Rising dorm vandalism linked to alcohol abuse
By Evan Weissman
STAFF WRITER
Vandalism in residence halls has risen
sharply this semester, and university of-
ficials have linked this trend to alcohol
abuse.
During September, 42 acts of vandalism
were reported, as opposed to 30 last
September, according to Director of
Public Safety James Williams.
“Most of these offenses occur when
people drink to excess and when [they are]
sober [they] are sorry for what they had
done,”’ Williams said.
according to Dennis Stevens, assistant
vice president for the physical plant, most
vandalism is aimed at fire safety equip-
ment such as fire alarms, fire ex-
tinguishers, and smoke detectors. Dorm
furnishings, such as windows, have also
been damaged, he said.
Most vandalism, Williams said, is caus-
ed by ‘‘students and outsiders. One out-
sider was arrested last weekend for setting
off a fire extinguisher.”’
The University’s new alcohol policy has
not had any effect on the incidence of van-
dalism, said Stevens. ‘‘We’ve had van-
dalism both before and after [the policy].
There is‘no corroboration.”’
Stevens said that the only way vandalism
can be stopped is for students and resident
assistants to curtail alcohol abuse in their
dorms.
‘People see those who write graffiti or
pull the fire alarms, but they don’t report
them,” he said.
“There is no pressure put on them [van-
dals] by other students that these acts
won’t be tolerated,” said Stevens. ‘‘I’d be
concerned if I were a resident.”
According to Stevens, Colonial and
State Quads have had the highest incidence
of vandalism to fire safety equipment. As
of Sept. 18, Colonial had 18 false alarms
and State had 15, while Indian had only
two-and Dutch had none.
Stevens cited Dutch as an example of the
“student awareness’? which he feels
prevents vandalism. ‘‘There was no pro-
blem on Dutch,”’ he said. z
Assistant Vice President for Residential
Life John Martone said he has seen an in-
crease in the number of suites on campus
that are being “‘trashed’’ with excessive
garbage.
However, Martone said it is too early to
tell if the increase is substantial and
whether it relates to either ‘21’ or the
University alcohol policy adopted on Dec.
1, 1985.
While vandalism in the dorms seems to.
be on the rise, damage to property on the
podium and in the Campus Center has
dropped off recently, according to Direc-
tor of Campus Life James Doellefeld.
‘There has been an observed decrease in
Campus Center vandalism,’’ said
Doellefeld.
Doellefeld attributed this trend to a
decrease in alcohol consumption in the
Campus Center. ‘There has been a
decrease in business in the Rathskellar and
in events at the Ballroom where alcohol is
served,” he said.
“Over the past several years,” said
Doellefeld, ‘‘there have been three or four
instances in which posters have been burn-
ed, most occuring around the library.”” (1

According to Facilities Coor-
dinator Jon VanDerpoel, “The
target date for starting construc-
tion will be Oct. 7 for the uptown
campus and Oct. 11 for Alumni
Quadrangle.”
The $142,465 project, to be
completed by Callahan Industries
of South Bethlehem, includes
resurfacing the entire length of
State Street near Alumni Quad,
which VanDerpoel described as
‘one of the worst areas...[State
Street] is in-terrible shape.”
The project will also involve the
resurfacing of the bus stop across
from Public Safety on the uptown
campus, some roads in front of
Dutch Quad, a section of
Perimeter Road located between
Washington Avenue and State
Quad, and the circular road that
connects the halls on Alumni
Quad.
“There may be some small in-
conveniences along the way, but
the end result will be well worth
it,” VanDerpoel said.
According to VanDerpoel, with
the exception of State Street, the
construction should not require
any roads to be closed. “If we
can, we are going to try to [only]
effect one-way traffic,’’said
VanDerpoel. State Street may
have to be closed off temporarily,
VanDerpoel added.
“Considering the wear and tear
over the years, [University roads]
haven’t done too bad-
ly,”’'VanDerpoel said. However,
there are certain sections that are
in need of repair. These are the
ones that we are addressing at this
time,” he said.
VanDerpoel acknowledged that
there are areas on Perimeter Road
that need repair that are not in-
cluded in this project. “‘We are
not able to do all areas with the
funding available,’’he said.
VanDerpoel added that certain
areas were given priority and that

VanDerpoel said that SUNY

will be done pending administra-
tion approval, he said.
The roads, for the amount of
use they get are in excellent
shape,”’said Public Safety Capt.
Tom Graham. Graham also said
there are a few areas on campus
that ‘‘would take major repair.’”
Both Graham and VanDerpoel
said they feel campus roads are
safe despite the potholes. VanDer-
poel said that he doesn’t “‘think
that there are any [roads] that are
dangerous...just inconvenient,’”
Graham said that he knew of
no accidents caused by the road
conditions ‘‘other then the fact
that -people have blown

obey the 30 mile an hour speed

Activists arrested
Sydney, Australia
(AP) Police armed with chaincutters ar-
rested two Greenpeace environmentalists
who padlocked themselves to the roof of
the Sydney Opera house Thursday to pro-
test French nuclear testing.
After securing themselves with a
padlock and chain to a rail running atop
the sloping marble roof, the pair unfurled
a huge banner opposing French nuclear
testing in the South Pacific and the arrival
of a French frigate for the
Australian Navy’s 75th birthday
celebrations.
The ship, Commandant Blaisonk
patrols the French nuclear test site on
Mururoa Atoll in French Polynesia. It ar-
rived Wednesday from its base in: New
Caledonia, the largest French possession in
the South Pacific.
Police used an internal staircase to reach
the protesters, who were 175 feet above
street level, and cut through their chains.
Both were charged with trespassing.

Royal’
summit in Iceland was prepared over the

and U.S. - Soviet relations.
There is considerably less optimism,
however, that headway will be made in the
two other categories: human rights and
Third World conflicts.
“They don’t like to hear about it, ’’ a
U.S. official said Wednesday of persistent
American pleas for better treatment of
Soviet citizens. ‘But at least they know
they’ve got to listen.”
Despite distractions over the case of
American reporter Nicholas Daniloff, the
two-day meeting Secretary of State George
P. Shultz held here Sept 19-20 with Soviet
Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze
confitmed the impression there was a basis
to go ahead with the mini-summit in
Reykjavik.
Veto override seen

| African sanctions despite last-minute calls
by the chief executive and Foreign Minister
R.F. Botha’s long-distance lobbying with
several senators.
As the senate neared a late afternoon
vote to override the veto, Minority Leader
Robert Byrd told reporters, ‘‘The presi-
dent’s going to take a defeat on’ South

The Democrats’ whip, Sen. Alan

Zaccaro indicted
New York
(AP) A Queens grand jury investigating
bribery allegations in the awarding of
cable television franchises has indicted
John Zaccaro, husband of former vice-
presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro,
his lawyer says. "
Robert Morvillo, the attorney for the
Queens businessman, who deals in real
estate, said the indictment was ‘‘a fact.’”
The investigation of Zaccaro reportedly
focuses on allegations that he introduced
cable television executives to former
Queens Borough President-Donald Manes
in 1981 and later asked the company for a
$1 million fee to secure a cable contract.
Investigation ordered
New York
(AP) The state attorney general says he has
ordered an investigation of alleged

But a utility building the plant and the

it say. they have seen no sign of any state
investigators on the case.
Attorney General Robert Abrams on
Tuesday told the editorial boards of the
Syracuse Newspapers that a series of
stories that appeared in the Herald
American and Herald-Journal in August
prompted him to order an investigation by
the State Organized Crime Task Force last
month.

O’Leary grants $10K
In order to generate campus-wide
ideas to implement affirmative action,
President O’Leary is providing $10,000
for a program of competitive grants,
said Gloria DeSole, director of the affir-
mative action office.
Suggestions for grants are being
sought for programs which would
recruit, retain, and support minorites at
SUNYA, said DeSole.
“This year’s emphasis is on diversify-
ing SUNYA according to black students
and faculty, but’ consideration will be
given to any proposal that forwards af-
firmative action in any area of the
University,”’ said DeSole.
“Grants will range from $500 to
$1,000, The number of grants awarded
depends on the amount of each grant re-
quested,” said DeSole, adding that the
purpose of this program is to enourage
individuals campus-wide to decide what
would help us to achieve our affirmative
action goals.””
Yearbooks for less
An arrangement allowing seniors to
purchase Torch ’87, SUNYA’s year-
book, at a discount is being proposed in
an effort to increase sales next year.
Kenny Kirsch, editor of Torch ’87,
came up with a proposal which gives
seniors a chance to buy their yearbooks
for $10, under the condition that they
do so when their senior* portraits are
taken.
More students will be encouraged to
buy yearbooks when they realize their
picture will be inside, said Kirsch. “The
idea is to get more yearbook sales, and,
I’m hoping this will do that,”*he said.
Torch ’86 cost $12 per book, and sales
were down from the year before.
The proposal is’ presently being
discussed by Central Council.
Fallfest draws 350
Last Sunday night’s Fallfest was not
the success that University Concert
Board (UCB) expected it would be.

UCB President Larry Fox.
Fox, who would not comment on the
amount of money made or lost by the
event, only said the show ‘‘was not bad,
but not as well as expected.”’
The concert was never considered as a
huge show to UCB, said Fox, adding
that Southside Johnny and the Jukes
have normally performed before small
crowds.
This year’s Fallfest was the first to be
held indoors, and for the first time,
tickets were sold in order to raise funds.

ference entitled ‘‘Information is

According to HESC President Dr.

college financial aid administrators,
bank student loan officers, and others
concerned about access to higher
education. Sh
Special presentations will be given by
Edward B. Fiske, education editor for
the New York Times, and Nathan
Quinones, Chancellor of the New York
City Board of Education.
“This event will link the pre-college,
higher education, and financial aid com-
munities with the broader community to
ensure the optimal delivery of student
financial aid information to New
York’s diverse groups of current and
prospective students,’’Cross said.

Martone addresses dorm-related
concerns at Colonial Quad forum
By Bill Jacob
NEWS EDITOR
Confiscation of fake IDs , the Univer-
sity’s judicial referral system, and articles
thrown from tower windows were some of
the topics discussed Tuesday night when
Residential Life Director John Martone
spoke at an open forum on Colonial Quad.
Only ten students, four of whom were
members of Colonial Quad Board, par-
ticipated in the informal discussion held in
the quad cafeteria.
Colonial Quad Board sponsored the
event in order to have students’ concerns
directly addressed by an administrator.
“You really just read about these people
and a lot of people have questions about
how they work,’ said Colonial Quad
Board President Jay Fakterowitz.
Seated in a circle with the students, Mar-
tone explained how last year’s backlog of
referrals are being carried over to this
semester. Students also asked general
questions about testimony at judicial hear-
ings and about the process through which
a student can ‘‘plead guilty’? by ‘‘mutual
consent’? and forgo a hearing before a
judicial board.
Last week’s apprehension of an Alumni
Quad resident for making false IDs pro-
mpted students to ask Martone about
public safety officers’ authority to con-
fiscate IDs.
Martone explained that fake IDs can on-
ly be searched for by public safety officers
who have just cause to believe a student
has one in his or her possession, as was the
case on Alumni Quad. ,
Martone also answered questions on in-
creased housing, relocation of students in
mid-semester, and on whether an RA has
the ‘‘right to go through stuff in a room.”
When asked about the newly installed
fire alarms on campus, Martone said that
students should talk to other students
about vandalism and false alarms.
Residential Life is also aware of the pro-
blem of students throwing objects out of
tower windows, Martone said. Cases are
usually referred to judicial boards with the
recommendation that those involved
receive a temporary suspension.
Colonial Quad Board Vice President
Steve Harrison described attendance as ‘“‘a
little slim.’? But, according to Martone,
“If there’s no galvanizing issue, you’re not
going to get that many people down.””
Harrison cited late and inadequate
advertising as the main reasons why atten-
dance was low.
Colonial Quad Board is planning to br-
ing other University administrators to the
quad this semester, Fakterowitz said.
Univeristy President Vincent O’Leary,
Vice President of Student Affairs Frank
Pogue, and University Auxiliary Services
General Manager E. Norbert Zahm are
among those Fakterowitz said he would
like to see address student questions.
Although attendance at the event was
minimal, Fakterowitz seemed optimistic
about future speakers. “‘Even if a few peo-
ple get to meet whoever we bring, they'll
spread the word on,” he said. Oo
New alcohol
committee to
meet Tuesday
By Harvard Winters
STAFF WRITER
Alcohol consumption and its effect
on the University will be the topic of
discussion when the University Alcohol
Committee meets for the first time
Tuesday.
The committee was formed as a result
of arecommendation made last October
by the “Implementation of 21” commit-
tee to Vice President of Student Affairs
Frank Pogue.
According to Director of Campus
Life James Doellefeld, the committee
‘will contribute to airing issues and
points of view regarding the consump-
tion of alcohol at SUNYA.””
The committee will consist of five
students, six staff members, and
Doellefeld, who will chair the committee
and report to Pogue, Doellefeld said.
Committee members were selected by
Pogue, who sent out invitations to sit on
the committee last semester, said
Doellefeld, who refused to name the
members.
Pogue said the committee’s main
function will be to uncover alcohol pro-
blems on campus and develop brochures
and awareness seminars to inform
students about alcohol abuse and
related problems.
Pogue said that the committee will
not be used as a vehicle to enforce the
current drinking-age law.
“This is not a police state. No one is
going to walk around searching out
violators of alcohol policy,’’ he said.
However, Pogue said that if violators
are observed, they will be politely advis-
ed to adhere to the alcohol policy.
“The University is prepared and
obligated to enforce the law,”” Pogue
said, but added the committee will not
be used for that purpose. Rather, it will
only be used for policy
recommendations.
“The overconsumption [of alcohol] is
increasingly a concern of university
campuses,’’ said Pogue.
“‘When students get to us, most have
been introduced to alcohol ... To
change that value, education is the best
approach,” he added.
Doellefeld said the committee’s objec-
tives during the first meeting will be to
introduce the members and solicit their
feedback concerning alcohol on
campus.
Although the new committee is not
responsible for enforcing university
alcohol policy’s banning of bulk alcohol
containers, some students said the new
policy is already being strictly enforced.

Students lobby for voting rights
By Duncan Shaw
Student rights groups, lobbyists, and at-
torneys are preparing for a lengthy battle
to dismantle what they consider
discriminatory state legislation regarding
student voting rights.
The current law, which was amended in
1971, states that permanent residency is a
requirement for an individual to vote in a
given area. County election boards have
been given the power to decide what ‘‘per-
manent residency”’ is, and students living
in dorms have been declared ineligible to
vote on campus.
According to Everette Joseph, president
of|the Student Association of the State
University (SASU), the present. student
voting laws are ‘“‘pure discrimination —
it’s apartheid.’’
“*New York and Alaska are the only two
states that follow this policy in the coun-
try,” said Joseph.
Adine Schuman, SASU communica-
SASU’s Adine Schuman
election boards to determine permanent
residency include information concerning
“car registration, age, income tax forms,
employment, and residence of parents.”
According to Schuman, election of-
ficials have written letters denying voting
privileges to students living in college dor-
mitories. ‘Students are living on campus
MIKE ACKERMAN UPS
and in dorms nine through 12 months of
the year,”’ said Schuman, adding, “‘Some
are paying property and income taxes.
They have a right to vote under these
circumstances.””
“‘SASU is trying to raise the awareness
of the people this issue involves and to
hopefully mobilize the people who can
vote,” said Schuman.
Steven Lafever, public relations director
for the Albany County Election Board,
said ‘‘We’re really neutral on the issue. We
are just respecting the current legislation
and the law. If the legislation was changed,
we would act accordingly.’”
According to Lafever, the local board of
elections takes every individual on a case-
by-case basis and the board of elections
“can take everything into account in deter-
mining whether or not an individual is
eligible to vote.””

Sororities struggle with frats for
share of campus greek limelight
By Michelle Tenam
STAFF WRITER
Sororities, while less visible
than fraternities, are making their
presence known on and off cam-
pus as they increase both their
membership and activism.
In the past three years, SUNYA
has seen a dramatic growth of
greek organizations and at pre-
sent there are nine sororities and
16 fraternities recognized by the
Office of Campus Life.
According to sorority Alpha
Epsilon Phi President Heller
Sachs, there are several reasons
why fraternities have received
more recognition that sororities.
“‘Frats appeared on campus
first and are better known by the
students, plus they advertise their
events far more than sororities,”’
she said.
The president of the fraternity
Tau Kappa Epsilon, Kevin Allen,
attributed the visibility of frater-
nities to the fact that there are
many more members of frats than
sororities. ‘‘There’s strength in
numbers,”’ he said.
Sororities average an initiation
of 12 members per semester com-
pared to 15 for frats, and there
are alinost twice as many frats
than sororities.
Sorority presidents were eager
to point out that they do not feel
overshadowed by fraternities, but
most felt that fraternities receive a
great deal more recognition for
their services.
“We would like the community
to know we are here, and here to
help the human condition,” said
Zeta Phi Beta President Cheryl
Pemberton.
According to Sachs, a recent
example of the lack of publicity
for sororities occurred at the
building of a community
playground.
“Tt is unknown by most people
on campus,”’ she said, ‘‘but the
sororities took an equal share in
helping build the playground at
Albany Public School 16, and yet
the frats got all the publicity.””
Most sorority presidents cited
community service and social in-
teraction as the two main goals of
their organizations.
“We are taking part in a blood
mobile in October along with
other sororities,” said Leslie
Berkoff, president of Psi
Gamma.
“We will be helping out at a
stable in the upstate area, where
we will be working with handicap-
ped children,” said Berkoff, ad-
ding, ‘“‘We are also having a
clothes drives to raise funds for
needy kids.””
Delta Psi Chi President Jill
Cohen said her sorority plans to
participate in the upcoming blood
drive.
“We are also sponsoring a
philanthropic event to raise
money for the Karen Wilson
Missing Child Fund,” said
Cohen.
SUNYA senior Karen Wilson
has been missing since May 18,
1985 when she was last seen walk-
ing on Fuller Road in Albany.
According to Cohen, social life
and school spirit also play a big
role in sorority life. “We started
our sorority to increase the social
life for our girls on campus.””
Sachs agreed that sororities
serve both academic and social
aspects. ‘‘Sororities are a type of
group where people have an op-
portunity to get close to people.
There are social aspects,’’ she
said, ‘but there are academic
ones too.””
“We have our own test banks
and we require our girls to attend
study hours,”’ said Sachs.
Pemberton explained the secret
to picking the right sorority.
“You choose an organization that
suits your personality.’’
Steve Noel, president of Pi
Lambda Phi said, “Sororities are
great. They add a different level
to the Greek community.” [7

_ Greencastle, Ind.
(AP) It was a radical idea in its day,
independent-thinking women starting a fraterni-
ty for women. More than a century later, though,
it’s considered the start of a tradition.
Kappa Alpha Theta, which proudly boasts of
being ‘‘the first Greek-letter fraternity known
among women,”’was founded in 1870 at Asbury
University, now DePauw. The oldest sorority in
the nation, the Thetas have grown from the four
women who started the first, or ‘‘alpha,”’
chapter to 127,000 members and 108 chapters in
the United States and Canada.
“] think there’s a great deal of pride just being
a Theta,’’said Sue Supple of Indianapolis, the in-
ternational president. ‘‘I’m extremely proud to
be from alpha chapter.” ~
The Theta membership includes Sen. Nancy
Landon Kassebaum of Kansas, actress Marlo
Thomas, singer Amy Grant, author Kate Millett
and 12,000 undergraduates. They trace their
fraternity heritage to Bettie Locke Hamilton,
who spurned the idea of wearing a male friend’s
fraternity pin if she could not belong to the group
herself.
When her search for an existing fraternity for
women failed, her father, an Asbury professor,
encouraged her to start her own. After initiating
herself before a mirror on Jan. 27, 1870, she then
inducted three other women.
“*She was a very brave, ingenious
woman,”’said Catherine Tillotson McCord, 89,
who was initiated into the alpha chapter by Mrs.
Hamilton in 1915.
“There were so few girls on the campus. They
were just admitted [to Asbury in 1867], and they
were shunned because the fellas didn’t like the
idea of girls on campus,’’McCord said.
McCord, the daughter of a Methodist minister
from Lafayette, decided early in her life she
would pledge a sorority and selected the Thetas
after learning that an older acquaintance was a
member.
“‘T had always supposed I would belong to one
and picked out Theta when I was in the sixth
grade,’’she said. ‘‘And I never gave it up, never
gave up the idea I wanted to be a Theta.””
After graduation, McCord took a job as a
cashier with the university and stayed in
Greencastle.
“That put me right here on campus, with the
girls,’’she said.‘‘For 62 years I have initiated all
of the girls in the Theta chapter.’”
From the national level, the sorority has en-
dowed DePauw with a collection of 1,500 books
written by or about outstanding women. Since
1946, it has also given $1 million to the Institute
for Logopedics in Wichita, Kan., which treats
people with speech and hearing handicaps.
The friendship that bonds Theta women,
however, is probably their strongest link: Bar-
bara Lane, who’s just resigned as national con-
ference chairwoman, graduated from Purdue in
1967 and now manages a children’s clothing store
in Greencastle, where she also heads historic
restoration efforts.
“It’s a wonderful way to meet people when
you go to anew city,”’ Lane said. Oo

Treasurers’ exams snag some group budgets
By Elisa Brenman
and Nicole Nogid
Several organizations have had their
budgets frozen by Student Association
because their treasurers failed to either
pass or take a newly required “minimum
competency exam.’’
The exams, designed to familiarize
treasurers with SA’s financial policy and
voucher system, were retaken by the two
treasurers who failed and the hold placed
on their group’s funds has been released,
said SA Comptroller Agnes Seminara.
According to Seminara, the new require-
ment was ‘needed to know which SA-
funded groups are still active and function-

ing.’ Several ‘‘dead groups’’ often need
help getting organized and when they fail
to take the exams, SA can identify and at-
tempt to rejuvenate the group, she said.
The 28-question exam required a passing
score of 20 and was comprised of informa-
tion from three pamphlets: the financial
policy of the SA Constitution, a
treasurer’s packet, and a memo outlining
the general responsibilities of a treasurer.
The first exam was held Sept. 15 and
retests were scheduled on an individual
basis. Of the 80 SA-funded groups, 15_
treasurers failed to show up, four had
valid excuses, and two failed, according to
Seminara.
The retests are given as soon as possible
in order to ‘‘give the opportunity for
groups’ [funds] not to be held up,”’ said
Contact Office Manager Ivi Leetima.
Leetima, who helped formulate the ex-
am, and Seminara estimated that 15 to 18
groups have had their budgets frozen as a
result of the new financial policy.
Seminara would not comment on which
groups had their budgets frozen.
According to Leetima, the exams were
basic overviews of where funds come from
and the process by which they are
allocated.
“Tt wasn’t implemented to test anyone
on their arithmetic or know the finance
policy back and forth,’’ said Leetima. ‘It
attempted to re-emphasize the important

aspects of being a treasurer,”’ she said.
SA’s financial policy was changed last
semester after review by Central Council’s
Internal Affairs committee and finance
committee.
According to Bill McCann, last year’s
Central Council Chair, the financial policy
was updated to make it ‘‘more binding’
and add ‘‘more power of enforcement.’”
Because of SA’s problems with
overspending last year, McCann said Cen-
tral Council wanted to ‘‘make sure
{treasurers] had a grasp’ of the policy.”
“From past experience, [Council] knew
that a lot of the treasurers didn’t know
like filling out vouchers,”’ said Leetima.
SA hopes to impress upon SA-funded
organizations the need for tighter financial
control by groups, said Leetima. “‘Agnes
has done a great job in relating to the
groups and in improving their finances,’’
she added.
According to Indian Quad Board
Treasurer Dave Tassone, ‘‘The exam was
fair and straightforward. If you read the
material, you covld pass the test.’”
“I really think the exam is a good idea,”
Tassone said. “‘I know a lot more about
being treasurer now than I did before stu-
dying for the test. 1 wouldn’t have known
those things before.’”
According to Tassone, the information
in the pamphlets included factual informa-
tion on procedures, as well as date
deadlines for vouchers and money for
quad functions. Tassone said, ‘“‘It would
be very difficult to be the best treasurer
you could be without taking the exam.’’
Avery Littman, treasurer of
SUNYTunes, SUNY’s record co-op, said
the exam was ‘‘extremely fair.”” Littman
said, ‘‘There were three packets [to study
from] and they overlapped each other in
material. They included basic policies of
SA-funded groups.’’
Littman has been treasurer of

Chapel House reaps $225K
By Maureen Zecher
Fundraising for construction of
a new Chapel House has reached
$225,000, surpassing the halfway
point, and a tentative construc-
tion date of spring 1988 has been
predicted.
The new site is located on the
hill across Perimeter Road from
the gym, directly west of the
previous Chapel House which was
declared a ‘‘total loss’ in a May
1985 blaze.
During the past 15 months, the
Chapel House staff, consisting of
representatives of the Catholic,
Protestant, and Jewish faiths, has
been operating out of an office in
Campus Center.
The 21-member governing
board, which consists of members
from each faith, ‘‘has embarked
on a capital program with a goal
of $400,000,” said John Har-
tigan, vice president of Chapel
House’s governing board and also
SUNYA’s vice president for
finance and business.
The Albany-based architectural
firm Mendel, Mesick, Cohen,
Waite, and Hall has been retain-
ed, and according to the firm’s
chief architect, Ben Mendel, the
new Chapel House is presently in
“‘the schematic design phase.’”
Mendel has visited the site and
the land has been surveyed by
Hershberg and Hershberg, local
cosulting engineers.
The main challenge, according
to Mendel, is “‘designing a chapel
which is sympathetic to the
[design of the] University but yet
which maintains a certain warmth
for worship.”
In keeping with the First
Amendment’s separation of
church and state, Chapel House is
an independent, non-profit cor-
poration, totally dependent on
private donations.
In a letter to his colleagues,
Hartigan stated that the Interfaith
Center ‘‘has been able to offer a
host of services not typically
available within a publicly sup-
ported institution and has served
as a place for counsel, for wor-
ship, for study, for social interac-
tion, and for friendship.”
Approximately $225,000 of the
$400,000 goal has been reached.
Members of the governing board
personally pledged $75,000. The
University at Albany Fund, a not-
for-profit corporation, has pledg-
ed $25,000 towards the new
building.
University Auxiliary Services’
(UAS) Board of Directors has
also committed itself to a $50,000
donation over a five-year period.
In addition, there has\ been a
$15,000 anonymous contribution
as well as an estimated $50,000 in
cash pledges from the community
and faculty.
Presently, the funding cam-
paign is aimed at the Albany com-
munity, Many SUNYA graduates
choose to remain in the Albany
area and “‘these are the future
parents, teachers, business men
and women, and professionals of
our community,’’ stated the Rev.
Jack A. Molyn, a Roman
Catholic chaplain at SUNYA, ina
Chapel House Fund newsletter.
Hartigan expressed a desire for
more response from the parents
of SUNYA’s students.
“It’s too bad we couldn’t drum
up more business with parents,’”
he said, because they are the ones
who truly have a stake in the
University. As of yet, any actions
directed towards this have not
been undertaken in a systematic
manner, he said.
Button and Button, the fun-
draising firm which has been
hired to support Chapel House,
has planned a variety of money-
making activities.

Governors suggest basing
state college aid on exams
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — State
colleges that try to prove they do
a good job teaching students
should get more money than
other colleges, according to a new
report by the National Governors
Association (NGA).
The report suggests states give
schools that grade themselves
with ‘“‘assessment tests” a bigger
percentage of the higher educa-
tion budgets the states give out
each year.
“Incentive funding,” said the
report, called ‘‘Time For
Results,”’ ‘‘will send a clear signal
that policymakers expect and de-
mand proven quality in higher
education.”
But some educators fret such
‘incentive funding’’ would give
legislators, not administrators
and faculty members, control of
some campus courses and
programs.
And in education, said Bob
Aaron of the National Associa-
tion of State Universities and
Land-Grant Colleges in
Washington, D.C., ‘‘beauty is in
the eye of the beholder.”
The governors, he said, have
“‘taken the bottom-line ap-
proach”’ to funding and grading
colleges’ performances. ‘“‘[The
governors want to] reassure tax-
payers by having colleges
demonstrate that learning is going
on.””
In many states, education is the
single largest expenditure of tax-
payer money and ‘“‘they are look-
ing for ways to have money used
in the most effective manner,”’
Aaron said.
While many colleges and states
have begun to require students to

years, none has yet tied the
amount of money colleges get to
their students’ test scores.
Maryland has come the closest
to adopting a NGA-type plan. In
April, the state’s Board for
Higher Education approved plans
to test sophomores at all state
campuses in 1988.
Board members would then
grade colleges’ efforts to teach by
how well students do on the tests.
But critics say they don’t really
trust the tests’ ability to measure
how well colleges are doing, and
that the scores would be ques-
tionable because the students tak-
ing the tests would have little
motive for doing well on them.
Florida, South Dakota,
Georgia and Tennessee now re-
quire students to take competency
tests to prove they are qualified to
become college juniors and the
Texas legislature currently is
debating a bill to subject Texas
sophomores to similar tests.
None of those states, however,
make funding dependent on how
well the students do.
Even if they do adopt the NGA
plan to attach purse strings to test
scores, the NGA’s Joe Nathan
thinks states would adopt in-
dividual — not national —
methods of grading colleges.
Northeast Missouri State
University in Kirksville, Mo., for
example, asks sophomores to
retake either the Scholastic Ap-
titude Test (SAT) or the
American College Testing (ACT)
program test, and compares the
results with their high school
scores, said Dr. Charles McClain,
NMSU’s president. o

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Star-
ting this month, students at two-
year Southwestern Michigan Col-
lege can get some of their tuition
money back if they can’t transfer
their SMC credits to a four-year
college.
In Boston in early September,
business officials announced a
plan to help local high school
grads pay to go to Massachusetts
colleges. Ohio legislators are now
weighing a plan for some top
students to attend Ohio colleges
for free.
In recent weeks, too, an
estimated 16 colleges around the
country started offering ‘‘tuition
futures,’’ in which parents can
ave plenty of fun on tap for your
ch srhooth Meister Bravrink
prepay tuition years in advance of
their kids’ actually enrolling at
the school and, in return, get a
guarantee that tuition won’t rise.
Increasing numbers of colleges
this fall, in short, are using tuition
discounts, waivers, ‘‘futures’’
and payment schemes more com-
mon to car dealerships than cam-
puses to attract students.
“Colleges can no longer sit
back and wait for students to
come to campuses,’’ explained
Steve Pelletier, director of public
affairs for the Council of In-
dependent Colleges.
“Although many colleges were
initially reluctant to market
Colleges now using unique tuition
finance schemes to lure students
[themselves four-or five years
ago], they are now taking a
Pragmatic approach,” he said.
“Colleges cannot aford to drag
their feet.’”
But while schools did start
upgrading their images with new
logos, greater emphases on
“marketable” degree programs,
and even recruiting videotapes to
help draw students to them, the
use of financing schemes is new.
A huge number of colleges are
offering students and parents
financing schemes this fall that
feature credit cards, deferred Pay-
ment plans, and payment install-
ment programs, said Meredith
Ludwig of the American Associa-
tion of State Colleges and Univer-
sities (AASCU).
Most in the field credit: Du-
quesne University in Pittsburgh
with coming up with the “‘tuition
futures’ plan that has begun on
at least 17 colleges this fall.
For a one-time payment this
year of $4,450, parents can buy
four years worth of tuition at Du-
quesne — room and board are ex-
tra — for a child who would
enroll as a freshman in 2003.
West Virginia students this fall
can spread the cost of attending
WVU over eight- or ten-month
periods. Students do pay an extra
$40 annual fee to get on the defer-
red payment plan, which includes
an insurance policy that pays off
the university if the student or the
students’ parents should die
before the tuition bill is paid in
full.
To ensure that enrollment stays-
up in 1990, Wichita State is awar-
ding 85 qualified ninth graders
scholarships of $5,400 each,
guaranteeing , them four years
worth of tuition and fees at the
university.
Southwestern University in

just how effectively such financ-

attending classes, but a variety of
observers are dubious about their
value.
Bard College in New York, for
example, rejected a finance plan
on the grounds students should be
more interested in the classes the
school offers. Others point out
that college quality can change —
for the worse — between the time

But the colleges themselves
seem happy with the new plans.

SUNY Buffalo grant jeopardized
by California-based researchers
New York
(AP) Sour grapes is fueling a bid
to disallow a $25 million grant
given to a coalition of Eastern
universities to study earthquakes,
according to an official at SUNY
Buffalo, one of the schools.
“I think there’s a whole lot of
disappointment that the grant
came here,” William R. Greiner,
provost at SUNY Buffalo said
Tuesday. ‘‘And that disappoint-
ment is driving a very few people,
a very few, in California, to a
frenzy of activity.”
California scientists who lost
an intense competition to the
Eastern coalition for the start-up
grant for a national earthquake
research center have accused Buf-
falo scientists of stealing their
work to win the money.
The California team wants the
competition reopened, and the
National Science Foundation,
which awarded the grant Aug. 15,
said it would investigate the
allegations.
But Greiner said he ‘‘would be
extraordinarily suprised’ if the
grant didn’t come to Buffalo.
The Western universities
sought to locate the Earthquake
Engineering Research Center at
the University of California in
Berkeley, but lost out to a group
of seven Eastern schools that
plans to put the $50 million center
at Buffalo.
Greiner said that the material in
question ‘‘was very general,
descriptive material pretty much
already of the public domain
among earthquake officials.’’
He said use of the two-year-old
material was the result of an over-
sight by a five-member team
writing in four locations and
assembled quickly to file its
53-page grant application.
One page of the report was in
part a copy of earlier work, and

“BLUE VELVET is a mystery.
Greiner said an investigation has
begun into why the material in
question was not footnoted, as it
should have been.
“Tt is an issue, but it’s not a
serious issue that goes to the heart
of the matter,’’ Greiner said.
“The material used was in-
consequential and immaterial to
the substance of the application’’
as to why a university with a
world-class earthquake program
should get the grant, Greiner said.
“The application was not a
scientific article in that it was not
going to be published in a scien-
tific journal where extensive foot-
noting is required,” he said.
Paul C. Jennings, a seismic
researcher and chairman of the
California Institute. of
Technology’s division of
engineering, made the copying
charge in a Sept. 19 letter to the
National Science Foundation.
In the letter, released Monday
by the office of U.S. Sen. Pete
Wilson (R-Calif.), Jennings wrote
that he discovered the alleged co-
pying when he read a copy of the
New York Proposal.
“You can imagine my surprise
when I discovered my own
words!’’ wrote Jennings, who
listed about 50 lines or parts of
lines that had been taken from
material he had co-authored in a
1984 document.
He said he also discovered
another section allegedly taken
from material written by Wilfred
Iwan, a Caltech professor and
one of the principal scientists in-
volved in the California effort to
win the center.
Wilson and U.S. Sen. Alan
Cranston (D-Calif.) have called
for an-investigation of the deci-
sion and have threatened to in-
troduce legislation blocking
financing of the center.

Sometime Tuesday, a committee appointed
by University President Vincent O’Leary will
meet to discuss one of the most important
student issues on campus.
But if you’re worried about fitting the
meeting into your schedule, you can stop
worrying, because you’re not invited. And if
you think you’ll find out what happened at
the meeting by reading the ASP, think again.
We aren’t invited either.
The University Alcohol Committee will
hold its first meeting Tuesday to discuss
topics related to alcohol on campus. Topics
like alcohol confiscation, or the current ban
on bulk containers in the dorms, And
although the topics directly affect student life
on campus, the subject matter is off-limits to
students’ ears.
The University believes it has the right to
declare this meeting, and any other meeting
of this committee, legally closed to the
public, which includes members of the press.
We think otherwise, and we’re not alone.
Robert Freeman, the executive director of
New York State’s Committee on Open
Government, said that task force and
advisory committee meetings such as this one
are subject to the New York State Open
Meetings Law, and minutes prepared by the
committees are subject to rights of access
granted by the state’s Freedom of
Information Law.
Freeman, whose legal opinion is upheld in
court-more than 90 percent of the time, has in
the past issued a written statement asserting
that the public has a legal right to a attend
meetings such as the one scheduled for
Tuesday meeting, and that minutes of the
meeting should, by law, be kept and made
accessible to anyone.
The University is well aware of Freeman’s
position. Copies of his six-page opinion were
sent to three administrators, including Vice
President for Student Affairs Frank Pogue.
But that didn’t stop the University from
closing the meetings of the Advisory Task
Force on Alcohol Policy back in 1983.
Nor did it stop the University from closing
meetings of the Implementation of 21 com-
mittee last year, which eventually called for
the ban on bulk containers of alcohol.
Students were outraged by the alcohol ban,
prompting a mass rally outside O’Leary’s
door in the Administration building. But
there was nothing the protesters could do —
the decision had already been made by a
closed committee.
This year could be different, but probably
won’t be. The few student committee
members will prohably be in favor of opening
[the meetings, but they are likely to be
outnumbered by the administrators and the
faculty members on the committee.
Legally, the University is making a
mistake. It’s only a matter of time until a
lcourt of law corrects the University’s
misguided knowledge of the Open Meetings
Law and the Freedom of Information Act.
But more importantly, the University is
doing a grave injustice to students who live
on campus. A policy that affects students
should be discussed in front of students, and
not just the four or five chosen to serve on the
committee. ~
Understandably, the University does not
want hundreds of students disrupting the
meeting. But at the very least, the University
should allow a representative from the press
into the meeting, so that an objective account
of the proceedings can be given to the public.
Without that, students on campus will
remain powerless to affect policy that affects
them.

GE brings bad things to life
You’ve probably heard the advertising slogan ‘‘GE,
We Bring Good Things To Life.”” Well, many people
seriously doubt the accuracy of that ‘statement. General
Electric is known to millions of Americans as the home
appliance manufacturer. However, GE is the nation’s
fourth largest military contractor and third largest maker
of primary nuclear weapons systems. Because it is a prime
example of the nuclear weapons industry, a full-scale na-
tionwide boycott of General Electric’s consumer products
is in progress.
Tom Gaveglia
The boycott was initiated last October by the national
grassroots organization INFACT. INFACT is the group
that organized the successful Nestle boycoit, which stop-
ped Nestle and other corporations from marketing infant
formula (which replaced mother’s milk) to third-world
nations. INFACT is seeking 100,000 pledges to boycott
by this Christmas. So far 93,000 messages of protest have
been sent to GE executives.
The boycott calls on GE to cease production,
marketing, and promotion of nuclear weapons. It also re-
quests GE to stop interfering with government decision
making and to draw up plans for economic conversion
from military to non-military industry.
Basically, GE is known for its consumer product line of
lightbulbs, televisions, radios, refrigerators, washers and
dryers, etc. But GE is also involved in more major
weapons systems than any other corporation. Its nuclear
inventory includes parts for the Trident submarines, the
MX missle, and Stealth bombers. GE is now helping to
extend the arms race into space by developing the SP-100,
an orbiting nuclear reactor.
In the 1930’s, defense contractors earned the title ‘Mer-
chants of Death’. Congress had even begun investigating
the links between the military, the federal government,
and the corporate defense sector. Today the link is
stronger than ever, but now it perpetuates the creation of
more and ‘better’ nuclear weapons and systems, as well as
conventional weapons. Defense contractors are always
guaranteed business and a profit. They themselves set the
costs of designing and producing the nuclear arsenal.
: That is the main reason for cost overruns (ie. the $600
screwdriver). GE itself was found guilty in 1985 for filing
false claims for payments on missile contracts, and for ly-
ing to the government about cost overruns and expenses.
GE has been involved in the nuclear arms buildup since
the Manhatten Project (which built the bombs used on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and is a prime example of how
the defense industry has helped to influence the develop-
ment of nuclear weapons policy for over 40 years. For ex-
ample, in 1968 two former secretaries of defense, who
were then serving on GE’s board of directors, authored
the Republican national platform committment urging
Nixon to seek “‘speedy’’ development of the B-1 bomber
(which was rejected by previous administrations), GE is
now one of the major B-1 contractors. It currently main-
tains a full-time lobbying staff or 120 people in
Washington, D.C. to help promote nuclear weapons and
systems. It also ranked seventh among the corporate
PACs by disbursements in 1983-1984 to influence na-
tional policy decisions.
It is also important to note GE’s corporate abuses
beyond its practice of nuclear weapons Profiteering. It is
one of the worst toxic polluters. In 1984 it was identified
by the EPA as responsible for contributing toxic wastes to
the largest number of sites among the 195 Superfund tox-
icdumps. In New York State, GE has either created or
contributed to 22 Superfund toxic waste sites. Presently,
it continues to contaminate the Hudson River with PCBs
from its Waterford plant. In addition, GE has the worst
record of federal tax avoidance of any company in the
U.S. From 1981-1984 the company paid no taxes, and ac-
tually received a tax rebate of $98 million.
GE itself was found guilty in
1985 for filing false claims on
missile contracts, and for
lying to the government about
cost overruns and expenses.
The boycott brings up the issue of economic conver-
sion. Defense contractors argue that if research and pro-
duction of nuclear weapons and systems slows down or
stops, their employees’ jobs will be lost. However,
military contracting is one of the lowest job producers.
For example, the education sector creates 72,000 jobs (per
one billion 1981 dollars spent), hospital and health care
create 54,00 and public works create 32,000. Military con-
tracting creates only 28,000, Peace and public-interest
groups have drawn up plans on how economic conversion
can be implemented to create a smooth transition from
military to non-military industry, and thus add jobs that
will benefit a nation with a peace-intended economy.
This boycott is different from most others. It is ex-
pected to last quite a long time, and turn out to be well
organized so as to reach most Americans. It is the only
major boycott the anti-nuclear peace movement is involv-
ed in. GE is obviously not going to come tumbling down
from public pressure, since it has a diverse market. But it
markets its consumer products under the GE or Hotpoint
labels, so it’s a»geed target. GE could stand to lose
millions of dollars in sales revenue and other boycott-
induced expenses. But the success of the boycott is not
measured primarily in loss of sales. Another goal is to
alter the ‘good’ image that GE has always maintained.
It’s about time the American peace movement focused on
multinational defense corporations’ contribution and
profiteering of the nuclear atms buildup. -

awkward reporter in the midst of thousands of screaming people. He was shov-
ing a microphone toward an hysterical teenage girl.
“He was awesome. Like, Billy Joel is amazing. He's just so awesome. It was
unbelievably awesome.” She blew a bubble into the microphone.
I marvelled at this girl’s vocabulary. But who was I kidding? Monday night
| was The Big Night and I missed it. I would have traded IQs with that girl if she
had given me her ticket to Billy Joel.
Sure, I had told myself that I couldn't afford to go anyway. I had too much
work; I had a test the next day; his voice just isn’t what it used to be; the show
wouldn't be that great.
I lied. The truth was that when the tickets went on sale, I was not sure I had
fully recovered from Billy's Innocent Man Tour.

I had a date for the Innocent Man concert with a guy named George. We
had been working together at a local ice cream place — The Farm Shoppe. For
months George had chased me around the store with the ice cream scooper
pathetically proposing marriage, hoping I would accept under duress.
One day he gave up. “OK, Evelyn. So you won't marry me. But I have two
tickets to the Billy Joel concert — will you go with me?”
George was pudgy. He was a marine-biology major who had dropped out of
a community college. And he was losing his hair quickly.
“Oh my God. Yes!! I would love to go to Billy Joel [consciously leaving out
3.00 GPA in specific areas of science
and math
‘with you’]. Now would you please put the scooper down?’
George was an hour late on the night of the concert. For the entire hour I
was busy changing outfits. I had to look perfect for Billy.
When George arrived he didn’t look very well (he looked worse than usual).
His eyes were red and he looked exhausted. “Sorry I’m late, I got lost,” he said.
Later, in the middle of the highway George revealed the truth. “I was a little
high before, but I'm all right now.” I gasped and tightened the seatbelt.
Of course since we were late we had to park at least three miles away from
the normal parking facilities. It was freezing and it began to snow.
George took his wallet from his pocket and searched for the tickets. Much to
our dismay he could only find one. We desperately searched the car for another
half hour for the ticket — under the seats, between the beer bottles, beneath
the floor mats.
Applications are available in the
Campus Center, Room 137.
It was ten minutes before the show began when George re-checked his
pockets and found the other ticket. I was searching in the back seat frantically
when he made his amazing discovery.
“Look, Evelyn,” said George, waving the ticket in the snow. “I found it. But
while you're in the back seat...”
Needless to say, after that remark George and | did not speak throughout the
entire concert.
On the three mile hike back to the car, Billy Joel tunes still playing on in my
mind, George and I made another startling discovery: George had locked his
keys in the car.
So my date and I spent the next hour in the parking lot (now coated with
three inches of snow) with two fumbling policemen who were trying earnestly
to unlock the door with a file. When they realized they were not qualified for
this task, one of the cops had a brainstorm.
He disappeared for a while, and returned with a sleazy, beady-eyed hoodlum.
“Jack here's been arrested for grand larceny at least twice. He'll get your car
door open.” And so he did — in under a minute.
On the ride home George turned to me and said quietly, “I hope you en-
joyed the concert.”
I couldn’t answer because | was still shivering profusely from standing out in
the snow so long. He continued: “I just want you to know, Evelyn, that if this
date leads to marriage, I'm willing to convert to Judaism for you.” He winked
and groped my knee with his hand.

Can we talk about Joan Rivers?
othing has ever come easily for
Ne Joan Rivers once said. That
phrase will really be put to the test
this month when Joan enters the late-night
talk show battleground with The Late
Show Starring Joan Rivers. Her hourly,
weeknight program will air at 11:30 p.m.
in most markets on the Fox Broadcasting
Company (locally, on Channel 23) and will
compete head-on with her former mentor
Johnny Carson of NBC’s Tonight Show.
She will also be competing with fellow
comedian David Brenner, who also begins
his own show this year, as well as several
new offerings by ABC with veterans that
include Dick Cavett. What was once a
monopoly in tate night fare only a few
years ago, has become a war zone and
possibly saturation on the comedy scene.
Patrick Gillease
The most notable and heated confronta-
tion will be with Carson, whose show had
given her her ‘big break.’ In the early
1960s, when she was an aspiring comic,
Joan auditioned seven times unsuccessfully
for The Tonight Show. Yet by 1983, 19
years after her first appearance with
Johnny, Tonight broke tradition to name
Joan as its sole, permanent guest host. The
contract was renewed for the 1985-86 TV
season, and Joan quipped, “It's the first time
any man has still wanted me after a year.”
Now it appears, at least to Mr. Carson, that

move had anything to do with her feelings

Palace
uring B.B. King’s performance Sun-
D=. September 28 at the Palace
Theater, nothing was more ap-
parent than the fact that this seasoned
musician was having a lot of fun. King jok-
ed with the audience. He clowned with his
band members. He kidded himself about
his birth and his age. He even laughed off
the stage crew's technical difficulties. He
even managed to play some guitar.
Rob Merrell
However, King played a lot less guitar
than one might expect from a man at-
tributed the status of one of the greatest
guitar soloists in the blues tradition. On a
couple of occasions he interacted his play-
ing with that of his keyboardist, and his
band soloed as much as he did, But King’s
intention was not to spotlight his guitar
soloing. He came to entertain.
And entertain he did. In recent years,
King has gathered a reputation as a fine
singer, and during the show he proved that
his reputation was well earned. The first
number he performed, a song called “Let
The Good Times Roll” was played with a
light, swinging rhythm. The second song,
“T Think That You're Cheating On Me,”
slower and bluesy, but King’s singing
brought humor and self-effacement to the
sad lyrics.
The band’s playing was in accordance
with the mood of its leader: light and full
of fun. A middle ground with emotion was
maintained as the rockers never got too
hard and the blues never got too blue. The
band proved themselves to be a fine bunch
of musicians and King appeared tO-enjoy
their playing as much as the audience did.
Faces were smiling and toes were tapping
throughout the performance.
B.B. King has been performing for over
38 years. He is a veteran musician and per-
former who displays confidence in leading
his band and a directness of purpose as he
and his guitar named “Lucille” take his au-
diences right where he wants them to be.
A short time ago, B.B. King shared the
story of how his guitar came to be named
“Lucille.” “There's a plantation town in
BB. King plays the
Arkansas. There's a club there and we used
to play every Friday and Saturday
night...usually in the winter it gets kind of
cold. They used to put something in- the
middle of the floor that looked like a big
garbage pail and fill it half full with
kerosene for heat, and light the fuel. Well,
people would dance around it This par-
ticular night 2 guys got to fighting. One of
them knocked the other on top of this con-
tainer and it spilled. Everyone started to
run for the front door, including yours tru-
ly. But when‘ got on the outside I realized
I forgot my guitar. I went back for it. It was
a dry wooden building and was burning
very fast. When I went back to get my
guitar I almost lost my life. The next morn-
ing we found out the 2 guys were fighting
about a lady. I never did meet her, but I
found out her name was Lucille. So, I nam-
ed my guitar Lucille to remind me never to
do a thing like that again. I think you can
get another guitar, but another B.B. King.”
Last Sunday, moderation was the main
thrust of King’s show. He wanted to shows
folks a good time. That is what he did, us-
ing some brass, some keyboards, some
singing, some fast songs, some slow songs.
When he and “Lucille” did take the
spotlight, they confirmed the belief that
|you cannot get another B.B. King. It’s no
| wonder why King is considered the best at
, what he does. o
lieu of paying her salary. In 1960, she
graduated to Greenwich Village cabarets
and coffee houses and later honed her com-
edic skills at Chicago’s renowned “Second
City.” Today, Joan can be found perform-
ing at top-notch concert venues across the
country, including Caesars World, which
recently signed her for the longest commit-
ment ever given to a superstar for all three
of their showrooms in Las Vegas, Lake
Tahoe and Atlantic City.
As a writer, Joan Rivers has found
remarkable success. Her first book, Having
a Baby Can Be a Scream, published in
1974, sold over four million copies. From
1973-76, she produced a thrice-weekly
syndicated column for the Chicago
Tribune which described life’s experiences
in her characteristic, comical fashion. In
1984, she penned The Life and Hard
Times of Heidi Abromowitz in which she
chronicles the antics of her “very best
friend” of the same name. This book went
on to become only the second work of a
comedic nature to be chosen as an Alter-
nate Selection for the prestigious Literary
Guild. In May of this year, Joan’s
autobiography, Enter Talking was released.
It touts her life prior to her first appearance
on The Tonight Show and has already sold
very successfully.
After a 1969 feature film entitled, The
Swimmer, with Burt Lancaster, Joan mov-
ed on to television to further highlight her
inimitable talents. After writing for Alan
Funt’s Candid Camera, she wrote and star-
red in the popular talk show That Show
from 1969-71. In 1973, she wrote the
ctitically-acclaimed ABC movie The Girl
Most Likely To, which went on to be the
highest-rated, made-for-television movie of
its time. h
Joan has also made her mark upon film
and the stage. In 1971, she co-wrote and
starred in the comedy play “Fun City” on
Broadway. She went on to make her direc-
torial debut in 1978 commanding the ac-
tions of a pregnant man in the comedy film
Rabbit Test.
Apart from her duties as a performer,
Joan Rivers is an active public servant who
is deeply committed to helping less for-
tunate people. She is in her fourth year as a
national spokesman for the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation as well as a supporter in the
fight against AIDS. She was the first °
celebrity to call attention to’ the crisis by
holding a benefit at Studio One in Los
Angeles in 1982. She then participated in

Kirk Douglas is still a tough
adies and gentlemen, presented for your
consideration, one Kirk Douglas. Larger than
life on the silver screen at Mann’s Chinese
Theatre, Douglas is about to yank his trousers down
while standing atop a speeding train.
The jaded audience at this Hollywood premiere
senses the rising moon. It’s so utterly predictable, yet
L
so appropriate. So in character. So... so Kirk
Douglas. Yet, it works; the crowd cheers.
“The mooning was my idea,” Douglas proudly
boasts during an early morning interview session at
which he plugs Tough Guys, a new film also featur-
ing his perennial co-star, Burt Lancaster. “The direc-
tor (leff Kanew) thought I was crazy. ‘Kirk, you
don’t want to do that.’ I said, ‘Jeff, what would Ar-
chie do on top of a speeding train when he sees the
policeman he’s been doing this to (flashing his mid-
dle finger and a toothy grin)? What can he do to top
that?”
“The only thing he can do,” Douglas answers
himself. “We came to a compromise. ‘If I'm crazy
enough to do it, I'l do it. If you don't like it, cut it
out.’ A little bit of me creeps into some scenes, but
otherwise it’s just a role. But that’s the fun of it. To
me the fun of making a movie is to participate in the
creative process, to have ideas on the script, to talk
with the director.”
As a tribute to Douglas’ participation in the mak-
ing of Tough Guys, director Kanew made certain
the following was included in the credits: Produc-
tion Consultant... Issur Danielovitch. “Jeff maintains
that I've been very helpful in the picture, and made
a lot of contributions. He's very nice and gracious,”
Douglas says of Kanew. “He said, T’ve given you a
credit.’ I think he only wanted me to see the picture
to see that credit. And that’s my original name,
Danielovitch. That's an inside joke. It’s very sweet of
him.” a
In Tough Guys, Douglas and Lancaster play Ar-
chie Long and Harry Doyle, respectively, two men
arrested while staging the last great American train
robbery. The pair is released following a 30-year
prison term only to face the realities of modern
society. Soon enough, however, the tables are turn-
ed and it's modern society which must face the in-
trepid duo who plot to recapture their faded glory
by commandeering the about-to-be-mothballed
Gold Coast Flyer, the object of their ill-fated caper
years earlier.
Douglas and Lancaster have performed together
several times, in several media. On stage they co-
starred in The Boys of Autumn, and on television
they joined forces for a Victory at Entebee. They
have also appeared together in five motion pictures,
the most popular of those being Gunfight at the
OK. Corral and Seven Days in May.
“Burt and I started at almost the same time,”
Douglas recalls. “He may have started a year earlier,
but his second movie and my second movie was I
Walk Alone (1947), that we both did for Hal Wallis.
We were under contract for Wallis. Then I got into a
fight with Wallis. I had a picture a year deal with
him. Most of the time I've never been under con-
tract. Burt was under contract with Hal Wallis. He
wanted me under a term contract. That's like
slavery. They have you for seven years. So I said,
‘What do you have in mind? They were tough in
those days, guys who ran the studios. But I'm-a
tough guy, too.
ee
“I don’t understand actors
now. They do a picture
every three years. I don’t
know what the hell they‘re
doing in between.”
— Kirk Douglas
“He said, ‘Sign a contract accepting my offer or I'll
drop you.’ I said, ‘Drop me.’ He dropped me. I went
on my own. Several years later he came to me to do
a picture called Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Now,
he dropped me. Burt was still under contract to
Wallis, had one picture to go. I read the script. There
were faults in it. It wasn’t such a great script. I said,
‘Yeah, I'll do it — if you get Burt Lancaster to play
Wyatt Earp.’ Well, Burt said, ‘Gee, if Kirk plays Doc
Holiday and I play Wyatt Earp, I get out of the God
damned contract.’ They had to pay me an awful lot
of money, which killed Hal Wallis. Burt got like 80,
90 thousand dollars and I got four, five hundred
thousand dollars. That was a Jot of money in those
days. It’s a lot of money now.”
Lancaster, in a separate interview, also recalls his
first film with Douglas. “Sure, I remember it very
well. We made a picture called I Walk Alone, 1946.
He played the heavy in it. He's still playing the
heavy,” Lancaster jokes. “That's the first time we
met, and we became good friends. Gunfight at the
O.K. Corral, that's where we really got to know
each other. We lived several weeks on location. We
had adjoining rooms. We'd sit up until two or three
in the morning talking. Anyway, that’s how we
became friends.
The two men complement each other off-screen
as well as on. They've both had their share of in-
dependent successes, but together a chemistry exists
which audiences have been paying good money to
see for over 40 years. “He’s unpredictable,” Douglas
says of Lancaster. “I guess we say the same things
about each other. I read an interview where Burt
said, ‘Kirk Douglas was the most exasperating per-
son I've ever worked with, next to me,’ next to
himself. Burt is stimulating. Love me or hate me, but
don’t be indifferent. I hate actors that just play it
safe. I like to take a little chance, see what happens.
“We work the same way. We come from the old
school. I don’t understand actors now. They do a
picture every three years. I don’t know what the hell
they're doing in between. If I were a carpenter, I'd
be doing my job. You're a journalist, you do your
job. What do you do, write an article one year, then
don't write for a year or two? I don’t understand
these people. I used to try to explain to my kids
what I do. 1 say, ‘This guy’s a plumber, your Daddy's
an actor. He goes and he pretends and he makes
believe. My kids said, ‘Oooh, you do what I do.
“Burt and I are not close buddies,” Douglas con-
tinues. “Sometimes a whole year goes by and I don’t
see him. Somehow, if I need”Burt he’s there. He
knows if he needs me, I’m there. We're very dif-
ferent and yet we're very alike. We're both a little
nuts. That helps you in this business, being a little
crazy.”
Tough Guys screenwriters James Orr and Jim
Cruickshank obviously picked up on the legendary
actors’ chemistry when they wrote the screenplay
with Douglas and Lancaster in mind. “People have
long believed that when Kirk and I work together
there is some sort of something that comes of it,”
notes Lancaster. “At the last Academy Awards,
which he and I attended as presenters, we came out

scording to Douglas, who left an op-
by Ian Spelling
portunity to attract youthful audiences to his talents
when he dropped out of First Blood several days in-
to shooting due to artistic differences. Richard Cren-
na replaced Douglas as John Rambo’s (Sylvester
Stallone) superior, Col. Trautman. Crenna has since
reprised his role in the sequel and his popularity as
an actor has increased as a result of the exposure. “In
all fairness, if I had done First Blood, I had a whole
different concept. I thought the director (Ted Kot:
cheff) agreed with my concept,” Douglas says. “In
fact, Sylvester Stallone was right. He had the artistic
control, which I didn’t know. If they had agreed
with my concept there'd be no Rambo (First Blood
part Il), because | killed him. My concept was this
guy had created this guy and at the end he felt the
only thing he could do was destroy him. If he'd
followed my concept Stallone would be out about
twenty million dollars.”
Tough Guys ends with the inevitable threat of a
sequel. Douglas pleads his case, at length, straying
from the question at hand to the plight of the elderly
to the power of American film. He speaks pas-
sionately, and through the unfocused rhetoric Kirk
Douglas actually makes sense. Interviewing him is
easy; turn on the tape recorder, whip out the pen,
and let the man speak. And speak. “A sequel
depends on the reception. If people really like it,
and it comes off, I think it'd be a natural for a sequel.
Isee the whole opening. Boom, we're in jail in Mex-
ico. Burt is saying, "You dumb son of a bitch, didn’t
Itell you. Why’d you kick that guy in the balls.” I
see the whole thing. But I don't think about it.
“You mtake a movie for people. The longer I'm in
this profession the more aware I am of the impor-
tance ‘of entertainment. Over the years this sort of
pretentious attitude developed, of making a state-
ment, of saying something. I can say this, because
I've made lots of movies which people have felt had

statement is secondary. People go to a movie to
forget their problems. Two hours to get lost with
what's happening on the screen. That’s important.
Tough Guys is hopefully a very funny. movie, has a
wonderful relationship, and has some interesting
statements about what happens to old people.
I did a movie on TV not long ago, Amos. This
dealt with that problem. I don’t make a movie to
teach people. After I did Amos I got involved in
elderly abuse, but that's secondary. I don’t think
there's anything more important, that you can make
a movie which millions of people all over the world
see, for a couple they forget all their tensions, forget
the problems of the world. That’s a precious thing.
That's an important thing that you're doing. Not
that you say, ‘I’m teaching them about...’ If in addi-
tion to the entertainment you see the message, that’s
fine. I think people in our industry become a little
pretentious sometimes. They don't realize entertain-
ment is not a bad word. There is a great
therapeutical value in film making. Let's face it, with
all the problems we have in our country with the
balance of trade, American movies are still sold all
over the world. | hope they continue to do that.”
“.. You can make a movie which millions of

Without straining to make its points, Jeff
Kanew (Revenge of the Nerds) spins a com-
ic yarn that is touching, poignant, exciting
and ultimately an all-around terrific pic-
ture. His seasoned stars portray Archie
Long (Douglas).and Harry Doyle, two con
men released from prison after serving thir-
ty years for attempting to commit the last
great American train robbery.
Screenwriters James Orr and Jim
Cruickshank focus on the pairs’ attempt to
assimilate into modern society. Lancaster is
told he is too old to work. Douglas in-
tervenes on his behalf- “Ronald Reagan is
older than him, and Reagan’s got a job.” It
doesn’t wash and Lancaster is sent packing
to an old folks home where, in nothing
more than an attempt to live an active and
useful life, he is scolded and treated like a
child.
Douglas receives a job as a busboy at a
trendy Los Angeles eatery, but soon loses
patience with the snobbish clientele and
quits. Another job at an ice cream shop
suits him no better. Kanew wisely sets up
the obvious- these two men are crooks, old
crooks, yes, but thievery is sort of like
riding a bike. You never forget how to do
it. They soon decide to retake the Gold
Coast Flyer, the train that eluded their grip
thirty years earlier.
Throughout the film Kanew contrasts
the mens’ separate experiences as well as
allows them to see the world of modern
crime together. Lancaster takes up with an
old flame; they trip the lights fantastic at an
old ballroom dance hall. Cross-cutting
against the grain is Douglas, who wanders
into an aerobics spa and its shapely young
owner (Darlanne Fluegel). In the film's fun-
niest sequence, Douglas wanders into a
chic clothing store where he is attended to
by a face and voice eminating from a
television. After trying on several
outrageous outfits, Douglas finds a hot one
and is soon slam dancing at a punk night
club.
In addition to the two leads, Tough
Guys also features a top notch supporting
cast. Eli Wallach almost steals the film as a
man with a mysterious grudge who sperids
the entire time trying to kill the stars. Dana
Carvey, in his film debut, earns high marks
for his sensitive work as the parole officer
whose task it is to keep the cons straight.
Charles Durning, however, overplays the
part of the officer who originally caught
the pair, and the part is unneeded.
But Tough Guys really belongs to
Douglas and Lancaster. They still possess
that special chemistry that has lead them to
perform in tandem seven times over forty
years. Here, Lancaster plays straight man
Burt Lancaster and Doyle L. McCormack in a scene from Tough Guys.
to Douglas, and it works to perfection.
When it comes time to actually steal the
train of their obsession, they become
criminal equals, and the actors seem so at
home in'the roles they appear not to be ac-
ting at all. That's talent and experience.
That makes for éxciting movie watching.
Every five minutes Tough Guys offers a
good laugh, a sensitive moment, or an ex-
hilarating chase sequence. Kanew has
created a film less heavy handed than Ron
Howard's Cocoon, which preached a bit
too much for its own good. Tough Guys
conveys many significant messages concer-
ning aging and crime and modern society
through its subtle humor and drama. This
is a family film, one anyone of any age can
relate to. and enjoy. Don’t miss it. Oo

The film is Three Men and a Cradle, first
released in France this past February and
now playing at the Spectrum through next
Thursday. Six-month old Marie is dropped
off one day at her father’s bachelor pad,
which he shares with two other Paris sw-
ingers. The hitch is that Jacques, the father,
doesn’t know he has a child. And he’s not
even there anyway. He just left for a three
week vacation in Thailand. And so his two
housemates end up dealing with the child.
Not that they, or Jacques on his return
have any firsthand knowledge on babies.
They've spent their adult lives chasing
women, without a care for the future.
These men are well off, professionals, and
absolutely childlike in their attitude
towards relationships. They are also con-
vincingly portrayed as Marie’s entrance
starts a process of humanization that they
only grudgingly accept.
These stereotypical bachelors’ learning
experiences and their attempts first to foist
S omething a little odd happened this
Marie on someone else, such as a grand-
mother, social agency, or a full-time sur-
rogate mother, and then to deal with this
disruptive influence in their lives is also the
making of great comedy. That's probably a
large factor in the movie's popularity - it’s
enjoyable.
It’s also a look at cultural attitudes, about
men and women making it in the profes-
sional world and having little else to show
in their personal lives. For six months the
men count down the weeks and days until
Marie’s mother is to return from her
modeling assignments in the United States.
And when she’s out of their lives, and they
return to the world they had before 4 a.m.
feedings and diapers they find they really
can't go back.
For the three men Marie is a new ex-
perience, and an unnerving one. They
grow to love the baby girl, to enjoy taking
care of her and to live with both the cute
and not-so-cute things about raising an in-
fant, But they won't admit their feelings to
each other, their perceptions of the world
and their place in it don’t allow them to.
Each is embarrassed when “discovered”
coddling this precious infant. Their in-
stincts come out only when challenged, as
when their guests at a dinner party expect
them to let the girl cry in her crib rather
than interrupt the party in progress. They
try to play one demand off the other, final-
ly choosing Marie over their guests, but
losing a friend or two in the bargain.
If there’s a moral to the story, then, it’s
about modern life. In a high-pressure

personal breaking point that they can only
face with the help of the people around
them. It’s a thought people who are on

Name the chicken
To the Editor:
The first thing that we would like to make clear is that
our intent is not to complain, which seems to us to be all
too prevalent at this university. Instead, we would like to
offer some advice on an issue of significance to us.
The ‘‘Rat’’ snack bar’s chicken sandwich has become a
very popular item as far as we can see, and for good
reason: it’s golden brown, served on a sesame seed bun,
with your choice of lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise or Rus-
sian dressing. With fries and a big soda, it’s one of the
best things ever.
Why then, does something so good have no name, or
more importantly, why does it not even appear on the
menu? How are people supposed to know it’s there,
unless maybe they have seen someone else eating one or if
they have been lucky enough to eat one themselves?
We would like to see this item appear on that swell,
lighted menu board over by the grill, but not simply under
the mame ‘‘chicken sandwich,’’ Something of such
superior quality deserves a superior name: we suggest
“CHARLIE CHICKEN.”’ There is a simple elegance in
the name ““CHARLIE CHICKEN,”’ an elegance which is
paralleled by the succulent taste of the sandwich itself.
“CHARLIE CHICKEN.”
Please understand that we do not expect nor want other
items on the menu to be similarly named. Just the chicken
sandwich, Mr. Zahm, ‘‘CHARLIE CHICKEN.”’
Please name the chicken sandwich ‘CHARLIE
CHICKEN.” Please?

of the ASP — to be more specific, the article entitled
“Frats to Assist Local Playground.’’ It happened to have
been a very nice article except for the fact that no mention
was made whatsoever of sororities. Sororities? Oh yeah, I
guess they sort of participated in the event also. I’m really
tired of fraternities and IFC getting so much recognition
for whatever they do and sororities and the Panhellenic
getting nothing. We were just as much a part of the
playground program as the fraternities were. Every
sorority sent a number of girls down to help out.
Sororities are just as much a part of our community as the
fraternities are. Our participation in university as well as
community programs is totally equivalent to those of the
fraternities, and if the Greek system is to thrive and be
successful on this campus, such recognition is essential.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We regret the omission.
Trust the Russians
To the Editor:
I think it is high time someone explain to the student
body just what ‘‘Peace Through Strength’’ entails and
what it will lead to. When the chairman of the YAF
declares that ‘‘We can’t trust the Russians,’’ does he
realize that we cannot afford not to?
Yes, we are all living in a high stakes super-power
poker game and all life on earth is in the pot. If and when
the order is given, the bombers will scramble, the keys
will turn and humanity will annihilate itself. No more ap-
ple pie, no more vodka and yes SUNY A — no more foot-
ball. Can the clock be turned back? Can we learn to trust
each other? I firmly believe that there is no other way.
True, the Soviet Union has made surrogates and
satellites out of: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, East
Germany, Rumania, North Korea, Afghanistan, etc.,
etc., etc. Yet look at our own record, and the
“democracies’’ we have built in: Guatemala, Chile,
South Korea, El Salvador, Indonesia, Cambodia, South
Vietnam, and until recently in Haiti, Nicaragua and the
Philippines. Truly no one from even the YAF would dare
to gloat over this part of US freedom abroad.
Neither of the superpowers have been totally honest
with the other in the past, yet each has its reasons. The
Soviet system threatens our economic and social systems,
and has overrun eastern Europe, and for that Americans
are very (and rightfully) wary. At the same time, the US
landed troops in the Soviet Union at Archangel and Mur-
mansk in 1919 to fight the communists (yes kids we did
invade the Soviet Union), and we didn’t formally
recognize the USSR until 1933. These instances, coupled
with the “‘U-2 incident’”’ and other tragedies have made
them just as afraid and skeptical of us as we are of them.
Each side of the Iron Curtain, meanwhile, is on a dead-
ly search for new and more accurate death machines. A
number of years ago it was revealed that we have enough
weapons of the nuclear variety to exterminate life on
earth forty times over. The difference in accuracy and
speed between B-52s and B-Is and the Minuteman vs.
Midgetman make no difference at all. For in the long run
we are all going to die (or as the US State Department
refers to citizen deaths in a nuclear war: Collateral
Damage), and it won’t matter who had the better
economic system, political system, newer planes, newer
missiles, or newer subs.For that matter it won’t even mat-
ter who pushed the buttons or turned the keys first.
I call upon President Reagan and Secretary General
Gorbachev to stop playing games with our lives and to get
real results in the arms control arena. There has been
enough propaganda by both sides...the time for real ac-
tion is upon us. I further demand\that the US get back on-
to the much touted ‘‘Moral High Ground’’ in Human
Rights and pursue a responsible foreign policy. A goal
that grows pale when in conflict with the almight dollar
sign.

Change for cancer
To the Editor: 2
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity of SUNYA held a coin drop
on the corner of Western Ave. and Fuller Rd. on Friday
afternoon September 19. We were sponsoring the
American Cancer Society/Albany Unit. We would like to
thank Albany residents, SUNY faculty and students, and
everyone else who was so receptive to our fundraising
drive.
Many automobile drivers emptied their change pockets
and had dollar bills in hand for our coin buckets. Due to
the overwhelming support we received, we were able to
collect and donate $540.00 to the American Cancer Socie-
ty/Albany Unit.
The fraternity had received permission from the Town
of Guilderland Traffic Department to hold our drive at
that location in the afternoon. Unfortunately, due to a
few traffic. complaints, the town of Guilderland Police
asked that we close up our drive 2% hours earlier than we
had anticipated and move to another location. The traffic
complaints claimed that we were adding to the congestion
of traffic. This ceased our efforts, because our shift
changes were previously coordinated for the location of
Western Ave. and Fuller Rd. Many of the brothers were
disappointed because we did not feel we were a traffic
threat or added to the congestion of traffic. Furthermore,
the disruption crippled our fundraising goal!!
We are planning another coin drop in the future. If you
see Pi Lambda Phi on the street corner again, we would
greatly appreciate any donation whatsoever. Further-
more, if you would like to support our efforts with local
officials, please contact whosoever jurisdiction we are in
that day and voice your opinion.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in
American society. Cancer kills more children between the
ages of 3-14 than any other disease. Over the years cancer
will affect 3 out of 4 families. 73 million Americans will
someday have cancer (approximately 30 percent).
There are over 5 million Americans alive today who
have a history of cancer. 3 million can be considered
cured, which means they have the same life expectancy as
someone who never had cancer. In the 1930’s 1 out of 5
people were cured, in the 40’s 1 out of 4 cured, in the 60’s
1 out of 3 cured, and today — 4 out of 10 are cured. Due
to advances created by research, 375,000 people who are
diagnosed with cancer this year will be alive 5 years from
now.
Several days after our drive, one of my close family
members was diagnosed with cancer. This has made me
further realize that no one is immune to cancer and I sup-
port this group’s efforts even more now. If you did not
pass our coin drop on Friday September 19, or were not
able to donate at that time, donations may still be sent to:
Betty Dzelzitif, Executive Director, Albany County Unit,
American Cancer Society, Albany Unit, Executive Park
Tower Building, Albany, NY 12203.
I would like to thank the many people who give to
American Cancer Society year round, the town of
Guilderland for giving us permission to hold the drive at
Western Ave. and Fuller Rd., the brothers who donated
their time in coordinating the drive, and a special thanks
to brother Rob Rosen, Community Service Chairperson,
for supervising the day’s events. y

ACIA playing games
fo the Editor:
As captains of a co-ed softball team we find it very
hard to believe that what happened to us on Sunday,
September 28 actually did.
As we were going through our usual pre-game regimen
of finding out who was going to play in our game it
started to rain. We then embarked on a maze of phone
calls to determine whether our game was cancelled or not.
It all started out with an innocent call to Campus Center
Information. They informed me that they did not know
about the game and I should call the ACIA office.
I then try to call the ACIA office where there is no
answer. As gametime approaches we make numerous
calls to Campus Center information, who still doesn’t
know, and to the ACIA office where there is still no
answer. Since it is almost gametime, we cannot wait any
longer and since it has stopped raining our team decides
to walk over to our field to find out.
As we are waiting on the field for our game a few other
teams show up who also have no idea what’s going on
here. Then our befuddlement over this situation is even
heightened more when the ump shows up. He also seems
to have no idea what is going on. After a short wait he
decides to cancel the game, but not telling us (or even
knowing for himself) whether we cancelled because of
rain.
So guys of the ACIA what is going on here? We forked
over 30 big ones to play in what we thought was an
organized league. So what have we got for our money,
nice posters in Campus Center telling us when our games
are. Why can’t you guys set up some kind of system to let
us captains know if our games are cancelled or not? Is this
just too tough for you or do you guys have some
superplan that you might someday tell us?

Thanks to Samaritan
To the Editor:
I recently lost my ID and I was not very optimistic
about it being returned to me but it was and I would like
to thank whomever was so kind as to bring it to the Quad
Office so it could be returned to me. It’s nice to know that
there are kind responsible people around. Thank you very
much. I would have preferred to have thanked you in per-
son but you didn’t leave your name. Thank you again,

State Legislature. Governor
Mario Cuomo met with SASU
representation and sponsored a
bill favoring student voting
rights, which was defeated in the
Rules Committee of the State
Senate.
According to Justin Hixson,
legislative director for SASU, it
will be easier to reintroduce a bill
this year ‘‘because we pressured
Senate majority leaders last year,
and we were sponsored by
Senator Eugene Levy.”’
“Tt will be within our control to
begin this year’s campaign any
time that we want,’’ said Hixson,
adding SASU has already met
with government staff members.
Hixson and Joseph both urged
students to become active in the
campaign to pass new voting
rights legislation.
~ According to Hixson, ‘‘The on-
ly way for the bill to go any fur-
ther than it did last year is to in-
tensify our campaign. We need’

make this an election issue,’’ said
Joseph. “‘We must write letters.
Until that time we will be locked
out of the system,”’ he said.
Joseph said that the common
argument of his opponents is that
students will vote in blocks and
overwhelm and outnumber local
residents in the ‘‘college town.”
“When students were allowed
to vote, they have not voted in
blocks,” said Joseph.
Another key argument used by
SASU emphasizes the fact that
the census includes students as
members of the community, ac-
cording to Joseph. This means
that both federal and state money
is being allocated for students
within the community, he said.
The current debate has been an
issue for over a decade. The latest
suit was filed last February in-
volving SUNY Purchase students
in Westchester County. A final

Second Circuit Court, which gave
election boards the continued
right to decide who was eligible to
vote.

Sodomy ruling seen as setback for minorities
By Joseph Leonard
In the early part of this past July, the
United States Supreme Court handed
down a decision on the constitutionality of
state sodomy laws and in doing so smack-
ed the face of the American people.
The Supreme Court decided that gay
men and lesbians do not have the right to
engage in consentual,
adult sexual relations in Beyond
the privacy of their own
bedrooms. The Court The
refused to declare a Majority
Georgia law unconstitu-
tional and thus continued to allow Georgia
and 23 other states to enforce sodomy laws
that can have up to a 20-year prison term
for conviction.
The Court decision has been a defeat
for those of us who'are working toward

broadening the view and acceptance of our
nation’s diverse morality. Finally, the deci-
sion is a defeat for all minorities who are
trying to help this nation understand and
embrace its cultural diversity.
One of the major reasons cited by the
Court for its decision was morality. Chief
Justice Warren Burger stated,“‘To hold
that the act of homosexual sodomy is
somehow protected as a fundamental right
would be to cast aside millenia of moral
teaching.””
The Lamba Legal Defense and Educa-
tion Fund, a gay legal association, so right-
ly puts the Court’s rationale into perspec-
tive: “If American policy were always to
be determined by such backward-looking
logic, blacks would still be slaves, women
would still not have the vote, and children

factories.””
In fact, the only people to gain anything
by the Court’s stance have been the
Religious Right, whose goal is to establish
an absolute morality and impose it on this
diverse nation.
All minority groups have been hurt by
the Court’s stance. You don’t have to look
back too far in history to see what happens
when a minority group is denied its
freedom. In Nazi Germany, before the
Jews, there were the homosexuals! The
court has blown a perfect opportunity to
stand up for the American people’s right
to have their privacy. All of us, whether
heterosexual or homosexual, have had a
bit of our freedom taken away.
However, the fight continues for all peo-
ple to look outside of their own personal
experiences and begin to take the risk of
understanding someone else’s. The
Supreme Court ruling is just a temporary
setback for the gay community.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance on cam-
pus will continue to do speaking
engagements, Gay and Lesbian Pride
Week, and our weekly meetings, which are

Springfield-Albany game for two years
now.”
While the Danes are hardly overjoyed
that Anderson will be out, they do feel
they have benefited in other ways.
“It’s brought the team closer together,”’
said Zaloom. ‘You play that much harder
to make up for the loss. The defense has
been solidified more; they’re playing more
like a unit.”
“‘Many times that happens,”’ said Ford.
“Adversity brings people together; you
play well to pick up th® slack.””
There is one additional handicap the
Danes must overcome. The fact that the
game will be played tonight as opposed to
tomorrow afternoon gives the Danes one
less day to prepare and recover from
injuries.
“J don’t think it helps Albany,”’ said
DeLong. ‘‘Not having that extra day’s
rest; they have to make a choice to either
lose a day’s practice or rest. It gives them
extra pressure to get things done.””
Men’s soccer forfeits to Union
<Back Page
Schieffelin had his own reservations.
“He [the referee] was not of mental*
capabilities to call a game,”’ he said. “The
only way he knew how-to control the game
was with the cards.””
Schieffelin went on, “The ref didn’t
have the game under control. I can’t
believe he didn’t see the player hit Mike in
the [groin]. I just feel like we played Union
very evenly. The play they scored a goal on
should have earlier been called out of
bounds. In essence he gave them the goal
— the opportunity.’’
Lost in the shuffle was the Danes’ fine
performance. Albany, which dropped to
3-5, held their own against Union. ‘“‘We
played as well as them,”’ said the coach.
Still on a win one, lose one pace, the
Danes suffered their first loss on the road
in four games. ‘‘When you go on the
road,”’ said Schieffelin, “you are the
target of abuse. We’re learning.”
“There is a fine line between ag-
gressiveness and dirty play,”’ said
Schieffelin.
Albany will get a chance to win their
first home game in five tries when they bat-
tle nationally-ranked Binghamton next
Friday at 2 p.m. Their next game is at New
Paltz, a conference game on Wednesday.
What exactly must the Danes do in order
to win the game?

them get out on the perimeter.” oO

Albany netmen serve a 9-0 blanking to Siena
HOWIE TYGAR UPS
Senior Dave Zobler
By Kristine Sauer
SPORTS EDITOR
After finishing an unimpressive
13th out of 25 teams in the
ECACs last weekend, the Albany
State men’s tennis team rebound-
ed with a 9-0 blanking of Siena on
Monday.
The ECACs, which the Danes
host annually, traditionally has a
strong competitive field of teams.
This year was no different. Winn-
ing the tournament was the team
from St. John’s University scor-
ing 21 points. The University of
Buffalo followed for second place
with 17 points, trailed by a third
place showing by Tufts University
with 14 points.
Considering that the Danes
have finished fairly well in the last
few years at the ECACs, taking a
third place last year, this year’s
13th place outcome was certainly
a let down.
The format of the ECACs
favors teams that are strong at the
top of the ladder. Teams can only
enter their top two singles players
and doubles teams in the ECACs.
Some years that will be to
Albany’s advantage, as in last
year, and other years it puts the
Danes at a disadvantage, as it did
this year.
“The format was really not in
our best interest this year,’’ said
Albany head coach Bob Lewis.
Playing first singles for
Albany, Marc Singer, a junior,
who played at the sixth spot last
year, got knocked out in the first
round of play. However, at se-
cond singles, senior Dave Zobler
defeated Marist’s John Macom
6-1, 6-3 to advance to the second
round, where he lost to Vassar’s
Donald Wright 5-7, 6-3, 6-3.
Both of Albany’s doubles
teams lost first round matches.
“J did not expect to do well,”
said Lewis while admitting that,
‘We did worse than I thought we
would.’””
But on Monday things were
very different for the Dane
netmen, Although Siena has a
competitive team this year, their
top three players didn’t play due
to injuries.
At first singles Singer defeated
Siena’s Andy Scampini, 6-3, 3-0
(retired). Scampini hurt himself
and could not finish the match.
The Danes’ usual second singles
player Zobler didn’t play so Mike
Worth moved up a notch as well
as the rest of the Dane lineup.
Worth soundly defeated Dan
Johnson, 6-1, 6-2.
Continuing in the sweep, at
third singles Rosenbloom came
out on top by beating John
Dergan 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. Siena’s Greg
Velcoust suffered a 6-1, 6-2 loss
to Albany’s Greenberg. And at
fifth sigles Roe blew away Don
McLette, 6-1, 6-0.
Getting a crack at playing in the
singles lineup was New City’s
Scott Cooper, who beat Ed Nor-
mandon, 6-1, 6-2.
“He’s [Cooper] been ‘doing
really well,” said Lewis. ““He
might make it into the top six
before the season ends.””
The three Albany doubles duos
swept as well.
“I was upset,” said Lewis
about the fact that their top
players were missing. “‘We could
have played at another time. This
year they have a good team; it
would have been really
competitive.’”
With nearly two-thirds of the
season over the Danes are enjoy-
ing a successful season. After los-
ing to Army in the opener the
Danes now stand at 5-1.

petition next weekend, Oct. 10-11

Paltz did not have a runner in the top 15.
When a team sweeps the first three
places in a cross country dual meet, they
are mathematically assured of a victory.
Thus when Vernon Miller, Chris Longo,
and Jim Clancy were the first three runners
to cross the finish line the Danes were able
to defeat North Adams by 18-37 and New
Paltz 15-50. This. extends Albany’s dual
meet record to 5-Oewith just two foes re-
maining on the schedule.
The Danes, displaying their extraor-
dinary depth won the meet by virtue of
their “‘stinger bee’? team. Though the
Danes rested their top runners they still
had easy victories, despite expecting a
rougher challenge from North Adams.
Clancy and Miller sprinted in front of
the pack right from the gun. Longo quick-
Jy joined them after a brief delay while ty-
ing his shoe. A few North Adams runners
before the mile mark.
Clancy later recalled, ‘‘I think just wear-
ing Albany uniforms intimidated them.
They [North Adams] broke easily, almost
too easily.’
That left three North Adams runners
battling with senior Michael Haus. Five
seconds behind them were North Adams
number four and five runners running
alongside sophomore Steven Silberglied
and freshman Carlos Chajon.
Miller, Longo, and Clancy passed the
halfway mark of the 5.25 mile course in
14:42, 25 seconds ahead of the rest of the
field.
By this point three of the North Adams
runners were fading as Haus, Silberglied
and the top two North Adams runners
passed the halfway mark at 15:09. New
Miller and Longo pushed the last mile of
the race with Clancy not far behind. As
usual Miller had an outstanding kick to
finish at 29:48, four seconds ahead of
Longo. Clancy finished next, at 30:08.
mile, finished well for Albany.
Miller, who won his second college
career cross country race, said, ‘‘We went
out there to keep our unbeaten streak
alive. It was a flat course so we felt we
should establish ourselves from the start,
and we did just that.”
For the last half mile Silberglied and the
two North Adams runners were within a
second of one another. It came down to a
Mike
Green held on, to place fourth at 30:32.
Silberglied took fifth place with the same
time. This represents a personal bet time
(converted to five miles) for which Albany
Head Coach Roberto Vives gave him
final kick where North Adams’
“runner of the meet” honors.
After the second North Adams runner
Haus finished right behind at 31:02.

Coach Vives, who senses an undefeated
season in his first year coaching Albany
cross country, beamed as he said, “I’m
real happy with our performance. This was
a good experience for a lot of guys. When
you could take the ‘B’ team and defeat
their varsity teams handily it says a lot for
our program.’”
Albany will face its second major invita-
tional when they travel to Lemoyne on
Saturday. The competition will be the last
major race before the Oct. 18 SUNYAC
championships. ia
Booters drop three despite heroics of Hensen
By Neil Fisher
Three tough losses in a row last week
pushed the Albany State women’s soccer
team below the .500 level. The Danes lost
hard fought contests to nationally ranked
Cortland and St. Lawrence and then suf-
fered a disappointing loss to Plattsburgh
to set their record at 3-4,
Prior to this the Danes landed two vic-
tories in a row over New Paltz and Capital
District rival Siena.
“Tt was like playing in a mudbowl,”’
said Albany Coach Suzanne Zaloom, com-
menting on the Danes’ 3-1 loss on Wednes-
day to St. Lawrence, the tenth ranked
team in the nation.
“There was water up to our ankles,”
said Zaloom. “‘The field was just not
playable, but that’s no excuse, we just
didn’t play our best game.”
The St. Lawrence squad outshot the
Danes 26 to 6 with All SUNYAC Center-
fielder Cheryl Hensen scoring Albany’s
only goal. Hensen was assisted on the play
by freshman Laura Pergolizzi.
On Tuesday the Danes lost a tough 2-1
match to Plattsburgh. The Cardinals
scored with 1:30 left in the second half in
what Coach Zaloom characterized as a
“bad game.””
“We went into the game expecting to
win, but we didn’t play our best game,”’
said Zaloom.
Again Hensen scored the Danes’ only
goal on an indirect kick. Hensen was
assisted by Pergolizzi.
The Plattsburgh team outplayed and
outshot the Danes 27 to 13. Albany State
keepers Jean Tierney and Karen Campbell
split 20 saves between them in the tough
Dane loss.
The Number One nationally ranked
Cortland team came into Dane territory
last Sunday and after a battle went home
with a 2-0 win.
“We played exceptionally well,”’ said
Zaloom. ‘‘Our defense was outstanding
with Kathy Parker, Maribeth Clark,
Maureen Hendricks, and Christy Zimmer-
man all playing exceptionally well.’’
Goalkeeper Tierney complimented the
tough Dane backfield with 12 saves against
a tough Red Dragon squad.
These three losses came after the Danes
tasted a bit of a winning streak. The young
squad defeated New Paltz and then Siena.
The 22nd of September saw the Danes
stop a fired up New Paltz team. The Danes
won with three seconds remaining on a
goal by All-SUNYAC midfielder Mary
By Brian Voronkov
On Tuesday, the Albany State
women’s cross country team split a
match with Smith College and Mount
Holyoke as the Danes compiled a score
of thirty-eight points.
Smith College scored a total of 17
points to win the trimeet. Their runners
finished in the top four spots. Smith
started off extremely strong for the first
table lead.
Sophomore Patti Williams was
leading the Danes for most of the meet,
but fell during the last fifty yards.
Luckily Williams was able to recover
from the fall to finish sixth.
“It was unfortunate that she fell,”
said Albany Head Coach Ron White.
“The heat.and. exhaustion just oyercame
two kilometers to build an insurmoun-
Dulkis.
“We should have dominated,”’ said first
year Coach Zaloom. ‘‘They [New Paltz]
played exceptionally well.”

field in protest
By Brian Bloom

Albany State soccer coach Bill Schieffelin had seen
enough.
Enough cheap shots, enough yellow cards, and
enough “‘unjust officiating’? in Wednesday’s game
against Union College.
Enough to make Schieffelin pull his team off the
Union field, after a Dutchmen goal tied the score at 1-1
with 47 seconds left in the half.
Schieffelin’s decision meant the Danes forfeited the
game to Union, ranked 17th in the nation in Division
IIL, by a 1-0 score. a
The rough play escalated into a full-tilt fight when
Albany’s Mike Jasmin and Dave Tewksbury of Union
exchanged punches in a fight that turned into a bench-
clearing brawl] with less than six minutes remaining in
the first half.
Referee Robert Gautheir threw Jasmin out of the
game, issuing a red card that forbids him to play in the
team’s next game against New Paltz October 8.
But Tewksbury received only a yellow card, which is
only a warning, allowing him to stay in the game. Two
yellow cards would have resulted in his ejection and his
being declared ineligible to play in the next game.
Albany State’s Bill Knapp had been issued a yellow
card earlier in the game. Within the last three minutes
of the half, Tihan Presbie, Mark Cohen and James
DeBritz all had been issued yellow cards as well.
‘When Bob Crandall was given a ‘‘gift’’ score for
(Union, with 47 seconds left in the half, Schieffelin felt
ithe refs had helped Union enough and pulled his team
off the field. Schiefflin called the goal ‘‘no goal’’ and
the game “‘no game.’’ However, the Danes had’no win
and instead of a 1-1 tie, they had a 1-0 league
forfeiture.
Never in his 23-year tenure as coach of the Danes has
Schieffelin ever seen two players involved in a fight
that led to only one player being ejected._‘‘The ref
didn’t have control of the game,”’ said Schieffelin.
The coach elaborated on Wednesday’s ordeal, feel-
jing uneasy about the outcome. “‘It’s disturbing. You
leave with a void. We had no sense of who won or who
lost,”” he said.
Aldo Nardielb, assistant coach of the Danes, said it
appeared clearly on the replay shown on local televi-
sion stations that Tewksbury kicked Jasmin below the
midsection to start the fight. “‘They both fought,’’ he
said, ‘they both should have been ejected.””
“*] felt it would be unsafe for our players to continue
the game,”’ said Schieffelin. ‘‘It seemed like something
major was going to happen. If an A-bomb is to go off,
you don’t have people stand around it.””
Penalty cards were flying around in all directions.
“Ail in our direction,” said. Schieffelin. “‘Like
lollipops,” said Nardielb, adding, ‘‘Three in two
minutes. Right there, that gives you the indication
something was wrong.”’
How could it happen? Some players thought Union’s
national ranking gave them privileges with the refs,
reserved for calls that would otherwise go against
Union.

Great Danes meet Springfield
By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER
Talk about the Terrible Two’s.
Tonight, the Great Danes will put
their two-game winning streak on
the line by travelling to Springfield
Mass. to play the 0-2 Division II Spr-
ingfield College Chiefs.
A win for Albany would be their
second consecutive victory over their
opponent in as many years.
But the comparison doesn’t end
there. Springfield also holds a two-
game, (5-3), lifetime edge over the
Danes. And it’s that edge, combined
with their Division level and size,
that earns Springfield College
somewhat more concern on the part
of the Danes than did their last two
opponents; Brockport and RPI.
“Springfield is always good com-
petition for us, ’’ said Albany head
coach Bob ‘Ford, a Springfield
graduate who coached at the college
in 64 and ’69. ‘‘Ever since they’ve
been on the schedule, we’ve had
good games against them.”’
Tonight’s game figures to be
another one. Springfield may be 0-2
at this point, but that record could
be deceptive. Their first loss was a
close 29-26 contest against american
International College, a perenial Div
Il NCAA Championship contender,
and was the result of a last-minute
AIC touchdown. Their second loss
came at the hands of a traditionally
tough Southern Connecticut, 37-14.
“They're a strong team,”’ said
Albany’s offensive-line coach Ed
Zaloom. ‘‘We have the ability to
out-quick and out-execute them, but
not to out-power them. And since
they’re a Div II program, we won’t
out-talent them either.””
“They’re a typical Springfield
team,” said defensive line coach
Tom Foggarty who along with
Zaloom™ scouted the Springfield-
Southern Conn. game. “‘They’re
physical, aggressive, and talented.
They have a big-play offense. They
have a knack for getting whatever
needs to be done on the big plays.””
The main factors behind Spr-
ingfield’s offensive sucess are
quarter-back Jim D’Antonio and
tight-end Steve Smith. Both are
seniors and captains.
“D’Antonio is an excellent
athlete,” said Fogarty. ‘‘He runs the
football well, and he’s got a great
arm. We’ll have to contain him in
order to be successful.”’
“Smith is an excellent blocker and
an excellent reciever, ’? continued
Fogarty. ‘‘He’s also an excellent
punter.””
The 6’4’’, 220-lb. Smith is among
the national leaders in punting with a
43.3 average, (14 punts for 606
yards). Smith also leads the Chiefs in
touch downs with two, and is second
in receiving.
D’Antonio is the Chief’s leading

passer, with 19 complete passes in 45
attempts for a .422 percentage and
277 yards.
‘Against AIC he threw real well,’’
said Springfield head coach Mike
DeLong. ‘‘But we haven’t played
well offensively as a whole. We’ve
missed some big plays.””
The problems can be attributed in
part to the fact that the Springfield
offensive line, although big, is
relatively inexperienced.
“The whole line is big,” said
Fogarty, ‘‘but they’re all
sophomores and one senior. Young
players have trouble picking up
blitzes and stunts. They’ve also had
a lot of holding penalties, which can
be attributed to the youth of the
line.”
The Springfield offense will be
further weakened by the fact that
several athletes were injured last
week in the Southern Connecticut
game. Three of the Chief’s leading
rushers, Tony Smart, Andy
Bellagamba and Smith were said to
be ‘‘probable for the game” by
DeLong, but not definite.
‘*We have a bunch of
possibilities,” said DeLong, “‘But
we’re not saying anything definite.”
Defensively, the Chiefs have yet to
perform well this season.
“We haven’t been able to stop
much of anything this year,” said
DeLong. ‘‘Southern Connecticut
had a lot of success against us.’’
But unlike the Springfield offense,
the defense suffered no important
injuries last week. )
“They got pretty banged up
against Southern Connecticut,”’ said
Zaloom, ‘But their defense remain-
ed intact. They’re very strong‘up the
middle.”
The Danes are most concerned
with defensive back Skip Hanson,
who leads the Chiefs in tackles with”
22, and 6°3”’, 230 Ib. linebacker Bill
Delancey.
“‘We’re a lot smaller than they
are,” said Zaloom. ‘‘We’ll have to
rely on good technique and thinking.
We need to get the ball to the
perimeters, where the less experienc-
ed kids are.”
Springfield’s main concern is to
contain the wishbone offense.
“That’s the most obvious thing, *”
said DeLong. “It’s the most dif-
ficult. We want to get our defense
off the field as soon as possible.”
DeLong is most impressed with
the play of halfback Ro Mitchell.
“He just jumps right out at you,”
said DeLong. ‘‘All their backs are
solid, but he’s the one who jumps
out at you.”
Additionally, DeLong singled out
Dane quarterback Jeff Russell as
another key player. i
“Russell does a nice job of leading
attacks,’’ said DeLong. “He makes
good decisions and does a good job
leading the wishbone.”
One Dane DeLong will not miss
this weekend is split-end Wayne
Anderson, who will be out with a
broken hand.
“We're not going to miss him,’’
said DeLong. ‘‘He’s dominated the
