Danes drub Potsd

By ch rae,

The Albany State men’s basketball team is
now in control of their own destiny.

After defeating the Potsdam Bears 62-56 in
fan overtime game Saturday evening the
Danes can, by winning their two remaining
‘conference games, assure themselves a spot in
the SUNYAC playoffs,

In a game'that was reminiscent of many in
a long list of Albany-Potsdam matches, the
two teams battled each other for the 45 most
important minutes of the Danes’ season,

Albany took charge of the game behind the
offense of freshman Adam Ursprung, He has
been. having problems on the offensive end
recently but scemed to snap out of it when
the game was on the line, Ursprung had a 15
point performance, 13 of which came in the
second half.

Ursprung accounted for eight of the
Danes’ 10 points in a 2:10 span that saw them
turn a 38-34 deficit into a 44-40 adyantage,
His points came from inside, outside and
from the foul lin

“Ursprung played great," said Albany
Head Coach Dick Sauers. ''He was tight at
the start, then he finally relaxed and he just
played great,"

“When Doc took me out with about 12
minutes left," recalled Ursprung, "1 was reat
upset with myself, He said,'don't worry
about your shot, just shoot it," f didn’t think
it would sink in, but maybe unconsciously it
sunk in, 1 just went out there and hit my next
shot and after that it just went my way:

After Potsdam cut the Danes’ lead to one
at 44-43 on a Pat Crawford shot, Dane point
guard Dan Croutier took over, scoring the
next four points to extend the Albany lead to
five, 48-43,

Crawford answered right back and team-
mate Roosevelt Bullock scored (o cut the
Albany lead to one, 48-47 with 3:18 left in the
game,

The Danes turned the ball over and gave
the Bears a chance to take the lead, But
following a missed shot, Crawford fouled
Ursprung, who responded by hitting the bot-
tom of the net on both of his foul shot at-
tempts,

Potsdam then got a break, as Ed
Okuniewski hit a lay-up and was fouled with
1:43 left, tying the score.

Albany set up the final shot of regulation,
‘a jump shot from deep in the corner by Dave
Adam at the buzzer, which missed to force
the overtime period.

‘The Danes wasted no time in the overtime,
Just 30 seconds elapsed off the clock when
Ursprung hit Wilson Thomas with a back
door pass which resulted in a layup. After
Crawford missed a layup of his own,
Croutier hit Ursprung with an identical back
door pass and Albany led $4-50 with 3:40 re-
maining.

‘The Danes played effective keepaway for
the rest of the game, When the Bears were
forced to foul them they hit the necessay foul
shots which accounted for the finial
ference of 62-56,

“The two quick baskets in overtime that
let us control it were important," said
Sauers. ‘I would have hated to chase them
around in four corners the way they had to
chase us around,"

In the first half neither team took charge as
Potsdam uncharacteristically walked the ball
upcourt on offense. This, along with a com-
bined 35 percent shooting from the field,
seemed to account for the low halftime score
of 23-22 in favor of Potsdam. But, in the se-
cond half, even when the Bears tried to.run
the score was also low (28-27 Albany).

“We know cach other's offenses too
Well,"" said Sauers, explaining the low scoring
game.

So now it is on to Oneonta Wednesda
night for the Danes. If they win it they will be

st one victory away from post-season com-
petition,

Four wrestlers qualify for NCAA tournament

By Mare Berman
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

In an impressive showing, four Albany
State westlets qualified for the National
Championships this past weekend when each
placed in the top three of their respective
weight classes at the SUNYACS held at
Potsdam.

‘The Danes, who placed fifth overall out of
the 8 SUNY teams present, will be sending
126 pound All-American Dave Averill, 118
pound freshman Shawn Sheldon, 158 pound
Jerry Clark, and 177 pound Sandy Adelstein
to the National Tournament, held this season
at Binghamton Feb, 24 and 25,

For Averill, this marks the third straight
year that he has qualified for the Nationals,
His second place finish doesn’t transcend last
year’s first place finish, but he wrestled in the
lighter 118 pound division in the 1983
SUNYACS,

Freshman Sheldon and sophomores Adels-
tein and Clark will all be wrestling in their
first National Tournament. Sheldon's second
place finish was expected, but for Adelstein,

who finished third, and Clark, who placed
second, their performances were a major sur-
prise to most of the SUNY coaches,

Albany State coach Joe DeMeo was more
pleased than surprised concerning the outing
of Clark, whose dual-meet record was a
dismal 2-7; “He did an outstanding job,"

said DeMco, ‘His maturing got better as the
‘Season went on,

‘A more somber mood hung over Averill's

second place finish. Averill was very disap-
pointed afterwards, as the two-time All-
‘American failed in his attempt for a first
place finish as he was defeated again by his
nemesis from Oneonta, Desmond Basnight,
in the finals,

Dave Averill was one of four wrestlers
to qualify for the National

After sweeping his quarterfinal’ and
semifinal matches handily, the Dane captain
‘met up against Basnight, who was responsi-
ble for Averill’s only defeat in the dual-meet
season. Basnight jumped out to a 4-0 lead in
first round, forcing Averill to change his

strategy.

“When I got down 4-0°early, it really mess-
ed me up," said Averill, “'I was going for the
win so I went for broke in trying to get the
pin and it cost me points."

When it was over, Averi
13-4 loser, but his confiden
broken.

“Sure, I'm very disappointed," said the
junior who graduated from nearby
Shenendchowa High School. “I thought 1
could take him and 1 still do, I hope I face
him in the Nationals."*

‘That rematch could very conceivably take
place in two weeks at Binghamton, but
Averill feels he will be better prepared then.

Besides the contrast in styles of the two,
Averill feels his biggest problem against
Basnight is the height factor, which usually
has no significance in wrestling. Basnight is a
lanky 5°10 while Averill stands at 5°6,

“He's like a spider,” said Averill."*He just
clings to you. Coach DeMco is going to work
with me all week in devising a new strategy
against him,"

Meanwhile, DeMeo might just have to
work with Sheldon on his ability of escaping
from the bottom,

Sheldon had a tougher time of it than
Averill in advancing to the finals, But once
he was there, Sheldon put up a magnificent
struggle before dropping a 5-4 decision to
Binghamton's John Leo. The two were tied
4-4 after the final buzzer had sounded, but
one point for riding time was tacked to Leo's

was far from

score to give the Colonial wrestler the vie-
tory.

Sheldon's highest point of the SUNYACs
was his upset semifinal triumph over top-
seeded Ed Morales of Brockport, 10-9.

117 pound ‘Adelstein had to survive in a
nailbiting match for him to qualify for the
Nationals.

After winning his quarterfinal match, he
met up with Binghamton All-American Tom
Pillari who solidly defcated him 10-1 and
later captured first place.

However, Adelstein bounced back to
defeat Buffalo's Doug Cowry in the semifinal
consolation, Then, in the third and fourth
consolation match, Adelstein held on for an
clectrifying 9-8 decision over Tim Slade from
Brockport.

‘The Dane sophomore ted throughout the
match, taking a 5-1 advantage after one
period, and bringing a 7-4 lead into the final
period,

But, Adelstein was tiring as Slade cut the
margin to 9-8 with 30 seconds to play on a
two-point takedown. It was at this point that
Adelstein bore down as Slade was unsuc-
cessful in his attempt to turn the Long Island
native off his stomach. As the last seconds
ticked off, Adelstein had survived a 9-8 deci-
ion and a berth to the Nationals,

Nadir, Albany Reviewoppose merger proposal

By John Keenan

The editor of the student publica-
tion Nadir is alarmed by a stigges
tion of Student Associatiin (SA)
controller Adam Barsky's that
Nadir be combined with The
Albany Review to save SA funds,

Although SA officials stress that
no decision has yet been made,
Nadir editor Michael Benson said
he is readying himself to fight what
he sees as an attempt to "kill" his
magazine, "Last spring there was a
big drive to kill Nadir, too," he ad-
ded
Michelle Krell, the editor of The
Albany Review, refused to com-
ment on the proposed merger,
although she did say that she was
against it. ‘He (Barsky) has very lit-

Worldview, which has changed
its name to Comity, is a political

committee met, sometime before
April. He did, however, explain
why he felt a merger would be
beneficial, saying that, “They can
go on for hours about how different
they are, but they are basically
meant for the same audience
(SUNYA students)."" He added that
“one bigger magazine would tend
to have better quality work. The
merging would mean more money
for the resulting publication."”

It would also, Barsky pointed
out, free Nadir from its require-
ment to make a certain amount of
money each year, something that

semester was $1250, It made about
$250,"" he added

‘Nadir appeared on the campus
during (inals week last semester,
Barsky added, citing this as one of
the reasons the magazine failed 10
sell well, Nadir was originally con-
ceived due to the fact that a group
of students felt that The Albany
Review (then known as Tangent)
was not representing the whole
spectrum of SUNY writers, aecor-
ding to Benson, Because Nadir was
the second such publicaiton, it was
given a minimum income line which
it was obliged to repay, in what
Benson describes as a “trade-off.”

“They were very resistant to the
idea of two literaly magazines,"
Benson said. ‘We have to conserve
more,” Barsky said, observing that
the to magazines fill similar needs,
unlike Nemesis, which has a dif-
ferent focus. “We don’t have the
funds to print both,” he stated,

Benson, on the other hand,
points out that Nadir is the only
creative publication on campus
which gives a medium to visual ar-
tists, such as photographers,
painters, or sketch artists,

“We've had three issues so f
he explained, adding “artistically,
we've been very successful, Profes-
sional wrtiers have commended me
on its quality.’

Both Benson and Knell stressed
that the competition between the
hwo magazines was a beneficial
thing, ‘Healthy competition serves
to increase quality,””. Benson said.
“IT you have a monopoly, quality
goes down, There’s 1a need for it,
because you have no competition.”

University officials have examin-
ed the Thruway House Hotel, on

news-
he recent brouhaha at tHe Slident Association over the

proposed formation. of the group Heterosexual

Allliance leaves one questioning how our top elected
Officials go about performing their duties. *

The issue of the group's recognition exploded into raging
Controversy due to the unwillingness and inability of student
leaders to communicate properly. The problem of H.A. of-
fending other groups on campus was resolved when a chance
meeting allowed leaders of.the opposing groups to.sit down
as rational people and work the problem out upfront. A few
telatively simple alterations, involving changing the group's
ame and rewording two lines of its constitution, were ai
complished without the ald of our Student Association
leaders,

So what are they there for?

_ About two weeks ago, posters appeared on the podium of-
ferring students the opportunity to “revive dying social life,””
and “'to have fun," Today, the organizers of that drive have
exactly what they wanted, What occured between then and
now was a mess of confusion, waste, and poor leadership,

In one of the first of several failures to communicate, the
leaders of H.A. believed that SA President Rich Shaffer
platined to invalidate the group's temporary recognition
when in fact he was only notifying them as to when his deci
sion on permanent recognition ‘would be made.

Rumours quickly spread about campus, and Shaler found
himself facing pressure from several University officials and
leaders of the Gay and Lesbian Alliances on one hand, and

¢ threat of a lawsuit from H.A: and the American Civil
ey Union on the other. Hé quickly decided to deny the
group permanent recognition. In the meantime, Jeff
Schneider, turned to Indian Quad Board (o rally for Central
Council members support of the group.

If’ Schneider was so enthusiastic about getting H.A.
started, why did he avoid consulting with Schaffer? And if
the solution to the problem was so easily achieved, why did
Schaffer so hastily resort to denying the group recognition?

Through his position as vice-president, Schneider pro-
moted the creation of H.A., assisting in organizing the group
and developing its constitution. If. his intentions for ad-
‘vocating the group were sincere, why didn't he sit down with
Schaffer and others involved and responsibly work out the
problems which existed before the controversy flared?

He was aware over a week ago that it was developing into a
sticky issue, He chose to shirk his duties as vice-president and
betray his own campaign platform of improving relations
with student groups, while operating behind the back of the
person he should have been working most closely with,

‘At the same time, Schaffer's handling of the issue was
equally disappointing. He was also well aware last week of
the potential (rouble H.A. posed, and of Schneider's role in
iding and advocating the group. Yet he too avoided con-
sulting his coworker, casting serious doubts on his profes-
sionalism and leadership abilities.

The bottom line is that, instead of fulfilling their duties as
student leaders, Schaffer and Schneider consciously played
some sort of immature political game, helping no one and

- EDITORIAL _———_—_-
What dre they there for?

‘Another question raised by this episode is the role the Gay
and Lesbian Alliance played in being allowed to dictate the
resolution of the conflict. GALA had several very valid com.
plaints with the formation of H.A.; the original name and
constitution did connotate homophobic attitudes ani pos
ble infringement upon the rights of gays and lesbians, By
does that give them the right to determine the way which the
situation should be handled?

If our student, leaders had acted professionally, and if
Schaffer in particular had.not lost his perspective and bowed
‘50 hastily 1 the concerns of GALA, the leaders of H.A
would have never gone {0 the ACLU fo sue him, and he ob
viously need never have resorted to denying tive group
recognition,

‘One individual who seemed conspicuously absent from
this fiasco was SA Programming Director Rich Golubow,
whose job it is to resolve conflicts among SA groups. His
participation was limited to chiming in with Schaffer that
H.A. give up their hopes of becoming a group and work
something out with Middle Earth or Genesis, That Golubow
could not rise above the failure of his bosses was a sad addi
tion to this already sad episode,

Why did this whole unnecessary mess develop in SA? And
why, finally, were student leaders and Central Council of

ficials useless in resolving it? Why are they there anyway?

Perhaps students should begin keeping a sharper eye on
the students they elect to serve their interests. Maybe then

Black History Month part I

First of a two part article

It has often been asserted that African-Americans are un-
willing to. pull themselves up from their bootstraps,
therefore, resulting in massive social, economic, and
psychological problems for the Black community, Many con-
Servatives go even further and still cling to the ancient myth
or the inherent laziness and inate inferiority of African-
‘Americans. It is this type of attitude and atmosphere of
uneasiness that has permeated racial relations in America for
centuries; which, for the most part, is due to the institution
of slavery in America and the legacy of slavery which must be
challenged today.

Gerry Rolley

‘As millions of Americans across the nation commemorate
African-American History Month, we must continue to
‘uproot the cliches, myths, and false illusions which have im-
prisoned African-Americans in a cage of helplessness,
healthlessness, and hopelessness for too long, The well read
and honest of the human race know that the historical legacy
of slavery has severely dampened the dreams, digni
creativity, and aspirations of Afr
legacy that must be contested,

Talking to a friend recently, he hinted that the institution

‘of slavery was over years ago and that people should let
‘bygones be bygones, In response, I stated that although
African-Americans are no longer in physical bondage, we are
still trapped in the quicksand eke ‘mental, economic, and
social bondage, This bondage, ed, not only leads
‘African-Americans to the pan of poverty and despa
but it is now sucking both Blacks and Whites into the reser-
voir of misfortune and misery. Problems such as suicide in
the white community, which has practically quadrupled
within the past few decades, indicates that the social,
psychological, and moral effects ‘of slavery has greatly
disturbed American society, Challenging his views, I asked
him should American citizens forget about the American
Revolution where independence was in the making? Should
the Jewish community ignoré those sad moments in human
history where millions of innocent people were murdered?
Responding, he said no. Then, 1 muttered, you and t must
work conscientiously in eradicating the ill after effects of
slavery and hope for a better tomorrow,

African-American History Month presents an opportune
moment to, express the dire importance and unique
significance of the African-American's contribution to
humanity. Through seminars, art exhibits, entertainment
festivals, and other programs, attempts are being made to ex-
tinguish the legacy of slavery and brighten the future of
America.

For the most part, African-Americans have been left out
of history books, overlooked in science books, and ignored
in art books, Futhermore, the African-American's culture,
which is especially known for its fine food, abound athletic
ability, illuminating intelligence, magnificent: music, and
laudible leadership, is being eroded daily, due to unfortunate
circumstances, The thoughtful and industrious of the
African-American communtiy know that in an era of
heightening racial tensions one cannot applaude the sounds |
of superstar Sames Brown without applauding the sounds of
John, Brown, nor.can one clap to sounds of Evelyn ‘‘Cham-
pagne'’ King without clapping to the sounds of Martin

Americans; it is this

Luther King, and we surely should not scream and shout to
the sounds of Michacl Jackson without screaming and
shoouting to the sounds of Jesse Jackson. This is what
African-American History Month is all about.

Patriots such as Crispus Attucks, Frederick Douglass,
Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, Mary Mcloed
Bethune, W.E.B, Dubois, Elijah Muhammed, Malcom X,
among a host of others, have played a significant role in
shaping American history. Some educators and historians
have gone a step further and argue that African-Americans
have not only shaped American History through demanding
liberty and justice for every citizen but actually made the
United States what it is today. They argue, to the dismay of
many, that it was neither Weber bureaucratic theories or
‘Adam Smith's economic principles that made America the
‘most respected natign in the world. On the contrary, it was
upon the blood, sweat, and tears of African-Americans that
provided the labor, raw materials, and profits which laid a
Polished foundation for this great country.

Let us look briefly at this peculiar institution, its repercus-
sions, and the African- American's response to it. The castra-
tion of African-Americans, and the resulting problems of
self-identity and inner rage started more than three hundred
and fifty years ago when the first of our injured race were
brought to the shores of America. Stripped bare both
Psychologically and physically, placed in an alien land,
African-Americans became chattle property, just like

not with their own consent, to find an unmolested enjoyment

The slave in the United States had no rights except those
granted by his master, In contrast to the liberal policies of

manumission operating in the Spanish and Portuguese co
onies, there were strong legal structures against frecing
slaves, especially following the abolition of the slave trade in
1810, Slaves could not own property nor buy their (reedom,

masters often remained slaves,

leeting The Beatles ..

by Jerry Campione

“It was 20 years ago today . . .

How often will we hear those words this year! After
all, it is 20 years since the Beatles first set foot in
America, February 7, 1964, Most of us were less than
three years old, Yet, who can honestly say, they've
never felt some impact by the Beatles, be it good or
bad?

“I wanna hold your hand,” the Beatles sang in 1964,
and it all seemed so innocent, Here they were, four
young men with long (?) hair and collarless suits who ar-
rived to sweep young girls off their feet and charm their
Way into the hearts of Americans. And this they did
Why, they even got stonefaced Ed Sullivan to smile

Suddenly, as if a floodgate had opened, the Beatles
were everywhere. CLICK! The Beatles on Ed Sullivan
CLICK! The Beatles in Washington, D.C. CLICK! Back
to New York for two shows at Carnegie Hall. CLICK!
Miami and still another Sullivan appearance. Within
one month the Beatles had done what it took other
groups (With the possible exception of Elvis) years to do
— conquer America

Everyone jumped on the Beatle bandwagon, Radio
stations such as WINS and “W A Beatle C” in New York
gave up fo the minute reports on the Beatles’ activities.
All of a sudden, it was "9:30 Beatle-time” and “62
Beatle-degrees” outside, Woolworth’s raked in large
amounts of money selling “Beatle Wigs," the alternative
to growing your hair longer in conservative 1964

Nineteen sixty-four was a banner Beatle year. The
whole story started years before (1956, to be exact) and
1962 was their breakthrough year in England. But 1964
was definitely the biggest. Due‘to the fact that America
was two years behind in music releases, the Beatles
were all over the charts, Six albums and ten singles in
one year alone. That's more than some chart-busting
bands put out in a career — remember Boston?

But the Beatles were there with more than just the
music, 1964 featured a motion picture (critics called
them the next Marx Brothers), a book by their leader
(John Lennon's In His Qwn Write), and numerous con
cert appearances, with over 70,000 attending at Shea
Stadium alone

“Tell Me Why,” the Beatles asked, yet no one could
No one could explain the reason why the Beatles took
off like they did, “They're just different,” is what one fan

in February 1964. “American singers are so clean
added another, There was a struggle outside
hotels to touch a Beatle, or at least to see a Beatle
Police commented on how it was never like this, not

even for kings and queens {

But the Beatles were more than kings, they were
idols, Renco, a toy company, made dolls of them and
girls bought them as though they were religious sym-
bols. Bubblegum cards became instant collectors’ items,
and fan magazines became required feading.”

But the Beatles didn't nate ater their initial suc-
cess like some bands do they continued to
grow. “Yesterday,” released in 1965, was nothing like
“She Loves You" of the year befow Yet both hit No. 1
on the charts, And “Nowhere Man’ (1966) was nothing
like “Yesterday,” yet it too c he charts. Why?

One reason was that the Beatles didn't lock
themselves into an image. They gw. They didn't want
to be 21 forever. They knew they would grow up, and
their music grew with them. "\ m 64," Is a perfect
example, Some day (yes. leallesanlacs), Paul Mc:

The Beatles’ effect or following in their
footsteps in the British inva mmeasurable. For
instance, did you know

that the Rolli first chart record
was a cover of a Beatles Wanna Be Your
Man?’

that half of the sof Billy J. Kramer
and the Dakotas were cre« nnon-McCartney?

that other top !: ups who recorded
Beatle-penned songs inclucl Jand Gordon, the
Fourmost, and Cream?

that between | | 1969, 21 songs

were recorded by other arts shat wdre never recorded

by the Beatles, although they wrote the songs?

that the television series “The Monkees”
was inspired by the movie “Help!?”

The list could go on and on

In 1970, “The Long and Winding Road” came to an
end, The group, once referred to by Paul as being “real
ly the same person. We're Just four paris of the one
had irideed become four parts.

But the influence didn’t stop. They've now been apart
longer than they were together, yet they still sell millions
of records each year. “Beatlefest '84” was a sell-out in
New York, and albums that have been released since
1970 have easily sold as many copies as albums releas
ed by some working bands today

December of 1980 will probably be remern
much as February of 1964, for it was in Dec
1980 that many dreams came to an end with Jobn Len
non's murder, and any hopes for the long-awaited reu

jon were dashed. People who hoped to meet just one
of the Beatles lost their chance to meet the most access
ble of the four

Although a reunion is no longer possible, perhaps it's
better that way. What we have now is a perfect catalog
of the Beatles. Even the horrible recordings of the
Beatles in Hamburg in 1962 are perfect, because we
know they're 22 years old. We can accep! poor quality
It's the Beatles

What would have happened if the Beatles stayed
together? Or reunited? Perhaps it would have tarnished
a sterling reputation.

Here itis, 20 years after they arrived. Today, kids go
out and buy Beatle albums they never heard of and
treat them as new records, Maybe that's the best part
Many of the Beatles’ records are still better than much of
today's new music

It's good to know that when one gets tired of all the
techno-pop that's being fed to us from all directions to:
day, one can look in the record cabinet and take out a
Beatles album

It's fitting that on the twentieth anniversary of their ar-
rival, 8 Paul McCartney record was slowly moving
down the charts (after a healthy stay at No. 1), while a
new John Lennon record worked its way up. It proves
on thing — the Beatles will always be here.

Nicholas Schaffner put it best in the title of his 1977
book — "The Beatles Forever.” ia}

With war-torn Britain as the backdrop:
The Dresser follows Sir and Norman to thelr

The remainder of The Dresser focuses on

Tom Courtenay is Norman, and as the ti
tle would suggest, the film really belongs to
him, Courtenay understands this ond uses
his Broadway experience (he originated the
role in England) to further the emotional
depth of the character. Norman hides
behind the small, protected. world of the
theater rather than face what kes just beyond
the foyer doors. He takes equal pride in a

id performance. Even though he receives
none of the glory, Norman would have it no
other way. and only asks Sir’s acknowledge

Despite Courtenay’s occasional lapses into
overacting and plain silliness

Not to be outdone is Albert Finney as Sir

assimilate into any role. His previous por

impressive resume of characters played

In Finney's capable hands, Sir resolves to
become the ultimate actor. no matter what

without humor, When asked if he dislikes

viewer has grown accustomed to: "How can

In addition, Finney owns several of the

most infriguing and memorable scenes in
The Dresser. The best example of this would
be the scene in which Sir races for the train
station, with company In tow, to caich the
train to their next location. Norman runs
ahead of the entourage to beg the conductor
to wait for the others and is told that the train
will wait for no one. It will eave on schedule.
Norman stands dumbfounded as the train
begins to pull away. Sir realizes what is hap-

cane to the sky. and deeply bellows
“stop...that...train!" Of course. the train

Surrealist artists’ notion of discovering art at
a level below consciousness

As one views this series it becomes ap:
parent that individual interpretation is essen
tial. since Motherwell extends from the
French Symbolist poet, Mallarme, believing
thal the effect a painting produces is more
important than the actual painting process
itself. Perhaps Rorschach, the famous
psychologist, would consider analyzing
Motherwell's “ink blots” to discover the
themes submerged in his subconscious.

as the colors of her works are vibrant and
plentiful, and are mostly on large canvases.
One could spend hours studying one of her
paintings and still leave with as much uncer.
tainty and intrigue as I did, for she paints
with great detail

With titles like "Medical Mystery Series,"
“Drop Your Pants, the Doctor Will See You

(Emergency Room, in my book of
anagrams), Blechman ‘is obviously making
statements about the medical field. Each
painting is set ike a stage, has lights beaming
down, colorful knives, stairs leading
nowhere, operating beds, and even beach
umbrellas.

Confused? You're not alone. It would be
interesting to meet with Blechman to find out
what's behind all this mystery.

Allen Grindle also paints in an abstract
form, yet with more identifiable symbolism
than Motherwell. and Blechman. Grindle
uses oil on large canvases each of which is
cut into a differer geometric shape. He in-
tertwines the slu, of the canvas and the
subject matter being painted, thus presenting
an interesting perspective to the painting,

To enhance the music of Touch, the
Eurythmics use a few studio musicians in-
cluding bassist Dean Garcia, Martin Dobson
on baritone sax, and Dick Cuthell, of
Specials’ and Special A.K.A. fame. on
horhs. While on tour, they bring along an
eight-plece band to make the sound more
alive and personal

The album starts off with one of the two
singles spawned from this effort, “Here
Comes the Rain Again.” This 's easily the
catchlest song on the LP, and a good bet to
go as far on the charts as "Sweet Dreams"
did. There is a great Interplay of Lennox’s

lead and backing vocals, as she ctoons her
hopelessly romantic lyrics that will no doubt
be sung by housewives, corporate heads,
and litle kids alike in| weeks to come.
Michael Kayman and the British Philhar-
monle Orchestra provide the dreamy strings,

{You just can't help but love this song,

“Right By Your Side" 's the other single
released and It Is also a potential hit. It has
the second hit potential that “Love is a
Stranger” fulfilled. Dave Stewart put
together sort of a crazy, mixed-up tune with
seemingly random synthesizer tracks,
whistles, and wild chants, but he must have
had the right formula, because the result is a
{song that has been on the top of the U.K
jecord and club charts for weeks. Once
‘again Lennox sings some pretty corny love
verses, but provides rich, soulful vocals to
give the cut some feel." Stewart adds. a
Spanish flavor guitar accent, and Cuthell
‘and Dobson provide the brass

The rest of the album Is chock {ull of
diverse, interesting, and enjoyable songs.
“Cool Blue” Is an upbeat, funky dance
number featuring solid basswork by Garcia,
which could turn up on club dance floors in
the near future, “Who's That Girl?” is the
sleeper on the LP. It’s a slow-paced, emo-
tional tune which is preity and catchy, and
eventually picks up into a moderate dance
song. It's the type of song that can really
grow on you. Other strong cuts include the
slower, funky “Aqua” with Its soft, at times
whispering, vocals by Lennox, and solid
bassline by Garcia, and “First Cut", a good
synthpop tune which changes speeds nice:
ly, has a catchy lead, good subtle use of
guitar, and emotionally charged lyrics. On
"No Fear, No Hate. No Pain, (No Broken
Hearis)", Lennox puts out her all, as she
belts out a slow soul number which would do
Aretha Franklin proud.

Overall, Touch 1s an extremely strong
creative effort by the Eurythmics, They've
taken @ very sOccessful sound one step fur-
her, as they increased their diversity and
depth and utter emotion to a new height,
“The more you experiment, the more you
discover,” philosophizes Lennox. “And you
just don't stop, Creativity is an ongoing pro-
cess." Let's hope so, because the best could

Most of Grindle's works are painted with
brown, deep red, and black, while some
have fierce reds and oranges which lend
energy to the dismal feeling of the darker col:
ors. One work, “Swimmers,” depicts a man
and woman in an ocean, taking on the
shapes bf the waves. The figure on the bot-
tom is painted. in an unnatural state; he
seems to be drowning

Grindle's other themes included storms.
fire, and death. His talent did not stand out
in any way, for the only thing at all im-
pressive was the way he made the flames in
“Tornado” look as if hey were flying out of a

window. I doubt this will win him any great
‘marks in art history books, though

Overall, the exhibit is worthwhile to visit,
and offers works for a variety of tastes in con-
temporary art. Whether you prefer to view
simplistic scenes, analyze “ink blots,” or
figure out the mystery behind someone's
paintbrush, the Art Gallery has it all. Stop In

This is not an unreasonable expectation, and it is true

our income is dependent upon the sale of french baked

theless, our words were for naught. Controller Barsky, as the
club's president was told, had other people with whom to
speak, and regardless of the club's circumstances, he would
not help us. Furthermore, the budget would remain frozen
until half the amount present on our income line was submit-
ted to SA.

The only obvious solution is to take the money from our
own pockets, However, I don't feel that it is right to expect
the members of our organization to contribute large funds of
their own, and somehow, I suspect that Controller Barsky
would not reach into his own pocket to help, if, hypothetical-
ly, SA had similar financial difficulties. 1 will not make to
Controller Barsky an impassioned accusation of

We've no chance to place at rest those figures waiting so im-
patiently on our income line. A popular slogan of the Stu-
dent Association on this campus is “‘Let SA work for you."”
Well, Controller Barsky, please tell us how,

Uncivic center

To the Editor:

President O'Leary's latest attempt at self-aggrandizement
involves the proposed Civic Center. As a SUNYA faculty
member and as @ resident of the neighborhood he plans to

Who's going 10 pay for the consequences of O'Leary's
edifice complex? He has admitted 10 @ cost of $25 million,

nd that figure doesn't include the inevitable cost overruns.
Regardless of whether the Civic Center is financed by the
federal state or local government, it is the already over-
burdened taxpayer who will pay. Also, ! wouldn't be surpris
ed to see students eventually forced 10 assume some of the
costs.

The proposed Civic Center is one more illustration of the
ow priority O'Leary places on education at SUNYA, Our
students are forced to take large lecture classes and are closed
out of courses because we don't have enough teachers, we
have a shortage of classroom space, our library is understaff-
ed and doesn't have enough books, while O'Leary is trying (o
get $25 million for a Civic Center,

Most of the people in my neighborhood are vehemently
opposed to the Civic Center. We know that we're going (0
suffer from the noise, the crowds, the traffic congestion and
the automobile pollution. And to add insult to injury, as tax-
payers we'll be forced to help finance the destruction of our
neighborhood. SUNYA has always enjoyed good relations
with the surroudning community, Why spoil that :now?

— Carol Waterman

Respect others

To the Editor:

“Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time, in you?"
Shakespeare, Twelfth Night.

The persons who remove, write upon or otherwise deface
the posters placed upon podium bulletin boards might ask
themselves that question. Campus groups expend money and
energy planning and advertising the wide-range of co-
curricular events occurring on this campus. When posters
and flyers are marred or removed prior to the date of an ac-

event advertisement, Respect for the cultural, ethnic,
religious and racial diversity present at SUNY is a central
aspect of this campus’ life, That is a primary theme of a ma-
jor event occuring February 27-March 3, World Week.
Task simply that persons leave removal of posters and
flyers from podium bulleting boards to the individuals who
bear responsibility for that task.
James P, Doellefeld
Director of Campus Life

Love it or leave it

To the Editor:

It's disgusting these days to live in a society where the only
people who get 10 voice their opinions are left wing socialists
and communist sympathizers. Being liberal has gotten so
fashionable that young people have lost their sense of values
1, for one, am proud to be an American citizen and 1am sick
of hearing bleeding heart newspapers spreading leftist ideals
that downplay the greatest nation the world has ever seen.

Red-baiting

To the Editor:

So Timothy L, Taylor writes but yet another letter, Good
for him! But just one moment please, things seem to be going
from bad (o worse, z

Taylor initially wrote a letter to the ASP criticizing campus
socialists groups (DSA & YSA). I have no qualm with that,
it’s certainly his right to express his opinion, Prof, Wittner
responded to Taylor's article, offering his opinion on the
matter. He has rights too, Then Taylor wroter yet another
letter (his rights again), to which Prof. Wittner and I both
felt compelled to respond to, Well wouldn't you know he
wrote another letter; can you believe it? I hope at this point
you're following me, needless to say I'm responding again,
But this time I'm displeased and upset,

1 know I really shouldn't accuse Taylor of red-baiting in
his last article, seeing as how he did that a long time ago. But
events have gone (00 far now, and its truly a shame (oo,
Specifically, Taylor quotes me as referring to ‘‘capitalist im-
perialism'’ regarding the foreign economic policies of the
Western industrial powers, particularly the U.S. I have no
problem with that, sceing as that is what I said, and believe.
No, that's not the problem, The problem lay in the fact that
in the same sentence he says that such a phrase as ‘capitalist
imperialism'* is often used by the Soviet news agency, Tass,
Just what is he trying to say? 1 think we all know.

What had been a respectable exchange of opinions in the
ASP, has now decayed into a forum for immature insinua-
tions, and what truly should be called red-baiting, Aaaagh!
How tasteless. Taylor, it seems, shall never be a scholar. Is a
sity Loo. Personally, I believe his letters aren’t worthy of be-
ng printed in the ASP, Of course, that's for the ASP to

Psych out

To the Editor:

Recently, a walled-in obstruction has been built in front of
LC 21. Bearing the legend, “KEEP OUT" in bright red in-
dustrial stencil, one cannot but wonder whether some bizarre
experimentation upon live animals is being carried out, or is,
It perhaps a.mass-psychological experiement being carried
out on the unwitting populace of this university? Strategical-
ly placed in the hatlways in front of a large window, one can
plainly see from numerous vantage points that there is
nothing whatsoever contained within this enclosure. This br-
ings us to present a hypothesis: Is the psychology department
(or some other body) using tactics of deception by placing
this obstacle in the midst of our everyday traffic as part of an
experimental study for purposes at which one can only
guess? If the focus of this study is 10 evoke a public response
of outrage, then the game is over and the bluff has been call-
ed, What other purpose can these structures serve beside
their imposition on our otherwise harried passage between
classes? We urge the immediate cessation of this situation,
Give the hallways back to the students!

Barroom brawls

To the Editor:

In response to the article “Albany Bar Owners" (page 7) in
the Feb. 14 issues, we would like to praise your article for in-
vestigating aggressive behavior in Albany bars. Mr.
Sabatino's comments showed him most knowledgeable
about this serious problem.

However, we found Long Branch owner Bob Boor's com-
ments showed a serious lack of understanding of the problem
of bar room violence, We also found it disturbing that the
ASP would present such a biased and ignorant view

As quoted from the article, Bob Boor feels that alcohol is
not the triggering mechanism of aggressive behavior, Mr.
Boor ¢ an emphasis on “very aggressive screening"
al the door, He also claims that his staf can “tell a lot fron
person’s eyes" as to whether they will be potential fighters.

How can anyone so close to this problem haye a view so
distant from this very same situation? We lived directly
above the Long Branch all of last year and we sev the pro-
blem quite differently. Our housemate's Volkswagon, while
parked directly: in front of the Long Branch on Washington
Avenue, had its roof stomped in, and on another occasion
the car itsell was completely flipped over in the parking lot
behind the Long Branch, Both of these events occured on
Tuesday nights, which coincidentally was the night of the 75
cents mixed drink special from 9 p.m, to midnight, A large
majority of Tuesdays and other busy nights of the week,
there are major brawls inside the Long Branch, Apparently
Mr, Boor's “very aggressive screening” policy and his
psychic staff do not deter potential and actual brawlers,

We strongly urge the staff of the ASP to seek more credi-
ble sources of information when reporting on subjects as
relevant and important as this. Thank you,

—John Manta,

Women swimmers set
for SUNYAC competition

By Michael Skonick

STAFF WRITER
‘Completing their second season
under the guidance of Head Coach
Joe Shore, the women's swimming
team heads into this weekend's
SUNYAC championships at
Geneseo as a confident favorite.
They finished their season at 14-1,
an oustanding season in which
‘many new records were set and ex-
pectations were surpassed,

In the next-to-last meet of the
season the team battled Onconta
and came away with an casy
64,5-39.5 victory. The highlight of
this meet was the 200 yard freestyle
race in which the team of Janet
Bowman, Carol Pearl, Carole Elie
and Kris Monahan qualified for the
NCAA individual championships
with @ time of 1:44.06, a full two
seconds better than any other relay
team, Tt is a dual honor for
Bowman who also qualified in the
100 yard butterfly. Jane Klotz, the
team's outstanding diver will ‘also
be a representative. This year is also
the first in which Albany has sent
anyone to the nationals and it is the
first time a relay team has qualified.

The final meet of the season was
last Saturday against Middlebury
and the team won handily, 76-49. It
was an especially good afternoon
for Elie, as she won both the 100
yard butterfly and the 100 yard
freestyle in times of 1:05.03 and
0:57.71. The time in the butterfly
(knocked a full two seconds off her
\previous best time, The meet also

marked the final meet for team cap-
tain Caroline Scharlock who has
swum at Albany for four successful
years.

As far as the SUNYACs are con.
cerned, Shore's outlook is op-
timistic. He said, ‘We're going up
against the best of our competition
and we will be highly seeded. 1 ex-
Pect that most of the competition
will come from Potsdam, Geneseo
and Oswego, all of whom we
haven't swum against this year.""

Pearl, one of the team's outstan-
ding swimmers, is quietly confi-
dent. ‘It's going to be tough
because the competition will be
stiff," she said, “But if we keep our
cool and can be mentally prepared,
| think we have a good chance to
win." Mary Anne Schmidt echoed
Pearl's sentiments, noting, “1 think
it comes down to the mental aspect
of swimming, We've had a great
dual meet season and the
SUNYACS are like the playoffs for
tus. We know the talent is there, so
we just have to want to win,”

With a 14-1 record team could
soon be celebrating a SUNYAC
championship.

Last Friday the Albany State men's indoo.

over the Cardinals in head-to-head action.
Running unopposed in several events, the
Danes very nearly tripled Platisburgh’s score
(100-37) on the way to racking up their sixth
siraight dual-meet victory.

Extending his undefeated streak to cight
meets, master thrower Mare Mercurio made
a bid to become the most consistent com-
petitor on the improving Dane track squad.
Mercurio won the 35-Ib, weight throw with a
strong effort measured at 49°3.25"", Mercurio

junior Bill Waring went 1-2 in both the long
and triple jumps. Mance won the triple ju

Red-hot captain Ed McGill got the crowd
warmed up when he blew past Plattsburgh
star Bill Ferreri in the last 60 meters of the
1300-meter run, McGill's excellent time of
4:02.3 is a personal best because the race was
his first attempt at the mile-equivalent
distance, Questioned after the meet Ferreri
exclaimed, “I was really shocked when he
beat me out. I didn't think he could run like
that, but 1 watehed him do it, so you have to

Albany's Bartosik finished second in :38.8.
The 44400 relay of Callari, Johnison, Sac-

Albany's distance squad also did well Fri

The Albany State men's swimm:

wound down their diial meet’ seaon
With victories over Binghamton and
Union last week,

The Danes, now 7-5, topped
Binghamton 66-45, to surpass (he
500. mark. Albany was able to
maintain stich a healthy lead while
experimenting with some new eom-
binations and taking a look at some
younger swimmers,

Benefiting from this stratexy: was
Mark Lebowitz, who turned in a
personal best of 25:35 in the $0 free,
Coach Joe Shore priased Lebowitz,

Greenbaum excels

Fred Greenbaum, ‘the Danes’
premier sprinter, was given a taste
Of the tough life, ay he swam in the
1000 free. Alhouh a far ery froma
sprint, Greenbaum was up to par,
as he swam a personal best of
11:10,29. He also took a third place
finish in the 200 fly, another rave to
which he was not accustomed to.

Though Coach Shore juggled his
lineup heavily, he still relied on the
usual combination to secure a vi
tory, Tom Handy, a consistent pe
former all season, won both the 200
‘and 500 freestyle events, with times
of 1:54.11 and 5:16.19, Ted Ober,
as usual, took the 200 breaststroke
with a time of 2:22.98

However, it way the 200
backstroke that sealed the victory
for the Danes, as the team of Jeff
Kennedy, Mike Wright, and Jeff
Ball swept the event,

Later in the week, Albany stayed
hot, as they defeated Capital

District rival Union handily by a
ount of 64-37, For some of the
Danes, it way final chance to
qualify. for the SUNYAC Cham-
pionships, Lebowitz broke the per-
sonal best time in the 50 free that he
set against Binghamton, but. fell

Doug Kerreses also carned a
SUNYAC spot, with a time of

Kennedy enjoyed a fine day, as
he won the 400 f.m, and turned in a
seasonal best split in the 400 medley
relay,

Frank Cauley, one of Albany's
top distance swimmers all season,
won the 1000 free with a great time

The Albany State women's basketball
‘cam bowed out of playoff contention Tues
day night when they dropped a 72-S8 decision
to Oneonta. The loss in the SUNYAC
Regional leaves the team with a 15-9 record
on the year

The Danes had qualified for the first-ever
women's SUNYAC playoffs by finishing
fourth in the Eastern Conference behind
Oncoma, Plautsburgh, and Binghamton:
Albany was just coming off of an exciting
weekend in which they eaphured the Capital

With only six minutes in the game, Albany
found themselves up by only six, 41-35. No
need for heroics; some solid basketball would
do just fine, In came Corley, Curtis Oliver
and Rich Chapman, three players that Coach
Boland relies on when it counts.

First Oliver connected for two; Chapman
followed with his own basket, With the
Danes up by ten, Hamilton had no choice but
to foul, and when it comes to foulshooting,
the Danes make no mistakes. In the last (wo

Free throws to seal the victory.

¢ Danes execute on offense, no
opponent is safe. Unfortunately, the team
hasn't been executing of late, With the depar-
ture of shooting guard Andy O'Connell, the

side, Oliver and Chapman are expected to
bear the brunt of the scoring load, but they
can't score if they don't get the ball, “We
didn’t hit them inside," said Boland, “We

126-Pound Junior Dave Averill

Averill, a junior, capped All-American
honors in his first two years at Albany State
when he placed seventh both times in the 118
pound division, (An eighth place finish or
better qualifies a wrestler for All-American
honors.)

Presently wrestling in the 126-pound
Weight class, Averill wil be going up against
opponents from all over the nation that not
only has he never wrestled, but has never

Averill i the guys are bigger and
stronger but that doesn’t bother me, Last

down constantly, but this year | don't have to

Averill is aiming to surpass his previous
two seventh place finishes, but said he
doesn't want to make any predicitons conce
ning whether he could wind up number one.

“My first concern is winning my first three
matches on Friday which would assure me of
All-American honors," said the junior 126
pounder, ‘Then on Saturday, I'll start think:
ing about number one.”

Averill has only lost 10 one opponent this
season, Desmond Basnight from Oneonta,
who shut out the Dane captain in the dual
‘meet season and outpointed him in the finals
of the SUNYACs,

And posing an even larger threat is Trenton
College's Orland Caseras, who goes into the
tournament favored to take first place,

Averill is in his finest physical condition of
the season, His minor knee ailment is com-

pletely healed due in part to the light prac
tices Coach DeMeo impJemented this week.
118-Pound Freshman Shawn Sheldon

Sheldon, a freshman who graduated from
Voorhesville High School, is confident of his
chances of carning All-American honors.
Judging by his brilliant second-place showing
in the SUNYACS, Sheldon has a good shot of
finishing higher than Averill in their respec-
tive weight classes.

“My goal is (o place in the top four,"
Sheldon, “i'm pretty confident I'll qu
for an All-American.””

Two weeks ago at the SUNYACs, Sheldon
forged into the finals and faced
Binghamton’s premier 118-pounder, John
Leo, Sheldon was narrowly defeated 5-4 in a
match as close as they come. The score read
4-4 after regulation but one point was tacked
on to Leo's total for riding time.

Leo is one of the favorites to capture the tk

might have £0 deal with is Bob Tanerillo of
Ithaca, Sheldon, however, did upset
Tanerillo at the Empire State Games in the

Sheldon js also heading into the tourna-
‘ment with a slight edge, Each practice this
week he has been wrestling Averill, who
should sharpen his skills.

177-Pound Sophomore Sandy Adelstein

Unfortunately for Adelstein, he is wrestl-
ing in a division that features Bighamton's
star Tony Pillari. Pillari is a heavy favorite to
win the title and could play a role in knocking

Tuition hike protest draws sparse attendance

By Jim O'Sullivan
UAL ASSISTANT

About 60 enthusiastic students gathered on
the podium outside the Campus Center Mon-
day to protest Governor Mario Cuomo's

planned tuition hike:

Student Action Committee Chair Steve
Gawley expressed disappointment with the
size of the rally, but said, ‘“it was more vocal
than we expected,”

but that then it would have conflicted with

Gawley said,

Gawley agreed with Rothschild’s reasons
for the low attendance, and noted that the
rally was scheduled to start at 11:15, which is
also the time a class period begins,

Nuala Drescher, President of New York
State United University Professors, the union
which represents SUNY professors, was the
first speaker at the rally,

Prociaiming ‘‘what hurts you hurts us,"”
Drescher told the crowd that UUP ‘was

Drescher also told the crowd not to forget
that this is an clection year and that many
legislators are subject to greater pressure as a
result,

Vice President of the SUNYA chapter of
UUP Larry Wittner began his speech with a
recollection of the formation of UUP, and
said, ‘students also have to learn where their
interests fie and act together." He said that
the rich’ are in favor of budget and staff cuts,

Rothschild was quick to point out however,
that the rally was the first one in several
years, ‘'There hasn't been a rally like that on

ined, and called for stronger student unity.

Student Association of the State University
President Jim Tierney spoke next, saying
“there is a'need for more student activism."
He also said that the ‘almost one million
SUNY graduates”? were proof that the system
works and is worth fighting for.Tierney said
that if the increases were approved, tuition
would have increased 47 percent in two years.
He also pointed out to the crowd that the in-
flation rate for that period was less than ten
percent,

Noting that this is an election year, Tierney,
called for students to use their votes to fight
the proposed hikes, ‘We're going to register
and we're going to vote,”” he promised. “In

Surveys have shown that living off-campus is cheaper

For the past two years, the issue of off-campus housing

years ago rents were steadily increasing, commented

ing on-campus should be comparable to living off-campus

landlords require of their tenants.

“Therefore, if dorm rates go up so will rent, This may be

permits students to defer all payments as long as your
loan is being processed, but landlords want cash up front,
This may tend to limit a student's choices,"" she added.

The possibility of a bus fee could raise the cost of living
for those off-campus students without cars and Karlson
noted that fewer students now have cars at school. The
surveys indicated that $5 percent of the students had cars
last year while 80 percent had cars the year before,
However, the instances of car pooling have dramatically
increased, said Karlson. 19 percent of the students drove
to school with friends two years ago, as compared to 44
percent who did last year.

The surveys pointed out that in recent years it has been
the trend for landlords to not include utilities in the mon-
thly rent, Karlson maintained, ‘‘the main reason for this
is that students raise the heat to very high levels when they
are not directly paying for it."" 6) percent of the students
in the survey had to pay a separate utility bill, However,
Moltaire, who has been a landlord of both houses and
apartments for twenty years still includes untilities in
monthly bills. “Students are usually pretty good about
the heat. If they are hiking it up too high, I find that it’s
usually not intentional."

Albany County's anti-grouper law prohibits more than
three unrelated people living under the same roof.
However, said Karlson, this law is not strictly enforced as
Jong as tenants do not become a problem.

Karlson pointed out that Albany has an extremely low
vacancy level. “Only 1.5 to 2 percent of the housing is
unoccupied, whereas in other cities this size, 10 percent of
the housing is unoccupied,"” Moltaire agreed, saying that
every year the demand for housing increases, The apart-
ment pool is limited, said Karlson, who added, “If
students don't get a house by March 1, campus paranoia
sets in because students think there is nothing left, This is
hardly the case."”
