IFC plans to enforce stricter guidelines

By Marc Guillame

The future is changing fast for
over 1700 SUNYA students,
since the Intra-Fraternity
Council (IFC) has undertaken
the task of bringing its member
fraternities under more strict
control.

Fraternities first appeared on
the SUNYA campus in about
1983. IFC President Craig
Snyder described IFC, which
was formed in 1985, as an after-
thought. The IFC was “plagued
by less then dedicated
leadership,” Snyder said which
left SUNYA without, “a strong
fraternity community.”

According to Snyder, IFC’s
main job is to “set policies,
guide (the fraternities), and
enforce (the council’s
decisions).” The Ifc is vaguely
modeled after the US Congress,
Snyder said. At present there are
twenty member fraternities: 18
full, one probationary, and two
applicant members, he said.
Only the full members have full
voting rights, Snyder said.

Starting last April, Snyder
said, the IFC began enforcing
old rules and changed the
constitution (so it is) more
responsive to the individual and
the whole system.” This, along
with the improved leadership
and controls, has made the frat
system, “No longer... a free-for-

all,” Snyder said.

One of the major symbols of
IFC’s new control over it’s
member fraternities is the
initiation of Dry Rush, Snyder
said. Rush events used to have a
lot of alcohol, he said. By more
than a two thirds decision of the
central council, alcohol has been
banned from rush events, Snyder
said. “It was a step in the right
direction,” Snyder said.

The IFC has also taken control
of what posters can be posted.
Before a member fraternity
distributes posters and
pamphlets, the materials must
first be approved by an IFC
committee, Snyder said.

According to Snyder, the
leaders of the fraternities have
shown a positive reaction to the
changes. The individual
members are, “Going through an
adaptation period,” he added.
Snyder pointed out that it is hard
to go from a very loose system
to a much more rigid system in
‘one year.

The reforms of IFC and the
fraternity system began when Dr.
Livingston, vice-president of
Student Affairs, sent a letter to
the IFC, along with the other
Greek groups, Pan-Hellenic and
SUNY Panhellenic, last March.

chairman for IFC, said that the

dramatic growth in the fraternity
system in the past couple of
years, Snyder said. Along with
this growth, Snyder said there
was roughly seven more national
fraternity societies which wanted
to come into the Albany campus.
“The frats are just lining up to
come here,” he said.

“Their progress seems to be
going well,” York said citing a
comment he had heard;”The
frats have done more since
March than they have in the last
three years.”

Student extinguishes
fire in Brubacher Hall

A student single handedly extinguished a small fire
that caused the evacuation of Brubacher Hall on

At approximately 9:00 pm, a fire broke out in the hall
located on Alumni Quad.

As students poured out of the building, Robert
Holmes, a Brubacher resident, remained. “I was leaving

ithe study, and walking down the hall, when I heard one
lof the room fire alarms go off,” Holmes said. Holmes
then motioned to one of the resident directors that was
with him and together they searched for the fire’s'
location.

After finding it, Holmes then ran into the Quad office,
announced the fire’s location, and ran for the fire
extinguisher.

“T crouched down, opened the door and sprayed. The:
first two times I sprayed it, the fire went out and then!
icame back again. When I sprayed it the third time, it
finally went out but I kept spraying it anyway just to be
safe,” Holmes said. “I was also yelling for everyone to
keep away,” he said.

“That kid did a great job," one firefighter said."He’
saved us from a lot of work. The fire might have been a
lot worse if that kid hadn’t acted when he did.”

—

Agreement reached

Moscow, U.S.S.R.
(AP) Saudi Arabia and the Soviet Union
reached a preliminary agreement yesterday tc
restore diplomatic relations after a break of
more than 50 years, the official Tass news
agency reported,

Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard
Shevardnadze and his Saudi counterpart, Prince
Saud Al-Faisal Al Saud, also called for the
immediate withdrawal of Iraqi troops from
Kuwait, Tass said.

Shevardnadze said the two nations reached a
preliminary agreement to restore diplomatic
relations, and he hoped the questions would be
settled fully after the Saudi minister met with
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev, Tass said.

“The issue of establishing official contacts
between the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics and Saudi Arabia has long been
ripe,” a Foreign Ministry official, Sergei
Kirpichenko, was quoted by Tass as saying.

Kuwaitis flee

Khafji, Saudi Arabia
(AP) Kuwaitis flooded.into Saudi Arabia
Sunday with tales of terror and anarchy at home
as word spread that Iraq had opened the border
for the first time in a month.

At least 1,5000 refugees were expected to
cross over Sunday, border officials said. About
1,000 crossed Saturday, and they gave grim
reports of dwindling food supplies and Iraqi
troops blowing up the homes of suspected
tesistance fighters.

The refugees said word first began spreading
Friday that the Iraqis had lifted restrictions on
departure through Khafji, the only official point
of entry between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The
post had been closed for about a month,

The Iraqis made no announcement of the
border opening and the refugees could only
speculate on why they had done so.

Some said Iraqi troops wanted access to the
homes of departing Kuwaitis. Others said it was
part of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s long-
term plan to repopulate Kuwait with Iraqis.

Candidacy announced

Warsaw, Poland
(AP) Solidarity chairman Lech Walesa
announced yesterday shat he will run for
president of Poland.

“Yesterday I made up my mind. I putting
forward for society's approval my readiness to
be a candidate for the post of president of the
Polish Republic in popular elections,” Walesa
said in a statement issued from Solidarity
headquarters in Gdansk.

“For me, it is a fulfillment of the pledge I
made in August 1980,” the Solidarity chairman
said, when he was catapulted to fame by a
leading role in strikes that led to the formation
of the East bloc’s first independent labor
federation.

Post-Communist Poland's first fully
democratic presidential and parliamentary
elections are expected as early as this fall and
no later than the spring.

Walesa has suggested for nearly a year that
he might run for president to speed political
and economic reforms. In June, he said, “I do
not want to be president: I will have to be
president.”

General relieved

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Mike
Dugan, was relieved of his duties yesterday,
the Pentagon said.

The action came one day after Dugan was
quoted in published reports as saying U.S.
military authorities had concluded that
massive air strikes are the only effective way

of forcing Iraq out of Kuwait if war erupted,
Dugan was on a tour of U.S. military
installations in Saudi Arabia when he made his
comments.

Lt. Col. Rick Oborn, a Pentagon spokesman,
said he could not immediately comment on the
reason for Dugan’s dismissal. He said a formal
announcement was being prepared.

Dugan commanded the U.S. Air Force in
Europe before his appointment as chief of staff
three months ago.

On Sunday, National Security Adviser Brent
Scowcroft distanced the administration from
Dugan’s comments, which appeared in the Los
Angeles Times and The Washington Post.

“I would just point out that Gen . Dugan is
not in the chain of command, and he does not
speak for the administration,” Scowcroft said.

Cow maims one

Wilson, N.C.
(AP) Former North Carolina Gov, Jim Hunt
suffered a broken collarbone, multiple broken

ribs and bruises when a cow with a newborn
calf charged him on his farm, hospital officials
said.

“He is comfortable and stable,” said Gail
Reardon, nursing supervisor at Wilson
Memorial Hospital, where Hunt was taken
after the accident Saturday.

He was expected to be hospitalized for up to
three days for observation, Ms. Reardon said.

Hunt, 53, a Democrat, served as governor
from 1977 through 1984. He ran in a highly
publicized campaign for the U.S. Senate
against Jesse Helms, R-N.C., in 1984.

Awareness grows

Albany
(AP) Some New Yorkers are altering their
buying habits to reflect increasing
environmental awareness and avoiding
companies that are perceived as shirking their
environmental responsibilities, a survey has
found.

The survey discovered that 25 percent of
those polled have stopped using certain
products and brands because they view the
manufacturers as “environmental polluters.”

“This is a sizeable minority of consumers.
It’s not just some cuckoo bird fringe,” said
Albert Ungar, president of Century Research
Corp. in Ridgefield, Conn., which conducted
the study.

Six hundred New Yorkers took part in the
June survey, which was conducted by
telephone. There are 13.5 million adult
consumers in New York state.

Ungar said he knew of no other survey that
specified how many people had actually
stopped buying certain products and
patronizing certain manufacturers,

Food contaminated

Rotterdam
(AP) Goulash that sickened dozens of
elementary school students last week was
contaminated with salmonella bacteria, state
health officials said.

The state Health Department found
the bacteria Saturday, one day after 75 of the
434 children at the Jefferson elementary
school in Rotterdam called in sick. Three
children were hospitalized with intestinal
ailments after eating the stew served
Wednesday in the school cafeteria, said Peter
Drabkin of the state Health Department.

Health officials are also testing the goulash
served at the nearby Woestina elementary
school, where 25 students called in sick on
Friday.

Salmonella can infect meat when it is not
cooked at a high enough temperature. It can
cause diarrhea and nausea.

Students afflicted by the bad cafeteria food
may not have been alone, however. Jefferson
principal Ross Stagnitti was sick in bed on
Saturday and couldn’t come to the phone, his

wife said. It wasn’t known whether Stagnitti
ate the stew,

Fraternities initiate dry rush

By Brigitte Foland

Alcohol will not be a part of
Rush this fall, due to a dry rush
policy implemented among ail of
SUNYA’s fraternities by Inter
Fraternity Council (IFC).

The IFC serves as a
governency body for the twenty-
one fraternities on campus, Craig
Snyder, IFC president, said, “The
main objective(of IFC) is to steer
the fraternities in the right
direction,” Snyder said.

In April 1989, IFC announced
it’s decision to implement a dry
Tush program for this fall, Snyder
said. The decision passed by a

* 2/3 vote of the IFC, he said.

Snyder said dry rush means a
no alcohol policy once rush
begins. Rush is scheduled 17th

-through September 25th. “By

imposing dry rush, the idea is to
enhance the atmosphere making
tush a more quality event as well
as cutting down the risk of

accidents and liability, Snyder
said.

In an event where a fraternity
is caught not adhering to dry
tush rules, Snyder said th
fraternity will face: possible
suspension, social probation,
liability fines, and loss of
permanent IFC status.
He also added the
fraternity could
be reported to
the national
fraternity board
and would lose
fraternity status
on campus.

Two SUNYA
fraternity members
expressed their unhappiness with
dry rush. “Although it may clean
up the fraternity image,” one
fraternity member stated,
“fraternities have acted in a
responsible manner i the past and
it’s hard to control the actions of
large groups of people.”

Another SUNYA fraternity
member said “It’s simply hard to
gain people’s interest unless it’s
in the form of a party.”

Dry rush has been successful
at other colleges. Mark Wyant, a
member of Sigma Phi Epsilon at
Renssalear Polytechnic
Institute(RPI) said,
“Dry rush has
become a well
established
choice for a
considerable
number of
fraternities over
the last five
years.”

Wyant also

said dry rush has both pros

and cons. “Dry rush has been in

effect at RPI for two full years

and it’s hard to maintain a

fraternity under those
conditions,” Wyant said.

Poor turnout for events as well
as a steep cost increase are the
major drawbacks, Wyant said.

Better Business

Bureau to open

office in the Capitol Region

By Tom Murnane

The Better Business Bureau Foundation
Committee of the Capitol Region (BBBFC) met
last Wednesday with the Albany County Chamber
of Commerce, on the heels of an endorsement for a
regional Bureau from the Southern Saratoga
County Chamber of Commerce.

According to a press statement released by the
Chamber, the proposed Bureau would be
“beneficial to the community” and is a “needed
addition to the usual roles played by the chambers
of commerce.”

On Friday, Attorney General Robert Abrams and
Chair/Executive Director of the State Consumer
Protection Board Richard Kessel, echoed the
Southern Saratoga Chamber with endorsements of
their own,

According to a press release, the role of the
Bureau has been to mediate disputes, alert area
residents of scams and frauds, and advocate fair
and ethical advertising and business practices.
Merilee Marsh, Chair of the BBBFC, said she was
enthusiastic about working to “strengthen
consumer confidence in the region’s workplace.”

Marsh met with Wally Altes, president of the
Albany Chamber, to address several Board
members’ concerns. One question, Marsh said, was
whether or not the Bureau would duplicate any
chamber activities.

The only duplicated area, Marsh said, was that

both groups were, “working for community
betterment,” and she added, “the BBB doesn’t walk
under the Chamber’s umbrella, and they don’t walk
under ours.”

Marsh citing the difference between the Bureau
and the Chamber, said while the Bureau would
serve a watchdog type role, the chambers have
traditionally promoted economic and professional
development, as well as business networking and
legislature lobbying activities.

Altes also addressed a question about the
possible competition for various trade association
dues between the Chamber and the Bureau.
“Chambers in other regions, such as the Buffalo
Chamber, have indicated they were able to co-exist
with the Bureau,” he said. “There haven’t been any
significant problems with business choosing one
organization over the other,” Altes said.

According to Altes, a decision about the Bureau
would not be made until October, allowing the
Board to enough time to complete their
investigation. Though he would not indicate how
he thought the vote would go, both he and Marsh
noted that many chamber members would also be
involved with the Bureau.

“The most immediate effect the Bureau's
presence would have on the Chamber,” Altes said,
“would be to reduce the number of phone calls the
Chamber’s office received, most of which were
asking for the Bureau’s phone number.”

Meatloaf performs in ey established Fallfest

By Marlon Dorn
Saturday afternoon, nearly 200 SUNYA students

gathered in the formal gardens behind the Campus
Center to enjoy Fallfest, a free outdoor concert sponsored
by Student Association (SA) and University Concert
Board (UCB).

Fallfest, created by SA programming director Paul
Faulhaber and University Concert Board (UCB)
President, Scott Goodman was the first event of its kind.
“T hope that we have started a tradition,” Faulhaber said.
“We want to keep the momentum from the summer going
well into the fall semester by scheduling many events
that all students can participate in and enjoy.”

The afternoon’s main attraction was Meatloaf, whom
Faulhaber described as “the most generic band we could
afford that would attract a diverse group of people.”

Special guests included John Smaels and Even The
Odd. Faulhaber said he was disappointed with the turnout
of African-American and Hispanic students. “We don’t
try to cater to nly the white students. We looked hard for
a Rhythm and Blues band, but they all were out of our
price range,” Faulhaber said. “We try for too much
diversity, the event will not be successful,” he added.

The show started at about 3:00 pm with John Smaels

Five Quad looks to change it

By Jessica Grabowski

Five Quad, SUNYA’s
volunteer ambulance service,
would like students to “get to
know us (Five Quad)” better,
James Rifino, president of the
service, said.

“We're not a bunch of geeks”
Jodilynn Greico, community
training officer and Emergency
Medical Technician(EMT) said.

“Most of what Five Quad has
gotten from the SUNYA
community in the past is bad
press,” Rifino said. “We’re not
here for pats on the back, we’re
here to service the community,”
he said.

“The reward is when you're
appreciated,” Rifino continued,
“Like the other day when I ran
into a patient in class and she
said ‘thanks for the help, I’m
glad you were there,”

We don’t get any monetary
compensation for what we do,
our compensation comes from
servicing the community,”
Rifino said.

Besides ambulance calls,
Rifino said, Five Quad provides
other services including training
in Standard First Aid and C-PR.,
transports for ill students and
athletic stand-by.

Five Quad takes anyone who
volunteers regardless of their
training level, Rifino said. “We
will take anyone and train
them,” he said.

New volunteers start out as
dispatchers who match crews to
ambulances and send them out

on calls, Rifino said.

Five Quad is funded by S.A.
and consists of two New York
State certified ambulances and
“extremely well-trained
personnel,” Rifino said. “We
sent 20 people through EMT
class last spring and 4 more over
the summer, he said.

According to Rifino, in order
to become an EMT, one must
take a 110 hour course,
participate in drills, and
complete 10 hours of hospital
observation. Completion of the
course and certification requires
passing a practical exam in
addition to a N.Y. State written
examination, Rifino said.

If Five Quad did not exist as a
service for the students,
emergency service calls would
be directed to the Albany Fire
Department, Rifino said, who is
contracted with two paid
ambulance services, Mohawk
and Capital District Ambulance.
“For a routine trip to the hospital
using one of these ambulance
services you would pay a
minimum of $150.00, and they
can charge you extra for
everything from lifting the
stretcher to providing oxygen,”
Rifino said. “All we’re asking
from students is $20.00 over
four years by checking the $5
Five Quad box on their tuition
bill,” he said.

“Think of it as an insurance
policy,” Rifino said. “By giving
a $20 donation it’s like health
insurance, in case anything

“We like to think we’re
different from the other groups
on campus because we service
everybody,” Rifino said. “We
don’t care if you’re from AEII
or DOT, we will still service
you,” he said.

Five Quad receives
approximately three calls per
day, Rifino said. Last year there
was a total of 600 calls from the
University community Rifino
said.

“This is a necessary service
for the students,” he said.

Five Quad has two
ambulances: one a 1985 and the
other a 1986, Rifino said. “That’s
not old for a car,” Rifino said,
“But an ambulance carries a lot
of heavy equipment and is

driven by many different drivers
as well as being driven hard and
fast,” he said.

“The problem in replacing the
ambulances is money,” Rifino
continued. “We just don’t get
enough from the $5 check-off; a
new ambulance would cost
between 50 and 60 thousand
dollars,” he said.

“The only way to get that kind
of money would be if every
student gave $5 per year,” he
said, “but only 1/4 of the
students do and the ambulance

suffers.”
Rifino stressed that the
ambulances are in good

condition and are  well-
maintained. It is just costing
more to keep them in good
condition since they are older,

Rifino said.

New alcohol program aimed at non-abusers

By Kerri Lewis
NEWS EDITOR

Last May, taking a “proactive” stance on alcohol
treatment, Scott Mims became Coordinator of Alcohol
and Substance Abuse on Campus.

“We're trying to identify students with problems
before they get into serious trouble,” Mims said. “(Not
to catch the probiem early) is like putting an ambulance
at the bottom of a hill,” Mims explained.

Twenty percent of college students are addicted to a
substance, Mims said. “It’s the 80 percent of students
that aren’t current;y abusing a substance that we'd like
to focus on. That’s the pivotal point at which we can
intervene,” he said.

According to Mims, another one of his goals is to
“develop a comprehensive community prevention
program.” “I want to look at all levels of the community;
especially incoming freshmen and Greeks,” Mims said.

Mims said he would like to work with the Greek
community in promoting a responsible image of alcohol
use.

“Freshmen have come to me because they feel
pressure about drinking,” Mims said. “We have to
examine practices that make people feel alienated for
choosing healthy lifestyles,” he said.

Misinformation, Mims said, is the culprit of most

students’ problems with substances. “Students have a lot
of misconceptions about what it takes to get drunk and
the effects of certain drugs.”

Mims said that there will be full time professionals
associated with Residential Life available on each Quad
to help students with drug and alcohol issues. He calls
this “an early intervention system.”

Mims’ office will be promoting several programs this
year. “We are preparing to initiate a SADD chapter here
on campus,” Mims said.

Mims said the chapter is being introduced due to
overwhelming student demand. “17 percent of incoming
freshmen were actively involved with SADD while in
high school,” Mims said.

Mims is also working in conjunction with Campus
Life, to initiate programs addressing the legal
ramifications of serving alcohol at parties.

“J don’t think students realize that complications that
can arise just from serving alcohol at a party; you are
legally responsible for your guests,” Mims said.

Mims said the University “is setting up a system that
is positively going to set up services for the student
community.” “We are counting on getting students
heavily involved at every level because they are the key
to our work,” he said.

Don't Walk Alone gets new coordinator and new ideas

By Tom Murnane

The Don’t Walk Alone(DWA) Safety
Escort Program, entering it’s seventh year
of operation, can look forward to some
changes this semester, thanks to the
efforts of it’s new coordinator Lisa Lynch.

Lynch, a SUNYA graduate student,
said she is looking forward to
strengthening and broadening the
program, as well as increasing the
public’s level of safety awareness.

One of her firts moves, Lynch said, was
to expand the DWA’s hours of operation

at the uptown library: The new hours are
Sunday- Thursday, 8:00pm-11:15pm.

“Not too many people are aware of this,
but people can call the DWA office and
the call is automatically forwarded to the
Library or the Campus Center, depending
on where the shift captain is based,”
Lynch said. “This way, someone on the
quads can get escorts sent there and then
be accompanied, say, back to the
Library."

Lynch said her goal is to have fifteen

shift captains for the coming year, five
more than the current amount. The
captains, she said, are responsible for
receiving phone calls, and then
dispatching escorts to the requested
locations.

Scalia said the next project for DWA is
to establish a service on Alumni Quad.

On Fridays and Saturdays, the service is
based in the Campus Center from 10:30-
12:30 pm. DWA has enlisted the help of
Alpha Omicron Pi and Sigma Nu to
provide escorts for those hours.

Both Lynch and Scalia said the most
powerful advocate for safety is an alert,
educated public. The biggest problem is
“apathy and ignorance,” Lynch said,
indicated by such common phrases as “I
can take care of myself,” or “I’m just
parked over there.”

The DWA office wants people to learn
to call for an escort, rather than walk
alone, Lynch said, adding, “It should be
as automatic as putting shoues on, every
day.”

Conditions remain bleak
on Jordan-lraq border

By Paul Hoverstein

NEAR THE IRAQI BORDER,
Jordan — It’s called “No Man’s
Land,” but the 42-mile stretch of
desert between Jordan’s last
border post Ruweished and
Iraq’s boundary is teeming with
humanity.

Tens of thousands of starving,
thirsty South Asians are holed
up in two makeshift camps amid
the dust, rocks and scorpions.
The sun beats mercilessly on
them by day; chilly winds whip
their tents at night.

They are “the hostages of the
desert” in the exodus from Iraq
and occupied Kuwait, says
Xavier Emmanuelli, president of
the Paris-based Doctors Without
Borders.

“If the international community
does not pay attention, it will be
a catastrophe,” says the French
doctor. He says many of the
desert’s new inhabitants are city
dwellers unaccustomed to such
rigors.

But they are stuck in desolate
terrain and unsanitary conditions
until thousands of others at
crowded camps inside Jordan are
sent home.

Those waiting here at camps
Shaalan One and Shaalan Two
are in political limbo in a
disputed territory, though
Jordanian relief workers treat
them and Jordanian soldiers
keep order.

The French doctors estimate
there are some 16,000 Asians in
Shaalan One, which lies about 5
1-2 miles past Ruweished.
Another 31,000 are jammed into
Shaalan Two, 18 miles further
into the desert.

“The situation is worse at
Shaalan Two,” says Michel
Klerc, one of the doctors. “There
simply is not enough food and
water.”

International efforts are under
way to evacuate the desert
tefugees, with officials from the
International Committee of the
Red Cross, the U.N. Disaster
Relief Organization and the
European Economic Community
all trying to organize passage
home. -

Charter flights from Jordan’s
capital Amman began loading
Bangladeshis on Tuesday,
following Monday’s evacuation
of Sri Lankans. India is raising
its number of daily flights to
eight.

But with thousands more
pouring in daily from Iraq to
replace those leaving, officials
see no slowing of the revolving
door, The doctors plan to open a
third camp in the “No Man’s
Land” by Thursday.

“It’s technically not possible
the day people arrive to have
tents and everything put in place
at the same moment,” says
Christian Falkowski, head of the
EEC delegation for the refugees,
who says $8-$9 million has been
spent so far.

At Shaalan Two, parched men,
women and children huddle
under bedsheet tents in utter
despair — waiting for their
single daily meal of a flat pita
bread and perhaps a tomato,

There is water at the camp,
which encompasses about a
square mile. But the smaller
enclaves, like the 1,400
Filipinos, claim larger groups of
several thousand Indians and
Bangledeshis take more than
their share and dominate
distribution.

“We're not getting a chance to
take the water,” says Henry
Lacerna, 29, formerly an
instrument technician in Kuwait
who has been here six days —
the last two without water, he
says. “They don’t have any
system here.”

Ruhiton Begum, 32, a
Bangledeshi housemaid, says the
terrain — rocks covered by
perhaps half an inch of dust —
makes resting impossible.

“T have trouble sleeping and
we have no blankets for a
cushion,” she says.

The noon meal is a pitiful
affair.

A truck trailer with two tons of
bread and tomatoes pulls off the
road and past the tents, about
half a mile into the desert where
countless tiny piles of excrement
lie blackened by the sun.
Thousands of Asians, coveriny _

their heads with towels or
holding rickety umbrellas
against the sun, straggle out to
within 50 yards of the truck.

Prodded by Jordanian troops,
they make a giant funnel
formation with a single line
leading to the truck. Those in
front squat dutifully, awaiting
their turn.

Suddenly, the mob in back
surges forward, disrupting the
formation. Soldiers swing their
nightsticks to ward off the
frenzied crowd and the truck
pulls ahead a few hundred yards
until order is restored.

The routine is repeated several
times until the truck runs out of
food perhaps a mile and a half
into the desert. The thousands of
unfed shuffle wearily back to
their tents.

“Tt’s like this every day, except
it goes farther out,” sighs Abdul
Kareem, 35, a Pakistani
instrument technician.

The urgency to leave is
unmistakable. Reporters visiting
the camps are quickly encircled
and pressed to carry messages to
authorities.

“Our government doesn’t even
know we’re here. Please tell
them,” implores Bhuwan Pun,
28, a Nepalese Ghurka security
guard here. with 84 of his
countrymen on their fourth day.

“Our closest embassy is in
Saudi Arabia. We have passports
and money available, but that is
not enough. We need their help,”
he says.

Bad as conditions are, no
outbreaks of diseases have been
reported. Medical workers at
Shaalan Two treat about 300
people a day, mostly for
headaches, diarrhea or gastro-
intestinal illness.

Aspects on Tuesday

Had A Wonderful Time, Wish I Was There

Film is indeed a very enigmatic
convention. Like sports, games, and
other aspects of life, it has its queer
rules and set ways of doing things. Ifa
film professes to be of a certain genre,
there are certain elements it must
include. A post-nuclear holocaust film
will no doubt contain nomadic tribes of
marauders in an hostile atmosphere of
anomie. A horror film with a
psychopathic madman on the loose
will probably have a bevy of freely-
fornicating, stoned teenagers fatuously
venturing into a remote neck of the
woods so that they may be butchered,
one by one (and also a virtuous hero or
heroine that does not take part in their
debauchery). An action-adventure will
offer a brave muscle man who fires off
round after round of ostensibly
spontaneous one-liners upon disposing
of malevolent foes. A drama usually
centers upon tragedy to a family, or a
character with a personal tour de force
that makes us sob or feel empathy for
that person.

Clarence Eckerson

Yet, when you strictly adhere to the
rules, you can end up being branded
trite and uncreative by not only critics,
but by a movie-going public who will
pay to see the film, and then praise and
chastise it in the same sentence. It can
end up being a no-win situation.

Meryl Streep a boost of self-esteem.

So what do you do?

Simply put together a picture that
encompasses aggregate genres like the
wonderfully enjoyable Postcards From
the Edge, a film that smells like a
drama, tastes like a comedy, sounds
like a musical, and is surrounded by
subtle bits of movie-within-a-movie,
surreal, Hollywood magic.

With witty lines like, “Gain some
weight ...you’re no bigger than a
pound of soap after a long day’s
wash;” “You're the realist person I
have ever met in the abstract;” and,
my favorite, “If you have her on her
back — as the script indicates — her
tits are liable to slide off into her
armpits,” it’s no surprise that Postcards
has audiences doubling over from its
earthy realism. The screenplay (and it
is a dandy) was written by Carrie
Fisher, whose autobiographical tome
(also titled Postcards From The Edge)
served as the basic fodder for the
script. But, as the press notes warn,
this is not an entire translation. The
principle difference between the novel
and the movie is that, here, the mother-
daughter relationship has been
elevated to make it the central conflict.

Postcards tells the bittersweet story
of Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep), a
recognizable second-generation actress.
One afternoon she is rousted from an
amusing nightmare in which she is
scampering down a pristine-white
corridor lined with black and white
stills of famous celebrities (Elvis,
Marilyn, Belushi) who have allegedly
died of drug overdoses. Upon further
examination, she realizes she is in a
hospital ward, having had her stomach
pumped following her downing of a
potentially lethal dose of uppers. She
then reluctantly faces her problem,
spends a short stint in detox, and
attempts to make a comeback in the
business.

But upon her return, she runs into a
very unfriendly, and image- conscious
Hollywood hesitant to put her ina
blockbuster project. As a sort of
consolation prize, she takes the female
lead as a cop in a B-movie. Here,
director Mike Nichols uses the
Hollywood locale to play off of our
gullibility to believe anything, using
special effects, trap doors, and moving
props to distort reality. Suzanne is
flustered by her contract which

of days? Do alot of people get cheese
which needs to be aged or something? I
wonder.

That reminds me of another aged,
consumable product - beer. Does
anyone study in this place? It seems
that everyone just wants to get lost in
their bottles.

Getting lost is what I did in the
library, and guess what? I found this
funny room with films of newspapers
and laser disks the size of a vinyl. The
funny thing was that there wasn’t
anyone in there! Are people boycotting
the room or something? I couldn’t
understand, so I watched a couple of
movies. Not bad for free entertainment.

Now that we're on the library, why
do they give me a receipt when I return
a book. Hey guys! I didn’t buy the

Two Too Stubborn: Streep and MacLaine at a stand off.

requires her to undergo frequent urine
tests and to live with a “responsible
other” — namely her motormouth,
alcoholic mom, Doris Mann (Shirley
MacLaine).

The comic rapport between Streep
and MacLaine is the highlight of
Postcards. Streep, using that deep,
satirical speech pattern that Fisher is
unmistakable for, is a riot — what a
change from the unfunny floozy she
played in She-Devil. In Postcards, she is
unflinchingly perfect; she has her
comic timing down, her sarcastic barbs
seem real, and she looks more relaxed
in her second comic role. I guess it is
better that she rid herself of her rusty
noviceness in the gimmick trash She-
Devil , than waste her first try in
Postcards.

MacLaine (whose character is based
upon Fisher’s mom, Debbie Reynolds)
plays it dopey, giving Streep a
scapegoat to play off. Her Doris is out
of her prime; but still starving for the
limelight, she seizes every opportunity
to talk to the press. MacLaine’s
constant voguing, eye rolling, _ facial
gesticulations, and hubris brings to
mind a fractured, but a more stable
Norma Desmond of Sunset Boulevard.

The whole project is in the able
hands of Nichols (The Graduate,
Silkwood, Working Girl), who specializes
in films about the human condition.
Nichols is Postcards’ ace-in-the-hole.
He tends to let scenes play themselves
out, to hold the cameras in position
and let the actors do it all in one shot.
As a result, Postcards has very long
scenes with little or no cutting.
However, they are not drawn out.

They allow us to become acquainted
with the characters, and the longer the
scenes last, the more interesting they
become. Nichols is also subtly crafty.
For example, he never lets us see the
face of movie producer Jack Faulkner
(Dennis Quaid) when he is trying to
seduce Suzanne with false promises
and his “bedroom eyes” (as Shirley
MacLaine coins). As a result, we must
wait to see if Quaid is sincere.

There are a few guest performers
worth noting. Conrad Bain, as Streep’s
bumbling grandfather; Richard
Dreyfuss, as an emergency room
medic; and Rob Reiner, as a
hypocritical movie producer are all
exceptional. But, it is Gene Hackman,
ina very limited role, who delivers the
best stint of all. He plays Lowell, a big-
screen director who tenderly gives
Streep a psychological boost when she
is within danger of a relapse. The
sequence is very warm and magnetic.

Fisher has a real talent for writing
savagely funny dialogue. Her comedy
is very poignant and insightful. The
lines she writes have a very real, but
unnatural rhythm since sometimes she
has two.or three people speaking at
once. It works beautifully. I’m going
out on a limb; if nothing better comes
along by March, Carrie Fisher is a
shoe-in to win the Best Screenplay
prize at the Academy Awards. That is
an honor I bet she would cherish more
than being the immortal, Princess Leia.

And buying things, is there some

Athletics at this school are weird, too.

I doubt it.

I’m there?

It’s kind of a joke too (signs, I mean).
In the LC area, signs tell you not to exit

an emergency? Do the bods see the

No, maybe I should write about what

Aspects onTuesday

Shorty sits High In The saddle

Elmore Leonard’s novels are so
unusual, so peculiar, so quirky, you've
either got to love them or hate them.
As for Leonard’s latest, Get Shorty, I
love it. It breaks all the rules of popular
fiction, what with Leonard’s
roundabout style of storytelling and his
often despicable protagonists. If you
want to shove it into a particular genre,
Get Shorty would be a thriller, though
it’s like no thriller you’ve ever read —
unless you've been fortunate enough to
read such fine previous Leonard novels
as Freaky Deaky and the like.

Adam Meyer

The book is set in Hollywood, a town
which Leonard paints in a satirically
glamorous fashion, full of superficial
would-be actors and actresses, where
everyone is playing one role or another.

Everyone who isn’t in the movie
business wants to be, including drug
dealers and other sleazy characters.

The hero of Get Shorty is Ernesto
Palmer, better known as Chili, who
makes his living collecting money for
debts owed to loan sharks. He leaves
Miami for the West Coast, in pursuit of
a man named Leo Devoe. Leo was
supposed to be on board a plane which
later crashed, but he missed the flight;
he then left town with the settlement
money the airline paid to his wife, but
little does he realize Chili Palmer is
right on his tail.

Along the way Chili gets involved
with producer Harry Zimm, who
specializes in cheap horror flicks (a sort
of fictional Roger Corman), and
Harry’s former lover, actress Karen
Flores, whose strong vocal cords
propelled her to fame screaming in
movies like Grotesque, Part Two and
Slime Creatures.

Harry has a problem: he took the two
hundred grand he'd received from a
couple of investors to finance a new
movie, bet it on a Pistons-Lakers game,
and lost it. Now his investors — a
couple of dudes named Ronnie
Wingate and Bo Catlett, drug dealers
who launder their money by investing
it in films — want to know what's up.
Meanwhile Harry is also trying to get
backing for a mainstream movie called
Mr. Lovejoy, which he’s certain will be a
hit. To insure its success, he wants to
hire one of Hollywood's hottest actors,
Michael Weir, who just so happens to
be Karen Flores’ ex-husband.

As if this isn’t complicated enough,
Leonard throws in a nasty shylock
named Ray Bones. Many years ago,
Bones stole Chili Palmer’s jacket; Chili
reacted by beating Bones up and
shooting him. Bones, who is also in
pursuit of Leo Devoe, remembers what

Chili did to him, and begins to plot his
revenge.

And that’s just the basic set-up. In
the hands of a lesser writer, Get Shorty
would probably be an
incomprehensible mess. But Leonard
does a masterful job of weaving
together these characters and situations
into a whole which is far more than the
sum of its parts.

At one point, Chili pitches an idea to
Harry for a movie, which more or less
follows his own adventures in the
novel. The two of them start to talk it
out, changing details, restructuring it,
adding touches of sex and violence: in
essence, transforming life into art.

Which is what Get Shorty is all about.
It’s ludicrous, it’s touching, it’s
obnoxious, it’s edge-of-the-seat
suspenseful, but best of all, it’s by
Elmore Leonard. What more can you
ask for?

Contemporary Art Of The African Diaspora At The University Art Gallery

Standing with my back to the
fountain, I look out toward the flags
and the circle beyond. On my left
stands the administration building,
home to organizers of my educational
life. On my right stands the University
Art Gallery, home to creative life for
the world.

Marc Guillame

Inside the gallery, one finds an
exhibit worth viewing, Contemporary
Art of the African Diaspora. This title
describes the feelings toward a
homeland associated with those who
were taken from their ancestral lands.
Curator Marijo Dougherty wrote that
the exhibit deals with artists who
“share images of a common heritage of
spirituality, passion, morality, fervently
held faith, and tradition.”

An obvious theme running through
the exhibit is the pull of African culture
and art upon the Afro-American artist.
Vibrant colors and large, well-defined
figures predominate. The artists are
“going back to the roots,” explains
Andrew Boardman, a gallery assistant.
He pointed out that the exhibit is
basically of African-American themes,
which has been enormously

underrepresented in the past.

Perhaps the best known exhibitor is
Beverly Buchanan, whose exhibited
works include photos, a painting, and a
model on which the painting was
based. Her works focus on dwellings of
poor African-Americans. The photos
are of a shack which caught
Buchanan’s attention because it was
built by a single woman. Through the
photos’ dilation of time, one is able to
witness the dramatic deterioration
undergone by the house once the
owner had left.
well-

Romare Bearden is a

represented artist at the exhibit, with
nearly a whole wall devoted to his
works. His paintings display the
prominent colors and shapes
synonymous with this type of work. A
focus of his paintings is the common
life of his people. This includes a
painting titled “Jamming at the Savoy,”
portraying jazz artists at their craft.
Other paintings include more typical
household scenes which, even with.
their more mundane subject, show an
introspective use of color.

This exhibit, put together by gallery
director Marijo Dougherty, has been
described as the largest display of

African-American art in the Capital
District. Boardman sees the display as
an attempt to right the wrong of past
underrepresentation of this art form.

As a companion to the art exhibit,
there is an arrangement of children’s
books, which also deals with the
African-American theme. This display
is compiled from the University
Library

Contemporary Art of the African
Diaspora will be on exhibit through
Sunday, November 18th. The
University Art Gallery’s hours are:
Tuesday-Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.,
Thursday until 8 p.m., Saturday and
Sunday 1-4 p.m. The Gallery is closed
Monday. There is no fee, and all

How Can You Possibly Pass This Up?

EDITORIAL —

Why get involved?

So your class schedule is finally complete.
Your dorm room or house is actually looking
like a livable residence and not a condemned
tenement. You’ve bought all your books (or
shall I say financed them?) and abruptly
learned which bars are going to take that
expired temporary ID that says you’re 25 and
which ones will rip it up in your face.

So you’ve survived the first two weeks at
SUNYA and quickly learned that after all the
studying, sleeping and socializing is done
there is a good amount of time left over. Time
that could be better spent than analyzing
whether or not the mice will decide to visit
your room come winter. Time that, dare I say
it, could be used to, here comes that dreaded
term, “GET INVOLVED.”

Although Albany has had an apathetic label
attached to it the past few years, the fact
remains that there is something out there for
everyone. Here are a few “do’s,” and
“dont’s,” whén thinking about getting
involved.

Do take the initiative. If you think you
might at all be interested in a certain group or
activity, stop by their interest meeting or drop
by their offices.

Don’t listen to rumors. Despite what you
may have heard, an activity will not hurt your
academic or social life.

Do listen to those who are involved. Spend a
minute to hear about your neighbor's
fraternity or their latest story for the ASP.

Don’t become one of those people who
graduates with nothing more on their resume
than a degree. While it sounds corny, graduate
schools are actually interested in extra-
curricular activities.

Don’t use the excuse - “I want to wait until
after my freshman year.” freshman year is the
perfect time to slowly begin to get involved.
Four years is not as much time as it may
seem.

Do know your restraints. Getting tied up in
an activity that requires more hours than
you’re capable of putting in or more
experience than you have, is not wise. So
before you run for Student Association
president, join the Student Association.

Don’t give in to peer pressure. Don’t join a
specific group just because your suitemates
are. Find something that’s right for you.

Don’t lose your individuality. College is the
most important time of your life and you
should not let yourself be reduced to a
stereotypical group member. Distinguish
yourself.

So turn off that stereo, put down those
books and look around at what’s out there.
You just may be surprised.

COLUMN

How about a round on UAS?

There aren’t too many dry towns left in New York
State. Unfortunately, if you live on campus, you live in
one of them,

Morgan Lyle

When the Mets won the World Series in 1986, the Ratt
(or “McDuff’s,” or whatever it is) “roared with
excitement,” according to the Oct. 28, 1986 issue of the
ASP. I have friends who were there. The roaring was
lubricated with pitchers of cold beer. This was before the
Ratt looked like a hospital cafeteria: there was wood on
the walls, close-enough fake brick on the pillars, wooden
tables and chairs, and a full bar. It was a warm place
where you could celebrate, commiserate, hang out, hook
up, whatever; and as a place to watch the World Series, it
was just fine.

This was also before Governor Cuomo and the state
Legislature decided to protect you from yourself by
barring people under 21 from possessing, drinking or
thinking about alcohol. When that law took effect last
January, the trickle of beer left flowing in the “Pit Stop”
dried up for good.

The Mets have a good shot at facing the Red Sox again
in the Fall Classic, but you over-2lers who wind up
watching in the Ratt are going to have to settle for
guzzling Pepsi. And they'll probably shut that off in the
fourth inning.

I wouldn’t even bother with the old saw about the
hypocrisy of the 21 drinking age, except this year it’s a
little more potent, because there are thousands of 18-, 19-
and 20-year-olds frying like eggs in the Saudi Arabian
desert. New York State forbids them from enjoying a
cold beer when they get home.

The law is highly unlikely to change. But there is no
reason for University Auxiliary Services, a non-profit
corporation with a captive clientele of thousands, not to
repeal the prohibition.

In fact, UAS should open a pub - not sell pitchers for
an hour or two on a sporadic basis, but open a real, full
time pub - in this community of 10,000.

The Office of Institutional Research says there are
some 4,500 undergraduates over 21. Most of the 5,000 or
so grad students are over 21. Sure, many if not most live
off-campus, but there are still hundreds who live on. At
the end of their day they have two choices for adult
recreation: do without or travel.

Yes, there are Sutter’s and Across the Street Pub. If
you don’t mind schlepping across a vast unlit soccer field
past a construction site and several groves of trees. (For
that matter, many people wind up doing that anyway,
thanks to the splendid UAS decision not to sell cigarettes

on campus.)

And yes, there is bus service to the downtown saloon
circuit, but it ends just when the social scene is shifting
into high gear. So SUNYA pub-crawlers wind up driving
down Washington or Western. Most of them probably
make an effort to stay sober enough to get back in one
piece, but that’s not easy.

The notion that the new restrictions prevent UAS from
selling alcohol is ludicrous. The law hasn’t slowed
business at Michael’s, WT’s or any of the other watering

holes; if anything, they get more crowded each semester.

function, maybe even creating a little of that much
sought-after school spirit and campus unity (you
listening, Division I supporters?). It might ease the
congestion of the downtown bar scene and its
accompanying problems (catch that, administrators
troubled by community relations?). It would very likely
make UAS a ton of money (what do you say, Norb
Zahm?).

And more important, it would make this place more of
an adult community. Being an adult means living with
fewer restrictions but having to make tough, responsible
decisions. It happens to everyone sooner or later.
Artificially postponing it by making a major university
seem like a high school isn’t doing anyone a favor.

Cheers.

To the Editor:

My name is Sandeep Garwin and I am president of
Indian Quad Board. I was very pleased to see an article
on Quad Boards in your second issue of the Albany
Student Press. I feel that Indian Quad Board in unison
with the ASP will make an incredible combination!
Working with your staff members will be a delight.
Andrew Solomon wrote an excellent piece on Quad
Boards in your Friday, September 14th issue of the ASP.
1 hope that he, along with many of your staff members,
will be able to attend our weekly Indian Quad Board
meetings. They are held every Sunday at 8:30 p.m. in the
Skin Room.

This year, our Indian Quad Board executive board
went through full staff fall training. Our executive board
consists of me as president; Frances Atkinson as vice-
president; Diane Hodurski as secretary; and Justine
Barbieri as treasurer. We all work very closely and put
hard work and dedication into what we do. We have
planned a great year, perhaps the best Indian Quad has
had yet!

Our advisor is Ester Jackson. She is also a Residence
Director on Indian Quadrangle. We have meetings with
Ester on a regular basis. We would not be able to
function properly without her dedicated support and
enthusiasm. I plan to work with the other staff on the
Quad. We have R.A.'s, M.S.A.'s, S.A.'s, and an M.A.
who are also very cooperative and interested in working
with Indian Quad Board. The professional staff members
are also very concerned and helpful toward Indian Quad
Board. I would like to thank them all personally for their
undivided support thus far and add an additional thank

you to Linda, our Quad Secretary, who makes Indian
Quad Board feel more at home. Thank you all!

We have planned a variety of projects to launch this
academic year from recreational projects, educational
functions, andmulti-cultural awareness programs to
many, many more enjoyable events that are not just
limited to the Quad. We want support from all the other
Quads, including their respective Quad Boards, and from
the entire university campus!

Thank you once again, ASP, for taking the time to read
my letter. It has meant a great deal to me and I hope to
work with you all very, very soon!

Angered by class time
change

To the Editor:

I would like to share the newest peeve common to
many students this year, concerning registration. I had
pre-registered and gotten the courses I wanted and
needed, and was happy in my deluded thought of not
having to experience the drop/add line for a semester.
However, I was rudely awakened from this dream on the
first day of classes, when I arrived at the location of the
class for which I was registered only to find another class
in session. I, as well as other baffled students in my class,
waited awhile to be sure that what we were thinking
happened was indeed true. Yes, the time and day of our
class was changed; this was quickly confirmed when a
number of students and I went to the department office.

None of us had received any notification of the change
during the summer, and now those of us who could not
accomodate the new class time in our pre-registered
schedules were left floundering for another class. This
was not an isolated incident. Many other students faced
the same problem with other classes in other departments
as well, This left me and many others with the frustration
of drop/add and the arduous search for a closed section
card.

Something should be done to ensure that the
information given in thepre-registration materials will
not change, otherwise the whole idea behind pre-
registration will be defeated. After all, what is the point
of giving students a false sense of security with respect
to their classes?

Share the joy of
students of color

To the Editor:

Amidst the proud self-realization and glorious
awakening of people of color come new obstacles: a lack
of understanding, and a fear and resentment of our fierce
pride from students without color.

They feel threatened (in the cases of students without
color who consider themselves sensitive) and even
amused when we speak of "white dominance" and when
we express our anguish to each other that white folks run
both the Student Association and the Albany Student
Press. Please understand that we were made to feel
ashamed and inferior because of our color; even
subhuman because of it. This is not ancient history. This
is Yusef Hawkins, this Tawana Brawley, this is Patrick
Swygert. Pat Swygert?! Our university president?! Yes,
even he -and on this campus- was made to feel inferior
because he is black and proud. I will not elaborate. That
story is for him to tell.

The fact is that while we once wore our color as a
badge of humiliation, then as a badge of honor, it is now
a part of our lives. We no longer wear it; we are it.

Do not ask us to leave it behind. Without it we are
nothing. Do not be threatened by our joy and love for all
things colorful. Instead, come join hands with us.
Celebrate the joy with us. Let us know you want to be
our brothers and sisters in equality. Show us by your
actions and we will love you.

Environmentalists hold rally

By David Steven

WASHINGTON — A grass-
roots environmentalist group
flexed its muscles in a rally at
the Capitol Sunday, calling for
Congress to protect old-growth
forests from clear-cut logging
and road construction.

The Save America’s Forests
rally attracted close to 800
people from throughout the
United States. Organizers said
the day-long event demonstrated
the heightened public concern
over the fate of the Pacific
Northwest forests.

“We’re seeing a very serious
destruction of our ancient forest
ecosystems,” said Mark
Winstein, a director of Save
America’s Forests, a coalition of
about 40 environmental groups
nationwide. “People want that to
change. They want their voices
to be heard.”

Grass-roots activism
surrounding the Pacific
Northwest timber controversy
will swing in the opposite
direction Monday, when about
200 timber workers and their
supporters from Oregon,
Washington, and northern
California are expected to meet
at the Capitol for a rally calling
for continued logging on federal
forest land.

Both groups plan to spend the
week lobbying U.S. lawmakers
as they work on legislation that
could bring historic change to
the way the Northwest forests
are managed.

Among the bills before
Congress are measures that
would protect millions of acres
of federal forest land from
logging and legislation aimed at
assuring a steady flow of logs
from federal forests to Northwest
timber mills.

The White House, meanwhile,
continues to delay its decision on
a plan to protect the northern
spotted owl, a threatened species
that inhabits the dense old-
growth forests of the Pacific
Northwest.

Save America’s Forests
supports a bill by Rep. Jim Jontz,
D-Ind., that calls for as much as
8 million acres of Northwest
timber to be preserved.

The group opposes several
other legislative proposals,
including bills by Republican
Sen. Mark Hatfield and
Democratic Rep. Les AuCoin,
both of Oregon, that would allow
continued logging of federal
forest lands in the Northwest, at
cutting levels close to those
currently allowed.

The rally’s atmosphere was
anything but militant. Musicians
performed acoustic folk tunes,
and audience members sang
along. Actor River Phoenix was
the most widely known speaker
at the event, which drew heavily
from college campuses.

‘Wendell Wood, conservation
coordinator for the Oregon
Natural Resource Council, said
he was heartened to see people
from all over the United States
calling for protection of
Northwest forests.

“This has become a national
issue. The people from all over
the country care about our

forests,” he said.

Many in the crowd supported
that view.

Ben Silver, a college student
from Cleveland, Ohio, said he
opposed current federal forest
management policies in the
Northwest because they allow a
few companies to profit from
trees that belong to the entire
country.

“This clear-cutting is going on
national forests that belong to all
Americans — regardless where
you live or whether you’re ever
going to step foot there or not,”
he said.

Save America’s Forests was
formed recently by a group of

environmentalists dissatisfied
with such national mainstream
environmental groups as the
Sierra Club, the Wilderness
Society, and the National
Wildlife Federation.

“We’re on the ecological
basketball team, but some people
don’t want to play basketball.
They want to play political let’s
make a deal,” Tim Hermach,
director of the Native Forest
Council in Eugene, Ore., said.

and has a diverse student body.
Treadwell said approximately
2,130 freshmen and 1,190
transfer students came to Albany
this fall.

“We’re pleased to be among
the top ten and pleased to see
that they recognize the value that
Albany offers,” Treadwell said.

Dr. Sung Bok Kim, dean of

! Undergraduate Education, agreed

with Money magazine’s
assessment. “Look at how
inexpensive our tuition is,” Kim
said, “and we have top notch
professors.”

Kim said it was “sort of
funny” that SUNY Geneseo
ranked higher than SUNYA.
“Our campus is so much more
exciting that Geneseo,” he said,
citing the University’s diverse
offerings and quality professors.

Money wrote that “unlike the
bigger SUNY institutions,
Geneseo devotes itself to
undergraduate teaching.” Kim
said that SUNYA, long
considered a research institution,
is changing.

“The ambiance of
Undergraduate Education has
been changing in the past three
years,” he said. “We pay more
attention to the needs of
undergraduate students than ever
before.” H- cited departmental
honors progiams, training and
mentoring programs, and special
interest and academic housing as
recent successful undergraduate
initiatives.

Kim added that at a recent
faculty meeting, University
President H. Patrick Swygert
said undergraduate education
was one of the University’s
highest priorities.

Money magazine ranked New
York City’s Cooper Union for
the Advancement of Science and
Art the best buy in America.
Cooper Union only charges
students a $300 yearly activity
fee. It was followed by: the
California Institute of
Technology in Pasedena;
Houston’s Rice University; The
New College of the University of
South Florida; Geneseo;
Binghamton; Trenton State
College; SUNYA; The
University of Virginia; and the
University of Florida. _

Smaels, Even The Odd, which
Faulhaber described as “an

Meatloaf was last to‘appear,
and the crowd greeted him with a
standing ovation. “He is gréat,”
and “He is the reason I showed

Meatloaf quickly made the
audience a part of the show. At
one point, he pointed to a girl

“That girl with the blue eyes in

Dane netmen finish 8th in Tournament

By Rob Permutt

This past weekend, SUNY Albany
hosted the 14th annual Great Dane Tennis
Classic. Albany placed eighth in the
tournament. The Great Dane Classic is
one of the top Division III tennis
tournaments in the Northeast. The
tournament, however, is not restricted to
Division III teams.

The Dane Classic is a team tournament.
Each team played two opponents on both
Saturday and Sunday. Each match
consisted of five singles matches and one
doubles match. In order to win a match
for his team, a player must win two out of
three sets from his opponent. When a
player wins a match, his team is awarded
a point.

This year sixteen teams participated in
the tournament. Concordia College, a
Division II school from Bronxville, New
York, won the tournament. Rounding out
the top five were the University of
Vermont, SUNY Binghamton, the United
States Coast Guard Academy, and the
University of Rochester.

Albany played its first match Saturday
morning against Oneonta State. It turned

out to be the Danes best match of the
tournament, as they easily defeated
Oneonta 6-0.

Albany was not as lucky for their
Saturday afternoon match. The Danes lost
to Concordia College, the eventual winner
of the tournament, 4-2.

On Sunday, Albany played two
consolation matches to determine their
ranking in the final standings. Their first
match of the day was agianst the
defending tournament champions, the
University of Rochester. Despite tying
Rochester 3-3 in points, Albany lost the
match because Rochester won more sets.

In the afternoon match, the Danes
suffered an even more heartbreaking loss
to Williams College. Despite tying
Williams in points 3-3 and in sets,
Williams won the match because they
won more games.

Despite an eighth place finish, Great
Danes Coach Bob Lewis was pleased with
his team’s performance in the tournament.

“Tt was a very strong field,” Lewis said.
“There were eight or nine good teams in
the tournament. We did very well. Our
first loss came against the eventual

champions of the tournament. We played
even against our last two opponents but
lost due to tournament tie-breaking rules.
I was very pleased with our performance
against the University of Rochester, who
are ranked seventh in Division III.”

Individually, the Danes had many fine
performances, particularly from their co-
captain Mike Worth. Worth won three out
of his four matches. His only loss came
against Richard Perina of Concordia.
Perina did not lose a set in the
tournament. Worth’s biggest victory came
against John Mauro from the University
of Rochester. Worth beat Mauro 6-4, 2-6,
6-3. Mauro is ranked thirty-fourth in the
nation for Division III athletics, and by
defeating him, Worth may gain a national
ranking.

Brian Worobey and Adam Addelston
also won three matches for the Danes.
Andy McGoey, who played doubles with
three different partners, also won three
matches for the Danes.

The next match for Albany is the ECAC
Tournament, this weekend.

Women's X-country
opens season

By Maria DiGiuseppe
STAFF WRITER

The Albany women's track placed
seventh on September 11th at Albany.
Co-captain Colleen Shine turned in the
best individual achievement by a Dane,
placing third in the 5K (kilometer) race
with a time of 20:27.9.

“Colleen had an _ exceptional
performance which was encouraging to
see so early in the season,” said Albany
coach Ron White.

Karen Huvala finished in Albany’s top
five with a time of 21:40.3, and Bertrand
ran a 22:40.8. Also running in the top five
was Dawn Danski, who had great success
as a sprinter. She completed the 5K course
with a time of 22:50.1.

Returning runners included Fiorelo
Finetti (23:57.8), Nancy Jost (24:05.2),
Amy Quinn (25:18.8) and Amy Biddle
(26:19.5). Newcomers included Bryna
Bertrand (22:40.8), Huvala (21:40.3),
Nancy Jost (24:05.2), Isabelle
Marrero(25:29.4), Boun Gecxk (27:09.7).

Ithaca won the meet a low score of 43
points.

One freshman to watch is William Vanos, who came up
from 11th place overall to fifth in the last one and a half
miles. “This enabled us to win,” Williams said.

Another runner to watch for is freshman Keith Raleigh.
He finished in Albany’s top five with a time of 28:06.5.
According to Raleigh, the transition from running shorter
distances in high school is a tough transition to make. “I
went out too hard,” Raleigh said, “but once I got used to
longer distances, I can cut a minute off my time.” This is
a foresight he can put to the test at Saturday’s invitational
at Williams College.

Also giving powerful performances were senior Joe

Danes crush A

By Jerry Kahn
Editorial Assistant

Although weakened by injuries, Albany
persevered, defeating Alfred 24-8 in
Saturday night’s football game, putting
each team at 1-1.

The Great Danes’ defense, which was
missing three starters, held Alfred’s
offense to only six points, while Albany’s
special teams unit provided much of the
offense in the victory.

Captain and defensive end Sonny
Mctiernan is out indefinitetly with a knee
injury. Defensive halfback Tim Dieter
missed the game because of a hurt
shoulder. Defensive tackle Rick
Seidenstein sat out because of an injured
knee.

“When you lose a starter, you hope that
the back-up does a good enough job not
to hurt the team,” Albany linebacker
coach Mike Simpson said.

Albany defensive end and special teams
captain Joe Center filled in for McTiernan
and did remarkably well.

“We played real well as a team,”
Center said. “This time we played four
quarters.”

Center had 14 tackles during the game,
five of them were unassisted. He made all
six tackles in which Alfred suffered
losses. He also recovered a fumble, broke
up a pass attempt, and had a sack.

“Joe Center had a hell of a game,”
Albany assistant defensive line coach
Norm Deep said. “(The) defensive line
played their asses’ off. We’re very
capable up front.”

After a scoreless first quarter, Albany
took a 3-0 lead on a 41 yard field goal by
Michael Malvin.

The drive started on Albany’s 49
yardline. Dana Johnson ran up the middle
for two yards. Gordon, on second and
eight threw a pass to tight end Joseph
Valerio for a 14 yard gain and a first

down. A personal foul by Alfred moved
the ball another 15 yards up the field.
That was followed by three plays which
barely moved the ball. On fourth and 13,
Malvin kicked the field goal.

“We dominated the kicking game,”
Albany head coach Bob Ford said.

The Saxons seemed to be ready for a
comeback when quarterback Lance Loccy
threw to wide receiver Vince
DiGiancomo for a 58 yard gain to the
Albany 22. However, they were called for
holding on the next play. That made it
first and 20 on the 32.

Alfred wound up having to punt the
ball on fourth and 18. James Daly punted
to the Albany four with no return. After
an in complete pass, and Edward Lemon’s
one yard run, Gordon was sacked in the
endzone for a safety. That made the score
3-2 in favor of the Danes.

“When the ball is in Lemon’s hands, it
is exciting,” Ford said. “Lemon will be
good, but he must improve his running,
However, Lemon is still a freshman.”

In the final drive of the half, the Great
Danes started on their own 13 yardline.
Gordon pitched to Lemon for an 18 yard
gain and a first down. In the next play,
Gordon threw to split end Bryant Denson
at the 30 yardline. Two plays later
Gordon pitched out to Lemon again for a
gain of 16 yards and another first down at
the Albany 47.

On first down and ten, fullback James
Fraguela ran up the middle for a five yard
gain. Gordon, then, threw incomplete. He
followed that with a four yard loss on a
quarteback sneak. Albany punted, but the
Alfred punt returner dropped the ball, and
Albany recovered on the Alfred 18.

Gordon kept the ball on the first play
and scored untouched. Malvin kicked the
extra point successfully.

After halftime, Great Dane Benjamin
Alston returned Alfred’s kickoff 80 yards

to the one yardline. Johnson ran it in
immediately. The extra point raised
Albany’s lead to 17-2.

Alston’s two kickoff returns were 54
and 80 yards respectively.

“Special teams did a hell of a job,”
Ford said.

On the next drive, Alfred took the ball
to Albany’s 24, but they missed a 41
yard field goal attempt,i as it fell short.

When Albany got the ball, they ran it
to the Saxon 45. The key plays were
consecutive run of 19 and 21 yards both
by Lemon. During the the drive, running
back Burchell Reader made an excellent
catch off of a defelected pass.
Unfourtunatley for the Danes, the play
was called back because of an illéagal
shift. Eventually, Albany had to punt.

Lemon played excellently. He netted
96 yards on 13 carries for a 7.4 average.

During the next series, the Saxons
fumbled the ball on their own 25. Center
recovered the football. However, the
Danes lost yardage and were forced to go
for the field goal. Malvin’s 47 yard
attempt, during which the wind was at his
back, was wide to the right.

“We wanted the field goal because
Alfred only needed two scores to take the
lead, but a field goal would force a third,”
Ford said.

After receiving the football on Albany’s
46 yardline, Alferd managed to score its
only touchdown. Using a series of short
tuns and short passes, the Saxons moved
the ball to the Albany 13. A 13 yard pass
with 4:47 remaining allowed the Saxons
to score their only offensive points of the
contest.

Their attempt at a two point conversion
failed, as the pass was bobbled and
dropped at the one yardline.

“The guys are playing well, having fun,
doing things real well,” Simpson said.

fred to even record at 1-1

“We’re minimizing big plays. We just
want to improve each week.”

Alfred’s on side kick was smothered by
Joseph Soares on the 45. It had barely
traveled the minimum of ten yards.

“The special teams were the big things
in the victory,” Center said.

On the first play from scrimmage,
Gordon ran nine yards to the 36 yardline.
On second and one, Fraguela ran for 36
yards off of the left tackle and scored.
The extra point made the score 24-8.

Fraguela had a good game. He logged
63 yards on 8 carries, for an average of
7.8 yards per carry.

On the ensuing kickoff, a lack of
communication allowed the ball to drop
between several Saxons. Malvin
recovered his own kickoff at the 25
yardline. Malvin made an excellent play
in recovering his own kickoff.

“We held the Saxons to only one
touchdown thanks to big plays and good
special teams,” Deep said.

The Danes wound up driving to the 18
yardline , but Malvin missed on a 35 yard
field goal attempt into the wind.

Alfred’s last drive was stopped on an
interception by safety Daniel Garrett.

Garrett finished with 11 tackles, a
fumble recovery, an interception, and a
broken up pass. He led the team with
seven unassisted tackles.

Another defensive star was middle
linebacker Thomas Courtney. He
recovered a fumble, and led the team with
16 tackles.

“The defense played with a lot of heart
and a lot of intensity,” Simpson said.

“Tt was an ugly win,” Ford said.
“Gordon was erratic, uptight, and
excited.” However, he said that Gordon
will improve.

The next game will be on Friday, at
Springfield, a Division II team, at 7:00.

Tracksters win opener

Albany is looking like a winner again winning their first two games.

On Saturday, the Albany men’s soccer team defeated
LeMoyne College 2-0, in their first road game of the
season. The goals were scored by Lee Tschantret and
Marty Hearney, both assisted by Adam Charkel. Curt
Mundorff tended goal for the Danes (2-0).

“Our goals came from well-practiced set plays,”
Albany coach Aldo Nardiello said.

The game was tense and could have gone either way
until the final minutes. Albany led most of the game
but they didn’t add another until Hearney scored with
five minutes left .

“We had tons of o, portunities,” Nardiello said, “and
could have given the knockout punch in the first 15
minutes.” But the Danes didn’t capitalize on their
chances.

LeMoyne applied strong pressure in the second half,
forcing Mundorff to come up with some big saves.

The win increased the team’s winning streak to 16
games, a school record. The most recent USA Today
poll of Division III schools places Albany as the number
20 ranked team in the country. They are still ranked
fourth among New York’s Division III teams.

The Danes will be looking for their third win of the
season, and a bit of revenge, when they host North
Adams today at 4:00. North Adams was one of only two
teams to defeat Albany last season.

The Albany men’s cross-country team started the
season off with an impressive victory in a three school
meet. On September 11th at a home meet, the runners
defeated Hamilton 30-27 and Hartwick 40-19.

“Their performance was strong despite the fact that
