SA defends voucher autonomy

Univ. may seek control of SA agency accounts

By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER

Student Assocation is negotiating
with Vice President of Student Af-
fairs Frank Pogue about the Univer-
sity’s power to sign vouchers for
agency accounts, according to SA
President Steve Gawley.

Agency accounts are for student
groups that are not funded by SA,
but hold their monies in SA. All
transactions are made through SA,
similar to a bank.

For any agency account to spend
money, a voucher must be signed by
both the SA Controller and the
group. Current agency accounts in-
clude class councils, Telethon, the
Disabled Van Fund, the Albany Stu-
dent Press and the Accounting Club.

The aim of the university is to give
Director of Campus LIfe Jim
Doellefeld the power of a third
signature on all agency vouchers, SA
Controller Eric Schwartzman an-
nounced to Central Council
Wednesday.

According to Schwartzman, along
with the authority to sign vouchers,
Doellefeld would have the option
not to sign them.

Central Council passed by ac-
clamation a resolution against the
added signature. Copies of the
resolution were sent to Pogue,
Doellefeld, President O’Leary, the
Albany Student Press and the Stu-
dent Voice .

According to Schwartzman, the
impetus for the proposal was a visit
from New York State auditors hired
by the University to look at SA’s ac-
counts. ‘We have our own auditors
and I think they are using the visit of
state auditors as an excuse,”’ he said.
SA has an audit every year by a ma-
jor accounting firm.

“I’m convinced that in the next
few years we will have no agency ac-

counts,’’ said Schwartzman before
Central Council Wednesday night.

According to Gawley, Pogue is
“Jeaning towards this policy, but
also is willing to negotiate and wants
to incorporate our [SA’s] opinions.’’

Pogue said, ‘I am still meeting
with members of my staff and we
have not made any decision.”” Pogue
added that a decision like this could
be made by the University President
alone.

Gawley said at Council, ‘Vice
President Pogue was probably not
aware ofhow much opposition he
would receive.”

A University control on agency ac-
count vouchers is very controversial
to several key Central Council
members. Academic Affairs Chair
Michael Miller said it would be one
more in a series of administrative
controls to grab the monies from the
mandatory student activity fee.

“The fight over the mandatory
student activity fee is the most im-
portant issue SA will face in the
coming years,” he said to Council.

The controversy stems from the
fact that agency accounts are not
student tuition monies, but rather
monies voluntarily generated by
students on campus. Miller added
that he was not expecting the ad-
ministration to go after agency
accounts.

Larry Hartman, SA’s Student Ac-
tion Chair, said he. felt Central
Council’s resolution was a ‘‘good
token gesture.”’ He agreed that this
is a precursor of things to come.
“The University will try to gain more
funds,” he said.

Internal Affairs chair Nathaniel
Charny said, ‘they (the administra-
tion) want to do SA’s bookkeeping
and programming for us.” He added
that the university views students as
“‘kids who don’t know how to take

control.””

Mark Rivers, Intercollegiate
Athletics Chair, said, ‘‘it is like go-
ing into my friend’s wallet and tak-
ing (his) money.” Rivers added that
he definitely feels confident to fight
this “because we are getting the
jump on it now.””

According to Steve Landis, vice
chair of Internal Affairs, ‘‘we are
against the move because it involves
money collected by students for
students.’”” Landis also called the
move ‘‘an abomination of students’
rights.””

“It seems so’simple, and so small
(a step) but then why does the
university want it and why will it
push so hard for it in the future,’’
said Landis.

There has been some speculation
about the timing of the proposal. “It
is trying to be slipped through the
new administration,”’ said Gawley.

Charny said it was good timing on
the university’s part. He added that
last year, the bus fees were raised ‘‘as
summer approach
According to Landis, Melvin Lowe,
a City University of New York
(CUNY) chair has recently been
ousted for misfeasance of the man-
datory student activity fees. “Our
university adminstrastion worried it
could happen on this campus,’’ said
Landis.

Investigations, oversight, and
analysis chair Micheal Brocci said
things won’t be drastically different.
“They will fund dean’s. councils
rather that politically oriented
groups,’’ he said.

Brocci added that the university
sees a crack in the door and is trying
to get a foot in the door. “‘There will
be no say of how to spend money
and it might just happen that we lose
legal services and the test bank,”’ he
said. Oo

Univ. expected to
pass plus/minus
grading system

By Pam Conway
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Transcripts may look different in the future if the
University Senate approves a proposal for the im-
pelmentation of a plus-minus grading system.

The proposal was passed unanimously by the
Senate’s Undergraduate Academic Committee (UAC)
last Friday and is sheduled to be voted on by the Senate
May 5.

Harry Hamilton, associate vice president for
academic affairs and dean of undergraduate studies,
said he predicts that the plus-minus grading system will
easily pass the senate vote.

“I feel it will pass,’? said Hamilton. “It hasn’t
received a lot of controversey up until now and I can’t
see where opposition to it will appear.”

Also scheduled to come before Senate vote on May 5
is a proposal to raise the criteria for graduating with
honors. This proposal also passed UAC but was on
vote shy of being a unanimous decision.

Current standards for honors degrees are set at a
gtade point average of 3.0 for cum laude, 3.4 for
magna cum laude, and 3.7 summa cum laude. Under
the new system, those standards would increase to
3.25, 3.5, and 3.75, according to UAC student member
Terry Corallo.

Another proposal which may also come before the
Sefiate on May 5 calls for the raising of the criteria for
makirig Dean’s List from 3.0 to 3.5. However, this pro-
posal has not yet passed UAC.

Corallo said that UAC has tabled the proposal until
its next meeting in order to discuss it further. If the
proposal for raising the criteria for honors degree is
passed, the Dean’s List proposal should also be passed
because the two “‘go hand in hand,”’ said Corallo.

Corallo cast the one negative UAC vote for the
honors proposal, claiming that implementing the
system in 1987 would be unfair to members of the class
of ‘87 because its members would not have enough
time to raise their grades to meet honors standards.
Corallo is vice president of the 1987 class council.

However, Hamilton said that although the new stan-
dards for an honors degree would be implemented in
1987, it would then only affect those students
graduating in 1988.

Raising the criteria for honors degrees is also a good
idea, said Hamilton. Currently, over 50 percent of
SUNYA students graduate with honors, said
Hamilton, adding that the new system would lower
that figure to about 35 percent, making “honors earn-
ed by the students more valuable.”

According to Hamilton, if the Senate passes the plus-
minus grading proposal, it is uncertain when it will be
implemented.

“The actual implementation time is guided by the
ability for computers to handle it,’’ said Hamilton, ad-
ding that the current switching of the SUNYA com-
puter system from Sperry to IBM will cause delays.

“ It is unlikely that it (plus-minus grading) will be in
the fall of 1987,”’ said Hamilton, adding that it would
probably be implemented ‘‘shortly thereafter.”

Hamilton said that he feels students are in support of
a plus-minus grading system, citing a poll conducted by
the Student Association which reflected this.

As the plus-minus grading proposal stands now,
grades will range from a D minus to an A said Corallo.

U.S. carrier deployed

= Washington, D.C.
(AP) The Navy Wednesday sent a second
aircraft carrier to sea in the Mediterranean
in case President Reagen decides to order a
military strike against Libya, Pentagon
sources said.

The Coral Sea sailed from Malaga,
Spain, early this morning, Eastern time,
and was steaming toward the Central
Mediterranean.

But the sources, who demanded
anonymity, said no orders had been issued
for the Coral Sea and the America, which
left port in Italy a day earlier, to reform a
battle group.

The Coral Sea had been scheduled to
end a six-month deployment and sail for
the United States. But that carrier and the
America, which had been scheduled to sail
from Livorno, Italy, for Cannes, France,
were changed, officials said Wednesday.

Guinness kidnapped

Dublin, Ireland
(AP) Three masked gunmen kidnapped
Jennifer Guinness, whose husband’s fami-
ly made a fortune as brewers and bankers,
from her home outside Dublin and
demanded more than $1.5 million for her

release, police said Wednesday.

Police Superintendent Frank Hanlon
told a news conference police were keeping
“an open mind’? about who might be
behind the Tuesday kidnapping, which
was disclosed Wednesday.

The kidnapped woman’s husband,
John, is a leading merchant banker and a
member of a Guinness family branch that
built up a banking, insurance and
manufacturing conglomerate, Guinness
Peat. Another branch of his family
became famous as brewers.

Gun law reconsidered

Washington, D.C.
(AP) The House voted 286-136 Wednesday
to ease many restrictions of the 1968 Gun
Control Act but to maintain an 18-year-
old ban on interstate handgun sales.

The vote followed intense lobbying by
the National Rifle Association and rival
handgun advocates, including hundreds of
uniformed policemen who roamed
through the Capital talking to lawmakers.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Harold L.
Volkmer (D-Mo.) now goes to the
Senate, which last year approved a similar
measure. Senators can accept the House
bill or send the issue to a House-Senate
conference to work out differences.

Nuclear test held

Las Vegas
(AP) A nuclear test was conducted in the
Nevada desert just after dawn Wednesday
following two days of weather delays and
growing protests among peace groups.

Code-named Mighty Oak, the test was
conducted 1300 feet underground in a tun-
nel honed in Rainier Mesa, 93 miles nor-
thwest of Las Vegas.

The test, put officially at less than 20
kilotons, was believed to have an explosive
punch of about 1,300 pounds of TNT -
ranking it among the smaller blasts at the
sprawling test site.

It was described as a weapons effects
test. Such tests are designed to determine
the ability of U.S. space and military hard-
ware to survive a nuclear blast.

The State
N.Y. Dem’s to caucus

New York
(AP) State Democratic leaders will meet
next week to discuss ways of blunting the
impact of the city’s corruption scandals
that are threatening the party, according to
a top party official.

“The party has a responsibility to insure
that the integrity of the party is pro-
tected,”” William Cunningham, executive
director of the Democratic State Commit-
tee, said Wednesday.

He said ‘‘many prominent Democrats
have expressed concern’ about the effect
of the scandals on Democratic state and
local officials, including Gov. Mario
Cuomo, who is up for re-election this year.

The Albany meeting of state committee
officers comes just six weeks before the
convention of the state Democratic Com-

governor and his statewide running mates
for Democratic nominations.

AIDS cure sought

New York
(AP) An experimental vaccine made by
splicing smallpox vaccine and a gene made
from the AIDS virus has produced some
immunity to AIDS in mice, researchers
reported Wednesday.

It is a first step toward a possible vaccine
to protect humans against AIDS, but con-
siderable research must be done to assure
the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine,
its developers said.

The smallpox vaccine was discovered in
1796 when’ Edward Jenner, an English
physician, showed that people injected
with cowpox virus could not become in-
fected with the closely related smallpox
virus.

In the new research, the cowpox virus,
called vaccinia virus, was genetically
engineered to include the gene responsible
for making the outer coat of the AIDS
virus-a protein called the envelope.

SA candidates campaign at Thursday forums

By Hillary Fink
STAFF WRITER

In a forum sponsored by Student
Association Thursday night, candidates
for SA President, Vice President and
University Council campaigned to a rowdy
crowd of about 250 people who were most-
ly members of campus fraternities and
sororities,

Later Thursday evening, the Inter-
Fraternity Council (IFC) also held a
forum, to decide on their candidate
endorsement.

Steve Gawley, SA president, said that
this “first annual campus-wide SA forum
was very significant.”” In the past, there
had been quad board debates which were
considered useless because ‘‘no one came
except for the campaign staffs... I think
this is a tradition that’s been started,” he
said.

Gawley added, ‘‘I think there were a lot
of undecided people here. I’m really
psyched. I think it went well.””

In the SA forum, each of the seven can-
didates gave a one and a half minute long
opening statement.

Presidential candidate Paco Duarte said
in his opening statement that he ‘‘needs to
prioritize a personal SA’”’ and said that he
wants ‘‘a year-long campaign to develop
student activism.”

Mark Rivers, also running for president,
said that he wants to establish new services
including an SA resource center with pro-
gramming publication for groups, a stu-
dent credit union, a summer job bank, and
a healthier relationship in the community.

Survey: dorm cable TV

By David Spalding
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Early results of a campus survey show
that SUNYA students want cable televi-
sion to be installed in the dormitories.

The 15-question survey was conducted
by the Assosciation of College En-
trepreneurs (ACE) and was answered by
1,500 students, which is about 25 percent
of SUNYA’s dorm population, said ACE
president Mark Heller, the group is
assisting Student Association and Capitol
Cablevision guage student interest in
cable.

“ACE wrote up this whole survey (after
being) advised by Capitol Cablevision and
SA as to what they wanted from the
survey,’’ said Heller.

If cable is brought to campus SUNYA
will have a unique opportunity to run its
own television station, said SA Programm-
ing Director Betty Ginzburg. ‘It would be
SUNYA’s own channel—broadcasting 24
hours a day,”’ she said.

“1’m employing ACE to do the survey
for me,’ said Ginzburg, adding that she is
very happy with the way the survey is
going.

Ginzburg outlined the plans for the pro-
posed television station that could be
broadcast from SUNYA’s Educational
Communications Center (ECC) which has
the neccessary equipment to run a station.

According to Ginzburg, lectures and
tutoring of popular classes could be broad-
cast from the ECC station. “‘It would help
student faculty relations.”

“I feel it would lend credibility to the
athletic program,’’ Ginzburg said, adding
that SUNYA’s sports competitions could
be broadcast by the ECC station.

Other benefits of a campus station in-
clude revenue from commercials and the
“wonderful experience’ students would
derive from running a TV station, said
Ginzburg. She said she is preparing pro-
posals to present to University officials.

““All five quads were (surveyed)’’, said
Heller. ‘Certain gross tabulation ques-
tions were built in the survey to test the
validity and representiveness of the
population.””

“Very few people were against bringing

both SA vice-president and Univerisity
Council, said in his opening statement that
he had basically ‘‘one thing to point out--
my three years of SA experience,”’ and
said that his “‘main theme is communica-
tion, complicity, and student service.”

Tihan Presbie, a vice-presidential can-
didate, said in his opening statement that
“Last year, out of five candidates, I was
ranked by the ASP as the second-most
qualified. This year, I have more ex-
perience... I want to fix the problems with
SA.

Vice-presidential candidate Doug Tuttle
talked about what SA has done this year
and how it has ‘‘proved how strong voices
can be for students’ rights. We have to see

cable to campus,”’ said Heller, adding that
the final official tabulations will be ready
next week.

In the survey, tentative prices were listed
per person per semester and students had a
choice between cable service in their in-
dividual suites ($10-$15), bedrooms
($20-$25), or both ($30-$35). Heller refus-
ed to speculate as to what students would
prefer.

The survey also contained a question
asking for student opinion about a com-
puter connection that could be used to
hook up a student’s personal computer to
the main frame computer in the Com-
puting Center via the cable supplied by
Capitol Cablevision. ‘You could do your
(computer) homework right in your
room,”’ said Heller. The computing Center
currently has telephone access lines for

A Masters of Business Administration
(MBA) degree may not be crucial to suc-
cess in the corporate world, and in some
cases could be a liability.

Employment opportunities in large
corporations are easier to obtain with an
MBA, but in small towns or rural areas
it could be a liability, according to
SUNYA Finance Department chair
Hany Shawky. ‘‘Even in Albany it could
work against them. Employers don’t
want to pay the price,’’ said Shawky.

Donald Hester, Director of Graduate
Academic Services for SUNYA’s
Business School, partially concurs.
“Some companies don’t want MBA’s -
they don’t want to pay the money.
Other companies, on the other hand,
would say, if you don’t have the MBA
we don’t want you - you don’t have the
charge card to go through the turn-
stile,’ said Hester.

The number of MBA’s awarded in-
creased from about 40,000 in 1975 to
about 61,000 in 1982, the latest year in
which figures were available.

how we can best serve the students.

Steve Landis, a candidate for University
Council, emphasized in his opening state-
ment that he is “running on the slogan of
‘performing not promises’,”’ and that in
the past three years, he has-fought for
lower bus fees, academic freedom in the
university, and a continuation of the
busines educadtion program.

Larry Hartman said he wants to.run for
University Council because “‘after being
involved in SA for three years, I am confi-
dent that I am experienced.’’ Hartman
said he wants to ‘‘further the protection of
students’ rights.”’

Both the presidential and vice-
presidential candidates were asked what

supported

students to communicate with the universi-
ty main frame.

Student opinion was guaged on an ex-
panded 27 channel package at a higher
price and for FM simulcast, said Heller.

Bringing cablevision into the dorms was
a good idea, ‘‘but it’s too much money,”
said MaryAnn Gibbons,a junior from In-
dian Quad, ‘‘Albany’s lacking in stations.
It would be nice if we could get some
more. We can get the (New York) Met
games,’’ she added.

Dutch Quad frosh Jay Greenspan is
“definitely interested’? in cable and he
favors the suite room installment plan to
save money.

“We rent a TV and we all watch
together,” said Greenspan, he added that
the channel selection offered was fine “‘for
guys” because it offers sports and movies.

Ross Stolzenberg, Vice President for
Research at the Graduate Management
Admission Council, said that the ex-
plosive growth in the number of MBA’s
can not continue forever, according to
the Cronicle of Higher Education.

More women are earning mba’s but
the number of men obtaining the degree
has begun to level off. Stolzenberg at-
tributed this growth to the steady shift
to masters degees and monetary rewards
associated with the MBA.

An MBA is often perceived as an ex-
clusive ticket to the corporate boar-
droom. With it comes power, prestige,
and most times, an impressive salary.

Two of the 122 SUNYA 1984-85
MBA graduates received salary offers
exceeding 50,000. Others earned salaries
of at least $40,000, but more typically
starting salaries were in the $30,000
range, according to Hester.

Shawky agreed, citing that the star-
ting salaries for recent graduates with no
experience is $32,000-$50,000.

Most SUNYA MBA graduates are
placed in large metropolitan areas such

they would do to enhance publicity of SA
events.

Rivers said that he wants to develop a
publicity network that covers every area
both on and off campus to provide publici-
ty and wants a resource center, where
students will be able to get self-help by sit-
ting down with guides and see how to
publicize.

Duarte said that he wants ‘‘mandatory
workshops for advertising in order to learn
proper ways to advertise.

Tuttle said that making the political
issues events successful means relying on
direct personal contact. He said that’s
what’s needed to make events successful,
which is ‘‘ why events failed this year.’

Presbie said he wants to post a daily
listing of events to inform students of cam-
pus events. ‘‘The events need more publici-
ty,” he said.

“We need a publicity director reaching
each group’’ said Weinstein. ‘‘They need
someone to look to if they’re not sure how
to publicize the right way,”’ he said.

After the forums, members voted
agaisnt endorsing a candidate for SA presi-
dent. The endorsement stated that ‘“‘the
Greek council feels that the election of
either Duarte or Rivers will be beneficial to
the school and Greek life.””

IFC, however, did vote to endorse Doug
Tuttle for SA vice-president. ‘‘Doug Tuttle
struck the council as a particularly
outstanding candidate for SA vice presi-
dent. His obvious leadership qualities,
coupled with a firm understanding of
Greek issues and concerns, made him the
unanimous choice of the Inter-Fraternity
Council,”’ stated their endorsement.

“The success of this (Greek) forum
shows that the unity between the Greeks is
growing stronger with time. Through the
IFC, the Greeks have become a major
force, not only socially, but politically,”
said Howie Sonnenschein, Zeta Beta Tau
president and IFC forum emcee.

It is important that all students now
realize that the IFC will be integrally in-
volved in all aspects of SUNYA life,
whether it be social, political, or communi-
ty service.”

The University Council candidates were
addressed about the issue of the ban on
kegs on campus, and were asked what they
plan on doing to try to change the policy.

Steve Landis said ‘‘They just took away
the kegs... there is still Jack Daniels and
drugs. He said that if the issue is ‘brought
up at every single meeting,...they will give
up sooner or later.’’

Hartman said “‘we have to keep bringing
it up and making sure that they see how
unrealistic the policy is. We have to keep
pushing,” he said. a

Hiring MBAs costly for small companies

as New York City or Boston.

Whether the MBA degree is a job
market asset depends on one’s employ-
ment location and company. Barbara
Spring, Assistant Vice President of
Marketing for First Albany Corpora-
tion, said that an MBA is a must in the
“Wall Street firm,” but that Albany is
more flexible. Spring has an MA in
English Literature, and while she was
employed by a Wall Street company for
six years, people in New York thought
she was “nuts”? for pursuing employ-
ment outside her area of educa-
tion. To get ahead at First Albany, an
MBA is “‘not important,” said Spring.
What “is important is ‘‘personality,
creativity, independence, and a sense of
humor.” However, Spring said that this
is not typical of most companies.

Credentials alone will not bring about
achievement. “‘It is not necessarily the
degree that makes someone a success -
it’s the person,” said second year
SUNYA MBA student Hank Johnson.
“The MBA may open doors initally, but

Inflation decrease causes rise in
prof salaries second year in a row

Washington D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Pro-
fessors’ salaries-- after more than
a decade of freezes and declines--
rose for the second year in a row
this school year.

College teachers got average
raises of 6.1 percent over last
year, a real gain after inflation of
2.5 percent, a nationwide study
by the American Association of
University Professors (AAUP)
released last week found.

Raises last year also amounted
to 2.5 percent after inflation, but
budget cuts and the hyperinfla-
tion of the seventies had actually
left the average college professor
able to buy less than he or she
could in 1971.

Even after this year’s raises,
professors’ earning power is only
86 percent of what it was in 1971,
said Marse Eymonerie, a consul-
tant to the AAUP,which is the
nation’s third-largest college
faculty union.

“We still have catching up to
do, but we are certainly pleased
with the last two years,”’ added
the AAUP’s Iris Molotsky.

Full professors now make an
average of $42,500 a year, the
survey found.

Many administratiors earlier in
the school year predicted they’ll
need to keep raising tuition an
average of seven percent a year
through the rest of the decade in
order to raise money to help pay
faculty members more.

The AAUP and others in the
academic community thank the
school reform movement, a grow-
ing shortage of certain kinds of
professors and the general im-
povement in the American
economy for the raises.

‘I would say the decrease of in-

flation is the most significant fac-
tor behind reversing the decline of
buying power,’’ said Perry
Robinson of the American
Federation of Teachers (AFT),
another major professors’ union.

”6.1 percent is no big deal,”® he
said. “‘If the figure were nine or
10 percent, I would say you could
conclude there was a conscious ef-
fort to reverse the decline in facul-
ty salaries.””

And still the raises aren’t
enough to draw top-quality peo-
ple to college teaching, others ad-
ded.

“We are not getting as many of
the best and the brightest we used
to,’ said Terry Madonna, presi-
dent of the Association of Penn-
sylvania State College and
University Faculties.

Madonna said Pennsylvania’s
legislature agreed to raise salaries
by nine percent because they
realized state schools were losing
talented people and, perhaps
more forcefully, because “we
threatened to go on strike.’”

The AFT’s Robinson said he
believes the school reform move-
ment may have helped inspire the
raises in California, if not
everywhere.

Teachers on the 19 campuses of
California State University receiy-
ed a 10 percent raise last year,
followed by a nine percent hike
this year.

“The California Legislature
has been generous the last few
years,”’said Paul Worthman of
the California Faculty
Association.

But Worthman said the in-

creases are being used as bait by
trustees who are trying to wrest
more control from faculty

members over how campuses are
Tun.

As part of their proposal to
raise salaries by 6.8 percent next
year, for example, Cal State’s
trustees suggested procedural
changes in the way they could
award bonuses and make promo-
tions without consulting faculty
members as rigorously as they do
now.

“This is really demoralizing to
the faculty. It’s really a nasty
thing,”’ said Prof. Ann Birge of
Cal State at Hayward.

In Colorado, legislators are of-
fering higher salaries in return for
closer control over the kinds of
courses and graduate programs
certain state campuses can offer.
Nevertheless, ‘‘I don’t see ‘quid
pro quo’ (the practice, in this.
case, of trading campus influence
for higher salaries) as a national
trend,’’ Robinson said.

Moreover, professors in some

states-- particularly those depen-
dent on the depressed energy
economy-- won’t be getting raises
at all.
Louisiana professors, for exam-
ple, have had only one raise in
four years, and the higher educa-
tion budget could be cut by
another 20 percent next year, said
Horace Fairlamb of the Louisiana
Federation of Teachers.

“Tt’s been very bad,”he said.
“There are people looking
elsewhere, especially this year.’?

In general, though, Molotsky
and Eymonerie said they think
faculty salaries will keep rising for
a year of two more, Beyond that,
the said they forecast lower
federal support for colleges,
which may make continued in-

creases in real income more dif-
ficult. EE

(AP) In the wake of recent terrorist attacks
in Europe, officials at Union College are
offering anti-terrorism orientation for
students planning to study overseas.

Students are being advised to avoid fly-
ing into Rome and Athens airports; to stay
away from discotheques popular with
American soldiers; to compare safety
measures practiced by different airlines; to
be wary at airports; and to stay in safe
public areas.

The warnings about the airports stem
from recent hijackings of planes departing
from Athens, and a December shooting at-
tack at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport.

“The students are taking it very serious-
ly and they’re becoming more careful,”
William Thomas, director of Union’s

Thomas said. He added that since then, in-

all 105 slots filled for the fall semester.

After the Rome attack, college officials
considered dropping its 10 foreign study
programs, but they decided against such a
move, Thomas said.

“We haven’t decided to change
anything yet, but we’ll obviously keep
monitoring the (terrorist) situation like

Reauthorization of Education Act jeopardized

Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Some call it akin to ‘‘putting
socks on an octopus,”’ some call it
fear, but by any description the
government is having a terrible
time fashioning a Higher Educa-
tion Reauthorization Act
(HERA) of 1986, originally
HERA of 1985.

Congress neglected to
reauthorize the act last year and
opted instead to postpone the
reauthorization to this year.

“The climate is different this
time,” said Dallas Martin of the
political struggle over the all-
important bill that will, sooner
but probably later, set American
higher education policy through
the rest of the decade.

Martin, head of the National
Association of Student Financial
Aid Administrators, ought to
know. The widely respected
educator virtually wrote 1980's
HERA, timed to expire last Oc-
tober 1, himself.

Congress is supposed to pass
such acts every five years, to
“reauthorize”’ the giant federal
student and college aid programs
established in the original Higher
Education Act of 1965. And
when it reauthorizes the  pro-
grams, it sets maximum funding
levels for them for the next five
years.

Educators don’t hesitate to
stress its importance.

“It provides a road map’’ for
Congress and colleges, said Bob
Aaron of the National Associa-
tion of State Universities and
Land-Grant Colleges.

“It establishes what each party

Ford Motor
Credit
Company

— federal government, state, col-
lege and family — (in the college
business) is responsible for,” he
said.

And the Reagan administration
thinks it’s a chance to bring con-
servative reform to campuses, to
pull the federal government out
of higher education, and leave it
where the reformers believe it
belongs: the states.

On March 3, a Senate commit-
tee finally passed a version of a
bill it first began pondering in
1984,

And what the Reagan ad-

. Ministration promised would be a

meaningful, long-overdue
philosophical debate about higher
education has turned into just
another budget argument that,
some say, the administration
hasn’t even bothered to attend.

Martin said the process has
been more fiscal than
philosophical. ‘‘There’s a strong
deficit consciousness from Con-
gress and the public.””

The Senate proposal, recently
out of committee, would trim
about $2 billion from the present
authorization of $11.7 billion for
fiscal 1987. The House’s final ver-
sion, approved in December,
would cut funding a bit less
drastically, to about $10.6 billion.

If the full Senate approves its
version, a conference committee
will draft a compromise. Both
houses will vote on it and send it
to the president, probably later in
1986.

To keep federal college pro-
grams going in the meantime,
Congress has extended the 1980
act’s provisions through

September.

Despite the long struggle, some
aren’t sure the figures in either
version should be taken seriously.

“No authorization legislation
has ever been completely funded’’
over the five-year life of the act,
notes Charles Saunders of the
American Council on Education.

Yet most college lobbyists want
some kind of bill approved as
soon as possible, apparently to

own act — literally and
figuratively — together.

Given all the administration
talk about killing most kinds of
federally funded college programs
— from student aids to dorm con-
struction to help for libraries —
they apparently think the cut-
backs now under consideration
could be a lot worse.

The Education Department
says they should be.

Bruce Carnes, Education Depart-
ment undersecretary for budget
and planning.

Carnes said he believes the cur-
rent congressional plans — which
some observers say would dictate
five years of dropping more
students from student aid and let-
ting college buildings fall into
disrepair — are ‘“‘utopian.’’

“We (the department) take

get something on the books
before the administration gets its

“We get

es alarmed when authorization figures very
authorizations get too high,”’ said _seriously,’’ he says.

Washington, D.C.
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Congress appears
ready to pass a Higher Education Reauthoriza-
tion Act later this year that would make it harder
for students to get loans and cut the amount of
grant money they can get during the next five
years.

On March 3, the Senate Committee on Labor
and Human Resources sent its version of the
crucial act — S. 1965 — to the full Senate, which
is expected to approve it in May or June.

The House had passed its own version — H.R.
3700 — in December.

After a joint congressional committee works
out a compromise bill, it will return to both
houses and to the president for final approval.

Though present proposals seem far from final,
Congress watchers said the Senate and House
versions may be similar enough for an easy
compromise.

Among the salient features of the bills, as they
stood last week:

— Both House and Senate versions would
lower the maximum Pell Grants for eligible
students. Now set at $2,600 per year, the House-
proposed limit would be $2,300 for 1987, increas-
ing by $200 a year. The Senate committee would

limit grants to $2,400, also increasing by $200 a

— Both Senate and House versions would re-
quire all students applying for Guaranteed Stu-
dent Loans (GSLs) to provide proof of need.
Currently only students with family incomes ex-
ceeding $30,000 a year have to demonstrate need.

— The House would let undergrads borrow up
to $14,500 under the GSL program, up from the
current $12,500 ceiling. The Senate would raise
the aggregate maximum to $18,000.

— For National Direct Student Loans
(NDSLs), the House would almost halve present
loans limits for undergraduates, while almost
doubling loan limits for graduate students.

The Senate committee would retain present
levels of $5,000 for the first two years and
$10,000 for the second half of undergraduate
studies.

— Both House and Senate versions provide for
loan consolidation packages for borrowers whose
GSL and NDSL loans exceed $7,500.

— The Senate committee would allow pro-
prietary schools to participate in the College
Work/Study program. And the House would
allow Work/Study funds to be used for private
sector jobs, with businesses paying a larger
percentage of the student’s wage. Oo

f he first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The dif-
ference between them is sometimes as great as a month,” wrote Henry van
Dyke in Fisherman's Luck. That is why, three weeks after the first day of

spring, I'm writing about it. After being in Albany for three years, I was too skep-

tical to write about spring in March.

In the mid 1800's Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote, “In spring a young man’s fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love.” So, in 1986, I asked my R.A., Skippy-do, what
his fancy was turning to, now that we can safely assume that spring has arrived.
“Spring makes me horny, makes me want to be athletic, makes me want to blow
off classes,” he replied with all the elegance of Tennyson.

Light thoughts of love? I don’t think so. Being a thorough journalist, I decided to
investigate the effects of spring on SUNYA students. I went to the heart of the
situation: the podium. Yes, I podiated.

My friends and I headed out toward the blue concrete wearing our sunglasses,
jeans, and sweaters. After all, it was only 60° out. We soon discovered that,
regardless of the weather, serious podiaters wear minimal clothing. We were
foreigners in a sea of bikinis.

I wondered if the string-clad podiaters were cold. After some observation, I came
up with two theories: either these young women were suffering in silence for the
sake of attracting young men with “thoughts of love,” or so much body heat was
being generated by the flocks of males surrounding them, that they actually
weren't cold at all.

For two hours, we sat in the sun, observing, scouting, waiting for our social lives
to bloom with the season. And it probably would have taken the whole season for
something to happen. We didn’t want to wait a whole season. One ASPie did say

hello, though, before perching near a pretty blond podiater a few yards away. That
was it. One brief hello for three girls in two hours. Ugh.

I trudged back to my dorm and paid a visit to my prime source (the one we
always call Joe). Together, we figured out what had gone wrong out there on the
podium. And, to protect others from similarly horrifying experiences, we came up
with the following guidelines to spring podium etiquette:

1) Slow down your walking pace to a leisurely saunter.

2) Take the long way around to everywhere.

3) Wear bizarre sunglasses constantly, regardless of weather, until the first snow in
fall.

4) Be super-conscious of your body — remember, the more you take off, the better
you have to look.

5) Romanticize everything. Every smile directed your way has a hidden meaning.
6) Kick any small beanbags that cross your path.

6) Pretty much kiss socks goodbye.

This is, of course, not a complete guide, so feel free to add to it. Let us know
what you come up with, and whether your fancy turns to light thoughts of
love... or something else . . . this spring.

Twelfth Night opens on the 16th

he University Theatre will perform
T one of William Shakespeare's

foremost comedies, Twelfth Night,
at the Main Theatre of the Performing Arts
Center April 16 — 19.

Hope Piliere

Director Albert Asermely is enthusiastic
about this production because he feels it is
a play Shakespeare intended for young
people, and also importantly, to be per-
formed by young people. Twelfth Night is
a play that focuses on the question of sex-
ual identity: “What is love?” proposes
Asermely — does someone fall in love
with a body or with the qualities of its
character?

Twelfth Night revolves around the
plight of a young woman who is secretly in
love with a man, yet must disguise herself
as aman, while another young woman falls
in love with her in that disguise. The confu-
sion that inevitably arises from this situa-
tion is the source of not only humor, but of
that perhaps unanswerable question of the
nature of love.

The cast of student actors, who by open-
ing night will have rehearsed for 124
hours, is, in Asermely’s opinion, “most
unusual” because they are “almost perfect.”
“This cast,’ he says, “could easily work in
New York City” in the same capacity.

The 19 actors and actresses were chosen
from the 60 or so individuals who respond-
ed to open auditions. Kathleen Donohue,
who plays the heroine Viola, feels that
working on such a play is a unique ex-
perience, not: only educationally, but
aesthetically aswell. “After Saturday night

Karen Beck

You can stop pestering friends and fami-
ly with silly, philosophical questions about
the “perfect relationship” —
author/illustrator Matt Groening has all the
anewets, and ‘shares them with anyone
willing to take a tour with him down the
rocky road to romance.

This 13 chapter mini-series is illustrated
with funny, ugly, bug-eyed looking faces.
These love-torn bunnies mourn soulfully
and romp playfully through microscopic
type and chaotic layout in search of “slop-

py love,” “vegetable magnetiem,” or “the
gooeys.” Put them all together and they
spell LUV.

Even the most romantically incompetent
can follow the “Easy guide to Modern
Love,” which outlines all the possible
results of chance meetings at bars, parties,
or laundromats. Flirting stupidly will ellicit
a rejection based on limited or no satisfac-
tion due to ineptitude, flagging desire or
ickiness.

Some of the more common stereotypes
of man are found in ‘The Nine Types of
Boyfriends,” which are listed in an easy-to-
follow chart along with their alternative
names, advantages, and drawbacks. “Joe
Sensitive” is also known as “soft boiled
egg” and “snugglepup,” but he is irritating.

his mate, “After I do the dishes, let’s make
love like crazed weasles.” He also answers

Boris McGivern, who plays the Clown,
agrees, pointing out that most people who

Groening gives his fellow men an oppur-
tunity to take cheap shots at former
lovers. The nine types of girlfriends in-
clude “Old Yeller,” “Woman From Mars,”
(ak.a: “spooky gitl,” “screwball,” and “ar-
tistic”) and “Wild Woman Out of Control”

who is “more fun than a barrel of
monkeys” but “unreliable. . .drives off
cliffs.”

Once a euphoric relationship has been
established, Groening helps sweethearts
answer questions like “should we live
together?’ and “should we get married?”
Included as helpful guidelines are “Hints
for hussies” and “Tips for toads.”

Following such expert love advice are
several “bonus comics.” Groening manages
to shatter nearly every shallow social
stereotype which has manifested itself in
the eighties. His “Guide to Modern
Creative Artistic Types” allows readers to
determine which segment of the artsy fart-

receipts. Efforts are being made to get
more students, not only from SUNYA, in-
volved in seeing productions and how they
are made. Also, a 30-minute cable televi-
sion show on the production of Twelfth
Night will be made; this is the first time
such as endeavor has been undertaken.

Twelfth Night should be more accessible
to a wider audience because this version
features more natural langauge. Asermely
has worked with the English Department
to omit some of Shakespeare’s more
cumbersome language so that the audience
can more easily obtain the flavor of
Shakespeare's message. This, coupled with
the absence of “Shakespearean” British ac-
cents will make Twelfth Night more ap-
pealing to the ordinary viewer.

Visually, Twelfth Night will also be dif-
ferent from its previous productions. The
set is designed in the style of Maxwell
Parish, an artist famous for his posterwork
in the 1920's. The result is a lighter at-
mosphere, complementary to comedy,
with colorful Renaissance style costumes
all made specifically for this performance,
instead of the usual Elizabethan attire. The
stage, according to Matt Healy, who plays
Sir Andrew, is reflective of the element of
fantasy in the play, and of its hidden.
melancholy.

Twelfth Night should prove to be an im-
pressive experience next week, as well as a
refreshing change from a night out at the
movies. For the same price, one can have a
taste of culture without getting chewing
gum stuck to the bottom of one’s shoe.
Twelfth Night will be shown April 16 —
19. Tickets are $6 for general public, $4 for
students and senior citizens. All seats are

other things, the hard work ahead and to Albany, New York, U.S.A. To
some people in the music scene that seemed funny then and even more ab-
surd now...I think somebody missed the boat...

Albany can be an unforgiving bitch that'll chew up and spit out bands without
the mettle to hang in there and get off their collective complaining asses and
push...club and band status is never a constant because, unfortunately, music is a
business and some businesses do well and others falter. Staying healthy with
original music is difficult and those that really cherish it are the ones that work at it.
The others...?

It’s not that all these people want to be “rock'n'roll stars” (sure some of ‘em do
and what's wrong with that) they simply enjoy creating their own brand of sound
and want other people to hear it. Records become an extension of the band and
serve many functions; promotion, ego massage, and very rarely, a source of in-
come. In Albany there’s no shortage of recorded material (take a look at our cover).

slow-mo.” Nonetheless,

In the past year alone we've seen vinyl or cassette releases from Sara Ayers, Steve
Bart, Dance Planet,The Stomplistics, The Ushers, Ken Powis, Jim Sande, Chefs of
the Future, and Kevin Bartlett just to name a few. Some of the classic Albany
records (A.D.’s, Fear of Strangers, X-istentials, AKA Etc.) are great not because
they're hometown but because they have that certain spark that makes any good
music so special.

Most music begins and lives in a live environment so it’s important to try and see
bands in their natural habitat, onstage. The drinking laws make it a bit tougher but
good entertainment can still be had. We've tried to give the uninitiated a head start
this issue with brief profiles of five local acts. This is by no means the extent of the
local music scene but if we make lists then we'll leave someone out and we
wouldn’t want that.

Suffice to say that Aspects encourages you to keep your eyes, ears, and minds
open to what's happening here. No matter what style suits you, be it country, jazz,
funk, hard rock, or whatever, you can find it locally... Go see a band, go buy their
records, go for it, go with it, go nuts, go completely wild...

frustrated. Other mediocre bands get lucky,
get noticed and have their videos played on MTV.
Still yet, there is a third and most common category
of local bands—those that achieve local followings,
play decent music, but get little deserved attention
locally through ‘airplay from pop stations, such as
Albany's WELY.

L ocal bands come and go, it is said. Some are

Ken Dornbaum

Albany's Dance Planet fits into the third category.
A quintet, Dance Planet has played around Albany

in such clubs as Bogie’s 288 Lark, etc. To further
| their following, they have recently released a 7-song
LP, Spin It, which has received little air play, even
locally, save for the college radio stations.

Spin It is a good, listenable record. Dance Planet
has a humorous, quirky style which is reminiscent of
the Swimming Pool Q's, a band that is out of
Athens, Georgia and has received some degree of
national recognition. In fact, they sound very similar
to the Pool Q’s in general.

Brian Wellbrock and Amy Bach's harmonies on

ay Hey, Say What”, for example, sound very
similar to the harmonies of the Pool Q's Jeff Calder
and Anne Richmond-Boston in the “The A-Bomb
Woke Me Up.” It could be very easy to confuse the
two groups.

Nonetheless, there are differences. Dance Planet
sticks to a basic rock and roll style whereas the Pool
Q's mix country music into their repetoire.

Dance Planet remains very true to their
name—they play “dance” music, or music with a
good, fast beat that’s fun to play at parties. What
distinguishes Dance Planet from your run-of-the-
mill, fly-by-night local band is that although Dance
Planet does not have the most original style, they do
infuse personality into their music.

Albany has a reputation of producing mediocre
bands, especially among students; very few students
follow the local band scene or patronize the bands.
| Although Dance Planet is not the next Talking
| Heads, they do have a catchy style. For example, the
song “Have It All” has the potential to receive
widespread airplay. It is a fast paced, boppy song
with catchy lyrics. “Strong Drink”, the only in-
strumental on the album, combines jazz with their
quirky rock style that has an almost mainstream
sound.

Dance Planet demonstrates that they have the
potential to grow and not remain just a “local” band
on this album.

Most students at SUNY A stay in Albany only un-
til they graduate. Spin It is the kind of record that
will remind students of their sojourn in
Albany—both by being an authentically Albany-
made object (the album was recorded here) and by
reminding students of good Albany nightlife. Oo

Dirty Face

O ne of the more notorious bands on the local

scene is Dirty Face. Regardless of their non-

musical reputation, this three-piece band is
cone of the tightest, most imaginative and energetic
bands in the Capital District.

Led by Dominick Campana’s guitar, lead vocals,
and song-writing, Dirty Face performs primarily
originals, ranging from pop-like ballads to punk to
tongue-in-cheek heavy metal, with a smattering of
interesting covers, including Led Zepplin, Bauhaus,
and the Peanuts Theme. Mr. Campana, who I feel is
or is very close to being the best local performing
guitarist, is much more than competently anchored
by bassist Matthew Hayes and ex-Capitle drummer
Ross Archer.

As much as Mr. Campana may dominate the
band on paper, live, Dirty Face is very much a band,
or at least a small gang. There is a great deal of vocal
harmony during songs and amusing disharmony in
between, sort of like a running argument between
, Divine, Boy George, and Andy Warhol over the
value of machismo. Set lists become merely a
guideline, as one member or another may start a
song or respond to an audience suggestion. In-
fluences from The Jam (especially vocally), The
Replacements, The Clash, and Saturday Morning
cartoons come clear. Although there are recording
plans in the future, don’t wait: go see these folks
live. Good or bad, like them or not, Dirty Face will

n the rather precarious world that is any local
I music scene, a band that plays original tunes has
an added disadvantage; often not knowing
where the next gig will pop up. There are excep-
tions, however, and the new Albany band,
Mambo-x is one of them.

Joshua Vincent

Since late in ‘85 the band has played quite a few
gigs, mostly in the usual “wacko downtown” clubs:
288 and the deceased Puttin’ on the Ritz, in addition
to the uptown Bogie’s. The response of the au-
diences have been heartening, both to the band and
to local music observers. One is struck by the varie-
ty of humanity that shows up to dance to the
polyrhythmic textures of a group that stresses the
importance of melodic patterns, much like the hyp-

| notic sounds of West Africa’s JuJu beat of King Sun-
ny Ade.

This influence from the Southern Hemisphere is
not an accident as guitarist Seth Kaufman will attest.
Having lived in Kenya and India as a younger man,
he absorbed not only the mechanics of Third World
music, but also the emotional power and the
| discipline to subvert the guitar hero that lives in all
|| of us; to create a true “group” sound. In partnership

with other guitarist Mitchell Rosen, the two in-
| struments have blended to form a fluidity not often
heard here. An easy comparison (maybe too facile)
is the Talking Heads’ opus “Remain in Light”.
| Much like the Heads, the music is channeled and

directed by the vocals. In the case of Mambo-x, it is
Erin O'Hara who provides an extremely powerful

| confidence onstage (her idols include Janis Joplin).
‘After less than six months of playing out, fans can
be seen imitating Erin’s moves and singing along to
the tunes. In fact, the only true hooks and riffs come
|| from Erin’s voice, rather than an instrument.

: Onstage behind the show that is the singer and
| the guitar boys are the keystones of every rock
band; the bass and the drums. Bassist Mark Wilken
is interested in Africa only insofar as the brewery
‘| situation over there (Nigeria is reputed to have great
ale). Mark is the classic “ocker man, spawned from a
strange garage somewhere in the U.S.A. A true
‘Grand Homme” of the local scene, he was in the
seminal Albany band, those rock'n'roll bad boys, the
A.D’. As ever, Mark is concerned with a pounding
of the bass geared to hurt and hurt again. Also pro-
viding a light touch on backing vocals and on the
bass when it’s necessary. It is a welcome sight to see
Mark back.

Working with Mark to provide the big-beat foun-
dation is Barry Litman, the one band member who is
transcendant and very.“cool”, much like his clear in-
fluences Jack DeJohnette and the Police’s Stewart
Copeland. In performance, Barry is the most liable
to improvise on the pattern, creating spaces and then
filling them, pleasing the “cool” in a lot of musician
isteners.

Although it seems that a serious intellectual excer-
cise is the root of Mambo-X’s being, this is only a
framework. This is still a band that is young and lots
of fun. On their April 3rd show at 288 there was a
new sense of assuredness with Mitchell grinning
broadly and Seth undulating like a snake as the
whole band reached the crowd and grabbed them.

Their plans for the future are ambitious. A single
has been recorded at MCE Studios in Schenectady
and a video is being produced. In addition the band
is hoping for shows out-of-town, including CBGB's
in New York. If Mambo-X don’t start overreaching
themselves and rush natural musical evolution, they
have a good chance to succeed where others in the
area have failed. With a slower pace and more
lyrical cohesion and philosophy, you'll see these
kids everywhere. Oo

Aspects ‘7a

Recalling a visit to the U.S.S.R.

paper before me. The blank page

stares back at me, almost mockingly.
What to write, what to write?” I have
been experiencing a most stubborn writer's
block. One idea, then another, but all
seeming to go nowhere.

Joe Sergio

I have certainly considered forgetting
this little endeavor. It would be a lot easier.
After a moment's thought, however, I
decide that the topic is much too important
to simply toss to the wayside. It still seems
impossible, however, to successfully pull
off the task which I have assigned myself.
The task at hand is to relate, in this limited
space, my experiences and impressions of
the Soviet Union when I was there two
months ago. I think now you understand
why this project is so challenging.

Upon returning to school in January
after two and one-half weeks in various
cities of the Soviet Union, I found myself
being interrogated by fascinated, wide-
eyed teenagers curious about life behind
the Iron Curtain. The most frequently oc-
curring inquiries pertained to the condition
of our accomodations and, more impor-
tantly, the attitudes of Soviet citizens
toward us. For this reason I have chosen to
address these two matters.

While in the USSR, our tour group,
organized through Adelphi University’s
History Department, was under the
guidance of Intourist, the official agency
assigned the task of shuttling tourists to
and from sites of historical, social, and
cultural interest. My preconceived notion
that Intourist would monitor our every
move and keep us highly contained to
small areas proved false. We were able to
roam about Red Square at 11 or 12 o'clock
at night without difficulty. Strolling alone

I sit here with pen in hand, piece of

2

through the streets of Thilisi, the capital of
the Georgian Republic, was quite possible.

I must say, tipping my hat to Intourist,
that the organization certainly provided an
efficient, if not tiring, itinerary so that we
could see as much as possible in a brief
time. Our guide, Anatoly, who travelled
with us in Moscow, Baku, Thilisi, and Len-
ingrad, competently supplied us with
names, dates, and history of all the sites we
visited, even if not always being particular-
ly thrilled about doing so. By the midpoint
of the trip, we managed to break (if only
temporarily) Anatoly’s stale, party-line at-
titude to the point where he was laughing
and singing with us as well as partaking in
some of our vodka and red wine consump-
tion. He shocked some of us when he
chimed in during our rendition of “God
Bless America” and “The Star Spangled
Banner.”

The accomodations could not be com-
pared to those in the United States. In
Moscow, we stayed at the Rossiya Hotel,
conveniently located at the edge of Red
Square. With some 3000 rooms, it is the

largest in the world. I found out what that
meant when I got lost in it and spent twen-
ty minutes just walking around the place to
get back to my room. The rooms
themselves were furnished with two beds
of moderate comfort, a television that,
once you figured out how it worked,
showed either the news, a movie, or sports
competitions (none of which were too ex-
citing even when I knew what was going,
on), and a bathroom, which was fully
equipped with a shower (but no shower
curtain), towels (which were more like
linen dish towels) and the sink toilet com-
bination (of which the toilet in our room
did not function properly). On the whole,
all of the hotels we stayed in were more or
less in this condition.

The great thing about the hotels,
however, is that they all have a dezhur-
naya system. That is, they all have women,
dezhurnayas, who are stationed at desks in
the corridors of each floor of the hotels.
Their responsibilities are to take the room
keys of the guests when they go out for the
day, provide any services that the guests

need (such as getting a toilet fixed), and
generally keep an eye on things. These
women are on duty 24 hours a day. At
around 12 or 1 a.m., when I would be go-
ing to bed, I would first stop at the dezhur-
naya’s desk in order to request a wake-up
call. Many of these women didn’t speak
English (or at least didn’t show any signs
that they could) which forced me to speak
in Russian. Some of them, used to dealing
with foreigners in some type of sign
language, were pretty surprised to hear
relatively correct Russian coming out of
my mouth. This almost always sparked
conversation. Their tired, overworked
faces suddenly perked up. When they
found out that I was from the United
States, they were even more pleased. Some
conversations went until 3 a.m., each of us
revealing a little something of our
homelands in the process.

Other than the dezhurnayas, I had an op-
portunity to converse with other natives:
teenagers approached me wanting to trade
things for my western clothing; people
who stopped me on the streets, interested
in a one-on-one account of life outside the
Soviet Union; and proud Soviets, who
wanted to show me around their historic
cities. In each and every situation, these
people were extremely kind, out-going,
gracious, warm, and hospitable.

I would not like to convey the idea,
however, that they are extraordinarily
pleasant at all times. For example, when a
public performance of either the opera or
ballet is finished, the Soviets are known for
the forceful manner with which they
retrieve their coats from the coat check.
They do no push around people, they sort
of run people over. I ‘suppose it's
something akin to rush hour on the sub-
way in New York City. In a word, the
average Soviet citizen is an extremely close
reflection of ourselves.

TVARY

By Mark Kobrinsky
STAFF WRITER

Twenty-three Student Associa-
tion funded groups are appealing
their budget appropriations for
| 1986-87 to SA’s Legislative
Budget Committee. Many groups
had their last year’s appropria-
tions cut this year in order to
compensate for SA’s estimated
$35,000 deficit.

“The reason last year’s deficit
was incurrred was because un-
budgeted money was spent on
post-season athletic events such as
finals, nationals, ECAC’s, and
SUNYAC’s.” said SA controller
Eric Schwartzman. ‘‘Not one
penny is budgeted to send our
teams to these events,” he said.

Another reason for the deficit
is that last year’s Central Council
budgeted the Emergency Spen-
ding Line (ESL) out of ‘‘ funny’’,
or non-existent money. This
meant that any money taken out
of the ESL would represent a
deficit for SA, said Schwartzman.

The ESL is used for SA funded
groups running into financial dif-
ficulties for a variety of reasons,
Schwartzman said. ‘‘These
groups must apply to the Central
Council’s Financial Committee to
receive a grant from the ESL,”’ he
said.

According to Schwartzman,
this year’s deficit had a great ef-
fect on how we budgeted money.

The proposed budget was for-
mulated by the Executive Budget
Committee last Friday. Appeals
will be heard by the Legislative
Budget Committee until April 19.

Final appeals will be heard by
Central Council, which will yote

on the budget at its April 21

meeting.

The groups which are appealing
their appropriations include the
Social Science Association, the
Irish Club, the Jewish Student
Coalition-Hillel, the five quad
boards, Speaker’s Forum,
WCDB, University Cinemas, the
Ski Club, Peace Project, the foot-
ball and basketball cheerleaders,
the Bowling Club, Ice Hockey
Club, Albany State Ski Team,
Racquetball Club, the Debate and
Speech Society, and the Kickline.

Three groups, Young
Americans For Freedom (YAF),
The Riding Club, and the Poitical
Science Association, were denied
funding and will appeal the
decisions.

According to Larry Hartman,
chair of the Legislative Budget
Committee, five groups received
an increase in their appropria-
tions. These groups included
Fuerza Latina, the Albany State
University Black Alliance
(ASUBA), African Student
Association, The German Club,
and the Music Council.

“Most of the ethnic groups
received an increase in their ap-

propriations this year,’ said
Hartman.

The groups most hurt by the
cuts were the University Concert
Board (UCB), which lost $17,000;
WCDB,$3,100; University
Cinemas, $3,050 and Dippikill,
$11,000.

UCB, however, has not appeal-
ed, said Hartman, who said he
did not know why.

UCB president Marc Seligson
could not be reached for
comment.

Five appeals have been heard as
of Wednesday, and all have been
denied, said Hartman.

Fuerza Latina vice president
Luis Rivera said he feels ‘our
taise was not good enough. We
were cut about $10,000 from the
budget that we gave SA. We’re
barely making it on what we have
in our budget now.””

‘We need more money for our

said Rivera.

About $24,000 was taken out of
the budget before it was allocated
to the groups for new appropria-

tions, said Schwartzman. Out of ©

that $24,000, about $7,000 was
given to University Cinemas for
new projectors.

Another $10,000 was ap-
propriated to budget for the ESL,
said Schwartzman.

Central Council also received
$7,000 in order to create greater
financial independece from SA,
said Schwartzman. ‘‘Cost usually
attributable to the Council were
taken from a fund generally used
for SA operations. We were spen-
ding twice as much unbudgeted
monies.”” he said.

“This $24,000 could have been
given to the groups, but we had
no choice in the matter; it had to
be done,” said Schwartzman.

ty Ginzburg, who is a member of
the Executive Budget Committee,
said she feels tht ‘Every single

Ginzburg said, “I feel for the

they need money. However, we
can only allocate as much money
as we have.”” The whole purpose
of the budget “was to make a

“No one group was singled

asks for more money than they
need, and we’re being very careful
when evaluating their budgets,”
he said.

“Next year will be a very dif-

for this,”*he said. © Oo

WEBA sees lack of abortion info as exploitative

By Leigh Bernard
STAFF WRITER

No woman would ever consent
to an abortion if she were proper-
ly informed of the nature of the
procedure, according to Lisa
Murray, a member of Women Ex-
ploited by Abortion (WEBA).

Murray spoke Wednesday!
night at a presentation entitled
“Abortion: What effect does it
have on women?’’, sponsored by
the Albany State Christian
Fellowship (ASCF). About 30
people, mostly women, attended
the event.

WEBA is an organization
whose members are women who
have experienced abortion. These
women offer information about
the potential physical and
psychological effects of abortion
as well as offering counseling to
women who have had abortions
and feel they have been exploited.

“«Abortion is one of the highest
forms of exploitation,”’ said Mur-
ray. “‘There are many dangers
women face when they undergo
an abortion. The people perform-
ing this major surgical procedure
fail to inform women about the
physical and emotional side ef-

fects on the woman, side effects
which last a lifetime.”’

Murray began her speech by
telling of her own experience with
abortion. According to Murray,
“Society offers women no choices
and actually encourages women
to ‘take the easy way out’. This is
just what I did and it is something
I will regret for as long as I live.””

Murray read passages from
Gloria Swanson’s novel Swanson
on Swanson in which the actress
laments her decision to have an
abortion in 1924 for the rest of
her life.

Quotes from Swanson’s book
were followed by several graphic

accounts of women whom Mur- j

ray said were traumatized because
they were not properly informed
about the abortion procedure.

Murray told of a woman who
became seriously depressed after
undergoing an abortion. The
woman said she knew what she
was doing was wrong, yet felt she
has no other choice. The woman
was told that the abortion would
only remove a superficial blob of
flesh with only minor discomfort,
Murray said.

But as soon as the suction ap-

paratus was turned on, the
woman said she felt her child be-
ing ripped from her. After the
procedure was completed, Mur-
ray said the woman looked down
and started to scream when she
saw pieces of her baby in a pool
of blood.

“‘Attendance was roughly what

we expected,’’ said ASCF
member Robert Dale, ‘‘although
we would hope to see more
students in the future because this
is an issue that concerns all
students.’”

Rebecca Stanley, also a
member of ASCF, said “‘speakers
like Lisa (Murray) are necessary
because it is important for women
to know that they can receive
help, understanding and love in a
non-judgmental atmosphere.

Some members of the audience
did not share Murray’s views and
felt that her presentation was
overly dramatic.

Joan Griffin, a SUNYA stu-
dent, said, “I was not impressed

with tonight’s speaker. This was
just a play on emotions as well as
oversimplification of a many sid-
ed issue.”

Another SUNYA  sudent,
Kathy Heron, expressed similar
views. “This presentation was
one sided and sensationalized. It
did not represent abortion as a
women’s issue accurately.”

However, Dale said that Mur-
ray’s speech made people aware
that SUNYA students need a
group like WEBA on campus and
encouraged everyone to attend
the general interest meeting which
will be held sometime in the near
future. a

Fight the ‘W’

In SA elections, very little changes from year to
year.

Every year, about this time, different people run
for office, taking sides on issues, many of which
stay the same. But one issue that was a hot topic last
year has seemingly been forgotten — the ‘W’.

It’s only been two years since the University
adopted the policy, and not even a year has gone by
since it was implemented. Yet to the majority of the
student population, the ‘W’ might as well be carved
in stone.

As far as most students are concerned, there are
several different grades one can receive on one’s
transcript: A-E, S or U, Inc., Z (which many
people, luckily, are unfamiliar with) and now the
W. It’s as if it’s always been there.

Believe it or not, there once was a time when
students could register for a class they thought
might be a bit of a challenge, attend it for a few
weeks, and then drop it if it proved to be too
difficult. With no ‘W’.

There once was a time when students could
afford to keep a class for a while, even though it
seemed that the course was a bit more difficult than
had been expected. With no ‘W’.

There once was a time when students could bomb
on their midterms, and then drop the course to take
another crack at it next semester. With no ‘W’.
The ‘W’ is something that most people don’t like
— not students, and not professors. The only
people that wholeheartedly support the policy are
the administrators. Ironically, the ‘W’ may prove to
do more harm to the University than to any of its
students.

One professor noted that the ‘W’ had forced
students to register for fewer courses than in prior
years, which lowered the ratio of students to faculty
at SUNYA. This figure is used to help determine
how much state dollars the University gets each
year. If the ratio goes down, so do the funds.

It seems that the ‘W’ does a lot more harm than
good in many areas. It may be time for student
leaders to renew their battle to fight the ‘W’. But
this time around, let’s keep the battle drums going a
bit longer.

SA elections

After sitting through hours upon hours of
Student Association election endorsement
interviews, we realized that we had a tough decision
to make — there was more than one qualified
candidate running for each position.
We had to go back several years to find two races
as competitive as the ones coming up next week.
Our endorsements and evaluations reflect just how
close the races are.
In selecting the two candidates to endorse, we
concentrated on what we felt SA needed most for
next year. We looked for a president who could
provide SA with leadership that balances
programming, student activism, and recuitment.
We wanted someone who would do more than just
pick up where the present administation left off.
While SA’s current leaders did a commendable job
dealing with the city and University adminstration,
we were looking for someone who would put SA
back on a more multidimensional path, and provide
greater access to students.
For the vice president we were looking for a
candidate with a strong background in
programming; someone who could do work behind
the scenes and stick to it all year. Also, we wanted
someone whose ideas were innovative, but small
enough to be workable.
One area we tried to watch closely with all the
candidates was the new ideas they suggested. It’s
easy to propose innovative ideas, but far more
difficult to carry them out. We tried to disregard
even the best ideas we heard if they weren’t
workable.
We urge our readers to scrutinize all the
candidates. Making a selection this year isn’t as
simple as choosing the one qualified candidate.

“Yoll SAY SOMETHIN’, WISE GUY?”

Vote ‘yes’ for athletics

On April 14 and 15 the students at Albany will be mak-
ing a very important decision. Simply put, the fate of the
athletic program will be in their hands as they vote on a
referendum, which states, ‘‘Shall the students of SUNY.
Albany add $3.00 (one dollar and fifty cents per semester)
to the present activity fee to be used for the funding of
post-season athletics.’’

Kristine Sauer

If the referendum does not pass the consequences to the
athletic program would be drastic. Other alternatives if
the raise is not supported are to take the money from the
groups, not to fund post-season play or reduce it, or to
fund post-season out of money already allocated to
athletics. All three of these have faults.

First of all, to continue the present way of paying for
playoffs translates into guaranteeing a deficit in SA’s
budget. This funding is not allocated in the budget and is
based on expected future assets. Usually they use $10,000
as a guideline for the Post-Contingency fund, but this is
money that is not really in the budget, ‘funny money,”
and works similar to the Emergency Spending Line (ESL)
of SA. The fund covers the costs, such as food, transpor-
tation, and lodging of the athletes who participate in
playoffs. The funding used to come from a budget
surplus in SA, but has not been available for two years
due to a deficit.

SA is taking the right stand by doing a little future
planning in terms of the budget. They are trying to be
responsible. If SA continues funding post-season par-
ticipation in this manner everyear when the money is
needed, Central Council will be asked to appropriate the

‘ money, just as they had to this February. On Feb. 19 of

this year, SUNYA’s winter athletic teams were
guaranteed $19,000 to pay tournament expenses.

Taking an amount like $25,000 from the groups isn’t
fair, and SA does not wish to do that.

If the referendum fails, the only alternative left is in
the hands of the athletic department. By budgeting for a
Post-Contingency fund, approximately $27,000 is en-
sured for post-season action. The alternative, to stop
playoff funding altogether, questions the value of post-
season play.

Imagine the difference if there were no chance for
athletes to participate in playoffs this year. The eight
winter teams who qualified would not have gone. The
football team, who just missed an NCAA bid, would not
have won the ECACs. The men’s tennis team would not
have won a record seventh straight SUNYAC title. That’s
just a sampling of the fall season.

Picture the winter post-season madness that hit
Albany, and how it would not have mattered because the
seasons would have been over. Wrestlers Chris Tironi and
Shawn Sheldon would not have become national cham-
pions. High jumper Dave Walker would not be the best in
the country. The women’s basketball team would not
have finished eighth in the nation in Division III. And the
list goes on.

Discontinuing post-season play is not the answer. The
entire university benefits from it. These athletes represent
Albany State and their successes bring positive publicity
to the school and the area. For the athletes it gives them
the opportunity to see if they can become their best

capable. Athletics are based on competition and striving
for goals, being the best in the state or nation is a dream
all teams have.

Not allowing athletes to do what they are setting out to
do is not right. The incentive for participating in playoffs
is too vital to be lost.

The final alternative is to fund for the post-season out
of money already allocated to athletics, specifically, the
$24 out of the present $100 activity fee that goes directly
to the regular seasons of all the teams. If they only needed
to come up with a thousand dollars or so they could go to
the coaches and trim a little from each program. But an
amount like $27,000 will make an impact- a big one. This
amount translates into eliminating three programs.

According to Football coach and assistant athletic
director Bob Ford, this is a little dangerous to say, but
programs will have to be drastically reduced. Athletic
Director Dr. Bill Moore admits this alternative is not a
pleasant one. He said it would be counterproductive to
take money out of the programs by reducing them, if not
eliminating some sports.

The severity of the implications if this referendum does
not pass are unbelievable.

Over the last few years there has been a trend for suc-
cess in the athletic programs. And this year was no excep-
tion. Eight of eight winter teams or athletes representing
teams which qualified for post season play. The fall
record is also impressive. All but one sport finished above
.500. And the spring is looking good.

To penalize the athletes for doing well is ridiculous.
The athletes should be supported by the students to repre-
sent the school at championship tournaments.

If the students choose the only alternative that is feasi-
ble, to pass the proposal, this should keep the post-
contingency fund afloat for approximately five years.

A lot of people wonder if the estimated $27,000 which
would be budgeted would solve the problem alone. That
sum should cover all the sports if they went to playoffs.
This of course depends on the type of year athletic pro-
grams have. The money designated by the proposal would
not cover all sports including football. Ford said football
blows it out of proportion.

This year the football team was reimbursed fully from
the ECACs. The women’s basketball team, which missed
the final four by a game, will be getting reimbursement
back from their NCAA competition.. Revenue sports
almost always get some, if not all, the money back.

The proposal up for vote is the best solution to the pro-
blem. By putting up this referendum SA is trying to be
fiscally responsible for the budget. Extra money from the
fund, even though it’s a separate account, goes into the
general fund which would help reduce a deficit at the end
of the year.

Still not sold? Here’s another way to look at it. There is
no admission fee for students to attend sporting events at
Albany State. At a lot of schools they do charge for
tickets to attend games. Let’s consider the $3.00 fee in-
crease as if it were a season pass to all the regular games.
Pretty small price to pay, isn’t it? And if students don’
utilize it, then it’s their own fault.

SPECIAL
SA ELECTIONS
SUPPLEMENT

Paco Duarte

When Paco Duarte ran for SA President a year ago, the
endorsement board was impressed with his ideas and his
knowledge of SA. What he lacked was experience, and a
political sophistication in his plans for dealing with city
and university officials.

Since then he has spent a year as SA’s Minority Affairs
Coordinator, and worked on a broad range of student
issues.

He has now developed a more realistic approach for
handling relations with the city. That, coupled with his
clearly outlined plans for running an SA that balances
programming, working on student issues, and diverse
recruitment, makes him the choice of the endorsement
board.

Duarte had obviously done some research before his in-
terview. He had apparently analyzed many of the
weaknesses of this year’s SA, spoken to some former SA
executives, and from that, devised some innovative solu-
tions for next year.

SA, he said, should have been more accessible to the
students and more responsible to its funded and recogniz-
ed groups. He plans to initiate this by developing a
resource manual, similar to Viewpoints, containing infor-
mation about all the groups, and phone numbers of all
the SA executives. This manual would be distributed at
Group Fair day and in Barnes and Noble. (Barnes and
Noble has already shown some interest in this.)

One of Duarte’s best recruitment ideas was an innova-
tion no one else mentioned — a brief job training pro-
gram for students applying for SA positions. Applicants
would be required to attend a brief training session before
their interview. This would provide an equal opportunity
for those applicants who have less experience in SA.

Another good idea Duarte suggested was the formation
of a tenants’ rights association for dorm residents. In the
face of self-sufficiency, he said, students must demand
their rights as tenants. These rights include stricter lock-
up checks, cleaner living situations, and better building
maintenance.

— Women’s issues were also a high priority for Duarte.
He explained that sometimes little progress is made on

Mark Rivers

The first thing that impressed the endorsement board
about Mark Rivers was his persuasive speaking abilities.

Throughout the interview, Rivers displayed many addi-
tional qualifications that would make him a Student
Association president. He lacked, however, an understan-
ding of minority issues and minority recruitment. Rivers
also did not present realistic plans of action for many of
his ideas. These weaknesses, particularly the first one,
could be'a'detriment to SA,
Activism is Rivers’ greatest strength. Rivers stressed us-

women’s issues because SA lacks someone to follow
through on the projects initiated by various people. To
rectify this, he proposed a women’s affairs coordinator
who would work on specific women’s issues, such as safe-
ty and greater representation in SA. The coordinator
would be part of the minority affairs office and would be
a member of the executive branch, with a possible sti-
pend. According to Duarte this positon has been suc-
cessfully initiated at SUNY Binghamton.

Duarte did have some weaknesses. The endorsement
board felt that his most significant shortcoming was in
dealing with problems that might arise with university of-
ficials. Duarte said he would look out for students’ in-
terests by anticipating potential conflicts with the ad-
ministration and taking measures to prevent them or fight
them before they become policy.

While this is a worthy plan, he was a little too op-
timistic about how often it will actually work. In the event
that his plan failed, his only alternatives were to continue
to negotiate with university officials, or to resort to stan-
dard student activist tactics, such as rallies and constant
phone calls.

Duarte did demonstrate that he’d already given some
thought to next year’s potential student issue battles.
Specifically he mentioned that SA must prepare to fight
against a tuition hikes which may be proposed soon after
the upcoming gubernatorial election. In addition, he’d
already written to John Hartigan, vice president of
finance, regarding his opposition to the possible discon-
tinuation of the Wellington busline.

One other weakness the endorsement board noticed
was in the area of community relations. While Duarte did
propose a few possible events that involved the city, he
lacked a comprehensive plan for building upon SA’s rela-
tionship with city officials and residents, which was
established by the current SA administration.

Some of Duarte’s smaller ideas dealing with communi-
ty interaction were group clean-ups, getting students
more involved in the city’s tricentennial celebration, and
having members of Central Council and members of City
Council sit in on each other’s meetings.

ing ‘‘proactive activism”’ or lobbying for an issue before a
crisis erupts, as an effective means of protecting student
interests.

To achieve this activism, Rivers proposed reorganizing
the Student Advocacy Rights Coalition (SARC) which
began last fall, but has not lived up to its full potential,
said Rivers. ‘SARC wasn’t used very much [this year].
You don’t have to have a rally or a pressing issue’’ to use
SARC, Rivers said.

Rivers said that bringing new people into SA would be
a priority of his administration. His ideas on ac-
complishing these goals, however, reflected little
knowledge of how this might be accomplished, especially
in the case of minority recruitment. The board felt Rivers
would ultimately fail in minority recruitment because of
his lack of understanding of minorities.

After compiling lists of minority students, which Rivers
wasn’t even sure where he could get them, Rivers said
would then identify these students and try to recruit them.
These lists, he said could be provided by the BOP Office,
the Registrar, and the University’s Affirmative Action
Office, Rivers said. His belief that EOP caters to
minorities and his omission of the office of Minority Stu-
dent Services shows his ignorance on the subject.

He seemed to think that recruiting minority students in-
to SA after identifying them wouldn’t be difficult. Past
history indicates that his optimism is unfounded.

Improving relations with the community was one of
Rivers’ top priorities. He demonstrated a sound
knowledge of the workings of the city and county govern-
ments that could help continue where the present SA ad-
ministration left off.

Rivers also proposed Community Involvement Pro-
grams (CIPs) in which student groups would be strongly
encouraged to perform some service to the local com-
munity. One of the examples he gave was the Great Dane
Athletics In Neighborhoods (GAIN), a program where
SUNYA athletes would hold athletic clinics for local
youngsters. Rivers said the ideas for this type of program-

To increase minority recruitment in SA, Duarte sug-
gested greater use of SA’s affirmative action coordinator.
This person would be responsible for suveying leaders of
traditionally non-minority groups to keep on top of any
openings and find out what, if any, minority recruitment
methods they use.

One disappointing ommission from Duarte’s student
activism plans for next year was the Student Advocacy
and Rights Coalition (SARC), an innovative activism net-
work that SA started this year.

It is apparent that Paco Duarte has grown into a more
complete candidate for the office of president of the Stu-
dent Association. It is the belief of the endorsement
board that he now has the experience and the ideas to
move SA in a good direction. Qo

PRESIDENTIAL EVALUATION

ming are simple and obvious. Another example he of-
fered was that when a quad board puts on a musical,
some or all of it, could be performed at a local nursing
home.-

Rivers also proposed creating a student tricentennial
committee as a way to improve relations with the com-
munity. It would instill in students civic pride and allow
the ‘‘city to see us as model citizens,”” said Rivers.

One answer he gave, however, sounded like he may be
a little too willing to cooperate with the city, possibly
sacrificing students’ rights as residents. Responding to
our question on what he would do if the city refused to
give OCA a permit for ‘‘Party in the Park,”’ Rivers said
he would have to live with the decision. ‘‘That’s in their
[the city of Albany] sphere,”’ he said. Apparently forget-
ting that students are residents he added that Mayor
‘Whalen does not have the same obligation to students as
President O’Leary does and that the Mayor’s first com-
mitment is to the ‘‘residents” and then to the students.

Rivers had many good ideas on improving women’s
safety. Among these were mandating UPD to station an
officer on Alumni Quad and recruiting SA officials and

Presidential
Questions

SA is at a turning point due to
lack of student interest. This
directly affects school spirit and
programming. We need to per-

sonalize SA to make it ap-
proachable, accessible and
responsible for the accurate
representation of students. SA
must also continue student ac-
tivism to combat a tuition budget
hike after the Gubernatorial elec-
tion, help to organize a Tenants’
Association to fight self-
sufficiency.

1. The Vice President’s position is
loosely defined in the SA constitu-
tion. How would you interpret
your duties?

Tihan Presbie

My duties as the SA Vice Presi-
dent are extremely important. I’ll
be in charge of programming
events as well as in charge of the
SA budget and the hiring for cer-
tain positions. I plan to work
closely with the President to
establish a new image for SA by
both myself and the President be-
ing very visible and giving
speeches at all major events.

2. Pick one of the priorities you
just listed and describe how you
would go about seeing it through.

On and off-campus safety is a
critical issue facing students.
Upon my election as SA Presi-
dent, I will take immediate steps
to improve lighting on campus
this semester. The SA will demand
new lighting, increased UPD
patrols, and tighter quad security.
We will work to secure a UPD
substation on Alumni Quad and
lend greater support to ‘‘Don’t
Walk Alone.”’

In order to personalize SA and
make it available to the campus
community, SA needs to produce
a Resource Directory. This will
contain the names and telephone
numbers of all the Executive
Branch officers, Central Council
representatives, and the
Presidents of campus groups to
make it easier for students to get
involved. This directory would
make students a phone call away
from SA and all the groups.

2. What specific programming
ideas or projects would you want
to see initiated?

I have many new programming
ideas such as bringing the Harlem
Globetrotters and professional
wrestling to the gym. I’m going to
have more comedy nights. My
“Albany Today” project will let
all students know when these
events are happening. I’m going
to have huge promotions for the
sporting events in conjunction
with the fraternities.

3. The current SA administration
has made substantial im-
provements in relations with the
city. What specific steps would
you take to continue this or im-
prove upon it?

I would develop a system of CIPs
(Community Involvement Pro-
jects) for all organizations in SA.
Our administration would work
toward not only improving our
relationship with the Mayor, but
also with the community popula-
tion. I’d like to see a SUNYA Day
at the local malls with tables and
displays and a student Albany
Tricentennial Committee. By
reaching the general public —
through direct contact and in-
direct image building — we can
make great strides.

An Albany Awareness Day on
campus will give the Mayor and
the City Common Council the op-
portunity to tour the campus and
experience student life at Albany
State. Furthermore, the student-
city exchange program will invoke
neighborhood associations and ci-
ty officials to participate in Cen-
tral Council and in the SA office.
The city has already shown en-
thusiastic interest in these two
projects.

3. With the 21-year old drinking
age in effect, there is clearly 2
need for good non-alcoholic
events. What new ideas would you
have for programming of this
kind?

My new ideas for non-alcoholic
events include as I said before, the
Harlem Globetrotters and profes-
sional wrestlers at the gym. There
will be more comedy nights to
promote the many coltural events
already on campus. There will be
a huge ‘Albany Today” board in
the campus center and one on all
the quads.

4. A new alcohol policy went into
effect this semester that prohibits
kegs and beer balls in suite and
dorm rooms. Would you seek a

change in this policy? If so, how?
If not, why?

We must first make the effort to
teview the policy and its effects to
date. Before we can pass judge-
ment, we must become aware of
the Alcohol Policy’s impact on
student rights and student life. If,
in the future, the students of this
campus demand a change in the
existing policy, the SA will ad-
dress that need and capitalize with
student activism.

Dr. Pogue has established the
University Alcohol Committee
that is responsible to monitor the
effects of the new policy. This
gives the students an opportunity
to prove the adverse side effects of
the alcohol policy. This policy has
promoted unsuccessful program-
ming events that affect group
budgets and social atmosphere.
We are going to negotiate with the
administration and balance it with
student activism.

4, How would you recruit unin-
volved students to join SA groups
and/or become active in fighting
for student interests?

The new “SA Explorer’? packet is
designed specifically to recruit
uninvolved students to join SA
groups and become active in
fighting for student interests. The
SA Explorer will show students
how to explore everything SA has
to offer. The Albany Today
bulletin boards will help get
students out for important events.

5. The relocation of the Off-
Campus Housing Office to State
Quad and the death of OCA’s
mewspaper Downtown have
somewhat isolated off-campus
students. How would you inform
those students of the services SA
offers and recruit them to get in-
volved in SA?

The relocation of OCHO to State
Quad was ridiculous. It
demonstrates the Administra-
tion’s genuine — or lack of ge-
nuine — concern for our off-
campus students. With OCA, we
must make an additional effort to
inform off-campus students of
SA’s activities and express .our
concern for their special needs. By
Participating in an active, com-
minity relations campaign based
on students, we can make all
students more involved.

There is a need for SA to revitalize
OCA and ensure that the
downtown publication is produc-
ed and distributed. In addition,
the off-campus community will be
signed up for the off-campus news
list to be used for direct mailing.
Furthermore, the SA Resource
Directory will be made available
for the off-campus students at
Barnes and Noble, Campus
Center and at off-campus sites
such as bars and supermarkets.

5. Breifly describe what Af!
mative Action means to you. How
would you want this definition to
fit into the hiring practices of your
administration?

Affirmative Action is a policy
designed to help students
previously discriminated against.
The hiring practices of my ad-
ministration will not only support
Affirmative Action but will take
further steps to get minority
students involved such as using
mailing lists and personeal con-
tact. It’s extremely important to
use affirmative action when hir-
ing, otherwise minority students
would be at a worse advantage
than they already are.

6. What was SA’s biggest fault
this year? How would you prevent
it next year?

SA’s biggest fault was a lack of
communication. It failed to see
the “‘big picture’ of a balanced
Student Association featuring stu-
dent activism and active program-
ming. This year’s SA did not com-
municate within its own sphere of
influence nor in the student com-
munity. Next year, I will en-
courage active cooperation in SA
and cooperative action among all
‘students. ‘

SA’s biggest problems this year
was the lack of internal com-
munication. There wasn’t a focal
chief spokesperson for SA who
dealt with the administration,
allowing it to recognize that SA
was not united. Furthermore, SA
members engaged in personal at-
tacks. The SA President and the
Vice President need to appoint of-
ficers who will be responsible to
their postions and who have an in-
terest in a working relationship,

6. What was SA’s biggest fault
this year? How would you prevent
it next year?

This year the biggest fault of SA
was simply the slacking off of
duties. It is ultimately the fault of
the SA president if anyone in his
administration isn’t doing a good
job. The President and Vice Presi-
dent must be much stricter with
the people working for them. If
someone isn’t doing a good job

.they should know that they may

lose it.

Polciy Council, 5. Member,
“University as a Neighbor” Off-

My experience as an active student
rights advocate — Quad Coor-
dinator, Alcohol Rally and
Divestment Rally.

I bring to thé position of Presi-
dent the experience of being a
member of the executive branch
of SA where I acquired the
knowledge and practical ex-
perience of all the offices. I was
also the organizer of the divest-
ment rally, USSA delegate, SASU
member, CDSA member, member
of the President’s Task Force on
‘Women’s Safety, and SUNY Cen-
tral Quality of Student Life Task
Force member.

7. What experience would you br-
ing to the position of SA Vice
President?

I bring more experience to the
position of SA Vice President
than any other candidate. My
qualifications come in all dif-
ferent areas. I’ve been President
of the Student Association soccer
club for two years. I’m a represen-
tative on the library council of the
University Senate. I’ve been on
the Intercollegiate athletic council
for two years and am currently the
captain of the men’s varsity soccer

The SA Vice President needs to be
a strong and respected leader for
students on this campus. Besides
that, the Vice President can have
an important impact on the quali-
ty of life on campus by seeing that
SA holds more popular events and
provides better services for
st its.

Irwin Weinstein

I see the duties of the Vice Presi-
dent to be, 1. Responsible for
keeping SA operating, 2. Being a
mediator for any trouble that may
arise within SA and its groups, 3.
Be able to work with the president
on campus-wide events. I see the
Vice President being the pivotal
player behind the success of the
Student Association.

SUNYA needs more large scale
events, like Mayfest, that give our
school its identity. I feel that a
large carnival with all the rides
and games would be an excellent
event to hold on campus. Held
during a weekend in the Fall, this
could turn into an annual event

that people would look forward
to.

The first project 1 would like to
see from the programming office
next fall is a questionnaire that
would find out what the students
themselves are interested in. What
may seem like a great idea to the
programming director and myself
may not be to the students. There
would also be a seminar for all
groups on how to program events,
and a reinstatement of the ac-
tivities hotline.

Mote than non-alcoholic pro-
gramming ideas, SA needs good
programming ideas. We should
stop dwelling on the 21-year old

ing age and concentrate on
planning the best events we can.
Comedy nights, casino nights,
one-act play tournaments and the
Fall Carnival are all good
examples.

With the 21-year old drinking age
in effect there is an urgent need
for events that do not have
alcohol as a priority. Some events
that I feel would be well attended
are: a campus-wide airband con-
test, a magician, a hypnotist, the
return of comedy nights, road
rallies, cruises and a SUNY
Olympics.

SA has to make more people
aware of the opportunities that
exist in student government. At
the same time, we have to
recOgnize the fact that there are a
lot of potential student leaders
who aren’t yet involved in SA and
be willing let new people assume
responsiblility, take on charges
andl exercise leadership.

A pamphlet would be made with a
list of all campus groups with a
contact name and number. The
pamphlets would be distributed
using the RA’s in the fall, and in
the campus center tables. Second
would be an SA mixer in either the
ballroom or an LC giving students
a chance to meet SA and group
leaders. There would be info
boards on the quads, campus
center and bus shelters.

We have to make it easier for
minority students to get involved
in SA. To implement Affirmative
Action, we have to judge those
students who haven’t had a fair
chance in the past, more on their
potential than on experience. We
also have to make it a priority to
work harder to recruit students
who traditionally haven’t been at-
tracted to SA.

Affirmative action gives minority
students an opportunity to be in-
tegrated into SA by giving them
special consideration in positions
that are trainable. The integration
of minorities into the student
association mainstream is a very
high priority of mine. I see this
best accomplished by recruiting as
many minorities as possible, and
matching minority candidates to
areas in which they are interested.

SA this year has been a powerful
voice for the interests of students.
SA may have neglected
however, was a commitment to
the parts of SA that touch the
students most directly. We need to
ourselves to the strength
of 'the SA funded groups and
work harder to ensure that our
events, activities and services are
effective.

The Student Association’s major
fault this year was its communica-
tion to the students, lack of adver-
tising and also the ongoing inter-
nal conflicts causing limited pro-
ductivity. To solve this problem, I
would initiate the project -
tioned in question two. Second is
the establishment of
legislative/executive meetings to
iron out differences. Finally is the
appointment of a publicity direc-
tor to consult groups on effective
advertising.

As the only vice-presidential can-
didate who has served as an of-
ficet in SA’s Executive Branch,
my experience is unique. Not only
have I had a hand in running SA
this year, but I have also been part
of the team that beat the Grouper
law; worked for better lighting on
campus and fought the alcohol
policy, always taking a strong
stand for student rights.

To the position of Vice President I
bring three years of. student
association, and group ex-
perience, these experiences being
extremely diverse. I have been

REFERENDUM

“Shall the students of SUNY
Albany add $3.00 (one dollar and
fifty cents per semester) to the
present activity fee to be designated
for the funding of post-season
athletics”

This referendum allows SA
continue to fund intercollegiate
athletics, without cutting any sports
programs or taking money away
from SA funded groups.

This referendum is needed at this
time because SA has always covered
expenses for post-season play by
drawing against next year’s receipts,
part of which are collected prior to

that budgetary year. Eventually this
method of financing results in a
deficit which can’t be covered by the
next year’s budget.

We urge students to fully maintain
our athletic program by supporting
this referendum.

Currently, post-season funding is
supplied through $10,000 of what
SA Controller Eric Schwartzman
describes as‘‘funny money,” —
funds taken from next year’s
receipts. The money is used for
teams’ expenses, such as
transportation and food, during the
playoff period.

This year, our athletes did so well
that the money ran out.

Playoff requirements amounted to
over $19,000 for winter sports alone.
The options: find more money or
don’t allow the teams to participate.

The only ways that SA can get
more money for athletics are
through this fee hike or by taking
money from SA’s funded groups,
which wouldn’t be fair to them. This
referendum is the most practical way
for SA to continue to adequately
fund its groups and our athletic
program.

WHAT IS SA?

Student Association is made up of an executive branch,
a legislative branch called Central Council, and a judicial
branch, with a system of checks and balances, similar to
the U.S. government.

There are 33 members elected to Central Council: Four
representatives from each quad, three of which are
elected in the spring; and thirteen off-campus represen-
tatives, nine of which are elected in the spring. The addi-
tional Council members are elected in fall bi-elections.

Council is divided into six committees: Finance,
Academics, Intercollegiate Athletics, Student Action, and
Student Community. Every Council member sits on at
least one committee; any interested student can join. The
committees work on a variety of projects and draft
legislation which Council votes on every Wednesday
night. The SA President and Vice Presicent can submit
legislation and make motions, but they can’t vote on bills.

The executive branch is comprised of six positions: the
President, Vice President, Controller, Programming
Director, Minority Affairs Coordinator, and Media
Director.

SA operates as an actual governmental body with the
Tight to tax its citizens and then allocate the money ina
budget that comes close to a million dollars,

Each year we are taxed a $99 mandatory student activi-
ty fee, Every four years, including this one, we can vote
on whether to continue this. About half of the fee goes to
funding intercollegiate athletics. The other half of the fee
funds more than 90 campus groups, such as Speaker’s
Forum and quad boards.

Presbie

The annual budgetary process begins early in the spring
semester when a budget committee, comprised of in-
terested students including some not active in SA, is ap-
pointed. The committee reviews all budget applications
from all the SA groups and sends a proposed budget to
the SA President who then reviews it, makes any changes
he or she wants, and then sends it to the Council. Once it
has been reviewed and approved by Council, it must be
approved by the SA President and the University
President.

gram card to prove that you are a full-time student.

Once you’ve got this sticker, cast your ballot in the

ministrator of SA. Any ‘“‘slacking
off’’ would not be tolerated, and he
would not hesitate to request
resignations from repeat offenders.

Presbie, who has not attended a
Central Council meeting this year,

dent, Tuttle had no qualms about
taking a back seat, which is com-
mendable. But he is a little too will-
ing to be excluded from the presi-
dent’s office. He said he would
“never have the desire to make an
issue of it,” if problems arose. As
vice president, he doesn’t have to
take an active role in everything the
president does, but he has to know
what’s going on.

still felt it is important to get to know
everyone on Council. He felt it
would be important to inform all
members of Council on big issues, as
the vice president would ‘know bet-
ter than Council” on most issues.

In the end, Presbie’s ideas fell
something short of being complete.
While most seemed inspired by
sincere intent, they largely lacked
follow-up thought and organization.

Oo

Tuttle would be a strong visible
leader, but this may only be as an ad-
vocate of issues. While it’s good that
he sees the importance of activism, it
seems he is more committed to issues
than programming. The board ques-
tions his dedication to programming
over student activism; Tuttle’s in-
terests more suited for the role
of president.

Central Council members for ‘Don’t Walk Alone” as
escorts. He lacked specifics on how to accomplish these
goals.

The board particularly liked Rivers’ proposal to ex-
plore the possibility of establishing a student credit union
sometime in the future. This credit union would provide
on-campus banking services to students such as short-
term loans, writing checks for students, and filling out tax
returns. Rivers said that a credit union like this at
Georgetown University has been very successful.

Rivers said that although this credit union would take
several years to implement, ‘‘in only one year you can
research it and take a look at possibilities.’’

The board believes that Rivers has the capacity to serve
the campus well, in spite of a few weaknesses. Rivers does
have stong leadership qualities and is not an easy can-
didate to dismiss. ie]

Ilene Weinstein. |

Irwin Weinstein is not a polished, charismatic student
leader with rehearsed answers for every question.

Upon first impression, Weinstein does not appear to
have what it takes to be SA vice president, but his record
of successful programming and ability to work behind the
scenes make him the candidate whom the endorsement
board felt could best provide SA with what it needs for
next year.

As vice president, Weinstein is not likely to shoot for a
few elaborate projects, but rather focus his attention on
several smaller, more feasible programs to make SA a

ni Quad Board Vice President and co-chair of Central
Council’s Student Community Committee prove that he
has the ability to make these programs work.

One of Weinstein’s strongest attributes is his commit-
ment to improved communication between the Executive
Branch and SA funded groups and within SA itself. His
plan for regular bi-weekly meetings with the Executive
Branch members and frequent meetings with leaders of
SA groups and Central Council committee chairs could
greatly lessen conflicts and feelings of isolation within SA
as a whole.

However, despite Weinstein’s sincere belief in ‘‘sitting
down and talking,’’ he seemed a little too unrealistic
about expected meeting attendance. The possibility of
becoming too bogged down in meetings is one Weinstein
will have to work to avoid.

But perhaps Weinstein’s biggest shortcoming is his lack
of the dynamic personality and charisma needed to
recruit, inspire and retain people in SA. His sincerity and
persistence, however, may compensate at least in part for
this while also serving to keep SA motiviated throughout
the year.

One of Weinstein’s ideas which impressed the board
was his proposal to create a position of publicity director
to do the “‘legwork”’ for the media director. The publicity
director would be a consultant to SA groups on how to
advertise and promote their activities and would be train-
ed by members of groups who had successfully program-
med events in the past. This position has the potential to
make significant strides toward improved attendance at
campus events.

Weinstein also presented feasible and fairly innovative
programming ideas which included a revival of Comedy
Nights, magicians, trips to Saratoga Race Track, student
act concerts, and a road rally during which students
search for landmarks in Albany within a certain amount
of time. 10 determine the potential success of these
events, Weinstein plans to distribute questionnaires gaug-
ing student responsiveness.

VICE PRESIDENTIAL ENDORSEMENT ™

cess is a Student Services Committee of SA to investigate
and solicit discounts available to students.

Although Weinstein showed a genuine concern for
minority recruitment and an enthusiasm for following
SA‘s policy of affirmative action, he did not display an
adequate enough grasp of what affirmative action actual-
ly is and he lacked a program for bringing minorities into
SA.

To promote the safety of women on campus, Weinstein
has already begun pushing for an interquad van which
would chauffeur students around the uptown campus at
night. He also stressed working with the city to improve
lighting on the downtown campus, although he lacked a
specific plan on how to go about this.

While Weinstein said that he would not come out ac-
tively in support or opposition to the funding of the New
York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) which
will be voted on next spring, he did Say that he would like
“more proof of what they’re doing with their money.” If
at that time he felt that NYPIRG was not “reaching
out,”’ he would be in favor of it losing student funding.
He also included the Student Association of the State
University (SASU) in this theory. While it’s commen-
dable that he wants to watch out for the students’ money,
both SASU and NYPIRG provide valuable student ser-
vices and statewide networking. Losing them would be a
mistake.

In addition to his proposed publicity director, Weins-
tein also plans to increase student participation in events
and groups by having an “SA mixer’ similar to SA Day
and creating information boards to be posted on quad
dinner lines.

Weinstein has a three-year record of involvement with
student issues and programming, including serving on
Central Council, Alumni Quad Board and University
Senate.

This experience, combined with his sincere desire to put
in the hours of solid, behind-the-scenes work needed to be
a successful vice president convinced us that Irwin Weins-

solid and effective organization. His experience as Alum-

VICE PRESIDENTIAL EVALUATIONS

Doug Tuttle

As SA Media Director this past year,
Doug Tuttle spent a good portion of his
time working on student activist issues.
Although he has many programming
ideas, throughout the interview Tuttle
displayed more of an enthusiasm in work-
ing for student rights.

The endorsement board feels that SA
needs someone in the vice-presidential of-
fice who has a greater interest in program-
ming and who has proven experience to
back that up. Tuttle doesn’t fit that
description.

With the exception of that shortcoming,
Tuttle possesses all the qualifications to be
a good vice-president.

As vice president, both the programm-
ing director and group leaders would look
to Tuttle for suggestions and guidance in
planning events. Since he has no previous
programming experience, he would have
difficulty assisting them in this capacity.

But Tuttle does have some good ideas
for the Programming and Media offices,
the two areas he is directly responsible for.
In the Programming Office, he feels the
programming director should be surround-
ed by a staff of people to be the ‘arms and
legs’’ of him or her. Tuttle said that the
Programming Director ‘‘can’t do it all.””
He points out, for example, that no quad
board would expect one person run an
event as costly as Gamble Fling.

Although Tuttle did propose a long list
of good ideas for programming, a few
were far too large to undertake, others
lacked a feasible plan for initiation and at
least one other, a university-wide barbe-
que, didn’t seem worth the trouble.

One of his better proposals is not a
specific programmed event. Tuttle plans to
scrap the term “‘non-alcoholic’’ program-
ming because of its negative connotations.

Tuttle expressed the need for a campus-
wide event in the fall — a carnival in which
both the university and the city would par-
ticipate. Although organizing such an
event so early in the year may not be prac-
tical and could drain a lot of the resources
of SA, it is a good idea for its money-
making possibilities and community

Another of Weinstein’s proposals which could be a suc-

orientation.

To address school spirit, he suggested a
Spirit Week, which would involve the
“‘underutilized”’ Spirit Committee. Bring-
ing comedians in for a Pep Rally was
another idea. He also said ‘Comedy
Nights’? and ‘“‘Gamble Fling” deserved
another chance, even though they were
poorly attended this year.

Tuttle also said that in advertising for
events, SA needs the extra effort of per-
sonal contact — going door-to-door or
speaking to students. Yet he lacked a plan

to recruit the people for this.

One of Tuttle’s ideas to get students in-
volved in SA was very good. After elec-
tions, Tuttle would get a list of all the can-
didates not elected. His work on recruiting
people to the Student Voice, for which he
served as Editor-in-Chief, shows he is
capable of recruiting people. He did not
have any new ideas, though.

The vice president is in charge of all hir-
ing by SA and must enforce SA’s Affir-
mative Action policy. Tuttle can readily
provide a dictionary definition of the

tein could prove a valuable asset to SA as a whole, o

Tihan Presbie

Tihan Presbie claims he is running for
SA Vice President in 1986 for many of the
same reasons he ran for the position in
1985. He also claims that his current
qualifications are boosted by the ex-
perience he has gained over the past year
working with SA. However, the endorse-
ment board found Presbie to have been
minimally involved in SA this year, and
any acquired experience was not evident
throughout much of the interview.

Presbie did present a few refreshing
ideas to the board, such as changing the
name of the tax sticker on the back of stu-
dent ID’s to the SA membership sticker.
This would make it clearer that the man-
datory student activity fee goes to SA,
Presbie said, and that students, as
members of SA, are entitled to certain ser-
vices from the organization.

Presbie had other good ideas, including
a pro wrestling card at the University Gym
to help school spirit, and a bigger push by
SA to get a larger voter out for SA
elections.

Presbie also suggested an Albany Today
bulletin board, which would be an up-to-
date listing of activities planned by groups
associated with SA, as well as community
events in the City of Albany. Although this
would seem to benefit students, it also ap-
pears to be overly ambitious, if one is to be
placed on every quad and changed daily.
One centrally located board, placed out-
side the SA office, seems much more
realistic.

This lack of feasibility, along with poor-
ly thought out plans, seemed to plague
most of Presbie’s ideas. An example is
Presbie’s proposed ‘‘SA Explorer,” a
detailed packet including information on
all SA groups, plus a how-to section, ex-
plaining how to start or join a club, how to
be a radio disc jockey — how to do just
about anything on campus. He naively
claimed the funding for the project is “in
the budget,” in the form of dollars not be-
ing used by campus groups.

Presbie’s plan to force clubs that don’t
make their income lines to have that
amount taken away from them in next

year’s budget neglects the fact that many
clubs have high turnovers due to
graduating students. Therefore, different
people will be paying for their predecessors
mistakes. This might also make SA less
responsible about SA to closely following
group spending.

Presbie expressed a desire to have in-
creased police protection, but did not sug-
gest a feasible method to secure this. He
Proposed that students and faculty act as
volunteer uniformed security guards in
carts on the podium. A plan to train such
personnel, and provide for their safety was
not presented.

Presbie stressed the need for low-risk
events in programming, yet did not
demonstrate an adequate measure for
predicting an event’s success. He didn’t
consider the $3,000 SA lost on Gamble Fi-
ing, which he worked on, to be a signifi-
cant loss. He said the event should be tried

Presbie said that one of the greatest pro-
blems coming out of the current program-
ming and media offices is poorly conceived

Awarding evening

To the editor:

1 am writing this letter as a thank you to the School of
Education. Six months ago almost three thousand
graduating seniors here at Albany were asked to nominate
a high school teacher ‘“‘who stands out as one who played
a significant role in helping you to develop both intellec-
tually and personally.”’ The nomination entailed filling
out a form and writing a short essay stating reasons for
nomination. Twenty four high school teachers from all
over the state were honored with ‘Outstanding Teacher
Awards” as a result of these nominations.

On Monday, March 31, an awards reception and din-
ner were held at the Convention Center at the Empire
State Plaze. Everything was perfect from the speeches, to
the food, to the music.

Julie Berman and I both nominated our high school
English teacher Mrs. Rhonda Molk (a.k.a. Rhonda
Molk). Mrs. Molk played a major role in both of our lives
as a teacher and a friend and we wanted to show our ap-
preciation for all her years of help. We never expected
Monday night to be as truly special as it turned out to be.

The school of education and all others responsible for
the success of Monday night should be congratulated for
a job “‘very’’ well done.

Alarming behavior

To the editor:

In the past year there has been a growing problem on
State Quad. It deals with the inconsideration and lack of
maturity of certain individuals, who feel compelled to,
pull the fire alarms in the Eastman Tower. These studenta
do not take into consideration the possible problems and|
dangers it may inflict on those students who take up|
residency there. For those people who find it humorous to}
watch several hundred students pile out of the tower at all}
hours of the night, I ask of you to please think twice}
before acting.

The possibility of someone falling down the stairs is a
very real one. Especially when being awakened by an
alarm, such as the one in the tower. Many people are
awakened from a sound sleep, and when the alarm sets
off, most make their way down the stairs in a state of con-
fusion. Add to that the possibility that some students may
have gone out earlier that evening; would you want your
friends walking down the stairs like this?

As aresult of so many fire alarms, many residents have
decided to stay in their rooms, assuming that the alarm is
just another false one. If by any chance an alarm should
go off for a fire, these students are in great danger.

And for those individuals who must use their popcorn
poppers under the heat sensors or smoke under the smoke
detectors, please use your common sense. You cause the
same problems as those who pull the alarm. Though not
done intentionally, common sense should be used.

The point that I’m trying to make is that although it
may seem humorous or it may just begin as a practical
joke, you must take into account that you are endanger-
ing the lives of many students and friends.

Sabghir remembered

To the editor:

Human resources, trust, and confidence: terms that
were brought to life by Management Professor Irving
Sabghir. He did not lecture in class; he taught, and if you
were there to learn, you did.

Last month marked a time of great loss, with the pass-
ing of Dr. Sabghir. Though he is no longer with us in
body, his thoughts, ideals and strong impressions remain
a part of myself and many others who came to know the
man. Dr. Sabghir was the type of person to give you that
“‘pat on the back’’ when you needed it most. He had the
unique ability to turn his office hours from an ‘‘exam
grade debate’ to a learning session, in which you could
understand and improve. Dr. Sabghir was strong, he had
definite views and opinions which he stood behind. But, I
guess what I respected him most for was his firm belief in
the ability of people and the importance of self
development.

I’m glad that I got to know Irv Sabghir, and I’m glad
that I used our friendship as an opportunity to share my
thoughts of him, with him. Irving Sabghir is gone and will
be missed, but more importantly his contributions are a
part of many . . . a part of life.

Deceiving jeans

To the editor:

This is not a letter about gay rights. I understand, and
recognize, the right of members of GALA to choose their
lifestyle, as well as express their views to others. What this
letter does concern, however, is GALA’s method of
determining campus support for their organization and
lifestyle, through ‘‘it’s great to be gay blue jean day.’’ I
am sure that members of GALA are cognizant of the fact
that on any given day a majority of the students on cam-
pus will be wearing blue jeans. Therefore, a blue jeans
day is not an accurate measurement for GALA’s purpose.
If GALA really wants to determine their level of support,
then why not have a day where supporters will wear a
pink carnation or a ribbon? Perhaps members of GALA
and the gay community would argue that this would in-
convenience supporters. I contend that if GALA can af-
ford full page ads in the ASP then they can afford to give
out free ribbons to the hoards of people, who I am sure,
will want one. Therefore, I issue a challenge to you,
members and supporters of GALA; stand up and be
counted. Perhaps you do enjoy tremendous support on
this campus—but is it not your fear that we will all find
out what a truly obnoxious little minority you are?

— Michael P. Delaney

USSA speaks

To the editor:

This past March 14-17, I, along with over 430 students
from California to Maine attended the United States Stu-
dent Association (USSA) Annual Legilative Conference
in Washington D.C. This year marks the 40th anniversary
of USSA.

The conference consisted of panel discussions,
speakers, and workshops which spanned such topics as
the federal budget, threats to academic freedom, and the
mounting incidence of rapes on campuses across the
nation.

The main event of the conference was Lobby Day,
where students had the oportunity to discuss their con-
cerns with members of Congress. The two issues which
were targeted were the proposed drastic cuts in the educa-
tion budget for the coming federal fiscal year and the
Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1985.

If the proposed budget is passed, education might be
facing more than a fifty percent cut. Over 800,000
students will lose some or all of their Pell awards this fall
alone. The proposed budget includes shifting and increas-

ing the number of student loans given and decreasing the
number of grants. Federal spending for education is
already less than two percent of the Budget, while defense
is nearly 30 percent.

The Civil Rights Restoration will restore civil protec-
tion for women, minority, and disabled students on cam-
pus which were curtailed by a 1984 Supreme Court deci-
sion. Now, student civil rights are only protected if
discrimination occurs in a campus department or subdivi-
sion receiving federal funds. Previously, the entire cam-
pus was required to adhere to civil rights statutes if any
segment of the campus recieved federal funds. As a
result, there have been cases where women across the
country have been legally thrown out of campus dor-
mitories which did not receive federal funding because the
women had abortions!

I was fortunate enough in that our Student Association
funded my attendance at the conference, although that
was after a lot of red tape. Next year, it is imperative that
the USSA delegates are encouraged by our Student
Association Executives to attend the USSA annual
Legislative Conference in Washington D.C., as part of
the USSA delegates’ responsibilities are to represent and
voice the concerns of SUNYA students to Congress
members. Our campus is one of the biggest contributers
to USSA, yet many smaller schools across the nation flew
in groups of students for a chance to have their schools
represented within the chambers of Congress. Many
schools bussed in additional students just for the Lobby
Day after the conference weekend.

Student concerns were heard clearly on Capital Hill this
spring. I met with staff members of the Albany Represen-
tatives and New York Senators, as well as many other
Congress members, to let them know that the voices of
the students at SUNYA and accross the nation will not be
silent. What students can do is call and write to your local
elected Representative and Senators. The increase in cam-
pus activism of the past two years has already been felt on
our campuses and state capitals. It is imperative that we
join together and act now to help ensure continued ac-
cessibility, equity, and opportunity in postsecondary
education.

USSA Delegate

Spring dance

To the edito:

The Feminist Alliance would like to invite all the
women of SUNYA and the Albany community to join us
at the Women’s Spring Dance. The dance will be held on
Saturday, April 12 at 332 Hudson Avenue (The Gay and
Lesbian Community Center) from 9:30 p.m. - 1:30 a.m.
Tickets are $4 at the door. A D.J. and refreshments will
be present.

Given the recent controversies concerning feminism
and lesbianism on this campus, we believe this to be the
perfect opportunity for all women, straight and lesbian,
to join together for an evening of fun. Women-only
dances have proven to be an excellent forum for women
to communicate with each other, minus interruptions. We
hope that you will attend our dance and contribute to its
success.

And for women in Introduction to Feminism, here is a
great subject for a short project, not to mention what
might be you only opportunity to see how well your
facilitators dance! See you there.

Personal decision

To the editor:

I attended the Pro-Life Forum by WEBA on Wednes-
day night and thought that it was a gross infringement on
woman’s rights. When faced with the dilemma of an un-
wanted pregnancy, different women take different things
into consideration when makeing that difficult decision.
It is understandable that people with strong religious
beliefs would not want to terminate their pregnancy.
And, it is sad and true that there is little social help for
women who do decide to have an unwanted child. It’s
very admirable that WEBA members are willing to per-
sonally help, emotionally and financially, women in that
situation. However, they do not seem to realize that by
turning to WEBA, a woman is making a choice. There are
other women who do not have strong religious feelings
and who feel that a pregnancy carried to term would be a,
more traumatic experience than an abortion. There is no
right answer. Each and every decision to have or not to
have an abortion is a personal choice. It’s a basic human
freedom.

There is nothing wrong with members of WEBA’s per-
sonal views, but by attempting to illegalize abortion they
are attempting to oppress women’s freedom. I hope
students who are considering working with them to help
illegalize abortion take this into consideration.

MBA buys lower-income grads more

Columbia, MO
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Middle- and lower-income
students can improve their earn-
ing power dramatically by filing
away their business bachelor’s
degrees and going on for master’s
degrees in business administration
(MBA), a new study has found.

But the highly touted MBA
doesn’t help upper-middle and
upper-income students earn much
more than they could without an
MBA, the study also concludes.

The study of 346 graduates of
the universities of Missouri, Kan-
sas and Oklahoma also
discovered that women from the
middle, lower-middle and lower
classes earned as much as their
male counterparts four to five
years out of school — half the
sample had BAs and half had
MBAs.

“We think it’s very gratifying
finding equality (between the
sexes) for the lower group,”’ said
Tom Dougherty, the University
of Missouri at Columbia manage-
ment associate professor who
directed the study.

Within four to five years of ear-
ning their MBAs, graduates from
the lower classes were making
about $11,000 more a year than
economically similar students
who earned just business
bachelor’s degrees.

MBAs, however, didn’t help
improve the earning power of

students from the upper
economic classes.
“Students from the upper

group already have the skills and
contacts necessary for success,””
Dougherty said, ‘‘whereas the

MBA may provide the extra
socialization that thos¢ from the
lower group need” to earn more
money.

And while ‘‘lower class” men
and women out of school for four
years were making the same
amount of money, females from
the upper strata were earning less
than males from the upper strata.

Dougherty said he thinks it’s
because wealthy females may not
have the same access to family
businesses as do upper-strata
males, a factor he found to con-
tribute greatly to earning power.

Dougherty said he also
speculates affluent women pro-
bably don’t have the same finan-
cial motives as females from the
lower classes.

“Rich women can afford to
take interesting jobs such as

To help students become
more aware of opportunities,
SUNYA’s Marketing Depart-
ment held it’s first annual
“Marketing Career Day’’ on
Tuesday.

About 175 students attended
the day’s events, said Professor
William Danko, who con-
ducted one of the workshops.

Among the planned activities
were a luncheon in the Patroon
Room, which was attended by
about 50 people, various
workshops on marketing, and
an end-of-day reception, said
Danko. Professor W. Christian
Buss, chair of the marketing

working in a museum,” said
William Hokanson, director of
communications for Harvard’s
business school.

There also may be a limited
number of well-paying jobs,
which often are grabbed by males
from affluent backgrounds, said
Charles Hickman of the
American Assembly of Collegiate
Schools of Business.

Additionally, affluent females
have the option to leave the work
force to rear children more readi-
ly than women of lessor means,
Hickman said.

Dougherty’s study deals with
grads of three schools not na-

tionally recognized as
heavyweights in business
education.

At least one observer said he

Marketing opportunities explored

department, organized the
event.

“The day was definitely a
success,” said Danko. “Our
purpose was to create more
awareness of marketing oppor-
tunities. Marketing goes

beyond selling.”

Danko said the event was
also held to inform those unaf-
filiated with the Business
School about opportunities in
the marketing field.

Marketing is more than a job
or a career said Danko, but a
part of your lifestyle.

Ken Dornbaum

thinks an MBA from a ‘‘creden-
tial’? school will accelerate the
earning power of any student,
regardless of his or her economic
background.

“T think that someone with an
MBA (from Harvard) will clearly |
have an advantage over a BA
regardless of class,” said John
Aisner, assistant director of com-

munications at Harvard’s
business school.
Moreover, ‘‘where you go to

grad school is becoming more im-
portant,’’ he said.

At the same time, students’
grades don’t seem to have
anything to do with how much
they earn after graduation.
Dougherty found no relationship
between academic performance
and professional success. oO

Dear Campus Citizen:

In December, 1985 the ‘‘University Policy Governing Use of
Alcohol’? was adjusted, after a committee composed of
students, faculty and professionals discussed and recommended
several changes. Having received the approval of campus
governance, the University Council and the President, the revis-
ed alcohol policy took effect four months ago.

The Statement of Policy which follows is in compliance
with city and state regulations. It is presented in the ASP as
one method to educate the campus communtiy.

Two significant aspects of the policy are drawn to your
attention: :

1. ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE PROHIBITED IN
THE OUT-OF-DOORS, ON THE PODIUM. PLEASE
DO NOT DRINK WHILE ‘“‘PODIATING”.

2. NO BULK CONTAINERS (E.G., KEGS AND BEER
BALLS) ARE PERMITTED IN INDIVIDUAL ROOMS
AND/OR SUITES.

For a complete copy of the University Policies Governing
the Use of Alcohol please consult with James Doellefeld, Direc-
tor of Campus Life, CC 130; John Martone, Assistant Vice
President for Residential Life and Housing, Eastman Lounge,
State Quad; or Alice Corbin, Director of Judicial Services, AD
129.

We seek your cooperation and compliance. Have a great

Ve

Vice President for Student Affairs

(AP) Anti-apartheid protests marking
the 10th anniversary of the assassination
of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. drew
generally small crowds Friday as student
demonstrators held teach-ins, rallied,
and built shantytowns.

Protest organizers, led by the New
York based American committee on
Africa, had billed Friday as ‘National
Divestment Protest Day’’ to urge col-
leges and universities to divest holdings
in companies dealing with South Africa.

Demonstrations were held at John’s
Hopkins University, Penn State,
University of Florida, University of
Rochester, Cornell, Wellesley and other
campuses. Most drew fewer than 100
participants.

“Obviously at different places the
level of participation varies greatly. But
we're definitely satisfied with the way
things are going,” said Josh Nessen, a
spokesman for the American Commit-
tee on Africa.

According to Student Association of
State University (SASU) communica-
tions Director Adine Schuman, there
was “‘no big coordinated campaign”’ for
SUNY schools, although SUNY Pur-
chase conducted ‘‘successful coffee
house,” for the discussion of apartheid
issues.

Fewer than 40 people participated ina
quiet teach-in at Columbia University,
in contrast to that campus’s massive
demonstrations last spring.

At the University of Rochester,
students planned to put up 10 shantys to
demonstrate their opposition to
apartheid.

About 30 students held a rally at Cor-

Divestment day marked by
protests, small crowds

nell University to protest the school’s in-
vestments in companies with ties to
South Africa, said school spokesman
David Stewart.

At Wellesley College, about 40
students who dressed in black and
Painted their faces white with black
tears to look like “‘living corpses” par-
tially blocked entrances to the campus
library where the Board of Trustees was
holding a meeting.

“We wanted them to work their way
through all the dead bodies,” said
sophomore Helene Alpert, a
spokeswoman for the Ad Hoc Commit-
tee for Divestment Now. ‘These repre-
sent the bodies of dead South
Africans.”

“It’s very effective,” said Wellesley
spokeswoman Ann O'Sullivan.
Wellesley has divested about $3 million,
but still has $36 million in South African
related stock, she said. Divestment was
not on the board’s agenda, but
O'Sullivan said she believed the trustees
would discuss it because of the protests.

Wellesley students protesting apar-
theid ended a 37 hour occupation of the
main campus administration building
early Friday.

At the University of California at
Berkeley, 91 protesters were arraigned
Friday in connection with violent
clashes with police during demonstra-
tions Thursday in which 29 people were
injured. Angry demonstrators called for
a student strike Monday and vowed to
rebuild a shantytown on campus.

“Violence was about as bad as
anything that happened in the ”60s,”’
chancellor Ira Michael Heyman said of
Thursday’s protests.

Religion regaining popularity
on campus, chaplains report

Tucson, Arizona
(AP) Religion is making a strong com-
eback on the University of Arizona cam-
pus. Increasing numbers of UA students
are becoming interested in religious ser-
vices, according to directors and ministers
of several religious organizations that
serve the campus.

“Students are finding that it’s still OK
to practice your religion and be cool,’’ said
Terry Seidemen, director of the: Hillel
Foundation.

And the religious activity is vastly dif-
ferent from that of the 1960s and
mid-1970s.

“Now it is a much more personal
religion Students are looking for
spiritual enrichment; call it a spiritual
nautilus,’’ said the Rev. Thomas DeMann,
director of the Newman Catholic Student
Center.

“In the "60s it was ‘prove to me that
religion has a value.” In the ’80s it’s ‘give
me a good sermon,’ ” he said. “They are
saying, ‘If there is something there that
really nourishes me I’m satisfied,’ ”” he
said.
The Rev. Herb Schmidt, director of the
Lutheran Campus Ministry, added: “The
1960s were spiritually bankrupt. Very few
students wanted to be involved in spiritual
study and prayer groups. They were more
concerned with the issue of social justice.””

But, now there is a national Lutheran
student movement, and last year Schmidt
held confirmation classes for the first time
since he has been directing campus
ministries.

“You haven’t seen that since the
1950s,’’ he said. ‘“More students are will-
ing to be identified with a particular
denomination, and that’s contrary to the
*60s and *70s.””

While there has been only a moderate
rise in the number of students attending
religious services, there has been a marked

increase in students taking religious studies
classes offered by the UA.

“There is an increase in popularity of
religious studies courses here and at other
state universities around the country,”
said the Rev. Robert A. Burns, chairman
of the UA Religious Studies program.

In just five years, the number of
students signing up for courses in religion
has increased from 250 to 450, he said. The
program started thirteen years ago with 25 -
students.

Between 100 and 150 students had to be
turned away from an introductory course
on western religions and the class later had
to be moved to another room because
there were not enough chairs for the 140
students enrolled, he said.

The UA has 27 faculty members involv-
ed in teaching the 47 religious studies
courses offered.

On any given day, there are students lin-
ed up in the hallway outside Burns’ office,
waiting to talk with him about a particular
point or concept that had been raised in
class.

“The class is making me look back on
my faith, and that I’ve never done that
before,’’ said Janet D. Ruma, a junior in
the College of Arts and Sciences.

Other students say they are interested in
finding out about other religions.

“ve found out that there are a lot more
similarities between Protestants and
Catholics that I thought. It makes you
grow a lot more in your own faith,”’ said
Brian C. Harpst, a junior majoring in
finance.

“Students want to know a little about
themselves ... they’re looking for stability
in their lives,” Burns said. He added that
many students take the courses so they can
learn more about their own faith.

DeMann agreed, ‘‘There is a very strong
momentum, to find answers in religion to
acomplex world.’’ |

after that it’s up to you.”

Johnson, also a Human Resources In-
formation Specialist at Key Corp., said
the MBA is used as a criterion in the ap-
plication process. “Those with the
degree are assumed to have more in-
itiative,”’ said Johnson.

Whether a company actually recruits
MBA’s varies from branch to branch,
depending on location. George Ruder-
man, Consultant in Executive Programs
for General Electric Company, said ‘In
G.E. there is no common response’ to
the value of the MBA degree. “In some
G.E.’s MBA’s are their lifeblood while
in other companies there is not interest
in them.”’ Ruderman is responsible for
coordinating recruiting from General
Electric’s corporate headquarters in
Fairfield, Conn.

There is some distinct advantage to
the degree, according to Ruderman,
depending on the area pursued. ‘In
G.E.’s Credit Corp., such as investment
banking, the MBA is important, ‘“‘but
more important is the work experience
in combination with the MBA,”’ said
Ruderman.

General Electric, according to Ruder-
man, is looking for those people with
MBA’s who can immediately assume
responsibility -- not those who need en-
try level training programs. Perspective
employees also need to have long-range
potential for key executive positions.

sidered for the same positions as MBA’s
said Ruderman. “Internal training pro-
grams” are offered for those with a
bachelor’s in business, he said.

Results of a Harris Poll, published in
the March 24 issue of Business Week,
showed a consensus that business
schools teach students a lot about
Management theory but little about
what it takes to run a company. About
86 percent of the 600 senior executives
drawn from the Business Week cor-
porate scoreboard surveyed agreed that
this is true.

“Tt is the job of the business school to
teach the theory,’’ said Hester. ‘‘It is the
job of the business to set in motion in-
house training and career programs that
will enable the MBA to get hands-on ex-
perience needed to run a corporation.
It is ridiculous to hope a two-year col-
lege program will enable someone to run
a company,” he said.

Many graduate business schools do
offer practical experience in addition to
theory which can mean the difference in
employment opportunities. SUNYA’s
MBA program “‘blends the practical
side as well as the academic side,” ac-
cording to Shawky. “‘We are not a
theoretical MBA program. We give
students a fair amount of real life pro-
jects, expose them to practical business
problems, and train them on how to
conduct themselves in a very profes-
sional manner,’’ said Shawky, referring
to the field study project.

would be equal to a GPA of 4.33, but

Corallo said that she ‘‘sees an A as

Mike Miller, chair of Central Council’s

Miller called the plus-minus proposal’s

Miller’s claim of victory stems from the
fact that the current proposal is the result

Although Miller said that there are

America’s game could wind down in Canada

By Andv Taraovnik

Last season, Baseball Commis-
sioner Peter Uebberroth declared
it the ‘‘Year of the Records’’ to
overshadow the Pandora’s box of
drug use opened up by the Pitt-
sburgh drug trials. This year,
baseball fans and Uebberroth’s

office alike will ‘

be closely Friday
monitoring

drug use to see Sports

if the commis- Colymn
sioner’s stiff

penalties will clean the game up.
In the mean-time, there will be a
lot of good baseball, and this
season should reaffirm baseball
as America’s national pasttime, in
spite of the black cloud hanging
over the sport. Here are one fan’s
predictions on how the Boys of
Summer will fare:

NL East:

The Montreal Expos have the
pitching and offensive punch to
win this division. A big question
is whether Charlie Leon and Joe
Hesketh can contribute after
returning from injuries that kept
them out last season. If they do,
Jeff Reardon could have an MVP
season.

Dwight Goodon will win about
25 games for the New York Mets
and Ron Darling may add
another 20 but the Mets lack a
bullpen and a strong offense.

If the Chicago Cubs pitching
staff can overcome their injuries
in 1985 they will be a force to be
reckoned with.

The St. Louis Cardinals will
self-destruct like they did in the
1985 World Series and will be in
for a very long season.

The Philadelphia Phillies con-
sider Shane Rawley their ace.
That explains it all.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are the
worst team in the major
leagues—it’s as simple as that.

NL West:

Even though Pedro Guerrero is
injured, the Los Angeles Dodgers
will coast. When you’ve got a
team ERA of 2.96 and you have
Tom Niedenfuer in the bullpen
that means division title.

The Cincinati Reds may
challenge the Dodgers but only if
newly acquired pitchers John
Denny and Bill Gullickson have
big years.

The San Diego Padres are too
old in too many places to be con-
sidered contenders (Steve Garvey,
Craig Nettles, Rich Gossage).

The San Fransisco Giants can
be the most improved team in the
majors if Roger Craig is able to
get the Giant young staff to pitch
well.

The Houston Astros have Mike
Scott but the rest of their staff is
suspect.

The Atlanta Braves lack 5 star-
ting. pitchers. Otherwise they are
fine.

AL EAST

The Toronto Blue Jays don’t
get the respect they deserve. The
Jays won 98 games last season
with Dave Stiev winning 14. Look
for stieb to win around 20 and for
Tom Henke to save about 40
games.

If the Detroit Tigers pitchers
stay healthy and Willie Her-
nandez returns to his MVP form,
this club can challenge the Blue
Jays. A big if.

The New York Yankees pen-
nant hopes went down the drain
when they lost Britt Burns for the
season. Don Mattingly can only
win so many games with late inn-
ing heroics.

The Boston Red Sox have the
hitting but still lack the pitching
to contend.

The Baltimore Orioles are get-
ting old and may have to recon-
sider the futures of Mike
Flanagan, Scott McGregor, and
Tippy Martinez.

The Cleveland Indians desire to
get out of the cellar may be the
deciding factor that will sneak
them past Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee Brewers con-
sider Rick Cerone their key ac-
quisition. Enough said.

AL West:

The Minnesota Twins will be
the big surprise in the American
League. They have acquired Bert
Blyleven and have a good young
pitching staff. The Twins have the
offensive punch and will put it
altogether in 1986.

The Kansas City Royals got
good pitching in the playoffs and
World Series but one must
if Bud Black, Mark Gubicza, and
Danny Jackson can Pitch well
consistently.

The Oakland A’s have helped
their pitching needs by acquiring

Jouagin Andujar but are still a
starter or 2 away.

The Seatle Mariners are young
but need a lot of improvement
out of their starters namely Jim
Benthe and Matt Young.

The California Angels are ag-

ing and will fight to reach .500,
The Chicago White Sox lack

Union’s four hits enough to defeat Danes, 7-1

By Paul Lander

‘STAFF WRITER

Union College powered its way
to a 7-1 win over the Albany State
baseball team Tuesday in a game
held at Bleecker Stadium in
Albany.

To gain the victory, Union only
used four hits, three of which
were home runs.

for Petterson on the day. He also
had two singles and a double.

The loss can be attributed to to
something the Danes had avoided
earlier in the season - the inability
to drive in men on base.

“The loss was the result of
poor play,”’ said Dane head coach
Ed Zaloom.

‘We left_men on base and

“It was just a bad day.
What’s good about a loss is
that you can learn from what
you did wrong.’’

— Ed Zaloom

The batter who gave Dane pit-
chers the most trouble was a 6’1”’,
220 pound sophomore named
Ron Jakubcezyk. The designated
hitter belted two round-trippers, a
solo in the fourth inning, and a
three run shot in the sixth.

Union third baseman Andy
Markopoulos also added a
leadoff solo homer in the seventh
to increase the lead to 6-1.

The Danes lone run came on a
leadoff homerun in first by
sophomore Bob Petterson. The
homer was the first of four hits

needed. We also hit into some
double-plays that really hurt,’
said Zaloom.

The Danes only totaled six hits,
four of which came off the bat of
Petterson. They also committed

‘two errors, one that led to an

unearned run.

“Tt was just a bad day. What’s
good about a loss is that you can
learn from what you did wrong,”
said Zaloom.

“T think we were a better team
than Union. We just didn’t play

well,’’ he added.

Al Pedley, who relieved starter
Bob Martilla in the second, took
the loss for the Danes, who now
stand at 5-2. The Danes were
scheduled to. travel to Bingham-
ton. yesterday for a twin-bill,
however, a snow storm prevented

that confrontation.

Fred Saccocio was named the
offensive most. valuable player
and Chris Fletcher the defensive
MVP for the opening week of the
season. Also, freshman Tom
Bravata was given the “‘hustler’’
award for week one.

In five games, Saccocio was
five for 17 at the plate for a .299
batting average. The Schalmont
native drove in seven runs, had
three stolen bases, and scored two
runs. According to coach
Zaloom, the real key was the
seven RBI's.

For the first week, the Danes
finished 5-1. Three of the wins go
on the record of Fletcher. In 22
innings pitched, the senior allow-
ed only 14 hits and five earned
runs, for a 2.20 ERA. He also
collected 14 strikeouts and posted
two complete games.

In three starts behind the plate,
Bravata provided a solid .375 bat-
ting average. He also contributed
two stolen bases and one RBI.
However, it was his off-the-field
actions which helped the Danes
get off to their early season
success.

“His attitude has been so
good,” said Zaloom. ‘‘You need
to have a good team attitude, and
he has one.””

The Danes travel to Cortland
tomorrow to play a double-
header against the Red Dragons.
On Monday they will entertain
New Paltz for two games here at
University Field. Both days’ ac-
tivities start at 1:00 p.m. sia}

Albany State trackmen’s record run down to 1-3

By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER

The Albany State men’s track team ran against SUNY
rival Cortland State on Tuesday falling short by a score of
110-64. The defeat lowers the Danes’ record to 1-3.

Though Albany defeated Cortland at the indoor con-
ference championships this winter the Danes knew this
would be a tough meet. Albany had a few key members
injured and did not have the depth Cortland had, par-
ticularly in the sprints and throws.

However, there were many outstanding performances
by the Danes. Especially those of Co- ‘‘Athletes of the
Meet,”’ pole vaulters Pat Dowling and Kurt Weidman.

They both cleared 14 feet, which represented personal
bests. Dowling was declared the winner based on his
fewer number of missed attempts. Weidman finished se-
cond in the competition.

This represents an outstanding breakthrough for both
vaulters as Weidman’s previous best was 13’ 1/4’” and
Dowlings 13’. Head Coach Roberto Vives commented,
“It’s very encouraging to see them vault like this. We’re
going to need them to score highly at the bigger meets.”

Indoor high jump national champion David Walker
won his specialty at 6’8’’. Walker also placed third in the
triple j..ap with his leap of 41°9’’.

A jumper that has been improving of late has been Bob
Balachoandron. He placed second in the long and triple
jumps with 19’7” and 41°10” distances respectively.

Weightman Jay Korsen added another field event vic-
tory as he finished first in the hammer throw with a heave
of 107°9”’.

The two most exciting races of the day were the 1500
meters and 800 meters run.

Tri-captain David Blette finished first in the 1500
despite running fourth most of the race.

Blette carefully planned the race and surged ahead to
the three Cortland leaders with a quarter to go. He then
passed the Cortland runners at the 200 mark and held
them off to win by three seconds at 4:07.

Vernon Miller won the 800 running 1:57.2. After a
brisk 26 second 200 meters Miller led at the quarter with a

ever for the Danes, stepped in and played outstanding
tennis in the Albany tradition. He earned a victory in
singles play by a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 score and teamed with
junior David Zobler to defeat RPI in the number three
doubles game 1-6, 6-1, 7-6. Coach Lewis commented, ‘‘I
was very happy with his play and I beleive he’ll be a good
up and coming man for the team in the future.’’ In both
of Singers games he lost the first set, but ultimately won
in impressive come from behind wins.

“We hoped to get back on the winning track against
RPI and it was an important win for our morale.
Everyone did what he had to do,” said Grossman, who
won his singles game 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 and teamed with

56 second split. Then he, Cortland’s Reilly, and Albany’s
Dan Jocelyn alternated taking the lead while facing a stiff
head wind. Miller was able to regain the lead with 100
meters to go and held on to win. Jocelyn finished third at
1:58.2 for a successful return from a week’s injury.

Miller was pleased with the race as a whole. “I’m hap-
py with the time considering the wind,”’ Miller said.
Coach Vives told me before the race to tuck behind the
Cortland runners and let them hit the wind. But I was
worried they would take the out pace to slow. Luckily, it
wasn’t and I was able to win.”

Later in the day Miller added to his successful perfor-
mance by running a 49.4 400 meter split in the mile relay.

Senior John Reilly also retruned to fine form after
finishing first in the 200m and second in the 100m. He ran
impressive times of 22.2 and 10.9.

Senior Bruce Van: Tassel continued his consistent
season by placing second in both the intermediate
hurdles, 57,1, and high hurdles, 15.4. Van Tassel has con-
tinually been running in four events per meet and the tri-
captain should be in excellent condition as the season
progresses.

In the the intermediate hurdles Cortland’s Jim Terwill-
inger broke the Albany track record by running 53.7.

Cortland’s Vincent O’Brien also broke a facility record
by running 32:40 in the 10,000 meter run.

Albany senior Chuck Bronner finished next in the
10,000 meters running 33:01.7. Despite a furious kick, the
time left Bronner, who is in the midst of an outstanding
spring, two seconds short of qualifying for States. Team-
mate Ian Clements followed in third at 33:13. é

Tri-captain Craig Parlato won the 5000m_ pacing
himself to a time of 15:48.9. Parlato ran a smooth race as
he ran away from the rest of the field at about the 1200
mark. Like Jocelyn and Reilly this was Parlato’s first race
back as he sat the previous two meets with a virus.

Junior Tim Hoff, in his first 5000m of the season
finished third at 15:58.

Coach Vives, despite the loss, remained optimistic of
his team’s chances against Cortland at the SUNYACs. He
remarked ‘‘you can’t take anything away from Cortland.

Schmitz to win the number one doubles game 6-3, 6-4.

In the four remaining singles matches Albany blew
away the competition. Schmitz scored a decisive victory
of 6-1, 6-3 as did Eisenberg by a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 score.
Zobler and Dermansky dominated their games by spiking
home wins of 8-7 and 8-3, respectively.

The only loss of the day came to the number two
doubles team of Eisenberg and Greenberg who lost a
squeaker by a 6-7, 6-3, 7-6 score. ‘The local RPI team
hasn’t defeated us in a long time, but coming into the
match I was concerned because we played on their indoor
courts which are faster and usually used for basketball.’’
said Coach Lewis, who concluded, ‘‘our guys played real-
ly well in an unusual atmosphere and under tough condi-

The men’s track team fell to Cortland.
They have a lot of good athletes and looked strong today.
However, I think we’ll match up well against them at a

tions,... I was very pleased.’’ a

The Danes, usually come on strong in the second ha:
of the season, and with everyone in good mid-season
shape a defeat of this Albany squad looks grim. They face
Hobart and Middlebury at home on Friday and Saturday.

“If we play well we could win both matches,’’ said
Lewis, ‘‘They will be competitive.as both schools tradi-
tionally boast good teams, but we haye the talent to beat
them if we play up to our potential.”

Team leader Eisenberg added confidently, “we should
get on some sort of roll now,... there’s no reason ‘we
should lose any more matches... we have a good team and
we just have to go out and get the job done.” Oo

Stickmen drop two, continue homefield woes

|

By Mike MacAdam
SPORTS EDITOR

The Chicago Bears have ‘‘The
Refrigerator,’’ William Perry. And as far
as household fixtures go, the Albany State

lacrosse team is ‘‘The Kitchen Sink Gang”’,

because they threw everything but one at
second ranked Cortland and Union this
week, and still came up on the short end of
the stick.

The Danes, 5-4 after yesterday’s 8-6 loss
to local rival Union, came back from a
four-goal deficit by scoring four
unanswered goals in a nine-minute span in
the second half against Cortland on
Tuesday. Freshman attacker Rich
Spadaro bounced a shot that just slipped
under the crossbar to tie the score, 10-10,
to start the fourth quarter, but Cortland
midfielder Tim DeLany put on a personal
scoring display by ripping off five straight
goals. The Red Dragons then coasted to a
19-11 final.

Against the Dutchmen, Albany shelled
the Union net with 39 shots, but could only
muster six goals. Spadaro, senior attacker
Dave Cerny, and mid-fielders Jason
Hurley and Jim Hennessy accounted for
27 shots between them, but only drew
blood five times. Hurley had the hat trick
for the Danes.

“There was a possibility that there was
some let-down from the Cortland loss,”’
said Albany State head coach Chuck
Priore. ‘We were prepared, we hustled for
the whole game, but it’s like I told them in
the locker room, we played just. good
enough to lose.’”

Cortland raised their record to 5-3 and
are second only to Division III power
house Hobart in the national rankings,
and Union’s win over Albany raised their
mark to 3-0.

“Union plays a pretty light schedule,”
said Priore. ‘“‘We’ve played nine games
between March 24 and April 10, and we
looked tired out there today. We looked
slow.””

Hurley’s first goal tied the score at 1-1
before the Dutchmen’s John Romeo gave
Union the lead, 2-1. Albany defenseman
Andre Dattero received a one minute
slashing penalty, and Union exploited the
extra man situation with a goal by Phil
Horn on an assist from Romeo.

Spadaro fed Hurley to cut the lead to
3-2, but Romeo beat Albany goal tender
Pete Betschart again for a two-goal lead.
The Danes didn’t tie the score until Hen-
nessy’s goal in the third quarter, and
everything was even, 5-5 in the fourth
quarter, when Albany’s Ron Heffernan
rifled a shot across the Union goal mouth.

The ball pounded the far post and came
back and hit the near post, which is a goal
under NCAA rules, but the officials made
no ruling and play resumed.

“The ball sure bounces funny,’’ said
Priore. ‘“‘Two pipes is a goal, because
technically the ball has to break the-plane
of the goal line to hit both pipes, but it’s a

Albany netmen trounce RPI after falling to Cornell

With two tough matches this week the Albany State
Men’s tennis team swung through the mid point in their
spring season with a split record of four wins against four
losses.

After dropping a tough match to Division I standout
Cornell University, the Danes bounced back on Wednes-
day afternoon with an impressive win over Division II
RPI, boosting their total fall and spring combined record
to 12 and 6.

With eight more matches yet to play the team’s outlook
to break the all time win record of 14 games for one
season of play looks positive. “‘It would be a nice thing to
break the record as a senior and to give the younger guys
something. to shoot for in. the. future,’’ commented co-
captain Jay Eisenberg.

The Danes had nothing to be ashamed of in their match
against the Ivy League contender on Tuesdasy afternoon.
And, although they have never defeated. Cornell, they
came far closer than they did in last years humiliating
loss. But Cornell has never faced as ferocious an Albany
Squad in the past. ‘This was the year we could have
beaten them,’’ said head coach Bob Lewis, who added,“‘I
was very disappointed over our loss, I think our team
missed a golden opportunity to win over a tough Ivy
League school.’”

In singles play Albany won two of their six games.
Those wiiis came to senior co-captain Tom Schmitz by a
set score of 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 and veteran standout Mike Der-
mansky 6-7, 6-4, 6-5, at fifth singles, who said, ‘“Cornell
‘was a bit stronger than us. We were well prepared and up:
for the match and against such a strong team I thought we
all played well,... I’m not disappointed.”

Albany dropped the remaining four singles games quite
convincingly. Numberoneplayer Dave Grossman who lost
his game, 6-0, 6-4, said, ‘“‘he had some tough competitive
matches, and although we held on in singles play, we
couldn’t clinch it in the doubles games.”” Jay Eisenberg

lost 6-3, 6-0, as did Dave Zobler adn Steve Greenberg
both by scores of 6-1, 6-2.

The competition was tough as Albany’s wins lasted the
full three sets while their losses all came in straight sets.

In doubles action the number two team of Eisenberg
and Dermansky lost by a 6-2, 6-1 score and the third team
of Greenberg and sophomore Bob Gibson fell by a 5-7
margin. The first doubles match was.called off due to the

During a cold and windy day, the Albany State
women’s softball team defeated New Paltz in the first
game of a doubleheader and tied the second. New Paltz
was the first SUNYAC conference game of the season.
Albany won the first game 2-1 in the eleventh inning.

seventh. Kathy Chichester hit an RBI that sent Wendy

cold weather and darkness setting in, but Cornell had
already clinched the match.

After an inspiring talk by Coach Lewis the team came
back on Wednesday to prove they hadn’t lost the heart
which had always made them winners by anhilating out-
talented RPI squad 8-1.

Williams home to tie the game. The game stayed neck
and neck until the bottom of the eleventh, when
Williams had an RBI to win the game. ‘‘We kept
defense strong in the extra innings. Offensively we were
weak, but we capitalized when the runners were in scor-
ing positions,”’ said captain Monique Romano.

New Paltz scored on an unearned run. “It was a
come from behind win for us. I’m not sure that I can
take too many more of those,”’ said coach Lee
Rhenish, adding, ‘‘It was a great pressure win for us.”

The second game was called due to darkness in the
seventh inning with a tie score of 5-5. The Danes were
ahead 5-1 until New Paltz caught up in the fifth inning.

Explaining the score, Chichester said, ‘“By the time
we got it together, it was too late; the game was over.””
“We can’t slack off at all-no matter what our lead is,”
she added. .

Romano hada total of three hits, consisting of one
double, one single, and one RBI. Shelia Littleton had
two hits, as did captain Carmen Guzman.

Should this tie lead to a tie in the SUNYACs, first
place is determined by head to head competition. If
that doesn’t determine a winner, head to head run dif-
ferentials are compared, and, lastly, the commissioner
flips a coin.

The next game is a doubleheader against SUNYAC
Division SUNY Binghamton at Binghamton Saturday.
