NYPIRG battles solid waste

By T.E. Kane
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

The nation’s overflowing
garbage problem is largely
caused by packaging waste, yet
industry and government are
doing little to ease the crisis,
according to New York Public
Interest Group (NYPIRG).

In the last two decades, the
amount of disposable products
have doubled, and packing
containers account for more
than one-third of the country’s
60 million tons of garbage
dumped in a year, he reported.

NYPIRG is urging consumers
to use the nation’s first ever
call-in campaign against
disposable products. They are
also asking consumers to call in
to companies who make
disposable packages to protest
against America’s “throw away”
culture.

“As America approaches the
20th Anniversary of Earth Day,
government’s neglect and
industries’ wasteful ways are
continuing to straddle the nation
with an out of control garbage
crisis,” Steven Romananski,
author and researcher of
NYPIRG’s toxic waste report,
said.

The report said companies
that produce items, which are
difficult or impossible to
recycle, designed to throw away
after one or two uses, and
capable of causing serious
environmental .or health
problems, are not attempting to
seek alternative packaging
methods.

The packaging industry is
“spending more money than
ever to add to the overflowing
amount of package waste and
unnecessary disposables,” the

report said.

Many products are designed
with promotion and advertising
in mind, not with environmental
problems that they cause. These
designs are often more bulky
than they have to be, or are made
of materials that might make
them look better, but harm the
environment, the report said.

The report named several
products that (NYPIRG) urges
consumers to call on the
manufacturers’ hotlines to force
their removal from supermarket
shelves.

These included the Kodak
Fling camera, plastic bottles,
microwave cooking trays,
polystyrene foam packages,
disposable diapers, and Aunt
Jemima’s Pancake Express.

The report also calls on
consumers to support local
legislation that aims to promote

Jim Lukaszewski UPS

A variety of household Items can be classified as “solid waste,”

waste reduction, expand local,
state and nation wide recycling
efforts and attempts to ban the
construction of incinerators.
Also, NYPIRG urges individual
consumers to adopt their own
waste reduction habits at home

in everyday life.

In New York state, a bill to
curb the use of packages is
introduced in the assembly, but
intense lobbying pressure from
manufacturers kills the
legislation.

The hunt for a new university
president has moved into the second
stageof the five step search process.

The first step, which has been
completed, was the development of the
criteria for the candidates by the 21
member advisory council. Council
members include three undergraduate
students, one graduate student, one
alumnus, five members of the University
Council, and several members of the
faculty and university staff.

Also included in the advisory council
is the entire nine member screening
panel. The panel, which consists of three
University Council members and six
members of the faculty, is currently

the screening panel is to eliminate a few
of the candidates before sending a
revised list back to the advisory council.

The advisory council would then
complete phase three, completing a list
of finalists to be presented to the
University Council.

The University Council is required to
complete the fourth stage, selecting a
new president from the list of finalists.
Their recommendation will then be sent
to SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce
Johnstone, who completes the search
process by confirming the University
Council’s nominee.

Ina meeting with student leaders last
night, Shawn Thompson, a member of
University Council, and one of the
students serving on the screening panel,
spoke about the progress of the search.

Thompson said that in looking at the
candidates, the University Council will
be looking for someone who has an
administrative background, with
experience in the academic field. He
also said that the president would have to
be someone who could leverage

outstanding graduate studies and research
programs with a strong undergraduate
program.

Thompson indicated that outgoing
president Vincent O’Leary had done an
outstanding job, including a lot of good
work that very few people were aware of.

“We're looking for someone like
Vince O’Leary, but that’s going to be
very hard to do,” Thompson said.

At the present time, much of the
information that has already been
gathered by the University Council and
the two presedential search sub-
committees must remain classified. The
reason given for this is that not all of the
candidates for the position have made it
publicly known that they are being
considered, and do not wish to divulge
that information yet.

Thompson said that as the search
progresses, more information will be
available. He said he anticipates that
once the finalists are invited to come to
the campus for interviews, their identities
will become public knowledge.

Thompson was not however able to
indicate when the process will reach that
stage.

Students meet Albany residents
to discuss rowdiness problems

By Morgan Lyle
SENIOR EDITOR

The newly-formed Task Force on
University and Community Relations met
yesterday to define the causes of strained
relations between off-campus students
and Albany residents, and to propose
solutions to the problem.

Vice President for Student Affairs
Mitchel Livingston, who chairs the 15
member group of SUNYA officials,
students, Albany residents, and city
representatives, described the meeting as
“heated.” He said the tadk force came up
with some 40 suggestions, and predicted
that about 20 would survive final approval
and be included in the group’s report to
President Vincent O’Leary in two or three
weeks,

The task force was formed in
November in response to what Albany
police have called a sharply higher
number of calls from Albany residents.
The complaints include damage to
property, people urinating in yards, and
arguing loudly in the street late at night.

Albany police chief John Dale said in
November that “This year is the worst
T’ve ever seen” for complaints from angry
neighbors.

O’Leary created the task force at the
Tequest of Mayor Thomas P. Whalen III,
who called student parties “a constant
source of irritation.”

Police and buildings department
officials have said that their concern is not
only for the peace and quiet of the
neighborhoods, but for the safety of
partygoers. They say the size of the
crowds - some parties draw as many as
500 guests - is dangerous in old, two-story
homes, and cite as an example the
collapse of a front porch on Ryckman St
in the summer of 1988. Ten people were
hurt in the collapse.

Livingston said restrictions on alcohol
consumption on campus may drive
students into the Pine Hills neighborhood

in search of parties. Under policies
prompted by new state laws, students
found to be in possession of alcohol in
their dorm rooms face disciplinary
action.

He also said the lack of venues for
fraternity parties may contribute to the
number of house parties. Adam
Tuckman, president of the Inter-
Fraternity Council, agreed, saying that
while membership in Greek
organizations is rising quickly, the
number of places to hold functions is
dwindling. Halls such as the Labor
Temple and the Veterans of Foreign Wars
have either closed or become reluctant to
house parties, he said.

“Tt wasn’t so much that (hall owners)
didn’t care for us. They just wanted to
stop having alcohol events at night, with
someone always having to be there,”
Tuckman said.

Local newspaper reports have
described some houses as fraternity
houses. But none of the homes are
owned by fraternities; they may be rented
by several members of a fraternity, but
neither the fraternities nor the IFC have
the authority to tell them what to do or
not do, Tuckman said.

He said the creation of a “fraternity
row” at the uptown campus would help

Probe is launched

Japan
(AP) Japan’s first lunar probe was out into
orbit around the Earth on Wednesday,
ending a 14-year gap between moon
missions and giving new prestige to the
country’s young space program.

Space center officials said the Muses-A.
satellite, as planned, separated from its
Nissan-made rocket several minutes after
liftoff Wednesday night from an
oceanside launch site in southern Japan.

Mission chief Hiroki Matsuo said data
from tracking stations in California and
Australia showed the satellite was
orbiting the Earth at a maximum distance
of 186,000 miles.

The satellite in its highly elliptical orbit
is to close within 11,250 miles of the
moon by March 18.

Fate is undecided

Geneva, Switzerland
(AP) A 30-nation conference on
Vietnamese boat people broke up in
disarray Wednesday after U.S. and
Vietnamese delegates balked at a
compromised starting date for forced
deportation to Vietnam of those denied
refugee status.

The United States last week dropped its
outright opposition to mandatory
repatriation of Vietnamese held to be
economic migrants. But it told the closed,
U.N.-sponsored meeting the proposed
July 1 before Jan. 1, 1991, officials said.

Britain wanted deportations to begin at
once before the sailing season starts in
March to actor a further influx of boat
people into the overflowing camps in
Hong Kong, a British Crown Colony.

The Office of the U.N. High
Commissioner For Refugees (UNHCR)
had tried to bridge the gap by suggesting a

six-month delay in the repatriation
process.

The future of tens of thousands of
Vietnamese boat people is at stake.

Clewiston, Florida
(AP) A van carrying farm workers ran off
a foggy rural road and slid into a canal
today, drowning 10 people and injuring
two, authorities said.

The driver and a front-seat passenger
crawled out of the submerged van through
windows. But the others were trapped in
the vehicle, which ran off the road at a
curve six miles from this farm community,
said sheriff’s Lt. Bill Chamness.

“We think it was probably due to the
dense fog,” Chamness said.

The survivors, both men, were taken to

Cuomo is criticized

Albany
(AP) Gov. Mario Cuomo, under fire at
home for seeking to block a scheduled
State income tax cut, this week endorsed
Sen. Daniel Patrick Monyihan’s proposal
to reduce federal Social Security payroll
taxes,

Some New York Republicans see a
connection, especially given the fact that
Democrat Cuomo has also called for
raising other state taxes and fees by more
that $1 billion as part of his proposed
$51.3 billion state budget.

“Here at home, his approach is a
negative one. He would take money out

reductions on the other,” said Eugene
Tyksinski, the chief fiscal adviser to the

“If he’s negative at home, he needed
something positive to say and I guess the
Monyihan proposal fit that requirement,”
added the state Senate’s top fiscal guru.

Drugs hurt kids

Albany
(AP) New York state’s overburdened
foster care system is in danger of
becoming another casualty of the war on
drugs as more and more parents say “yes”
to substance abuse, social service
department officials say.

“The number of children being placed
in foster care statewide is going up
dramatically,” apparently powered by the
state’s growing drug problem, said Terry
McGrath, spokesman for the state
Department of Social Services.

The number of children in foster care
has increased by nearly 24,000 since
1987. There were 54,417 foster children in
New York state as of Oct. 30, 1989.

The drastic increases of the past few
years. have put a strain on the foster care
system, which until the latter part of the
1980s, had little trouble meeting the
demand for foster homes.

The number of children in the system at
the end of 1986 was 27,700 a manageable
increase of 400 over the 1985 figure,
McGrath said.

Greek rush begins

The Inter-Fraternity Council is hosting
Rush for students interested in joining a
Greek fraternity. Events sponsored by
individual fraternities begin today and

the various Greek organizations before
they pledge.

General interest tables were set up by
IFC fraternities on Monday and Tuesday
in the lecture center, and Wednesday
night in the Campus Center ballroom.
The fraternities offered brochures and
other materials to interested students.

Senate committee proposes legislation
Link between community service and financial aid discussed

By P.J. Marcus
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

When President Bush spoke of his
“Thousand Points of Light” program, he
started a new trend in politics, one that
emphasizes community service work.
More than ever, people are asking what
can be done to help those less fortunate
than ourselves.

At the same time that the emphasis on
community service is peaking, there are
growing concems over the values that are
being instilled in our nation’s youth,
according to an article recently published
in the Democrat and Chronicle
(Rochester), written by Senator Ken
LaValle of Suffolk, the chairperson of the
Senate Committee. on Higher Education.
Some policy makers are trying to come
up with ways to link these two concerns
and come up with programs to provide
solutions to both problems at once.

Certain legislators, first on the national
level, and now on the state level, feel that
mandating community service work for
the young people in our society would
kill two birds with one stone. While
community service efforts are being
made, the people providing these services
would learn the value of hard work, and
gain a new appreciation for what they
have, LaValle said.

In New York, members of the state
senate are getting ideas together for a bill
that would make community service
work a requirement for all students
seeking financial aid. LaValle discussed
the possibilities of such a bill.

LaValle said that he found the concerns
about a lack of values in our youth to be
at least partially unfounded. While
gathering information from various
college campuses across the state, the
committee saw a large student volunteer
effort on all fronts. Discussing a visit to
Fordham University, LaValle said, “I
visited Fordham to meet with students
who are involved in tutoring troubled
youths, and came away impressed with

how excited they are about being
involved.”

The study also showed that there are
already programs in existence, such as the
one at SUNY Brockport, where students
are receiving credit for work with social
service agencies, schools, and
government agencies, as well as adult
literacy and migrant education programs.

LaValle said that ideas currently under
discussion include dedicating part of the
state’s share of funding for the College
Work-Study program to reimburse
students who choose a community service
“job”, setting up a loan forgiveness
program for a period of service following
graduation, allowing students in junior or
senior high school to earn credits which
would be “cashed in” for aid when they
are preparing to go to college, or graduate
fellowships for those who do community
service after their college graduations.

LaValle said that although there is not a
bill yet, these ideas have received more

The presidential task force assigned
to look into the prospect of going into
Division I athletics has made its
recommendation, and is in favor to
move.

“We submitted our report
recommending the move to (President
Vincent O’Leary) right before
Christmas,” William Holstein,
chairperson of the committee said. “We
looked at a number of things in making
the decision.”

The task force was set up in May by
O’Leary. They met on three or four
occasions before rendering their
decision.

The recommendation will now go
through the university governmental
process, according to Holstein.

criticism than support. Early grumblings
from the state assembly indicate that a bill
of this nature would not pass. Many
members of the assembly do not want to
make it harder for students from lower
income families to obtain the funding that
they need to receive in order to pursue an
education.

Along slightly different lines is a
program that is being run by the State
Probation Department. That department
currently is running a program in
conjunction with their youth counseling
bureau that offers people in their late
teens an alternative when they are charged
with minor infractions of the law, such as
traffic violations. In this program, teens
agree to do a set number of community
service hours. In return, they do not get
slapped with a conviction and/or possible
fines. The number of hours of community
service is proportional to the degree of the
infraction, and is also affected by the
willingness of the person involved to
cooperate.

“The decision will take a lot of
discussion among the branches...
everyone and his dog will touch this
thing,” Holstein said.

“Tt was a pretty unanimous decision,”
added Holstein,”there were some
dissenting views among the
committee.”

Holstein, along with athletic director
William Moore and former Vice
President for University Affairs Lew
Welch visited SUNY Buffalo this past
summer, Buffalo has recently made the
move up to Division II, and hopes to
eventually achieve Division I status.

“They were very helpful at Buffalo,”
Holstein said, “They took us on a tour
of their facilities.” According to
Holstein, the 20-30 page report
detailing the recommendation is in the
hands of O’Leary at he present time.

Date rape information
bill reaches Senate floor

By Catherine Hoey
STAFF WRITER

The Lavalle 498-B bill, dealing with the issue of
acquaintance rape, has once again come before the NY State
Senate in the 1989-90 regular session.

This bill, if passed, would require all NY State colleges to
inform incoming freshman of state and campus laws regarding
sex offenses, and provide information on the nature and the
circumstances relating to sex offenses of their campus.

Each campus will also be required to form an advisory
committee to review the campus security and educational
policies, and report their results to the college president each
year.

In the past, there has been some controversy over the bill.
Certain sections of the legislation explicitly detailed the
formation of the committees. Universities were limited to
certain numbers of people and particular groups had to be
represented. These regulations were limiting and in some
schools impossible. Colleges felt these laws were unnecessary
and infringing on the rights of the universities. Mark Lawton,
president of Commission on Independent colleges and
Universities, said, “problems can’t be solved by writing out the
details of daily activities.”

‘The issue first came to light after a Lehigh student was raped
and murdered on campus. The parents of the victim filed a suit
against the university because they felt Lehigh had not taken

| adequate steps in dealing with the incident and informing other
parents of how violent the campus was.

The idea of this kind of legislation has been widely accepted
by universities. “It is absolutely necessary to call legislative
attention,” said Mitchell Livingston, vice president for Student
Affairs.

Val Fahey, resource coordinator of Middle Earth at SUNYA
said, “The national figures on acquaintance rape are one in
five. SUNY is with the national average.”

“Acquaintance rape often involves freshman, and usually
rapes occur during the first few weeks of school,” Fahey said.

“If the state does pass the legislation, we’re equipped to do
it,” Livingston said. “Albany is a fairly progressive campus,”
Livingston said with regard to the issue of acquaintance rape.
SUNY has 25 programs on campus that deal with the crime of
acquaintance rape. Only 300 schools of the 3,500 in the
country report every crime each year. SUNY Albany is one of
them. There is also in service training available. “If someone
were to call Middle Earth for help, they would get aid right
away,” Fahey said.

A videotape, Violence in Relationships, made by the
SUNYA president’s committee on women’s safety, approaches

@ the issue. This videotape is sold to other schools who wish to
implement programs.

Punishments for sex offenders still vary

By Carol Bradley
and Diana L. Tomb

Arthur Shawcross served 15
years for raping and strangling
an 8-year-old girl, only to
launch a new odyssey of terror
upon his release. Now he is
accused of killing 11 women,
many of them prostitutes, in
Rochester, N.Y.

Society long has wrestled with
how to punish sex offenders.
Many experts still argue no cure
is in sight. But with offenses up
more than 50 percent in the past
decade — from 67,400 in 1980
to 106,300 in 1988 — others
insist there are ways to treat sex
offenders, even if results are
mixed.

“Sex offenders are amenable
to treatment, usually by a
combination of techniques,”
maintains Dr. Reuben Lang,
consultant psychologist at
Canada’s Alberta Hospital in
Edmonton.

In the United States,
communities battle for answers.

Lawmakers in Washington
state, frustrated over a recent
series of sex-related crimes, are
calling for violent offenders to
be castrated.

Sex offenders in Tennessee are
being denied parole because
therapists are unwilling to
certify, as required by law, that
an offender is unlikely to repeat
the crime.

In Greensburg, Pa., this week,
sex offender Samuel Powell, 42,
was sentenced to 30 to 60 years
in prison — and the judge
stipulated he will have to submit
to chemical castration to be
eligible for early release.

Some experts argue that, with
no guaranteed cure in sight,
violent sex offenders should not
be set free,

“There’s no known treatment
for the sexual, sadistic killer,”
said John Cochran, Oregon’s

senior forensic psychologist.
“We have an obligation to the
Test of society ... to not let them
out.”

But others say sex offenders
can be targeted, possibly even
stopped.

Pioneering work by Dr. John
Money, director of the
Psychohormonal Research Unit
at the Johns Hopkins School of
Medicine in Baltimore, suggests
children who witness or are
victims of abnormal sexual
behavior develop “paraphilias”
— sexual distortions — that
later surface.

Money and other researchers
are experimenting with
progestins, synthetic forms of
the hormone progesterone
designed to block the male sex
hormone.

Dorothy Otnow Lewis,
professor of psychology at New
York University School of
Medicine, contends would-be
sex offenders could be treated if
identified at very young ages.

Many such children “have had
the kind of accidents or injuries
that impair impulse control and
judgment,” she said. Many also
were reared by a mentally ill
parent and experienced strong
feelings of paranoia.

“Among kids coming through
the juvenile court system,” she
said, “you can really distinguish
those who in likelihood will go
‘on to commit violent acts.”

Meantime, most sex-offender
treatment programs rely on more
time-honored techniques. At
Alberta Hospital, participants
enroll in intensive therapy,
undergo lessons on controlling
anger and are trained in social
skills.

Other clinics depend heavily
on Depo-Provera, a synthetic
hormone commonly used to
induce “chemical castration.”

But Lang said part of the

problem is that treatment,
regardless of form, stands little
chance unless offenders
acknowledge guilt. Many refuse
to do so,

Most violent sex offenders are
identified as needing help only
after they already are behind
bars, where little or no emphasis
is placed on therapy. Worse,
alleged offenders often plead
guilty to lesser crimes, masking
the sexual nature of their
misdeeds.

Shawcross, of Watertown,
N.Y., was charged with
manslaughter in the early 1970s
for allegedly raping and
strangling an 8-year-old.
Prosecutors apparently struck a
deal: in exchange for the lesser
charge, he led them to a second
body, a 10-year-old boy.

Shawceross has pleaded
innocent in 10 of the Rochester
deaths. Police suspect him in the
11th killing, but, again, no sex-
related charges are involved.

By the time violent sex
offenders reach adulthood they
often can mask their dark sides,
experts say.

Effects of budget cuts debated

By T.E. Kane
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

SUNY officials said Tuesday the
proposed spending reductions by Gov.
Mario Cuomo will have minimal effect on
the university.

But student leaders said the budget
limits the mission of the university.

Gov. Mario Cuomo recommended to
the state legislature that a $12 million
spending cut be implemented in the
upcoming years budget which begins
April 1.

The cost saving measures initiated by
Cuomo will not take place in core
programs and enrollment, but in
Workstudy tuition waivers for graduate
students, Educational Opportunity
Programs and child care programs. His
budget also called for improved tuition
retrieval methods, and better cash
management efficiency.

The state universities budget request,
given to Cuomo last October, already
included “management actions” totalling
$8 million, with about $6 million of those
actions actually revenue raising
administrative fees, These fees have yet to
be implemented by officials.

The belt tightening measures by
Cuomo, and the “management actions” by
SUNY are on top of nearly $40 million in
cuts enacted by Cuomo and state
lawmakers for the current year budget.

SUNY officials admit the downsizing
of the university has put continued
pressure on SUNY administrators to meet
the demands of curriculum diversity, and
the increasing numbers of students who
are applying to the university.

“T don’t see this budget as ruining
anything or dampening any enrollment
plans for the upcoming year,” SUNY
Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone said.

“The budget is a major thrust against
the students,” Judy Krebs, President of the
Student Association of the State
University, said.

Johnstone said the ability of SUNY to

remain competitive by maintaining access
to a wide range of students will be
augmented by Cuomo’s $3.8 million
lump sum “funded” enrollment for
additional 1150 students.

Access and programs will be hurt by
major cuts in Work/Study, the lack of
available tuition waivers for Graduate
students, reductions in funding for EOP
students, Krebs said.

Johnstone also commended Cuomo for
his continued support of Liberty
scholarships, the Graduate Research
initiative, the Minority Fellowship
Program, which increases core programs
and accessibility.

“It’s a tight budget,” Johnstone said,
“But it’s good considering the state’s
fiscal situation.”

Krebs agreed with Johnstone by saying
this budget overall is probably one the
best from the governor.

The state’s budget officials have been
grappling with a predicted deficit of $1.5
billion or more that has arisen due to a
sluggish economy and subsequent drop in
revenue receipts from sales and real estate
taxes.

Cuomo’s budget plans to shore up the
deficit by deferring the slated personnel
income cut for one year, raising some
taxes, and by cutting spending in
government agencies.

In his SUNY budget, Cuomo also.
agreed with university officials to
implement a system wide parking fee that
would garner an additional $4 million
revenue for the university.

State university Board of Trustees
approved the creation of such a plan on
Tuesday, but due to flexibility legislation
which gives each campus strong budget
autonomy, the’ measure has been rejected
by most campuses.

Many campuses have said the
implementation of the plan would cost as
much if not more to put in place than
would receive in revenue, according to

SA programming declines
Lack of interest cited as one factor

UPS

Student Association programming directors Nicole Michaelson and Danny Peltz

By Laura Dooley
STAFF WRITER

Student Association has many plans for this semester on their calendar.

Danny Peltz, co-programming coordinator, said that while there seemed to be
fewer events they are larger in scope. He cited lack of interest as a contributing factor
in this decline, as was the case this year with the cancellation of Winterfest. Other
factors he said may include non-alcoholic events as well as a lack of tradition behind
the event.

Between Jan. 29 and Feb. 23 SA will be working with Students Against Hunger in
America in two manners. Cans will be collected from SUNY students which in tum
will be given to the homeless. Secondly, Campbell’s soup products will be collected
at SA and Record world. If the products are deposited at Record world each
participant will receive a dollar or two off their purchase at the store. All the food
donated will then be given to a selected food pantry in the Albany area. The Reid
Group, out of Chicago, is also co-sponsoring this event.

In February, SA plans to celebrate Black History Month with a week of speakers
and films as well as a luncheon. Sexuality Week and Differently Abled Week also
highlight the month. Returning to the Ratt on February on Feb. 21 is College

National college enrollment increases for 10th straight year

(CPS) — Thanks to record numbers of
community college and part-time students,
national enrollment apparently has risen
again.

For the 10th straight year, nationwide
college enrollment has defied predictions
of a decline, and has emerged from the
1980s — a decade which was supposed to
see a precipitous drop in the numbers of
college students and bring on the closure
of some 200 campuses — higher than
ever, two new student censuses show.

“It’s fascinating that higher education is
at an all-time high this year,” observed
Elaine El-Khawas of the American
Council on Education (ACE), which found
in a survey of 17 states that campus
populations grew 1 percent to 4 percent
over last year’s,

“Those who were were cautious (in their
predictions) are surprised,” she said.

While the final nationwide head count
won’t be out until February, ACE’s
numbers indicate that as many as 12.5
million students may be attending classes
on the country’s campuses this year,

The U.S. Dept. of Education, the federal
agency that administers most federal
college programs and that keeps the
official count of the student population,
last summer predicted about 12.2 million

students would enroll this year, a 1
percent growth over 1988-89.

Two-year and community colleges
seem to be enjoying the biggest boom.

About 5.5 million students are taking
community college classes, an increase of
5.7 percent over last year, the American
Association of Community and Junior
Colleges (AACIC), a Washington, D.C.-
based group says.

Different kinds of students, moreover,
are registering at the two- year schools,
observers agree.

James Palmer of the Center for
Community College Education, which is
based at George Mason University in
Virginia, said that where the colleges’
growth during the 1980s was driven by an
influx of older, part-time students, this
year more high school grads are enrolling
to attend classes full-time.

Many of the new two-year college
students ordinarily would have chosen to
go to four-year colleges.

AACIC President Dale Parnell agreed.
“We are hearing from our colleges that an
increasing number of high school
graduates are enrolling in community,
technical and junior colleges.”

Some of the increases are huge. At
Pellissippe State Community College in

Tennessee, the number of students has
skyrocketed by 44 percent, to 4,702
students, in just one year. Delgado
Community College in Louisiana reports a
record 24 percent enrollment jump.

Yet such growth can cause problems for
students. “We're pushed to the limit,” said
Blaine Nisson, student services director at
Linn-Benton Community College in
Oregon. “We’ve had a lot of problems
serving students.”

LBCC’s enrollment has grown by 20
percent during the past two years, Nisson
reports.

Four-year campus enrollment also rose
this year, though not as significantly, the
ACE discovered.

Boise State University’s enrollment, for
example, jumped by 7.1 percent to 12,586
students. The University of Arizona also
reported a large enrollment increase — up
5.5 percent or 35,647 — from the 1988-
1989 school year.

The growth caps a decade of steady
growth that, according to demographers’
predictions since the mid-seventies, was
supposed to be decade of crisis in
American higher education.

Citing the decrease in the number of
people who would turn 18-years-old

during the eighties, observers forecast
nationwide enrollment would plummet,
leaving dorms and classrooms nearly
empty and hundreds of small, private
four-year colleges too broke to stay open.

In late December, however, the College
Board, a New York-based education
association, found that undergraduate
enrollment actually increased 8 percent
between 1980 and 1988.

“Colleges have managed to sustain
considerable increases in their overall
undergraduate enrollment despite only a
slight increase of 0.5 percent in overall
freshman enrollment,” said Jean Marzone
of the College Board.

Marzone said the reason was that more
part-time students registered during the
decade. In her report, “Summary:
Statistics: Annual Survey of Colleges
1989-1990,” she noted that nationwide
enrollment barely would have changed
since 1980 without the influx of part-
timers.

Full-time enrollment grew by only 1.8
percent, but part-time enrollment jumped
17.3 percent, the report says.

ACE’s El-Khawas added that a greater
percentage of high school seniors opted to
go to colleges instead of entering the job
market after graduation.

Salerno faces Senate confirmation hearing

By D.X.Barton
NYS STUDENT LEADER

Fred Salerno, Governor Cuomo’s
pick to chair the SUNY Trustees,
was short on specifics during his
confirmation hearing before the
Senate Higher Education
Committee last week.

Salerno told Committee
Kenneth LaValle (R, Port
Jefferson) that he didn’t want to
sound like he didn’t have the
answers to very specific
questions.

He also acknowledged that he
does not yet “fully understand”
the SUNY system. While he
admitted that the university
“can’t move forward without

on

having a very clear set of goals,”
he admitted that one of those
goals should be an “effort to
strive for excellence” while being
able to “offer this quality
education to as many of our
citizens as we can.”

Lawmakers pressed him for
answers on improving SUNY
management, possible tuition
increases, turning four-year arts
and sciences colleges into “mini-
university centers,” and elevating
SUNY’s athletics programs into
more competitive domains.

In response to the tuition
increase question, Salerno told
LaValle that he couldn’t provide
a final answer, but that he would,
as a last resort after making all

the savings moves he could,
consider a tuition hike.

Salerno said he would rather
raise tuition than close schools.

“If the vision of SUNY
includes keeping all campuses
open, I would consider
increasing tuition,” Salerno said.

Salerno wants to strengthen
SUNY’s link with the business
community, forming more
“bridge programs” like the ones
in place with American Express

and New York Telephone.

“I don’t think the business
community is doing enough,”
Salerno said, and the Board of
Trustees “should encourage
those types of ventures.”

If confirmed by the Senate,
Salerno, age 45, will succeed
Donald Blinken as board
chairman of the world’s largest
public university system.
Blinken served nearly a decade
on the Trustees. He said he was

“honored by Governor Cuomo’s

his term would end in 1996.
SASU President Judith Krebs,
the student trustee, said she liked
Salerno, calling the hearing the
“start of a good dialogue.”
Salerno has been president and
CEO of New York Telephone
since 1987, and recently served
as chairman of the Temporary
State Commission on the
Distribution of School Aid.

Net Worth

The price of a book, be it gingerly
stamped inside the cover, or printed on
a yellow tag in open view to the
consumer, is a number that represents
the amount of currency one is to
exchange for that book. So be it notes
issued by our federal government as
legal tender for the debt that one places
oneself in for removing the book from
the possession of the bookstore, or the
ever faithful “it’s plastic and not real
money anyway,” routine, that book
costs something quantifiable.

That money goes to the retail store in
order to pay cashiers, rent, other
operation costs in addition to the actual
wholesale cost of the book. Money
goes to people that ship the books.
Publishers need money to hire editors,
graphic designers, and production
staff. Printing cost money too. Go and
find out how much ink is used and the
price of that ink. Staggering to
comprehend when one considers the
omissions in this article for the sake of
brevity.

Yet how much is this book worth to
you?

Here we venture into a region that is
somewhat less quantifiable. That is
largely up to the person who bought
the book. Is it going to be read in time
for an exam or research paper due
date? Twice or more? Will it be sold
back at the end of the semester or
given to a friend for use next term? Or,
like the books that we treasure the
most, held onto in a personal library to
be read and reread for personal
fulfillment. These gems are lent out to
only very special people and even then
with reservations.

But do these words have any impact
or really change anything. Some
authors books shape profound changes
in the world around us. There is some
debate as to how much a science
fiction work written by H.G. Wells
about a nuclear war led to the actual
development of such devices by people
some years later. Talk about the power
of a book. :

We are no longer speaking of words
printed on a page, but of the very ideas
that they were meant to express. Once
these ideas are brought to the minds of
others, the role of that printed word as
a vector has been completed, and it is
you, that makes that book worth
anything more than the paper it is
written on.

COLUM

"Glory" is not found in war, but in love

T avoid seeing movies about war. I don’t want to watch
people shoot each other, or see them die in agony as parts
of their bodies are slashed in combat.

There is no glory in war.

But if you believe in the triumph of love, and want to
see how people can overcome the misery of battle by
shining in their humanity, see the movie “Glory.”

This is the story of the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts
Volunteer Infantry, the first black fighting unit raised in
the North in the Civil War, and their young white
commanding officer, Col. Robert Gould Shaw. It is a
story of camaraderie between black and white men who
challenged racism in the midst of war.

At its heart, it is a love story.

‘Wars do not just happen. They are created for reasons
that go beyond political lines of difference. Wars occur
when those who are wracked in fear choose to risk
destroying their world-rather than acknowledging their
own terror.

And what are they afraid of? They're scared that they
SCS 4 EL AE ER CIR SG

a ee ne ee eee
won't have enough — enough land, enough money,

enough respect, enough whatever. So they label it a
cause and go to war.

Today, in the Soviet Union, Azerbaijanis. and
Armenians are fighting a civil war. The Moslem
Azerbaijanis see the region as their traditional homeland,
and the Christian Armenians see the struggle as a way to
retain their culture.

Why can’t they co-exist in peace? They could, if they
stopped insisting that one side has to win and another has
to lose. It’s time we acknowledged that we live in one
world, and we are linked as human beings. If one person
loses, we all lose — something.

The futility of battle is graphically obvious in “Glory”
as we watch soldiers march in lock-step, simultaneously
line up several feet apart, and shoot point blank at every
body they can hit before the bullets run out.

Approximately 700,000 Americans died during the
four years of the Civil War. During the 16 years of the
Vietnam War, approximately 58,000 Americans died.
Death is much more personal by bayonet than by hand
grenade. But no less fatal.

In our own lives, we daily face conflicts that put us in

opposition to others. When that happens, we have the ,

opportunity to erect walls, or build bridges.
Whether the situation is a political hassle at the office,
or an argument

with a friend, the way we look at the other’s position is
really a reflection of how we view ourselves.

Last week, a misunderstanding arose with someone
involved in a volunteer project I work with. The person,
who felt excluded from the project, blamed me and said
some very hurtful things.

I was stunned at the verbal attack, and went to someone
who has taught me much for advice. As I sat, crying in
her office, she said, “If we talk in physical terms,
someone just took a punch at you. But the punch doesn’t
have to land. And you don’t have to punch back.”

Her words reminded me that it was I who was taking
‘on someone else’s hurt. And you can’t resolve conflicts if
you’re stuck in the muck yourself. So I chose not to take
the attack personally, but to see it as a moment of fear in
another’s mind that would only disappear if I did not
reinforce it.

I made a conciliatory gesture, and haven’t received a
response yet. But whatever happens, what’s important to
me is not acting out of fear. For in all things, we either
want the problem, or we want the solution. And solutions
come when we see others with love.

I recently kidded a new member of our staff about
something and said, “But that’s all right. We love you
anyway.”

He said, “How can you love me? You don’t even know
me.”

Somehow, we must get away from the idea that love is
conditional. We don’t have to do anything, or be anyone
other than ourselves, to be worthy of love and
acceptance. And we don’t have to know someone for a
long time before seeing them with eyes of love.

In “Glory,” one of my favorite characters is the slave
Trip, played by Denzel Washington. Trip is a man who is
a racist because of the racism governing his life. He is
eager to fight in the Civil War, to kill whites, as much as
to free blacks. He is a loner whose pain has set him apart
from his own race — until he finds the 54th Regiment,
which becomes his family.

As Trip learns that not all whites are racist, and that
there is no shame in being born black, he no longer sees
the world through eyes of hate.

For him, and for us all, the glory of life is found in
love.

Into the heart of things with
the Mighty Lemon Drops

L aughter. Lots of it. Speaking with
the Mighty Lemon Drops is like
hanging out with a bunch of old
schoolmates (Paul and Dave actually
are) - they all goad each other on,
make jibes at the current Top 40 crew,
drink beers, and just hang out and
laugh a lot. Sure, the Mighty Lemon
Drops are a good lot.

And they’ve plenty good reason to
be in high spirits, anyway. Their new
LP, appropriately titled laughter, is
arguably their best yet - an energetic
Tave-up consisting of perhaps the best
guitar pop all year, the kind you'd kill
to hear on top 40.

Raymond Rogers

The day of this interview, a
blistering August afternoon in
Brighton on the South coast of
England, the Mighty Lemon Drops are
in especially high spirits, just having
learned the show’s, been sold out for
months. They’re here supporting the
first single off laughter, “Into The
Heart of Love,” a two-and-a-half
minute charm of mainstream, sonic
guitar take-offs. A handsome, hardy
hit for sure.

The club we're in right now, the
under-the-pavillion Zap club right
along the beach, with its dark,
concrete curves reminds them of Bath,
where they recorded laughter at Peter
Gabriel’s studio. Guitarist and
songwriter David Newton explains
why the album sounds so naturally
urgent. “A lot of it’s live. We captured
the bass and drums, and even some of
the guitars straight down, ya know,
live. The single, “Into the Heart of
Love,” there’s no overdubs on it; it’s a
lead and rhythm guitar, bass, drums,
and vocals. There’s no keyboards on
that one. It’s weird that that was the
one everyone went for as a single,
because it’s the most direct, straight-
forward song on the album.”

It’s also the best (keep in mind
there’s not one bad or even average
song on this record). Things are much
more upbeat this time around, and
that is a concerted effort on the band’s
part according to the guys, who
recently dropped bassist Tony Linehan
and quickly replaced him with Marcus
Williams from Julian Cope’s band.

“It just got to the stage where it
wasn’t working with him (Tony); he
didn’t want to tour to the extent that
the rest of the band did, so we just had
to ask him to leave. And it was better,
because we've gone totally our own
way now, because he was a

songwriter as well. The direction he
wanted to go in was not one the rest of
the band wanted to go in. Towards the
end he didn’t want to go anywhere,
especially on tour. He was too dictated
to by influences, whereas we always
wanted to be - which is what we are -
is like a touring rock band. Not to the
extent of Guns and Roses, not like
that, but in that way. He never saw the
band as that. He always saw it more as

on the Lemon Drops’ soaring
melodies. From the turbulent thrill-
ride of “Rollercoaster,” to the dreamy
anxiety of “After Midnight,” or the
juvenated pop of “The Heartbreak
Thing,” from laughter, The Lemon
Drops take you to the absolutely
joyous, neurotic time when you were
about sixteen and needed to bash your
head through a wall or something. The

"You've got those little Brach's lemon

first encore of the set, I heard like
'Chkuh,' and they went all over the

an underground thing. He’d look
down his nose if we'd sort of go into
it or rocked out on stage,” according
to Newton.

Good riddance, then, Tony, The
Lemon Drops brought their black
leather and tees to these shores where
they blasted the Ritz last Saturday
with two hours of non-stop guitar
gusto. Paul Marsh sings with clarity
and steady emotion, and drummer
Keith Rowley with Williams on bass
pummel the songs with a steadfast
beat. As evidenced by the mesh of

Mighty Lemon Drops are a great
release. Rock out, indeed.

Things weren't so much of a shock
for them this time, as when they first
landed State-side. “It’s weird because

Brach’s lemon drops. People threw
boxfuls; after the first encore of the set,
Theard like ‘Chkuh,’ and they went all
over the drums,” Rowley says. “It’s
horrible,’ but they were really going
‘no, you're great,’” Newton laughs.
“You'd come out after the gig was over
and everyone had left the club, and

there'd be all these little yellow things.
We were like ‘what the hell is this?!!’”
Brachs, apparently , is one hundred
per cent American.

The Lemon Drops * last record,
World Without End, saw itself atop
college radio charts here in the US,
jolting even college radio staples like
the Talking Heads out of the top spot,
and their popularity is even quicker
on the rise with the release of laughter.

The new record sees the Lemon
Drops in a very accessible mode,
though they say that wasn’t their aim.
“ think the new album is actually a lot
harder than the last one, it’s a bit like
the first one (Happy Head ). The new
one is a lot less polished than the last
one, it’s a lot more mature, more
paced. The first album was very
flashy, and the second one was a bit
more mature, but we used a lot of
overdubs in the studio to get that. But
with this one we'd arranged the songs
really well before we went into the
studio. And with Marcus coming into
the band there’s a lot more thought
about what goes into it.

“We got the whole sound down

before we got into the studio and we
just totally got it together, the whole
album sounds like it. It sounds more
like one album as well, because Tony’s
songs were a lot different to the ones I
was writing. The last album - his
songs sound a lot different to what
mine did," whereas now I write most
of the songs, and that’s the sound of
the band; it sounds like one album. I
suppose even though it’s harder it
could be considered more accessible,
but we didn’t actually set out to do
that,” Newton says.

The Mighty Lemon Drops have,
however, certainly evolved from that
more bratty, sinister crew of the c86
days when their single “Happy
Head” was a premier single on
England’s New Musical Express’ 1986
Compilation record. They describe
that “big break” as a mixed blessing.

“It was a break, but by the end of the
day.it was a bit of a curse, a noose
around the neck, because we still get
questions about it now. There was a lot
of bands that saw themselves as part
of that scene, and we weren’t one of
them. Now we've sort of gotten where
we wanted to be, a lot of those bands
didn’t want to push themselves, or
sort of ‘prostitute their art’, they just
wanted to keep it small. A lot of those
bands aren’t even around anymore.
We're like the dinosaurs of the c86, “
Newton says laughing. Classic rock
never sounded so good.

Confessions of a Piano Man

The words of Billy Joel have made a

lasting impression on the way in
which we veiw many of life’s
complexities. His music has provided
both sharp criticism and social
awareness. After one of his most recent
performances, I had the rare
opportunity to conduct a candid
interview.

Adam Rowe

Q: How are you Billy?
Joel: Things are O.K. with me these
days

Got a good job, got a good office

Got a new wife, got a new life

And the family is fine.
Q: That’s good to hear Billy, but I
understand that life wasn’t always as
glamorous for you as it is now. You
didn’t begin your career playing
Madison Square Garden or the Nassau
Coliseum. What was the feverish
world of the bar circuit like?
Joel: There would be pretty good
crowds on a Saturday

And the manager would give me
asmile

Because he knew it was me,
they'd be coming to see

To forget about life for awhile
Q: How did the people react to your
music?
Joel: They'd sit at the bar

And put bread in my jar

And say, “Man what are you
doing here?”
Q: Well, you didn’t stay there very
long. Your endurance helped carry you
through the rough periods until you
achieved success. What is your
attitude towards stardom?
Joel: Today Iam your champion

Imay have won your hearts

But I know the game

You'll forget my name

If I don’t stay on the charts
Q: Those are difficult standards to
uphold. How do you handle all that

pressure?
Joel: You have to learn to pace
yourself

You're just like everybody else
Q: That’s an interesting philosophy.
But it is common knowledge that you
once considered suicide while
struggling earlier in your career. How
did you manage to change your views
on ending it all?
Joel: Just like a boxer ina title fight

You gotta’ walk in that ring all
alone

I’m not the only one whose
made mistakes

But they’re the only things I can
truly call my own.
Q: Your views on relationships have
been accurately depicted in your
music. A divorce from your first wife
had left its mark on your thinking.
What do you feel is the most important
ingredient in a successful relationship?
Joel: Honesty.

It’s such a lonely
Everyone is so untrue.

word.

After all, it’s always been a-

matter of trust.
Q: Essentially, you stress a strong sense
of communication between two
people. What do you recommend for
someone in love?
Joel: Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she
means.
Q: Moving from love to politics, you're
consistently able to splice a little
history into your work. How would
you describe life during Cold War
America?
Joel: I was born in ‘49
A Cold War kid in McCarthy

Stop them at the 38th parallel
Blast those little Reds to hell
Cold War kids were hard to kill
Under their desks in an air raid
drill
Haven’t they heard we won the

What do they keep on fighting

for?
Q: What about the U.S. blue-collar
steel workers of post-WWII
Joel: Every child had a pretty good
shot

To get at least as far as old man
got

But something happened on the
way to that place

They threw an American flag in
his face
Q: With the recent trouble in Panama,
we're hoping that we don’t see another
Vietnam. How did you feel about
sending our soldiers over in such an
unncessary conflict?
Joel: They had no cameras

To shoot the landscape

They’s pass the hash pipe

And play their Doors tapes

And who was wrong? Who was
right?

It didn’t matter in the thick of
the fight
Q: With the passing of another decade,
how would you sum up the 1980’s?
Joel: Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride

Heavy Metal, Suicide

Foreign debts, Homeless vets

AIDS, crack, Bernie Goetz

Hyperdermics on the shore

Q: Well, there’s no need to worry. The

would a typical day in the 50’s be like

Joel: I’d take a fresh pack of Lucky’s

The Song Remains the Same

I saw the Hooters this past weekend
at Saratoga Winners and a few months
ago I saw Bad English there, too. The
Hooters I like a lot. Of all the shows
I’ve seen of theirs, I’ve never been
disappointed. They’re fun.

Stef McDonald

I don’t like Bad English. And after
writing an unfavorable review of their
show, someone suggested that I was
the only one that left the club without
a smile on my face. Actually I left
laughing at how horrible I thought
they were. Sure they played their
instruments all right and they even
played in tune. But in their rather
lengthy performance, not an original
idea was expressed. It was cliche hell:
That's the price of love. I feel the heat for
you. Things can only get better, Baby
don’t give up on me and you,.. It’s as bad
as english gets, but just as worse was
that even their guitar solos were
cliched.

But Bad English is not alone. A look

at a recent survey of hit songs: With
every beat of my heart, opposites attract, If
I could turn back time.... Bon Jovi's
catalogue alone is an indicator of the
(ab)use of cliches with such titles as
“Living on a Prayer” and “T'll Be There
For You,” proving that rock cliches are
as American as apple pie. Looking for
a song without a cliche is like looking

for a needle in a haystack. Well, you
get the point.

Cliches have always been a pet
peeve of mine. They piss me off. Why?
Because they offend me. Cliches are
tried, tested and sometimes even true.
A rose is a rose is a rose anyway you
look at it. But a cliche is not by any
means creative. A cliche is a crutch.

Cliches undermine originality and
ingenuity. They’re predictable (love is
like...a rose, my love for you...will never
die) and they’re easy, in the same way
that plagiarizing a term paper is easier
than writing one. Verbal regurgitation
is by nature easier than creating.

Of course, cliches can exist in style
as well as in content. A band like
Kingdom Come (or Kingdom Clone, as
they’ve been called) is one that has
marketed itself on cliches of execution
and expression. Unfortunately, they
found success.

So I walked out of the club
following the Hooters show (with a
smile on my face, I might add), I found
myself trying to defend them to
myself. Day by day? Don’t knock it til
you try it? You never know who your
friends are?

At least their sound isn’t cliche, I
reasoned. At least they take a stab at
originality (how many bands out there
use a “hooter”?). They make no
attempts at pretention, but they rely on

cliches. And still that upsets me.

I would like to mention two incidents that made me
very upset.

For three years, I lived on-campus. Then this year, I
moved off-campus. Early last semester, I asked an R.A.
in Alden if I could watch T.V. and she said it was O.K.

Then early this semester, I went to Dutch Quad to the
fourth floor to watch T.V. I was in the middle of a show
when an R.A. came in and asked if I had an ID. She then

asked if I lived there. I said, “No.” She then asked me to
leave. I left. A few minutes later, I went to the Campus
Center. I missed the rest of my show because the T.V.
was occupied. I called the Dutch Quad Office and
ultimately got a director. I told him what happened and
he said that she did it probably because she was
frightened because she didn’t recognize me as a part of
the community. He knew that I was upset and made sure
I was O.K. before hanging up. I was so upset by the way
I was treated at the Dutch Tower that I cried. Later that
night, I spoke to a director down in Brubacher about
what happened. She comforted me and said that it was
O.K. for me to watch in Alden and to tell her if I got
hassled about it.

Four days later, on Jan. 16, an R.A. attempted to kick
me out of Alden while watching T.V. I told her to talk to
the director that I had talked to on Friday night. She
spoke to the director of Alden who said it was O.K.

I can understand them wanting to protect the dorms
from strangers but I feel very hurt by the way off-campus
students are being treated. Does moving off mean that
you aren’t welcome anymore? Are we just half $.U.N.Y.
students?

He who laughs last...

To the Editor:

After having written myriads of letters to the editor
during my three years of Student Government
involvement I now find myself compelled to write
something very painful; A letter of thanks to the very
ungracious Student Association that I was at one point
highly devoted to.

Last semester SA Programming brought the game
show “Remote Control” to the campus for a contestant
search. Although this show is extremely popular among
college students; not even half of LC18 was filled with
game show hopefuls. Whether this was due to a typical
lack of enthusiasm on the part of the snoring student
population or a combination of both, I’m not really sure.
Regardless, I somehow heard about the event and
attended despite no longer being a SUNYA student.

For the opportunity to be on this show I am extremely
grateful and I would now like to thank the Student
Association for the trip to Aruba that I won. I could not
have done it without them. Thank you SA and I promise:
that this favorite SA Punching bag. will send a postcard
while sunning in the sand.

Campus invaded again?

To the Editor:

Once again they were back. Unheeded went my calls
for justice and sensitivity towards my people and our
history. Yes my friends here they are, fresh from their
Christmas tour of Panama, bayonets still dripping with
the blood of innocent Panamanian lives, the U.S.
military, specifically the United States Marine Corps,
was back on campus in the never-ending quest for fresh
meat to stuff their body bags with.

I sat back quietly for the remainder of the fall semester
and read amusing attempts of several mis-informed
military personnel to criticize my arguments. It was
finally the time for your humble narrator of The Uncle
Sam Horror Picture Show to respond.

One of the main parts of my argument in my “Yankee
Go Home” letter (ASP, Oct.27 1989) was highlighted
immensely by the Panama invasion. Once again the U.S.
military rampaged through a sovereign republic of Latin
America on a Salem-like witch hunt for the puppet who
had cut his strings, (Manuel Antonio Noriega was taught
everything he knew, drug-smuggling and political
repression tactics included, by the grand puppet-master
himself, namely the C.LA. and the U.S. military).

Yet another important point of my argument was also
carried out quite efficiently by the Pentagon’s troops.
That was the horrific war crimes committed against the
people of Panama. Not only was the Pentagon using
experimental weapons such as the stealth bomber on the
citizens of Panama to I¢vel working class neighborhoods
(populated primarily by African-Panamanians) but they

have also been accused of digging mass graves and ~

burning bodies to prevent an accurate fatality count (all
this leads me to believe the total count is much higher
than 7,000). While 23 Americans were robbed of the

precious gift of life by an egomaniac president out of
control, it disturbed me to notice that a disproportionate
amount of these young men were Latinos and African-
Americans, Was it done on purpose? Do you have to
even ask?

Once again, I will state that the purpose of this letter is
to educate my brothers and sisters as to the injustices
committed against our people in OUR countries by
foreign aggressors. Once again, I will call upon the
administration of SUNY at Albany to show a bit more
sensitivity towards the loss all Latinos feel when our
brothers and sisters are murdered by the foreign
occupying forces. The U.S. military must not be allowed
to return to this campus again.

In closing, I would like to extend to my Panamanian
brothers here on campus, the Latino Security Council’s
and my own personal, deep condolences in this, your
moment of grief.

the meeting voiced what they
perceived to be valid student
concerns.

Steve Rhoads, the Central
Council Vice-Chair, said he had
heard that there was some
concern among administrators
that O’Leary had been too
lenient with the students during
his term as University President.
He asked Thompson if there was
any truth to this, and if the
committee was looking for
someone who would take a
firmer stance with the students.

Thompson could not verify
whether or not the
administrators had concerns with
O’Leary’s dealings with
students, but he said that a hard
line stance was not one of the
criteria for the position.

Judith Krebs, the president of
the Student Association of the
State University asked
Thompson if the would be an
opportunity for student groups to
hold a forum with the candidates
once the list is narrowed down.

Thompson said that it was
not implicitly stated that the
Students would get such an
Opportunity, but it was a
Possibility that could be looked
into when the time comes.

Thompson said that the
University Council’s final
recommendation should be in by
late spring, with confirmation
coming not long after.

“A lot’s going to happen in
the interim,” he said.

efforts.

In the shot put, senior Ericka Anderson

placed first with a throw of 40’ 9.5”.
Placing seventh in the shot for Albany
was freshman Amy Burton with a throw
of 32’ 10.5”. This was an impressive
throw for a freshman given the talent of
many of the 25 participants.

In the 200 meters, Albany took third
and fourth. Sophomore Nicole Hargraves
took third with a time of 28.6 and junior
Francia Crump placed fourth in 29.1.

"We are right where I want us to be and

that it takes place on their home mats,"
Albany coach Joe Demeo said, "you can
be sure that we will be well prepared and

An injury (sprained knee) to freshman
sensation Von Fronhofer will place an
added strain on the rest of his teammates.

All of the Dane wrestlers are excited
about the upcoming meet.

“We intend to wrestle so hard that if
Ithaca isn't ready for us, they may get
hurt,” Mallin said.

"We have many great athletes on this
team, and I expect for us to do well,"
Demeo said.

Great Danes end slide with 53 point victory

By Howard Koppel

The Albany women’s basketball team
(9-7) snapped their four game losing
streak, pummelling Plattsburgh 88-35 at
University Gym on Tuesday night.

“We needed something like that,”
Albany Coach Mari Warner said
commenting on the game. ““We wanted
to work on man-to-man defense without
fouling and thinking offense. I think we
did just that.”

The Danes came out running from the
opening tip-off, jumping out to a quick
11-0 lead. Plattsburgh never made any
significant.

The lead was extended to 38-13 when
5-3 sophomore Laurie Annunziato hit a
pair of free throws at 1:39 for the
biggest lead in the half.

Defense was the key to the Danes
domination, forcing 25 turnovers in the
first half. In the second half, Plattsburgh
gave away the ball 21 more times. The
Danes would end the game with 24
steals.

Point guard Tracey Posisant led
Platisburgh with 12 turnovers, followed
by teammate Alicia Lavalley with 11.

The Danes defense fed the offense
which capitalized on opportunities by
taking high percentage shots. The Danes
were 34 of 70 from the floor, almost 10
percent higher than their season average.

The second half opened in similar
fashion as the first, with a run by
Albany. Center Lisa Ginsberg’s lay-up at

18:41 capped off a six point run makin
the score 46-17. :

An eight point run was finished off by
Senior Gina Richardson’s lay-up at 2:18
to push the Albany lead to 48.

Richardson had an all around
spectacular game leading all scorers with
22 points, hitting nine of 14 from the
field. Richardson was set-up for several
fast breaks by her teammates. She also
pulled in a game high 12 rebounds,
splitting them evenly on offense and
defense, and had six steals along with 4
assists.

Pam Wilson also put up some
impressive numbers for Albany. Wilson
had 14 points, putting 5 of her 7 shots in
the basket and going a perfect 4 for 4
from the line. Wilson also grabbed 7
rebounds and made 5 steals.

In addition, Annunziato gave a very
strong effort with 10 points, 2 rebounds
and 2 steals. Anunziato’s contribution to
this victory goes beyond her numbers,
Her hustle for every loose ball and
pressure defense forced Plattsburgh into
many mistakes, particularly in the first
half.

Aimee Gomlack led Plattsburgh
scoring with 14. She also pulled in 8
rebounds, 6 on defense. Alicia La Valley
added 11 points, snared 10 steals and
grabbed 4 rebounds

Hamilton causes double trouble for Albany swim teams

we did pretty well,” Tina Labruzzo said.

STAFF WRITER

Losses to Hamilton on January 24th dropped the
women’s swimming team to 3-3 and the men’s to 1-6.
The final scores were 145-94 and 149-75 respectively.

Despite the low score, Albany coach David Turnage
managed to find some bright spots. He said that he was
pleased “with the way that both the men and the women
swam. They’re getting ready for the state meet.”

He also cited Sarah Klein’s personal best time of
2:07.92 in the 200 freestyle, which gave her second
place.

“They’ve been getting better and better every year,”
Albany swimmer Jeff Luks said about Hamilton, “I think
that we swam very well also.”

The women got off to an early lead after the first
event, but it would be their only lead during the meet. “It
was tough because they had a big team, but, otherwise,

Albany swimmers dropped their meets despite good Individual efforts.

Debbie: Brill, Kim: McDonald, Klein, and Andrea
Caporuscio emerged triumphant in the 400 medley
relay, which gave an 11-6 lead to the Danes. They had a
time of 4:22.29. “I was very happy with the first relay,”
McDonald said. “We didn’t expect to do as well as we
did.”

After losses in the next two events, Albany was able
to capture the 50 freestyle. Sari Edelman was the
winner with a time was 0:26.59. That cut Hamilton’s
lead to 44-30.

After losing in the 200 im. (individual medley), the
Danes recovered when Brenda Braun captured the first
diving competition. Her score of 210.20 enabled
Albany to trim its deficit to 66-46.

Albany followed the diving with a loss in the 200
butterfly, which was followed by a victory in the 100
freestyle. Caporuscio won with a mark of 0:57.46. That

put the score at 90-59.

Next, Brill was:able to capture the 200. backstroke.
Her time of 2:25.01 cut Hamilton’s lead to 99-69. “Our
relays were strong,” Brill said, “I really didn’t expect to
do as well as I did.”

The Danes lost in the 500 freestyle, but came back to
defeat Hamilton in the diving. Braun and Bridget Walter
finished first and second for Albany, with scores of
253.90 and 194.45, respectively. Hamilton’s lead was
lowered to 118-85.

Albany dropped the final two events to end the meet.

“They just had too much depth,” Tumage said.

The men did not fare even nearly as well. After
winning the first 11 events, Hamilton had a lead of 149-
48, enough to clinch the victory and enable Hamilton to
swim the rest in exhibition.

John Lewis received credit for winning in the 200
breaststroke, although his time of 2:30.52 would have
landed him in third place. The score became 149-64.

Albany’s team of Steven Stern, John Bonade, Ken
Brandeis, and Aaron Montgomery won the 400 freestyle
relay outright, making the final score 149-75. Their time
was 3:30.49.

Stern was named as the men’s team athlete of the
meet. Klein was the athlete of the meet on the women’s
team.

“A lot of people impressed me because a lot of times
went down.” Klein said, “The spirit was there.”

The next meets will be on Saturday January 27 at 2:00
in the gym against Cortland.

“The divers are going to be very important.. against
Cortland. The other swimmers... have to do just about
their best times this year to win.”

“Cortland should be a good meet,” Luks said, “We
have a really good chance of winning it. I think we’re
finally coming together as a team.”~

Albany knocks off Plattsburgh, 80-68

SPORTS EDITOR

Michael Shene scored 20 points and
pulled down 12 rebounds to lead Albany
(12-5) to a 80-68 victory over Plattsburgh
Tuesday night at University Gym.

Shene, a Plattsburgh native, recorded
his second straight game in double figures
scoring and rebounds against his
hometown college. “It’s always good to
beat them once or twice a year,” Shene
jokingly said.

But there was no laughter on the
Albany bench midway through the second
half as the Danes saw a 13 point halftime
lead evaporate on a 22-8 Plattsburgh run.
John Edmead’s lay-up off a touch pass
from Scott Randolph gave the Cardinals a
47-46 lead at 12:45.

“Tt wasn’t our finest hour,” Albany
coach Dick Sauers said, “Our defense got
soft and we missed 2 or 3 good shots...it
helped their momentum.”

Alex McClearn gave the Danes back
the lead with a lay up at 12:19 following a
Plattsburg turnover. Andy Goodemote hit
a three pointer to extend the Dane lead to
four. 4

A trifecta by Dennis Walker along with
four free throws and a jumper by Shene
gave Albany a 60-49 lead at 9:40. The
Danes would not allow Plattsburgh to get
any closer.

Sophomore Greg Jones, who averages
under two minutes a game, ended the
contest with a thunderous dunk at the
buzzer.

“We dug a little deeper,” Sauers said,
“We didn’t play one of out better games
though.”

Todd Wright, a 6-8 sophomore, had a
team high 17 points and 12 rebounds for
the Cardinals. “Todd’s a tough player,”
Sauers said, “we tried to always keep a
body on him.” Edmead added 12 for
Plattsburgh.

Stephen Mulderry and Goodemote had
12 apiece for Albany. McClearn had eight
and pulled in game high 13 rebounds.

Albany will be on the road for its next
four games against some tough

competition including Saturday’s contest
against perennial rival Potsdam.

Last season, Albany defeated the Bears
67-63 at University Gym. This unique
rivalry brings capacity crowds to
whatever venue it is held.

“We're going to go up there to play,”
Shene said, “that’s all I’m going to say.”

“We gotta get it together,” Sauers said,

“we’ll be up for it.” Sauers stated that in
his estimation the top four teams in the
states are Buffalo, Rochester, Stonybrook
and Potsdam.

The Danes lost by one to Buffalo earlier
in the season and face Stonybrook on the
toad February 3rd. Tough times may lie
ahead.
