Danes stun Southern Connecticut

By Marc Berman
CONTRINUTING EDITOR

New Haven—The significance
of a victory can sometimes be
measured by the fury of the
celebration afterwards, If that
scale of measurement is u
the Danes" latest game,
justly stated that the Albany State
football team posted a mighty big
triumph Saturday afternoon
against Southern Connecticut,

When the final second ticked
off the clock making the Danes's
20-16 victory over the Division IL
Owls official, pandemonium rul-
ed the Albany State sidelines as
the players pranced about Bowen
Field, leaping into teammates’
arms and giving out bearhugs to
all willing to accept.

For Albany State, it was their
fourth straight victory and second
straight win over ‘a Division IL
school, which should convince
Lambert Poll voters that the 4-1
Danes are worthy of a Top Ten
national ranking, and enhance its
chances for the NCAA playoffs.
It also marked the Danes sixth
straight win at Bowen Field.

“Since I've been here, there has
been no greater satisfying win
than today," said offensive line
coach Ed Zaloom in the winning
lockerroom. “It was such a
courageous victory. This
showed that they had heart

Few observers at the end of the
first quarter, including coach Bob
Ford, figured the Danes would
have reason to celebrate after the

The dynasty lives on.

The Albany State men’s tennis
team put their names in the record
book Saturday when they rose
above a strong field to capture an
unprecedented seventh straight
SUNYAC championship,

The Danes totaled 29 points to
overcome University of Buffalo,
who came in second place with
25, and third place Binghamton,
who had 22%.

While Albany only outscored
Buffalo and Binghamton by one
point in doubles play, good team
balance in singles gave Albany a
decisive edge, as they scored 20
points in singles to Buffalo's, 16
and Binghamton's, 14,

ning the seventh time is just as
good as winning the first time, “It
was very. satisfying, especially
because we knew we were facing a
very tough field,"* said Lewis,
“The overall». competition was
great this year.'!

‘The spotlight match in first
singles was the final between Buf-
falo's top seed Ken White and se-
cond seed David Grossman of
Albany. Grossman took White,
this fall's ECAC champion, to
three sets, but lost, 6-1, 2-6, 6-3,

“He (Grossman) felt that he
played poorly, but 1 thought he
played well,” Lewis explained,

“Milano is a gutsy kid, a real

Southern Connecticut Coach
Rick Cavanaugh. ‘‘He’s a real

‘The Danes’ offense started the

day tentatively. Milano didn’t*

touch the ball until Albany State

was down 7-0, Albany won-the
toss but elected to kick, a move
that backfired as the Owls march-
ed down the field 65 yards in nine
plays. The ninth play’ was an
8-yard touchdown pass from Jim
Tacaks to Joe Taccetta, The extra
point was blocked by Wayne
Anderson.

The Danes’ first. possession
was over before it) started as
Albany was stopped cold on three
straight plays, On their ‘next
possession, disaster” struck.
Milano made an errant pitch to
Caesar Revano, which brought
the ball back to the four-yard
line. After an incomplete pass,
Caesar Revano fumbled a pitch
and Bob Wilson caught the loose
ball in mid-air. On the first play
from the 3-yard line, Tacaks
found John Miller in the endzone
to give the Owls a 13-0 bulge.

The Danes looked in trouble.
They failed to get a'first down on
the next possession, but after a
strong defensive stand, the Danes
got the ball back one minute later.

After getting their initial first
down of the game with 3:41 left in
the first quarter, Milano-ran the
option 43 yards to the Owl 27
yard line before being stopped
from behind by Stan Morrison. It
was a crucial play for Albany
mainly in terms of confidence, ‘1
think we were nervous as a team
at the beginning,” Milano said.
“But after that drive, we settled
down.””

One of the turning points of the
tournament came in second
singles when Albany's Tom
Schmitz surprised first seed Dan
Scheulfand of Buffalo, 7-6, 6-2,
in the quarterfinals,

“Tom Schmitz had a tough
match," said Lewis, ‘but it was a
big turning point for us because
he knocked off the number one
seed immediately, which was ac-
tually a 7-point swing in our
favor."

Lewis was referring to the four
points Schmitz earned when he
won the final over second-seeded
Mark Birnbaum of Binghamton,
1-6, 7-5,6-1, That left Buffalo
with only one point in a bracket
they were favored to win,

Another important turning
point came when Albany's fifth
singles player, Mike Dermansky,
shook off injuries that kept him
out of practice all week to storm
past Binghamton’s Hall Groat in
Straight sets, 6-1,6-1,

“1 was a little skeptical about
our chances because Mike was
hurt and he hardly practiced all
week," said Lewis,"* but he was
the key for us.””

At third singles, Albany's Jay
Eisenberg fell in the finals to Buf-
falo's Ed Wagner in a close match
that required two tiebreakers, 7-6,
7-3. Albany falled to produce a
singles finalist in only the fourth
singles flight as David Zobler lost
in the quarterfinals to the even-
tual champion, Joe Alfano of

Binghamton, 6-0, 4-6, 6-1, in the
quarterfinals.

At sixth singles, Albany got a
tremendous boost» when Bob
Siracuse came back in the finals
after falling behind by a set to top
seed Brian Myerhofer of Buffalo,
7-5. Siracuse took the next two
sels, 6-3, 6-2,

irst doubles competition mat-
ched top-seeded White and
Scheulfand of Buffalo against
Grossman and Schmitz of
Albany. The Buffalo duo prevail-
ed, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.

Albany did pick up some im-
portant points in second doubles
as Eisenberg and Dermansky
whipped Oneonta’s Jim Wilk and
Scott Aitchinson, 6-4, 6-2. This
was the Albany duos second
straight SUNYAC doubles cham-
pionship and gave Dermansky
two championships again this
year,

‘Third doubles found Albany
being defeated in the semifinals,
6-4, 1-6, 6-0, to Binghamton
when Siracuse teamed with Mit-
chell Gerber, who made an ap-
pearance after spending most of
the season injured.

Lewis attributed Albany's
record-setting championship to
good team balance and. the
heroics of Schmitz and

Pros to advise

‘A new Women’s Studies Internship which will provide
students the chance to gain experience in the traditional
“man’s world” was announced Tuesday as part of a lec-
ture titled ‘Taking Charge of Your Career.

Dr. Susan Kaplow, who will direct the internship,
discussed the benefits of networking among women when
seeking, a job and also the best method of determining
what job is the right one.

‘1 want to introduce you to a different philosophy and
different method of thinking about career and career
planning," Kaplow said, “I think the way we usually
think about career is we get some information . . . and
then we figure out which box of the different boxes of
society we might fit ourselves into,””

She continued, saying, ‘I'm going to suggest turning
this process around and not start with what are the ex-
Usting boxes .... professions and career tracks that we
can fit ourselves into, but start instead with ourselves,

“To me, that’s the essence of the difference between
haying a job and having a career," she emphasized.

“A career is something that expresses you, The place to
start building something like that is yourself,” Kaplow
added, before handing out an “office politics self-
‘assessment questionnaire" which Kaplow said will help
students “‘hone in on what kind of person you are and
points you in the beginning directions of your career

rae questionnaire had students pick adjectives they
would use to describe themselves and ended with one of
the-six categories being pointed to. Categories included
groups like “‘artistic’” or “enterprising.”

“After you have some sense of how you can begin to
sort jobs through, what do you do next? You do some
research," Kaplow told the audience. ‘There are many,
many books in thé library which are really nothing but
fancy lists’of the different things people can do in this
world, she added,

© any, other infectious patient.”

““Allof the staff feel the same way,” he sald, ““Any stu-
dent or visitor to campus would recelve treatment or
emergency care upon initial diagnosis of AIDS just like
any other health issue," Brown said, adding that depen-
ding upon the severity the patient might be referred to an
off campus health facility.

The infirmary lacks such facilities as'a radiology unit,
and x-ray machines which diagnose pnuemonia, an ail-
ment sometimes afflicting the AIDS patient. Such pro-
cedures could have to be done at a hospital, Brown

“Our health educators do need education about
AIDS." continued Brown. “We have sent our nurses and
physicians to conferences, and they've all been made
aware of the AIDS Council in Albany as a resource,” he
said.

“1 went to a two-day conférence held at the Police
Academy,” said Michele Lennon, the nurse in charge of
the out patient department at the infirmary. ‘The con-
sensus of opinion at the conference was that among all
the health care workers who have dealt with AIDS, there
have been no cases of AIDS," she said.

“Although 1 feel comfortable about dealing with
‘AIDS, I need more information,” Lennon said, adding
that there has been no panic among the infirmary staff.””

“We do treat hepatitis and infectious mono,’ said
Lennon, ‘and we will treat an AIDS patient the same as

Dorm rate increases
feared as SUNY votes
on self-sufficient plan

By Karen E. Beck
STAFP WRITER

Students may have to pay more for on-campus hous-
ing next year if the SUNY Board of Trustees and state
legislature approve the concept of “dormitory sel
sufficiency.

Self-sufficiency means all facility operations and
maintenance costs are funded primarily through dor-
mitory fees while state subsidies are eliminated.

While the idea could be applied in many different
ways to include many combinations of costs, SUNY
Central is working with a form of self-sufficiency
which would include all direct and indirect costs of run-
ning a dorm.

The self-sufficiency plan goes before the SUNY Cen-
tral Board of Trustees on Wednesday, October 23 and
before the New York State legislature in January.

Self-sufficiency is a system in which the income of
the dormitories pays for the dorms themselves,”” said
University President Vincent O'Leary.

The Board of Trustees announced its first steps
toward self-sufficiency in 1980 with a $150 dorm room
rent increase. Increases have followed, but a full self-
sufficiency plan requires legislature approval,

“What self-sufficiency boils down to is that SUNY
wants more control over campuses and wants the New
York State Department of Budget to have less control
over it. In this way, self-sufficiency could be a good
thing.”” said Steve Saroki, Executive Vice President for
the Student Association of the State University
(SASU)....

“This is something that's been developing for about
five years, Over that time a member of the Board of
Trustees said the dorms should go self-sufficient,”” said
O' Leary.

“In order to decide what will be encompassed by
self-sufficiency,”” said O’ Leary ‘we've had to reach in
‘a decide what (cost) is uniquely the dormitories and
what is uniquely the institution’

According to the self-sufficiency plan, dormitory
fees could include such services as grounds department
or campus security.

“1 think the issue of self-sufficiency demands our at-
tention most importantly because we should sce that
dorm rates don’t increase prohibitively,”’ said Student
Association Vice President Ross Abelow.

SUNY's application of self-sufficiency could cause
dorm rates to vary throughout the SUNY system.

“it’s a dangerous proposal for students," said SA
President Steve Gawley. ‘‘It will seriously effect access
on the part of the students applying to state schools. A
further danger is that room rates will vary statewide
from SUNY campus to SUNY campus. A student's
choice for school might have to, for example, be made
based on utility costs in a specific part of the state, or
something as bizarre as that.'*

“Variable room rates on campuses across the state is
one on the biggest problems with self-sufficiency,”
said Saroki, “The way SUNY is defining self-
sufficiency right now, it doesn’t help to improve stu-
dent life at all. It could, in fact, lead to discrimination
against students on the basis of how much money they
have,

“The campuses which will undergo the greatest
room rate increases are the dorms which are most
underutilized,”’ said Saroki, noting that Brockport and
Now Paltz are such campuses. ‘'Students will have to
pay more money in order to make up for the costs of
the rooms not being used,” he said,

“Costs for schools will no longer vary according to
the quality of education available at each school, but
will be determined by other less relevant factors," said
Gawley. “Public education's mission is to provide

swept onto the coast from the Bay of
Bengal, flooding low-lying areas and leav-
ing tens of thousands homeless.

The Government declared three days of
national mourning for the dead students
and ordered an investigaiton. The 55-year-

Pogue to get first peek at hidden ‘21’ proposal .

By Bill Jacob
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT.

Although the Implementation of 21
Committee approved a recommendation
to the administration Thursday concerning
the future of campus alcohol policy, the
outcome of this final meeting of the com-
‘mittee will not be officially made public
until the administration has reviewed the
recommendation.

Vice President for Student Affairs
Frank Pogue was expected to have receiv-
ed the recommendation by Friday morn-
ing, although it is still uncertain how long
it will be before the decision of the com-
mittee is officially made public.

+ Jim Doellefeld, Director’ of Campus
Life, said the committee would not discuss

the specifics of the actual proposals until
the recommendation is in the hands of
Pogue, who will then be responsible for
teleasing it to the press. Doellefeld chairs
the ‘21” Committee.

|The committee discussed the issues con-
Gerning' the 21-year-old purchase age for
alcohol at a two hour and’45 minute
meeting Tuesday morning and drafted a
preliminary recommendation at that time,
Doellefeld said.

The preliminary draft was reviewed and
changed slightly before the committee ap-
proved the final recommendation at the
meeting on Thursday, Doellefeld said.

According to Doellefeld, some of the
issues that were discussed included the rote
of the Resident Assistants (RAs) in enforc-

Members of the Implementation of ‘21’ Committee

The group has approved a final recommendation

ing the alcohol policy, the effect of the law
on the University’s judicial system, the
University’s policy concerning possession
of alcohol in private and public areas,
‘qeans of educating the University cor
munity about alcohol, and a policy on
bulk containers, like beerballs and kegs.

“Last. Tuesday’s meeting was the
meeting in which . .°. some of the thins
that were said at the open meeting on In-
dian Quad culminated in a discussion that
will lead to some specific recommenda-
tions to the vice president,” Doellefeld
said,

Tuesday's meeting was scheduled in
order to give Pogue: the opportunity to
review the committee's recommendations
in depth before his final recommendation
on November 7 to the University Council,
which. will ultimately implement the
University’s policy, Doellefeld said.

A motion to grant the public. and press
access to Tuesday's meeting was defeated
by teh committee with a vote of 3-4-2 ac-
cording to Doellefeld,

The vote to deny the press access to the
meeting came before the arrival of Student
Committee member Marty Gloubin, who
arrived. late. A controversy developed
when Phil Botwinick, another student
committee member, requested a revote
under Robert's Ruled of Order. The revote
was eventually denied, following an angry
outburst by Doellefeld concerning Bot-
winick's request.

In an interview the following day,
Doellefeld explained that ‘most of the
people have been participating in these ses-
sions from the beginning and. we have

“never conducted our discussions in such a

way that we were relying on Robert's Rules
of Order as a manner of governing or con-
ducting a meeting," He added, however,
that the situation in question called for a

referral to Robert’s Rules. |
Although SA President. Steve Gawley
was unsure of the recommendations made
by the committee, he said that the Im-
plementation of 21. Committee was very
similar to the Impact of 21 Committee last
hich he said gave a ‘reasonable

Gawley suggested that there may be
limits on the number of kegs allowed in
suites, but he said that he does not expect a
“dry campus.’” 6

. Although the student representatives on
the committee are obligated not to discuss
committee proceedings, Gawley said they
are responsible to report to him, He ex-
pects to be fully aware of thé committee's
recommendation on Friday.

The committee may suggest implemen-
ting a policy. which goes further than state
law requires, Gawley said, When asked
why, he replied, ‘There are forces in this
University that would go beyond state law
to prove a point . .. However, an unen-
forceable policy will cnly lead to bigger
problems.””

All student representatives ‘on the com-
mittee supported the opening of the
meetings, Gawley said.

But, according to Gawley, allowing
meetings to be open puts more pressure on
committee members. “It makes the
meetings political anf hinders frank and
open discussion,” he said, a

Vapor lights may ease campus brightness issue

By David Spalding

‘Student Association officials are leading a push to bet-
ter light the SUNYA campus, but the administrator in
charge doubts there’s a need for extra efforts,

According to Assistant Vice President and Physical
Plant Director Dennis Stevens, the instalation of high
pressure sodium vapor lights will improve campus visibili-
ty and the best group to work for new lighting is the Presi-
dent's Task Force on Women's Safety, not SA.

SA Media Director Doug Tuttle has organized
lighting walks"” on several uptown quads to focus on the
problem’ of the dimly lit campus.

Tuttle sald he has met with Stevens to discuss the issue.
Said Tuttle, “He (Stevens) thinks the campus is well lit
and we (SA) don’t.” He added, “I think the adminstra-
tion, the Physical Plant, and Dennis Stevens have made
efforts, but not enough has been done. Regardless of the
improvements made it is a poorly lit campus and a poorly
lit campus is a dangerous one." ”

Stevens said he believes the SUNYA campus is one of
the best lighted schools in New York State, and added,
“The campus is a safe place (but) as student's habits and
awareness change there is a real need to update and im-
prove lighting." He said his department has been ‘‘ex-
tremely responsive to the issue"’ and has done an ‘‘ex-
cellent job."?

According to Tuttle additional new lighting, and betier

regulation and quicker repairs of existing light’ should:be
undertaken by the Plant..“‘Maybe Dennis Stevens gan
jugale his priorities a little bit and find more money to
help solve the fighting problem,"’ he said.

Stevens said he feels the Plant has ‘‘gone an extra step
(and) done as much as humanly practical’? to insure a well
lighted campus. He added that with finite resources

tional priority order must be stated. He
ting of Alumni Quad and Draper Hall as
high priority areas.

Tuttle said he is depending on student participation and
input to press for improvements, According to him, of all
the participants in the lighting walks ‘‘not one student
believes the campus is well lit.” He added that this years
planned light survey will be different from past years
because of student input. g

‘On October 28 the President's Task Force on Women’s
Safety will conduct it’s annual “light survey" of the en-
tire campus and make recomendations for changes and
improvements to’Steven’s office,

According to Tuttle, thiere are many areas on campusy
that are so poorly. lighted that -they are potentially
dangerous. He said the soccer fields behind Indian Quad
will be given high priority because many students use that
route to bars and restaurants on Western Avenue, He
claims it is so dark that it has to be considered ‘‘one of the
miost dangerous areas on campu:

According to Stevens that area has never been a priori-
tyof the Women’s Safety Task Force, which usually
makes lighting recommendations. ‘‘To try to take on new

‘Delta Sigma Pi tried to ‘‘represent more diverse ficlds"”

Career Day '85, held Wednesday in the
Campus Center * Ballroom, featured
fepresentatives from over 30 different
firms, however, according to some
students who attended, most of the firms
were geared solely toward business majors.

The event was sponsored by SUNYA's
professional business fraternity, Delta
Sigma Pi,

Ed Wile, a first year student, ‘said that
since he is majoring in journalism or
political science he was disappointed “that
there were no representatives from law or
journalism.’* According to Wile, Career
Day “would be more beneficial for so-
meone with a definite idea of what they're
going into since many companies in there
{the Ballroom} are geared'toward business

adding that ‘‘as a political science major, 1
‘haven't’ come up with anything so far.’

Jane Carlos, a member of Delta Sigma
Pj and:oo-chair of the event, did not agree
with this view of the event, “Delta Sigma
Pj carefully organized Carcer Day so: it
would represent more diverse fields, and
so more of the student body, this year,”
she said,

According to Carlos, Career Day's pur-
pose was “to better inform students by
having them speak to those in the field."
More than 1,000 students, with majors
ranging from accounting to the liberal
arts, attended, she said.

“We are very happy with the student
turnout,” said co-chair Jeff Wagner,

Lennig looks back to time when film was an art

By Jim Avery

Every semester in the first ses-
sion of ‘‘[ntroduction to

“This is not going to be Wednes-
day night at the movies,”’ and he
means it. ‘Some people look
sneeringly at you when you’ say
you teach film,

_ but more time is

spent looking at Friday
film than at 7
paintings or at Profile
literature.” he

said,

Lennig, who received © his
Master's degree from SUNYA in
1956 and his Ph.D. fro the
University of Wisconsin, has
taught cinema here since 1966.
The walls of his office on the top
floor of the Fine Arts building are
cluttered with movie posters and
autographed pictures collected
over the years.

“We always taught film as art,
Ed Cowley felt art should be
many things,” Lennirig said,
refering to the former head of the
fart department adding, “in those
days it was a broader vier

“Some people try to teach film
from scripts. They emphasize
story and plot,” said Lennig.
“Having started out as a film
maker, I have an understanding

Forty students will have the
opportunity to spend a half-

Footsteps originates from

According ‘to. Budd, the
students inyolved in the Rotary

like to see a similar program
implemented in the fall, ‘I
took it upon myself and said
“let's do it with the university.’

We have, all different fields
represented on campus, so why
not do it here?’ said Budd.

There are 485 professionals
‘on campus and Budd sent let-
ters to each, receiving 52 accep-
tances, Professionals from
disciplines of business, counsel-
ing/psychology, computers,
communications, health ser-
vices, personnel, and university

Lennig tried his hand at film-
making when he was 18, but as he
said, “if you aren't out in
Hollywood, it’s a tough business,
The directors I admired were all
kicked out of the business.””
D.W. Griffith, Eric von
Stroheim, and F.W. Murnau are
Lennig’s favorite directors, but he.
added, “Spielberg, for what he
does, is not bad.””

The main problem Lennig said
he finds with movies today is the
commercial situation of studios
trying to find mass appeal in an
age when it’s so expefisive to
make a film,

“Film is considered an art,
where before it was a business.
What was produced before was
more artistic than what they put
out today,” said Lennig, explain-
ing that ‘“‘we had a broader au-
dience in the past. Now it’s made
to click with the 12 to 22 year age
group.”

“I'm more interested in films
up through the 30's. 1 consider
them very experimental; very im-
‘aginatiye. They've never been
equalled for sheer story telling

said Lennig.

Lennig. said he misses the days
of the big studios, “Each studio
made enough films a year, they
could afford to gamble. Now they
make just a few films with a lot of

he volunteered for the program
because, “Expectations of a
job and what it actually entails
asre: very different, Although
the differences aren't necessari-
ly negative, sometimes I wish 1
knew the differences before 1
went into the job. If I can help
someone to make a career-goal
choice and to see what the job
is about — good.””

Constance Harding,
Research Associate of the
Child Research and Study
Center said she volunteered
Pecause Footsteps, ‘sounded
possible, We (the child research
and study center) are the train-
ing site for a lot of graduate
level work with children. 1
thought it would be helpful for
undergraduates, to experience
what we do, It is
thwhile program."?

the deadline for students'to
apply to participate in
Footsteps is October 25.
‘Although the student response
has been disappointing so far,
Budd attributes it to lack of in-
formation. “People don
know about it, she said,

‘The students. who did apply
regard the program as a very
worthwhile. opportunity,
Psychology major Andrea Vac-
canello said, “I thought it
would be a good idea, I want to
follow a counselor or child
therapy professional to see
what I might be doing someday
and give me a better idea of
what their jobs entail.””

“Footsteps serves to foster
University-community spirit.
Students see the professionals
‘on campus as little green peo-
ple, but they actually are real
people. We need the talking
and sharing," added Budd.

Budd further stated that she
hopes Footsteps is a success
this year because, ‘We: could
do it for that many more
students next year, oO

money riding on them,” he
added,

‘As a movie reviewer for the
Albany Times Union, Lennig said
he was disappointed with new
films. “I'm not saying disap-
pointed because I’m looking for
stuffy intellectual entertainment.
I just want it to be enjoyable
enough to be worth driving forty
minutes to the place and then sit-
ting there for two hours,"

Lennig, however, has found a
few recent movies to be entertain-
ing including “E.T.”, ‘Kramer
vs, Kramer’, ‘Shoot the
Moon", and ‘The In-Laws”

A materialistic attitude prevails
even in his classes, said Lennig.
“One time, 1 became depressed
because I ran a short Chaplin clip
and a student came up after class
to ask if it would be on the final.
What was he going to do,
memorize what he saw? It’s there
to be appreciated," he said,

In 1954, Lennig formed the In-
ternational Film Group (IFG).
When he returned in 1966, he
found the group had moved away
from the early classics, and he has
since brought it back in line with
its original intention, “They

seemed to be happy they were br-
inging in more people than I did. 1
told them, I wasn’t interested in
quantity, only in quality,” he
said.

The present president of the
IFG, Michele DeMarco __said,

“(Lennig) triggered in me a love
of film which I would not have
found with any other type of

professor.”

Science fields seen to be opening upto women

By Linda Greenberg

As is the case in most career areas, the
sciences have always had a certain bias
against allowing women to be full par-
ticipants in the field. Tuesday afternoon
SUNYA Professor Bonnie Spanier charted
the path that has led to greater oppor-
tunities for women in science before a
small but appreciative audience.

The audience, consisting mostly of
faculty members, was there to listen to the
second of a series of “Works in Progress”*
lectures sponsored by the Center for the

Humanities. The lectures are given by
SUNY faculty concerning topics relevant
to their ongoing research in a particular
area. Spanier is director of the Women’s
Studies Program at SUNYA.

Spanier’ lecture, entitled ‘Feminism in
Science,” recounted the past twenty years
of women and the difficulty women have
had in being accepted in the scientific
community.

The lecture, according to Spanier,
focused on ‘tracing the definition of the
problem of women and science, For whom

Fearing the possible effects of a

is it a problem?” She added, ‘We are con-
cerned about how new issues have been in-
troduced, and also about the changing
definition of the relationship between
women and science, and essentially
feminism and science.”” Her goal, she said,
was to ‘give a sense of the range of issues
involved.””

Spanier began her recounting of history
in the 1950's, which was “the period with
the lowest proportion of women getting
their Ph.D.'s in Science, Less than 10 per-
cent of Ph.D.’s were women.” Spanier has
a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Genetics
from Harvard University.,

Spanier then moved onto the 1960's,
which was a decade of much social change.
“The Women's Liberation movement
caused a growing awareness of the ine-
quality in our society.” She said that
“conflicts were built into women's lives
between being wives and mothers versus
the fact that fields in science were opening
up to which women could potentially
contribute,

Many articles, books and conferences
on the subject of women and science in the
1960’s and onward emphasized the “ten-
sion between the potential development of
women in science and their potential role
as mothers,"” said Spanier.

In 1961, the pamphlet ‘Women in
Science Careers’ was published in which
“the government encouraged women to
enter careers in science and whose purpose
was to educate employers about the poten-
tial of women,” said Spanier, Running
contrary to the concept of encouraging
women was the idea that their primary
‘roles were to be wives and mothers and on-
ly secondarily to-enter the field of science,
she added.

This conflict in women’s roles was
discussed further in the 1964 conference at
the Massechusetts Institute of Technology,
“Symposium of American Women in

Science and According to
Spanier, keynote speakers “Bruno Bet-
telheim and Erik Erikson stressed that the
“future of mankind depended on society
making room for women in science and
politics."”

The speakers also theorized that there
was “‘an inevitable limitation of women in
science’ because ‘‘women would have to
give up the professional aspirations to
‘become wives and mothers."”

In response to this contradiction made
by the keynote speakers, the President of
Radcliffe College, Mary Bunting, ob-
jected, saying, ‘I decided many years ago
that I was far more interested in being fact
than in living anyone else's theory."? She
gave herself as a specific example of being
both a wife and mother and scientist.

In 19% piece of feminist literature,
entitled “Voices from Women’s Libera-
tion’? was published which gave personal
accounts of women being discriminated
against in science, both covertly and
overtly. 11>

For business
majors only

Professors were asked to read the
following announcement in their classes last
week:

The International Fraternity of Delta Sigma
Pi, in cooperation with the office of Career
Planning and Placement would like to invite
the student body to career day 1985.
Approximately 30 firms will be on hand to
discuss career opportunities in fields such as
Biology, Chemistry, Economics,
Accounting, Law, Computer Science and
others. Career Day 1985 will be held in the
Campus Center Ballroom this Wednesday,
the 16th of October from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Don't miss this opportunity to discuss your
future with professionals having a working
knowledge in your field of interest.

This announcement should have had one
more line: liberal arts majors need not
attend. Or, at the very least, liberal arts
majors not interested in a business oriented
career need not attend.

Although some of the companies
participating in Wednesday’s career day
were willing to consider resumes from non-
business majors, the majority of the
positions they were offering were almost
exclusively in business oriented fields.

For a liberal arts major, there couldn't
have been more than five recruiters worth
talking to. Among them were Library of
Congress, N.Y.S. Department of social
services, and a few manager trainee
programs for liberal arts majors willing to
take on business careers,

There wasn’t much more for a science
major, although that’s to be somewhat
expected since they do have their own
version of career day, later in the year.

Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business
fraternity which has been organizing career
days for the past 11 years, is not to blame
for the sparse liberal arts offerings. On the
contrary, they invited a broad range of
companies and organizations and presented
the event as a University-wide career day.
Their success is however, somehat limited
because, as a business fraternity, they lack
the necesary contacts with liberal arts
recruiters.

But what about the Career Placement and
Planning office? It was listed as a co-
organizer of this event on most of the
publicity, but that seems to be as far as it!
went.

The career placement office did not even
participate in career day, except by leaving
some old pamphlets on a table there. They
said they had scheduling problems. That’s a
pretty poor excuse considering this events
been in the planning process since the
beginning of the summer.

Furthermore, we have to wonder what it
was that career placement felt was more
important than career day. More than 1,000
students attended the event. That’s 1,000
career-conscious students that Career
Placement could have reached in one day,
just by staffing a table,

‘This isn’t vitally important for a business
major — the business school tends to take
care of its own. But for the majority of
students on this campus who are stuck
relying on a business fraternity for a service
the University itself should, in some way be
providing, it’s second class treatment.

Thinking about Drinking

If you pick up a campus paper on any day of the week,
chances are that one of the top stories is whether or not
Albany will become a dry campus when the drinking age
becomes 21 in December. Terror has struck students old
and young...but mostly young.

Lynn Matyjewicz

Bars along Western Avenue and in downtown Albany
are scared. And rightly so. After all, most of their
clientele are S.U.N.Y.A. students. Nightly, the places
become packed with the younger crowd. Of course, they
are worried, Some of them are planning ahead and have
remodeled, hoping to attract an older, larger crowd,

On any given night, if you walk through the dorms you
are bound to see a keg, beer ball or, at the very least, a six
pack or two, the likes of which are by no means inexpen-
sive, but the cost does add up after several weeks of this
type of activity.

Mornings any day of the week you can hear conversa-
tions in which a college student is bragging of a drinking
feat which occured the previous night. Students proudly
announce how they, or one of their buddies, ‘blew their
donuts,’ “passed out,” or had three beers followed by
six shots of vodka, and that was just in the first hour.
Many students “blow off”” classes and arise at 11 or 12 in
the morning — on an early day.

The time is 11:23 PM. You see hoards of students run-
ning from a suite room and ask one, innocently, ‘Is there
a fire? What happened?" His reply will be, “Keg ran
out." Signs everywhere advertise ‘free beer,” trying to
lure a huge crowd. They know what will work.

I should like somebody to tell me what this huge preoc-
cupation is with alcohol. What is it about the feeling of
total lack of control that we college students savor so
much? Why would a person engage in an activity, know-
ing full well that he or she may be physically sick the next

day? And it is time consuming.

Perhaps many students are plagued by problems which
they do not know how to deal with or predicaments they
have never run into tefore or seemingly unsolvable situa-
tions. There is a term for people who drink on a regular
basis as a means of escape: alcoholic.

Maybe they do not know or have never heard that
alcohol isn't good for you on a regular basis. Besides the
immediate effects of causing you to be slow and sick, it
can have long-term effects on your brain and liver. To a
lesser degree, it is full of “empty calories” — those which
will help spread the waistline without having any nutri-
tional value such as vitamins, minerals, or protein. Are
some students so uncreative that they can think of no
other way of spending their nightly leisure time than with
a bottle?

Perhaps the reason is peer pressure — maybe there is ai
image they feel they have to live up to. “Party animal.
“Wild kind of gu: joe cool."’ I frankly think it's a
character flaw — a weakness. I think it is a sign of im-
maturity and furthermore, insecurity, Many students who
are away from “‘Mommy" ‘and Daddy’? for the first
time feel that they have to prove something to themselves,
their parents, and their friends:

Can we blame this problem that so plagues us on socie-
ty? Do we dare say that it is the fault of the media and
what we have been conditioned to think? Can We go so
far and be so bold as to say it is the fault of our parents? I
do not know.

‘There is a difference between social drinking — which
is done occasionally and not to the point of oblivion —
and the type that I see going on around me. The social
drinkers are not the problem for they have the situation
under control but when I see graffiti on a desk in the
library reading, “Life stinks — I need a drink,” I begin to
worry, o

Equality and quality

To the Editor:

As an elected representative of Central Council and
University Senate and as a concerned student I would like
to express my dismay at the current implementation of
the Student Association's Affirmative Action Policy. Let
it be stated here and now — I am not anti-Affirmative
Action when it accomplishes the goal of bringing
minorities into a picture where, for various reasons, they
have been overlooked or not represented. However, once
there is a feeling that there cannot be a committce or
group or position without a minority one starts to fall in-
to the trap of reverse discrimination and quotas. Once it
is stated or felt that there must be a minority in every
aspect of the Student Association then it is inevitable that
an underqualified minority will take the place of a more
qualified member of the majority. This is as morally and
ethically wrong as saying that a minority can never be a
member of any particular facet of the SA.

It is obvious that a middle ground must be reached. We
cannot have our executives more concerned with color or
race than the ability of of a person to fulfill the re-
quirements of a position; however, it seems that this is
where we stand now. If there are ten white male ap-
plicants for ten positions by the date the applications are
due then fill the positions with white males. There is no
justification or reason to recruit someone after the fact

ho did not take the time to care enough and get their ap-
plication in on time in the first place. With regrets I must
say that this scenario has taken place more than once and
I find it atrocious.

Let us say here and now that as educated students we
stand for equality on all grounds and that we will not put
color or race before the qualities that a person possesses
to do a job.

rogation and imprisonment with no crimes committed.
Racism is raping and killing Syrian Jewish women and
children. Libya's ancient Jewish community has been all
but obliterated due to violent actions supported and en-
couraged by Libya’s racist government. Racism is when
Jewish towns are attacked in Tunisia and when countries
such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar have long
histories of enslaving blacks. When King Hussein of Jor-
dan ordered that the sale of land to a Jew was to be a
capital offense, punishable by death, that was racism and
when in Arab countries to be a citizen one must be
Moslem and Islam imposes a set social order with second
class ‘status to Jews and Christians, then we can cite
racism, Lebanon was the only Arab country where Chris-
tians were accepted in the community with self represen-
tation in the government. But racism disrupted peace in
Lebanon over ten years ago when the PLO was driven out
of Jordan and set up its headquarters and geurrilla bases
throughout Lebanon.

Zionism on the other hand is not set into action by the
persecution of an innocent people. Zionism was
underground immigration despite possible consequences
from the British before, during and after WWII to save
Jews from the brutalities of Hitler and his bloodthirsty
following. Zionism meant resettling over 600,000 Jewish
refugees when they were driven from their homes in Arab
countries. Zionism is when Israel airlifted 10,000 Ethio-
pian Jews from starvation and discrimination and con-
tinues efforts to aid 7,000 still in Ethiopia. Zionism was
clearing swamps to set up villages and standing. as one
when the countries of the world stand up against Israel.

Jews from throughout the world regardless of country
of origin or color are guaranteed instant citizenship in

¢ Jews have learned a lesson from
ion, the pogroms of Russia and the
Nazi era. To be truly safe Jews must be guaranteed a
homeland to protect their rights and lives. The deaths of
the past can’t be forgotten, And maybe it pays to
remember that those blindly comparing Zionism to
Racism are supporters of the same PLO that in the past
month killed three Israeli Jews in Cyprus. And two in

: terrorist. And
the slaughter
of Jews. Leon Klinghoffer was Killed by hijackers last
week. His killers didn’t care if he'd ever been to Israel. He
was a Jew. This alone marked him for death and this is
Racism. The racist PLO terrorists,who killed Leon KI-
inghoffer are supported by all Arab nations in their com-
mon denominator of Racism. Some support the PLO
ily (Saudi Arabia), some politically’. (Syria,
Tunisia) and some by allowing (as Egypt did) four ter-
rorists to be freed twelve hours after learning of the cold
blooded murder of Leon Klinghoffer.

How sad that a student can excuse these facts and deny
the rights of survival to the Jewish victims of concentra-
tion camps and refugees driven from their homes in Arab
countries. Check the facts; learn the truth.

For the record

To the Editor:

‘As campus ministers we feel compelled to respond to a
recent article in the ASP quoting Mr. Sorenson’s position
with regard to non-Christians. We cannot accept a picture
of a God who would condemn the majority of our
world’s population, people created by that same God. As
we are all enriched by the diversity of human cultures, so
too may our understanding of God be enriched by listen-
ing to people whose beliefs differ from our own. We
believe the tradition of Jesus of Nazareth best reflects its
model when it is characterized by a concern for the
welfare and worth of others, the healing of division and
the deferment of judgement to a God who moves each of

us in God's own way.

Unacceptable theft

To the Editor:

Today I wasn’t planning on writing a letter to the ASP;
however after a deplorable experience this morning I felt
compelled to write, The event that I am referring to was
the cancellation of an examination that I had scheduled
for this morning. But there is more to this,

The class that had this exam cancelled was a School of
Business course, namely Finance 300. The professor of
this class, Dr. Leonard Wright, offered no explanation
for the sudden cancellation; he only said that he was
“ordered to do so by the Dean.'’ From what I have deter-
mined the reason behind this cancellation was the theft of
the exam sometime before 9:00 p.m, Tuesday, (The test
was scxheduled for Wednesday at 11:15 and 1:25
p.m.) This is not, of course, the first time this has occur-
red; in fact I can recall five other situations last year when

“an exam. was “stolen” prior to "its scheduled *test-date: * **'

However all those thefts, as does this one, had one thing
in common: the exams that were stolen were from School
of Business courses. This is atrocius and unacceptable. As
a member of the School of Business I am proud of my ac-
complishments. I am not proud, though, of the image
that these individuals have cast upon the Business Schoo!
and the University. did not attend SUNYA for four
years to be subjected to greedy, conniving students who
do anything to receive an ‘A."" This is not what attending
college was meant to be. Unfortunately, several people in
the School of Business don’t seem to realize this. They
believe they must have the upper edge on their classmates
and their friends. Competition is fine, when taken in
moderation. Theft, however, is a crime, and that is what
we have here. Hopefully it can be determined who com-
mitted this malicious act and the appropriate disciplining
action will be enforced. Until then, we must all suffer.

UUP grateful

To the Editor:

In your excellent coverage of the lecture given by Irving
Howe you failed to mention that the event was co-
sponsored by Speakers Forum.

Recognizing our community of interest, the staff union
at Albany has joined with Speakers Forum on another oc-
casion to bring to campus an outstanding-speaker, in the
previous case I,F, Stone, the dean of American
jounalists.

UUP appreciates the assistance we have received from
the student group and we look forward to future
endeavors.

Challenges UC

To the Editor:

This letter is a rebuttal to University Cinemas’ attempt
to “clarify” my previous statements.

On their first point, that of advance ticket sales, I
nowhere suggested ‘a week or two in advance."
However, that doesn’t seem to be a bad idea, if they could
somehow get around those complicated bookkeeping pro-
cedures of theirs. Back to the point though, the

“reasonable time” I spoke of is one half-hour in advance,
or, if that’s too much to ask, at least 10 minutes in ad-
vance, They may instruct their managers to sell tickets 30
minutes in advance, but wake up and smell the coffee —
the fact is that we're lucky if they'll sell them 5 minutes in
advance,

To their second point, that of Jong lines, let's be
realistic. Yes, their movie selection has improved, but
that's not the reason for the long lines. Once again, it is
their ineptitude that causes long lines. Yes, many people
do come only 5 or 10 minutes beforehand, but that’s
because they realize that even if they come early, they
won't get into the theater any sooner. The sooner they
‘open the doors, the sooner people will get in, and the
sooner the movies can start.

On their third point concerning the bus system, perhaps
they should reread my first letter. My comments were not
directed toward them but toward the University. | suggest
that they not read more into a letter than is intended. Ob-
viously, University Cinemas can’t be held responsible for
anything but their own goof-ups. They said, “If you are
still concerned’ about not being able to get downtown,
come to the early show," Why should I be inconvenienc-
ed just because I live downtown? I am no less a member
of this University than they are and I resent being treated
as though I were. All students should be considered when
it comes to University activities.

On their fourth point, I'll admit that my sources may
have been wrong concerning University Cinemas’ yearly
budget. Perhaps they could enlighten me and the rest of
the ASP's readers by telling us the exact amount they got
from the 1985-86 SA budget. Maybe that would put the
matter to rest.

One final point should be made concerning their refund
policy after the Mad Max fiasco on October 12. It is
understandable that at times their equipment may break
down, but the fact that they couldn’t even return the
money to those moviegoers is ridiculous. Is this another
fault of their “bookkeeping procedures?”” If it is, perhaps
they should look into a new procedure. At least they
could have given those people a free ticket to a future
show.

‘Once again I urge the SA to look at where our activity
fee goes, It is all too apparent that the leadership of
University Cinemas is either blind, ignorant, or guilty of
all the claims I have made in my first letter.

Self-sufficiency
<Front Page
equal access for students-that mission will
be hindered if a student is accepted to two
SUNY schools. The prohibitive costs
one area could prevent a student from go-
ing to the school of their choice.

The basis of self-sufficiency and our
stance on it is that it is inevitable that here
will be an increase in dorm rates," said

Saroki. “‘President Marburger of SUNY *

Stony Brook has stated that a $200-$300
room Yate increase is likely for that cam-
pus,” he added.

Saroki said ‘Present dormitory rates (at
SUNYA) fall short by about $1 million of
what it will cost to run dorms next year.
That's $1 million that we will have to make
up if the state subsidy is removed.””

“We're not going totally self-sufficient
next year,” said Student Action Chair
Larry Hartman. ‘As it is right now, there
is approximately a $20 million New York
State subsidy for all SUNY schools. That
$20 million is being cut down to $6.6
million-we're not losing our entire subsidy
but it is being shrunk by a very large
amount. There will subsequently be less
money available to be divided amongst all
of the SUNY schools. In reality, Albany
State could be run completely self-
sufficient as a school,” he said.

“All of the schools,” said Hartman
“will be making different proposals for
who gets how much of that $6.6 million.
This kind of decision will be made by
SUNY Central.

“The legislature has make it known that
they are in favor of self-sufficiency," said
Gawley. “In the proposed 1986-1987
budget, there is a hole. This reflects the
lack of the state subsidy for state campuses
that is in question right now."”

“We want the state to phase out the sub-
sidy gradually, rather than eliminating it
all at once. We would prefer, of course,
not to have it removed at all,” said
Gawley.

stereotype a lot of students have that all
the companies would be looking for ac-
counting majors.”

The business orientation ,of students,
however, was evident by the many students
around the various accounting
representatives.

Accounting majors came to look into
the “Big 8” accounting firms represented
at Career Day, said senior Accounting ma-
jor Sal Perednia.

Students interested in other aspects of
the business world besides accounting also
found opportunities at Career Day. Frosh
Jeff Stein found a lot of information on
hotel management, “‘a field he said he is
considering transfering i

Sharon Byrne of Touche Ross, an ac-
counting firm, expressed a similar view,
adding that she ‘would have liked to have
seen even more students here."”

According to Sue Holub, human
resources recruiter for Cumberland Farms
Convenience Stores, “We're looking for
students with college degrees, not
necessarily business degrees, because we
do a lot of training ourselves."" Interested

Science and women

In 1977, Evelyn Fox Keller wrote “An
Anomaly of a Woman in Physics,” which
described discrimination both in and out
of the classroom with which she was con-
fronted, and also the loss of credibility
that women scientists suffered if they com-

plained about this discrimination,
nally, in 1979, the book Fair Science:
Women in the Scientific Community writ-
ten by Jonathan Cole of Columbia Univer-
ity, confirmed that women were

feminist critiques of content and construc-
tion of scientific knowledge. Some ex-
amples that Spanier gave were “‘sociology,
neuro-endocrinology — Are there

“One of the problems," said Saroki, “is
that SUNY needs $14.3 million this year
for the transition. That breaks down to a
proposed $9.3 million for this year and $5
million for every year after that.

“Although self-sufficiency is inevitable,
I sincerely hope the State will continue to
subsidize at least some part of the
residence system,” said Abelow.

“I trust we will soon get what we think
‘our costs will be on this campus and we
can, I hope within the néxt-two weeks,
come to some conclusions about alter-
native ways to minimize costs,”” said O°
Leary, adding that budget reviews will be
undertaken,

‘All of this will be done under the
assumption that the idea of self-sufficiency
does pass the SUNY Central Board of
‘Trustees and that it does pass in the New
York State Legislature,“* headded “We
have to carefully consult where we have to
and watch what's going on. It's an open
issue.”

Gawley and Abelow met on Wednesday
with O' Leary and Vice President for Stu-
dent Affairs Frank Pogue to discuss the
impact of self-sufficiency on the SUNYA
campus.

Presently, a SUNYA study group, under
the direction of the budget office, is look-
ing into how the University increase in-
come so that all of the money needed to
make up the $1 million won't have to come
from an increase in dorm rates.

The study group, which is presently
meeting, is working through Pogue. ‘We
will be keeping in close contact with them
to maintain an idea of what they are look-
ing into,” said Gawley.

“We are in a preliminary stage right
now,” said Gawley. ‘We will have to wait
and see if self-sufficiency will pass the
Board of Trustees at SUNY Central and
should pass, the university must attempt
somehow to increase revenues so we can
MINIMIZE what the impact of ot
sufficiency will be.”” he said.

students graduating in December were able
to schedule interviews at the Cumberland
Farms table.

Sharing information with talented ac-
counting majors was the goal of Touche
Ross representative Byrne. Qualified
students were advised to send in their
resumes, said Byrne, which are then weed-
ed out before recruitment occurs, as it will
at SUNYA on Monday

“Students with a strong computer
background’? should watch for NBC
recruiters here in February, advised Val
Branker at the popular NBC table. “We're
looking to place people in training pro-
grams,

‘The goals of the United States Marine
Corps’ recruiters distinguished them from
many others at this event. According’ to
Lieut. Kevin Hallenbeck, lot of
students have preconceived notions about
the military. We're here to give them a bet-
ter idea of what being in the military is all
about.”

According to Wagner, “we feel that a
lot of really good information was ex-
changed between students and firms to-
day.”” a

physiological differences between the
sexes?, and menstruation — Do men also
have and are affected by a ‘hormonal
cycle”

To conclude the discussion, SUNYA
Professor Joan Schulz, said she felt that,

‘Science must keep up with the 80's no-
tion of a woman being able to ‘have it
all.’ ”

Spanier agreed, saying, ‘The women
and science issue must recognize the effect
of the Women’s Movement."*

For those students interested in learning
more about the role of women in science, a
course is being offered in the spring, entitl-
ed “Women, Science, and Technology.
Not surprisingly, this course is being
taught by Professor Spanier,

is really important. It also gives a
long list of sources of additional
information."

Once you have narrowed down
the occupations you might be in-
terested in, to a reasonable
number,” Kaplow said, ‘‘it’s
good to begin a different sort of
research and that has to do with
meeting people who are already
doing what you think you might
like to do.”

Building a network of women
contacts in a chosen field can in-
volve asking the right questions.
Kaplow suggested important
questions like “How long have
you been in this line of work?”’
“How did you become interested
in this field?" ‘What do you like
most/least about this job?’’
“What is it like for women in this
field?” and ‘‘How could a young
woman like myself get started in
this field?’”

Having a mentor in your career
field can be both beneficial and
harmful, according to Kaplow,
who suggested job hunters read
Mary Cunningham’s book,
Power Play, which is ‘ta really
good book to read about a met
toring relationship gone awry.””

sort of hostile or mystified,” but
that wasn’t the case at all,”” she
said. “Every single person I asked
said ‘yes.’ Many people gave me
an hour" of their time, she
added.

Kaplow said she thinks her con-
tacts were helpful because ‘‘peo-
ple like to talk about what they do
and they enjoy sharing their ex-
perience and insights and advice
with younger people who are in-
terested and eager.”*

She added, “It's flattering to
be asked these questions and a lot

Doing the researching and net-

The basic philosophy of the in-

“‘operable,” even to the extentof
going alone to Stuyvesant Plaza,
which is at best an inconvenient
trip, and at worst, perilous, as
Fuller Road must be crossed and
there are few wheelchair ramps in
the vicinity, which prohibits the
use of sidewalks.

The only alternatives available
to disabled students are to stay on
campus, rent transportation, or
call Star Limousine, the only
public ‘company in the Capital
District equipped to’ transport
wheelchair-bound persons at in
expensive rates, Of course, Star
Limo requires two days advance
notice. What other SUNYA
students must decide two days in
advance to go out for a drink at
the Lamppost?

In March, the University turn-
ed down a request for funding for
anew van, although they did pay
for.the last one. Meanwhile, the
task force does not expect to
achieve their goal of $20,000

before May (the only monies cur-
rently on account are the pro-
ceeds from Campus Crusade’s
sundae). The University has made
no monetary commitment except
to possibly subsidize the van in
part if the $20,000 goal is not
neared by spring, So, what are the
disabled students to do until
May?
All able-bodied students have
the option to use University-
provided buses at any time. At the
time this column was written, the
disabled’s van is in for repair and
unavailable for use, as it was since
August and for most of last year.
‘Whiat all this boils down to is
that the University provides tow-
cost transportation throughout
the academic year to all students
except disabled students. Most
SUNYA students would agree
that this is clearly discriminatory.
Do the students have to raise
funds whenever a’ new “green
monster’” is needed?

Low cost, readily available
transportation for disabled
students is much more than a lux-
ury, even more than a necessity. It
is a right. Is a precedence being
set by making fund raising and
charity the means by which
disabled students acquire that
which all other students are
given? That question was a topic
of great concern at the latest
University Action for the Disabl-
ed (UAD) meeting. UAD is a
group of both disabled and able-
bodied students formed to ai
vocate increased awareness, ac-
cessibility, and equality for
SUNYA's disabled students,

Other concerns about the van
were raised as well, such as why
no funds were allocated for a new
van in anticipation of last year's
problems? Alll disabled students
who have used the van stated their
awareness of the state of its
disrepair and unreliability since as
long as three years ago. Why does

a university which takes great
pride in making all services and
buildings equally accessible to all
students persist in restricting the
availability of low-cost trarlspor-
tation to its disabled students?
Finally, they wondered if the
University’s students at large
shared in UAD's over-all impres-
sion that the disabled students are
being discriminated against in this
matter?

If a student has opinions or
suggestions concerning the plight
of SUNYA's disabled students,
he or she should contact UAD in
CC 348 or write to the ap-
propriate administrator, All
students should be aware of the
implications for future policy
created by forcing a group of
students to achieve by their own
means the privileges that other
students are given, a

Albany State spikers drop record
after losses to Colgate, Cortland

By Rachel Braslow
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

After capturing the Springfield Tourna-
ment on Saturday the Albany State
women’s volleyball team lost to Colgate
and Cortland, dropping their record to
19-3,

Consisting of mainly division 11 teams
the tournament was, ‘‘the high point of the
week," according to Head Volleyball
Coach Pat Dwyer. Albany crushed Mercy
College 15-7, 15-2, The Danes continued
as they trounced Keen State 15-6, 15-6,

Albany then went on to beat American
International College 15-7, 15-5. Spr-
ingfield was the next victim in line. Albany
had its one and only loss of the tourna-
ment in their first round of play with Spr-
ingfield, losing 11-5.

However, the Danes came back winning
19-17, 15-6. ‘That was a big hurdle,”” said
Dwyer, adding, ‘Our rather. intensive
practices the past two weeks payed off for
us there, The Springfield game was the
best of the season so far.””

Albany didn’t stop with Springfield, as
they went on to defeat M.I.T. 19-17,15-9,
M.LT. finished second at the National
Championships last year and also won the
Springfield Tournament the past two
years.

“In this match the team overcame a lot
and played really well although we were
physically and mentally exhausted,"
Dwyer said.

The team has been consistent this year.

Team members include seniors Terry
Neaton, Karen Truss, Donna Vipulis, and
Loretta Janus, Junior Patti Munhall and
sophmores Chris Hofer, Yvette Rooks,
Amy Rosenberg, and Jill Rosenberg also
play. Newcomers this year are freshmen
Pat Incantalupo, Karin Haaland, Julie
Silverbusch, and Nicole Becker.

Tuesday Albany lost to Cortland, a
team that's ranked fourth nationwide.
Right after that they fell to Colgate, drop-
ping their record to 19-3.

“The main problem was tension and
anxiety which came out in poor passing,
they (Cortland) scored because of that,”
said Dwyer. Albany lost 15-3, 13-5. The
Danes will have at least three more chances
to avenge their loss against Cortland this
season.

Immediately following the Cortland loss
the team was forced to play Colgate. Many
of the players were still upset and fatigue
may have been factors in the 4-15, 11-15
los

/e couldn't play service reception, we
didn’t pull together as a team and help
each other when we were down on each
other and that hurt us,” said Munhall.

For a team that went to the nationals
last year and lost only three out of its nine-
teen games this season, one would expect a
fairly high rank in the national polls. Due
to an administrative problem with SUNY
Albany’s athletic forms no SUNY Albany
teams have been counted in any poll
rankings.

been hampered this fall by injuries,
which date back to last spring.

John Glaser, in seventh place with a
time of 27:43, led the second group of
Albany runners. Following him were
Kevin Shechan (27:59), Todd James
(28:21) and Paul Dietz (28:33).

Finishing off the Albany top ten was
Vernon Miller, coming in at 28:39.
These top ten will represent Albany in
the SUNYACS, except for Todd James,
whose place will be taken by sophomore
Trevor Hash, who didn’t run this
weekend.

The top ten runners on the men’s
cross-country team left for Brockport to
defend last season’s SUNYAC title on
Saturday.

Last year Albany snatched away the
title in a narrow victory over Fredonia
State. This victory broke Fredonia’s six
year winning streak.

“Fredonia is definitely the team to
beat”* said Head Coach Bob Munsey.
Cortland State and SUNY Buffalo are
also considered strong contenders again
this year, as they took third and fourth
places respectively last year.

“I am worried a little bit because
things have come too easy for our men
this season,"’ said Munsey. ‘I don’t
know whether this team is a high pack
or just a middle pack team.”"

‘The hariers have not experienced
many close meets so far this season, but

fullbacks, with Tim Horton staying in at

The only soft spot Ford noticed was
Cortland’s general lack of speed on
defense, something Albany will try to ex-

course, quarterback Mike Milano will try
to take advantage of anything Cortland

will give him.

Albany State booters defeated by

Oneonta as record drops to 3-6-2

By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER

Although Wednesday's 2-1 loss to
Oneonta lowers their record to 3-6-2, the
morale of the Albany men’s soccer team
remains high and their expectations for the
remainder of the season are optimistic.

“Our record is not indicative of our
caliber of play,’’ said Head Coach Bob
Sthieffelin. ‘It wouldn't be farfetched to
say that we could easily be 9-2 at this
point. In every close game, the breaks have
gone against us."*

Wednesday's game against nationally
ranked Oneonta was an example of this.
‘The Danes held Onconta scoreless through
the first half, and took a 1-0 lead 55
seconds into the second half when
freshman Jim Vermilyea scored off. an
‘assist by sophomore Warren Manners,

‘The Danes held their narrow lead until
little more than six minutes remained i
the game. Oneonta first scored at 83:38,
and won the game with a goal scored with
only 50 seconds left.

Though dismayed by the loss, Schief-
felin remained undaunted. ‘We've been
playing mostly teams ranked in the nation,
and with two thirds of playing time re-
maining we've been tying or beating
them,” said Schieffelin. "'We've got to be
doing something right.”

Defense is most likely the key to the
Danes’ ability to play with the best.

“We played a very good defensive
game, it was a strong collective effort,”
said Schieffelin. ‘‘Carl loos had’a great
game , as did Franz Michel. Luis Franco-
Alfonso started for the first time, and mid-
fielder Eric Cifuentes played the best game
of his collegiate carcer.””

‘Two key players who did not play were

Schieffelin, ‘we had only one shot on

other way.”” :

farc had an excellent game,” said
Schieffelin. -‘Bubba’s playing was
outstanding.’"”

The Danes have three games remaining,
beginning with Saturday’s home contest

Vassar.

‘The three teams we have left to play we
could conceivably beat,’ said Cohen. “If
we defeat them, we'll finish the season at
.500 which is now the goal we're shooting
for.” a

Sometimes in sports, whether a team
wins or loses just isn’t good enough.
Such is the case with the Albany State
netwomen.

The Danes played: their fourth
straight tough match against the New
England powerhouse, Amherst College,
and just couldn’t manage a win, losing
decisively, 7-2.

At first singles, Larchmont’s Geri

on Friday, didn’t fair so well against

ning 6-4, 6-3.

The two Albany co-captains, Nina
Cheung and Nancy Forbes, lost 6-3, 6-1.

“The last few matches we've played
against tough teams have been good for
us,” said Chiodo. “Sometimes, even if
you lose, you experience from your
losses.”*

The Albany State women's tennis
coach, Linda Myers agrees. ‘We're
really prepared (for the SUNYAC’s).
We've done well (3-1) against all our
SUNY competitors. Binghamton's been
our toughest competition.””

Myers also believes that playing teams
much stronger than their SUNY rivals
can only be an advantage.

The three SUNY teams that will be in
contention for first place will be
Albany, Binghamton and Cortland.

NCAA National Top 20 Rankings

A missed ccadline might be the only
thing that can keep the Albany State foot-
ball team out of the national rankings and
out of the NCAA Division III playoffs this
year.

According to NCAA rules, each
member school must submit a compliance
form to NCAA headquarters in Mission,
Kansas by September 15. Albany's form
arrived two days late, putting the post-
season hopes of the football team and any
other fall sports team in jeopardy.

Janice Winger of the NCAA said that as.
of now, all Albany State fall sports teams
are ineligible for championship play. She
added that no Albany team would be in-
cluded in any official NCAA rating polls
until the matter was resolved.

Dr. William Moore, Albany State's
Athletic Director, expressed confidence
that the situation would be rectified soon.

“There are a number of schools each
year that are late," said Moore. ‘We've
never been late before. It’s too bad we got
caught on a technicality.’*

Moore said he was astounded that the
NCAA didn’t receive the form on time
because it was sent out September 11, The
missed deadline is treated as a matter of
non-compliance to NCAA rules, said
Moore.

ranked fifth while Wagner College; an up-
coming opponent on Albany's schedule,
was ranked 12th.

Richard Sakala, Union's Athletic Direc-
tor, is one of four members on the NCAA
Eastern Region advisory committee that
helps choose the teams that make up the
Top-20. In last week's ratings, Albany
State was ranked as one of the top 10
teams in the region, said Sakala, '

Albany's failure to appear in the polls
will not have an effect at the end of the
season, when playoff teams are chosen,
said Sakala, i

“If a team doesn’t appear. now, it
doesn’t mean they're eliminated from
post-season play,” said Sakala. “The final
selection isn’t until November 1’

Head Coach Bob Ford admitted his
players might be caught up in all the talk
about national rankings.

‘Moore sent an appeal to the NCAA,
hoping the Executive Council would act on
it during Thursday's conference meeting in
New Orleans. But an NCAA spokesperson
said the appeal was not handled yesterday,
and that it would be addressed on October
24 during an NCAA administration con-

Terence call.

If the NCAA rules favorably on
Albany's appeal, the Danes will probably
be ranked the following week, providing
they continue their winning ways.

“It’s hard not to be involved in the

e're all here for two reasons: to learn and to get jobs, in that order,
The major decisions a college student faces are what to learn and
what jobs to go after. The most popular major at SUNYA is
business, with English as its runner up. Many students from all majors

will graduate and be employed in a business of some sort. The question

is, should they major in business?

The answer is controversial. On one side are those who strongly pro-
mote a liberal arts education. Clearly, verbal skills are essential in any
profession, as is a well-rounded education. A prospective employee
with a concentration in the humanities may have an edge over the
business student. For example, someone who speaks Chinese fluently
would be a great asset to a company as a business liaison with China.
Many advocates of liberal arts insist that business skills are learned on
the job, and not at the Univeristy. Chinese is not learned in the office.

On the other hand, someone applying for a business position who
already has mastered accounting skills, marketing techniques, and
managerial theory, and who has a true understanding of the way
businesses work, certainly has an advantage over the prospective
employee who can cite Paradise Lost and ask, “Do you want to buy a
vacuum?” in Chinese.

Beware: college students are prime targets for What do you want to be? assaults.
The attackers are often disguised as relatives, professors, or advisors. A ftereffects of|
an onslaught include paranoia, stuttering, and a subsequent feeling of hopelessness,

The most vulnerable victims are students pursuing educations in subjects they
enjoy learning about; subjects that invariably do not hold courses in the BA
building, and do not begin with “pre,” as in “pre-med” or “pre-law.” Combinations
of the letters P-R-E or B-A act as What'do you want to be-proof vests.

‘Yes, it happened to me. The assailant was disguised as a well-meaning uncle. He

Suddenly he stopped laughing and turned to me, expressionless. “So, can you do

winning novelist
treated a full au-

‘Loren Ginsberg >

Just as rock concerts begin with a warm-
up band, Styron’s reading was preceded by
SUNYA music professor Finley Cockrell
on the piano. After this welcome surprise,
Tom Smith, associate director of the
Writers Institute, turned the program over
to English department chairman Gene
Garber, declaring that, “One marvelous
southern writer deserves another.”

Garber commended Styron's ac:
‘complishments, including the honors of the
Pulitzer Prize in 1968 for his novel, The
Confessions of Nat Tuer, the American
Academy of Arts and Letters Prix de Rome
for Lie Down in Darkness in 1952, and the
Academy's Howell Medal in 1970. Styron
gained further popular acclaim when his
1979 novel; Sophie's Choice was.released
as a successful movie starring Meryl Streep
in 1982,

According to'Garber, Styron’s novels are
consistently distinguishable ‘by two
characteristics — the voice of his narrators,
and his determination to confront history,
“By confronting these enormities ... he
challenges us to see clearly,” Garber
asserted.

Styron, brought to SUNYA by the New
York State Writers Institute, began by tell-
ing the audience, “I did not get a vast
amount of money, and that is.not a com:
plaint, This is a departure for me, I don’t
come to public events unless my arm is v
tually pulled from its socket by people like
Bill Kennedy.”

Styron’s current work focuses on Stingo,
the narrator of Sophie's ‘Choice, a few
weeks before the dropping of the atomic
bomib on Japan. Stingo is a.platoon leader
in the 2nd Marine division stationed on the
Japanese island of Saipan. In the passages
that Styron read, Stingo suffers from ner-
vous anxiety, He has witnessed the brutal
Killing of a close friend in combat and,

AOUS

vous breakdown.

In clear, expressive tones complimented

by, timely pauses and active eyebrows,
Styron presented very humorous, personal
passages from his manuscript, including a
Section of dialogue between Stingo and Dr.
Spicehandler, the U.S. Naval Hospital
Psychiatrist. The doctor tries to. discuss the
incident that 1s greatly disturbing Stingo,
Doug Stiles’ death at Okinawa. Dr.
Spicehandler asks Stingo what kind of rela-
he had with Doug, and Stingo
replies, "We were close friends.” When
Spicehandler asks, “How close?’ he defen-
sively assures the doctor with a very ex:
plicit description of his attraction to female
anatomy that he is heterosexual, or at least
he was until deprivation drove him into
“limbo.
Later in the conversation, Stingo con-
fronts Dr. Spicehandler with the question,

Styron on Stingo —

. He's me.”

‘Do you think I'm queer?”
“What do you think?’ the doctor replies.
“Maybe | should tell you about the time

T actually molested a child.”

“You what?” Spicehandler regains his
professional calm and suggests, “Perhaps
you should tell me about it.”

‘Stingo returns, “Perhaps~some other

time,”

‘Through the touching, witty dialogue of
his. work and his enthusiatic delivery,
Styron captivated the audience and had to
raise his hands to stop the applause at the
conclusion of his presentation, Ten
minutes were alloted after his 50 minute
reading for questions from the audience.

Peter MacNicol played Stingo, Styron's alter-ego, in the 1982 production of Sophie's Choice.

Styron apologized for the limited discus:
sion, explaining, “I have suffered, I'm
afraid, from a bad throat, My throat is go:
ing, but my spirit's still here.”

Questions and comments from the au:
dience revealed the effectiveness of
Styron’s very personal, realistic style of
writing. When asked why he finds Stingo
s0 attractive to write about, Styron replied,
“Because he’s me.”

aticket to a financially secure future, Once
you're in school your key responsibility is
lining yourself in the right department, and
getting a high enough cum so your feeling
can become a reality.

‘Well, what about the “I don’t knows"? A
key element in the American Dream is that
the individual can decide what he wants to
do and how he wants to live, Students to-
day don’t want to decide how they are go-
ing to live. They are aware of the expected
standard of living, and want to choose one
cof the paths which has already been paved.

So, how does one best go about fitting
into one of many roles out there in the job
market? Is it wiser to be a business major or
a liberal arts major? Is it the university's
responsibility to prepare the student for
the real world? These are practical, ques-
tions which a senior standing on the
graduation platform simply must address,

I posed these questions to the president
of the University, Vincent O'Leary, “This
is not a technical training school,” accor-
ding to President O'Leary. “The job of the
university is not to get jobs, Not that we
don’t care — the university prepares you
for long term’ jobs. People typically have
five to ten jobs over a lifetime, not just that
one job out of college.”

f you have a technical skill, sure you'll
get a job, but in these times technologies
change, often rendering your skill useless.
The business school is getting more and
more liberal — stressing theories, which is
all part of a broad based approach, We pro-
vide the student with a broad base.”

Obvious words. It was just like Dorothy
clicking her heels saying, “There's no place
like home, There's no place like home!”
She knew the answer but had to have it
laid out in front of her, Most students pro
bably realize they are developing some
kind of knowledge which could prove
useful. However, the rat race for grades,
the pressure to make money after gradua-
tion, and the lack of a goal to comfort your
parents with as they sign yet another tui=

ion check,-are disturbing aspects of college
life. A viable and extremely accessable

outlet is the Career Advisement Center. It
is located to the right of the entrance of the
library; down an open stairwell facing the
podium. I spoke with Stan Schwartz, the
director of the operation. “This department
helps students understand the realities, It is
not a placement office. We have one-on-
‘one consultations, workshops, coordinate
recruitments on campus. We have pro-
grams ranging throughout the semester
that teach students how to develop a
resume, and conduct themselves in
interviews.”

Schwartz addressed the question of a
business versus a liberal arts education in
regard to employment opportunities and
salaries, “It is important to understand not
‘every kind of organization recruits on cam-
pus, It is easier to get'a quick, high starting
salary when you have more technical
knowledge such as computer science,
management information, or accounting.
As far as business versus liberal arts it is not
a black and white issue. Liberal arts
students are not naive. They know they'll
probably be ir the business world, The
most popular minor in this school is
business, Most companies I've spoken to
look at if the student did well, his or her
leadership positions, and evidence of

cl ent. One's major is not a breaking,

What about the student who drinks
beer, watches every football game aired on
the box, and takes his tests without ever
meeting the professor? Schwartz com
mented,"The center helps kids become
more assertive about sketchy information,
We try to get students to understand that
they have to cultivate relationships with
professors. Letters of recommendation are
very valuable. Students need to know
what's out there. If they don't, they're
‘often embarrassed.

“They don't come in because of invisible
and social barriers. They are not feeling
confident. Part of the job search is
marketing yourself. You are a product."

I found Mr. Schwartz to be sincere,
down to earth and comforting. He is not
making huge sums of money but is happy
with his work, It felt a little bizarre, my
conducting this interview, as | am a senior
who doesn’t know what is up and has trou-
ble seeking out information. Admitting the
probhem is better than ignoring it. There
are students who skid through school,
wind up at home borrowing money to go
out at night, and watch a lot of T.V.
‘They're the people we laugh at — the ones
who didn’t make choices. It can come a lit.
tle too close to home. a

Well, call them what you will — if you are

sncermed organizations but recognizes the potential obstacles ta. a

In order to arrive at this conclusion, |
phoned a number of different companies,
explaining that | was a reporter for the
Albany Student Press and wanted some in-
formation concerning the type of
employee that businesses are interested in,
This was usually followed by a dead
silence, which I took for reverent awe.
After much begging, pleading, and red
tape I actually got some interesting
responses,

I decided to start big and called General
Electric, Even though I explained why I
was calling, the man | spoke with still spent
the first five minutes trying to convince me
that General Electric was not hiring at this
time. I guess he finally believed that 1
wasn’t asking for a job. My questions, he
said were very timely. G.E. had just gotten
some new statistics which showed that star-
ting salaries for liberal arts majors are
creeping up and, in some cases, overtaking,
those of accounting and economics majors.
“We may be returning to the concept of
the liberal arts degree being more valuable
than the business degree,” he said.

He immediately qualified this statement
by making it very clear that, in spite of this
new trend, the majors still viewed most
favorably at G.E, are accounting,
economics, and business administration.
This, of course, applies only to the non-
technical jobs. In great demand, on the
technical field, are mechanical and clec-
trical engineers,

This tured out to be the case with
almost every company | spoke to. G.E. has
a variety of criteria a prospective employee
must meet. On the top of the list is a high
G.P.A. Also important is a former student's
extra curricular activities. “G.E, looks for
leaders,” he explained, and cited R.A.’s and
club presidents as examples. He also stress:
ed the value of any related work. ex:
perience. I hung up with the definite im:
pression that a liberal arts major who met
all the criteria had a fairly good chance of
getting a job, but a business major with the
same qualifications would get the job first.

Another big company I spoke with was
Niagara Mohawk. As | waited on hold to
talk with a man named Ernest Aurella, 1
‘was entertained with music reminiscent of
Romper Room. I'm sure there was a
psychological motive behind it, but |
haven't figured it out yet. Emest got rah

to the point telling me Niagara Mohawk
was a technically oriented company and
therefore in search of (you guessed it)
engineers. For the liberal arts major,
however, Niagara Mohawk is slightly
more promising than G.E,, since in all non-
technical jobs, “liberal arts majors have the
same chance as Business majors.” At
Niagara Mohawk everyone starts at the
bottom, All promotions are internal and
based initiative and drive, Again, the job
criteria are G.P.A., activities and ex-
perience, Like G.E,, Niagara Mohawk is
looking for “well-rounded. individuals,”
The only edge someone could have in ap-
plying for a job with their company is
again, some technical training.

I also spoke with two Albany-based
employment agencies, The first, Snelling
and Snelling, stressed that, while ex-
perience in accounting and computers is in
the greatest demand, more and more fre-
quently it does not matter what you major
in as long as you have a degree. She con:
firmed the trend mentioned earlier by G.E.
and told me businesses are hiring more
liberal arts majors than ever, and at times
even prefer them over business majors. She
cited common sense, verbal skills, and “the
ability to get things done” as important at-
tributes of a prospective employee.

My phone call must have made the Cer.
qua Placement Agency's day. When I ask:
ed about employment possibilities in the
capital district, a woman asked me if | was
talking about experienced people or recent
graduates. “Recent grads,” | responded,
“Recent graduates!” she shouted, "Nobody
wants them!” The woman then proceeded
to laugh at me for the next two minutes,
When she calmed down enough to speak,
she explained it had been a long day,

1 asked how she expected graduates to
get experience, and she suggested they go
down south “where a New York education
is respected.” This was, of course, followed
by more laughter, At least she thought she
was funny. When I finally pried some
serious information out of her, she pretty
much reiterated what everyone else said.
The most marketable majors? As always,
accounting, computers, economics and
engineering. To this basic list she added
math, which she said could be used in
almost any field, As for liberal arts she
feels that there are almost no opportunities
in Albany except in law and teaching. Her
final note was that all jobs are based on
GRA.

Obviously, businesses are still hiring
business majors. Yet the liberal ars major
is making a slow but steady comeback.
And if you're in engineering, you are
definitely a hot item, Whatever your ma-
jor, a good G.P.A. is a must, and a few ex-
tracurricular activities, especially in your
field of interest, are also a good idea, Add
to that a lot of perseverence and a little
luck, and any major can finda niche inthe
real world,

they’re’"not the’ Fleshtones either.
They're the Newports, and what
they are is Albany's best cover band

John: Keenan ~

At their weekly Monday night perfor.

mances at Bogie’s, the Newports’ combina’’'|
tion of -good musical taste, excellent”
musical ability, and eccentric between:
song patter invariably gets the crowd danc-
ing, and that’s just what Rick Bedrosian and
the rest of the band hope to pull off Satur-
day at Party on the Podium,

“The SUNY crowds are great,” Bedro-
sian said in acrecent telephone interview.
“We really missed playing for the SUNY
crowd. We used to hive a big following
among the students, but 1 think most of
them graduated.

“We've been slowly trying to get the
newer students to come hear us.”

Bedrosian and the rest of the Newports
will get their chance at the Party on the.
Podium Saturday, which they have been
booked to play.

‘The Newports lineup includes Bedrosian
‘on bass, Kevin and Carla MacKrell on
guitar (and various percussion), Jeff Strange
‘on guitar, and Todd Nelson on electric
guitar. Sound a little one-sided? It doesn’t
seem to come off that way.

Playing a variety of well-known covers,
such as “Red Rubber Ball,” “Spooky,”
“Poison Ivy,” and “Bus Stop,” the
Newports seem at first glance to be easy to
dismiss as just another cover band, albeit a
talented one. However, the five per-
formers who make up the band are some
of the more talented performers in Albany.
Rick Bedrosian, for example, first hit the
Capital District playing in Silver Chicken,
from which he graduated to the popular
(and recently defunct) Square One,

The Newports, appearing at Party on the Podium Saturday. The Newports are: Rick Bedrosian, Carla MackKrell, Kevin MacKrell, Jeff Strange

and Todd Nelson,

Todd Nelson, who has been performing
together with Bedrosian since high school,
was a member of Fear of Strangers, un-
doubtedly the most popular band ever to
come out of Albany. When, Fear of
Strangers broke up, Nelson helped form
Square One, and is now playing with’
fellow Newport members Bedrosian,
Strange, and Kevin MacKrell in Don-
nybrook Fair. Also, Nelson was the first
(and still the only) Newport to use an elec-
tric guitar.

MacKrell and Strange have been playing
together in Donnybrook Fair for about 10
years. In Donnybrook Fair, the duo have

toured Ireland, and, more recently, the
group has played New York City and
Boston.

MacKrell and his wife Carla are also part
of the “Albany Acoustic Mafia,” a group of
talented Albany performers like Broadway
Blotto and Bert Somer, who play together
often.

The Newports have been together, with
various personnel shifts, for about {wo
years, and during that time have built up a
large following in, Albany. Still, Bedrosian
admits, nobody is kidding themselves
about the Newports. They're a cover band,
‘An amazing cover band, sure, But still a

cover band,

“We'te never going-to cut an album as
the Newports,” Bedrosian said. “It’s. all
cover stuff. It's just a way to have a great
time — and pay the rent — while we try to
get something going with Donnybrook
Fair.”

So if you're looking for a great time,
since the Class of ‘86 has already paid
Bedrosian’s rent, why not head over to the
podium Saturday and give the Newports a
listen? Asan introduction to Albany music,
or just as a good party band, the Newports
can't be beat. fa

‘Nightline’: An Inside Report
Ted Koppel and a talented crew of “bookers,””
producers and technicians put in marathon days
to turn out television's most intriguing news pro-
gram. NEWswEEK ON Campus tracked them
behind the scenes for a special report on how the
show is put together. A profile of Koppel suggests
that he drives himself just as hard as he drives the
staff. And an interview with tele n's best inter

viewer brings out Koppel's views about journalis-
tictechniques, ethicsand careers. (Cover photo by

exhausted a marathoner; the staff consid-
ered it comparatively easy,

It’s 10 a.m. Tuesday, and Tara Sonen-
shine, “Nightline's” Washington booker
(the person who signs up guests), is getting
ready for another 14-hour day. Sonen-
shine, who graduated from Tufts in 1981
and has worked in different capacities at
ABC ever since, is a little worried about
the topic and guests for tonight's show. As
she looks back on it, the previous night's
program—a discussion of the gas leak at
the Union Carbide plant in Institute,
W.Va.—went well enough. A mere 20
minutes before air time, Koppel picked up
& copy of the next day's Washington Post

and saw a story about a
gas leak in the Washing-

“postproduction room,” Julie Sertel and |

Eric Wray, a tape editor, are screening a
shot of Henry Kissinger walking down a
hall. (Kissinger isin the piece because of his
consultations with foreign governments.)
Today the editing machine is malfunction-
ing, so the matching of words and pictures
takesan hour instead ofa few minutes. That
means Wray has to watch Kissinger walk
down the hall over and over again until it
looks and sounds

Koppel himself does not usually partici-
pate in the editing of a package, but he is
intimately involved in the larger themes of
thebroadcast—the points to beilluminated.
“He's just smarter than the rest of us," says
Debbie Leff, a producer who left a presi
gious law firm to work in television, “I'll Bo

The sentence is changed to read, ost of

“T've never seen Ted actually get mad ina
yelling and screaming way,” says Terry Ir-
ving, a““Nightline” producer. "But he does
not suffer mistakes gladly.” Or fools; one
look of annoyance is usually enough to let
staffers know they hed better be up to snuff
the next time.

‘At 10, while the staff cats a takeout Chi-
nese dinner, Koppel goes downstairs to the
studio to tape the show's “headlines"—the
two- or three-sentence lead-in that opens
the broadcast.“Give mea moment,” hesays
to the cameramen, stepping off the set. “It's

jomething he saw,” a technician says
"Yeah, my face,” Koppel says, marching
off, presumably to fix his makeup. For a |

advantage I can get,” he admits later.

Often during this “Nightline” and most
others, Koppel appears to be talking to the
image ofa guest on abig screen, That screen

sin fact a 4-by-4-foot piece of green felt; the
image of the guest is simply superimposed
on it in the control room (a technical re-
quirement to produce better picture qua
ity). When you see the back of Koppel's
head, and he seems to be conversing with
the big screen, he is in fact addressing him-
self to.a pair of television sets to the right of
what is visible on camera.

The show on foreign agents turns out to
beonly fair. The taped segment, narrated by
ABC News correspondent Charles Gibson,
is informative about the ethical consider-
ations of providing foreign clients with in-
side information. But thediscussion doesn't
quite jell. Lisker, who seemed

cates—a deadly trait on a pro-
gram that depends onan adver-
sary approach. “I'd give it a
B-minus,” Koppel says as he
comes off the set. “Ninety-nine
percent of the time, the staff's |
instincts [on which guests to
book] are right on the money.
But I think this was one of
those times where we noodled |

er, arrive, they are seated in a
different studio than Koppel’s, and the live
conversation could just as easily be taking
place with two guests in Timbuktu. The
reasonable explanation for physically sepa-
rating Koppel from the people he inter-
views in Washington is that it puts all of
the guests on a level playing field, since the |
out-of-towners have to contend with an
electronic discussion. The only one not at
the same level, of course, is Koppel. By
talking directly into his guests’ ears, he
the
conversation more easily. “I'll take any |

many of the othersin Washing-
ton) seems to be watching as the meeting
drones on. Finally, entranced by the crowd
at the patrician event, he perks up. “You
know, the rich really are different than you
and me, and maybe there's a show in it.”
Later he confesses to the staff his own weak-
ness in economics and urges that they work
hard to design compelling ways to explain
important but hard-to-illustrate problems
like the federal deficit. He also predicts that
another act of international terrorism is in
the offing this fall, and “Nightline” shoyld
make certain that it is well positioned when
it breaks. When the polo match ends, 60

It’s late afternoon, not too late to kill the
planned subject for tonight and start from
scratch on something else. Correspondent
Jeff Greenfield recalls one afternoon when

NEWSWEEK ON CAMPUS/NOVEMBER 1985

WAY MAME eee

With Kennedy in Washington and Bishop Tutu in South Africa: A program that not only covers news but makes news as well

prearranged topic, asked everyone on the
staff to put an idea on a piece of paper; they
put themall in a hat and emerged just before
dinner to say they would do a show on the
banning of Mark Twain's “Huckleberry
Finn™ in some schools. By 11:30, staffers
had pulled together an intelligent taped re-
port on the novel and the controversy, and
booked compelling guests. That isan exam-
ple of something “Nightline” can probably
do better and faster than any other show on
television.

But tonight, the show will stay in tune
with the weather. Given the weighty sub-
jects of the rest of the week, Koppel and
Kaplan decide on a light and unusual top-

—the comic tradition of the borsch belt,
the string of resorts in New York's Catskill

Mountains. The taped package is already
completed. But booking guests for this one
isnojoke. The first choices, Carl Reiner and
Mel Brooks, are unavailable. Alan King
won't go on if Henny Youngman does, and
David Brenner says he's too big-time to be
associated with the Catskills ("I'm Atlantic
City now"). Billy Crystal has been taping a

Hawaii and is just too tired, and

y Greene can't be reached.

That leaves Henny Youngman and Cor-

And Now, a Few Questions for the Questioner

The door to Ted Koppel’s office in ABC's
Washington bureau is covered with enve-
lopes of letters sent him by viewers. Each
is addressed to the same person, spelled dif-
ferently—“Ted Coppell,” “Tex Koppel.”

‘ed Kossell.” “Ted Couple,” even “Tent
Kolak," Inside the office, under a huge Chi-
nese flag he obtained on one of several trips to
the People’s Republic, Koppel spoke with
Newsweek Media Editor Jonathan Alter.

rpls:

ALTER: Do you ever feel you don't know
enough about a subject 10 ask the tough
question

eo rnati No. When I can, I'd rather go
intoa program knowing as much as possible
about the subject, but I don't consider it a
handicap [when} I know next tonothing. To

really don’t understand what you're say-
ing"—and mean it, ean be one of the most
useful techniques. .. . !ean pick up enough
information in a short period of time to be
abletobullshit my way with thebest ofthem,

Q What else makes you a good
interviewer?

A. There has to be, in any reporter, a
certain degree of irreverence. No reporter
can afford to be so awed by his subject
that he just takes everything and regurgi-
tates it to his readers and viewers. .. [For

, there is a kind of mutual consent that
takes place when people come on the
broadcast that permits me to rise above
my rank, In other words, it's not reporter
‘versus prime minister, It's someone who's
entitled to cut a prime minister off, and
1 think people can identify with that.

Q. How about the people who see some
dangers in journalists rising to that station

‘A. [ would urge them not to be too wor
ried. There is a Catch-22 element in a jour-
nalist’s power. The minute you begin to use
it to your own ends, you lose it. My power,
or my influence, rests on the public's per-
ception that [don’t abuseit..... Youhave to
be very careful not to cross these undefina-
ble lines of what isand is not appropriate. If
I'm just being argumentative—if every
night it becomes the “Ted Versus the World
Show"—that's not going to [work]

Q. Where did you learn to calibrate
like that?

‘A. The State Department. You cannot
spend nine years there without learning
something. You've got a bunch of enor-
mously bright men and women who work
there, and they are lly trained and
groomed over a number of years to use
language very precisely. When you're deal-
ing with these people, some of it rubs off.

On the set: Beware of ‘Ted Versus the World’

Q. What do you recommend to someone
coming out of college today who's interested
in journalism?

‘A. My 2l-year-old daughter decided
that she wants to get into this business, and
Tfind that Lam no more a gifted genius in
advising her than 1 am advising any other
kid who comes out of college. I don’t know |
what the answer is. The stock answer is,
“Young lady, you've got to leave town, go
to a small market, work your way uj
‘One reason { can't advise her much is that
that was the advice I got, and I chose to
ignore it. At one point early in my career, I |
was offered a job at ABC for double what I |
was earning at a small station, and I turned
it down because it wasn’t the job I'd ap- |
plied for. ... Now, would I advise all |
people to do that? No. If I had thought |
about it for a day or two I probably would
have taken the job. But whatever it was
that prompted me to turn it down, it was
the right instinet, because three days later
they called me ‘up and said, all right,
you've got the other job.

Q Are there too many people going into
journalism?

A. Too many, and far too many getting.
into it for the wrong reasons. If they really
want to become journalists, they should
contemplate the notion that they are not
going to make money, they are not going to
be well known and ifin that framework they
still see themselves as eager to work as
journalists, then they're probably right for
the job. Ifthat takes some of the excitement
away, then they're not well suited.

Q. Do you think it’s fair to say that
“Nightline” helped bring South Africa
higher on the national agenda?

‘A. think it’s fair tosay we had something
todo with it, But it would be equally fair to
say that it would still be on the front page if
we had never gone. . .. Having now been in
South Africa, having now talked to the
people there, [have a much different appre-
ciation of the story. In some respects I am
far more outraged about apartheid than I
was before I went. In other respects lam far
more willing to give Afrikaners a more than
one-dimensional look now. I don’t just see
them as a bunch of crazed Nazis rampaging
across the landscape of innocent life. It’s far
more complex than that. Would the same
thing have happened ifI'd goneto Germany
in 1936? I don’t know. Ina sense, I think the
answer has to be yes. I'm not really sure the
world is well served by reducing every vil-
lain to a one-dimensional character.

Q. But how could we possibly have gotten
prepared to fight World War Il had we come
to know the Nazis as human beings?

A. That sets up, in theory, the circum-
stances by which some American govern
‘ment could use that argument someday and
say, “Let us protect you from the insidious
effect of listening to these people, hearing
‘what they have to say, seeing them, judging
for yourself the value of their argument.”

Q. Why do you think Ronald Reagan isso

| popular on campus?

They see a man who appears to have
easy answers. You don’t have to think terri-
bly hard to accept a Reagan position be-
cause he really does reduce everything to a
lowest common denominator. I don’t mean
to be offensive to this generation, but I find
them very similar to my own when I was in
college {in the 1950s}, and that’s not a com-
pliment. 1 don’t think the antiapartheid
Movement on our campuses today com-
pares in any way to the real political act
ism of the 1960s and early *70s. These are
very polite political demonstrations, where,

often at its best when big news breaks during.

Kappa Alpha crash: A crackdown on fraternity parties that mix drinking and driving

The Price: Brain Damage and $21 Million

Kappa Alpha's “Old South” weekend
at the University of Texas is usually a
high-spirited celebration of the fraternity's
founding. But four years ago, the bibulous
party ended almost before it began, when a
pickup truck full of celebrants smashed into
4n apartment-building wall in Austin. One
of the riders, honor student Rusty Combes,
awoke from a long coma with brain damag
and partial paralysis, which has not been
conquered despite years of rehabilitation.

Y ow are a junior executive for a local restaurant chain and business is down. On a

advertising agency. When the conversation shifts to business, your new
acquaintance asks if your firm has ever considered advertising as a means of drumming
up new business, and suggests a dynamic campaign that could very well reverse the for-
tunes of your restaurant chain. When you return to work the following week, you talk to
your boss about a campaign based on your in-flight discussion; your copywriting friend,
in turn, relates your encounter to his boss. Eventually a deal is struck that is beneficial to
both companies, and to the careers of both you and the copywriter. That's networking.
‘After two years on the job as an electronics engineer, you decide to move on.
Through contacts you've made as a dues-paying member of a professional organiza-
tion—the Young Engineers Society, perhaps—you let the word out that you're looking
fora new job. After a few phone calts, a colleague at a competing electronics firm alerts
you to an opening with his company that might be right for you. That's networking,

novative approach and would love to learn more about it. He's flattered by your interest
and more than happy to offer additional insight. When your company introduces a

similar product line a few months later, you suggest a marketing strategy based on your

aa etworking is just another name
| for making friends," according
to author George Mazzei,
whose book, Moving Up: Digging In, Taking
Charge, Playing the Power Game and Learn-
ing to Like It, is widely regarded asa valuable
Quide to a climb up the corporate ladder.
“Networking is contacts building con-
tacts," observes Yippie-turned-Yuppie Jerry
Rubin, whose first Networking Salons helped,
in theory and practice, to pioneer the term.
“Networking is the chance event that will
transform your life,” he says. “It helps you
create your own accidents."

“Networking is getting yourself known
and getting to know people who are suc-
cessful in your field,” notes Karen Dowd,
director of placement at the University of
Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Bus-
iness. “It's exchanging information, exchang-
ing contacts, exchanging resources."”

“Networking is a miserable term,” ad-
mits Thomas Stanley, professor of marketing
at Georgia State University, “because it
doesn't really define what itis. It's really in-
fluence peddling to a large extent.”

‘Simply put, networking is a fancy term for
the aggressive, outgoing and entrepreneurial
spirit that's spreading through today’s
business world ike something of an epidemic.
It's getting out from behind your desk and
meeting people—trom inside your profession
and out. from inside your company and out

‘Special Advertsing Supptoment

—who can help you perform beyond expec-
tations on your current job or to look discreetly
for a second one. It's knowing where to look
for advice and career pointers from people
who've been where you are and have long
since arrived where you want to be. It's
establishing a reputation for yourself (what
kind of reputation you carry is up to you). I's
seeing and being seen, talking and being
heard, asking and being told.

FACT: As reported in the last installment of
The American Express Real Life Planner,
only 15 percent of all available jobs are ever
listed in the classified sections of your local
newspaper. Nearly 85 percent of all

ings, therefore, are filled behind the
scenes, by word of mouth. Networking is
your key behind the scenes. It's more than
likely you'll move on to your second job
through contacts made on your first. “In-
formation trom third parties and en-
dorsements from third parties are In many
cases more important than actual per-
formance," notes Georgia State Univer-
sity’s Stanley.

Of course, it's important that you put net-
working and the principles behind it in
perspective. Networking won't offer easy
answers as you embark on your career path,
‘nor wilt Serve as any sort of substitute for not
doing your job well. What it will dois help keep
your professional eyes and ears open to new
possibilities, while keeping the senses of your
Colleagues tuned in to your performance.

“You have to know what's going on in
your field, and networking is a great way todo
that,” claims Mazzei. “Ittelis you who you are,
what you're worth, where you should be,
‘whether you're falling behind. Networking tells
you when it’s ime to. go for more money, and
if you can't get it from your own company
you'll find out where you can get it.”

In.an age when sophisticated travel and
telecommunications technologies have made
the world we live in seem smaller than ever
before, everyone for the first time is accessi-
ble to everyone else. it has been speculated
that any two people in this country can be con-
ected to each other by a series of no more
than six contacts. An accountant in Phoenix
and a nightclub owner in Ft. Lauderdale, for
example, might each have a friend who at-
tended the University of Kentucky at the same
time. Their friends, perhaps, had a mutual ac-
quaintance at Kentucky and that person
stands as the link between the accountant and
the nightclub owner, a network made up of on-
ly three contacts.

‘The time has indeed come to expand the
old dictum, “it's not what you know, but who
you know that counts," in favor of a more
modern version: today's yardstick is what you
know and who you know—and who will return
your phone cails

“You won't float to the top on merit
alone," claims Mazzei. “What it boils down to
is people, and networking enables you to get
the chemistry going.”

‘As Karen Dowd also points out, “Net

working helps you to learn about your field a
lot quicker because you actually meet the
movers and shakers in your area. The more
contacts you generate with people who are
successful, and the people who are known,
then the better off you are.

“You get to be a part of the profession in-
stead of just someone who happens to pick up
a paycheck. It helps you to learn the lingo, to
learn what's expected of you. Just by being
around people who are successful helps you
Jearn about available resources that you other-
wise wouldn't have heard of.”

Alllof this, you'll notice, is nothing really
new. “Networking has been around for a long
time," agrees Stanley. “Now, some people
have commercialized it by writing about it and
doing seminars and all, but many of the pro-
fessions have had networking for ages—doc-
tors, dentists, attorneys, accountants."

The old boys’ networks of our parents’
generation have given way toa new breed of

aggressive and hungry young professionals,
determined to call upon al viable resources to
help assure success. “When | first started my
networking salons a few years ago, | tried to
think of what to call them,”" remembers Rubin.

I thought to myself, Alli'm doing is introduc-
ing my network of friends and contacts to the.
other people's friends and contacts. That's
networking, that's all itis."""

“Networking diminishes your reliance on
luck,” claims Mazzei. “A lot of people do luck
ut, there's no doubt about it. But if you know
alot more people, you know of a lot of oppor-
tunities. You know of a lot more right-places-
at-the-rightsimes, and that diminishes the luck
aspect and puts it onto your ability to go after
ittand get it.”

“Networking is putting yourselt in the
‘ight place at the right time,” echoes Rubin,
and that about says it all. Read on to ensure
that when the right times come along in your
career, the right places will be right under
your feet

‘Special Advertsing Suppiomer

Says

HOW TO
NETWORK

here are as many different ways to net-

‘work as there are college students who

graduate, and it's up to you to deter-
mine the approach that's right for you. you're
the open and aggressive sort, your methods
will probably reflect your personality. You'll be
‘outgoing and initiate contacts faster than you
can say, “Hello, my name is. .." If you tend
toward the shy and reserved type, you'll ob-
viously be more passive in your efforts and
leave the initiation of contacts to some-
one else.

“The social skills in networking are im-
portant,” says the University of Virginia's
Dowd, ‘and they're the same social skills you
would use to make a friend.”

“In order to be a successful networker,"*
advises Jerry Rubin, “'you'llhave to show non-
stop assertiveness in a classy and charming
way." Non-stop assertiveness in a classy and
charming way? "I know it sounds like a
strange combination," admits Rubin, “but you
have to be persistent without appearing
pushy. You might turn some people off if
you're too aggressive.”

This sounds great, but where do you
start? Well, the easiest networking tool is right
at your fingertips: “The telephone is a wonder-
ful instrument for networking," says George
Mazzei, “You can talk to people in Alaska,
California, Michigan, Seattle, anywhere, and
find out what's going on. And sometimes peo:
ple in Seattie will know about a job opportunity
in your own town that you may not have
known about, just because you don’t have
time to sift through job opportunities when
you're working,”

Okay, now put the phone down and try
your luck at the art of one-to-one networking,
“There's nothing wrong with someone just
starting to network, saying, ‘I'm new at this
and | want to learn more,'"" suggests Dowd.
“You can start with someone a level up from
you at work—and at that point you don't have
Much to trade, that's true, except a wilingness
to learn, which can always excite people. It
helps the other person to feel that he can
teach somebody. People love to talk about

their jobs, about how they got started, what
they learned, and that in itself can be a big
help to somebody just starting out.”

Most campuses offer career listings of
alumni to soon-to-be graduates, encouraging
students to contact alumniin their fields of
terest for informational interviews. “Almost all
of our alumni will talk to a student or recent
Graduate in their field,” notes Paula Jones of
the University of Texas’ Career Placement OF-
fice. “We just tell the students to call them
up—or write them—and say, 'Ijust graduated
and I'm interested in learning about how
another graduate made it.”

If you adopt the basic principle of
networking—that every person you meet
becomes a valuable resource to you and that
you can become a valuable resource to him or
her—you'll quickly see the broad range of op-
portunities networking provides. The cons-
Cientious networker, always on the lookout for

new contacts, will never let a networking op-
portunity pass him by, whether it's on an
airplane, at a business conference or at the
family holiday table.

Of course, some are so smitten by the
networking bug that their on-the-job pertor-
mance begins to suffer. Almost every office
has at least one employee who spends more
time worrying about what's going on outside
the office—what jobs are opening up in the in-
dustry, the number of names on his/her
Rolodex—that the real work just doesn't seem
to get done. This is networking gone over-
board, also known in some circles as “not-
working.” Be advised: networking is no
answer for “notworking.

Inhis research, Georgia State Universi-
'y's Stanley has studied the characteristics
‘common among successful businessmen
and -women: "t's very important for young
workers today to understand that most million-
aires—especially self-made millionaires—are
extroverted and very personable people,
Stanley says, “Unfortunately, much of the col
lege education doesn't reflect that.”

Stanley advises recent graduates to get
their training, in their profession and in
social/networking skills, in a small town en-
vironment. “The small town is a marvelous
place to train for the real world,” he offers,
“People there understand, naturally, the im-
portance of networking, of trading favors,
because they know each other; they know
they need each other to make the system
work. Unfortunately, in big cities it’s much
more impersonal and you don’t get sociable
enough to be able to network

“One of the best things to do,” coaches
Dowd, "is to join a professional association

related to your field and volunteer your time.
You meet these people not on networking
pretenses, but on the pretense of getting to
know the field. There's an association for
‘every job under the sun, and those people are
the ones from whom you're going to find out
how they got started in the field, and how they
can be of help to you and how you can be of
help to them.”

“One of the best ways to getinvolved ina
new community and get toknow people,” ad-
vises Lynette Murphy of the Denver Chamber
of Commerce, “is to volunteer in some kindof
organization like United Way or Big Brothers or
Big Sisters. It's a great way to meet leading
members of the community.”

Jerry Rubin has gained national attention
for his planned New York City networking
events, and he has counterparts in other
areas of the country who offer serious net-
workers a structured environment for the pad-
ding of Rolodexes. "What | do is provide an
arena for networking,” Rubin explains. "'I lay
the groundwork, but it's up to everyone else
to do their own part.

According to Bob Paterson of the New
York Chamber of Commerce office, most of
the country's 1500 Chambers of Commerce
offer some form of business card exchange,
or “tip party,” to allow members to meet other
members outside their immediate fields of in-
terest. “Our mission is to help members pros-
per," he says of the after-hours get-togethers
his office sponsors once a month. "We felt
one of the best ways was to provide a setting
where members can get together comfortably
and do business."

The Denver Chamber of Commerce,
under Murphy's direction, sponsors a pro-
gram called “Business After Hours,” which
she says provides a “non-formal atmosphere
togetto know people, a good way for a young
worker to meet someone way up the ladder at
another company in the same field.”

‘Special Advertsing Supplement

“There have been a lot of success
stories,” Murphy reports. “At a recent
Business After Hours there was an account
ant who set up a new relationship with a
banker. | came up at the end of their conver-
sation and they were really excited they had
‘met. Most people do come away with a suc-
cessful contact, if they can get out and mingle
and shake a few hands and smile."

Another advocate of Rubin's networking
efforts is Harold Rand, vice president/director
of marketing at Kaufman-Astoria Studios in
Queens, New York: “What networking en-
abled me todowas to meet some very influen-
tial people in a social atmosphere under less
formal circumstances, and they were people
I might not have ordinarily met during the
business day," he says. ‘'I was able to slice
through the traditional bureaucracy of
brokerage houses and investment banking
firms, and meet directly with the people who
make the decisions.”

CASEIN POINT

Jack Hitt, 28, will have his first book
‘published (in the spring of 1987) by Houghton,
Mifin/American Heritage Books. Four years
ago, a graduate of the University of the South
in Sewanee, Tennessee, he was a struggling
free-lance writer, eaming a living with assorted
‘assignments from bases in Oregon and Spain.
How he got here from there is @ lesson in
networking.

First, Hitt enrolled in Columbia University's
‘School of Journalism, and there he met former
CBS News President Fred Friendly, a member
of the faculty. By the time he earned his
master's degree, Hitt found himself working
for Friendly's Media and Society organiza-
tion, producing seminars and television
documentaries.

Through his job at Media and Society he
‘met Harvard Law School student Joan Greco,
and the two struck a professional friendship.
Together they schemed up a proposal for a
‘book on the history of the United States Con:
sitution, aimed to te in with its 200th anniver-
sary (in 1987).

Though Hitt met his future iterary agentat
aparty, he is quick to point out that his success
is not just a case of knowing the right people.
“To think that that cocktail party, that hand-
‘shake, is what produced the book contract is
laughably ridiculous," he now says. instead, he
credits meeting his agent as the impetus
(“knowing that we had a hangnail of a toe in
the door”) fo pursue the project in eamest.

“To attribute any success singularly to
networking is looking at it the wrong way,’ he
now says. “Knowing people is not singularly
responsible lor getting something accomplish
‘ed. There's got fo be some talent there.”

After fine-tuning their proposal, beefing up

Stanley. “But the secret of networking and in-

‘Those kinds of people—with enthusiasm and

HOW TO
NETWORK YOUR
WAY TO A
SECOND JOB

most everyone who's ever been in
A the job market will ll you's easier to
look for a job when you're employed
than when you're out of work, "You can't deny
that you're ina much better position to find
another job if you don't need one,” argues
author George Mazzei. “if you're already
working in a job, you're considered ‘inthe in-
dustry.’ People feel much more comfortable
abou! helping somebody who is really not
desperate. I's a psychological thing—people
don't like to identify with people who are
unemployed.”
“When you're working you're viewed as
a winner, and when you're unemployed
you're viewed as a failure,” agrees the Univer-

‘Special Advertsing Supploment

sity of Virginia's Karen Dowd. "When you're
unemployed the first assumption is, whether
it's true or not, that there's something wrong
with you."*

When using your networking skills and
contacts to help facilitate a career move, there
are a few rules of the road you should follow:
* Don't start looking for a new job the day you

need one; you will need to build a strong and
viable network of contacts before you can
call on anyone for job tips or recommenda-
tions. Start off by helping out as many peo-
pleas you can (whether by introducing them
to new contacts, or by extending yourself
‘on your job to make their jobs easier), and

build a network of contacts who “owe you
one.” Don't call in favors before you've
‘earned them.

* Don't actively look for your next job. The
best advertisement for your professional self
isa dedicated and loyal track record in your
present position. It's usually a good idea to
Slay on your first job for two years or so
before entertaining the notion of moving on.

* Establish a good, solid reputation with your
‘current employer. You'll be surprised at how
‘small certain industries can become, and at
how easily a bad rap can follow you around.
Be honest and credible in al of your profes-
sional dealings.

* Develop good contacts with your cohorts—
peers, at your level, at competing firms—
{and call on them to scout job prospects from
their perspective. Many times a job that's
‘ot right for them will be perfect for you.

‘+ Never bad-mouth your current job or boss.
You don’t want to come across as a dis-
‘gruntled employee; better to say that you
See your current job as a stepping stone,
or that you feel it’s time to move in new
directions.

* Try not to take too much credit for a high-
Profile project you were involved in, You
don't want to be too modest—you are, after
all, selling yourselt—but you don't want to
Undermine the efforts of your superiors,
either, Try to find something positive to say
about your boss's contribution to the proj-
‘ect—'"it was his vision that made it all possi-
ble'—while at the same time stressing your
instrumental role in its success,

* Use your network to help in assessing
whatever job offers you do receive. Often, a
firm could have a certain reputation (they
don't promote from within; they're trimming
back in some areas) you'll want to steer
Clear of. Ask around and you might turn up

CASEIN POINT

Asa senior at St. Mary's Collage in Notre
Dame, Indiana, Joan Grabowski couldn't
decide whether fo pursue a career in music
(her major or business (her minor), so she tum-
‘2d to networking to help with her decision and
Contacted several successful members of the
South Bend, indiana, business and fine arts
‘communities for informational interviews.

One of the people she approached was
the manager of the South Bend Symphony:
““We had an excellent talk,” Grabowski, now
26, remembers. "I said, ‘Goodbye, thank you,
| enjoyed talking to you, have @ good life.’ |
never planned on seeing her again.”

Nevertheless, Grabowski followed up this
‘meeting, as she did most of her networking ef-
forts, by sending a note of thanks, along with
a copy of her resume. Eight months late, just
before graduation, the manager called and of-
fered Grabowski the job of assistant manager,

an annual budget of $500,000. She

|) jumped at the chance.

“The fact that I met her the first time under
the conditions of an informational interview,
that it was kind of networking—I was just try-
ing to figure out what was going to do with my

i} life—helped me to get the job later," assesses

Grabowski. “By coming to her early, and just
expressing my interest, she must have sensed
that I was interested in making a serious com-
mitment to the field, and not that | was just a
recent graduate who wanted a job.

“Jam a great advocate of telling people to
‘do just what I did, just to do informational inter-
views. Be open-minded and try to find out as
‘much information as you can. ee myex-
‘perience that when you do that ‘are very
attered, and they're more than happy to tell
you how they got started. People like talking
about themselves and you should approach

3 people with that in mind.”

Alter two years with the South Bend Sym-
‘phony, Grabowski decided it was time to move
‘on. This time, she called on her job contacts for
help in making the move. As an active member
of various professional organizations, which
she joined at her own expense, Grabowsk!
drew upon her list of professional contacts to
restart the informational interview process that
hhad won her first job.

“1 was very bold about it,"’ she now
remembers. "called people in high positions,
people in major symphony orchestras whom
Thad met however casually, and just called
them up and said, ‘Hi, | admire you, you've
‘been an inspiration to me; would you have the
time to sit down and talk tome?’ And in every
case they were just so pleased that | had call-
‘ed them up.”

Grabowski's networking efforts soon paid
off—she was referred to the manager of the
symphony orchestra in Fort Worth, Texas,
Which led to a job there as executive assistant
‘manager, overseeing a budget this time of
close fo $3 million.

“had learned through my first round of
networking that music was where | wanted to
be," she reflects. "And I learned through my
second round that there were lots of oppor-
tunities for someone like me, and that |had ex-
cellent qualifications and, with ime, excellent
contacts."

“You have fo be sincere, you have to
believe in what you're doing, and you have to
‘be assertive. | would relate networking to sales.
You really have to sell yourself, and you have
tobe willing to take risks. No matter how flim-
‘sy you think your contacts might be, you have
‘even the weakest contact with the CEO at your
local major industry, call him up. The worst that
‘can happen is that he or she is going to say,
“No, I don’t have time to see you, but why don't
you try so and so.’ "*

ca's 80 other historically black

The founders, Northern white aboli
ists who converted an old plantation into a
campus for freedmen in 1869, would be
baffied by that reaction. Change and ¢

flict have always been part of Tougaloo's
history, especially during the turbulent civ-
il-rights struggles of the 1950s and ‘60s,
when the school produced Mississippi's
first chapter of the NAACP and its first sit-

in, Tougaloo welcomed speakers who could
nd no other soapbox in the state, like Mar-
n Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy and
jokely Carmichael. And all the while,
Tougaloo was educating people. Although
its campus, on the northern outskirts of
jackson, is an architectural jumble of ante-
bellum and postwar ugly, the school once
boasted more Harvard Ph.D.'s on its staff
than any other Mississippi college. And
although it has passed much of
principally a teachers college, Tou
also produced 40 percent of Mis

| black doctors, lawyers and dentists.

The school's major probl
mon to private nerally and to
its fellow members of the United Negro
College Fund in particular: money. Touga-
loo’s endowmer $2.5 million, and it
is $2.3 million in debt. “It would not be fair
to say that the 43 UNCF schools struggle

more than other private schools,” main-
tains Elias Blake (no relation to Herman
Blake), president of Atlanta's. respected
Clark College, but UNCF president Chris-
topher Edley does admit that “it costs a
great deal more to run a campus where 90
percent [of the students} receive financial
aid.” The UNCF schools (the other 35 his-
torically black colleges in the nation
public) also lack the rich alumni and poli
cal clout that bring major support to many
institutions. The result, explains Edley, is
that “faculty salaries are lower, tuition
lower, belt tightening is stricter and the
buildings are allowed to depreciate a littl
more, all to make up for the lack of fund:
Tougaloo feels the money crunch keenly.
The average full professor earns only
$20,500 a year, student-support services

fueled by the support of the Jackson con

unity, which once wanted nothing to do

area," says Paul Latture Jr., executive vice
president of the Jackson Chamber of C
merce. Alvis Hunt, president of the First
National Bank of Jackson, puts that friend-
ly assessment in historical perspectiv
“Ten years ago, if'we'd asked someone for

The real bombshell c:

crete meaning behind these

abstract words is that the “black school"

“We're not tilking about making this a

‘white’ institution,” insists Blake. “We're
talking about elevating it beyond race.” But
Tougaloo is not Oakes, and many of the
students and faculty have no desire to be |
“elevated.” Many also disagree with
Blake's choice of white administrative ap-
Pointees—even though the school did not
even havea black president until 1966. “We
don’t want Tougaloo to be a place run by |
whites," says the disenchanted Esters,
Despite the storm, Blake's allies are firm.
Judge Reuben Anderson, a 1964 graduate of
Tougaloo and the first black 10 serve on
ississippi’s Supreme Court, isamember of
the board of trustees who shares Blake's |
vision. “For Tougaloo to survive,” Ander- |

the school’s new direction. Says Tougaloo

Herman Blake's academic reputation is |

James Coleman, a 1961 graduate who is

impressive, but I've got to see dividends.”

by the quality of his graduates. As Elias |
Blake of Clark College says: “What's your

trouble.

Herman Blake is confident of success—

be

innacence, of Upper Lowa’s recruiting ploy
was even more startling.

Nestled amid lush limestone hills that
fend off the cornfields, Upper Iowa has a
history of tackling its problems he:

The nation’s Panic of 1857 severely threat-
ened the tiny college in its first months; to
survive, administrators aecepted such prac-
tical forms of tuition as hay, wood and
turnips. Fickert, at 35 a tough fireplug who
has resuscitated three other college football
programs, felt a different kind of panic after
his appointment as athletic director and
head football couch last March. Only 14
Peacocks would return from a team that
went 1-9 last year, and little fresh recruiting
hhad been done. A quipabout advertising for

players drew laughs at a coaches’ meeting,
but soon Fickert was calling the NCAA,
where a perplexed official said she could
find no rule barring such a scheme.
Fickert then cleared the idea with new
university president James Rocheleau, an
admirer of shrewd marketing techniques
since his days as a Nabisco cracker sales-

inan, Rochelean viewed the advertising as a
way to attract nontraditional students who
had delayed their college entrance for work
or other reasons. And an improved football
program, he reasoned, might also help re-
vive moribund college enrollment (1,227
students, 335 of whom live on campus).

There isa “Dirty Dozen” quality to Fick-
ert’s new troops. Some had somnolent aca~
demic careers in high school; others played
behind stars recruited by major NCAA
teams and therefore got little exposure; still
others didn't know they wanted a college
education until they tried tosurvive without
‘one. The players that eventually arrived on
campus had one significant thing
in common: they thought they
could at least meet Upper lowa’s
admissions standards.

Many of these new students
have something to prove. “We're
going to get some respect for Up-
per Towa—and for ourselves,”
says John Goldwire, a beefy line-
backer from West Palm Beach,

Fla. The priceis high: annual costs
approach $8,000, and the school | |
can extend financial aid only to
those who meet tests of scholar-

ship and need. But many players

are thrilled simply to have some-

one believe in them. Says tackle
James Joe Rock) Holman, a Chicago con-
struction worker in the two years since he
finished high school, “A lot of us see this as
our one real chance.

The ad brought in so many players that
Fickert had to delay distribution of helmets
until a few recruits—including a half dozen
too tiny for even small-college football—
weeded themselves out. Fickert made cer-
tain that each one had an opportunity to
compete. “I’m not running a butcher shop,”
hestid one day as the squad trimmed down

a more manageable 68 players. To help
reorits adjust, Pckert and his taf moved
into their dorm for 10 days. “They work us

the old-timers, it was better than the game

nobody getting down on us. They make us
feel like we're All-Am

There also has been little tolerance of
tomfoolery, as the fun-loving but not terri-
bly dedicated athletes in the group soon
discovered. The first brutal practice ses-
sions, for which playe:s donned jerseys la-
beled Poise and Pride and shoris initialed
PMA (for Positive Mental Attitude),
showed that Fick :t meant business. Play-
ers responded;

drills with throaty chants of “Pea-COCKS!
Pea-COCKS!" A few even spoke gamely of
their hope that their Upper Iowa careers
would open other doors. Few Wau.2r Mittys
become Walter Paytons, but in small-col-
lege football there is always that gossamer
possibility; after all, Upper Iowa's own
Mike Bischeid played in three Super Bowls.
F livened spirits throughout Fayette,
the tiny (population: 1,500) college
town that hopes Fickert can breathe some
honesty into the vaunted varsity cheer:
“Smash ‘em, bust ‘em, that’s our cus-
tom..." The coffee crowd at Lucy's Gar-
den of Eatin’ already is whispering about a
return to the haleyon days of the late John
Dorman, the town dentist who coached
Peacock football for 50 years. Fickert’s un-
orthodox recruiting thrills Oren (Swede) |

‘Coach Fickert, who keeps copies of
“Patton” and “In Search of Excellence”
alongside his football books and Knute
Rockne poster, has his own role
Iowa in perspective. “We went looking for

years and also participate in a sport they

in a bunch of yee-haws who couldn’t han-
dle academics.” Besides, most yee-haws
probably would shun Upper Iowa for its
rural remoteness; regional attractions
range from Indian burial mounds to the
original Little Brown Church in the Vale.
Fickert cheerily views such an environ-
ment as being “free of distractions.” And
one of his recruits confided early on that
the fresh air contrasted with his native
New Jersey, where fumes from a candy
plant occasionally made him upchuck dur-
ing football practice.

Still unresolved is the question of how
Fickert’s largely urban imports
will fare in small-town Iowa. But
Upper Iowa has faced that dilem-
ma with generations of students,
“We thought people might be
cynical about city guys coming
here because of an ad in the pa-
per,” says Henehan, “Instead
they've done everything they can
to welcome us.” And what of
those who enrolled but can't play
football very well? “I don’t care,”
says Fickert. “Above all, I hope
they stay in school, If they're here
a day or a year or four years,
they'll be that much richer for the
experienc

President Rocheleau, who has increased
total enrollment by 500 since his arrival a
year ago, is so pleased with the football ad
fallout that he’s pondering similar lures for
nonathletes (“Wanted: Computer Science
Students . .."). The ploy, however, has ap=
parently not won universal admiration in
higher education. “I'm not getting a lot of
calls of congratulations from other college
presidents,” Rocheleau says with achuckle,
And there may be problems if Upper lowa
tries a sports ad again. John Leavens, the
NCAA's director of legislative services,
now says a closer reading of the rule book
suggests that such tactics may well be
improper. Such purified persnicketiness
would amaze Doc Dorman, who for years
routinely cosigned loans at a local bank so
his players could afford schooling,

Coach Fickert has more plans. For one
thing, he is trying to convince administra-

| tors that the Peacocks’ image would profit if

the mascot on school pennants had a little
less plumage and a little more ferocity. And

TV news broadcast each
evening.

The problem—and |
know the frustration of it’
firsthand—is that unless fy
something really special
happens, we in TV news \v
have to put severe time se
limitations on every story,
even the most complicated and
important ones.

Get more than headlines

So what we bring you is primarily
a front-page headline service. To get
all you need to know, you have to
flesh out those headlines with a com-
plete account of the news from a well-
edited and thorough newspaper.

Is it really necessary to get the
whole story? Dorothy Greene
Friendly put it this way: “What the
American people dont know can
kill them.” Amen.

News people have a tespon-
sibility. And so do you. Ours is to
report the news fairly, accurately,
completely. Yours is to keep yourself
informed every day.

I'll never forget the quotation
hanging in Edward R. Murrow’:
CBS office. It was from Thoreau:
“Ic takes two to speak the truth —

get there quickly enough. First |

go back for the whole feast.

The way the front page is
“made up” tells you plenty. For one
thing, headline type size will tell
you how the paper’ editor ranks
the stories on relative importance.
A major crop failure in Russia
should get larger type than an over
turned truckload of wheat on the
Interstate, for example.

Which is the main story?

Youll find the main ot lead story
in the farthest upper right-hand col-
urn. Why? Tradition, Newspapers
used to appear on newsstands
foided und depkved wih thee top
right-hand quarter showing. They
made up the front page with the
lead story there to entice readers.

You'll find the second most
important story at the top far

left, unless it’ related to
the lead story. Do you
have to read all the stories
in the paper? Gosh, no.
But you should check
them all. Maybe the one
that appears at first to be
the least appealing will be
the one that will most
affect your life.

News is information,

period

‘A good newspaper pro-
vides four basic ingredients
to help you wrap your
mind around the news:
information, background,
analysis and interpretation.

Rule #1 of American
journalism is: “News columns
are reserved only for news.”
What is news? It is informa-
tion only. You can tell a good news-
paper story. It just reports the news.
Itdoesnt try to slant it. And it
gives you both sides of the story.

Look out for a lot of adjectives
and adverbs. They dont belong in
an objective news story. They tend
to color and slant it so you may
come to a wrong conclusion.

Do look for by-lines, datelines
and the news service sources of
articles. These will also help-you
judge a story’ importance and its
facts.

As you read a story you can
weigh its truthfulness by asking
yourself, “Who said so?” Look out
for “facts” that come from unnamed
sources, such as “a highly placed
government official.” This could tip
you off that the story is not quite
true, or that someone — usually in
Washington — is sending up a “trial
balloon” to see if something that
may happen or be proposed gets a
good reception.

Another tip: Check for “Cor-
rections” items. A good newspaper
will straighten out false or wrong
information as soon as it discovers

its error. A less conscientious one
jwili let it slide or bury it.

An upside-down pyramid

Reporters write news stories in
ja special way called the “inverted
pyramid” style. That means they
start with the end, the climax of the
tory, with the most important facts
first, then build in more details in
jorder of importance. This is unlike
the telling or writing of most sto-
ies, where you usually start at the
beginning and save the climax for

‘A well-reported story will tell
you “who,” “what, i.
ere" and “how." The best news-
apers will go on to tell you “why.”
H\Vhy” is often missing. And that
may be the key ingredient.

Many important stories are
lanked by “sidebars.” These are
upporting stories that offer, not
hews, but the “why” — background
ind analysis — to help you under-
tand and evaluate it.

Background offers helpful facts.

No good newspaper will mix

either. Interpretation goes beyond

clearly labeled, or at best, reserved
for the editorial page or “op-ed”
(opposite the editorial) page.

Form your own opinion first

them do your thinking for you.

Here’ an idea I firmly believe
in and act on. When you read
something that motivates you, do
something about it. Learn more
about it. Join a cause. Write a let-
ter. You can constantly vote on

issues by writing letters, particularly
to your Congressman or state or
local representative.

To undermand the news better
you can also read news magazines.
Books help fill in the holes, too.
During the Vietnam war, for exam-
ple, many people felt that the daily
news coverage wasn't entirely satis-
factory. The truth is, you could
have gotten many important new
facts on the war from the books
coming out at the time.

Pick a TV story and follow it

Now that I've told you about
the basics of getting under the skin
of a newspaper, let newspapers get
under your skin.

Tonight, pick an important sto-
ry that interests you on the
news. Dig into the story—in your
newspaper. Follow it, and continue
to follow it closely in print. See if
you dont find yourself with far more
understanding of the event.

And see if you don't have a far
more sensible opinion as to the
“whys” and “wherefores” of that
event, even down to how it will
affect you—and maybe even what
should be done about it.

up with the news the way
ues and I do—on TV
and in the newspapers.

Learn to sift it for yourself, to
heft it, to value it, to question it, to
ask for it all. You'll be in better con-
trol of your life and your fortunes.

And that’ the way it is.

Today, the printed word is more vital than ever. Now there is
more need than ever for all of us to read better, write better and

communicate better.

Georgia on his mind: Cain Tiss or chew on what writing might be’

The Blount Truths

oy Blount Jr. is one of the funniest men in America, and he
proves it every time he writes. But ask him to assess what he
does, and he begins to squirm. His face gets wrinkly, And you can
almost detect a little whine in his rich Georgia drawl. Then he
remembers a Chekhov story he read just a couple of days ago: “It
bespake a proverb—'My elbow is near but I cannot kiss it.’ Well, I
certainly cain't kiss or chew on whatever my writing might be.”
In other words, Roy Blount Jr. is too close to what he writes to
analyze it, Truth be told, he pretty much is what he writes, or, at
least, what he writes is what he thinks. His subjects are his interests
and obsessions; his style is as natural as the way he talks. Over the
course of five books, including the brand-new anthology “Not
Exactly What { Had in Mind” (The Atlantic Monthly Press, $14.95),
Blount has bespoken uncommon common sense with an earthy,
mischievous tang. His reputation is such that people compare him
with the likes of H. L. Mencken and W. C. Fields. Some folks have
even put him in the Curmudgeon Hall of Fame next to Mark Twain
Like his idols Twain, Robert Benchley and James Thurber,
Blount started out in journalism. After earning degrees in English
from Vanderbilt (B.A.) and Harvard (M.A.) and serving in the
Army for two years, he worked for the Atlanta Journal from 1966
to 1968, He then made the jump into magazine journalism,
‘spending seven years at Sports Illustrated before plunging into the
free-lance world. He has since written for an astonishing array of
publications—Cosmopolitan, Eastern Airlines Pastime, The New
Yorker and GQ, to name a small fraction. At 44, he now lives in
Massachusetts with his second wife, his high-school-senior son (a

daughter attends Stanford), two dogs, two cats and two chickens.
He had to give away the rooster because it wouldn’t let him out of
the house.

“I've always wanted to get to the point where people wanted me
to write the way I wanted to write,” says Blount. “It took a long
time.” But now magazines like GQ come sniffing at him all the time
withstory ideas that hecan takeorleave. Ifhecomes up with an idea
his own self, The Atlantic is dying to hear about it. Asked on the
spot, Blount cannot think of something he couldn't, or wouldn't,
write about: “People will call me up and say, ‘Do something about
testicles,’and I'llstart collectingarticles.” A tirelessclipper, Blount
will sometimes save up stuff while waiting for the chance to write
about a particular subject. He has had files on Juniors, for an
obvious reason, as well as on Hands, Hats and Hopelessness.

YW izes interests? You bet, Just check out his new book. It
contains tips on how to get into a fancy restaurant (becoming
the chef and dressing like Michael Jackson, to name two), some
wicked observations on our current president (“Ronald Reagan is
the most widely beloved American since Bambi, and I have trouble
believing he exists") and a definitive list of what makes a woman
sexy (No. 35:""One of those T-shirts with the big, big armholes. You
know what I mean? You keep hoping the flag will come along and
she'll salute. Of course I realize that from a respect-for-women
point of view those hirtsare worn only for purposes of mobility and
air-conditioning. Uh-huh.”

“Not Exactly What I Had in Mind,” like his last three books,
combines outright humor, anti-self-help articles, sardonic com:
mentary and irregular journalism. Despite the diversity of this
material, the book holds together because of Blount’s intelligence
and purpose. Not that he thinks in straight lines; he once described
himself as a person who is “confused but {has} visionary flashes
occasionally.” But you always know what he’s up/o, and you havea
good time, and you learn something. Besides, Roy Blount Jr.
doesn't believe things to be straight and conventional: "The truth is
that things don’t haveto obey certain laws, Not only don't they have
to, even if they had to, they wouldn't.

the explanation for the delay is

“I've been touring or produc:

White, “it’s been wonderful to

much of a departure from the
propulsive mix of funk, Latin
and gospel that earned EW&F

In the “civilized” world, riv-

mobiles, trains and airplanes,

primary avenues of transport
nor dictate the centers of popu-

anyone over 30," until you turned 30 your-

you find somewhere better to hang out.)
So now, manufacturers are target

your every whim. Hollywood has given you
“The Big Chill," which is just your way of
reminding the rest of us that you're better
than the old people (because you're young)
but better than the young people (because
you're grown-up). You're walking a tight-

The problem is that you, in your own
endless search to stay young, keep stealing
the grail out of our hands as soon as we find
it. You of all people should know, for
example, that nothing is more boring
thana parent, and when our parents like
the same things we do, we have to find
something else. Because of you, noth-

tostay young, there's nothing left for us
to be. And it follows that there is no
way, within logical extremes, for to-

NUMBER 32

Committee report strongly rejects dry campus

By James O'Sullivan
NEWS EDITOR

Students will be able to drink alcoholic
beverages on campus if they are of legal
drinking age after December 1, at least if
the recommendations of the ‘Implementa-
tion of 21°* Committee hold any weight in
the matter.

The committee voted unanimously, zero
to ten, against making the University a
“dry” campus, according to the final
report of the group.

The report was made public by Student
Association President Steve Gawley Mon-
day . Officially, however, the report can be
released only by Vice President for Student
Affairs Frank Pogue, who is out of town
for the week.

A dry campus, reads the report, is an ap-
proach to the increase in alcohol purchase
age that ‘tis shallow, and doomed to
failure as it is fundamentally
unenforceable.

Instead, the committee recommended a
“developmental approach to deal with
alcohol consumption’ that includes
education and identifying drinking pat-
tens among SUNYA students,

The recommendation how goes to
Pogue who can use it at will. On
November 7 the University Council is ex-
pected to vote om an official new alcohol
policy,

report,’” sald SA -Vice “President Ross

“Everybody on the
comunittee realized
that a dry campus is
totally

Abelow, who explained that the report
found @ middle ground between those ad-
vocating-a~completely dry campus and
people pushing for as liberal a policy as
posaible.

“Everybody on the committee realized
that a drycampus is. totally unen-
forceable,”” he added,

“t's a 21 purchase age,-not a drinking
law — so anyone who is under 21 and
drinking. is not breaking the law,"” he
stated.

“Abelow added that a Change fro1
21 requires much overhaul ‘or pus.
‘SIt's one of the toughest things to deal

with on a college campus,” he said, ex-
plaining, ‘you have to change mentalities,
six years from now you won't have a
problem."*

Committee chair Jim Doellefeld, direc-
tor of the Office of Campus Life, said
Pogue will meet with the group on October
31 to thank the members for their work.

The: committee met about 15 times,
Doellefeld said, for a total of more than 25
hours. ‘I think that that document deals
with all of the major issues’’ the task force
discussed, he added.

However, according to Gawley, the
committee did not fully address the issue

“1 think the SASU family is the best
family in the world,” said Libby Post,
who worked with SASU in 1977 as Media
Director.

15. years ago, students from several
SUNY campuses decided to unite to in-
crease their power and representation. To-
day, SASU plays a significant role in in-
volving students in the decision-making
processes of New York State.

A key figure in the founding of SASU
was Ray Glass, who was killed by a
drunken driver in October 1975. Many
former members of SASU remembered

Danny Kohane, who was President of
SASU from 1974-1975, described Glass as
dedicated, committed, and intense. In
February of 1972, SASU held their first
conference, and, remembered Kohane,
“Ray kept us locked in a hotel room for

SASU legislative Director who now works
with Americans for Democratic Action, a

of bulk containers: kegs and beer balls, in
the report.

‘The report says the committee voted 8-2
to permit single beer balls in suites, but
tied 5-5 on the issues of two beer balls or a
quarter-keg. And the committee voted
against allowing half-kegs in dorms by 4-6.

‘There's no logic to voting 8-2 to permit
a beer ball and voting against a keg,”
Gawley stated, adding ‘it’s more of a con-
cern for overcompensation.”*

“A ban on a half-keg as opposed to a
quarter-keg as opposed to a beer ball is a
symbolic way of saying “we're concern-
ed” about excess drinking, said Gawley,

Gawley added that kegs should be allow-
ed because it is easier to judge how much a
person has drunk from a keg than in shots
of hard liquor or from mixed drinks.
“They're trying to make a symbolic state-
ment,"” he reiterated.

‘All this is preliminary,” however, said
Gawley, because Pogue can make any
recommendation he desires to University
Council, “I would say Vice President
Pogue is going to take to University Coun-
cil as reasonable a policy as he can," he
added,

“If you read the first page of the report
you got the feeling that it's in favor of a
Teasonable alcohol policy,” Gawley said,
referring to the recommendation,

“What we advocated against was having
the word ‘no’ in the policy,” headded, C)

Educators hail
Higher Ed. Act
as milestone

Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The biggest
college news of October 20, 1965 seemed
to be a wild press conference held by the
then-obscure Students for a Democratic
Society, which called for a civilian alter-
native to the draft amid heated refusals
to say whether it was a communist
group.

Two decades later, it is clear an event
of equal significance to American higher
education was taking place that same
day a few blocks away at the Capitol,
where Congress was approving an
almost-ignored piece of landmark
legislation.

“Although it did not get the attention
it should have when it was passed, the
Higher Education Act of 1965 establish-
ed higher education as a national priori
ty,” said American Enterprise Institute
researcher Terry Hartle,

Now, even as Congress debates
changing the all-important act many
educators around the country are
preparing to celebrate the 20th anniver-
sary of the law that revolutionized
American higher education.

Most educators feel they have pleiity
to celebrate.

The act invented most kinds of stu-
dent aid, made it possible to educate
most of America’s middle and portions
of its lower economic classes, and
transformed many U.S. colleges into
knowledge supermarkets,

While other observers charged the act
fostered unwanted changes as well, fans
of the Higher Education Act aren't shy
about promoting it,

“it’s the foundation for federal
higher education laws. Virtually
