Hofstra’s last minute TD shocks Danes, 35-32

SPORTS HOITOR
Hempstead, NY

It was Hofstra’s ball, fourth and four
from the Great Dane 13-yard line. The
Hofstra Stadium scoreboard showed 1:47
remaining with the visitors on top 32-28.

Albany State was sitting on a golden op-
portunity to knock off the undefeated and

Long Island school and prove

jon III critics that the Dane's
3-4 record had something to do with their
rugged schedule consisting of three Divi-
sion If foes, But it was all hedging on this
fourth down play.

Dutchmen quarterback Jim McLaughlin
took the snap and faded into the pocket as
he had done all afternoon. On this play,
he had more time than usual to look for hi
receiver. And the whole stadium knew
which player he was seeking - the record-
setting Emil Wohlgemuth, who already
had seven catches on the day.

The senior split end was in the process of
executing a down and out pattern wo
yards deep in the end zone. Wohigemuth
made his cut, but it didn't fool Dane's
safety Wayne Anderson. He stuck right
with his man, waiting to bat down any fly-
ing object that came his way.

‘Anderson never got to touch the flying
object, McLaughlin's pass was arched
high and sailed over the head of the
sophmore safety,seemingly too far for
Wohlgemuth to reach. For a millisecond,

looked like the Danes were going to beat
the nation’s sixth ranked team.

But in these past (wo seasons, the foot-
ball has not been behaving too kindly for
Coach Bob Ford and his Purple Gang.
Wohlgemuth leaped up, extended his right
arm as high as possible, and deflecied the
ball up in the air, The Hofstra Stadium
burst into victory celebration as they wat-
ched the ball sink into Wohlgemuth's
Brasp.

“1 think the sun is shining on us,"" ex-
claimed Hofstra’s Head-coach Mickey
Kwiatkowski, ‘We dodged the bullet to-
day, That ball bounces off the wrong way

‘Said a disappointed Coach Ford, “1
thought we were going to win. We sure as
hell had enough opportunities."”

‘The Danes thought they had wrapped up
a victory when freshman Kerry Carroll
returned an interception 76 yards for a
touchdown with six minutes left in the

game. The score would have put the Danes
up 39-28, The way their defense was fired
up in the last quarter, the lead probably
would have stuck. But the score was
nullified because of a clipping penalty.

The Danes blew another opportunity to
score when freshman quarterback Jeff
Russell failed to execute a handoff at the
Hofstra half-yard line.

“I's probably the toughest loss in my
career, said senior linebacker Jim Valen-
tino, We felt we could beat Hofstra.
TI were never tested before us.""

Coach Kwiatkowski was quick to count
out the theory that the Dutchmen might
have taken the Danes lightly."”

“1 knew they'd be tough," he
said.'*Bobby Ford is my idol. 1 told my
team all week long Albany was a great 3-4
team, Albany State couldn't care less
about an undefeated Division III team
from the city, If they had our schedule,
they'd be undefeated too.

The game started off as if Hofstra was
going (0 breeze to their 18th straight
regular season victory.

On Albany's fifth play of the game,
Russell collided into fullback Dave Soldini
as the ball squirted loose. Dutchmen All-
American Larry’ Galizia pounced on the
loose ball at the Albany 39,

Aided by a 13-yard pass interference
penalty McLaughlin, who completed 18 of
30 for 280 yards, connected with

Wohlgemuth in the endzone on the same
pattern that won the game.

Hofstra got the ball back on their own
40-yard line when a fake punt on fourth
down failed for Albany. This time it took
the sixth play before McLaughlin hooked
up with Rich Codella over the middle for a
25 yard touchdown pass with 5:49 left in
the first.

The blowout had started, or so everyone
thought. For the remainder of the game,
the Danes defensive line made life
treacherous for McLaughlin.

“After those first two scores," said
defensive end Rick Punzone, ‘we adjusted
to their weird blocking scheme,"

“Their defense made a
back look like a good one,
Hofstra coach Kwiatkowski.

Hofstra was unable to score the rest of
the half while Albany added eight points
of their own - thanks to the defense. With
John Redmond set to eat McLaughlin for
lunch, the former UCLA quarterback
forced a pass that was intercepted by
‘Anderson, who ran it back for a 25-yard
touchdown return. On the fake one point
conversion, wide reciever John Donnelly
turned quarterback for a play. Displaying
some fancy footwork,he connected with
Scott Barker in the end zone for a deuce.

‘After some half-time adjustments, both
teams offenses sparkled in the third
quarter

offered the

On the Danes first possession of the se-
cond half, Dave Lincoln booted a line
drive 47-yard field goal to close the gap to
14-41

‘On the ensuing possession, Hofstra
struck back in only two plays. The score
came on a 44-yard touchdown reception by
Jerry Mackey, left free by a confused
Albany secondary.

‘The Danes answered right back on their
next possession to slice the lead to 21-19
with 3:04 left. in the third, Russell
engineered the drive that covered 63 yards
- 43 of them coming on a run by Soldini,
who finished with 133 for the day.

The Danes got the ball back after the
Dutchmen were nailed on a delay of game
penalty on fourth and one.

Starting from their 23, Russell and Don-
nelly hooked up on the first and last plays
of the 77 yard drive. The initial reception
went for 44 yards and placed the ball on
the Hofstra 33. The final play resulted in a
22-yard touchdown pass that bolstered the
Danes to their first lead of the game. Don-
nelly caught the ball over the middle and
barrelled 15 yards straight ahead, breaking
a tackle along the way.

Characteristic of their play all season,
Hofstra retaliated right away. McLaughlin
wasted no time in vaulting Hofstra back in
the lead. On the drive's third play, he
delivered a 35-yard strike to Jerry Mackey

‘Gap’ in advisement
caused by students’
wrong expectations

By Lisa Mirabella

CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Second of a two part series dealing with the state of
SUNYA's undergradvate academic advisement process.

‘The ‘gap'’ in the undergraduate advisement process at
the University is caused, advisors say, by students
misunderstanding the role of their advisor.

As a full-time advisor in the Center for Undergraduate
Education (CUE), Margaret Reich said she
percieves the gap “‘especially among
freshmen, who are used to a (high school)
guidance counselor telling them what to
take,"

New students, she said, “often do not
realize there are many more courses offered here," and
that a CUE advisor can not list every option for them.

“The gap does close on its own," after the student
meets with the advisor, Reich said, adding that, ‘It is ab-
normal when it doesn’t” and the student continues to de-
pend on the advisor to direct his or her program,

John Kosakowski, a graduate assistant at CUE said,
“the students should realize what our role is, and what it
isn't; after they attend summer orientation.” At that
time, he said, advisors define the process of advisement.
Although, he said, the students do recieve a lot of other
information at the same time,

Kosakowski said he views the role of a CUE advisor as
‘a bridge between the student and the big bureaucracy.”
The advisors will answer any questions students have con-
cerning requirements, |he said. However, he added the
students must ask the questions.

Faculty advisors say they also struggle with students ex-
pectations that they cannot always fulfill,

“The key word is advise - we are there to advise, not to
choose for the student,’ said Martin Edelman, chair of
SUNYA's Political Science Department.

Professor Norman Greenwald, the coordinator of
undergraduate advisement in the psychology department,
listed three types of advisement which students may seek -
academic, career, and pefsonal - he explained, “the three
functions are separate and they shoul;d be kept
separate.”

He said he feels that while faculty members do have
sufficient resources to advise students on their acadmic
programs, other areas should be handled by the offices at
the University that have trained personnel to assist in
career planning and personal counseling.

Helen Horowitz, chair of the Economics department,
said ‘I am a teacher and advisement is part of the
teaching process.”” The way she views her role, she said,
depends on the student she is working with, recognizing
that “‘students needs are diverse.""

Horowitz, replying to an Economics major who had
complained that advisors in the department are often
temporary, said, “We have never permitted adjunct pro-
fessors or part-time faculty to advise students,"" adding,
“Advisement is done by regular faculty."”

While students listed a variety of expectations they
have of advisors, advisors named only one thing they ex-
pect from students - that the student read the
undergraduate bulletin to become familiar with the re-
quirements of the program they choose.

Reich said of CUE advisors, “I expect them to have put
some thought into long range and short range plans, and
to be aware of the requirements of the major they want to
pursue,”

Edelman explained that his department reaches out 10
the students at an Advise-a-thon they hold each semester.
However, he said, “I would hope that they have had at
least attempted to read the Undergraduate Bulletin, and
have some sense of what they want to take.""

With Greenwald the expectations were for both sides.
“Texpect every student to have read the bulletin, and I ex-
pect every faculty member to have read it as well,"" he
asserted.

He concluded, “If you have two groups who are going
to discuss requirements, who have not read the materials,
do you ever wonder that there is a problem]""

Edwin Reilly, Associate Chair of the Computer Science
Department, said he found, ‘too many students want to
be read to right out of the catalogue {items which] they
could have read themselves.”

Student ghetto area Inset: Lewis Welch

The city is planning to enforce the grouper law in September, 1985,

SUNYA seeking housing alternatives

Grouper law may displace 1,000; officials lack plan to help students

By Jane Anderson
CONTRIDUTING EDITOR

With the possible displacement of 1,000 SUNYA
students living in off-campus apartments approaching in
{ess than a year, Student Association officials and Univer-
sity administrators have, few options; and no definite
plans, under consideration to deal with the problem

Albany Mayor Thomas Whalen reiterated the
pledge to begin enforcing the ‘grouper law" in
September, 1985 at a press conference at SUNYA
Tuesday

The grouper ordinance says tht no more than three
unrelated »persons’ may live in the simevapartment or
house. Albany officials are threatening to enforce the law
in response to residents’ demands that the number of stu-
dent tenants be curbed because, they say, their
neighborhoods are deteriorating,

The University, according to Vice President for Stu-
dent Affairs Frank Pogue, is about to begin a survey of
off-campus housing needs, but Pogue said he is uncpn-
vinced that students forced out by the grouper law will be
left without housing,

Pogue said that the university hopes that through the
off-campus survey they will be able to locate areas in
Albany that could absorb more students,

Maintaining that “I really am not convinced’ that
housing for most displaced students will not be available
in the Albany community, Pogue said the university ad-
ministration is “‘moving to try and locate additional hous-
ing" around Albany.

“There is no available housing," said Sandy Myers,
United Tenants of Albany spokesperson, ‘The vacancy
rate is one percent," she said, adding, “What (housing)
you do find is full of (housing code) violations,

“There are several answers,"” said Pogue, contending

fair to say the university is concerned and
working.”

Some students may be placed in hotels such as the Well-
ington Hotel or the Thruway House in a proposal cur-
rently under discussion, Pogue said. But he added that
there are no prospects for specific units at present,

Pogue said that last week, the SUNY Central Ad-
ministration approved funding a proposal for new,
apartment-style housing for graduate students on the
SUNYA campus.

No new housing will be available on campus next eyar,
Pogue siressed, adding that the apartment proposal still
must pass the legislature and be approved by the governor
before constsuction could be started,

Director of Residential Life John Martone ruled out
the possibility of housing additional students in increased
occupancy rooms to help absorb some of the anticipated
overflow if the grouper law is enforced.

The dorms, Martone explained, are currently at 103
percent capacity, and to Increase this figurewould jeopar-
dize the weli-being of students already in the dorms,

SUNYA, according to Martone, does not have a
responsibility to locate or provide housing for every stu-
dent admitted to the school,

“The university,"” said Pogue, ‘thas housing for over
6,500 students ... (but) we cannot house all students ad-
mitted." There are approximately 16,000 students enroll-
ed in SUNYA programs,

SA President Rich Schaffer said that he sees a good
possibility for having the grouper law changed,
officials have shown interest in solving’” the pro-
‘off-campus housing, Schaffer said, explaining
that with the SUNYA administration's requests for more
on-campus housing, ‘the mayor might be able to back
off” and put off enforcing the grouper law.

Albany city Director of Code Enforcement Mike
Alvaro, however, has contended in the past that a repeal
Of the grouper law ordinance is probably not pi sible,

Campus Association Chair Dave Silk mentioned
the spose y of expanding the SUNYA bus route so that
students Would have ‘access to other housing arcas than
the Pine Hills “student ghetto" area,

Martone, however, said he didn't consider the proposal
feasible,

“The expense of running the buses is tremendous. 1
don't think the campus could afford" to expand the bus
routes, Martone said,

Itis students, however, who will be left 1o deal with the
grouper law should the city decide to enforce it.

Some off-campus students say that, with the planned
enforcemtn of the ordinance next year, both the demand
and the price tags for available, legal housing are going to
rise.

“I'm paying $135 a month in a four bedroom apart-
ment,” said one off-campus student, ‘‘If one of us has to
move out, our rent goes up to $155. I can’t afford that,"

Schaffer refused to speculate on whether rents will in-
crease next year, but Martone said that ‘rents will go up
as long as they (landlords) think the market will bear it

SUNYA Fieldhouse in
184-85 budget proposal

By Rick Swanson
IDITORIAL ASSISTANT

SUNYA could get a new field house to replace its 20
year old athletic facility and graduate students may get
more housing if the SUNY Board of Trustees budget
proposal is adopted by Governor Mario Cuomo and
the State Legislature.

“The field house is one of our priorities” said
SUNY Vice Chancellor for Capital Facilities Ernest
Freedman. “It is within our binding capacity," he add-
ed, meaning that the project would probably be eligible
for board money slated for improvement projects in
the mid-seventies,

At the time, the SUNY Board of Trustees set a con-
struction limit for SUNY of three billion dollars, and
$291 million is left to be bonded, according to
Freedman,

The field house proposal, at an estimated cost of $11
million, ‘‘is one we would put within the bonding
limitation," said Freedman,

The SUNY Budget request, submitted to the gover-
nor on October 24, will go before the State Division of
the Budget for review,

By mid-January, Cuomo will submit an Executive
Budget Proposal to the legislature. After making any

Former Environmental Protection
Agency Director Annie Burford defended
her past in a speech before a small crowd
in the Campus Center Ballroom Tuesday
night,

With a low turrivut of only 70 people in
the audience, some of whom were pro-
testors, questions have been raised as to
whether or not the $3,500 spent to bring
the controversial speaker to SUNYA was
really worth it.

In addition to the $3,500, Burford also
received money for expenses which incliid-
ed round-trip airfare from New York City,
the salariés of four security gudres and
rental fees for the ballroom and chairs, ac-
cording to Student Association controller

testors to “let that statement roar out at

the polls next week."”

Burford, the first cabinet level officer to
be cited for contempt of Congress, resign-
ed as President Reagan's Environmental
Protection Agency Director in March
1983. At that time she faced several impen-
ding indictments for refusing to reveal files
containing information about toxic waste
dumps and possible violations of federal
regulations,

Protestors accused Burford of “burying
the Super Fund." The Super Fund is a
$180 million annual fund administered by
the EPA, designed to pay for the clean-up
of toxic dumps. According to one pro-
testor, Burford squandered that money
during her administration.

Dean Reichman, a NYPIRG researcher,

said the EPA under Burford’s leadership
cleaned up only six of the 546 toxic waste
sites scheduled for clean-up. ''Now, its up
to us, the private citizens, to act on behalf
of the environment,” he said,

The protestors moved inside to the main
lobby of the Campus Center about ten
minutes before Burford’s 8 p.m, speech
was to begin in the ballroom, on the se-
cond floor of the building.

They continued to march in a circle
chanting “Burford go home’ until Cam-
pus Center staff said they were not allowed
to chant. The protestors then began sing-
ing ‘This Land is My Land,” led by
guitarist Scott Snyder, until Campus
Center authorities requested they stop at
the start of her speech.

n Edlite attended the rally which,
she said, “is a reaction to a woman who
did not institute reforms" to fulfill the
needs “of communities throughout the
country."*

Members of the audience encountered
the protestors in the lobby. Bruce
Weinfeld said, “They shouldn't’ be doing
this." He added, “They should give her a
chance to speak. After she speaks they can
(protest).""

Grad student Cary Darling said he
agreed with the protest because “I believe
people like Burford are the worst thing
that can happen to a government in any
country." However, he said he felt,

in environmental and political issues, not

Candidates come talking issues, seeking votes

By Beth Finneran

“'Students have the power to decide an election — and
that’s an awesome power," asserted Gregg Rothschi
vice chair of Central Council's Student Action Commit:
tee after Thursday's ‘Meet the Candidates Night."

‘The event was sponsored by Central Council’s Student
Action Committee and Student Associaiton of the State
University (SASU).

At least 200 people attended the forum which State
Senator Howard Nolan said was the biggest turnout of
any Candidates Night he has participated in.

Candidates for U.S. Congress, State Senate, State
Assembly, County Clerk judge and Family Court judge
were present.

‘The candidates were introduced, allowed an opening
statement, and then asked questions from a panel of stu-
dent leaders, The questions included such issues.as: the
drinking age, SUNY tuition hikes, civil rights divestitures
from South Africa corporations, tuition assistance, abor-
tion, and the city's housing situation.

Two Congressional candidates were present,
Republican candidate Frank Wicks and Socialist
Worker's candidate Richard Ariza. Democrat Sam Strat-
ton, who is the incumbent, did not attend, :

‘The two candidates differed greatly on the issues.
Frank Wicks, an engineer, has already run for Congress
twice, He stressed the necessity of a mutually verifiable
nuclear freeze, a decreased deficit through a decline in
spending and through increased taxes, passage of the
ERA and better uses of resources. Furthermore, he said
he supports the federal decision on abortion and a 21 year
old drinking age. He also suggested a ban on televised
alcohol commercials.

When asked what he thought of the 1984 Civi ights
Act, he responded ““What's the '84 Civil Rights Act?””
After being informed he apologized and claimed that it
sounded like something he would support.

Stating that no student should be denied the right to a
college education, Wicks affirmed his support of Pell
Grants and National Direct Student Loans, Wicks said,
however, that these loans should be denied to male
students not registered for the draft,

Ariza began by announcing, ‘This country is at war in
Nacaragua, El Salvador, and South Africa.”

He emphasized this, stating that there are ‘300 U.S.
corporations that function in El Salvador to escape union
wages that have helped raised our standard of living."

Ariza, when asked whether students receiving loans
should be forced to sign up for the draft stated that there
should be no draft and no tuition. “By dismantling war
efforts, education could be free,"” he added,

Ariza was against the drinking age and supportive of
the ERA, civil rights and abortion rights. He claimed that
the ERA “didn’t serve the interest of rich businesses Of
America, so they let it go down.”

He also stated that electing Geraldine Ferraro was not
necessarily a step forward for women and called her ‘a
racist gutterbag from Queens.””

State Senator Howard Nolan, the democratic candidate
who is running for his 6th term, and Nick Frangella, the
republican candidate, both professed their appreciation
for the value of education,

Nolan stressed his success in getting funding for SUNY
and in introducing additional programs to the system.

He said “‘more help to young people who want to be
educated is of paramount importance to this state,""

He stated his support of the 21 year old drinking age,
while noting, “1 know I’m coming into the lion's den on
this one."*

This decision, he claimed, came after much investiga-
tion and deliberation on his part. "It’s only one spoke in
1 great big wheel on reducing alcoholism,’ he explained,

Nolan also asserted his support for divestiture from
South African corporations because of their country’s
policy of apartheid, stating that ‘the economic pressure
will bring them to their knees as well as apartheid.”

Nick Frangella spoke of his father’s opposition to the
21 year old drinking age. He said that people between the
ages pf 18 and 21 can marry, go to war, hold a gun and
vote and that therefore it is “‘quite incongruous that these
freedoms are allowed and to go out and have a beer
isn't.""

He also stressed his father’s determination to oppose
any increase in SUNY tuition, and room and board hikes,
and to support an increase in TAP, "‘A college education
isn’t a college education unless you can afford to go,"
Frangella said,

Assembly candidates Republican Paul Silverstein and

incumbent Democrat Richar Connors both agreed on the
necessity of revamping the state financial aid system,

In addition, they both opposed a 21 year old drinking
‘age, and enforcement of Albany's grouper law, which is a
zoning ordinance stating that more than three unrelated
people cannot live together.

They disagreed however on divestiture from South
African corporations.

‘Assemblymember Connors supported divestiture say-
ing, we '‘shouldn’t be encouraging their (South Africa’s)

“A college education isn’t.a
college education unless you
can afford to go.”’

—Nick Frangella

Connors voted against raising the drinking age to 21,
but he had favored raising the drinking age to 19.

Although Silverstein asserted that ‘apartheid is a
moral yoid,"" he said he only supports divestiture if the
same rate of return could be guaranteed on investments.

He also opposed the 21 year old drinking age stating
that it is ‘discrimination against a target group and peo-
ple must take responsibility for action:

He said he would support revoking the licences of any
drunk driver under 21, and therefore not allow them to
drive again until they are 21,

Democratic Assembly candidate Robert Van Slyke
claimed that more education assistance is necessary,
otherwise we are excluding a vast majc ‘ty of middle in-
come students who can't afford to go at . where else,"

He opposed the 21 year old drinking age, joking that 66
percent of alcohol provoked accidents occur with drivers
under 45, therefore, “Why don’t we raise the age to 452"

Reagan invades Democrat holdings in final days

(AP) The long presidential campaign is
entering its final hectic days with
Democratic challenger Walter F, Mondale
unleashing a television advertising blitz
and President Reagan invading tradi
tionally Democratic strongholds in a bid to
lock up a landslide re-election.

Mondale doggedly insisted Wednesday
that ‘we can win this thing’” despite his
‘own campaign polls that
say he is 16 to 18 points
behind the president
with only four days until
Election Day. Campaign
aids said the Mondale
polling indicated no
trend in his direction in the past several
days.

Reagan opened a 10-state trip in Boston
Thursday where he hoped to solidify his
support in traditionally Democratic
Massachusetts and also give a boost to
Republican Senate candidate Raymond
Shamie,

‘The president also was reading the polls,
and he told workers at his national cam-
paign headquarters in Washington on
Wednesday: “1 go to bed at night and my
last thought is: what if everybody is
reading the polls and isn’t going to bother
to vote?”

Reagan leads Mondale in New York
state by 14 percentage points according to
the New York Daily News Straw Poll
released Thursday.

Based on telephone interviews from
Saturday through Tuesday with 1,688 like-
ly voters, Reagan was preferred by 51 per-
cent of the state’s voters, compared with
37 percent for Mondale,

‘ourteen points also separated the

Geraldine Ferraro was campaigning
Thursday in Cincinnati before joining
Mondale in New York City, then flying
West to Cedar Rapids, lowa, and Los
Angeles. Vice President George Bush was
campaigning in New York before traveling
to Toledo on Thursday.

Mondale campaign spokesman Don
Foley confirmed plans for a multi-million-
dollar closing advertising buy that would
include more than a dozen five-minute
segments on the national networks. One

Democratic Chairman Joseph Crangle,

200 SUNYA Mondale fans rally to show support

By Ilene Weinstein
STAFF WRITER

About 200 SUNYA students shouting
anti-Reagan slogans and waving red, white
and blue signs, rallied on the podium Tues-
day to demonstrate their support for the
MondaleFerraro presidential campaign.

The rally, sponsored by the SUNYA
chapter of Students for Mondale, was part
of a demonstration on 15 college campuses
statewide,

The rally has made campus supporters
of Democratic candidate Walter Mondale
“more vocal now,” said Eileen Kieffe, co-
chair of Students for Mondale. Kieffe add-
ed that there is a good deal of Mondale
support at SUNYA and the rally may have
brought others ‘over to the Mondale
camp."

The rally will have a big impact at
SUNYA, agreed co-chair Theresa Senft
Senft said she felt that as students go back
to the dorms with their Mondale buttons
and stickers they can sway the support of
their friends who didn’t go to the rally.

“This campus is traditionally conser-
vative,"” explained Senft, ‘We put on
more of a show than anybody expected us
use of our reputation of being
apathetic," she added

I don't buy the myth that young people
are voting for Ronald Reagan," declared
Maura Moynihan, daughter of New York
Senator Patrick Moynihan, and a speaker
at the rally,

According to Moynihan, about 30 per-
cent of 18-25 year-olds population is
registered, She urged the Democratic Party

to bee

to register more young people for future
elections. As for this election, Moynihan
said, “if the Democrats can get ‘the stu-

power, but not money, and that’s a pro-

despite this,

Bill Cunningham, Upstate Coordinator
for the democratic campaign, told the
ralliers, “over the next six days we've got
to get as many people working and talking
for the MondaleFerraro campaign as
possible. If we do out job right here in
New York, we could really make a dif-
ference in the election."”

members of the SUNYA chapier of
Students for Mondale asked SUNYA pro-
fessorsto speak at the demonstration,
Political Science professor Brice Miroff

"Students have a lot of respect for the
professors who spoke today,” said Keiffe,

“When respected professors: lay their

Senft, who added that student reaction to
the speakers was very spirited.

adding that while there are more registered
Democratics than Republicans, Democrats

“Mondale has a good chance of winn-

SUNYA student, She added that a large

Whalen calls on SUNY officials in housing dilemma

By Alicia Cimbora dinance

Blaming the city’s housing pro-
blem on over enrollment by the
University and “*unscrupulous"*
landlords *‘packing’” students in-
to their buildings, Albany Mayor
Thomas Whalen called on the
SUNYA administration to work
with the city in finding a solution
to the housing dilemna,

I's not the city's problem
alone, it's the University's pro-
blem as well,” said Mayor
Whalen at a press conference
Tuesday night.

Whalen also discussed other
student issues including student
voting rights and the possibility of
an abortion clinic on Lark Street.

Many of the housing problems
facing the city and students this
year have stemmed from a city

Riots follow Sikh assassination of Indira Gandhi

New Delhi, India
(AP) Vengeance-seeking Hindus

Northern india Thursday venting
thelr fury over the assassination
of Indira Gandhi by two of her
Sikh guards, At least 50 people
reportedly were killed and hun-
dreds injured nationwide,

Authorities ordered a 24-hour
curfew in New Delhi and 15 other
cities. Police in some places were
given shoot-to-kill orders against
the mobs and troops were sum-
moned to the capital from
neighboring states,

‘The United News of India said
more than 60 people were killed
nationwide. Hospital sources in
New Delhi told police more than

600 injured in the capital alone.

crowd of 600,000 mourners filing
past the flag-draped body of the
slain Prime Minister in New Delhi

The backlash in cities with Sikh

rioting, arson, and looting by
mobs of Hindus secking revenge
for the killing of the 66-year-old
Mrs, Gandhi, The mobs burned
Sikh-owned businesses, cars and

buses, and beat Sikh men they

a building near the Home
Ministry in New Delhi,

New Delhi’s deputy olice com-
missioner, Qumar Ahmed, said
the violence plunged New Delhi
into its ‘tworst position since in-

In four hour effort, Council
fails to elect new vice-chair

By Roslyn A. Lewis

‘Amidst a tense atmosphere and frequent
calls for quorum, Central Council met for
four hours Wednesday night in an effort to
replace former vice-chair Sal Perednia,
After many votes the election was tabled,

‘The nominees for vice chair, at various
times during the meeting, included Gregg
Stackel, Amy Koren, Liz
Chestnut, Bob Pacenza and
John Sayer. To be elected, a
candidate needed support
from two-thirds of the 32
member council or more
than 21 votes,

‘As the meeting continued ‘members
came and went, resulting in much confu-
sion and one vote in which there were 26
ballots cast while only 25 members were

present.

‘The meeting progressed as follows:

8:30, Council member Larry Hartmen
isformed the council of Perednia's resigna-
tion. He introduced the initial nominees,
Chestnut, Koreen and Stackel. Each gave a
short speech, Discussion and debate
followed. After several votes, there was no
winner.

9:45, Stackel withdrew from the race.
Council members proceeded to direct
questions to the two remaining candidates
‘The two stressed prior experience; Koreen
as a returning council member, Chestnu as
Indian Quad Board President? in an at-
tempt to win majority support,

‘Addressing the problem of getting more
students involved in Central Council,
Chestnut called for more communication
with other clubs and use of the SA
Hotline. Koreen suggested more publicity
and drawing members from the five quad
boards. After several votes, with frequent
13/13 ties, there was no winner,

11:15, Bob Pacenza accepted a nomina-
tion, At this point Steve Russo, acting vice
chair and Chair of the Internal Affairs
Committee said, ‘Let's tuke politics for

Upon Pacenza’s entrance to the race,
the tally of the first vote was Pacenza, 13;
Koreen, 8; Chestnut, 6.

After about a dozen votes, which did
not result in the necessary majority,
several members left the meeting.

11:45, Confusion with the ballots results
in an invalid vote. Twenty-six votes were
cast with only 25 members present at the
time of the vote.

Central Council Chair Mitch Feig said,
**L hope no one voted twice, if you did I'm.

Pacenza and Koreen withdrew from the
race,

Sayer accepted a nomination. In his ac-
ceptance speech, Sayer said, “Don't vote
for me as a compromise , vote for me
because you want me,

‘ollowing a series of questions and some
debate, Sayer missed being clected by one
vote: Sayer, 21; Chestnut, 8.

Sayer withdrew from the race.

12:05. Koreen accepted a new nomina-
tion, after several arbitrary nominations of
almost every council member.

One council member pointed out, ‘this

Heritage, future of black men

celebrated in week of events

By Pam Schusterman

‘A variety of events, including a dinner
and a Gospelfest will be kicked off at
SUNYA this Saturday in an attempt to
recognize the past contributions and
future potential of black men as part of
the first annual ‘Black Men's Week.""

“It.will pay homage to black men of,

co-chair of the Albany State University
Black Alliance's Social-Cultural
Committee. /

“Black Mgn's Week was originally
Black Week/— so this year they will be
running concurrently," added Todd.

“Black Men’s Week was set up
because black men felt they played a
vital enough role in the community and
deserved to have one,’’ said Todd.

Black women inave their week in the
spring, but black men felt they ‘had
enough going for them and wanted to
dedicate a week to themselves," Todd
said.

“The men think it is fair to have a
Men's Week also because they play (a)
vital role in taking strides in the black
community as a whole,'’ Todd
explained,

Vice President for Student Affairs
Frank Pogue said, ‘I certainly think the

idea will do a great deal of good toward
creating a sense of community for black
men." He added that he believed “a
closely knit group will interact better
with black women and the community.””

“In order to feel good and respect
others, you must first feel good about
yourselves," he said.

Pogue said he ‘plans to attend the
events and participate whenever
possible."’

The week will begin with a basketball
tournament, which will run the entire
week long beginning at 2:00pm on
Saturday,

Sunday there will be a talent show at
7:00pm, “It is an open invitation for all
the events, anyone is encouraged to
come,” said Todd,

Wednesday at 7:00pm there will b
panel discussion on ‘Black Family,”
with the subtopic “the diminishing role
of black men in family.”

Thursdasy there will be a Gospelfest
and on Friday a dinner dance will be
hosted by ASUBA at 9pm.

The wrap-up for Black Men's We
will include ‘Sophisticated Gents," a
fashion show, at 9:00pm on Saturday
“The Gents will be men from campus,"*
Todd said,

“This is meant for women," he said,
“but if men feel they must come in, ad:

It will follow with a tribute to black

November 10 is the tentative date set
for the basketball championship, Todd
said, adding that ASUBA will be giving

Todd said he believes Black Men's

Bus driver Sarlin finds shuttling students ‘calm’

Before working for SUNYA, Sarlin was
on the Capital Police Force from 1966-72,
Back then, he dealt with college students
too, but on less balanced terms. At one
point, he recalled he was put on the Riot
Squad and sent to New York City to pree-
vent demonstrations from getting out of
hand on state owned property there. But
he said he didn’t find this assignment that
stressful cither, “Most of it wasn't as bad
as people make it out to be," he explained.
Although there was occassional: violence,
he said it usually wasn't out of control, ‘1
agreed," he said, “‘with a lot of what they
believed in and 1 still believe that there
should be demonstrations for beliefs, but
they should be peaceful

In contrast to the demonstration of the
sixties and the SUNYA students he drove
in the carly seventies, he said that the
students he sees today are far more conser-
vative, In addition, he said, styles have
changed. Students wear ‘“dressier"” and
more ‘‘businesslike' clothes whereas
several years ago students dressed for the
purpose of '*coming to school and having

all sorts of demonstrations."

Sarlin said he believes this new look is
reflective of student's plans for the future,
“What I see now is that students are look-
ing at careers and money. Before it wasn’t
like that. The general attitude then was

recalled. He then worked at APA
Transport, and finally settled down as a

‘Students at SUNYA would
have a difficult time” making a
case, according to SA attorney
Mark Mishler, ‘because the
undergraduate bulletin is detailed

“Assuming that the infor

is obligated to read it,” he said.

Biology Professor Fred
Truscott said he takes his part of
the advisement contract seriously.
He said his emphasis is to “
the student in constructing a
schedule,” not only for a given
semester but for future semesters
as well. “That way,"’ he added,
“the student ends up as an

For those advisors and students

Nominations

Judith A. Ramaley, acting president
of SUNYA, is now accepting nomina-
tions for Distinguished Teaching Pro-
fessor, a-title given to professors who
meet the highest standard of teaching,
scholarship, and service.

The selection committee, composed
of an equal number of undergraduate
students and faculty, will be responsible
for screening the candidates and
building the required support file.

In order to be eligible, teaching facul-
ty must have achieved the rank of full
professor and must have completed at
least three years of full-time teaching on
this campus,

Candidates must also regularly teach
at least one half of their assigned load at
the undergraduate level. Nominators
must be prepared to assume full respon-
sibility for gathering the necessary
credentials and letters of support.

New ad policy

At an Editorial Board meeting
Wednesday night the Albany Student
Press(ASP) e1 ied a new policy which
prohibits the solicitation of models in
the Classified Ads.

Exceptions can be made only through
direct consultation and receipt of per-
mission from the Editor-in Chief.

Current Editor-in-Chief David L.L.
Laskin said “We're not just concerned
with money, we're concerned with
principles."

Directories are out

Student directories are now being
distributed via the campus mail to quad
offices and eventually to students
rooms. The directories list all ad-
ministrators, faculty, and student phone
numbers.

Students that had registered before
the September 19 deadline have their
phone numbers listed. Those who did
not have their phones hooked up or
those who changed rooms after the
deadline are not listed in the directory

year by. putting out the directory by the
first week in November. Last year’s
directories did not come out until late
spring because the company making the
directories went bankrupt.

This year there will be no yellow pages
in the directory because the University is
not allowed to print ads in a government
publication. The directories, which the
University itself prints up, are con-
sidered official government
publications.

Library offers tours

SUNYA’s library offers a self-guided
tour pamphlet with tour information to
offer assistance to those not familiar
with the library.

The pamphlet provides a guide to
each floor, explaining the various
sources of information and how to ob-
tain them.

‘The twelve page pamphlet leads a tour
through the library, going directly from
one section of the library to the next, ex-
plaining in detail what each section
offers.

The self-guided tour pamphlets are
available in the library lobby. Inquire at
the reference desk for more
information.

Record sales double

Record sales at SUNYA's record co-
op have doubled since last year, said the
co-op's manager Norman Kee, at-
tributing it partly to the co-op's early
opening this year.

The co-op has expanded its inventory
by adding more hard-core records, pre-
recorded tapes and by introducing a new
display case of buttons.

A new display of the top ten records,
more imported records than last year,
and a new option to order oldies singles

changes legislators deem necessary, they
will pass a revised budget by the April 1
deadline.

SUNY Central Communications Officer
Harry Charleton said that the budget re-
quest included no tuition hike or room fee
hike

“The SUNY Board of Trustees are very
reluctant to raise the tuition for student:
said Charleton, noting that because this
years state budget surplus, state funds
could be redirected toward the SUNY
budget.

“We are really at the mercy of the ar-
chitect of the state budget,” said
Charleton.

According to SUNYA's Final Budget
Request, the existing physical education
building, occupied since 1968 for a pro-
jected enrollment of 9,000 students, can no
longer meet the needs of the 16,000
studebts enrolled

Because of increasing female participa-

ramural, recreation and inter-
collegiate activities, SUNYA’s athletic
facility, even after alteration by the cam-
pus, cannot accomodate the needs of
Female athletes, according to the request.

The SUNYA Budget Request also pro-
poses 10 construct 150 on-campus apart-
ment units for graduate students.

‘According to the SUNYA final budget
request, “the university proposes to con-
struct 150 apartment units on the campus
for graduate student housing. 40 percent
of the units should be studios, 40 percent

its}, and 20 percent two-

The units should also

contain a kitchen, bathroom ,and living
room, the proposal says,

“We have a critical need for gradi
housing at Albany," said Freedman, ad-
ding that SUNYA would operate these
units as part of its total housing program.

‘The SUNYA Budget Request points out
that in recent years residence halls have

capacity, and indic
of property damage in the halls
‘urther, the impact of students |
off campus is changing the charact
ablished neighborhoods in the western
tions of Albany and represents a serious
- community problem," concludes
SUNYA Budget Request.

THe additional student housing asked
for by the proposal will not materiali
though, “unless we are sure that it is sel
subsidized," said Freedman,

The apartments, according to the re-
quest, would require twelve month leases.

Assistant to Vice Chancellor of Finance
and Business Bill Anslow said that the
State Division of the Budget “Will con-
sider the proposal for a couple of months

state to look at,” said Anslow.

The budget proposal also includes re-
quests for increased funds in the SUNY-
wide tuition waiver program and also in
undergraduate and graduate Equal Oppor-
tunity Programs, Anslow said.

“Several sources contribute to SUNY’s
budget,” said Charleton, noting that a tui-
tionand room fee hike could be avoided if
the state directed more funds of its surplus
budget towards SUNY’s budget.

“The main source is tax dollars,"” said
Charleton of the SUNY budget, adding
that “this is the critical part.” o

the field, That mieans to have some self-conscious com-
mand of the presentational and organizational arts which
fit the subject matter. That does not mean that every
young instructor ought to have the fluency of a master
teacher, or that every course ought to have the same
method. That does mean, however, that all instructors,
young or old, think about what skills and methods are ap-
propriate for them and for you!

sometimes? Does the instructor cancel class with or
without notice? Along this line, you will also want to
know if vital content and interactions of the course are
turned over to anyone who is not fully qualified.

What standards is the teacher committed to? Is the
commitment to having you memorize and recall a quan-
tum of facts? Or to having you inquire into and master
(to the extent you can) a known set of ideas or constructs?
Or some appropriate mix of those two? The professor's
‘commitment to the announced content of the course may
be more difficult for you to discover, since you are pro-
bably not learned in the field yet. {, however, the course is
supposed to be an introduction to theory, then the focus
and major time of the course should be on theory, and
not on some application of one theory in a research
project.

ted, or even that your instructor must be, If you are not
committed, then pick an instructor who isn’t. Fine! If you
are committed to gut courses and the grade game, fine! I
only suggest that you know what your commitments real-
ly are, and that you choose! The point is: take a look at
the professor's real commitment to content and relevant
procedure. If that commitment aligns with your commit-
ment, then study with that professor, otherwise no way!

PRESIDENTIAL ANALYSIS

Ronald Reagan

By Ed Reines
Defense:

As children of the nuclear age the number one issue of
interest to us is prevention of nuclear war. President
Reagan's strategy to minimize the chance of nuclear war
is as follows: 1) a tough negotiating position vis-a-vis the
Soviet Union so as to avoid “‘disadvantagous” treaties
“typical” of detente; 2) an equalizing of European
theatre weapons through deployment of Pershing II and
cruise missiles and; 3) the largest military buildup in
history. 2

President Reagan labels this program Peace Through
Strength. This theory states that a strong country is less
likely to be confronted than a weak country.

The Soviet walkout of all nuclear talks was met by little
sympathy in Washington. The Reagan administration
declared they would be there when the Soviets want to
return to the bargaining table. However, the Reagan ad-
ministration has made less progress than any other ad-
ministration in recent history. Reagan's major claim has
been the containment of Soviet influence which spread to
Afghanistan and Nicaragua during the Carter
administration.

The 7% percent defense budget increase agreed upon
by the House of Representatives was far less than Reagan
proposed, Citing the near disarmament of the 1970's
Reagan pushed for the B-1 bomber, the Peacekeeper and
the Trident submarine,

President Reagan hoped that these new programs
would insure nuclear parity and force the Soviets to

Walter Mondale

By Glen Freyer
Defen:

Walter Mondale has attacked the president for his ad-
ministration’s failure to move forward in arms reduction
talks with the Soviets, Though Mondale advocates a
freeze which is verifiable every day, his plans for such a
program are unclear, He supported the “walk in the
woods" proposal which would limit intermediate-range
missiles in Europe.

“Vote as if your whole world depended on it," reads
one Mondale flyer. While Mondale has tried to port
the President as one willing (o wage a nuclear war, he has
been nagged by a reputation as one who would be weak in
arms negotiations. Mondale has proposed 4 percent real
growth for the military budget (compared to Reagan's 7.5
percent). He does not support either the B-1 Bomber, the
MX missile, or the outer space defense systems. He does,
however, support funding for the Stealth Bomber, the
Midget Man Missile, and the Trident 11 submarine, call-
ing for more prudent military spending and advanced non
first-strike capability.

Federal Budget/Economy:

A close second to Mondale’s concerns over defense he
says is the question of the $175 billion budget deficit.
Many economists believe that the business cycle upswing
which has caused tremendous economic growth was, like
most recoveries, consumption and not supply driven.

Government spending increased to help finance and
spur the big business sector of the economy, and there
were cuts in many areas of the budget, particularly social
spending. But tax revenues, after Reagan’s across the
board cuts, did not keep pace with the federal spending,

Mondale fears that the deficits will inhibit further in-
vestment and keep interest rates high. He is gambling that
voters will accept his claim that a tax increase will be
needed in '85.

Mondale’s plan taxes the higher income classes with a
10 percent surcharge on single persons earning over
$70,000 and couples over $100,000, with no tax increase
for incomes below $25,000. He does not, however, sup-
port the indexing of tax rates until 1989, allowing many
people in the lower brackets to creep into the next higher
tax bracket.

Mondale contends that if Reagan is reelected he too
will be forced to raise taxes to alleviate budget deficits, by

negotiate, He also stressed further research to’ continue
our traditional technological advantage, particularly with
respect to outer space.

Federal Budget/Econom:
There is no question that President Reagan has presid-
ed over an improving and currently healthy economy.
The inflation rate has dropped from over 12 percent in
the Carter administration to a current rate below 5 per-
cent. The unemployment rate is down to 7.3 percent from
a high of 10.7 percent. These two indicies are what Carter
labeled the all important misery index, The average
American's income after taxes and inflation are dis-
counted rose almost 9 percent over the last four yea

ae
then in excess of $250 billion.

Mondale, like Reagan has not said that he would cut
medicare or social security benefits.

Mondale also supports domestic content legislation on
auto imports, restricting imported steel to 17 percent of
the American market for the next five years.

Student Issues:

‘On student issues, Mondale has called for increased
financial support of the Pell Grant and Guaranteed Stu-
dent Loan (GSL) programs. Mondale advocates the con-
tinuation of the Department of Education, He supports
legislation overruling a 1983 Supreme Court decision
allowing sex discrimination for programs not federally
funded, While Reagan supports a 21-year old national
drinking age, Mondale has not yet taken a stand on this
issue.

Social Issues:

Mondale has probably taken his strongest stands on
civil rights issues. He supports the Equal Rights Amend-
ment (ERA), advocates equal pay for comparable work,
and has supported the strengthened Voting Rights Act of
1981. Reagan signed the Voting Rights Act after initial
opposition.

Mondale does not support consitutional amendments
either to prohibit abortion or to allow prayer in public
schools. Though he favors busing to integrate public

These statistics cannot be refuted, but whether
Reagan's policies affected them can, Also negative
ramifications of some of his policies can be pointed out.
For example, there are more people out of work today
than four years ago. Another major economic indicator is
the interest rate, This is the economic area in which
Reagan received the most criticism, The prime rate is
down to a still high 12.5 percent from a high of 21.5.
These high rates, partly the result of a huge deficit, helped
keep inflation down but widened the trade deficit and
stifled investment.

This huge deficit, the result.of the large tax cut and in-
creased spending, is an embarassment to a proponent of a
balanced budget amendment such as President Reagan,
However many conservative economists attribute the im-
proved economy to the Reagan tax cut, an improvement
in defense industries and less regulation of business.

Whether the healthy economy is a result of Reagan
policies is not clear but as chief executive he deserves
some credit,

Student Issues:

The healthy economy seems to be the reason Reagan
has strong support among young people. His stands on
student issues generally seem (o contradict student
attitudes,

Reagan cut certain loan programs and through social
security cuts reduced aid to college students. While
stating he would not cut aid to education he also will not
increase it, His implementation of draft registration was
derided on campuses around the country as was his link-
ing student loans to draft registration,

schools, he does not support affirmatice action quotas,
2 Instead, he calls for, ‘goals, timetables, and other
verifiable measurements," though he has not clearly
specified what these would be
Mondale also opposes tax-exempt status for schools
which discriminate,

Mondale has been quick to point out that with five of
the nine Supreme Court Justices over the age of 75, the
next president's nominations will shape the court's diree-
tion for many years to come.

extensive use of covert aid in the region, He has propos

stemming from the R10 Pact, allowing the U.S. to aid
those allied countries threatened by activities beyond their

play a greater role in the neotiations process and supports
the Contadora proces lomacy to settle regional
disputes.

While Mondale would also provide U.S. aid to the El
Salvadorean government, he demands improvement of
their human rights record as a condition of financial aid,
He has’also, denounced both the mining of Nicaraguan
harbors and the recently discovered CIA manuals,

his campaign, Mondale claims that Reagan did not know
what he needed to know when he needed to know it. His
quoting of a recent article accusing Reagan of knowing in
advance of the dangers posed to Americans in Lebanon
and not removing them on the suggestion of the joint
chiefs of staff, was denied by the president,

Environment:

Mondale has also demonstrated a strong environmental
record, criticizing Reagan's failure to enforce existing
laws, He is in favor of increasing funding for the Federal
Toxic Superfund program and wishes to raise funding for
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) above its
1900 levels, In addition, Mondale supports pollution con-

Democratic Party Congressional incum-
bent Sam Stratton said that he would, if
re-elected, maintain the present level of
federal student aid, but that the current

igh federal deficit would’ keep him from
increasing aid for students.

“L wouldn't want to cut anything. What
we need to do is maintain the present level.
‘Some financial aid was added back in after
Reagan cut it, but the federal deficit keeps
us from raising the level of student aid any
further,” he said.

Stratton also said that he believes any
legislation promoting a 21-year old drink-
ing age should be handled on a state tevel,
but that he would not attempt to override
the recently passed federal law that will
decrease highway funding for states which
do not raise their drinking age to 21 within
two years.

‘The Equal Rights Amendment has Strat-
ton's full support, he said, stressing that he
“voted for it every time.

Stratton, however, said he does not sup-
port a mutually verifiable nuclear freeze,
because “it couldn't be verified."’

‘The Freeze, one answer (o the escalating
nuclear arms race between the USSR and
the USA, calls for a halt to the testing,
production, and deployment of nuclear
weapons by the superpowers.

“*Without on-site inspections, which the
Russians have vetoed," Stratton explain-

ed, ‘‘there is no way to be sure’? if a coun-
try is complying with a nuclear freeze.

‘Stratton said that he supported legisla-
tion for a stronger federal superfund,
which would provide money to clean up
toxic waste dumps. He said that he sees a
need to proceed with this legislation ‘right
away.’?

Stratton’s experience includes 13 con-
secutive terms in Congress, and fie served
as mayor of Schenectady from 1955-1958.
As the third ranking member of the House
Armed Services Committee, Stratton
chairs the Procurement and Military
Nuclear Systems Subcommittee and is
recognized as a leading congressional
spokesperson on defense matters.

‘Wicks emphasized that the funds for the

Richard Ariza

Socialist Worker’s Party

Richard Ariza, the Socialist Workers
Party contender for Albany's congres.
sional seat, said he favors taking money
from the military budget to provide
tuition-free education.

Ariza, who said the Socialist Worker's
Party is in favor of tuition-free education,
asserted that he would support an increase
in federal financial aid to students.

He also said he is opposed to the ides
that raising the drinking age would siop
drunk driving, calling the theory ‘jus
another example of alienation in society,"

‘I (raising the drinking age) is an ex-
cuse to not really deal with the problem of
alcoholism,"” he said.

Ariza said that he has marched in favor
of the Equal Rights Amendment in, New
York City and in Washington, D.C. The
Socialist Worker's Party has been involved
in organizing for the ERA, he added.

Emphasizing that he opposes a mutually
verifiable nuclear freeze, he reported in-
stead that he would propose a ‘*fraternal
relationship” between the United States
and the Soviet Union.

Ariza said he would support a federal
superfund financed completely by taxing
corporations for the clean-up of toric
waste dumps.

affirmative action and the use of quotasin
education and employement, as wel. In
addition to supporting the Equal Rights

credit to family farmers are other issues
the party supports.

to 1970, is a member of Amalgamated

— STATE ASSEMBLY RACE

Paul Silverstein
Republican

Republican challenger for New York
State Assembly Paul Silverstein opposes
raising the drinking age to 21, but is willing
to accept a SUNY tuition hike,

According to Silverstein, drunk driving
laws need to be made stricter, with stiffer
penalties and greater enforcement. ‘18-19
year olds arrested for DWI should
automatically have their licesnes revoked,
without any conditions or plea bargain-
ing,” he said.

He also said he would oppose any at-
tempts to repeal the mandatory seat belt
law, explaining that ‘‘the discomfort of a
seat belt is slight when you compare (it) to
the injuries or deaths caused by
accidents,

Silverstein said he supports an Equal
Rights Amendment, and that he believes
‘women should receive the same pay as men
for equal work,

Explaining why he supports abortion
rights, Silverstein said, ‘The responsibility
for individuals to control their “actions
must not be taken away by legislation,

The rising costs of a college education
should be controlled by increasing federal
aid, Sifverstein stated. However federal aid
‘would be out of his jurisdiction as a State

‘Assgmbly member.

He declined to comment SUNY Cen-
tral’s holdings in corporations who do
business in South Africa. Student leaders
have called for divestment of those
business interests because of that country’s
racially discriminatory policies.

Silverstein said he would not support
state legislation to force a SUNY move to
Division I college athletics, A proposal to
effect that change failed at the last SUNY
Board of Trustees meeting after students
voiced much opposition,

Neither students nor taxpayers should
be forced to pay extra money for Division
I sports, he said, adding, “I would ask
whether revenues earned from the pro-
gram could support the assumed debt of
public and private monies,””

Iverstein said he has experience in the
city, state, and federal levels of govern-
ment, At the city level he ran the Youth
Conversation Corps in Albany in 1976, On
the state level, he served as a budget
analyst for the Department of Motor
Vehicles from 1977 to 1981. He also served
as a presidential intern in the Carter ad-
ministration in 1979,

Conners said he would support a SUNY

SUNY Board of Trustees yoted down a
similar proposal a few weeks ago.

He voted in favor of a state Equal

The band was was started in in early ‘81 by
songwriters Joshua Vincent and W. Scot
Gray, In need of an avenue of sell expres
sion for their music and their frustrations
they formed the nuc of a constantly

nit. Six drummers came
and went, among them Trash Knight Nick
Nealon, before Bill Rella signed on for the
duration. The original line-up also featured
rhythm guitarist Paul Lindsay and percus:
sionist Michele Rimanelli, Frequent gigging
camed them an audience and inclusion on
the Hudson Rock Album(it was at this
point Sella joined, recording before he had
even played out with the band), “You
Can't Forget,” one of the stand-out culs
from that record captured the essence of
the Prole sound. Gray's trademark piercing
guitar tightroped its way through, adding
fire to the typically vindictive lyrics and
counterpoint to Vincent's pumping bass.

Rimanelli departed before the next
recording session, A six song demo cul in
record time at Arabellum Studios eventual:
ly produced three releases. Lindsa
however, was also gone before any came
out. The fist independent release was the

positively scary--a vision of the domestic
American family that strides home in a
most unsettling way. In reference to his
role in the band Vincent says, "Ive failed in
my life to get people to listen to me. This is
my last chance.”

rly in ‘84, using money saved from
playing, The Proles began their most am:
bitious project. Once again at Arabellum
they started work on recording an album's
worth of their material. Keyboardist Seals
was called in to augment the studio sound.

he first few days on Board, we.were all surly.

We were not really unfriendly; we greeted
‘meals, we exchanged all the:normal amenities, Buta
voyage is like a new civilization: It takes time to over:
come the stiffness of strangers, their obstinacy in
adhering to their own ways, time to absorb them, to
make them part of its world. We were withdrawn and
preoccupied, Each one of us was bound up in his in-
troduction to sea and sky. We preferred to maint
set distance with people. One thing at a time, after all:
we had enough to observe without becoming in-
terested in each other,

The coldness of those northern skies confounded
ius. They were slate-grey and heavy; they sagged low
over the ship as if buoyed up by ropes, There were
days when I could almost see the ropes, wind-washed
and with small grey wisps clinging to them, bent with
the whispering current, The water beneath them was
opaque. It was a grey, sluggistrsurface over which we
steamed with a dogged monotony. It did nothing to
hold us up. It only existed, The wind invaded us from
‘no constant direction, It woried us like an animal,
pausing intermittently to play with us, eddying, shud-
dering, dying down, and then rising suddenly to lift
smoke in wisps and rush it around in circles,

The Captain tried to overcome our self-isolation.
He drifted about in his spare time, striking up conver-
sations, indulging in aimless and interminable discus-
sions designed for the sole purpose of making us all
friends, He was absent-minded, He introduced us a
dozen times over, always forgetting that he had done
it before. We were a tramp steamer with a few
passengers. This was not the tourist season, and we
were all journeying for professional reasons and not
for enjoyment. Still, we allowed him to clear the way
for us, -and we became good friends.

The third day out, the Captain achieved his first ,

success, There were four of us on deck; two women
and two men, The women were mother and
daughter, recent and unsuccessful emigrants who
were resignedly returning to their home. The Mother
slanced at us with fierce, still hopeful eyes, The
Daughter stood with her head bent low; we could not
see her face, To tell the truth, we did not want to, the
Professor and I. 1 had no interest in the proceedings of
this voyage. My uninvolvement remained complete
and steadfast, my interest firmly detached from all
that happened, It was for this reason that, when
events made such action necessary, it devolved upon
me to become the Narrator. | played no other part,
but leaned on the rail, watching the fitful chopping of
the waves, The fourth one of us, the Professor, stood
near the smokestack, He was a short, thin man, wear-
ing a grey suit, and of no distinguished appearance.
His hair was edged with grey, in sharp points that
seemed to glitter at the tips, His eye-glasses were
square and steel-framed, and dully opaque, as if they
had been misted over with a metallic luster, Behind
them, the eyes could not be seen, We stood uncom:
fortably on the deck, avoiding each other with uneasy
glances, The wind blew with erratic intensity.

Aimlessly, the Captain wandered over in our direc-
tion. He walked obliquely past us, then turned with a
cheery greeting, “Nice day,” he announced. He was a
tall man, white-haired, and with a gleaming pink face.
His voice was large and brash, It was too large for this
quiet sea that lost every sound in ils fitfully slapping
waves,

We stared at him.

"Yes," he said. “The weather is right today, We
shall have a good passage, this trip, The wind is blow-
ing sporadically, and from no particular direction. We
are somewhat overcast, but the clouds have nowhere
to go. There will be no storms to bother us on this

and then he laughed. “But I've told you all this,” he
said, "I've told you at dinner, I don't know how many
times. You all know each other. What on earth is
wrong with me?!

‘Atthis, we all laughed, and he laughed with us, un-
til the boat must have rocked with our mirth, “Oh,”
he said, “You have all made a fool of me. You have
fooled me perfectly. You stood here like strangers, As
I passed, I saw you in the corner of my eye. I thought,
"These people don't know each other. They're so still!’
You're a sly lot, all of you, to trick me so.

he laughed, and we all laughed again, The idea
seemed ridiculous to us; we had always been good
friends. The Captain chortled gleefully to himself and
walked away.

“Yes,” said the Professor. “Patriotism is to be
commended.”

We laughed again, the Mother shrill and high,
louder thar’ all of us, It was no longer strange to me
that she should lauch at such a comment.

"Oh," she said. "We are so poor. We have nothing
else. But we do have laughter, don’t we? Oh, yes in-
deed, we do.”

The Professor smiled. His eyeglasses glinted grey in
the cold air, he edged over to her. “Laughter,” he said.
"A most interesting topic. 1 have studied it
thoroughly. Paradoxically, even spontanious things
may be studied thoroughly. Let me tell you what |
have concluded.”

“Do,” said the Mother. "Do, do, do, do.”

They were both in such a state of hilarity that they
missed the real absurdity of the conversation. Even I,
although f was not disgusted by its inanity, was amus
ed more by my perception of the ridiculous element
than by the spontaneous mirth that had rocked us a
moment ago. The Daughter was no longer laughing,
‘A vague smile turned up the corners of her mouth, an
unaware smile: only her face kept the shape of the
laughter, remembering its lines when the mind had
already forgotten, She was young, about seventeen
years old, and still gawky with the thin helplessness of
youth. Her shoulders were narrow, and her hair was
cut short like a boy's. Turning away, she stood gazing
down at the deck. | approached her.

* "Look at the water instead,” I suggested. It was as
good a way to begin.as any.

She looked up at the other two. The Professor was
now standing next to the Mother, and she was sidled
Up against him like some bird of prey, watching wide-
eyed in the shadows.

“You'll see,” said the Daughter. “She'll start on him
now. Because of his light grey suit. She wants to make
me matty an American, She doesn’t really want to go
home."

“That's nonsense,” | said. “Don’t watch them like
that. It would be absurd for you to marry him.” We

ed over to the rail and talked about the water.
That night, at dinner, we four were the center of a

soup. We drew the others in. The Captain was a

yenial host, but he did not interrupt our merriment,
being content to smile at us and converse aside with
the Doctor, These two sat at the far end of the table,
the Captain beaming with a paternal joy in our
friendliness, the Doctor talking to him seriously, but
with a respectful gentleness in his’ manner. The two

younger officers joined in our laughter as we joked
together.

Unity:

‘The Daughter looked down and smiled sideways at
some spot to her left. She was sitting next to the Pro-
fessor, who had been talking to her all evening. She
had taken no part in the general conversation, being,
evidently shy in a crowd. Now she sat straight in her
chair, nodding to him, and quietly answering his
questions.

“Look at us all,” continued the Mother. “Oh, look
at us. Where else could this be possible? Oh, nowhere
else, nowhere else. We are all so delightfully depen-
dent upon each other. Such a perfect atmosphere!”

The Professor looked up from where he was
holding the girl’s hand. “Yes,” he said. “A most in-
teresting problem. You think that the sea, danger and
isolation and all that, binds people together, You

say he thinks so too,”

"What's that? What's that?” said the Captain, look-
ing up with a smile of amiable lunancy.

"OF course,” said the Doctor gently, answering for
him,

‘Yes, suite,” said the Captain.

“What isit, then,” pursued the Professor, “what is it

would be forgotten. And the bond that it had created
would also be forgotten, whould linger in the

“You are wrong,” said the Doctor intently. “It will
remain in the pulse. It will stay on in the blood, the
brains, the internal rhythm of each man. People
adapt, but habits once learned are hard to lose,

“In the heart,” put in the Captain. His voice was
eager and loud,

“L think not,” said the Professor, mechanically
stroking the girl's hand, "Unity is made of necessity.
A useful maxim: remember it. There is no necessity
here. We are only warmed by our adjacence, like
animals in the sun. This is a literary emotion. it will
die out, as such things do.”

The Captain stopped smiling. “You are a learned
man,” he said, “with a high reputation in your field.
Philology, I think you said?”

“Philosophy.”

"Yes, I'm sorry. I've never understood these things.
Can you explain to me how even a week of this can
be forgotten--friendship, unity, call it what you like?
Harmony perhaps. A thing that has taken such pains
to create? My mind is full of so many things. It is not
clear to me,

“Forget it,” said the Doctor, He looked at the Cap
tain gently, as if concerned for his joy, fearful that the
least discord might destroy it, "You won't understand
Stick to what you know. You have imade the unity
here. You know that. The Professor is a cynic and en:
titled to his opinion.”

We were quiet awhile, We heard the wind rising
outside

“Nevertheless,” said the Professor suddenly. “I can
create unity for you, if that’s what you want. As it
should be, firm, of necessity, and unbreaking, A bond
as es as death. If you want." His cyéglasses giit-
tered at us.

We none of him answgred him, and soon the
sporadic conversation begin again: We all stayed up
late that night.

The next day | woke up after eleven and took my
time at breakfast, The olhes had evidently had the
same idea. They were nowhere in sight. There was no
‘one on the deck wher | got there, except for the Pro-
fessor and one or two sailors and the ship’s engineer.
The Professor was eanesily conversing with one of
the sailors. He held a lille pad in his hand and wrote
on it as he talked

sagging and flapping helplessly against its quivering,
ropes. The water slapped the prow of the ship as we
steamed through. On the deck, the wind swirled
about us in filful starts and lifted the smoke from the
stack in a wavering ribbon, The smoke whirled
suspended al s we went forward,

“Lam intervjewing this boy,” said the Professor. “I

“Perhaps yo uldl explain.”

“Lhave. Now he is exphining. He is actually excited

We were all on deck together. Some of the crew
wre gathered near the prow. Even the Mother had

me up, to see how things were progressing.
‘Beautiful,” she said. “The boat goes so smoothly.
Like ice gliding over the earth, glittering ice in great
sheets. Don’t you think so? I really do think so, Or
like salt.

‘Now what makes you think that?” said the Cap:
tain, “Salt.” He laughed loudly. “A strange idea.”

was being played, We all laughed. Even the Daughter
looked up and smiled momentarily, the smile linger-
ing an instant after the thought was gone, The crew
had hooks and ropes, and were grappling over the
side of the boat,

“The unexpected,” said the Professor, “You made
me think of it, with your talk of things frozen and
coming up out of the sea, Of forgotten things, for that
matter, springing suddenly to mind, Things, perhaps,
whose existence the mind has no wish to recognize,
whose possibility it contemplates only with a vague
sense of uneasiness.

This kind of chatter bored me. i watched the sailors.
“Look there,” I said. “There's the unexpected for you
I think they've got a fish. how many times has that
happened on this voyage?”

The Captain beamed, “Amazing,” he said. “They're
usually so incompetent, Clumsy, too. Uncoordinated.
Tl have to have a look at it.” The men were gathered
around their catch, murmuring and poking ils sides.

“Yes,” said the Profeesor. "The unexpected, An in

paradox because the unexpected always removes the
possibility of careful study. | am an authority on this
subject, men always unite against it, for some reason,

"Yes," | said, “Take that fish, now. Our crew is so
united against it, they're tickling it to death.”

The Doctor looked up at the Professor. “You have
more to say?” he asked formally. The Captain stopped
watching the crew.

‘ou're right. | have this to say. The unity that
results from a mutual fear and hostility, like all the
others is cool and impermanent. unless, unlike the

The Doctor put his hand on the Captain's arm, he
looked at us intently. "Don't think about this,” he
said, “He's talking, nonsense, Why should we disturb
ourselves?” He turned to the Professor. “I know what

The Professor fixed hem with a deep stare. “The

“To cure,” said the Doctor passionately. “Always to

You know. And if you mean only to kill the disease,
whiere’s your compassion then? I myself prefer to kill,
but you may have different tastes, Well, answer me,
answer me.

The Doctor looked at him helplessly, His eyes were
walery. His voice was thick. “I have not decided,” he
mumbled. “But it seems, it must be-some action is
necessary.” He stopped and looked at us all, Then he

‘ached out his hand to the Captain, The fingers
shook. He took the Captain by the shoulder and turn:
ed him around: They walked away, the Doctor with
his head down, his steps uncertain,

The Professor stared after them. “That man," he
said, “He is afraid to touch me." he walked over to the
crew and looked al their catch, “An ugly devi
said, “Yes. It's from the deep waters, you see, where
pressures are terrible, It probably swam too high and
was caught in the upper currents, until the forces
within were greater than those from without, And
when the water was no longer enough to hold it
together, the creature exploded, as you can see; the
brains pushed outward at the lips and gills, and the
organs burst through the skin, An interesting catch,
bul unfortunately not edible, Throw it away.”

The wind washed the clouds aimlessly across the
sky. They moved in fits and starts, The caught on the
ropes that held the sky and hung there suspencted,
twisted in thin, string-like strands by the grey cureents
above,

The next day, one of the sailors was lost overboard,
We heard the bells clanging early in the morning,
Men were running on the deck. We could hear the
scurrying of their feet. I got dressed and came
upstairs, The Captain was stern and whitelipped.

No one knew when the sailor had been lost. He had
been standing watch on deck all night. No one had
seen him go over, Inquiry disclosed that the man
overboard was the newest member of the crew, the
one just in from training school, he of the fascinating
morality, with whom the Professor had so often cor
versed. The Captain took out a peneil and paper, and
began writing down all the facts, The sailor had yone

mates had seen him leave, They could swear to the
time, He had been reading a Western novel while on
watch, The Doctor had seen him there,

things.” he said. “T never know how lo manage them, |
suppose I'd better take no chances, I'd belter wrile
down everything we know about him. For the
authorities. People forget so quickly.” He began to
ask questions, writing down the answers as fast as
they came, He asked about the man’s habits, about his
clothing, his family, his ambitons, his appearance, No

‘one could describe his appearance. The Captain look-*

be able to identify him, even when we do find him?”

The Professor joined us on deck. His eyegl
glittered, :

"You," said the Doctor, looking at hir “You were
up Here late last night, You musth. .en han”

"So were you,” answered the Professor. «. you..w

“You were up late,” said the Captain suddenly, staring

at him hard,

The Professor smiled. “I was working on my book,”
he sald, "My study of Ethics, An interesting problem,
But what about the Doctor, question him. He was up
late too. I saw him when I had finished,"

We cruiised in zigzags, searching the water for the
lost man. Four sailors walched the'net we dragged
from the rear of the ship.

"He'll float,” said the Doctor, “If he's dead, And if
he's alive, he'll still be swimming,”

The Captain looked up at us wearily. “We'll keep
on trying,” he said, “We must. But we'll not find him.
I don't know what to do. | can't remember the rules, |
think we must hold an inquiry. It’s not quite clear to
me where it says that, or why, buy I think that an in:
quiry is required, We'd better hold it now."

The sailors set up chairs on the deck. 1 was ap-
pointed secretary. The Doctor stood behind the Cap-
tain. He touched him on the shoulder, “I'm sorry,” he
said gently. "You must hold me excused. As the only
medical officer pesent, | must go and collect the
evidence.” He walked to the rear of the ship to tend
the net.

The Captain addressed us, "At first | thought it was
an accident,” he said, “He was such a disorganized
sailor, So confused, so clumsy. Always tripping on
things. An idiot, He could never get anything done by
himself. And in any case, things like that don't happen
on this ship.

mind is full of so many things. The weather was splen:

delightful thing we have ever had. So refreshing. But
something has disturbed the atmosphere. You, Pro:

Frightful appointed, disappointed in you, |

“You can prove nothing,” said the Professor.

The Doctor returned. He sat down. The Professor,
the Mother, and the Daughter sat in a row facing us,
The Captain and the Doctor sat next to each other,
and I sata little behind them, writing my report, The
Doctor looked up bleakly. "I request permission to
produce medical evidence,” he said, “The €orpus is
present upon this ship.

“Go ahead,” said the Captain
me.

Two sailors brought in a stretcher covered with a
sheet of canvas. They put It down on the ground. The
Doctor stood up. He went over to the stretcher,
stooped, and drew off the canvas. He lifted the body
and carried it back to his chair. Then he sat down,
holding it propped up in his arms, It was seated on his
knee, the legs stretched out stiffly before it, the head
thrown back and resting against the | Doctor's
shoulder. | walked over and stood behind him so that
I could see the corpse. He held it tenderly, looking,
down at its grey-streaked face with saddened eyes. It
had burning red hair and cavernous suckedtin cheeks.
The Doctot spoke.

“You will observe,” he said, “that it met its death by
violence. The head is covered with dried blood,
highly oxidized, which makes the hair look darker in

Pplaces. You can sce the darker spots, | hope. There
would be no blood if the man had first crowned and
had then been struck by some pointed object. Notice
also the right arm is gone. Whether chewed off by
some shark after death, 1 cannot say, There is not
much blood, but the flesh is pale and ragged, quite
mutilated, gnawed, as you can see, He might have

gently in his arms as he spoke. We all leaned forward
to see.

country, a Touchstone Films pro-

duction directed by Richard

Pearce, produced by William Wit-
iff and Jessica Lange, written by William
Wittliff, co-starring Jessica Lange and Sam
Shepard

* Jessica Lange’s latest effort, Country,
could have been a very good film, but un-
fortunately, it isn’t. “There are a lot of peo:
ple in the Midivest who are living through
another depression,” sald Lange. “People
are being run off their land, land they've
tended all their lives, Nobody was paying
attention to their plight. We became deter:
mined to make a film that would,

Tom Kacandes

Well, maybe it was that determination
that kept Lange and Wittliff so. over-
concerned with the “plight” that they
forgot about the plot. Country suffers from
what one might term “dramatic myopia”
meaning that Lange put so much faith in
the inherent drama of the material that she
didn’t pay enough attention to the au:
dience’s point of view, which is why the
movie's ending falls flat like a badly told
joke,

She should have gone back to Silkwood
for an example of how to handle the
dramatic outcome of a real-life story. Allin
all the story isn’t bad, but the ending really
fails; in fact, it’s terrible, While the credits
were rolling, Sam Shepard's name slid by
and I wondered, "Gee, Sam’s such a good
writer, why didn’t he save this script?” If 1
had to guess, I'd say that Sam either didn’t
see the edited version until it was too late
or was actually told to keep his talented
nose out of it. Too bad. A good writer
would never have let that movie leave the
editing room.

Sheppard and Lange are good, but newcomer Levi L. Knebel (right) steals the show,

s Luckily, the story is good enough right
up to the very end to let some first-rate ac-
ting shine through. Lange does a good job
playing Jewell Ivy, a woman born and rais-
ed on the same piece of lowa dirt and
determined to keep her land with or
without her husband's help. She should
stick to acting, As Gil Ivy, Shepard makes
all the right moves, but never succeeds in
getting the audience involved in his
alcoholic reaction to the government's at-
tempt to foreclose on his farm.

Both Lange and Shepard are good, but
the supporting actors are so much better
that the leads end up seeming less in-
teresting than those around them. Wilford

Though the role is limited, Knebel is ef-
fortless and his performance rivals that of
Timothy Hutton in Ordinary People.
Visually, Country is ‘a very good-
looking film with good production values,
though the cinematography is standard
enough to get a bit boring toward the end.
The score, a series of piano solos by Win-
dham Hill recording star George Winston,
is very good, but because the characters
say so little to each other, every time the
music comes up it pokes right through the
scant dialogue as if to say, "Hey, wake up!
Something big's going to happen now!
Despite the quality acting and substantial
dramatic potential, production faults such
as this keep Country from being the really
‘good film it might have been. [

Brimley (The Natural et al), one of the best
character actors going, is totally great as
Jewell’s father, Otis. He's able to pull off
the script’s predictable reactions and make
us forget that we'd expected

pression. Now that’s good acting.

Jim Ostercamp is masterful in his por-
trayal of Cowboy, the mentally disturbed
son of a neighboring family whose father
shoots himself in front of Jewell when their
farm goes under. Cowboy is the best
character in the film, but the best acting
comes from newcomer Levi L. Knebel
whose debut as Carlisle Ivy, the family’s
confused teenage son is the film's only
surefire academy award nomination.

Kaplam ably filled in the history of the
Marx Brothers with the aid of a slide
presentation and several character fic-
tionalizations. He told of the brothers’
metamorphosis into the Marx Brothers,
They began as the Four Nightengales in
1908. After realizing comedy suited them
better than singing, the rest was history,
eventually

Somehow, the jewishness of their

names-Julius(Groucho), Leonard(Chico),

.-failed to lend themselves to success,
Harpe Uacame Harpo for te obviows
reasons, though he never did have a lesson.
Explaining Harpo's muteness, Groucho
shared the tale of Harpo yelling to a big-
shot theater owner “I hope your theater
burns down.” It did. “So we decided Harpo
would never talk again.”

Chico derived from Leonard out of
nothing less than necessity. For the produc:

tion of Fun‘in Highskule Leonard forever

became ttalian.
‘Although the other brothers are men-

tioned throughout the evening, it is B
Groucho and Chico(Robert Hegyes) who §

are showcased. Groucho continually recalls
the explojts of Chico, describing himvas the

= type of guy who “would give you the shirt

‘off his back--and it was usually the one you fE

lent him the day before,”

It was Chico’s gambling with Al Capone,
among others of such repute, which earned
the brothers jobs at low points. Chico got

married early and Groucho quickly follow- ff

ed suit, As Groucho put it, “Since | wasn't
too good with the ladies I decided to get
married too,” He wed Ruth Johnson in
1920 to the chagrin of her parents, whor
Groucho declared “orthodox anti-semites
After discussing the success of Coconuts
and Animal Crackers the play advances
twelve years to 1941; Groucho Marx the
family man and supposed woman hater
receives priority here. Through the guise

of an interview with a female reporter |

Kaplan connotes the comedian’s cynicism.
One liners such as “as far as I'm concerned
women should be obscene and not heard,”
‘or “what causes my insomnia?-{ think not
sleeping, perhaps,” let the audience feel
and understand Marx's ies toward fi
aging.

At this point Kaplan laces Groucho's
acerbie wit with a touch of sympathetic
and ironic contrasts, The story of
Groucho's fall from grace with the almost
almighty Louis B. Mayer signals an end to
the upbeat tone of the show. In rapid suc
cession Groucho divorces his wife of 22
years and endures two other divorces
Jokes such as “a man is only as old as the
woman he feels" only heighten the irony.
Marx then made A Night in Casablan
cawith his brothers and three solo pictures.
That all four flopped supplied more
evidence proving Groucho Marx a has-
been,

“Luck struck one more time” at the age
of 59, His “You Bet Your Life" T.V. quiz
show lasted 14 years and earned him an
Emmy, In his “waning” years he was earn
ing more money than he ever did as a
Marx brother.

When Chicu died on Oct. 11, 1961, he
had the last faugh-Groucho had to pay for
the funeral, While Groucho continued his
career by making cameo film appearances,
time took its toll, Harpo passed away, as

The last section of the show provided
the deepest insight into the persona of
Groucho Marx. Kaplan spoke exactly as
the comedan did at that time, and closely
resembled the feeble looking, but still
quick-witted 87-year-old man, Via another
interview Groucho makes several points,
‘At 87, he's “a living legend,” but 30 years
ago he “was a pain in the ass.” He's nol
married, but “shacking up.” Whenever he
tries to have sex his partner threatens to
call the police, Her charge? “Assault with a

send you up a note.

Kaplan is marvelous. Although the voice
wavers until the end, Kaplan personifies
Marx, He bears a mild resemblance to the
comedian both physically and comically.
Often during the show a slide would ap
pear late or out of place, This allowed for
some quick ad-libbing, If one joke failed,
two or three others quickly followed up.
And these got laughs.

Robert Hegyes(Epstein on Kotter)
played the small role of Chico superbly, To
get such development in so little time is
remarkable, He generally serves as the butt
of one-liners or is the focal point of Marx

Brothers stories. Hegyes, unlike Kaplan,
bears an, uncanny resemblance to his
character.

Kathryn Staneligh plays all of the
women throughout the performance, She
is not asked to act, but merely react. Her
“performance” does nothing for the show
other than act as a catalyst for Kaplan,

Groucho was a fascinating tale of a
fascinating man. Though the play de:
glamourized the life of the most famous of
the Marx Brothers, it showed him to be
human, The man had his troubles, bul
most of our funny men are troubled souls,

The guitars are what highlight the music
but itis the much improved rhythm section
of Packenham and Staydohar that hold the
songs together. Packenham’s drums pound
from beginning to end of this cut which is
What sets him apart from their previous

ing out side one is “What About
he spaciest song on the album. It’s
ly a song to sit back and enjoy.
Staydohar's bass is more prominant here,
and the guitars are sharp and biting
Side two opens with a bang with “Hold
One”, another catchy, upbeat number
which just glides along so nicely that you
never realize that it's almost four minutes
long, which is another mark of a good
band. Once again I can just feel the Califor-
nia breeze blowing through my hair. There
are some nice pace changes here which pre-
vent the song from ever becoming
monotonous, Tolman is the primary
songwriter, as he is on "Hold:On”, and his
compositions are excellent. On this cut, he
leaves a good margin of space for the
listener to enjoy the instruments alone, for
when Blair is singing, it's just s0 easy to
concentrate on his superb voice. Tolman

and McGrath seem to habitually switch off
on lead and rhythm guitar, and either way
is a very strong combination.

“And Then The Rain” is a cut that was
previously released, but this is a slower,
prettier, dreamier version of it. It is another
of the more psychadellically flavored songs
with great “Kaleidoscope” guitar
“Background Bridge Song” is the pick hit
off the album in that it has a very catchy
chorus, fast hard beat, and quick guitar
solos.

“Ain't No Hangnan’ is a nice twist, It’s a
prelly country-folk ballad which centers
around Blair, and “Morning Light” is
another flash of versatility. it has a camp-
fire sing-along taste to it, You can fust see
the crowd singing with Blair at alive show

All in all, Drifters is a very string effort,
complete with guest appearances (Chris
Cacavas of Green on Red doing organ and
piano, and Sid Griffin and Steve McCarthy
of the Long Ryders on backing vocals)
which I'm certain has helped the band shed
the psychadelic label, and show the world
that True West is one very versatile and
talented band. So catch them at 288 Lark
on Wednesday, or WCDB anytime! C1

———-STATE SENATE RACE

Joseph Frangella
Republican

Republican state senatorial challenger
Joseph C. Frangella said he opposes
SUNY tuition hikes — but didn’t reveal
what measures he support to avert any
increases.

Frangella, who is trying to unseat an in-
cumbent who has been in the Senate for
ten years, cited the successful efforts of
Republican state Senators to hal
funding decreases, but didn’t state
position on the matter.

He was, however, emphatic in his sup-
port for maintaining the drinking age at
19, “If you raise the drinking age, you're
going to drive drinking underground,” he

iid. He added he wouldn't support a law
“that my own kids wouldn't obey.

Saying he would not favor a legislative
mandate to move SUNY sports programs
from Division III to Division I college
athletics, Frangella said, ‘I would respect
the wishes of the SUNY Board and the
students,

The SUNY Board of Trustees voted

own,

down a Division I proposal last month
after students demonstrated in opposition
to the move. “Why should the legislature
or anybody else force them to do
something they don’t feel is in their best in-
terest?” asked Frangella,

The challenger said he supported a state
Equal Rights Amendment as long as there
are no provisions within the law that
would permit Medicaid-funded abortions,

Frangella did not take a firm stand on
having SUNY Central divest its holdings in
corporations with investments in South
Africa, Student leaders have repeatedly
called for this measure because of the
country’s policy of apartheid.

The people in charge would have to see
what is most beneficial to SUNY," he
said, adding that unless SUNY officials
believe divestiture is beneficial, SUNY
should not be forced into the policy.

Frangella opposes the state's new seat
belt law, because, he said, it’s “‘an infr-
ingement of the rights of choice.” The
issue, he claimed, is not between seat belts
and saving lives, but concerns the curtail-
ment of individual freedom,

Forcing drivers to wear seat belts is just
an opener to increased government in-
volvement in private affairs, said
Frangella. ‘The next thing you know, it'll
be something else,” he contended,

Frangella, a Slingerlands resident, said
he has spent 28 years in politics; 10 years as
Albany County Republican Party Chair
and 8 years as Secretary of the New York
State GOP Committee.

Frangella also mentioned his tenure as
Cocymans town chair from 1960 to 1966
and his two year term on the Coeymans-
Ravena-Selkirk school board in the 1960's.

He added that he used to work for his
family-owned mushroom business until it
closed down two years ago. He had been
working as a consultant to his son's food

brokerage until he began campaigning full-
time for the State Senate, he said. fa)

Howard Nolan
Democrat

Demonstrating a split record on com-
mon student concersn, Staie Senator
Howard Nolan, currently running for re-
election in Albany, said he voted in favor
of killing a SUNY tuition hike last year,
but co-sponsored legislation to raise the
state drinking age from 19 to 21.

Calling the statistics staggering, Nolan
said that if the problem of drunk drivers is
to be solved, young people under 21 must
lose the right to purchase aid consume
alcoholoci beverages.

He said he sympathized with 19 and 20
year olds who did not abuse alcohol and
driving, but “unfortunately a lot of people
have to pay for the sins of a few.

Nolan voted in favor of a bill last year
which killed Governor Cuomo's proposed
$200 tuition hike, He also said he sup-
ported the TAP increases which were a
part of the final state budget.

While he said, “We have to do as much
as possible to increase student assistance,"*
Nolan admitted he had no specific ideas
where additional funding could be found,
as he rejected additional business or per-
sonal tax increases.

Supporting both state and federal Equal
Rights Amendments as a way to insure
women get paid the full value of their
labor, he said an ERA would ‘make sure
that women are paide equal money for
‘equal work."

Nolan blasted the Republican controlled
State Senate, saying, “I think it was an ab-
solute disgrace that the Republican majori-
ty refused to allow the Senate to vote on
that issue (ERA) this year,

‘A move by some SUNY schools to
NCAA Division {sports is favored by
Nolan, but he said students must be given
a chance to add input on the decision,
possibly through on-campus public
hearings. )

Because of the racial’ discrimination
policies of the South African government,
Nolan said he supports forcing SUNY to
sell its investments in companies doing
business with the country) “I think that
we've really got to start, putting the
economic screws to South Africa in order
to get them to get rid of that policy of
apartheid,"

Finally, Nolan said he would work to
repeal the mandatory seat belt law which
New York State Governor Mario Cuomo
signed this summer, The law requires all
front seat passengers and the driver to
wear seat belts,

Nolan was born in 1932;and graduated
from Albany Law School ja\9957, He cur-
rently serves on two of thelgiost powerful
Senate committees, the Cades Committee
and the Finance Commitjes, He is a ten
year veteran of the Senate"), a

ALBANY JUDGESHIP RACES

County Court:

Steven Gates
Republican

Steven Gates, a Republican running for
Albany County judge, contends that he
will be “fair, firm and free from in-
fluence’ if elected in the November 6
elections,

Gates says he sees himself as ‘‘a man of
experience," according to the Gates for
Albany County Judge committee. He has
been a Prosecuting Attorney in two coun-
ties, as well as a Defense Attorney.

Educated at Amherst College and
Albany Law School, Gates has been a
Practicing trial attorney for over 15 years,
He says he is ready to devote his next ten
years "to the job of county judge" Gates
said,

Gates says he feels that as a 42 year old
attorney, he is ‘flexible enough” in his
‘mental attitude to ‘make innovative,

creative decisions in how cases are handled
in county court.

Ina letter to his committee, Gates stated
that he did not want his campaign commit-
tee to accept contributions from any
political party.

“Once elected," Gates said, ‘1 want no
questions of subtle influence ever raised
regarding my decisons."”

Gates says he feels he has a **
modern outlook" on issu
compromising integt These factors,
he says, should help him on his campaign.

In addition, Gates is using his own fun-
ding, and his own effort, in order to show
that “one individual ‘can make a dif-
ference," he said, stressing that students at
SUNYA he was sure “would respect such
courage.”

Adding that the Democratic Party has
controlled Albany ies since 1920,

political parties
should not play as big a role as they do,
especially with judges.” a

John Turner
Democrat

John Turner was appointed to the posi-
tion of County Court Judge earlier this
year, by Governor Mario Cuomo.

Turner, running on the Democratic and
Conservative party lines, explained that all
felony crimes fall under the jurisdiction of
County Court

“Murders, rapes - things that girls
would like to be protected from - arson, all
serious crimes are dealt with in county
court and Turner
explained

In drunk driving cases, he said, he has
tried “to couple some deterent jail tin
with alternative programs," and that he
“would like people to be helped forever."

Turner said that he practiced law for 2
years, and that he had served for six y
as a part lime city court judge
“This isn't new to me," he sa
to the court system in Albany,

He noted that, while serving as city
court judge, several cases involving
student-landlord conflicts over the return
of security deposits had come to his cou
troom. “We tried to do justice quickly,
Turner said, reporting that "students were
generally successful’ in getting their
deposits back.

“I'm probably as non-political as one
cab get,” Turner said, adding however,
“I've been a democrat all my life,"”

Included in Turnefs list of qualifica-
tions, is experience in Albany City Court
Judge from 1979-1983 and as assistant
district attorney from 1961-1968. He was a
partner in Rosenstock and Turner, at-
toneys at law, and has studied at
College and Albany Law School.

Democrat

Anthony Cardona stresses his 10 years
experience in family and matrimonial Ia
as well as his sensitivity and committment
to the people involved in these cases as
reasons to elect as Albany County
Family Court Judge.

Cardona, who is running on the
Democratic line, said he has practiced law
for 14 years. Family Court, he said, ‘thas
just been my whole professional life.””

‘I've been down there for 10 years,’
Cardona said, referring to his experience
as a trial lawyer in family court, “and 1

blems,"" such as scheduling and sensitivity,
that family ‘court judges and the people

federal court decisions announced this
month,

U.S. Northern District Court Judge
Neal McCurn's October 9 ruling
guaranteed to students the right ¢o vote
in their college community. Since
Albany is located in the Northern
District of New York, the ruling applies
to SUNYA students.

However, a judge from the Western
District, Michael Telesca, ruled against
students in a similar case. Telesca’s deci-
sion, announced October 18, applies to
the Western District, therefore it does

The Telesca ruling could indirectly at
fect Albany students, according to Stu-
dent Association Attorney Mark
Mishler. If the McCurn decision had
been the only federal court ruling on the
issue of student voting rights the New
York State government may have infor-
mally applied it to not only the area
covered by the Northern District, but to
the entire state, Mishler said. Since there
are two conflicting decisions, the state
would contradict the ruling of one judge
if it applied the decision of the other
judge throughout the state,

The polling place saga

As the situation stands now, however,
SUNYA students who have registered to
Vote at their schoo! address can vote in
their school community.

MeCurn ruled in Auerbach vs, Kinley
that Section 5-104 of the New York
State Election Law, ‘which states that
students neither gain nor lose their
residence when they move to attend
school, is unconstitutional.

This mearis, said Mishler, that a stu-
dent can declare his college address to be
his voting address.

In another part of the ruling, McCurn
stated that local election boards could
not interpret a section of the election
law which defines residence as ‘fixed
and permanent” in a manner that
discriminates against college students.

SA had obtained a temporary injunc-
tion from McCurn in October 1980 that
enabled SUNYA students to vote in
Albany. McCurn had issued that injunc-
tion for the Auerbach vs. Kinley case.

The case later became a class action
suit, in which all New York State college

students would be affected, | said
Mishler. r

According to Telesca’s ruling, the
Monroe County Board of Elections can
require college students to attend a hear-
ing to determine their residency before
allowing them to vote locally. Students
must prove residency before they are
allowed to register to vote in a particular
area, stated Telesca,

On social issues President Reagan has

ERA and against the use of quotas as a
method of rectifying past injustices. He

He explains in his campaign leaflet,

He said he feels he has ‘‘a decade of ex-
perience" for a job that ‘lasts a decade."

Irwin said he feels that the only way
anything can be changed is ‘for me to
become a judge. Judges can affect changes
successfully,"

Although he says he feels it will be ‘very
difficult to win" because he is a
Republican, Irwin maintains that his op-

Environment:
Despite his public pronouncement,
Reagan has a poor record on environmen-
tal issues. The mismanagement of the
E,P.A. and the resignations of James Watt
and Anne McGill Burford have been an
embarassment to his administration. His
policies on the sale of federal lands to

receed until well into 1985, Mondale's
arguments on their merits are difficult for
the average voter to be overly concerned
with, Stigmas attached to Mondale’s im-
age, as well as some political blunders ear-
ly on (i.e. Zacarro's finances and Bert
Lance's appointment) may have created a
hole too great for him to crawl out of.

Mondale has continued to press the
issues, and to fight the effects of the
onslaught of opinion polls which predict a
Reagan victory. His success in the televised
debates may have been too little too late,
but Mondale is by no means out of the
race,

Some issues Irwin repeatedly stresses
are: case scheduling, procedures for
Preventing child abuse, promoting the
creation of a night court, and dispute
mediation,

Irwin says he believes strongly that
“performance and compassion counts” in
the position of family Court Judge.

Irwin hopes to protect children from the
negative fallout that usually accompanies
the Family Court process. He says that
“'Kids are real people; fragile, easily hurt
when parents get involved in Family
Court,”

Irwin also hopes to reduce the Albany
County court's case-load through volu
tary use of mediators, in cases where pro-
blems can be solved by family members
themselves.

‘Clearly,"* Irwin charged, “it’s time for
our Family Court to act on reducing the

Misinformed people

To the Editor: 3

I feet compelled as a human being and as a Jew to
answer the misinformed Catholics who apparently feel
that Jews are unjustified when they speak against Univer-
sity scheduling.

Let me take a few moments to enlighten you. There are
some things you obviously are not aware of. On those
holidays that Jews complain about poor scheduling,
mainly Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, there is a time
element involved. Jewish holidays begin at sundown, This
may mean little to the uninformed, but to the Jews this
means that they cannot write, use a phone, or even travel
(including riding a bus) after this time. This is a serious
problem, Many students were “forced” to stay in Albany
on Yom Kippur, which by the way is a fast day, due to
poor scheduling, I don’t think the three misinformed
Catholics should condemn Jews who speak out about this
problem. They have as much of a right to protest as
anyone. Just because Jews speak the loudest, it doesn’t
mean we are the majority. 1 was very surprised to read
that statement.

There is, obviously, a common ground here. Don't
upset it, but find a way to work together. | must agree
that itis a terrible thing for Christian and other holidays
to be broken up. I agree that that is an injustice as well. A
good advisory plan would be for students to form a semi-
coalition of core representatives from different religious
groups on campus to protest University scheduling.

Bureaucratic blunder

To the Editor:

On October 30, we were walking in the basement of the
Business building and on a whim or should we say a
“sneaking suspician’’ we checked the “*holds"’ list posted
by the student accounts and billing office. Much to our
dismay we both found our social security numbers listed
on the computer printout. We then proceeded to search
for the reason that we were black-listed from pre-
registré At the student accounts and billing office we

were asked to take a number and had to wait 35 minutes
in a hallway with about IS other disgruntled and
dismayed victims of the bureaucracy. We finally got to
the service window and we were both told that we did not
‘owe any money and that it was their mistake to place a
hold on our records. Thus, this lengthy incarceration in
the bowels of the Business building was all for naught.

This is not the first time this type of incident has occur-
red to both of us and this wasteful, semi-annual inconve-
nience is becoming a nuisance.

We were lucky because we happened to catch the stu-
dent accounts and billing department's blunder before we
arrived at pre-registration, but the people who owe no
money to the university and are put through this un-
necessary chore of waiting to find out that they have no
financial obligations due are not going to be as lucky.
Also, we are seniors and pre-registration has just begun,
two weeks from now the lines at the student accounts and
billing window will undoubtedly be tremendous.

Is there a better way? If there is, it seems that the
university has failed to find it, In our more than three
years here we can see that this problem seems to be getting
worse as can be seen by the ever increasing sizes of peo-
ple's tempers and the lines.

Beauty of the body

To the Editor:

I would like to respond to the anonymous letter that
appeared in Tuesday's ASP. The letter called for Barnes
and Noble bookstore to refrain from selling Playboy and
Penthouse on the grounds that these magazines ‘'con-
tribute to violence against women" and are pornographic
publications that are means by which men subjegate
‘women,

Does the writer of that letter believe there is something
unclear and wrong about the female body? Playboy and
Penthouse, through the art of photography, enhance the
beauty of women. There is nothing wrong or por-
nographic about revealing the beauty of the female body.
Does the author of the etter consider Michelangelo's
“Venus de Milo" and many other great works of art por-
nography? It is narrow minded to consider a photograph
of a nude woman “pornography,” for rather then exploit
women, they are raised on a pedestal and their beauty
enhanced for all to see.

Another factor neglected by the anonymous author is
the fact that these women willingly posed for these photo
sessions. Yet the author would have us believe that it is
men who are exploiting women. No man used coercive
force to make those models pose. If these women pose
nude willingly men are not the ones to blame, Rather than
attack the men who buy or publish the magazines,
perhaps those women opposed to Playboy and Penthouse
should attempt to convince the models that they are being
exploited. | believe they will find those women and a great
many others do not agree with them on this matter. These
women who pose as models do so freely, for (and this
may come as a surprise to the anonymous author) they
have free will. No man forced them against their will to
pose for Playboy ar Penthouse.

Although the author of the letter did not consider it an
important point, the banning of Playboy or Penthouse
from the magazine racks of Barnes and Noble would in-
deed violate First Amendment rights. A great many peo-
ple, both men and women, enjoy these publications and
no one has the right to deny them this, The First Amend-
ment is very vulnerable to attacks of this nature, and we
must always be on guard against it’s infringement,

—John Spettell

Go out and vote

To the Editor:

This year NYPIRG focused its energies on registering
student voters, and we've helped register over 100,000
students for the November elections. Our work
culminated in the largest day of voter registration in New
York City history on October 4th, This campaign
represents the single largest voter registration effort ever
by a student organization.

However, registering voters is only the first step for us.
All too often, newly registered voters fail to use their
recently acquired political voice by never actually voting.
When asked why, they typically replly that they lacked
some specific information about voting. Our challenge
before Election day is to get follow-up information to,the
new voters we've registered. This week we are workirg 10
do just that. We want to make sure that you know Where
to vote, how to use the machines and what's at stake in
this critical election. We urge you to use your most
powerful political voice — your vote.

For the student vote, your vote is crucial. Sudents have

tical problem — they haven't been yoting and the
politicians know it. In the 1980 Pres ial election, only
18 percent of the 18 year-olds voted; lew than 40 percent
of all college students did, The declins in student voting
has diminished our political clout, hit we have already

taken the first step toward solving this problem — more
students are registered to vote this year than ever before,
More than one million students have registered through
the National Student Campaign for Voter Registration.
Now we must all take the next step and vote on November
6th,

The policies of the next administration will affect our
generation profoundly. Funding for financial aid will
determine our educational future; the next Supreme
Court will decide our civil liberties; the legacy of toxic
contamination will endanger our health; and the
escalating nuclear arms race will threaten our lives. Ralph
Nader once sai ‘The problems of the present and the
risks of the future are deep and plain. But let it not be said
that this generation would give up so little in order to
achieve so much.’ For the student vote the time is now.

First frat

To the Editor:

In your Oct. 16 edition of the ASP, you mistakenly
stated that Alpha Epsilon Pi is the first social fraternity
on the SUNY-Albany campus, Alpha Kappa Epsilon, of
which Iam a member, was formed and recognized on
March 9, 1984, AKE was formed as a social fraternity
‘open to anyone attending SUNY-Albany. On the con-
trary, AE Pi is open to Jewish, students only.

We, the members of Alpha Kappa Epsilon, would ap-
preciate equal time and proper representation as the first
social fraternity at SUNY-Albany. We have coordinated
several social functions, such as our RUSH party this fall
and our very successful Volleyball Tournament last
spring.

Ill-conceived plan

To the Editor:

This past Saturday 1 had an extremely frustrating ex-
perience with the University bus fee policy. After viewing
the situation several days later, 1 am still inclined to
believe that very little consideration was given to uptown
students when this bus fee policy was being deliberated
on, and when the final implementation was
accomplished.

Saturday morning, 10 a.m., | call the Campus Center
Info. desk and inquire where I can get bus tickets. | was
told to go to either university police, the rathskeller snack
bar, or to the circle bus ticket booth. Since my bus was
leaving in 10 minutes, it ruled out UPD, so instead I try
the Rat. Lo and behold, they “ran out”’ of tickets. Next, I
go 10 the CC Info. desk and ask again, This time I find
out that the circle ticket booth is open only on weekdays,
when the parking lot is open. Fortunately the woman
working the desk gave me one of her own tickets. I got on
the bus and got to Draper just in time for my
appointment,

At approximately 12 p.m., I go to public safety on
Draper, with the i assumption that if UPD sells
tickets upiown, they probably sell them downtown, also,
Well, | assumed incorrectly. You know what they say
about assuming! So, | call uptown UPD, to ask if they
know anywhere downtown that sells.tickets, Their reply?
Sorry, the only place that sells them is the Kumquat Din-
ing Hall — and they are closed on weekends. 1 ask what,
if anything, I should do, I'm told that that is my problem

The entire episode Saturday was entirely unnecessary.
The problem stems from the fact that the University did
not take into consideration the possibility of uptown
students not always having a handy supply of bus tickets,

‘What I would suggest is a more completely thought out
program in whick more numerous, specified places be
established where students can buy bus tickets, both up-
town and especially downtown. These should, include
Draper ibeay, and Draper public safety, all Alumni di

1g halls; and dining halls uptown, If the Universi
wishes dhe bus services to be fully utllzed, they. must
make some attempt to suit the students" schedules, whic!
contrary (0 most University services, continue on
weekends and after hours, Either more access points be
established both uptown and downtown, or the bus
drivers should be instructed to allow the student (o pay
the dime fare as they get on the bus, As things stand now,
the bus fee, due to its ill-conceived planning, is blatant
discrimination against uptown SUNYA students,

The percentage of minorities
attaining R.A. positions is hor-

racism and discrimination? It
most certainly is. I'm not saying
that racism is the sole reason for
the low quantity of minorities
holding R.A. positions, but what
1am saying, is that it certainly is
one of the factors contributing to
this problem,

First, not many minorities app-
ly for the R.A. position because
they feel that they will be
discriminated against. Or if they
do become an R.A. (by some
chance), they fear being uncom-
fortable, not fitting in, because
nine times out of ten, they will be
one out of the two minorities at-
taining the position (if not the on-
ly one).

Secondly, for the minorities
who do apply, the odds are
against them. But if there are only
one of two minorities applying,
the chances are that at least one
will receive the R.A. position,
after all, politics must come into
play. By granting one minority
the position helps them disprove
any claims of racism. But we
know better!

Moreover, during the R.A
process the dorm directors have

applicants. This interview carries

minority dorm directors at this
university. So once again, the
odds are against the minorities

just racial factors, however, this
was discrimination.

First, most of all the R.A.’s
have one set of friends that are
their primary group. Did this
restriction deny them the oppor-

were minorities, and it was this
fact that gave them one strike

I cannot even give cl ion

Learn these voting rights
before you cast your ballot

By Mark Mishler

‘On October 9, 1984 United States
District Court Judge Neil P. McCurn
decided that students in New York State
must be treatec in the same manner as
other citizens in regard to eligibility to
register and vote, Holding that New
York's constitutional and statutory provi-
sions limiting student voting |
violated the U.S. Constitution, —{t'S
Judge McCurn essentially made

preliminary injunction he had
issued in 1980. Law

SUNYA students should have
fa sense of pride regarding this landmark
decision as the case was initiated four years
ago by a group of SUNYA students who
had been denied the right to vote in Albany
County,

Despite Judge McCurn’s decision, some
students might still encounter difficulties
when they attempt to vote on election day.
This article will discuss certain problems
which might arise on election day and will
describe your rights if an obstacle is
encountered.

Two types of problems are likely to arise
for student voters on election day: the poll:
ing place may have no record of your
registration or a record of registration docs
exist but someone challenges your right to
vote. In both situations the law says that
you must be allowed to vote if you follow
certain procedures outlined below.

The polling place might not have a
record of your registration because some
confusion has existed regarding which
dorms are in which district and you might
have been placed in the wrong district by
mistake.

Section 8-302 of the Election Law pro-
vides a procedure for dealing with this
situation. The election official must allow

since submitting your registration), and
that your registration poll record appears
to be lost or misplaced. If you sign and
swear to this affidavit you will be allowed
to vote by paper ballot.

If the polling place does have a record of
your registration, it is possible that so-
meone at the polls (such as a poll watcher
for an election inspector) will challenge
your right to vote. As is the case with lost
or misplace registrations, you will be
allowed to vote if challenged as long as you
follow certain procedures. Section 8-504 of
the Election Law sets out the procedure to
be followed in this situation. The election
inspector will ask you to swear to an oath
known as the “preliminary oath’ in which
you will swear to answer truthfully to
questions which may be put to you concer
ning your qualifications as a voter. The in
spector may then ask you quesitons regar
ding the reason your right to vote was
challenged. You must answer any ques
tions asked by the inspector if they are
relevant to your qualificatins to vote. If

withdrawn, you will be permitted to vote
Ifthe inspectr continues to believe that you
are not cligible to vote, you must be allow
ed to take an oath known as the
“qualification oath" in which you will
swear that you are at least eighteen years
old, that you are a citizen of the United
States and that you have been a resident of

at least thirty days preceeding the election,
that you still reside at the same address
from which you registered, that you have
not already voted in this election, and that
you do not know of any reason why you
are not qualified to vote at this election.
You will also have to state that you are
aware that it is a crime to make any false
statement, You must be allowed to vote if
you take the oaths administered by the
election inspector.

tions keep tuition low and most students
are ineligible for financial aid, has suffered

poorer students will show enrollment

Student aid cuts approaching 20 percent
over the past four years’ already “have
reduced enrollment at a number of black
colleges, Epps pointed out in a phone in-
terview, and caused: a large number of
mid-year drop-outs. More students are at-

some schools from significant enrollment

and development. “The aid cuts have been
felt in terms of growth of our non-resident
student population,"” he explained,

Private schools may face even tougher
times than public colleges, Epps said,
because their higher tuition is forcing
students into less expensive state colleges.
“These private colleges usually have only
small endowments," he explained, ‘So
they depend to a large extent on tuition
and fees.”

While black: communities solidly sup-
port traditionally black colleges, Epps
recommended schools take decisive steps
to combat financial aid woes. Colleges
need to offer programs that are attrac-
tive,”” he stressed, “And schools must be
flexible in offering them, especially at con
venient times for working students,

Schools also must find new ways for
students to tinance their educations,
cultivate new sources of private funding
and recruit students aggressively, Epps
noted, "*Schools need to do a better job of
selling themselves,"" he maintained,

Without these innovations, Epps said,
“it's doubtful that some of these institu-
tions will survive,””

Schmitz. ‘Sometimes I forget where I

Dulkis.

This ended the scoring for the first half,
one in which the Danes spent mostly in the
Union side of the field. The defense played
exceptionally well, allowing Union only 6
shots in the first half. The Danes’ defen-
sive trap strategy also caused numerous of-

The pace of the game picked up in the
second half as they played what Coach
Amy Kidder called “their best half of soc-

goal of the game at 7:20 with an assist
from Dana Stam. It was another shot
which sailed over the hands of Union's

Another successful season recently end-
ed for the Albany men’s tennis team with a
sixth straight SUNYAC title. As usual for
this close-knit team, the success was due to
a team effort, The top three singles players
had a big hand in this season’s satisfying
results.

Teammates, friends, competitors, sup-
porters, and opponents can all describe the
relationship among Dave Grossman, at
number one singles, Tom Schmitz at
number two, and Jay Eisenberg at number
three. This also reflects the relationship of
the whole team.

Tennis is normally an individual sport;
one player going against another player or
in doubles, two partners against their two
‘opponents, But playing tennis in college is
different. One player represents a team,
and he plays against a player representing
the opposing team.

“Tennis is a very individual sport,” said
Eisenberg. ‘‘College tennis is a great ex-
perience by making an individual sport
more of a team sport. It’s a good feeling.
Knowing your teammates are cheering you

Grossman adds, ‘Somedays you play
more for yourself and then there are those
days when you're not into tennis but if you
win your match the team could win, You
have to win for the team. If you are not
giving 100 percent then you're hurting the
whole team.”

Eisenberg, now a junior, remembers a
match he had against Oneonta when he
was a sophomore. He was losing 5-1 in the
third set,

“Rob Karen and Tom Schmitz lit
talked me through the rest of the match
and I won it. It’s nice to have people on the
side rooting you on."” said Eisenberg.

Tom Schmitz pointed out what might be
a disadvantage. ‘While in a match I tend
{6 watch the other matches around me
because 1 was always the last one off the
court and never got to watch."

An example of this was at the
SUNYACS this season, The doubles match
that Schmitz and Grossman played had no
effect on the results and they both knew
that going into the match. Schmitz said,
“By the time we went out the third doubles
match was already on and it was a close

match. Our whole first set we watch
them.”*

Grossman agreed, ‘‘Since the match
didn’t mean anything you start watching
the match that does.””

Individually, all three juniors struggled
their freshman year breaking into the
tough Dane lineup.

Grossman, who played in high school
for Great Neck North, got into SUNY
Albany on the talented student program,
His decision to attend Albany State lied in
the academics and their status as a Divi-
sion III school wit i
tennis, “Ata Di
not be able to play,” said Grossman,

In his first year he mostly played sixth
through eighth singles and third doubles.
The following year he moved up to fourth
singles and first doubles with Dave Ulrich.
Last spring as a doubles team they made it
to the Nationals. This year he moved to
first singles and now plays first doubles
with Schmitz, Grossman noticed the dif-
ference in play level.

“First of all everyone you face can
play,” said Grossman. “Secondly, you
have to learn to win points because the
other players don’t lose them that easily.

Schmitz, a local product from Sc
grew up playing tournaments here on cam-
pus. He was offered a scholarship to
Washington State University, but thought
that it would be ridiculous to go there, He
decided against LeMoyne in Syracuse
because he didn’t like the looks of it.
Schmitz also turned down an offer to play
at Siena because their tennis program
looked weak, he then decided to attend
Albany State.

“It’s close, it has a good business school
and 1 knew the team was good," said
Schmitz, “I knew the local players that
were here were good but not outstanding,
so I figured I'd have no problem coming in
and playing. Then I saw how tough they
were."

That first year, four out of the top six
players were seniors. Schmitz remembers
that for him to get into the starting lineup,
he had to take Lerner’s number six spot.

“1 felt bad about trying to beat him,”
said the junior, ‘1 thought the other guys
wouldn't like me — he was a senior and
was friends with all those guys." Schmitz

The only teams to beat Albany were
Brandeis, 22 points, the reigning Na-

points, third in the nation last year and
ranked sixth in 1984, The Danes third
place finish, 72 points, should help them
finally crack the top-10 in the National
rankings. Individually, senior Ed

tain Jim Erwin, 10th in 26:59, were both

The men harriers will have lots of

“Nowadays, the kids don't get anything, nessee football Coach Johnny Majors
said, ‘IS not fair, because some of them come from homes where the parents can't af-

Majors is one of many coaches and athletic directors who support the idea of paying

would be: Is it the money going to be just for football?"

In early 1983, Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker left Georgia a year carly and,
signed a multimillion dollar contract with the New Jersey Generals of the United States

Leffe finishes strong in State Championships

By Perry Tischler
STAFF WRITER

If there were ever a distinct parallel to
the Dane netwomen’s season, it was this
year's State Championship, A tournament
marred by bad luck and flashes of
greatness were all too familiar to Coach
Jim Serbalik's 1984 edition of the Albany
State women's tennis team,

The flashes of greatness came in the
form of number one singles Debbie Leffe,
who went further than any Dane had gone
before. The seventh-sceded Leffe got a bye
in the first round and faced Alfred's
‘number two singles, McDaniel in the se-
‘cond round, Leffe made short work of her
in a strong 6-2, 6-1 win.

‘The third round pitted Leffe, against
Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT)
number two singles Tamler, A fine perfor-
mance was turned in by Leffe as she over-
came Tamler, 7-5, 6-4 to advance into the
semifinals, Unfortunately, the number one
seeded Pam Thompson was her next oppo-
nent, Skidmore’s number one player had a
tough battle, but finally took Leffe 7-5,
6-3 in a thrilling confrontation, Thompson
went on to win the whole tournament,

Leffe's work was far from over. In thé
consolation rounds, Leffe wreaked havoc
and advanced to the finals. Her first victim
was the number ninth seede Payne of RIT,
In a tough three-set confrontation, Leffe
‘overcame Payne, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4,

‘Next, Leffe sought revenge on Skidmore
when she faced number eight seed,
Carolyn Spellman. In a resiliant effort,
Leffe fought back for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 vic-
tory that catapulted her to the finals, Un-
fortunately, Leffe ran into her old
nemesis, Bonnie Loedel. The number two
seeded Binghamton star ended Leffe's
reign of-terror with a 6-1, 6-2 thrashing,

Coach Serbalik was quick to throw
heaps of praise on his singles star. ‘Debbie

As Albany luck would have it, Chiodo

However, cighth-seeded Carolyn Spellman
stopped Chiodo, 6-3, 6-2 to end Albany's
singles attack for 1984, Leffe and Chiodo
combined to win seven out of ten matches.

The Dane doubles didn't fare as well as
their singles counterparts. Albany's (op
Dane doubles duo Ellen Yun and Nina
‘Cheung had to face the number two seeded
Valerie Yillo-Mary Vernon combination
from Binghamton. The Colonials’ duo
blew Yun and Cheung out 6-1, 6-1.

Yun and Cheung did no better in the
consolation round as Kelly Lambert and
Betty Dyatte of Hamilton thrashed them
6-4, 6-3.

“In this tournament, the draw of the lot
can knock you out before you even play,”
remarked Serbalik. This was apparent as
the newly formed team of Nancy Forbes
and Lisa Valins fell to the Hartwich
of Bostick and Gamer, 6-4, 6-0.

The consolation round was just some
additional salt to this double wound as the
Fredonia tandem of Termant and Deluca
took Valins and Forbes, 6-2, 6-0 leaving
the total of Albany's doubles wins at zero.

It might not be a Grand Slam win or
even a single Davis Cup, but for this gritty
group, this will do just fine. Fighting in-
juries, academics, and various other per-
Sonal committments, the squad was slowed
down and held back from reaching their
potential.

However, they still achieved many goals
and gained valuable experience for the spi
ing season.

Buffalo’s air attack still potent without Barrett

Barrett quarterbacked Buffalo for four
glorious years, breaking every passing
record in Bulls’ history, Following last
year's graduation, he was invited to tryout
for the NFL's Buffalo Bills, but was cut
two weeks into training camp. There were
no other offers so Barrett chose to become
an assistant coach at a small college in
Mlinois.

‘There was speculation that without Bar-
rett, “"Dando’s Airforce” (the nickname
given to Coach Bill Dando’s pass-oriented
offense) might be temporarily grounded,
But that has not been the case this season,

Last year’s backup,Ken Hyer, has stop-
ped into the quarterbacking role and has
done superbly, completing 57 percent of
his passes for 1403 yards, He has also ac-
cumulated nine touchdown passes in eight
games.

Tomorrow afternoon, the Bulls will
showease their potent aerial attack as the
3-5 Albany State Great Danes battle Buf-
falo University on University Field.

The Danes are recovering from their
most heart-wrenching defeat of the season
~ a 35-32 loss to sixth-ranked Hofstra,

According to some of the players, some
positive things did come out of the last-
minute defeat to Hofstra. The Danes prov-

ed to many observers and themselves that
their below .500 record doesn't accurately
reflect the quality of their squad.

“Going into the Hofstra game we
thought we were a good team," explained
wide receiver John Donnelly, who was a
key force in the game. ‘This week we
know we have a good team.’

As has been the story throughout the
season, freshman quarterback Jeff Russell
is not completely fit. He went into the
Hofstra game with a bruised side and
walked off the field Saturday in. more
severe condition.

Russell was unable to practice Wednes-
day or Thursday, but Coach Ford says he
should be ready by gametime.

“He's only played two games healthy,
said Coach Ford, ‘He's still a young ki
and he’s still skinny, I'll tell ya, his ski
close to the bone.”

Fullback Dave Soldini will enter tomor-
row's contest coming off yet another 100
plus performance, The fullback from
Staten Island has compiled 765 yards, and
with two games remaining, he has a
legitimate chance to break the 1000-yard.
plateau along with the Danes’ all-time
rushing record of 1,009 yards,

“+L always knew he'd be a great football
player,” said Ford. ‘He's had some
outstanding games for us this year,
especially the last few game:

Part of the reason why Soldini has been
piling up the yardage is because of the fan-
tastic blocking from the right side of the
offensive Jine,, John ‘The Sawman’?

Sawchuck and Tom Jacobs have been
mauling opposing defensive lines, especial-
ly the last four weeks.
