Timely budget appearsunlikely

Legislature seeking new sources of revenue

By Morgan Lyle
NEWS EDITOR

The state government is still wrestling with its budget
for the 1989 fiscal year, and a final agreement on how
much money to raise and what to spend it on seems
unlikely before the deadline of midnight tonight.

“The state Legislature will pass emergency spending
measures so that it can pay its bills, including the next
regular payday for state employees on April 5, in the
abscence of a budget, if no agreement is reached by them.

As of Thursday, leaders of the state Senate and
Assembly were trying to
decide where to find the
money they need to fund
the programs they want.

After a meeting Wednes-
day between Gov. Mario
Cuomo, Assembly Speaker
Mel Miller, and Senate Ma-
joriy Leader Ralph Marino,
Cuomo said the Legislature
had accounted for more
than $900 million in new
taxes and fees, but said no
firm agreement had been
reached.

In his proposed budget,
Cuomo called for an in-
crease in revenues of $814
million, 4.1 percent of the
total budget. At the time,
he gave the state’s inflation
rate as 4.7 percent. He has
said since then that he
would agree to spending up
to the inflation rate if the
ea Spee Governor Mario Cuomo

Cuomo has accepted a new figure of 5.1 percent as the
inflation rate, and said that to spend up to that amount
would require the Legislature to find $300 million in new
revenues.

Neither Cuomo, Miller nor Marino would specify what
taxes or fees were being considered.

Cuomo’s proposed budget gives SUNY $47 million
Jess than it requested to maintain current levels of opera-
tion. SUNY officials have said that the cut would cost the
system as many as 2,000 course sections, and would bring
about cutbacks in services and programs.

At SUNYA, officials have estimated that 75 positions
could be lost, and that other belt-tightening measures
would have to be taken.

SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone has advocated a
tuition increase as a way of lessening the impact of budget
cuts, and has won the support of some members of the
Board of Trustees, including Chair Donald Blinken.

But until recently, Johnstone had met staunch opposi-
tion to a tution increase from Cuomo. That apparently
changed after a March 17 meeting between the two men,
at which Johnstone said he would support the formation
of a management advisory
board to help SUNY find
ways to save money.
Cuomo had said that the
University system could
find ways to trim excess
spending without curtailing
services.

After the meeting,
Cuomo relented in his op-
position to a tuition
increase.

“The governor still does
not like the idea of a tuition
increase,’ said Cuomo
spokesman Terry Lynam,
but ‘‘the context of
(Johnstone’s) request is dif-
ferent now.”

Lynam said Cuomo was
‘particulary encouraged
with Chancellor
Johnstone’s plan” to accept
an advisory panel and con-
ceded that the SUNY ad-
ministration is ‘‘at least
making an effort.’’

According to Harry Charlton, SUNY communications
officer, Johnstone told the Board of Trustees last week
that both Cuomo and the Chancellor agreed on the need
to maintain essential services, and on University’s com-
mittments to access and excellence.

Johnstone told the Trustees that he was grateful for
Cuomo’s ‘‘openness,”” Charlton said.

In his report to the Board, Johnstone said that the ad-
visory panel would be made up of current or retired ex-
ecutives who would “‘not be in conflict with or superced-

Students to decide the fate of SA

Lamb vetoes fee increase resolution; Council may override

By lan Wagreich
NEWS EDITOR

The existence of the Student
Association next semester will rely
heavily on the outcome of a referen-
dum in next week’s elections.

Students will face the question of
whether they think SA should con-
tinue to be funded by the student ac-
tivity fee, which would remain man-
datory if the SUNYA student body
votes in favor.

The activity fee funds all the of the
SA-funded groups as well as the pro-
gramming that comes out of the SA
office.

If the referendum fails, SA will be
in a situation that would require the
streamlining of activities and of
groups that it funds. “It will change
campus life,” if it fails, said Nadya
Lawson, SA Central Council Off-
Campus representative and Budget
Committee chair.

Despite the fact that the referen-
dum, held every two years, has never

failed on the SUNYA campus, stu-

dent leaders are concerned that the
vote may not pass due to a low voter
turnout.

The SUNY Central Administra-
tion has mandated that the activity
fee be voted on by at least 10 percent
of the student body and passed by 60
percent of those who vote.

Brian Voronkov, co-director of
the Albany Inform, a committee for-
mulated to pass the referendum, said
that this will be a quiet election. He
attributed that to the non-
controversial string of candidates, or
the issues that are involved during
the race. “There is no one magnetic
issue to grab people,’’ Voronkov
said.

The main emphasis in advertising
for the referendum is by word of
mouth from the candidates. ‘‘It’s
important for candidates to stress
the need for the mandatory student
activity fee,’’ said James Lamb, SA
President. SA has also placed adver-
tisements in on-campus publications
as well as speading the word.

If the referendum fails because of
voter turnout, it will be re-run, ac-
cording to Voronkov.

“J implore all undergraduate
students to get out and vote for the
Mandatory Student Activity Fee, to
keep the heart pumping, to keep the
student activities alive and secure,”’
Lamb said.

A potential referendum, which
some SA members feel will not have
an effect on the activity fee passage,
is the question of raising the activity
fee by $7 for the entire academic
year. The current fee is $103.

Although the bill to place the
referendum on the ballot has been
passed unanimously by Central
Council, it was vetoed by Lamb
Thursday night.

“J don’t think it’s appropriate as a
student association to take stands
against a tuition and UAS increase, a
new proposed parking fee and then
turn around and suggest that it’s
okay to raise our own activity fee at

Court strikes down
LI. grouper law

By T. E. Kane
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

In a decision that could have wide ranging effects for
student housing in Albany, the New York State Court
of Appeals ruled last week that the use of a town or-
dinance in Brookhaven, Long Island, to restrict the
number of unrelated persons living in the same dwelling
violated the State Constitution.

Although the decision does not bind the City of
Albany’s Building Department code enforcement office
to amend its ‘‘grouper” law, the court’s decision does
set a strong legal precedent to overturn the city’s or-
dinance in the event a case is filed in a local court.

“It adds ammunition to a case that is brought before
a judge here in Albany,” said Jim Cullen, vice president
for the Student Association of the State University, who
has worked on the campaign to strike down the existing
Albany grouper law.

The Albany grouper ordinance prohibits more than
three non-related persons living together who are not
part of a traditional family. The ordinance allows four
or more people to live together only if they are related
by blood, or are members of a ‘‘functionally
equivalent” family.

In the Brookhaven case, the court ruled that the

township ordinance was too restrictive in its definition
of “‘family’’ and violated the New York State due pro-
cess clause.
The court cited the McMinn vs. Oyster Bay case
which concerns the same issue. The courts decided that
an Oyster Bay ordinance was invalid because it
restricted the number of nonrelated persons residing
together asa functionally equivalent family, but did not
restrict related persons.

“The question is what constitutes the ‘functional
equivalent’ of a family,’’ Cullen said concerning the
issue of the Albany ordinance.

The current Albany law on the books does not have a
specific definition of a functionally equivalent family.

“The ordinance is so vague it is impossible to know
what it means,’’ said Mark Mishler, a former Student
Association lawyer who spearheaded the campaign
against the Albany grouper law.

.Mishler said that since 12 students were taken to court
by the City in 1986, there have not been any other cases
brought to court concerning students and the grouper
law.

“It’s difficult to determine the stance of the court on
the ordinance because there has not been a ruling,”’
Mishler said.

Cullen said the city has not vigorously enforced the
law in recent years.

“Due to pressure from students, the city has aban-
doned pursuing students violating the grouper law,”’
Cullen said.

Student Association lawyer Joseph Zumbo said that
the ruling in the Brookhaven case could be important
because that town’s ordinance is similar to Albany’s.

The court’s decision is a hopeful sign, Cullen said.

“It’s a victory in one sense, but in another sense it’s
not a victory because the Albany ordinance still
stands,’’ Cullen said.

Ventures expensive

Moscow
(AP) A group of American and Soviet
businessmen said Thursday they have sign-
ed an agreement that could create joint
ventures worth up to $10 billion over the
next two decades.

The agreement reached by the American
Trade Consortium and the Soviet Foreign
Economic Consortium establishes a legal
and business framework for the develop-
ment of joint ventures between the two
groups.

It was the first time a private commer-
cial agreement was signed in the Kremlin
and caps a year of negotiations, said James
H. Giffen, president of the American
group.

Some of the possible joint ventures
could include oilseed processing, manufac-
ture of floppy discs and production of
crackers and cereals.

Giffen said difficult issues such as ways
to repatriate profits earned in the Soviet
Union and how investments will be made
had been resolved ‘“‘in principle’? by the
agreement.

Seaman intoxicated

Valdez, Alaska
(AP) The captain of the oil tanker Exxon
Valdez was fired Thursday following in-
vestigation that determined he was legally
drunk around the time his ship ran
aground, causing the nation’s worst oil
spill.

The National Transportation Safety
Board said Capt. Joseph Hazelwood, Who
had turned over the command of the Exx-
on Valdez to an unqualified third mate
before the accidant, had a blood-alcohol
level of .061 when he was tested nine hours
later.

That exceeds the standard of intoxica-
tion under federal law for operating a
commercial vessel at sea, which is .04 per-
cent, according to William Woody, who
headed a four-member NTSB team in-
vestigating the tanker accident.

Maximum criminal penalties for
operating a ship while intoxicated include
a $5,000 fine and up to a year in jail, Coast
Guard authorities said. In addition,
violators face the loss of their seaman’s
license and up to $1,000 in civil penalties.

Evidence revealed

Washington
(AP) As evidence of the diversion of Iran
arms sales money to the Nicaraguan rebels

PREVIEW OF EVENTS

seeped out, one stunned Justice Depart-
ment official said, ‘‘Jeez, that can’t be,”
while another remarked, ‘‘Your’re kid-
ding,’’ an aide to former Attorney General
Edwin Meese III testified yersterday.

John Richardson, the attorney general’s
ex-chief of staff, told the jury at Oliver
North’s Iran-Contra trial that as he sat in
North’s office at the National Security
Council on Nov. 22, 1986, Meese aide
William Bradford Reynolds ‘“‘gave me a
nudge under the table.””

Richardson said Reynolds then showed
him a portion of a memo by North outlin-
ing a planned diversion of money from the
Iran arms sales to the Contra rebels.

“I said something under my like, ‘Jeez,
that can’t be,’ and Brad shrugged and
went back to what he was doing after
returning the memo to the file,’’ Richard-
son said.

Cleanup cutback

Washington
(AP) President George Bush’s budget of-

.»Your guess Is as good as ours...

fice has proposed a 28 percent cut in funds |
for the cleanup of the West Valley nuclear. |
waste facility, which could set back the |
project’s timetable another four years, of-
ficials said.

The cut from $180 million to $130
million during the next two years was
negotiated between the Energy Depart-
ment and the White House Office of
Management and Budget as part of Bush’s
“flexible freeze” program, officials said.

Although the cut has not been approved
by Congress, the state and federal officials |
who testified about the cleanup project in
a hearing Wednesday spoke of the cut as
virtually certain.

John Baublitz, a Bush administration
official, said that he had ‘‘no safety con-
cerns at all’’ about the additional four-
year delay, which would push back com-
pletion of the first phase of the project
solidification of the high-level nuclear
wastes into glass logs from 1994 to 1998.

Ted DeBoer, a New York state official,
said the delay would cause no ‘immediate
health and safety problems.””

More go to work

Albany
(AP) New York state’s unemployment rate
fell to 5.5 percent in February, down
slightly from January’s 5.6 percent rate,

| state Labor Department officials reported

Thursday.

Jere chrauf, director of the depart-
ment’s Division of Research and Statistics,
said ‘‘the number of people employed in
the state hit a record high for the month of
February.”

Shcrauf also reported that “‘the
unemployment rate was the third lowest on
record for the month.”

While the number of people employed,
8.15 million, hit a record high for a
February, there were still 18,000 fewer
New Yorkers at work than in January, said
department officials.

And while the February unemployment
rate of 5.5 percent may have been the third
lowest in history for the month, it stood at
just 4.4 percent in February of last year.

Repair funds needed

Canton
(AP) What did New York’s voters get
when they approved a $3 billion bond act
last November?

State officials say they got the best road-
and-bridge repair program that borrowed
money can buy. But with thousands of
state and local bridges in need of repair, is
enough of the massive borrowing program
going to what everyone agrees is among
New York’s most pressing transportation
safety problems?

According to the state Department of
Transportation, only about 8 percent of
the $3 billion bond act, or about $257
million, has been set aside for local bridge
repairs. Of that, $200 million will be used
to help treat New York City’s ailing bridge
system.

That leaves $57 million, a relative drop
in the bucket, earmarked so far to help
localities ouside of New York City fund
repairs on the bridges they maintain.

The bond issue pie was carefully carved
up by Gov. Mario Cuomo and the
Legislature last year to reflect both the
transportation needs of New York’s
diverse regions as well as the political con-
siderations of the state’s leaders.

SUNYA group criticized at USSA ___,,/sING VOICES—
annual Washington conference

By Greg Shaub
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

United State Student Association placed SUNYA
under probation at the 20th Annual Legislative
Conference held in Washington D.C. on the
weekend of March 17.

Some student leaders faulted student Association
President James Lamb for the punitive measure
levied against SUNYA and the subsequent embar-
rassment in front of the many colleges represented
at the national conference. Several student leaders
have also expressed dissatisfaction with the past and
present performance of SUNYA’s USSA delegate,
Jason Epstein.

The probation came as a result of the SUNYA
delegation’s failure to fulfill Affirmative Action
guidelines required by USSA; according to USSA
President Fred Azcarate in Washington. The
guidelines call for a school with six or more
delegates, such as SUNY A. to have repressentatives
including at 1east one woman, one person of color
and one miscellaneous member, such as a veteran,
lesbian, disabled, non-traditional or gay-bi-sexual,
in order to satisfy the Affirmative Action
requirements.

Most students manage to meet the requirements,
according to Azcarate.

The probation is to encourage campuses to meet
the requirements and could result in the loss of
voting rights for SUNYA if the requirements are
not met at the next conference to be held this sum-
mer at Berkely, California, he said.

SUNYA did fulfill the requirements, according
to Epstein, and each of the groups were
represented. The problem arose when one person
requested anonymity for his. or herself, Epstein
said.

Student Association President Lamb agreed that
the requirements were fulfilled. The issue, accor-
ding to Lamb, is whether a person must relinquish
or reveal personal information about themself in
order to be eligible to attend the conference. He
believes the policy contradicts the purpose of
USSA, which is to provide a sensitive environment
for groups such as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance

(GALA) and Disabled Students Association. ‘That
person had a right to attend:he conference,” Lamb
said.

Julius Davis, vice president for campus affairs
for SASU, believes Lamb could have been better
prepared in light of the fact that he has attended a
USSA conference in the past. The arrangements
lacked in forethought, Davis said. 4

“It was an error on his part not to plan.’’ Davis,
however, does not feel that Lamb is against affir-
mative action guidelines.

Genevieve Connor SUNYA SASU delegate,
believes the probation places a bad stigma against
the school and against people of color.

Epstein disagreed. ‘I don’t think we looked
bad,’’ he said. He believes most people realized the
reasons for the probation and were therefore sym-
pathetic. Epstein objects to the affirmative action
standards and believes people should have the right
to maintain anonymity, and ‘‘remain in the closet.’”

Epstein questioned the constitutionality of the af-
firmative action quota and cited the ‘‘Bakke”
Supreme Court case which, according to Epstein,
found affirmative action quotas to be
unconstitutional.

Kelly Bates, public relations chair for SA central
council, who also attended the Washington con-
ference, blamed Lamb for not recruiting people
from groups such a GALA oor the Disabled
Students Association to fulfill the requirements.
She feel SUNYA looked bad as a result.

Epstein received harsh criticism from Davis for
his performance as USSA delegate. Davis accused
Epstein of failing in his responsibilities and believes
Epstein should resign. Epstein has not kept students
informed of USSA news, nor has he communicated
students’ opinions back to USSA, Davis said.

“Students are being robbed,”’ Davis said in
reference to the students fight to bring USSA to
campus, when they went to court to fight for USSA
funding, which administrators opposed. ‘Thank
God his term is almost over,” Davis said.

Epstein, who said he has withdrawn his name
form the ballot for re-election, responded to Davis’
attack by stating, “‘If he has a bone to pick with me,
he should keep our appointments.”

Bates agreed that Epstein, who left the con-
ference a day early, missing Lobby Day, had not
been very active. She did not single out Epstein for
attack, but rather accused all except Connor and
herself of contributing too little.

Lamb would not give a personal opinion concer-
ning Epstein’s performance as USSA delegate.
“The student body elected him,’”’ Lamb said. He
feels it is the students’ responsibility to decide
whether Epstein is doing his job and to take action
according to their beliefs.

Most agreed, despite several problems, that the
conference, aimed at educating students on impor-
tant issues as well as providing an opportunity to
lobby legislators, was successful.

Connor called the conference “sensitizing.”
Women of color recieved their own caucus and
gained their own voice. “The conference showed ig-
norant students the real effect of affirmative ac-

Computer thefts prompt security precautions

DONNETT BARNETT UPS
Computer equipment seen through windows Is a tempting target for theives.

By Pete LaMassa
ASSOCIATE ASPECTS EDITOR

The theft of computer equipment from
two first-floor faculty offices has pro-
mpted the department of Public Safety to
remind the deans, directors and students
of the steps that should be taken to ensure
security.

John Henighan, assistant director for
Public Safety said both incidents involved
materials that were clearly visible from the
outside, and both rooms were entered
when windows were cut with a glass cutter
and then unlocked. In each case, a com-
puter was not secured to a desk or table.

On Feb. 11, a social science office was
broken into and a Zenith Keyboard and a
Hewlett-Packard printer were taken. That
same weekend, the Biology building was
hit, and a Lotus 1-2-3 software diskette
and a star printer were later reported miss-
ing. An adjacent room was entered, but
nothing was taken. According to
Henighan, because of the similarities of
the crimes, it is assumed that the jobs were
done by the same person.

In another incident from earlier in the
semester, a computer that was taken from
SUNYA was found at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute when someone was
seen with the equipment, which had a
SUNY identity tag. According to RPI dean
Dave Thompson, the student, whose name
was not released, has gone before a
judicial board and is now appealing.

Heighan said that SUNYA is not press-
ing charges. ‘The property has been
recovered and the case is being processed
satisfactorily (at RPI),’’ he said. As a
result of the burglary, Public Safety did
take a closer look at the University’s
security program.

Public Safety, in a letter to faculty
members, urged the campus to follow
these steps to reduce the chance of theft of
computers and other valuable objects:

1) Place your equipment out.of the view
of the public. Close your curtains when
you leave for the day. If equipment is not
seen, the thief will move on.

2) When feasible, secure your equipment
with one of the many Commercial Security
products available.

3) Lock your office or dorm room when
you leave.

4)‘* Participate in Operation ID. If the
equipment is found, it can be identified as
yours,” the letter said.

The way to take advantage of Operation
ID is to bring in the merchandise so that a
number can be engraved on a core compo-
nent. If it is stolen, it would be immediate-
ly brought to SUNYA Public Safety when
found. ‘‘Not a lot comes back,’”’ admitted
Henighan, “but if (the ID number) is visi-
ble, it works as a deterrent.’’ Campus
residents should go to Public Safety to
have this done, while off-campus students
can work directly through the Albany
Police Department, he said. o

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Schools
already are drug free, a Western Ken-
tucky University professor has asserted.

The reason is that students are getting
high off campus instead.

A “scant” 2 to 3 percent of all
adolescents use drugs on their school
grounds, WKU Prof. Ron Adams found
in a study of student drug use.

“We don’t have a ‘school drug pro-
blem’. We have a community drug pro-
blem,” argued Adams, who conducted
the survey for PRIDE (Parents Resource
Institute for Drug Education), an
Atlanta-based group.

Adams did conclude that teenagers’
use of drugs and alcohol was
“epidemic.’”

More than two-thirds of the high
school seniors he surveyed said they
drank beer. More than half drank hard li-
quor, and 25 percent smoked marijuana.

They favored ingesting it all in the
privacy of cars or their own homes, not
in schools.

Adams added his survey found inner
city kids used drugs less than students in
other areas. “‘We may be laboring under
a false impression that the majority of
drug use occurs with inner city black

Abbe elected new IFC president

Aims to improve Greek image, relations on campus

By Laurie Kellman
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

The Interfraternity Council elected a
new executive board last night, which is
now composed of six member fraternities
to fill seven board positions.

New President elect David Abbe said’
there’s much ahead of him in terms of pro-
moting greek unity and fighting the
system’s negative image.

Abbe called greek unity his main priori-

ty, saying sororities and fraternities need
to improve relations with the rest of the
school.
“We've not always been treated fairly by
the university as a whole,’”’ Abbe said.
“‘We'd like to try to dispel the ‘Animal
House’ image, because that’s not what
we’re all about.‘

Abbe said he believes greeks have
become more responsible about partying,
and deserve the reponsibility of running
fraternity and sorority houses.

“Everybody parties with Greeks - we’re
the ones who throw the organized parties,
so we’re the ones who come under the
most fire.”’

*(Greek) Parties are a service to the
University,’’ Abbe added. ‘‘We run buses
to and from the circle, so as to discourage
drunk driving.” f

According to Abbe, the University of
Buffalo had one of the first SUNY frater-
nity rows, and Albany’s Greek community
will soon follow in those footsteps.

Abbe is scheduled to take office in mid-
April, at the conclusion of Greek Week.
He currently serves as the SFO - Special
Functions Officer. Passing the torch will
be senior Steve Behar of Kappa Sigma
Alpha.

“I think I set a good foundation for
Dave,”’ Behar said. ‘‘He’s got a good ex-
ecutive board that works together.
Hopefully he’ll be able.to carry the torch
and work toward some long term goals.”

Behar said he would like to see the Pan
Hellenic Council and the SFC participate
in more activities together.

“We've already had a good start,”
Behar said. ‘‘We’ve attended each other’s

Voter sign-up

By Elizabeth Meltzer

STAFF WRITER
SUNY might be mailing out more than
report cards if a bill proposed by the
Assembly passes on Friday. The legisla-
tion would require SUNY to mail voters’
registration cards to eligible students.

The bill would require the SUNY
Board of Trustees, in the month of
September and between January Ist and
the end of the school year, to send an ap-
plication for registration and enrollment
to every student in SUNY who is eligible

According to a written statement from
the Student Association of the State
University (SASU), which supports the
legislation, the United States is ‘“‘dead
last in the world in terms of voter tur-
nout,”’ and this measure would improve
voter registration by having SUNY use its
already established bureacracy in
registering students to vote.

University of New York responsible for
allocating the registration cards. These

Jim Cullen, SASU Vice President for
Campus Affairs, is in favor of the pro-
posed bill, saying it would “maximize
student participation” and ‘‘allow us to
work with the administration.”’

Cullen said opponents to the bill cite
the problem as a financial one. The costs
refer to the postage that would be
necessary for the mailing.

Cullen, however, insists that all the on-
campus mailings would allow the univer-
sity to bypass the need for postage and
thus greatly reduce any ensuing costs.

Sandra Mardon, SUNY Assistant
Vice-Chancellor for Governmental Rela-
tions, said the administration has not
taken a position on the bill, but added
that ‘‘we are not opposed to students
voting.’” Oo

Anorexia: a desire for control

By Mark Gesner

and Regina Williams

At nineteen Jenny feels it’s about time that she
have complete charge over her life. She decides that
through extensive dieting her goal of the control
can be reached. Yet after many weeks of nearly
starving herself, Jenny still sees a fat person stan-
ding in front of the mirror. At a height of 5 feet 3
inches and a weight of 80 pounds, Jenny is afflicted
with anorexia nervosa.

Jenny is a ficticious character, but her personality

disorder, anorexia nervosa, is very real. Anorexia
nervosa is characterized by an intense fear. of
becoming obese, which does not diminish as weight
loss progresses. It is a disease where emotional pro-
blems are dealt with by means of self-starvation.
According to psychotherapist Gail George, the suf-
ferers of this illness can lose more than 25 percent
of their original body weight. George said 90 per-
cent of the cases involve females who range in age
from 12 to 25 years. R

In order to help an individual Middle
with anorexia, it is crucial to
understand the psychology Earth
behind the disease. ‘There is a
great deal of discipline involved in Roots
denying yourself treats and foods which are very
satisfying,’ commented George.

An anorexia sufferer gets satisfaction from their
self-denial program. The most prominent sympton
is the drive for thinness. Losing weight or main-
taining a low weight are closely bound to a quest
for self-control and an improvement in low self-
esteem. And in actuality wisdom is involved in their
extreme approach.

George said that, “They are trying to get control
of their life by simplifying the world around them,
and they think that they’re hurting no one else in
the process.’”

Although they are starving, anorexics often ex-
perience excess energy. Many exercise vigorously
and channel their energy into this area. Not unlike
many athletes, anorexics push their bodies to the
extent of pain in order to prove to themselves and
others that there exists something that they can ex-
cel in. Both make ‘“‘training”’ the center focus of
their_lives, and receive satisfaction from that

dedication.

However, there is one crucial difference between
the athlete and the individual with anorexia. ‘‘The
person with anorexia nervosa does it alone. There is
no one there to tell them that they have gone far
enough,”’ explained George.

Some believe that the frequency of anorexia
among women stems from society’s emphasis on
looking thin. Jean Kilborne, in her lecture “Killing
Us Softly,”’ discusses the impact that advertisement
can have on the image women have of themselves
and how they should or shouldn’t look. The Miss
American and Miss Universe pageants claim to no
longer rate women in swimsuit competitions and
stress more of a focus on intelligence, yet the pic-
ture that such activities portray is quite obvious. In
order to be eligible to represent your state or even
your country you must be beautiful and most of all
THIN.

“Society tends not to look deeper than just a
pretty face,”’ said Elissa Kane, former co-facilitator
of the Introduction to Feminism course taught at
SUNYA. “How can a woman feel good about
herself when the media contunues to portray the
ideal woman as thin and sexy? In our society
women are defined in terms of beauty while men
are defined in terms of intelligence.”

With spring now here and summer soon on its
way, many of us are thinking of swimsuits and
beaches. Women, particularly college students, are
often guilty of using unhealthy prcatices like starva-
tion in order to achieve a desired weight. However,
it is important to keep in mind the danger of such
practices and the possibility of a once-in-a-while
habit becoming a daily activity, as with the
anorexic.

ia nervosa, or would just like some more informa-

Council approves Chief Justice appointment

By Gil Kaminer
STAFF WRITER

Throughout the year, Student Associa-
tion Central Council and the Executive
Branch have worked together passing bills,
sometimes peacefully, other times, with
disagreements. These disagreements have
become more evident during the last two
Council meetings.

During the meeting on March 15, Coun-
cil’s Finance Committee introduced a bill
that proposed a transfer of $2,500 from
the Capital Development Line (CDL) to
the Emergency Spending Line (ESL). The
reason given by the committee for the
transfer was to make up for monies given
to University Cinemas for new equipment.

SA President James Lamb tried to speak
out on the bill after a motion to put it toa
vote had been approved and he was
prevented from doing so. Council Chair
Shawn Thompson explained that
parliamentary procedure must be followed
in determining whether the president, or
anyone can talk. If the president’s speak-
ing breaks parliamentary procedure, he
can not speak, it was determined.

The bill passed, but without quorum, or
two-thirds of present members. This
meant that at any time, when a quorum
was reached, the bill could be brought
back.

Vice-Chair Dan Peltz brought the bill
back to the Council floor when a quorum
had been achieved, and Lamb wa given a
chance to speak. ‘‘My job is to enforce SA
policy,’’ Lamb said. ‘This bill violates the
policy that Council created.’”” He con-
tinued, “‘it is illegal (according to policy)
to take money from the CDL and put it in
the ESL. It would be illegal for Council to
pass this bill.”’

Despite Lamb’s explanations Council
continued to debate the bill. After con-
sideration the bill was withdrawn.

At the March 29th meeting, Lamb’s
judgement was questioned by some of the
Council members in regard to his appoint-
ment of Al Malena as Chief Justice of the
SA Supreme Court. Malena is Lamb’s
suitemate.

After a through interview by the Inter-
nal Affairs committee, the appointment
was sent to Council.

“exemplary leadership skills.” It was also
stated that Malena was convincing in at-
tempting to prove his objectivity.

The vote in committee was none in
favor, none opposed, and five no-votes.
The reason given for this was that the com-
mittee was unclear on whether the term
served would be for one year or two. A
Supreme Court justice holds office for two
years and it was established that a Chief
Justice would simply serve out the re-
mainder of his-or her term.

When the nomination came to the
Council floor, Victor Civitillo, Wade
Klien, and Steven Goudsmith all spoke out
against the nomination. All three
acknowledged that Malena was ‘‘extreme-
ly qualified,”’ but all stated that to them
the fact that Malena and Lamb were
Suitemates was “‘too much too overcome.”

“Tt is a blatant form of nepotism,’
Civitillo said. Goudsmith said that he was
“‘disgusted by the appointmnet.’”

Peltz stated, “‘no one has doubts of his
qualifications.’’ He added, ‘‘The students
elected James because they felt he had the
best judgement, and now he’s used it. He
chose the person who he felt could do the
best job.””

After more debate, a vote was taken.
Malena was approved by a large margin.

Although Central Council has spent
hours debating a single bill at times,they
maintained decorum in’ a meeting that
lasted until 3:00'am on Alumni Quad.

With a busy calendar ahead Council will
have to concentrate its efforts to maintain
this decorum.

Iselin ponders involvement

By Alyse Krieger
STAFF WRITER

Student issues is Alan V.
Iselin’s priority as Chair of the
University Council, and as a pro-
minent member of the capital
district area community and
senior advisor for Cowen Asset
Management.

As an outspoken person in the
community, Iselin started his
SUNYA involvement by being

both a member and the first non-
administrative president of the
University Foundation Board.
The board is a bridge between the
University and the community.

Nine years ago, Iselin was ap-
pointed by Governor Hugh Carey
to the Universi-
ty Council, of :
which he is Friday
presently the fl
chair. The Profile
University
Council is the ‘‘legally constituted
body by the New York State
Legislature that has direct legal
responsibility for student life,”
Iselin said. Among these respon-
sibilities are safety regulation,
student health, and approvals for
fees such as bus fares. It also
serves as an advisory board to
President Vincent O’Leary, since
the members have “‘objective in-
sight into the issues because the
members are selected from the
outside community and therefore
have no biases,’’ Iselin stated.
“We are looking out for the best
interests of the faculty, students
and administration.””

According to Iselin, part of the
University Council’s job is to
“maintain good neighbor rela-

tions between the University and 'drama departments and in the

the community...the question is,
what influence can we have to
modify the problems, and will
students resent a loco parentis,”’
Iselin said. He went on to say that
there was a fine line between be-
ing involved in assisting students
and over-managing them.

“University Council’s dilemma
is to be involved or not to be in-
volved, and to what extent. We
have been somewhat distant to
the part of student life that is not
included in the handbook,” Iselin
said.

In an on-campus aspect,
University Council is a cultural
resource because it provides fun-
ding for activities in the art and

Writer’s Institute. The Council
lobbies in the legislature for stu-
dent rights and issues that effect
students such as the recent budget
crisis.

Iselin’s major concern is the
movement of student life to the
off-campus community. He feels
part of the reason this is occurring
is related to the increase in stu-
dent drinking and the increased
accessibility to drinking in the
off-campus environment.

Iselin said that with the increas-
ing flow of on-campus students to
off-campus events such as greek
parties and bars, the University
Council has a limited influence on

such a critical time,’’ Lamb
stated,

But some student leaders feel
that placing the referendum on
the ballot will allow the students
to make their own decisions on
whether to raise the fee.

“I believe in giving the oppor-
tunity to the students,” said
Shawn Thompson, Central Coun-
cil chair, adding that no SA presi-
dent should take that right away.

Lawson stressed that the $7 is
needed in a budget that is close to
$1 million. ‘‘It would go towards

funding and extra money for
groups, and we will be able to
meet their needs more.’’

“The $7 increase is saying we’ll
be able to give you more -- but the
students have the right to decide
what they want,” Thompson
said.

With next year’s budget pro-
posal anticipating 9600 students,
there would be an increased
revenue of $36,000 more, as the
estimate is more than 350 students
more than last year’s budget.

“That should be more than
enough to hold over until the fall
when students can decide to raise

the fee,’’ Lamb stated, implying
that students can reassess their
financial status after the various
increases.

Thompson acknowledged last
night that he would call an
emergency meeting of Central
Council before next week’s elec-
tions so council could be allowed
the opportunity to override
Lamb’s veto.

“With a vote of unanimous, it
would be crazy not to give them
that chance,”’ Thompson said. 0

Challenging the
Clique Myth

When Central Council voted Wednesday
night to approve Al Malena as SA Supreme
Court Chief Justice, they sent a well-timed
message to the student body they
represent:SA can work together to achieve
successful results.

Near the close of a year that has seen SA
marred with internal conflicts (most
noticably a rift between the executive and
legislative branch), the Malena
appointment proved that Council can work
with the executive branch. SA President
James Lamb’s appointment could’ve been
viewed as controversial (Malena is Lamb’s
suitemate) yet Council saw the important
issue behind the controversy: Malena had
served as an associate justice and was
clearly qualified and competent enough for
the job. That was not an arbitrary decision
made by the council, either—a list of
answers to questions given by Malena
during an evaluation interview was
provided to council and onlookers. Almost
everyone testified to his qualifications.

With the Chief Justice vacancy filled, SA
can now operate at full capacity in time for
the spring elections and the end-of-the-year
budgeting and programming matters.

The question of patronage, or providing
jobs for friends and family, almost blocked
Malena’s appointment. There were a few
who cried ‘“‘cronyism’’, and they did have a
valid concern. On face value, Lamb’s
appointment would seem to go to. his
“‘suitemate’’, rather than to a ‘‘qualified
candidate.’’ (Malena’s qualifications were
never questioned.) The possibility of a
conflict arises, as friends could discuss and
influence opinions. However, that
possibility is not just limited to SA
members, as anyone could influence an
opinion. It’s not a matter of being a
president or chief justice, and the only
remedy is simple trust in the person.
Malena, as an associate justice, deservedly
received that trust.

The word ‘‘clique’”’ was tossed around a
lot at the meeting, and that proved to be the
most important issue involved in the
discussion. Was SA, by approving Al
Malena, upholding the status of an
unaccessible clique whose major
requirement for access is a friendship with
an involved person?

Fortunately, the answer is no. Council
was not limiting access to SA by approving
Malena—they were merely approving a
person they felt to be qualified; a person
who, in his previous job title, had related
job experience and was already involved
with the judicial branch of SA. He was
approved on the basis of his own
merits—and not on those of James Lamb.

Some said they wanted to avoid creating
a cliqueish image for SA. However, if you
deny a person the right to join based on
personal affiliation, you are, in essence,
creating a clique—one closed to friends of
those involved. If that person is qualified,
then too much has been lost under the guise
of obtaining a good public image. By
approving Malena, Council actually
shattered the clique myth.

Basically, SA shattered some
misconceptions about its membership with
the Malena decision. SA showed not only
that it is open to all students, but that they
can recognize’ qualifications and merits
despite personal problems. Let’s hope that
they can be as unified and as cooperative in
the next few weeks, which is usually the
busiest time for SA.

Where is Roe vs. Wade
Leading America?

This past January marked the 16th anniversary of the
legalization of abortion. There have been many debates
on this.topic. I, as a pro-lifer, believe Roe vs. Wade
should be overturned.

Simone Havasy

Those who believe abortion should remain legal are in
favor of what has become a common term: pro-choice. I
believe this choice is the choice to kill. Abortion is murder
-- the taking of a human life. These pro-choice advocates
want to defend women’s rights to control their own
bodies, but they are actually killing someone who tem-
porarily resides in the woman. Are the advocates aware
that most abortions are performed on female babies?
This certainly doesn’t protect women’s rights. One might
want to visit a school today and look at the ratio of boys
to girls. Children born in 1973 are now sophomores in
high school. It is very disturbing to see fewer and fewer
females in our schools. Many abortions are performed
because the child is not the right sex. It’s ironic that in try-
ing to protect women, we are actually hurting them more
by abortion.

The pro-choice advocates also want to prevent women
from using ‘‘coat hangers and chicken bones”’ to perform
abortions on themselves. I wonder if they are aware of
our ‘‘modern methods” of abortions. The Dilation and
Curettage abortion inserts a hooked instrument into the
womb and scrapes the wall of the uterus, cutting the
developing baby into many pieces. The Suction abortion
inserts a tube into the womb and sucks out the developing
baby into many pieces. These two types of abortion ac-
count for nearly 95 percent of all abortions. Nurses don’t
like these methods because they have to count the parts of
the baby to make sure everything was removed from the
womb. Another method, Salt Poisoning, injects a salt
solution into the uterus, which the child swallows and dies
slowly while the skin burns. About a day later, the mother
goes into labor and expels a dead, grotesque, shriveled
baby. Some babies have been known to survive this
method. They are then left to die, crying in the corner of
some abortion chamber. These modern methods are
hardly humane.

Pro-choice advocates want abortions to take place in a
morally responsible time-frame. When someone is
murdered, they are dead whether in the first trimester or
moments before delivery. Roe vs. Wade allows abortion
up until the moment of birth, even though it’s clear in the
scientific community that a person is being killed. Life
begins at the moment of conception, not after it’s born.
(Anyone who disputes this fact might consider taking
Biology 101.) The baby is alive in the womb, breathing

and being nurtured through the umbilical cord by the
mother. I’m not sure what the difference between two
minutes before delivery and two after delivery makes in
determining whether one is deemed a ‘‘person’’. There
have been cases where babies have been suffocated in the
womb, on the delivery table, and it was legal because it fit
into the “morally responsible time-frame”’ since the baby
had not yet been born. Abortion is horrible and far from
morally responsible.

A few short years ago, a European wanted to create @
“Super-race”’ by eliminating unwanted people. Starting
with the handicapped, mentally ill, undesirables, epilep-
tics, homosexuals, and later the Slavs, gypsies and Jews,
Hitler sent millions of people to their deaths in 4
Holocaust we memorialize each year, lest we forget.
These people were all unwanted in Adolf Hitler’s Aryan
race.

Roe vs. Wade has started us on this slippery cliff of
killing off our society. Since 1973, over 24 million
children, enough to populate 12 western states, have been
murdered due to abortion. Where is Roe vs. Wade
Jeading America? Are we really protecting women’s rights
or-are we trying to create our own super-race of
Americans and ridding ourselves of unwanted and in-
convenient life?

Many people believe that if an amniocentesis comes
back positive for an undesirable condition (i.e. Down’s
Syndrome, Tay Sach’s disease, malformations of the
head and spine), the parents should “terminate the
pregnancy.’ (Notice people don’t say,‘‘kill the child’’) I
ask, who are we to determine whether someone lives OF
dies? Also, amniocentesis is not guaranteed to be 100 per-
cent accurate. There have been cases here children were
born normal after being diagnosed by an amniocentesis
with undesirable conditions. I wonder how many children

have died because of an incorrect prognosis from a single
test.

Some say that these people with undesirable conditions
aren’t going to be productive citizens, so why should they
be born? Are all of us -- students at an accredited institu-
tion of higher learning -- going to be productive citizens?
I’m not sure. Instead of focusing our attention on how to
rid ourselves of these children, why not focus on helping
them? Many of these unwanted, special children have
grown up and made outstanding contributions to society:
Stevie Wonder, singer and songwriter; Bree Walker, CBS
Television Anchorwoman; Jim Abbott, the one-handed
Olympic baseball player, now on the California Angels
roster, to name a few. But, you say, how could a parent
be put through so much pain? Parents of “normal”
children have many heartaches that cause them a bat

Confessions of a

t was something I had always

] wanted to do, but somehow

managed — every year — to miss

Purple and Gold’s deadline. (1 always

thought it was unfair that they're the only.

ones who can give tours anyway.) Ever

since I had had that awful, pseudo-

informative tour of Albany State in the spr-

ing before my freshman year, I had con-
sidered giving tours of the university.

April S. Anastasi

A few weeks ago a girl I know, who
works for Campus Life, came hurrying into
the office, frantically trying to recruit tour
guides, At first, we all thought she was kid-
ding — ‘There are 700 people in the
Ballroom, and we need more tour guides,”
she’d said; “Seven hundred people — oh,
sure,” we'd thought. As it turned out, she
wasn't kidding.

Needless to say, a few friends and I
decided to take the touring plunge (and get
a free lunch in the bargain — hey, we're
college students... what can | say?). And
off to the Ballroom we went.

After being informed that each tour
group — normally consisting of about ten
people — would be a bit larger than usual
(30 people!), we new tour guide-types
began to get slightly (read as ‘horrifically’)
nervous.

“Make sure you show them rooms. The
kids always like to see them,” we were ad-
vised. Sounded simple enough. Until we
got to the quad. But I'm getting ahead of
myself.

It’s amazing how much general trivial
knowledge you pick up after four years on
campus. So, when I'd been assigned my
group and had them meet me at the small
fountain, I actually surprised myself with

| |

ik =

“And over here we have some more Albany concrete stairs...’

what I was able to expand upon in my in-
troductory remarks. | decided to warn
them right away that I was a novice and
ask them to be gentle and tolerant with
me. (They were, and it really wasn’t as ter-
rible as everyone tells you the first time
will be).

Sihestuant teakeays ywdnted ogivea
tour,” I informed them, “is because of the
tour guide I had when I first came here.”
Then I got a chance to do my unbelievably
ditzy-super-bar-hopping-zero-GPA tour
guide impression:

(Annoying giggle) “This is the library
(point at it and giggle again)... I'm a
junior and (giggle) I've never been in there
(iggle).”

Sure, it’s funny now, but she went on to
list ALL of the bars within about a 50 mile
radius and EVERY major fast food place in
Albany, Guilderland, and Colonie that

campus tour Guide

fe

delivers. Needless to say, my parents
weren't impressed (I almost wound up in a
convent and I’m not even Catholic).

Getting back to my tour group, as we
trudged over to Colonial Quad I threw out
bits of pseudo-informative but relatively
useless information (‘I don’t know exact
numbers, but there are thousands of pillars
and about a million more windows on cam-
pus”), all the while wondering if anyone I
knew would actually be home.

- Well, true to form, no one was. Luckily,
having lived on Colonial for three years, I
took a chance that there would be quasi-
friendly people in one of the lounges as
there almost always were, watching their
soaps or cartoons. Bingo! (Do I know dorm

> life, or do I know dorm life?)

Back on the podium at last (those crazy
parents had to examine everything in
every room), I threw out some fascinating

Jeffs $50 Spring Break

Dikerd

facts: Edward Durell Stone designed our
lovely, wind tunnel-like campus... for
ARIZONA! I think they must have gotten
the plans for it at a K-mart blue-light
special, then I convinced them that there
were better things to see than the ‘silly lit-
tle model of campus’ in the Administration
Building and that, as a theatre major, I
could give them an exclusive primo tour of
the Performing Arts Center. (No big deal,
you might think, but I'd already asked and
knew there were some prospective theatre
majors in the group). So off we went.

First to the LCs where we interrupted
the intense concentraton of some sleepers
in an LC 18 class and repeatedly experienc-
ed a phenomenon I termed ‘Tour Clash!’
Due to the tremendues number of groups
(who all happened to wind up in the LCs at
the same time), any time we ran into
another group (literally or figuratively), we
experienced ‘Tour Clash.’ Of course, all the
parents thought this was cute.

Heading toward the LC/PAC steps, we
raced another tour group to the steps and
made it outside before they even got
halfway up the stairs. Some of my families
were actually running — | think they liked
that competative college spirit:

I explained what the Student Activity
Fee was and where it went and how it sup-
ports sports, programming things like
MayFest and Guinness Day, and groups
from -ASUBA to Middle Earth. The kids
seemed worried about it being such a big
university, enrollment and_ therefore
people-wise.

“Involvement is key,” their sagacious
over-involved tour guide told them. “But,
when you're between classes and meetings
or games, or whatever else you're doing,
the thing to do is Podiate.”

“What?I2I” They were,
clueless.

I explained it all: the fun and sun, the
guys and dolls, the frisbees and hackey-
sacks, the fountain and the concrete.

And, wouldn’t you know, by the time
we were through I heard a few of them
asking their parents if they could hang out
in Albany a little longer and podiate before
they went home. Oo

You set your mind on a career prospect, plan your resume, prepare
your resume, send out your resume, then set up an interview — and
hopefully find yourself employed. It should only be so simple.

As I'm not planning to graduate for another year, suffice it to say
that my quest is for summer employment. Procuring an internship in my
field this summer, I've been advised, is what I should do. So a few mon-
ths ago I began the process. First: the resume. After I struggled to find
something to put on it (“I won an essay contest in second grade” just
didn’t seem impressive, or professional, enough), I typeset it, and then
made some fifty copies of it to send out to prospective employees. A
friend then noticed a slight typo. Seems I spelled the word “editing” in-
correctly. So as part of my job description, I “ediited” stories. That would
have pretty funny to explain to someone in a position of power holding
my resume. “Editing? Oh,-that’s a new technique we use. It’s a new,
special kind of editing. Sure.” Or: “Oh, hey, hey, I just wanted to make
sure you'd pick up on a small mistake. Ha ha. Just checking up on ya.”
Sure.

So I tore up the wasted resumes, and fixed the blunder before it reach-
ed the hands of anyone in a position to hire me. Resume number two
was completed, and it was flawless at that (weeks after it was sent out,
though, my home phone number was changed). Next came the question
of just where I would send these wonderful resumes. I called around and
found that: 1. No one could pay me, and 2. I’d be a “slave” at just about
anywhere I considered working. Okay, I resigned myself to the fact that
I'd work for free (I'm certainly not in this field for the money), but it
would be nice to find some sort of stimulating, intelligent work. The first
place I called was very polite about the plan. “Well, it’s mostly clerical
and research-oriented. You do, however, get to work closely with those
you work with” (translated: “Write? You want to write? Don't be silly.
You'll answer phones, file papers, and fetch coffee for your boss.”) The
next was much more honest: “No, you won't be able to write. It’s all
clerical.”

Another fine magazine seemed to hold great promise for me, and I was
instructed to send along a resume. But when I followed through with a
phone call, I was told that my resume was missing. “I'm sorry,” I was
told. “I seem to have lost it. Could you send another?” Yeah, well it was
tough enough getting that one out.

Yet another place seemed rather surprised at my inquiry. “Oh,” the
cheerful editor said. “We don’t have any interns, but we just moved into
new offices and I guess you’d even have a desk to work at.” Right.

Another editor expressed interest in the idea of creating an internship
program (they had desks already, but he said that he’d have to speak to
someone in charge of allocating funds for such a program (wow — I
might even get paid!). “Send a resume and call me back,” he said. But
when I did, he informed me that he was leaving his job. His replacement

“has yet to be found, and the idea did, I'm sure, left with him.

For the place I most wanted to work, I missed the deadline (oops), and
for the only place that had promised to pay me, I was not quite what
they were looking for. The two most promising opportunities that re-
mained reached “the interview stage” this past Spring Break (I didn’t go
anywhere exotic — just to NY for a few interviews). Mom told me that
even in these late eighties, a lot of people remain conservative, so that I
should dress so, and wear a skirt. Of course I didn’t.

All went well, and on my way out my interviewer even complimented
me on my pair of pants (not a bad judgement call, I say). Only problem
was that I was told in the most concealing way that I'd be a “go-for” (go
for the stuff in the library, go for the errand, go for the xerox machine)
while still managing to make the job sound appealing. I shook my
hopeful employer's hand, left and on the street realized that I'd been
taken for a sucker.

Interview number two might have been easier had my interviewer
remembered that she was scheduled to meet with me. Of course it might
have been worse — she could have left for the day or like my experience
in the not-so-distant past, she could have re-located — but then it did
grow worse. She couldn’t find my resume among the hundreds upon her
desk and after five minutes of looking in a futile effort to find it, she
gave up and said, “So, tell me what you've done, what you do.”

But even before I could begin to respond, she said, “Don’t be nervous.
Iam.” This it seems was her first exercise of power in her new position.
Well that was certainly reassuring...

Aspects 3a

The Replacements at the Palace: achin’ to be

et’s play the word association
game. Rock? Roll. Minneapolis
rock'n'roll? The Replacements. The
Replacements? Drunk.
Well, it is their image.

Stef McDonald

Bassist Tommy Stinson made a point to
assure me in a telephone chat just prior to
the release of the Replacements’ latest,
Don’t Tell A Soul, that although on vinyl it
may appear that the band has “grown up,”
and despite the slowed down, honed sound
on the record, some things aren't apt to
charge:

“The live show can only be the same,”
he promised.

Right.

So following the Replacements’ St.
Patrick’s Day engagement at the Palace
Theatre, Stinson was commended for hav-
ing lived up to the promise. “Yeah,” he
laughed. “We messed up.”

Well, not really. Sure the Mats were
sloppy, messy, loud, and maybe a little
drunk. But none of them fell off the stage,
nor did any of them trip over any of their
instruments. In their hour and a half long
set, they played over twenty songs, both
old and new, lead singer/rhythm guitarist
Paul Westerberg remembered (most of) his
lyrics, and almost every song begun was
completed (“We'll Inherit the Earth” from
Soul being the notable exception). Not
bad.

With “Color Me Impressed” from
Hootenanny leading off the set, and a dou-
ble whammy from Pleased to Meet Me,
with “1.0.U.” and “I Don’t Know’ follow-
ing, Stinson seemed a pretty reliable
source. This wasn’t a diluted or insipid
performance.

And the gut-ripping scream that opened
the new “Anywhere is Better Than Here,”
first of the new songs to be performed in
their set offered proof, if any, that Stinson
was right. Certainly the roaring defiance of
“| Won't" wasn't something for even skep-
tics to scoff at. No, this wasn’t a totally
reformed Replacements; there wasn’t
anything washed-out or washed-up about
this, even if it did seem rather straight-
forward.

Acoustic elements from past efforts and
particularly Don’t Tell A Soul ignored, lest
replaced with electric charges, even the
subdued almost-ballad “Darling One” from
Soul was played in the good ol’ fashioned
vein; it was treated with the guitars

The Replacements: (1. to r.) Chris Mars, Paul Westerberg, Slim Dunlap, and Tommy Stinson

(Westerberg and Slim Dunlap) in a cons-
tant churning clash, while Soul's more
tender ballad “Rock'n'Roll Ghost” found
no place (“I wouldn't want to weep on
stage or anything,” Westerberg later
explained).

Of course, it might be said that
Westerberg, as lyricist and voice of the
Mats, is the soul of the band. Situated mid-
way through their set was a sort of “bear-
ing” of that soul, with the new “Achin’ To
Be,’’ which exemplified the
Westerberg/Replacements schtick fairly
well (dare it be said that it’s
autobiographical?). He coughed, “Well
she’s kinda like a poet,” in his notoriously
gruff voice; he hollared “I been achin’ ”
with all the musing hoarseness needed; and
finally he trailed off with the songs’ con-
ceit, “she’s achin’ to be — just like me.”

Aching to be something — it's the
essence of Westerberg’s niche. “The
Ledge” found him as lost, desperate and ex-
asperated as ever, then after a run through
the current “hit” from Soul, “I'll Be You,”
he dedicated the love-sick “Answering

Machine” to himself. The aforemen-
tioned “Inherit the Earth” didn’t quite make
it to the “don’t tell a soul” whisper, as mid-
way through the song Westerberg motion-

Whiplash at RPI: .
Justice from Metallica

‘ow. It just four years ago that San

W Freie head-crushers Metallica

were playing the Skyway over in

Scotia. Now it’s a packed arena with a huge

stage show, which made a stop at the RPI

fieldhouse on March 15th. But not much

has changed — still the same shaggy freaks

bludgeoning away with some of the most

relentless music to leave the clubs and hit
the arena circuit.

John Moore

After a fine opening set by Queen-
sryche, the Metalli-freaks hit the stage with
a crunching rendition of “Blackened” (from
the ... And Justice For . \ll LP), followed
by a huge-sounding “Fo: Whom The Bell
Tolls.” And by this time ihe two most an-
Noying aspects of the slow were apparent
— the security guards who began violently
removing fans from the floor for no ap-
parent reason, and the heat in the
Fieldhouse — bad enough for those in the
seats but even more horrid for the rest of
those headbanging and bellowing along
with the lyrics on the floor.

It didn’t take away from the set, though.
They played some new stuff (“Harvester of

Sorrow,” “Eye Of The Beholder” and the
‘hit single’ “One”), some kinda old stuff
(‘Master Of Puppets” and “Sanitarium,” to
mention just a couple), and some real old
chestnuts, like the ‘grab your neighbor by

the hair and roar along’ frenzy of “Seek .

and Destroy.”
Throughout the whole deal the “Lady

Justice” statue was assembling in the
background, only to be torn to pieces dur-
ing set-closer “.. . And Justice For All” —
nice to see the boys put their bucks into a
stage show that's a bit different.

‘Ah, but the encores were even better.
Not only some cool Metalli-classics
(‘Creeping Death,” “Fade To Black,” and
“Battery”), but a lot of random jamming
from James, Lars, Kirk and Jason — parts of
Zeppelin’s “How Many More Times,” Pur-
ple’s “Black Night,” Hendrix's “Little Feat”
and, believe it or not, “La Bamba.”

That's without even mentioning the full-
fledged covers that added to their set: the
Misfits’ “Last Caress,” Diamond Head's
“Am | Evil?” and “Helpless” (well, almost).
The night ended with the most. neck-
snapping Metalli-tune, “Whiplash,” letting
the dandruff and sweat fly one last time,
both onstage anddownthe front... O

ed to drummer Chris Mars to “cut” it
before it was lost completely. From slop-
piness to plain fun, there came the light
guitar-chugging parody, “Waitress in the
Sky,” and onto the roaring romatic front
was a rip through “Valentine.” The set end-
ed with “Alex Chilton,” and the encore
was highlighted with a run through
“Bastards of Young” from Tim.

Not so young anymore, and quite
possibly on the verge of commercial pop
success, maybe a lot has changed. But —
hey, the live show can only be the same,
and after the very last number — after a
set that disproved that this band has grown
tame and lame — Westerberg bent over

his mike stand and said, “We're too damn
rich to play any longer.”

“We have sold out,” Westerberg corrects
when offered support of the notion that
they haven't. Then Stinson echoes
Westerberg’s insight. “We've sold out,” he
says deadpan. “We're filthy rich.”

“Inherit the Earth,” gets a mention after
the show and Stinson darts an accusatory
glance at Westerberg, which sparks a
playful debate.

“You messed up —” “No — you did —”
Something about a D sharp, then some
laughter, and the discussion closes at that.

Ramonesmania —
Gabba gabba hey it’s insane

TEW FROM THE PIT:

underground pulp junkies and outback
crazies bashing into each other, a cir-

security people looked on fearfully, and

management put calls into local ambulance
companies, suicide hotlines, and the Na-
tional Guard.

On the drive up, Jef Deth and I schemed
on how we'd use his relation with the
Ramones to get us backstage, where we'd
ask Joey questions on Nietscze and maybe
slip a little something into Dee Dee's drink.

Jef Deth, bastard child of the Ramones
geneology, introduced Love Zombies to
the half drunk crowd, many of whom
thought he was Joey. “I want to introduce
who I think is the best band in New York
State,” he yelled, wearing Joey sunglasses
and his Joey hair hanging over his Joey
face.

BACKSTAGE BALLYHOO:

Later, while Jef cruised the floor basking
in the Joey glory, | managed to slip past the
stoned-out stage goons and got a few
minutes with the band. “New Album, May

4a Aspects

March 31,1989

No surprises or scares

from Leviathan

very familiar plot with very
Aa characters that ends up
borrowing many of its ideas and
“scenes from both Alien movies and John
Carpenters’ remake of The Thing.
Leviathan, an adventure film about a group
of deep sea miners trapped two miles
below the ocean by a genetically mutated
organism falls short of originality.

Clarence Eckerson

Opening near the end of a 90-day mis-
sion by eight men and women that have
been mining various ores from the ocean
floor, Leviathan centers around a group led
by Peter Weller (Robocop). He plays a
geologist who has a great deal of trouble
eaming respect from his crew, and is also
under pressure from insensitive company
heads for falling behind his quota of
minerals. Amanda Pays is a miner who
realizes the pressure that Weller is under,
and offers him words of encouragement.
(The two however, have no romantic ties.)
Richard Crenna’‘s doctor-scientist is very
unlikeable and mysterious.

Leviathan’s first half-hour is spent in the
absence of the creature and is the best part
of the movie, focusing on the characters’
relationships: how they live in the enclosed
environment, and the dangers associated
with their jobs. One good example of this
is in the opening moments, during which
one miner suffers oxygen depletion and
the crew races against time to save his life.
Another sequence, which occurs repeated-
ly, is the periodic swaying and creeking of
the station by the ocean currents making
the residents wonder just how safe their
living space is. These moments of the film

are actually more terrifying than any of the
monster sequences that follow.

But soon after this “getting acquainted”
period, the final mining expedition
discovers a sunken Russian ship named
Leviathan. After exploring the hull, one of
the crew smuggles aboard a bottle of Rus-
sian liquor which, unknowingly to him,
contains a genetic altering drug. He drinks
the flask with another miner and soon after
they both die and are placed in the
morgue. From there the two corpses
manage to come alive, merge into one, and
begin to metamorphisize into different
creatures to terrorize the remaining crew
members.

Here the movie goes sour and turns
predictable. The doctor traps the crew with
the monster for the good of “mankind” by
destroying their only transportation to the
surface. The action moves far too quickly,
relying on cliches and scenes that have
been seen before in other science-fiction
flicks, all leading up to a predictable final
sequence.

To their credit, director George
Cosmatos and the crew do a good job in
creating a believable underwater world.
However, what they fail to do is give the
audience anything new on the screen and
do an unimpressive job of creating a
creature that even looks scary. In the end,
Leviathan, ends up as a disappointment;
unless you're into seeing a very non-
threatening remake of Alien, underwater.

Dr. Dirty Speaks

To the Editor:

Islamic fundamentalist narrow minded views
Pro-life activists kneeling in their pews

My way’s the only way your way is wrong
God has only one voice and he’s singing my song

Below the mighty ocean so many fish swim
As The book of truth unfolds even wise men barely skim

Bury your head in causes you spoiled little brat
Do you still feel the anger when someone calls you that

Bury your head in scripture you once well meaning fool
No way a real God ever instructed a man to be so cruel

And here’s a friendly toast I propose to you
‘May freedom of speech always mean me too
me too

This is my response to the protestors who shut down
my concert.

Against Kahane

To the Editor:

Lorne Newman, secretary of the Revisionist Zionist
Alternative, must have been transfixed by Kahane’s
demagoguery when he wrote the letter, “More on
Posting’’. He wrote, “Instead of protesting what Rabbi
Kahane says, they chose not to let him be heard.’’ There
were over 75 people protesting in front of Page Hall to

Kahane’s appearance. The protest reflected a broad seg-
ment of student and community organizations. It was an
excellent example of unity -- exposing and isolating in-
dividuals who preach racism, hatred, and death.

I believe Mr. Newman should be more concerned with
the nature and policies of Kahane than with any poster in-
fringement. Rabbi Meir Kahane, leader of the Kach Party
in Israel, advocates the deportation of 700,000 Palesti-
nians from Israel (17 percent of Israel’s population) and
1.5 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and West
Bank. Article 6 of the Charter of the Internationmal
Military Tribunal at Nuremberg defined deportation as a
“‘war crime”’ and as a ‘‘crime against humanity.” Depor-
tation violates the United Nations Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, the IVth Geneva Convention for the
Protection of Civilians in Times of War, and customary
international law. In principle, Rabbi Meir Kahane ad-
vocates genocide of the Palestinian people.

Tam not aware if Mr. Newman supports the policies of
Kahane. However, if Mr. Newman is opposed to
Kahane’s notorious policies, resignation from the RZA
would have been an appropriate response.

Snubbed By the ASP

To the Editor:

Recently my fraternity, along with Alpha Phi sorority,
took about 50 kids from the Boys Club of Albany on a
rollerskating trip in Clifton Park. When we asked the
ASP if we could submit an article to be printed, the reply
was, “No, there has to be a staff writer there.” We then
asked if it would be possible to have a staff writer at the
event, to which the reply was, ‘‘No, it isn’t newsworthy.
Greeks do community service events all the time, nobody
wants to read about that. They only want to read about
the negative side of Greek life.””

Greeks make up almost 20 percent of the entire student
body, yet for the most part we are not newsworthy. I
don’t see 20 percent of the student body involved with
NYPIRG or Central Council, but every issue of the ASP
contains pages full of NYPIRG and Council news. Im-
portant news such as, ‘‘Central Council member ‘X’ was
unable to attend because of illness’. Now that’s news!

I know as a greek I like to hear about what other greeks
are up to, good or bad. Luckily there’s a greek newsletter
coming out, so now we can find out what’s really going
on besides the negative stories that the media loves to
dwell on.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank
the sisters and pledges of Alpha Phi for helping us with
this worthwhile event. A special thanks to UAS for their
generous donation which made the afternoon possible.
Luckily they are not as narrow-minded as some editors
seem to be.

Hike Defended

To the Editor:

As two U.A.S. Student Board of Directors who voted
in favor of the 2 percent increase for board rates, we
would like to respond to the March 14th article in the
ASP regarding the vote.

Our reason for voting for the increase is not that we

<
deal of pain. A difficult fact we must all face is, life is
tough. We need to stop looking for the easy way out.

This issue of abortion is not a Catholic issue, it’s not a
Jewish issue, it’s an issue of life. Our country was found-
ed on ideals that protected everyone’s life -- even the un-
born. The Democratic party has long been the party for
the down-trodden. Why has it chosen to ignore these un-
born down-trodden victims? In recent presidential elec-
tions the abortion issue has been a major topic. Until the
Democrats change their party platform to support all
down-trodden life, it will find itself continuing to go
against the flow of public opinion.

Rape and incest are the hard issues of abortion.
However, they account for less than one percent of all
abortions. Leonardo da Vinci was the son of a rape vic-
tim. Think of all the artistic and scientific contributuions
we might have missed out on if his mother opted for an
abortion. Why don’t we help the women of these hideous
acts through counseling and support rather than com-
pounding their problems with abortions and hurting
other innocent victims -- the babies?

Abortion is being used as a means to solve teen
pregnancies and the poor’s financial problems. These are
serious issues that need to be tackled, but we must not try
to solve the problems by killing the defenseless unborn. If
a person wants to be sexually active, whether married or
not, they have to be responsible and realize that a direct
result of intercourse is possible pregnancy. Using abor-

feel U.A.S. is doing an outstanding job providing food to
the students -- a 2 percent increase can do very little to im-
prove the food. We supported the hike on the basic fact
that just like any other business, U.A.S has costs to cover
and also has to deal with the rising national inflation rate.
We felt that a 2 percent increase to cover this was not
unjustified.

We were very aware about the rising costs and budget
cuts that are facing the University and its students, but
U.A.S should not be responsible for covering for these
unfortunate circumstances, mainly because they are in-
dependent of the state and university in terms of funding.

U.A.S takes a lot of abuse on the campus, some which
we feel is justified, but the university community
sometimes fails to realize that U.A.S also helps the
university. For example, U.A.S provides about $150,000
per year in programming funds which help fund activities
on campus such as Mayfest and Torchnight. If these
board rate hikes didn’t pass, these funds would surely be
in jeopardy.

Finally, the proposed U.A.S building is only going to
help the campus. A university as prestigious as SUNYA
could use a larger bookstore and more eating facilities for
all 20,000 people on campus. We don’t see the state mak-
ing these needed additions. For all these reasons, a 2 per-
cent increase is small for the services U.A.S is providing
for us.

Closing Thoughts

To the Editor:

As my college days dwindle down, I thought it was time
to write the ASP some closing thoughts. I have been a
devoted reader for as long as I have been on campus, but
this is my first letter to the editor. Here are a few of the
proposals I hope to see implemented on our campus:
~implementation of the ‘4x4’ system similar to that of
Prestigious institutions such as Bucknell, Binghamton
and most of the Ivy league schools.

--the idea of having the library open past 11p.m. seems
improbable considering’ the upcoming budget cuts, but
having one of the lecture centers open for late-night study
isn’t asking too much.
--if one hour has to be cut each weekday from the regular
library hours, as reported in the ASP, it should open one
hour later, at 9 a.m., rather than close one hour earlier, at
10 p.m.
~-freshmen should not be allowed to register automobiles
on this campus. This isn’t an infringment on students’
rights, but rather common practice at many large
universities.
--to UPD, tow the idiots until they learn where to park
~-the athletic fee should be mandatory and seperate from
the current student activity fee. This fee should be
regulated according to NCAA regulations. We shouldn’t
contradict the NCAA and every major college.
~-and last but not least, develop a five-year plan to elevate
men’s basketball to the Division I ranks. I can think of
nothing sweeter than seeing Doc Sauers and his boys leav-
ing the Knickerbocker Arena floor after defeating Mr.
Arrogance, Mike Deane, and his Siena Saints!
Thanks for the memories!!!

—John Joseph Bell

Class of ‘89

tion as a method of birth control doesn’t teach respon-
sibility. Unfortunately, Americans have come to be a
throw-away society, We are throwing away our children
because we won’t take responsibility for our actions. If a
woman can’t support the child, then help should be pro-
vided and encouraged. There are long waiting lists of peo-
ple who can’t have children but want to adopt or provide
foster care.

Recently, a comotose woman in Washington state gave
birth to her child and has since emerged from the coma.
Doctors don’t understand what happened. Some
speculate the mother instinctively knew her child was safe
and she could then focus her energy on recovering from
the coma. In New York City, an abortion was performed
on another woman -- also in a coma -- as a result of her
family’s wishes. I wonder, if this woman comes out of her
coma, what will she say when she finds out her child has
been killed? A

This topic is so vital to the future of America and to the
world that I suggest we all become informed about the
realities of abortion. The National Right to life News,
local Life Centers and Birthright groups can provide
thought-provoking information. Get the facts before it’s
too late. We are well past Germany on our own American
Holocaust, having killed over twice as many people as
Hitler. It’s time to overturn Roe vs. Wade and put a stop
to the killing!

At Michigan State, Jeffery

The caller, Robinson said, made
racial slurs and said the Ku Klux

racism if minorities ‘‘con-

“The paper is heightening the
racial climate on campus,’’ -
Robinson charged.

At Penn, a black female stu-

Abortion sentiments - pro and con

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Pro-
mpted by the U.S. Supreme
Court’s decision to rule in a case
that could make abortions illegal,
rallies for and against abortion
have broken out on a number of
campuses in recent weeks, and
both sides say they will step up ef-
forts to recruit more students to
walk their picket lines.

Students at Stephens College in
Missouri, Iowa State, Yale and
Western Michigan universities
and the universities of Houston,
Washington, Texas and Illinois,
to name a few, have rallied for
and against abortion in recent
weeks with an intensity unusual
even for this issue.

Organizers predict more cam-
pus efforts will come as the term

rolls on, and the Supreme Court’s
decision — due this spring —
approaches.

In early January, the court
agreed to rule on a Missouri law
that limits abortions in that state.

If the court rules the law is con-
stitutional, it would effectively
alter or even overturn its land-
mark 1973 Roe vs. Wade deci-
sion, which stopped states from
passing laws restricting women
from obtaining abortions.

“We've grown up with this
right to abortions,’ Stephens
College sophomore and pro-
choice activist Jane Drummond
said. ‘We’ve never really thought
of it as something we’d need to
fight for. Now it may be taken
away from us.””

Hoping to drive that lesson
home and portray just how pro-
foundly an anti-Roe decision
would affect college women, pro-
choice advocates are fanning out
to speak at college campuses
whenever they can.

The National Abortion Rights
Action League (NARAL), a na-
tionwide pro-choice group, and
the National Organization for
Women (NOW), have long
“igonored campuses,’ admits
NARAL’s campus coordinator
Marcy Wilder, who now says,
“It’s time to focus on them
again.”

NARAL and NOW already
have pro-choice groups on about
55 campuses, Wilder said, and
hope to mobilize students at 400

schools in upcoming weeks. Then
they will try to draw “‘hundreds
of thousands’ of supporters to
Washington, D.C., in April to
support abortion, she said, to
counter the large pro-life actions
held in January.

“‘What needs to happen is that
the pro-choice movement needs
to become more visible,’’ Wilder
said. ‘‘The anti-abortionists have
been very visible. We need to do
the same.”

“College women are the perfect
activists for this issue,” said Ron-
ni Rothman of the American
Association of University
Women. ‘‘They’re a relatively un-
touched hotbed for this issue, and
many pro-choice activists are
already tapping into that
grassroots energy.’’

campuses

Since the Supreme Court bases
its decisions on the Constitution,
common law, case law and
previous rulings, it’s much less
susceptible to public opinion than
Congress or the president. ‘‘Un-
fortunately, you can’t picket the
Supreme Court,’’ said Rothman.

Yet, Wilder says, ‘If we can
convince the court there will be a
lot of confusion in American
society if they overturn Roe vs.

Wade, they may act less
drastically.”
Pro-life activists, too, are

recruiting students to pressure the
court — and sway public opinion
— to limit or criminalize

abortion.

Abortion

18

Our Lady of the Lake
univeristies, Del Mar College and
the universities of Texas and
Dallas have formed a statewide
network, Texas Collegians for
Life, to press their case.

“We think there should be
alternatives to abortion,” said
Joe Pojman, a University of
Texas grad student who is the
group’s president. ‘“No woman
should need to have an abortion
because there are no
alternatives.”’

The Missouri law which has led
to the renewed abortion con-
troversy states that human life
begins at conception, bans public
facilities from performing abor-
tions, and requires pregnant
women to undergo tests to deter-
mine ‘‘fetus viability” before be-
ing allowed to get a private
abortion.

Legal scholars say the court
could declare the law unconstitu-
tional, thus leaving women’s
rights to undergo the procedure
unchanged.

It could also declare the
Missouri law constitutional but
leave Roe vs. Wade intact. The
court could also overturn Roe.

If the status quo is changed, ac-
tivists on both sides of the issue
say, life for collegians could
change dramatically.

“We're not really sure what
this all means yet,’’ said
Rothman. “The court could chip
away at Roe vs. Wade, giving the
states more leeway in regulating
abortion. The worst case will be
that while the rich will always be
able to find abortions, the poor
won’t. Students will be hard hit
since most don’t have a lot of
money.

“A lot of it just depends on
where you go to school,’’
Rothman continued, explaining
that if Roe is overturned each
state will determine its own abor-
tion statutes.

Wilder reports that five states
— Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana,
South Dakota and Kentucky —
already have laws to make abor-
tion a crime if Roe vs. Wade is

overturned.

Abortion

Dozens of others, including
Connecticut, New Hampshire,
California, Georgia, New Mexico
and Wisconsin, have laws that
will greatly restrict access to abor-
tions is Roe is overturned.

Abortions, consequently, could
become much more expensive and
difficult to obtain.

Pro-life advocates say such a
turn could have a profound effect
on collegians’ behavior.

“Regardless of the legalities,
abortion is still seen as a need.
That’s the problem,”’ said Pamela
Wilson, president of the Universi-
ty of Houston’s Students for Life

Among the revenues being ex-

“‘We will shortly be releasing

to $360 million over the last four
years. oO

Men’s tennis team ready for spring campaign

ax

FILE UPS

The Great Dane men’s tennis team looks to return to action next week.

By Gil Kaminer
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Albany men’s tennis team is looking
to improve this spring on a fall season that
saw its record at 5-6.

“We have the nucleus back from the
fall,’’ said head coach Bob Lewis.

They have five of their top seven players
back from fall for the spring.

Dan Braherler, who played number
three singles in the fall, has won two
challenge matches and will open the season
as the number one singles player.

Co-Captain Adam Cohen who played
number one in the fall will be at number
two this season. Having an experienced
play at the two position should add depth
and give the team victories from the
position.

Junior David Cencewicz will be playing
number three after competing at two dur-
ing the fall campaign. The same that holds

dividuals could qualify for the Nationals.

In the relays, the Danes are also ex-
tremely strong. In the three relay races, the
4x400 meters, the 4x800 meters and the
4x100 meters, Albany has quality teams.
Indoors, the Danes 4x400 meter team had
the best time (3:23.26) in State Division III
Competition.

In addition, the sprint medley team has
the best time (3:33.4) in the nation of Divi-
sion III schools.

Vives said that ‘‘. . . barring any serious
injuries, each relay squad should be able to
Place in state competition.”

The team as.a whole is very young, with
only two seniors and sixty percent of the

team comprised of freshmen and
sophomores.

Last outdoor season, the Danes were 6-1
in dual meets and hope to do better this
year.

Vives is ‘‘. . . looking forward to the
season”’ and said, ‘‘The guys are fresh and
excited.’’ Vives gave the team extra time
off, and hopes this will contribute to its
success.

They are obviously anxious and Gaynor
is excited and looking forward to a fruitful
season. He also adds that with a lack of in-
juries and improvement, the team will do
well.

Overall, the Danes have a good team

with many quality runners. The lack of ex- +

perience will hurt at firs. The first meet of
the spring season is Monday, April 4, at
home versus RPI at 4:00 p.m. {|

(AP) The Final Four coaches, aware of
heir own precarious job security, were
critical Wednesday of athletic directors
who succumb to pressure and fire
coaches before there is a chance to
succeed.

“An awful lot of coaches just as good
or a lot better than our staff have not
been given the opportunity that we’be
had,” said Seton Hall’s P.J. Carlesimo,
whose resignation was demanded by the
student senate and newspaper last year,
just 14 months before he guided his team
to college basketball’s pinnacle.

“What’s happening in college athletics
is wrong. It’s very alarming and it’s hap-

road to successful seasons

true for Cohen applies to Cencewicz.

David Mohl, the other co-captain, will
be playing at the four position.

Freshman David Lee and transfer Marc
Guss will play the five and six spots.

There are three doubles teams. The
number one doubles will be Lencewicz and
Brahler, two will be Cohen and Mohl, and
three is McGoey and Lee.

The team consists of ten men and has no
seniors. “We have experience and some
promising players,’’ said Lewis.

“We have a very formidable schedule,””
Lewis added, a season that includes
Binghamton, who defeated Albany in the
fall, and Cornell who the Danes have never
beaten.

“We have our work cut out for us,”’ ad-
ded Lewis.

Albany opens the season today at home
against Hobart at 3:00 p.m. =)

pening because you have athletic direc-
tors who are unwilling to stand up to
alumni and boosters. At Seton Hall, we
were lucky enough to have people who
were strong enough to take some
criticism.”

Carlesimo’s comments, made in a na-
tionwide telephone conference call that
included Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, Il-
linois’ Lou Henson and Michigan’s Steve
Fisher,

Carlesimo and Krzyzewski were more
general, talking about the hazards of a
profession in which more than a dozen
Division I coaches have been fired since
the regular season ended three weeks ago.

Great Dane swimmers impressive at Nationals
Three men’s relay teams and Braun become honorable All-Americans

By Jerry L. Kahn
STAFF WRITER

The University at Albany’s swimming
teams were impressive in the National
Championships, which were held earlier in
the month.

The men finished 28th out of 67 schools.
SUNYA was represented by starting
seniors Peter McElerney, Ed Burton, Mike
Jackson, and alternate Rick. Van Brunt.
Freshman Frank Skibo was also a starter.
This was the best that any Dane team has
ever done under coach David Turnage.

The women were represented by
sophomore diver Brenda Braun, who
singlehandedly led the team to a 44th place
finish overall.

Three of the men’s relays made
honorable mention All-American;
McElerney, Burton, Jackson, and Skibo
were the swimmers in all of them.

They finished tenth in the 200 freestyle
relay with a time of 1:27.54 and they came
in 13th in the 400 medley relay. Their time
was 3:35.61. In the 400 freestyle relay, they
were the 13th place team and had a time of
3:11.45.

Dane men’s

By Michael Director

The men’s track team completed a suc-
cessful indoor season, finishing 8-0-1. The
Danes had six N.Y. State Champions and
one Collegiate Track Conference in-
dividual Champion. Under the leadership
of Coach Roberto Vives, the team hopes to
continue its success in the upcoming spring
season.

The Danes are very strong and pose a
threat to any rival. In the 100 and 200

Coach Turnage said, “Overall, we did
very well. Only one team from our con-
ference finished higher than we did. That
was Alfred University.””

McElerney finished 16th in the 100 but-
terfly, which enabled him to become
honorable mention All-American. His
time was 0:52.17.

He finished in 18th place in the 100
freestyle with a mark of 0:47.2. The relay
team of McElerney, Burton, Jackson, and
Skibo finished 18th in the 200 medley relay
with a time of 1:39.00.

The other Albany swimmers finished as
follows: Burton was 41st in the 50 freestyle
with a time of 22:58; he was 30th in the 200
backstroke at 2:03.48; and was 26th in the
100 backstroke at 0:56.09. Jackson was
50th in the 200 individual medley (i.m.) in
2:02.47; he was 33rd in the 200 breastroke
at 2:14.41; and was 23rd in the 100
breaststroke at 1:00.59.

Turnage said “‘The team did an outstan-
ding job and we will greatly miss them (the
seniors) next year. It was also...nice to see
some of the parents...that were there.’’

For the women, Brenda Braun was the

only representative. She finished 12th in
the one meter diving and 11th in the three
meter divirg. Her scores were 344.95 and
362.20, respectively.

Braun earned honorable mention All-
American.

“Overall, I was happy with the per-
formance. I should have done better. I had
higher expectations and since I didn’t
achieve them...I wasn’t happy with the
outcome. But, this was the first time that I
ever got All-American honorable mention
(in the one meter diving), and I was ex-
tremely happy with the place that I receiv-
ed. For three meter, I expected to (within
the top eight) be All-American...but since
I didn’t achieve it, I still have two
years...to try to become national champ.”’

Diving coach Jim Serbalik said, ‘‘She
pulled a very pleasant surprise in the one
meter competition by qualifying 16th out
of 51, and then moving 12th in the com-
petition. Considering that we worked
primarily three meter in practice, that was
an exceptional one meter.

“She dove very consistent and finished

track team set for spring

meter sprints, they have a powerful trio in
Michael Salmon, Jose Maymi, and Robert
DeMaio. They placed fourth, fifth and
sixth respectively in the States in the 100
meters.

In the 400 meters, Albany has Mayini
and DeMaio. Demaio is a transfer from
Robert Wesleyan and hopes to bolster the
strong sprinting contingent.

Mayini, a sophomore tri-captain said,
“The sprint team is a solid base which

The Albany men’s track team is jumping into their spring season.

should serve as a major contributor in
point scoring for the team.’’ He also said,
“There is room for improvement.

Moving up to the middle distance
events, the Danes remain in good shape. In
the 800 meters, they have Todd Buckley,
who placed fifth indoors, and Jim Clancy.
In the 1500 meters, Albany has Joseph Mc-
Cullen, an outstanding freshman, and
Steve Collins, and experienced junior.

Going onto the long distance events,
which are comprised of the 3,000, 5,000,
10,000 meters and Steeplechase, the Danes
have Gregorio Luciano, Dave Spencer,
Mike Kiely, and Chris Kranick. Coach
Vives said the long distance teams are
“talented and young with room for
improvement.””

The field events see the Danes looking
good. In the long and triple jumps, the
team has Dave Francis and John Ashley,
both of whom scored in the indoor state
meet. Francis is a freshman who placed
third in the long jump and who Vives con-
siders to be ‘‘a natural athlete who can ex-
cel in any event.’”

Ashley is equally impressive, just miss-
ing by half an inch to qualify for the na-
tional competition in the triple jump.

In the pole vault, the Danes have Tom
Mead, who was a State Champion in-
doors, and Brendon Bertsch, a newcomer
to the event.

In the throwing events, the Danes are
young and inexperienced, but are improv-
ing. Albany has George Caporin, a junior
tri-captain, who placed an unexpected
sixth indoors. Also throwing for the Danes

-are Craig LaFay, Chuck Peters, Jay

Wolferman and newcomer Tom Eilers.
Possibly, Albany’s best area of competi-
tion is the hurdles. They have Juan San-
chez, an indoor State Champion in the 55
meter hurdles; Wilfredo Rodriguez, and
exceptional freshman who was a Collegiate
Track Conference Champion; Bruce
Gaynor, a senior tri-captain; and Mike
Wasserman, who placed fifth indoors.
Vives notes that each of these four in-

Brenda had improved markedly over her
freshman year and the competition im-
proved her almost as much. She is now the
first two-time All-American (diver) from
SUNY Albany. We were very pleased with
her performance and are looking forward
to starting in the fall.”

Observations
and predictions

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR

While we were away on spring break...

I don’t know whether Pete Rose is
guilty of gambling, but he won’t win any
‘Father of the Year’’ contests. Accor-
ding to recent stories, Roses’ own son,
Pete Jr., has to call Dad’s agent, to talk
to baseball’s all-time hitter.

When asked about his relationships
with his kids, Rose replied, ‘I just
bought my daughter a Mercedes last
week, I can’t be that bad a father.” Pete
may make the Baseball Hall of Fame, but
he won’t get in the ‘‘Humanity”’ hall of
fame.

Tomorrow is the Final Four. Michigan
ys. Illinois, and Seton Hall vs. Duke. My
heart says Seton Hall vs. Michigan, but
it’ll probably be Illinois and Duke.

Finally, baseball season starts on Mon-
day. We’ll have previews on the Mets and
Yankees in Monday’s ASP. The Mets are
as strong as ever while the Yanks look
like a hospital ward. Being a Yankee fan,
it’s going to be a long season.

Anyways, here are my predictions for
the four divisions: NL East-Pirates, NL.
West-Padres, AL East-Blue Jays, AL
West-Athletics. My associate editor Gil
predicts: NL East-Mets, NL West
Padres, AL East-Toronto, AL West-
Royals.

Did anybody see what happened to
Buffalo Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk
last week? His jugular vein was cut by a
skate in Buffalo’s game vs. St. Louis. If
you saw the ghastly télevision replay, it’s
something you’ll remember for a long
time. Malarchuk is lucky to be alive after
the amount of blood he lost.

The Knicks have clinched a playoff
spot and look to win the Atlantic Divi-
sion title. Mark Jackson in only his se-
cond game back from a knee injury had a
triple double (assists, points, and re-
bounds). Could we possibly see a NY-LA
NBA final?

After almost 30 years on the job, NFL
commissioner Pete Rozelle resigned last
week. This was truly shocking, as how
you do replace an irreplaceable man? The
NFL went from an afterthought of
baseball season to an American sports in-
stitution in the last 30 years. :

Jim Abbott, a rookie, will be starting
for the California Angels. Abbott is not
disabled or handicapped because if
you’ve ever seen him play, he’s just like
any other player. He’s earned everything
he’s received so far.

Locally, Albany spring sports start
this weekend. We will try to print as
many times for upcoming home events.
Now that the weather is improving,
everyone should get out and see our
teams. o
