Milano went left on an option and
was greeted by two-time All-

behind the line of scrimmage, Off-

down by grasping his ankle.

Inserted into the game was se-
cond string quarterback Anthony
Nozzi (see Nozzi page 27), who per-
formed capably in the final 12
minutes of the contest to preserve
Albany's victory.
Nozzi, a sophomore from Pen-
field, Rochester, who started every
‘game for junior varsity last season,
is now the starter for tomorrow's
afternoon game at New Haven, It
will mark Nozzi's first start in a col-
lege varsity game.
While the Dane quarterback
situation is a bit unsettling, there is
nothing shaky about the rest of the
squad, The defensive play was ex-
traordinary against Ithaca, allow-
ing only one touchdown, The
Danes’ defense made the Bombers
offense resemble one of the
automobiles from **Rent-a-Wreck"*
— stalling before ever getting
started,
Even the Bombers’ touchdown
didn’t show that they could move
the ball on a consistent basis. On
' third and one and the Danes in a
short-yardage formation, quarter-
back Steve Kass bolted left on an
option and outsprinted the surpris-
ed Albany defense. Besides that one
lapse, the Dane defensive play was
flawless.
“The front six of the defense was
just awesome," exclaimed Ford,
referring to the four downlinemen
and two linebackers, ‘It was the
best I've seen them play. I've never
seen such a domination of the line
of scrimmage."”
Bombers’ Head Coach Jim But-
terfield thought the Albany
domination was more widespread
“They were completely dominant
They controlled everything, the
defense, the offense. The only thing
we were superior was maybe the
kicking game.”
Though the Danes’ offense
managed just one touchdown, they
were able to march down the field
consistently mainly due to the effee-
tiveness of the ground game. With
running back Dana Melvin paving
the way by dishing out punishing
blocks, sophomore halfback Cesar
Revano ran rampant on the outside
picking up 79 yards in just 13
carries,
Ironically, Alba

the Bombers’ goal-line defense pro-
ved superior to the Danes’ goal-line
offense as they failed to put it in on
four tries.

The Albany State men’s soccer team won their season opener over the Oswego Lakers,
Albany opened up the scoring when Francisco Duarte crossed the ball over to Tihan
Presbie who passed it to Michael Jasmin in the middle of the field and shot it past the
‘Oswego netminder about 10 minutes into the contest.
The second goal was made possible when Jerry Isaacs passed the ball to Presbie on the
left side of the field, who then dribbled toward the net, drawing the goalie out with him,
Presbie faked a shot causing the goaltender to overreact; he went past him and scored on a

Professor Cohen and Isaac Bashevis Singer
SUNYA prof working on
off-Broadway play with
Isaac Bashevis Singer
By Lisa Mirabella
SUNYA English Professor Sarah Blacker Cohen and Nobel Prize
Winner Isaac Bashevis Singer have pooled their literary talents to
produce Shlemie! the First, a play slated to open off-Broadway next
month. The play, Cohen said, is a ‘children's comedy for adults
which burlesques the serious concerns of Singer's spiritual drama:
It combines two of Singer's short stories and is scheduled to run for
five weeks beginning October 13 at the Jewish Repertory Theatre in
New York City.
Cohen will be atfending 10 rehearsals during the next two weeks,
“to see if there are any changes to be made."" During an interview at
her Albany home, Cohen admitted, smiling; “It’s too much fun to be
work."*
She said she met Singer during a visit with her brother in Miami
Beach in the winter of 1980. I didn’t know anyone except my
brother,"” she explained, ‘so 1 just called him (Singer) because his
number was listed.””
At that time, Cohen was writing an essay on Singer's work for her
book From Hester Street to Hollywood: The Jewish American Stage
and Screen,
Their first meeting concluded with Cohen, who teaches modern
drima at SUNYA, reading through some of Singer's unpublished
scripts and arranging for him to come to SUNYA to team-teach a
course with her that fall.
“‘Shlemiel the First had a lot of possibilities’ Cohen explained, she
proceeded to critique the script, changing structure and dialogue and
embellishing characters for a full-length play. It combines Singer's
Yiddish folklore-style children’s stories The Fools of Chelm and
Their History and When Shlemiel Went to Warsaw.
Leafing througfh a scrap-book, which includes pictures of her at
Singer’s Miami home during their first meeting and subsequent
photos of them working on the play together in New York, Cohen
described her experiences collaborating with the 80 year old sparkling
blue-eyed story-teller.
“Amazing things would happen, thing that seem fanciful and im-
aginary, and he would just take them in stride,”” she recalled. Cohen
recounted a time in Miami when they called a librarian to ask for one
of Singer's children’s books, and the librarian volunteered to bring
the book and some children over to Singer's house. ‘We were work-
ing with all the children gathered around, and it was perfectly natural
to him," Cohen said.
Cohen said she has never allowéd herself to partake in what she
considers‘‘the indulgence” of creative writing, “Although” she add-
ed, “‘now that we have the Writer's Institute it makes it respectable to
do creative writing.”” She said that she secretly wanted to be an ac-
tress, and is able to live out her wish in classes, which ‘‘are captive au-
diences."” But, she said, her greatest love is teaching.
Cohen won the 1984 Excellence in Teaching Award at SUNYA.
Cohen said she often writes about serious issues, but with a
humorous touch.
“Jewish humor, as we know it, began in the Mid-nineteenth cen-
tury from the Yiddish Tradition," she said, citing the Jewish Proverb
“Leid macht auch Lachen,"" (Sorrows also make for laughter), to ex-
plain the development of this sense of comedy.
“There were many sorrows, poverty and powerlessness, among the
Eastern European Jews and Their descendants, who have gone on..."”
to become actors and comedians, she said.
Singer was born in Poland, spending most of his childhood in War-
saw, and coming to America in 1935, He writes in Yiddish, which, ac-

Audit criticizes SUNYA infirmary,
but University plans no changes
By lan Clements
STAPF WRITER
Despite a state audit in July that specifically
criticized the operation of SUNYA’s health clinic,
no changes in services have been made in response
to the report, asserted Associate Vice President for
Health and Counseling Services Neil Brown,
The audit report, issued in July by the Office of
New York State Comptroller Edward Regan, claim-
ed that SUNYA’s infirmary, one of the six SUNY
clines that provides 24 hour care, ‘duplicated
medical services already available in the communi-
ty," noting that there are four hospitals “located
within a few miles of the campu:
statistics,’’
SUNY began to improve its monitoring of stu-
dent health clinics in 1982, two years before the
comptroller's report was issued, according to
SUNY Vice Chancellor for Research, Graduate
Studies and Professional Programs Norman
Haffner.
In 1982, the SUNY Board of Trustees adopted a
resolution which called for each college with a
health clinic to draw up a plan for operations every
three years, said Haffner,
According to the official SUNY response to the
audit, “Bach plan is to describe the goals, mission,
Brown disagreed with the report's charges of
duplication, arguing that the infirmary provides
help to students. whose medical problems are
serious but not critical enough to warrant treatment
in a hospital emergency room.
Some sports-related injuries, and cases in which a
student has a high temperature or contagious il-
Iness, are situations where the infirmary could pro-
vide more appropriate care than hospitals, noted
Brown.
The report recommended that ‘‘SUNY should
more closely monitor the student health clinic pro-
gram.” The Comptroller's office also faulted the
“patchwork effect among the campus clinics’?
which resulted from ‘‘SUNY’s policy of delegating,
to cach college the authority to offer whatever
health services it considers appropriate.
This “patchwork effect’* resulted in a cost to tax-
payers of a “‘sizeable amount,” the report stated.
“I took the audit report seriously, but I haven’t
changed anything on the basis of the report,”* said
Brown who's been in charge of SUNYA's health
services since last spring, “We've defended our
modus operandi to SUNY Central and they have
accepted that, We have taken a critical look at our
services and will continue to do so," he said.

monitor the student health clinics by ‘developing

Computer user room installed on State Quad
By Christopher Blomquist
There's somehting new on State Quad
besides the freshmen.
The State Quad Computer User Room,
which opened in the basement of Fulton
Hall last May, marks the beginning of a
program which could culminate with a
user room located on every quad.
According to Director of Residential
Life John Martone, the room, which is
open to all SUNYA students, is the first
phase of a steady plan to build a user room
on every quad within the next few years,
This summer, Martone said, he and
representatives from the SUNYA Research
and Educational Development Depart-
‘ment investigated the four other quads for
possible room sites,
Some computer users disagree with Mar-
tone’s selection of State Quad as the site of
the first quad user room, Craig Lowen-
thal, a senior computer science major, who
works at the new user room three times a
week, said he feels a more practical loca-
tion could have been selected. According
to him, the freshmen of State Quad don’t
have as many, or as complex, computer
classes as the upperclassmen’ on other
quads. Frosh, he believes, don’t have as
much need for the user room as a well
established science major would, ‘They
should have put it on Colonial, Indian, or
Dutch,"’ he added.
Yet Lowenthal predicts an increase in
use by State Quad freshmen during the se-
cond semster, when the potential computer
science majors will be finished with in-
troductory courses, and taking more ad-
vanced ones,
There have been few complaints about

the State Quad user room itself, Lowen-
thal called it “‘much neater that the other
rooms," and said that, “it’s bound to
benefit the people on State.
The room houses six decwriters, which
are used, according to Lowenthal, for ‘tin
formal printing or ‘hard copy’.”” For prin-
tout sheets that are to be handed in,
Lowenthal says students must use the
equipment in the main user rooms in CS 22
(another new facility built last year), LC 4,
or LC 27,
The other computers on State include
ten new digital VT 101's, which give access
to the Sperry and the DEC 20 main frame
in the lecture centers, There are also four
Volker Craig terminals, which permit ac-
cess only to the Sperry main frame,
Lowenthal said that the use of t
has been “fair”? for “off hour:
“showing good improvement’ during the
rush between noon and six p.m, He said he
believes one reason for the slowness of the
room is that ‘‘not many people know abut
this yet."" If the use of the room remains as
is, Lowenstein said he believes that the
State facility is going to be very handy,
“Come finals time when there's a two
hour wait at the lecture centers, this room
is definitely going to alleviate alot of it,””
he said: He added, “We're open 8 a.m, to
11 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8
a.m, to4 p.m. on Saturday,”
The State Quad location was chosen
‘over the others, Martone said, because
“there were concerns in distance from the
Campus Center and in the away student
space, We also desired to offer this to in-
coming students on a predominantly
freshman qua
Slater said she believes that there were
other motives behind the selection of State
as the home for the room, ‘They wanted
to increase the popularity of the quad,"
she said, Slater said she believes that the
room was placed on State to attract up-
perclassmen back to the quad, which is
currently populated by approximately 70
percent frosh,
In response to these claims, Martone
asserted, “I never thought that that one

‘After the series of unfortunate

Faced with the prospect of a 21 drinking
age, the need for massive student voter tur-
nout in November, and the possibility of
, an athletic fee budgeted by administrators
rather than students, SA’s Student Action
‘Committee (SAC) drew an eager crowd of
30 students to their first meeting Thursday
/night.
Focusing his committee's agenda on
voter registration, SAC chair Steve Gawley
reminded the crowd that October 5 is the
last day to register for the November
elections.
SAC, the activist wing of SUNYA’s Stu-
dent Association, plans to direct a sizeable
campaign designed to increase the student
vote at SUNYA.
**All issues flow from voter registration.
If students don’t register and vote, then
they don’t have to be listened to,"" Gawley
asserted.
SAC Vice Chair Greg Rothschild em-
phasized in his report to the committee
that students should not only vote as in-
dividuals, but as a distinct group. ‘If we
vote as a block,” he said, “we will be
listened to.”
‘The SAC plans to register students on
the dinner lines and at five local bars on
September 21 and 22. At these bars, the
SAC will be ready to register them on the
spot.
The next issue raised was the possibility
of a 21 drinking age. Although legislation
ias not yet been introduced this year, the
SAC is preparing now for the inevitable
challenge. The committee went over the
course of action it followed last year, in-
cluding plans to re-initiate a letter writing
campaign urging legislators to oppose the
legal drinking age.
The committee is also preparing to deal
with the new-found importance of the
grouper law, which states that no more
than three people can live together in off
campus housing. The law, which has been
on the books for several years, could, if
enforced, pose a serious threat to students
living off campus. Students were urged to
call an Albany Housing inspector if they
encounter any problems in the ritar future.
The final major issue discussed during
the meeting was the possibility of
SUNYA's athletic program being moved
this move, which the SUNY Board of
Trustees is now considering, because it
would give the SUNYA administration the
pore to budget the mandatory athletic
fee.
The funding for athletics is currently
covered by the mandatory student activity
fee, which is allocated by SA with SUNYA.

would cost a phenomenal amount of
money, and is unrealistic for a school like
Albany. SUNYs Buffalo and Stonybrook
would be likelier candidates, Charney said.
SAC Vice Chair Greg Rothschild
asserted, ‘We could lose money to other
schools by making this move. We don’t
want our priorities to shift.””
After discussing many issues that will
have an impact on students in this
academic year, the SAC turned its atten-
tion to itself. According to Steve Gawley,
student activism will go from the SAC to
the Quad Boards. He emphasized that the
‘only way to accomplish their goals is by
reaching out to the various quads.
“The only way to fight is to have the

Colleges report hard times
since Reagan gained office
(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) As the campaign begins in carnest, President Reagan
is not getting any higher marks from the education community than he has during
the last four years, various higher education experts say.
To assess the president’s impact on colleges, College Press Service asked a cross sec~
tion of officials and experts a variation of the same question President Reagan posed to
voters in 1980: Are you and your campus better off now than you were four years ago)
Pointing to Reagan's attempts to gut federal financial aid programs, soft enforcement
of campus civil rights laws, and a general ‘lack of interest” in higher education, some
concluded Reagan has one of the worst higher education track records of any president
in recent history. :
“We are certainly not better off than we were four years ago,” said Shawne Murphy,
president of the National Coalition, of Independent College and, University Students .
(COPUS) and a student at St. Olaf College in Minnesota.
“We've been fighting a continual uphill battle against the Reagan budget cuts,"" she
lamented. “He's tried to take a big chunk out of education for the last four years, but
fortunately Congress has come up with compromises that didn’t make the cuts as bad as
they could have been."” ; Mi
Indeed, during his first three years in office Reagan proposed cutting financial aid fun-
ding from 30-to-50 percent, sending shock waves through the higher education
‘Among other things, Reagan proposed eliminating some financial aid programs — stu-
dent Social Security benefits, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG) and
State Student Incentive Grants (SSIG) among them — and restricting other programs,
“It's been clear since the 1980-81 school year that overall student aid has decreased by
20 percent, even with the rejection of Reagan's drastic proposed cuts,"* observed Kathy
tive liason for the United States Student Association (USSA) in Washington,
DC.
“The administration's policies regarding regulations, court decisions, and funding has
clearly not been in the best interest of most students,"” she asserted.
For example, she said, the Reagan administration backed off a strict enforcement of
Title IX of the 1972 Higher Education Amendments. 19>

The awakening of the Graduate Student Union!
The following is the first in a conti-
auing series of columns written by and
for graduate students. If you are in-
terested in writing, contact John
Crawford at the GSEU,
By John Crawford
A population is awakening at SUNYA.
They are shedding the covers of ascribed
sonambulism, drinking a lot of coffee,
banging their apartment doors open and
striding onto campus claiming their turf.
Graduate students — 4,000 at SUNY
Albany — are organizing themselves and
demanding that they have a say in the deci-
sions that effect their daily lives at SUNYA
and in SUNY.
‘Their goals: a better standard of living;
acknowledgement of their contribution to
the SUNY system’ representation on cam-
pus and a better collegial life. Their
methods: unity and reasonable audacity.
The GSEU is an employees union whose
members are Graduate Assistants,
Teaching Assistants and Research
Assistants (GA/TA/RA's). They perform
a significant amount of, the educational
services at SUNYA. These ‘“‘assistants"’
give lectures, teach courses, give grades
and counsel students; furthermore, they
add to the integrity and prestige of
SUNYA by giving conference papers,
writing articles and doing funded research.
They are chosen by their departments,
hired by the university and paid by the
state of New York.
GA/TA/RA's do what other campus
educators do. But unjustly, the state has
yet to admit that they are employees. The
GSEU claims that if graduates do
employee work they are empolyees and
should be compensated as such.
GA/TA/RA’s are graduate student
GA/TA/RA's are paid way
below what their initial salary power was

began. Furthermore, in a complicated

how much they matter to the successful
operation of the SUNY system. They have

mat, { these employees do not receive
full tution waivers. Consequently their
salary is given back to the state for tuition.
They're sharecroppers dealing with the
company store. The GSEU would bargain
with the state to get competent salaries for
all its members - with full tuition waivers -
and no cuts in the current number of
GA/TA/RA lines. As a union, GSEU
members can bargain for better working
conditions, an adequate employee health
plan and the overdue right to participate in
decisions that affect their academic career:
‘They are only claiming what they are due
as professional educators and state
employees.
“Yes, I like the idea that
you've come together and
‘you've organized, and you're
trying to help yourselves, and
you have a right to make your
case, and I'd be pleased to hear
it”
The second organization does not exist,

mandatory student fees while providing
academic and social services to their uni-
‘que population.
For months now, President O'Leary has
withheld action on a report dealing with
proposed mandatory student fee changes -
including graduate student mandatory
fees. This report suggests that a GSA con-
trol any graduate fees that are proposed. It
is the only reasonable alternative to assess-
graduate fees, and allowing no
control. Starting a GSA can pre-
vent blind siding graduate students with
unfavorable and unjust decisions made for
the benefit of others.
President O'Leary should act on the
report, Let graduate students decide these
questions about fees and representation by
their own vote. Democracy delayed is
democracy denied. If a GSA existed at
Albany, graduate students would already
have a voice advocating their democratic
rights, Currently, 4000 graduates are
unrepresented and unheard.

The “Party”
stood firmly, holding resolutely to the
"ain't no one going to iavade my stan-
ding space” principle and basked in the
hazy white pre-concert atmosphere; an om-
nipresent cloud of white, drifting smoke clash-
ed with the glaring white auditorium lights
Chants of “Rooott” and “Blotto! Blotto! Blot-
tol” leaped eagerly into the air, Thousands of
Pairs of the. Capital District's most insatiable
ears (a reported 12,000 ear sell-out by the time
Blotto was ready to appear) congregated into
the RPI Field House anticipating a rockin’,

The highly diversified menu, ranging from a
lively sampling (albeit a disappointingly
meager portion) of the Drongo’s pop/new
wave repetoire to a bountiful (a self-
proclaimed 219 pounds worth) morsel. of
down:-beat blues from "Root Boy Slim” was
bound to satisfy everyone at the very least, at
one time or another, if not simultaneoulsy, Un-
doubtedly, the one aspect of the concert that
the crowd simultaneously did not enjoy were
the obnoxious utterances of their QBK heroes
during the everso-forgetful great prize
giveaway. I sincerely hoped that one of the
lucky “winners” reached that point in his life
where he could appreciate an invigorating per-
sonal flying lesson,
The crowd's musical spirits soared to the
ceiling during the Drongos’ brief opening
tenure, The Drongos, a talented, popular New
Zealand-based quartet are: Jean McAllister
(guitar and keyboards), Stan Mitchell (drums),
Richard Kennedy (guitar), and Tony McMaster
(bass). Their instrumentals were always boun-
cy and pleasing to the ear. Especially appealing
was their hit "Don't Touch Me” and "Over-
night Bag.” The rhythmic guitars accentuated
the fast, danceable beat without the customary
acoustic wailing that tends to, on occasion, vex
the ear drum, Lyrically, the Drongos vacillated
between the nifty/catchy, “If you can’t touch
my heart don’t touch me” and the painfully
cliched phrases that seemed to be conveniently
inserted into the music for the sole purpose of
making a rhyme, as in “Bye of the Hurricane,”
“"Lwas drawn like a moth to a flame/They were
looking through the eye of a hurricane."
Honestly, though, who cares? Their clean,
honest looks and their “le’s sweat, play music,
and have a good time” attitude made them a
double treat to listen to and to watch. “In
person-ness” did Jean McAllister’s (you know,
the only member of the groups with long,
long, long hair?) vocals more justice than their
album's recording did, Richard Kennedy's
voice Was smooth and fairly expressive — it all
provided for a pleasant listen. Buy their debut

‘One would have to wonder about Root Boy
Slim’s life long odyssey. Throughout the even

“Root! Root! Root!” I was inclined to believe
that Root Boy Slim would dazzle and send his
audience into an uncontrollable frenzy.
However, one look at the man’s drunken, 219
pound (he boasted sconfully while lifting his
shirt and pointing to his bare stomach), hairy
frame, the popcorn throwing onto the stage,
and the emphatic “boos” following that band’s
performance revealed to me that these friendly

theless, it was a crowd pleaser (and that is,
ultimately, what counts). Their rendition of
"Shake, Rattle and Roll” was ponderous and
hardly evoked the excitement and energy as
Chuck Berry's original classic did, For the most
part, their lyrics, as in “The Guy She's With,”
for example, “Lips of ruby, eyes of blue, she's
got a boyfriend, too” were overtly banal and
cliched. At least "Tough Guy," an. amazing
punch in the biker's arm, and "I Won't Be Hap-
py Till You Hear Me on the Radio,” a lively
selftribute, proved to be welcome respites
from the Sharks’ long, befuddled journey,

“Roots!” were, more than likely, chants of sar-

‘One subtle glance at this slovenly, amusing
performer would lead one to believe that some
unscrupulous music agent pulled him off of the
grimy Bowery pavement and shoved a
microphone (which Mr. Slim must leam to
hold onto) into his hand.
Basically, Rost! Boy Slim wallowed in his
depravity and enjoyed it immensely, rendering
him an amusing sight for eyes stinging from in-
cessant, intense exposure to smoke, Admitted-
ly, his unshaven visage, partially masked by
dark eye glasses, evoked a mysterious “beat
nik” image that could easily motivate a dank,
smoke filled atmosphere.
Undoubtedly, the Capital District's King of
the Musically Gifted Vagrants had a few assets
that worked in his favor:
1) As incessantly annoying and absurd his
lyrics were, a person could stay reasonably
happy for hours pondering Slims song titles,
“Liquor Store Hold Up in Space” and “Mrs.
Paul, Why Don't You Do Me Like Sara Lee?”
(gotta like it),

For Film Reviews
@lbam Reviews
Summer’s Fil
though the summer of 1984 has reach-
ed its end, the sun is still shining
brightly for the major motion picture
spirits of the accountants in Hollywood.
lan Spelling
Pictures such as Rhinestone failed despite
the non-stop publicity surrounding the pair-
ing of Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton,
At the other other end of the spectrum was
the highly profitable Revenge of the Nerds.
This low-budget comedy benefited from
positive word of mouth, and even the
Olympics, Apparently 20th Century Fox
was the only major studio willing to dole out
the cash necessary to warrant air time on the
official network of the 1984 summer games.
Obviously the investment was worth it.
As we head into the fall a fresh new batch
of cinema fare awaits us. Before pictures
such as Falling in Love (DeNiro and Streep),
Give My Regards To Broadstreet (Paul Mc-
Cartney), and All of Me (Steve Martin and
Lily Tomlin) can open, the summer
holdovers must first be nudged from their
slots on theater marquees.
To give an idea of what is still out there
and why, a summary review of each hit
follows. Also acknowledged are some films
no longer playing, whether from running
their course or being outright flops.
Ghostbusters. The Bill Murray show.
Murray fans will have a field day as their
hero fights the supernatural in his own
special way. If his way is not your way, skip
this film, Not even purposely hokey special
effects or the inane Rick Maranis over-
shadow Murray.
Gremlins- Steven Spielberg strikes again. |
honestly don’t know why this unsatisfying
film is as popular as it has proven to be. No
tension, no romance (unless you count the
peck on the cheek that the hero gets at the
conclusion), and awful lighting and matteing
add up to a mishmash of horror and comedy
which ultimately neglects to live up to direc-
tor Joe Dante's high brow expectations, or
ours,
‘Acting is not included in the Gremlins
vocabulary. Further proof of this is the in-
tense audience reaction to Gizmo, the only
smart character in the entire picture, And
he's not real. Novice screenwriter Chris Col-
umbus earns the boos for this; all human
characters are secondary to the exploits of
Gizmo and the bad guy gremlins.
I could go on dismantling Gremlins for
years, although I won't. One particular
criticism must be brought out; the sheer
commerciality of this film. Even the unatten-
tive movie-goer can catch the E.T, doll in the
toy store, the Road Warrior poster in the
kid's room (that film was directed by com
Miller, who directed the Gremlin epi
of Spielberg's Twilight Zone), the Star Wars

The grim, futuristic backdrop of Fritz Lang's Metropolis
and the sheer brilliance of making the
creature-hero so cute that every child wants
one. And this of course is possible if you
have ten dollars and two upc labels from
boxes of Gremlins cereal.
‘Star Trek Ill - The Search For Spock-
Leonard Nimoy directed this faithful-to-the-
series space saga. He succeeded by following
the well-worn Star Trek formula: human
dramatics tempered by humor. Occasionally
the dramatics floundered, resulting in
twisted humor. The scene which best il-
lustrates this is the one in which Spock's
father (Mark Lenard) tells Kirk (William
Shatner), “Kirk, I must have your thoughts.
May I join your mind?’ At the world
premiere in New York City the audience
howled and Leonard Nimoy cringed.
Trekkies obviously forgive and forget
quickly as the film earned a quick 75 million
dollar fix before losing its audience.
Purple Rain- Morris Day steals the show
as the egomaniacal nemesis to Prince. His
hip, smart-ass routine forces Prince to flex
his. muscles via brilliant live stage
performances.
‘The vibrant and hypnotic footage of
Prince strutting his stuff coupled with boom-
ing Dolby Stereo caps an entertaining ex.
perience. And the storyline is not all bad
either, although women will undoubtedly
object to the derogatory treatment of the
women in Purple Rain. :
Tightrope- Clint Eastwood is my main
man, and I'm happy to say he's-in terrific
form here. The film, though, does not quite
peak when or where he does.
‘As a. psychological thriller, Tightrope
walks its namesake, Eastwood can't resist the
prostitutes he encounters while investigating
a series of murders. It turns out that the killer
is as much a pervert as he; using handcuffs,
body oil and the like.
When Eastwood falls for the female
counselor of the local rape crisis center the
picture bogs down and grinds gears, At the
heart of this is an unbridled lack of cinematic
chemistry and a poor performance by
Genieve Bujold (the boring heroine of
Coma),
Director Richard Tuggle would have fared
home life (he's a single father with two
young daughters) to his sexual ag-
gressiveness, rather than look for irony in an
idealistic Laperagen ica
Despite its faults, Tightrope is a must see
for Clint fans. As usual he is steely-eyed and
mean, but Eastwood must act to flesh out the
character of the troubled Wes Block. And he
does this admireably. Seeing Clint smile was
worth the five dollar admission price for me,

Outside of a few other Campus Center junkies, a
lot of people don’t really know who puts this
Paper out of how we go about it.
To the mildly curious, seriously interested or totally
apathetic — let us introduce ourselves:
You hold in your hands the Albany Student Press —
a
T hat's our motto. And all too often it's the truth,
a.k.a. ASP,
‘The ASP. is run as democratically as possible. The
members of the editorial board are responsible for both
the paper’s day-to-day operation and its editorial policy.
‘The editorial board is made up of the core of ASPies,
men and women who have committed themselves to this
paper above and beyond the demands of a normal
lifestyle They are the news, sports and aspects editors,
business and production managers, managing editor and
editor-in-chief. ,
‘The editorial board elects the editor in chief and can
impeach her or him. The board makes all policy deci-
sions, sometimes in formal votes but often in daily deci-
sions, The way the board memebers do their jobs
ultimately shapes the personality and direction of the
paper,
COLUMN—
Outside this small group though, is a workforce of
almost 100 people — writers, salespeople, production
workers, business staff, typists and others, They're the
‘ones who make this a consistent, quality newspaper.
Most of the people whose names are listed on the facing
page don’t get paid. Most of the editors receive stipends,
and some of the business and productions positions are
salaried, No one on the paper receives academic credit for
their work.
‘The ASP is alone in the SUNY system and a rarity in
the nation — it is a financially independent college
newspaper. We receive no funds either from Student
‘Association or the university, which does provide us with
our home in the Campus Center. All our revepue comes
from the ads we sell.
‘The ASP is independently incorporated. It’s published
by the Albany Student Press Corporation, which also
publishes COMITY, the magazine of international
affairs,
Although our financial independence is dear to us, we
strive to be as much a part of this campus as we can. We

Catch the Spirit
The weather may be turniig cold outside but something
very special has taken root and is growing in between the
concrete that we call SUNY Albany. It’s like the human
wave that the Mets’ fans participate in at Shea Stadium:

everyone becomes a part of it,
[Jason Freidman
‘Still confused? Some of you might be in the dark, but
that’s okay we'll get back to you later. What I’m referring
to is something I have not overwhemingly experienced in
the past three years at Albany. But this year is different.
T'm talking about the feeling of excitement, enthusiasm
and warmth that is in the air at SUNY Albany this year:
I'm talking about school spirit.
“What a minute," you might say, “What about Lisa
Birnbach’s soon-to-be released College Book in which she
lists Albany among the schools with the least school
spirit."” Well Lisa, your book is archaic before it even hits
the bookstore shelf, and I’m gonna tell you why.
I mentioned a “feeling” of spirit, of excitement which
is starting to spread on campus and in the dorms. Mr.
Spock would say that a ‘feeling’ is not enough to go on,
Okay, 80 how about some facts? Last week, the annual
freshman class picnic was held. It usually has a very low
turnout. Last year 75 students attended and that figure
‘was slightly bloated, This year, however, 800 students
went and had a great time.
How about the Pep Rally, a good measure of schoo!
spirit, Last year virtually no one showed up, this yeat
over 400 attended and were yelling and cheering for
Coach Ford and the Great Danes, despite the faulty
sound system, Over 750 balloons were’ handed out to
freshmen, and others, who couldn't wait to get a hold of
one, I know, I helped hand them out. And to top it all
off, the Danes won, 10-6, before a big crowd.
Dr. Frank Pogue, Vice President of Student Affairs,
said it perfectly when he told me that ‘‘the difference bet-
ween this year and last is not just in the student leaders
who organize and implement our activities, it’s in
everyone.” He added that his daily calendar is filled with
meetings with students who want to know what they can
do to help make our school better.
However, let’s not gloss over the efforts of the many
who since this summer are very much responsible for
creating this feeling of enthusiasm. Rich Schaffer and
Patty Salkin of SA, along with countless others, have
literally knocked the administration over with their en-
thusiasm and programming ideas. I believe SA's theme
this year is to reach out to all the elements and interests at
Albany, to draw on their strengths in order to benefit the
student body as a whole. This year's SA knows what they
want, and they know where to look: the students. And by
the way, most of these people are seniors, not sitting
home off campus getting fat watching MTV.
‘The story isn’t over yet. The reason why '84-'85 will be
very significant at SUNYA is because this enthusiasm in-
volves not only SA, but the administration, Residential
Life and the staff as well. It seems all have joined together
to make new and old students aware that Albany is a very
special place, You want more proof, I'll clue you in.
Diversity is the key here at Albany. Our campus is not
“‘dead"” in any sense, We're made up of 10 many diverse
elements and groups which play off cach other and
thereby enrich us all. You can't define Albany in one
word. Maybe that's what sets us apart from other
schools. It's this diversity which makes eating in the din-
ing halls or walking around the podium an educational
experience in and of itself,
‘The academic reputation of this school is solid, you
could look it up in any major guide-to-selecting-a-college-
book. We have nationally and internationally known pro-
fessors here, s0 we don't have to dispute the quality of
‘education that either our parents or we pay for.
Last year, I had the opportunity to have informal talks
with the parents of potential freshmen visiting the cam-
pus. I told them that I knew what the first question was
on their minds, ‘With a school of this size and with so
many students, how is my son or daughter going to be
more than just a social security number?"
I told those parents that we don’t pull freshmen by the
hand and sign them up to a group. At the very least, they
have to have something inside themselves which will
motivate themselves to be a part of Albany. And is it hard
to miss something? Have you ever seen an empty bulletin
board on the podium?
And what do you see? Interest meetings for Telethon
(the only student run telethon in the nation), WCDB,
SUNY-tunes, GALA, ASUBA, Intramurals, the Food
Co-op, Purple and Gold, the ASP, CSA and countless
others, all just as important, just as esséntial in making
Albany what it is. Lack of school spirit, come on!!!

phasize that we're not SA funded. We aré a reflection of
this university. :
The ASP comes out twice a week — Tuesdays and
Fridays. We print 10,000 issues each tir. The paper gets
distributed to all five quads, the campus center, all the
buildings on the podium and the Draper complex, and
certain stores downtown.
Our concern with life on and beyond campus takes
many forms — liberal, conservative, religious, atheist,
progressive — you name it. Whatever our beliefs, we
respect diversity and try to be a positive force in the
community.
We all share a certain journalistic dedication and drive-
to inform, enlighten, stimulate, provoke and sometimes
entertain our readers, We like the First Amendment, us-
ing the vote, and student activism.
In the end, we're just a bunch of students who've
found a place to do some living and learning outside our
classes, Just like you and everybody else, except maybe
that we never sleep.
Intersted? Our interest meeting is this Wednesday night,
7:30 p.m. in LC 2. Or just come on up and visit us in
Campus Center 329. Minority students are encouraged to
get involved. So is everybody else — we need people.
So, just how did Lisa Birnbach measure our school
spirit? Phil Johnson, SUNYA’s Director of Community
Relations, recently stated, ‘‘Lisa visited our campus this
spring, right at the end of exam time. I've never seen peo-
ple cheering for exams."’ Shame on you, Lisa! You miss-
ed Fountain Day, World Week, One-to-One Day, and
Telethon. You didn't see the crowds at the basketball
games and fierce rivalries we have with Ithaca, Potsdam,
and Binghamton.
Speaking of sports, Division III may not put us on TV,
but it sure doesn’t mean lesser quality athletes. Our men's
and women’s teams have won numerous honors and we
should be proud of the tradition.
Many of you might be asking, ‘Are you writing this as
& PR tool for SA, is someone pulling my strings?" No,
although my involvement in the affairs and activities of
this school is extensive and known, I submitted this piece
to the editor in the same way anyone else would.
Finally, last week I paid for my college ring. The price
was equivalent to 2/4 months rent. My dad advised me
that it might be a waste of money because if I go to a good
law school I'll want to buy one for that school as well.
Well Dad, that's true, but when I get my ring I'm going to
show it to everyone and I’m going to be damn proud to
wear it at 21 and at 71.
‘The Mets may not make the playoffs this year, but the

Poor advisement
To the Editor:
Having completed another add/drop week, I am
disturbed by a serious problem peculiar to this time
period — CUE (Center for Undergraduate Education)
and departmental advisors are more inaccessible than at
any other point in the semester.
CUE closes one hour for lunch during add/drop week,
yet it doesn't maintain this practice throughout the re-
mainder of the semester. For many students, lunch’ hour
is the only available time for them to meet with their ad-
visor, therefor they are subjected to unwarranted hassle,
Why can't CUE advisors skip lunch during this gemi-
annual week of great demand for their services? In the
“real world,” which we are supposedly being prepared
for, deadlines and seasonal demand require employees to
forego lunch hours and coffee breaks, as well as work ex-
tra hours. If CUE advisors find such a suggestion
unrealistic, then they should at least assent to staggered
lunch hours so that an advisor is always present. They
would probably counter, though, that students wouldn't
then meet with their assigned advisors, though any stu-
dent who has dealt with CUE during add/drop knows
that you see the next available advisor on many occa-
sions, even though he doesn’t have your records!
In regard to departmental advisors, many of them are
frequently out of the office attending meetings, teaching
class, and so on. The first week of the semester is burden-
some to begin with, but when a student is additionally re-
quired to continually seek out his advisor he is being dealt
an unfair deck of cards. Cognizant of the busy schedules
and numerous demands placed on departmental advisors,
most of whom teach, I suggest that all university depart-
ments adopt the approach taken by the English depart-
ment, English students requiring advisement report to an
English department advisement. office which is staffed
continuously by English department members. Such a
system allows students to quickly, and with significantly
less hassle, receive the assistance they need.
‘The greatest argument for a change in advisement dur-
ing add/drop is provided by the impending implementa-
tion of the ‘W"" drop policy. While the add date will be
extended by a few days, the drop date will be shortened
about six weeks. How can a student make a rational drop
decision, with the aid of his advisor should he so desire, if
his advisor is inaccessible? With only ten days to make
such a decision, advisor accessibility becomes an increas-

ingly important consideration. Here lies the real cause of
overregistration during preregistration (the impetus for
the ““W"" policy) — a student who anticipates add/drop
hasales overregisters, making the decision of which classes
to keep later on during the drop period, when the pro-
cedure is less hectic. Perhaps if advisors were readily
available during add/drop week students would sign up
for their required number of courses knowing that if a
change became necessary, he could do so with a minimum
of hassle, as well as with his advisor's guidance.

Complex problem
To the Editor:
The reason the 18-21 age group has the highest in-
cidence of drunk driving is because it is also the age
bracket having the greatest proportion of inexperienced
drivers, I know everyone has heard all the arguments
before (i.e. you can trust me with a gun at 18 but you
won't let me have a beer until I'm 21). It’s certainly a
tragedy for those people who have died because of drunk
driving but why not attack the real problem at hand?
That is driving!
Recent studies have shown (Science Digest 84) that dif-
ferent people are affected in varying degrees despite the
alcohol percentage in the blood, People who were over
the legal blood alcohol level performed driving tasks just
as efficiently as when they were straight. This, is not
meant to justify drunk driving by any means but it does
show that part of the problem lies with the driver and not
the drinker. Most young people get their drivers licenses
when they're 17 or 18. Along with this responsibility they
are subsequently allowed the priviledge of drinking. The
combination of the two is what causes the disasterous
resulis. Why not drop the driving age to 14? California
has done this in combination with a drinking age of 21
and the results have proven far more effective than what
is established now in N.Y, state. With this idea one can
see that the driver is no longer inexperienced when society
bestows on him that priviledge called the “‘social chug.”
““Matured’” people drink no less than younger people
do they just happen to drive a little better because they
have been on the road far longer. This letter is not writ-
tern to condone drinking but instead it is a reminder to
our legislators that their quick and easy solutions to com-
plex problems are not always so justified,
—Greg Stradtman
Women’s safety
To the Editor:
While it is right now difficult to imagine that there
could be greater problems here at SUNYA other than
registration, student accounts, adding, dropping, and
tracking down signitures, it is important that we quickly
become aware that greater problems do exist. I am speak-
ing mainly of safety on campus — particularly issues con-
cerning females’ safety on campus. Due to the depth and
seriousness of this matter, it is now among the forefront
of problems being addressed here at SUNYA.
Each year women are raped on campus — on the
podium, in the parking lots and in dorm rooms. Each
year there are still more cases of abused and assaulted
women. Each year there are numerous complaints of sex-
ual harassment and verbal abuse. These frightening,
threatening and violent crimes must be countered by
tougher punitive and preventive measures. Women’s safe-
ee
ty here is made still more precarious by the violent,
women-hating magazines sold in the
bookstore and the pornographic films shown in the lec»
ture centers. The permitted existence of such violent,
degrading and objectifying materials on campus can do
nothing to promote our safety here. ;
‘The administration has taken some serious and tangible
steps to heighten awareness of these issues and combat
campus safety problems. Such examples include the in-
stallation of emergency lights and phones and the Don’t
Walk Alone program. A President's Task Force on
‘Women’s Safety has also been established,
‘This President’s Task Force has worked energetically
for long, hard months to collaborate a three day event en-
titled Women’s Safety Awareriess Days. The ptogram in-
cludes speakers, panel discussions, workshops and films
which will cover all aspects of women’s safety — both on.
our campus and on our streets. The following deserve
very special mention: the workshop entitled ‘‘Women of
Color: Are Their Safety Issues Different?,’’ feminist
speaker and writer and author of the recent Minneapolis
anti-pornography ordinance, Andrea Dworkin, and two
very eyeopening and emotionally-stirring films, Not A
Love Story and Primal Fear.
Tt will all happen right here on campus starting
Wednesday, September 19 through Friday, September 21.
It's a great way for SUNYA to begin its school year; and
our participation — as students and faculty, as women
and men — is both a priviledge and a responsibility.
—Lisa Tennyson
President's Task Force on Women's Safety
Tickets available
To the Editor
In the September 14 issue of the ASP, Jim Fulton’s let-
ter to the editor entitled “Bus Fee Casualty”’ is one that
concerns me. The contention that the campus does not
sell tickets after hours at the information desk or
anywhere else is inaccurate, I am not so much concerned
about Jim's statement as I am that the University Com-
munity, particularly the students, are aware\that provi-
sion has been made for people who for one reason or
another have not obtained their bus tickets or coupons
during normal working hours,
We have endeavored to provide access to tickets or
coupons in extenuating circumstances and as a conve-
nience. In addition to the ticket booth staffed at the circle
. to 5:00 p.m., tickets can be purchased as
1. During hours of operations, each of the quad dining
rooms, the bookstore, the Campus Center Snack Bar, the
Vehicle Operations Center, Continuing Studies and the
Kumquat at the downtown campus sell bus tickets,
2, After 5:00 p.m. tickets may be purchased at the
University Public Safety Department building and in the
event that the student does not have the cash, there is an
emergency procedure in place to afford the student op-
portunity to ride the bus.
3, Both the bus drivers and the University Public Safety
Officers are sensitive to emergency and safety considera-
tions and are authorized to act in specific situations.
In summary, since the transportation charge has been
initiated we have been concerned with emergency situa-
tions and the plight of people who for whatever reason
found themselves without the necessary ticket or even
cash to ride a bus.

‘The presence of a health clinic on cam-
provides not only an “economy of
ne,” but also a financial savings for
students, because the infirmary charges
for prescription medications and
ergy shots, according to Brown.
Haffner estimated the cost of an over-
ight stay at an infirmary at $45 to $50.
ie price for a comparable visit to a
hospital would be $300 to $400, he said.
Services provided by health clinics are
‘more cost effective to students but not to
the (New York) state,"" responded Pam
Orzeshowski, spokesperson for Com-
Haffner expressed fears that “with
foudget cuts we'll end up with no infir-
Imaries,"” adding, ““You don’t teach young
people to maintain health by withdrawing
services.””
“We've cut our staff quite a bit over ten
years, It’s been an almost $0 percent
reduction,” lamented Brown. In response
to these cuts, the infirmary has had to
lbecome more efficient, he maintained.
“['d strongly resist any (further) cut-
backs,"” Brown asserted. ‘I'd like to build
back in a modest way,”” he added. A der-
matology clinic and a weight reduction
program are future goals for SUNYA’s in-
firmary said Brown.
Of the 30 State-operated colleges, 26
have health clinics. The total operating
cost of campus infirmaries was $6.2
million for the fiscal year ending March
31,1983, according to Regan’s office. Of
the total cost, 96 percent was funded by
the state, the report stated, with the re-
maining funds being drawn from student
fees,
‘The report also criticized SUNY for fail-
ing to establish a policy for physicians who
are “‘on call.”
According to Brown, full-time medical .
Personnel at the SUNYA infirmary work
in the infirmary building at least 25 hours
per week. The rest of the time they spend
‘on call” at home, he explained.
For every three hours of on call duty
they are paid the equivalent of one hours
work, continued Brown. This is the pro-
cedure used by hospitals throughout the
nation, he noted,
The auditors said that it appeared
“unclear whether health clinic physicians
can be paid for” on call hou
“You can't expect profes
to be on call and not be paid,
explained,
The report said that the decision concer-
ning on call hours should be made by
SUNY and other state agenci
those organizations felt that o1
was appropriate they should draw up a
policy for recording work performed by
physicians when they are not at the health
clinic,
The Comptroller's Office also recom-
mended that the ‘basic student health ser-
vices to be funded with State money
should be defined by SUNY.All other
“thealth services should be funded through
direct charges to students,” stated the
report,
Orzeshowski explained that all state
agencies are periodically audited. The
report, she noted, is “‘advisory in nature"*
and is not legally binding.
The head of the agency, however, must
report to the Governor, The Comptroller
and legislative leaders within 90 days after
the release of the report to say whether
recommendations have been implemented
or why they have not been according to the
State Executive Law. a

Reagan cuts hit colleges hard
a
Title IX prohibits federally-funded col-
leges from discriminating on the basis of
er.
Previous administrations forcefully re-,
‘quired schools that received any form of
federal funding to sign a statement verify-
ing that no school programs discriminated
on the basis of gender.
Reagan changed the policy, supporting
court cases that made only those campus
programs which directly got federal money
swear they didn’t discriminate.
The administration also proposed to
begin granting tax exemptions to schools
that discriminate on the basis of race.
The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately ap-
proved Reagan's Title 1X position, but
upheld the Internal Revenue Service's right
to deny tax exemptions to discriminatory
schools,
‘At the same time, the administration
supported efforts to take away faculty tax
exemptions on job benefits like tuition
breaks for their families and campus hous-
ing, noted Iris Molotsky of the American
Association of University Professors
(AAUP).
Students, USSA's Ozer adds, have had
“very little input” in federal policies since
Reagan took office.
“Reagan's approach to education has
been more on issues of prayer in school or
discipline than on substantive issues like
access, quality, and funding," Molotsky
said.
‘Administrators, too, complain the presi-
dent has done little good for higher educa-
tion in the last four years.
“We had hopes that the administration,
siven its rhetoric, would have been more
responsive in making regulations less
burdensome,"” said American Council on
Education spokesman Larry Zaglaniczny.
“Instead there's a lot more,” he said,
because of new requirements for students
to prove they've registered for the draft,
income statements, and needs tests that
must now be filed with financial aid forms,
Other higher education officials are
more neutral in their assessment of
Reagan's performace.
“We've simply been too overwhelmed
with state funding cuts and impositions
that we really haven't noticed many of the
effects from Reagan,” said Art Martinez,
president of Orange Coast Community
College in California.
Federal aid cuts, for instance, “'haven’t
really affected us because up until this year
fees and tuition were free for state
residents," he explained. fa}

(Can a new coach, with a new strategy,
take a new team and turn it into a new
powerhouse? The drama unfolds as the
curtain rises on the 1984 campaign of the
Albany State women’s tennis team,
Coach Jim Serbalik returns for the fall
semester to become the Danes’ fourth
coach since nineteen-year mainstay Peggy
Mann left. However, Serbalik is no
stranger to the women’s tennis program,
Two years ago, Serbalik was the coach
before he took ovet the men’s tennis pro-

Lewis who was then suffering from a back
injury.
The 1984 Dane netwomen are led by
number one singles Deb Leffe who has
brought a good, positive attitude after two
years of personal yroblems that have
hampered her career.
‘Sophomore Betsy Aronin has taken over
the number two singles and an ambitious
Gerri Chiodo handles the number three
singles. This trio will have large shoes to
fill as they replace longtime Dane stars
Joan Phillips, Mindy Hartstein, and
Lauren Isaacs,
Coach Serbalik says optimisticly,
“Although they may not have as much ex-
perience as them [Phillips, Hartstein,
Isaacs}, I really feel they have as much
talent ‘and desire to overcome being
green.”
Returning to round out the singles are
number four Helene Tishler, number five
Ellen Yun, and number six Nancy Tarbes,
Seniors Tishler and Yun bring three years
of experience each. That combined with
solid consistent play, should provide depth
to a small squad. Standing by to fill in at

Albany State's severe case of
“‘famble-itis”’ suffered in their 24-7
demise at New Haven served as only a
distraction to the Great Danes’ real pro-
blem at hand. What Head Coach Bob
Ford and his staff are facing is a situation
where they must try to solve a huge
quarterback dilemna that might haye no
solution,
It became painfully apparent in Coach
Ford's eyes, during the New Haven defeat,
that sophomore Anthony Nozzi was not
the cure for the Dane quarterback woes,
Nozzi failed to move the Danes into enemy
territory in his 41 minutes of action, Ford
lifted him with four minutes remaining in
the third quarter with Albany trailing
24 - 7 in favor of Jeff Russell, a freshman
from Linton High School in Schenectady.
‘Though Russell also failed to put points on
the board, he impressed the coach enough
to be named the starting quarterback
against Brockport.
“{ think Russell made more things hap-
pen in a postive way,”’ said Ford. ‘Our of-
fense was non-existent in the first half,
When you're not moving the ball, you got
to look at the quarterback, just like if the.
Albany football team doesn’t win, the
president of the University looks at me."”
Actually the Danes, in their first half,
had more trouble holding onto the football
than moving it, On their first five posses-
sions of the contest, Albany fumbled away
the ball a perfect five times, (they hed 10
turnovers in all), which led to all three of
the Chargers’ first half scores — two
touchdowns and a field goal. It seemed
that the Great Danes’ defense was on the
field more than the referees. The first
possession in which the Danes managed
not to fumble away came with six minutes
left in the half, Instead of turning the ball
over, they miraculously reached fourth
down and were able to punt,
‘At gametime, the sky was gray and the
steady rainfall had turned New Haven’s
Dodds Field into a wet and muddy mess.
But Ford would not accept that excuse for
Alban: ballhandling.
“The grounds were just as wet for both
sides,"” said Ford, but they (Chargers)
didn’t turn it over the first five times they
had the ball.’”
“ The Danes’ case of ‘‘fumbleitis”’ started
‘on their fourth play of the game when
halfback Dana Melvin caught a Nozzi pass
over the middie but lost control of the ball
on contact with a Charger cornerback.
“On the previous play,”’ said Melvin,
was on a blocking assignment and my
hands fell into mud. I didn’t have a chance
to get a towel so my hands were mudd)
New Haven took over at the Danes’ 44.
Four plays later on third and eight at the
26, quarterback Paul Kelley whipped a
bullet screen pass on the sideline to Jesse
Cuger, who. made one nifty deke and
scooted his way inches shy of a first down.
On fourth, Michael Murphy plowed right
to barely cross the first down marker.
‘A 17-yard Kelly scramble set up first and
goal at the three where Greg Ortman
found a gaping hole and’ glided into the
end zone on his feet.
‘The next Charger score was set up by a
sloppy exchange between Nozzi and runn-
ing back Dave Soldini, Starting from the
Albany 27, New Haven paced its way
down to the nine where Tom Holmes
booted a 25-yarder.
‘A Nozzi fumble provided the Chargers’
final score of the first half. This time their
field position was the Albany 37. It took
seven plays before the Chargers lifted their
lead to 17-0 ona 1-yard keeper by Kelly

ASOCATE ORTS EDVTOR
The Albany State men’s tennis team made their first
appearance at RPI’s third annual tennis tournament a
memorable one as the Danes took the eight-team tourna-
ment by scoring victories over Springfield College,
Williams and Clark,
‘The tournament was to be one of high caliber, but the
late withdrawals of Vermont, the University of Buffalo,
and defending champion MIT removed much of Albany’s
competition,
“It was good for us to get some tournament ex-
perience,” said Albany Head Coach Bob Lewis.
“Overall, the quality of the tournament wasn't very.
‘good, but we got some competition.”
‘Competition did not come in the form of Springfield,
the Danes’ first opponent. Due to rainy conditions,
‘Saturday's matches were held indoors at Capitaland Rac-
quet Club, Because of time limitations, the match against
Springfield was stopped once Albany clinched the vic-
tory, 5-1.
Tom Schmitz, Jay Bisenberg, Mike Dermansky, Mitch
Gerber and Dave Zobler won in singles, making the
doubles matches unnecessary. Dave Grossman lost in
three sets to account for the only Springfield point.
Williams provided the Danes with their toughest match
of the tournament, losing 5-4, The match was tied at four
with the deciding third doubles match yet to be played.
The combination of Zobler and Gerber came through and
defeated Hart Hodges and Rob Minean in a pro-set, 8-5,
‘There was a lot of pressure on thrm,"’ said Lewis.
“Both players are relatively new to the team; they did a
fine job,
Grossman defeated Kevin Callanan, 6-2, 6-4; Schmitz
beat Dan Shore by the identical score; Eisenberg fell to
Chris Myers, 7-6, 6-4; Dermansky beat Hodges, 6-2, 6-
Gerber extended Jan Hietmueller to three sets before los-
ing 6-2, 5-1, 6-2; Zobler took Rob Minean in straight sets,
6-3, 6-1. The first doubles team of Grossman and Schmitz
fell to Callahan and Shore, 6-2, 7-5; the second doubles
team lost to Myers and Hietmuueller, 6-2, 6-3.
Albany's opponent in the finals on Sunday was Clark
University, a team expected to give the Danes some trou-
ble. The final score was 7-2, Albany. Trouble?
Grossman lost to Roger Stern, 5-5 (default) and
Schmitz fell to Josh Weimmen, 6-4, 6-3. According to
RPI Head coach Steve Koosman, you don’t win matches
with your top two players.
“I've always treated Albany with respect,” said
Koosman, ‘Their strength is in their depth; numbers
four, five and six singles, number two and three doubles
— that’s where you win matches,”
Eisenberg defeated Santiago Guzman, 6-2, 6-2; Der-
mansky beat Ben Ungar, 6-1, 6-3; Gerber topped Mark
Scott, 6-1, 6-0; and Zobler took Matthews, 6-4, 6-1.
Zobler was filling in throughout the tournament for an
injured Mark Sanders, and was the outstanding player of
the tournament, according to Lewis,
‘I am really pleased with his play,"’ said Lewis. “He
didn't lose any of his matches, singles or doubles, and
didn’t even lose a set. He's earned another challenge
match against Sanders,
In doubles, Grossman and Schmitz defeated Stern and

“In the pornography being produced in this country right

City investigating ‘student ghetto’ housing conditions
By Jane Anderson
ASSOCIATH NEWS EDITOR
Off-campus students living with more than wo
other people could be faced with eviction, if Albany
opts for stricter enforcement of a zoning ordinance
known as the “grouper law", city officials said
Wednesday.
The city is currently looking at stricter enforce-
ment of the Albany “grouper law’? as a possible
solution to problems cited by homeowners in the
Pine Hills “‘student ghetto"? area, according to
Mike Alvaro, acting director for Code Enforce
ment. The ordinance states that no more than thre
unrelated people.may occupy a rental unit at one
time.
Residents in the Pine Hills area have said that
‘lifestyle conflicts’? cause differenes of opinion
between homeowners and students. Some
homeowners have complained that problems with
parking, litter, noise, and deterioration of rented
houses, are destroying the character of th
neighborhood.
The city’s Code Enforcement Bureau is ‘tin the
process of trying to nail down the status of student
housing’ in Albany, said Karlen Karlson, director
of the Off-Campus Housing Office.
“*A lot of student apartments are being visited,”
Karlson reported,
Alvaro said that inspectors would be canvassing
neighborhoods within the next five or six weeks to
gather information for further study by City Hall,
and threatened that eviction of some tenants living
in violation of the “grouper law’ is “always a

Many students said they were not informed of the
law when they moved into their houses.

being discussed, but declined to mention speci

area,
sketchily bordered by Washington, New S
North Lake, and North Allen Avenues.
In the past, the city has not rigidly enforced the
“(grouper law’’, apparently leading many landlords
to rent apartments to more than three unrelated
people at one time, ‘
Lack of enforcement of the ‘grouper law", has,
rding to city officials, led to the overall
egeneration of housing in the city,
Total enforcement of the ‘grouper law" or-
dinance would cause over 1000, students to be
displaced, said Karlson, who contended that ‘there
simply isn't”” enough housing available to absorb
these students, Albany currently has a vacancy rate
of less than (wo percent.
“We're not looking to throw anyone out,” main-
tained Alvaro, adding, however, that “if people are
living in violation of the law there is always a
possibility” of evictions occurring.
SA Vice President Suzy Auletta said the inspec-
tors will target buildings that are “obviously stu-
dent houses."
“Community people aren't happy," said Aulet-
ta, “They want the law enforced, They're putting
pressure on the city,"” she said,
She cited problems with garbage and parking as
reasons for the pressure on the city government to
“do someth
“I's a general displeasure with people in
general’ that is causing homeowners to complain,
asserted Alvaro, “It's not just students,” he added,
“We're concerned with the density of individuals
in our neighborhood," said Pine Hills
Neighborhood Association President Bill Phillips,
contending, “there's no simple solution to the
problem.”
Phillips said that he was in favor of “selective en-
forcement’ of the grouper ordinance wherever a
house in violation becomes a problem.
“We want the residential character (of the area)
intained,"” he said.
“There is a good portion of the students that we
don't have trouble with,” said Alvaro.
Karlson said she didn’t think the city government
would make any major changes in policy towards
the grouper law'’ and student housing this year,
She said she believes that, if changes are made,
students will have time to plan accordingly.
