At the end of every tournament the public address an

for the Albany State basketball team.
Following the Danes game against Ithaca Sunday for
the championship of the Ithaca College Tip Off Tourni
ment, the captain of the losing team was asked to accept
the second place trophy, John Dieckelman rose from the
bench,
“I did it as a joke. 1 just got so used to accepting the st

Albany co-captain,

Potsdam and Hamilton are the cream of the crop in the
state right now.”*
The Danes performance in their next four games will
tell how farthey will rise, Albany will host their two main
rivals for the SUNYAG-East crown this week, as Oneonta

ty Gym, Following a 17 day layoff, the Danes will be back
in action in the Great Dane Classic. Albany will compete
against highly regarded Hamilton, Scranton and St.
Lawrence,
Since their triple-overtime loss to Union the Danes have |
been unstoppable, rolling to four consecutive victories by
‘an average margin of over 21 points. Despite their patient
ball contro! offense, Albany has averaged over 85 points
per game durng that stretch and has had a 20 point scorer
in three of the four games.
The last four games have seen the return of Dieckelman
to last year's ECAC All-Star team form, and the
emergence of Gatto as an all-around force on the court.
After both suffered through a disappointing performance
in the Capital District Tournament, the two senior co-
captains have sparked the team on their current steak, |
During the first half of Saturday's Middlebury game,
Dieckelman was the dominating force, pouring in 12
points, grabbing nine rebounds and blocking four shots,
Gatto has averaged almost 19 points over the last three
games including a career high 23 against Ithaca. j
A pleasant surprise for Sauers has been the perfor-
mance of his bench, a question mark before the season.
Greg Hart, Rich Hay and Luke Jamison have made key
contributions to the Danes winning effort.

Coyne said
According to President Vincent O'Leary,
a temporary site could not be found for the

The team and the county needed confir-

State Legislature in order for any agreement
between the school and the county to be
finalized, according to O'Leary.
“The matter was under review. There
were a lot of questions that had to be

that’s one thing the county did not have
The SUNY system and the state are slow

O'Leary said. ‘Our attempts to find an in-

“The SUNY Board of Trustees and people
at the state level have not been able to see fit
for a professional team on campus,"” Coyne
said,
“There has never been an activity that
collects a ‘gate’ by a professional team on a

Central Council passed a resolution 13-12
ng for the repeal of a new U. S. law
which denies financial aid to students not
registered for the draft
The new U.S, law ‘will have a dispropor-
tionate impact on economically disadvan:
taged males,"” stated Council's resolution,
introduced by the Student Action Commit-
tee, The resolution does not intend "to ad-
dress the issue of the legality of the draft.’*
The law, called the Solomon Amend:

Sept. 8, 1982. [1 is expected 10 go into ef

Of inconveniences and damages," accor-
ding (0 SA Attorney Mark Mishler, because
they were unaware of any holds, ‘*Then it

Mishler said that he had not seen a copy
Of the Senate measure and did not know if
it addressed “'some of the concerns he
had.
SA_ president also
Mike Corso, who
serves on the Senate Executive Committee,
sald that most offices do notify students,
but “some smaller ones don't," although
he did not know exactly which.
Reaction at university offices to the new
rule was mixed. Registrar Thomas O'Brien,
who handles a relatively small number of
holds each month, said, “We think it's @
great idea, Last spring O'Brien and Corso
devised a system where all university holds
would be posted by student numbers, to
allow students to straighten out their ac-
cournts before pre-registration, This fall the
numbers were on view at the library,
C.U.E,, the Campus Center information
desk and the post office, according to Cor-
50.
At the Office of Student Accounts, the
notification rule is not being as warmly
received, Robert DeVoe, assistant director
for delinquent accounts, said {t could mean
‘increased mailing cosis."’ Calling the
number of delinquent accounts *tremen-
dous,’” DeVoe acknowledged that while the
rule would mean more paperwork for his
office, “1 do feel that it has been an in-
convenience in the past,"” DeVoe would not
say (o what extent Student Accounts tries fo
nform students of a possible hold.
‘One obstacle that confronts DeVoe
and his counterparts and may hinder the

The library has students fill out cards the
first time they take out books each year, in
order to update their listings, but many
other offices may not have as current ad-
dresses, including the Traffic Division, the
Gym, the Student Accounts office and the
office of Residential Life, said Corso,
“The offices generally have a system that
works in timely fashion," said O'Brien, But
there is the other side of the coin, “We need
students to tell us where they are. When
does a student feel obligated to change his
address? When they don't get what they
want,"" he said, Sometimes the lack of a
definite address can lead to extreme
measures — O'Brien said that he had to
contact a student and mailed the same letter
to five addresses, “Four of them came
back. But those are dire straits,'* he said,
The Senate measure did not deal with
what proper notification something
Which DeVoe felt could be a problem, But
not letting students know of a hold, Mishler
contended, “is a violation of due process.""
Corso said he did not think addresses
should be a major problem if students gave
their current rather than home addresses
and if offices checked the student directory,
which he sald contained the most upsto-
date information, q

Professor of the Albany State
Psychology department, O'Brien,
Who has done research in test anxie-
during any testing situation, “There
are some people who are specifical-
ly test anxious,"” he explained.
“Some anxiety in testing situa

anxiety reaches too high of a level it
can interfere with a student’s per
formance,” O'Brien said. "The
Way it interferes is that it leads to a
decrease in attention to the task."

In promoting his idea on pro-
gressive relaxation techniques,
Miller described how relaxing one's
lightened muscles and slowing
down the heartbeat can help to
lower the stress level in a testing
siiuation, "One thing I would sug-
gest is before you pick up your pen,
close your eyes and breath deeply
and slowly and try to relax your
muscles,” said Miller.

“Learning to improve study
habits can help to reduce one's test
anxiety," O’Brien concluded,
Oddly enough, students can ac:
tually use their anxiety as a plus.
“More recenily there has been
evidence that some people can use
anxiety as an increased motivater,'”

turned van’s steering wheel Norman Mayer insisted
that there was half a ton of dynamite in the truck
waiting to be exploded.
The Washington Memorial was safe, however. As they
searched the van while Mayer died all the police found was
his clothing and some detonators — with nothing to
detonate. The 66-year-old man died trying to make a point
about nuclear weapons,
Was he a crazy man, bent on terror and killing? It
doesn't seem so. He wasn't armed with anything other than
a radio-control box he claimed would set off the explosives.
According to one of the people stuck in the Washington
Monument for part of the day Mayer wasn't even aware of
the people in the monument—that the early media reports
sensationally described as ‘'hostages"” — until they walked
out of the building five hours after the “siege” began
Wednesday morning.
It’s a little late for Norman Mayer, though. He was shot
in the head by a police sharpshooter when he tried to drive
away from the monument. Mayer must have known there
was little chance he would live through his whole plan,
whatever that was. He insisted that he had explosives in the
van, even alter he lay dying in the van
The biggest pity is that Mayer's hopes for publicity will
be twisted against the peace movement, The right ‘ing has
already pushed the myth that the movement is some tool of
the Soviets; they may now strengthen their myths by adding
crazies to its numbers

Coaligning responsibility
Coalition politics is tricky business in any progressive
community. Trying (0 forge alliances between different left
and feminist groups with the hopes of producing a unitied
front will inevitably cause conflicts because of the different
perspectives inherent in the groups, These differences can
be dealt with openly with all groups talking and trying to
reach a common ground. Or, the differences can be ig
nored, the group's wishes not being respected, tension
mounting and the possibility of truly forming any long
fasting (or even semi-permanent) community coalition tall
ing by the wayside.

from a letter some concerned women from the women's
groups put together in response to the controversy which
surrounded the Wallflower Order's appearance in Albany
The letter not only deals with community politics but anti-

The sequence of events was: the Wallflower Order con-
acted the Centeal American Solidarity Alliance (CASA)
and asked them (0 sponsor a performance. Main co:
sponsorship was spread between CASA, the Albany
Feminist Forum and SUNY Feminist Alliance; additional
sponsors were the Women's Center and This River of
Women Theatre Co. A CASA representative signed the
contract, About 3 weeks before the performance, it was
discovered by women in this community that the
Wallflower Order had dedicated previous performances to

tically over, the cold slap of confrontation will once again hit
many of us. As we reflect over the past year, and analyze
what has happened to our lives, we may agonize or rejoice at the
events that have shaped our days, There have been a many
tragedies, we lost great heroes and world leaders, Anwar Sadat,
John Belushi, Art Pepper, James Honeyman-Scott, and more
recently, Brezhnev, Marty Feldman, There has been birth in hope
| of the future; Prince William, of course, It seems the tragedies
j might have outweighed the rejoicing a bit, the fiasco in the
Falklands, the consistent crisis in the Mid-East, the sky-high
economy, the tylenol terror, draft registration, the ever-present
apocalyse, and the tragedy of both Ronald and Nancy Reagan
have marred the more pleasant events that have taken place over
the year (which at this time seem overwhelmingly difficult to list,
much less provide some sembalence of balance)
The list of absurdities is an interesting one, in that category, the
Sun Myung Moon marriages have to take first place, with Hinckley
going to St. Elizabeth's coming in a close second. Then there was
the Haig/Schultz charmer. And I'm still not sure which is more ab-
surd yet; Jack Henry Abbott being in jall or out,
Pushing aside world events for a moment, personal tragedies
and absurdities always seem to put a dent in things, for some
reason. These events seem to effect us just as much, if not more
80, than these world-wide happenings that often seem far away.
Our own personal pain, the disparities of living, the total absence of
any objective truths affect us every day, in everything that we do.
While these separate pains effect us all differently, there fs still an
undercurrent of alienation that binds these feelings together. In this
ultra-modern, technological era we are emmersed in, we have
forgotten how to be vulnerable, how to grab somebody's hand,
how to share, With all the bullshit happening every day, if we try a
little bit, we just might be able to find a new friend, or realize we tru-
ly can trust someone, or even fall in love. It can happen, idealism
doesn't have to be replaced by computerized robots.
There have been some memorable events to occur this year, in
this final issue of Aspects , we offer you different articles to look at,
from Hubert's political perspective to Craig's in-depth musical

similar Ideals migrated to Albany. The in-
flux of video games was rampant. Aside
from maze video games like herself and her

There were Free-fight games such as

RULES OF THE ART
some of
A spects hopes the following rules will help alleviat
the controversies concerning video decorum
1-Don't touch a player while he's playing. An accident
bump by a careless observer can ruin a record breaking game. 8:
careful
2-Play with your head, not over it. Never go into debt
because of video obsession. A healthy alternative is to get a job at
O'Heany’s, then spend all your tips on Turbo
3-Always offer to play doubles with an awaiting
player. This enables players to discuss individual strategies. Also a
good way to make friends.
4-Never play doubles after jogging. This ploy gives
jogger an unfair advantage
5-Don't mistreat video games. Reparation for destro’
machines can cost as much as $3,000, That's the equivalent of
months worth of Pacman
6-Don't create distractions in arcade. The advice of [
Hutton will not benefit a Pacman player so keep it to yourself
7-Don't covet thy friends score. If your friends initia
$ always appear higher than your on the High Score List don't ge’
mad; get even!
Don't lie about your high scores, Exaggeration is allow
ed, however.
9-Don't laugh at other player’ s snob:
Se ao ease player's folly. Nobody likes sno!
10-Never “back seat drive.” Advice while playing only con
fuses the player, For some of us expert players this rule is the most
difficult to obey.

982 marked the fourteenth year of the second feminist movement, if you date

tnarks the beginning of an organized feminist movement, So this means that if you're a
“typical” student, aged 18 to 22, the movement has been around for over a third of your
life. One third. And In every one of those fourteen years there have been battles, big and
small, over laws, social customs, and all aspects of women's lives. Every year has brought
not only new struggles, but always battles to retain hard-won victories which are constant
ly threatened.

writing a review of the year In sports. After all, the Na-
tional Football Leaugue teams are in preparation for
only their sixth week of games, so of course It must be October.
But the calendar indicates that it 's mid-December. Indeed,
1982 has been quite an interesting year.
Marc Haspel with Marc Schwarz
“The year began as have all years since 1967 with the Super
Bowl. The championship game pitted. two teams agalnst one
another which at the beginning of the season had figured to be
also-rans, But as the season progressed the Cincinatti Bengals
and the San Francisco 49ers exhibited a surprising ability to win
ball games,
Each team was led by an outstanding quarterback who had a
knack for making the headlines. After a long career as a
Bengal, Ken Anderson had earned the respect of the other
clubs in the leaugue, but could never shake the tab of not being
able to quarterback a winner, During the season, his precision
passing tore up secondaries around the AFC and his team roll-
jed up victory after victory. His Super Bowl counterpart was
‘even more of an interesting character. A blond-halred thrower
whose last name gave a certain western state more publicity
S ‘omehow {t just doesn't feel like the proper time to be
that it had received in the last century, Joe Montana captured
the nation’s fancy much the same way that Joe Namath had
done a dozen years before, His smile was plastered on the
covers of many national publications as part of tthe annual pre-
Super Bowl hype.
But there was nothing fancy about the game itself. It was a
tremendous game between two clubs who had never been to
the title game before and were determined to leave Pontiac,
Michigan, the Super Bowl site, with the treasured throphy in
hand, But only one team could, and in 1982 that was the
49ers, Many feel it was one of the finest Super Bowls (which
are usually more dull than super) ever to be played, The final
score was 26-21 i
While it was the year of the pass in professional football, one
fateful pass decided a national championship in college basket-
ball, Poor Freddy Brown crossed center court in New Orleans
‘and literally threw away Georgetown's quest for an NCAA title.
‘James Worthy, the recipient of the errant pass, led Dean Smith
and the Tar Heels of North Carolina with some incredible
moves to the hoop and helped Smith win his first crown in
several trips to the tournament
As the ice of one of this nation’s coldest winters began to
thaw, baseball fans looked forward to thelr first complete
season In two years, And as usual, when opening day arrived
‘during the first week of April, the big stadiums all over the north
were packed, Not with people however, but with snow. A freak
snow storm had blanketed a good portion of the north, delay-
ing the season openers. In fact, it took the Yankees a whole
week to get their field ready for an opening day twinbill which
|they lost anyway to the Chicago White Sox.
Yankee fans had to tolerate a lot of losing in 1982. After be-
ing grossly dissatisfied with his team's performance in the
lorld Series the previous season against the Dodgers, Boss
George Steinbrenner proceeded to dismantle his team by deal-
ing numerous trades and dismissing several managers. New

But most notable of all his moves was the decision to let Reggle
Hackson sign a multi-year pact with Gene Autry’s California
Angels during the off-season. Jackson had a banner year for
the west coast club, leading them to the playoffs while the
{Yankees sank to a dismal fifth place in the American League
East.
‘Across town, the Mets had even less luck with their big catch
bof the off-season, George Foster, After years of abstinance, the
‘Mets went for broke when they signed the perennial slugger to
f five-year multimillion dollar contract after his rights became
lavailable to them following a much ballyhooed trade between
the Mets and the soon-to-be-lonely Reds, But Foster proved to
@ the biggest bomb since Death Wish Il. What had originally
lappeared to be a season full of promise for the Mets became
cone of the club's biggest disasters.
| But for other teams around the league, 1982 proved to be
quite fruitful, The Milwaukee Brewers, led by the league's Most
|Valuable Player, Robin Yount, emerged as one of baseball's
all-time strongest offensive teams, Surviving a late season run
by the Baltimore Orioles, the Brewers, behind the crafty pit-
ching of veteran Don Sutton edged the Angels in five games

New York Islander fans delighted in their team’s third straight
Stanley Cup championship, a feat accomplished by no other
‘American team in the history of the National Hockey League.
The Islanders avoided catastrophe in the first round of the
playoffs by just barely edging the Pittsburgh Penguins in over-
time of their five-game series.
In the ensuing playoff series, the Islanders faced off with the
New York Rangers, winners of their opening series with the
physical Philadelphia Fivers, It was the fourth time that the two
area rivals met in the playoff competition. An initial Ranger vic
tory raised the hopes of championship-starved Garden fans,
but the Islanders lowered the boom by eliminating the boys
from Manhatten in six games.
The Islanders were then matched in an obvious mismatch
with the Campbell conference representative, Vancouver
Canucks. Surprisingly, the Canucks gave the Long Island team

could be expected of him, including leading the Sixers to a
dramatic and stunning blow out in the seventh game of the
semifinals over the Boston Celtics in the Boston Garden

It was a year of greatness and tragedy for professional box:

pion Larry Holmes and number one contender Gerry Cooney,
from Huntington, Long Island finally took place. It was a fight
that did not live up to its billing as Holmes thoroughly outclass
ed his opponent
Homes' latest defense of the title which he has held since
1978 occured in a relatively empty Astrodome, The only
notable gain to surface from Homes’ 15:round destruction of

Finally, the NFL opened its 1982 campaign shrouded by the
threat of a players strike. As the teams made their way through
ason, management and labor negotiations headlined the
sports pages, Eventually after two weeks of regular season
games had been completed, the season was interrupted by the

Americans had to adjust to an autumn without their favorite

rently with football helped to ease the pain, Still, when the
NFLPA decided to resume the season despite not having
ratified a new contract plnposal, most fans were happy to
welcome them back,
Thus 1982 was more than just a typical year in sports, There
was drama, excitement and battles on (and unfortunately, off)
the field. Certainly, in that respect 1982 was truly
memorable [a

Ethnocentrism, or the consciousness of

sense of pride and power, Is on of the
strongest of human sentiments. The nature
of an ingroup or an ethnic community is
defined by the culture of which the group is
apart. The American culture has defined a
number of ethnic groups, who represent
religious, national or a combination of
religious and national groupings. All of
these groups have intense pride in their

about bigotry, He decries the “hatred of men’? as.a group
by feminists, And yet here he is, lumping feminists together
Into one group of women Who hate men, who regard them
With “animosity, suspicion and condescension." Is this not
another form of bigotry? Mr, Simon sounds like a very

Map oversight
To the Editor:
The article in Tuesday's ASP (December 7) about the
pro-PLO speaker on campus (Dr, Khalil Natikieti) was only
half as interesting as the map of the Middle East accompa:
ying the article
If one examines the map closely, you notice that all states
in the region are labelled except one} Isracl, There was no
by-line underneath the picture explaining why such a
peculiar map of the Middle East appeared in the article, or
Wwho was responsible for drafting the map, am inclined to
believe the ASP intended (0 print this map, overlooking a
“minor” detail
This “oversight” by the ASP raises a critical question:
How long will it take for pro-PLO/anti-Isracl supporter
such as Dr. Nakleh, the Wallflower Order, (or for that mat
ter the ASP?) to recognize that the state of Israel iy a
political reality in the Middle east?

Healthy questions
fo the Editor:
Among the several Intangible factors affecting the ability
of students at SUNYA to achieve the elusive college degree,
mne factor rarely considered but highly regarded fs the
health of students, It would be comforting to believe that
the Student Health Service on campus is at the least ade-
quate or at the most effective in maintaining the good
health of students, Unfortunately, 1 highly doubt that 1
could consider the services effective, Actually, bused upon
Separate oecurances 1 deem it negligent,
When one views the effectiveness of the “ship'em-oute
patient’ policy, you can't help but feel slightly uneomfor-
lable when considering whether or not you are in good
hands, Tam not one to doubt the ability or knowledge of a
medical doctor, but thelr display of adequate medical care
is unresponsive. On more thin one situation brought to my.
atiention, the Health Service physicians were derelict in
diagnosing illness and passed symptoms off ay student
“nerves!” when In one case it was the bexlning symptoms of
Infectious mononucleosis and in another a life-threatening,

SUNYA athletic
program could
be upgraded
to Division |
By Mark Schwarz
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
A preliminary proposal by a special
SUNY task force could lead to an
upgrading of the SUNY athletic program
from Divison III to Division 1.
The proposal calls for the institution of a
mandatory student athletic fee to support
the sports program and would remove the
control of athletics funding from the stu-
dent government into the hands of an
Athletic Board of Control appointed by
each campus president
The Special Task Force on the Quality of
Student Life also proposed that state
schools be allowed t0 give athletic grants in
aid, provided no state funds were involved.
This would reverse a long standing SUNY
policy
The proposals of the task force meeting
were leaked to the Buffalo Evening News
on January 25 by an anonymous source,
SASU Vice President and task force
member Scoit Wexler confirmed the
source's reports as being “very, very ac
curate,”
The proposals were approved by the 27
member task force and a written report is
being drafted, according to Wexler. “The
