Latinos ridicule stereotypes in the media

By Susan Gonzalez

Fuerza Latina marked the end
of Hispanic Heritage Month
Friday night with its Latino
Heritage Month Annual
Banquet.

Keynote speaker Luis
Caballero, a Puerto Rican
playwright and creator of the
movie, The Puerto Rican
Mambo- Not a Musical, which
was banned at aPuerto Rican arts
and film festival, mixed anger
and comedy to blast the
stereotypes of Puerto Ricans and
other Latinos in the U.S. He
was particularly critical of a lack
of Latino programming in the
mainstream media.

Caballero talked about the
obstacles he faced when he tried
to use his controversial material
for a stand-up act he did at the
“Stand up New York” comedy
club in New York City. He said
he did a whole act about the club
and its owner, who had told him
he could not use the phrase, “rice
and beans” in his act.

“T mean, can you believe that,“
Caballero said. “You know,
what was going to happen if I
said that...we’re going to freak
out?”

Word of the club incident
spread quickly, and soon after

NBC’s “Dateline” asked him for
an interview.

Caballero said he was shocked
to learn that Phillips was

unaware of the number of
Latinos in the US.

“The guy freaked,” he said.
“He didn’t know anything about
Latinos.” Once Phillips was

embarrassed, the producers
followed suit and Caballero said
he was then thrown out of the
interview.

Central Council elections begin

By Joe Faughnan
NEWS EDITOR

This week's Central Council elections, scheduled
to begin Monday were postponed until today to
straighten out some details, said Council Chair
Sarah Zevin. Zevin said the elections would end
Wednesday.

16 on and off-campus seats are up for grabs in
this contest.. At the same time, a referendum on
whether the Student Association will impose a
mandatory athletic fee has been postponed because
“the council did not feel there was enough
information” Zevin said.

According to Zevin, the original schedule for the
election would have had voting taking place during
the lunch and dinner hours Monday and Tuesday of
this week, but the failure of poll watchers to appear
at various polling places caused the election to be
delayed.

The 16 seats open are: 7 off campus; 1 each in
Indian, State, Freedom, Colonial and Alumni
quads, and two in Dutch Quad.

“These seats are open for several reasons, “
Zevin said. “Some are left open for frosh and
transfer students, others are left open after the
spring elections because few people run for them,”
We do try to get new people to participate.”

The athletic fee referendum, proposed by Inter
Collegiate Athletics Board member and Central
Council representative Christopher Hahn was not

placed on the ballot by Council last week but
could find its way into a special election later in
the year, she said.

Last year a similar athletics referendum had
been placed on the ballot, but a low voter tumout
compelled SUNYA President H. Patrick Swygert
and Vice President for AcademicAffairs Mitchel
Livingston to ask for a new vote on the issue.

“The president didn’t feel the vote adequately
represented the students,” Zevin said. “He
requested we put it to students again.”

“The election day was set up without enough
information (about the athletic fee question)”,
Zevin said. “None of the frosh know anything
about it..” Hahn said that Council had plenty of
time to prepare for the referendum.

If the athletic fee passes, Zevin said, “there will
be a decrease in the student activity fee” as more
money goes directly to the students. At the same
time another fee would be imposed on students to
make up for it.

Elections will take place today and tomorrow
during lunch and dinner in the quad flagrooms of
and in the Campus Center for commuter students.

Students who would like to vote will need to
present a student I.D. before voting, tax stickers
will be available to students when voting.

these clubs, so I did the movie in
retaliation,” Caballero said.

The problems he faced making
his movie- a comedy about
Puerto Rican stereotypes- was a
common theme for his talk. He
was a common theme for his
talk. He was harsh in his
analysis of the way Latinos are
portrayed and treated by the
media,

“Warner Brothers and
Universal have all seen the
movie and they all loved it,
“Caballero said, “But then they
say, ‘Can we change the ending,
the middle, can we take you out,
put Danny DeVito in?”

Caballero said CBS was
interested in doing a sitcom
around him but they would not
let him be a writer for the
proposed show.

“On top of that, if you look in
all the TV listings, there is not
one show depicting Latinos,”
Caballero said. “They figure
you'll watch “A Different
World” so they don’t care. All
you’re left with is a choice
between “In Living Color” and
“The Simpsons”.

Caballero then focused his
barbs on the musical “West Side
Story” to highlight the low
numbers of Latinos used for
productions which feature

Sex roles create confusion
between men and women

By Rachel DeTeso
STAFF WRITER

Men and women have trouble
understanding what's expected
of them by the opposite sex, said
la human sexuality educator
Friday.

Ron Campbell, Director of
Residential Life and Human
Sexuality Educator at George
Mason University said women
don’t know men as well as they
think they do.

The greatest misunderstanding
is the concept of masculinity,
(Campbell said.

“Many men are frustrated with
the role and expectations women
have for them,” Campbell said.

Men are confused about how
ito act and what to say to women,
and women are always asking
for sensitivity and honesty, but
then may call men “gay or
lwimps” who do act this way, he
said.

This creates a problem

between men, who feel they

Latinos.

He said he was shocked to
learn the play's star Natalie
Wood, wasn't Puerto Rican.

He also said he couldn't
imagine how someone could go
running through a Spanish
neighborhood yelling, "Maria!
Maria!" and only one window
opening.

“And then look at who wrote
the play,-Steven Soundheim-
another great Puerto Rican, “ he
added, which evoked some of
the loudest applause of the night.

The banquet also featured
opening remarks by SUNYA
President H. Patrick Swygert, as
well as a presentation of awards
to several people who have
worked for the advancement of
the Latino culture.

Receiving awards were: Lilly
and Jose Masilotti, who received
the Simon Bolivar Award for
their journalistic/community
work as hosts of a Saturday radio
show at the Union College radio
station in Schenectady; Luiz del
Alba Aceveda, a professor of
Latin Caribbean Studies
Department at SUNYA, the

and Charlotte:Gardner, who won

he added.

As a result, men feel as though|
they are “being attacked by
women. In addition, they
receive confirmation for acting}
‘tight’””, Campbell said.

One of the main causes 0
sexual violence is the underlying}
frustration and lack o
communication between the}
sexes, he said.

“Most men are misseducated”
when it comes to their own
bodies, women and their}
expectations.”Campbell said.

According to Campbell, the
two basic sources men have on
these topics are the media and|
their friends.

The media “distorts, uses}

Quake kills seventy

Cairo, Egypt

(AP)- Some of the 72 people who died

when an earthquake brought down a high-

rise apartment building might have lived

were it not for the noisy, slashing blades

of a bulldozer, experts and a survivor said
Saturday.

But the only alternative, searching by
hand through mountains of debris, would
have taken so long that at least two and
probably more of the 16 survivors would
have died, the experts said

Meanwhile, thousands of people left
homeless by the quake Monday protested
what they said was the governemnt’s
faillure to provide relief. Police used tear
gas to break up one Cairo demonstration.

The six-day search at the building
ended Saturday night, the state-run
Middle East News Agency reported.

The earthquake measured 5.9 on the
Richter scale. According to Prime
Minister Atef Sedki, the latest tally is 543
people killed and 6,512 injured.
Thousands of buildings, mostly old ot of
shoddy constuction, were damaged ot
destroyed.

Village destroyed

Columbia’s poorest, leaving 500 people

homeless and about 20 injured, officials
said. But no deaths were immediately
reported.

The earthquake, measuring 6.6
on the Richter scale, was felt in several
towns on Columbia’s Pacific coast.
Hardest hit was the remote village of
Murindo, about 90 miles northwest of
Mendellin in Antiquia state.

The lack of casualties was probably die
to the fact that most dwellings in the
village, as ellsewhere in Columbia’s
tropical areas, were made of branches,
with roofs of grass or banana leaves. The
quake struck before dawn, so most people
were at home asleep at the time.

Hundreds of aftershocks, some
measuring up to 4.5 on the Richter scale,
were recorded following the 4:33 a.m.
temblor.

State Governor Juan Gomez, who
reported the figure of 20 people hurt, said
the injuries were not severe. But he said
he was still waiting for a more complete
report from a helicopter medical team
dispatched to the town.

Rodeo Queen hurt

Austin, Texas

(AP)- Here’s one queen who has a lot
of breaks.

Lana Grubb, Miss Rodeo USA 1992,
has broken her neck, a leg, and a foot in
separate incidents since taking the crown
ealier this year.

“Rodeo is a kind of dangerous sport,
but I know you don’t expect the queen to

be so hospitalized,” Ms.Grubb said during
acisit this week to Austin.

Ms.Grubb, 25, of Fort Davis has
ridden horses since she was 3 and has
never fallen from one until this year. Her
first injury was in April.

“The horse turned out from underneath
me and I broke my neck,” she said. “But it
was away fromt he spinal column. It
wasn’t as serious as it could have been. I
was up and going in about a week.”

Two months later, her horse jumped
sideways and she wound up with a broken
foot.

“They said just to put my boots on and
live with it,” Ms.Grubb siad. “We have
injuries in rodeo all the time. A friend of
mine had a (bull) horn put through his
stomach.”

A month after-her foot was broken,
misfortune struck again.

“TI was running barrels, and a horse
stumbled and fell on my leg,” she said.

Star Trek lives

Boston, Mass.

(AP)- James Doohan, who played

Scotty in TV’s original “Star Trek,”

opened a new “Trek” exhibit at the

Museum of Science and said his favorite
part is the matter-antimatter display.

Doohan, 72, became famous in his role
as engineer of the Starship Enterprissse
for constanfly fretting about the matter-
antimatter mix in the ship’s engines.

Seeing a display on the subject was
less worrisome.

“To me, just reading about matter and
antimatter was terrific,” Doohan said.
“There’s all sortss of things students and
adults can learn from.”

Man tapes abuse

Troy, N.Y .

(AP)-A 38-year-old man has been
accused of sexually abusing a teen-age
girl several times and videotaping one
incident, according to court records.

Anthony Kovalsky, of Troy, was
indicted Friday in Rensselaer County
Court on felony charges of sodomy,
sexual abuse and use of a child in a sexual
performance.

He is accused of forcing a 13-year-old
girl into sexual contact several times
during July ar his home, and of
videotaping one incident, the indictment
says.

D'Amato:"Go Bill!"

Schenectady, N.Y.

(AP)- Republican Sen. Alfonse
D'Amato, having conceded that President
Bush will likely lose New York, prepared
Saturday for his first television debate
against Democratic challenger Robert
Abrams.

The debate, a one-hour confrontation
at WRGB-TV in Schenectady, came as
D’Amato appeared to be distancing
hinself form the top of his own national
ticket in what has become one of the
nastiest Senate races in the nation.

“If you take a look at the positions of
the carious candidates, you will see Al
D’Amaio... much closer to Mr.Clinton
than Bob Abrams,” D’Amato said outside
the Watervliet Arsenal.

“D” Amato cited, among other things,
how he and Clinton support the death
penalty and the free-trade agreement with
Mexico. Abrams is against both.

On a flight Friday to the campaign
stop near Albany, D'Amato also told the
New York Times that he expected Bush to
lose the state.

"Why is that bad to say?” He added.
"Is it so bad to state the obvious.”

D'Amato insisted he wasn’t trying to
distance himself form Presidnet Bush, but
Democrates said that was exactly the case.

“What is it that deserts a sinking
ship?” said Darren Dopp, a spokesman for
New York’s Democratic Party and a
former aide to Gov. Mario Cuomo.

Clinton issued a statement Saturday
rejecting D’Amato’s “attempt to link
himself to name or my campaign. I stand
firmly with Bob Abrams.”

Bush, Clinton and Perot show down

The three presidential candidates shake hands with media after debate.

Washington D.C,

(AP) It was a more combative, more
focused president Bush who took the
Stage in the last debate, hammering away
at Democratic Bill Clinton’s record as
governor of Arkansas and repeatedly
raising issues of character and trust.

The three debates were to have been
Bush’s final rally. In the end, they may
have marked his last hurrah.

Bush clearly didn’t his the home run
many Republicans said he needed in the
wrapup showdown in East Lansing,
Mich.

Nor did Clinton stumble.

So that left little in the final debate to
help Bush end his long stall in the polls
and save his presidency.

Independent challenger Ross Perot
used the word “irrelevant” several times.

In the end, that’s how the three debates

Community dinner proclaimed a

over eight days may apply to the election
outcome.

“T think that people were confirmed in
their own opinions,” said Henry Graff,
presidential historian at Columbia
University. Even though Bush came
across stronger Monday night than in the
first two debates. Clinton “represents the
spirit of a generational change in the
making. Bush is last year’s show.
Clinton is the new fall show,” Graff said.

Bush stepped up his attack, seeking to
tar Clinton as a poor governor and an
opportunist with “this pattern” of
waffling.

“You can’t have it both ways,” the
president told Clinton.

Bush repeatedly hit Clinton for his
stewardship of Arkansas, at @ne point
calling the state “the lowest to the low”
and asserting “it’s about time I started

putting things in
perspective.”

“Bush was
more passionate, more
pointed, more focused.
He was even clever,
which is out of
character for Bush,”

said Gtuart
Rothenburgh, a
Republican who
publishes a

nonpartisian political
newsletter.

He said,
Bush’s performance
was “not enough now,
with just two weeks to
go” to alter the likely
outcome of the
election.

hope that the seeds
have now been
planted, and that a lingering doubt about
Clinton’s abilities and his character will
sprout in voters minds come Election
Day.

“we never set our to have the defining
moment come during the debates,” said
Mary Matalin, Bush’s deputy campaign
manager. Instead, the debates are a
package deal. “At the end of them, voters
will understand the nature of the choice
they’Il be making,” she said.

The four debates did offer voters a
chance to get clearer view of the
differences between the candidates.

The candidates at great length
discussed the economy, education, crime,
trade, health care and reforming

Polls favor
Clinton in debate

(AP) Democrrat Bill Clinton was most}

often seen as the winner of Monday]
Inight’s presidential debate but it was
independent Ross Perot whose support}
increased, according to an instant poll.

President Bush’s aggressive
performance was seen as the debate|
‘winner by just two in ten viewers, ABC}
said.

The oll found 36 percent regarded
Clinton as the winner, 26 percent said
Perot won and 21 percent gave the|
victory to Bush. Twelve percent called it
fa tie and the rest didn’t know.

The 710 registered voters in the survey,
had been polled previously about their}
support of Bush was unchanged at 29}
percent. Clinton’s support dropped
slightly from 52 percent to 48 percent,
and enough undecided voters switched to}
Perot to raise his support from 11 percent}
to 19 percent among those plolled. The|
margin of error was 4 points.

Bush’s favorability ratings have
slipped since since the presidential
debates began, and the latest polls before
the final debate gave Clinton leads of 19,)
18 and 17 points. Perot remained aj
distant third in voter support, but his|
favorability ratings surpassed the|
president’s,

Other polls taken after the debate
showed contrasting results. An ABC poll
taken immediately after the debate made’
Clinton out to be the winner, 36 percent,
ito 26 percent for Perot to 21 percent for}
‘Bush. Twelve percent called it a tie and|

A panel of debate coaches who judged

Anabolic steroids are becoming a way
of life for the athletic world, where people
endanger their health and gain an unfair
advantage. The threat of this addictive
drug is a reality at the University of
Albany and at many college campuses.
Steroids, like many drugs, have many
serious side effects. Ironically, the primary
expectations of the drug are for
physiological enhancement, while the
adverse effects can dwindle the body’s
image and health.

Last week a Canadian based firm, All
Star Fitness, mailed an order form for
steroids to at least one SUNYA student.
The company requires a minimum order
of $75 to be paid in cash, money order or
certified check. All Star Fitness that all
orders will be in packaging, marked
“NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS” to
insure your personal security. The mailing
added that a 72 page “STEROID USER
GUIDE BOOK” will be supplied as a
professional manual to show you how to
take steroids safely and effectively.

In an interview with Dr. Ingrid Porter,
Medical Director at the University Health
Center, she advised that “no one should
take steroids, unless in the care of a

physician.” Dr. Porter continued to state
“that other metabolic changes may occur
with the usage of steroids.”

According to Dr. Porter, “Anabolic
steroids tend to build up muscle at an
increased rate and at an increased weight.”
Anabolic steroids enable the body to speed
up the recovery of muscles after
exercising, allowing a more demanding
training schedule to be met.

According to the American Medical
Association, these steroids mimic male
hormones, such as endogenous
testosterone.

Dr. Gary Wadler, Clinical Associate
Professor of Medicine, and Dr. Brian
Hainline, Associate Professor of
Neurology, both from the Cornell
University Medical College have reported
the following side effects correlated with
liver damage and
tumors, acne, hair loss, adrenal gland
damage, a decrease in the size of the
testes, a decrease in HDL cholesterol
(leading to heart disease), infertility and
impotence in men, and virilization in
women. There are also psychological
problems linked to steroids, such as
aggressiveness and violent rages.

Homecoming

Students, Alumni, old

cars, cheerleaders,
football players, mascots,
floats, bands, and all
sorts of wild things took
part in last week's
homecoming celebration
and game. Dozens
turned out along Collins
circle to escort the
parade across campus.

Despite the raucous
send off, intensity and
energy the Red Dragons
stomped the Danes 35-0.
Most Danes did escape
alive though.

tremendous grumblings
begin.

“He is so out of touch

declares “Friend” #2. “I

“I despise him and

“Friend” #3. “And all of

The Stairs
Mexican R'N'B
London Records

The stairs made _ their
appearance in the Capital District
last month coinciding with the
release of their first compilation
entitled Mexican R’N’B. Excluding
the fact that the cover picture
looks as if it was shot at Garcia’s
salad bar and the live show was
preformed at 10,000 decibels, I
quite enjoyed watching them
preform at Bogie’s and
subsequently listening to the CD.

The appearance at one of
Albany’s notable band venues
drew a modest crowd of
rabblerousers and volatile youth
who seemed to whip themselves
into a mild frenzied state during
the faster set pieces. One would be
forced to conclude from that live
encounter that their forte lies in
mastering a more violent
frequency of their music. And
after listening to the CD of
Mexican R'N'B, the harder hitting
music that The Stairs are capable
of playing corhes out as a obvious
choice to appeal to a much larger
audience. This audience would

lean towards metal and thrash
fans rather than the slow tempo of
the majority of their CD. The
songs in which the band uses a
dope motif are comical but more
importantly energetic which make
them excellent examples of the
quality to which The Stairs should
attempt to achieve. These songs
include “Weed Bus” and “Mary
Joanna.’ The other songs of note
are “Flying Machine” and
“Russian R’N’B" and like the other
rockin’ tunes, these are quick
paced and involve‘heavy duty
playing.

So what we are left with is a
band which needs to intensify the
speed of their songs and leave
R'N'B of the mexican persuasion
to bands like Santanna and The
Fabulous Thunderbirds. In
addition, this critic suggests a
change from the habit of recording
in monaural to recording in stereo.
With slight changes in style and
CD quality, hopefully The Stairs
could innovate (if they are lucky)
into maybe The Escalators?

Cycomotogoat
Cycomotogoat
De Es El Records

As soon as my housemate tossed this
CD into my spinach fettucini, I knew I
was in for a treat. I inquired as to the
recent history of the CD which now lay
as a center piece to my italian cuisine. “It
came from Cali, I don’t know, I don’t
know, I don’t know,” was the response.
My reaction to this was to remove the CD
from my dinner and let the dog lick it
clean of pasta. The canine seemed to pay
close attention to it so I surmised that it
was a recording worth listening to if not
worth licking.

The cover resembled the artistry of an
ancient Aztec who had been time-
warped to 1999 and force fed at the
arrow point (an ancient’Aztec would not
know what a gun was) to ingest a
mixture of blotter, quaaludes, and Drano.
I later learned that the artist, Crugie
(that’s Mr. Crugie to you), also scribed
the lyrics which, oddly enough, did not
surprise me in the least. Both the cover
art and the lyrics seemed to compliment
each other, such as five No-Doze would
compliment two pots of extra-strong
coffee.

The body parts of the Cycomtogoat are
as follows; David Ares fondling the bass
and the Hammond organ, David Maltby
and Sanjay Khanna beating the hell out
of the drums and congas, Crugie singing
the vocals and doing things God never
intended to a guitar, John Popper (of
Blues Traveler fame) popping the mouth
harp, Emilio flying on the electric flyolin,
John Siket in charge of musical

munitions and fly sounds, and Susanna
H vocalizing the background vocals. The
Cycomotogoat was mastered by Greg
Vaugh.

The recording begins with a song about
a crazed and highly dangerous gold
trimmed woman entitled “Serenading
Her Soul.” The sound of this melody can
best be described as a Jane’s Addicton
sounding tune with the devil himself
doing background vocals. This is
followed by a song called “You're So
Fine” with John Popper doing his special
thing and David Ares leaning toward
some dangerous bass rifts. With such a
combination, this song does for love
songs what Jonestown Koolaid did for
kids’ drinks. Third in line on the CD is a
tune called “Death Of The Iron Horse”
about the reaction of peyote Indians to
the locomotive. At least I think so. My
confusion lies in the fact that I believe the
song was written when Crugie was on
peyote. The last music is entitled
“Tongue and Groove” and Sanjay
Khanna wails so heavily and tightly
upon the drums that the coffee I was
drinking dissipated because it wasn’t
strong enough to defend itself.

I recommend this CD to true music
fans as vehemently as I recommend
lobotomies to republicans. Buy it when
you see it in the stores or better yet,
convince a friend to buy it and steal it
from them.

Deadly Treats From The ‘Candyman’

There comes a point when you have
seen so many horror movies they no
longer have the power to frighten. At
best, you hope to be entertained, and
if you're lucky, revolted once or twice.

Adam Meyer

Candyman is not just scary, it’s
thought provoking, and those are rare
qualities for a moderately-budgeted
frightfest. 1 would go so far to say
that it may be the best supernatural
horror movie since Hellraiser in 1988,
and it’s probably no coincidence that
novelist and filmmaker Clive Barker
has his name attached to both.

Barker is executive producer but the
movie is a collaboration with
writer/director Bernard Rose who
combines the essential elements of
Barker’s short story “The Forbidden”
with ideas of his own. Candyman deals
with rumor and urban mythology,
and takes time out from bloodletting
to peripherally explore issues such as
racism and lower class existence.

Innercity rumor has it that if you
look in the mirror and say his name
five times, the deadly Candyman will
appear. Sociology students Helen
(Virginia Madsen) and Bernadette
(Kasi Lemmons) record stories about

him for their thesis and decide to
investigate the source of the myth.

Fact and fiction intertwine as they
realize that someone is indeed killing
people in a Chicago project with the
infamous hook that is Candyman’s
trademark. Helen j& %
proves to the
superstitious locals
that their #
murderer is no§
bogeyman, just a
drug pusher.

But now she has “3
incurred the wrath
of the real
Candyman, whose
power over the
people has been
lost since they no
longer believe in
him. And he needs
Helen to restore:
the faith.

On almost every
level Candyman is
a step above the
average movie. le
The acting ranges from good to
excellent, with Madsen turning in a
fine performance as the curious
researcher. Xander Berkely as her
husband keeps the audience off
balance as you question his loyalty to

Helen. As the title character, Tony
Todd proves to be the most engaging
and entertaining horror villain since
Robert Englund as Freddy Kruger.

Ultimately it is Bernard Rose who
deserves the credit, for assembling a
cast of talented
unknowns, handling
them well, and giving
| them a fine script.
Helen is not the brains
optional nymph of
many horror films, but
an educated woman
who acts reasonably
and finds herself
inextricably entwined
inan ancient madness.

The  delapidated
atmosphere of the inner
city is captured well by
Rose. At times the
lighting is excellent, as
when Helen moves
through an abandoned
apartment, but
occasionally the
“darkness” is simply
too well-lit to be effective when there
is activity, Rose gives an unusual
variety of shots, but in the midst of
conversations he tends to simply cut
between close-ups and bland camera
angles.

Candyman flirts with being a genre
classic but never quite achieves that
status because it undermines its own
power. Instead of relying solely on the
disturbing qualities of the story, the
film tries to scare the audience with
false attacks, such as Helen’s husband
suddenly jumping onto the bed with
her. Any jaded viewer won't be jolted,
merely offended at the staleness of
such tricks. There is genuine
suspense, however, such as when
Helen is an abandoned lavatory and
moves along a line of stalls, peering
inside each to see what awaits her.
The last is empty, and the toilet inside
has its lid down—but what’s in it?
This is more than just a scare tactic,
it's a means of effecting surprise and
horror.

In the last few minutes, twice the
film seems as if it ’s going to end and
it should have. The cheesy epilogue is
kind of a Creepshow tack on to what is
an otherwise an intelligent horror

Political Bupkus

Herb Gardner’s current-running Broadway
masterpiece, Conversations With My Father, opens
with a monologue on the value of the spoken word.
It is said that to the Jews that had immigrated from
eastern Europe in the early part of this country, at
times it was better to have nothing than to have
“bupkus”. “Bupkus”, it is explained, means
“beans” in yiddish. It was felt that since beans
often had a lee-than-attractive digestive effect, it
was better to have nothing. It is this same advice
that I would like to impart to the Bush - Quayle
campaign. It seems that in the last week they have
gone from having nothing to say, to having less.

Seth A. Rogin

In an act of political desperation, the Bush
campaign has been attacking Gov. Bill Clinton
because of a trip he took around Europe while a
student in England. Clinton allegedly took part in
organizing foreign protests of the United States’
involvement in the Viet Nam war. As part of Bush’s
endless drive to portray the Arkansas Governor as a
pot-smoking hippie, he has become a gossip
scavenger. Having failed as a President, perhaps
Bush is simply in training to become a columnist for
one of America’s trashier tabloids, the Enquirer, the
Star, or Newsday. There are even rumors that this

forlorn character of soon-to-be infamous political
history will unearth information alleging that
Clinton applied for citizenship in another country
in order to evade the draft. Friends, let us,
members of the university community, all decide,
conclusively, on the validity of Bill Clinton’s so-
called “draft dodging” as a major campaign issue.
If you were a poor child from a somewhat rural
town (as many of us were), if you were the child of
an alcoholic (as too many of us were), if you were
able to work hard enough to become one of the
great minds in your time and achieve perhaps the
highest possible academic honor a student can
reach and were called upon to fight a war in which
you didn’t believe at the sacrifice of both your
educational future and personal self-respect, would
you go?

While Bush continues to attack Clinton’s
judgement and patriotism on this issue, let us
recognize that Bill Clinton thought before he acted.
George Bush admits, in fact announces with pride,
that when he heard his nation’s call he followed
without questioning. Granted, Bush fought in a
celebrated “just” war, but, blind nationalism is a
symptom of ignorance, not leadership. Dare we
follow a man for another four years who is so
blinded by his superficial love for his country and

office that he would rather act, and then think? We
must ask ourselves a simple question on the
qualities we look for in a leader: Brighter or
fighter?

Bush’s next desperation tactic may be to further
expose Al Gore’s statement that “Ross Perot is a
team player”. I don’t know who Gore is attempting
to please, but Ross Perot is a team player with Al
Gore like Lucy Van Pelt is with Charlie Brown on
the football field. Perot, America’s first animated
political cartoon, is the Wiley Coyote of American
politics: he’s never going to beat his opponents, but
he'll try to buy every device to keep trying. It’s too
bad for H. Ross there’s no ACME political
consultants.

It seems that this campaign season is not one of
the issues, but one of manipulation of gossip and
mis-statements. We have moral, political bupkus.
When November 3rd comes around and we have a
choice between four more years of political
flatulation from the Right and eight, I hope, years of
sacrifices with which we can live for hope for the
future, I pray that Albany and America makes the
tight decision. Or else, somebody better light a
match in the Oval Office.

EDITORIAL

Just when you thought it was safe to put your
checkbooks away for at least a little while, surprise!

Guess who’s thinking about tagging on yet another
$100 to your tuition for the Spring ‘"93 term?

If you guessed our friends downtown at SUNY
Central, you’re right on the first try! For those who did guess
correctly, we could have offered a cash prize, but then on
second thought, since anything we offered wouldn’t even

the point?
Granted it’s only a rumor that they’re going to nail
students and their families with yet another tuition increase,
but that’s how things started a year ago, right before the Board
approved its last mid-semester increase.

Some of you might be saying, “What's the big deal?
SUNY is still a great bargain, so what’s another $100?”

Well, for a good percentage of the students at
SUNYA who are holding down one or two jobs to put
themselves through school, it’s a big deal to them. The same
goes for those who are already on financial assistance. They
keep getting dumped on, with no real help from our
administrators and legislators in sight.
Why should our so-called administrative leaders
really care? Why should they put their necks out for the
students and their families when they can take the easy road
by simply making up their budget shortfalls with tuition
increase after increase. When you think about it, most people
have gotten so complacent about what’s being done to them
that they let SUNYA, the Board of Trustees, the Governor and
the Legislature get away with it.
It’s been easy for them, .at least until now.
This Thursday at 11:30 a.m., the Board of Trustees
are supposedly going to discuss the idea of boosting next
semester's tuition up to $1,425.
Now, if you were a Board member faced with a
huge budget shortfall and you had two choices- to either
simply raise the tuition rates or bust down some legislators’
doors and possibly break a nail, which route would you take?
For most of you, the answer is fairly obvious. But
then the question naturally becomes, “What are you going to
do about it?”

What will you be doing this Thursday moming at
11:30? Will you be going to class like you always do each day,
dismissing what's being done to you as something you can’t
be concemed with-or will you be the ones to let the Board see
who their budget games are affecting?
To each student who's working his/her way through
school, you have to decide what's more important to you on
this one day. If you decide you simply can’t handle a third job,
then it’s pretty clear where you need to be Thursday.
This isn’t going to be a fire and brimstone piece. No
preaching here. Now that you know our pals on the Board are
inching closer to yet another hike, it’s up to you to decide
what to do.
While it wouldn't be right to tell you what you
should do, it’s a different story for our “leaders” right here at
SUNYA. Starting with good ol’ H.P Swygert on down, these
folks should be leading the charge against a tuition increase.
Why? For the same reason so many services at SUNYA are
being slashed left and right-it’s easier to do this rather than
find the money elsewhere.
At the very least, Swygert-if he really is looking out
for the best interests of the students- should ask all the
Professors to allow their students to leave class to go
downtown so that they can let the Board know who will be
affected by their decisions. ,
And if Swygert were to be really a radical dude,
what a headline it would make in the morning paper:

I got big sideburns. Big ones. The kind that make people
go, "Hey, look, he has big sideburns." They cover most of
my cheeks and are pointy. Many people ask me why, or
would like to but feel it would be rude. They're right. Its
none of anybodies business but mine. Standing in an
elevator alone with another person, I may make them feel
uncomfortable by my outstanding facial hair. Tough.
Tollerate me.

You may be saying, "Hey there, I don't think the stupid
looks you get for looking like a grade-A idiot is as
serious as a black lesbian double-amputee with Tourettes
Syndrome. Infact, you sound like a Jewish, middle-class
white male." Which I am, but I have discovered that
maybe my complaint is not as immature as I thought it
once was.

“University President yells “Hell no, Mario!” , Chains
himself to Governor's Mansion! Says SUNY can't take
anymore cuts.” Oh what « sight that would be, eh?.

‘The way things are going, for the Legislature to get
the message that its habitual cuts to SUNY are slowly
destroying the country’s largest public university system, this
is probably what it’s going to take.

But you probably won't see that happen. In the
President's absence, if you're one of those who won't be able
to sit through class knowing what's being done to you, here’s
the directions to get to SUNY Central where the Board is
meeting Thursday, as well as the schedule for the Wellington ,
which you'll need to take to get there.

Directions:

1, Take the Wellington all the way to Eagle St.

2. Walk down State St. hill down to SUNY Central.
3. Take the elevator all the way up to the Board
Room.

A man ina SUNYA sweatshirt
commented, "Lettucehead" under
his breath at one of the members
of my party, who happened to have
green hair not unlike shredded
lettuce. Well she felt entitled to
respond “Pencil-Dick Jock".

There are those who are pierced in their noses, nipples,
and lips. You may feel this is a vulgar corruption of the
flesh, and Jooks pretty grisly to boot. Why would they
want to do that when it makes them a walking spectacle
when they trot down the street? That is personal, and
none of your business. Tough. Tollerate it.

Some people on this campus have tattoos. You may
recoil or feel sorry for these youths who have foolishly
marked their bodies permenantly for life and will have to
suffer its stigma forever. In this ‘multi-cultural’
University, not everybody feels this way. If students here
have tattooed themselves, please feel free to presume that
they, too, have probably thought about the potential
problems a permanent marking on their bodies will bring
through life. Perhaps a tattooed person have thought more
about these issues than your averagejoe. And keep your
comments to yourself unless called for.

I remember once when I was a sophomore, I was tiding

One of a largish bunch of men in SUNYA sweatshirts

entitled to respond (under her breath ofcourse) "Pencil-
Dick Jock". A fight almost ensued on Quail street and
nobody was happy.

If someone has manipulated their body by choice and
in a very public manner (such as a nose-ring, arm tattoo
or a shaved head), this is not a license to anybody who
can see it to comment on it. Gawking is TOLERATED
(but no, Mom, its not the whole point) but abuse is not.
Yes, an unwelcomed comment, regardless of its content is
not very politically correct. So if you feel the urge to
make a comment, the subject of your comment may feel
fit to respond in an unfriendly way. And none of us want
that. This only breeds tension and friction, which
contribute to the ills that our ‘mulit-cultural' cirriculum.

When we were in high school, everyone went through
the phase of feeling that everybody is looking at you.
There were different ways of reacting to this - becoming
a slob or a prep or a homey or a beauty queen or, dare say
it, a freak. While this may seem like role-playing or ,
dressing in costume, dress played an all-important role in
defining who we were when we knew no better. An uncut
head of hair could say more than, "Hi, I need a cut!" It
could say, "Zowee! I'm free and freaky, learning new and
wonderful things everyday that they would never dare
teach in school!!"

Supposedly, now that we are in University, we have
passed through that ‘phase’ and have grown, matured, and
learned that appearance is something to be used to
express yourself but, more importantly, fit in, For some
People, yes, it is a question of maturity. They will follow
their lives as they will. But for some, it is NOT.
(Remember, ‘multi-cultural’, tolerance, thousand points of
light.)

There are members of the student body who choose to
express themselves through appearance above and
beyond what the status quo may find exceptable. Perhaps
spending hours in the bathroom with a dryer and
hairspray is typical on this campus (for both male and
female), but to choose purple spikes instead of a big
poofy boufant marks somebody. Why?

None of your business. I am not adressing that issue. I
am adressing the issue of tolerance. Tolerance of
diversity. Big diversity and SMALL, seemingly
NEEDLESS diversity. What is needless for you makes
others happy and hurts noone, perhaps not even the ones
who pierce and scar their bodies. Our definitions of not
only what is acceptable but what is ‘negative’ must be
redefined if we hope to ever live in a true ‘multi-cultural’
comunity. In our search to eradicate the scourge of
homophobia, racism and relgious intolerance, we must
not forget the little issues, like the difference between
pencil-dick Jocks and Lettuceheads.

If SUNYA is making you tense,
anxious or uptight don't keep it
bottled up. Let out all your
animosities on the editorial
pages of the ASP. Bring all
letters and columns to the 3rd
floor of the campus center.

LETTERS —

Crisis over Columbus

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to the ASP editorial on
Tuesday October 13th. First, I want to correct the error
made by the author in believing that the purpose of the
voyage of Columbus was to prove a theory that the earth
was round. I understand that this is what we were taught
to believe through the myth of Christopher Columbus,
but it is wrong.

During the time of Columbus it was already proven
that the world was round. It was taken as common
knowledge. In fact, Columbus used this knowledge to
explain the reason for his voyage. He wanted to get to
Asia, the land of the riches, by way of the ocean instead
of by way of Africa like the Portuguese were doing. The
Portuguese were trying to get to Asia via Africa because
to go by sea was believed to be impossible to do. They
knew that the earth was round and therefore Asia could
be reached by sea eventually. They also believed that
the sea was inhabited by monsters and so it would be a
very dangerous mission.

Exploration, at this time, was not just for the sake of
finding out what is out there, but rather to find out where
the riches were and how to get them.

My second comment deals with the debate on wether
or not we should celebrate this day that Columbus
collided into the New World. We should not look at the
voyage as good versus evil, or weak versus strong but
rather it goes beyond that. We should, however, look at
the impact of the voyage and the consequences that we
see even today rather than focus on Christopher
Columbus himself. We should now be focusing on how
we can use this new perspective to better understand one
another and our different cultures. We should not be

looking to see how bad Christopher Columbus was and
the Europeans that followed him and how they
practically decimated an entire continent of people. Of
course I am not saying we should condone it and
embrace what happened either. What I am saying is that
we have been given the opportunity to re-examine the
voyage of Columbus in a new and critical light.

Now that Columbus Day is over, we can sit back and
reflect on how far we have come regarding what
happened back in 1492. It is time for history to be more
conscious, more culturally aware, more “politically
correct”. Maybe its because it’s also the year in which
we elect a president and we see how much or how little
has changed in regards to discrimination in the United
States. All I know is that this year Native Americans
seem to be getting at least some of the recognition that
they deserve in this part of history.

Although they still are not getting the full credit on
their part of the story, at least it’s a start; a turning point,
maybe? After all, Native Americans were not
“discovered”. They knew where they were all along.

It is exactly this type of language used that has
distorted the actual process of the contact. If we are
going to talk about this time in history, why don’t we call
it for what it is. Maybe we should be thinking of new
terms to describe it. How about “Christopher Columbus
thought he was in Asia but he was actually in North
America Day”? Or what about “The Day When Two
Worlds Clashed with Each Other”? Too long? We
could just change the focus altogether and call it
“Cultural Awareness Day” or maybe even better, “Native
American Day”,

Recruit Native -Americans
To the Editor:

As of the 1992, Fall Semester, we have enrolled at our
University 1200+ African Americans, 800+ Latinos,
800+ Asian Americans, and yet we only have, what 10
Native Americans with tribal affiliations on campus.
How can it be that our university has such a low number
enrolled here at Albany.

The fact is that the Administration at the University
has not made any effort to recruit Native Americans for
this University. I, as President of the Native American
Council, have made attempts to contact the President of
this University to speak on these urgent matters. As of
this date, I still have received no communication back
from the president’s office.

Back in 1988, there were 500 Latinos, 600 African
Americans, and about 100-200 Asian Americans. Due to
Affirmative Action, this University has made great
strides in increasing the numbers substantially of
minorities on campus. Through EOP, Africana Studies,
Latin American Carribean Studies, ASUBA, and Fuerza
Latina, we have dramatically increased, especially over
the last four years.

Now it’s our tum. Dr. Sung Bok Kim told me that
Native Americans hardly apply here. Well of course,
they hardly apply here because there are several issues
that they are concerned about. One of them is
recruitment. This University has not made any great
effort in contacting the reservations in New York State
as to tell them about the University of Albany. The
Administration has also not made any effort to contact
the American Indian Community House, Inc. in New
York City. New York City has the highest Native
Population rate in New York State. New York City has a
Native American Population of 26,000 which is larger
than the largest Iriquois reservation, the St. Regis,
Akwesasne-Mohawk reservation, which is only 3 hours
away next to the Canadian Border. Akwesasne has a
population of 5,500 and is the most active reservation in
New York State.

This University is an ideal place for Native Americans
to come to. The University is located on Mohawk land.
Less than 500 years ago, The Capital District was
occupied by the Mohawk and the Mahicans. This is
originally where they had the settlements and forts. The
historical significance of this land is not the only reason.
For Native Americans, this University is perfectly
situated. It is the closest University convenient for
Natives in New York City where the Native teen
population is 3,000. New York City’s best universities
are of exuberant costs, whether it’s Columbia, New York
University, St John’s, or Fordham University. These
nationally ranked universities are far of a cost to us,
Native Americans. Most of us do not come from
established families, we still reside in poverty in New
York City. Asa minority, this is an ideal place because
it is economically cheaper, has an outstanding reputation
and is conveniently close to Akwesasne, the Syracuse-

Oneida Reservation, and the Reservations in Canada,
wether it is the Inuit, Cree, Algonquin, or the Mohawk.
We in the Native American Council this semester expect
to increase the number of Native Americans on campus.
If the Native population is 10, we expect to increase it to
50 this year. The support services we will provide by
over the next three years is 1) the establishment of a
Native American Minor or Concentration under the
Anthropology Dept, 2) Native American Interest
Housing, and 3) of the Native Americans who hold
faculty positions on the University, and to those Native
Americans who are in the Graduate School Program, to
ask them to serve as support and advisement for the new
Native Americans which come to this University over
the next few years.

Join us in our effort to change the system. Pressure
the Administration for necessary changes.

Benjamin Islas
President Native American Council, SUNY Albany

In support of D'Amato

To the Editor:

As a member and representative of the SUNY Albany
Campus Republicans, I would like to offer a rebuttal to
Mr. Luks editorial, "Say no to D'Amato", (October 2,
1992)

Mr. Luks excoriated Senator D'Amato's record of
allegedly protecting "big corporate polluters," in his
editorial.. However Mr. Luks left out the fact that
Senator D'Amato has fought for the interests of every
citizen in this state, and in the nation,

Senator D'Amato voted for a raise in minimum wages;
he voted for a Constitutional Amendment which would
have made physical desecration of the United States
Flag, a Federal crime. The Senator also voted to reduce
the number of US forces in Europe by 30,000; as well for
a 50% reduction in Federal Aid to El Salvador.
Furthermore, he voted against appropriations specified
for building two B-2 bombers.

This past week, Senator D'Amato staged a 15 hour
filibuster on the floor of the Senate so that a provision to
the tax bill before the Senate would be added, in order to
keep the last U.S. based Smith-Corona typewriter plant
open, which is located in New York State. This
provision would have allowed 875 workers to keep their
jobs at this plant instead of losing them to cheap labor in
Mexico. This bill would have also protected US
manufactured goods and services as it would have
prohibited foreign companies from dumping their
products into American markets at prices below cost.
You would never see Rob Abrams waging such a war;
especially when almost every other Senator wanted to
finish business and get on with a recess.

Mr. Luks also neglects to mention that Mr. Abrams
waged a no-holds- barred, mudslinging campaign against
fellow democrat, Geraldine Ferraro. According to exit
polls, Mr. Abrams won by 1% of the vote, which was
caused by voter distrust after Mr. Abrams’ smear
campaign against Ms. Ferraro, which alleged that she
had ties to organized crime, due to her Italian-American
descent. We can next expect Mr. Abrams to do the same
thing to Senator D'Amato; after all, he's Italian-American
also, isn't he?

A great majority of Italian-American's are still
extremely offended by these remarks. But Mr. Luks also
neglected to mention that Mr. Abrams’ actions reached
far beyond the Italian-American community. According
to i i wswi ‘vil
Qctober 8, 1992: "A leading Hispanic politician
denounced Abrams ‘for failing to speak out against
ethnic slurs.’ A Jewish leader said Abrams was missing
wheit they needed him during last year's Crown Heights
disturbances while Senator D'Amato ‘was right there
from the start.'"

Senator D'Amato is the fighting Senator of New York.
He will defy partisan politics, when necessary, to insure
that everyone in his constituency is served. He may not
be well liked by some of his colleagues in the Senate
because he is a Senator who is for the people, and he is
the one who gets the job done in the end.

If yo would like more information or would like to
volunteer for the D'Amato campaign, please contact
Senator D'Amato's Albany office at 518-463-2244; or
write them at 420 Leo O'Brien Federal Building, Albany,
NY 12207. The Campus Republicans will be meeting
every Monday evening at 8:00 PM in LC 13.

On behalf of the SUNYA Campus Republicans, I
wholeheartedly endorse Senator D'Amato for re-election
to the U.S. Senate.

“This is a poem about my love
for my daughters.” she
explained, before reading her
poem “Notes For My

Daughters”. “They were grown
when I left (for Jerusalem)... I
now miss them
tremendously...and this makes
our reunions all that much more
special.”, she added. She also
discussed her grandparents’
move from Eastern Europe to
Canada and onward to Seattle.

“From One Life To Another is
about my move to Israel.”
Kaufman said. She moved to
Israel with her husband, a native
Israeli professor she met in the
USS. She arrived in Israel before
the war in October of 1973.
Kaufman said she feels her
poem, “Stones”, is somewhat
ironic because she wrote it just
before the Palestinians
undertook the tactic of stone
throwing. When asked
afterwards about her feelings
regarding the current state of
Arab-Israeli relations, she said,
“Relations are getting better...it’s
a tragic old dispute...we have to
learn to live together.”

about Kaufman’s “softer” style

answered, “Sometimes I’m

Later, when asked in private

no better” than they do, added
Campbell.

Campbell said women and
men both need to examine their
own values and behaviors in
order to understand them. For
example, according to Campbell,
men need to recognize there is
still a double standard placed on
women, their sexual behavior,
and how they dress. He cited a
recent survey which showed that
“many men still believe women
deserve (to be raped) because of
what they wear.” Campbell also
claimed “there are mindsets and
attitudes that make rapists
engage in activities that get in

trouble.”

Campbell believes there is a
solution to this problem. His
efforts are aime at “getting men
involved...to look at the
problems between the genders.”
Unfortunately, he said, “many
men don’t want to hear those
messages.” It’s a painful topic
“that makes them uncomfortable,
“ Campbell said. “It’s something
they don’t want to happen to
their mothers an sisters,” He
claimed we need to learn about
our own sexuality. “We need to
get rid of the lies and the
stereotypes,” he said. He urged
everyone to “challenge it whin
you hear something that’s not
tight”, and encouraged people to
“stop the games we play for

relationships and for affection.”

Steroids
Continued from page 4

“Dangers occur when the
steroids are discontinued because
the body’s own production is
halted, as well. There is a
waiting period
before the body
begins
reproducing the
natural
hormones,”
indicates Dr.

Porter.

On May 14th
of this year,
Lyle Alzado, an
NFL all-pro,

died of brain cancer at the age of
forty-three. He attributed his
deteriorating condition to the
intense use of anabolic steroids.
During the 1988 Olympic games
in Seoul, Ben Johnson won the
gold medal and was later
stripped of it after testing
positive to steroids.

In conclusion, Dr. Porter

stated, “Evidence indicates that
giving steroids to fully grown
adults does not cause an increase
in muscular, skeletal bulk. It
does make people retain water,
decrease sperm count, feminize
breasts and make you more
subject to liver disorders, such as
cancer.”

Lady Danes
respectable at
lthaca T'ment

By Rochelle Keum Yun Lee
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

With half its starting line-up out due to}
injury and illness, Albany volleyball)
finished a very respectable 3-3 at Ithaca}
this past weekend.

Albany started the tournament by)
playing Rochester Institute 0:
Technology, ranked number one in the,
state and in the top ten nationally.

They lost in straight sets, 11-15, 5-15.
After losing the first set to Nazareth]
College, 12-15, Albany came back to
win,. 15-6, 15-9.

Later that night, they played the
University of Rochester, ranked sixth in|
ithe state. They lost. 3-15, 12-15, which|
lwas deemed “respectable” by Albany]
Coach Patrick Dwyer.

The following morning, Albany}
crushed Keuka College in straight sets,
15-5, 15-3.

They then went on to beat Nazareth!
again, this time in straight sets, 15-12,
15-2.

Finally, they were defeated by the|
University of Rochester, 15-7, 12-15, 6-
15.

“We came close to beating them,”
Dwyer said. “We’d have gone to the
semi-finals [if we won].”

The second set, according to Dwyer,
“was a close game, It’s hard to come|
back from.”

“It was a little disappointing, but
overall it was a good weekend,” he!
added.

This weekend, Keuka College,
Nazareth College, New Paltz, andj
Rutgers University will come to Albany
for the Purple and Gold Tournament,|

which begins at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.

Sprague saves more than Game Two

Allanta
(AP) With a single swing, Ed Sprague did
more for U.S.-Canadian relations than all
the border guards who wave citizens
across from one country into the next
with hardly more than a driver’s license
and a smile.

When the little used Blue Jay pinch-
hitter from Stockton, Calif., drove a first
pitch, two run home run into the left field
seats Sunday night, he did more than just
claim Game 2 of the series for Toronto.

He salvaged what, until then had been a
disastrous weekend for denizens of the
Great White North and the baseball club
they’ve adopted for their own.

Insecurity has always colored
Canadians’. feeling about their
relationship to baseball and their bullying
neighbors to the south. And the the
Southern in-hospitality they were shown
in these parts on their inaugural World
Series visit had most of them seeing red.

On Saturday, the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution’s World Series special
section was banned with the headline,
“This is OUR game!!” as though the sport
the Blue Jays had beaten the rest of the
American League at was not baseball, but
curling or hockey or that other much
beloved Canadian pastime: synchronized
swimming.

The brief editorial that appeared below
went on to make Canadians and the Blue
Jays sound like some modern day Attila
the Hun“ riding across the border trying
to wrest away the Holy Grail of American
sport and cart off our game off to the
frozen north.

That would have been insult enough.
But what followed Sunday threatened to
Taise even more hackles than the long-
running feud between the two nations
over ownership of Peter Jennings.

to under
game (359.2).

¢ Danes’ season average of yards

A U.S. Marine color guard from
Atlanta trooped out onto the turf before
the game for the playing of both national
anthems with the Canadian flag- a red
maple leaf flanked by two vertical red
bars turned UPSIDE DOWN.

Though both Toronto newspapers and
CBS were flooded with angry calls from
Canadian viewers, none of the Blue Jays,
all of whom are Americans or Latins,
Immediately learned of the snafu because
they had remained in the clubhouse
during the pre-game ceremonies.

Fortunately cooler heads prevailed and
quickly. In a statement issued in the
bottom of the second inning, a major
league officials apologized “ to the people
of Canada and to all baseball fans for the
unintentional improper display,” and the
ballplayers, at least, accepted.

Sort of anyway.

“Let’s just hope that this was a
mistake,” Toronto manager Cito Gaston
said. “I’ve said this was not a battle of the
countries.”

But an altogether different controversy
flared not long after the first gaffe.
Trailing 1-0 in the fourth, the Blue Jays
had a run stolen away after umpire Mike
Reilly called Roberto Alomar out on a
play when replays of the tape clearly
show him to be safe.

“The important thing is that we didn’t
let it get us down,” Toronto reliever
David Wells said. “Thanks to Ed, we

regrouped.”

Thus, If all Spragues homer
accomplishes was to render those
injustices moot, it would have been
enough but there was even more.

At last summer’s Olympics in
Barcelona, Spragues wife, Kristen Babb-
Sprague, defeated world champion Sylvie
Frechette, a Canadian, for the solo
synchronized swimming gold medal

because of a scoring error by a Brazilian
judge.

The judge first gave Frechette a score
of 8.7, then said she meant to mark
Frechette higher but could not because of
a computer glitch. Even so, a referee
disallowed the change and an appeals jury
concurred, and Sprague made it worse
with some callous remarks not long
afterwards.

But after Sunday night’s heroics, he
had reason to believe that he might be
forgiven.

“The only people I was popular with
was the media," Sprague said. “They
were the ones writing bad stories about
me. I think that I was misquoted a little
bit in saying that I didn’t think or care
what the Canadian people thought about
my wife winning a gold medal.”

“But hopefully,” he added, “they’ll start
liking me again.”

“Hopefully.”

The rest of the Blue Jays, however did
not share his concerns. They knew they
would be welcomed like conquering
heros as soon as they clear customs in
Toronto.

“Our fans have always been great to us
and the visiting teams,” Wells said.

“T still get a kick when we go
somewhere, like Oakland last week, and
some fan yells, ‘Go back home!’ I’m
always tempted to yell back, Hey, check
out the hometowns on our roster. We are
home !”

“Tt doesn’t bother me anymore,” he
added. “But I guarantee you the Braves
won’t hear any of that stuff at our place.”

Assuming, of course, that they get
through customs in time to make
Tuesday’s game.

Pfeil reminds his team, “We have the ability to be the’

With a continued effort, Albany may be able to

Danes handle Stony Brook with ease, 3-1

By Matt Fineman
STAFF WRITER

The Albany men’ soccer team had little
difficulty Saturday in attaining their tenth
win of the season, a 3-1 victory over the
Stony Brook Patriots. In front of a big
Homecoming crowd, the Danes’ record
improved to 10-0-2.

Albany has now gone through 23
straight regular season games without a
loss.

The Danes remain undefeated with four
big games to play, including what head
coach Roy Pfeil calls “hell week”. Pfeil’s
hell week refers to the scheduled week
from October 24 thru the 31st.

During this week Albany will face
three top soccer programs. On the 24th,
Albany travels to Hobart College. It then
hosts SUNY Binghamton and SUNY
Cortland on the 28th and 3lst,
respectively.

All of this looms important with
fulfilling the team’s goal: reaching the
NCAA Tournament.

In Saturday’s contest, Albany put the
Patriots on the defense early. Displaying
their skilled passing attack, the Danes
moved the ball around nicely to get into
Stony Brook territory.

Within the first five minutes Mike
Avallone had already attempted three
long throw-ins. Offensively, Avallone’s
throws are as good as a corner-kick, they
press the defense and create scoring
opportunities.

On Avallone’s fourth long throw,
forward Paul Feeny capitalized and
headed in a score at the near post. With
37:41 remaining in the first half, Albany
led 1-0.

When the clock was stopped showing
31:13, Albany had grabbed a 2-0 lead.
Once again, Avallone assisted with
another long throw-in. This time it was
Billy “Crusher” Muller providing the
header goal.

This one was nearly a replay of Feeny’s
goal, which came only six minutes earlier.
The assist was Avallone’s eighth of the
season. Avallone is referred to as “instant
offense Avallone” by Pfeil.

Albany remains undefeated through 12 games.
“We went through half a season(1990)
without knowing that Mike could throw
like he does,” Muller said. “He is such an
offensive weapon that without him we
might score half as many goals, and some
games might not have been wins. “
Avallone and Muller indicate a big
reason for the team’s success. AS
sweeper and stopper respectively, the two

are the anchors of a defense that has now
let in only five goals in 12 games.

Also, the play of Paul O’Looney and
Kevin Lehman at fullback combine
speed, skill, and toughness at the
necessary position. Of the four defenders,
all are seniors but O’Looney, a junior.

“It’s our third year together and we
know each other so well. We’re almost
interchangeable back there,” Muller
explained. “We go into every game

expecting a shutout. We force the other
team into making a perfect shot to score.‘

Midway through the second half, Rich
Ferber booted the ball into the goalie box
of Stony Brook from 50 yards out. While
the Patriot goaltender left the net to make
a play, one of his defenders headed the
ball 20 feet in the air.

The ball came down near the 18-yard

line on the left side to a wide open Marty
Hearney. Hearney displayed excellent
composure in one-timing the ball into the
vacated net.

The first half finished 3-0 Albany.

With a three-goal lead the rout was-on
on right? Wrong. With numerous
substitutions, Albany never maintained a
consistent offensive attack thereafter.

The Patriots’ Neil McKenna scored
eight minutes into half number two. On a
direct kick from 25 yards out, McKenna
placed a shot perfectly to the far post in
the upper right corner.

It was the third goal against Albany
starters and the fifth goal against the team
this season, It was the lone blemish on
Albany goalkeeper John Jacobs’ day.

Pfeil was a bit disappointed with his
team’s play, particularly in the second
half. “It’s just a victory. Aside from the
throw-ins this was just a 1-1 game,” he
said. “We didn’t play very well. In fact, it
was kind of ugly. “

“We have to play much better than this
to make the NCAA’s,” he added
ominously.

These last few games will be a major
test of this team’s character. On Tuesday
they travel to Poughkeepsie where they
will face Vassar College. Vassar has
already defeated some quality opponents,
so the Danes will be on guard.

Pfeil stressed the importance of the
Vassar game. “If we don’t beat Vassar
then hell week is meaningless,” he
expressed, “The Vassar game must be a
win.”

Albany’s program should remain strong
in the years to come with Pfeil as coach,

The Great Dane defense was

A crowd of 1,344 saw the Red

compiling their sixth straight win
and their ninth win in 16
meetings against Albany since
the series started in 1976.

Sophomore running back
Chris Rosello and senior RB
Mike Imperato also lost fumbles.

Cortland capitalized on the
turnovers and used outstanding
play by its special teams to score
its points.

After an
Albany drive
stalled at its own
35-yard line, Tim
Kreytak came on
to punt. Cortland
senior cornerback
Tony Fruscio
broke through line

punt.

The Red Dragons forced the
Danes to punt after three plays
on their next drive. This time,
senior tight end/punter Eric
Hawkins came on to punt.
Hawkins, punting into the wind,
could manage only a seven-yard
punt, and Cortland took over at
the Danes’ 30-yard line.

After two runs by freshman
tailback Lamont McPherson
netted six yards, the Red
Dragons were faced with a third
and four situation. A draw to
McPherson was stuffed by the
Danes for a loss of a yard, but
Cortland elected to go for it on
fourth and five.

Red Dragon senior
quarterback Brian Wild kept the
ball on fourth down and ran five
yards to obtain the first down.

Faced with a third and eight
from the Albany 18, Wild hit
McPherson with a pass out of the
backfield for an eight-yard gain

The Danes looked to regroup
at halftime, but another mistake
on the opening play of the
second half changed Albany’s
state of mind in an instant.

After taking the opening
kickoff, Albany had a first and
ten from their own 20. Laap
pitched right to Rosello, who
fumbled as he was snowed under
by the Cortland defense behind
the line of scrimmage.

Fruscio, who earlier had
blocked a punt, picked up the
ball and ran it in from 11 yards
out. It put the Red Dragons up
28-0 and killed the Danes
chances for a second half
comeback.

Another Albany turnover set
up the final touchdown. After a
17-yard gain on a run through
the middle, Imperato was nailed
in the back and coughed up the
ball. Red Dragon freshman
