Administration takes action combating racism
14-month study calls for University-wide action from all departments
By lan Wagreich
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
In recent weeks, SUNYA’s student
leaders, and members, have been voicing
their concers over the growing problems of
racism on the campus. Leaders and
members of Albany State University Black
Alliance, Fuerza Latina, Pan Carribbean |
Association and members of the Student
Association Minority Affairs and Affir-
mative Action department, have been call-
ing to the University Administration for a
reply.
Coincidently, 14 months ago, by the re-
quest of University President Vincent
O’Leary, The Committee on Racial Con-
cerns Across the Campus was formulated.
This committee launched an extensive in-
vestigation into racial problems. With Ex-
ecutive Vice-President for Academic Af-
fairs Colbert Nepaulsingh leading the
13-member committee, they sought to con-
duct interviews and to consult literature in
their quest to define racism, as well as to
recommend to O’Leary what this universi-
ty has done in the past and what it should
do in the future.
_ The Committee furthered its recommen-
dation to President O’Leary, who in turn
forwarded them to the appropriate depart-
ments headed by the Vice Presidents of the
University. Each department formulated a
response, which. follows each respective
recommendation. bee
According to the Report, ‘‘The Presi-
dent of our university has said clearly and
decisively that ‘The disparagement of per-
sons on the basis of their skin color or
ethnic heritagé should be called what it is
— it is harassment and it is forbidden by
law and by the policies of this campus.’
While recommendations of this committee
cannot hope to eliminate racial harass-
ment, its more modest but persistent aim is
to help create a climate that would not
tolerate racism in any of its
manifestations.”’
By the year 2000, one in three New York
State residents will be of color, according
to Mitchell Livingston, Vice-President of
student affairs. cee
Four of 10 babies will be minority group
members in the near future, according to
the report.
‘‘The recommendations of the commit-
tee are not fueled by moral imperatives,
but also demographic and economic
realities. ‘The future prosperity of the na-
As Penelope entered the ASP
office Sunday night with snow
tion may depend on the ability of public
schools to address the needs of minority
students, according to new reports released
by the National Education Association.’ ”’
according to the report.
The recommendations and responses by
The Committee on Racial Concerns
Across the Campus were published in a re-
cent memo.
O’Leary’s reaction
The following will appear in this Wednesday’s Albany Special Report:
The great danger we face individually and collectively is indifference, a moral:stagna-
tion that accepts what is, simply because it is. Graffiti. We grew up seeing it. We took it
in as part of a landscape. But it is more than words, it is a form of violence against racial
and ethnic groups such as Blacks, Hispanics and Jews, as well as other groups. It is moral
violence that cannot be tolerated in a society dedicated to the principles of equality.
These despicable scribblers have no place on this campus. The cowards of anonymous
hatred are violating the law, campus and state. They can be charged with harassment. If
proven guilty they can be expelled. Anyone providing information leading to the convic-
tion of such persons will receive a reward of $500. If you have information on such
purveyors of hatred please contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
But we will not allow our campus community to be defined by a handful of people who
deface walls or engage in other acts of bigotry. The campus is committed to a society
where the individual is respected and welcomed. A Presidential Committee on Racial.
Concerns, made up of students, faculty and staff, worked last year on the directions for
a campus of open equality. This fall they completed their recommendations which have
now been reviewed by each of the vice presidential divisions. The highlights of this report
and the administration’s response are published here.
Democracy,we have been told, is not a spectator sport. There is a task for all of us - for
Student Government, for faculty and students on the departmental level, for staff ad
students in every office. It will work only if all of us work. I ask each person to join me in
making the recommendations of the Racial Concerns Committee a reality. We need
everyone to become involved, to make a difference, to help define our campus, our
society.
— President Vincent O’Leary
The following are excerpts from the Com-
mittees report: ,
In consultation with the Vice
Presidents, the President establishes the
diversity committee. They will be formed
by the responsible Vice President and will
begin meeting at the start of the Spring
1989 semester. The committee will be.
charged with fostering an environment
that will sustain diversity and ensuring that
issues of diversity are addressed within the
division.
‘The President has made funds
available to the Affirmative Action Office
on an ad-hoc basis for one full-time pro-
‘fessional through the office of Institu-
tional Research, for the purpose of pro-
viding the statistical data needed for the
University to continually monitor and im-
prove the racial climate on campus.
In addition, a secretary has been
_reclassified and new funding was provided
for secretarial assistance in the office of
Affirmative Action.
The President will meet periodically
with black and Hispanic faculty. In addi-
tion, because the input of these groups of
faculty is critical to important aspects of
campus decision-making, the President
reaffirms his commitment to include black
and Hispanic faculty on major con-
sultative bodies on campus.
> The president will continue suppor-
ting..ombudspeople(one.. who. acts..as. a
receipient of complaints) to assist the Af-
firmative Action Office and to continue
the Affirmative Aciton Grants process.
Vice Presidents Hartigan and Liv-
ingston are charged with investigating
other appropriate avenues for
disseminating University Policy regarding
racial harassment and assuring such
publication.
> The Commission may wish to delegate .
responsibility to a subcommittee on Racial
Concerns which would be charged with
monitoring campus progress.
> The Division of Academic Affairs ful-
ly supports efforts to improve retention of
minority students and is committed to con-
tinuing its efforts. Among the actions the
division has taken in the past year is the
allocation of additional resources to sup-
port expanded tutorial programs and study
groups for these and all students, and in-
creased faculty/student interaction in the
residence halls and dining facilities. The

After two rounds of budget
cuts, SUNYA is expecting a fur-
ther budget cut to be imposed in
the near future.
According to Assistant Vice
President for Financial Manage-
ment Eugene Gilchrist, a total
budget of $161 million was set
for the 1988-1989 fiscal year. This
included a $400,000 position sav-
ings reduction and a $300,000
utilities reduction.
The position reduction ac-
counted for the holding of 20
vacancies (at an average $20,000
salary) in employment at the
university. The Vice Presidents of
the departments were told that
they cannot fill their positions im-
mediately, Gilchrist said.
The utilities reduction was
handled by a conservation effort
SUNYA held to reduce the intake
of heat and light. Having the air
conditioning shut off during the
summer is one example of the ef-
fort, he said.
In late August, a $600,000 cut
was imposed on SUNYA’s
budget. The cut, which would
mean a freeze on hiring for 30 va-
cant positions, was only
translated into a freeze for 20
positions.
The difference. was created,
Gilchrist said, by $200,000 the
University had left from the
money budgeted when the Com-
puting Center switched from
Sperry to IBM systems.
The University is currently
awaiting the results of the most
~~.
recent budget cuts, announced in
November. A hiring freeze, self-
imposed by SUNY, is already in
effect. Also in effect are freezes in
equipment and purchasing, as
well as a contracting freeze.
Gilchrist explained that, unlike
most state agencies, Governor
Cuomo does not mandate specific
cuts for the SUNY system.
Because SUNY follows flexibility
legislation, it can operate within
its own budget lines when
deciding cuts, and decided on
these freezes.
The cuts could have various ef-
fects on this campus, according to
Gilchrist. ‘‘A hiring freeze is im-
minent,’’ he said, adding that the
University would be slow to fill
vacant positions, and that the ef-
fects of the freeze are not quite
being felt yet. Gilchrist said the
coming cuts would affect next
semester.
Gilchrist specified that all staff,
being unionized, is guaranteed
permanency by their contracts.
He said all contracts have condi-
tions under which they can be
layed off, however, under situa-
tions of ‘‘financial exigency.”
According to Gilchrist, ‘‘the cam-
pus has not exercised financial ex-
igency since 1976,’’ when then-
Governor Hugh Carey terminated
several programs.
Explaining that all programs
outside of faculty, including
library services, student services,
‘and plant personel, have been cut
at the rate of 15 percent, Gilchrist
said the University would arrive

The Wodle
Visas not issued
‘Mexico City
(AP) President Daniel Ortega of
Nicaragua said yesterday he would not go
to the United Nations this week because
the United States failed to issue enough
visas for his party and imposed unaccep-
table restrictions on his stay.
*‘I cannot accept these rules because the
United States cannot decide when, how
and with whom a chief of state can visit an
international organization like the United
Nations,’’ Ortega told a news conference.
He complained that the United States
should not require 15 days notice to ap-
prove the trip of a chief of state and his
party to the United Nations.
Ortega said the Reagan administration
refused to issue visas for half his party and
also refused to issue visas for Nicaraguan
journalists who wished to accompany him.
He also said the United Stated limited
his travels to four boroughs of New York
City. Ortega said this would prevent him
from visiting the home of the Nicaraguan
ambassador to the United Nations, who
lives outside that area.
Unrest continues
Moscow
(AP) Security forces broke up a meeting
in the Azerbaijani capital, but in neighbor-
ing Armenia authorities eased a curfew
yesterday, media reports said.
Much of the two republics in the
southern Caucasus Mountains have been
under curfew to stem violence generated
by an ethnic dispute. Armenians, who are
mostly Christian, seek control of
Nagorno-Karabakh, a district in Moslem
Azerbaijan.
Radio Moscow said yesterday of the;
Azerbaijani capital that ‘‘the situation in|
Baku still remains tense. At a number of '
enterprises people have failed to come out
to work. No transport is operating in the
center of the city.”’
The report, monitored by the British
Broadcasting Corp. in London, said
security forces dispersed a crowd of
around 1,500 people in Baku’s Lenin
Square Sunday night. The forces moved in
after the crowd failed to respond to ap-
peals by the chairman of the city council
and a commandant to disperse.

He told a meeting of Denver residents
that just two days here reminded him of
several years ago when Los Angeles’ gang
woes were in their nascent stages.
Bernard C. Parks, Los Angeles’ deputy
police chief, said his department has the
names of 26,000 gang members on file,
more than double the number in the
1970’s.
Denver police point to the arrival of the
California-based gangs, the Crips and the
Bloods, as the main cause of the growing
gang problem here.
Old and new meet
Washington
(AP) George Bush has taken a
somewhat cautious approach toward the
Soviet Union that lacks the visceral
distaste that Ronald Reagan had for the
‘evil empire’? at the outset of his
presidency.
Together, the incoming and outgoing
U.S. presidents will sit down for lunch
‘with the Soviet leader in New York on
Wednesday and solicit a commitment from
him to maintain a four-part agenda for
superpower dialogue that gives high prior
ty to human rights and arms control.
Still, Bush said recently that he would
not try to put his own spin on the session.
‘In terms of specificity, in terms of my
committing a brand new administration to
specifics in arms control or anything else,
I’m not going to do that,’’ he said.
‘““Remember, the Cold War is not over,’’
Bush told a San Francisco audience last
July.
The State
Regan to run
Albany
(AP) State Comptroller Edward Regan,
currently under federal investigation, has
said he will seek re-election in 1990, it was
reported yesterday.
‘‘Absolutely, I’m going to run again and
I’m going to win,’’ Republican Regan told
the New York Post.
Regan spokesman Marvin Nailor, asked
about the post report, insisted that ‘‘it’s
not a formal declaration, obviously. It’s
an expression of intent.’’
Regan, first elected comptroller in 1978,
is currently under federal investigation
concerning campaign contributions to him
from large investment interests. The in-
vestigation centers on allegations, reported
in the New York Daily News, that there
may have been a connection between the
contributions and lucrative state in-
vestments made through th companies
involved.
Capital ransacked
Albany
(AP) Police were investigating a break-
in at the state Capitol building and trying
to assess the damage to state budget files.
Capital Police discovered'a broken win-
dow on the first floor of the Capitol late
Saturday night and concluded that in-
truders had gained access to two offices of
the state Budget Division, said Tom
Cooper, a spokesman for the Office of
General Services. :
The intruders ransacked the offices and
dumped files, but it wasn’t known Sunday
whether anything was stolen, said Cooper.
In the November 22nd issue of the Albany
Student Press, Niels Behrmann was incor-
rectly quoted, and did not mention a
change of ISA presidents as the reason for
the lack of publicity. :

Friends remember Manis
By Greg Shaub :
Larry Manis was a student at SUNYA, disabled and suffering from a disease which
finally took his life November 26.
Manis, who suffered from muscular dystrophy, entered the hospital on November
15th, as a consequence of his disease. Four days later, he slipped into a coma and died.
Manis is survived by his parents and his two sisters, Sharon and Jill. Sharon is current-
ly a student at SUNYA.
Muscular dystophy is a chronic disease characterized by a gradual but irreversible
muscular deterioration that results in total incapacitation.
Manis’disease began to affect him between the ages of six and seven. By the age of 12
he was confined to a wheelchair. His condition slowly worsened.
Manis’ suitemate and friend Ruben Suton said the deterioration was visible. ‘“When I
first met Larry he would grab me by the arm with considerable strength. By his senior
year he couldn’t grab me at all.”’
Manis’ sister Sharon described him as self sufficient. ‘‘He tried to do things and didn’t
let his disease stop him,”’ Sharon said. ‘‘He always saw the good in people and would get
close to anyone.”’
Sutton agreed, describing Larry as compassionate and hardworking. Another friend
and former suitemate, Mitchell Posner described Larry as ‘‘the nicest person you could
ever meet.”’
Manis worked hard during his years at SUNYA. He had to work harder than the
average student in order to overcome the difficulties of his disease as well as the normal
college load. He managed not only to succeed, but to do so with excellence. Manis made
the Dean’s List his last semester. He was also an active member of an organization called
University Action for the Disabled. :
This club provided many activities for the disabled such as wheelchair racing.
Manis possessed a positive outlook on life despite his condition. He was a person devoid
of selfishness and self-pity, according to his friends. ‘‘Of being handicapped Larry’s at-
titude was not ‘why me.’ It was rather,‘I’m glad it’s not someone else, ’ ’’ Posner said.
‘‘He only regretted that you had to help him. He was constantly apologizing to you,
saying ‘I’m sorry you have to do this,’’’ Sutton said.
Although Manis experienced considerable physical pain friends said he never com-
plained. ‘‘He didn’t understand why other handicapped people were always complain-
ing,’’ Sutton said. | :
Manis was always ready to listen to someone and help them in any way he could, ac-
cording to Sutton. ee
Manis had many interests. He was an avid Mets fan. He loved all sports and could be
frequently found watching them on T.V. Manis also loved music. Among his large music
collection were groups such as Huey Lewis and the News and New Edition. —
“Larry also had a habit of falling in love with beautiful girls,’’ Sutton said. Sutton also
said he saw a parallel between Larry’s inner beauty and the outer beauty of the girls he
fell in love with. ‘‘I always told him it was the inner beauty of a person that was impor-
tant,’’ Sutton said.
Although Manis maintained a positive attitude, he knew death was imminent. ‘“We
talked about death occassionally,’’ Sutton said. ‘‘At the most he expected to live ’til 30,”’
Sutton continued, adding that he still made plans.
_ Sutton said he never treated Manis any differently. He considered him no different than
anyone else, but sometimes better. ‘‘I never made excuses for his disability. He didn’t
want any,” Sutton said. ‘‘I’m black and he’s Jewish, but we were the best of friends. It
didn’t matter what anybody’s background was. He didn’t care,’’ Sutton said.
Terry Spencer, the graduate assistant at University Disabled Students, remembers
Manis well. ‘“He was one of the nicest people I met here,’’ Spencer said.
Samantha Hodes, a disabled student, shared a classroom with Manis. She expressed a
great sense of loss regarding Manis’ death. ‘‘I never met a more vivacious person in my
life,’? Hodes said. ~ . :
“It?s an unfair world where people like myself don’t work as hard but have more than
people like Larry who work harder and end up with nothing,’’ Posner said.
Posner said he believes he learned more from Manis than any class he ever took.
Sutton said he was also very influenced by Larry’s friendship. ‘‘I would be different if
I never met him,’’ Sutton said.
_ Sutton added that he looks at the world differently and now believes materialism is
unimportant because Manis has taught him to value his fellows more. ‘I hope he af-
fected others as he affected me and that I can affect others as he affected me,”’ Sutton
said.

Worker instalis new lights on campus.
Campus lights installed after
many show concerns
By Steven Flaumenhaft
The SUNYA Physical Plant is attemp-
ting to put an end to any exterior lighting
problems here on campus in hopes of
making a safer campus.
In the past, lighting was a serious pro-
blem on campus. But complaints from
the Task Force on Women’s Safety here
at SUNYA, as well as from individual
students, prompted plant personnel to
take action in order to rectify the
situation. .
Five years ago the plant began install-
ing new lights along the roadways and on
the downtown campus at Alumni quad.
According to Dennis Stevens, the assis-
tant vice president and director of the
Physical Plant department, a total of 16
of these new lights have been installed by
the plant.
‘‘Two and a half years ago we began
testing for better quality lights.
Engineers were called upon to make
assessments of the various
lights,’’Stevens said.
‘“‘We have upgraded the lighting by
converting from the old style mercury
vapor lamps, to high pressure sodium.
lights, which can be characterized by a
yellow tint,’’ Stevens explained.
Four years ago Stevens said he re-
quested that a project be taken on which
would improve the lighting on campus.
‘‘This year, the rehabilitation and repair
budget appropriated funds so that the
project could be put into operation,”
Stevens said.
“‘In the years between the time when I
_ made the request and now, we’ve install-
ed anumberof these lights on our own,
mainly on the roadways and between
Perimeter Road and Freedom Quad. But
in order to further mitigate the situation
the balance of the old lights needed to be
_ shine more light down on the person, as
LUKASZEWSKI UPS
did not have the time nor the manpower
to handle this large scale project
ourselves,’’ Stevens said. _
According to Stevens, this job went to
Kot Electric, the contractors who offered
the lowest bid to do the project. ‘“‘The
total cost of the project is $182,000 and a
total of 586 light fixtures are being
replaced,’’ Stevens said.
The new lights, which can be seen
around campus are square shaped and
opposed to the older, round shaped lights
which allowed most of its effective
lighting to escape.
In the parking lots each new light fix-
ture yields 350 percent more light than
the old ones. On the walkways there is a
100 percent increase in light and street
and roadway lights provide a 25 percent
improvement, according to Stevens.
According to Public Safety director
Jim Williams, the new lights use up less
energy.
- “These new lights have improved driv-
ing conditions and overall visibility here
on campus,’’ Williams explained.
One of the major concerns on campus
is student safety. “The Women’s Safety
Task Force is very pleased with the im-
provements we’ve made. We haven’t
received any complaints in the recent
past,’’ Stevens said.
‘New lights do not deter criminals,”’
Williams said. Better lighting gives the il-
lusion of safety but in reality it provides
criminals with a more conducive setting
to commit their crimes because they are
now able to see the patrol cars,”
- Williams continued.
‘“‘Actual arrests are what stops
criminals, not better lighting,’’ Williams
explained.
Students should take precautions, .

Univ. Senate discusses racism, budget cuts
By T. E. Kane
STAFF WRITER
University Senate last Monday voted on
several council reports, and heard Univer-
sity President Vincent O’Leary speak on
both the committee of Racial Concerns
Accross the Campus’ final paper, and the
current situation of SUNYA’s budget for
the 1988-1989 fiscal year. In addition, the
Senate also heard a formal apology from
ZBT about it’s controversial poster.
The Committee of Racial Concerns Ac-
cross Campus was formed last year, and
O’Leary received the report in September.
O’Leary addressed the Senate at this
time on the report because recently the
SUNYA campus has seen a proliferation
of racist graffiti on campus buildings.
The committee’s report will be the ap-
paratus through which the administration
handles the writing of racial slurs on cam-
pus buildings, and racism in the university
community as a whole, O’Leary asserted.
““We have prepared a response and set
up a mechanism to deal with this issue,”’’
O’Leary said in reference to the report.
**This will allow us to respond with the
sufficient force to alleviate this problem.’’
The budget was also a part of O’Leary’s
Presidential report to Senate members. He
said he expects there will be cuts, but he
did not know what the specific amount will
be.
“T anticipate this week I will have a
dollar amount figure,’’ O’Leary said. ‘‘I
trust we could meet the number without
any problems.”
Faculty member Ronald Bosco asked
that the chairman of the Senate investigate
‘the nature, and specify as precisely as
possible, the responsibilities of commit-
tees, and who they are answerable to.”’
The impetus for the resolution was, the
realization by Bosco that a committee such
as the Council on Libraries computing, ©
and information system, did not have a
clear cut line to any ruling body within the
Senate.
*‘Such as a committee like this I’m not
sure where it reports to,’’ Bosco said. ‘“We
must define better what authorities this
committee has and who it answers to.”’
At the meeting, Zeta Beta Tau President
Brenden Davey apologized on behalf of his
fellow members to the University and all
students for their promotional poster that
created a controversy.
‘*T realize how we were out of bounds
‘with our poster promotion,’’ Davey said.
‘*Through working with Gloria Desole, we
have learned more about women on this
campus.’’ Davey said he and his fellow
brothers will uphold a commitment to be
responsible to the community. _
O LENG ft
ASPies........The
- Senate
The Council on Education Policy, which
is advising the administration on the pro-
posed ‘‘four-by-four’’ credits system, has
created an eight man task force to provide
the initiative in considering the proposal. .
_The membership of the task force has
not been completed but the members will
-be announced as soon as possible, accor-
ding to the council report.
The Center for Molecular Genetics was
established by the Senate council on
Research. The poprietors of the center will
include seven members from the Depart-
ment of Biological Sciences and ten
members from the school of public health
at SUNYA.
The center’s initial funding will be in ex-
cess of 3.75 million dollars. The aim of the
center will be to unite most of the expertise
in molecular genetics technology in the
Capital District from the staffs of SUNYA
Department of Biological Science and the
School of Public Health, and the
Wadsworth Center at the New York State
Department of Health.
The University Community Council
discussed the parking problem at its
meeting on Nov. 1, as reported at the
session. It proposed stiffer
penalties for repeat offenders of traffic
violations, and a five year plan for im-
2 & pS
provement of the parking on campus.
Several recommendations were made for
the abjudication process and range of
penalties concerning student violations of
academic integrity. The recommendations
were made by the Council of Academic
Freedom and Ethics. (CAFE).
Included in the recommendations was
the need for violation prevention. The
report suggested that the Dean of
Undergraduate Students should serve as
advisor to faculty members on cases of
academic dishonesty.
There should be a yearly summary of all
the cases, facts and outcomes from the
previous year, and a clear and concise
statement of policies involved in over-
riding academic penalties imposed by
faculty, the report by CAFE also
suggested. :
The Council on Libraries, computing
and information systems recommended to
the Executive Committee the establish-
ment of the computing advisory commit-
tee, which will review and provide advise
on major equipment and operational
issues; and the Libraries Acquisitions
Committee, which will review budget
allocations among department or pro-
grams of the University.

Dinner promotes student/faculty relationships
By April S. Anastasi
EDITOR IN CHIEF
More than fifty couples filled the
Patroon Room and the Patroon Lounge
Monday night as students and their guests
attended the Student Faculty Dinner.
Sponsored by the Student Community
and the Academic Affairs Committees of
Central Council, the dinner was the first in
wha organizers hope to be a long line of
annual get-togethers.
The event was open to all University
students; the sole attendance criteria was
the extension and acceptance of an invita-
tion to either a member of the faculty or
the administration.
Response from students, despite the fact
that this was not a highly publicized event,
was good according to student faculty din-
ner co-chair Andrea Hoffer. ‘‘We did get
many students who weren’t affiliated with
SA [Student Association] to come,’’ Hof-
fer said.
This diversity was reflected by non-
student diners as well. Not only did ad-
ministrators such as University President
Vincent O’Leary and Vice Presidents War-
ren Illchman, Sung Bok Kim, and Mitchel
Livingston attend, but academic depart-
LUKASZEWSKI UPS
Administrators were among the guests at the Student Faculty Dinner.
ments ranging from German to Afro-
Asian Studies and Business to Psychology
were represented as well.
A very relaxed atmosphere prevailed,
aided first by a cocktail hour which dinner
guests were afforded the opportunity to
mingle near the cash bar and the hors
d’oevres, and then, by the soft lightiing
and intimacy of small tables for dinner.
Seating was not assigned, therefore, con-
versations which had begun over cheese
and crackers were able to be furthered over
sliced sirloin or chicken cordon bleu.
University Auxiliary Services was also a
sponsor of the event. the cooperation of
UAS commented Hoffer, allowed the
Council Committees to draw from their —
budgets for advertising purposes only.
The purpose of such gatherings, accor-
ding to co-chair Susie Shusterman, is to
“3 promote better student-faculty relations.
Events such as Monday night dinners and
Student Faculty reception allow these
‘groups to interact in a less formal at-
mosphere than that in which they do in
day-to-day communications.
_ “Everyone kept saying that it was a real-
ly nice idea,’’ Shusterman commented.
Students assist Pierce Hall in building new playground
By Katie LeBesco
Students, student families, and
associates of the Pierce Hall Day Care
Center gathered in front of Brubacher Hall
over the weekend to construct a new
playground despite an overwhelming lack
of undergraduate participation and a
schedule plagued with technical problems.
According to Director Rebecca King,
the need for a new playground was realized
serveral years ago by members of the day
care community at SUNY. ‘“‘The old
equipment had become dilapidated and
unsafe. We also realized that the 2-year-
olds and 10-year-olds don’t play together
very well on the same playground,”’ King
said. She added that when the child care
program was expanded to serve more stu-
dent families, the size of the old
playground was not adequate.
‘““We had tried unsuccessfully to get a
grant to rebuild for several years,’’ King
said. She said that finally this year SUNY
Central Benefit Money granted them
$13,000 for the construction and new
equipment for the playground. The money
was appropriated through. the State
Legislature, she added.
- The playground was originally going to
be put up during the week before
Thanksgiving, King said, but dificulties
with the equipment delivery resulted in a
postponement.
“‘We had sororities and fraternities lined
up to help us build, but when our equip-
ment wasn’t delivered, we had to cancel on
them,’’ King stated. She went on to say
that plans were not made as to who would
help build the playground when the sup-
plies did arrive.
_ The day care center expected volunteers
from the SUNY undergraduate communi-
ty to show up and to offer their services,
King said. However, the only student
volunteers were graduate students with
children enrolled in the Pierce Hall Center.
King said she did not blame students for
not showing up, but because of the lack of
helping hands, construction was only
started this weekend, not finished. She ad-
ded that since there is still more work to
do, any students still interested in
volunteering would be greatly appreciated.
Along with the grad students, day care
staff members and workers from the
DeGraff Moffly construction company
worked their choice of a four-hour shift
(either 9 to 1 or 12:30 to 4:30) on Saturday
or Sunday, King said.
Among the new equipment built were
sandboxes, slides, swings, crawl tubes,
balance beams, and wooden climbing

Indian Quad program aims to diversify campus
By John eae
STAFF WRITER
A program entitled Diversity
Awareness Week #§ being held on
Indian Quad in an effort to pro-
mote better relations between
ethnic groups on campus.
This program comes as a result
of the recent racist graffiti that
was discovered on some of the
quads.
According to Nelson Vargas, a
- Resident Assistant on Indian
Quad who helped coordinate
Diversity Awareness Week, ‘“‘It is
a week dedicated to programming
and activities dealing with racism,
sexism, and homophobia. We
have a full range of programs
done by the tower RA’s and the
Minority Assistance Program.”’
Vargas went on to explain that
the RA’s were instructed to speak
to different groups such as the
Albany State University Black
Alliance (ASUBA), the Gay and
Lesbian Alliance (GALA), and
Snickers?
NO!
Nickers
other Student Association groups
in order to obtain their
cooperation.
The program, which was also
organized by Indian Quad Coor-
dinator Laurie Garafola and
Residence Director Bryan
Moody, began on last Sunday and
is scheduled to
Wednesday.
The first two presentations on
Sunday went off without a hitch.
The first presentation,
“‘Kickoff,’’ was basically devoted
to explaining what Diversity
Awareness Week is all about.
Lesley Massiah, the SA Affir-
mative Action officer discussed
the need to remember to keep
Diversity Awareness a ‘‘focus of
every day of our lives through the
year.””
Next came a movie called
‘‘Pink Triangles’’ which was
about homophobia. ‘‘We had a
- very good turnout,’’ Vargas ex-
plained. ‘‘Numerous people came
run until .
up to me, they were very happy
about the program.”’ _
According to Moody, ‘‘there
were about 45 people there.
That’s 45 more people than if we
did nothing. Unfortunately the

10 Aspects on Tuesday
December 6, 1988
hat could possibly be humorous
Waiow the chaos in Beiruit, the
; squalor in the Phillippines or the in-
justice in South Africa? Quite a bit when
seen through the eyes of P.J. O'Rourke. In
his latest comedic offering, Holidays In
Hell, O’Rouke dissmisses the label,
“foreign correspondent” and_ instead
describes his role as “a trouble tourist-going
to see insurrection, stupidities, political
crises, civil disturbances and other human
folly because . . . because it’s fun.”
David Cunningham
And what fun PJ. finds! With a bot-
tomless expense account and the audacity
to use it, O'Rourke ‘travels places and
points out things that your straighter
foreign correspondent misses, or simply
just won’t cover. O’Rourke became a
foreign correspondent simply because, as
he puts it, “I was tired of making bad jokes.
All the while the world outside seemed a
much worse joke than anything I could
conjure.”
O'Rourke was an editor at National
Lampoon during the seventies and has
been a free-lance humorist since. He goes
on to write, “maybe I could use the techni-
ques of humor to report on real news
events. Or at least,” he adds, “use that
phrase to get editors to pay my way to
Lebanon, El Salvador and so on.”
More often than not O'Rourke lets life’s
absurdities speak for themselves — he
simply reports them. And that’s where his
real talent lies. His keen roving eye and
loose pen translates into a style rife with
jokes and rapier wit. O’Rourke doesn’t
preach, pass judgement or take sides — he
merely points out a country’s or culture’s
intrinsic idiosyncracies and exploits them
to the fullest. He doesn’t just cover a story
VL ¥. ates es OR Tk
either. O’Rourke gets down and rolls
around in it — up close and personal, if
you will. Where else can you get a first
person account of what it’s like to be
pepper-gassed with an angry mob of
rioting Korean students? How about atten-
ding morning prayers disquised as an Arab
in the Dome of the Rock Mosque? From a
casual drive about harrowing Lebanon to
an interview with ragtag Filipino NPA
rebels, O’Rourke does it all with style, elan
and a sharp eye out for the next drink or
disco.
Not all of his asssignments are quite so
hellish however — some are much worse.
O'Rourke is unleashed on Jim and Tammy
Baker's unsuspecting Heritage USA theme
park. This is one of the funniest pieces in
the book, and oddly enough _ Heritage
USA turns out to be more bizarre and
foreign than many of the other exotic third
world assignments. “I came to scoff — but
‘went away converted,” O’Rourke quips.
“Unfortunately, we were converted to
Satanism.” Neither does O'Rourke spare
the rancor when describing the theme
park's faithful: ‘They all had huge bot-
toms, immense bottoms. It looked like
everyone in the place had stuffed a chair
cushion down the back of his leisure slacks.
And what leisure slacks! Heal them, oh
Lord, for they are injured in the taste
buds.”
On top of this he is subjected to Har-
vard’s 350th anniversary (Intellectual
Wilderness, Ho’), EPCOT center
(‘Through Darkest America”), and spends
a sea sick day on a yacht discussing the
merits (or should we say demerits?) of the
America’s Cup. According to O'Rourke, if
he was ever blessed with a financial wind-
fall his first purchase would certainly not
be a boat. He writes that he would buy
something “warm and weatherproof that
as peated jae eS
jens 13) es cies is
held still, like a bar.”
For all its hip humor and adroit ability to
make light of some gross situations, the
book occassionaly touches on the serious,
sad and downright pitiful. Surprisingly this
intrusion on our fun only underscores the
laughter and makes it all the more honest
and necessary. Humor is universal and
O'Rourke, with his singular style of repor-
ting, is able to take a distant and detached,
“who, what, when, where and why article”
and make it say loads more than its boring .
mundane newsy cousin. He gives us the
facts, as well as bringing the point home
that these are really people too. Humor
touches all of us, and what's funny in
Poland or Panama, is to a large degree, fun-
ny here.
“In whitest Africa,” O’Rourke cynically
explains the system of apartheid, “the
world is built on discrimination of the most
horrible kind. The problem with South
Africans is they admit it. They don’t say,
like the French, ‘Algerians have a legal
right to live in the sixteenth arrondisse-
ment, but they can’t afford to.’ They don’t -
say, like the Israelis, ‘Arabs have a legal
right to live in West Jerusalem but they're
afraid to.’ They dont say, like the
Americans, ‘Indians have a legal right to
live in Ohio, but, oops, we killed them all.’
The South Africans just say, ‘Fuck you.’ I
believe it’s right there in their constitution:
‘Article IV: Fuck you. We're bigots.’ We |
hate them for this. And we're going to hold
indignant demonstrations... until the
South Africans learn to stand up and lie
like white men.” This type of iconclast
humor perrades the book and seems to be
’ O'Rourke's mainstay.
What's most funny about O'Rourke, the
person, is that he is a self-admitted conser-
ud aba At -A- EAS.

vative. This would seem to be a bit of an
obstacle for a cultural humorist but he
makes it work nonetheless. His humor
flows from the spring of a disillusioned hip-
pie, who has joined the establishment, but
still wants to have a little naughty fun.
This is most evident when he defends
the good ole U.S. of A against the admoni-
tions of what he calls a “Euroweenie.”
“We're the baddest-assed sons of bitches
that ever jogged in Reeboks,” O'Rourke
raves. “We're three-quarters grizzly bear
and two-thirds car wreck and descended
from a stock market crash on our mother’s
side. You take your Germany, France and
Spain, roll them all together and it
wouldn't give us room to park our cars.
We're the big boys, Jack, the original,

than your piss-ant metric numbers go. You
say our country’s never been invaded?
You're right, little buddy. Because I'd like
to see the needle-dicked foreigners who'd
have the guts to try. We drink napalm to
get our hearts started in the morning. A
rape and a mugging is our way of saying
‘cheerio.’ We walk taller, talk louder, spit
further, fuck ionger and buy more things
than you know the names of. We eat little
countries like this for breakfest and shit
them out before lunch.” Who needs an il-
literate Rambo when we have O'Rourke;
remember, the pen is mightier than the
sword.
Holidays In Hell is one third travel- ise
one third social commentary and one third
Gonzo journalism. But above all else it’s
three thirds funny. A kind of laugh out
loud, hee hee, chuckle, guffaw, god-damn
that’s clever funny that makes your ribs
hurt. O'Rourke makes news fun. O

Aspects on Tuesday 11
s. Gloria Steinem sparks Albany Crowd
eminism. The very sound of the
word evokes a strange rush of im-
pressions: anger, resentment,
frustration, triumph, achievement.
“Feminism” was introduced to our
language in 1895. In scarely a century, it
has changed the very nature of our culture.
Laurie Kellman
Webster's says that feminism is “the
theory of political, economic and social
equality of the sexes.” But in 1988, it
means much more. Feminism, as we know
it today, was defined largely by one figure.
Gloria Steinem, former founder and editor
of Ms. Magazine, inspired a generation of
women to get equal educations, work at
fulfilling careers, and insist on equal treat-
ment. These women had daughters, who,
today, are facing womanhood with
Steinem’s ideals guiding them. Members of
these two generations, their friends,
boyfriends, and husbands, packed the
auditorium at Page Hall Thursday night, as
the Writer's Institute brought -Gloria
Steinem to Albany.
_ And when she walked out on stage, the
response was not surprising. The audience,
which overflowed into the lobby, literally
gave her a roaring welcome.
Characteristically, Steinem applauded
back. Then she took care of the first order
of business.
“I’m worried about those of you who are
standing,” she said. “Wouldn’t you rather
come down here and sit by the stage?”
They did, and, amidst more applause,
Steinem expressed her dissatisfaction with
the seating arrangement. “You're all sitting
there, looking at each others backs, all
looking at me,” she commented. “This
evening, I'd like you to stand up and share
your views with each other.”
Steinem has long been opposed to
hierarchical organization. Ms. Magazine,
under her auspices, embodied this
philosophy by listing its staff on the
masthead alphabetically, instead of accor-
ding to rank.
“We know that hierarchy comes from
patriarchy, which doesn’t work anywhere
anymore,” she said.
The audience was then given a sampling
of exactly what it came to hear; namely,
advice, reassurance and answers. And
Steinem was interrupted by ecstatic ap-
plause after almost every phase. She first -
shared * ‘some of the things that have
helped me” with what she called “this
smart, writerly, activist audience.” For thir-
ty minutes, she mainly emphasized the im-
portance of the written word in achieving
social change. “Everything comes from
silence,” she began. “Silence allows the
characters in our minds to come alive. We
can empathize with them ...
can write about them.”
Acknowledging the difficulty in
translating this empathy into motivation,
she urged the individuals in attendance to
“find your own voice .. . there is nothing
more revolutionary than writing. It pro-
duces empathy, experience, and new vi-
sions of reality.”
“If we are here today, and there is no
trouble tomorrow, then we haven't done
our jobs,” she concluded.
This is the Gloria Steinem we all know
and remember; the one who posed as a
cocktail waitress on Hugh Hefner's payroll,
then lived to tell about it in ] was a Playboy
Bunny. But Steinem, now middle- aged, a
assumed a new role.
“Il was throwing my slippers at the t.v.
the other night as I watched this talk
show ...
Throwing slippers? This is quite a depar-
ture from Steinem’s legendary bra-burning
days.
As the feminist movement has matured,
so has Steinem. She is no longer the
publisher of the world’s most progressive
magazine, and she no longer burns bras.
Steinem is, instead, touring the lecture cir-
cuit these days, appearing on talk shows,
and writing a book about “what happened
to women who were born into wealthy
and then we_
families.” Steinem is the teacher now; the
torch that she lit has indeed been passed.
But the feminist fire still burns in Gloria
Steinem. During an hour-and-a-half ques-
tion and answer period, Steinem spoke
with the charm, intelligence and biting wit
for which she is famous.
Questions about the women’s move-
ment brought out the essence of Steinem’s
most-celebrated philosophy. She said first
that she believed the 1960’s have been
“romanticized.” “Our analysis of our pro-
blems was not deep enough,” she said.
“We stopped a war, but as soon as the draft
was over, the movement was over.”
“T see more grass-roots change on cam-
puses now,” she said. “Where dropping out
was radical then, dropping in is radical
ongwriters are often ia to —
many times loosely and un-
justifiably as — “poets.” Jim Mor-
rison, frontman for the Doors, was a
songwriter, and it might be said that he was
a “poet” as well.
Stef McDonald
“| always wanted to write, but I always
figured it'd be no good unless somehow
the hand just took the pen and started
moving without me really having to do
with it. Like automatic writing. But it just
never happened,” writes Morrison in what
he titled a “self-interview” that serves as
the prologue to The Lost Writings of Jim
Morrison: Wilderness Volume I.
Automatic writing never happened, so
Morrison wrote. The first work of the col-
now.”
When a student expressed concern over
the lack of subject matter involving
women in her classes, the student activist
in Steinem surfaced. “Students are con-
sumers too,” she said. “How much tuition
do you pay for your education? A little tui-
tion strike never hurt.”
In a seperate interview, President Vin-
Cohen UPS
cent O'Leary responded, “We have a
Women’s studies department . . . there are
many other ways to approach the
problem.”
With respect to the male responsibility
in the fight for sexual equality, Steinem
called for empathy. “What it would be like
for you in a female oriented society?” she
When the music’s
lection reads, “A series of notes, prose-
poems / stories, bits of play & dialog /
Aphorisms, epigrams, essays / Poems?
Sure.”
An anthology of poetry. Sure, why not?
Morrison’s writings were willed to his wife
Pamela. Following her death the collection
of writings was entrusted to her parents,
who have put it all together for
Wilderness. While it’s feasible to say that
had he not been a celebrated rock star
these poems would not have gained any
notice, there is an intriguing quality to the
‘works in this collection. Comprised of
diary entries, of scribbles, rantings, babbl-
ing strange visions, at best Wilderness is a
sort of post-mortal “autobiography” with
random form, as Morrison the poet offers
some honest insight into his life. Call
Wilderness a “behind the mask of the mas-
asked. “How would it feel to receive a
Spinster of Arts degree or a Mistress of
Science?”
But when politics came up, the audience
was treated to Steinem at her finest. “A
man was just elected who chose his runn-
ing mate because his looks would appeal to
women,” a member of the audience said.
“What can we expect from a Bush
administration?”
“A friend of mine said that she could tell
the difference between a man to vote for
and a man to go to bed with,” Steinem
replied. “Quayle loses on both counts.”
Steinem did give George Bush credit for
having “some small strain of common
sense” because he used to support the
Equal Rights Ammendment. “Our task
now,” she said, “is to keep him form being
as bad as he’s trying to be. That's a shame,
because it means we'll have to work twice
as hard to stay in the same place... But
welll do it, we'll be here long after he’s
gone.”
The abortion issue is, indeed, one of
Steinem’s pet peeves. “A prime example of
involuntary servitude is involuntary
pregnancy,” she said. “Given the invest-
ment a woman puts in for those nine mon-
ths ...she has the right to decide to use
her body that way or not.”
“The least a man could do is find a
woman who wants to bear his child, ” she
joked. ©
Steinem finished by acknowledging the
progress made in the women’s movement
so far, and urging women to continue the
fight. “People look at the newspaper and
see Reagan and Bush and think that that’s
the country. It isn’t. Look at this room,” she
said with a sweeping gesture.
“We have to find a way to deliver our
own votes,” Steinem said. “Now, we'll
have to do it block by block.”
Steinem, in passing along a tradition she
largely created, stopped short of giving
young feminists instructions for achieving

But one of the autobiographical entries,
it is a tad cliche. But it possesses a simplici-

makes some of these writings appealing.
Another autobiographical sketch reads,

sketchy like most of his work, a deeper
Morisson is revealed — one not as
glamorous as_ his image might have
suggested.
While many of his pieces are obscure, or
at least attempts to be visionary and in-
sightful, Morrison can’t have expected to
win any great honors for his poetry.
“Being drunk is a good disguise,” reads a
line from a poem that finishes, “I drink so
es I can talk to assholes. / This includes

drink? So that I can write poetry.” Finally
there comes a rather premature conceit in
yet another piece. “Regret for wasted

away.” - O
The Writing On
The Wall
“Graffiti is not a litmus test of racism on
campus or in society. It is a representation
of it. It is not the best measure of it.’’
— Dr. Mitchel Livingston
Vice President of Student Affairs
Throughout the past month, there has
been a great deal of overreacting taking
place. Overreacting, in terms of ill-
conceived anger and the escalation of that
anger to a point at which it has been made
to appear explosive.
This is not to say that there is not a
problem in terms of racial tensions on this
campus. Naturally, in a microcosm such as
this, ‘real life’ problems found out in the
‘real world’ trickle down and effect us just
as deeply.
One of the greatest problems within our
campus environment is one of the greatest
problems within our society as a whole.
Because of this, it is extremely important
that we not allow ourselves to become
wrapped up in what seems almost the
sideshow atmosphere of it all.
If the racial climate on this campus is as
heated as some believe, then it extends far
beyond the scribbling of a few to the true
writing on the wall.
While obviously representative of
problems on campus, the graffiti appearing ©
has been used as a focal point in order to
mobilize people. However, what
overdramatization has taken place has only
served to reinforce an altered sense of the
scope of the problem, Tather than its
substance.
The absolute necessity of a peaceful,
symbiotic relationship becomes more and
more clear when one realizes facts such as
that by the year 2000, one out of every
three people in New York State will be a
person of color. It follows, then, that the
more polarized an environment, the less
healthy a place in which to house its
citizens.
There is no more confounding problem
in American society today than race
relations. Those historically precluded and
denied opportunity are aware that
knowledge does not speak for itself. It is
interpreted by experience. Further, a
tremendous factor in that interpretation
encompasses those who are creating and
‘sharing’ knowledge.
In this light, the University must strive to
implement a scholarly, planful way in
which to enable us all to more easily cope
with and understand the true world around
us.
President O’Leary’s Committee on
Racial Concerns Across Campus has, after
more than a year of research and meetings,
come up with 31 recommendations through
which Albany State might provide its
students with just that. Encompassing as
many areas of the University as possible,
the Committee’s recommendations — and, |
more importantly, the vice presidential
responses to those recommendations — are
broad and hard-hitting. Implementation of
changes are scheduled to begin as soon as
the Spring °89 semester Ss
As students, we can, hopefully, rest”
assured that the University has seen our
plight and intends to address it in as proper
a way as they are able. As human beings,
we can only hope that positive things have
come out of all the recent negatives and
that rather than merely being painted over,
the writing on the wall is coming more
sharply into focus.

The Plurality of “Minority”
When those who speak of fairness possess a narrow
and skewed interpretation of the word, intentions must be
questioned and justice must be demanded. The Beyond
the Majority column in the November 16 issue of the ASP
was just another addition to what has become a perma-
nent voice for the black student body under George
Lewis.
Guillesno Martinez
It was my understanding when I sat on the Editorial
Board of the ASP that the function of the Beyond the
Majority column was to address issues which concern all
minorities, not only one particular group constantly. The
fact is that column after column has had a black
emphasis.
For example, when George Lewis suggests that “the
university must acknowledge the need for mandatory
Afro-American history classes for the student community
at large,’’ he is suggesting that the bias which exists on
this campus is only a black problem. Does he think that
because my skin is lighter than his that the hate hurts me
any less or that I conceive the reality of the problem i in a
lesser degree?
The fact is that as a Latino, I face the same problems
and discrimination in this society as any other minority. It
should be our common problems which unite us in a
mutual struggle based on the principles which are the
foundation of this country.
What I am trying to say is that when George Lewis, the
Minority Affairs Editor of the ASP, calls for justice, he
should be fair and do so for all minorities. That’s what
his job requires in the first place.
To suggest mandatory Afro-American classes is an idea
which lacks fairness. It will not happen. Since 1986, there
has been a bill in the New York State Assembly which
would require Afro-American history to be taught at the
primary level of education. The bill, after introduction,
never reached the floor of the House, because the Educa-
tion Committee will not report it out of committee. The a
reason is clear, and is one of which Mr. Lewis should be
aware.
The leadership of the New York State Assembly
believes that such a bill would create problems with other
groups because they, too, would want the same treat-
ment. The 1989 Legislative Session will see the rein-
troduction of the proposed legislation, this time amanded
to mandate the inclusion of the values of people of
diverse backgrounds. Race, sex, cultural heritage, na-
tional origin, and religion will all be included in the cur-
ricula of American History courses, according to this
legislation.
This is a much more rational suggestion. By teaching
such material to young minds, hopefully ignorance will be
overcome. I do believe that until such legislation is
enacted, the University should make a course in Minority
Study mandatory requirement. _
I think we can all agree that trying to change someone’s
attitude this far into life, college age, is not an easy task;
but if by implementing such a policy a little bit more
understanding would be fostered, this university,this
state, and this country would be that much more a better
place.
The Dec. 2nd issue of the ASP carried with it it’s week-
ly Column of Beyond the Majority and it is another piece
of evidence for my argument of how the space provided
for minority views has become a monopoly for black
views. It was the third time this semester that a piece on
South Africa has appeared. When combined with the fact
that there was no Beyond the Majority in the first 7 weeks
of school the concentration of articles focusing on black
concerns becomes 100 percent.
By teaching minority study to
_ young minds, hopefully
ignorance will be overcome.
While I find the pieces informative and while I realize
that the problems of South Africa can not be served
justice by a few short articles, I would like to remind
George Lewis that the space provided by the ASP for the
‘Beyond the Majority column is a scarce resource because
it comes out only once a week. To try to hoard it all up to
express one group’s point of view is wrong. It serves no
justice to the other issues, problems and concerns of other
groups on this campus.
My point is that the problems and concerns of the black
‘community are shared by Latinos and it is wrong not to
acknowledge that fact. We have much in common and
should use it for our benefit. We live in a nation where
there is political democracy. Let’s use it to achieve
economic democracy, and let’ s do it together. ther. The
separating and skewing of the Beyond the Majority Col-
umn from other groups on campus reflects a deeper
political irresponsibility on the part of the Minority Af-
fairs Editor.

Star Wars Nonsense
To the Editor:
I agree with Vincent Polito’s positon that, as an adult
and student, idealism is no longer charming, and when
handling issues of real importance, like national defense,
it can be very dangerous. His inconsistencies begin,
however, when he tries to defend the strategic defense in-
itiative on these grounds. This system is the most
ideologically motivated weapon ever dreamed up, and
backed by the most ideologically motivated chief ex-
ecutive this country has ever had.
Make no mistake, we are talking about a weapon here,
not a protective ‘‘shield’’. Star Wars, if ever completed,
will be about as defensive as a cornered pit bull. The only
difference is that the completion of this system will put
the Soviets in the position of being cornered, a position
they have stated time and time again that they will not
tolerate.
There is a vast difference between bargaining from a
position of strength (and to my knowledge, the U.S. has
never operated from a position of weakness, strategically)
and putting your opponent in a position where he cannot
win.
The very term ‘‘Star Wars Defense’ is a misnomer. All
four SDI options currently being researched involve the
use of laser beams to destroy incoming ICBMs. It does
not take intellectual contortions of any kind to realize
that anything that can shoot down a missle can shoot
down other things, too.
A gun is not a shield. Hence, Mr. Polito’s contention
that SDI is ‘‘purely defensive’ is completely false. The
Soviets don’t see it that way, and why should they?
Would we see it that way if the situation were reversed?
During the short-lived era of U.S. nuclear monopoly
after WWII, our leaders arrogantly pursued a policy of
‘<massive retaliation’’. The fact that we were mostly bluf-
fing was no comfort to contention that we will not use
Star Wars aggressively will be no comfort to them in the
future.
By ‘‘aggressive’’ I don’t just mean the use of destruc-

tion. The term also implies the means to ‘‘call the shots’’
politically through the threat of. force.
This is what scares me the most. Proponents of SDI, no
matter what they may say publicly, do not want to co-
exist, negotiate, try to ease tensions, look for a peaceful
solution or any of the above.
They want to ‘‘win’’, and they are not adverse to using
trillions of our dollars to attain that goal, despite the con-
tention of most of the scientific community that SDI can-
not work.
Anyone who believes that the Soviets will sit idly by
while we pursue this fantasy is engaging in the worst kind
of ‘‘dangerous idealism’’, in Mr. Polito’s words. While it
may be true that SDI research could lead to other, non-
military benefits, this is nothing more than an excuse
designed to confuse a vastly ill-informed public. There
are less expensive, more direct ways to achieve that goal.
‘Star Wars’’ equals de-stablization of what has been
carefully gained through past negotiations and the escala-
tion of a whole new type of arms race at the expense of
our national security and domestic priorities.

Winterfest ’89
To the Editor:
We would like to address the on-going concern of
apathy here at SUNY Albany and suggest an alternative.
Too often on this campus we see a great deal of people
complaining and expressing their dissatisfaction and, in
turn, using others as scapegoats; the energy these people
expend complaining would prove more beneficial if con-
tributed to amending the lack of enthasias) ever-present
at SUNY Albany.
If those individuals who have gripes with life on this
campus would channel their energies and contribute to
finding a solution, apathy would be dramatically decreas-
ed and consequently the level of school spirit and pride
would increase.
It does not matter what aspect of college life a person
chooses to get involved in; we believe there is something
for everybody. Therefore, we would like to invite
everyone to come participate in Albany’s Winterfest ’89.
Many other schools have very successful winter car-
nivals, and Albany should be among them. Winterfest is
well on its way to becoming successful, with sponsors and
events which we are very excited about: in particular, a
Snowball-Semi-formal. This event‘is being carefully plan-
‘ned, but it is up to the students to make it the success it
has the potential to be.
Look for our upcoming advertising and calendar of
events, and let’s all work together to fight apathy and
make Winterfest, or whatever you choose to participate
in, a tradition. Maybe what this campus needs is a little
more tradition.

Skins Not Racist
To the Editor: |
On November 22, channel 6 did an 11pm news piece on
the racial graffitti appearing at SUNYA and a meeting
- about this topic. Andy Keyes and several other people
were interviewed afterward by channel 6 under the guise
of wanting to show that not all skinheads are racist; un-
fortunately they did just the opposite.
The handling of this extremely important issue could
only be called irresponsible and inflamatory. Reports like
this promote racism and unrest. The media has con-
tinuously shown skinheads as racist when the fact is that
racist skins are a minority amongst skins.
- To further this statement, No skinheads at SUNYA are
; rape Almost all skinheads (and punks) in Albany are
ANTI-RACIST!
This letter may not be enough to convice people of our
intentions so please talk to us. We will be glad to tell you
whatever you want to know. We are as concerned about
the racial problems as everyone else and do not want these
misunderstandings to continue.
Help fight racism by voicing your opposition to the ir-
responsible and inflamatory media. As ‘‘Public Enemy”’
says; ‘‘Don’t believe the HYPE!”

Purple Ribbons
To the Editor:
On Monday, December 12, the Student ‘Attion Com-
mittee will be sponsoring a Unity Day. The basic premise
behind this day is simple - we are all basically the same;
human. The things that compose us; race, color, origin,
sexual preference, political ideology etc. define us as uni-
que individuals. The one common denominator is our
humanity. On this day we ask that everyone wear a purple
ribbon as a show of your support for the human race.
The ribbons will be available in a variety of ways, if
you are Greek they will be available through your sorority
or fraternity. If you are a resident of Alumni, Dutch or
State Quads, the ribbons will be available at the Quad
Board meeting. Ribbons will also be distributed all day in
the campus center. In conjunction, there will be tabling in
the Campus Center by a variety of groups as an informa-
tional source about the group and-or culture.
We hope that everyone will participate in this day.
With the rise of racial incidents on this campus it is
necessary for all of us to join together, even for one day,
to show our support for our neighbors, frienas and
strangers in our life.
*‘First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the com-
munists and I did not speak out - because I was not a
communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I
did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to
speak out for me.’’ - Pastor Niemoeller
Wear a ribbon and come out and learn.
Thank you for your support.

Student Action Committee
Affirmative
Action
To the Editor:
The Affirmative Action Office is pleased to announce
the addition of two new ombudspeople: Lauren Grey, a
Junior at the University at Albany and Milton Smith, a
graduate of SUNY College at Oneonta.
Ms. Grey and Mr. Smith are part-time aides who have
two major roles: 1) to assist students who feel they have
been harassed because of race, and 2) to encourage a
welcoming, respectful and supportive environment in our
increasingly diverse university community. To these ends
they will make themselves known on campus and work
with individuals and groups who share similar concerns.
Please do not hesitate to call them if you have questions
or would like their assistance. They may be reached .
through the Affirmative Action Office at 442-5415, or by
calling them directly:

Begin Racism’s End
To the Editor:
Racial prejudice has always carried with it a tone of
ignorance. And, has created an attitude that is common-
ly reflected, it seems, by the personalities of those that
actively participate in the abuse and harrassment of
others simply on the basis of color.
These people are frequently seen by the more
educated as simple-minded, ignorant, inconsiderate and
uneducated. I have found myself shocked to realize that
racial prejudice on this campus has become so pro-
blematic as to warrant the recent student protests, as
well as attention from local news media.
I have listened to the words presented in Wednesdays’
student protest against the prejudice, and have heard a
_ good deal of complaints, but it appears to me that there
isn’t anyone saying what needs to be said.
As students on what I consider to be one of the best
campuses in the state, we are in the midst of becoming
some of the most educated people in the world.
Therefore, none of us can say that we don’t know bet-
ter. And complaining merely points out the obvious. It
is indeed sad to see my colleagues become examples of the
turmoil churning in our society. They, ‘‘the educated,”’
voluntarily participate in something that is so contradic-
tory to the values associated with our country’s
educated and intellectual circles.
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow colleagues, it is time to
grow up. For the time will soon come when we will take
our knowledge, our education, and hopefully our
wisdom and go out into society as examples of what the
world should be. And, it is because of this that if we are
to change society. As educated people, we must first
change ourselves and live as examples of the changes we
wish to elicit.
I am upset and annoyed that something as insignifi-
cant as skin color can be such a problem to SUNY
Albany students. One would assume they know better.
However, it is not my intention to point the finger at alli
SUNY students -- blaming them for the behavior of a
few. But, I do not wish to see our university looked
upon by others and defined as a harbor of educated
bigots. ;
If racial prejudice is to be annihilated it must begin in
our educational system. It must begin here.

ing document, Programs and
Priorities 1988, the University has
established as a goal for the year
the development of a course to be
proposed for faculty approval on
cultural and racial diversity in
American life to complement ex-
isting courses to be offered to all
entering students.
> The Division of Student Af-
fairs is committed to efforts to
improve the student retention
rate. Additional resources have
been allocated to expand tutorial
programs, to develop peer men-
toring programs, to increase stu-
dent/faculty interaction in the
residence halls and dining facilites
and enhance the orientation ex-
perience for incoming freshmen.
In this latter regard, academic ses-
sions were added to Summer
Planning Conference, and the
Beloved project was initiated. A
joint Academic Affairs and Stu-
dent Affairs committee is current-
ly exploring the possibility of br-
inging new freshmen to campus
two days earlier next year as a fur-
ther step toward retention. One
primary topic will be confronting
and celebrating the diversity of
this campus. The division is also
actively engaged in collaboration
with Academic Affairs in an ef-
fort to expand and enhance
Orientation and to upgrade the
corricular dimensions of the
freshman year experience at
Albany.
> Training of this nature is cur-
rently planned and/or has been
implemented for all Student Af-
fairs units. Programs will be in-
itiated in the residence halls and
with various student groups on
campus in the area of human rela-
tions workshops.
> The Office of Campus Life is
developing plans for the Presi-
dent’s Undergraduate Leadership
Awards Program (PULA), which
will provide an opportunity for
the University to recognize the
contributions for all student
leaders. A major award category
is ‘minority student leadership’.
Recognition of minority students
will also occur through the
Minority Assistance Program, the
Minority Student Development
Office, and Greek Life.
PStudent Affairs and
Academic Affairs will jointly
undertake consideration of
creating a Center for Culture. The
concept of a multicultural center
has a great deal of promise but
also has potential pitfalls that
must be carefully regarded if they
are to be avoided. Such a center
can, for example, become a place
isolated from the rest of the cam-
pus, rather than a place where
diversity is the hallmark. To be
successful, therefore, such a pro-
ject just be discussed on campus
prior to implementation in order

to acquire a broad base of
understanding and support to en-
sure that it functions as a ‘‘home
base’”’ for cultural, spiritual, and
academic support; and that it
fosters the goal of liberating rela-
tionships among the races rather
then segregating them.
>The Director of Personnel is
looking at various options
whereby all 500 of our employees
will recive some racial sensitivity
training and development.
> As directed by the President,
the Personnel Office will develop
a draft statement intended to en-
sure that the performance of pro-
grams of supervisors and
managers takes into consideration
the goals and objectives of Affir-
mative Action. -
> The Division is committed to
doing everything possible to in-
crease purchasing from minority
businesses to meet the standard
targeted by executive order.
>The Personnel Office in
coordination with the Office of
Affirmative Action will explore
additional ways to improve
minority access to jobs on cam-
pus. Once the two staff offices
have a number of options of
issues identified, they will meet
with representatives of the
various vice presidents’ offices to
discuss specific actions that are
applicable throughout the work
force and the division’s particular ¥
labor market needs.
Intercollegiate Athletics:
Prominent participation by
- minority students on University
athletic teams is an important
message to the University com-
munity, to prospective students,
and to the larger community
about the University commit-
ment. To achieve the goal, special
efforts will be necessary in three
areas outside the Division of
University Affairs.
In addition to intercollegiate
sports, however, it should be
noted that intramural sports can
be planned and operated to
enhance the potential for racial
harmony. The Intramural pro-
gram is a student directed activity
with professional staff assistance.
In order to improve its effec-
tiveness it is necessary to have
minority-focused data and an ac-
tive outreach program.
>The Office of University
Relations intends to organize a
Public Relations Club this year
for students interested in this
career field. The purpose of the
club is to cultivate the interest of
students, advise them on courses,
_ and facilitate internships. Minori-
ty students will be targeted par-
ticularly for this activity.
The Commission, in addition,
has furthered three separate
recommendations to the Student
Association in hopes that it con-_
tinue its minority programs and
continue to ‘‘ensure meaningful
and adequate representation.’’
SA has taken action in
recruiting minorities and plans to
continue. SA will continue to in-
crease minority representation,
according to James Lamb SA
President. |

resulting in a false sense of
security.
However, the project has been
a successful one. The new light
fixtures provide the campus with
a more significant amount of.
light, which was the main objec-

improved visibility and driving

Colleges contract computer virus
PRESS SERVICE — Still another
computer ‘‘virus’’ spread last
week, this time disrupting Macin-
tosh computers at California
State University at Northridge.
Despite new precautions and
debates provoked by the
marauding virus — supposedly
created by a Cornell University
grad student — that clogged some
6,000 computers at campuses and
research centers across the coun-
try in mid-November, copycat
viruses also have appeared at the
University of Houston, Connec-
ticut College and Baylor and
North Carolina State universities.
Officials have cured the viruses
quickly in most cases. At Nor-
thridge, for instance, bookstore
employees now test students’
disks before letting students rent
computers. ;
To prevent future viruses,
moreover, some observers predict
students at other campuses may
have to endure disk searches and
scoldings to behave.
“‘We’re going to send out a
message loud and clear that this is
not to be tolerated, this is not a
matter to be taken lightly,’’ said

Immediate openings in the
following categories:
Eugene Mallove of the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. which had the Tech
Talk, the student paper, republish
the campus’s computer policies.
Just after one of its grad
students was identified as a virus
author, Cornell held what
amounted to be a ‘‘safe com-
puting’’ seminar to advise people
to back up their disks, to avoid
trading programs ‘‘promiscuous-
ly’? and to ‘‘wear protective soft-
ware’’ that can detect viruses.
Still others see their job as
teaching computer law to
““techies.”’
_ “They spend an enormous
amount of their lives in front of a
screen. Some are somewhat in-
troverted,’’ noted James Ball,
Stanford University’s computing
director. ‘‘Computer scientists, I
don’t believe, have the foggiest
notions about laws on such things
as copyright infringements.”’
“I would like to see students
more sensitized to this,’? added
Peter Yee of the University of
California-Berkeley experimental
computing center.
‘Before this incident, students
felt that security and privacy were
somebody else’s porblems,’’ Yee
said. ‘‘Now that one of our own
has done this, I expect more in-
depth discussion.”’ -
“*T think there’s a broad con-
sensus among students and facul-
ty at Harvard that tampering with
major computer systems is a very
bad thing to do, and it can cause
disruption within the whole social
structure,’ added John Shattuck,
vice president for government,
community and public affairs at
Harvard.
Convincing people not to write
viruses — actually self-replicating
programs taht can destroy data
automatically without the users’
knowledge — is the best cure,
Shattuck said, because vaccines
cannot be created fast enough.
*‘The technology is moving so
rapidly here that it’s somehow
gotten ahead of the discussion
and careful weighing of prin-
ciples, as reflected in the slow
evolution of law in this area,”’
Shattuck said.
No one even knows if the
creator of the nationwide virus
broke any laws. The FBI is in-
vestigating, and on Nov. 18 word
leaked that a federal grand jury in
Syracuse, N.Y., was interviewing
Cornell grad student Robert T.
Morris, reportedly the virus’s
creator.
News accounts say Morris in-
vented the virus, but did not
mean to let it out on several na-
tionwide networks, where it
quickly began making copies of
itself via electronic mail.
His frantic efforts to provide
anonymous clues to halting the
virus, which consumed memory
space but did not destroy any
data, failed to stop its spread to
an estimated 6,000 machines, in-
cluding systems at the
Massachusetts and California .in-
stitutes of technology, the univer-
sities of Maryland, Texas, II-
linois, and Washington, as well as
Boston, Stanford, Harvard, Col-
orado State, and Drexel univer-
sities, to name just a few.
“‘We were. protected because
we use a different kind of net-
word protocol and _ operating
system,’’ reported John Starner, .
director of the University of
Texas-El Paso’s computer center.

at the point where faculty would
be cut.
Gilchrist did express optimism,
however. ‘‘The November
number isn’t here, and it’s our
hope that this number will be
reasonable enough to deal with
without severe reductions to pro-
grams,’’ he said.
Student Association President
James Lamb expressed concern
over what programs would be cut.
‘‘The University should prioritize
undergraduate education to pre-
~ vent the chaos that occurred in
September-so that students
shouldn’t have to go through that
again,’’ Lamb said, in reference
to the problems created by
cancelled classes last semester.
Lamb offered an analogy with
regard to a solution to budget cut
problems. ‘‘SSUNY has a big
headache and SUNY’s looking
for a big aspirin-a tuition hike is
an aspirin for SUNY, but it’s an
aspirin not prescribed by the
Governor,”’ he said.

cares for children from ages 12
months to 12 years, so that having

the video.
“Tl kept telling myself that he

student in the video.
But ‘‘no way are the victims at
fault,’? remarked Waterman.
The Affirmative Action Office —
has pooled together a group of
advisors from the academic
departments to the student
association. These advisors are
here to help counsel complaints
and to help them explore their op-
tions. ‘‘The meeting is strictly
confidential and off the record,”’
Waterman assured. No interven-
tion will take place unless the
complaint gives his
consent.

complicated problem that will
take several days to solve. Also,
the equipment delivery truck
would not drive down to the con-
struction area, so the volunteers
had to carry everything, including
the cement, concrete, and wood
down from Partridge Street.
Graduate student Marcia
Wong, who has one child in the
Pierce Hall Day Care Center, said
she felt that the new playground
will be a big improvement. ‘“The

Lamb said.
A third cut this year resulting in
the additional cancellation of spr-
ing semester courses would result
in the ‘‘students giving the SUNY
chancellor a migrane,’’ Lamb
said.
“It is the position of the Stu-
dent Association that there
should be no tuition increase and
the State of New York should
continue to provide the citizens
with a low cost, high quality
education,’’ Lamb added.

Gilchrist said, because these rates
reflect only the operating costs of
the dorms.
Any cost increases or budget
reductions would be announced
when Governor Cuomo presents
his budget to the legislature in

The Albany women’s indoor track team
ran in the Syracuse relays on Sunday at
Syracuse University. |
Although no team scores were kept,
Albany had some impressive finishes.
‘‘This was a get going type of meet, they
encourage participation,’’ said Dane head
coach Ron White, oes fielded a full team
in four relay events.’
The Danes best showing was a Shed
place finish in the distance medley, behind
Cornell and the University of Buffalo.
The relay was comprised of senior Kathy
Bellantoni, 800M, 2:35.9, freshman Nicole
Hargraves, 400M, 1:07.4, Diana Peralta,
1200M, 4:30.4, and Marylou Webster,
1600M, 5:40.7. The relay’s combined time >
was 13:54.6
Webster’s time of 5:40.7 in the 1600M
was a personal best for her in that event.
‘‘Marylou’s (Webster) two events were
both the standout performances for us,’’
said White.
Webster’s second event was the fourth
leg of the 4X800 relay in which she ran a
time of 2:32.8.
Other members of the fourth place
4X800M relay were Bellantoni, 2:39;
Dawn Dansky, 2:40, and Alicia Pullin,

By Jerry L. Kahn
STAFF WRITER
The University.at-Albany.men’s swim-
ming team scored a significant victory
over Stony Brook on Friday, December
2. The final score was 137-104.
Coach David Turnage said, ‘‘The guys
swam so well that it was much easier to
win it than I thought it would be. Even
the new people on the team swam very
well.’’
This win came off of a key loss to New
Paltz and was a big boost to the team’s
morale. ;
Co-captain Mike Jackson said, ‘‘The
team came together really well. We all
felt we lost New Paltz because we weren’t
up for it and we weren’t going to let that
happen again.’’ —
Frank Sibo said, ‘“The reason we won
was because everyone swam to their
potential. We went into the meet as
underdogs and that gave us a little more
incentive to win.’
Greg Stowe said, ‘‘It went pretty well.
We came out all fired up, ready to do
battle.”’
Chris Schlief said, ‘‘It was spent:
Everyone swam really well.”’
SUNYA took a 13-4 lead at the beginn-
ing by winning the 400 mediey relay. The
winning foursome was made up of Frank
Sibo, Mike Jackson, Ed Burton, and
Peter McElerney. Richard Van Brunt in-
creased the Great Danes’ lead by takirg
the 1000 freestyle in 11:02. The lead
became 26-10.
Co-captain Ed Burton said, ‘‘Com-
pared to last meet, we definitely came
together better. We had some good
swims.’’ :

Men look to dominate again
By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER
If Sunday’s Syracuse Relays are ar in-
dicator of the upcoming men’s inacor
track season, the Great Danes may once
again be a dominant force on the Division
III level, and highly competitive with prac-
tically any Division I school.
In Albany’s opening meet at Syracuse ’s
- Manley Fieldhouse, two Albany relays
topped the collegiate field, many freshmen
excelled in their college debuts, and not
one member of the team had a subpar
performance.
In a sense it was an important meet for
the Danes who had hoped to return to their
winning ways of 1986-87 when the team set
13 school records, finished impressively in
many championship meets, and won the
U.S. Olympic Invitational 3200 meter
relay. Last year the Danes were not able to
match that record due to_ injuries,
dismissals, and various bad breaks.
However, at the Syracuse meet the highly
talented Danes performed in 1986 fashion
and even though no team scores were
tabulated there was a good reason to re-
main optimistic.
Albany coach Roberto Vives said of his
squad, ‘‘All week long we were trying to
emphasize that this would have to be a
team meet and performance. With those
goals in mind I’d have to say this was a
great meet for us to start the season.”’
Particularly impressive was the sprint
medley relay and distance medley relay.
They defeated Syracuse and Cornell, both
highly respected teams.
The sprint medley team of senior Dave
Reinhardt, sophomores Jose Maymi and
Mike Salmon, and junior Jim Clancy won
their race in 3:34.4.
Reinhardt instantly positioned the
Danes.-in. front with a 50.8 400 meter
leadoff leg. After taking the baton from
Reinhardt, Maymi was tripped from
behind by Syracuse but was able to regain
his balance and take the lead.
He held off several challenges but re-
mained in front with a 22.9 200 meter split.
Salmon was able to increase the Dane lead
to about seven meters with a 22.0 split that
is believed to be an Albany record.
Syracuse’s anchor, Ellis, caught Clancy
in the first 200 meters but Clancy hung
tight, passing through the quarter in 57
seconds. Clancy was not intimidated by
Ellis’ quick: pace as Ellis began to tire.
Clancy went by Ellis on the final lap and
was able to win by a hair after his 1:57.7
800 meter leg helped defeat Syracuse by a
tenth of a second.
The distance medley gave a near repeat
performance of the SMR. The team of
freshman Scott Hughes, senior Bruce
-Gaynor, and juniors Steve Collins and
Chris Kranick finished second only to an
unattached team in 10:37.3.
In an impresive leadoff leg, Hughes
positioned the Danes into second with per-
sonal best 800 meter time of 1:58.9.
Syracuse’s quarter miler Vaughn was able
to pass Gaynor, but he held close in third
with a 52.7 400 meter split. A Cornell run-
ner was able to pass Collins, but he im- |
mediately returned the favor. Collins was
actually able to close the gap on Syracuse
as his 3:15 1200 meter split kept the Danes
in third.
On the mile anchor leg, Kranick went
through a pace of 6:01 at the quarter, and
2:09 at the half but was able to stay relaxed
and comfortable. In the final meters,
Kranick too was able to pass and defeat
Syracuse by a tenth of a second by virtue
of his lean. He ran a personal best time of
A513.
In the two relays that followed
each other, Albany defeated Syracuse by a
combined total of .2 of a second. The next
time the two schools run against
each other, rumor has it that the
Orangemen may borrow Derrick Coleman
from the basketball team to throw a pick
on the Albany anchor leg.
Albany freshman Tom Mead had a very
successful debut in the pole vault. He lept
14’ 1 and 1/4’’, despite having inferior in-
door facilities to the Division I vautters.
_.Mead was able to capture second place.
Another freshman, James Shankle, per-
formed well for Albany. He was able to
place in two events; the long jump and 55
meter hurdles. Shankle’s 22’ 10’ long
jump was good for third place, while his
7.8 second hurdle effort placed him fifth.
In a highly competitive field, Albany
freshman Chuck Peters finished sixth in
the shot put with a throw of 41” 1 and 3/4’’
The Danes hope to continue their suc-
cess next weekend at the collegiate Track
Conference Relays at Seton Hall. C]

‘ the Dane lead in half 64-61, 30 seconds
remaining.
Ithaca fouled Annunziato with 19
seconds left and she too missed the
free throw. The Bombers tried to tie the
game but Aguilar missed two three point
tries.
Annunziato again was fouled with two
seconds left after the rebound, but despite
an Ithaca time out, she converted both free
throws to ice the Albany victory 66-61.
‘“‘We knew that we could beat them,”’’
Annunziato said, ‘I was thinking, please
get these.”’
For Albany, McLaughlin also scored 18
points but had ten rebounds to lead the
Danes. Parrish added 12 points.
Ithaca’s Julie Goodenough led her team |
with 16 points and ten rebounds.
“T feel very thankful,’? Warner said,
““T’m extremely proud of them.’’
If she was proud then, she was even
more after the Cortland game.
Albany led through much of the first
half, enjoying a 19-11 lead with 10:46 left.
The Red Dragons came back to take the
lead and were up 36-31 at the intermission.
The Danes were 3-11 from the free
throw line for the half which hurt.
“If you hit your free throws; you win,’’.
said Warner. ‘‘We had ample oppor-
' tunities for a cushion in the first half.’’
Richardson hit two free throws and a
field goal to get Albany within 41-39 with
17:04 left.
Sue Stempsey hit three consecutive
baskets (she had 20 points) to give the
Danes their first lead of the second half
47-43 with 14:00 remaining. :
Albany held their lead and pushed it up
to nine, 70-61 with 4:24 left, a result of two
Richardson free throws.
With 2:08 remaining and a 73-66 Albany
lead, Cortland called timeout.
They scored the next seven points and
shutout Albany over the last two minutes.
Albany had chances, but missed four
consecutive free throws. The Dragons had
the last shot, but the Danes held. At 73-73,
we were going overtime.
_ With 3:21 left, McLaughlin scored and
was fouled by Cortland’s Tami Maas. She
converted the free throw and Albany led
76-73 and held on for the 86-80 win.
The Danes converted seven of ten free
_ throws in the overtime.
McLaughlin alone was 4-5 in O. 7. 3iee
throws and she had 20 points and nine
rebounds.
“T should have made all of them,”’
McLaughlin said. ‘‘I’m glad I made the
onesI did.”
Another big factor was Parrish. Playing
with a sore leg, she still scored 11 points in
only 19 minutes playing time.
“If we can win without her being 100
percent,’’ Warner said, ‘‘it’s going to help
‘us in the long run. Even at 50 percent, she
did some nice stuff.”

row night at 7:00, University Gym, against

Any coach will tell you how tough it is to
win in O.T.
Dane head coach Mari Warner can teil
you all three, after her Albany women’s
basketball team overcame a 15 point
deficit to beat Ithaca 66-61 at Ben Light
Gym Saturday night.
Last night’s 86-80 O.T. win over Cor-
tland State at University Gym was
Fill in your own superlative, because any
one could fit.
Albany was led by Gina Richardson’s 29
points and 11 rebounds. 21 of those points
were in the second half. Quietly, the junior
is leading the Danes to victory.
*‘We just needed it,’’ Richardson said,
‘“‘we were in a rut. We had to pull it
through.”’
The wins raised Albany’s record to 4-1.
“‘They’re (Albany) gutsy,’ said Warner,
“‘they’ll never give up either.”’
Going back to Ithaca, it was anybody’s
game the opening 11 minutes of the first
half.
The Bombers then outscored Albany
11-2 over a four and a half minute period
to take a 31-16 lead, with 4:08 left in the
first half. The Danes tried to make up the
deficit but still trailed by 15, 37-22 with
under a minute remaining in the first half.
Albany then decided to jump out of the
large hole they were in and get back in the
game.
The Danes controlled the ball for the
half’s last shot. They made the best of it.
Albany forward Gina Richardson scored
with only three seconds left and was fouled
by Ithaca’s Babette Devaney. The junior
completed the three point play and the
Danes trailed by 12 at the half, 37-25. The
comeback had begun.
“If it had been 12 points without that
last shot, it might of well have been 20,”’
said Warner. ‘‘It was some kind of a
spark.’’
“Once you set the tempo at the end of
the first half, it carries into the second,”’
said Richardson. :
‘“We were getting smoked,’’ she said,
“‘we were woken up at the end of the first
half. We needed something like that to get
us going,’’ Richardson added.
The Danes, still were behind by 12.
Usually coaches will try to change their
team’s game plan when it’s not working.
Not all the time though.
It wasn’t X’s and O’s that were hurting
us,’ Warner said, ‘‘we weren’t playing
with intensity, common sense. I told them
to start playing up to their individual
potential. If you play just average in the
second half, we’ll be alright.”’
Albany had plans for the Bombers in the
second half. ;
‘*T wanted to reverse what they had done
to us,’’ Richardson said.
‘It’s only six baskets,’’ said Albany
guard Lisa Parrish, ‘‘it’s possible to come
back, we have to play our game.”’
‘“It’s an embarrassment for us,’’ Parrish
added, ‘‘I walked in the second half saying
we were going to win.’’
The Danes backed those words up. They
outscored Ithaca 11-4 to open the second
half. Richardson had anothex three point
play, with 17:35 left, to draw the Danes
within five, 41-36.
It took another six minutes for Albany
to finally take the lead. Freshman Laurie
Annunziato drove the lane and laid it in
for a 46-45 Dane lead with 11:25
remaining.
After that it was three lead changes and
Albany found themselves behind by three,

Parrish fouled out with 2:56 left, the
score still 56-55. Losing its offensive threat
was a blow to the Danes, but the play of
freshmen Sylvia Caldwell and Annunziato
lessened the impact.
‘‘They’re handling it to the best of their
ability,’? Warner said. ‘‘We can play
without her. More depth, confidence, and
experience takes pressure off her.’’

“‘No Albany team will ever play this way
again,’’ said senior forward Matt McClure
after the Danes lost to the Hartwick War-
riors Saturday by a score of 92-63.
The Danes, coming off the Capital
District Championship, felt confident go-
ing into the game. Says McClure, ‘“‘We
knew they were going to play zone defense
_ and prepared for it, then we did the
opposite.”’
The Warriors jumped out to a 9-0 lead
with 17 minutes to play in the first half.
They extended that lead to 14-3 before
Albany got on track.
Overscoring Hartwick 15-8 over the next
seven minutes, the Dane’s pulled to within
four at 22-18,
Then the bottom fell out for Albany.
Through the next six minutes the Dane’s
committed eight personal fouls and were
outscored 20-0. :
Albany did not score again until reserve
guard Dennis Walker hit a jump shot to
make the score 42-20.
The half ended with Hartwick leading
49-23.
Russ Teague, the team’s leading scorer
was held pointless and second leading
scorer McClure had two points, and those
were from the foul line.
The Great Danes will be piaying in Hamilton Thursday night.
The Danes shot 29 percent from the
floor compared to 67 percent for Hart-
wick. The Warriors also led in foul shots
made, 9-4.
Albany committed 11 fouls sending
Hartwick to the line almost twice as many
times as the Danes.
The Danes also turned the ball over nine
times compared to just four for Hartwick.
Albany continued their sloppy play in

the second half allowing Hartwick to open
up a 40 point lead.
“Usually our defense is our pride,
tonight we had no pride,’”’ said McClure.
The Danes could not get the ball down
low to Teague and opted to bring in the
reserves.
Mark Zuklie led a late Albany run with
eight second half points and six rebounds.
Dennis Cutts added seven points and
four rebounds.
The closest Albany got was the final
score of 92-63.
Freshman Ed Feller, appearing in his
first game, scored five points in the final
minute, including a three pointer.
‘“‘We shot poorly and Hartwick shot
very well,’’ said Albany coach Doc Sauers.
The Danes finished the game hitting 24
of 51 shots for a 47 percent shooting
percentage compared to Hartwick’s 53
percent.
Albany continued to turn the ball over
committing 11 turnover in the second half
making it 20 for the game.

- said Sauers.

were going to do, and we just couldn’t do

Teague finished with four points on 1 of

Michael Shane and Steve Jermyn had
solid games, both shooting five of ten
