grand finale
that we wanted to tend to

We had the luck of having the local distributor from a large area dairy
in our neighborhood, This wouldn't have meant much if It weren't for
the fact that he left his refridgerated truck in the backyard — stocked and
unlocked.

We used the best of our Mission Impossible skills when pulling a raid
on the truck, The word was that the guy who owned the truck also own:
ed a gun and had said he'd use it on anyone breaking into the aforeme
tioned truck

The truck was parked toward the back of the yard in {ull view of the
house. We'd first sneak around the perimeter of the yard to the back of
the truck, One person would stand guard outside — we'd usually rotate

while the other(s) went in

Being very quiet, we'd release the latches and carefully open the
heavy door. Inside was a mass of metal crates. We'd carefully climb over
the crates which were stacked three or four feet high, lighting matches to
see what goodies we could find, Usually we'd come up with chocolate
milk, orange and maybe some cottage cheese, It wasn't that we were
hungry for these things. It was just the thrill of getting them, The means
was the end

We thought we hit the jackpot one night when we found a mini-keg in
there, But after that, he started locking the thing up and we had to cool it
for awhile until he “loosened security” again

Getting the ice cream Was a little trickier. The ice cream was stored in
the frot. of the truck, which meant that whoever got {t would be in full

chocolate milk and cottage cheese, and then Phil, the master thief, went
up front for strawberry Ice cream.

We ate some of the haul on the way to Maggle O'Donnell’, but we
didn’t get those five dairy products for the purpose of consumption, We
had other plans for them

Now, Ol Maggie was Phil's next-door neighbor. And, put simply, she
was a pain in the ass, She was always complaining about something and
aven called the police to investigate some of the “operations” we had
going in Phil's back yard. A person like this needed revenge.

We thought about her old, spindly:legged, bug-eyed yapping dogs
but ruled them out because she kept them locked up in the side porch. It
Would be too risky and besides, the things might have heart attacks, That
would be trouble.

However, out in her front yard, O'Donnell had one of those small
ceramic fishermen — about two or three feet high, siting on a benc!

We entered O'Donnell’s yard from the back, sneaking through the

seats and listened, He told us stories about
wars, Wars are what they use jeeps for, he

and wonder why men did these awful things
But he didn't know, Sometimes when we
played in the field we pretended to be men
doing one of those wars, but we never found

Mom would call me to help her find food
and all the moms called all my friends, too,
‘and they helped thelr moms, There was
never any food in the jeep so we never went

Halloween...

By The Book

he Great Halloween Book, by
Mark Walker, is one of those
creative little Idea books that is

juaranteed to be a hot ltem in Junior High
hoo! libraries, But as the author obviously
knows, there are plenty of fun-loving adults
Bwho enjoy the antics and atmosphere of
BHalloween too, so there is something of
Pp value to every member of his audience in this

A great costume Is everyone's first priority,
‘and The Great Halloween Book provides
Bcood step-by-step instructions for all the
favorites, including Dracula, the Wolfman, a
ghoul and the ever-popular wicked witch
Helpful photographs showing each stage of
make-up application accompany the instruc
tions. Other less complicated costumes have
a sketch or single photo of how the finished
effects sh look. Regretable, yet
understandable, {s the absence of more in
Ventive costumes, although Walker's tips on
make-up and props should prove to be of
assistance if you have your heart set on being

Nothing is more riotous oF entertaining
than a good Halloween party. There's no
shortage of suggestions here. For the grown
ups, directions are provided for Halloween
Punch ("Midnight Madness”), homemade

invitations, and special effects. If you want to
go all out, Walker suggests burying pillows in
the front yard so that arriving guests will fee!

kids! parties, Walker gives pages of game,
contest and stunt suggestions certain to keep
the little ones busy, although the Halloween
knock:knock jokes are predictably insipid

Another seasonal favorite is the haunted
house. If you want to set up your place for a
good party atmosphere or to scare trick-or

can swell an organization's treasury.

Due to the fact that people continue to

us who love the holiday to discover the alter

A dim view

To the Editor:

I was angered recently by what I considered to be a very
selfish and thoughtless act on the part of an administrator
with whom I came into contact. I am a sophomore, and
knowing that this semester is quickly coming to an end, 1
realize that I have some very important decisions to make
concefning my-future; declaring my major, is one example,
There are specific questions I have that need answering im-
mediately, and 1 assumed that asking someone in the
department of my proposed major (someone with specific
knowledge in that fleld) would be the most successful way
Of getting these answers,

1 feel that the response I received from the administrator
1 was referred to was totally uncalled for. I greeted him very
courteously, and my questions weren't so demanding that
hey would take up more than five minutes of his time, To
paraphrase him, ‘We have many people who have already
declared their majors, How do you expect us to help those
of you who haven't declared their majors yet. Go see you
advisor in CUE, that’s what he's getting paid for."” My im-
mediate response to that statement would have been, "Are
you cutting me off so quickly because you're not getting
paid (o answer my questions?” Instead 1 thanked him and.
walked away. When I walked out of that building I felt as if
Thad been slapped in the face, What was the reason for this
ype of treatment? don't feel that 1 was so wrong in being.
a little bit concerned about what 1 am going to do with my
life

Being brushed off the way 1 was only shows me the lack
of concern that these ‘educators’ have for the students:
We really are just numbers, (oo many of them, [ have never
had to deal with members of the administration on a per
sonal level before, and this being my first encounter, | was
very disappointed, Unfortunately, it gave me a very dim

Sad commentary

To the Editor:

Lattempted to read “with great amusement’" S.A, Presi
dent Rich Schaffer's letter to the ASP entitled “False ac
cusations,"* Rather than amusement, { felt my stomach tur
ning as our president dug himself deeper and deeper into a
blind defense of his mistakes,

In this letter, Schaffer admitted that he endorsed can:
didates on all quads and off campus for council elections,
One would assume that the president of the Student
Association, when making executive decisions, appoint-
ments, or any other policy decisions, would examine all
es of the issuc, If the president dee
to help guide the electorate in choosing the best candidate,
he must interview all candidates, in order to not remain ig:
norant of the virtues of those candidates with whom he is
not personally familiar, Unfortunately, this did not take
place. Schaffer instead endorsed his friends, however good
their qualifications may be, without any knowledge of
other candidates, He then continued his blunders by pass-
ing up the opportunity to admit his mistake and chose in-
stead to blindly defend it in the ASP.

At the end of his fetter, Schaffer shared his view that the
did ‘one of the best Jobs on this
, this was not good enough, One

familiar with elections policy, This policy clearly states
Where the voting booths should be positioned on Alumni
Quad, and it is the responsibility of the commissioner to see
that it is placed in that spot, Once again, Schaffer gave up
his chance to admit a mistake, and attempted a feeble
defense of his commissioner.

Its indeed a “sad commentary’’ that Mr. Schaffer
not admit that he is wrong, In exactly the same spirit in
which Schaffer offered Mr. Wilson advice on classes, 1
would like’ to offer our president some advice, One of our

Hope for justice

To the Editor:
{ feel the invalidation of the Central Council election on
Alumni Quad is punishing the wrong person for the
stake of the SA elections commissioner.
1 feel that to deny Steve Sinatra the seat which he fought
rd for, and had been told was his, is an injustice, Placing
the poll in a wrong area is the fault of an elections comm!
sioner who should know his election rules, If the elections
had to be invalidated, Tom Busby (elections commissioner)
had over 24 hours to do it before the results were announce
ed.

It is horrible that Sinatra should have this seat taken
from under him, a full two days after he thought the hard:
ship was over, Steve Sinatra is running again this Monday
for a seat which should already be his. 1 wish Mr, Sinatra
luck, and hope justice will be done

— Guy Sansone
Alden Hall President

Very disillusioned

To the Editor:

I find it very disillusioning that Mr. Richard Wilson
should resort to presenting fallacious points across to the
public. It is my opinion that Mr, Wilson believes himself to
be judge and jury of the entire electoral proceedings on
Alumni quad

What Mr. Wilson fails to mention is that he iy an avid
Supporter of Mr. Steve Sinatra's opponent, Nathaniel
Charny, 1 feel he has attempted (0 discredit my name and
Mr, Sinatra's. What this seems to be Is a case of sour grapes
because two central council members from Alumni quad
enihusiastivally endorsed (which is a perfect right that they
Feserve) who they belleved to be the better and more
qualified candidate, Mr, Sinatra,

The Sinatra campaign was officially informed at 8:30, on
Tuesday night of the election results by Central Council
chair Bob Helbock, It seems that Mr, Wilson has attempted
o slander the Sinatra campaign and SA, He has jumped to
some misguided conclusion that there was an underground
conspiracy in SA {0 fix the election, It seems apparent that
Mr. Wilson has read too many spy novels, because these
allegations are totally unifounded,

As to the assertions that 1 was thrown out of the
Brubacher cafeteria, this is just untrue, In fact, Mr, Wilson
Was not even in the Brubacher cafeteria at the time when 1
{eft by myself on my own free will
Iti fortunate that the SA elections commissioner did not
listen to these false accusations, and dismissed it as an at-
tempt to slander the Sinatra campaign. It is unfortunate

that the Alumni elections Were invalidated on a'technicality
that was beyond the control of Steve Sinatra, It seems the
polling area was placed in an incorrect spot by the elections
commissioner, which means the election must be reheld. It
seems Mr. Wilson will have one more chance to try and

If this is the way Mr. Wilson feels, we don’t feed that

Poor planning

To the Ealtor:

We would like to comment on the organization by
Speaker's Forum this past Saturday night prior and during
David Brenner's performance, Ticket purchasers like
ourselves were led (0 believe that this show was general ad+
mission. Therefore, first come, first seated, This was false
advertising,

The gymnasitim Was situated so that there were chairs set
up directly in front of the stage and bleacher seats off to the
sides, As we stood patiently by the entrance people would
come by asking for Ricky Feldman, They were directed to
the opposite doors and let in one half earlier, Although we
were the first and second people on line, we could not get a
seat closer than the fifteenth row, when we were finally
allowed in, We could see If the first five rows were reserved
for people who worked hard (o put the show together, but
fifteen rows is ridiculous,

Ih our opinion David Brenner saved the night, In order
{o be effective a comedian has to be seen, A few hundred
people couldn't see him because the speakers were piled so
high, The comedian, himself, commented on the fact that
the speakers Were too far forward on the stage, He also
stated that he was not a rock group and therefore didn't
need that many speakers. Any person with a bit of common
sense could have seen that this was going (0 be a problen

which is not monolithic in its attitudes, We agree with RZA
that anti-Semitism continues to exist in this country and
that it must be fought, The resur, fecent years of
KKK and Nazi activity and of vandalism of synagogues
bears out this contention, However, we believe thal the ap-
proach of RZA, as reported in the ASP, is counter
productive in that it diverts attention from the real
purveyors of anti-Semitism and also promotes a
misunderstanding concerning the correlation between the

logy of Zionism and Jewish people,
— Mark S, Mishler
Libby Post

Be openminded

To the Editor
Tam writing in response to the article which appeared in
the October 21 issue of the ASP, The article concerned a
SUNY Stony Brook professor named Dube, who teaches a
course about racism. The article reflected the
Zionist groups, whom I respect, but disagree
fattend the class, therefore I do not know how he taught the
subject of Zionism as a form of racism, But I do believe
that if Professor Dube does have legitimate and factual
evidence to support his lecture material, then he should be
allowed to teach on his subject. When dealing with such a
controversial subject, such as racism, it is necessary for
both objectivity and open-mindedness to be kept by both
the faculty member teaching and the students. 1 would also
hope that by the time that we have reached our late teens
and early twenties we would have developed our minds and
‘opinions, independent of that of our professors, We should
also realize that education is simply one side of a many std-
ed polygon, the rest of which we are left to explore,
Therefore, I do not believe that Professor Dube's opinion,
that Zionism is racism will lead to antisSemitism, In fact, 2
feel that anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism run along dif
ferent tracks and hope the contravesy involving antl
Zionism will end in the near future to the satisfaction of all,
— Brooke E. Schenck

Challengers dominate SA forum

<3
of Albany County, Anthony Russo,
was also present while his
Democratic opponent, incumbent
Edward Stack, could not attend,

Russo, a practicing lawyer, had
many {deas for this position, He
sald the fact that he has combined
his campaign with Burgdorf il.
lustrates his belief that ‘'the Comp.
troller should work hand in hand
with the County Executive to assure
the public that fiscal management is
run correctly and that the govern-
ment budget Is being spent in the
most useful way." Russo sald that
the “comptroller should act as a
watchdog over proposals concern-
ing financial practice and make sure
financial transactions made by the
government are in compliance with
the law and for the benefit of the
public.”

Also present at this forum were
candidates for the city legislature in
the tenth and eleventh districts,

ron Gonsalves, the C
Party candidate for the eleventh
district, said she would address the

concerns of tenants, She said she
will try to increase tenant rights and
enact legislation for rent control
and stabilization,

Paul Silverstein, the Republican
and independent candidate for the
tenth district had many proposals
for safety. Among his ideas was one
that would get the police out of
their cars and walking the streets,
Silvertein is opposed to rent con-
trol, Both Paul O'Brien, Gonsalves
opponent and Charles Hil, Silvers-
tein's opponent, were not in atten-
dance,

In the race for Guilderland Town
Supervisor, incumbent Republican
Kevin Moss is being contested by
Democrat Frank Melfe, both of
whom were in attendance, Moss, a
local lawyer, spoke of his past ac-
complishments such as changes in
zoning laws, setting up
neighborhood watch systems and
providing more park space since
beginning his term in January of
1982, He was also instrumental in
creating the new Guilderland
district 22 which is mostly

populated by SUNYA students,
Moss expressed a desire to remain
in office to continue to benefit the
town,

Melfe, who works for the New
York State Division of Youth and
who has never held a political office
before, said that he ‘could work
with people for people."” Melfe,
who has experience in ad-
ministrative planning and policy,
said that the ‘town operations
should be better gulded,'”

Others in attendance Included
candidate for Guilderland Town

Republicans Richard Mur-
ray and John Smircich (Incumbent)
and Democrat incumbent Virginia
Horan, Dave Pyre, Horan‘s runn-
ingmate, was not in attendance, In
the race for Town Clerk, both
Democrat Joan Byrnes and
Republican incumbent Jane Spr-
inger were in attendance, Ernie Or-

, the Democratic candidate for
highway superintendent, is being
opposed by Herb Van Buren, who
‘was not at the forum, In the final
race, Anthony $, Canotre, a

Council elects new Vice Chair

Front Page

Task Force Chairs Neil Brown
and Shelton Bank could not be
reached for comment.

New Vice Chair

Newly elected Vice Chair Barbara
Hurwitz sald Wednesday night that
one of her main goals is to work
closely with Council's committees.
In addition, she said, “I'd like to
become more involved with the Stu-
dent Voice (SA's newsletter) and
help with minority recruitment to
the committees,"

Hurwitz, an off-campus
Tepresentative, was opposed by off-
campus representative Dave Silk,
She defeated him by a vote of
18-8-2, but it takes a two-thirds af
firmative vote of the 33 member
Council to elect a vice-chair, Silk
withdrew his name, and Hurwitz
was elected,

Hurwitz replaced off-campus
Tepresentative Lisa Kerr who resign:
ed last Friday ‘for reasons both in-
ternal to and apart from SA." Kerr
said she is busy with a number of
activities including University
Senate, She added, however, that
she no longer has time for "the pet
y arguing that goes on in Couneil."”

Budget Frozen

SA Controller Adam Barsky
announced during the meeting that
Speakers Forum's budget was
frozen Monday morning, due to
some problems at the Saturday
David Brenner performance.

peakers Forum officials are
meeting Friday with their Student

Activities advisor, Peg Aldrich,

According to Barsky, if the pro:
blems are straightened out, he will

Barsky said that Speakers Forum
had violated SA policy by selling 40
tickets at $9 a piece without SA ap:
proval, All tickets were to be sold at
$8 with a tax card and $13 without
unless SA granted a waiver, Barsky
said, Barsky added that Speakers
Forum also failed to follow specific
operating procedures that they had
planned out with Student Activities
officials, “It was all done
haphazardly," he contended,

Speakers Forum President
Michelle Schwartz said that pro-
cediires weren't completely follow-
ed because several different people
were giving directions to several dif-
ferent members of Speakers Forum,
resulting in some confusion,

d that paw

knew about the tickets sold for $9,
and that he had never told her that
she needed an official waiver from:

Dippikill Development

SA promised the Dippikill gover-
hance Board $21,000 which they
forgot to put aside and now don't
have, Dippikill Manager Richard
Nelson informed Council,

Nelson said the $21,000 is needed
for a power line project, necessary
to continue the development of
Dippikill,

SA does have over $30,000 in
their general fund, However, Bar-
sky said that to appropriate $21,000

to Dippikill at this time, “would
leave us (SA) on the edge of
bankruptcy.

Nothing has been decided on this
matter since no proposal was

‘@ Republican for the position of
Town Justice, Riddett was not in at-
tendance,

All of the candidates expressed
an interest in students voting in
Ablnay. Burgdorf said the students
at SUNYA deserved another polling
place and added that its important
for the students to vote because
“they are an Intellectual and think-
ing block of voters’ and that the
Democratic party has "discouraged
the student vote,'”

Ring, another vocal supporter of
the student voter, said that
“students are a large block of votes
and/can sometimes throw elections

in one way or the other,” He men-
tioned that students should also get
involved in the elctions by getting
active “with specific campaigns or
‘attending budget or zoning hearings
jor the like,””

The turnout at Tuesday's forum
was less than anticipated by Schaf-
fer, “I was a little disappointed
with the turnout,” he sald, adding
that ‘a lot of it had to do with
publicity and the fact that it was
during midterm week.'”. Schaffer
also sald that candidates. ‘have
been campaigning here more than
in past years!” and that students

Reagan vows justice in Lebanon

“The legitimacy of their request,
plus my own concern for our
citizens, dictated my decision,"* said
Reagan,

Reagan said that in Lebanon, the
United States “will do everything
We can to ensure that our men are as
safe as possible.”

He said there was strong clr
cumstantjal evidence that the ter-
rorists réponsible for the bombing
were the same that destroyed th
American embassy in Beirut several
months ago, But he didn’t indentily

Those who directed this atrocity
must be dealt justice, They will be,"
Reagan vowed,

He said the obvious purpose of
the attack was 10 weaken American
resolve and force the withidraivul of
American and French troops from
Lebanon,

*Let me ask those wha say we
should get out of Lebanon; if we
Were to cave Lebanon now, what
message would that send (0 those
who foment instability and. ter
rorism?!? he sald

Anil Reagan also asked:

— "If America were to walk away
from Lebanon, what chance would
there be for a negotiated settlement
producing a unified, demovratic
Lebanon?

“If we turned our backs on
Lebanon now, what would be the
future of Israel?
= "Can the United States or the
free world, for that matter, stand
by and see the Middle Fast incor
porated into the Soviet bloc? Wha
Of Western Europe's an Japan's
dependence on Middle Eist oil?

Brave young men haye been
taken from us, Many otiers have
been grievously wounded, Are we
{0 tell them their sacrifice has been
wasted?"

Reagan sald that was not the

ase, but “We must not strip every
ounce of meaning and purpose
from their courageous sacrifice. If
terrorism and intimidation succeed,
it will be a devastating blow to th
peace process and to Israel's search
for genuine securily,”” he said, "It
won't Just be Lebanon sentenced to

“We are a nation with global

Albany’s Mari Warner: A coach for all seasons

By Perry Tischler

STAPP WRITER

She can be seen pacing up aud
down the tennis court watching
every serve, return, and volley, or
pacing up and down the sidelines of
the basketball court counting every
foul, rebound, and basket, She is
Coach Marl Warner, one of Albany
State's dedicated professionals,

In her third year at Albany,
Coach Warner can sum up her
tenure In one word: “happy."" To
her, happy is turning around a
stumbling women’s basketball pro:
gram or (aking over a losing
women’s tennis program and turn
ing it Into a winning one, Her
method is simple: “practice
keep the players happy, and reap
the beneffts,"”

When the fall season rolled
around, Coach Bob Lewis, the
men's tennis team coach, went
down with back surgery. Summon.
ed {0 fill the bill was women’s tennis
coach Jim Serbalik. This left one
job open, coach of the women's
tennis team, When Warner stepped
in, she inherited a team that went
3.6 the previous season and was in
aire need of a coach,

Afier many hours of practice
every week, the Dane netwomen ran
off a string of four consecutive vic
tories to open the season, After the
Victories came a rash of bad
Weather, injuries, and the loss of
thelr number one player, Deb
Leffe.

The team began to stumble, win-
ning only one match out of the next
six to end their season at 5-5,
Throughout the ups and downs,
Coach Warner remained calm,
reserved, and kept her philosophy.

In the end, she was a winner, The
Dane squad rallied to the top in the
Division III State Championship,
placing in the top third, *1 was very
happy with our season; the girls just
Kept Improving,”” said Warner, As
for her, “it was a new experience
for me and I hope to continue with
the program next season,"

Perhaps the greatest victory in
her season was the admiration and
Fespect won from her players. Not
bad for a rookie,

When it comes to basketball,
Warner is a seasoned veteran with
an improving program. In her first
year, the Dane women cagers fell (o
4 sub:.500 record, After an intense
Program of recruiting, practicing,
and preparation, Coach Warner's
girls ran {0 a 14-6 record last year
and opened up a lot of eyes. In her
third campaign, Warner is very en
thusiastic, “We are looking real
good, we have a lot of depth with 14
Players this year. The girls have
good attitudes and 1 think we're in
for a big season,"

As for Mari Warner herself, she
is a native of Maine who was born,
raised, and schobled there at the
University of Maine, Her life in the
peaceful country atmosphere of
Maine seems to contrast the hard
Work she enjoys at SUNY. Her
plans for the future: “I'm just tak
ing it day by day. I'm real happy at
Albany and 1 hope to continue the
tennis and basketball programs next

Her soft-spoken methods ol
teaching and coaching have not on
ly won her many games, but many
friends. A tribute to college
athletics, Coach Mari Warner has
found the right combination for
success here at Albany,

Women's basketball Coach Marl Warner did a superb job filling the women's tennis coaching slot,

Dane harriers prepare for Albany Invitational

By Tom Kacandes
SPORTS EDITOR

Everyone familiar with the event is predic-
ting a fast men’s. varsity race will be the
highlight of the 17th Annual Albany Cross-
Country Invitational to be held at SUNYA
starting at noon this Saturday. There’ are 15
‘men's varsity teams, 13 junior college teams,
‘and 15 women’s teams entered with a total of
450 runners expected (o compete,

‘The women will run the 5,000-meter
course, JV teams will run the 4.25-mile
course, and two- and four-year varsity teams
will run the full $,05-mile course, At the
meet's end a special Alumni race will be held
‘over the 5,05-mile course. Many cross
country alumni from old Albany and Siena
teams are expected to travel to SUNYA just
to run the race, Sald Albany Head Coach and
meet organizer Bob Munsey, “Our alumni
fare the best and this {s a great chance to get
them all together and haye fun."

‘The men's four-year varsity race promises
to be very fast and exciting, Last year's in+
dividual winner, Michael Graham of Mid-
dlebury College, is expected to repeat. His
winning time last year was 25:34, Compare
that (0 the winning time of 25:57 that both
Dorm Colose and Dan Harteau of Siena

to take it,

‘The other individuals figured to be in the
first pack are freshman Mark Cohen, who
won the SUNY Championships and senfor
Gary Fancher, who was second, both of
Oswego. Fancher seems to be an improved
runner, but he managed to break into the In-
vitational top-15 last year, so he and Cohen
should be right up there.

Danes to face Alfred

<Back Page
two weeks ago, 14-7.

“That doesn't matter at all,”* stated Ford,
“Bach week is a new week. Teams have dif-
ferent styles and some teams can play better
against certain styles than others, Just look at
the NFL."

Although the Danes have gained over 600
yards in the past two weeks, it was ace
complished against defenses not as superior
as the Saxons’,

For the Danes (o put points on the board,
they will have to rely on the young arm of
sophomore quarterback Mike Milano, who
threw for 169 yards last week. With the Sax-
‘on defense geared to stop the Danes’
wishbone ground game, the Danes will have
to move the ball via the pass,

“They're daring us to throw the ball, said
Milano. ‘'They play a man-to-man coverage
and they're practically forcing us to pass.”

‘The Danes will be happy to oblige. In prac-
tice this week, the coaching staff was busy
designing a few new pass patterns to take ad-
vantage of the man-to-man defense,

“They're a great defensive unit,
mented Ford. ‘We'll have to beat them
through the air,

Milano will be trying to find his three
dependable receivers who have combined for
48 receptions between them: Pete McGrath
has 18 catches, while John Donnelly and Bob
Brien each have 15

*{ don't think we can beat them deep,"”
said the senior receiver Brien, who leads the
trio of receivers with three touchdown grabs
"1 feel we'll be able 10 do a lot of short stuff
because they give up a big cushion,"

‘On the other side of the line of scrimmage,
the Danes are hoping to give a better perfor
mance than last week. The defense allowed a

ason-high 31 points, but the blame can't
solely rest on them, Offensive turnovers set
up Norwich in good field position,

Another justification for the 31 points
could be the absence of senior linebacker Ed
die Eastman, who was ejected from the game
in the third period for pushing a referee,

After two wecks of concentrating on con:
taining super running backs — Dave Cook of
Cortland and Winneford Brooks of Norwich
— the Dane defense tomorrow will be con-

cerning themselves with shutting down senior
quarterback Glen Law and the Saxons! ex-
plosive passing attack.

Law has completed $8 percent of his passes
and thrown for cight touchdowns. He has
two very capable receivers in Sam Sanders
Jr., son of Alfred coach Sam Sanders, and
Don Caroll,

Dane defensive end Jim Canfield, who
reltirned (0 the lineup last week after missing
three weeks because of an injured knee, will
be looked upon to put pressure on Law

“1 think he's completely healthy,"” said
Ford, Last week he was rusty and did
have too good of a game. He's been practic-
ing hard all week and he should be back to
top form."

Lately, the defensive problem has been the
abundance of pass interference calls on the
secondary, many of them questionable, ac-
cording to the filmclips, An interference call
last week against defensive back Ray Priore
in the endzone placed the ball at the Dane
I-yard line where the Cadets scored.

As Ford pointed out, it isn’t easy (o repri-
mand the. players for the interference
penalties. ““You can't tell them not to be ag-
agressive or fall off the man just because of a
few pass interference calls, I try to stress that
positioning is the crucial element and you've
Bot to be aggressive,”

If everything holds to form, what might
occur on University Field tomorrow is a
defensive struggle. And usually in that type
of game, a turnover might just make or break
it for the Danes.

\k it’s a tossup,'” concluded the ever:

coach, From the tone of yoice

you'd never think his team was 2-5. He's just
ot used to losing,

Men booters finish season with 2-0 win over RPI

By Mark Levine
SPORTS EDITOR

“IVs always nice to.win,”” said Albany
Head Coach Bill  Schieffelin following his
soccer team's final game of the year, a 2-0
home victory over RPI Wednesday after-
noon. "It's a nice way to end up the year,""

The Danes got a first half goal by Tihan
Presbie and a second half goal by Darwin
Valencia to defeat the Engineers for their se-
cond straight shutout. For the year, Albany
finished with a record of 6-7, their second
consecutive losing season,

This was the last game for Albany
defenders Matt McSherry, Bob Garrett and
Mike Miller, all of whom will be graduating
in May,

[1's a shame it all has to end," McSherry
said following the game. ‘It’s been a lot of

“Matt has improved as much as anybody
we've ever had here,'’ Schieffelin com-
mented, “He and Bob are both totally
dedicated players, They really work hard and
are going to be missed,’*

The win over RPI gave the Danes a two-
game winning streak to build on for next
year. But looking back on the year, most
people concerned with the Albany soccer

rogram will say it was disappointing

The season opened with high hopes on
September 14 as the Danes hosted Oswego.
In a game that Was an indication of the
future, Albany was beaten in the final
minutes 2+1

After two straight wins came two more
fosses Jatc in the game. Albany fell to Cor
tland 1-0 on a goal scored with 2:59 remain:
ing, then dropped @ 2-1 decision at North
Adams in which the game-winner was scored
with 1:01 showing on the clock

Afier beating Brockport 3-1 and getting
blanked by Union 3-0, the Danes ventured
north for a game against Potsdam, In
another heartbreaker, Albany was beaten in
overtime, 2-1

“Those close games make the difference
between a winning and losing season,"
Schieffelin said. "We win those games and
We finish 10:

their schedule: conference games on the road.
against Binghamton and at home against
Oneonta, Two wins could have probably put
Albany in the conference playoffs, but they

Tost both in very close games, 2-1 at
Binghamton and 1-0 against the Red
Dragons, The two losses dashed any hopes of
Postseason play, and the Danes were just
“playing out the year!’ in their last two
games,

“Looking back on the year, I'd have to say
I'm very disappointed,”’ Schieffelin com:
mented, ‘The reason for that is that when 1
looked ahead toward the season, ndwhere in
my own private mind did I think that we
could have a losing season. I thought we had
too much talent,"

The disappointment can be attributed to a
number of things,

In addition to losing Jerry Isaacs and Terry
Bacchus from last year's team, the team was,
plagued by injuries in 1983, No fewer than
five Dane regulars had to miss part or all of
at least one game due (o injury. The most
serious of these were to freshman Francisco
Duarte, who suffered a laceration of the head
and then a hairline fracture of his ankle and
had to sit out the last seven games, and
freshman Allen Westerman, who got
Mononucleosis and sat out all but three
nes.

But the biggest setback, according to
Schieffelin, was not having a junior varsity
program, which was cut from the budget
before this season

Not having a JV hurt us tremendously,"
he said, "We had a lot of new freshmen who
1 didn’t really get a chance (0 sce play, and
they lost a great deal of playing experience by
not being able to play on JV."

Despite the frustrations, there were a
humber of positive factors for the Danes in
1983,

For one thing, Presble emerged into the
team's leading scorer with eight goals in his
freshman season, He is virtually a shoe-in {0
be named to the AllsConference team, and
the freshman forward draws high praise from
his coach

“Tihan is probably one of the most
talented freshmen we've ever had here,"
Schieffelin boasted, '*As far as the American
players that have played in this country all
thelr lives, he's the best we've ever had, He's
Bot a great future in store, and having better
players around him will make him a better
player next year.”

Another plus this yeur has been the play of
Miller, who is also a virtual lock on the All-
Conference squad.

ON LUCKEY UPD.

Senior Mike Miller heads the ball in his final soccer game In a Dane uniform. The

booters defeated RPI, 2.0.

"1 would have to say my biggest disap-
Pointment this year fs knowing that Mike
Won't be back next year, He's just a
dynamite player,"’ Schieffelin said,

But many players will be back next year,
including many promising freshnien, plus
Isaacs and Bacchus, Hopefully, there will be
no “playing out the year!" in 1984

To finish In the top five, the runners would
have to duplicate last Saturday's outstanding
performance,

Head Coach Ron White will be hoping to
find some consistency, After notching their
first win, “Right now we're at a respectable
level," sald White, **The important thing is
to maintain this level. A letdowi is possible
after a big win like the Capital District, so
I'm hoping that we do well,"”

White has set a realistic goal of finishing
somewhere near the middle of the pack, "It
would be fantastic if we could finish in the
top five, but our work would be cut out for
Us,"" noted White, ‘Just to finish in the mid.

die five would be an accomplishment.'*

Co-capiain Karen Kurthy senses that the
team is ready to perform wel
starting to come on strongly,'” said Kurthy,
+ Welre just starting to realize our true poten-
tial,”

Kurthy, who set her personal record at
18:49 last weekend, will be trying to run with
Hamilton's Martha Perkins, The last time
the two teams faced each other Perkins beat
Kurthy by 15 seconds,

Two keys in the race will be the perfor.
mances of co-captain Bette Dzamba and
sophomore Donna Burnham, Dzamba ag-

gravated an injury to her right thigh Inst
meet, and as a result, she is being held out of
the 1am workouts, "Bette is just doing an
easy maintenance week,!” sald White,

Last weekend, Burnham made an im:
pressive comeback after sitting out two mon-
ths with a bad foot, Even though she finished
tenth overall, Burnham is looking for better
things at the States. “1 didn't run that well
last week," asserted Burnham, ‘1 saved a lite
tle so I could finish the race, This meet will be
different, I've been pushing myself in prac-
tice and I really feel strong, 1 want to run a
bit closer to what I'm accustomed to; runn:
ing well here would be a perfect preparation
for the Eastern Championship.’

Maura Mahon, Erma George, Kim Patch
and Chris Varley comprise the rest of the
Seyen-member squad. Mahon has been im-
proving steadily the entire season, while both
George and Varley are coming off personal
bests, Patch has been consistent for most of
this year and is due fora breakthrough accor-
ding to White.

The runners that didn't quality for the
State Championship will represent Albany in
the Albany Invitational, Last year, All-
American Colleen’ Casey of Trenton State
ran the course in an astounding 17:23.8, The
times might not be as fast this year, but the
competition is still of top quality,

One runner who would like a chance to
challenge the competition is transfer Lynn
Jacobs, Unfortunaicly, because of her
transfer status, Jacobs will not be allowed to
run in elther meet this weekend. '1 was really
looking forward to running this last meet",
sald Jacobs, Her time last weekend of 18:44
‘was only one second off of Albany's fastest
time ever. qo

Danes did just that,

Lisa Lum netted her sixth goal of the year

final minute. Last week, the Danes were
beaten by Norwich 31-27, with the Cadets
scoring the winning touchdown with 47
seconds left on the clock, What is most
frustrating to the Danes is that they didn’t
play a bad game. But Ford is aware that win:
ning and losing is the bottom line,

“Football is such a complicated game
said Ford. "We outstatisticed Norwich in
most aspects of the game except for tur
hovers and penalties, and that’s why we
lost.”

Albany's offense, which was nonexistent
in the first part of the season, has undergone
some sort of rejuvenation, Last weck they
outgained the Cadets 318 to 275. Two weeks
ago versus Cortland they compiled 297 yards.
“Our offense has definitely shown improve

cut out the turnovers."”

This week, the Danes will be going up
against a defensive unit that hasn't allowed
more than 14 points in a single game, and
that is including their four defeats
