Two Victories Put Albany Back On Track

Danes Top RPI, 55-44;
Beat Binghamton, 52-46

by Bob Bellafiore

TROY — Utilizing a more open, free-lance offense and an ag-

Bressive, pre

Went on a 12-6 spree in the first 6:17 of thes

ing defense, the Albany State basketball team

cond half to open

up a 30-18 lead, and defeated RPI, $5-44 Thursday night.
The Danes pressed the slower Engineers for most of the

game, but it wasn’t until Albany switched its defensive strat

y

from a zone to a full court man-to-man coverage that things

began to happen.

‘In the second half, we changed it up a little bit and played a

little free-lance,” sai

Albany foward Pete Stanish, ‘We
started running and getting some lay-ups.

Of Albany's 18 second half field goals
Ups, and Stanish had four of those in netting 12 point

, eight were on lay-
s in that

half, He tied center John Dieckelman for Dane scoring honors
with 14, who had 10 tallies of his own in the final period.
The game started slowly, with Albany jumping oul to a 4-0
lead on jump shots by co-captains Ray Cesare and Rob Clune.
A pair of Tom Martinelli (game high 19 points) free throws and
‘a Brian Apt shot from the side, tied it up at 4-4. But after the
Danes took an 8-6 advantage on Dieckelman’s spinning lay-in
with 11:37 left in the opcning half, the Engineers had to play

catch-up for good.

Albany pulled themselves out of
their shooting slump slightly, hite
ting 24 of their 46 field goal at
fempts, but the real story of this
game was the defense, which was
geared to stopping RPI's 6-8 cente
Pat Roohan, It did, and even
though he had two blocked shots,
he was never a factor in the game,

“1 think we've made progress,
said Albany head basketball Dick
Sauers of his 16-3 Danes, presently
ranked thirteenth in the nation
“We were aggressive — a little
more alert, | think we've turned It
around.”

Tuesday night, the Danes had to
bear with another bout with errant
shooting to just get by Binghamton,
52-46, in a conference game at

University Gym. Albany shot a not
50 impressive 19 for $1 from the
floor, mostly because the Colonial
1-2-2 zone defense forced the Danes
to bomb away from outside,

‘1 think they had an awful lot of
trouble with our defense," said
Binghamton head basketball couch
John Affleck.

Albany suffered three scoring
droughts in the game — one that
lasted 7:41 in the middle of the se-
cond half that allowed the Col-
Onials to overcome # 36-30 deficit,
and take a 38-36 lead. The Danes
also went the last 4;14 of the first
half with only canning (Wo points (a
Mike Gatto follow-up of an air
ball), and survived a stretch of 6:09
near the end of the contest with a

mere five points.

Binghamton was not much bet-
ter, shooting at a 17 for 49 clip.
With the Albany defense shutting
down Charles Heins to a meager
three points (11 under his team
leading average) on one for nine
shooting, the Colonial attack never
got untracked, ‘Tonight for some
reason,” Affleck said of Heins, the
former roommate of Albany's
Stanish, ‘he was maybe trying 00
hard, He got a little flustered carly.

"We had countless oppor:
es, but we Just didn’t put the
ball in the basket.”

But the Colonials nearly pulled
this one out, coming back from 10
points down in the first half, and
‘were only down by one with 1:38 re
maining in the game, 45-44, when
the Danes pulled away with five
straight points on two Clune (game
high 20 points) free throws, « fast
break basket by Stanish, and
another free throw by sub Steve
Low,

Coming off the bench, Low pro-
vided the fuel to the sputtering
Danes, who were playing Bingham-
ton for the second time this season
after a loss to Potsdam, In just
under 28 minutes on the court (12
over his average), the 6-4 senior
contributed 13 points (five of five
from the floor), 12 rebounds
(including the 200th of his Albany
Career), and tough, hustling
defen

“1 was really impressed with
Steve's play," Sauers said, “He was
due, 1 figured he's strong, he's
ready — 1 knew he was going to
have @ good game.”

It was Low's rebounds of Clune
air balls that sandwiched Albany's
seven-minute scoreless period in the
Second half, and his defense along
with that of Dieckelman, on Heins
that held the rival'forward in check.

‘The win moved Albany's record

to 15-3 (5-2 in the SUNYAC), and
while it got the Danes back on the
winning track, Saulers was unhappy
‘about his team's performance.

Sauers continued. “Not that we

Fredonia Paper Questioned

by Susan Milli

Perceived ‘*objectionable’
language in an October 1980 issue
of SUC/Fredonia's The Leader hay
spurred a heated debate between
that publication's editorial board
and neighboring Dunkirk's
Gitizen's Action Board (CAB) that
is yet unresolved

The CAB's initial concern was In
egard to The Leader's explicit ac
count of comments said to a female
college employee in the reporting of
sexual harassment case, The
anization later turned its atten:
sections of the paper
they deemed inappropriate, and
subsequently acted in an attempt to
censor those aspects, according to
Leader editor in chief Randy J.
Woodbury

“The Leader contains articles on
ti radation of women, pictures
which show the cross (crucifix) in a
hard light, and profane Words,"”
CAB Research Director Joseph
Carrus said. “We feel these things
haye no place in a student
newspaper.”

The Dunkirk group is particular
ly angry at the publication of a
Picasso print depicting a couple
engaged ina sex act and several col-
umns written by Leader managing
editor Martin LeFever that they feel
are degrading and sexually explicit,
he said

Woodbiiry commented in an
editorial that “several sections of

tions to oth

The Leader were particularly avant
garde... and in reaction, a tittle
John Birch Society has decided that
Aon-cosmopolitan Fredonia needs
to be spared the challenge of dialec
tics and the strain of intellectual in-
quisition.'*

Woodbury charged that the CAB
“has dumped hundreds of copies of
The Leader in the trash, written
anonymous leiters to Leader adver
pleading for them (0
withdraw economic support, and
pleaded to The Leader advisor
(George Sebouhian) to persuade the
paper to quiet down,”

Carrus explained that as part of
their campaign, the CAB sent out
35 packets of Leader issues to
Various people and organizations,
including SUNY Chancellor Clifton
ton, the SUNY Board of
and several New York

tisers,

He added that as a result, the
CAB “received letters expressing
dismay. . . and those who wrote
tributed the content of The Leader
{o ‘an immature desire 10 push
freedom of expression to the
jimit,””

LeFever contends that both he

and Woodbury have been harassed
by one or more members of the

UCB and WCDB Will Work Together

phote: UP

UBC's Dave Montanaro and WCDB's Jim Diamond.
They will be working together again on campus events.

by Debbie Judge

After approximately three mon-
ths of disagreement, the campus
radio station, (WCDB) and the
University Concert Board (UCB)
announced that they will once again
be working together on campus
events,

The decision was reached at a
meeting last Thursday night bet-
ween WCDB General Manager,
Diamond and UCB Chair Dave
Montanaro.

According to Diamond, UCB!s

Montanaro said that in some

to co-sponsor events with WCDB,
because it broadcasts with only 10
watts and is only effective in
reaching the uptown campus. Most
commercial stations have thousands

According to Montanaro,
economic reasons led UCB to seek

plained, ‘We never stopped talk-

New Federal Parent Loan Program is Proposed

by Ken Gordon

A new parent loan program may
bein operation by July 1981, accor-
ding fo the U.S, Department of,
Education,

The proposed program will
enable parents of dependent New
York State residents to borrow up
fo $3,000 per academic year, at a
limit of $1,500 for cach
lindergraduate dependent. The in
terest rate would be nine percent

Both students and parents will be
able to borrow in the same
academic year, bul the combined

MUN! cannot exceed the unmet
Gost of the student's education
According to the U.S. Depart:
ment of Education, an “eligible
dependent?” must be in good
academic standing and attend at
Teast part-time a college, university
or vocational institution that par
ticipates in the Guaranteed Student
Loan Program,”
In order for this program to be

implemented, the New York State
Legislature must pass a bill amen-
ding the Education Law to include
Parents as possible recipients of
guaranteed loans, said Assistant to
the Governor's Council Richard
Briffault. Attorney in Council for
the Higher Education Services Cor-
poration Fred Schreyer said that
although the bill does not have a
high priority and has not yet been
introduced in the legislature, there
is “no reason to doubt that the
legislation should be passed," He
added that minor preparations,

begun in anticipation of its passage.

A.S.U. Students Sue Universities

MONTGOMERY, Al. (CPS) Try-
ing to escape the dismal fate of
most black colleges in states where
federal desegregation programs
have been enforced, a group of
facully members, students, and
graduates of predominantly-black
Alabama State University has sued
to take over the administration of
Auburn and Troy State universities,
Which are also in Montgomery.

In its lawsuit, the group asserts
that the state ‘*has not only failed to
dismantle the dual system of higher
education in Montgomery,’ but
has tried to keep all three schools
racially identifiable” by making
sure that “white students would not
be attracted to ASU,”

The show has been highly acclaimed in
the past for its beautiful melodies and mean:
ingful lyrics. Each song tells a story, and each
story includes a powerful message about the
nature of the human condition. Recurring
themes include death ("Funeral Tango,”

“My Death”), fear of aging ("Old Folks
“Desperate Ones"), sordid sex ("Timid
Sirls and Dogs"), and hypocrisy
‘Middle Class"), The funny

songs satirize human folly, while the sad
songs bemoan the inevitability of human
misfortune, The penultimate song
"Carousel," combines the sentiments of the
entire shaw into a whirling indictment of the
World as an amusement park, full of cotton

song gets fasier and faster until the climax ar

from exhaustion. The final song, "I We Only
Have Love," is a last gasp of optimism.

When singing as an ensemble, the current

amiably and with spirit. The cast members

The Good Rats have been in existence for
2 dood six or seven years now, and, except
for a few scatiered spots across the country,
are relatively unknown, The major concen:

This Is understandable as they started out as
a Long Island bar band. However, after
seven albums and numerous club dates and
concert appearances as the opening act for
larger groups, they are starting to expand
their audience.

The band consists of Schuyler Deale on
bass, Joe Franco, drums; Bruce Kulick,
guitar; and Micky and Peppi Marchello on.

been due to the lack of familiarity with the

this also.

‘Some of the high points of the show were
“Mr, Mechanic)" Injun Joe,” Coo Coo Coo

love for rock'n'roll, A very striking aspect of
this song was the lead guitar playing by

adorable that they make thelr stupid

Capitol Success

face

The band quickly ripped through eight
songs including "How Sweet It Is" by James
Taylor, and “Russian Lullaby” and “Tangled
Up In Blue," two Bob Dylan tunes which
really expressed the emotion and stylish
playing of Garcia, “Tangled Up In Blue,”
really set the Capitol rocking, but unfor-
tunately ended all too soon, With the crowd
as up as t was, there was a major disappoint:

ment when the lights went on without the
band playing even one encore.

‘The second show, slated to start at 11:00,
* was delayed over an hour and a half, as Dr.
John didn't start his 30 minute set until well
{nto Valentine's Day. By this time many of
‘the loyal fans were falling asleep and needed

a Jolt of rock ‘n’ roll to awaken them, Garcia,
it seems, knew this and provided the needed

medicine. The eye opener of this show was

the Jimmy Cliff song "The Harder They

Come," Jerry's volce end reggae rhythms

provided a very interesting contrast and

made the song that much better. The second

show, with two more songs, was definitely

better than the first.

After a short break, the band came back
for three more songs: “Dear Prudence,”
followed by the Garcia classic “Deal” and the
wrap-up tune, "Moonlight Midnight.” The
energy of the crowd peaked during these
three songs which was very surprising since it
was almost 3:30 in the morning! *

‘As was driving back to, Albany, watching
the sun come up along the Thruway, it oc-
cured to me that Jerry Garsia had opened
up part of his Inner world to those who
Would listen, It is the world of a musician, a
{rue artist, a man who really enjoys what he
is doing, and who affected all of those layal
‘cars who appreciate Jerry's many aifts, Let's
hope he'll bring that world to Albany
sometime this spring. e

Oppressed Students

Time to Fight Reaganism

Tack L, Lester

‘Now that students find themselves facing
cuts in federal and state ald along with ris-
ing costs, it must be apparent that the right
wing has elected education as one of its
whipping boys, Therefore, students in New
York State stand with consumers, tenants,
Tabor unions, and minorities as recipients of
Reagan's assault on the public interest,

But one must keep in mind that the right

wing has had only a taste of victory. They
want more, They want to completely
dismantle social programs, cripple unions,
erode the living standards of workers, and
end government aid to education at every
level, They wish to destroy the concept of
equal opportunity which had barely reach-
ed its infancy in recent years,

‘They are doing this in the name of stopp
ing inflation, Yet with oll and gas
deregulated, and the military budget
forecasted at one trillion dollars over the
next five years, no objective observer of
‘government believes this motive, Entrench-
ed power is seeking further economic gain
to solidify their hold on power. Corpora-
tions which receive military contracts,
donated $14.5 million to the Republican
Congressional Campaigns,

Students now have the obligation in their
own interest and in the interest of those
similarly situated to work against the
destructive tide of the federal government,
Students have always been a force for pro-
gressive social change, In Latin America,
Eastern Europe, France, and in America
during the 1960's, students were in the

Vanguard of movements promoting
‘economic and political equality.

Students are still active today in a quiet
and dedicated way. Having access to infor-
mation and scholars, they have the advan-
tage of being part of a cohesive group in &
campus environment, They have the tools

Tor organizing, (Ie, newspapers, xeroxing,
door to door canvasing), Students are at a
rare point in life when they have the time
and ability to analyze issues, and advocate
positions clearly and ettectively

Students must now understand that their

voices raised forcefully and in a coalition
with all those victims of Reagan's perverted
‘economics can prevail, Tenants, labor con-
sumers, students, minorities, and the poor
may not contribute more to candidates in
dollars, but we outnumber the corporate
overseers and beneficiaries of military han~
douls, The key to success will be a unified
effort. Students must use their skills to
educate the public not in thelr exclusive
self-interest but as part of a coalition Join-
ing with other have-nots,

The student legislative effort in Albany
‘and in Washington must be geared toward
building bridges with all those groups cur-
rently on the defensive. Reagan has made
economics his priority and has clearly defi
ed the issues, Those with little can expect
Jess, I hope students will repeat their role in
the 60's when they pressed for an end to
war, Now in the 80's students can press for
‘an end to class oppression being fostered by
Reagan’s economic theories.

RA Warning

To the Editor:
1am writing this letter as a warning; a
warning to the R.A. applicants on Stale
Quad (although it will probably be helpful
to candidates on all quads), 1 am writing
this as a person who's been there and
knows. Asa former R.A. myself, I feel
my responsibility to let these people know
‘what they're up against.
Before going any further, 1 would like to
say that the job is an excellent position, It
affords you the opportunity to grow in a
way which is seldom possible in college life
‘And to the few R.A.'s who actually take
advantage of this magnificent growing op-
portunity, great, You deserve all the credit
which I'm sure has already been bestowed
upon you,

But the sad fact lies in that the vast ma-
Jority get caught up in the bureaucracy and
hypocrisy presented by those known as the
“professional staff’ (the directors and
quad coordinator-especially the quad coor-
dinator). Of course this hypocrisy does not
stop with the professional staff, it extends
all the way to the top of the Residence Of-
fice.

‘The latest hypocrisy was pointed out to
me by three members of the residence staff
who attended the mandatory interest
meeting for R.A. applicants. I draw atten-
tion to this specific point because it was due
to this that I lost my job as an R.A. To
make a long story short, last year I was an
R.A. I felt I did a good job and, without

tooting my own horn, my evaluations
showed that the dorm felt the same way. I
reapplied for the position and was accepted
‘on the condition that I show improvement

ia my grades, My overall cum was over &

2,0
‘Anyone who has been & R.A. knows that

‘an overall cum of 2.0 required to hold the
position. But that semester, my GPA fell
below a 2,0. Even though my overall cum
remained above a 2.0, I was removed from
i¢ position,
he Fran it was pointed out that I did meet
the requirements, a new requirement sur-
faced, In addition to needing a 2.0 overall,
you must have achieved a 2.0 in the
Jemester previous to that for which you are
applying, Hard as I tried, I could not find
anyone on staff who knew of this require.
rent except for Pattie Snyder, State Quad
Coordinator.

She also informed me that even if I had
met the requirements, and even though I
had been selected by a committee of which
she was a part, she alone had final say. 1
‘guess the fact that during the previous year
T had complained to John Welty, former
Director of Residence, about the job she
was doing did not help my situation,

'So as | said before, it is my intention to
warn those students applying for the R.A:
position, You see, at the R.A. interest
meeting it was pointed out that an overall:
cum of 20 is required, Nothing was sald
‘about the semester preceeding the one for
which you are applying.

Why was this? Is it because this require-
ment was created to eliminate only me? If
$0, I'm flattered, Or is it because they plan
to use it again for the same reason? To
eliminate those who do not meet Ms:
Snyder's ‘‘needs,”” I find it hard to believe
that she would forget to mention something
‘as important as that,

So beware applicants, this is only one of
several incidents 1 could have chosen to
write about, For instance, how they refused
to open up two vacant S.A. positions to ap-
plications simply because they were trying
to exclude one person from applying. Or 1
could have written about the Judicial Board
case which has been pending for over six
months because Ms, Snyder wanted to
“drag it out as long as possible." Or I could
have written of how, in the opinion of those
in attendance at a Quad Board meeting last
semester, Ms, Snyder lied about the amount
‘of money R.A.’s have available to spend on
R.A, projects. In fact I may eventually do
's0, but at the moment I felt the R.A. ap-
plicants were in need of some enlighten-
ment,

‘Although to Ms, Snyder and her
followers (known as Pattie's Pets), this may
Seem to be revenge from a bitter person. |
‘assure you that is not the case, As a member
of Judicial Board and Quad Board I have
found this year to be equally as fulfilling as
last year and I hold no bitterness,

Farewell Follett

To the Ealtor:

‘Also drapes in the Penthouse were ripped
down.

6, All this was capped off by a food fight at
Sunday Dinner that littered the entin

‘The total estimated cost of replacing thi
damage is approximately $1,000, What \s
‘even more startling is that not one person
has been apprehended or even designated as

Speak Up

To the Editor:

‘After having read David Mantz's letter to
the Editor (ASP February 10, 1981) about
the need for “less screaming’? and budget
cuts, I feel obligated to make a brief com-
ment,

Once again, another administration
moves into the White House, this time on a
conservative platform, and again there are
demands made for drastic budget cuts.
‘And, unfortuately, once again it is the
Weakest groups in society that will have to
suffer the most. Minority groups: with weak
or no organizations at all are the convenient
targets for the GOP budget cuts, Especially
since they didn't provide any substantial
support neither mon nor moral for
Reagan and Co. in the past presidential
campaign. It would, however, be foolish to
deny the existence of a severe deficit pro-
blem in this nation, But instead of making
the already poor and weak groups in society
suffer even more, the wealthy should have
to carry a larger burden. The truth is that
while the United States is among. the richest
countries in the world (also in terms of in-

__Joke’s On Us

To the Editor:

On Sunday, February 15, at approx:
imately 5:40 p.m., there was a very exten-
sive food fight in the Indian Quad cafeteria,
The casualities: a large amount of Sloppy
Joes, mashed potatoes, and broccoli
showered across the entire cafeteria (the
floor, chairs, tables), several broken dishes
and glasses, and several students brought
Up on referral, In addition, a large glass
door in the skin room of Indian was shat-
tered on Saturday night (there was a quad
party!) and over the course of the weekend,
several fights broke out between students,
Needless t0 say, security paid some friendly
Visits {o Indian Quad on this lovely Valen-
tine's weekend,

Now you tell me, fellow SUNYA
students, who pays for all of this "fun?
The cafeteria food fight isn't as hysterical
when you realize that the cafeteria workers
had to clean up all of the delicious UAS
food from the floor. Not to mention the
fact that many had to work overtime, and
the money has to come from somewhere
And the broken dishes and gh
silverware that you stole for your next
year's off campus apartment, well, they do
have to get replaced. And the big glass door
in the skin room, all shattered into a million
pieces, well, it has (o get fixed sometime

What I'm trying to say is that I'm angry,
We all know that a very heated debatc is go-
ing on about raising our (uition and room
and board rates, Well, why don’t you stop
screaming at Chancellor Wharton and
Governor Carey, and turn’ to your fellow
students (or even yourselves)-and try to ston.

Listen, I'm graduating this year and I'll
be out of this system, so what does it matter
to me? Well it does, because the SUNY
system fs still a low-cost education (at least
in comparison to other schools) and infla-
tion hits everything hard, I don't like pay
ing extra any more than you do, but if
students continue to, damage their own
property, there’s no one to blame but
ourselves. Even one of the most memorable
events of a SUNYA career, Mayfest, might
be taken away from us (as we know it), due
to lack of respect for our school, Sure, a
cafeteria food fight is a real laugh. But the

Cheating: It's Here

To the Editor:

Call for Representation

The purpose and necessity of Student Association (SA) is unquestionable,
We students need an organization to allocate the three-quarters of a million
tax dollars we contribute annually, We need individuals who are willing to
dedicate themselves to making life at SUNYA better, They provide us with the
many diverse groups and activities we require for broadening our education
and expanding our recreation, We need a student government to represent our
best interests before the administration, the faculty and the University com-
munity,

But is that what SA is doing? Are they really representing us? Has it come to
the point where they are merely acting as a branch of the administration rather
than the voice of the students?

The problem does not begin with our current elected representatives. Clear-
Iy, the situation predates Sue Gold and Brian Levy, But somewhere between
the founding of SA and the Mayfes! crisis of today, the notion . 4 represen:
tative student government has been lost,

SA has known since last May that changes would have to be made in order
to continue the tradition of Mayfest, As our representatives, they had an
obligation to inform the students that Mayfest was in jeopardy, just as they
now have the obligation to keep us up-to-date,

What is the current status of Mayfest?

Zven after meeting with SA officials, we are still in the dark, This is a
perfect example of not involving students in problems that directly concern
them.

We do not honestly feel that our executive and legislative officials are fulfill-
ing the duties that were originally designated to them, The fault, however, is
with the structure and not with the people involyed in SA.

Perhaps the current structure of SA does not allow for maximum represen-
tation, Maybe SA has become (00 bureaucratic and (oo far removed from the
students to truly get a sense of what we fecl and want, And just possibly the
Well-intentioned and well-designed student government of yesterday has grown
obsolete (o the pressures and needs of students today,

Itis time for students, and yes, SA leaders, 10 sit down and look at the cur-
rent situation, The need for student government has been, 1s, and will always
be of utmost importance, The need, however, for a representative student

government must never be forgotten. SA must always remember that itis we,
fhe students, who put them where they arc; iL s we they must report to; and it

is we who, by definition, must hold the ultimate power to govern ourselves,

Up again, in a season full of ups
and downs, Albany State junior
varsity basketball team beat the
Plattsburgh Cardinals, 63-55 Satur
ay night at University Gym. Two
rights before that, the jayvees
‘avenged an earlier season loss to the
RPI Engineers by beating them con-
vincingly, 76-57.

‘The J.V. Danes had little pro-
blem handling the Cardinals. To
begin with, Plattsburgh only had
seven players on the jayvee squad.
Several players had been brought
up to the varsity and others were ill,
according to Cardinal J.V. head
basketball coach Dan Thels

Yet after Dane forward Dean
Graebell (20 points, game high)
opened the scoring with a three-
point play, the Cards went on a 10-4
scoring streak, But a Billy Everett
(15. points) double pump lay-up
5:45 into the game gave Albany the
jead, 12-10, which they never relin-
quished.

Even though the Cards fell
behind early in the score, Thelss
Kept using a zone defense allowing
Albany to stall for the final 2:30 of
the first half (leading 26-19),

‘They were bigger than us, Our

Cardinal hopes of catching up by
stealing the ball in Albany's end
and going up for a thunderous slam

at 63-55.
“We got outside shots and re-

bounds,” said Everett, ‘It was &
pretty good game for us."”

‘Thursday night, the Danes had a
good game against RPI also. Earlier
this season, Albany had lost to the
considerably taller team by eleven
points, 62-51, but Thursday, things
were quite different,

The problem facing Albany inthe
first meeting was the domination by
the big men, especially 6-8 Engineer
forward Bill Bowers. This time,
‘Albany overcame that problem by
running all over the Engineers and
managing to out-rebound them,

Everett scored 26 points and Ar-
chible was nearly invincible under
the boards with twelve points most-

Jy coming from offensive rebounds,

‘We ran on them and we made
them put thelr smaller faster Buys
in. That's how you have to beat
them," said Skeel,
‘Albany took a comfortable 40-17
lead into halftime which allowed
Skee! to do ‘a little overcoaching. 1
started experimenting a bit, We
tried a couple of offénses,”” sald the
Danes coach.

‘The jayvees controlled the tempo.

to the previous contest between

Binghamton in the first round, and
then edged his former high school
co-captain, Tim Abigail from
Brockport, 8-6, He then went on to
the finals and outpointed
Poisdam's Mark Norris, 11-8, in
what many people felt was the most
exciting match of the tournament.
“Twas confident, but I really had
to come up with something extra at
the end,” Seras said about his
match against Norris, and added,
“4]t was extra sweet making it to the
finals, and also beating Tim,'”

Cesare’s Shot With :02 Left Downs Union, 66-64

Open Rough Week With
Romp Over Plattsburgh

by Bob Bellafiore
SCHENECTADY — Ray Cesare’s short jump shot with just
iwo seconds remaining broke a 62-62 deadlock, and gave the
Albany State basketball team a 64-62 win over a late-sur;
Union College team, Monday night at Union's Memorial
House,

The Danes led by 11 points, 57-46, with 8:37 to go in the
jame, but Union went on a 13-3 tear in the next five minutes to
(lose the gap, Guard Joe Clinton's (20 points) three-point play
with 24 seconds left knotted the contest at 62, when Albany

alled time out, and set up their final play,

It was designed that Albany would wait until there were 10

onds left on the clock, and then look for either Pete Stanish,
Rob Clune, or Cesare to shoot.

“We wanted to run a stall for 10 seconds, and then establish
4 point man,’ Cesare said, ‘But it didn’t work out,””

“That person that had the ball with 10 seconds was supposed
to go down (near the basket) and cither dish off or look to
shoot,"” Stanish said,

Stanish was that person. With five ticks left on the clock, he
let go with a jumper from the corner that missed.

“| knew how much time was left, but they were playing the
other men so hard, I had no choice but to shoot it,’” the for-
Ward continued,

The rebound flew oyer the hoarding quintet of Dutchman,
and into Cesare’s hands at the foul line, The senior took a step,
and swished his shot over two outstretched defenders, clinching

the victory,

But judging by the way the first
40 minutes of this Capital District
clash went, it didn’t seem as if it
would come to a last second basket,
Albany led for the entire game
(except for a 40 second span early in
the first half) and maintained con-
trol as well as a 10 point lead

throughout most of the contest,
playing ‘tas well as we've played all
year," according to Albany head
basketball coach Dick Sauers.
Union showed why they had won
seyen of thelr elght games coming
into the Gontest (including victories
‘over Division II Hartwick and then-

highly ranked Rochester) in the
final eight minutes,

Behind their all-time teading.
scorer Joe Cardany’s pairs of Iay-
ps and jump shots, and his blazing
78 second half shooting, (en route
to a game high 21 points) the Dut-
chmen took advantage of Dane foul
trouble, and gave Albany a run for
thelr money.

It was a great comeback they
almost made,!” Sauers said, "1
think Union, in the last ten minutes,
played super defense. We were hav-
ing trouble getting {t in. 1 knew we
would,"

Still, the Danes had three men In:

schedule, with four games in the
