Construction on Fuller Road dorm postponed

By Ilene Weinstein
NEWS EDITOR
Plans for the construction of a
$6 million dormitory on Fuller
Road have been postponed in-
definitely because of financial
problems imposed by a tax-
reform bill recently passed by the
U.S. House of Representatives.
Scheduled to open by fall 1987,
the dormitory was to accomodate
400 students and reduce the de-

According to SUNYA Presi-
dent Vincent O’Leary, the project
was to be financed by the Dor-
mitoy Authority, which is em-
powered by New York State to
finance construcstion for a varie-
ty of public agencies, including
SUNY.

The Dormitory Authority can
finance construction only by the
selling of tax-exempt bonds, said

Campus edition of Knick
stops its presses Feb. 7

By Rene Babich
STAFF WRITER

Following three years of publication and continued financial dif-
ficulties, the campus edition of the Knickerbocker News will no
longer be published.

“It didn’t sell—it’s as simple as that,”’ said Knickerbocker News
managing editor William Dowd.

Introduced in January, 1983 with Timothy Aurentz as its editor,
Dowd and others believed that it would be a success. Investigations
were conducted that led them to believe that the edition would sell,
he said.

“I tried focus groups,’’ Dowd said. ‘I found people from the
potential market and interviewed them.”

Going to six different campuses, Dowd conducted personal in-
terviews with on-campus students, part-time students, commuters,
and faculty to get their point of view, and found that they respond-
} ed favorably to the idea.

By grouping college-oriented news on a special front page, it was
believed that the paper would better appeal to college students and
faculty, said Dowd.

Although the campus edition was essentially the same as the
regular issue, the campus edition featured a distinct front page en-
titled ‘On Campus.”

Because it was thought that enough neople would respond to a
paper which emphasizes college life, the campus edition was sold

on campuses and in areas where many students live. 11

The new tax-reform bill limits
the number of tax-exempt bonds
a state may issue to finance con-
struction, said O‘Leary.

A project to build a $10 million
parking lot in Binghamton has
also been postponed because of
the House bill.

Although the tax-reform plan
has not been brought before the

board

Senate ‘yet, the. bill “is “being”

treated like law,” said Holmes.
Selling bonds is a ‘‘risky
business” and no bonds can be
sold until the bill is decided.

The bill could come before the
Senate for a vote by late spring,
and could go into effect by
January,1987, unless there are
major disagreements over it, said
Holmes.

would happen to the project in
Albany,’’ said Chuck Thompson,
administrative director for
SUNY’s Construction Fund.

People are less likely to buy
bonds that are not tax-exempt,
said O’Leary. ‘‘Bonds are always
a sensitive issue.””

The House bill also” includes
two new restrictions on tax-
exempt financing.

~""“First;-five percent of the pro-

ject’s cost must be spent within 30
days of getting financing. It’s
physically impossible to obtain
contracts for construction with
this type of restriction, said
Holmes.

The second restriction is that all
proceeds for the project must be
spent within three years or the
bonds will no longer be tax-

According to Holmes, finishing
the project in three years is possi-
ble. But, sometimes ‘‘there are
events beyond our control.’’

The Dormitory Authority is
looking for alternative sources of
funds in order to start the project.
However, ‘‘we don’t know if we
will be successful,” said Holmes.

As of yet, the university ‘‘does
not have any alternatives,”’ said
Lewis Welch, Vice President for.
University Affairs.

Welch said that he is optimistic
the problems can be resolved
sometime this year.

O’Leary said that he is ‘‘not
giving up” and refuses to be
pessimistic about the situation.

Alleged attacker in Colonial Quad
assault released on $10,000 bail

By Bill Jacob
and Pam Conway

A suspect accused of sodomizing and sexually
assaulting a Colonial Quad resident was released
after his parents posted $10,000 bail, according to
Sol Greenberg, the Albany County District At-
torney pursuing the case.

University police arrested Micheal Luciano, 16,
of Brooklyn, around noon on Sunday, February 9,
after a Clinton Hall resident reported that she was
sexually attacked at approximately 5:30 a.m. that
day, university spokesperson Sheila Mahan said.

According to Greenberg, Luciano was charged
with first degree sodomy, first degree sexual abuse,
and one class of burglary.

Luciano was arraigned Monday in Albany Police
Court and bail was set at $25,000, Greenberg said.

Bail was later reduced to $10,000 and posted for
Luciano, Greenberg said.

Luciano, also known by the name Stephen
Thiessen, was visiting another student on campus
for the weekend, said Mahan.

Luciano faces a jail term from eight years and
four months to 25 years, Greenberg said, adding
that most cases are plea-bargained down to a max-
imum of 20 years.

Greenberg said his office will request to present
the case to a grand jury and will strongly oppose a
youthful offender status for Luciano.

The Department of Public Safety would not
release an official account of the incident, accor-
ding to Director of Public Safety James Williams.

The victim, whose name was not released by Public
Safety, gave this account of the incident:

The victim said that she hadn’t been feeling well
that night and her boyfriend had come over to be
with her. She fell asleep in her own bed while her
boyfriend fell asleep in her roommate’s bed. Her
roommate was away for the night.

At approximately 5:30 a.m., the victim said she
awoke to realize that a man had entered her room
and that she was being sexually assulted.

The victim said that she then called to her
boyfriend for help and he woke up and threw the
assailant out of the room.

The suspect had been visiting another Clinton
hall resident and was supposed to be in another
room.

After the attack, the suspect allegedly went
upstairs and fell asleep in an arbitrary room. The
victim said that she had heard the suspect had been
drinking.

The victim said that she phoned the University
Police Department (UPD) around 6:00 a.m. UPD
arrived on the scene approximately ten minutes
later but could not find the assailant until about
12:00 p.m. because he was sleeping upstairs.

The victim said that the attack was not violent in
that she was not physically hurt or threatened, and
that sexual intercourse was not involved.

A dorm meeting was held at Clinton Hall
Wednesday night to make the residents aware of
safety issues and to clear up false rumours about the
attack, the victim said.

Haiti sees crackdown

Port-au-Prince, Haiti

(AP) Haiti’s new rulers shut down the
government newspaper, announced the ar-

deposed President Jean-Claude Duvalier.

The six-man National Government
Council on Wednesday ordered the paper
Le Nouveau Monde closed ‘‘for

might be reopened. Other newspapers,
some of which had been pro-Duyalier but
privately owned, continue to publish.

Union were set Thursday to seal an agree-
ment for civilian flights. between the two
countries for the first time in more than
four years.

Group drops lacocca

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Lee Iacocca, one of America’s best
known businessmen, has been fired for on-
ly the second time in his life, and the man
who did it says it was because Iacocca had
a_conflict-of-interest problem while
heading a commission to restore the Statue
of Liberty.

Tacocca is still chairman of Chrysler
Corp., the company he rescued after being
bounced as president of Ford Motor Co. in
1978. It’s his unpaid job as chairman of
the government’s chief advisory committee
on the Statue of Liberty restoration that he
lost.

Secretary of Interior Donald P. Hodel
said Wednesday he fired Iacocca because
the chairman and budding author would
not resign from the commission to concen-
trate on his more important, better-known.
and conflicting job as chief of the restora-
tion project’s fund-raising foundation.

‘I resent any inference on his part of
conflict of interest,‘ Iacocca said. ‘The
truth is that the secretary is in conflict with
his own charter. This is a grab for four
years worth of contributions by the
American people,’’ he said.

whose leaders are in Bogota, Columbia.

The Drug Enforcement Administration
launched an investigation late last summer
using undercover agents. The probe is ex-
pected to continue for several more mon-
ths, and no arrests have yet been made.

Eastern’s management has cooperated

Tylenol not cleared

White Plains
| (AP) Investigators have ruled out any link
between the death of a woman who
swallowed cyanide-laced Extra-Strength
Tylenol to those of seven people in 1982 in
Illinois, but are not near solving the latest
case. :

Tampering at the factory has not been
tuled out, officials said, despite the
Westchester County medical examiner’s
contention that cyanide found in the
pain killer would have eaten through the
capsules in eight to 10 days. The suspected
batch was manufactured last summer.

“It might have happened at the factory,
it might have happened during shipping, it
might have happened at the store,”’ county
District Attorney, Carl Vergari said
Wednesday.

Diane Elsroth, 23, daughter of a state
police investigator, died Saturday after
taking two Extra-Strength Tylenol cap-
sules, at least one of which contained
potassium cyanide, said Dr. Millard
Hyland, the county medical examiner.

Perlstein to chair committee

By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER

Student Association (SA) Presi-
dent Steve Gawley appointed ex-
Central Council member Mark
Perlstein as chair of the Executive
Budget Committee on Monday.

It was alleged by some Central
Council members, however, that
Perlstein was made chair as a conces-
sion for not being appointed Pro-
gramming Director last year.

Replying to the allegations, Perls-
tein said, “I don’t think it was a con-
cession. I hope it wasn’t. I’ll resign if
it is the case.””

Perlstein, who lives on Indian
Quad, officially resigned from Cen-
tral Council on Monday. He was
amony 35 other applicants who were
being interviewed this past weekend
by Gawley, SA Controller Eric
Schwartzman, SA Programming
Director, Betty Ginzburg and SA
Affirmative Action Coordinator
Dan Borg.

Perlstein said he was asked during
the interview if he were interested in
being chair of the committee, and he
replied, ‘‘yes.”” “‘ By no means was
the decision made before the inter-
view,”’ he said.

Perlstein said he resigned from
Council Monday night after he
found out about his appointment. ‘‘I
had expected to be appointed a
member of budget committee,” said
Perlstein.

“Perlstein felt he had a good
chance,” said Bill McCann, Central
Council chair. “If he didn’t get ap-
pointed, he would still have resigned
Central Council,’” McCann said.

The Executive Budget Committee
is a 15-member committee responsi-
ble for writing and balancing the
Student Association budget. This
budget will determine the amount of
funds to be allocated to 90 SA-
funded groups. In the past, Perlstein
has served as Indian Quad Board
President, as a member of the Cen-

and as the organizer of Parents
Weekend last fall. According to
Gawley, Indian Quad Board met its
income line while Perlstein served as
its president.

The Executive Budget Committee
was instituted by Central Council
when it passed the Budget Act of
1984, according to Central Council
member Steve Landis.

From the committee, the budget is
then given to Steve Gawley who in
turn presents it to Central Council
and its legistlative budget committee
for approval.

“I felt I could have an impact on
what happens next year,”’ said Perls-
tein. ‘‘Executive Budget Committee
sets the tone,”’ he said, ’’and affects
what is done in the legislative budget
committee.”

Perlstein said he was more at-~
tracted to a position on the Ex-
ecutive Budget Committee instead of

Committee.

“We feel (Perlstein) was the best
qualified,” said Dan Borg, Affir-
mative Action Coordinator.

“(Mark Perlstein) is as good as
anyone else going for budget com-
mittee,” said Schwartzman.

“‘As far as I know, I don’t see why
he was more qualified than anyone
else,” said Jonathan Flam, who was
appointed to this year’s committee
after having served on last year’s
budget committee.

“I don’t know what he knows
about budget policy, but how could
anyone know anything more than
someone who sat on the committee
last_year,’’ said Risa Sonenshine,
another member of the committee.

Perlstein said, ‘‘I don’t know it all
that’s why there is a committee.”’ He
said his duty as a chair is to see that
hearings are run in an orderly, pro-
per fashion, and to guide the com-

tral Council Finance Committee,

King’s life honored at luncheon

By Rachel Braslow
STAFF WRITER

Approximately 200 students and faculty members
gathered in the Campus Center Ballroom Tuesday for the
annual Martin Luther King Black History Luncheon to
hear guest speaker Lerone Bennett Jr. who spoke on the
conributions of blacks to American life.

Bennett, the senior editor of Ebony Magazine, is a well-
known author and historian, and was a classmate of Dr.
Martin Luther King, at Morehouse College.

In his speech, Bennett stressed that Americans are
cheated when history books exclude the contributions of
all people, not just those who are part of the majority
population.

The luncheon was co-sponsored by the Office on
Minority Student Services, Affirmitive Action, Student
Association (SA), the New York State Writers’ Institute
and University Auxilliary Services (UAS).

Carl Martin, the Director of Student Services and
Director on Minority Student Services served as the
emcee. Paco Duarte SA. Minority Affairs Director
monitored the event along with SUNYA students
Veronica Anderson and Yvett Rooks.

At the luncheon, Dr. John Oliver was presented with
this year’s Martin Luther King Convocation Award.
Oliver is a professor at SUNYA’s school of Social
Welfare. The award is annually presented to a person ex-
emplifying involvement in community service along with
services which King advocated.

Oliver attributes his award to the collectivity of people.
“I don’t believe individuals receive awards based on
merits of other people. You’re just fortunate enough to
win the award. It could not have been possible if I hadn’t
been assisted by other people.” he said.

According to Duarte, although the luncheon was well
attended, it was not a full house. The audience was com-
posed primarily of black students, he said.

Duarte said that he was very pleased by the event.
“This luncheon surpassed all others. The speaker added a

lot to the event. He was one who could relate to the com-
munity,”’ he said.

Patrick Romain, a student who attended the luncheon,
said that it was ‘‘one of the most educational things I’ve
experienced at SUNY. I learned so much about my roots
and how the black people contributed so much to this
nation.”

Romain added, “‘I think Mr. Bennett broadened my
horizons a lot about where we should go. Dr. King
stimulated our interests, Mr. Bennett kept our passion
burning. He was saying we have to keep fighting for what
we beleive in.”

Tihan Presbie, another student at the luncheon, was
also impressed. ‘Bennett was a very good speaker. His
perception showed how blacks have been involved in the
United States,”’ he said. Qa

RAs assemble to
discuss possible
unionizing plans

By David Spalding
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

A group of Resident Assistants held a closed meeting
Wednesday night to ‘openly discuss”’ the possibility of
forming an organized group, according to Student
Association President Steve Gawley.

The RA organizers, who refused to be named,
declined to disclose the details of the meeting.

‘‘What’s under consideration is the possibility of
forming a group... a better (group) than the advisory
council’’, said Gawley, who left the meeting after giv-
ing a speech to the RA’s.

After the meeting, which was not open to the press
or the public, one RA organizer from Alumni Quad
said he was happy with the turnout. ‘‘All of the RA’s
were represented.”

The RA organizers said they are planning another
meeting so all of the RA’s who could not attend or
were not represented by other RA’s can voice their
opinions.

The RA organizers anticipated that in “two or three
weeks a formal RA group may be ready.”

Vice President of Student Affairs Frank Pogue said
he was not aware of the RA meeting and had no com-
ment, saying he had not discussed these developments
with Residential Life staff.

The RA Advisory Board is the present forum in
which RA’s and Residential Life’s professional staff
can meet to discuss RA related issues. In a recent con-
ducted opinion poll, many RA’s expressed dissatisfac-
tion with the Advisory Board.

Gawley said he considered the RA meeting a success
for two reasons, “‘The RA’s were offered an opportuni-
ty to meet unfetterd by outside views and secondly
there was a good and equal representation from across
campus.””

“SA has taken the first step in assisting the RA’s,”’
said Gawley, expaining SA’s role in aiding the RA’s,
“‘we will offer any assistance requested, but now it is
largely in the hands of the RA’s.””

Last spring, a group of RA’s on Indian Quad at-
tempted to form an RA group called the Coalition of
Resident Assistants (CORA), according to former
CORA organizer Joe Fusco.

CORA failed in it’s attempt of form an independent
group because ‘‘a lot of people backed down because
they felt intimidated,”’ said Fusco.

Fusco said that Residential Life officials threatened
to fire members of CORA.

“We were told that if we continued with our efforts
or tried to use union tactics we would be fired. It was
never our intention to act like a labor union,”’ he said.

The RA’s have gotten off to a good start, said Fusco,
who attended the RA meeting Wednesday.

This new effort includes RA’s from all Quads, it has
started earlier in the semester than CORA did, and it
has moral support from SA, he said.

“The moral support is very important because this
doesn’t have a precedent,”’ said Fusco.

SA attorney Mark Mishler, who attended the RA
meeting to answer legal questions, said that as public
employees, the RA’s cannot be fired if they attempt to
form a group as ‘‘a bargaining unit’’.

According to Mishler, the Taylor law section 210 of
the New York State Civil Service Law, prohibits the fir-
ing of state employees who form a union or bargaining
unit. The same law also prohibits public employees
from going on strike.

“Hopefully if the RA’s feel they need such a body,
the administration would agree to it,’’ Mishler said.
“The initial step is to see if Residential Life will
recognize this issue.”” Oo

Barbach contrasts sexual cultures

By Merri Berlin
STAFF WRITER

“How people are sexually dif-
fers from culture to culture,”’ ac-
cording to Dr.Lonnie Barbach in
her presentation entitled Sexuality
and Role Scripting.

Approximately seventy people
attended the Tuesday night event
in the campus center ballroom,
which was the keynote adress of
Sexuality Week.

Barbach is the author of several
books on the topic of sexuality,
and touched upon male and
female models of sexuality and
the variance of sexual roles
among different cultures.

Barbach used the examples of
two cultures with very contrasting
ideas on sexuality, to explain her
viewpoint.

What Barbach described as
‘one of the most sexually repress-
ed socities in the world’’ is an
island off the coast of Ireland.

On the other extreme, Barbach
said, there is an island in the
South Pacific which maintians sex
as it’s principle interest. Both
males and females are encouraged
to engage in pre-marital sex with
many different partners.

In our society, ‘‘...there are two
major cultures,”” Barbach said,
*there’s a male culture which is
the ‘fantasy model of sex’ and the
female culture which consists of
the ‘females own knowledge of
sex’ ””.

In the male fantasy model of
sex, Barbach said that the male
genitalia plays the dominant role.

With regard to women, Bar-
bach said that women don’t know
much about their own bodies or
sex. Women ate the nurturers and
they put their needs secondary to

the needs of others.

Barbach explaned that women
encounter sexuality problems
because society conditions women
to repress sexual feelings before
marraige.

Women learn how to control
their feelings, and when it is
deemed acceptable to have sex, all

‘the fears of holding back can in-

terfere, making sex less
pleasurable than is expected, Bar-
bach said.

At one time, men initiated sex,
said Barbach, but now women are
becoming more assertive. “Now
men have to learn to say no”

According to Barbach, our
society makes verbal and non-
verbal communication very dif-
ficult. Men are supposed to be
“rational, logical, never
vulnerable, and never just
needing a hug.”

Men are taught to go for sex as
just a way of being nutured; not
to go for a hug, what they really
desire, she said.

Pressures on people to perform
sexually have mounted as of re-
cent, said Barbach. Both males
and females now worry about
their performance and ap-
pearance and this detracts from
the pleasure of the act.

“I think she didn’t address sex
roles and how they evolved,” said
Allyson Beletti, a senior at
SUNYA. ‘‘She didn’t answer the
questions. She skirted the issues.”

“Tt was supposed to be a
workshop on sexuality, but it
didn’t pertain to the topic,’
Beletti said. ‘She spoke more
about male sexuality than female
sexuality.”

Beletti also said that the atten-

dance was ‘‘so low. Most of the
people there were from Middle
Earth because it was required for
a class.””

‘The whole thing was a disap-
pointment,”’ she said.

However, Valerie Fahey, ad-
ministrative coordinator for Mid-
dle Earth, said that Barbach is
dynamic and a good speaker.
“She’s done a lot of research in
the field and her name is known
among some of the students who
have read her books as part of
their curriculum.”’

Phil Donahue was another
choice, said Fahey, but he’s not
an authority on human sexuality,
as Barbach is. iia

Cable TV in dorms eyed for ‘86

By Karen Beck
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

SUNYA Students could be en-
joying cable television in their
dorms and suites ‘‘as early as the
fall of 1986,” according to Betty
Ginzburg, Student Association
Programming Director, who has
been researching the possibiblity
on making cable TV available to
on campus students since June of
last year.

Although a survey conducted
by SA eight years ago refleted
that sudents ‘‘showed little in-
terest”’ in having cable television
in their rooms, Ginzburg said the
increased number of TVs on cam-
pus and the expanding popularity
of cable ‘‘ should make cable TV
in the dorms an appealing idea for
students.”’

Ginzburg has scheduled a new
student survey to be conducted
within the next two weeks either
on dinner lines or on a door-to-
door basis. The survey will be
conducted by the Association of
College Enterpeneurs (ACE).

“Having the survey conducted
by ACE will be beneficial because
they are not affiliated with the
university and they are not fund-
ed by Student Association,”
Ginzburg said.

Eight years ago, the estimated
cost of close circuiting the campus
was approximately $75,000.

According to Ginzburg, the
cost now could be as high as
$400,000. ‘‘No budget cuts will be
made to fund this. Our hope is
that Capitol Cablevision won’t
charge us for making the service
available to students.’’ The cost
for a suite to maintian a cable
hookup, with some entertainment
channels would cost $20 a month.

As a part of acquiring cable ac-
cessibility on campus, SA is also
planning to establish on-campus
television station, which, accor-
ding to Ginzburg, ‘‘holds
outstanding possibilities which
would include special interest pro-
gramming, an increased interest
in university athletics and perfor-
ming arts, and an additional
avenue for individual groups to
reach students on all five quads
through advertising.””

“The only cost I see SA incurr-
ing would be for the proposed on
campus television station which
campus group commercials could
offset or even pay for,’ said
Ginzsburg.

“Right now we don’t have any
expertise to make commercials,”’
said Eric Schartzman, SA con-
troller. ‘I’m not an expert in the
area so I have no idea how TV
commercials could be run
through a campus network.”

“Tn order for cable TV to
become a reality on our campus,”
said Ginzburg, ‘‘it is necessary for
both the university and the cable
company to approve the idea.”
Ginzburg plans to submit the
results of next week’s survey to
the university “for ideas and ad-
ditional input.”

Frank Lees, SUNYA’s Vice
President for Information
Systems and Technology, said
that he sees the value of cable
television on campus as “‘partly
commercial, partly educational,
and partly entertainment.’’

Lees also works in conjunction
with the SUNYA Educational
Communication Center (ECC),
which is interested in working
with SA on some of the educa-
tional aspects of on campus cable
television. ‘‘While we’re not in
a position to finance it or take

resposibiblity for it, we are willing
to work with it in exchange for
providing educational
programs.”’

“Cabling the rooms will pro-
bably be the largest expense, but
the existing receiving dishes on
campus could be used for the
system,’ said Lees.

“‘We’re still very much in the
planning stages,’ said Ginzburg.
“The survey is going to tell us a
lot.” While a pilot project for
cable television had originally
been suggested for Alumni Quad,
Ginzburg saw the idea as being ‘‘
limited because there are so many
foreign students and grad
students living there and there are
only two people living in each
room.””

Ginzburg saw a need to receive
input from students on the up-
town quads beause of different
situations that could arise.
“There are no suite rooms on In-
dian Quad, so sharing a cable
hookup would have to be ex-
plored.” she said.

“T think cable TV in the dorms
is a great idea,” said Mike
Petrone, a sophomore from In-
dian Quad ‘‘especially now that
the drinking age is 21. We could
get some beer and sit around wat-
ching moyvies.””

Mark Dombeck, a freshman
who lives on State Quad,sees
cable television in the dorms as ‘‘a
good way to learn more about
what’s going on around cam-
pus.”’ im)

cAspeculation

n grade school, Valentine’s Day was easy. All the kids made paper hearts for
Mom and Dad, wrote “I love you” on them, and were done with it.
In junior high things got a little more complex. We gave our friends cute lit-
tle Valentine’s Day cards. There was usually one for a teacher, so we had to pick a
favorite. And then there were a few that said something daring like, “I want you
for my Valentine.” So those were set apart from the rest and given to selected
members of the opposite sex. It was sort of a hint to people that we could have
crushes on — but not necessarily.

By high school, the importance of Valentine’s Day was painfully clear. Students
could order carnations the week before the 14th, which would be delivered to
designated sweethearts in homeroom on that sacred day — in front of everybody.
Since they would wilt in the lockers, the carnations were carried all day long. And
those who didn’t get any would claim that theirs were in their lockers.

Since I had heard about this practice of carnation-giving from my older brother,
my biggest fear as a freshman in high school was that I wouldn’t have a valentine
for Valentine’s Day. As February approached and panic set in, my brother assured
me that, as a rule, nobody loves freshmen. Therefore, there wouldn’t be many
flowers given out in my homeroom.

I didn’t find this very comforting. The night before the big day, | warned my
mother of my upcoming social humiliation, which was sure to get back to her at
the next P.T.A meeting. She sighed a motherly sigh, took my hands, and said,
“Loren, I'm sure your brother will send you a carnation.”

“No way! He denies that he even has a sister in the school! He won't even look at
me in public. You're cracked, Mom,” I told her.

But, with motherly disillusionment, she promised, “He won't let you down on
Valentine's Day.”

Well, when the last flower was handed out in homeroom the next morning, and
it wasn’t handed to me, I knew that I shouldn’t be angry at my brother. After all,
hadn't I told my mother she was cracked for even suggesting that he would send
me a Valentine carnation?

Shame won out over reason, however, and I asked my homeroom teacher for
the bathroom pass and stormed over to my brother's homeroom. I ran in and
demanded, “Where's my flower?” ‘

He looked confused. I blurted out between sobs, “Mommy said she was sure
you'd send me a carnation.”

At that, he broke into hysterics and, being asthmatic, began to wheeze uncon-
trollably. The homeroom teacher called the nurse to bring up some medication,
telling her, “I think his sister told him a joke.”

In tenth grade, I planned to avoid the trauma of a carnationless Valentine’s Day.
By the end of January I had a cute blond picked out, and I began the process of
securing a Valentine. By February romance was budding. | just hoped it would
bloom into a carnation by the 14th.

Then, on the 12th, my new sweetheart admitted to me that he hadn’t ordered a
carnation for me, and now it was too late. I had to understand. How could he be
sure that we'd still like each other by Valentine’s Day? New romance is often
fleeting.

By the next Valentine’s Day we were still a couple, ahd he was secure enough to
order the carnation a week in advance. And when the cute blond was still around
in senior year, I even looked forward to Valentine's Day.

But I didn’t forget the humiliation of those first high school Valentine’s Days.
When my sister entered high school, I took pity and ordered a carnation for her. I
couldn’t let her suffer among the unloved freshmen. On that all-important day, I
waited for her to come out of homeroom. When she spotted me, she called out,
“Oh, Lor! Thank God you're here — Could you give me a hand?”

She dumped her books on top of mine, ran back into homeroom, and came out

with both arms full of carnations. I stared in awe and mumbled, “Did you get
mine?”

“Your what?” she asked.

“My carnation. I sent you a carnation.”

“Oh, thanks,” she smiled. “I didn’t have time to read all the cards yet.”

The pressure of Valentine’s Day is eased somewhat in the anonymity of a large
university like SUNYA. While it may be alittle more difficult to form attatchments
in a school of over 16,000 students, there’s just that many. more possible Valen-
tines. My friend, I'll call him Joe (possibly his real name), hasn’t given up the search
for a Valentine at SUNYA. He told me this week, “There's this girl who used to be
in my management class and would sit a few rows in front of me, and I know that I
could probably fall in love with her — if only I could just meet her!”

And that is the true spirit of the holiday.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Blacks united by African origins

By E. Paul Stewart

MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR

This week I would like to share with you one
short poem I wrote not to long ago, which I feel is
relevant to this week’s topic.

When Did We Divide

When did we divide,

was it during the trip over,

While chained to the bow of the ship.

When did we divide,

was it on arrival when those of us who

survived were separated from out immediate

loved ones.

When did we divide,

was it on the plantation,

when survival may have depended on it.

We never stopped loving, we never

stopped feeling, though we were treated

as mindless animals. why did we divide?

Was it because we felt we could make it

on our own? That couldn’t be

the answer.

Why did we divide, did we think

that alone we could assume un-

noticed. No that’s not possible,

Why did we divide? Was it because our blood

that was diluted by rape must make us different?

It does not.

Why do we remain divided? Is it because

we don’t see our bretheren suffering? Is it

because our struggles are not one?

Our struggle is one, our struggle is unique

so let us divide the work...and not

each other.

COME TO GRANDMA’S

For several years I have been trying to do my part
to “‘bridge the gap between West Indian and
American black people. Although things have im-
proved a great deal in the past several years (par-
ticularly on college campuses) we still have a long
way to go. the basic problem separating our people
everywhere, is ignorance. Our disparate placement
by our captors. when we were removed from ‘‘the
continent,”’ laid the groundwork for our current
disunity. We have a tendency (which must be over-
come) to pledge our first allegiance to a locality,
when it should be pledged to blood and ultimate
culture, 1 t matters not, whether we are from Loui-
siana and North Carolina or Trinidad and Jamaica,
these localities came upon us by happenstance, our
commonality is our original homeland, Africa. Just
as we can not divorce ourselves from Africa, as its
children, let us not attempt to divorce ourselves
from each other.

Black History Month is an excellent time to be
retrospective on this issue, which should be a daily
concern. The very name of the month is important
to note. It is not “Afro-American” or West Indian,
it is Black History Month. It demonstrates that the
word black encompasses all of us. Let us be aware
of who we are and then perhaps we can be even
more productive, together.

This week’s quote is from Langston Hughes’
“Dream Variation”

Rest at pale evening...

A tall slim tree...

The start of the
union

The battle between labor and management has
never been an easy one. About a century ago,
Samuel Gompers began his drive to put workers on
an equal footing with their employers. His efforts
led to the formation of the American Federation of
Labor, which today is one of the nation’s most
powerful unions.

The road, however, was not without its obstacles.
Gompers faced uncooperative managements,
workers who disagreed with his tactics and
strategies, and workers who were afraid to oppose
management at all. But Gompers had to start
somewhere.

The supporters of a Resident Assistants’ union,
while on a much smaller scale, face similar
obstacles: Residential Life, which like any manage-
ment isn’t anxious to have a union, and RAs, some
of whom are intimidated by implicit threats of
retribution from Residential Life, and some of
whom are “‘loyal’’ to Res. Life. But they too, have
to start somewhere.

For whatever reason, more than 100 RAs did not
attend a meeting Wednesday night to discuss the
possibility of forming a group or union. While
some RAs were probably busy, others have made it
clear that they are afraid to get involved.

Although Res. Life has steered clear of the matter
so far, RAs who are reapplying next year, as well as
first-time applicants, are probably concerned that
attending these meetings would jeopardize their
chances of being hired as RAs.

Perhaps some RAs heard stories about those who
supported the Coalition of Resident Assistants last
year, a group of Indian Quad RAs who tried to
stand up to Res. Life, and who reportedly ended up
taking a lot of heat for their actions. But CORA
didn’t have the wide support that this movement
has; all five quads were represented at Wednesday’s
meeting, and SA officials, who have to ties to Res.
Life, are helping the RAs get past some of the
obstacles.

A rallying point of most unions is that there is
strength in numbers. Even if Res. Life wanted to
take action against those who supported a union, its
hands would be'tied if enough RAs were involved;
Res. Life couldn’t just harrass or fire the entire RA
staff.

Those who are reluctant to unionize because of
their loyalty to Res. Life are suffering from a
misconception. Unions are not supposed to be
natural adversaries of management; even Res. Life
recognizes the need for RAs to be formally
represented in occasional meetings between the two.

But RAs are dissatisfied with the current means
of communication, the RA Advisory Board, which
is a group comprised of two RAs from each quad
that meets periodically with an Assistant Director
of Res. Life to discuss RAs’ criticisms, but does lit-
tle about them.

The current proposal would have them form a
Student Association recognized group that would
have more direct power than the Advisory Board.
As a group, RAs could advocate any position they
want without fear of reprisal. But there’s one catch
— there’s no guarantee anyone will pay attention.

The University does not have to recognize any
group officially unless it is a legal union. One of the
criticisms of the Advisory Board that RAs have is
that they aren’t allowed to deal with John Martone,
the head of Res. Life. If RAs fail to unionize, they
face the same risk; Res. Life is not obligated to meet
any group for any reason.

SA recognition was also granted to CORA, which
did little to help the group’s cause. Res. Life didn’t
listen to CORA, and it might not listen to this year’s
group of RAs. It doesn’t have to — unless RAs
unionize. And this year’s RAs have a friend CORA
didn’t have: SA.

Although SA recognized CORA, it never offered
the wholehearted support it’s offering now. SA is
helping in whatever way possible; it completely set
up Wednesday’s meeting and obtained a lecture
center for a meeting next Sunday meeting. SA is let-
ting RAs use its phone banks and copying machines
to publicize the meeting because as one SA ex-
ecutive puts it, “We want this thing to fly.”

But before this thing can fly, it must learn to
walk. On Wednesday, a step in the right direction
was taken. But RAs must show some unity next
Sunday and turn out in large numbers, or the only
step taken will be backwards.

Bring back old way

There is a very serious situation existing in the world to-
day that is a threat to world peace. As we have all seen
and heard in the last few weeks, terrorist attacks on the
citizens of free nations are jeapordizing the lives of those
citizens and trying the patience of those nations. And as
we have all seen and heard in the last few weeks, Colonel
Moammar Khadafy is behind much, if not most of those
terrorist attacks. There is no question of his supporting
terrorists such as the PLO, Islamic Jihad, and even the
Red Brigade in Italy and fanatics in the IRA in Ireland.
He has established terroist training camps in his own
country of Libya. Khadafy has become the ‘‘Hitler of the
Sahara” with no regard for human life.

David James Tassone

Concerning the most recent attacks on the airports in
Rome and Vienna, Khadafy called the terroists ‘‘heroes”
and “role models for future terrorists.”’ This is a truly
loathesome statement. But in a 180 degree turn,over a
week later, along with the 6th Fleet of the U.S. off his
coast, he claimed those terrorists must be stopped.
Khadafy is obviously mentally disturbed; He has in effect
turned terrorism into organized criminal insanity! Abu
Nidal, one of the world’s foremost terrorists and
Khadafy’s old crony, has proclaimed recently in West
German magazine Der Spiegel that he will continue to
hurt innoncent Americans wherever and whenever he can,
just to hurt America and the President. Infact, he even
claimed that Ronald Reagan is number one on his hit list
of victims. Khadafy, Nidal and the rest of these other
madmen must be stopped -- and as soon as possible.

Our European allies, or so they’re called, have all con-
ceded the truth of Khadafy and his activities. They agree
that he is an exporter of terrorism and an aggressive dic-
tator. However, just as Western Europe appeased Hitler
in the late 30’s, which only made him stronger, so
Western Europe is appeasing Khadafy in the 80’s by not
even sanctioning him economically as President Reagan
had urged them to do. The Europeans are acting soley on
the money issue and not the moral issue. They’re selling
out to Khadafy! After all the lives Americans gave to free
Europe, and all the money, supplies and technology we
poured into their countries to rebuild them after the
World Wars, we get shafted by our old pals. Also,
moderate Arab nations, including U.S. allies such as
Egypt and Saudi Arabia, have declared their support of
Khadafy in the event of a U.S. attack. After all the aid
we’ve given them, especially the AWACS planes.
Khadafy has succeeded in a crucial step of prolonging his
reign of terror -- driving a wedge between the U.S. and its
allies.

War in the Middle East now seems inevitable. With
Khadafy in power and his Soviet-made missiles now
operable, not to mention pledged support of the Arab na-
tions, and a host of do-nothing European nations,
Khadafy is free to continue the terrorism against innocent

victims and aggression against weak nations (i.e. Chad
and Sudan). The United States stands alone, with the ex-
ception of Israel. The sanctions we have imposed will not
make a dent in Khadafy’s terrorist and war machines.
Military action seems to be the only answer. Khadafy has
claimed that if the U.S. attacks his country, 2 million Li-
byans will be ready to fight. That’s amazing considering
that’s a mobilization of over 50 percent of the popula-
tion. Khadafy, however, doesn’t have as much power as
he thinks. First, he was not elected leader by the people,
but was self-appointed in the 1969 coup against King
Idris. In his ultraconservative country, he has alienated
women by requiring them to enlist in the army. He has
alienated students and the youth of his country by hang-
ing dissenting students in Bengasi in 1974 and threatening
future dissenters. There was even an attempted assassina-
tion on his life during an attempt by guerillas to take over
his government in May of 1984. All this and more --
Americans are the ones running his oil industry, and
they’ve been ordered home by President Reagan.

Finally, most of the Arab nations are in no condition to
actually assist Khadafy militarily: Egypt, Sudan and
Saudi Arabia are U.S. allies, Iran and Iraq are at war,
Chad has a civil war on its hands, Ethiopia has a severe
famine, civil war and war with Somalia, and Morocco is a
war with Western Sahara and has tense relations with
Algeria.

In August of 1981, U.S. jets shot down aggressing Li-
byan jets in the international waters of the Gulf of Sidra,
which Khadafy claims as his. In 1801, the U.S. had a brief
war with Tripoli. The events leading to that war were
similar to today’s events. Pirates were attacking and tak-
ing over U.S. and European ships, killing innocent vic-
tims. Those terrorists demanded recognition and ransom
from the victim nations. The United States paid $2
million in ten years back then to the terrorists. On June
10, Tripole declared war with the U.S. because we would
not give into increased demands. President Thomas Jef-
ferson responded by a blockade of Tripoli’s ports and
bombardments of her fortresses. Consequently, Tripoli
learned to respect the American flag. All of this happened
in the face of unity among the Barbary nations of North
Africa and the non-involvement of the Europeans.

The United States must now, as then, act quickly.
Sanctions won’t work alone, consulting with allies is
useless. Now, as then, terrorism and aggression is
threatening our peace. Now, as then, we must use force.
Through careful planning, appropiate actions should be
the blockade of Lybyan ports and the attack on the ter-
rorist training camps within Lybia. Israel has always dealt
swiftly and firmly with terrorism by fighting back. With
the help of Isreal, we can fight back and stop Kadafy and
his band of outlaw terrorists. If we do not, the security of
the whole Middle East will surely be in danger. As our
Marine Hymn recounts that first war with Tripoli,... ‘“‘to
the shores of Tripoli, we will fight our country’s
battles...””

can find it all the time. For the majority of
the students interviewed randomly on
campus, romance is lived vicariously
through soap operas and ‘cheap novels.’
Romance, depending on one’s definition of
it, exists if one believes in it. For the sake of
this article, romance is a physical and emo-
tional relationship with someone special,
someone who is more than just a sexual
partner, friend, or date.

The far-fetched notions of romance
almost make it impossible to achieve.
Students can’t just find it by looking in the
yellow pages. It is very hard to attain for
many people, similar to the “American
Dream.” Believing in romance is half the
reason it exists, Just the way one may
believe in the Devil, Santa Claus, God, or
the Toothfairy, some people choose to
leave their reservations about romance in
their own minds, These feelings rarely.
come out. The strongest convictions of a
person are usually related to elusive per-
sons or goals.

, But while romance is elusive of many, it
can exist here, on a symmetrically struc-
tured campus that often has a symmetrical-
ly structured attitude of “sex, sex,
sex. ..and then maybe romance.”

“Why should anyone make the effort to
make a relationship work if they can just as
easily have ‘casual sex’?” asked Dutch resi-
Gent, Jessica Ortiz. “They could have all
the benefits of a relationship without
working at a relationship.”

Many believe the permissive environ-
ment of college promotes ‘casual sex.’ Or-
tiz added, “We skip the courting. Sex is
expected,”

One student professed, “Sex is the intial
stage here, but it should be worked up to.”

What about love and romance? Can we
find them on this campus? Many students
wonder if a relationship, one filled with

love and romance, can happen at SUNYA
or anywhere. Many students would like to
believe in the existence of romance but feel
the notion needs to be revived.

Before we can wonder whether we have
experienced a romantic relationship, we
must define what romance is. This is no
easy task. Many people think they are in
love, living a dream with their dreamy
partner only to wake up one day and
review their relationship and decide that it
wasn't love they experienced.Rather, it
‘was some unsubstantiated infatuation with
someone who might have represented one
solution to answer some need that seemed
so vital at the time.

That need is often sex. Sex can change a
person’s life. Sex, in some eyes, binds a
relationship and reaffirms a couple's love
and loyalty to one another. But here at
Albany, many students feel it is an abused
privilege, reduced no more than to a
physical exercise of friendship rather than
the equinox of love, the highest level of a
relationship.

The problem seems to lie with the fact
that people want to be pleased i
We rush through our daily activ
this impatience carries into our social lives.
Those who want physical pleasures
without being tied down into relationships
can easily find that here. Perhaps the time
factor is one reason.

Mary Jo Tout, R.A. of Rychman on
Dutch, believes, “Most people are scared
to get involved, to be steady for a period
of time.” There is a feeling amongst both
sexes that the opposite sex doesn’t want a
relationship, that nobody wants to get tied
down to one person.

"People are still growing up,” added
Tout. “We must know oursélves before we
can share ourselves.”

In addition to time and insecurity play-
ing a factor in the existence of relation-
ships, Tout also noted, “The future is
unknown in college — and after college.
Therefore relationships with commitments
will be hard to achieve.”

Loves back home are also a popular ex-
cuse for people not to get into a romantic
relationship at school. They don’t want so-
meone to rely on them but rather just so-
meone to have fun with. Many of these
relationships lack romance.

Some students believe that an attitude
problem exists for both sexes. Many
women claim that guys are “too much into
themselves.” Their “little cocky attitudes”
was the biggest turnoff of men to Ortiz.

“They hide behind a facade, whether in
looks or attitudes,” said Chadde Levy of
the girls at Albany State. Ortiz added, “The
girls are really loose, and the guys are real-
ly jerks.”

One anonymous student believes, like
most, “Romance is possible, not probable.”
He added, “Too many cliques exist,

creating a very superficial atmosphere.

One student who also chose to remain
anonymous, said, “Romance is fake.
Everybody wants sex. Romance is dead.”

“These are the college years and people
want to date around,” said one student.
Another disagreed, saying, “It's not a
dating school.” When asked what he thinks
of romance on campus, senior Robert Hir-
shkowitz responded, “I don’t think
anything.”

Many people feel that their social lives
will change in response to the raised New
York State drinking age. “More people are
hanging out now,” said one student. “More
small parties are around.” He added that
the best location to meet girls is in the
library, stating, “The girls don’t even bring
books anymore.”

Futterman believes “the bars are the
toughest place to meet someone. They
have bad reputations as meat markets.
They are very artificial.”

Some students had no responses to ques-
tions of ideal partners, ideal nights out, or
of their chances of meeting their future
spouses in college. The campus itself can be
a hindrance to romance or very conducive
to its existence, depending on personal
preferences. Students chose Indian Lake as
the most romantic spot on campus.

Some people point out that there is a big
pool to choose from, some 16,000 students
in all. Many like the idea of this choice,
while some feel it is too big a school to get
to know others on a personal basis. The
size of the school adds to the frequency of
short, sexually oriented relationships;
students realize that there are many
available sexual partners and may not
make an effort to pursue a serious, lasting
relationship.

Perhaps students ought to divide into
groups based upon their conceptions of
romance and love, for there are evidently a
wide variety of opinions and some strong
convictions on the subject at SUNYA. Neil
Stadler summarizes the situation: “If you
want there to be romance, there will be.”

Freshman Andrew Koris professed a
more optimistic view that “Love exists,
even in this concrete jungle.” fa

The economics of romance

veryone has wondered why some

people seem to be luckier at love

than others. Few realize that a suc-
cessful love life is a matter of pure and sim-
ple economics. You have to be able to of-
fer what the opposite sex is looking for.
Joan Rivers tells her female fans “if you're
not beautiful, then you'd better be rich.”
Joan understands. We are all out there on
the “market,” and the basic laws of supply
and demand determine how successful our
love lives are going to be.

Frank Yunker

How are the laws of supply and demand
relevant to love? Consider Mike, a two
year graduate of a community college who
wonders where to pursue his four year
degree. Due to family constraints, he has
ruled out the possibility of living on cam-
pus. He has applied to two colleges and
been accepted by both. They are Union
College, a prestigious private college
founded in 1785, and Albany State, a
leading public university. How should he
determine which to attend? Union costs
around $12,000°per year while tuition at
Albany State is only around $3,000. What
would he be getting for that extra $18,000
spent over a two year period?

The first thing to’ consider is the
male/female ratio of each school. Albany
State runs roughly one to one, while Union
is approximately six men for every one
woman. A guy like Mike has to sit back
and honestly evaluate the situation. Six
men to compete with for every woman!
Does he really feel that lucky? Naturally, if
he does think he can compete for Union

women, then the extra $18,000 could be a
wise investment. Union women, compared
to women at any public university, usually
come from more prominent and affluent
families. With a position in his future
father-in-law’s firm waiting for him when
he gets out of school, Mike could concen-
trate on having a good time without the
worry of future employment. But Mike
must really think about it. Does he really
feel that lucky?

... How are the
laws of supply and
demand relevant
to love?. . .

To fully understand the concept of supp-
ly and demand, one must consider the
theory of Demand and Utility. Utility
refers to the usefulness of the item, and the
theory states that the more useful an item
is, the greater the demand for the item is.
We, as marketable commodities, bring
useful aspects of ourselves and our lives to
a relationship.

Joe Nerd, computer major and math-
whiz, can make a other dull evening very
boring by lecturing about integrated soft-
ware and largest volume of airspace in a
given sphere when the function of the
equation is taken in the limit. So why
would he have any friends? Because he is
not the only one taking those courses. He
may be the only one enjoying the courses,
but he is not the only one taking them. His
utility to his friends is directly related to
the number of upper-level calculus courses

they are taking.

And what about Betty Bikini, that blue-
eyed buxom blonde who heard Joe Nerd
talk about ‘software’ and thought he was
refering to a new line of clothing? What is
her utility? She may not help you pass your
COBOL course this semester, but if you do
fail, she can make you not really care! That

t was a beautiful morning, a beautiful

beach, a beautiful island. White crystal

sands, clear blue waters, and a bright
warm sun in the sky.

I saw him then, walking down the beach
towards me. He was tall with broad
shoulders and a graceful walk. Sandy
brown hair, cut short, framed the strong
planes of his face and jaw. Sparkling silver-
grey eyes matched his warm; welcoming
smile. He was a stranger, yet, somehow I
knew we would spend the day together.

Sailing on the calm, clear water, swimm-
ing in secluded coves, sunning on warm
sandy beaches, the day slipped away. As
the sun set in a dusty rose sky, soft island
music filled the air. We danced late into the
night.

The music faded as we wandered down
a moonlit path along the beach. Out of
nowhere, a flower appeared in his hand, a
perfect, white rose. He pressed it into my
hand, kissing me, and whispering his love.
As I gazed down at the rose, the petals
slowly opened to reveal a shining circle of
gold, the symbol of eternal love and
devotion.

The man of my dreams

is her utility to the opposite gender.

If your love life could be made into a G-
rated movie (you know, bring the kids, br-
ing the dog; bring Grandma), then it’s time
to take some corrective action. Don’t go to
single bars. Don’t call a dating service.
Don’t become a nun! Just take a course in
economics! Oo

My world, so recently made whole, was
shattered when I looked up, and he was
gone, I collapsed, crying, in the sand.

Strong arms held me as I awoke, sobb-
ing. “What's the matter, sweetheart? Bad
dream?” Gentle fingers brushed the tears
from my cheeks. ;

“Yeah.” Hiccup: “It' was just a bad
dream.”

“Well, you'll be all right now. I'm right
here.”

I cuddled closer and smiled, looking up
into the face of the man from my dream!

he sheer popularity of soap operas has
“wa astonished everyone from psychologists
to those who perform in them. All
popular soaps use more than a measure of sex
and romance to capture viewers. And, of
course, viewers are the bottom line. Older,
respected soap actors and actresses often find
themselves suddenly unemployed in order to
give air time to the latest heart-throb couple.
Quality, it appears, is fine — so long as it
doesn’t interfere with revenues.

crowd, in particular. Some students actually
build their class schedules around a favorite
soap. Tears have been known to fall during
heavy duty installments of All My Kids and
GH. Drinking games often aid in creating
dramatic impact. For instance, a group of eight
students will sit around a television intently
watching General Hospital. Every time a
character says “Scorpio,” those playing drink a
shot or down a glass of beer. By the closing
credits, the players care little about the day’s
events. Fights even break out when viewers
take opposite sides over what one character did
to another, and why, and how.

The soat
phenon

Why do people become so immersed in
soaps? Most college students aren’t sure, and,
oddly enough, the actors themselves aren't
either. Both the actors and the viewers, though,
have their own ideas as to who is watching and
why. In a series of interviews, several soap stars
took the time to be thankful for the opportuni-
ty to gain hard to come by acting experience,
while pointing out negatives of the work and its
consequences.

The actors seem surprisingly in touch with
those who sit in front of the television. Many
students sense the quality of the shows eroding,
a suggestion the performers call fact. Both
groups believe soaps are past their prime; that
producers are now pandering to young au-
diences while ignoring the quality which earned
them loyal followings.

“No matter how bad the scripts were, we
wanted to be respectable enough so we could
have our friends watch without them, or us, for
that matter, being embarassed,” says Leon
Russom, who starred as Jack Darling on All My
Children, as well as many other soaps. “They
used to, up to fivé or ten years ago, handle ma-
jor social issues. They handled them badly
perhaps, but they did handle them.”

As soon as an actor or character becomes too
old, he or she is unceremoniously banished
from a show. This occurs more and more often
as producers alter soaps to match demographics.
“All My Children was the first to have young
teeny bopper sex,” laments Russom. “It simply
struck a chord with the youthful viewers. We
had — note the past tense — had responsibly
covered sex, homosexuality, and rape. It was
good enough for our friends to see. Now we
have apprentice Yuppies watching Yuppie
television. We'd been concerned about the war,
about the discrepencies of money. We would
have been in the streets about AIDS back then.”

Russom claims soaps maintained the social
consciousness of the 1960's into the early seven-
ties. “For five years, from 1969 through 1973,
people were incredibly responsible. Four years
later, in 1977, I came back to soaps,” he recalls,
“and no one gave a shit. This was true of all the
soaps. All My Children lowered the age of
romantics. As soon as school lets out for the
year they fire the older actors and concentrate
on those fifteen to twenty-two. Obviously they
gear a lot to that audience. ABC started it and
NBC and CBS copied the idea. It went from
there.”

David Groh, perhaps soap's most despised
antagonist for his portrayal of Brock on the top-
rated General Hospital more than agrees.
“When I was just starting,” says Groh, “they
were looking for actors. Now there are pretty
people, sexy characters, hot types to attract the
younger viewers. Soaps used to be for spinsters
and the old-time housewives of the 1960's who
had, well, I hate to use the word, but they had
boring existences. They had their children, their
Ladies Home Journal, and no man at home. So
they stayed at home and watched television. It
meant a lot to them. It still does.”

“There's nothing informative. You can’t learn
from soaps,” says Groh, countering Russom’s
opinion that soaps tackle real issues. “It’s just not
reality. But it is emotionally satisfying to a lot of
people. You turn it on and you get romance, ac-
tion. In a way, the people who watch them live
vicariously through the characters.. People like

Pollack, who makes it a point to catch The
Guiding Light and All My Children, insists
Warlock is incorrect. “More guys at Ithaca go
home and watch General Hospital than girls do.
Thad one friend who worked his schedule so he
could watch,” she says, adding, “And he has a
VCR in his room which goes on in case he’s not
going to be there. All the guys, everybody wat-
ches them. They make people forget about
their. real life problems for a‘while. It’s easy to
follow the storyline. After two days you can
pick it up and get into it and know exactly
what's going on. I've watched them since I was
in fifth grade. If I come back from a class ag-
gravated, I turn on a soap and it'll change my
mood.”

Kim Moore, a junior at the University of
Maryland, videotapes Loving, All My
Children, One Life to Live , and General
Hospital, and plays them back at the end of the
week. “I started watching them when I was in
seventh grade, when I was home sick from
school. I've been hooked ever since,” she says.
“They’re a form of escape, a way of living out a
fantasy. I like the romantic aspect; there's
always something happening. Sometimes they
drag things out too long just to keep you wat-
ching the show. The Friday cliffhangers just
drive me crazy.”

Moore belives most people commit
themselves to soaps for a number of standard
reasons. “The characters are so involved and so
out of this world. Nothing in the soaps is
believable. But they give people an opportunity
to live out an experience, an alternate lifestyle
from their own,” she suggests. “A lot of the
most popular characters are rich; that could be a
key, I think. I know I like to watch what clothes
and jewelry a character is going to wear next.
Maybe other people get the same thing out of
it. Soaps are an escape. People need to escape
everyday realities.”

Kim Delaney used soaps as a stepping stone
to movies. She played the ever popular Jenny
on All My Children, a role for which she will
be long remembered. The young actress, who
recently starred in That Was Then This Is Now,
thinks soaps, in general, are taken too seriously.

“They make soaps today to catch you and
pull you in. They've brought ina lot of younger
characters recently to grab the teens and college
audience,” she says. “I think it’s just pure enter-
tainment. I don’t think there’s any heavy
messages. They try to do messages, and All My
Children was one that dealt with a lot of issues,
which is good. But I don’t think that’s why peo-
ple sit around watching soaps. It’s just entertain-
ment. If you identify with a character, that’s all
the better.”

Eddie Earl Hatch, Tucker Foster on As the
World Turns for three years, sees soaps as real
to those who watch them. Hatch takes soaps
seriously; he says “You get to look at the open-
ing up of someone else’s soul. We play on emo-
tion and acute human problems. You also get a
mirror reflection of emotions you don’t get
anywhere else. Audiences become part of that
emotion. Everyone on soaps is miserable, the
more miserable the better, and the more
popular.”

Lynette Liverani, who recently attended

David Groh é

Nassau Community College in New York, finds
soaps “interesting and intriguing. The storylines
are usually exciting, but sometimes very
unbelievable.” She compares them to reading a
book. “You want to know how it all ends,
hopefully happily. I do believe that soaps have
a responsibility of confronting real issues. As a
matter of fact, most of the soaps do cover every
day issues, but so far I haven't seen anything on
AIDS.”

As for the youth movement on soaps,
Liverani says, “I believe that the soaps are
geared to the younger audiences. I recently read
several editorials in Soap Opera Digest that

Children for ignoring the older characters and
mainly focusing on the younger ones. | agree
with Soap Opera Digest. The older characters
are the mainstays of the show. I follow the
stories of all the characters, regardless of age.”

So it seems soap operas are many things to
many people. The fans are the faithful, the
flock who gather ‘round the altar called the
television. For better or for worse, the actors
carry the burden of controlling the viewer's
emotions. All the while the producers spend
their time giving the people what they want, or
perhaps deciding it for them. oO

Rating relations

To The Editor;

In the Febuary 7 issue of the ASP, Rachel Braslow
reported on the poor rating given to SUNYA by Barry
Beckham, in his book, Black Student’s Guide to Colleges.
In this article, the issue arose whether the sample size was
adequate. The size of the sample, shouldn’t have been a
major consequence (granted a sample of ‘only nine or ten
students could lead to biased data) but I feel the
statements made by these students accurately express the
feelings of the almost 600 students who make up
SUNYA’s black community.

I felt a need to express this opinion because statements
in the article by officials of SUNYA downplayed the ac-
cusations made by the students. I got the impression that
these university officials felt the statements were inac-
curate. The fact remains that these nine students do feel
that something is very wrong and should be corrected.

University administration should examine its attitudes,
behaviors, and policies concerning blacks, and minorities
in general. SUNYA stands to lose many qualified black
students who, understandably base their decisions of col-
lege choice from college guide books.

Secondly, I’d like to address another part of the article,
which I felt again diminished the importance of what

Beckham’s students stated. This is in reference to universi-

ty varsity athletics. The absense of black players on
Albany’s teams is only surpassed by the absense of black
coaches. The lack of black coaches is evidence of the in-
difference of university athletics officials to the black stu-
dent athlete. During my past three years here, there have
been semesters where there were no black coaches on any
of the various teams. It is time for university athletic of-
ficials to also rexamine their policies. It is my opinion that
nothing would come of this, because the bottom line is
that SUNYA’s teams are enjoying general success. But
does a high winning percentage justify the barring of
qualified black coaches and players?

No discussion of university discrimination or insen-
sitivity would be complete without at least mentioning the
“resignation” of Vivian Gordon as head of the African
and Afro-American Studies Department, which occured
last March. This is yet another example of university in-

sensitivity towards its black students.

Black students were not the only ones to suffer, all
students lost when Ms. Gordon resigned. Ms. Gordon, as
stated in the March 22, 1985 editorial of the ASP has
“done a lot to improve the department reputation and
respectability around campus. She made the department
more visible and introduced... academic rigor.

The problem was the fact that Ms. Gordon taught from
an Afro-centric perspective, as opposed to a Euro-centric
perspective. This did not sit well with the university of-
ficials, who then requested her resignation.

The administration of SUNYA has to seriously ex-
amine the situation. Some officials stated that the survey
was not scientific in nature. Well, then we should have a
scientific one done. Groups or task force, involving
students, faculty, and administration, should be set up to
examine the problems and come up with practical

answers.

Making it clear

fo The Editor:

I’m at fault, I’m guilty, and I admit it. The letter I
submitted in to Asp (Feb, 7) was ambiguous and did not
do justice to the problem at hand. I’m going to clear the
air now by saving the satire for later and being blunt.

We are all aware of the lounge in front of the SA office
next to the moneymatic machines, It is the room with
four couches and two pool tables in the campus center.
My incentive for writing this is to alert you, my fellow
comrads, of the controversial conduct I have witnessed
several times in this lounge. You see, this is no ordinary
lounge, this lounge’s inhabitants are mostly of the
homosexual or lesbian tendency. It is, I repeat, a gay and
lesbian “‘pick-up”” lounge. How do I know? Why do I
care?

Well, playing pool in that lounge last week I glanced
upon two young maidens furiously swapping tongues, sit-
ting on each others lap, and being most sociable in the
lounge. Then, in wandered another lady who sat, ap-
parently, next to her girlfriend because five minutes later
both skipped out quite merrily. I tell you this, however
absurd it may sound, it is the truth; I observed another
girl strut in, sit down, talk with her girlfriend and reach

into her nocket and pul) out a rat.
A What? Yes, my friends, a rat! Diseased or not, it wet

her pants, they fondled it, and ten minutes later the
threesome, four if you include the rat, skipped out the
door. I don’t know where they went, but my sources tell
me it wasn’t the bookstore.

My wish is not to abolish ‘‘choice’’, for I’m indifferent
to that, but to suggest a code. A code I thought was
understood by everyone. In broad daylight DON‘T ex-
change tongues...exchange conversation. Respect others
feelings, morals, and habits and don’t flaunt yours when
the others are nearby. It’s called consideration, and I
haven’t seen it.

— Jahn Levin

Class act

To The Editor:

Undoubtedly, the performance of ‘Class Act’’, an all-
male reyue show, in the Campus Center Ballroom next
week will raise assorted protests, just as it did last year. I
would like to address a few of these presently. Someone
informed me that events such as “‘Class Act’’ reinforce
male dominance over women. First of all, if anyone ap-
pears in a dominant role in this case, it is the female
onlookers for whom the men are dancing! Someone may
nevertheless Protest that portrayal of males (or females)
in sexually ‘“‘exploitative’’ roles is psychologically
destructive in that it may promote violent, sexually-
oriented crimes. The psychological evidence on this is in-
conclusive. It can be argued just as eloquently that events
such as the aforementioned may actually work to release
sexual tension, and thus reduce such crimes.

Sexual dominance, however, is probably the secondary
issue here. Many who would object to an all-male revue
would probably do so on the grounds of morality. While
some may feel the event is immoral, the opinion is far
from unanimous; the fact that the event sold out last year
is evidence of this. Those who feel the event is immoral
are entitled to their opinion, but have no right whatsoever
to impose these views on anyone else. The assorted people
who will speak out against ‘‘Class Act’’ should (at least)
give those who may feel differently the freedom to make a
choice for themselves.

IQB Social Committee Chairmen

SA problem

To The Editor:

I am writing to express my disgust with certain
members of the Student Association. As a Quad Board
President 1 am angered by how little support Quad
Boards get from SA. For instance, Indian Quad Board
spent over 75 percent of its budget during the fall

semester in an effort to make income line, which we will,
and its budget was frozen. This freeze crippled Quad
Board at a critical point in the semester, the beginning.
Furthermore, the series of condescending lectures from
the Comptroller was unfortunate. Does he think we all ge
paid for this? This all occurred, it should be noted, right
after SA let IQB know that it was ‘‘the best run Quad
Board”’.

I would like to further point out that Indian Quad
Board’s rate of spending for the Fall 1985 Semester was
similar to that of previous years, but due to two severe
budget cutbacks in less than one year this amount of
money took up a greater percentage of that budget. These
cuts in Quad Board’s budgets, I would like to add, have
averaged $500.00 per year since the 1970’s! I have now
been told by the Budget Committee Chair that we are be-
ing cut yet again even though we are expected to de more
for Non-Alcoholic Programming. When I asked why this
was so, he curtly shrugged me off and implied that we
didn’t need the money anyway. These pre-formed
misconceptions do not give Quad Boards-Quad Residents
a chance,

When you wonder what happened to the weight rooms,
dark rooms, craft rooms and other recreational facilities
that Quad Boards used to run (and money for RA pro-
jects) you’ll know that there is no money for these essen-
tial aspects of non-alcoholic programming because SA
has cut off the money. As a matter of fact, when there is
no money for non-alcoholic programming anywhere and
we are all sitting around jerking-off, ask SA about
$50,000 for electrifying Camp Dippikill.

I just wish all SA officers and representatives would
follow the lead of Betty Ginzburg, Paco Duarte, Larry
Hartman, and others who spend more of their time trying
to make SA better for all of us instead of just more
miserable for some.

Donald Smirti

Trip to Moscow

I travelled to Moscow in January with the Empire State
Institute for the Performing Arts (ESIPA) on the cultural
exchange trip described in Mike Dermansky’s Feb 7th
Aspects article. As described below, certain of my impres-
sions differ form some of the impressions reported in the
article.

Two factors permitted me a more extensive and in-
depth view of Moscow than that experienced by most
others on the trip. First, I was not directly involved in the
theatrical production and therefore had much more free
time. Second, I spent a considerable amount of time with
some Soviet relatives, including many visits to their
apartment.

My overall impression was of a very open, friendly and
creative city. I travelled (often by myself) throughout
Moscow by subway, bus, taxi, and foot and was neyer
stopped, questioned or followed. My travels took me out-
side of typical tourist areas, fo example, to my relatives’
apartment on the outskirts of the city. I saw Soviet people
of all ages in many contexts - in parks (contrary to the
quote in Mike Dermansky’s article that one ‘‘never saw a
group of teenagers walking together in a park”’, I did see
this), in subways, on the streets, in museums, theaters,
supermarkets, coffee shops, bookstores, record stores,
pizza shops, department stores, etc.. Some of the people
seemed happy, some sad. Some appeared full of energy,
others looked tired. In short, there was all of the variety
one would expect in a busy city, except I did not see any
homeless people.

Except for the weather, which was grey and gloomy
most of the time, I did not experience Moscow as an
“‘ominous”’ or oppressive”’ place. Nor did I sense a scar-
city of consumer goods, although there is certainly less
variety than here. The Soviets I encountered appeared to
be clothed and fed quite well. Stores were filled, both
with products and with Soviets purchasing them.

Museums and theaters were also filled with Soviets of
all ages, were quite cheap (the Bolshoi Ballet cost about
$3.50), and showed tremendous innovation and creativi-
ty. Theatrical productions I saw included a modern ballet
with quite contemporary sounding music and a puppet-
show for adults complete with what can only be described
as puppet versions of rock-videos.

I was impressed by the friendliness and warmth of the
Soviets I met and by their deep concern for maintaining
peace between our countries. Soviets I met, including my
family, expressed both great pride in their country and a
recognition that numerous problems exist there. There
seemed to be no hesitation to speak of problems, but also
no contradiction between their pride and their com-
plaints. The pride stemmed from the many ac-
complishments of the Soviet people and from the fact
that mechanisms exist to gather input from citizens and to
respond to the need for change.

I encourage people to travel-to the Soviet Union, and to
do so with an open mind. Not only does peace depend on
our two countries learning ho to live together, but we can
learn some things from the Soviets. For example, isn’t it

worth learning more about a country with free health
care, no homeless or hungry people, and which treats all
children as a privileged class?

Remember Freddy at Capital Rep

Repertory’s Goodbye Freddy pro-

mises to be a touchingly realistic
play, as Kate (Jani Brenn) moves through
the living room, gathers a Kansas City
Royals baseball cap off a chair, Trivial Pur-
suit off the coffee table, two tennis rackets
from behind the couch, and high-top
sneakers off the floor — then stashes them
in the hall closet.

F rom the opening scene, Capitol

Loren Ginsberg

The quick clean-up is in preparation for
the reunion of a group of lifelong friends
after the death of Freddy, the first of the
group to die. In a letter written the year
before, Freddy has instructed his friends to
hold a post-funeral party as his last request.

Just as scenic designer Leslie Taylor
hasn’t overlooked the material details of a
contemporary family home, playwright
Elizabeth Diggs poignantly captures the
emotional details of contemporary adult
life in Goodbye Freddy. The script is ob-
viously well directed by producing direc-
tor Bruce Bouchard. The friends meet with
Dom Perignon, caviar, memories, secrets,

hat's this?” 1 asked, of no one in
particular.
“It's a book,” I observed, answer-

ing my own question. Sometimes it can be
tough to get a response from the people
who spend too much time in the ASP of-
fice, I think the fluorescent lighting has
brain damaged them.

Laurence Quinn

“1 am the books editor these days. I
wonder if I could review this?” I asked
myself,

The book was nice and new. It was lying
there, in the ASP office, on a couch which
was vomity and old. The cover of the book
read Think Fast, Mr. Moto. The words
‘Mr. Moto’ were’ spelled cut in bamboo,
which struck me as corny. I like corny. It
reminded me of the marquee from an In-
diana Jones flick. I like Indiana Jones.

There were only two other people in the
office, the ones I hadn't been talking to.
Neither of them were interested in Mr.
Moto. I took the book, left a message for
the Aspects Editor (I call her “Chief"), and
beat it.

Thave since read the book. I now know
that Mr. Moto is a character created by
novelist John P. Marquand in the 1930's.
Marquand wrote a series of Mr. Moto
novels which is being republished. Mr.
Moto is a Japanese super-spy, a James Bond
without a lot of gadgetry. But why, you
may ask, was an American writing stories
with a benevolent Japanese hero just prior
to WWII? I wish I knew.

I should warn the potential reader that
Mr. Moto has, in some ways, more in com-
mon with Charlie Chan than James Bond.
Moto is perpetually “very, very, sorry” for
one thing or another, or he is “so very,

and love.

Nessa, exhuberantly played by Kate Kel-
ly, is hesitant about beginning the celebra-
tion, She is an enormously entertaining
modern-day divorcee who has just publish-
ed a spicy romance and has modeled the
characters of the novel after her friends, in-
cluding her ex-husband, Andy (Richard
Zobel). When Nessa insists that, before
they pop the cork, the group must circle
around the coffee table and “Let it out” by
wailing and moaning their grief, the rest
try to humor her. But soon they break into
an Indian rain dance and subsequent
laughter.

The plot develops as a series of discus-
sions, arguments, and revelations between
the characters. The question of fidelity is

very, happy” that things work out “so
very, very nicely.” Like Chan, the man-

nerisms of the character are so
stereotypical that one has to keep in mind
that the character was created in a vastly
different time frame and that the character
is playing a game in which it pays to be

* underestimated.

Think Fast, Mr. Moto begins in
Shanghai with the introduction of Wilson
Hitchings, the youngest heir to the Hit-
chings Brothers banking firm. Young
Wilson personifies old Yankee virtues in
much the same was that Moto is an em-
bodiment of Japanese culture. Things are
fairly simple im this book, which may ex-
plain why it is making a comeback.

Wilson is a newcomer to the East and to
the family business, so it is not long before
he must prove his worth to his family’s
firm. He is sent by his uncle Will, patriarch
of the conservative Hitchings firm, to
Honolulu. There he must deal with a dis-
tant cousin whose use of the family name
in connection with a gambling house has
become an embarrassment. Naturally, the
distant cousin is young, smart, female, and
distant enough to allow for romance.

Mr.Moto surfaces, and all the elements
are there for a very entertaining story
which will, I think, keep most readers
guessing. It kept me guessing, but even if it
hadn’t it would have been worth reading
just to read lines like: “Snow, if you don’t
get my drift.”

debated throughout the play. Alice (Mary
Baird) and Paul (Larry Golden) are the only
faithfully married couple. This is primarily
due to Alice’s paranoid obsession with the
“sacred bond” of marriage and to Paul's
Jack of opportunity and courage to have an
affair.

Alice defends the inspiring nature ot
monogamy by declaring, “Rembrandt was
faithful for 42 years!” Her husband is quick
to respond, “That's why he painted
everything black.”

Tom Bloom sensitively portrays Hank,
Kate’s husband, whose anger and pain as
Freddy’s former friend and lover is central
to the plot. Janni Brenn is excellent in her
portrayal of Kate.

lan Spelling

The young comedienne’slash actress
slash singer earned her crown in Martin
Scorsese's 1983 film The King of Comedy,
starring opposite Robert DeNiro and Jerry
Lewis. She played Masha, a deranged
woman so enamored of a Johnny Carson-
type talk show host (Lewis) that she, with
DeNiro’s help, kidnapped him. The role,
which Bernhard performed with frighten-
ing realism, allowed her to explore other
forms of entertainment, _ particularly
singing.

Certainly, the name recognition meant
‘more pay and larger crowds in larger clubs.
But of more import, Bernhard could finally
give the people what she wanted, rather
than give the people what they wanted.
She maintains her popularity with frequent
appearances on Late Night with David Let-
terman and an occasional cable ‘television
special. Bernhard recently released a music
album and plans to incorporate some of the
songs into her Proctor’s act.

In a telephone interview, Bernhard
spoke in a barely audible whisper, a far cry
from her often brash stage persona. “I am

R oll out the red carpet! The Queen

From a brief description, Gcodbye Fred-
dy may seem surprisingly similar to the
1983 movie The Big Chill. But Elizabeth
Diggs wrote the play before the movie was
produced and, while both address the hard-
ships of maturity and change among a
group of friends, they approach the theme
differently. The characters in Goodbye
Freddy are older and further removed
from the flexibility and uncertainty of
youth. Freddy’s death brings about a reu-
nion in which they examine themselves
both as individuals and as members of a
group.

In the emotional setting of a post-funeral
party, the characters of Goodbye Freddy
raise serious questions about choices they
have made and the consequences of their
actions. The result is a well written, well
produced, and very well acted production.

Goodbye Freddy will be performed at
8pm Tuesdays through Sundays at-the
Market Theatre through March 9. Ticket
prices range from $10 to $16, and may be
sold to students for half price 30 minutes
before performances, if available. For
reservations or further information, call
Capital Repertory at 462-4534. ia

“T am bringing
more of myself to
my work lately.

That can be scary.”
—Sandra Bernhard

bringing more of myself to my work late-
ly. That can be scary,” she said, “but I think
it's necessary for my self development.”

Bernhard used to pick one person out of
the audience on whom she would prey.
She said she doesn’t plan to do that in her
new act. “I change my act quite often. I try
to keep it fresh,” she said. Rather, she will
rely on her satiric commentary, her various
characters, and singing to satisfy her
audience.

In a 1984 article concerning female com-
edians, Newsweek noted that Bernhard
prefers to “Surprise, startle, and arrest more
than she wants to please.” Bernhard
responds to that observation by saying her
ultimate goal is to please people. “They
won't pay to see me if I don’t please them,”
she said,

With her busy schedule, one has got to
wonder ‘Why Schenectady?’ “I do shows
all over the country. I'm sure there are
smart people in Schenectady,” Bernhard
said seriously. “I don’t do a tour that runs
six months, I do several series of five or six
shows. I don’t have the time to do long
tours. I'm doing too many things.”

Bernhard recently completed a new mo-
tion picture with fellow comedian Paul
Rodriguez, and plans to record a new
album, possibly a performance album. So
catch the Queen while she’s in town. All
tickets are $9. For information call

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1986 1] ALBANY STUDENT PRESS 13

Administrators urge students to get involved

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — More
than 100 college presidents met in
Washington last week to exhort
students to become less ‘‘self-
obsessed,’’ and get involved in
their communities.

The coalition of presidents sug-
gested making “‘civic responsibili-
ty” a graduation requirement,
and even replacing student aid
programs with grants for com-
munity service ‘work.

Some observers, including
students, predict collegians are in
fact too self-involved to respond
even to the spectacle of ad-
ministrators — who historically
fret student activism might inhibit
campus fund-raising and image-
building efforts — encouraging
political involvement.

Other educators worry a lack of
funding and of ‘“‘leverage’’ over
students will wreck the presidents’
hopes for more student activism.
“Tt’s one thing to change gradua-
tion requirements (to force
students to become involved),’’
said Leonard Gordon, an Arizona
State sociologist who studies
trends in student attitudes.
“Students will respond to that.
But if they have to depend on
voluntary response, they just
don’t have the leverage.”

The presidential coalition,
meeting in Washington last week,
pledged to:

— Carry the message of civic
responsibility to campuses.

— Advise existing student
orgainizations how to get students
involved in communities outside
campuses.

— Ask governments and

schools to provide more service-
related internships, possibly mak-
ing community service a require-
ment for financial aid.
“Students need to hear,
repeatedly and from many
sources, ‘you have a duty to pay
your dues,’’’ said Frank
Newman, head of the Education
Commision of the States and co-
founder of the Coalition of Col-
lege Presidents
responsibility.
“Students today, as compared
to students in the 1960’s, are more
self focused.and cynical. They see
problems ‘as big, complex, and
beyond their ability to do
anything about them,” he said.
Newman authored a report last
spring that criticized students for

being ‘‘self-obsessed’’ and
”*materialistic.”’
The report, in turn, led

Newman and some colleagues to
form the coalition to find ways to
divert students from their
“‘materialism.””

Newman would like to con-
vince students it’s intheirown best
interest to get involved, whether it
be stumping for a favorite can-
didate, ladling soup at a local
shelter, or counting ballots in a
school election.

Dr. Richard Rosser, president
of DePauw University in Indiana,
concurs.

“Community service probably
ought to be a requirement on
every campus in this country,”’ he
said. ‘*We have a responsibility to
prepare people to accept their
civic responsibility.””

To get them to accept it,

Newman suggested replacing ex-
isting loan programs with grants
for public-service work.
“Students who are piling up
loans are less willing to view
obligations to society,’’ said
Newman. ‘‘They say, ‘you talked
me into borrowingf $15,000 (to
pay for college). I’ve got to get
out and make that big money.’”’

But Robert Atwell, president of
the American Council on Educa-
tion, last week told the coalition
such grant programs would have
little chance of funding, given the
budget structures of the Gramm-
Rudman-Hollings Act.

“Students are more enmired
and enmeshed these days in their
own problems of getting. through

college and working part time,’’
ASU’s Gordon added.

Presidents, moreover, risk
polarizing their own campuses by
subsidizing — with credit or
grants — community work that
may be too liberal for campus
conservatives, or too conser-

‘-vative for campus liberals.

SUNY profs see Red

Four SUNY professors are spending this
semester at Moscow State University, as part of
an ongoing exchange between the United Stated
and the Soviet Union.

Aaron Bindman, a Sociology professor from
SUNY New Paltz; Julia Boken an English pro-
fessor from SUNY Oneonta; George Nugy a
Social Science professor from Hudson Valley
Community College and Alex Sientsky, a
Physical Education teacher from Sullivan Coun-
ty Community College are participating in the ex-
change program, which began in 1977.

While most of the professors will be primarily
involved in research, some will also be lecturing.
Alex Shane, SUNYA’s director of international
programs, said the program has been ‘‘quite suc-
cessful in that we’ve had so many people moving
back and forth.”

Over 100 graduate students and professors
have taken part in the program during the past
nine years.

Co-op plans cookbook

SUNYA’s food co-op is planning to publish a
cook book and is interested in recipes, artwork,
and other help from interested students, accor-
ding to Andrew Rothkopf, one of the co-op
managers.

The cook book will be “‘based upon what we

have in the store’ and will be vegetarian in
nature, said Rothkopf. Recipes for main dishes,
desserts, dressings, sauces, and salads are all
welcome, said Rothkopf, but he added “‘no red
meat”’ dishes.

Rothkopf said that poetry or essays from
students are welcome and will be included in the
cook book.

A meeting at the co-op on Wednesday night at

mine how to finance the cook book. A fundraiser

‘Statesman’ saved

The SUNY Stony Brook newspaper The
Statesman was saved from financial ruin when
students voted on a referendum to provide the
debt-ridden newspaper with $20,000 a year from
a special student fee.

The sudents voted ‘‘overwhelmingly’’ (85 per-
cent) to initiate the fee which would insure that
the newspaper not have to rely on the student
government or administration for funding and
protects its status as an independent publication,
The Statesman said.

According to The Statesman the fee ‘‘will
guarantee that we can return to our previous
publication schedule.”” The Statesman published
three times a week prior to financial problems
last semester that almost led to the collapse of the
publication.

Women tracksters compete at Cortland, Union

By Steven Silberglied

The Albany State women’s track team
took a 15 member contingent to compete
in the Cortland Invitational on Saturday,
and Wednesday night they ran in the
Union Women’s Invitational.

The Danes had many outstanding in-
dividual performances at Cortland. Seven
individuals made the SUNY qualifying
time. Three of these runners made the
state’s standard as well. As a team Albany
finished ninth of thirteen teams with 19
points. Syracuse won the meet with 131
points followed by host Cortland’s 111
and Rochester’s 66.

Sophomore Winsome Federingham
once again turned a standout perfor-
mance. Federingham, who has already
qualified for the nationals, finished second
in both the 55m dash and 55m hurdles.
Her times were 7.5 and 9.5, respectively.
She also anchored the fourth place 800
meter relay with a 26.6 200 meter split.
Head coach Ron White felt that Feder-
ingham fared well despite tough
competition.

“She was in a real top notch division ,””
said White. “‘It will be a good preview of
the field she’ Il be facing in the state cham-
pionship and the meets to come.””

Coach White felt that the 4x200 relay
was a key race for the team. ‘‘That had to
be the race that got the team going,”’ said
the coach. ‘‘To see Winsome come from so
far back and pass runners on the turns and
straight aways.’’

Bellantoni added another fourth place
finish in the pentathalon by compiling
2406 points. This qualified her for both the
states and the SUNYACs.

Freshman Mary Lou Webster finished
sixth in the 800m run. She also made the
state and SUNY standards by running
2:28. Her debut of the winter season im-
pressed White. He said “‘I think she’s got a
bright future in college track. She’s a

rookie to indoor track. It was a tremen-
dous performance to start out.”

Pam Robinson will be joining her at the
states and SUNYACS. This is after a 33’9’”
throw in the shotput. This is what White
considered ‘‘a really fine throw indoors for
her.’”

Four of the distance runners qualified
for the SUNYACs. Two in each the 3000
meter and 5000 meter. Kitty Sullivan and
Chris Varley ran times of 20:14 and 20:31
in the 5000. Lynn Jacobs and Rachael
Braslow qualified in the 3000 with times of
11:14 and 11:35,

On Wednesday at Union, Coach White
basically. concentrated on running only
those who hadn’t qualified for the states at

Cortland. Although he did not field a full
team, Albany finished third of seven teams
in the competition.

Williams won the meet with 118 Points
followed by Union’s 93 and the Danes’ 60.

Kitty Sullivan was the sole Albany run-
ner to qualify for the States. She reached
this goal by running a personal best in the
5000 meters, with a time of 14:42. This
placed her fourth overall,

Bellantoni, a freshman, won the high
jump by clearing 4’4‘. She was also fourth

in the 50 hurdles at 9.1.

Barrett ran the 400 meters in 1:07, which
placed her second. Robinson sprinted her
way to a second place in the 50 meter dash
with a time of 7.5.

Albany takes on Potsdam

“Back Page

“That game in Potsdam was within our
reach until three minutes to go,’’ said
Sauers. ‘‘My players feel we are capable of
beating them. and I feel we are. I’m not
convinced they are unbeatable.”

Potsdam has nine returners, including
four starters from last years 28-4 team that

made it to the NCAA finals.
Three starters for the Bears are from the

Capital District. 6°5’? junior forward
Brendon Mitchell is from Schenectady.
Joining him at the forwaed position is
Troy’s 6’5”” John Leonard. 6’2” guard
Troy Turner, a transfer from Siena is a
native of Albany. Also starting are
Roosevelt ‘Pony’ Bullock, a senior, and
center Barry Stanton, a junior.

“We know it’s going to be very hard,”
said Potsdam head coach Jerry Walsh on
Wednesday. ‘‘We have to play at our best
to win. They (Albany) are a very good
team.”” :

He continued, ‘‘In the last game in the
first half we were out of sync. We will try
to run our offense better for the entire
game this time.””

The Albany Potsdam series dates back

to the 1948-49 season, with the Danes
leading it 30-20. Under Sauer’s reign,
Albany leads 24-19.

During the 1980-81 season the two teams
met four times, twice in regular sesason
and twice in post season. That year the
Bears won three out of four of those
games, which went into five overtimes.

Since then the two teams have split the
series, each winning on the home court.
Last year Albany lost in Potsdam 75-65.
When the Bears came to Albany, the
Danes topped them, 63-57.

The Potsdam game always draws the
largest crowd to University Gym. Athletic
Director Dr. William Moore estimates last
years crowd at full capacity, which is 2400.
People were turned away. ‘‘ Last year the
Potsdam game was in the string of wins
needed for Dick Sauers to get his 500
wins,’’ pointed out Moore. ‘‘The
Potsdam-Albany rivalry is an extraor-
dinary one,” continued Moore. “I think
it’s as keen as any in all of Division III. I
don’t know of any greater one. It sure has
impressed me.””

Pam Robinson came close to breaking
the shotput school record. Her throw was
10.55 meters, which earned second place.
In her first year of indoor track Robinson
is now just .09 meters away from the
Tecord.

White noted freshman Mary Ellen
Carino’s performance after she placed
sixth in the 200, Carino teamed with
Patricia Gulacker, Geraldine Traynor, and
Barrett to finish third in the mile relay.

“T’m very pleased with the team as a
whole,” said White. He said he is anxious
to have the whole team run in the regular
season finale at Plattsburgh on Saturday.

Qo

Albany’s players are optimistic and
agree with their coach about Potsdam’s
apparent invincibility.

“T think they are beatable,”’ said senior
co-captain Doug Kilmer. ‘‘They’re
definitely a great team, but they aren’t
head and shoulders above us. They’re just
a better team.

Junior stater forward Tony Dickens felt
that if the Danes can cut down on the
mistakes from the first game they can win.

“They can be beat, believe me,”
Dickens added, “They area little bit over-
tated, but any time you get ex-Division I
ball players, of course you'll have a good
team. They are not invincible.””

The Albany-Potsdam game is 8:00 p.m.
following a Great Dane Alumni game star-
ting at 6:00 p.m. featuring 20 or 30 former
Bee The doors of the gym open at

30.

Dr. Moore suggested to fans of either
team to get there early to ensure they geta
seat. He expects Potsdam to bring 500-700
fans.

“Somebody’s got to get them sooner or
later,” said Sauers, “It might as well be

Albany women topple Colonials for 20th win

By Al Baker
STAFF WRITER

Head women’s basketball
coach Mari Warner describes her
team as the best group of girls she
has ever worked with. That’s not
surprising when you consider
their impressive winning streak,
which is now at 20 after their
78-66 win over Binghamton
Wednesday night.

This victory thrusts the team in-
to this weekend’s Capital District
Tournament, which they are
favored to win.

In a season that’s turned into
one big winning streak as Albany
has not lost a game since they
dropped their first two in
November, the cagers now have a
chance to win their fourth con-
secutive Capital District Tourna-
ment. They carry an 11-0 con-

ference record on their shoulders
while standing in the second place
spot - (behind Buffalo State) in
the State and their national rank-
ing has climbed to 17.

After a two and a half hour
bus-ride, Albany came out
against Binghamton with con-
trolled fury and caused the op-
Position to call a time out, two
minutes into the game. From that
point things changed very little as
Albany never trailed, and led by
as much as 21 points.

At the 7:08 mark in the first
half, Albany broke the game open
with a 13 point lead, only to build
it to a 17 point halftime margin.
Exploding into the final half the
Danes increased the margin of
victory to 21 at the 18:30 mark
with a score of 48-27.

Then, suddenly, Binghamton

struck back an cut the lead to nine
by scoring 12 unanswered baskets
and shutting Albany out for four
minutes. At 14:31 the score was
wittled to a 48-39 Dane lead.
Albany picked up and ran a
smooth game from then on in
raising the lead back to 19 and
eventually closed with a 12 point
victory.

The cagers shot 40 percent
from the floor and an impressive
76 percent from the line. As most
coaches will teach, foul shots are
a crucial part of basketball.
Against Binghamton they proved
vital as Albany scored 26 points
from the line while 18 of their se-
cond half total of 34 points came
from the free shot.

Donna Hughes led shooting on
9-11 from the line while Lori
Bayba and Kim Kosalek went 5-7

and 4-4, respectively.

Binghamton won the reboun-
ding battle pulling down 44 while
Albany hit the boards for 42.
Kosalek had 8, Jensen had 7 and
Bayba rounded out the reboun-
ding leaders with 6.

“Our number 4 players haven’t
always been rebounding well, but
to see them doing a good job,
especially Kim, is a good sign,”’
said Warner.

The cagers had some trouble
with turnovers, giving up eight in
the first half and 10 overall.

Defensively, Albany’s man-to-
man proved steady while the half-
court press allowed Binghamton
to penetrate. The cagers put
Binghamton to the line 14 times in
the second half where they cann-
ed 17 attempts. ‘‘This was distur-
bing in a way as we shouldn’t

have been fouling so much in-
side,’’ said Warner.

Hughes and Jensen led with 13
points apiece, while LaBombard
had 12 and Bayba scored 11. Jill
Hauser of Binghamton led her
team and all scorers with 16.
Dane guard Rainny Lesane miss-
ed the game while recovering
from a bad back, as did Jill
Silverman. Both are prepared for
this weekend.

Tonight the Danes face St.
Rose in the first round of the
Capital Districts. '

“None of these teams has as
much depth as we do, so we’re
going to capitalize on that,”’ said
Warner.

With 20 consecutive victories
under their belts, the Dane cagers
shouldn’t have much trouble. O1

Sheldon and Balog head wrestlers in top season

By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER

They fange in weight from’ 118-190
pounds, they hail from upstate,
downstate, and Rome, and they have bet-
ween them 10 years of intercollegiate
wrestling experience. This winter, they are
using the combination of their many
talents to lead one of the strongest Albany
State wrestling teams ever.

They are the captains of the Albany
State wrestling team: Shawn Sheldon.
John Balog, Jim Fox and Marty Pidel.
Three 1985 NCAA qualifers, and another
who almost was. Their combined seasonal
records of 62-5-3 have powered the Dane
grapplers to a final 17-2 seasonal record,
the winningest record ever posted by an
Albany State wrestling team, and among
their victories the Danes boast a 25-21
triumph over third-ranked St. Lawrence
University and a fourth-place finish in the
New York State Championships; a finish
which placed them ahead of all other
SUNYs, including top-ranked Brockport.

“Bach of the guys, Shawn, John, Jim
and Marty, have played their own separate
role on the team,”’ said Albany State head
coach Joe DeMeo. “‘They’ve gotten the
whole team to work together, to support
each other, and help keep everyone’s
spirits up. Trying to imagine the team
without the help of one of these guys
would be like trying to wash one hand
without the other.’”

The first of the four captains, 118 Ib.
Shawn Sheldon, has been a model of con-
sistency and near-perfection for the Danes
all season. Finishing the season with an
undefeated record of 19 wins against zero
losses, Sheldon had only two close mat-
ches, against Boston University’s John
Foley, who he defeated by a 7-5 decision,
and against Hunter College, where he won
the decision by a 3-2 score.

Though Sheldon has been overshadow-
ed by NCAA champions Dave Averill and
Andy Seras in the past, his seasonal
records of 12-4,.21-0, and now 19-0 give
him 52 career wins, a total high enough to
enable him to break Averill’s Albany State
record of 66 career wins should enough
matches be scheduled next season.

“Shawn is a great athlete, the greatest
athlete I’ve ever coached,’’ said DeMeo,
who has coached at Div I Stanford and
was a coach on the 1976 Olympic team.

Sheldon views his role as a team captain
as one giving him more authority and more
responsibility to get everyone organized
and working.

“ do a lot of hollering, telling guys on
the team to watch each other,” said
Sheldon. “‘When you’re wrestling, you
can’t see what you’re doing, but you can
watch other guys when you’re resting and
learn a lot.”

For the remainder of the season,
Sheldon’s .goals include defending his

"SUNYAC title and finished in the top

tdi e eat Ph EM NVC AA 5)

“7 don’t want to say anymore than
that,” said Sheldon, ‘I don’t want to
sound too cocky or anything. So much can
happen in this sport, it demands so much
more self control than other sports. You
can’t get away from it for one day because
you’re not only working on your techni-
que, you’re watching your weight.”

Weight-watching is an unpleasant side
of the sport Junior John Balog knows only
too well.

Balog was perhaps the hungriest 134 lb.
wrestler in the conference last season, and
though he did well enough to finish the
season with a 11-5-4 record, place third in
the SUNYACs, and just miss being named
All-American by one point, the season was
a constant struggle to keep his weight
down.

“Tt’s not so bad at the start of the se-
cond semester,” said Balog, who is a
graduate of Rome Free Academy, ‘‘But
consider studying for first. semester finals
plus wrestling, plus cutting. weight. It’s
horrible.”

This season, Balog wrestled all 19 mat-
ches at 142, compiled a 15-4 record, and is
a definite contender for the SUNYAC
title.

“Last year, I just missed All-American
by one point, so I can’t really knock last
season,” said Balog. ‘‘But I feel a lot
stronger this year, a lot of my work was
wasted last year because I was watching
my weight all the time.’’

after the 36-36 first half and built an early
six-point lead, but turnovers and missed
shots prevented a larger margin and enabl-
ed the Colonials to climb back into the
lead. 5

“¥ didn’t think we played with intensity,
but then, I’ve seen Binghamton play bet-
ter, too,” said Sauers. ‘‘The start of the se-
cond half was just criminal; we scored six
points, but it should have been ten right
off, at least.””

Binghamton was paced by sophomore
guard Mark Jones and Goldberg, who

combined for 44 points. Jones was in-

strumental to the Colonials’ offense by
scoring 23 himself and setting up his team-
Mates with 10 assists.

“He hurt us,” said Ursprung. “Brian
(Kauppila) and Mike (Cinque) were play-
ing real good D on him, but we weren’t
helping them out.’’

The Danes’ press did not pay dividends
until the decisive run, when the Colonial’s
nine-point lead awoke the slumbering
defense.

“We started pressing a little bit more at
that point, trying to get turnovers,” said

“the 61” Cinque. “We started. working

harder on defense.”
61” Dane forward Tony Dickens was

Junior John Balog

“John is the hardest working athlete
I’ve ever had on any team,’’ said DeMeo.
“He’s the most intense and always gives
close to 100 percent. I’ve never had an
atlilete willing to work that hard that con-
sistently; when John takes it easy he’s still
giving 90 percent. We’re talking about a
guy who sweats in a t-shirt.”

“You have to understand, there’s a lot
of pressure to do well at the end of the
season in this sport,’? explains Balog.
“This season is five months long, but it all
comes down to two days, the SUNYAC
tournament, and then the NCAAs. Those
two days determine whether or not your
season was successful or not.’”

Though Balog describes himself as a

SUNYAC’s leading rebounder, 6’6’’ Mike

but fouled out with four minutes left, hav-
ing hit only five of 14 shots from the field.

“He was tough, but he was missing a lot
of easy shots,’’ said Dickens. “It was a
boost for me when he fouled out, though,
because they were definitely go ing to try
to dump it to him near the end.” Dickens

St. Rose will be facing Albany State for

wrestler first at this point and a student se-
cond, the physics major/computer science
minor has a 3.4 GPA and sees a job as an
engineer in his future.

“I definitely want a job where I have to
think,’’ said Balog. ‘‘A job that has a lot
of autonomy, where I can work on a pro-
ject, see it through to the end, and have a
lot of input on it.”

As far as drawing tangents between

“‘ngineering and wrestling, Balog would

say that there is a connection, but then
again there is a connection between
everything if you want one to exist.

“Sure, you could say that both physics
and wrestling require you to think, but I
don’t believe there’s really any similarities
between the two,”’ said Balog. ‘‘Physics to
me is fun, it’s challenging and it all makes
sense if you keep on top of it. Wrestling? I
don’t know why I do it sometimes, I don’t
always enjoy it. But if I weren’t wrestling,
I would have to do something.’’

On his goals for the remainder of the
season, Balog would like to qualify for the
NCAA tournament.

“It could be so easy, just place in the top
three at SUNYACs and win two matches
at the NCAAs to be All-American. So
easy, but so hard.”?

And after the season?

“Yl still work out slightly. It'll be a lot
less structured, though,” said Balog. ‘‘It’ll
be strictly for pleasure.’” oO
Watch for the other two captains in an up-
coming feature.

Colonials.

Mracek and Cinque were co-high scorers
with 15 apiece, ‘and Cinque had eight
assists. His team-high total is now 173.

The Danes must now gear up for Satur-
day’s match-up against the 23-0 Bears,
who beat Albany in Potsdam on Jan. 25.

“Potsdam is beatable,”’ is Sauers’ mot-
to. ‘‘It’s going to happen sooner or later,
and I’d rather it was sooner.’’

A confident Teague was even more em-
phatic. ‘‘We will win, definitely. We will
win.”” 0

said “I think we need a miracle to win it.”
adding that, ‘‘Albany State is very strong.
RPI is very strong. St. Rose is getting up
there. Albany State will dominate.”

Though Union improved from a 4-14
struggling team a year ago, to a respectable
8-8 record this season, they are just at a
disadvantage.

Albany State, 42-6 over the past two
seasons, has blown out opponents by an
average margin of victory of 22.4 points in
this season. They are heavily favored to
win an unpredecented fourth champion- »
ship. Under Warners’ tutelage, they have
been in the finals every season, losing only
in her first year. 3 oO

With 6:30 to play and the Great
Danes trailing Binghamton,
Wednesday night, 64-55, an
Albany State victory seemed a
mile away.

But the Danes responded by
breaking that mile in a time even
Sebastian Coe would be proud of.
ripping off a 17-0 burst in three
minutes and 42 seconds to go
ahead, 72-64, with 2:45 left to
play. The Colonials would only
get within four points of the lead
before the final buzzer, which
sounded a 79-75 Albany State
victory.

The game was a must-win for
the Danes, who now must beat
undefeated Potsdam Saturday

4} and New Paltz Tuesday to ensure

a coin-flip between Albany and
Potsdam for the top seed in the
upcoming SUNYAC playoffs.
The prospect of a coin-flip heaps
even more significance on Satur-
day’s game, which features a
rivalry that hardly needs playoff
ramifications to create intensity.
The Danes used their stifling
press and the resulting fast breaks
to blow the game open. The com-
eback started with forward Brian
Kauppila’s three-point play and
Adam Ursprung’s driving lay-up
to cut the Binghamton lead to

Danes look to upset Welsh’s
undefeated Potsdam Bears

By Kristine Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR

The Albany State Great Danes, at 16-6 overall, will take their se-
cond crack at disrupting Division III’s top- ranked Potsdam Bears
and their undefeated 23-0 record on Saturday night.

Aside from the fierce arch-rivalry betwen the two teams, Satur-
day’s game has important SUNYAC significance, A victory by the-
Bears, who are 10-0 in the SUNYAC East, ensures them first place
in the conference, If the 9-1 Danes could hand the current first-
place team a loss, they would once again tie Potsdam as co-
champions in the East, as they did last year. a coin flip would
decide the topseed for the SUNYAC’s next weekend.

“If we could get the top seed in the East that would mean we
would have to play the champs on their homecourt in the first

round next week,’’ said Albany head coach Dick Sauers.

For the Danes it isn’t an easy task, but it’s still one they relish.
Since falling to the Bears, 69-51, on Jan. 25 at Maxcy Hall in
Potsdam, Albany has awaited this chance for revenge.

After trailing by two points, 30-28, at half time in the first en-
counter, the Danes still held on in the final half with 7:43 to go, the
Bears led by only four points, 48-44. Potsdam broke out by
outscoring the Danes, 21-7, for the remainder of the game. 11 of
those points were consecutive and brought the Bears to a 69-48
lead.

Dane women cagers favored in Capital District

By Brian Feinblum
STAFF WRITER
Any team on a 20 game winning spree is intimidating to
an opponent. And that’s exactly what the unstoppable
Albany State women’s basketball team is,

All of the coaches, whose teams will be competing in
this weekends Seventh Annual Capital District Tourna-
ment, agree that Albany is the team to beat.

The tournament will be played in RPI’s Robinson
Gym, home of the Engineers. Three time defending
champion Albany State will square off with St. Rose at
6:00 pm on Friday and RPI will group against Union at
8:00 pm. The winners of each will play in the champion-
ship game at 3:00 pm Saturday following the consolation

“We're peaking right now, which is essential when
entering tournament play”’ said RPI’s head coach Carol
Stiff. The first year coach has guided her team to a 12-4
mark, winning seven of their last eight. ‘‘I feel very
confident.”

RPI stands to be the biggest threat to Albany State
though they lost to Albany by twenty points in January.
RPI beat St. Rose last year in the opening round and then
fell to Albany State in the finals, losing by five. ‘‘We gave
them a run for the money” said Stiff.

“We have good size’’ said Lauria Handler, a player for
RPI. “You need a well-balanced team. There is no
animosity on this team.’’

RPI defeated both Union College and St. Rose within
the past two weeks.

Senior guard Mary Lou Murrock leads the Engineers in
scoring, averaging 15.8 points per game. The team cap=-
tain has over 1000 career points and has set an all time
RPI scoring mark for one season. She also leads the team
in assists.

Junior center foward Terese Swatt ranks in the top ten

in Division II] nationally for rebounding averaging 13.9
per game and is the second leading scorer on the team,
with a 15.1 ppg average. She leads the team in blocked
shots and her 33 steals rank second on the squad.

RPI captured its only title in 1982, defeating Albany
State, 60-55.

Albany State, who defeated Union, 82-62, and RPI,
57-52 in last year’s tournament to take its third straight
title, will be led by two-time tournament MVP, Rainny
Lesane.

Lesane leads the team in field-goals-made and percen-
tage, free throws made and points averaging 13.8 per
game. She is one of three team captains, joining fellow
seniors, Diane Fernandes and Debra Logan.

Under coach Mari Warner, the Danes of Albany State
are 71-22, boasting a 20 game winning streak in this, her
fifth season at the helm.

Warner said ‘Every year the records are thrown out.
Emotions play a part in it. A big part’’. Warner promises
her team to be emotionally up for the tournament. This is
a stepping stone to the SUNYAC tournament February
22-23.

Warner speaks confidently of her team, not planning
any surprises for the upcoming tournaments. ‘‘You go
with what’s successful during the year,”’ said the coach.
“We have many strengths.””

Acknowledging the team’s weaknesses, she said “We
need work on fastbreaking, but the other teams should
stop our running game. A lot of teams are aftaid to press
us.””

Pam Quinlan, player representative of St. Rose said
when asked of what separates her team from the others,
“about three miles.’? But the distance goes beyond that.

::We don’t have a real quick guard and that hurts us.
We get beat on lay ups,”’ said the St. Rose’s coach, Kathy
