Drugs have become a prime concern on campus.

Campus Center parties banned

By Kerri Lewis
NEWS EDITOR

Parties have been temporarily
banned from the Campus Center
Ballroom, in light of the string of
fights that have occurred at the
student sponsored parties held
there.

Dr. Mitchell Livingston, Vice
President of Student Affairs said
he commissioned a task force
comprised of staff from Public
Safety, Minority Student
Development and Campus Life
last week to look into the matter,

According to Livingston,
everything is held in temporary

check, so the administration can
rethink safety and security
measures for any group to use
the facilities.”

There must be a balance, he
said between police coverage,
readjustment of the hours the
parties will be held, and the
implementation of student
marshalls,

Livingston said the marshalls
will be extensively trained.

“Questions have been raised
regarding security and
maintenance of security,”
University President H. Patrick
Swygert said.

Drugs seized in Cooper Hall

By Theo Turque

Police raided a room on State
Quad at Cooper Hall on October
12, arresting four students for the
possession of illegal drugs.

The police had a search
warrant,

Josh Gallof, Jayson Lashin,
Paul Dambroso and Steven
Gdula were charged with
criminal possession of a
controlled substance, criminal
possession of marijuana, and
criminally using drug
paraphernalia.

Assistant Director of the
Department of Public Safety,
John Henighan said the drugs
confiscated appeared to be

Swygert said he wants to
“assure everyone will have
access to the facilities.”

He also said there is no
connection between the recent
violence on campus and events
downtown,

“Both the administration and
students can do something about
behavior on campus,” he said.
“We're much more limited
downtown.”

Swygert added, “It’s important
that everyone keeps in mind the
great majority of our students
just want to have a good time.”

NYPIRG files suit against Bd. of Elections

By Jessica Grabowski
STAFF WRITER

The New York State Public
Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG) filed a third party
lawsuit against the Board of
Elections to enforce agency-
based voter registration.

The suit, filed in New York
State Supreme Court, sought to
enforce Governor Mario
Cuomo’s March 3rd executive
order mandating the Board of
Elections set up voter
Tegistration programs, said Doug
Forand, NYPIRG’s project
coordinator.

According to Forand, the
Board of Elections has not acted
‘on that order, which is violation
of State law. NYPIRG, as a third
party, filed suit against the Board
of Elections, Forand said.

“We are by no means the only
plaintiff,” Travis Plunkett,
NYPIRG assistant legislative
director said. “We aren’t even
the lead plaintiff. The lead
plaintiff is the Community

Services Society.”

The case went to court last
week and the judge ruled against
the plaintiffs, Plunkett said.
“We're a little fuzzy on why
because she (the judge) hasn’t
given us anything in writing.”

Plunkett said the governor’s
executive order had three parts,

The first part is voter

L

Tegistration assistance. “If, for
example, you were at the
Department of Social Services or
Department of Motor Vehicles,
you would be asked if you
wanted to register to vote. If you
said yes, you would be given
assistance in doing so,” Plunkett
said.

marijuana, hallucinogenic
mushrooms, a small amount of
hashish, and a small amount of
cocaine. An official report from
the State Police Laboratory is
still needed to confirm this, he
said.

Albany City Court Judge
Duncan issued the search
warrant. He later set bail at
$75,000 dollars a piece.

All four students have been
released and are awaiting trial.

Henighan would not comment
on whether the police
department received a tip leading
to the raid.

Some possible ways of finding

By Leanne Warshauer

EWS EDITOR

University President H.
\Patrick Swygert said he didn’t
think the $100 mandatory health
fee recently imposed on students
would “make a difference” to
students receiving financial aid.

Swygert was responding to a
question asked by Anita Eliot,
vice president of the Student
Association of the State
lUniversity(SASU), at
Wednesday nights meeting of
Central Council.

Eliot suggested the health fee
might keep some students, such
las those fully aided by the
[Tuition Assistance
iProgram(TAP) or the
Educational Opportunity
iProgram(EOP), out of the
University. “Some students may
inot be able to go out of pocket,”
she said.

“If $100 stood between me
jand the State University. at
Albany, I’d find the money,”
Swygert said.

Swygert was unclear as to
whether or not mandatory fees
are covered by financial aid.
According to SASU President
Judy Krebs, they are not.

“This shows just how out of
touch campus administration has
become with the financial
situation of students,” Krebs
said. “How can they make
policy decisions without
knowing how financial aid
works?”,

out, he said, are through “
students who don’t like this
going on,” or even “stumbling
on it.”

Henighan said dealers and
users should, “best be on (their)
toes,” because “people are
concerned.”

He said if a room or suite is
taided by police, everyone is
arrested, even those who claim
they had nothing to do with it.

There is no legal amount of an
illegal drug, he said. If drug
residue is found on a pipe or
even one drug seed is found, the
person will be arrested and
charged accordingly.

“The fact that our Chancellor]
(Bruce Johnstone) has gotten|
away with saying that TAP

a general problem with
understanding,” Krebs said.

“Why do we continue to beat}
that horse into the ground?”
Swygert asked. “Is it covered by}

While neither Swygert or Vice}
President for Student Affairs}
Mitchel Livingston could
determine that, Swygert did tell}
Council that financially
underprivileged students should
be able to come up with $100.

“They have other resources}

“To a certain extent wel

Mandela speaks

New Delhi, India
(AP) Nelson Mandela welcomed the
abolition of a basic law of South African
apartheid but said the main issue toward
ending segregation is allowing the black
majority to vote.

The South African black leader spoke at
a news conference on the first stop of a
three-week Asian tour. He was greeted
Monday in India with the pomp usually
reserved for heads of state.

Monday’s end to a 37-year-old law that
segregated South African public facilities
was “a step forward,” Mandela said. But
until equal voting rights are achieved,
“any other change will remain peripheral.”
Mandela said.

Mandela told a rally of 20,000 people
Monday that the black-against-black
violence in his homeland emanates from
the “war psychosis” of living under

apartheid,
Mayor defies Cabinet

Jerusalem
(AP) Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek said
Tuesday he was willing to meet with a
UN. investigation team despite the Israeli
Cabinet decision rejecting an outside
inquiry into the Temple Mount killings.

Kollek told Israel radio it would be sign
of weakness not to see the team.

Kollek’s statement was a break in what
has been a wall of official Israeli
opposition to the U.N. Security Council’s
decision Friday to send a U.N. team to
investigate the shooting deaths of 19
Palestinians by police on Oct. 8.

“I think that I am secure in our
intentions and with the situation in
Jerusalem, that whomever comes her I can
teceive them and answer them,” said
Kollek, who has been mayor since 1965.

“Not to do this doesn’t portray strength.
It portrays weakness,” he said.

Quake jolts California

Costa Mesa, CA
(AP) A moderate earthquake jolted
Orange County in Southern California
yesterday, but there were no reports of
serious damage or injury.

rPREVIEW OF EVENTS

The 10:21 a.m. quake, a year and a day
after the major quake in Northern
California, measured 4.0 on the Richter
scale and was centered one mile north of
Costa Mesa, said Dorothy Jennings of the
California Institute of Technology.

“Tt was a pretty good jolt,” said Susan
Maples, spokeswoman for South Coast
Plaza, one of the nation’s largest shopping
malls, which is located close to the
epicenter. “We all got up in the doorway.”

Police reported no damage or injuries in
Costa Mesa, about 50 miles southeast of
downtown Los Angeles.

Vote kills amendment

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Senate yesterday voted 55-45 to
defeat an effort to raise taxes on the rich
and moderate a Medicare premium
increase as it struggled to complete work
on a deficit-reduction plan.

The vote killed an amendment by
Senators Albert Gore, D-Tenn.. and
Barbara Mikulski, D.-Md.. that would
have scaled back increases in gasoline
taxes and Medicare premiums and
substituted a House-approved, three-
pronged attack on those with higher
incomes.

The amendment was one of more than
two dozen ready for Senate consideration
considerations, many of which have been
designed to move the Senate bill closer to

Police chief arrested

Rochester
(AP) Rochester’s police chief was
arrested by federal officials yesterday and
charged with embezzling at least $59,000
from police department funds.

Chief Gordon F, Urlacher and five other
employees of the department were
suspended with pay in connection with an
ongoing investigation,

At an arraignment in the U.S. District
Court, Urlacher pleaded innocent to
“embezzling and misapplying public
funds,” a violation that carries a penalty of
up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000
fine. He was released on $50,000 secured
bail by Judge Michael Telesca.

The investigation began October 1
when the FBI was contacted by an
employee in Urlacher’s office who
claimed to have helped the police chief
embezzle money from the department’s
special investigation funds, according to
the criminal complaint filed against
Urlacher.

Since July 1,1989, the employee, who

was not identified, helped Urlacher
embezzle $59,000 the complaint said.

Dump truck kills two

Sullivan
(AP) A woman died in an unsuccessful
attempt to snatch her young son from the
path of a dump truck, authorities said.

Heather Iglesias, 22, of Sullivan, died
instantly after the accident in front of her
house Wednesday afternoon, said
Madison County Sheriff’s deputies. Her
2-year-old son, Julio, died later at
Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse.

Iglesias was carrying a 9-month-old
infant when she tried to rescue her older
son. The infant, Justin, was also struck
by the truck. He suffered head injuries
and was listed in serious condition
yesterday at Upstate Medical ,
authorities said.

Deputies said the impact threw the two
children in different directions. The
mother became tangled in the left rear
tire and was dragged into a ditch.

"Food for the Future” is not beyond reach

By Tom Murnane
STAFF WRITER

“BE IT KNOWN” that October 16,
1990 is designated “World Food Day...”
With this proclamation from University
President H. Patrick Swygert, the days
events were underway.

The highpoint of Tuesday’s events was
the “1990 World Food Day
Teleconference.” Broadcast live-via-
satellite from George Washington
University in Washington D.C., the
internationally-recognized panel of
experts examined the topic: “Food for the
Future: Science, Policy, and Ethics.”

SUNYA’s participation in the event was
organized by Patricia McAuliff, who is on
the Executive Council of the Committee
For a Just Community, as well as assistant
of the Computing Services Center,

Following the teleconference, McAuliff
introduced a local panel of guests to
discuss their roles in the fight against
hunger.

Dr, Mitchel Livingston, vice-president
of Student Affairs, and Rev. Mark Blice-
Baum of University Chapel House, made
brief opening comments.

The panel also included Mark Dunlea,
executive director Hunger Action
Network; John Dimura, northeast
coordinator for RESULTS, a citizens
lobbying group; Dawn Primeau,
coordinator for Food Pantries for the
Capital District; Rev. Mickey Drown,
Pastor for Trinity United Methodist
Church and Rev. Lee Dyer, Christians
United in Mission , director of the Dollar
Days Campaign for the Homeless.

The guest speaker was Joe Barnett, staff
director for the NYS Assembly Task
Force on Food,Farm, andNutrition Policy.

Pamphlets distributed at World Food Day Teleconference.

Dunlea criticized the fact that some
people who seek help from the
Department of Social Services (DSS) are
often put off or sent away. This, he said,
“is in direct violation of DSS’s legal
responsibility to render assistance the
same day.” Dunlea proposed New York
State supervise and enforce compliance
among the 58 jurisdictions that are
responsible for food stamp distribution.

The DSS could not be reached for
comment on Dunlea’s charges.

Primeau cited the increased strain on the
36 food pantries and soup kitchens under
her supervision. She brought attention to
the newly introduced staggering of food
stamp distribution. Before staggering was
introduced, people came to the
pantries/kitchens at the end of each month
after their allotments of Food Stamps had

Tun out, she said. With staggering, some
are not getting their stamps for up to two
weeks into the month, Now, Primeau said,
the pantries have to deal with the added
burden of people coming in at the
beginning of each month.

She also noted the stereotype
associated with the hungry is no longer
accurate. Many visitors are “working
poor", meaning they have jobs that pay
less than $5 per hour.

Primeau said the pantries have seen a
120 percent increase in visitors, while the
program’s revenue dropped from $29,000
in 1989 down to $12,000 this year.

“RESULTS” is a citizens’ lobbying
group with the “goal of creating the
political will to end hunger,” according to
Dimura. He added he hopes to form a

Chess Club sports grandmaster hopeful

By Mary Kelley

In New York City the first half of the
Championship Chess Tournament is
currently taking place.

Two former world champions, Gary
Kasparov and Anataly Karpov, are
competing for the world championship
title.

Members of the SUNYA Chess Club
will be traveling to NYC to watch parts
of the tournament.

The Chess Club has only been
receiving funding fortwo years, said Jeff
Hom, president of the Chess Club.

The money the club receives is spent on
its own tournaments, and on the entry fee
for other tournaments for Chess Club
members. The club pays one half of the
entry fee required for each member,
Hom said.

The biggest tournament the club will
participate in this year is the Pan-Ams
tournament at Harvard University, a
national tournament .

Horn said the Chess Club has
approximately 18 active members. The
Chess Club is open to people of all skill
levels and members are willing to teach
other members,” he said. “It is never to
late to start.”

A main goal of the Chess Club, Hom
said, is to recruit new members to play in
tournaments.

Jeremy Larsen, sophomore at SUNYA
and Chess Club member said he feels the
future of the Chess Club rides on
membership drive.

Larsen is ranked 31 in the country for
the under 21 age group.

Larsen started playing tournament
chess at the age of 12. He said it was

something he caught on to quickly and
has stayed with it since.

Larsen won first place in the expert
section at the NYS championship held on
Labor Day Weekend. The tournament
took place in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. and
Larsen won a cash prize of $600.

Another of Larsens’s accomplishments
was a tie for “top expert” at the 1989 U.S.
open in Chicago.

Horn said one of Larsen’s positions
from a game at the tournament was
printed in Chess Life magazine.
According to Horn this is a rare
accomplishment for someone who is not a
grandmaster of the game.

Larsen said he has a long way to go
before he becomes a grandmaster.

“There is always something to shoot
for,” he said.

SUNYA establishes first campus chapter of SADD

Brad Kolodny UPS

Through the efforts of several students,
SUNYA has established a chapter of
Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD)
on campus.

SADD was founded in 1981 by Robert
Anastas, to fight the tragedy resulting
from alcohol abuse.

The purpose of SADD, as stated in the
chapter’s constitution, is “to promote
responsible behavior by college students
by not mixing driving with drugs or
alcohol as well as eliminating alcohol
related deaths, injuries and arrests in the
college community.”

Five hundred posters were recently
distributed throughout the campus to
increase awareness of the new
organization.

On Tuesday, a table was set up inside
the Campus Center to recruit members.

Pressure for perfect body leads women to sickness

By Doris F. Tomer

How many women do you know,
perhaps yourself included , who have a
never satisfied and negative attitude
towards their own body? Women who
look very much within the normal range,
and by most standards would be
considered attractive, are
walking around with body Middle

image problems. Women of Ea rt h

the most ordinary sizes, not
just anorexics or those who R oots

are obese, are entirely
obsessed with their bodies and what they
are eating and not eating.

An extremely high percentage of women
consider themselves to have a “weight
problem” and are either on a diet,
chronically dieting, about to start a diet,

relieved to have just finished a diet or are
upset about not sticking to a diet. Whether
concerned about 5 Ibs., 15 Ibs., 55 Ibs.,
or1051 Ibs., women spend a tremendous
amount of negative energy obsessing over,
loathing and trying to change their bodies.

The present cultural ideal of beauty and
femininity has equated thinness with
representing happiness, competency and
success. Most women don’t have bodies
designed for the modern lean look, but
our society glorifies this look as the
aesthetic and medical ideal.
Unfortunately, in the process of trying to
attain this ideal, many women destroy
their physical fimess and energy. Saddest
of all, the continuous efforts to change the
body often represents the rejection of ones
real female body.

Our physical attributes, such as bone
structure, metabolism and tendency to put
on weight, are largely preprogrammed by
our inherited predisposition. Perhaps as
women and as a society we need not
continue to be bound by such limited
definitions of beauty, but need to
appreciate the fact that people come in a
variety of sizes and shapes. Each
individual can be beautiful in a variety of
different ways. This obsession with
dieting, compulsive exercising and
sometimes even having surgery, keeps
women attending to their looks, instead of
the circumstances of their lives.

It is not by mere coincidence that the
increasing incidence of both anorexia
nervosa and bulimia occurs at a time
when society strongly stresses the
importance of a slim body for women.
Many college age women are the first
generation of children that have been
brought up by mothers in Weight
Watchers. There is a strong stigma
attached to being overweight in our
society, and as individuals we face
tremendous social pressures to obtain or
maintain a trim body.

A 1980 study of N.Y.S. college students
reported that 70% of women considered
themselves overweight even though less
than 30% actually were. Several studies
have estimated that as many as 25 -30%
of all college women engage in cycles of
binging and purging, and that one out of
250 adolescent females are anorexic.
About 90% of all bulimics and 95% of
anorexics are females. The number of
women having liposuction, the removal of
fat by suction, has increased 81% in just
four years from 48,633 operations in 1984
to 87,870 in 1988.

it is important to note that the diet and
exercise industry, is estimated to be a $32
billion a year industry. This industry is
largely targeted towards the female
population, as women constitute 95% of
the membership in weight-loss programs.
It is vested and based on the message that
women are not 0.k. the way they are,

The fashion industry also makes a lot of
money from breeding body insecurity in
women. Fashion models do not represent
the majority of ordinary women. Until we
have images of women of all different
sizes and all seen as being perfectly o.k.,
women are apt to feel degraded because
they don’t see themselves represented.

Many women have a disturbed body
image as well as a disturbed relationship
with food. An early family history that
has not fostered the development of'a
healthy sense of self-esteem to make
women more vulnerable to the cultural
dictates of feminine beauty and
acceptability as a measure of value and
self-worth. These women are prone to
develop a disturbed or addictive
relationship with food in order to conceal
the deeper wound of their personal self
doubts, shame and feelings of insecurity.

Women with eating disorders take to an
extreme the idea that they can change
their inner selves by controlling their
outer selves. Anorexia and Bulimia, with
either food restrictions/or binge-purge
behavior, becomes a coping mechanism in
which the focus is on controlling the body
in an attempt to control ones feelings
when many feelings and things in ones
environment seem to be out of control or
confusing.

New campus fees widespread among SUNY's

(CPS)About 200,000 State
University of New York students
were spared tuition hikes this
year, but in recent weeks have
gotten a series of campus fee
hikes instead.

Students at 26 of the SUNY
system’s 34 campuses are being
hit with new or higher fees.

A last minute switch in the
wording of one fee proposal,
moreover, doubled the amount
the students may have to pay for
campus health services.

While students at Indiana
University and the universities of
North Carolina-Chapel Hill and
Wisconsin, among many others,
have suffered fee hikes this fall,
New York’s multiple jumps are
the most dramatic in the nation.

Students, for example, paid
more to drop or add classes, get
copies of their transcripts and
register last month.

On Sept. 26, University of
Buffalo students got a new
mandatory $50 per semester fee
to ride the buses the three miles
between UB’s north and south
campuses.

“We shouldn’t have to pay to
get to class,” complained Mike

Cross, treasurer of the school’s
Student government.

At the same time, SUNY
administrators were meeting to
double a new health fee even
before it becomes official.

The original draft of the
proposal to impose the fee,
which will help pay for a variety
of health services, called for
students to pay $50 a year.

In the draft the board of trustees
approved on Sept. 27, however,
the wording had changed to $50
a semester, effectively doubling
the maximum fee.

Each campus will decide how
much to charge, SUNY system
spokesman Ken Goldfarb
explained. “The maximum is $50
a semester.

Goldfarb said making the new
mandatory fee will enable
students at all the system
campuses to get health services
for the first time.

“Now there will be basic
(health) services offered on all
campuses” to all students, he
said.

et, “there’s nothing in the
report about what students will

get” for their money, countered
Judith Kerbs, president of the
Student Association of the State
Universities, a coalition of
student leaders from SUNY
campuses.

The fee is “chiefly a revenue
raiser for the university,” Krebs
charged. “Students are not going
to be able to pay that.”

Jody Dukin, a member of the
SUNY trustee Committee on the
Quality of Student Life,
maintained students were
included in all the meetings
called to discuss the new fees,
including the health fees.

“i believe the central
administration has been very
responsive to” students, she said.

At Buffalo, students are
planning a student strike to
protest their new mandatory bus
fee.

Students must pay a dollar a
tide or $50 a semester to use the
buses that connect the
university’s two campuses.

Administrators originally tried
to make the bus fee optional,
hoping that about 3,500 students
would pay the fee, Cross said.

But when a student boycott
resulted in only 1,000 bus passes

The ASP is now delivering to Freedom
Quad. The newspaper can be picked
up at the D4 commons area

being sold, the administration
threatened to take the buses
away completely.

The threat prompted a student
protest on Sept. 10 that ended
when students attempted, in vain
to storm administative offices.

On Sept. 26, the administration
announced students could keep
the buses, but paying for them
would be mandatory.

“The university does need more
money,” Cross conceded. “Our
feeling is students shouldn’t have
to pay to subsidize the state.”

However Robert Palmer, vice
provost for student affairs at

Buffalo, said students may have
to do just that.

“it is safe to say that the
university system is experiencing
some financial difficulties and
will need to look to student
funding” to pay for services,
Palmer said.

Palmer would not say whether
SUNY was raising student fees
in lieu of raising tuition, which is
politically harder to do than
hiking fees.

On Sept. 27, the SUNY Board
of Trustees considered asking
lawmakers for a $59 million
budget increase.

Workshops prepare students for job hunt

By Jillian Risberg
STAFF WRITER

Beginning next Tuesday,
October 23rd, the Career
Development Center will be
holding mock interview
workshops, designed to give
students practice in an interview
setting. “It’s good preparation
for the real thing,” Patricia
Rumore, a career counselor, said.

In the workshops, two people
will sit together and have a
videotaped interview, Rumore
explained. The video will be
played back and viewed by
students who will give each
other feedback.

“They will go over tough

questions,” she said, “and
discuss what parts of the
interview went well, what could
have gone better, and( make)
suggestions for improvement.”

the Career Development Center
will hold another mock
interview workshop on
November 8th, and designated
days will be reserved for
“Careers In.”

Nobel Peace Prize to Gorbachev is a sign of the times

By Mike Feinsilber

(AP) To those Americans who
shrugged at the news that
Mikhail Gorbachev won the
Nobel Peace Prize, some experts
on U.S.-Soviet relations say:
exactly right. That makes the
point.

“We always said that they
started the Cold War and it was
up to them to end it,” said
Michael Mandelbaum, director
of East-West studies at the
Council on Foreign Relations.
“Now they’ve ended it. The
Nobel prize simply recognizes
that fact.”

Forty or twenty or ten years
ago, there’d be an uproar in

America if the leader of the
Soviet state had been singled out
for the prize and the title of
peacemaker.

“Tt would have been a slap at
the United States and would
have discredited the Nobel peace
prize” for a Soviet leader to have
won it then, Mandelbaum said.

But the revolution that
Gorbachev made- the event that
brought him the prize- made
communism no longer much
revelant in world affairs and the
Cold War no longer a reality
shaping every aspect of
American life.

“T can’t imagine anybody in this
country would take it as a slap in

the face today,” said John
Gaddis, a diplomatic historian at
Ohio University in Athens, Ohio,
of Gorbachev’s singular honor.
“The things that were done in
the Soviet Union last year were
things only a Soviet leader could
do, but they were things that
we’ve been asking Soviet leaders
to do since the beginning of the
Cold War. So we can applaud.”
For Gregory Treverton, a senior
fellow at the Council on Foreign
Relations and a former member
of the staff of the National
Security Council, the award
raised questions about how long
the honoree will be in office.
Treverton said Gorbachev, like

so many revolutionaries, may be
consumes by the flames he lit.

“It’s hard to believe that he will
be around for too many more
acts in the Soviet drama,” said
Treverton, alluding to the
ecnomic and nationalistic unrest
in the Soviet Empire. “He’s
likely to go down as a man who
set forces in motion and then was
overwhelmed by them.”

Diplomat Winston Lords, who
spent nearly three decades
observing communist affairs at
the State Department, Pentagon
and White House and as Ronald
Reagan’s ambassador to China,
said Gorbachev's honor reflects
well on America too.

“Without taking away credit
from the Soviet leader, he said, it
should be recognized that this
country had a hand in persuading
him to ring down the Iron
Curtain and to curtail Stalinist
repression and Marxist dogma at
home.

“One can debate to what extent
his own domestic problems plus
Western firmness induced him to
make the move on the world
scene that he’s making,” said
Lord, “but the fact is objectively
he has helped make the world
less tense. I believe the United
States, including Presidents
Reagan and Bush, deserves credit
for these developments as well.”

New budget cuts could hit hard o

(CPS)College student loans may be much
harder to get next year if Congress
approves the federal “budget summit”
compromise reached Sept. 29,

The compromise, worked out by
President George Bush and congressional
leaders over four months of tense
negotiations over how to bring the federal
budget deficit under control, hopes to cut
$500 billion in spending over the next five
years. The plan includes saving $2 billion
from the federal student loan program,

Supplemental Loans for Students,
Parents Loans for Undergraduate
Students, Stafford and Perkins Loans
would all be affected.

“I would just expect a lot of angry
students,” said Kathy Hicks, controller at
Eastern Montana College.

Before becoming law, however, the
entire Congress must approve the budget
package. On Oct. 4, House Democrats,
upset over the plan’s cuts in Medicare
spending, threatened not to support it.

If a compromise isn’t reached,

automatic cuts go into effect. It would
mean a immediate cut to all aid payments
not yet made to colleges and students.
Funding to the Department of Education
would be cut 35 percent.

Yet the Sept. 29 agreement heightened
chances that the government will finally
enact some form of compromise- the first
tentative agreement between White House
and Congress since 1979- to cut the
federal deficit, sources said.

Students, like all recipients of federal
dollars, would pay a price.

While the compromise did not detail
ways to cut $2 billion out of the almost $4
billion loan programs, congressional
leaders quickly suggested doing it by
imposing a series of new limits on who
can get student loan:

- Requiring a student to have a high
school diploma or the equivalent to
receive any federal tuition loan.

~ Making students wait 30 days after the
start of school to get their loan money.

- Eliminating or restricting federal loans

for correspondence schools.

~ Having all loan applicants who are 21
or older undergo a credit check to qualify
for a loan.

- Cutting students out of college loan
Programs who are from schools where
loan default rates are above a certain rate.

The provisions “are definitely going to
hurt student access to federal loans,”
asserted Selena Dong, legislative director
for the United States Student Association
(USSA), a Washington D.C.- based
Organization that represents student
government presidents.

Yet it’s probably to early to panic,
added Becky Timmons of the American
Council on Education (ACE).

“The budget summit can’t spell out how
those savings (the $2 billion) will be
achieved,” so no one is sure what
provisions will go into effect, said
Timmons, whose Washington, D.C.-
based group is comprised of college
presidents from around the country.

Consequently, no on really knows how

n college student loans

many of the approximately six million
collegians who use federal aid will be
affected by the compromise.

School financial administrators don’t
seem worried about the provision that
would affect them the most: the 30 day
delay of payment of government student
loans,

“We would probably extend that (the 30
days) to them (students) gladly,” said
Lynn Holaday, associate vice chancellor
for fiscal operations at Appalachian State
University in North Carolina.

Eastern Montana’s Hicks conceded the
provision, designed to stop people from
fraudulently collecting loan money and
then leaving campus without ever
attending class, would mean “there would
be some technical types of things that
would need to be worked out” so the
school could get along without its tuition
money for the first 30 days of each term.

Some of the other loan savings ideas
would hurt students more, observers
maintained.

EDITORIAL ——

Dutch Quad commended

With all the adversity that has surfaced in
the past weeks around SUNYA students, the
good tends to get overlooked.

There is a group of students who have
worked through these troubled times and
sent a message out to the University, as well
as the Albany community, that they care.

This group is the Dutch Quad Board.

Recently, members of this board
submitted an idea to the administration to
install peep holes in every dorm room. The
hole would allow students to view outside
their room before opening their door.

There is currently a plan to begin
installation on Alumni Quad, and the other
dorms are still being looked into.

The Quad Board is also organizing a
"Giving Tree" to help out the
underprivileged in the community. Along
similar lines, a "Giving Day" is being
organized.

The board will also host a talk show type
forum for parents and students during
Parents’ Weekend.

Kudos to the Dutch Quad Board.

Big ideas for the Knick

Albany is the capital of New York State.
A capital without a major professional
sports team. A capital, that until recently,
was without a major arena.

And then came the Knick. A sport and
entertainment venue able to seat over
16,000.

On Wednesday, the New York Knicks and
Philadelphia 76ers played before a capacity
crowd at the Knick in an exhibition game.
The large csowd must certainly have
triggered grandiose ideas among the most
timid of sports fans in Albany.

"Maybe we should play half our games at
the Garden and half our games here," jested
Knick head coach Stu Jackson after the
game.

Hmm!

It's obvious that the Knicks aren't about to
move 20 games into Albany, but one or two
may not be that far fetched.

Every season the Boston Celtics play
several home games in Connecticut. It has
proven successful.

There is no doubt that Albany is a
basketball town. The high schools in the
surrounding areas pack the rafters for their
games. Even the SUNYA Great Danes fill it
up for a big game.

The Patroons, a CBA team, get decent
crowds for their games. But Albany craves
more.

The Knickerbocker Arena is there and
waiting. Did anyone say Division I ?

Environmentalists inhibit economy

The political winds of have blown the environmental
issue to the forefront of the American public policy
agenda. The Republic of the Environment has
enfranchised local, state and federal lawmakers, special
interest groups, Hollywood and public opinion. The
drum beat of “awareness” and “consciousness raising”
concerning the environment has been long and non-stop.
It can be said that conservatives are most happy when
they are resentful. The environment provides that
reaction.

Christopher Chichester

Environmentalism has become a secular religion
promoting an absolutist cause. It tends to have the
thetoric of environmental concern sprinkled with the
words “perish” and “destroy” in reference to humanity. It
is a reminder of the old “Socialism or Death” bromides
chanted by the hard core Left in America.
Environmentalism will become the New Socialism if our
legislators, political commentators and people in general
continue to speak in such fatalistic tones.

As the environment grows in importance the extremist
nature of its cause will also become evident. In his
campaign for the presidency George Bush said he
wanted to be the “Environmental President.” He has
proposed to elevate the Environmental Protection
Agency to cabinet-level status, placed a moratorium
upon off-shore drilling and will sign the Clean Air Act of
1990 into law. What is the response to the President’s
good-faith efforts from the forces of environmentalism?
“Bush’s efforts at balance, compromise, and consensus-
building are killing the world,” snorted Jay Hair, the
president of the prominent World Wildlife Foundation.

What is an environmentalist? A recent poll on the
Cable News Network showed 75% of Americans
declaring themselves to be such. If it means a gathering
of people in Central Park who are “concerned” about the
environment, the obligatory denunciation of Exxon and
the armchair quarterbacking opinion promoting a $30
billion tax hike concealed as the Clean Air Act of 1990,
this writer must confess to be a heretic in the Church of
Environmentalism.

If it means a commitment to preserving the quality of
life, legislating for clean air and water and having people
act in their own self-interest for the environment, count
this writer an environmentalist. Adam smith once said
words to the effect, “It is not from the benevolence of the
butcher, baker and the brewer that dinner can be put on
the table, it is from their awareness to act in their own
self-interest.” The green rage of the environmental
movement cannot comprehend this formulation. They
advocate a perpetual government intervention into the
free market that will not only cripple our ability to
compete globally, but will lose the goals of
environmentalism in a bureaucratic sea of red ink,

Our state legislature here in New York and Congress
should make the environment an attractive opportunity

for American businesses. A tax can be levied in
proportion to the amount of sulphur dioxide emitted into

the atmosphere. A tax break can be given to companies
that continuously keep their emissions at a low level. The
argument is for market incentives, instead of the uniform
standards of Big Government paternalism. Think-tanks
such as the Heritage Foundation and the American
Enterprise Institute are flowing over with creative,
market-oriented ideas. They are not simply waxing
indignant while throwing up a banner of laissez-faire.
The environmental nabobs find market incentives to be
an anathema. They do not trust the freedom of this
solution. Their response is to charge one advocating this
view with conservative thoughtcrime. They curtly
dismiss market proposals in favor of the regulatory
police,

Hollywoodwise, it is easy to become bitter and

contemptuous of their trendy parasitism to every leftist
cause coming into their cosmopolitan awareness zones.
They have crusaded against hunger in Ethiopia without
realizing it is the brutal neo-Stalinist regime responsible
for it. They have adopted the homeless as people who are
not dispossessed, but as the victims of a government
conspiracy to quash low-income housing. The new
publicity stunt is the environment. What else are these
media-hounds to do when not making movies? The most
painful aspect of their environmental lapdogging is that
people may lend credibility to it. The heros and heroines
of the screen and the romance of the cinema may not be
separated from the issues of the environment. When Mr.
Tom Cruise appears in Central Park to promote Earth
Day he is not another staffer working for the Sierra Club.
He is Top Gun Tom, the Rain Man’s brother and Ron
Kovic’s portrait. He is a Star. Can he be wrong?
Environmentalists are primarily white, middle-class
liberals who do not care about the impact of their views.
The constituent is nature and jobs will be lost, bills will
be higher all in the name of an invisible goal. When are
or can they be satisfied? When is the air “clean?”
Environmentalism is masquerading in a nihilistic
costume. The earth is worshipped, the trees are paid

homage, and the air is a moral committment. The
deification of the earth by the environmental pantheon is
a crusade for short-term emotional satisfaction. Saving
ground water, trees, grasslands and wooded areas
provides a quick fix, a giddy do-gooding euphoria. In the

long-term it will drag economic growth into Jimmy
Carter’s malaise. Will there be any benefits from the

crusading committment of environmentalists to The
Cause? The spotted owl will be emancipated.
It is the work ethic and entrepreneurial capitalism that

built America into a country that once accounted for
28% of the world’s wealth with only 5% of its
population. Since those halcyon days of the 1950’s we
have surrendered our economic productivity to the
European community and Japan. We have allowed leftist
special interest groups, acting in the “public interest,” to

slowly chip away at economic freedom. It is truly ironic
for people living in a free society to advocate policies
that will make it less free, to shackle economic freedom

with the tentacles of Big Government.

ROLcLICK WPEH PROIcIeOPE

Capital Rep’s production of

The Scandalous Adventure’s of Sir Toby
Trollope is a must-see laugh-riot for
anyone enamored with the farcically
absurd or salty ribaldry.

In the tradition of Monty
Python, SCTV, or Saturday Night Live,
the success of the humor depends as
much on its visual elements as it does
on its verbal ones. And Sir Toby’s
(mis)adventures yield a bounty feast
of physical humor, ranging from
duels and the rolling deck of a storm-
tossed ship, to a bone-jarringly
hilarious coach ride and a 1794 ball
featuring blow-up dolls and disco.

David Cunnigham

The characters frolic, fight,
roll, crawl and climb over a most
cleverly designed and well-utilized
set. Unlike most “slapstick” plays, the
gags do not come off as tentative and
hollow, but are well-rehearsed and
flow effortlessly.

The impetus for the ensuing
madness is Sir Toby’s (portrayed by
Ron House, co-author of the play
with Alan Shearman) sudden need
for 10,000 pounds in back taxes — he
receives a cordial invitation from
King George to appear in London on
New Year’s Day to be hanged.

Sir Toby’s only “asset” is his
half-wit son of marriageable age,
Bartholomew (Howard Samuelsohn),
a character who could've easily been
overplayed, but thankfully isn’t.

On their way to London in
search of a mate with a sizable dowry,
they are waylaid by a highwayman
and forced to seek assistance at
Hardegristle Hall, reputed to be one
of the most inbred noble families in

England.

Here we are introduced to the
heroine, Fanny (the vivacious Leslie
Scarlett Mason) and her make-believe
friend Sara. Fanny and Bartholomew
fall in love against her father’s

A Day in

It was 1 o’clock in the afternoon when

the telephone rang. It was my mother
with news from home. With sadness in
her voice and the sound of tears on her
eyes, she told me that my grandmother
was found dead in her apartment early
that morning and my family needed me
to come home right away. Without
speaking a word, I hung up the phone,
gathered some of my belongings, got into
my car, and drove home.

Steven Calick

The shock of what had happened was so
great that it took some time to sink in and
it was not until sometime on the Thruway
that I was finaly overcome with grief.
With my hands shaking and my head
spinning, | pulled the car over to the side,
turned off the ignition, and then began to

cry. I remember never needing someone,
anyone, just to hold, as much as I did
right there for I had never felt so empty
and so alone in my entire life. Pui! *here I
sat, with the seat next to me empty and
with only my anger and my tears to keep
me company.

The death of someone you love. It kind
of puts things into perspective. You take a
look at all the people who have ever hurt
you and all the people that you have ever
hated and you realize that the pain they
caused you could never compare to the
pain you are feeling now. You also realize
that it is a waste of time to sit and hate
them because most of the time your
feelings are usually the complete opposite
and in the blink of an eye they could be
gone and all that would remain is you
with the “I’m sorry”. or the “I forgive
you”, or even the “I love you” that you
never got the chance to say to them.

As I sit here and try to deal with the

remainder of the play in pre-
revolutionary Boston.

If English nobility suffered at
the hands of playwrights’ House and
Shearman, it’s impossible to relate

what they do to the near-sacred
images of the revolutionary founding
fathers. One is unable to ever think of
them the same way again.

In one of the most inspired
and hilarious moments of the play,
Paul Revere (Rodger Bumpass) shifts
into a game show host “tell-the-folks-
what-they’ve-won” voice to hawk his
“Reverwear Boston Tea Party Kitchen
set” at an “inventory reduction
discount.” Poor Revere is also
saddled. with a “dysfunctional
family” that makes Sir Toby’s child
look like a gift. Another high
moment is when Ben Franklin’s

lightning and kite idea is
appropriated by Sir Toby to
“reinvigorate” a certain
unmentionable part of young
Bartholomew’s person.

Every actor (save House, who
appears in the most scenes)

dexterously portrays three, four or
even five characters in the production
— all so well done that one is hard
pressed to guess that there are only
seven actors portraying twenty-seven
fully-realized comic creations.

The cast is extremely talented,
and obviously having fun with this
wonderfully tight production. The
Scandalous Adventures of Sir Toby
Trollope, without a mirthless moment,
runs a little over two hours, and is
well worth the ticket price of $14.50 to
$21.00.

Show time is 8 pm Tuesday
through Friday, 4:30 and 8:30 pm on
Saturday and a 2:30 matinee on
Sunday. The play will be shown
through November 4. The theatre,
located on North Pearl, does offer
half-price “student rush” tickets 30
minutes prior to curtain and subject
to availability.

the Lite

death of my grandmother, the emotion
that seems to overwhelm me the most is
the feeling of regret. Regret at the fact that
she will never get the chance to see me
graduate from college, nor dance with me
at my own wedding, nor hold my
children in her arms for I know they
would have brought her such great joy.

As I look over, with tears in my eyes, at
the old rocking chair in my room, I can
still see her, tocking, holding her two
baby grandchildren and singing them to
sleep. She looks so happy. What I
wouldn't give to be held by her just one
last time.

It hurts, it hurts so much and it is a pain
I can’t describe. The thing I suppose I
would wish for most, if given the chance,
would be to have just two more minutes
to speak to her just one last time. I know I
would need much more time to say
everything I want but if it was only going
to be two minutes, this is what I would

say: Grandma, you were one of the
greatest individuals I have ever known,
and you greatly touched my life. In your
eyes I could do no wrong, and I realize
the thing that brought you the most joy
was watching me grow into the person I
am today. Grandma, I know I told you a
thousand times before, but I need to tell
you just one last time that I love you and I
will miss you, Although this is causing
me great pain, I am still able to smile. I
smile because I know you are in peace in
a world much better than here and for as
long as I shall live, you will always be
watching over me just like you did when
you were alive and no matter what
happens, I will always have my dreams to
remember you by. Thank you. Thank you
for being the person that you were and
thank you God for letting me be the one
to call you Grandma....Until next time be
good and enjoy.

God, | love 7-11. That has to be the greatest franchise in the
entire world. | would kiss the feet of the founder of 7-11, if | ever
met this person. If | ever met the founder, | would be their slave for
life. Yeah, | love 7-11 that much.

Of course, there's no 7-11 in any close proximity to Albany.
Figures! | don't even know if they've heard of 7-11's up here. |
don't understand it -- the closest thing to it here is Stewart's, which
is great ‘cause it has a cash machine, but it certainly doesn't have
Slurpees, and it's only open till midnight. Poo.

That's the great thing about 7-11: its hours. If | feel like having
nachos with chili and cheese at 3 in the morning, so be it! | can
just jump in the car and book on down to any of the three 7-11s
by my house, and while I'm there | can get a pina colada Slurpee
as well, and maybe a microwaveable chimichanga. Granted, at
three in the morning | can also find all the dregs of society at 7-11,
but one must make sacrifices. Stewart's doesn't even have
nachos, but they do have the dregs of society...

| didn't even discover the joys of 7-11 until it was almost time to
haul my butt up here to this veritable Slurpee wasteland. It was
right after the prom, and my friends and | just could not suck
down those glasses of champagne straight. Someone had the
wonderful idea to go to 7-11, buy some Slurpees, and pour the
champagne into the cups. The mix was like ambrosia Gust keep in
mind that we were sheltered Long Island teen-agers with no fake
i.d.'s except for those employee cards that you can buy in the city
for ten bucks, so any primitive mixed drink was a big deal), and I'm
sure the sight of giddy high school kids emerging from a limo and
running into a seedy 7-11, in prom ware and barefoot (hey, those
heels are murder), at 2 in the morning was a real knee-slapper for
those working behind the counter. | know | amused myself, but
that night everything amused me.

But anyway, thus a craze was born. That entire summer, my
friends and | would make 7-11 runs at any time of the day or night.
It got so bad that we would get excited if we went to a 7-11 and
our favorite Slurpee flavor ( blue)was there. We'd spread the word
around on our 7-11 Hotline to go to that particular store and buy
Super Big Gulp sized cups of blue Slurpees and turn our tounges
that marvelous shade of blue. We learned the locations of every
7-11 within a 20-mile radius, which ones had the best frozen food
selections, the least scuzzy people, the greatest helpings of chili
for the nachos. We knew everything we could about 7-11. It was
pretty scary, actually. We even knew someone whose father
owned the 7-11 on the highway, and if she weren't such a snobby
bitch we probably would've genuflected in front of her.

And there's nothing up here. Nothing! | don't know why --7-11
isn't regional. Dammit, they have 7-11's in England and Australia
(with chocolate Slurpees, no less). Stewart's just doesn't cut it, you
know. Not after all the time and energy that went into this, my
passion, my ideal. | want a 7-11. | want to write the owners of 7-
11 and find out why there are NONE in the Capital District area. |
want to be able to get food at 3 in the morning if I'm still up and
there's nothing on tv. (of course, not being mugged on the way
to that particular 7-11 would be a nice thing to want as well). |
want to be able to destroy my insides with beef burritos if | so
desire (well, to have the option would be nice). Man, forget those
slush puppies you can get at neighborhood delis and the booths

at Stewart's that you can sit and eat ice cream at. | want my 7-
11! Please?

Winona Ryder: Cutesy At Large

A small town is paid a visit by a
long lost favorite son. I’m sure you
can visualize the entire corny
scenario. An overblown celebration.
A whooping crowd. There, standing
atop a brightly decorated podium,
stands the artist, politician,
entertainer, whatever the home-
grown celebrity happens to be. He is
showered with gifts, he shakes hands
with the beaming town-council
figurehead, he may get the key to the
city or be honored with ai Lame
plaque or gain immortality through a
street naming coronation. The
possibilities of false bullshit are
endless. The local honoree will wear
that disbelieving grin and bug-eyed
stare and wave respectively in dutiful
appreciation during the odd
festivities. He’ll just wish he never
showed up for his own homecoming.

Clarence Eckerson

Well, that’s what the municipality
of Clyde, Ohio has in store for their
enigmatic legend Roxy in Welcome
Home, Roxy Carmichael. The townfolk
are relentlessly giddy over the
meticulous and elaborate plans for
her return. A ball will be held in her
honor. The main street is blanketed
with pink bows and dandelions in a
smothering tribute. “Oh, that Roxy,”
the residents muse, probing their
minds, choosing only to reflect on the
good times. And for those that can’t
remember, ersatz memories serve as
fine fodder to fob off to their
neighbors and associates.

Yet, in this rural town, where
people are as complex as a cardboard
display stand, there are those that
were once close to Roxy and they

are adversely effected by her
anticipated arrival.

As the legend goes, Roxy got

married at five, had sex when she
was ten, and delivered a premature
baby at age fifteen with her then
boyfriend Denton Webb (Jeff Daniels).
The infant — who was left
anonymously on a hospital stoop —
turns out to be the catalyst who drove
Roxy to skip town, vowing not to
return until she became famous.

Flash forward fifteen years later.
Caught in the middle of this mess of
town mass hysteria is Dinky Basetti
(Winona Ryder), a cynical, street-
smart tomboy who, being the
abnormal outcast, is treated like dirt
by her classmates.

All of the cruel goading and food
throwing doesn’t really register with
the scraggly Dinky, a loner who only
finds stimulating conversation with a
select few — one of them being the
maudlin Denton. Knowing little
about the Roxy phenomenon, she
cajoles Denton into letting her in on
the gossip circulating throughout the
village.

From moment one, the coincidental
clues begin to drop like flies
following the first night of Autumn
frost. Dinky is adopted. Dinky is in
the midst of puberty. (Hint: that
makes her about fifteen.) Dinky and
Roxy won the same eighth grade
algebra award. Dinky even learns
that Roxy, like she, had an amorous
inclination towards animals. When
you put two and two together, it
seems glaringly obvious to us (and
Dinky) that Roxy was her birth
mother, which makes Denton, who is
oblivious to these conclusions, her
father.

Moving in homogeneous cycles of
promising starts and random stops,
the simple, laid-back, Welcome Home
is rarely profound and sometimes
ambiguous. Yet somehow, it always
manages to maintain an adorably
cute silver lining. As a matter of fact,

cute comes to mind quite often.

Much of that can be attributed to the
charming presence of Ryder, who
despite being stuck in another
coming-of-age role, gives her usual
unique performance. Speaking in a
resonating, dark, sarcastic undertone,
Ryder’s astute observations of life are
seizing and comical. Like most of the
characters Ryder plays, Dinky is
intelligent, articulate, harmlessly
rebellious, and possesses a good
judge of acumen. However, in
Welcome Home there is even more than
that. Ryder has the ability to look and
act like an adolescent while at the
same time speak from an experience
ten years older. Her performance
alone merits Welcome Home a look.

There are multiple plot relationships
burdened on Ryder. Despite that, the
film rarely seems complex or very
involving, almost as if director Jim
Abrahams (co-creator of Airplane and
The Naked Gun) is too scared to tackle
the deep stuff. He has an irritating
tendency to bail out of scenes too
early, before they can take root in our
bellies. Furthermore, his ending,
though featuring two unexpected,
stunning twists that cut the mounting
crescendo abruptly short, leaves a
bevy of lingering questions. Asa
result, he exits with many of the
town’s superfluous characters
dangling in the alfresco country air.

Abrahams is more at home making
light of the small town mentality. He
proves to have a good sense of comic
timing. But he spends much too
much time hyping Roxy’s
appearance; time which he could
have used more constructively with
two actors the magnitude of Ryder
and Daniels. For example, we aren’t
given an inkling as to how or why the
Daniels-Ryder relationship develops,
except that it is a convenient irony.

If anything, Welcome Home should

have explored the Jeff Daniels crisis
more vigorously. Early on, in easily
the film’s most emotional scene,
Daniels is still fighting the memories
and heartache of Roxy’s long-ago
departure when he is given an
ultimatum by his wife. “You can’t
have it both ways!” she cries,
shuffling their kids and a suitcase
into the car. Daniels begs. He pleads.
But he knows that she is right. He
then collapses in tears like a little boy
lost with no answers or guidance as
the car speeds away. The worst part
of the power of this painful scene is
that none like it follow. And it was so
emotional that we want more and we
don’t get it.

Let's face it. Welcome Home is not in
the class of a John (Some Kind of
Wonderful, Breakfast Club) Hughes
teenager film where the topics of self-
discovery, growing up, and teenage
love materialize with smooth realism.
But neither does it fall in with the
classless stupor of something like
Porky's or The Last American Virgin. It
straddles the median.

Amid the pro’s and con's, one word
keeps emanating from Welcome Home,
Roxy Carmichael : cute. Ryder is cute.
Her decadent Noah’s Ark full of
animals is preciously cute. There are
cute courting rituals between her and
a love interest. The mother-daughter
symbolism between a guidance
counselor and Ryder is cute. Usually
cute stuff is reserved for G-rated
Disney fare. And when it appears in
films aimed at older audiences, it can
become an annoying distraction. But
every once and a while, cute can save
a floundering film. This time it does.

long Sigh, beep sigh

My heart is broken — broken

into infinitely tiny pieces, crushed to
smithereens. Guess what I just
discovered about my possible “lust
dog" with those incredibly striking
blue eyes? He is seeing someone else.
Although this has not been confirmed
“straight from the horse’s mouth,” a
great many little things add up to this
horrible conclusion.

Sarah Lance

The clincher was the fact that
he blushed at the mere mention of
“her” (a-forementioned someone
else) name during a conversation. HE
BLUSHED! His skin was as white as
the pure driven (whatever that
means) snow, and at the time he was
wearing a white shirt(gee, but he
looked mighty spiffy). His face and
neck turned beet red! The whiteness
of his shirt provided such a visual
contrast to the reddness of his skin-
technicolor in real life. And with this,
my heart cracked — actually more like
shattered. Yet, also with this I fell
head-over-heels for him - more so
than before. What men do you know,

nowadays, that blush at the mention
of a girl’s name? Very, very few-only
the good ones... and damn it to hell,
all the bloody good ones are taken.

I realize I am being totally
petty with this. I mean, there is world
hunger, poverty, homelessness,
illiteracy, and rising gasoline prices--
enough to overwhelm a person and
make him/her totally neurotic. So on
top of this great big pile I (have)
managed to add the cherry (did you
get it?)-and it exploded...

There is of course a really
easy way to solve this problem-and it
isn’t even really (a problem) except
that I have a completely numb,
choked up, “black-hole" sort of
feeling in the pit of my stomach over
it. I mean I could just ask him “So

ah... are you and an item...
are you seeing... So what's
the deal with you and___- is she

your woman...?? Just approach the
entire matter casually, right?

No way! If I asked him, I would
turn beet red and although this color
would be difficult to discern on my
face - he would notice it and I would
be caught in that most vulnerable of
vulnerable moments — worse than

being seen picking your nose in a
deserted corner of the library --
admitting to this person that, yes,
you like him. Nowadays, an
admission of that sort is such a social
faux pas. “Yes, your honor, I plead
guilty to the charge of actually
having had the thought, notion,
inclination of liking this person. SO
CONVICT ME!”

And the worst -- well not
really the worst part — I already told
you the worst (and what pray tell
could be worse than this?) Well,
another bad thing about this is I

know the woman he is “seeing” and I
think she is pretty neat! So yeah, I
guess they make a totally groovy and
awesome couple. I am totally happy
for them. Can’t you see the massive
grin on my face or is that just the
clenched teeth?

Well, I suppose all I can
really do is look on the bright side-
that our eyes will meet someday as
we reach for the olives (black, not
green) at the salad bar
simultaneously and he will
completely forget “her” and fall
hopelessly and madly for me. This of
course is unrealistic, in which case I
will just have to bear this heavy
burden of adoration for him with the
usual melodrama required for such
emotional liasons.

It is kind of romantic though,
pining away for this being who
barely realizes that I exist (now that I
know he is too concerned with the
existence of this other chick).

Long deep sigh, Long deep
sigh... 1, yet another victim of
unrequited love and all that, will
have to practice _ this...

Jews must have Israel

To the Editor:

I would like to address this letter to Thomas Ellis and
others whose views are as warped as his. Zionism is a
WORLD-WIDE movement to create a homeland for the
Jews. Where have you ever heard that Israel is a place
for Jews and only Jews? Anyone is welcome to live in
Israel as long as it is peace.

Dating back to the Biblical days in Egypt, Jews have
been tortured and chased from one place to another,
having no place to call home- as individuals no less as a
people. We are dispersed throughout the four corners of
the earth (hence the diaspora), have been used as
scapegoats for all nations. Nowhere, not even good old
New York City, a city in a country that guarantees
freedom of religion, can a Jewish person live without
being harassed because of their religion. How about that
incident on Dutch Quad last week? Have you ever heard

of a situation where “Christian Bitch” or “Arab Bitch”
has been inscribed on someone’s door?

Somehow or other Judaism has become an ethnicity
besides being a religion. You know, someone is either
Italian or German or African-American or American or
Jewish, etc (Has it ever occurred to people can be an
Italian Jew or a Jewish Italian?), Well, if that is the way
we are categorized, then why shouldn’t we have a piece
of land to call our own? Italians have Italy, African-
Americans have Africa, and the Germans have (a now
very large) Germany, so why can’t the Jews have Israel?

The Jews do not mind if Arabs or any other peoples
lived in Israel as long as it is in peace. The Koran clearly
states that the Arabs and Jews cannot live in peace. The
holy book the Arabs consider to be law calls for the
destruction of the Jews! So, are we supposed to sit back
and let them destroy us? HELL NO!

You say that you know Palestinians who live in the
United States who have lost everything like businesses,
buildings, homes autos and personal possessions. They
are all just that- material replaceable items (except for
maybe the sentiment that goes along with them). Have
you ever stopped to think about the generations of
families that have been lost in Jewish persecutions?

You say peace will not come to Israel until her leaders
redress the wrongs done to Palestinians. 1 say you are
wrong. Peace will not come to the Palestinians until they
decide to accept Israel as the Jewish homeland. I am a
second generation Israeli citizen and damn proud of it.
My aunts, uncles, and cousins have fought and still fight
for what we believe is rightfully ours. ISRAEL. WE
WILL NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Oil is our downfall

To the Editor:

Bright sun, golden sand, and a jumbo canopy. Sound
like the perfect beach vacation? Sure, unless of course
you happen to be an American G.I. sweltering in
chemical warfare garb while on patrol at the Saudi-
Kuwaiti border. And why are Privates O’Neill, Martinez,
Johnson, and Kowalski enjoying this all-expense paid
desert excursion? Very simply, to protect our nation’s
addiction to foreign oil.

The United States is a foreign oil glutton. Today in
1990, one out of every two barrels this country consumes
comes from a foreign port. This translates into seven
million barrels a day and a whopping 2.6 billion barrels
of imported oil per year. By contrast, the U.S. imported
only 36% of her oil in 1973. Obviously, we learned little
from the Arab oil embargo. Consequently, we may now
be forced to pay for this tragic mistake with American
lives.

Regardless of how this episode turns out, it should be
clear to all of us that it’s time to change our ways. The
foreign oil needle must be removed from our energy
vein. While our own domestic oil wells can help
accomplish this in the area of transportation, a serious
trend must be reversed in our production of electricity.
Foreign oil must give way to nuclear power.

Nuclear power has already done a yeoman’s job in
replacing foreign oil. More than 4.3 billion barrels of
imported oil amounting to $125 billion in foreign
payments have been displaced by U.S. nuclear energy
plants since the 1973 embargo. In 1973, oil accounted for
17% of electricity production while nuclear power
supplied only 5%. Seventeen years later, these numbers
are reversed with nuclear power accounting for 20% and
oil only 6%.

Unfortunately, as nuclear power has been forced to
hurdle unpredictable regulatory obstacles and the
irrational opposition of radical environmentalists, foreign
oil’s share of electricity production has escalated at an
alarming rate. In 1989, utilities were using 731,000
barrels of oil per day to generate electricity. This was up
from 500,000 barrels a day in 1987. Future prospects are
no brighter as experts predict the amount of oil used to
produce electricity could set new records within three to
five years.

Compounding this problem is the fact that the
American appetite for electricity is growing sharply. This
year, we will need at least 2% more electricity than last
year, and there is every reason to expect this rate to
continue through New Year’s 2000. With electrical
growth directly tied to jobs and a healthy economy, it
would be suicidal to put our future in the hands of the
Saddam Husseins of the world.

Nuclear power offers a proven, safe and abundant
source of electricity. Even better, we don’t have to sift
through foreign sand to find it; it’s right here at home.

New nuclear technologies offer us an even more
promising future where domestic energy can power our
nation well past New Year’s 4000! We would be foolish
to prevent this incredible energy source from realizing its
potential.

Sadly, it seems we are bound and determined to do just
that. Orders for new nuclear plants have ground to a halt
and barrels of foreign oil keep sailing our way. Hopefully
America will wise up before many of us are forced to
take an early Spring Break at Club Baghdad.

Editorial off the mark

To the Edi

I am writing in response to the Editorial article in the
October 16 issue.

First of all, let me say that when I first began reading it
I thought it was a satirical piece. However, upon
completion of this article I came to rude, yet rather
amusing, awakening when I realized the person who
wrote it was actually serious. I agree that by arresting
people the police are only doing their job, and the
management of the bars are also doing their job by
rejecting underage people. The creator of this
masterpiece feels that people under the age of 21 are
“doing what they have to” by making false I.D.s in order
to get into the bar because they HAVE to let off steam by
drinking. There are many other ways of letting off steam
aside from using alcohol. What about sports, television,
movies or the all-powerful Nintendo? (for all those
Nintendo fans out there) I’m sorry, but people who
would go to such a great lengths as obtaining a false I.D.
JUST to get into a bar are indeed doing so for
“destructive reasons”. It is destructive to themselves and
anyone else they may encounter during the course of
their evening of letting off steam.

Why must the 21 drinking age be changed? Personally,
I feel it has been an asset to my life now and in the
future. Iam 20 years old and I don’t feel this compelling
urge for even an occasional drunken stupor. The reason
for this is because it is legally inaccessible to me. I don’t
think it is worth all the trouble that accompanies
drinking, in excess or “socially”.

You, the author of the article in question, (whoever you
are) describe “‘a game where no one wins”. Well, if the
game is senseless, then why play it? Why endanger your
own, as well as others’, health and well-being for a few
moments of fun? Furthermore, how can something be
fun when lives are in danger of being taken away?
Anyone with a conscience would have to feel SOME
pressure in knowing that something they do for fun, to let
off steam from the pressures of being a college student,
could take the life of another?

For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, the rest
of us will let you in on a little secret: We are in college
for the purpose of learning and making ourselves into the
kinds of people who can be an asset to society by
contributing to it, instead of destroying it.

Cheryl Moore

Zionism is the problem

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to last Friday’s rebuttals to
Thomas Ellis’ letter on Zionism.

Is Zionism racism? Is it a racist ideology when it is a
notion of a state exclusively for Jews without any regard
for the native non-Jews (Palestinians) who inhabited the
region for thousands of years? Is it racism when
Sephardic (Oriental or African) Jews are forced to do
menial labor for the Ashkenazi Jews (European Jews)?
Not only does Zionism involve religious discrimination
bur racial discrimination as well. Zionism is a European
Jew’s excuse to displace another culture from their
rightful homeland (Palestine).

The effects of Zionism have all been negative; severe
refugee problems which caused internal problems in
surrounding nations and negative Arab perception of
Western imperialism which leads hostile men like
Saddam Hussein to gain support and power.

There is a difference between a state for the protection
of Jews (considering their global situation) and a state
exclusively for Jews. Zionists fail to draw the line
between the former and the latter. Zionism equates
racism until it decides to dismantle its agenda
completely.

NYPIRG

Continued trom front page
“Registration forms aren’t the
easiest things to fill out. Even
people with the highest level of

education often need
assistance,” he added.
Plunkett also added,

“Assistance can be the difference
between a person filling out the
form and folding it up and
putting it in their pocket and
never filling it out.”

The second part of the order
provides that all registration
forms be pre-paid.

The third part of the executive
order provides that the
Department of Motor Vehicles
mail out registration forms to
every person renewing either
their car registration or their
drivers licence,

“We urged the governor to do
this. Other states have done this
and it has worked very well,”
Plunkett said. “This would help
students in part because student
voting participation is the lowest
of any category. Also, SUNY
would be-considered a state
agency under this order.”

The N.Y. State Board of
Elections consists of our
members, two Republicans and
two Democrats. The vote on this
order was a partisan split with
the Republicans voting against it,
Plunkett said.

The legislation mandated
$375,000 fro this order. Most of
the money went towards the
printing of the pre-paid forms,
Plunkett said.

“Not one thing has been done.
That money is just sitting there.
Not one form has been printed,”
Plunkett said.

“Not one person has been
registered to vote under this
order,” Louise Altman,
spokesperson for the a voting
rights organization, said. “There
is no more effective or
inexpensive way for New York
to increase voter participation
than by beginning an agency-
based registration.”

SADD

Continued from page 3
Nina Rogers and Deborah
O'Neill held their first meeting.

Rogers and O’Neill said the
organization will consist of an
executive branch containing five
chair headed committees, Each
of these committees will have
different functions in regard to
the rest of the group.

Scott Mims, coordinator of the
Alcohol and Substance Abuse
Program spoke at Tuesday’s
meeting about the importance of
SADD.

It is important for SUNYA
SADD group to get a good start,
and maintain a high level of
visibility on campus, Mims said.

Mims also said the
accumulation of incidents
involving alcohol this semester
makes SADD especially relevant
now.

A great deal of students are
interested in the SADD program,
according to Rogers. O’Neill
said fifty-three students signed
up for membership at the
Campus Center and thirty more
attended the interest meeting.

Elections for the five
committees will be held next week.

Continued from page 3
campus RESULTS chapter in the near
future.

Barnett addressed pre-natal care.
Presently, it costs the state three hundred
dollars per day to care for a “low- weight
birth baby.” These babies suffer from the
same malnutrition that affects their
mothers, before and after they are born.
This can be prevented by providing
proper nutritional care to expectant
mothers, Barnett said. The Women,
Infants, and Children Program (WIC) is
one such service. A $36 per month
allotment will give these mothers and
children the nutritional care they need,
saving the state a great amount of money.

Barnett also called for a mandatory
school breakfast program, to combat

“malnutrition in New York State among

school-age children.

Dr. Livingston called for higher
education to be on the forefront of this
fight, “to show that this institution
cares,”

He proposed several actions the
University should take including,
sponsoring and promoting more events
like World Food Day, organizing a
campus-wide food-drive and increasing
student involvement and volunteerism,

Livingston also suggested helping out
food banks and supporting the Big
Brothers and Big Sisters programs in the
Capital District.

McAuliff called the event a success,
and is looking for increased
student/faculty involvement in the months
to come.

Dane soccer falls to Vassar;
rebounds with shutout win

By Andrew Schotz
SPORTS EDITOR

Beware of the exit 18 curse.
This is a warning Albany men’s
soccer will heed in the future.
For the second time this fall,
Albany has traveled six thruway
exits southward only to have
both ventures end up in losses.
The most recent setback came
Saturday at the hands (or feet) of
Vassar College, 2-1. Three days
later, however, the Danes once
again followed a loss with a win
and defeated RPI, 3-0.

Against Vassar, Albany (10-2-
1) grabbed its earliest lead of the
season when Lee Tschantret
converted a penalty kick
approximately two minutes into
play.

Vassar (7-2-2) recovered
quickly and held Albany
scoreless for the final 88
minutes. This allowed the
Brewers to even the score in the
second half, before obtaining the
game-winner with only two
minutes left.

According to Albany head
coach Aldo Nardiello, there is
no doubt about who deserved
the victory, “We were outplayed
whistle to whistle,” he said.
“The loss was a result of a truly
experienced senior team
(Vassar) playing against a team
that has a way to go.”

Albany is no stranger to
experiencing defeat in that area
of the state, and hence “the
curse”,

On October 3, the Danes were
humiliated 5-0 by New Paltz, a
short drive from Poughkeepsie,
where the Vassar campus is. The
other common thread between

those two matches is that the
Danes had looked strong
heading into both of them. The
New Paltz loss came after a 5-0
victory; Saturday’s setback
followed a 6-0 thrashing that
Albany had given Castleton.

A visit to Rensselaer to play a
weak RPI squad temporarily
ended Albany’s woes. The hosts
were kind, and Albany received
a 3-0 win sparked by the
combined efforts of goaltenders
Curt Mundorff and Mike Baker.
The Danes have now shut out
five of their opponents.

Tschantret (from Rich Ferber)
scored his fifteenth goal of the
year in the first half. Marty
Hearney made it a two-goal
Albany lead with an assist from
Bill Muller. Joe DiBella
converted Ferber’s second assist
of the game in the second half to
finish the scoring.

Albany had entered October
with definite NCAA tournament
possibilities, but these hopes are
beginning to fade. The team had
dropped to #8 in the state
tankings, and that was before
the Vassar game. With four other
New York teams currently
achieving national top 20 status,
Albany will have its work cut
out, although an ECAC bid is
still a feasible possibility.

In this weekend’s University
Championships, #2 seed Albany
will face #3 seed Binghamton
(7-4-3) in one semifinal on
Saturday, while #1 Buffalo (11-
0-1 and ranked ninth nationally
in Division II) faces #4 Stony
Brook (3-10).

Albany is the defending
champions of the tournament.

NBA action at the Knick

Brad Kolodny UPS

The Knickerbocker Arena hosted its first ever NBA game Wednesday,
when the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the New York Knicks 115-96 in a
preseason exhibition. The Sixers' Charles Barkley was the game's MVP
on the basis of his 27 points and 7 rebounds. Patrick Ewing and Trent
Tucker led New York with 18 points apiece.

The game, the first of the two-game Pepsi Challenge, was seen by
a capacity crowd of 16,022. Game two of the series will pit the Minnesota
Timberwolves against the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday.

Final meeting for Miami-Notre Dame

By Steve Wieberg
South Bend, Ind.

The beginning? Frankly, it’s a
bit hazy.

The beginning was the early
°70s, when Miami (Fla.) was a
footnote, a blip on the screen of
a major-college giant like Notre
Dame.

But lately ... wow! There’s
Jimmy Johnson and 58-7. The
tussle in the tunnel and Steve
Walsh’s batted-down conversion
pass. Third-and-44 and the end
of a 23-game winning streak.
One national championship
decided two years ago, another
last year, maybe a third in a row
this week.

Shove by shove, showdown by
ranked showdown, it has grown
the past five seasons into the
most colorful, most intense, most
significant rivalry in the game
today — only to come to an
abrupt end Saturday afternoon.

The No. 2-ranked Hurricanes
and No. 6 Irish will meet in
historic Notre Dame Stadium,
and call it a 23-game series,

“You're dealing with two great
programs,” Miami coach Dennis
Erickson said.

“You just hate to see a rivalry
like that end because those kinds
of rivalries are what keep college
football alive and make it the

sport that it is.”

“This series should go on,”
Notre Dame linebacker Andre
Jones said. “Notre Dame should
play Miami every year ...
Hopefully, we can still meet in a
bowl game.”

Both teams come in with an
unexpected loss, Miami in its
opener at Brigham Young and
Notre Dame two weeks ago to
Stanford, but both still sit
squarely in the national
championship picture. Saturday
will determine who stays.

“We're backed into a corner,”
said Mike Sullivan, the
Hurricanes’ standout offensive
lineman. “There’s nothing we
can do but win the rest of our
gamés.”

Possibly ahead for the winner:
a date with unbeaten No. 1
Virginia in the Florida Citrus
Bowl.

The oddsmakers’ pick is Miami
(by three points). And indeed,
there is reason to like the Canes.

Since that 28-21 upset at BYU,
they’ve beaten California by 28
points, Iowa by 27, then-No. 2
Florida State by nine and, last
week, Kansas by 34.

They have quarterback and
Heisman Trophy candidate Craig
Erickson, who threw for 210

yards and two touchdowns in last
year’s 27-10 victory, plus a
newly intimidating running
game. And they have the
nation’s second-best defense
against the run,

There are questions about pass
defense and a propensity for
giving up points and big plays,
but not as many as there are for
Notre Name,

The Irish, who spent a couple
weeks at No. 1 after Miami’s
