Cuomo budget seeks SUNY cuts

By Rick Swanson
STAFF WRITER

SUNY students can expect higher
on-campus housing costs and a
higher student-faculty ratio in the
future if Governor Cuomo’s Ex-
ecutive Budget is passed by the New
York State Legislature this spring.

The budget proposal calls for a cut
of at least 228 faculty and staff
members in the SUNY system.

Nathaniel Charney SUNYA’s
delegate to the Student Association
of the State University (SASU), said,
“Cuomo has taken the first step
towards self-sufficency of dor-
mitories by appropriating $1.6
million for thermostats to regulate
heating’.

Students can expect ‘‘seven per-
cent increases in dorm costs’
because of conversion of dormitories
to self-sufficency, said Charney.

The installing of thermostats in
dormitories will cost a total of $4
million, according to Charney, ‘ad-
ding that next year’s budget will
cover the rest of the cost.

SASU_ President Jane McAlevey
said Cuomo’s budget proposal has
“some good points, but not many’’.

“tA lot of money will go to con-
struction and building repair,’”’ said
McAlevery. Another “‘plus’’, accor-
ding to McAlevey, would be “‘$3.5
million in the budget proposal for a
major computer upgrade in SUNY.”

McAlevey said the budget pro-
posal has many “‘minuses,’’ in-
cluding ‘‘severe budget cuts.’’
Cuomo’s budget asks for an increase
in. ‘*forced payroll savings- a very
nebullous term.”’

Forced payroll savings, McAlevey
explained, is the percentage of the
faculty and staff payroll SUNY must
Save, or give back to the state.

Governor
Cuomo’s budget
proposes a cut of
at least 228
faculty and staff
members in the
SUNY system.

An increase in faculty payroll sav-
ings from .5 percent to 1 percent and
in staff payroll savings from 2 per-
cent to 3.5 percent is proposed.
“This translates into a cut of 550
staff members and 50 faculty,’’ in
addition to cuts already made said
McAlevey.

Executive Vice President of
SUNYA Judith Ramaley said that
SUNYA officials are very dissap-
pointed with the proposal. ‘There
are a lot of hidden cuts that don’t
show up in the public’s eye.’*

“What the cuts amount to,” said
Ramaley,‘‘is that the positions re-
main, in theory, but must be left

open for savings that go to the |

State.’”

quired,’’ by Cuomo’s budget
Ramaley said, “‘SUNY would have
to cut.a large number of faculty and
staff.””

“There is not enough money in
the budget for the employees we
need,” Ramaley explained.

Cuomo presented the $41.3 billion
budget proposal to the Assembly on
Wednesday, January 15. The pro-
posal calls for about $1.2 billion in
tax cuts and fiscal reform and $1.5
billion in increased spending.

Also proposed is the doubling of
the Tuition Assistance Program
(TAP), to $1,200 annually, the first
increase since 1969. Five million

Kosher kitchen tainted by foul-up

By Karen E. Beck
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Due to an error in shipping, between forty and fifty
students who subscribe to the Kosher meal plan on Dutch
Quad were served non-Kosher egg rolls last Friday.

According to Aryeh Heintz, manager of the Kosher kit-
chen, a box of non-Kosher egg rolls were erroneously
jabelled as Kosher and sent to Dutch Quad cafeteria
sometime last semester.

The eggrolls should not have been served because they
contained shrimp, which are considered non-Kosher
because they are scavengers and do not fins and scales.

Heintz said that when the shipment arrived, he realized
the error and returned it to the commissary but the box
came back to the Kosher cafeteria because it was still
marked as Kosher.

“T am the only one who is supposed to check food into
thé Kosher kitchen,” said Heintz. ‘Apparently
somebody else checked in the Kosher egg rolls in my
absence.” :

Heintz left the cafeteria early that day due to illness.
“‘No deliveries should have been accepted without me
there,” he said. ¢

“When I left, I assumed the eggrolls were the same
ones I had checked in in the morning,”’ said Heintz. ‘I
didn’t realize there had been a problem until about 6:30
p.m. when I began receiving phone calls about the pro-
blem,”*he added.

At that time, Heintz said he returned to the cafeteria
and stayed there until 12:30 a.m.

Kosher laws, or Kashruth, require that a purification
process take place after non-Kosher food is prepared with
Kosher utensils.

“This is done in order to make sure there is no residue

of the non-Kosher food on any utensils. The oven had:to
be burned out with a blow torch and some utensils had to
be either boiled or replaced,’ said Heintz.

Rabbi Jay Kellman, advisor to the Jewish Students
Coalition (JSC) who monitors the kitchen on Dutch Quad
to see that Kashruth is properly adhered to, said that the
rabbinic supervision is usually reliable. ‘‘No system in-
volving human beings is ever infallible,”” he said.

Kellman was the supervisor of Kosher laws on Dutch
Quad from 1979 to 1984. ‘‘In the years that I have been
supervising the Kosher kitchen,’’ he said, ‘this is the only
time a mixup of this kind has occured.””

“By observance of the precepts of the Torah, which in-
clude Kosher laws, Jewish people sanctify their lives and
draw closer to God,’’ Kellman said. Along with the
Kosher laws, there are given solutions in case of such
mistakes,’’ he added.

Kellman said that shrimp and all other shellfish are ‘‘as
typically non-Kosher as pork.”’ a

“There are provisions built into the system in the
Kosher kitchen for any mistakes that might happen,”
said Kellman. “It should be noted the remarkable pace
with which the situation was taken care of,”’ he added.

Kellman and Dutch Quad kitchen manager Tony
Klough stood on the Kosher line for two and a half hours
the following evening to “‘apologize and to explain the
situation to concerned students,”’ said Kellman.

Stuart Isralowitz, a student living on Dutch Quad who
has eaten Kosher food his entire life, is one of the
students who ate the non-Kosher egg rolls. “If something
is advertised as Kosher and the people in charge are.
reliable, there is nothing you can do when a mistake like

this is made,” he said.

Albany grouper

law suspended —
by court injunction

By Ilene Weinstein
NEWS EDITOR

A preliminary injunction granted by the New York
State Supreme Court against the City of Albany is be-
ing seen as a major victory in SUNYA’s Student
Association’s anti-grouper law suit.

The injunction granted by Supreme Court Judge
Joseph P. Torraca on December 19 prevents city of-
ficials from evicting tenants who are living in violation
of the grouper law.

Torraca will be ruling on a permanent injunction in
the case sometime within the next year which would
decide the constitutionality of the law under state doc-
trine, according to SA President Steve Gawley.

“As of now there is no grouper law,”’ said Gawley,
who was very optimistic about SA winning a perma-
nent injunction against the city. ‘Students are clearly
protected for the first time. This is an important
victory.”

SA first sought a temporary injunction against the
city on October 28 before State Supreme Court Justice
Edward S. Conway. The temporary restraining order
protected only the sixteen plaintiffs named in SA’s suit.

The temporary restraining order did not prevent city
officials, however, from taking action against other
students named in the suit.

According to Gawley, Conway andTorraca granted
injunctions because “‘they realized we have an excellent
case.”’ Students faced with eviction in the middle of the
semester would “‘suffer serious problems that could
not be rect :

There is a good reason to be optimistic about winn-
ing the suit, said Gawley. ‘‘It seems highly. improbable
that he (Torraca) would rule against us,”” he said, ad-
ding that the final decision ‘‘will only confirm why
(Torraca) gave us the preliminary injunction in the first
place.’”

“We are at the climactic point in the suit;’’ said
Gawley, adding that ‘‘we are two-thirds-of the way
there as we now must wait for the final ruling.”

According to SA attorney Lou Oliver,.a judge must
find reasonable likelihood that the plaintifs will win a
case before granting a preliminary injunction. ‘Things
are looking reasonably good,”’ said Oliver who cau-
tioned, however, that ‘“‘there are no guarantees in
law.””

While SA’s case is pending, students will be able to
share apartments with more than three unrelated peo-
ple, said Oliver. If SA loses the case, however, “‘we
can’t predict’? what the court will do.

A recent New York State Court of Appeals ruling
has bolstered SA’s case, said Gawley. In the McMinn
y. the Town of Oyster Bay decision, the Court of Ap-
peals ruled an anti-grouper law ‘‘similar to our own”’
as being unconstitutional.

The decision in the Oyster Bay case was ‘‘very
helpful,”’ said Oliver. While the ordinance was slightly
different, the principle is the same. It is irrational and
arbitrary to attempt to control population density, den-
sity of traffic, and garbage, he said. oe

Bangkok, Thailand
(AP) Communist Khmer Rouge guerrillas
on Sunday said they killed 30 Vietnamese
soldiers and wounded 20 last week in a
town near the Cambodian capital of
Phnom Penh.

Khmer Rouge radio, monitored in
Bangkok, said guerrillas on Jan. 19 attatk-
ed the Vietnamese at Sithokandal in Prey
Veng province, and “‘liberated”’ the town.
Prey Veng is about 30 miles east of Phnom
Penh.

The Vietnamese twice attempted to
recapture the town that day but were
repulsed by the guerrillas, the clandestine
tadio said. No Khmer Rouge casualty
figures were given. The broadcast did not
say how long the guerrillas occupied the
town. The report could not be in-
dependently confirmed.

The Khmer Rouge is joined with two
non-communist groups in battling Viet-
namese forces that invaded Cambodia at
the end of 1978.

Nairobi, Kenya
(AP) The leader of an estimated 9,000
rebels who chased soldiers of Uganda’s
military government out of the capital pro-

and politically bankrupt’? rule and punish
those responsible for political violence.

Yoweri Museveni, who has directed a
guerrilla war by the National Resistance
Army against both civilian and military
governments for the past five years, spoke
Sunday on Uganda’s government-owned
radio as it broadcast for the first time since
midday Friday.

Whereabouts of the head of the military,
council, Gen. Tito Okello, were not
known. Okello ousted civilian President
Milton Obote last July and signed a peace
agreement with Museveni on Dec. 17.

But the rebel leader, charging that the
military council failéd to control violence
by its soldiers, opened an offensive and.
seized Kampala on Saturday, after eight
days of fighting. .

Students stage sit-in

(AP) Dozens of students occupied the
University of Pennsylyania’s administra-

protest the trustees’ refusal to sell South
African investments.

The students vowed to remain in College
Hall until officials arranged a meeting with

a majority of a 12-member committee that
helps formulate the school’s policy on
South Africa.

At the committee’s recommendation,
the board of trustees voted 29-5 Jan. 17 to
wait 18 months before reviewing the
school’s $92 million investment in com-
panies operating in South Africa. The vote
came days after South African Bishop
Desmond Tutu met with the board to urge
divestment.

‘Meat Week’ declared

Washington
(AP) It’s National Meat Week, time for
everyone to enjoy a juicy hunk of steak or
ham, or maybe a lamb chop or two, said
the - American Meat Institute, which
Tepresents the meat industry.

But some animal welfare groups and
nutrition advocates said Americans eat too
much meat and that the mass production
techniques of turning out cattle, hogs,
lambs and poultry are too cruel.

The industry counters with its own
messages, -claiming Americans prefer
meat, and that pot roasts, chops and
burgers are essential to balanced diets.

Snowstorm hits NY

New York
(AP) A powerful winter storm. that
dumped up to a foot of heavy snow and
freezing rain on northeastern New York
overnight knocked out power to thousands
and closed most schools in the region
today.

Between 11,000 and 14,000 Niagara
Mohawk Power Corp. customers between
Saratoga Springs and Ticonderoga were
without power this morning, according to
utility spokesman Francis Kelly in Glens
Falls.

Kelly said the heavy snowfall ‘‘is taking
lines down as fast as crews can get replace-
ment lines up.”” He said crews have been
fighting power outages since Sunday after-
noon and that some rural customers won’t
get their electricity back until tonight.

In Albany, Niagara Mohawk

were without power in the Schenectady-
Rotterdam area. Another 2,300 customers
in Voorheesville, about 10 miles west of
Albany, were also without electricity.

Cuomo draws fire -

Albany
(AP) New York Gov. Mario Cuomo got a
premature taste of presidential politicking-
-drawing fire from top Republicans after
becoming embroiled in debates over ethnic
“slurs”? abortion and executive clemency.

The liberal Italian Catholic governor
says he is not looking beyond his re-
election bid this year, but he is mentioned
frequently as a possible Democratic
presidential contender in 1988.

As such, Cuomo has been the target of
unusually heavy criticism from the GOP,
from Vice President George Bush to Party
chairman Frank Fahrenkopf, who on Fri-
day called him “‘the heir apparent to the
left wing of the Democratic Party, the suc-
cessor to Walter Mondale and Ted
Kennedy.”’

Last week, responding to a syndicated
column assessing his presidential chances,
the, uncommitted Cuomo said, ‘If
anything could make me change my mind
about the presidency, it’s people talking
about, ‘An Italian can’t do it, a Catholic
can’t do it.’’ Cuomo said he might be
goaded into running if the “slurs” about
his ethnic background continue.

Campus repairs begun over break

By Andrew Kantor

While most of SUNYA’s- students
vacated the campus during winter break,
the Physical Plant Department made some
repairs and improvements to the uptown
campus.

Most noticeable to students are the glass
smoke doors installed on Colonial, State
and Indian Quads, both in the towers and
leading to the cafeterias, and the new fire-
resistant: curtains in the towers on those
quads. The smoke doors and the new cur-
tains cost about $350,000 according to
Dennis Stevens, Assistant Vice President
for the Physical Plant. The curtains were
purchased and installed in conjunction
with the Office of Residential Life.

In addition, ‘thousands of man-hours”
of routine maintenance work was done,
according to Stevens. This included:

— a complete fire safety systems check
of all the dorms

— replacement or repair of EXIT lights
and fire doors where necessary

— load testing of elevator cables and
rebuilding of cabs

— painting and plumbing repairs in
bathrooms on Dutch Quad

— relamping of the Lecture Center and
more than two floors of the library

— seat replacement and repair in the in-
ual Lecture Halls

— a new electrical and air-conditioning
system installed in the Computer Center to
accomodate the new IBM computer

The Physical Education building also
received some work, including painting,
locker room refurbishing, repair of air
dryers in the women’s locker room, and
improvement of plumbing facilities. In ad-
dition, both the heat exchanger and under-
water light of the pool were repaired and
replaced, he said.

The latest repair work had to be done to
the 308,000 gallon water tower only a week
before the start of classes, said Stevens. A
ten-inch metal cap separating the internal
heating system from the main water
storage broke, flooding the heating system
and causing the water inside to begin
freezing. 2

The tower-was drained, he said, adding
that the cap was‘replaced and the water
pumped back in the day before the dorms
were opened.

The water tower helps to provide cons-
tant water pressure to the uptown quads,
especially the towers, and can be used to

fight fires if necessary, Stevens said.

The smoke doors will be a valuable life-
saving factor in the evgnt of a fire, Stevens
said. When completely installed, by the
beginning of the next school year, they will
be held open by electromagnets tied into
the existing fire alarm system. The doors
will close automatically in the event of a
fire, preventing smoke ‘from ‘spreading
beyond a limited area, he said.

The magnets will help save wear and tear
on the doors and will eliminate the poten-
tially dangerous practice of propping them.
open with chairs or cans, Stevens added.

Eventually, the electromagnetic system
will be expanded to the presently existing
steel fire doors as well, said Stevens, ensur-
ing the complete compartmentalization of
any area in which a fire starts. This, com-
bined with the fire-resistant drapes and the
planned improvement of the sprinkler
system, will make Albany one of the safest
schools in the SUNY system, he added.

The other maintenance done over winter

break is a part of the Plant Department’s
continuous program of updating the ex-
isting plumbing and electrical systems, said
Stevens. Although only required to meet
1967 fire safety standards, the uptown
campus is kept up with the most recent
Federal requirements, he said.

“A lot of people think of SUNYA as
new,” said Stevens, pointing out that the
uptown campus is almost twenty years old.
“The campus isn’t new, and when things
get old, they break. It’s the Plant Depart-
ment’s responsibility to try to prevent
breakage and to repair whatever ‘does

~break. ‘‘Vacations are very active periods

for us,”’ Stevens said. ‘If we do our jobs
well, no one should see. Things should just
happen.”

In the future, the smoke doors and fire-
resistant curtains will be installed on Dutch
Quad, said Stevens, adding that the work
will probably be done this summer.

Stevens said he also hopes to expand the
present sprinkler system in the near future.

Outcry halts outing to Bennington bars

By Colleen Deslaurier
‘STAFF WRITER

A highly publicized bus trip to the bars
in Bennington, Vermont, where the legal
drinking age is eighteen, has been cancell-
ed due to its controversial nature.

The event, ‘Take The Bus To The
Bars’’ was to be sponsored by Delta Sigma
Pi and was planned for this Thursday.

However, President of Delta Sigma Pi
Marty Gruber said that people in Vermont
learned of thé event through a television
broadcast and grew alarmed that other
groups would follow suit.

Gruber said that arrangements were
made with the Ramada Inn in Bennington
to accomodate the large crowd .an-
ticipated. According to Gruber, this was
the only bar that could accomodate this
many people.

The Ramada Inn cancelled the event due
to community pressure, said Gruber.

The students on the trip were to return
to Albany that night. Bennington is a one
hour drive from Albany.

“The original idea,’-said Gruber, ‘‘was
to go to Vermont where the students could
have a good time without worrying about
the drinking age.” The drinking age in
New York was raised to 21 last December.

Gruber said that it is not “‘worth the
trouble to fight (the authorities) on the
situation.” He said, however, ‘that he is
concerned with seeing what kind of feim-
bursement the fraternity will receive from

the Ramada Inn,

As it stands now, Gruber said, Delta
Sigma Pi is losing money because of the
costs of priting posters and chartering the
bus.

Betty Ginzburg, Student Association’
Programming Director, said that SA was
not involved with the bus trip. SA
“doesn’t feel that it’s appropriate for these
groups to spend SA money on these (types
of) trips.” Ginzburg added that SA
“discourages any group from doing this
type of thing.”

Promoting trips to transport students
across state borders is something that
SUNYA shouldn’t be part of, she said.

“It’s a dangerous thing to start,’ Ginz-
burg said, also mentioning that there are
certain risks involved in taking these trips.

SA President Steve Gawley said that he
wouldn’t encourage groups to take bus
trips to Vermont.

He did, however, say that it was a
preferable way to travel to Vermont if peo-
ple go and drive individually. Questions
concerning legal liability also remain,
Gawly said.

SA wouldn’t do this (travel cross-state)
until we looked into legal liabilities and in-
surance,’’ Gawley said.

However, many other fraternities are
currently considering trips similar to’ the
Bennington trip in order to “‘escape. the
drinking age.””

“Mike Liebowitz, President of Pi Lamb-

da Phi, said a fraternity ski trip, possibly
to Vermont, is currently in the planning
stages. According to Liebowitz, he
“‘wouldn’t be surprised if we did throw a
party in Vermont.’ E

Liebowitz said that the fraternity was
planning to take advantage of the 18-year-
old drinking age in New York’s neighbor-
ing state.

Larren Nashelsky of Sigma Alpha Mu
also said that their social committee was
investigating the costs of a similar trip, and

that something might possibly occur _

within the next couple of weeks.

Martin Glovin of Tau Sigma Phi, said
that his fraternity is currently looking into
the risks that could be involved in a trip to
Vermont and what type of liablity would
be involved. F

Some fraternities have added new social
events to get around the 21-year-old drink-
ing age in New York State. According to
Howie Sonnenschein, President of Zeta
Beta Tau (ZBT) there will be more em-
phasis on non-alcholic events and .on
athletics. One idea he has proposed is to
rent a club where no alcohol would be
served. ‘‘This way, people of all ages could
enjoy themselves.”

“It’s good for people who don’t have to
drink to have a good time,”’ Sonnenschein
said. He added that he hopes ‘“‘more
fraternities will do the same at other clubs
as well.

Gramm-Rudman
could jeopardize
fed. student aid

By Pam Conway
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The Gramm-Rudman amendment,
which became law in December and
whose purpose is to eliminate the na-
tional deficit by 1991, could result in an
estimated loss of 20 to 40 percent in
federal spending on financial aid.

According to a statement released by
Dr.Dolores E. Cross, President of the
New York State Higher Education Ser-
vices Corporation (HESC), overall
federal spending for the fiscal year 1986
will have to be reduced by an estimated
$11.7 billion, a cut which could lead to
as much as five percent decrease in fun-
ding: for higher education.

“‘Gramm-Rudman is the most serious
threat to financial aid ever,”’ said John
Amman, project coordinator for the

‘New York Public Interest Research

Group (NYPIRG).

“Although Gramm-Rudman has
passed, we are still opposed to it. Finan-
cial aid will be cut drastically. These cuts
are estimated at anywhere from 20 to 40

percent,” said Amman.
The impact of these cuts will be
serious, according to Amman.

“Thousands of students will either have
to drop out, go part time, or get a job.”’
According to figures released by the
New York State Education Department,
total funding education nationwide in
fiscal year 1986 will be decreased by
$401 million from fiscal year 1985.

Education Department officials
predict that even further cuts could be in
store as a result of the terms of a deficit
reduction agreement worked out betwen
the House and Senate and signed into
law by President Reagan.

Cross. stated that: HESC ‘recognizes
the need fora balanced federal budget.
However, our concern is that the pro-
bable changes to student aid funding
tevels...would destroy the progress that
has been made in providing educational
access and choice for all students.’”

The Education Department estimates
that approximately 68,000 students
from middle-income families will be
denied federal scholarships next fall,
although Pell Grants will only be denied
to students who are barely eligible.

The income cutoff for Pell Grants will
be lowered from $25,000 to $24,000 for
a,student from a typical family of four,
according to Sally Christensen, * the
Department’s top budget officer.

According to Amman, Congress must
now draw up a budget which will greatly
affect student aid. ‘If Congress can’t
make deficit reductions through the nor-
mal budget process, across-the-board
automatic cuts will go through affecting
every program,’’ he said.

“There are three options regarding
the budget’, said Amman. ‘‘All cuts
could come out of domestic programs
only, or both domestic and military pro-
grams, or taxes could be raised.”

.Tax increases seem unlikely, said Am-
man, because “‘raising taxes is a heavy
political liability. President Reagan had
promised not to raise taxes but he might
be backed into a corner because Con-
gress doesn’t want to make massive cuts
in domestic programs.”

-Amman said that NYPIRG is work-
ing to see modifications made in the bill
and for financial aid not to be targeted.

“‘We have already taken our lumps,””
said Amman. ‘‘Aid has already been cut
20 percent between the 1980-81 and
1984-85 fiscal years. Gramm-Rudman is
a real threat to students.’’

SUNYA’s Director of Financial Aid
Donald Whitlock said that although
federal financial aid will only be cut by
about four percent this year, ‘The long-
term effects are frightening.”

Bloomington, Ind.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Campus police at In-
diana University, brandishing a warrant issued by a
local prosecutor, rushed into an IU residence house
during the screening of an X-rated movie on
November 16, flipped on the lights, and seized the
film, leaving a perplexed audience behind.

It was the first time a group had tried to show a
porn film on the campus since a student/faculty
group last spring had refused to ban the movies, but
had strongly urged groups not to screen them.

Before that, IU administrators had imposed a
“moratorium” on X-rated films.

The incident at Indiana may be indicative of
tougher stands against pornography on many cam-
puses recently, as well as what some observers think
is a rising tide of censorship.

“I would say (censorship) is increasing,’’ said a
spokesman at the New York headquarters of the
National Coalition Against Censorship. ‘‘They are
clamping down on many college campuses.”

In recent months, Penn State barred X-rated
films from certain campus viewing rooms, while
Michigan State student groups threatened to sue to
get MSU administrators to drop a campus-wide
blackout of dirty movies.

Starting this fall, porn films can’t be shown at the
University of Texas at Arlington campus unless
they’re part of an ‘‘educational program.”

And Baylor President Herbert Reynolds last spr-
ing halted the screening of an R- rated movie,
though not without calling the ’’fundamentalist
students” who complained about the film “a
religious KGB.””

In just the last few weeks, Illinois’ student
government narrowly overruled a motion from
anti-pornography forces to deny film sponsors the
normal adverstising discounts student groups get
from the student newspaper.

Student groups, in fact, often instigate the
“censorship.””

At Wisconsin, for example, student groups voted
to bar the selling of Playboy, Penthouse and similar
magazines at the student union, arguing the
publications exploit and denigrate women.

But last week Wisconsin administrators, fearful
of losing a potential lawsuit charging the university
with violating the publishers’ First Amendment
Tights, announced they wanted the union to begin
selling the magazine again.

Nowhere have the anti-pornography forces been
as militant as at Indiana, however.

In a prepared statement, Monroe County (Ind.)
Prosecutor Ron Waicukauski said he acted ‘in
response to several complaints from students and
citizens’? when he ordered the dramatic Nov. 16
raid on the showing of “Insatiable.””

Waicukauski added the judge who observed the
film “found probable cause that the movie was
obscene in violation of Indiana Code 35-49-3-1.””
Although Waicukauski ‘‘expected that several
criminal charges will be filed later this week (Nov.
17-23),”’ none had been filed as of November 25.

“It’s a legitimate way for students to raise money
for campus activities,” argued an angered Mark
Bryant of IU’s student government. “Right now,
there-is no rule against it.””

Bryant added that, since the impounded film can-
not be returned to the distributor, the students who
put down a $700 deposit on the film could lose their
money.

Moreover, Bryant noted prosecutor Waicukauski
apparently has not sought to restrict films shown at
the X-rated movie house in downtown
Bloomington.

He said the raid may put the issue “right back at
the top of the student government agenda.””

When it gets there, the porn film sponsors may
nothave many friends.

“The general feeling is that it’s really not ap-
propriate,” said J.R. Cumberland, assistant to the
student senate president.

“I abhor censorship in any form. I don’t think
it’s healthy,”’ said Nancy Brooks, interim of IU’s
Office for Women’s Affairs. But “my apprgach is
to educate people away from pornography instead
of censoring it,”’ Brooks added.

“Anything that presents a degrading picture of
women and men and human sexuality can’t be
anything but harmful,” she maintained.

St. Rose SA exec. quits during missing funds probe

By David Spalding
STAFF WRITER

A ‘‘possible ‘misapproppria-
tion”’ of $7,600 in funds front the
College of Saint Rose (CSR) Stu-
dent Association budget recently
has resulted in the resignation of
SA Vice President for Financial
Affairs.

According to SA President
Larry O’Brien, the former Vice
President, Gregg Trask, resigned
during a preliminary investigation
into the ‘‘possible misappropria-
tion” of SA funds.

Although O’Brien would not
specify exactly what happened to
the funds, he said that Trask
would repay the funds in full by
March. This agreement was
reached between Trask and ad-
minstration officials.

Eric Gloo, the Co-Editor of
CSR’s campus paper Inscape,
said that student reaction to the
misappropriation was ‘‘mostly
shock. People just could’nt
believe this was happening on our
campus.”

Trask’s resignation was well-
publicized through local
newspaper and television
coverage. WRGB (Chanel 6) con-
ducted a ‘‘Newspoll’’ asking
viewers if they felt Trask should
be prosecuted for the misap-
propriation. The results,
however, are unavailable at the
present time.

When asked if CSR’s public
image has suffered because of the
incident, Gloo said,‘I don’t
think so. They’re making the pro-
cedures (for auditing) more com-
pact so this does’nt happen
again.”

According to Richard Olshak,
the SA Vice President for
Academic Activities, there have
been“‘no adverse effects” in the

ministration relationship as a
result of the misappropriation.

“We worked well with them
and they. worked well with us,”’
said Olshak describng the hear-
ings conducted between an in-
vestigation committee and the
student government.

Student reaction has been in
favor of the Student Assemblies
actions during the investigation,
said Olshak. “‘We have recieved
many compliments from students
on our handling of the incident,”
he added. The Student Assembly
is the legislative body of CSR’s
student government,

According to O’Brien the miss-
ing funds were discovered during
the final days of last semester.
O’Brien said he checked the bank
records, discovered the discrepen-
cies, and reported it to the Dean
of Students Mike D’Attilo.

O’Brien, D’Attilo, and Assis-

tant Dean of Student Affairs Jeff
Long began the preliminary in-
vestigation which resulted in
Trask’s resignation said O’Brien.
Both D’Attilo and Long were out
of town and could not be reached
for comment.

The investigation has been
completed and as a result we have
a new auditing system. said
O’Brien. SA will continue to have
total autonomy over their money,
said O’Brien. The auditing will,
however maintain ‘‘student
interests.””

SUNYA SA President Steve
Gawley. said the misapproriation
is “‘unfortunate because it tar-
nishes the image of the whole Stu-
dent Association.”*

Gawley, who has become
familiar with his CSR counter-
parts, expressed disappointment
that such an incident could hurt
what he described as ‘‘a-good
group of people.”’ o

SA freezes 50 group budgets

By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER

Fifty funded group leaders
returned from their winter breaks
and found their budgets frozen by
S.A. Controller Eric Schwart-
zman. The 50 groups were among
a total of 83 whose budgets
Schwartzman reviewed for the
Spring semester.

According to Schwartzman,
the criteria he used to review the
groups came directly from
budgetary policy.

Eight groups were categorized
as being inactive and 16 groups
were spending less than 25 percent
of their budgeted appropriations.

“The money is there for groups
to spend. When groups are not
spending, it means they aren’t
programming effectively,’’
Schwartzman said. The budget of
the group might revert to a
general fund for new groups, he
said.

Laura Wyant, President of
Women’s Intramural Recrea-
tional Activities (WIRA) said, the
budget review “‘is a hassle
especially when I have a group
that is so small.” WIRA was one
of the groups which spent less
than 25 percent of its budget and
made less than 25 percent of its
income line. Thirty-two groups
had their budgets frozen for not
spending 25 percent of their
budget lines.

“This puts a lot of pressure on
our group to.make this income
line. If you get your income line
(settled) at the end of the year it
should be good enough,” said
Wyant.

Neil Garfinkel, President of the
Pre-law Association said he feels
there are no problems with this
system. ‘‘Eric (Schwartzman) just
wants to keep the money straight.
This way he keeps and eye on
everyone.””

The Pre-law Association found
its budget frozxen for the same
reasons as WIRA. “If you know
what has to be followed there
should be no problem,’’ Gar-
finkel said.

Schwartzman said that ‘‘mak-
ing less than 25 percent of an in-
come line is a serious matter.”
Some groups have upcoming
events that will probably balance
their budgets, he added.

Fuerza Latina President Nikki
Pion said, “We will have no pro-
blems (in making our) income.
Our Spring Dance is a big event.”
Pion said she did not know her
group had made less than 25 per-
cent of their income line and only
found out when her budget was
frozen.

Off-Campus Association
(OCA) President Jon Harrison
said that freezing a large number
of budgets was a good idea. “If
you don’t do it they can get away
with the money,” he said.

Jonathan Cosin, WCDB Presi-
dent agreed by saying, “‘it’s a
good idea to keep tabs on
people.’”

Eight groups were frozen
because they spent in excess of 75
percent of their budgets.
“University Concert Board spent
a lot of its budget. The Daltry
concert was just bad timing,’’
said Schwartzman. ‘Theater
Council is a relatively new group
with its account in read. I don’t
predict them to get out of it,”’ he
added.

Donald Smirti, President of In-
dian Quad Board, another group
which has spent over 75 percent’
of their budget, expects his
budget to be unfrozen soon.
“The policy is a formality, but
one that is necessary for serious
review by groups who have great-
ly overspent,”’ Smirti said.

According to Schwartzman,
the groups with more than 75 per-
cent of their budgets spent will be
reviewed again by SA’s Budget
Committee when it meets
sometime in March. “They will
probably penalize them,’’ said
Schwartzman.

Freezing the budgets of 50
groups, ‘‘cuts down on paper-
work, and increases communica-
tion between myself and the
groups,”’ added Schwartzman.

The Albany State University
Black Alliance (ASUBA) which
will hold ASUBAfest in the Spr-
ing, was recently unfrozen. ‘Eric
(Schwartzman jumped the gun a
little bit. He’s being cautious
because of the deficit. I guess he
had his reasons for doing what he
did,” said ASUBA President Vic-
tor Prince.

Schwartzman said, “We will
still be in deficit at the end of this
(fiscal) year. Hopefully, we will
keep it from growing any larger.””

SA President Steve Gawley
said, ‘‘Eric (Schwartzman) is just

were not frozen for serious infrac-

“‘a measure of control.’* Groups
“‘respond once they realize where
the’re having problems,”’ he said.

When asked how a freeze cold
affect a small group, Gawley said,
“J don’t perceive a budget freeze
as a penalization. It is not equal
to the closing down of a group.”

“SA was left with a $30,000
deficit last year,” he said. “‘We’re

ask any group to mmake a profit.
On the average we ask only half
of what we give them.” a

SUNYA upgrading computers

By Randi Holland

The installation of a new IBM
3080X mainframe computer,
which will be available for use by
some students and faculty
members during the Fall 1986
semester, will greatly improve
SUNYA’s computing facilities,
according to Lief Hartmark, Ac-
ting Director of the Computing
Center.

The University’s present main-
frame, the Sperry 1100-91, will
continue to be leased for the next
three years as the university
gradually converts information
from the Sperry to the IBM.

The IBM 3080X will allow the
SUNYA campus to transfer data
to and share software with the
SUNY Central Administration
building downtown and the three
other University Centers:
Binghamton, Stony Brook, and
Buffalo, said John Philippo,
coordinator of Computer Systems
Development for SUNY.

The installation of the IBM,
which took place on January 20,
1986, will cost an estimated $1.5
million dollars per year for the
next five years. This cost will
come out of a special allocation in
the SUNY budget for all the cam-
puses involved, according to
Hartmark. The Computing
Center presently provides approx-
imately $500,000 per year in com-
puting services to state agencies
and other public and non-profit
organizations in the Capital
District.

The new system will provide ac-
cess to up-to-date, user-friendly
software and will be more com-
patible with other computer
systems...on. campus, Hartmark
said.

The IBM 3080X can handle 6.5
million instructions per second
(MIPS) and can serve 200
simultaneous users. This figure is
expected to increase to 300 within
the next. year, according to
Hartmark,.

The addition of this mainframe
will benefit both administrative
and academic needs. The IBM
3080X will deal with budgets, ac-
counts, payroll, records, and per-
sonnel, said Hartmark.

He added that the IBM will
support specialized software and
will give SUNYA’s faculty the op-
portunity to do research with
other University Center facilities.

The computer systems on
SUNY campuses and those of
over 200. colleges across the
United States will be linked
together by BIDNET, an
academic computer network
which is designed primarily for
the exchange of information,
Philippo said.

BIDNET will allow students to
work together with other colleges,
both private, and public, and give
students access to the wide variety
of computers available at the
other schools.

“This university is not present-
ly a member of BIDNET, whereas
in order to become a member,
you [the University] must be using
a DEC system or an IBM system,
the latter providing access to
university faculty members,’’
Hartmark said.

Another change in the present
computer system is the replace-
ment of the DEC-20, the Com-
puting Center’s second largest
computer, with the VAX 8600,
which is also produced by Digital
Equipment Corporation (DEC).
., The DEC-20, according to
Hartmark, ‘“‘soon will be ob-
Solete. It has good compatibility

and is very flexible, but it also has
a limited capacity and you can’t
expend the number of users.””

“The VAX 8600 is made by the
same company, is a more state-of-
the-art computing system, has a
higher technology, enables the use
of the best hardware. and soft-
ware, and can provide students
and faculty with special programs
not ayailable with the DEC-20,”
he added.

According to Hartmark, there
are three main ways in which the
IBM 3080X will benefit the
students at SUNYA. The first is
that the new system will give the
University a more diverse com-
puting environment. This will
give the students a choice between
the use of the three different com-
puters § Sperry, IBM, and VAX.

In addition, this system will
benefit specialized majors, such
as Business, because many
businesses use either an IBM
system or one that is IBM-

compatible. By being exposed to
these systems beforehand,
students will have an advantage
when looking for jobs after
graduation.

The use of the IBM will also
enable the use of better software
for teaching and research, Hart-
mark said.

Another anticipated develop-
ment at SUNYA’s Computing
Center is the addition of a laser
printer. According to Hartmark,
the laser printer has a high speed,
high quality printing capability
which can print material on both
sides of a page in addition to
making the printout look more
professional.

The laser printer will also have
the capability of printing let-
terheads. It is a very
sophisticated, flexible printing
system which will be economical
and provide students with more
graphic capabilities, Hartmark
said. o

Plans for a new Chapel House and athletic
fieldhouse are currently being conceptualized as
SUNY Central is preparing the paperwork to
relocate Chapel House behind the infirmary and
situate the fieldhouse behind the university gym.

A mutual agreement between the university and
the Chapel House Board would allow for the
fieldhouse to be located near the gym and for the
new Chapel House to be placed nearer to the
podium, thus making it more accessable to
students.

However, a legal exchange of land between
SUNYA and the Chapel House Board, which
privately owns the land behind the gym, must take
place before the plans can become reality.

“We have not yet received a formal response
from SUNY [Central] on the land swap,”
SUNYA’s Vice President for University Affairs

ewis Welch said. There has been an indication that
the swap would require legislation by the New York
State Legislature.

Tom Winfield, Associate Counsel for SUNY
Central’s Legal Office, said the land swap would re-
quire legislation after the proposed exchange is ap-
proved by the SUNY Board of Trustees.

SUNY’s Office of Capital Facilities will evaluate
both parcels of land considered for the exchange
and present the details of the land exchange to the
Chapel House Board for approval, Winfield said.

The exchange would be based upon current
market price and not upon equal acreage, he said.

Although funds for the planning stage of the

* fieldhouse have been approved by the legislature,
those funds have yet to be received by the universi-
ty, although they may be released at any time.

Much thought has been put into the proposed
fieldhouse, Welch said, but, “‘in a formal sense,
planning hasn’t started.’’ Most of the preparatory
planning has been going on for years, he added.

The new fieldhouse will cost approximately $12
million, with the planning costs estimated to run
$1.2 million. The fieldhouse is designed to ac-
comodate an expanding physical education pro-
gram and will not be suitable for large spectator
sports, Welch said.

New Chapel Houseinplanningstage ~

Chapel House Board’s planning committee has
met during’the fall semester to assess future space
requirements and to propose features that can be
integrated into its new interfaith building, said Rev.
Gary Kriss, President of Chapel House’s Governing
Board.

The committee’s plan included separate Jewish
and Christian service areas, a community meeting
area, a multi-function room, both kosher and non-
Kosher kitchens, chaplain’s offices, counseling
areas, and library lounges, said Robert Ganz, chair
of the planning committee.

According to Ganz, the planning committee was
assembled in the fall and consists of students, facul-
ty, administrators, alumnus, and staff of the
university.

According to Kriss, “‘the relocation [of Chapel
House] is in the hands of the SUNY lawyers who
are working out the details of the land exchange.
The board is currently waiting for a formal pro-
posal on the land swap from the university.”’

The Chapel House Board has hired the firm of
Mendel, Mesick, Cohen, Waite, and Hall to draft
the architectual drawings of the new buildings,
Kriss said. Ben Mendel, who designed the restora-
tion of the State Senate chamber, will be the chief
architect, Kriss said

Mendel-is currently working with the planning
committee to organize the allocation of space in the
new building, Kriss said. The building is estimated
to cost $400,000 and funds will be raised with the
assistance of the firm of Button and Button.

The university cannot directly or indirectly assist
Chapel House in its attempt to raise funds for the
new building, Welch said, mainly citing the idea of
separation of church and state. Chapel House
would not be granted access to alumni records,
following standard university policy, Welch said.

Groundbreaking for Chapel House is tentatively
scheduled for Fall 1986, Kriss said, and the con-
struction of the building might be completed by mid
1987.

“A subgroup of the planning committee is
meeting with the architects to make sure that we
don’t have a plan that’s not do-able,’’ Ganz said.

Because of economic constraints, the planning

Oliver said.

In California and ‘New Jersey,

Students under 21 may be spen-
ding more time in local bars if
current experiments with non-
alcoholic promotions prove
successful.

In response to the increased
drinking age, Cahoots held a
“Club Soda’”’ night on Monday in
which underage patrons could
eat, dance, and drink non-
alcoholic beverages.

The management at Cahoots is
putting off future non-alcohlic
promotions until it can guage the
success of last nights party, accor-
ding to Promotions Director Bill
Coulter.

Kathy Amster Social Director
of the Sigma Delta Tau sorority
which co-sponsered the ‘Club

the lax enforcement of the drink-
ing age at local bars will make
successful non-alcoholic pro-
grams impossible.

“As of right now it looks like it
will be most attractive to the
freshmen, who are still having
trouble getting into bars, whereas
it should have been more attrac-
tive to the freshmen, sophomores,
and juniors,’’ she said.

Amster said that if the ‘Club
Soda’’ night at Cahoots was un-
successful the sorority would go
back to sponsoring regular
alcoholic parties, which have been
successful in the past.

proofing policies. ‘I’m twenty
and to my knowledge there are
not many places I could go and
not get proofed,” she said,

Ginzburg said that SA is com-
mitted to providing non-alcoholic
planned programming
throughout the semester. Events
include Casino Night in the Cam-
pus Center Ballroom scheduled
for Feb. 21.

Washington Tavern owner
Mike Byron said that he is also
planning promotions for
underage patrons, and will be
testing the success of a wristband

Feb. 5.

“If it works well and we can
control it, it’s possible we can go
into it in a more elaborate
fashion,” said Byron.

Byron said he is worried about
lax proofing at local bars. “‘Some
of the bars are not checking,
which makes unfair competition
not only for the bars but for non-
alcoholic programming as well.’’

He added that W.T.’s checks
L.D.’s “very stringently.’”

At Cahoots, Coulter said, “We
have a very strict carding policy
and do not allow anyone without

However, he added that “as

we let them in the club. I knew
some of the people in here Friday
night were nineteen, but we
double-card at the door.””

Lamp Post owner Roger Martel
said his bar’s first non-alcoholic
night will be held this Thursday in
the L.P.’s dance club. “If we feel
that it’s a takeoff we’re definitely
going to keep it going on Thurs-

Bar owner implements radical policy

Gates, N.Y.
(AP) Sam Platania ripped out the solid oak bar
at his recently reopened restaurant and put a note
on his menus warning patrons of a three-drink
limit.

And when the customers’ clamor for alcohol
their servers politely urge them to get something
to eat as well.

“If you’re going to come here for five martinis
and a sandwich, we don’t want you,’’ Platania
said Friday at his suburban Rochester restaurant
called Tony Rigatoni’s.

That’s a new approach for Platania, who
started in the restaurant and tavern business 12
years ago with a place that had a short menu and
a long list of drinks.

And with the state’s stricter drunken-driving
laws, higher drinking age and growing concern
over “‘ dram shop ”’ lawsuits, Platania thinks he
may be onto something.

“It’s just a threat I don’t want to live with
anymore,”’ Platania said. ‘‘And I agree that

over-drinking is a problem.”*

a picture I.D. and double I.D.”’

Martel added. Oo

Platania faces a “dram shop” suit stemming
from a fatal stabbing two years ago at his
restuarant, then called Asti’s.

The ‘‘dram shop’’ act says that anyone con-
nected with the sale or service of alcoholic
beverages can be held liable when the sale causes
or contributes to intoxication that results in in-
jury to a third party.

But Platania said that it wasn’t the lawsuit that
prompted the idea, but instead his frustration
with the hassles involoved in serving drinks. He
said he has wanted to try the idea for years.

Platania said his fellow restaurateurs aren’t as
enthusiastic. “‘They all think I’m nuts,”’ he said.

Reducing the threat of another lawsuit isn’t the
only advantage to cutting back on the booze he
serves. For example, taking out the bar gave him
enough space to increase the number of tables
from 16 to 26. He enjoys the family trade the new
restaurant is beginning to draw.

“I'd rather have screaming babies than
screaming drunks,”* he said.

Krudener said that Maglione is “‘very qualified
for the position because’ of her experience in
otherareas of the school and her familiarity with

Bugs Bunny goes co-ed

According to advertisers, the collegiate market
is often hard to reach because college students
don’t watch television. But according to Albert
C. Smith, a business professor at Radford
University, students do watch television — on
Saturday mornings.

“Prime time hours are spent dating, at club
meetings, intramurals or sporting events,’’ said
Smith, who did a survey on the television habits
of college students. 82 percent of the students
surveyed said they waich Saturday morning
cartoons.

“The study was not dealing with the fact that
students watch cartoons,”? Smith said, ‘‘but to
stress that the morning hours, Saturdays in par-
ticular, are the advertisers’ chance to appeal to
the college audience.’”

Bugs Bunny-and other ‘‘classic’’ cartoons are
heavily. favored over today’s newer, “‘high-tech’’
cartoons, said Smith.

Daltrey sets UCB back

University Concert Board (UCB) was able to
fill only about half of the Palace Theatre for
Roger Daltrey’s December 12 concert, and is now
facing a monetary setback as a consequence.

According to Mark Seligson, president of
UCB, ‘‘the impact of the concert was the loss of
a large part of the UCB budget.”’

UCB put in a competing bid of $40,000 “‘in
order to attract Daltrey to the area,” said
Seligson. ‘‘As financially it was difficult to at-
tract Daltrey. Although monetary implications
were discussed, all of the members of concert
board felt the show would sell out or come close
to selling out,’’ he said.

Tickets were sold for $17 and total ticket sales
were $25,500. Seligson attributed the lower than
expected turnout to poor timing, saying that final
exams and tha approaching holidays had a
definite negative effect on ticket sales.

“Because we are left with less money to do a
show we have to make a profit from some smaller
shows,’’ said Seligson. ‘‘UCB is also considering
co-promoting concerts with local promoters.’’

indham Hill, the eclectic Bay Area
recording label, is again satiating
our listening pleasures with a series

of new albums released to coincide with
the coming of the cold.

Michael Fiedler

Heading the list is A Winter's Solstice,
featuring prominent Windham Hill artists
such as founder William, Ackerman and
pianist extraodinaire Liz Story, it couldn't
have arrived at a better time. This album is
comprised of tunes ranging from guitarist
Ackerman’s subdued “New England Morn-
ing” to Darol Anger and Mike Marshall's
arrangement of a Bach Boures. And in bet-
ween is some of the finest new material
we've heard yet.

Russell Walder and Ira Stein, after their
critically acclaimed Elements album,
highlight side one with their latest com-
position, “Engravings I.” Pianist Stein
coupled with the sound of churchbells in
the background, and the somber tones of
Walder’s oboe, delightfully rings in the
season. The melody conjures up images of
a small wintry New Hampshire parish pa-
tiently waiting for the coming of another
holiday. It effectively paints a picture of
undaunted serenity through the brilliant
compositional effort of Ira Stein.

Philip Aaberg’s entry, “High Plains”
(Christmas on the High-line), bearing a
very strong resemblance to “My Country
Tis of Thee,” and Liz Story’s arrangement
of “Greensleaves,” treat us to the majestical
sounds of their respective piano virtuosity.

The Mammoth Hunters, the third novel
in Jean M. Auel’s Earth’s Children series, is
a continuation of a Stone Age soap opera.
Ayla is a Cro-Magnon woman raised by
the Clan, a tribe of Neanderthals. To the
Clan she is of the “Others.”

novel of the series, Ayla is eventually exil-

Others featured are guitarist David
Qualey’s adaptation of “Jesu, Joy of Man’s
Desiring,” Malcolm Dalglish’s “Northum-
brian Lullabye” and from the album Water-
course Way, Shadowfax’s orchestral
“Petite Aubade.” Collectively, this is a fine
release that aficianados of Windam Hill
have grown to demand, and will enamor

newcomers. Its thoughtfulness and preci-
sion inspire multiple listenings to fully ap-
preciate the craftmanship involved.

In the continuing effort to limit the col-
lections of recordings and yet expose
deserving new talent: Windham Hill has
put forth a Piano Sampler. Similar recor-
dings are general Windham Hill Samplers
from 1981-1985 plus other piano and
guitar compilations. This provides a
number of musicians a chance to record on
this selective label.

This superbly recorded and produced
album begins with a sprightly run by
Oregon native Michael Harrison. Peggy
Stern, demonstrating her musical flexibility
an “Amy's Song,” showcases her classical
intonations, even though she has been
most successful touring with the jazz greats
such as Bud Shank and Eddie Henderson.
Ms. Stern also adds R and B and Latin
Music to her vast repetoire.

Richard Dworsky's composition, “A
Morning with the Roses,” depicts images
from this aptly named title. The fresh
bouncy piano licks, carefully wedged bet-
ween melodic runs will undoubtedly help
to thrust Mr. Dworsky into subsequent
Windham Hill recordings.

ed by the Clan. She meets and falls in love
with Jondolar, a man of the Others, in The
Valley of Horses. They winter with the
Mamutoi tribe in The Mammoth Hunters.
For the first time, Ayla is recognized as a
beautiful woman with valuable skills.

When Ayla responds with the sub-
missive compliance of a Clan woman to
Ranec's invitation to “share his furs,” Jon-
dolar feels betrayed and jealous. Ayla
doesn’t understand his sudden coldness and
avoidance of her. And in every chapter, it
seems, the author recounts in repetative
detail the painful development of a lover's
rift.

The plot stagnates around a lack of com-
munication, and the excitement of
suspense is lost. The impatient reader may
even succumb to the temptation to skip
passages that promise to be repeated
lamentations of Jondolar’s pain and Ayla’s
confusion. “Awel’ drags. out their
misunderstanding until the resolution can
never justify the effort of reaching it.

For those with an interest in the making
of Stone Age tools and caves, The Mam-
moth Hunters may have an added an-
thropological appeal; for those who aren’t
it has an added tedium. The technical detail
is interesting, but not for three or four con-
secutive pages.

But, who can blame Jean M. Auel if her
third novel is not as action packed as the
first two? What else can happen in a
prehistoric fiction book? Ayla has already
discovered how to make a fire with flint,
tamed and ridden a wild horse,
domesticated a cave lion, and perfected the
skill of hunting with a sling.

But just as the devoted General Hospital
fan won't turn off the TV set when a dead
body lies undiscovered for months while
several people linger endlessly on the brink
of death and nobody is quite sure who the
father of the new baby is, the Earth’s
Children reader will enjoy The Mammoth
Hunters for the sake of following the plot,
however tedious it may have become. O

WI promising musicians making their
Windham Hill debut include Paul
Dondero, Allaudin Mathieu, Rich Peller,
Tim Story, and Parisian Cyrille Verdeaux.
Given the aforementioned theory behind
this type of release, the possibility of
monotony could be a potential problem.
However, through the careful selection
process headed by Mr. Ackerman, this
possible pitfall has been avoided.

Phillip Aaberg, the latest addition to
Windham Hill's elite roster of pianists with
his release of High Plains, brings along
with him a cache of credentials. He gave
his first concert at age seven, and by 14 he
was playing in rock and roll bands.
Through high school, Aaberg’s concentra-
- tion was on classical music as evidenced by
his bi-monthly journey from his home on
Montana to Spokane, Washington in order
to study.

After earning his B.A. in Music at Har-
vard, Aaberg engaged in a variety of styles
including rock, country, folk and New
Orleans Jazz. Upon graduating he was in-
vited to the prestigious Marlboro Music
Festival and played under classical greats
Rudolph Serkin and Pablo Casals. After ex-
tensive training with a Beethoven
specialist, Aaberg shifted gears and joined
Elvin Bishop’s pop band. Six years later he
left to pursue other interests including tour-
ing and recording with the likes of Peter
Gabriel, Juice Newton, and John Hiatt.
Because of these deep and varied roots in
jazz, rock, and clasical genres, his style is
very unique in form and texture.

High Plains, which also features cuts on
Winter's Solstice and the Piano Sampler,
provides us with vivid image producing
nocturnes. These fit into the distinct and
yet undefined sound that makes Windham

with rich piano runs and layered notes sets
the tones for the rest of the album. “West-

sidiary labels. With musicians such.as Steps
Ahead saxophonist Michaek Brecker and
drummer Peter Erskine, and David Letter-
man band members of yesterday and to-
day (Hiram Bullock, Steve Jordan, and Will
Lee), it isn’t surprising that this album is by
far the most mainstreal jazz.

“Pointing at the Moon,” exhibiting the
wailing sax of Brecker, quickly sets the
tempo. ‘Deliberate interplay between
Grolnick and Brecker dominates in “More
Pointing’ and “Pools.” The title of the
album states... “featuring Michael
Brecker” and after a few listenings this ap-
pears to be an understatement. Brecker's
stylish playing nicely complements
Grolnick.

“The Four Sleepers” opens the second

insightful jazz keyboards. On. “Human
Bites,” Hiram Bullock's frenetic guitar

surrealistic quality of the play. When Em-
mett unmasks the characters in the conclu-
sion of the first act, another equally distur-
bing mask is revealed. It is not until the se-
cond act that their true faces are visible.

Dale F. Jordan’s set design is particularly
effective. An old cotton mill is the
backdrop of the: set, which Emmett also
chooses as the setting for his movie version
of his death. By reenacting the murder
under the movie title How I spent My
Summer Vacation, Emmett hopes to
resolve the injustice that he has suffered.
He tells the other characters that he’s mak-
ing the movie so he doesn’t have to dream
it anymore, and he insists, “I gotta do it
tight this time.”

‘As his rehearsal progresses, Emmett
. discovers that he cannot control the’actions
of his characters. He mutters, “Wrong.
Something's wrong.” The attempt to
recreate reality is out of his control, just as
the: situation was out of his control 30

Wright for him. “Has to be. Has to be.”

Steven Wright, who brings his off-beat,
deadpan brand of humor into the Palace
Theater tomorrow night, doesn’t derive his
innovative comedy from hallucinatory in-
spiration, which is why Mr. Wright is so ef-
fective and why he is going to be a big star.
He looks at things, quite innocently, from
an angle the rest of us would need, or use,
drugs to match. A “shell-shocked” Wright
tosses light into the cracks of everyday life
and carries the insignificant, backwater ab-
surdities of our culture to their not-so-
logical conclusions:

Steven Wright's approach is un-usual,
very nearly to the point of being an Anti-
Comic. He appears on stage confused,
unenthusiastic; his delivery is pained. He
doesn’t smile. He is the opposite of “usual”
comedy, which means, unfortunately for
“usual” comedy, he is very, very funny.

A little funny busines

Murphy's fumbling but likeable

sidekick in Beverly Hills Cop, has
returned to the big screen with a feature all
his own. It’s called Head Office, and the
fact that it’s a mediocre film isn’t Reinhold’s
fault at all.

J udge Reinhold, best known as Eddie

1- John Keenan

SUNYA business majors will find
several reasons to either love or hate Head
Office, depending on how tired they are of
hearing business major jokes; and to the
rest of the University community, already
trained from freshmanhood, the movie
may as well be a suiteroom bull-session,
complete with women’s rights, ecological
concerns, ruminations on the lifestyles of
the rich and famous, and the occasional dir-
ty joke or two.

Reinhold, whose fumbling innocence so
perfectly complimented Murphy's street-
smart cop in Beverly Hills Cop, is again
charmingly appealing as Jack Issel, the

unambitious son of a prominent senator _

who has been hired at INC International in
an attempt tp secure his father’s goodwill.
Reinhold’s open features seem. to lend
themselves to roles of perpetual befuddle-
ment, but for Head Office his persona
works well.

Quick cameo's by Danny DeVito and
Rick Moranis, as well as a low-key por-
trayal of a chauffeur by Don Novello,
comprise the funniest acting in the movie.
Unfortunately, Moranis and DeVito are
quickly removed from, the scene, and
Novello, isn't given much’ to do. The
burden of carrying the movie then falls to
Reinhold, who soldiers through admirably.

The plot, though somewhat tangled, is
easy enough to follow, chronicling Jack's
rise up through the ranks of INC (“I haven't
done anything. Why do .they keep pro-
moting me?” he complains) and his pursuit
of the Chairman of. the Board's renegade

Joseph C. Phillips as Emmett tries to recreate the past in Dreaming Emmett.

however, the author apparently loses con-
fidence in the clarity of her message and
relies too heavily on dialogue. The play
becomes somewhat didactic as Tamara,
who has entered the play from the au-
dience, preaches not only about Black

daughter, portrayed by Lori-Nan Engler.
The climax, such as it is, occurs when Jack
discovers a plot by INC executives to
finance a revolution, so as to have a friend-
ly nation where they can build factories. If
this sounds a little stupid, it is, but en*
joyable characters carry the day.

Jane Seymour has the dubious distine-
tion of portraying one of the most unap-
pealing characters to hit the screen all year.
As Jane Caldwell, an INC executive fuck-
ing her way to the top, Seymour is the
most irritating, cheapest joke in the film,
and the gag is repeated ad nauseum. One
can only hope Seymour was struggling for
rent money when she took this role.

Engler’s portrayal of Rachael, the

rights, but about women’s rights as well.

‘Although an important problem, the
women’s rights issue seems forced, creating
an overall effect of talkiness and stagnated
action.

Director Gilbert Moses, who received an
Emmy nomination for his work on the
television version of Roots, has staged the
world premiere of Dreaming Emmett ef-
fectively and imaginatively. His creativity
is bolstered by an excellent cast of
characters, most notably Joseph C: Phillips
as Emmett. All supporting roles are very
well played, including the calm and
touching portrayal of Emmett’s mother by
Beatrice Winde.

The surprising conclusion of Dreaming
Emmett universalizes the tragedy of the
young teenager's death. The awkwardness
of the second act may be overlooked, due
to the poignance of the play's resolution. 0

Lorraine Toussaint as Tamara.

Ss

her character is a little too ambiguous for
the good of the film. Rachael is out pro-
testing INC’s policies, but she manages to
meet up with Jack at her father’s home as
she’s just about to move out. This unnec-
cessary meeting lends to Rachael an aura of
the “poor little rich girl” that diminishes the
effect of her character.

Head Office is a fun film, but it isn’t
something you should bring your mind to.
The improbabilities and inconsistencies in
the plot abound. However, though it is a
frenetic and occasionally annoying film,
Reinhold and Engler manage to swing it,
making Head Office an appealing, though
uneven, comedy. Oo

Between the lines

If someone were-to write a N.Y. State
politician’s guide to pleasing SUNY students, rule
number one would be simple: do anything you
want to the quality of their education, just don’t
raise their tuition.

Governor Mario Cuomo could be the author of
that book, judging from his recently proposed
state budget. For the third straight year, Cuomo
has avoided a tuition hike and the mass protests
that go along with it. He apparently is not anxious
to repeat the mistake he made in his first year in
office, when he raised tuition fees $300 per year,
and was faced with harsh criticism and protest
from students.

Instead, Cuomo has directed his attacks on the
quality of a SUNY education, something that’s
not conspicious enough to arouse the passions of
most SUNY students.

Cuomo wants the SUNY system to absorb the
loss of 177 faculty members and 51 academic
~|support staff personnel. This hardly preserves
New York State’s enviable record in support of
higher education, a budgetary claim that’s not
reflected in the actual budget.

The most damaging blow to SUNY students is
masked in something called ‘forced payroll
savings.’ This assumes that there will be a certain
number of faculty and staff vacancies throughout
the year. The money saved would go back to the
state.

Last year, the faculty savings equalled one-half
percent of the payroll and the staff savings was at
two percent. This year, Cuomo proposes to
double the faculty savings and raise the staff
savings to’ three and one-half percent of its
payroll. In order to meet this figure, Student
Association of the State University (SASU)
leaders claim that 50 more faculty positions will
be lost, and a 550 support staff members will also
have to go.

Cuomo justifies this reduction in staff by
pointing to last year’s reduced enrollment,
SUNY’s first in recent years. But over the
preceeding few years when enrollment had gone
up, the number of academic positions still went
down. Cuomo’s logic seems to fit only when it
suits him.

But that alone is material enough for another
book. *

Good neighbors

The relationship between SUNYA students and
the City of Albany is based on a simple fact: the
City rules.
That premise has made some campus
organizations very conscious of the role students
have in the community. Students have started to
become active community members; they vote in
local elections, support businesses and participate
in clean-up projects. This enhances the students’
image and in turn, gets the City off their backs.

But with the recent preliminary injunction
granted against the Grouper law, some students
may shortsightedly decide that maintaining good
relations with Albany’s residents is no longer
important. =

In theory, being an active community member
is the proper thing for any respectable citizen to
do. In practice, being a good neighbor has more
concrete advantages — help when you need it the
most, when your car is stuck in the snow, for
example.

Eyen if the Grouper law is eventually ruled
unconstitutional, students should continue to
make strides toward a better City-student
relationship. Students should also keep in mind
that despite the likelihood of success of repealing
the Grouper law, nothing is guaranteed when it’
comes to court cases

A planned deception

Silent Scream, the well-known film created by anti-
abortionists, is being shown by Young Americans for
Freedom (YAF), a conservative group, this Tuesday. The
notoreity of Silent Scream can be attributed to its pro-
pagandist, very biased nature. The scientific validity of
the film is highly questionable due to scenes, which, ac-
cording to expert physicians, are manipulations of truth.

Wendy Cervi

One such example is the depiction of a fetus experienc-
ing pain during the abortion procedure when in actuality
the nervous system of a fetus is not capable of supporting
such an impulse.

According to Dr. Pasko Rakic, professor of neurology
at Yale University Medical School and an expert on fetal
development, at 12 weeks the fetus’ nervous systems lacks
synapses that would transmit neurological impulses and
therefore cannot experience pain. Y

The American College of Obstetricians ‘and
Gynecologists also points out that a fetus cannot feel pain
during the first 12 weeks, the period during which over 90
percent of all abortions are performed.

However, the makers of Silent Scream attempt to pre-
sent fetuses experiencing pain by changing the speed of
the film from slow to fast to emphasize movement during
the abortion which make it seem likely that pain is being
inflicted.

Experts are highly critical of the representation of fetal
movement. Dr. John Hobbins of Yale University Medical
School comments, ‘‘There is no evidence that a fetus is
capable of purposeful movement..the cortex, which
perceives pain, is not functioning.”’

Dr. Fay Redwine of the University of Virginia points
out that one can “‘see the same image in any fetus, even if
there were no abortion. What (you) are viewing is natural
movement.’”

Obviously, the filmmakers were not concerned with
unveiling truth but rather with manipulating human emo-
tional tendencies. It is important for the viewers of this
film to realize that its creators’ concern rests in the desire
to persuade the public to join them in supporting the
harmful, unfounded conclusion that abortion should not
be included amongst the rights of all women.

It does not seem likely that the resoltion of the abortion
issue will be arrived at in the near future. Both pro-choice
and anti-abortion activists have argued effectively and
succeeded in recruiting people to their respective sides.

THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON

However, certain aspects of the abortion issue never ex-
haust their relevance.

Many members of anti-abortion organizations profess
that abortion could be justified in cases of rape and in-
cest. The remaining question is how would such a system
be enforced? Is it conceivable that women would be plac-
ed before a committee that would then decide whether or
not they have the right to obtain an abortion? This seems
absurd, especially since only an estimated 10 percent of
Tapes are reported to the police and only 10 percent of
these result in convictions.

Another argument pursued by anti-abortionists is that
abortion has become ‘“‘just another method of birth con-
trol.”’ Such an assertion serves to create images of women
who despite infallible methods of birth control, choose
abortion because of its convenience. The delusion of this
claim rests in the fact that women do not use abortion as
an alternative to birth control. Abortion is a potentially
painful and traumatic experience, one that’ a woman
would not seek out unless absolutely necessary.

Before the Roe vs Wade decision in 1973,,countless
women risked their lives obtaining illegal, and sometimes
very unsanitary, abortions. If abortion is ruled illegal, as
anti-abortionists are trying to do, then poor women will,
once again be forced to risk their lives to obtain abortions
while upper-class women, the vast minority of women,
will be forced to go to another country to seek abortions.

Films such as Silent Scream do not address aspects of
abortion that affect women’s lives. Rather, they hide
behind them, blaming women for having abortions. This
is not a society where birth control is widely available at
very low cost to anyone seeking it. The Reagan ad-
ministration, is trying to stop legal abortions, also, they
have tried to institute the squeal rule which would make it
very difficult for adolescents to obtain birth control.
Moreover, education about birth control is sparce, to say
the least. z a

To place potential life above, more important, actual
life, of the woman does not seem to be pro-life. The real
issue of abortion is safety for women, not manipulating
fears about abortion as being a ‘‘ holocaust,” as anti-
abortionists assert abortion is. The only ‘‘holocaust’’ that
is possible is women dying from hemorrhaging and other
complications caused by unsanitary ‘‘back-alley’’ abor-
tions. The possibility of history repeating itself in respect
to this sitution is indeed alarming.

Practical jokes of the wild

“Don't be ‘traid, Dug. Me teach him sit
‘on finger. ...: Closer, Dug, closer.”

Coach Bob Ford:
Emperor of the
Purple Kingdom ‘

By Marc Berman

Bob Ford likes to talk and he's good at it.
He also likes to win and he’s good at that
too.

In its 16-year history, with Ford at the
controls for the duration, the Albany State
football team has compiled the highest
winning percentage of any Division III
school in the country.

He was there from the birth stages in
1970, when the Danes wore the ignomious
tag of club. Now, 16 years later, the Danes
play perhaps the roughest schedule for a
Division III team and Ford is still dressing
in purple attire during the fall.

This season, the Danes posted a 9-2
record, but were snubbed from an NCAA
berth by the members of the NCAA
committee.

Instead of crying on their purple jerseys,
the Danes trekked to New Hampshire and
captured the ECAC North Championship
Game by whipping Plymouth State, the
school where Sports Illustrated cover-boy
Joe Dudek starts at running back.

As mentioned earlier, Ford is not shy
when it comes to utilizing the spoken
word. He filled up 58 minutes of cassette
tape, but because of space limitations, the
interview below had to be shortened a tad.

ASP: What does it mean to ‘Bleed Purple’ and what
is the defintion of the ‘Purple Kingdom?’

Ford: I guess those are two phrases that have been
formalized here over the years, in football
specifically, but,I am sure it refers to all of our
sports. I think in order to be successful in a team
venture, you must have total loyalty to the program
in which you're playing. We use the phrase: ‘You
must bleed purple.’ The average freshman that
comes in still has allegiances to Walt Whitman High
School, Sachem High School and Shenendehowa
High School. Albany doesn’t mean anything to him
or her. It only occurs after a period of time that an
allegiance starts developing between coaches and
athletes, a certain amount of loyalty develops toward
the program, as well as a certain amount of
responsibility toward, in our case, the 119 athletes in
the program and the 16 coaches working with it.
Plus all of the people who have played for us in the
past. You start getting that feeling of pride and
heritage. When that happens, you start bleeding
purple.

Getting to the Purple Kingdom. We've been
exceptionally proud of what we've accomplished in
football and | think each one of the other coaches
are exceptionally proud of what they have
accomplished in basketball, in track and in wrestling.
But you make an effort to establish yourself with a
rich heritage. Our heritage in football is an extremely
short one; it's 16 years old. Yet our won and loss
percentage, historically, is the best won and loss
percentage for Division III teams in the nation. That
I guess creates a feeling of a kingdom. Well, what

hae

the hell is a kingdom? Well, I guess another word for
it is dynasty. We haven't accomplished everything
we wanted, but I guess we have created some form
of Purple Kingdom. And when I say we, | feel it's a
family affair. Each Sunday when the N.Y Times
comes out or the Worcester Telegram or the
Baltimore Sun, I know that the people who played
here will first pick the sports section up, go to the
college scores and look in the upper left hand
column to see if we've won. I guess that's somewhat
the history of those two phrases and sort of what
they mean.

ASP; If you talk to Division III coaches around the
country, they will tell you that Bob Ford is one of
the best Division III coaches in the country. Do you
agree with that assessment?

Ford: It’s kind of hard what determine what makes
a good coach. I was once at a clinic with a guy
named Ben Schwartzwalder, who at that time was
the head coach of football at Syracuse naivety:
There was a panel at the end and someone said:
‘Ben, what's your definition of a good football coach.
And he said, someone who's still coaching. I guess
there is some truth in that because you get driven
out of this business very quickly if you're not
somewhat competitve. I guess if someone said, ‘Do
you have‘any secrets?,’ one of the things that I've
been able to do is surround myself with good
people. The second thing is that I listen to them. I
don't know if that's the sign of a good coach, but 1
guess that's the sign of someone who may have
some success in any endeavor. I don't mean to be
overly humble about it. In the process, I've worked

COURTESY OF THE TROY TIMES-RECORD

very hard. But so has everbody else.
ASP: After close to 20 years of coaching on the
Division Ill level, have you ever been tempted to try
the Division I or II waters?
Ford: I guess it has run through my mind, but it's
never been a burning desire. That has never been a
goal of mine. I've never said, ‘gee, someday I want
to be head coach at Penn State or Alabama.’ The
average person thinks bigger is better. I've never
really adhered to that theory. I'm reminded of when »
my daughter was in the third grade and I went in
for a school visit and there was a hand painting on
the wall. There were four cows at four comers of
four separate pastures. Each cow had his head
through the fence of the other guy's pasture, nibbling
the grass on the other side. The morale I guess is the
grass is always greener on the other side of the
fence. And I think that's true of cows and it’s also
true of human beings. I've enjoyed my tenure at
Albany State very, very much. I've been exposed to
some phenomenal human beings. We've had 40 of
our coaches coaching in college football. Tony Weiss
is the offfensive line coach of Miami. Dave Campo is
defensive secondary coach at Syracuse: When those
guys have come back, I've asked them: ‘what's the
difference between Miami and Notre Dame and
Albany and Ithaca.’ Basically all of them has said the
same thing. Once the game ed there is no
difference at all. The Ithaca and Albany kids go
after each other with the same intensity, the same
desire to win and excel. The differences are in the
trappings and the surroundings. Each coach has a car

to go on the road recruiting. You have
unlimited phone expenses, unlimited
budget expenses and you're dealing with
a little superior type athlete. But I guess if
you evaluating what I'm doing in this
business, am I in here to make a lot of
money? No, that isn't'a prime thrust. I
don't want to starve to death and I'm not
foolish enough to say that money isn’t
important to my family and future. But
the other reason I'm in it is because I'm
cocky enough to think that I have an
impact upon young people's lives at a
very formative age. I guess you can have
that at Albany as well as you can have it
at Syracuse or Miami. I guess you can say
I'm not looking. That doesn’t mean I'd
turn my back on something if it looked
like it was a better situation for my family
and for myself. I'm not actively looking to
leave Albany. I enjoy it very much here.

ASP: This past season, many people felt
the Danes rightfully deserved to make the
playoffs over Western Connecticut and
Montdair State. The results of the
playoffs bore that fact out. Montclair
blanked Wester Connecticut and Ithaca
whipped Montclair. Meanwhile, the
Danes beat Ithaca in 1984 and lost by five
points this year. Do you think the playoff
results proved that the NCAA Committee
had made a mistake?

Ford: I think in some people's minds, the
best teams didn't go. In my opinion, we
were a national-champion-caliber team. I
dont't know whether we would've. won
it. We were totally healthy at the end of-
the season. We were getting stronger
with eachpassing week. The selection
committee is faced with a tough, tough
decision. Who's to go? The easiest thing
to do is base it on record. I think if we
were tied with any of those teams, the
strength of our schedule might have
gotten us through. The thing that we have
to bear in mind though is, though we lost
to Ithaca by five points, our second loss
didn't come against a Division II school or
at the hands of a great Division III power.
It came at the hands of Cortland, which
was an average college football team. I
would have to say that’s what hurt us and
hurt us badly.

ASP: The Danes were selected to the
ECACs and opposed Plymouth State, a
squad that boasts running back Joe
Dudek, who was on the cover of Sports
Illustrated. The’ headlined story read:

COURTESY OF THE TIMES-UNION

“TI guess if a young
woman came out and
she was 110 pounds
and not very strong,
and we put her in a
one on one with Scott
Dmitrenko and she
got hurt, a good
lawyer would prove
that I was negligent.’’

— Bob Ford

“What the heck, give the Heisman to
Dudek.’ What did you think of SI's idea
to select a Division II player for the
Heisman.

Ford: Originally, when I saw the title, 1
thought this was going to be a tongue in
cheek sort of thing. After reading the
article it wasn't a tongue in cheek at all.
The article was saying that maybe it
should be given to the person who excels
tremendously on the level of competiton
they're playing on. On his level of
competion, Dudek had completely
dominated far more so than (Chuck) Long
had at Iowa or Bo Jackson had at Auburn.
ASP: You've seen films on Dudek and
you saw him trample over your defense
for 250 yards. Do you think he has a
chance for the USFL or NFL?

Ford: Yes, I would say he does. He's got
some height, he’s got some size in terms
of weight and he’s got some speed. The
big questions will be how he will hold up
to the type of pounding, for example in
our ballgame. Can he hold up to that
week after week. I also think he’s been

COURTESY OF THE TIMES-UNION

deprived of a little bit of coaching. I don't
mean that as a crack against the Plymouth
State staff. 1 just feel at Miami or Pitt or
Nebraska, he would have received a
backfield coach who works soley with
running back technique. But he certainly
is a candidate.

ASP: The Albany State football team
seemed to have played second fiddle to
Union in the local media all season even
though the Danes were in the thick of the
playoff hunt. After the season, Al Vieira,
the Executive Sports Editor of the Times
Union, wrote a column that was hardly
flattering to the Albany State football
team, while at the same time, shined a
favorable light upon the Union football
program. Were you bothered by the
special treatment afforded to Union and
were you hurt by Vieira's column?
Ford: We would always like to be the top
dog in the fight. The thing that pushed
Union was success over the last two
years, They continued to win, went
undefeated and did nothing to blemish
their getting off the front page of the
sports section. But I wish they could have
cofeatured the two instead of having
Ithaca on the front page and us on page
eight. With Al Vieira’s article, we haven't
been exposed to that kind of journalism
in the Capital District. I don’t know
whether it comes under the tell-itlike-it-is
type stuff, but we haven't seen much of
that. Therefore, it came as a shock. I don't
think any of us were downplaying
Union's accomplishments. 1 think they
had a great football team and I think that
was borne out by losing in a very close
game to Ithaca. The only thing our
supporters were saying was Albany's a
good football team to.

ASP: Recently, you attended. the NCAA
meetings in New Orleans and it seemed
the association took a tougher stand on
drugs. What is your view on that issue?
Ford: Our rule on our football team is if
you get involved in any type of drugs,
you're automatically suspended from the
football team. You're after an entirely
different life than we can offer here at the
Purple Kingdom and we don’t want you
associated with the program.

ASP; Illegal payments to athletes is a
widespread problem in major
institutions. Boosters reportedly slip
20-dollar bills to players in the locker
room and alumni reportedly buy cars for
the players. It brings up a much-debated
question. Should collegiate athletes be
paid to play? i

Ford: I guess my feeling at the present
time is no they should not. They receive a
college education which is worth
thousands of dollars. That is their

payment. Some coaches say, what about
spending money? I think if they would be
totally honest and up front with the
athletes and let them have the summer
off, they could work during the summer
vacation. The problem is the coaches
want to make their sports a 12-month
season. Therefore the kid can't work
summers.

ASP; Recruiting at Albany State is a
difficult assignment because of the
school’s ‘strict admissions policy.
However, there are ways of getting a kid,
who doesn’t meet academic standards,
into the school through a program called
the Special Talent Program. Do you think
it's fair to admit a student into Albany
State with an 80 high school average
because he’s a quick offensive lineman?
Ford: Well, if it was just because he was a
quick offensive lineman I would say no.
However, the Special Talent program
caters to 29 different areas. If a person
had an 80-average a perfect 800 on his
college math SAT score, and a 300 on the
verbal, he might be the greatest
mathematician since Einstein. But
without the Special Talent Avenue, the
student could not be admitted to Albany.
I think the university thought they were
losing out on students with ‘special
talents, whether it was music, art or
drama. And athletics is viewed in that
arena. I think when that program was
first initiated, the coaches felt that it
would be panacea. They thought our
teams would be composed entirely of
Special Talent athletes. I could go through
our starting 22 and I don’t know if we
have more than three starters who are
Special Talent.

ASP: A hot topic that has re-surfaced is
women playing organized football. What
would you do if a woman came to an
August tryout.

Ford: The first thing we'd do is go to Bill
Moore, our Director of Athletics, and see
what the institution's stand on it. From
there, if Bill said we'd have to let her
tryout, I would try to make sure that she’s
in the best physical condition and could
protect herself. As a coach you're sort of
caught in between in this. Legally, you
can't say no to her. At the samé time, if
she gets hurt, you've got to make sure
you're not negligent. I guess if a young
woman came out and she was 110
pounds and not very strong, and we put
her in a one on one with Scott Dmitrenko.
at 220 pounds and she got hurt, I think a
good lawyer would prove that I was
negligent. So I sincerely feel’ that if
football is a good sport for young women,
we should start women's football
programs as they have women's hockey
programs.

ASP: Can you see a woman on your
coaching staff?

Ford: Without question. Somewhere
within the next 10 years I would say that
will happen.

ASP: How much longer can you
realistically say you will continue
coaching?

Ford: That is tied up with a number of
things. One is physical health. Second, as.
long as it is fun and third as long as you
can stay employed in this business,
Football coaching is not referred to as a
terminal profession. There are only a
couple of Bear Bryant's who go to the age
of 65. Most of them get fired well before
that. There also is a phrase that coaching
is a young man’s game. I personally don’t
think that has anything to do with
chronological age, It has more to do with
an attitude. I've seen people at the age of
40 who are old and I've seen people 30
that are young. I think at this point I still
have got a helluva a lot of youthful
enthusiasm. I get excited about young
people. I get excited about competition. I
think as long as I bring those things to the
game T'll stay. It's a matter of staying
young physically, staying young mentally,
and being enthusiastic.

football for the past three years.

Have you ever heard the old saying that
for every single person there is an
individual exactly like him? This holds
especially true in the world of sports. The
following ten examples illustrate the
point.

Richard Todd-N.Y. Jets and Lee
Mazzilli-N.Y. Mets: Both of these men
were asked to replace a matinee idol. In
Todd's case, it was Joe Namath to pick up
where Tom Seaver left off. They struggled
in the beginning, but eventually put
together a few solid seasons. However,
they both had one bad season and were
immediately traded to subpar teams,
where their roles are mostly that of
warming the bench. Mazzilli batted 117
times for the Pittsburgh Pirates, which is
four times the number of passes Todd
attempted for the lowly New Orleans
Saints.

Walt Frazier-N.Y. Knicks and Joe
Namath-N.Y. Jets: These guys were both
flashy, but produced championships.
Namath was the leader of the 1968
championJets while Frazier led the
Knicks to championships in 1970 and
1973. Another interesting coincidence is
that both men spent their entire careers in
New York, except for their ignomious
final season. Namath spent his inglorious
last year with the L.A. Rams while Frazier
wrapped up his career in dreary
Cleveland.

Morrison Teague-Albany State men's
basketball team and Roger
McDowell-N.Y. Mets: If you had asked
Great Dane coach Doc Sauers during
training camp whom his top big man
coming off the bench would be, he
probably would have said Rich Chapman.
But Chapman quit the dub and freshman
Morrison ‘Russ’ Teague came on to do the
things Sauers expected from Chapman.
Met Manager Davey Johnson was
counting on Doug Sisk to be his top
righthander out of the bullpen. But when
Sisk was ineffective, rookie Roger
McDowall came on to record 17 saves and
was one of the primary reasons why the
Mets gave St. Louis a run for the money in
the N.L. East.

George Foster-N.Y. Mets and Larry
Csonka-N.Y. Giants: Both of these men
had great careers, but unfortunately for
New York fans, the two starred in other

cities. They did however, make much of
their fortunes at the expense of the New
York franchises despite less than
extravagant statistics. Foster played for
two championship teams for the Cincinati

Reds, but hasn't instilled the same magic *

for the Mets. Csonka was.a leading
member of two Miami Dolphin Super
Bowl champion squads, but was a flop for
the Giants, playing a starring role in the
notorious ‘fumble’ against the Eagles.
*Phil Jackson-N.Y. Knicks and Ed
Kranepool-N.Y. Mets: Both of these men
were role players for championship teams
in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Jackson
had some big fames coming off the bench
for the Knicks while Shea Stadium shook
with chants of Ed-die whenever the
veteran first basemen came up to pinch-
hit. Many observers also feel that each
played one or two years too many.

Earl Weaverijim Palmer-Baltimore
Orioles and Mike Ditkal/jim McMahon-
Chicago Bears: In about 10 years look for
Ditka and McMahon to join the broadcast
booth. Just like Palmer did to Weaver.
McMahon has raised Ditka's blood
pressure too many times. Although
Weaver and Ditka will be remembered as
great leaders, they were often disobeyed

by their star players. Weaver and Palmer
may have finally jelled in the broadcast
booth and who knows: maybe the same
fate will happen with Ditka and
McMahon.

George Bamberger-N.Y. Mets and
Bum Phillips-New Orleans Saints: Both
Bamberger and Phillips earned great
reputations as leaders with the Brewers
and Oilers respectively. However, when
they jumped to new teams — both
severely lacking in talent — they added to
the mess by making bad decisions,
leading to pitiful records. Bamberger
thought Brian Giles was a major league
second baseman and Phillips felt that the
ancient Kenny Stabler and Richard Todd
were still all-star quarterbacks.

Bobby Knight-Indiana Hoosiers and
Billy Martin-N.Y. Yankees: Both of these
men are great motivators as will as great
fighters. They have had many
disagreements with their players and
have been against the ropes many a time.
However, when you look back at the final
results, you can't find two finer leaders in
professional sports today.

Wilt Chamberlain-Philadelphia
Warriors and Wayne Gretzky-
Edmonton Oilers: Both of these men

dominated their sports like no other.
Chamberlain scored 100 points against
the Knicks in 1962 on his way to a 50 ppg.
season. Considering that no one ever
scored more than 70 points in a game or
averaged more than 30 during a season
makes Chamberlain's mark that more
amazing. Speaking of amazing, Gretzky
has made a 200-point year a normal
occurance in an era where 120 points is
considered All-Star team quality.

Gary Carter-N.Y, Mets and Hulk
Hogan-Professional wrestler: Both of
these American heroes started their
careers as bad guys, Hogan under the
leadership of the evil Freddie Blassie and
Carter under the equally diabolical Dick
Williams. When they saw the error of
their ways, New York was the answer.
Hogan has become a folk hero at Madison
Square Garden and Carter the same in
Flushing. In fact, the only thing that
Carter is missing is a championship belt
around his waist. Maybe in 1986 he'll
have a championship ring wrapped
around his finger.

New arena will alter Albany’s image

By Rob Isbitts

Many of us this May will be graduating
from Albany State, perhaps never to
return to the Capital City again. But there
is something taking place downtown that
the graduates of 1986, as well as the
underclassmen, should take note of
before they go on to bigger cities and
bigger responsibilities.

The city of Albany,
much maligned by the
student population for
its lack of similiarity to
New York City or even
Roslyn, is picking itself
up. and making a conscious effort to
become more than merely the legislative
center of the state. There are new offices
being built, and tenants are being sought
to fill them. Places like the old Kenmore
Hotel on Pearl Street, which has been
useful for years, is discovering new lives
as a home for businesses. Furthermore,

the Capitol area, which normally dears ‘

out by 5 p.m., is now the subject of a
revitalization plan, which would turn that
of town into a social center. similiar
to that of New York City on a smaller
scale.
This is good news, but what does it
have to do with sports? Actually, sports
plays a big role in the project, which

happens to coincide with Albany's
Tricentennial celebration.

One thing that this city has always
lacked is a ‘big time’ sports arena. The
Patroons play entertaining basketball, but
they play in a structure that brings to
mind the Haunted Castle at your favorite
amusement park. Baseball and football
on the major league level are infeasible;

But finally, after hearing idle rumours
for a decade, we leam of a formal
agreement between Albany and a
Philadelphia-based company whereby a
new arena would be built in the vicinity
of the Empire State Plaza. The Albany
Civic Center County Arena, or whatever.

possibility of an NHL or NBA franchise.
Several NHL teams are looking to escape
from their present surroundings, and a
couple have expressed interest in this
area.

‘A couple have expressed interest in this
area, The Patroons would welcome the
larger venue since they frequently sell out
the Washington Armory. RPI fans would
benefit for reasons discussed earlier, and

even Albany State sports would receive a
boost, judging by the scores of people
tured away from last year's Albany-
Potsdam contest.

The administration would surely
welcome the opportunity-to get Great
Dane athletics out where they would be
most visible to the public, as well as to
the local media. Maybe then, we'd see
our school’s results get equal billing with
high school sports on the 11 o'clock news.

In addition, the arena, which would
hold approximately 15,000 people, will
provide a location for top name concerts.
Hey, we might ever see the circus come
to town. 2

The full-time residents of this area as
well as the students, would find a new
sports arena to be an oasis, a place to
escape Albany's somewhat limited social
scene. Simultaneously, it can be a
catalyst, acting in conjunction with the
rest of the city’s plans to make this area a
more attractive one for students, families
in transition and medium-to-large-sized
companies.

It would suddenly be a great experience
to send our children to school in the ‘big
city up north,’ and still be able to take
Exit 24 on the Thruway to get there.

Human rights hero

To The Editor:

It is said that ‘‘whoever saves a single soul, it is as if he
had saved the whole world’’. In 1944 a man by the name
of Raoul Wallenberg saved more than 100,000 such souls
promised certain death by Nazi Germany simply because
they were Jews. For his efforts, the Soviet Union reward-
ed him with life imprisonment hoping that the World
would soon forget him. In 1981 President Ronald Reagan
honored him for his bravery by making him an honorary
citizen of the United States.

The actions of Wallenberg more than forty years ago
graphically demonstrates the universal desire of all
humanity for equal rights. At the recent Reagan-
Gorbachev Summit, the world felt a sense of relief that
the two nations most capable of destroying us all were at
least talking to each other. Without’ a doubt, these two
men are pragmatic politicians who seek public policies
that are, above all else, politically expedient. If such
secondary ideas as civil rights and basic human justice are
even considered, it is often after the policies have been
implemented, not before.

In the U.S., where great progress has occurred over the
past forty years in achieving civil rights for all, the expe-
dient Mr. Reagan is hoping Americans will forget the
historical injustices of the past. For his administration is
now attempting to reverse this progress by seeking the
elimination of the policy weapons used to secure equal
rights for all Americans.

Unlike Mr. Reagan, the expedient Mikail Gorbachev
cannot afford to ignore history. He knows full well that,
if the Soviet State is to survive, there can be no place in
the world for such concepts as civil rights and justice for
all. Consequently, he denies that Jews are mistreated and
should be allowed to leave the Soviet Union.

While Mr. Reagan appeals to the short memories of his
fellow man as he pursues his civil rights policies, Mr. Gor-
bachev clearly recognizes that, once people have known
the desire for equal rights, they will resist all efforts to
have those rights taken away. From the USA to the
U.S.S.R. to such troubled nations as South Africa and
Vietnam, the quest for justice continues. While
somewhere in the Soviet Union, Raoul Wallenberg still

Friendly food service

To The Editor:

Since we are thanking certain UAS workers whom we
see every day (in some cases long overdue), let me men-
tion Bertha Smith from the Walden cafeteria on Alumni
Quad.

Ms. Smith comes in at least two hours early most mor-
nings (when she might be sleeping) and always provides
courteous, friendly and efficient service (as does her
Supervisor Brenda). Kudos!!

E.P.T. error

To The Editor:

I noted with interest the advertisement for the e.p.t.
plus early pregnancy test on page 7 of the Friday,
December 6 issue of the ASP. It had the headline, “One
test where only you know the score.’’ In a very slick way
the advertisement stresses the advantage of e.p.t. as being
“totally private to perform and totally private to read.”’

This advertisement does a disservice to women. It is un-
fair to a woman to be encouraged to go through a
pregnancy test alone. An unplanned pregnancy can be a
very traumatic thing, especially at first. It is normal to
want to burst out crying upon hearing the results of a
positive pregnancy test. A woman has the right to expect
support. Everyone taking a pregnancy test should have
someone else present.

Birthright, a pro life center, is open to help everyone. It
provides free pregnancy tests, and free ongoing and infor-
mal counseling and emotional supoort in a loving at-
mosphere in the office orthrought the telephone hotline.
It also provides housing, cribs, layettes and advocacy
with social service agencies for day careetc. if you go to
term, and post abortion counseling if you do not.

A pregnancy test, whether it turns out positive or
negative, can be the emotional turning point of your life,
and the decision you make will affect not only you but
everyone around you, and society as well. If only you
know the score, then only you will know the heartache.
Please, please, don’t do it alone.

Unsolved tragedy

To The Editor:

This past holiday season marked the nine month an-
niversary of the March 27 disappearance of Karen
Wilson. Althought I am not a personal friend of Ms.
Wilson, I’m very concerned that her disappearance has
apparently been forgotten by many. I am urging that she
not be forgotten, and that organizations such as Student
Association and Public Safety will continue their search
for her. This case must be solved not only for the friends
and family of Karen Wilson, but for the safety of others
in the community. Ms. Wilson disappeared in the near
vicinity of the University. It is quite possible that the per-
son or persons responsible for her disappearance are still
in this vicinity, and if they are not arrested and/or con-
victed, the situation may be repeated, claiming another
victim. Although the Department of Public Safety has
tried to assure me that there is an ongoing investigation
for her, it is apparent that all resources need to be utilized
to revitalize the investigation and bring it to the attention
of the community at large.

Anyone who may have information about the
whereabouts of Karen Wilson, please contact Public
Safety at 442-3131.

Keep eye on gloves

To The Editor:

The other day, just like any other normal college stu-
dent who had a lot of work, I went to the library to go to
sleep in one of the carrels. Obviously, this was the smart
thing to do because nobody was around, it was quiet, and
I was able to doze right off. Unlike during finals, when
it’s crowded, noisy and people are trying to study, I was
able to nap contentedly, until a scratchy voice over the
PA requested’ that“Pascual Chang Muhammed report to

Soviet jewry

To The Editor:

The plight of the Soviet Jewry is an extremely impor-
tant humanitarian issue that must not be ignored. The
Jews of Russia are denied the basic rights of religious
freedom that we all take for granted. At the same time
though, when certain Russian Jews, known as
Refusenicks, ask for visas to leave thecountry and live

with their Joved ones in Israel, they are most often not per-
mitted to do so. In addition, they frequently lose their
jobs and are arrested without proper cause, They are
charged with any number of fallacious crimes, such as
‘anti-Soviet slander’’, ‘‘treason”’, ‘‘parasitism’’ etc., and
are convicted to many years in prison (often a labor
camp).

Our task, as responsible human beings, is to attempt to
aid these oppressed people in any possible manner, The
apathy that has overtaken much of the world’s popula-
tion must be overcome. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. so
eloquently stated, “I cannot stand idly by, even though I
live in the United States and even though I happen to be
an American Negro, and not be concerned about what
happens to my brothers and sisters who happen to be
Jews in Soviet Russia. For what happens to them happens
to me and you, and we must be concerned...In the name
of humanity, I urge that the Soviet government end all the
discriminatory measures against its Jewish community.”*
In order to help the Refusenicks and all of Russian Jewry,
we must write letters to our congressman to demonstrate
our concern and participate in marches and rallies until
all Russian Jews are granted the freedoms that we all
cherish. The emigration rate of Jews from the Soviet
Union is at its lowest point in many years; therefore it is
imperative that we act now before it is too late!

Rating the grade

To The Editor:

The grading policies here at SUNYA are neanderthal in
nature and it’s time to change. There is something wrong
when a person with a 78 average and a person with an 87
average get the same grade for the semester. Since when
does 78 equal 87?

It’s not only a principle of fairness 1 am writing about,
but how it adversely affects many students at SUNY
Albany. It grossly affects students who want to enter
graduate school. A person who wants to transfer to
another school might have a lower average than other. ~
students applying to the same coll€ge not necessarily
because of lower achievement in his classes but due to the
grading policies of this school. There is an equitable solu-
tion to this problem.

Education Dept. to offer financial aid
files in search for unregistered males

By Mark Kobrinsky
STAFF WRITER

During a news conference last
week, Secretary of Education,
Willim J. Bennett and Director of
Selective Service Thomas Tur-
nage, announced plans to give
Pell Grant Program computer
tapes listing the names of five
million student financial aid ap-
plicants,in an effort to uncover
males who have failed to register
with Selective Service:

These plans are directed at en-
forcing The Solomon Amend-
ment, which became law in 1987,
and requires males eighteen years
and older to register with Selec-
tive Service. Failure to register
would result in the loss of federal
financial aid. In addition to filling
out forms for financial assistance,
male students must sign a state-
mant confirming that they have
registered with the Selective
Service.

The Education Department will
share the computer tapes with
Selective Service each year.At the
news conference Secretary Ben-
nett said the new arrange-
ment,‘‘will not only protect the
federal taxpayer, but also fulfill
our obligation to those millions of
fine young men who have
registered to serve their country if
ever needed.””

Bennett quoted Theodore
Roosevelt as saying ‘‘the first re-
quisite of a good citizen in this
Republic of ours is that he shall
be able and willing to pull his
weight.’’

“One of the ways in which col-
lege students can pulln their
weight and fulfill their respon-
sibility of citizenship,’’said Ben-
nett,‘‘is by standing ready to de-

need.””

Jane McAlevey, President of
the Student Association of State
University (SASU), said she
feels‘‘the idea of the Secretary of
Education giving the names out is
outrageous; it’s taking educators
and making them do essentially a
job the military should be do-
ing.’ According to McAlevey,
SASU opposed the Solomon Am-
mendment since its conception.

compliance with the Solomon
Ammendment in giving the names
of state aid recipients,” said
Robert Lowry, Program Analyst
for the Higher Education Com-
mittee. ‘‘This year will be the
third year this. bill has been
presented,” he added.

There are two reasons the bill
has not passed before,said
Lowry. ‘‘Most of the students ap-
plying for state aid have most

“One of the ways-college students
can pull their weight . . .is by
standing ready to defend their

country. ”’

— William Bennett

The Solomon Ammendment is
a “‘racist assault” on the lower in-
come groups, said Jane
McAlevey. ‘‘Unemployment
amongst Blacks and Hispanics is
at its highest in American History
right now—it currently stands at
47 percent. These are the people
that are most likely going to apply
for the aid,’’she said.

Norman Hostetter, New York
State Associate Vice Chancellor
for Education Services said that
colleges and universities are not
directly involved in the education
department’s actions.Hostetter
explained that ‘the computer
tapes only have the names of the
students who applied for federal
aid programs.”

The New York State Assembly
will also be considering ways to
comply with the Solomon Am-
mendment. Within the next week,
two bills will be brought before
the Assembly’s Higher Education

likely applied for federal aid,
therefore it would be superfluous
to have the same name reported
twice.’’ Also, he said, ‘‘students
who are not receiving any federal
aid are not included in the list of
names.””

There are mixed reactions to
this issue on the SUNYA campus.
“For people who are against the
draft, it is unfair,”’said Scott
Connelly, a junior. ‘Your aid
should not be tied to the draft.’”

Rochelle Hellman, a junoir said
“People who are not on financial
aid are not losing anything in this
matter. Those receiving aid are
helpless.’”

Jim Derasmo, a junior, said “I
don’t think it’s unfair. People
who are on financial aid, and
don’t sign should. If the country is
paying for your education, you
should register.’”

The actual date for the transfe:

fend their country in time of Committee. ‘‘These bills concern of names has not yet been set. []

COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES

Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The Internal
Revenue Service, recently signed up to help cor-
ral students who default on their students loans,
may now get in the business of deciding if
students are telling the truth on their aid
applications.

To “‘catch errors’’ on student aid applications,
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
said last month it will ask Congress to give
federal agencies access to IRS records.

Claiming student loans have the ‘‘highest error
rate’ of any federal benefit program, OMB
spokesman Steve Tupper says the plan could save
the government at least $1 billion.

But some student aid officials say the OMB in-
sists on overestimation the error rate.

“There seems to be an attitude that there are a
whole bunch of people out there cheating,’’ said
Dallas Martin, head of the National Association
of Student Financial Aid Administrators.

“But our experience has been that people are
very, very honest,’ he noted.

Tupper is quick to say he doesn’t believe
students are “‘cheating ,”” though he does call the
measure ‘‘very necessary,’’ and believes Martin
“‘is very wrong.””

Nineteen percent of all Pell Grant recipients,
for example, are overpaid because of informa-
tional errors on the applications, Tupper
maintained. "

By verifying family income information with
the IRS, institutions can make sure ‘‘everyone
receives just the right amount of money they’re
entitled to,”” he added.

But as the OMB hurries to complete the pro-
posal before Congress adjourns for the holidays,
House members already are complaining the
system would invade students’ privacy.

IRS may play role in determining
truthfulness of student aid forms

“In an attempt to eliminate abuse in govern-
ment programs, we may also be eliminating
privacy and personal independence,” said Rep.
Don Edwards, the Democratic chairman of the
House Judiciary Subcommittee on Civil and
Constitutional Rights.

Student aid is only the most recent addition to
the Reagan administration’s effort to solve the
“payment integrity problems” troubling feferal
benefit programs by bringing in the IRS.

Congress has already approved having the IRS
verify income and eligibility for the food stamp,
unemployment, Medicaid, and Aid to Dependent
Children programs.

In August, the administration announced it
would also have the IRS withhold the tax returns
of people who are in default on their student loan
repayments.

The withholding will start with 1985 tax
returns.

“The OMB is saying to Congress, if your in-
tent is payment integrity, then you must add at
least a dozen other programs (to the verification
systems) including student aid,’’ Tupper said.

Tupper said the error rate for all federal ©
benefit programs currently stands at five percent.

Allowing agencies access to IRS and other in-
formation — eg., alien status, Social Security
files and railroad retirement income — would
decrease the error amount by as much at $1
billion, Tupper estimates.

Under the new proposal, the Pell Grant overall
error rate would drop ‘‘by much more than a few
(percentage) points,”” Tupper said.

Meanwhile, the Department of Education’s
Office of Student Aid and the American Council
on Education say they’ll reserve judgment until
the proposal makes its way to Congress. oO

Challenger explodes after
liftoff; crew believed dead

Cape Canaveral, Florida
(AP) Space Shuttle Challenger exploded
into a, gigantic fireball moments after
liftoff Tuesday, apparently killing all
seven. crew members, including
schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe.

There was no announcement: of the
fate of the crew, but it appeared there
was no way they could survive:

The $1.2 billion spacecraft, one of
four int NASA’s shuttle: fleet, appeared
to be destroyed.

It was the first in-flight disaster in 56.

three asttonauts were killed in a 1967

program.

The explosion-was a devastating set-
back for the Natfonal Aeronatics- and
Space Administration after successfully
carrying out 24 space shuttle missions in
slightly less than five years.

The shocking spectacle was seen by
millions of people around the country
who were watching the launch on
television.

Half an hour after the explosion, a
serpentine trail of white smoke, twisted
by the upper wind, remained in the clear
sky, marking the path of the shuttle’s
wreckage.

After the explosion, the shuttle ap-
peared to still be flying and suddenly
corkscrewed out of ocntrol and plunged
toward the ocean.

The flight was the second of a record
15 shuttle flights 'that NASA had plann-
ed this year.

It’ probably will be months now
before antoher shuttle can be launched,
while engineers try to determine what
went wrong.

NASA said the explosion occurred
about 60 seconds into the mission, at a

point when the astronauts were beginn-
ing to throttle their engines up to thax-
imum thrust after ‘they ‘throttled them
down to a 60 percent level at 3§ seconds
in order to reduce the forces of gravity
during liftoff.

The explosion also occurred about the
time Challenger was to enter’a period of.

White House spokesman Larry
Speakes said President Reagan was
“concerned”’ and ‘‘saddened”’ at the ac-
cident but had no immediate details.
**We don’t have any more information
than what is being provided to the
public on television.”

The gleaming ship had risen spec-
tacularly off the launch pad at 11:38
a.m. EST, after a series of weather and
technical delays, and was climbing
smoothly, trailing a 700-geyser of fire
when suddenly it erupted in a huge
fireball and shot out of control.

A voice at Mission Control said: ‘‘We
are checking with recovery forces to see
what can be done at this point...Con-
tingency procedures are in effect.’’

The voice said: ‘‘Vehicle has explod-
ed...We are awaiting word from any
recovery forces downrange.”’

There were seven crew members
aboard, including McAuliffe, a 37-year-
old New Hampshire teacher selected
from 11,146 teacher applicants to be the
first to fly in NASA’s citizen-in-space
program.

Integration boosts black students’ self-image

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Black
students educated in integrated elementary
and high schools are more likely to stay in
colleges than students from segregated
schools, a new Rand Corporation study.
has found.

“J think it’s a very significant study. I
certainly agree with its findings,” said
Rober Mitchem, director of the National
Council of Educational Opportunity
Associations.

**Blacks need the experience in dealing
with whites. They are a lot better off in
dealing with whites when they go to col-
lege,’’ observed Robert Crain, who did the
study for Rand.

Crain tracked 661 black students from
1966 through 1982, and found those from

- integrated schools not only were more like-

ly to graduate from college, but were more
likely to find white-collar jobs after
graduation than the students from
segregated schools

Integration ‘‘does a lot for their self-
confidence,’ Mitchem asserted. ‘‘They
realize that they are the same as whites.”

Black students’ ‘‘theory of success is
based on what whites will let them do. It’s
not irrational, but it’s hard for us (whites)

to understand the connection between .

well-being and Crain
explained.

“Boys in desegregated schools were
more likely to stay out of trouble and the
girls were less likely to get pregnant,’’
Crain noted.

Crain’s study also shows black males
from integrated schools have a higher rate
of college enrollment than females. Black
females coming from segrated en-
vironments, however, usually have had an
easier time adjusting to an integrated set-
ting, Crain maintained, because women
are not as confrontational as men.

And the spread of school integration
also convinces more black students to

race relations,”

enroll at integrated colleges, he added.
Crain said the students’ better self-
images is part of the reason traditionally-
black colleges are registering fewer black
students. More whites and Hispanics ae
going tothe traditionally-black schools,
however.
As of 1982, non-blacks made up almost

The Rev. Donald D. Lynch, an
associate professor of English at Fair-
field University, smiles each time a
character from Shakespeare’s ‘‘Richard
IM’ disappears from his computer
screen.

The Bard has gone digital in the base-
ment of a building at the university,
where Lynch has devised a colorful
computer program that catalogues,
sorts, graphs, maps and outlines plots
and characters in nearly all of
Shakespeare’s plays.

bedfellows.’’ It was Stephano in ‘‘The
Tempest.’’

Students can even take tests by
answering questions randomly selected
by the computer from a bank of about
200 entered by Lynch.

The program is embellished with
elaborate graphics in green, blue, red,
gold and fuschia. Its title, The
Shakespeare Library, appears on the
screen inside a gold crown behind which
the background dissolves from color to
color before exploding in red and fading
into black.

“That’s a little jazz,”” Lynch said. “I
do see some kids falling asleep with
some programs.’”

Lynch, 57 and a Shakespeare pro-
fessor for 25 years, is putting his pro-
gram to use in his classroom and it’s
usually available in Fairfield’s computer
lab to students wanting to brush up
before an exam, take a missed quiz or
do some extra studying.

wondered if the emerging new pattern
might not hurt students who otherwise
would have gotten four-year degrees from
a traditionally-black college.

He attributes the shift to two-year in- ,
tegrated schools to low tuition rates and
the urban locale of many two-year col-
leges.

Prof mates Shakespeare and the microchip

Lynch took a yearlong sabbatical to
take computer courses. His goal was to
“see how a humanities professor could
use a computer. Teachers in humanities
are afraid of high-tech. But if we can use
chalkboards and overhead projectors,
why not these?*”

During his sabbatical, he discovered a
keen interest in computers, and it coin-
cidentally meshed with his love of
Shakespeare. The Shakespeare Library
was a natural development.

“Ym a Jesuit priest, unmarried, and
celibate,” he said. ‘‘This is my baby.”

While Lynch has created a teaching
tool for his students, a group in Chicago

is attempting a more ambitious coupling

of the Bard and the microchip.
Volunteers are working on the
Shakespeare Data Bank, which they
hope will eventually commit tens of
thousands of pages of scholarly work,
as well as the plays and the poems
themselves, to computer memory.

- Pearl returns to lead women swimmers in ’86

By Doreen Clark
STAFF WRITER

The women’s swim team had a busy
winter break with a trip to Puerto Rico and
four meets.

The team won a meet against Platt-
sburgh at the end of last semester. Platt-
sburgh was stronger than last year,
though, and proved to be competition for
the Danes.

“They weren’t as easy as we thought
they’d be,’’ said assistant coach Caroline
Sharlocke. Freshman Chris Cawley won
the 1000-yard freestyle and 100-yard
backstroke. Carol Elie achieved her best
times in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle, and
Nancy Smith qualified for SUNYACs in
the 500 freestyle.

The women’s team, accompanied by the
men’s team, travelled to Puerto Rico
shortly after the new year for a ten-day
winter training session. Forty-one swim-
mers, twenty from the women’s team went
on the trip. Last year, sixty-two swimmers
went. The decreased number allowed the
swimmers much more room to swim in and
afforded more attention from the coaches.

The team practiced twice a day for two
hours for all but one day in the 50 meter,
outdoor University of Puerto Rico pool.
Practice continued even during the one
rainy day of the trip.

The team peaked by swimming 1080
yards one day. ‘‘Practices were much
harder than last year,” said Sue Hub.
Many of the swimmers agreed that the
team had worked harder and had come
back in better shape than last year. ‘‘The
team is more serious this year,” added
Hub.

I think that this year was better than
last,”’ said coach Dave Turnage.

Along with the valuable training ses-
sions, the beautiful sights, weather, and
snorkeling trips have prompted the team to
start making arrangements already to

return next year, including a plan to
change what was a scrimmage this year in-
to an official meet next year.

Albany State provided meal money for
the trip, but the swimmers had to in-
dividually finance their own transporta-
tion and expenses.

The third captain of the team, Carol
Pearl, has joined the team after spending a
semester in England.

“She’s such a good swimmer. She didn’t
swim in England, swam two weeks when
hse came back, and she’s swimming ex-
cellently,”” said co-captain Claire Blan-
thorn. ‘“‘She’s just about equaling her
record times,’’ added Sharlocke.

The hard work in Puerto Rico paid off
as the team beat both Oswego and
Potsdam in a tri-meet. The meet was their
first competition since their return.
Potsdam has always been strong competi-
tion, yet this year the Danes splashed by
them with a score of 68-43.

Potsdam has always been one of the top
teams of the conference. They lost a few
people and we’re better, so we won,”’ said
Sharlocke.

Jane Klotz took first place in both div-

the first half.

“‘He’s (Mitchell) got three inches on me,
but I felt I could handle him,” said
Dickens. ‘‘He keeps the ball over his head,
so that made it tougher.’”

Sauers said, “I think we could have
done a better job on Brendan.”

Other scorers for Potsdam were Stanton
-with 14 and Conboy and Leonard each
contributing eight points. All of Conboy’s
points came in the second half.

The Great Danes were led by Cinque’s
nine points, all from the floor. Kauppila

ing events, with Gail Mendel right behind
her with third and fourth places. Cawley
achieved a personal best while taking first
place in the 500 freestyle. In her first meet,
Pearl placed first in the 200 individual
Medley.

“Tt was nice to swim in a 25-yard pool
after training in a 50 meter pool,” said
Sharlocke,

The team’s only loss this season was to
Hamilton College. Hamilton presents a
tough challenge, having at least four na-
tional competition qualifiers among a
strong team. The Danes performed well
under the competition, producing many
personal bests. Hub reached a personal
best in the 200 free, Ingrid Hansen and
Jenny Morrow both had personal bests in
the 200 individual Medley, Lori Aronstein
dropped her best time by two seconds in
the 400-yard freestyle relay, and Randy
Morrow set a personal best in the
1000-yard freestyle.

Carol Pearl came one second from the
100-yard school record. Hamilton is not in
the SUNYAC conference and does not af-
fect Albany State’s standing in the
conference.

followed with eight points. Dickens,
Kilmer, and Mracek all had seven points.
Kilmer’s were all in the first half. Albany’s
leading scorer, Ursprung, was held to only
six points.

“They had their wing on me, usually,””
said Kilmer. ‘‘It’s hard to get your shot
when you’ve got somebody waving their
hands in your face all the time.”

As Welsh said, “It was more like a 14 or
12 point game. Albany played very well.
They are a very good team. We knew
they’d ue tough and that we had to
execute.”

Three days later, the Danes picked up
their roll of victories again as they beat St.
Michael’s 69-44. The highlight of the meet
was the new 1000-yard record set by earl in
11:28.6. She will try to maintain the pace
she set during the race on Saturday in a
meet aainst Cortland to qualify for NCAA
competition in the 1650-yard freestyle.

Cortland is expected to provide diver
Klotz’s only competition until national
competition. Cortland has three national
qualifiers among their divers.

With Albany’s natural qualifiers Klotz
of the women’s team and Michael Varden
of the men’s team, a total of five national
qualifiers will be competing in diving in
Albany State’s pool on Saturday.

“It’s very rare that you get five divers of
national’s quality together in a dual meet.
There should be some outstanding perfor-
mances,’’ said diving coach Jim Serbalik.

Overall, all coaches are expecting in-
creases in performances and decreases in
times as the team ‘‘begins the end’’ of the
season. ‘‘We worked harder this year and I
think that it’s really going to start paying
off,’’ said Turnage.

He added, ‘‘They are gonna be as tough
as anyone ever saw down there.”

The loss to Potsdam puts the Dane’s
record at 11-5 overall and 5-1 in the con-
ference going into Wednesday night’s
game against Cortland at 8:00 p.m. in the
university gym.

In their previous meeting the Danes
trounced the Cortland Red Dragons 98-70.

In their first meet after returning froma
training excursion to Puerto Rico, the
Albany State men’s swim team was topped
by Hamilton on Saturday, 70-44, leaving
their conference record at 3-3 and their
overall record at 3-4.

Albany State head coach Dave Turnage
accounted for the loss by admitting, ‘“We
don’t schedule all winners. This was a meet
where the men met up against good
competition.”

Fred Greenbaum did have a Dane day in
the 50-yard freestyle. He clocked a 22.4
time. Greenbaum holds the Albany State
record in that event. Freshman Pete
McElerney wasn’t too far behind with a
time of 22.9.

Michael Jackson swam a good
1000-yard freestyle today with a time of
11.03.

In the 200-yard individual Medley, Jeff
Kennedy took fourth with a time of 2.10,
with captain Andrew Motola following
with a 2.17 time.

The Albany State men’s swimming team
recently returned from a fun-filled but in-
tense trip to Puerto Rico. The men enjoyed
the beautiful beaches, but also trained
seriously for four hours a day.

“The trip was excellent. It got us in a lot
better shape. The workouts were intense,
and the hard work in Puerto Rico will pay
off later in the season,”’ said sophomore
Peter Farmar.

The Danes scrimmaged against the
University of Puerto Rico in the host
school’s 50-meter pool. The Danes are us-
ed to swimming in their own 25-yard pool,

_ -and the consensus among the Albany State

swimmers was that competing in the longer
pool was a beneficial exercise, especiallly
for the sprinters.

“Their pool is more than twice as long,

so it made it easier to come back to Albany
and swim,” said sprinter Greenbaum. “‘It
made my stroke longer, which was what I
needed. It strengthened the length of my
stroke.”

The training in Puerto Rico also helped

ing as the Danes earned a 67-60 victory.

Albany led at halftime, 33-26, and never
fell behind. The Danes shot 79percent
from the free throw line and demonstrated
well-rounded scoring in the hard-fought
physical battle, and New Rochelle had to
play without one of last year’s All-
Americans, Anne Fitzpatrick, who
graduated.

“Tt was a landmark game for Albany in
that the team proved to the Southern part
of the state that state schools are worthy of
good teams,’’ said Warner.She added, ‘‘it
was an important win to make ourselves
known better.””

People downstate said an upstate team
won't beat them. They don’t feel that our
level of basketball is as competitive,”’said
Bayba.

“Because the gym was so small it was a
hard game to call, the officials let a lot
go,” added Warner.

Although the clock didn’t run well,
Albany played an effective half-court
press. Sophomore Cindy Jensen led the
team in rebounding ten.

New Rochelle doesn’t appear again on
the ‘86 schedule, but it’s possible the
Danes will meet them at tournement time
somewhere down the road,

In what was barely a workot for
theteam, the 11-2 Danes trounced lost New
Paltz january 20th. Despite the 90-26
score, Albany shot only40 percent from
the free throw line. All 14 players scored
for Albany.

to build up the Danes’ endurance,

““It will benefit distance swimmers in the
short run and benefit everyone in-the long
run,’’ said Captain Michael Wright. “The
times aren’t as great right now, but it’s just
due to the intense training in Puerto
Rico.”

Two days later, the Danes added a 70-33
victory over Binghamton to their record.

Forward-center Kim Kosalek went 40
percent from both the line and the floor.
Her seven points, eight rebounds and three
assists combined for a strong game for the
junior.

The Danes raised their SUNYAC record
to 7-0 as they destroyed host Postdam,
67-33. Albany held them scoreless for the
first seven and a half minutes of the ball
game. Forwards Jill Silverman and Jensen
recorded six rebounds each.

The Danes real strength appears to lie in
their defenses. A variety of defenses have
proven effective in competition thus far.

Bayba has averaged 50 percent from the
floor and 82 percent from the line. Along
with her 10.9 average points per game,
Bayba, along with Lesane, have been
crucial in team play.

Fernandes and Chris Lombard have
averaged 7.8 points per game thus far.
Jensen stands at 6.5, while Donna Hughes
has been shooting 50 percent from the
floor on mostly perimeter shots.

Rochelle wins most important. “Especially
at New Rochelle, they played great ball’,
She said.

Although the team is not forming any
specific combinations, everyone has learn-
ed to play with everyone else. ‘‘We’re get-
ting productivity from virtually
everybody”, added Warner.

Buffalo State, the only team ranked
ahead of Albany in the State stands at
14-1. The SUNYAC will most likely mark
the first time the teams face each other in
competition. F

With Lesane, LaBombard and Hughes
averaging 26,24 and 18 minutes per game,
and eleven other players averaging ten or
more minutes, team optimism is high.

Last week Albany received honorable
mention in the top 20 national poll. “We
expect to be in there next week”, said
Warner.

The Danes will face Cortland State on
Wednesday at 6:00 in University Gym.

Albany-Potsdam: a SUNYAC cold war lives on

By Mike MacAdam
Associate Sports Editor

Every year the Albany State basketball
team plays approximately 25 games before
the SUNYAC tournament in late
February. And every year their home-and-
home series against SUNYAC-East rival
Potsdam State seems to draw the most
attention.

Every freshman sports fan at Albany
State hears the same spiel from his upper
classmates: ‘‘If you’re going to make it to
only one game this year, at least make sure
it’s the Potsdam game.””

An Albany State-Potsdam game is
perennially more than just a game; it’s an
event. Whether that’s because the Great
Danes and Bears have always been the two
big kids on the block in the SUNYAC-
East, or because they’ve nurtured a unique
disliking for each other through the years
doesn’t matter. An Albany-Potsdam game
is something different.

Last year’s 63-57 home victory by the
Danes came against a Potsdam team rank-
ed number one in the nation in Division
IIL. The game was punctuated by a bench-
clearing melee with seconds to go when it
was apparent that the Danes were going to
pull it out.

Saturday night’s contest at Potsdam’s
Maxcy Hall showed only a slight edge of
animosity--a frustrated Mike Cinque
bounced the ball off the back of the Bears’
Brendan Mitchell’s leg after a whistle but
peace was quickly restored--but the rivalry
was no less fierce, and the outcome no less
important.

The’ 1985-86 version of the Potsdam
Bears was 17-0 and ranked number one
once again in Division III when they took
the court against the Danes Saturday, and
they showed-why when they turned a close
score into a blowout in the final seven
minutes of the second half.

Albany State head coach Dick Sauers

TYGAR UPS
Albany’s Adam Ursprung

told his team during Saturday afternoon’s
walk-through practice that all the pressure
was on Potsdam. Whether this was the
truth or only confidence-building by
Sauers, the fact remains that it isn’t easy
playing in Maxcy Hall when you’re the
Albany State Great Danes.

Little reminders that these two teams
don’t like each other were evident before
the game: Adam Ursprung’s concise,
derogatory opinion of Potsdam printed on
the back of his practice t-shirt, or joking
by the Albany State players about what

they would do to “‘The Bear,”’ Potsdam’s
team mascot, if he tried to give them the
fake high-five. But the intensity of this
special rivalry was best demonstrated dur-
ing pre-game warm-ups and the game
itself.

Potsdam State, with an enrollment of
only 3600, rarely has trouble filling Maxcy
Hall’s 3000 seat capacity by game time.
But most of the seats were filled for the
pregame warm-up on Saturday.

The Bears’ first field goal of the game
was rewarded with the usual cloud burst of
confetti and enough toilet paper to keep
the dorms comfortable for a week. As is
the habit of most home team crowds at
college and high school basketball games,
the Potsdam student body smugly read the

disadvantage during vacation

While most Albany State students head-
ed either home or for warmer climates dur-
ing Christmas break, the men’s basketball
team was compiling a 5-3 intersession
record to bring their overall record to 11-4
before travelling to Potsdam.

The Danes bowed to Muhlenberg,
72-71, in the opening round of the Great
Dane Classic and 69-61 to Buffalo State in
the consolation round on Jan. 4. The loss
to Buffalo State capped a three-game
home losing streak, the first ever in head
coach Dick Sauer’s 31-year reign.

The Danes responded with their second
victory over RPI this year, 78-60 at home,
as Mike Cinque poured’ in 19 points and
Brian Kauppila added 14.

Albany State had success on the road
over the break, going 4-0. Morrison
Teague’s 17 points and Tony Dickens’
seven rebounds sparked a 78-75 victory at
Hunter College Jan. 10. The Danes travell-
ed to Staten Island University the next day,

newspaper while the visiting Danes were
introduced. A band featuring an electric
bass and drum kit pumped out pop hits
when the Bears came up with big baskets.

But this sort of thing happens all the
time. It’s just all the more sweeter for the
Bears when it happens to the Danes.

The Potsdam State fans even consider
themselves on a first-name basis with
Sauers, chanting ‘‘sit down, Dick”’ when
he berates an official or directs his players.
Potsdam State head coach Jerry Welsh
knows he cah expect the same treatment
when the Bears visit Albany February 15.

on before then, but they won’t have a

Potsdam.

winning 78-68. John Mracek hit seven of
nine field goals, and the team shot 34-39
from the free throw line, including Mike
Cinque’s 11-14 from the charity stripe.

Cinque and Adam Ursprung combined
for 30 points and Doug Kilmer dished.out
10 assists at home against Hamilton, but it
wasn’t enough as the Danes fell, 72-68, on
Jan. 15.

The Danes won two more on the road,
77-68 at Oneonta, and 69-65 at Bingham-
ton on Jan. 22. Ursprung led the Danes
against Oneonta with 21 points and 12 re-
bounds, and Tony Dickens grabbed 10
rebounds.

Teague’s jump shot with 0:46 remaining
snapped a 65-65 deadlock at Binghamton,
and Cinque’s two free throws iced the vic-
tory. Ursprung scored 17 points, pulled
down 13 rebounds, and blocked five shots.
Cinque and Kilmer each had eight assists,
and Kauppila helped out with 11 points.

Albany State gets caught up in Bear territory

Potsdam, N.Y.
By Kristine Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR

After a gutsy attempt at upsetting the
number one Division III team in the na-
tion, the Albany State Great Danes, con-
sidered the decisive underdogs, suffered
their first road loss of the season in Maxcy
Hall at the hands éf their archrivals, the
Potsdam Bears, 69-51.

Underdogs or not, Albany kept up with
the- undefeated Bears throughout the first
half (30-28, Potsdam), and most of the se-
cond half. For the Danes, the game wasn’t
Jost until the final seven minutes when
Jerry Welsh’s Bears scored 11 straight
points to turn a 48-44 lead into a 15 point
lead enroute to their 18 point victory.

With 7:43 remaining, the Danes had
pulled to within four on Russ Teague’s lay
up, but back at the other end of the court,
Potsdam’s 6’5’’ center Barry Stanton
drove the baseline straight into Albany’s
6°4” center John Mracek, knocked him
down and scored. No foul was called and
the basket was good, giving the Bears a six
point lead.

“We had a switch on and I slid over and
thought I had position,’’ said Mracek, ‘‘1
asked the ref. about it, and he said it made
up for a few calls at the other end.””

Albany head coach Dick Sauers said,

charge.”’ As for it being a turning point in

6’1”’ point guard, trimmed two points off
the Potsdam lead with a little under four
minutes to go.

An ll-point spree by Potsdam was
dominated by 672’ guard Roosevelt
Bullock, who scored three consecutive
baskets and sank two free throws with 49
seconds left on the clock. That was follow-
ed by 6’5” forward John Leonard scoring
a field goal and senior guard Jeff Amdon
adding one point from the free throw line.
This set the Bears at a very comfortable 21
point cushion at 69-48,

With seconds left on the clock Cinque
dribbled the ball to half court and put up a
three point shot which fell into the hoop as
the buzzer sounded, ending the game
69-51.

“‘How’d ya like to be up by two and
have him hit that sucker.’ said Welsh.

“With seven minutes left we stopped
playing defense and they kept playing
tough defense,’’ said Sauers. ‘‘The last
seven minutes; that was the difference.”

The rest of the game was very close,
especially the end of the first half.
Potsdam pulled out to the largest lead of
the half midway through at 16-7. Trailing
by nine points, the Danes began to pick up
momentum and slowly trimmed the Bear’s
lead. In the next three and a half minutes
Albany outscored Potsdam 12-4.

When the Albany State women’s basket-

ball team finished the season with an im-

pressive 23-4 record,they said that they
were going to be even better this year.
What sounded like a pretty tough task has
been backed up by plenty of action as the
Danes continue to chalk up the wins.
They have won their last 13 straight
games and are ranked second in the state

behind Buffalo State. Going into last
night’s game against Oswego,they had a
13-2 record. .

The Danes have been on a roll ever since
two early season losses to Columbia by one
point, and Eastern Connecticut University
by four.

High scoring guard, Rainny Lesane has
averaged 13.2 points per game. Equally
important are her high average of steals
and assists.

Senior Kim Koselek looks to pass. The Danes are 13-2. They’ve won thelr last 13 Ina
row.

Lesane led Albany, then 7-2, with 17
points in a 76-56 win over R.P.I.(then 5-2)
on January 9. Lesane also had five assists
and five steals, complemented by forward-
center Lori Bayba’s fourteen points.

Two days later, Albany had their ‘First
real big win,’’according to head coach
Mari Warner, against Nazareth, a team
they have lost to the past two years.

In what Warner considered a ‘‘sloppy
game’’, the Danes squeaked out a 57-56
victory over Nazareth.

Things did not go well for the Danes
during the first half. They were down by
15 points at one point and ended up com-
mitting twenty-eight turnovers in the
game.

Slowly gaining momentum, the team cut
the lead to six points by halftime.

The Danes whittled away at the lead,
slowly but surely, until Julie Hotmer tied it
up at 55-55 with a minute to play. Bayba
then came up with the winning points from
the free-throw line.

“The win did a lot of good for our
record and reputation, but it was definitely
not our best game played”, said senior
Debia Logan.

The entire roster contributed in a 77-37
blowout of Union College three days later.
Lesane led with 18 points, five steals, and
four assists.Bayba compiled eleven points,
and Donna Hughes accounted for six
steals.

But the highlight of the season took
place January 16 in New Rochelle. The
College of New Rochelle ,which played in
the finals of the 1985 nationals and
featured two All-Americans, took a bruis-

The comeback started when senior Doug
Kilmer fed the ball to Cinque for a reverse
layup. The Bears turned over the ball and
Cinque drove in for another layup. Con-

free throws making the score 16-12.

Potsdam’s Steve Babiarz scored two con-
secutive field goals to put the Bears ahead
by eight points.

Kilmer followed with a field goal just in-
side three point range at the top of the cir-
cle. Ursprung scored two baskets to bring
the Danes within four points at 22-18.

The Danes came within one point on

maining Tony Dickens scored and was
fouled for a three point play to pull the
Danes within two, 26-24. Stanton and
Turner scored for the Bears, giving them a
six-point advantage, 30-24 with 2:00 left
‘on the clock. Mracek scored underneath,
and then Cinque stole the ball, drove to the
basket and dished it off to Mracek for the
score, ending the half 30-28.

“In the first half we were out of synch,”
said Welsh. ‘‘We didn’t run our offense.
We didn’t have our point guard handling
the ball. We didn’t organize.

“In the last ten minutes of the second
half they didn’t get very many good
shots,” he added.

The leading scores for Potsdam were
Mitchell and Bullock with 16 poins apiece.
Mitchell, who averages 16 ppg, had eight
points at halftime, while Bullock, who

averages under 15ppg, scored six points in

Grapplers best

The Albany State wrestling team and
Head Coach Joe DeMeo feel slighted.

After overcoming a 15-point deficit
Saturday at University Gym to defeat
the nation’s second-ranked Division III
team, St. Lawrence, the Danes, ranked
17th, were still ranked lower than St.
Lawrence. Trailing St. Lawrence, 21-6,
with only four weights remaining, Dane
grapplers Mike Simon (167 Ibs.}, Matt
Ryan (177), Marty Pidel (190), and
Chris Tironi (Hwt.) all won their mat-
ches, Ryan by a 4-2 decision for three
points, Pidel by a 12-3 decision for four,
and Simon and Tironi adding six points
each, winning by default and by pin,
respectively, to give the Danes a 25-21
victory.

“This was the biggest dual match win
in my nine years of coaching here,’’ said
DeMeo. ‘‘This is the first time we’ve
knocked off a top-ranked team. We’ve
come close, we lost to Ithaca by only
one point last year when they were top-
ranked, and to Binghamton which was
tinked second. This win is a big step for-
ward for us.’”

In addition to Simon, Ryan, Pidel,
and Tironi, wrestlers who currently have
dual match records of 6-5, 7-0, 8-0-1,
and 13-0, respectively, the Danes had
victories by Shawn Sheldon (118) and
Jim Fox (150). Sheldon, who is 15-0 in
matches this season, defeated John Can-
ty, 12-6, and Fox, currently 13-0-2,
defeated Dan Keating, 4-3.

The Danes are currently 13-2 and
ranked 17th nationally according to the

latest NCAA poll. DeMeo feels,
