Second annual
APAC held at
SUNYA
By ASHISH PRABAKHAR
Editorial Assistant
Glass ceilings on promo-
tions and bias crimes against
Asian Pacific Americans, were
a few of the topics dealt with
by Vicki Shu, project coordi-
nator of The Organization of
Chinese Americans, during
the Asian Pacific American
Conference, held at SUNYA
last weekend.
The conference titled,
“empowerment through educa-
tion,” went from Friday night
to Sunday morning, and was
organized by the Asian
American’ Alliance at
SUNYA.
Shu in a seminar titled,
“Current American Asian
Issues,” emphasized anti-
immigrant laws and policies,
——“““"fated by Asian Pacific
Americans today.
The seminar contained a
large amount of statistics relat-
ed to immigrant issues.
According to Shu 1.5% of all
immigrants coming to the
United States are illegal and
Asians only make up 3% of
the U.S. population.
Shu discussed Asia Watch, a
world wide group network,
which she said, was a human
rights organization combating
jissues such as glass ceilings,
and anti—Asian violence.
Shu said, more than 80 % of
Americans think Asian immi-
grants threaten American cul-

SUNYA administrator plans departure
Vice President Livingston offered position at University of Cincinatti
BRIDGET BOSWORTH
Associate News Editor
After nearly seven years of service to
SUNYA, Vice President for Student Affairs
Mitchel D. Livingston, will be moving on to
a new university after this semester.
Livingston announced his resignation to
SUNYA President, H. Patrick Swygert last
Sunday, telling him he had accepted the
offer from the University of Cincinnati to be
Vice President for Student Affairs and
Services.
Livingston said the president told him he
would be missed but the move was a great
opportunity for him.
“Tn order to pursue my dream and my goal
of being university president I have to take
on the next set of experiences that will take
me in that direction,” Livingston said.
“After seven years it’s about time. I’ve
had offers to go other places, the issue was
to find a campus and environment that met
the needs of me and my family,” Livingston
said.
Before coming to SUNYA, Livingston
was the Dean of Students at Ohio State
University and a member of faculty in the
school of education.
“What attracted me to Albany is it is a
first rate University with absolutely wonder-
ful students who are bright, engaged, and
don’t simply take no for an answer. And I
also chose it because it is a very diverse uni-
versity and in many respects reflects what
the future will be; a very diverse, multi-cul-
tural society,” Livingston said.

Livingston said there were a number of
things established during his vice presidency
he is proud of. “One of the things I have the
greatest amount of pride in is the
University’s coalition for a Just
Community,” Livingston said. “It helps give
the university some very specific language
about what its commitments are to social
justice for all students.”
Livingston is also a part of the academic
faculty teaching courses and workshops on
leadership and plans to continue teaching
such courses at Cincinnati. “It is one of the
ultimate ways a university can say they real-
ly care about student leadership. We have
excellent examples of leaders who are excel-
lent and we have examples of students who
need to go to school for leadership.”
SUNYA’s diversity is one of his points
of pride, Livingston said. “What concerns
me is that sometimes people interpret the
conflict that naturally comes with diversity
as bad. It provides the tension necessary to
make change toward social justice,” he said.
Livingston said there will likely be an
interim vice president for Student Affairs
appointed while SUNYA conducts a nation-
al search for a new vice president. He said it
may take the search committee up to a year
to go through the procedure of narrowing
down the field and conducting the inter-
views.
He said a search committee has not yet
been formed.
Livingston said he and his wife, Carol
Livingston, director of Alumni Affairs at
SUNYA, are currently looking for housing
in Cincinnati and a good public school dis-
trict for his twin 9-year—old boys, Jeremy
and Joshua.
Indian Quad to be first stop for most frosh

Staff Writer
The Department of Residential
Life has decided to turn Indian
Quad into an all freshman quad.
Geneva Walker—Johnson,
assistant vice president of the
Department, said Indian Quad

A large segment of SUNYA’s Greek community turned out
to watch the skit competition for “Greek Week.” Greek Week
opening ceremonies were Saturday at 12 p.m. As part of Greek

nately freshman quad for the past
two or three years. “We are just
formalizing it,” she said.
According to Karima Wilkins,
central council chair for the
Student Association, 890 stu-
dents out of 1027 are freshmen
students.
Walker—Johnson said fresh-
men have different issues to deal
with than other students do.
Issues of autonomy and identity
become problems for first year
students that other students have
already conquered.
Special programming will be
offered which will deal with
these issues, which includes
“helping them conquer dualism”
— the “we-they” syndrome,
Walker—Johnson said. Although
the department has an entire first
year committee, it is still formu-
lating these programs, according
to Walker-Johnson.
Christopher Hahn, president of
the Student Association has
mixed views on the issue. He
said, “I think there needs to be a
specialized area for freshmen to
ease their way in, but its unfair
for those who will be forced to
move next year.”
He does, however, agree with
the specialized programming to
help students integrate them-
selves into an academic life
style.
Some of the special program-
ming will deal with study skills,
active note taking, and active lis-
tening skills. First year students
may feel “over—-whelmed by
large classes,” Walker—Johnson
said.
Because the classrooms are so
large and students feel the, are
inactive participants, Walker—
Johnson said, they may decide
that they don’t have to attend, or
that their homework can be done
sometime in the future.
This may result in a student
not doing as well as they expect-
ed. Walker—Johnson said when
these students take a LC class
“with 500 students, maybe they
will think about some of the tips
we give them.”
New freshmen students have
“new found freedom”
Walker—Johnson said. There are
no parents to tell them what to
do, what to eat, how to clean up
after themselves, and when to do
their homework. She said
“they’re too busy being
free...They need to learn a differ-
ent kind of control—self-control.”
A senior residential assistant,
who spoke on the condition of
anonymity, said that an all fresh- _
man quad it is going to be “the
cause of a lot of trouble. They
are the noise makers, and the
trouble makers.”
Although the majority of the
quad is already comprised of
freshman students, she said there
is still a balance and a “mix of
ages and cultures. All freshman
mean all behavioral problems.”
She also said that five or six
people have already turned down
the position for RA because of
descent concerning the all fresh-
man quad. She said she and other
RAs were not directly told
before hand that this was going
to happen.

Survivors reclaim
lives without fear
By PAM RESNICK
News Editor
Approximately 300 men and women marched through the streets
of Albany last night to protest sexual assault as part of the annual
“Take Back the Night” rally.
The rally was designed to “remember the victims of violence who
didn’t make it and honor the ones that have,” said Mia Morosoff
from the Albany County Rape Crisis Center.
“The struggle against sexual violence is not just a once a year
event,” Morosoff said.
The rally began at the Washington Park Lakehouse with speeches
from some survivors of rape and sexual assault as well as some
experts in the field.

world—wide non-profit organization working for protection of
Human Rights. “No hemisphere of the world is free from abuse... I
am asking you to help to break the circle of violence,” Duncan said.
Duncan said, “Holding the abusers of human rights accountable
for their actions will help make them police themselves.”
Veronica Cruz, policy advisor for the Governor’s Office of Health
and Human Services, said, “This is not something like a natural con-
sequence... it is something about our society that women have to
learn to fear.”
Cruz said the rally is the “re—affirming process of everything that
is good about [women].”
One of the survivors said when she was in seventh grade she told
her mother about the months of sexual abuse her stepfather had been
forcing her to endure. “She had wanted me to keep it to myself.” She
said she was afraid if she told anyone her mother would hate her for
disobeying her.
“T arrived at the conclusion that all human beings were just cold
and stupid,” she said.
Eileen, another survivor, was raped three times during her teen
years. “I was suicidal in high school, but I didn’t really call it that... I
didn’t really know how I felt,” she said.
Eileen said, “I was waking up every morning wishing I was dead...
I needed to heal the pain of the little kid that was locked up inside.”
Eileen said one of her solutions to the pain was therapy. “I got so
hurt, I had shut my heart down and therapy was about opening my
heart back up.”
She said although it sounds strange, she is proud of being a sur-
vivor. “I am so proud about the integrity that all survivors have.”

“on Race Relations,”
By ASHISH PRABHAKAR
Editorial Assistant
“The Talking Stick: A Forum on Race
Relations” was held this week, with a panel of rep-
resentatives from the cultural organizations on
campus.
Jon Iuzzini, who coordinated the forum, said it
“was organized to present a peaceful event, and
promote positive dialogue.”
The forum was originally supposed to be held
last November, and was given the title, “A Summit
but according to Iuzzini, the
administration postponed it and made MAP
change the name of the program. Iuzzini said the
event was postponed because the administration
thought there was too much racial tension on cam-
pus at the time.

Matthew Jagoda, who moderated the forum,

present leaders of the organizations would teach

William Tong, representing the Asian American
Alliance said, “I’m going to tell my officers to
learn from my mistakes, and I’ve made many.”
Sunwa Snamapande, a member of the Muslim
Student Association, who emphasized the differ-
ence between the Nation of Islam and Islam, said,
“Our purpose is to enlighten the campus and the
community on Islam.”
The discussion focused mainly on the racial con-
flicts arising on the SUNYA campus. “Our purpose

The University Democrats and
the Albany Students for Life con-

views on abortion at a debate
Monday.
Albany Students for Life said
life begins with conception, and
each fetus has its own genetic
code, unlike anyone else. It is the
belief that each fetus is a unique
human that makes abortion
wrong, according to the Albany
Students for Life.
“Once you have denied a
human being their right as a
human, you open the door to
unspeakable atrocities against
them,” said Kathryn Watson, of

stand what it is like to go through

like to be told what I can and can-
not do with my body...A woman
should have control of her own
destiny, and her own life.”
Minnock said one reason for
Colonie Center
keeping abortion legalized is that
even if abortion was declared ille-
gal, this would not stop the prac-
tice of abortion. Instead he said
there would be an increase of ille-
gal abortions, putting more
women at risk through medically
unsafe abortions. The Democrats
demonstrated this point with a
video about Becky Bell, a woman
who had sought an illegal abor-
tion and later died of infection.
Albany Students for Life said
abortion is being used as a form of
sex discrimination against
women. This is because cultures
where boy children are favored,
women will more likely abort
their unborn female children, they
said.
Margaret Driscoll, who called
herself a “radical feminist,” said
in her speech that abortion is an
exploitation of women, who suf-
fer both physical and psychologi-
cal effects from abortions, ranging
from infections to extreme guilt.
Driscoll said abortion underminds
one of the fundamental contribu-
tions women make to this world,
the ability to bear children.
“The number one contribution
I’m going to make is to bring
good children into this
world...God has given us
[women] this most important
task.” Driscoll said.
Journalism’s role discussed
By KEvIN DEVALK
Staff Writer
Thomas Patterson, professor of
political science at Syracuse
University, spoke to SUNY stu-
dents and faculty Thursday night
about the problems associated
with covering a presidential elec-
tion. Patterson, who received a
Chancellor’s Award, and wrote
the book Out of Order, said the
press has too much power in
shaping opinion.
“This is not a sensible system.
We depend on the press the way
that we used to depend on the
political party,” Patterson said. In
comparing how elections are
covered by the media today and
how they have been covered over
the past thirty years, the key
issue, he said, is who is in control
of what is being told.
Patterson said the reasoning
behind why the press has so
much control over public opin-
ion is because journalism has
become more of a stylish job.
More people came in and
demanded control “ If you run for
president today, you can expect
to get hammered. That happened
to all three candidates in 1992,”
he said.
Patterson said several aspects
of the political campaign must

change in order to accommodate
this. He suggested making the
campaign time shorter and
increasing coverage of election
primaries and national conven-
tions thereby boosting voters’
awareness of candidates.
Part of the problem is the issue
of sound bites, or the average
amount of time a candidate is
given to speak during a newscast.
Patterson said 30 years ago sound
bites lasted on average, over a
minute, giving the candidate con-
trol as to what was being report-
ed.

SA budget passes despite argument about access to funds
By ALLISON KRAMPF
Senior Editor
The argument about the allocation of
over one million dollars of the student
activity fee ended Tuesday with Central
Council passing the 1994—95 budget.
The budget committee, in an earlier
vote, rejected the budget 0—2-0-0, with
budget committee members Jennifer
Gillis and Thomas Keller voting against
it.
Gillis said she voted against the budget
because the committee unanimously
decided against income lines, and “fig-
ures were put in the budget that were not
voted on” since some groups did not sub-
mit budget requests.
SA President Christopher Hahn includ-
ed some groups in the budget that did not
submit requests for funding. Karima
Wilkins, Central Council Chair, said these
figures were removed from the approved
budget.
Central Council representative
Christian Klossner said the budget
“should be about $100,000 less.” This
would result in $10 being subtracted from
the $122 mandatory student activity fee.
However, no mention of any such reduc-
tion was made at Tuesday’s meeting.
A major debate ensued over the inclu-
sion of income lines, which is the amount
of money a group must raise themselves.
This amount is not part of the total appro-
priation for a group.
For example, ACT-UP/ SUNYA’s
budget is $1100, with an income line of
$150. This makes their total SA appropri-
ation $950.
Rosa Clemente, an ex—officio member
of the budget committee, said some
groups, such as the Revisionist Zionist
Alternative, raised money over their
income line, but they cannot access that
money.
“Ts that fair?” Clemente said.
Once a group deposits income,
University Auxiliary Services, which
issues checks for student groups, will not
accept deposits unless they are applied to
the income line, Clemente said, and extra
funds are not accessible unless it is an
emergency.
Extra money raised by groups may “go
to other groups in the hole [since] checks
and balances has not been happening for _
years,” Clemente said.
“Many organizations brought in surplus
money. Why weren’t they informed they
could use this money?” Keller said.
Clemente also said the comptroller is |
supposed to go over a student group’s
records at the end of the Fall semester
and make sure 25% of their budget is
spent. If it is not, the budget is supposed
to be frozen. “This has also not been hap-
pening for years,” Clemente said.
“Groups with high income lines cannot
do adequate programming because they
cannot reach their income lines. If groups
have adequate money, they should not
need an income line. Any group on this
campus should be against an income line

“The rationale for removing income
lines is very few organizations made
these lines. Why should we continuously
fund income lines as part of revenue?”
Keller said.
Keller said before the budget was draft-
ed, many groups did not receive notifica-
tion that their budgets were changed and
the President (Hahn) did not fulfill his
obligations to inform them.”
Another Central Council representative
said many groups had not been informed
of the budget meeting, (where they may
state a case to Central Council for
increased funding) and this is forcing
problems on next year’s Council.
Steven Kim, chair of the Budget
Committee, said “letters were sent out to
groups saying the budget is only tempo-
rary.”
“Groups will have the ability to go
before the new council” to make requests,
Wilkins said.
The budget includes $18,000 for an SA
publicity director. Wilkins said Council
added a rider stating the Central Council
chair, SA President, Vice-President,
Comptroller and SA Director of
Operations, Rita Levine, have to put
together guidelines for this job, and these
people must also interview applicants.
Central Council must approve a poten-
tial director by a 2/3 vote, Wilkins said,
and if the position is not filled by October
31, the money will go to supplemental
appropriations. !

NYPIRG fights for
end to homelessness
The New York Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG) is launching a campaign to fight
hunger and homelessness in the Capital District.
The group will sponsor a campus wide food
drive from Monday, April 25 to Friday, April 29
and will then participate in a hunger clean up on
Saturday, April 30 to benefit the homeless in the
Capital District. According to Traveler’s Aid,
there were 2,899 cases of homelessness in the
capital region in 1993.
The hunger clean up is a departure for
NYPIRG which usually works on advocacy pro-
jects.
This program is service oriented and will
involve participants doing volunteer work at var-
ious sites for pledges said Zina Cary, NYPIRG
program coordinator.
The sites NYPIRG will be working at are St.
Catherine’s Center for Children on the
Washington Avenue Extension, the Mercy
House Shelter, and Catholic Charities.
Cary said the money raised will go to area
agencies and the National Student Campaign
Against Hunger and Homelessness.
Cary said the project was an important one,
one they “definitely want to continue next fall.”
Information on the campaign can be obtained
by contacting NYPIRG at 442-5658.

Kazim Ali encouraged Asian stu-
dents at the Asian Pacific American
Conference last weekend to get
involved with SUNYA politics and dis-
cussed the transition from cultural lead-
ership to political leadership.
Ali, vice president for Campus
Affairs of the Student Association of
the State University, explained lobby-
ing as, “some specific decision you
want to influence the outcome of.”
He said advocacy, on the other hand
is, “not so specific on a single issue. It’s
more along the lines of being present,
being visible, having your voice
heard.”
He stressed the importance of Asian
involvement in the Student Association
especially for the positions he called
non-traditional for students of color.
“In SA here there are two positions
created specifically with the needs of
students of color in mind, the
Multicultural Affairs director and the
Affirmative Action director,” Ali said.
Ali said the positions which were not
specifically created for students of

color such as the programming director,
the media director, and the educational
affairs director, are especially important
to have Asian involvement in.

tive, said, “Being involved with SA is a

Cheng also discussed the collabora-
tion among Asian associations this
year. “This year there’s been a lot more
unity whereas in the past Chinese
Student Association and Korean
Student Association has had a lot of
friction,” Cheng said.
Matt Jagoda, president of Forum for
Political Thought, agreed Asian unity
has strengthened. “They’ve all learned
to work together and I think the people
coming up in next years (executive)
board have learned this.”
Ali said it is important to not take
away from the advancement of other
groups when working for empower-
ment. “We shouldn’t quantify what
kind of programs we have. We don’t
want to take away from what anyone
else has... we don’t want to belittle the
students of color who have been able to
succeed, but we want to succeed also.”
Ali gave advice on campaign strate-
gies to help students who want to get
elected to a position within SA.
“You vote on your quad,” Ali said,
“and the apathetic nature on this cam-
pus makes it possible to round up your
friends and get elected.”
He said what works when trying to
get elected is door to door campaigning
and one on one contact. “Explain what
you believe in and what you can do for
them,” Ali said.
Ali told students postering does not
work. “Postering puts your name up
there and may look cute but unles
you’re doing the door to door, one on
one, it doesn’t work,” Ali said.

The answer to the test question
EIDITOIRIAIL
Make Our Campus Safe
During the Student Association elections there
were many promises made about improving campus
safety and the programs which could be instituted to
improve it. With the election of Cliff Lent and Brian
Donovan, it’s time for them to follow through on
their promises. ;
The Take Back the Night march on Thursday
should serve as a reminder to all students, not just
women, of the importance of campus safety. After
hearing the survivors speak about their terrors and
how it has affected their lives it starts to feel like it
could happen to anyone. It can.
Although the administration has taken some
measures to improve lighting and some other small
things, students are still left with a feeling of unease.
Has anyone ever seen a UPD officer walking the
campus? Has anyone needed the Don’t Walk Alone
program after they have gone home for the night?
UPD will escort students if they call for a ride which
is a great sevice but it isn’t enough. The point here is
that many students are still up after the majority of
the safety programs have cut their staff or have gone
home for the night. How many officers are really
needed during the day? There should be more on
during the night, when most crimes occur. Students
are often left feeling as though the only reason that
UPD is in existence is to tow cars and give tickets.
Protect the students first, ticket the cars later!
It is too easy to look at the administration and
blame them for a lack of safety measures but some
responsibility must be taken by the students. Crimes
against women are still a major crisis in this country
and men need to understand what they are doing. No
one deserves to be beaten for what they do. Hitting
women does not solve anything, raping does not
make a man or prove a point. Attacks against
women only serve to destroy the woman, the family,
and children while disgracing the male gender.
These attacks only perpetuate into problems for
other generations through the children who must live
‘| through these ordeals. It is unlikely that many men
would see or feel the urge to assault women if they
could hear and see the consequences of their actions.
The potential Excelsior program will only serve to
create more problems for campus safety. The plan as
it stands now is to house these students on Alumni
Quad. Does it make sense to anyone to be putting
students, most of which are under 18 years old in the
| Pine Hills area? These students are coming in from
high schools from around New York, many on their
own for the first time, and being placed furthest
away from most university services. It would make
more sense to house the Excelsior students uptown
where they would be closer to the library, the
campus center, and better protected by UPD. I
highly doubt that many administrators would let
their teenagers loose in a city if they were not
nearby. It makes more sense to let Alumni house the
older students who have been on their own for a
while, who are more responsible and more mature.
Some dorms on Alumni are now closed for
improvements and repairs for the Excelsior students.
It is very doubtful that the administration would
have closed them if Alumni were to house
undergraduates next year.
It is sad that the only time campus safety becomes
a major issue is at the times when an unfortunate
incident occurs. If a little bit of planning could save
just one student from a tragedy, it would be worth
the time and effort that it takes to make the campus
safer.
Public awareness and education are the two major
keys to improving the quality of our campus safety.
It is only through joint cooperation between students
who know where the unsafe areas are and the
administrators who have the power to make the
changes necessary. Improvements would make us all
feel safer and maybe someday students will be able
to walk on campus without having to look over their
shoulder.

Latino Population Control Now!
The headlines read Hispanics will become the largest
minority group in the nation. However, the irony which
follows what can be perceived as power for this group is
daunting. Latinos, in the United States, will also become
the largest impoverished group in America if not the
hemisphere. The pride that comes with the growth of our
community is soon dwindled to a grieving thought of
what this rapid rate of population growth really means.
If we examine the indicators of human development of
the Latino community we know the stark reality of those
figures; high rates of unemployment and high school
drop-outs, a lack of decent and affordable housing, a
resurgence of age old epidemics and the threat of new
Guillermo Martinez
ones, large numbers of teenage pregnancies, social and
moral decay, a rise in violence, and as shocking, the
disrespect for the institutions which creates stability in a
modern society. |
Yes the picture is bleak and the reality is even worse.
So what can the Latino community hope to accomplish as
its numbers grow and immeasurable misery follows in
abundance? Well to start, we can review decades of
attempts to reduce poverty in other societies, their
“successes and failures, and more importantly, which path
our community must take.
In a society where racism and bigotry are all too
common, the deep-rooted resentments created over
generations of time has established a passion for revenge
of sorts. In the most radical philosophy preached in the
Latino community, large scale population growth is seen
as a tool by which we will effectively take control of a
society which has denied us so much. However, at what
cost?
If the present socioeconomic characteristics which so
clearly define the present conditions of our communities
are dramatically amplified during a period of large scale
population growth, we must realize that we will find
ourselves managing anarchy at a level never before seen
in American history.
Thereby, in combination with the growth of other
communities facing the same dilemmas, posing a
considerable threat to the rule of law, the U.S.
Constitution and the opportunity for prosperity this nation
can Offer. If you think this argument is trivial, just
examine the fact that rapid demographic changes, by
threatening social stability, have been factors behind the
emergence of military governments throughout the
history of mankind.
While any attempt to control the rapid rate of growth of
the Latino community can be questioned on the basis of:
Cost and benefits to whom and under whose value
premises or cultural settings are any such strategies
designed, it is obvious that neglect of the present
situation will destroy what is left of certain fundamental
Judeo-Christian values in our society.
More simply stated: Who will we allow to carry the
guns, control our streets and define our existence. The
political and social anarchy viewed in other parts of the
world have one thin in common — unmanageable
population growth destroying viable economic
development models. Surely, by examining the
similarities in our own society we can learn from blunt
reality.
Under the conditions existing in most poor countries,
rapid population growth slows, sometimes drastically, the
absorption of the bulk of the population into the modern
high—productivity economy. At the same time, any
demographic effects in stimulating innovation or
investment call for a moderate pace of growth; rapid
growth hinders the capacity of poor countries to cope
effectively with large changes in their natural or
economic environments.
On other words, it constricts the promises that
economic development can hope to achieve for them. The
Latino communities throughout our nation are in fact
these poor countries; facing rapid population growth,
rapid social decay, vast human misery and drops in
average income — all at the same time and all contributing
to the terrible loss of a wealth of human potential.
Rapid rates of population growth drain off investment
to train and equip an expanding labor force. Rapid
population growth imposes considerable new
organizational demands on a Society. It is a well Known
fact that social structures are considerably affected by
these types of changes and that the doubling of
population size in a generation and a city’s size in
sometimes a decade keeps a country’s political and
administrative apparatus perpetually off—balance. In
addition, population growth can cause sudden shifts in
resource prices and their impact on technology and the
labor force can cause major economic calamities already
too common in our communities.
Finally, rapid population growth fractured into it’s
components, of longer life expectancy and high fertility
rates as well as immigration, results in the constriction of
what can be achieved via economic development;
individual wealth and amenity. The Latino community is
not immune to these forces. By the year 2000, there will
be a 63% increase in the number of Hispanic women who
are of child—bearing age. Joined with high rate of teenage
pregnancy and of high school dropouts, these factors
combined have proven to be disastrous as high fertility
rates and low educational attainment have devastated
continents like Africa, South America and Asia. In
addition, millions more, already living in comparative
poverty, are living past their 70’s. The number of
Hispanics living past 65 is expected to increase by 244%
by the end of this decade.
The present policies which shape who will benefit from
the allocation of limited resources will tell the future. For
now, our backs are not yet against the wall. However, we
need to be the first ones to state for the record that it is
time to control the rate of growth of the Latino
community in the United States.
In the face of the harsh statistics which show little hope
of escape from the squalor of modern poverty we can not
in good conscience allow more Latino children to be born
into a society which rips them of their dignity and offers
nothing better than pain. Let’s not be so selfish as to deny
future generations the freedom from such dispiriting
existence. .

~The Pumpkins Smash the RACC
The Smashing Pumpkins performed at
the RACC Monday to a crowd of over
5000 people. Unfortunately, about 4500 of
them seemed to have hailed from Albany
High and other local institutes of
learning for adolescent boys and girls.

They played.abogt six tunes and made
way for the*Pumpkins.
Between the two bands’ performances,
there was a brief interlude. During this
time I had the opportunity to experience
a nice contact high from two separate
groups of juveniles toking up around me.
One girl actually said to her friend, “Hey,
their weed smells better than ours!” as if
to say their own personal classroom
dealer sucked. They then proceeded to
undertake a rousing discussion con-
cerning where exactly the Smashing
Pumpkins were from. “I think Seattle,”
one kid, wearing the obligatory baggy
jeans and concert T-shirt, said.
And oh, the variety of concert T-shirts.
There was an influx of Smashing
Pumpkins shirts. I also saw Nine Inch
Nails shirts, Sonic Youth, Bob Mould,
Pearl Jam, and even REM shirts. Which
leads me to this question: why does the
youth of today feel obligated to don
“alternative” attire to go to concerts when
they would otherwise be wearing loafers
and shirts with little alligators in the
corner? Is it some unwritten rule that
everyone must look like a carbon copy of
the stereotypical “alternative” teen (and
isn’t that an oxymoron in itself?). But I
digress.
The Smashing Pumpkins, consisting of
D’arcy, bassist, and Jimmy Chamberlain,
drummer, started with their first major
hit single, “Cherub Rock,” from the
Siamese Dream album. They did not
converse much with the crowd in the
beginning, beyond Corgan’s almost shy,
“Hi, good evening.” Nevertheless, the
atmosphere was intense as_ they
performed three of their singles,
“Cherub,” “Today,” and “Disarm” within
the first fifteen minutes of the act. Also,
they played “I Am One” off of Gish, their
first album, and many of those crazy
moshing kids paused momentarily in
their Dionysian-like frenzy to wonder
what the hell they were hearing (“Hey-
I’ve never heard this on Q-104!”).
One of the high points of the show was
“Disarm.” It was stripped down to the
basics and almost acoustically done, and
Corgan’s voice resounded passionately
it, that w
sarm” as the i.» {im
high point).
The talent of the Smashing Pumpkins
lies not only in their alternating
hard-edge guitar riffs and beautiful soft
melodies, (both perfect in the song,
“Soma”) but also in Corgan’s powerfully
emotional lyrics. During one of the three
encores, they performed “Mayonnaise,” #
which contains the lines: “No more
promise, no more sorrow/ No longer will
I follow/ Can anybody hear,me?/ I just
want to be me.” To hear Corgan belt these
lines live, right in front of me, intense and
extreme, positively sent shivers down my
back. Corgan connects with the audience,
at least those who care to pay attention to
the music.
And those who do not pay attention do
not realize that most of the cynicism and
bitterness of the lyrics as well as Corgan’s
interactions with the crowd are aimed at
them. “To those of you who have been
fans of us for a long time, thank you,”
Corgan said to the audience. “To those of
you who are just beginning to listen to us,
I hope you’re finding what you're
looking for. And to those of you
who aren’t fans, I’m sorry if we
bored the fuck out of you. That’s

If people think Madonna
has lost some of the power
she used to have access to,
the With Honors soundtrack
has been released to prove
otherwise.
Jason Black
The soundtrack is all at
once on Madonna’s Maverick
record label, features
Madonna singing the film’s
theme song, features
Maverick’s biggest success,
Candlebox, and the film itself
is directed by Truth Or Dare
director Alek Keshishian. A
veritable Madonna-fest.
The appearance of artists
like Belly, Kristen Hersh
(previously of Throwing
Muses), and Grant Lee
Buffalo suggest a strong
display of alternative acts, an
idea made popular over the
past year by releases like No
Alternative, Born to Choose,
and done well with grunge
acts on the _ Singles
soundtrack. Upon closer
examination, however, the
presence of Duran Duran,
Lyle Lovett, and Babble
(featuring ex-members of
The Thompson Twins) betray
such a goal, leaving only a
user-friendly assortment of
mainstream acts, with added
credibility lent by fresher,
younger musicians.

If you have been fortunate enough to have your
parents pay for your undergraduate education, you
will eventually have to justify the expense with
proof of having learned something. You must prove
that college was indeed —pause for trumpet fanfare—
‘An Investment In The Future.”
What 1 Really Ccamncd tn College
Kevin Bisch
With graduation looming large, I am anticipating
_a stressful dinner the evening after commencement.
_ The scene: the whole family gets settled in a booth
at an expensive restaurant of your choice, make
small talk about how boring the ceremony was and
order your food. The minute the menus are taken
_ away, mom or dad (or mom and dad, if you’re one
_ of the few with parents who are still married) leans
forward and drops the big question: “Well
unior/darling, after four years and $30,000, what
have you learned?”
They say it mildly enough, but the look in their
eyes is predatory. You sip your water, wrinkle your
brow and chew an ice cube. Depending on your
major, you will begin to stammer something about
FIFO, LIFO, supply side economics, sonnet
construction, the mating habits of bees, et al. You
might seem convincing. You might even believe
yourself. But if your parents are anything like mine,
_ they will lean forward and say:
“And...?”
Their eyes are silently conveying the real message
which is “Cut the shit Junior/darling, what did you
really learn?”
Now your in trouble. You will lose your appetite
_and squirm from the salad through the dessert.
_ HOWEVER, if you read on I will arm you with a list
_of rebuttals which samples what I have learned
_ after four years and $30,000. Though these will not
_ satisfy mom and/or dad permanently, one or a
- combination will at least distract them and enable
you to enjoy the best meal you’ve had since the
winter recess.
<<Rewind
“So junior/darling, after four years and $30,000,
what have you learned?”
You sip your water, wrinkle your brow, chew an
ice cube and confidently say:”You know,
Mom /Dad, I learned that:
-there’s only so many times you can hear “Brown
Eyed Girl"
-if someone crosses a crowded bar to let you
know how happy they are since they’re over you,
they are neither happy nor over you.
-you should never skimp on your haircut or your
shoes.
-you should always skimp on sunglasses,
otherwise you'll be too hurt when you inevitably
break or lose them.
~it’s hard to dance and still look tough.
-you shouldn’t get wings or pasta on a first date.
—the only difference between college and high
school is in college, you can wear the same jeans for
a week and no one says anything.
—once you move downtown, never go uptown to
hook up.
-when you enter a bar, you will ruin whatever
you are wearing and spend all the money you
brought.
—despite what you told me for years, I really do
know everything.
—no one can teach you anything worthwhile. The
things that can be taught to you like FIFO, LIFO,
and the mating habits of bees are small details that
someone else has said is important. If you listen to
what someone else says is important, you will
never know the contents of your own heart and
head or find the wisdom therein. You'll lose your
own conviction and desire among FIFO and LIFO.
You have to decide what lessons are important and
learn them for yourself. In the end, getting what
you want is easy. Deciding what you want is the
hard part.
Of course you could also say you learned you
should eat shrooms with a handful of Rice Krispies,
but that depends on the parents.

staff’s effort to make

Patrick
Skerry
When one enters the
_ theatre, the sense of the
time period and setting are
‘immediately gained through
* gazing across the quiet set. Ina
sense this betrays the amount of
work carried out to transform a
darkened bare lab theatre into an
‘orchard and a forest which are the
? settings of the play. The set even
makes possible the illusion of a small
campfire when the banished Duke talks
‘among his men banished with him to the
’ Forest of Arden.
In the play, Orlando, the hero,
ruminates about his unremarkable life. After
being banished to the forest he finds the
_7 woman he is in love with seeking asylum in
/ that same place. However, she is disguised as a
man which leads to a series of interesting love
triangles.
As with all productions in which people put
much effort, there are performances in this play
which stand out amongst the rest. The first
appearance of a well acted character is that of
Timothy H. Schultz in his role as Adam, the old
man-servant of Orlando. Schultz throughout the
play conveys the pains of old age quite well
even given the brevity of his appearances.
Both David Laffin, as the evil Duke Frederick,
and Brendan Gallagher, as Touchstone the fool,
play their characters with a slight sense of
seriousness and a great sense of comedy. Laffin
plays at the foul-hearted villain in the same
vein as the villain in Kevin Costner’s Robin
Hood. If Pacino was to play a Shakespeare
villain, it might look like Laffin’s portrayal.
Not much can be said of Gallagher’s
performance of Touchstone other than it was on
the money, Those who know Gallagher might
say that it was not quite a stretch for him to play
the fool, but he did an excellent job in any
regard.
Other performances worthy of note belonged
to Roger J. Miletic, Steven Devail, Stacey
Schmetz, and Joshua Bitton. Their efforts as Le
Beau, Silvius, Phebe, and William were well
received by this reviewer and the audience.
Though some of the lines were short (or almost
nonexistent as in the case of William) these
players carried their lines and themselves to
give credit to the production.
The only performance which came across as
bland was that of Michael Fitzgerald as Duke
Senior. He ran the whole gamut of emotions
from A to B. It was just difficult to believe that
he was a man who had been banished to the
forest for some time.
Every apple has its seeds and so every play
seems to have its faults. For the most part, the
acting was good and only seemed to falter in
regards to directing. The first act begins with
bad pacing and odd interpretation which
unfortunately reflects on some of the actors in it.
Matthew Gregory seems to stumble through the
first scenes and comes across as a bad
performer. This is remedied in the second half
of the play, which shows to us that Gregory
Dou Might Like St...
indeed has the ability to act.
Ken Bush has the actors break down the
fourth wall (directly address the audience) quite
a bit throughout the play. I was told quite
extensively by members of the play that
Shakespeare did this quite often in his time. I
hope it worked better for him than it did for this
production. The shape of the theatre may have
detracted from the usefulness of this theatrical
device. When an actor addressed the right or
left side of the audience, it had the effect of
cutting off the opposite side from effectively
hearing the lines. Had the audience been
arranged in a presidium seating, those problems
might have been lessened.
There is also some question as to Bush’s
casting and positioning of actors. In the first
half, several times the audience sees the actors
upstage each other and speak to the back of the
set. Certain other directing’mistakes come
across but do not have the weight of those
mentioned above. If Ralph Waldo Emerson was
correct in saying, “To be great is to be
misunderstood,” then Ken Bush truly did a
great job in directing the play.
Consistent with their past accomplishments,
the costume designers did a rather nice job
outfitting the cast as they might have looked
back in the time of the play’s inception (except
the women’s apparel, which I am quite sure was
more shapely here as compared to back in the
late middle ages when men assumed the
females’ roles). A talented costume designer,
Janet Sussman’s one fault lay in the look of
Charles, the Duke’s wrestler. My understanding
of the character of the wrestler conflicts with the
outfit which he wore. The look was that of a
dandy and a flamboyant fellow rather than that
of a formidable grappling opponent.
As for recommending this play, I would
encourage everyone to take an opportunity to
see this production. The aspects of the play
which are good are very, very good, and those
aspects which are bad are not that detracting
from the enjoyment of this comedy.

Historic Comic Collaboration
n its latest marketing ploy, Image comics
brought together two prominent names of
the comic book industry, Frank Miller and
Todd McFarlane, to give us their
interpretation of Frank Miller’s version of
“Batman” versus McFarlane’s “Spawn”
character.
Mike Failla
This long awaited book features the art of Todd
McFarlane (famous for his work on such books
as “Amazing Spider-Man,” ”The Incredible
Hulk,” ’Spider-Man” and now ”Spawn”), and
the writing prowess of Frank Miller (famous for
writing , the already classic “Dark Knight
Returns”, “Batman: Year One”, ”Elektra Lives
Again”, “Sin City”, and is currently working on
“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For”). The cover alone
is enough to get you sucked in (or is it suckered
in?). :
Upon reading the first couple of pages of the
book, I found that McFarlane and Miller worked
quite well. The art in there is incredible.
McFarlane was certainly at his best as he gave us
the Dark Knight and Spawn in all their glory.
Any clown could sit and stare at the pictures for
hours , whether they’re stoned or not, and still
find this art outstanding.
As the story went on, the plot was never given
a chance to evolve. Frank Miller’s brilliance
seemed to be cut short in this book (probably by
deadlines and the like) by some unknown force,
leaving us a book filled with Picasso like art and
”Cro-Magnon” writing. If you’re one of those
people who like watching all those “Rocky”

movies in succession, then this one’s for you. It’s
filed with stereotypical fight scenes between the
two characters while the real villain and the real
reason for their meeting, ”“Dr. Margaret Love“
(UH OH...) is barely explained and gets killed
before you realize it. I think the actual climax of
the story was when Batman splits Spawn’s crispy
face in two with one of his assorted weapons.
To people who are already on the bandwagon
saying comic books are for kids, and they’re just
good guys fighting bad guys, this is just fuel for
the fire. These two artists are capable of much
more. This title should have had a chance to take
flight, rather than being confined to the forty
some-—odd pages it was given. I guess we were
meant to stare at the pictures. Text books should
be like that.
Performances By Young And Old Make Korean Night A Hit

The Parson’s Children group of twenty or so of the cutest children you’ve

stole the show, gave the best performance any preschoolers could give. The
“ooh” ing and “aah” ing didn’t stop. The children were part of the Parson’s
Project, an adoption project which finds homes for Korean children here in the
United States. They work alongside KSA to help the children retain their
native culture through programs such as this. The children’s parents also gave
a shot at singing a traditional Korean song. However, they weren’t as lovable

The New York Samul Nori Co. a group of four percussionists, blew the
crowd away with the thunderous pounding of drum rhythms called Jango, |
Nong-Ak, and a dance called Pan—Gut. Though some of their pieces seemed to
go on forever, it was something different and refreshing to experience. Just
watching the energy and the passion they played with was exhausting. The
sight of hair flying, heads spinning, and the drummers leaping from one end
of the stage to another was unlike any drum solo familiar to most people.
In between the drummers, who performed at three different intervals in the
show, the crowd were appeased by a few musical numbers, one of which was

ASIP VIEW IPOLIN I
The SUNY Albany campus has recently suffered yet
another damaging setback.
Dr. Mitchel Livingston, vice-president for student
affairs, announced Sunday that he will be resigning his
position and moving on to the University of Cincinnati.
Now, I admit, I have continuously had complaints
about the performance of the administration, but Dr.
Livingston is one of the few administrators I can say I
have and always will have a huge amount of respect for.
Pam Resnick
And, I am not just saying this because he is leaving.
Most of you probably do not even realize who
Livingston is, but let me tell you a little of what I have
learned about him.
I think what triggered this great respect I have for him
is observing his interaction with the Jewish students
during their troubling conflict with President Swygert
last semester.
Dr. Livingston is a soft spoken, very articulate man
who not only receives respect from the students he
speaks to, but shows them the same respect in return. For
almost five hours, Dr. Livingston stayed in the lobby of
the administration building talking to the students and
not once did I hear him interrupt a student while they
were voicing their complaints. He listened to them and
when they were done he told them what he thought they
should do in a calm and rational tone. Never before have
I seen an administrator who puts his students on the
same level as himself.
But, that is not even the convincing aspect of his
actions at this University. Soon after the original protest,
the Jewish students arranged for President Swygert to
speak to them in the Assembly Hall. President Swygert,
who had promised to stay for a full hour, left after
twenty minutes. But, Dr. Livingston who was there on
his own accord, dressed in a pair of jeans and a leather
jacket, stuck around for over an hour talking to the
students.
I stood there for about a half hour amazed at the level
of patience he exhibited. He had about thirty students
standing around him with angered complaints about the
man he works for and not once did he lose his temper or
attempt to invalidate any of their concerns.
The administration has been accused of being
politicians instead of educators, and for the most part, I .
believe this to be true. The true qualities of an educator
are the ability to teach but, also to listen. The learning
process cannot occur until there is open discourse
between the students and their educators.
Dr. Livingston is the only administrator I have ever
seen that allows this discourse to happen. He
understands that students want to listen, but even moreso
need to be heard. He respects their opinions, but also
makes it known when he disagrees, in a respectful
manner.
I don’t think the students of SUNY Albany realize
what they are losing when Dr. Livingston leaves in July.
We are losing a man who is genuinely concerned with
the quality of education to be found at this University. In
today’s educational system, this is a rare quality to find
in a top administrator.
I just hope the students of the University of Cincinnati
appreciate what a treasure they are gaining and what an
asset that treasure will be to their futures. Dr. Livingston,
you will be missed, but I wish you and your family all
the luck in the world.
LETTERS TOT
Zionism Is
Judaism
To the Editor:
Where have all the anti-Semites gone?
The answer: anti-Semitism does not exist.
There aren’t many people in the world
who openly decree their hatred for the
Jewish people anymore. Has the world
been sensitized? Has the world purged
itself of the evils of prejudice, racism and
anti-Semitism? Certainly not. There has
only been a change in the rhetoric; the
anti-Semites put on masks. It is much
easier to be anti—Zionist these days then
to be anti-Semitic. The former Soviet
Union was one of the most anti-Semitic
institutions in the world. When Jews were
jailed for Jewish activities they were
thrown in jail on the charge of being
Zionists. When one looks closer at the
“Zionist” activities of the arrested Jews,
one finds that they were arrested for
conducting Jewish religious rituals or
even teaching in religious schools. Even if
they were arrested for “Zionist” activities,
why should it be a crime for Jews to
retain their national and religious
identity?
Is it possible for someone to deny the
nationhood of the French, to work to
destroy France, but to claim that they do
not have anything against the French
people? The answer is obviously no. If
you deny the nationhood of the French
and any French rights to their homeland,
then you are anti-French and a enemy of
the French people, no matter how sincere
you are with your love for the French
people. That same standard applies when
referring to the Jews. When one criticizes
Israel should they be considered an
anti-Semite? No, certainly not. Although
those who deny Jewish nationhood, work
to destroy the Jewish nation, and call for
the destruction of Israel are anti-Semites.
One can easily distinguish between one
who criticizes Israel because they care for
it and one who criticizes because they
loathe it.
Most of the nations in the world in
order to gain their independence have
been born out of war. Why is it that Israel
has always been singled out as a nation
born out of war? When the surrounding
Arab countries attacked the reborn Israel
there were deaths of several thousand
Arabs as well as Jews. Why is it that there
is not the same criticism of Pakistan,
whose birth accompanied the deaths of
about one million Hindus and Muslims?
The United States of America itself was
born out of war. Where is the criticism of
Pakistan and America?
1G RIDITOIR
The All African Peoples Revolutionary
Party believes that Zionism is evil and
should be destroyed wherever it may be
found. Their hypocrisy is unbelievable.
As a Nationalistic movement, how can
they condemn another nationalistic
movement?
What do groups like the AAPRP want?
The absolute destruction of the Jewish
state? Do they want another Holocaust?
Do they desire to murder the four million
citizens of Israel? The destruction of the
country would inevitably lead to these
deaths. The anti-Zionist mask may ease
the conscience of the anti-Semite, but the
consequences for the Jews are the same.
Harry Rubenstein
RZA/Tagar Executive Board
Irish Eyes
Aren’t Smiling
To the Editor:
This last week a friend of mine told me
that there was somebody selling Irish
“stuff’ near the small fountain, knowing
that I am Irish and that I was there
[Ireland] this past summer. So on my way
to class one day I passed by to see what
he was selling. It was mostly tee-shirts,
bumper stickers and pins, but the thing
that really annoyed me was the fact that
most of the items for sale either said
I.R.A. or by their sentiments were
pro-I.R.A. I was so angry that this man
was there selling these things that I didn’t
even stop to take a closer look at the stuff
‘nor did I speak to him. The only thing that
“RZA/TAGAR will be back in full strength in the
fall, will continue to confront all anti-Semites, will
teach Jewish pride, and will never again be
silent.”
Depression
To the Editor:
I greatly appreciate Mr. Baker’s feature
on depression (ASP, 4/15/94). I admire
his openness on such a trying subject. I
feel it’s important to inform our fellow
students about the unfortunate pervasive
mess of depression. I’d like to add,
however, that the so-called SSRI’s are
not the only medications available to treat
depression.
Tricyclic anti-depressants and
monoamine oxidase inhibitors may also
be used. Moreover, I’d encourage
so-called “talk therapy” as the first place
to turn despite its considerable expense.
I feel its also worth mentioning that the
major symptoms of depression are: loss of
interest in pleasure, not caring anymore,
disturbances in sleeping and eating
patterns, difficulty in concentrating,
thoughts of death and/or suicide,
decreased energy and possible feelings of
worthlessness.
I thank you for your article. I would
encourage any and all students to seek
appropriate help if they are concerned
about themselves or others.
Stephen Eder
—-Ronn Torrosian
gave me any relief was that for the days
that he was there not to many other
people stopped to talk to him either.
While I agree that there is a war going
on in Northern Ireland and that terrorist
activities are perpetrated by both the
Catholic I.R.A. and the assorted
Protestant paramilitaries, the later seldom
reported in popular U.S. papers, I find the
open and public support for any of these
groups to be repugnant and horrifying. I
have taken the time and effort to learn
about the history of the war and the
policies in Northern Ireland and I am a
sympathizer for the Catholic minority
there for many reasons, but I cannot
sympathize with or condone the terrorist
activities perpetrated against the common
citizens in any country or nation.
We are so quick to condemn the Arab
Fundamentalists and the Militant Israeli
Settlers in our conversations and we
would never allow the same type of
propaganda to be sold in support of their
causes and activities on this campus. I’m
sure that the campus groups that are so
fond of public protests on this campus did
not even notice or realize just what was
being sold by this bearded man in a jacket
and cap.
I am a staunch believer in the first
amendment, so I do not feel that this man
should have been censored in any way,
but I do believe that something needs to
be said about it.
How can we openly and actively
condemn certain terrorist organizations
and yet let one openly advocate for
foreign public support without active
opposition? Maybe it’s because the I.R.A.
nor the U.V.P or the U.F.P (two
Protestant Paramilitary organizations)
have not attacked a U.S. target. Or maybe
we'll sit by idly until they kill an
American here or in Northern Ireland or
on main land Britain. But why should we
wait until American blood is shed in the
war in Northern Ireland before we stop
supporting the terrorist groups and start
advocating for peace. I am well aware of
the peace talks that are going On at
present, but they will not do much good
until the people that are supporting these
groups start to support the efforts for
peace that are being made.
Alysia Privrat
Clemente
Falsely Praised
To The Editor:
This letter is in response to a very
foolish letter by a contributing editor to
the ASP, by the name of Glenn Teichman.
I would like to tell all some information
about Rosa Clemente. Ms. Clemente has
publicly referred to the ASP as the
“Anglo-Saxon Press,” yet the editor sees
fit to defend her, saying she is not a racist.
Why? Ms. Clemente advocates “Unity
housing.” This sounds like a politically—
correct term — what is it really? What it is
is a return to segregation — advocating
separate housing for African American
and Latino students. I am not sure, but I
thought that minorities fought to end
segregation, now Ms. Clemente and
others like her welcome its return. This
sounds to me like a racist plan totally
unfitting for a multicultural director, yet
Mr. Teichman neglected to mention this
in his ‘brilliant’ article. Martin Luther
King and others like him would have
turned in their graves.
As far as Ms. Clemente’s record in
office — she was terrible. She used the
office to further personal causes — not to
teach love of all. She neglected the 5,000
Jewish students on this campus, never
offered to program for them, and
expressed anti-Semitic, and anti—white
sentiments throughout the year. By sitting
in a Nation of Islam forum, and
expressing support for their causes, this is
anti-Semitic (front page of the ASP in

be allowed to live on Indian Quad there
as long as they live with an RA.
Also, she said, anyone on staff and
working with residential life will be
allowed to live on Indian Quad. She said
“it’s not like it’s going to be a big
change,” but that it is going to be unfortu-
nate for the students who are no longer
staff members and who expected to con-
tinue living on the quad.
She also said some of the RAs are upset
because “they weren’t told before they
were hired.” These students have the atti-
tude, according to Thomas, “why would I
want to live with a bunch of freshmen?”
According to Walker—Johnson, overall
the Department wants first year students
to “feel unified...not just a number.”
Students should feel “like a family and
networked.” She said they should not be
afraid to talk to professors they don’t
know or to each other.

As the government is trying to target
the 1.5% of the illegal immigrant popula-

discriminated against as well.
Shu said the Maryland State
Legislature has passed an English Bill,
which is technically supposed to force
everyone through government programs:
or through their own initiative to learn the,
language. One of the causes for this lawi
being passed, she said, is the fact many:

New Age Celebrates Rebirth
Spiritual Investigation and Magic
Wands
It started in Colorado, not
California, in an area south of
Denver that is purported to have
great universe vibrations. It has
gained notoriety through skeptics
slamming it and proponents prac-
ticing it. Its theories have reached
the New York Times best-seller list in
book form, the shops selling the
accouterments and the people who
are searching for a way to worship
and practice spirituality in their
own way. Shirley Maclaine is
ridiculed and teased about it on
national television every time she
shows her face.
By Heidi Drew Liscomb
"It" is, of course, the New Age
movement and its various factions.
According to Lou Pompi, owner of
the Blue White Rainbow on Lark
Street in Albany, “New Age” is not
really an acceptable term to
describe everything that it encom-
passes.
The term “New Age” generally
brings to mind crystals, drumming,
the men’s movement and Robert
Bly, Wicca, Astrology, and
Aryuvedic healing practices. In
addition, Native American practices
such as sweat lodges and shamanic
ritual are being embraced within
this circle of spiritual practice.
However, the traditions that have
re-surfaced in recent years are not
really new; they are actually rooted
in ancient history. According to
Pompi, the use of crystals to re-dis-
tribute and channel the body’s ener-
gy has been used for thousands of
years. Wicca and Astrology date
from pre- Christian times, and
Aryuvedic therapy is an ancient
Eastern Indian practice.
i The "New Age" refers to a period
of time known as the Age of
Aquarius. The Age of Aquarius will
supposedly lead to massive, com-
plex cosmic changes in energy in
the universe; the world is entering
it now. Pompi says that there is
great debate over when this age
actually begins.
The Blue White Rainbow is a
shop with an instantly—calming
influence. Incense burns, mellow
tunes are playing in the background
and people discuss crystal vibra-
tions at the counter. In addition to a
great book and jewelry selection,
music, dream bags to put under
your pillow at night, and magic
wands can also be bought. The Blue
White Rainbow is dedicated to sup-
porting people in their search for
spirituality and will be expanding
in the near future to offer classes
and workshops.
Another organization that offers
off-the-beaten-track spiritual
investigation is the Capital District
Spiritualist Church and Institute of
Psychic Studies, located at 2245
Central Avenue in Schenectady.
According to Charlene, a teacher
on staff at the Center, the organiza-
tion is not “New Age,” but was
founded in the 1850’s. They belong
to the National Spiritualist
Association of Churches and are
headed by Steven Robinson.
On Fridays at 7:30 p.m. and
Sundays at 8 p.m.; there are open
seances. There will be no rotating
heads or flying objects. This is a
very serious place with no
Hollywood gimmicks involved. The
session opens with a warm-up
prayer to the White Light for pro-
tection, followed by a 15-20 minute
guided meditation and then an
opening of the circle for “message
work,” (think of the circle as a kind
of fiber-optic cable to the sprit
world). The seance lasts about an
hour and a half and costs $7.00.
In addition to seances, the Center
offers Sunday services at 6:30 p.m.
and a three-year intensive spiritual
program. The College of St. Rose
and Empire State College offers
three credits for completion of the
program. You may reach Charlene
at 374-7558.
For those more interested in imme-
diate gratification, Master Copies
(“Faxing, Binding, Photocopying,
Astrology Readings”), on Lark
Street, has a resident astrologer and
psychic. Tosigi, co-owner of the
store, is a master astrologer (and an
excellent jazz guitarist who has
worked with Pharaoh Sanders, a
protege of John Coltrane), who,
with the proper information, can
give anyone feedback. By giving
Tosigi the date, time and place of
birth, he can put a star chart togeth-
er. In order to "read" a customer, he
must spend a couiple of hours with
them.
The non—psychic co-owner of the
store, Jacob Lettreck, says that
Tosigi has given “thousands” of
readings, and recommends his tal-
ents as a possible great service to
the students" of SUNYA. The two
founded the store as a way to sup-
port their dream of creating a jazz
community in Albany. (Pharaoh
Sanders will be coming to Paige
Hall in September).
Customers should be advised that
Tosigi will not always tell every-
thing he finds out about; as a psy-
chic, he will reveal only what he
believes a customer is ready to hear.
His fees are flexible, and appoint-
ments can be made through Jacob at
436-1801.
SUNYA Bridges Consciousnesses
Theories of reincarnation, karma
and human behavior are develop-
ing quickly and are becoming more
widely accepted. Open—minded
individuals are tapping into new
mediums in the hope of finding the
motivation and strength needed to
reclaim their lives from destiny's
grip; SUNYA students can find a
new education beginning with the
Humanities and Fine Arts (HFA
222) class called “The Undisc-
overed Self.”
By Aviva S. Warter
Features Editor
Dr. Armand Baker introduced
this course in 1978, in response to
the students’ need for spirituality.
The subject matter is not only
interesting, but lends its disciples a
point of entry into the unknown -
psychic phenomenon, ESP and
other forms of clairvoyance.
One student currently enrolled in
the class admits that, “this course
offered new ways of thinking,
introduced me to more productive
reasons for living life, and even
lent options for getting a grip on
life and its meaning-something I
definitely couldn’t have learned
from math or science.”
We are indeed embarking on a
new era where our minds are
opening and our emotions are
dependent on theories which
attempt to expose the unknown.
When things go awry and illness
takes its toll, some believe that fate
has tipped its hat, while others
turn to the Old and New
Testaments for the religious
answer and a peek at G-d’s book
of motives.
The idea that man can live on
books alone is a fallacy. The land of
academia gives us biological expla-
nations for human death; physics
lights the path for explanations of
mass, energy and physical matter.
We are taught that all physical
things, from a table to a pen, are
made up of energy, as all matter is.
But do we see a physical table and
pen because that is what society
has programmed our sense to see?
What does it all mean? Is every-
thing that we are familiar with and
surrounded by all an illusion?
Jane Roberts, the channeler for a
spirit and teacher named Seth,
believes so. Roberts, author of the
novel “Seth Speaks” has entered
trances for the past seven years,
allowing herself to channel Seth’s
words, and hopefully offer expla-
nations for life’s questions to any-
one who is a believer.
Gina Cerminara, author of
“Many Mansions—The Edgar Cayce
Story of Reincarnation,” tells us
that the “mind is the builder.” In
his time, Cayce, had given medical
diagnosis through clairvoyance
since 1901, and outlined theories of
reincarnation through recorded
past life readings.
These texts, in addition to Fritjof
Capra’s “Tao of Physics,” C.J.
Jung's “Dreams, Memories and
Reflections” and Carlos Cast-
aneda's “Journey to Ixtlan-the
lessons of Don Juan,” are on the
reading list for this Humanities
course.
Man is a complex entity driven
by emotions and a desire to
“know;” skepticism is ubiquitous,
but an open mind and the ability to
learn and accept new theories for
“why” and “how” can enrich life
and perhaps we'll find that we do
play a role in creating our own
futures.
The New Age sections of

ences, U.F.O. abductions,

angel books, the New Age
market may _ be_ the
fastest-growing segment of
the publishing business.
While... the. ~-term: - is
fuzzily—defined, there is no
doubt that whatever happens
for the moment to be known
as New Age is enormously
lucrative.
Steve Paniccia, Assistant
Manager of the Waldenbooks
at the Colonie Mall, com-
mented that the profits of the
New Age section at his store
grew by 25-30% last year,
and noted in particular the
popularity of angel books
and UFQ. books.
“Remember when U.F.O.s
were just huge, and then
there was a period when peo-
ple just didn’t care? Well,
now they’re starting back up
again”, said Paniccia.
Likewise, he said, angel
books have become popular
enough to “warrant [a dis-
play in] real-estate at the
front of the store”.
A representative of B.
Dalton at the Crossgates Mall
agreed, noting that while
booksellers tended to be a lit-
tle confused about whether
angel books belonged in the
religious or New Age section,
they are going through a sub-
stantial boom. B. Dalton has
also experienced a seeming-
ly-paradoxical shift that
other bookstores notice,
namely, that sales of religious
books have shrunk, as New
Age sales expand.
New Age books do not
focus on abstract intellectual
concerns, as some religious
books do, nor are they writ-
ten with a consciousness of
being works of literature.
Rather, their concerns are
spiritual only in the sense of
the self-help or recovery
movements and their formats
are often those of workbooks.
A review of some of the most
popular books found in the
New Age sections of area
bookstores reveals that
despite wide-ranging subject
matter, the basic themes are
remarkably similar.
One theme is an intense
rejection of the idea that
death should be understood
as anything other than a tem-
porary condition or perhaps
a helpful learning experience.
This idea can be found in all
the books reviewed, and is
the obvious focus of Many
Lives, Many Masters and
Across Time and Death, but
is elaborated on most impres-
sively in the quasi—scientific
best-seller, Ageless Body,
Timeless Mind, by Deepak
Chopra. Ageless meanders ©
dreamily from speculations
on the origins of the universe
to impressions of the function
of cells and D.N.A ,its big
point, shared by other works,
being that death is a “social-
ly-conditioned” notion.
Another theme that Chopra
and other best-selling
authors capitalize heavily on
is the belief that “perception”
is all-important. Discussions
of this usually involves
vague, distorted references to
the principles of quantum
mechanics. Chopra and oth-
ers use the terms that physi-
cists developed to describe
sub-molecular behavior and
apply them to human psy-
chology and, occasionally,
physiology.
An emphasis on love for
oneself and/or “the uni-
verse,” rather than for any
entity as superficial or transi-
tory as another human being
is also important in these
works, particularly in Dan
Millman’s Way of the
Peaceful Warrior, Millman
melds the vocabulary and
imagery of the Men’s
Movement with the mysti-
cism of the near-death expe-
riences crowd, adding a cava-
lier attitude towards intimate
relationships that is all his
own. At this point, he has
become something of a cot-
tage industry, offering books,
audio tapes, an exercise

video, telephone sessions
with him and his wife and
even an “Intensive Residen-
tial Training Program.”
The style of New Age
books is characterized by
acute skepticism regarding
the work of classical psycho-
analysts, research biologists
and neurologists, balanced
with a touchingly uncondi-
tional acceptance of the valid-
ity of any anecdote related by
someone the author knows
personally, particularly if that
person is under hypnosis at
the time. This is particularly
evident in the near-death
and death- experiences texts,
like Closer to the Light and
Many Lives, Many Masters,
both written by M.D.s.
In addition, many of the
books found in this section
including the best-selling
Embraced by the Light and
loser to the Light which
both focus on death-experi-
ences, have as their focus
severely abused children or
adults who were abused as
children. This is notable for
the fact that the abuse is
rarely the focus of the book;
discussions of the causes of
such abuse or of its conse-
quences or even of its details
are infrequent. Instead, vague
and brutal childhood assaults
are presented as merely the
back-drop for the wondrous
experiences related, lending
the books a curious, grim,
uniformity. Abuse is ubiqui-
tous, but, compared to con-
frontations with eternity,
incidental. Neglect and cruel-
ty only seem really worth
taking notice of when they
provide the impetus for some
sort of spiritual leap. Texts of
these kinds invariably offer
all-encompassing philoso-
phies, eagerly accessible and
smoothly infallible, but the
actual stories they tell seem
unnaturally truncated.
Severe childhood depriva-
tion might be considered the
clandestine subject of these
books, for it is invariably
shunted aside’in favor of bril-
liant descriptions of the
supernatural. There is, in fact,
an almost obsessive insis-
tence on turning away from
their sad, frightening, com-
pelling earthly stories
towards their bright, ambigu-
ous philosophies.

The Ladies Locker Room, an off-beat
comedy by Sarah Blacher Cohen, a
University at Albany English Professor with
her own disability, offers a mischievous look
at the intricate workings of a women’s locker
room. She comically explores the
connections among diverse elderly, disabled
and young able-bodied women.
Cohen’s locker room is a haven for the
baring of bared souls as well as a miniature

Although the Mets’ Jeff Kent
may look as clumsy in the field as
Clark, his big bat for N.Y. has
drawn comparisons to Superman
with his major-league leading
eight home runs and 21 RBI’s.
As if Atlanta’s Fab—Four need-
ed another Superman added to the
pitching staff, Clark Kent
Mercker’s no-hitter last week,
struck fear into the rest of the
league. While the Braves pitching
is the finest in the game their
" offense has been equal to the task
averaging close to seven runs a
game, tops in the league.
*Team by Team Analysis*
East: Atlanta: Who said the
ball is juiced? Atlanta team ERA
is 2.25. Where is Mr. Gant?
Atlanta executives are smiling
thanks to rookie LF Ryan
Klesko’s .395 average, five
dingers and 13 RBI’s. Happy job
hunting Ron!
N.Y. Mets: How are we in sec-
ond? Fans should thank Trader
Jack for stealing the well rounded
Jose Vizcaino for perennial loser,
Anthony Young.
Philadelphia: S.0.S.! Where is
Terry Mullholland? The Phillies
staff has given up 15 gopher balls
Florida: Getting better every day
thanks to promising prospects.
Big Surprise, Charlie Hough’s
ERA is under three for the first
time in 20 years.
Montreal: Superior talent not
panning out. How can a lineup
with so many speedsters have a
total of only 8 stolen bases? Pedro
“The Midget” Martinez leads the
league in strikouts with 26 K’s.
Central: Cincinnati: Despite
the loss of P Rob Dibble, the
bullpen has been overpowering.
Team defense has been sharp
thanks to a healthy Barry Larkin.
St. Louis: Will former met Gregg
Jefferies ever shed his bad rep?
The Cards enjoy every minute of
this .400 hitting machine.
Houston: Best staff in the divi-
sion needs more production out of
the catching position. Hip hip
hurray for P Doug Drabek who
has regained his All-Star form.
Pittsburgh: Poor manager Jim
Leyland. In a small market where
thay have to ship off their most
expensive players, Leyland has
made the most out of a collection
of Triple A performers.
Chicago: What a surprise,
Anthony Young is win-less in the
windy-city. Management is still
feeling the sting of letting two-
time Cy Young winner, Greg
Maddux go to the pitching rich
N.L. Beat: Excitement on the diamond
Braves.
West: San Francisco: A sub-
stantial amount of character and
guts was lost to the Texas
Rangers via Will Clark. Manager
Dusty Baker is still pinching him-
self thanking the Lord that
Atlanta is not in his division any-
more.
Colorado: Blame the juiceball
theory on the high altitude slug-
gers in the Rockies. Ellis Burks,
Dante Bichette and the “Big Cat”
Andres Galarraga have combined
for 16 taters and 43 RBI’s.
(Colorado as a team has com-
bined for 17 homers and 65
RBI’s).
Los Angeles: So far the double
play tandem of Delino Deschields
and Jose Offerman would strike-
out in Tee-Ball league. Both. are
batting well below the Mendoza
.200. level. Rookie Darren
Dreifort has stifled competition,
while rookie Ho Chen Parks was
shelled in his appearances.
San Diego: They stink like usual.
Why don’t they move to a place
where they would draw a crowd
over 5,000; try Hades. It’s just a
matter of time before P Andy
Benes goes to one of the high
roller teams. (Look for Toronto to
win the Benes sweepstakes while
the Yankees counter by trading
for Houston’s Pete Harnisch).

Great Danes’ hitters continue to pumme.
By AARON GREENBERG
Associate Sports Editor
The University at Albany baseball team
won two doubleheaders at home to put
‘their record at 8-6, winners of five
straight. Facing Skidmore and Norwich,
the Danes revived offense continued to
pound away at pitchers in comebacks that
defended Albany’s perfect record at home
(7-0).
The April 20 games against Skidmore
(4-13) were held at Albany, due to the
condition of Skidmore’s field. Albany hit
first, playing as the road team. Howie
Rosenkrantz scored the first run when he
scampered home on a wild pitch in the
first inning. The Danes started Roger
Walters (2-2), who allowed two runs in
the bottom of the first on a two-out dou-
ble. He allowed another run in the second
on a single, but got out of a bases loaded,
one out situation. Walters clamped down
on the Thoroughbreds, scattering a hand-
ful of hits over the next few innings.
In the sixth inning, Albany tied the
game on a mammoth home run by right-
fielder Leo Garcia. The ball went about
400 feet to left centerfield.
The game went into extra-innings, tied
at three. Garcia again showed his hitting
capability in the eighth with another two-
run home run to leftfield.
Kevin Mahone came in to get the final
out, the credit for the win going to
Walters. In 7 2/3, he surrendered three
runs on eight hits, striking out four. The
batters supported him with five runs, four
runs batted in on Garcia’s three hits.
Leon Feingold struck out six in the first
three innings, overpowering Skidmore’s
hitters before a sloppy fourth inning saw
him removed for Phillip Kurchack, who
put out the fire. Albany had scored three
runs by that time, two in the fourth, when
freshman shortstop Joshua Finn singled.
Down 4-3, Albany exploded in the fifth
for seven runs. After a leadoff single, five
walks preceded a sacrifice fly by Finn.
Leftfielder Martin Geegan reached on an
error and Rosenkrantz pounded a triple
against the rightfield wall. Garcia singled
in the final run of the inning. The Danes
added an insurance run when shortstop
Josh Grauer doubled in a man in the sixth.
The final score was 11-6. Kurchack
was credited with the win, having gone
three innings without allowing a hit.
“We showed good spirit, we were able
to come back in both games,” Walters
said, citing the pitching and defense as the
strengths.
William Jarvela (3-2) continued his
outstanding season against Norwich (7-8)
on April 21. Pitching in the first game, he
surrendered a run in the second inning on
a sacrifice fly. He did not allow another
hit until the seventh inning.
Albany broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth on
back to back doubles by third baseman
Matt Curley and catcher Greg Marro.
Leftfielder Dan Heslin led off the fifth
inning with a home run to left centerfield.
Two singles and two fly balls followed,
scoring Rosenkrantz. Rosenkrantz dou-
bled to right in the sixth, scoring Marro
for the games final run. Albany won 5-1.
Jarvela closed the game, limiting
Norwich to one run on four hits, striking
out five. The Danes put together five runs
on eleven hits.
“Once I found my control and settled
down,” Jarvela said, he found success.
“They were looking fastball, so I threw
changeups.”
Keith Walsh pitched the second game.
He was charged with four of the third
inning’s five runs. Reliever Rich Gordon
finished the inning, with Mahone taking
over afterwards. Mahone shut down the
Cadets over his three innings, allowing
the Danes a chance to come back.
Geagan drove in designated hitter
David Sottile with a ground out. Marro
scored on a wild pitch. In the sixth, the
big blow came. With two runners on,
Rosenkrantz tripled to deep right center-
field, tying the game at five. Second base-
man Rich Apiscopa drove the ball to the
centerfield wall. A walk and a series of
singles off the relief pitchers brought the
tally to 10-5.
“When the pitching didn’t come Sunday, the Danes take their show on
through, the hitting came in. That’s a_ the road to play a doubleheader at
complete team,” coach Ed Zaloom said. Oneonta.

Men’s lacrosse slays the Red Dragons of Oneonta
By ErIc DAGNALL
Managing Editor
A hard fought battle concluded with an
Albany victory in Tuesday’s men’s
lacrosse game. The Danes (4-4) held off
Oneonta State (5—4) for a S4 victory.
It seemed like deja vu for the Danes
considering how they had lost against RPI
two weeks ago. On top 5-1 going into the
final quarter, the Danes defense collapsed
against the surging Red Dragons. Junior
goalie David Crone and the Dane defense
held tough for the final five minutes of the
game.
After a scoreless first, the offenses
came out gunning in the second quarter.
Oneonta scored first when midfielder
Chris Winslow scored unassisted 40 sec-
onds into the second. The Dane’s offense
was stifled numerous times inside
Oneonta’s box. The Red Dragon’s aggres-
sive defense held Albany shotless for
almost five minutes. However, in the final
eight minutes of the half the Danes erupt-
ed.
With 7:19 left, senior attacker Kurt
Randall fought his way inside for a shot.
Red Dragon goalie Michael Russo, how-
ever, came up with the save. Twenty sec-
onds later Randall whipped a beautiful
pass to a wide open sophomore Mike
Angel. One-on-one with the goalie,
Angel had a great chance to put Albany
on the board. However, Russo won the
battle by blocking the shot and clearing.
With 4:56 remaining in the half, Albany
tied the score. Angel’s pass to junior mid-
fielder Jason Kennedy was easily put by
Russo. Albany’s offense was relentless.
Eighteen seconds later Kennedy lobbed a
pass to an open Nils Huagen in front of

the net. But, the ball went off the top of
Huagen’s stick foiling another scoring
chance.
Huagen wouldn’t be denied later
though. Three feet in front of the goal
Huagen received a pass from junior Peter
White. Huagen didn’t waste his opportu-
nity putting it past Russo for an easy
mscore. The goal put
Albany ahead for good,
2-1.

4 Randall. Randall moved
in on the left side of the
Oneonta goal. He fought
off three Red Dragon
defensemen and
whipped a shot past
Russo for the score.
In the second half,
Albany kept up the
offensive pressure. At

| Kauftheil notched his
second goal of the game
when his shot whipped

Mike Kittner assisted on the play.
It was all Oneonta in the fourth quarter.
Winslow scored his second goal of the
game with 10:13 left. At the 6:29 mark,
Oneonta co-captain Joe Ortleib picked up
the loose ball and fired a shot by the slow
reacting Albany defense. Red Dragon
George Brancaccio’s unassisted goal with
4:51 remaining brought Oneonta within
one, 5—4, but Albany’s defense stepped it
up and held on for the victory.
Overall, the Albany offense had 28
shots. Oneonta had 27. Both goalies had
outstanding games. The Dane’s Crone had
18 saves compared to 15 for Russo.
Last Saturday, the Danes dominated
Keuka College. Albany had no problem
racking up the goals crushing previously
undefeated Keuka 15-9.
Albany junior Kevin Kuczma had a
hat-trick in the victory. Randall led Dane
scorers with five points (1 goal, 4 assists).
Other top scorers for Albany were Angel
with three points (2 goals, 1 assist) and
senior Dwight Campbell also with three
points (2 goals, 1 assist).
Next up for the Danes is a road game
against Springfield, tomorrow at 1 p.m.
Albany returns home Wednesday when
they face Capital District rival Union

pages of the ASP - see page 23
to address by President H. Patrick
Swygert are vital to the move.
“We at the Athletic Department
feel we have a plan that satisfies the
same three criteria that passed in
1990,” Richards said.
Criterion I specifically states
admission standards be overseen by
faculty, who would also be oversee-
ing the academic progress of the ath-
letes.
“We will not looking to bring in
students who won’t meet the academ-
ic standards of the university,”
Richards said of the move to Division
II. “Admissions standards won’t
] change...we don’t make admission
| decisions.”
“Our athletic program should be
f the same quality as our academic
| program,” Dr. Richard Hall, chair of
| the IAB, said. “Right now, I think
| we have a Division I academic pro-
ram.”
In fact, National Collegiate
| Athletic Conference statistics show
jthat on average, student athletes
jhave a higher graduation rate than
jthe general student body. Statistics
& have 54% of the general student
4 body graduating in four years while
7 student athletes have a 56% rate.
mw Division III statistics are not calcu-
be lated.
Criterion II deals with the budget
analysis. UAlbany budgets 1.6 mil-
1993-94 year. The SUNY Board of
Trustees have stated that this amount
would not increase to accommodate
Division II athletics.
Richards has said repeatedly that
all money exceeding the budget
would come from boosters, alumni,
sponsors, and ticket sales.
“Because we won’t receive more
funds, we have to go out and raise the
money,” Richards said.
Gender equity in the athletic pro-
gram is dealt with in Criterion III.
“Gender equity is the law of the
land,” Richards said. Richards’ report
states “The NCAA asserts the value
of equitable participation and treat-
ment of men and women in intercol-
legiate athletics through its structure,
programs, legislation, and policies.”
Richards has worked hard in making
gender equity a reality.
“We are making sure that all our
teams get the same amount of
money,” Richards-said. “We are equi-
table in quality, equipment, facilities
and travel.”
Of the utmost importance is “get-
ting women to participate in sports,”
Richards said.
Though Division I looms in the
future, Richards is not jumping the
gun. He wishes to establish Albany as
a Division II school before making
