More students wanted in presidential selection

By John Jackson
and Raina Wilson

A petiton is currently
circulating on the SUNYA
campus to adjust the selection
process for the replacement of
University President Vincent
O'Leary.

Last week, University
Council chairperson Alan Iselin
handed out a proposed itinerary
for the candidates’ visits to the
campus. According to the
present plan, the students who
will meet with the candidates
are Nadya Lawson, Student
Association President Fermin-
Espinosa, and Central Council
Vice-Chair Steven Rhoads.

University President have been
narrowed down to four
prospective candidates by the
University Council Screening
committee. These four
candidates will be coming to the
SUNYA campus over the next
few weeks to meet with deans,
vice presidents, and faculty
block.

Lawson, Espinosa, and
Rhoads will be part of a group of
21 people on the Presidential
Selection Advisory committee,
which will have a two hour
meeting during the day of each
candidate's visit.

Upon seeing the proposed
itinerary of the candidates,
Lawson said she attempted to
speak to Iselin in order to voice
her concern over what she
viewed as inadequate
representation of students in the

In the aftermath of a melee between members of two
fraternities that erupted in the Campus Center Ballroom
during a party attended by more than 300 people late
Saturday night, members of the organizations have
vowed to investigate the incident and peacefully settle
their differences.

The fight, between members of the Phi Beta Sigma
fraternity and pledges of Omega Psi Phi, occurred
around 1:30 a.m. during a party hosted by Phi Beta
Sigma, causing the end of the party and the subsequent
cancellation of a stepshow.

Also involved in the fracas was Student Association

Pounds of cold cuts, stolen from the State Quad cafeteria, were
found scattered all over Whitman Hall’s second floor lounge.

Vandals broke into University Auxiliary Services (UAS) early
Sunday morning by removing the hinges from the door leading to the
kitchen, 'according to Ronnie Clough, Director of Food Services.

Clough said at least eight to 10 pounds of ham, turkey and bologna
were taken.

Matthew Burns, the resident director of Whitman Hall, said the deli
items were strewn all over the floor between 3 and 5 am.

Many residents of Whitman Hall said they were surprised the next!
morning to see the unusual decorations in their hall.

“Tt looked like a roadkill,” sophomore Steven Siegel said. “By the’
lend of Sunday afternoon, the lounge started to smell like the trash
bins downstairs.”

The student community in the hall had to clean up, Bums said.
Someone had to clean or else it (the deli) would decompose.”

“Jt was a lot of bologna... the edges were starting to curl up by the
time it was cleaned,” Burns said.

Freshman resident Cary Levy said, “Imagine what UAS deli would
smell like lying out overnight without being refrigerated.”

Another resident said that when she woke up, the meat was all over,
land she stepped on bread and dried up salami.”

She said the cold cuts were also “down the stairs- kind of like a
trail- starting from the mailboxes, up the stairs and into the lounges
jon the second floor.”

The RA also said pieces of ham, bologna and a couple if slices of
Swiss were discovered in his suite, but that the incident was just a
“vandalistic thing.” Frank Cooper, unit manager in the State Quad
cafeteria said he did not know the motive for the break in, but that

maybe it was “hungry students.”

my temper,” Espinosa said on Sunday night. “I did try to
restrain myself, but there are times when your anxiety
level is so high you can’t think rationally.”

According to Espinosa, the fight started as an isolated
incident in the Ballroom between a member of his
organization and the Omega pledges before
mushrooming into separate pushing and shoving
incidents which spilled into the Campus Center lobby
and onto the Podium. Espinosa added that he was “very
disgusted and upset that [the incident] happened,” and

Task force offers solution to rowdiness

By Morgan Lyle
SENIOR EDITOR

A task force charged with
responding to Albany residents’
complaints of large, noisy off-
campus parties was expected to
submit its final report to
SUNYA President Vincent
O’Leary and Albany Mayor
Thomas M. Whalen III
yesterday or today.

Recommendations made by
the Task Force on University
and Community Relations
include providing fraternity and
sorority housing on campus.
That proposal was termed a
“very strong recommendation”
by SUNYA Vice President for
Student Affairs Mitchel
Livingston.

The city of Albany is also
planning to crack down on
violations of the city’s building
codes, including the “grouper
law” which says no more than
three unrelated people may
share an apartment, according to
a published report.

Livingston said SUNYA will
require landlords to present
proof that their buildings are in

compliance with the building
codes before they can advertise
vacancies with campus housing
agencies.

But he said the University
would encourage cooperation
rather than stepping up
enforcement of rules, and that
since the task force has been at
work, he has seen “very positive
signals” from the off-campus
student population. At least two
different Greek organizations
have worked through his office
to reach an understanding with
their neighbors, he said.

“My concern primarily is not
one of rules and regulations. My
concern is that people have a
sense of responsibility, if not
respect... My basic approach is to
appeal to (student residents’)
sense of decency,” Livingston
said.

Albany police have said
complaints from city residents
about student parties with
hundreds of guests have been far
more numerous this year than in
the past. The task force was
formed by O’Leary in November
at Whalen’s behest, and includes

city police, fire and building
officials, representatives of
neighborhood associations,
SUNYA officials and students.

The complaints have
apparently been dwindling in
recent weeks, Livingston said.
He said the report noted that
periods of disruptive parties are
“kind of seasonal in nature “ and
are “directly related” to
fraternity and sorority rush
seasons. But that problem may»
be ameliorated by the
Interfraternity Council’s recent
decision that alcohol would be
banned at future rush events,”
Livingston said.

Captain is defended

Anchorage, Alaska
(AP) Joseph Hazelwood had set up a
“very nice maneuver” and should not be
faulted for leaving the bridge of the
Exxon Valdez before the tanker went
aground, a veteran captain said.

In testimony for the defense Friday,
Shiras Walker of Jacksonville, Fla., said
he would have acted much as Hazelwood
did on the day of the nation’s worst oil
spill. Hazelwood did no wrong in leaving
the ship in the hands of the third mate
after giving instructions to avoid channel
ice, Walker said.

“Tt was a very gentle turn...He was

setting himself up for a very nice
maneuver around the ice,” said Walker,
“He was never putting his vessel in grave

Sex in campus bathrooms topic of controversy

By Pete LaMassa
ASSOCIATE ASPECTS EDITOR

Despite repeated attempts by
Physical Plant and the University
Police Department to curtail the
dangerous, anonymous sex and
expensive vandalism that has
been occurring in the men’s
campus restrooms, the illicit
activities continue.

The vandalism includes “glory
holes”, spaces punched through
the stall walls for alleged use in
homosexual acts, and graffiti that
ranges from sexual solicitations
to anti-homosexual slurs.

Mitchel Livingston, vice
president of Student Affairs,
said that the University is aware
of the problem. “We have to
discreetly address the problem,
but since we are in an
educational environment, we
also have to educate as well.” He
said that the dilemma lies in how
the SUNYA achieves a balance

between education and
discretion.
“We've been repairing

vandalism routinely in the
bathrooms for a time now,”
Physical Plant Director Dennis
Stevens said. “It’s very hard to
keep up with it. We’ve found
that we are making repairs one
week, and finding the very same
problems days later.” He added
that his department has spent
thousands of dollars in labor and
materials.

Last year, Physical Plant, the
department in charge of campus
maintenance, removed the doors
from stalls in the lecture center
men’s rooms, Stevens said. He
said it eased the problem in
that area, and he has considered
doing it at other campus
locations, but “that’s a choice of
last resort,” he said.

From a legal standpoint, John
Henighan of UPD reports that he
has heard of a number of
complaints over the last few
semesters, but his department
does not have much jurisdiction
over the situation.

“There used to be a law saying
that loitering for the purpose of
sexual activity is illegal, but now
the standard of proof is so high
that we have not been able to use
it,” Henighan said. He added
that it is not feasible for the
police to keep a constant
bathroom watch in order to find
someone drilling holes.

Douglas Webster, co-chair of
the Gay and Lesbian Alliance
(GALA), said, “What I worry
about is that is puts gay people in
a bad light. Most of the gay
people on this campus don’t do
that.”

He is concerned that the
activity in the restrooms will
only increase the amount of
homophobia at SUNYA, and
hopes that his organization can
help quell a vicious cycle.

Douglas believes that
homophobia, which is very
prevalent on this campus, causes
the bathroom sex, while the
evidence of bathroom sex
increase homophobia.

“Gays can’t really be open
about their sexual orientation
because they fear harassment.
One thing GALA needs to do is
be more vocal and more open so
that we can get more members so
people don’t have to resort to

Expansion plan calls for new
library between Indian and Dutch

The problem of "Glory Holes,” like those above, has increased dramatically over tha last few months

By Leanne Warshauer
STAFF WRITER

Overstocked shelves and seatless students may
be a thing of the past at SUNYA, thanks to the
University’s proposal to build a new library on
campus, following a five year planning and
construction period.

The existing library was built, along with the rest
of the uptown campus, in the late 1960's.
According to Meredith Butler, the director of
libraries and the dean of library faculty, the campus
at that time was designed to hold 10,000 Full Time
Equivalent (FTE) students, and the library could
maintain a capacity of 800,000 volumes. Today,
Butler said, there are 17,000 FTE students and
more than 1.3 million circulating volumes.

Butler said the library has outgrown its original
space. “The library, about a decade ago, really had
reached a crisis proportion in the space left for the
growth of the collection and the space left,
particularly for seating,” she said.

Butler said that because of the general lack of

space, the library has been forced to make a few
adjustments. The periodicals are now stacked on
compact shelving, and student seating space has
been sacrificed.

“We have far less space for seating students then
we should have, or national standards indicate we
should have,” Butler said.

According to Butler, in an attempt to remedy this
problem, ten years ago the library staff began
working with the University administration to
analyze the problem. Their needs were presented to
the New York State University Construction Fund.

The Construction Fund uses state money and
allocates it for building purposes when necessary.

In the fall of 1987, Butler said, University
President Vincent O’Leary appointed a task force
of librarians and faculty to advise him on how to
address library space needs. The Committee issued
its report examining two alternatives; the
expansion of the existing library and the building
of a separate library.

bathroom sex,” Douglas said.
He also said, “the vast
majority of homosexual activity
on this campus is closeted. I
don’t want people to get the idea
that GALA speaks for every gay
and lesbian on campus because
GALA is a small group.” GALA
has about 40 members.
“Steve”, another GALA
member, said that he wanted to
clarify the difference between
“homophobic” and “self-

homophobic”. He claims that
bathroom sex is not an attack on
homosexuals (a manifestation of
homophobia), but “the irrational
fear or hatred of oneself because
of homosexual feelings (self-
homophobia)."

He added that taking the doors
off the stalls is more of a
hinderance than a help, sending
out a message that pushes the
illicit activity further

Blood donation policy |

causes student protest;
Red Cross responds

By Colleen Corbett

Protesters in the Campus Center advised prospective blood
donors to “please give blood...but with a conscience,” last Thursday.

The protesters, who included members of the State University of
New York (SASU), Pan-Caribbean Association, Students for
Choice, and the African Student Association, demonstrated in
response to Red Cross literature and blood donation policies, which
the students claim are culturally and racially biased. However, the
Red Cross personnel said the students’ actions are misdirected and
may have interfered with the blood drive.

The statement which caused the controversy is contained in the
Red Cross pamphlet What You Mi
which lists the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) donor
exclusion recommendations.
‘One of those recommendations that vou are at risk for getting and
spreading Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and not
to give blood if; “You are a native of Haiti, Sub-Saharan Africa, or
any island close to Sub-Saharan Africa and came to the United

States after 1977.” Diet
Carol Archer, a member of the Pan-Caribbean Association,

praised-the efforts of the Red Cross, but said, “They are defeating
their own purpose with generalizations, which defer a large number
of people from donating blood.”

Archer also said, “The Red Cross needs to provide more specific
information as to why these groups are excluded, so that people
don’t just think that AIDS is a Haitian or homosexual disease and
are therefore not at risk.”

Ina letter responding to student concerns about Red Cross blood
donation policies, George Wilner, MD., director of Blood Services
for the Red Cross, said in the defense of its policies, “In order to
maintain our license, we follow all guidelines imposed by regulatory
agencies such as the FDA, the New York State Department of
Health, as well as guidelines from American Red Cross National
Headquarters.”

The letter also states, “FDA guidelines exclude from donation
persons from various regions where diseases which may be
transmitted by blood products are endemic, such as malaria and
AIDS.”

However, Archer said, “The Red Cross is blindly adopting FDA
regulations, and there needs to be more responsible research about a

Ackerman addresses topics concerning world Jewry

By Leanne Warshauer
STAFF WRITER

U.S. Congressman Gary Ackerman,
sponsored by the SUNY Albany Israel
Public Affairs Committee of Hillel (PAC)
the Young Democrats and the Judaic
Studies Department, addressed a group of
approximately 50 students on a wide range
of topics on Monday.

President of IPAC Ron Halber said
Ackerman was an ideal choice for speaker.
“He is a strong supporter of Israel and a
good reflection of the ideals of peer
organization,” Halber said.

The discussion began with an
introduction of Ackerman by Charles
Graybow, vice president of IPAC.
Graybow said Ackerman has been a
member of the House of Representatives
since 1983 and was re-elected three times.
“Ackerman is a consistent supporter of
pro-Israel legislation in the House and is
actively involved on behalf of Ethiopian
Jewry,” Graybow said.

Ackerman ran the discussion in a
question/answer type format, whereby he
accepted random questions from the floor.

One student asked,”What’s your reaction
to Bush’s statement about Jerusalem?”
regarding Bush’s recent statement that
Soviet Jews should not be allowed to settle
in East Jerusalem.

Ackerman said, “I think it stinks.”

He said when Israel annexed Jerusalem
in 1967, they reunited it as an open city.
“When Israelis liberated the city they

opened it to all religions. Israel has kept
that policy ever since,” Ackerman said.

“For the President to say Soviet Jews
should not be allowed to settle in East
Jerusalem is an outrage. It’s an outrage to
think a Democratic government can tell
people where they should live,”
Ackerman said.

who the underdog is.”

He also said, “It is not the net policy of
Tsrael to shoot Arab kids.”

One student brought up Senator Bob
Dole’s recent call for a five percent aid
cut to Israel. Ackerman said, “I know it
met with serious legislation for aid cut to
Israel will?”

"The Arabs have come upon a masterful
propaganda plot. Instead of sending soldiers out
with guns, they send kids out with rocks. From
this angle, you know who the underdog is."

—U.S. Congressman Gary Ackerman

He also said Bush’s statement may be
an attempt to get Israel to the bargaining
table with the Palestinian Liberation
Organization (PLO).

Ackerman, expressing his feelings on
the PLO, said, “Anybody who is
committed to your total annihilation and
destruction does not come with any great
credentials to sit down at a bargaining
table...How do you compromise with
somebody that wants to kill you?”

According to him, the Arabs are
playing a public relations game. “The
Arabs have come upon a masterful
propaganda plot. Instead of sending
soldiers out with guns, they send kids out
with rocks. From this angle, you know

Ackerman said five percent of our
foreign aid budget is $300 million. “If you
take that and divide it over 150 million
people in Eastern Europe, that’s $2 a
head. It won’t do an awful lot of good
there.”

“We shouldn’t shun our old friends and
allies. We can be supportive of emerging
democracies in Eastern Europe without
cutting off our old friends,” he said.

Ackerman also focused on Black-
Jewish relation. “They have much in
common...Most Jewish members in
Congress speak out against South Africa’s
policy and stress racial equality. In
addition, most black members of
Congress are very supportive of Israel in

the Middle East,” he said.

Later in the discussion, a student
inquired, “What is the future of US arms
sales to Saudi Arabia?”

Ackerman said, “If everyone is going to
arm both sides of a conflict, the only thing
you’re going to have is more conflict. I
don’t understand how we can support the
Israelis to have a superior technological
edge in that part of the world and at the
same time support the Saudis.”

Asked if he thought the armed forces
should be used in the war against drugs,
Ackerman said, “It depends. If you’re
talking about the military going into
Panama and grabbing Noriega, I applaud
it. If you’re talking about us invading
some country because we don’t like their
policy or because someone is a drug
dealer and we march in uninvited, that
should not be our role...There is a process
we should go by.”

After the discussion, students voiced
their opinions.

Senior Cynthia Sultan said, “I found
many of his views predictable for a
Jewish Democrat.”

Halber said, “I thought he was an
excellent and informative speaker and
showed that despite the media’s
disproportionate amount of coverage that
is given for Israel, US public opinion
remains firmly in support of Israel.”

“In addition, the number of students
that showed up shows this campus’

overwhelming positive Israel sentiment,”
Halber said.

Service program offers

credit for volunteer work

By Catherine Hoey

STAFF WRITER

For the past twenty years, SUNYA students have been getting involved in the
Capital District community through the Community and Public Service Program. The
program has been steadily gaining popularity and has grown to impressive
proportions.

“Albany has the largest SUNY Community and Public Service Program in New
York State,” Patricia Fesser, acting director of the Community and Public Service
program, said.

According to the Community and Public Service Program Agency Handbook, 800
to 1000 students are admitted to the program anually. SUNY has contributed more
than one million hours of service to the Capital District in the last ten years.

There are over 240 not-for-profit agencies involved in the program, ich offer
positions ranging from working as a magician’s assistant with the Albany Institute of
Illusion and Magic, to working on consumer fraud issues with the New York State
Department of Law.

“Jt (the program) gives the students some hands on experience,” Feser said. “They
get an opportunity to see what they might want to do.”

According to the agency’s handbook, students are required to complete a minimum
of 72 hours of community service. There is a mandatory orientation and a reading
requirement as well. :

Students are given a mid-term and final evaluation from their agency supervisor.
Fesser explained that this is done for the student’s benefit, as well as the agency’s.
Fesser said the students “gain a reference” which they can use when looking for jobs.
“Tt also helps them network,” Fesser said.

Participating students must hand in a two to three page paper based on the required
reading and their work experience, the handbook stated.

“T like it a lot,” junior Debrah Mackin, who volunteers in the Child’s Hospital
Nursing Home, said. “It gets you off campus.”

Fesser said she sees this as one of the attributes of the program. “Students have
become aware of what the community has to offer,” she said.

“T started because I wanted to work with kids,” senior Michael Baker, who
volunteered at the Albany Boys Club last year and now works there, said.

“About 10 to 15 percent of our students actually acquire summer and full-time
jobs,” stated Fesser. “There may be more that we don’t know about.”

Student reaction to the Community and Public Service Program has been good.
“About 85 percent have had positive experiences,” Fesser said.

The problems that have occured stem mainly from poor student attendance. “It

Gordon urges more emphasis
on African American studies

By Ben Sofer
STAFF WRITER

“I am because we are,” Dr. Vivian
Gordon, a professor in SUNYA’s African-
American Studies department said last
month in concluding a lecture on the
African American family.

That statement defines Gordon’s goal of
gaining national acceptance and
recognition of a black culture. This is
known as Afrocentricity, Gordon said.

“J don’t think we can expect to have a
viable African American citizenry if we
do not...help (blacks) to have a positive
self-identity which is seeded in their own
culture,” she said. Gordon said she wants
an African American citizenry, just as she
said she expects there to be a “Chinese

means...I don’t have to stop being black.”

Reports show Affirmative Action has
helped mostly white women, Gordon said.
Her department, which lacks space,
computers, and a room _ for
undergraduates, has only four full-time
teachers, and lacks the equity in
comparison to other departments, Gordon
said.

Black faculty work in stressful
environments, with white fellow staff
members not viewing them as equals, she
said. She also said they are in committees
where they feel they are only tolerated and
not fully respected.

'World Unity’ stressed as World Week IX opens

By Brenda Kube
STAFF WRITER

When was the last time you
could take a trip around the
world in one stop? At the
opening ceremony of World
Week IX in the Campus Center
Ballroom, a large and varied
collection of cultural student
associations and other groups
made their contribution to World
Week with cultural dishes, a
wide mix of cultural music and
pamphlets, videos, jewelry, and
T-shirts to catch one’s eye.

The theme for World Week IX

is: students uniting for a better
world. Indeed, the unity was
present due to so many various
cultures and groups being
represented.

Among some of the groups
represented were the German
Club, Indonesia Student
Association, Latin-American and
Caribbean studies, Japanese SA,
Italian American SA, Intensive
English Language Program,
Chinese Cultural Association,
Fuerza Latina, Irish Club,
African Students Association,
Albany State University Black

Alliance, Dutch Homeless,
Office of Intemational Programs
and School of Social Work
Community Service.

The opening celebration began
with a bagpipe player dressed in
the traditional Scottish kilt,
blaring out a “royal sounding”
melody while he stood in front
of the stage. He then proceeded
to march through the aisles of
tables.

Mitchel Livingston, vice
president for Student Affairs,
then spoke. He said the first
World Week began in 1981 with

SETA forms to promote animal rights

By Kerri Lewis
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

On January 31, Students for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (SETA) became SA
recognized, SETA member Amber Humphrey said
the group’s main purpose is to educate.

“We exist to make people more aware of the
abuse and mistreatment of animals.” Humphrey
said.

“Animal rights covers a lot of issues, ranging
from the treatment of household pets to animals
used in medical research,” she said.

One of the founding members of SETA Sal
Attanasio said, “We emphasize the horrible
conditions of factory farming: overcrowdedness,
mutilation and abuse.”

Attanasio also said, “Cosmetics testing is also
cruel because harmful solvents are poured directly
into the animals’ eyes.”

The group has been very active since gaining SA
recognition. Some of these activities have included
tabling in the Campus Center last week, and the
showing of a film on animal rights which showed
abusive practices from medical research labs and
slaughter houses.

On March 19, SETA is hosting an informational
program in the LC’swith guest speakers Charles
and Reissa Donauth from the Animal Rights
Action League.

On March 20, SETA is hosting “The Great

American Meat Out.” People will be asked to
pledge to give up meat for one day. SETA plans to
have a vegetarian alternative available on every
quad that day, Humphrey said. The group will be
distributing flyers about this program next week.

SETA is holding a protest at McDonalds on
March 20, as well, using street theater to
emphasize the health aspects of vegetarianism, the
destruction that depleting rain forests for cattle
grazing land does to the environment, and the
humanitarian aspect of putting an end to factory
farming.

Attanasio said he does not want SETA to be
classified as a group of extremists. However, he
said he concedes some of the views may be
different thanthe average student’s.

“One thing that SETA stands for that puts us on
the fringe is the unique perspective we hold that
animals have lives independent of their use to us.”

Attanasio said he supports medical research only
when there are no other alternatives, but said he
feels that more discriminating methods are
necessary.

Attanasio said SETA wants the students to be
aware of the alternatives to using animals such as:
a ban on testing, vegetarianism, and the use of
synthetic materials instead of fur.

“We live in a culture with such a wealth of
alternatives. I can’t imagine people choosing to
ignore them,” Attanasio said.

with Nelson Mandela’s release,
the theme can now be students
uniting for a better world.

“Tt is important that we have
this opportunity to come together
to celebrate our
diversity,”Livingston said. “Our
World Week has received
national recognition.”

University of Albany President
Vincent O’Leary said the
enthusiasm of World Week
should spread throughout the
university community.

“The most important part of
World Week is not in Asia, not in
South Africa, but on this
campus,” O’Leary said. “I hope
this tradition will continue for
many years to come. It’s also
important to have some fun with

After O’Leary’s comments,
balloons were released in the
Campus Center Ballroom.

The kindergarten class from
the Pierce Hall Day Care Center,
sitting on the floor in front of the
stage, excitedly sprung up to
catch the balloons. The children
then lined up and sang “It’s a
Small World After All” in
English and eight other
languages including “Serbo-
Croation, Mandarin, French,
Irish, Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic,
and Cantonese. The audience
was then asked to sing along as
the children once again sang in
English.

There were balloons of all
different colors, music from
different nationalities played, and
people enthusiastically tasted
different delicacies.

STDs come in many forms,
many without symptoms

By Ingrid Porter, M.D.

Sexually transmitted diseased (STDs)
are currently epidemic in the United
States, especially among people aged 15-
34. They include genital herpes,
chlamydis, gonorrhea, genital warts,
syphilis and AIDS. Some of these can cost
their victims dearly in health, fertility and
, in the case of AIDS, qj
life itself. The least Middle
serious of these is genital Earth
herpes which poses a Roots
health hazard only to
newborns. The most serious is of course
AIDS. Genital warts, regarded by many
students as no more than a nuisnace, have
in fact been implicated in an increased
incidence of genital cancers. Chlamydia
and gonorrhea can both be present and a
threat to fertility while producing few or
even no symptoms.

The development of any of the
following symptoms, particularly if you
have a new partner, should send you to the
University Health Center for diagnosis
and treatment: abnormal discharge,
painful urination, sores or blisters on
genitals, abnormal monthly bleeding,
painful intercourse. Come in even if the

symptom goes away, as the disease may
have moved into a ‘silent’ stage.

There is evidence that the AIDS virus is
present in many more young heterosexuals
than was predicted several years aga.
These people are not aware that they are
infected and may be transmitting AIDS
unknowingly. Certainly, if anyone thinks
they. may have had a sexual contact with a
bisexual person or someone with an IV-
drug-use background, he or she should be
tested for the HIV virus, as there now are
drugs that significantly prolong life and
health in infected people.

Latex condoms and diaphragms with
spermicide offer the best protection against
STDs. Oral sex does not protect you.
Some people feel that they can ‘tell’ when
a prospective partner is a safe bet to be
free of STDs, but a wholesome, clean cut
and honest manner is not included on the
list of ‘safe-sex’ guidelines. Know your
partner(s) and the fewer you have, the
safer you are,

Award to be given in 'Name the Rat' contest

UAS will award a 13 inch color television to the student who comes up with a new
name for the revised Rathskellar.

Scott Leeman, Vice President of UAS said the contest will give students the
opportunity to give their input. “We wanted to give students a chance to pick the
name to make it a student place,” Leeman said. Leeman said UAS is looking for
student’s creativity to give the Rat a new image.

Submissions should be brought to the UAS Commissary on 99 Fuller Road and
addressed to Norb Zahm. In the event of duplicate entries, the student who entered
the name first will be chosen. The deadline for submissions is 5:00 p.m., April 20.

New computer system aids in interviewing

Last week, the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis (CSDA), a research unit
at SUNYA introduced hardware and software to support computer-assisted telephone
interviewing.

According to Russel Ward, a professor of sociology and director CSDA, this new
system will make interviews easier adn administration more efficient. The new
process will also save a lot of time and resources.

The facility is intended for use by researchers affiliated with SUNYA; it contains
10 work stations for telephone interviewing.

Studies using this survey include: a statewide survey on AIDS and Capital District
surveys on opinions about racial and ethnic bias.

Phi Sig takes on associate members as part of merger

By Patti Martino
and Hope Morrow

Phi Sigma Sigma recently
gained 26 members as a result of
a merger with an interest group.

Tina Zannella, President of Phi
Sigma Sigma, said her sorority
proposed the merger to The
Social Club because it would
benefit both groups.

“They wanted to become a
sorority and we wanted to
strengthen our sorority,”

Zannella said.

At the time of the merger all
members of The Social Club
became associate members of
Phi Sigma Sigma. The associate
members are required to pledge
the national sorority before
becoming full sisters.

Mara Munves, an associate of
Phi Sigma Sigma, said, “This
gave us the chance to become a
sorority.”

Beth Kirschner, also an

associate of Phi Sigma Sigma,
said it was a great opportunity.
“Each group got something out
of it. We finally got
to become part of a sorority
after a year and a half and we
can bring some ‘new blood’ to
the sisters (of Phi Sigma
Sigma),” Kirschner said.
Zannella said member of the
two organizations met for the
first time on Feb. 25, and spent
several hours together before
deciding to merge.

U.N.M. student union bans styrofoam

(CPS)—Following the lead of

7,000 students daily, will switch

the earth, and cause global
warming. Polysterene products,
moreover, are nonbiodegradable,
menaing they clog up landfills.

Their arguements are
attracting support on many
campuses. A few weeks before
New Mexico dropped plastic
from packaging, Marriot Dining
Services at George Mason
University in Virginia announced
it had switched from foam to
paper cups because of pressure
from environmental groups.

“We hear a lot from students
about (plastic foam containers)
because they hear they have
chlorofluorocarbons,” said Clark
DeHaven, executive director of
the National Association of
College and University Food
Services.

“Students bring sensitivity to
the issue,” he said.

Tulane University, Lake Forest
College and the University of
Kansas, to name a few, already
have banned polystyrene in
campus food services.

Zannella said the decision was
not a very difficult one to make.
“Some girls had already known
each other in the group,”
Zannella said.

Despite the fact that Kirschner
said it is difficult to get two
groups together, they have held
several social activities. “Every
one is happy,” Kirschner said,
“and we are all getting along
great.”

Zannella said the sorority is
not focusing on group activities

to promote unity, including
organizing a Big sister, Little
sister program.

“Right now, we're
concentrating on setting up a lot
of activities for people to
interact,” Zannella said,

Zannella said the merger is
going well. “Everyone is really
pulling along,” she said. An
initiation date has not been set
for the associate members, but
will be held this semester.

the nation will lose ground,”
Gordon said. She pointed to the
dismantlement of funds for
minorities, and an American
institutionalized prejudice as
major reasons for the African
American plight.

Gordon said Martin Luther
King Jr.’s sentiments on
integration have been
misconstrued by whites who
have the power. “Integration
means the exchange between

equals, not a movement from
black to white. Integration to the
people with the power means
‘acceptable to them’,” she said.
Gordon said she makes a point
of breaking up black cliques in
her classes, and that she gives
projects that allow black and
white students to switch roles.

Do not deny student
involvment

This May, President Vincent O'Leary
will be leaving his post. It is the
responsibility of the University Council to
select a candidate and recommend that
candidate to the SUNY Board of
Trustees for appointment.

Since the search for a new president
began last fall, about 200 people have
applied for the position. As of last week,
the University Council screening
committee has narrowed that down to
just four. Only one student is on that
committee. Now that four finalists
remain, each will have their own day on
campus to be interviewed.

Now here is the catch.

Last month, Nadya Lawson,
chairperson of Student Association
Central Council spoke to Alan Iselin,
chairperson of University Council to
request that more students be involved
in the selection process.

Last week, Iselin handed out a
proposed schedule for visiting
candidates, one which included only
three students, serving in a limited
capacity. (Fermin Espinosa, Steve
Rhoads, and Lawson are part of the 21
person University Council Advisory
Committee - scheduled meet to with a
candidate for two hours on that particular
candidate's visit to campus.) Now do
these two hours not seem quite slim to
expect these three students among a
group of 21 to ask pertinent questions on
serious campus issues? To have their
questions accurately represent the
concerns of the many and diversified
students on our campus? To provide
time for a candidate to respond to those
questions in a manner that is indicative
of their person and therefore best portray
themselves to the students?

Perhaps not.

A "student block" could be formed, one
representing members from the varied
student population, one working in the
interest of the students, to also meet with
each candidate in their visit to campus.

That is why a petition is being passed
through the campus to call for more
student involvement in this selection
process.

As it stands now, students are at risk of
letting others choose a president for
them, allowing few student concerns to
be heard in the matter. Let us not lay
silent. Speak up and be heard.

Students will be sweeping the
residence halls Tuesday night with
petitions in need of the concerned
students’ signatures. Off-campus

students could stop in the Campus
Center to sign petitions.

Sign at first chance because there may
not be another.

Unveiling CARP's warped agenda

CARP (Collegiate Association for the Research of
Principles) should be permanently barred from SUNY
Albany’s campus. CARP (a front group for Rev. Sun
Myung Moon’s Unification Church, or Moonies)
misrepresented itself the Student Association and
conducted itself inappropriately on campus.
Furthermore, CARP members, through their conduct,
attempted to violate students’ First Amendment rights
to free speech, and thus the academic integrity of the
University.

Though my feelings against the Unification Church
are strong and personal, my argument against it is
factual and specific.

While professing to be an “educational student
movement that seeks positive solutions to world
problems,” CARP’s hidden goal is to recruit students
to the Unification Church. Masking their intent, CARP
petitioned SA for temporary recognition and a
solicitation permit, making no reference to the

James de Seve

Unification Church, Instead they identified themselves
as a group akin to Amnesty International. Not
mentioning their affiliation to the Unification Church
would be acceptable if they weren’t, in fact, directly
controlled by that church. However, ex-moonie Steve
Hassan, founder of CARP at Queen’s College, says in
his book Combatting Cult Mind Control, “I received
all my instructions and funding from the director of
the Unification Church in Queens.” CARP should
have been frank and clear to SA that their intention on
campus was the promotion of Rev. Moon’s doctrines.
Furthermore CARP’s claim to be a “student
organization” must be suspect. Its leaders are not
students. Of the twelve CARP representatives I spoke
with during their week long stay on our campus, only
one was a student- studying theology at the
Unification Seminary in Barrytown, N.Y.

The case against CARP’s presence on campus is
furthered by examining their conduct at the “open
seminar” they held last Thursday in the Performing
Arts Center. A friend and I went to the PAC lobby
with the intention of discussing the Unification
Church with students interested in attending the event.
When we tried to climb the stairs to the Recital Hall
we were stopped and told we would not be allowed to
enter, We presented valid student ID's and admission
tickets and tried again to climb the stairs. This time we
were physically shoved down by Unification Church
“security” (as they called themselves) who at the same
time attempted to seize papers from our hands,
shouting “Devil’s work.” Only after University Police
arrived were we allowed to enter the Recital Hall-
having been warned by the police, however, not to ask
questions or make comments at any time during or

after the lecture.

CARP’s conduct was inappropriate for several
reasons. They barred students from entering a free and
public lecture taking place in University facilities.
They spontaneously and physically harassed students.
They brought their own secret security to campus
without requesting that the school provide security for
them. Finally, they violated students’ First Amendment
rights by attempting to control legal free speech. The
violation of First Amendment rights is the strongest
offense. CARP, and even some anti-CARP students,
defend CARP’s presence on many campuses
nationwide because of its right to free expression.
CARP’s actions, however, confirm that the First
Amendment is merely a tool with which they can
spread the demented word of Reverend Moon. The
Unification Church’s belief and respect for the First
Amendment exists only when the Church’s purposes
are served.

The Unification Church lied their way onto campus
and they haven’t played by the rules. This strategy is
true of their overall technique. Every CARP recruit
campaign is part of a highly orchestrated system of
psychological coercion.

A friend of mine, now a Moonie, fell into CARP’s
trap. He was “befriended” by a CARP member who
invited him to a one-day workshop to discuss world
problems and social issues. At the end of the
workshop, he was pressured by a group of “friends” to
Stay at their center for two more days of “discussion. “
From dawn to dusk a relentless stream of members
showered him with Moon’s propaganda. By the end of
three weeks, he had quit his job and donated his life
and life savings to Reverend Moon, I last saw him
selling flowers at the Holland Tunnel in New York
City. On this methodology, they’ve built an army of
workers and resources. There are some choice quotes
by Reverend Moon (from a series of lectures titled,
“The Master Speaks”):

“Jews bear a special collective sin for their
repudiation of Jesus. “ (The cult blames the Jewish
nation for the failure of Jesus’ mission.)

“When you are blessed in marriage, you women
must be absolutely obedient to your husbands.”

“Homosexuality can be eradicated by beating on
them...and if it is the only remedy, it will be done.”

CARP and the Unification Church have no place on
our campus. I call on the school administration, the
Student Association, and the general student body to
revoke their solicitation permit and permanently ban
them from our campus.

— —

I’m bored. We’re all bored. Look

around you — everybody’s bored. If
they don’t seem so, they’re just faking
it because they know you're watching
them. Why are we so bored? I’ve
come up with two distinct
possibilities for myself, and many of
you may find them familiar. One,
since I’m graduating, I’m only taking
six credits, requiring a minimum of
effort, even from my _ non-
academically oriented cerebrum. Two,
I’ve been here about four years too
long. Everybody probably has their
own unique reasons for being bored.

Rick Schwartz

Anyway, the key issue here is not
why we're bored, but what we're
going to do to alleviate this boredom.
I have taken the liberty of conducting
an impromptu poll among my vast
acquaintances here at SUNY, to see if
we can discover something for
everybody to do. What follows, then,
is a brief, albcit extensive guide to
filling those long days and even
longer nights here in the winter
wonderland. For you academics out
there, (if there are any) consider it
“Ennui Prevention 101”:

1.- Initiate and maintain a strict
physical regimen: There are a number
of different health clubs in the Capital
district. These range from “Jim’s
Gym,” (the name has been changed to
protect myself) a no-frills weight room
where it costs extra to sweat, to Le
Ultimate Spa, a spacious weight
room/sauna/disco where, for a mere
eighty dollars a week, a man named
Claude will not only work out for
you, he'll also call your mother every
other Wednesday. Personally, opening
a bag of Doritos is exercise enough for
me, resulting in my temple eroding
into a monastery.

2.- Maximize your social potential:
(within moral and legal bounds) My
friend Blair told me that she
conceived of a brilliant plan of how to
go out every night of the week in
Albany and actually enjoy herself. The
plan included complex graphs and
mathematical equations blending
bars, happy hours, splits nights,
fraternity events and other mysterious
data. Blair, it seems, has managed to
amuse herself this semester by
running on a social treadmill, pausing
only now and then for an Advil or
three. The fact that Blair can count her
true friends on one finger should not
deter anyone from implementing this
plan, though be forewarned that
unless you have a bottomless wallet
and a dazzling array of sweaters,
being a social king or queen can be
quite treacherous.

3. - Seek and gain worthwhile

employment: The
job opportunities
available to college
students in this area
are numerous and
varied. If the desire
strikes you, there is
challenging and
exciting work to be
accomplished in the
downtown State
Assembly, a crucial
stronghold in the
political arena. If a
different desire
should strike, there
is also challenging
and exciting work
to be accomplished
at Domino’s, a
crucial stronghold
in the pizza-
delivery arena.
Whatever type of
employment you
decide upon, the
mere fact that you
are mature and self-
reliant enough to
supplement your
studies with a job is
highly admirable,
and my father
would be proud to
have you as one of
his children,
Actually, if you
have a paying job, he’d probably trade
you for me.

4. - Apply for membership in the
Nielson family: Plant yourself in a
comfortable chair or couch, turn on
the T.V. with your remote, and stay in
this position as long as you can.
Known colloquially as being a “couch
potato,” it is an apt term for this
remarkably simple and effortless
“activity.” A variation on this theme
includes what I like to call a “baked
couch potato,” but I feel obligated to
add a small note of deterrence based
on my own misfortune. The details
are unimportant and _ legally
incriminating, but suffice it to say that
after one particularly lethargic stretch
spent in a complete stupor on my
favorite couch, two mammoth women
with the words “Home Shopping
Network—SECURITY” emblazoned
across their ample chests presented
themselves at my door asking about
payment for a shipment of 1200 Ginsu
knives. While this unpleasant incident
may be unique to my life, if you find
yourself marveling at the intricacies of
classic “Dating Game” episodes, it’s
time to sell the couch and T.V. and
move to Utah.

5. - Begin a relationship: Though
this option is an excellent way to
occupy your spare time, there can
obviously be an assortment of

cAspects

March 13, 1990

physical and psychological
ramifications. I am tempted to advise
that starting a relationship is only
healthy if you’re a mature and
emotionally stable individual, but I
have found this popular notion to be
untrue and irrelevant. It doesn’t
matter if you have the emotional
equipment of an avocado — you can
still entertain yourself and a friend for
months with the right relationship. By
the word “right”, I mean anybody
who'll return your phone calls. In fact,
the more wrong someone is for you,
the better it is. Keep in mind that our
purpose is to relieve boredom; hence,
a stormy, even violent interaction will
often go further towards dispelling
that daily tedium than a stable but
monotonous union. If this advice
sounds like Dear Abby on valium,
you should also keep in mind that my
last (and most successful) relationship
ended in a bruised ego, a deviated
septum, and a paternity suit.

These seem to be the most popular
choices among my peers, though my
peers may not necessarily be your
peers. Less common replies, but still
worthy of mention, include the
following:

Complain a lot — This is performed
with such frequency and skill at
SUNY that it should be made into an

How (ho-hum) is your (yawn) semester going?

intramural sport.

Go home — If the doldrums of
Albany are too much for you to bear,
scmetimes a brief respite at the place
of your childhood can be distracting
and rewarding. Unless, of course,
your parents feel as mine do; they
paid for my schooling with the single
stipulation being that I promise to
stay at school.

Start taking education seriously —
Granted, your last semester in college
may be a tad too late for this, but as
the saying goes, better late than
during the first three years when
you're too busy going out.

Submit to the boredom and lose
your sanity — No elucidation
required.

And finally, a suggestion from my
friend Trent, who,when asked what he
would do to alleviate the boredom,
jokingly (I thought) replied, “I'd join a
culi.” Now he insists that I refer to
him as “Moonchild,” and has sold all
of his material possessions, except for
a colorful Polo ski jacket.

Well, that’s all of the suggestions I
received, except for those which no
respectable publication would print. I
sincerely hope that one of these
recommendations will help your final
days here at SUNY be a little more
interesting and — dare I say the
word? — exciting.

"Hill, Ray. This is Suzie Transparent from the big movie

company in Manhattan, and we'd like to fly you down to
New York next week to preview so and so superstar’s new
smash hit movie, which hasn't been released yet, and to
have a scrumptious luacheon and interview her
afterwards. I'm sure you'll be as delighted with the picture
as we are.”

Not to try and sway your review in any direction, of
course. Tee hee hee.

Movie companies, record companies, any publicist
actually, scam out little ploys like these every day of their
careers. They're paid to lie to you. Anything to get good
press.

last week MGM rang me up and inquired if I’d like to be
flown down to New York for the day to review an advanced
screening of Jamie Lee Curtis’ new flick B/ue Stee/, and
attend a press conference with Miss Curtis and Kathryn
Bigelow, the author and director of the film.

“Let me check my calendar and III get back to you,” | told
the press woman.

Never let them see you sweat, says the Sure and Dry
commercial, at least. You don't want these people to think
they've got you baited on a string.

Of course | had every intention of going from the word
“Hill”, | just made the poor woman's job a little more
challenging.

So the following Thursday | boarded the Business Express
to La Guardia, en route to the MGM screening room. |
must've been the only businessman on the forty-seater
with a JanSport knapsack straddling his back and a set of
headphones atop his head.

double doors and smack in front of me is the woman whom
I'd spoken with, sporting the gosh-darnedest biggest grin
you ever did see. “Hilil, I’m Suzie and you must be...”

Well, | had heard that voice before (actually, most of
them sound like this), and | graciously accepted my B/ue
Steel baseball cap and entered the banquet room, where |
met several college press correspondents from all over the
northern East coast, including Rutgers, Harvard, and La
Salle.

First we were buttered up with a buffet luncheon,
including several salads and sandwiches, and even fudge-
covered brownie cake. An exaggerated butler circied the
room picking up empties and pouring re-fills. Then came
the screening, followed by a candyman who threw out
boxfuls of Cracker Jacks, Charms’ lollipops, and Tootsie
Rolls.

Finally, the grand entrance. Jamie Lee and Kathryn, who
even turned on the mini-recorders and flipped the tapes on
the half hour mark.

Scores of college press correspondents left the building
in a state of euphoria, some even raving about the best
movie they'd seen all year. The charming press woman
thanked each reviewer, by name, as they left the day's
festivities, just like this, “Thaaaanks Ray, glaaad you
could come."

She waved and grinned, thinking of all the press clippings
she'd be receiving in the next week or two. Little did she
know I’m going to write about Blue Steel, not the fudge-
covered brownie cake or Business Express flight
"“Yoooouuuur Welcome,” | said without a hint of derision,

Fine Performances, Directing Highlight Burn This

The character of Burton is the first

character to use the words “burn this,”
in Lanford Wilson’s play of the same
name. Burton is a science-fiction writer
turning now to writing something
“real,” though he is having a hard time
revealing his feelings in his work. “Do
it and write ‘Burn this’ on it,” he says,
referring to any piece of work which
shows what you're all about.

Eric Berlin

Anna, a “sleek New York City
dancer” has a safe, staid relationship
with Burton, with only the occasional
revelation of feelings and worries
about “compatibility.” But then enters
Pale, brother of Anna’s dead
housemate, with a number of long,
cocaine-and-alcohol-induced
monologues. He begins his own
relationship with Anna, a much more
volatile one, not based on safety at all.
Maybe Anna loves him, but she’s also
afraid of him.

Suffering from an over-long first act,
Cap Rep’s production of Burn This
picks up quickly in the second act, to

become sharp and, ultimately,
touching. The first act is weighed
down by both Wilson’s overdone
exposition in the first twenty minutes,
and then by Mark
Arnold’s first time on
stage as Pale. Though
all-in-all very successful
in the role, Pale’s
aforementioned
drugged-up
monologues don’t seem
very drugged-up at all.
Arnold takes the hyper-
speed speeches and
doubles their delivery
time. Also, in the
second act, there is a
stagey, none-too-
believable fight scene.

And that’s all for
major problems with
Cap Rep’s production.

No one performance
really leaps out of the
production. The
character of Larry,
Anna’s homosexual
housemate, could be a
true show-stealer,
blessed as he is with

Volcano Erupts With Humor

Tom Hanks has one of those
magical screen personalities that most
actors will never attain. He has the
uncanny ability to be himself in his
movies; to play the same likeable
character film after film without it
hurting his career. And, as Hanks’ star
continues to grow ever so Bigger, he
continues to crank out successful hits
like his latest, the oddly titled Joe
Versus The Volcano.

Clarence Eckerson

Hanks stars as Joe Banks, a listless
poor-soul who grinds away a feeble
existence working in a decrepit factory
(reminiscent of the movie Metropolis)
that specializes in the production of
rectal thermometers. For Joe, work is a
miserable daily routine that saps him
of his strength and piece-of-mind,
prompting him to see a company
doctor. The results aren’t so good: he
has a “brain-cloud,” a terminal disease
that leaves him with less than six
months to live.

But in the movie world, oh, how the
tide can turn. Joe works up enough
zeal to quit his job and ask out the
boss’ secretary. The next day a wealthy
entrepeneur (loony Lloyd Bridges),
shows up on his doorstep offering bad-
luck Joe an unforgettable offer:
three weeks filled with travel ana
luxury that will culminate in a death
leap into an active volcano. Penniless
and alone, Joe says why not.

As cute as the-girl-next-door, Meg
Ryan (When Harry Met Sally), is Joe's
love interest. Here, she plays three
different roles that (in a peculiar way)
are all interlocked. If you loved the
wacky Ryan before, you'll love her
even more as she will charm you with
her tilted sense of humor.

Also showing up in the cast is
a special appearance by Abe (Holy
Smokes! Under-that-warpaint-it’s-Fish)

Vigoda, as the leader of the Waponis.
A mixed-up tribe living on a South
Atlantic isle, the Waponis suck down
quarts of orange soda like it’s going
out of style. In case you haven’t
figured it out by now, Joe is their
sacrifice to The Great Woo-their ancient
fire god.

Much of the humor in Volcano
is subtle, not slapstick like it is
portrayed in the trailers. In spurts it
does get zany. For example, a comical
look at Joe’s close encounter with an
animated hammerhead shark is
uproarious. There are also some deep
philosophical meanings contained
in its script.

Perhaps the biggest surprise
from Volcano is the beautiful art
direction and sense of style brought
together by John Patrick Stanley. In
much the way Citizen Kane used black
and white to its advantage, the same
can be said of the way Stanley
manipulates the color scheme to
produce a distorted view of physical
teality. His visions are picturesque,
beautiful representations of the world.
Assisted by the special effects of
George Lucas’ Industrial Light and
Magic, each shot has that little
something extra...done with
remarkable precision and care. The
artistic quality in Volcano is one of a
kind.

Tt also pushes the bounds of
just how wonderful a film can make
you feel. There is an almost
indescribable euphoric message of
hope and joy lying within the
chemistry between the talented Ryan
and Hanks. Joe Versus the Volcano is
one of those rare gems that will leave
you filled with a pleasant afterglow.
In many ways, it proves that there is
always hope, that dreams come true,
and that love conquers all.

terrific one-liners. (“Pale hasn’t come
here more than once — or should I say
he hasn’t been here more than once.”)
But Barry Lee gives a more subdued,

solid showing in that role — indeed,
the best performance of the night.
James Rice, as Burton, finds much
depth in a comparatively small, rather
thankless role. His inability to express
himself, and his subsequent pain, wins
over the audience’s sympathies.

Stronger than individual
performances is Bruce Bouchard’s
directing. With his fine ensemble of
actors, he establishes strong
relationships between the characters.
The rocky love between Anna and Pale
becomes a case in point. This is not a
safe love; this is not love without risk.
Juliette Kurth, as Anna, is quite
believable in a difficult role, moving
closer to Pale even as she tries to move
away. And as Pale, Mark Arnold
captures in equal portions the sense of
danger that has Anna running, and the
vulnerability that brings her back.
Initial monologues aside, Arnold
capably handles the role.

A typically wonderful set designed
by Rick Dennis and some truly
wonderful lighting by Brian MacDevitt

well-worth a trip down to the Market
Theater.

Silos at QE2

In 1988, after the Silos released Cuba,
their second independent album,
Rolling Stone Magazine crowned them
the best unsigned band in the country.
In 1989, they got signed.

Raymond Rogers

The Silos play QE2 this Thursday in
support of their first album for RCA
Records, simply titled The Silos.

“The best thing about signing with a
major is that now people will be able to
buy our records in mainstream record
stores, no matter where they live,” says
singer-songwriter Walter Salas
Humara from his home in New York.

“The national press has been good to
us, but not everybody has a great radio
station like WCDB where they can hear
our music, so hopefully with major
label backing we'll be a bit more
accessible to fans across the country.”

Aside from
that, not much
else has changed
with The Silos.
“There was no
pressure at all
from them
(RCA), we had
already cut most
of the songs
anyway, and we
ran out of

money, so we
just used them
as our demos.
They knew they
wouldn't have to
do anything at
all with it, that’s
probably why
they picked us
up.”

The Silos went
back down to
Gainesville,
where Salas-

Humara went to college, to record the
LP with producer Peter Moore, who
helped The Cowboy Junkies record
their stunning Trinity Sessions record in
an historic church in Canada. “We
went down there to record in an old
movie theater, that’s partly the reason
why we chose him to co-produce the
record. He has an amazing knowledge
of acoustics, and he’s also real
gregarious, and passionate about
music,” Salas-Humara said.

The new record features similar
traditional folky elements, as on their
previous releases, and some slightly
newer styles. “There’s a few quirky
songs on there like “Commodore
Peter,” and some straight-out huge
rock numbers like “Caroline.” “

One of the album’s most moving
tracks, “Porque No” is even sung in
Spanish. The Silos brand of traditional
folk and subtle harmonies is quite
infectious. Come see them this
Thursday at QE2.

Lowe Job

And now let's go to the videotape...Film star Rob
Lowe has played his share of roles, mostly charming yet
self-serving playboys, as in the box office hits "St. Elmo's
Fire" and "About Last Night." But Lowe's most famous
role was one in which he played himself. Needless to
say, the famed pornographic videotape of Rob Lowe as
Rob Lowe with two women (one of them underaged) in
an Atlanta hotel room sparked an onslaught of
controversy. Parts of the tape were broadcast on Al
Goldstein's New York cable station, bootlegs were widely
circulated, and Lowe was tried and convicted by the
public. In point of fact, however, a civil suit against
Lowe by the mother of the underaged woman has been
dropped, and Lowe served 20 hours of community
service in his hometown of Dayton, Ohio.

With the release last week of "Bad Influence," Lowe's
latest, the actor stepped back into the spotlight and
confronted the press. The buzz on "Bad Influence" is that
in the film Lowe protrays a character who videotapes a
sex scene between co-star James Spader and a woman.
"It's no more a parallel than the fact that the biggest hit
on TV right now is ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos.’
Give me a break," he told the Daily News. "Video is part
of the culture now. "

Still, part of the culture or not, the videotape scandal
didn't exactly put Lowe in the best of light. "It was a
growing up mistake," Lowe said of the incident. "I have
nobody to blame but myself."

"Come on along,there's a drug that we're doing"
Two actors who achieved fame during their childhood
years have grown up -- and met the long arm of the law.
Danny Bonaduce, 30, a repeat offender, played Danny,
the obnoxious red-headed Partridge on the "Partridge
Family" television show, and has been working as a dij. at
a Philadelphia radio station. He was arrested last week
in Florida for reportedly purchasing a quantity of crack
and stuffing it into his boots. Corey Feldman, 18, who
has starred in such films as "Stand By Me," and
"Goonies," was arrested in Los Angeles for possession of
several bags of heroin. Both were charged and released.

A good racist is a dead...

To The Editor:

In response to Zradi, Dilworth, Cassara, Pauta, Meyer
and Keilty; how dare you attempt to legitimize the
actions of a racist! You seemingly try to paint a picture
of African-Americans as being so unreasonable to
criticism or remark that they would misconstrue any
remark as a racist threat.

Surely, your letter implies that the so-called “accuser”
is such a person. We know that racial tension on this
campus is as high as heaven and what we see here is only
a mere, minuscule drop in an oceanic bucket that reflects
the evil psyche which pervades America today. In this
microcosm of society, I fail to understand the logic
behind lying about any racial incident.

Secondly, you do not go into the details of exactly
what was said pertaining to that particular situation.
Obviously, there was a racial statement made since it was
witnessed and never addressed. We will refresh your
memory. There was a reference made concerning
“niggers and Nintendo game” following in request to
lower the volume of music emanating from the room. If
he made that remark to us, it would have been
“Nightmare on Colonial Quad” Parts 1 through 13. Be
appreciative that someone reported the incident.

You bemoan the fact that an individual was moved out
of his room due to the “unwarranted suggestion of
threats.” Of course, you never knew of the under-age
drinking that occurred on top of the continuous quiet-
hours violations. You never witnessed the repeated
meandering down the hallway with open alcoholic

beverages in hand. In addition, each individual involved
was well acquainted with the university’s alcohol policy.
Yet strangely enough, all of this has so conveniently
slipped your minds.

We say, a good racist is a dead racist; that is in itself a
warrant for a threat. Tell me who is more deserving of a
threat than a racist. In your letter, you accuse the
residential staff of being biased and you turned the
episode into a case of one’s word against another whom
you claim witnessed the event. I am more than certain
that the residential staff hearing the case was not all
Black. Had one of them been a person of color, your
claim would at best be doubtful, but you had only White
witnesses. In other words, your letter was a fruitless
attempt to defend your friend without preparation for any
feedback whatsoever.

Sure, we live in a country where "justice is supposed to
be served” as you so jingoistically stated. However, what
a country does and what it’s supposed to do are two
entirely different entities. This country is supposed to
view all men as created equal. In fact, the very
foundation of this country was laid on the backs of the
people viewed as unequal. While on the subject of
justice, we will close by stating that we will not tolerate
any racial epithets hurled in our direction; it will
certainly be addressed. Remember not everyone
exercises a level of restraint from violence as did the so-
called accuser. We the undersigned agree to this.

Animals? Perky eyes?

To The Editor:

I’m a little confused with Lisa R. Austin’s letter in the
Tuesday, March 6 issue of the ASP and with the animal
cruelty thing, in general.

So, these animal trainers actually use “whips” and
“prods” on animals with “lowered heads and
downtrodden eyes,” as Lisa wrote in her letter.
“Downtrodden”? Gosh, you’re pretty perceptive, Lisa,
but, say, could you describe their eyes when they feel
perky? “Perky eyes”?

Animals have been under whip and chain for a long
time in human history, serving humankind’s needs. A
hundred years ago, horses, harnessed, whipped, spurred
and corralled, were our main means of transport. Cruel?
Was this different? Were these animals whipped out of
need, while the circus is for entertainment, and this is
worse. Oxen, whipped, toiled, overworked, plowed many
a field in their day, yielding precious food. This kind of
cruelty was different, necessary?

Heck, even Jesus Christ himself came cruising in on
Palm Sunday riding a mule. Did this mule have
“downtrodden” eyes, or “perky” ones?

We all know Jesus Christ was really cool, but was his
alter ego a whip-yielding mule-torturer? Grounds for
censoring the Bible itself, no?

Some people become submissive to popular, trendy
causes and are willing to assume the “yoke” for the
cause. Submissiveness and domination, mentally or
physically, is nothing new, and not going away. True, it’s
good to examine what we’re doing and give it a stamp of
approval, or not. But try to be more original and give all
your energy to one or two causes, where you will be
effective, and not ten zillion different causes every week,
depending on what was on “Geraldo” last.

I saw a female student walk through Campus Center,
stop, look at the video playing some ‘cruelty’ flick, say,
“Oh, Gross!”, then say, “Hey, Marcie, come here. Check
this out!”

Rick Swanson

Thanks for the coverage

To The Editor:

This letter is just to say thanks to Ray Rogers
(ASPects Editor ). I was glad that we were able to come
to some type of agreement. I'm referring to him
submitting our top ten list of Contemporary Soul songs
of 91FM WCDB.

My prior letter to the ASP last semester wasn't
intended to attack Ray, but to make him aware that there
is another group of students on campus that doesn't listen
to just rock music.

For years, the African-American students have been

ignored in certain areas. I guess I just got fed up. This is
just an example to all you other students to “wake up."
Just remember, "How you livin’. Ha!"
Jeffrey Hart
Director of Contemporary Soul

ASP Stats page is great!

To The Editor:

I most definitely enjoy the statistics page in the ASP. I
am aware of many of my friends who are interested in
the section. I feel it’s a great addition to the paper.

Rob Stone

Nazi experience scary

To The Editor:

The attack of Sharyn Rootenberg in Portobello Market
in London is profoundly disturbing. As Jews who have
suffered from the effects of anti-Semitism, we must
comfort those who have been disturbed—and we
ourselves must disturb those who are too comforted.

Unjustified hatred of racial, religious, or ethnic groups
can only be lessened through exposure to such groups
and to a continual, accurate portrayal of historical events
during the Second World War. With this in mind, let no
humane person forget the systematic mass murder of 6
million Jews under the guise of German nationalism. If
there is to be a reunified Germany, let the history books
reflect a world of many peoples that closed its eyes to
the horrors of the camps, for political as well as for
religious reasons.

As the next generation of leaders, let us remember and
remind our children. Let us maintain an accurate
chronicle of World War II history, ‘so that a Holocaust
will not happen again.

Sports pages improved

To The Editor:
I'm really glad that the ASP has decided to include a
intramural statistics page in the back of the ASP. I enjoy
looking forward to seeing how the rest of the league did
in the past week.
The sports pages are really looking great. I know I speak
for all of the intramural players, NBA and NHL stars
when I say, leave it in!

Expansion

Continued from page 3

With these alternatives in
mind, Butler said, President
O’Leary consulted the associates
of the architectural firm that built
this campus, Durrell Stone
Associates. They advised the
building of an entirely new
library, since the existing library
was land-locked and its
expansion would be disruptive to
surrounding academic
classrooms.

According to Butler, the plan
includes a two year construction
period. The new building would
be situated in the large field area
between Indian and Dutch
Quads. The existing building
would eventually be used for
academic space, Butler said.

“The planning horizon is five
years,” she said, “and the
Construction Fund has approved
that plan.”

One of the benefits of the
present library, Butler said, is its
central location. ““We thjnk that
the new location for the library
will also serve that purpose.”

“Part of the project that’s
related to the library,” Butler

said, “is the expansion of the
Campus Center.” The plan is to
construct two wings out from the
Campus Center in the direction
of the library, creating an interior,
she said.

Butler said she would like the
new library to offer more study
facilities, including group study
rooms and adequate study
facilities for faculty and graduate
students. She also said she hopes
to see the entire project
completed within five to ten
years.

Fraternities

Continued from front page
Pan Hellenic Council
organizations on the SUNYA
campus have been strained for
several years. He said the
incident was instigated by the
Omega pledges on orders from
their big brothers.

“It’s a shame that people had
to use their pledges to convey
their hostilities,” Espinosa said.
“It puts the pledges in the
predicament that if they don’t
[follow orders], they won’t get
in.” He also said he has no

animosity against the pledges
because “when you’re in that
State of mind, [the brother] can
say jump off a bridge and the
pledges will do it.”

Espinosa said he was “very
sorry” that his position as SA
President was compromised
somewhat by the incident. He
commented that at the next
meeting of the Pan Hellenic
Council, he is going to “call for
a show of unity,” and has
already met separately with
members of Omega Psi Phi to
end the differences.

Michael Logan, a member of
Omega Psi Phi who met with
Espinosa to patch up the
differences on Sunday, said late
Monday afternoon that he had
“no comment on the incident,”
adding that “when you have
isolated incidents, it can easily
be interpreted as an
organizational thing.”

Logan, who is Parliamentarian
of his chapter, commented that
he was out of town when the
incident took place and received
a phone call around 3 a.m. on
Sunday to come back to campus
immediately,

“I do not hold the line

(pledges) responsible for
anything that happened; they
shouldn’t be,” said Logan, who
has called on the other Pan
Hellenic organizations to end the
squabbling. Acknowledging that
the two organizations have not
held each other in a favorable
light, Logan said the fight “was
not an organizational thing,”
calling the altercation “poor
judgement on the part of the
individuals involved.”

Logan said “when someone
acts out, they are not upholding
the rules of their organization
and should be viewed as an
individual.” He also quipped that
the public is “too quick” to view
an incident between individuals
as a organizational altercation,
and non-Greeks should stay out
of Greek disputes,

Vice President for Student
Affairs Mitchel Livingston said
on Monday he would like to talk
to the leaders of the university’s
Greek organizations about their
“general disruptive behavior.”
He said in the past few weeks
there have been several incidents
involving Greeks and if
organizations cannot control
their behavior, the university will

have to take measures.

“I would like to say to the
organizations that they should
cool it,” said Livingston. “[The
organizations] have a
responsibility and you would
hope that people would be able
to act in an appropriate manner.”

One member of a Pan-
Hellenic Council organization
has already called for unity
between the groups, saying the
groups should have a mass
meeting to settle their
differences.

“On a positive level, we as
people need to come together,”
said Jeffrey Hart, a member of
the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
“These fights show how little
unity we have. Maybe all the
student leaders need is to come
together in one big mass
meeting and air out all their
problems.”

Hart said he would be willing
to work as a mediator for the
groups, and one way to end the
differences is to get “Greek
letter organizations at SUNYA
to keep their visiting members at
bay [when they] come up for
the weekend. He said the
visiting members “make it bad
for everyone else here... When
their visiting members go home,
we have to deal with what
happened.”

cure and the cause of AIDS.”
Archer said she believes that the
Red Cross is contradicting itself
by restricting Haitians and other
Africans, when more incidences
of AIDS occur in New York
State than any where else in the
world.

Nancy E. Young, R.N.,
director of Donor Services for
the Red Cross said she does not
feel the policies are biased. “We
are working with the best
information available, to ensure
the safety and integrity of the
blood supply,” she said.

Young also said there were
inaccuracies on the flyers the
students were distributing. The

flyer stated that you are at risk of
spreading AIDS if you had
visited Haiti, or Sub-Saharan
Africa.

Young said unless intimate
contact was made with a resident
of these areas during the visit,
just visiting would not defer
someone from donating blood,
however, a potential donor would
be deferred for six months after
they returned, to be sure that they
had not contracted malaria.

Young said she also believes
the statement on the flyer which
states “70 percent of reported
AIDS cases come from the U.S.,”
is misleading. This is because
AIDS is under reported in other
countries, she said.

“There is no substitute for
blood,” Young said. She also said

there was a lower turnout than
usual at the blood drive. She said
she believes the student’s actions
are directed at the wrong place,
because blood donated or not
donated is not going to change
FDA guidelines, however it may
affect someone in need of blood
tomorrow.

She said the student’s concems
must be addressed to the FDA,
where the recommendation
originated. She added that she
has talked to the Red Cross
National Headquarters, who will
in turn talk to the FDA, about the
students’ concerns. The student
groups are also talking to the
FDA about revising its

recommendations.

doesn’t happen too often,” Dean
Porter, activities coordinator at
the Albany Boys Club, said.
Porter said the kids are
disappointed when a program is
set up and the participating
student does not come in or call.
According to Fesser, there
have been a few personality
conflicts between students and
their supervisors, but they
usually surface in the mid-term
report. The situation is
confronted and resolved by the
student’s supervisor, the student
and the program director at
SUNY. “I am here as an
advocate for the students, but I
am also here to give the agency a

fair shake,” Fesser said.

The agencies are evaluated
each year by students, to make
sure the job descriptions are
accurate. “We don’t want
somebody who wants to be
involved in Public Relations
labeling envelopes,” Fesser said.

“The overall objective of the
program is to provide students
with an opportunity to become
involved in the community while
gaining practical personal
experience,” Sean Baker, a junior
at SUNYA, and a volunteer in
the program, said.

“A student learns there is
much more to an agency than
what they have come in contact
with,” Fesser said.

said.

He referred to an early 1970’s
study by Laud Humpreys that
reported on this phenomena,
calling it the “tea-room trade”,
because it was happening in,
among other places, gay tea
rooms. Bob said the research was
“completely unethical”, as
Humpreys would witness men
participating, follow them, record
their license plate, and later
interview them under the guise
collecting other, unrelated data.
He said he found that most of the
men had seemingly heterosexual
lives, many with wives and
families.

Bob: said that just as with
heterosexuals who use
anonymous sex (by soliciting a
prostitute or “collecting”
numerous, brief sexual
encounters) homosexuals who
use bathroom sex have not come
to terms with their sexual selves

It's anyone's ball game in this years tourney

By Mike Lopresti

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — So the college
basketball madness of March may begin,
and who should be smiling now that the
NCAA Tournament Committee
announced Sunday the bracket for the
Division I playoffs?

— Start with the Big Ten, which put an
unprecedented seven entrants into the 64-
team field, led by champion Michigan
State, No. 1 seed in the Southeast.

Computer ratings were why. Indiana
slumped to an 18-10 record and had an 8-
10 league mark to finish seventh. But the
Hoosiers were rated 16th in the nation on
the Sagarin computer ratings last week.
The committee noticed. Indiana not only
made the field, but was seeded a high
eighth in the East.

The Big East had six teams invited, the
Atlantic Coast Conference five.

— Add in the other three No. 1 seeds;
Big East winner Connecticut in the East,
Big Eight champion and top-ranked
Oklahoma in the Midwest and Big West
winner Nevada-Las Vegas in the West.

— All ticket holders in the Midwest
Region, which is clearly the toughest and
crammed with intriguing first-round
games. — And how about Southern
Mississippi? The 20-11 Golden Eagles
were the 34th and final at-large team
invited, the last survivor from the bubble.

“The decision on the last five to seven
teams was the most difficult process in
my five years (on the committee),”
chairman Jim Delany said.

“Strength of schedule is the core within
the decision-making process,” he said.

Brace for groans from Southern Illinois
and Maryland.

Southern Illinois’ 26-7 record was not
good enough. “One of the most agonizing
decisions,” committee member Tom
Frericks said.

Maryland (18-13) was rated 40th on the
Sagarin computer ratings, the best of any
team not to make the field. The Terrapins’
104-84 loss to Duke in the first round of
the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament
may have sunk them.

DePaul (18-14) beat Notre Dame (16-12)
twice. However, the Irish made it and the
Demons, with a lower computer ranking,
didn’t,

But for 64 teams, the trail begins. A look
at the first steps down the yellow brick
Toad:

EAST:

Connecticut not only was given the top
seed but-gets to play the first and second
rounds in nearby Hartford. No top or
second seed has ever lost a first game in
the NCAA tournament since it went to a
64-team format, and that isn’t likely to
change when Connecticut plays 16th seed
Boston University. The next game,
probably against Indiana, may be tricky.
There are not a lot of attractive
Cinderella-types in this region, which may
be the softest of the four.

BEST FIRST GAME: Alabama-
Birmingham vs. UCLA. Remember the
agony Gene Bartow went through trying
to replace John Wooden at UCLA? Now

he’ll take UAB against the Bruins.

SOUTHEAST:

Michigan State roared into the No. 1 by
winning the Big Ten, and takes its first
step against Murray State. The Spartans
then might have a tester with Houston.

Syracuse is No. 2 seed and, should the
Orangemen dispose of Coppin State,
might get a shot at revenge against 10th-
seeded Notre Dame, if the Irish beat
Virginia. Remember Digger Phelps
dancing after the Irish beat Syracuse on a
last-second shot? The Orangemen do.

Missouri is third seed, and Norm
Stewart's Tigers open against Northern

Towa, where he once coached in the
1960's.

His worry now, though, is that Missouri
has been playing terribly of late. This
region, in fact, is full of head cases. No. 5
seed is LSU, so talented and so
unproductive, No. 6 seed is Minnesota, a
bear at home and Goldilocks on the road.

BEST FIRST GAME: East Tennessee
State nearly beat Oklahoma last year
before losing by one. The Buccaneers are
back, seeded 13th, and will get a crack at
No. 4 seed Georgia Tech.

MIDWEST:

This area is, in a word, loaded,

Oklahoma is the hottest team going, and
the scoreboard may explode — at least on
the Sooners’ side — before they’re done
with Towson State.

But there is danger out there. Seven
teams from the AP top 25 are in this

Tegion.

Purdue, Georgetown, Arkansas, Illinois,
Xavier are the next five seeds. Down in
No. 8 is North Carolina, and No. 9 is
Southwest Missouri State, small of stature
but very large of potential with a 22-6
record,

Purdue gets a break, getting the first two
rounds in Indianapolis.

BEST FIRST GAME: Try fleet Arkansas
against slow-poke Princeton. Or surging
Dayton against Illinois. Or Dean Smith
and North Carolina against Southwest
Missouri State.

WEST:

Nevada Las Vegas and Arizona, the No.
1 and 2 seeds, have a rivalry growing in
heat, and could meet for the regional title
if they get that far.

Michigan and Louisville, seeded third
and fourth, give the region a talented look.
Louisville could have its hands full in in
its first game with 25-5 Idaho.

There is a dash of sad reality in the
region. Loyola-Marymount would have
been seeded very high with its 23-5
record. But Hank Gathers’ death was not
only a tragedy, but had to be soberly taken
into consideration by the committee.

So the Lions dropped to an 11th seed and
faced a rugged first game in 26-4 New
Mexico State in Long Beach.

BEST FIRST GAMES: Louisville vs.
Idaho, Ohio State vs. Providence.

TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 1990 ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

Students show Support in tourney game

By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER

Somebody is going to have to
find a new nickname for this
school. “SUNY Apathy” just
doesn’t seem to fit anymore. At
least it doesn’t to the 2,200 fans
who sold out University Gym
Friday night to witness the
Albany-North Adams NCAA
Division III Sectional game.

Despite the Danes falling on
the short end in a tightly
contested 69-66 game, the crowd
did not go away disappointed.

They were boisterous
throughout, in a rare display of
school spirit.

It’s not only that over 2,000
SUNY students paid to see the
game, it was the enthusiasm they
displayed. A half hour before the
game, chants of “A.S.U...A.S.U”
could be heard as far away as the
Campus Center. Most of the
Albany faithful did not sit down
until Alex McClearn put the
Danes on the scoreboard over
two minutes into the game, after
North Adams scored the game’s
first six points. After Andy
Goodmote’s eight points late in
the first half gave the Danes a
29-26 lead going into the
locker room, the team received a
minute ovation.

The North Adams contingent
consisted of an estimated 200
spectators. In a shameful display,
a few of these students threw
shoes at the Albany cheerleaders

when they were on the court
midway through the second half.
This led to a scuffle in the stands
that delayed the game for over
five minutes.

Despite trailing by 13 points
with under four minutes
remaining, not a single spectator
left as the student body
remaining loyal. They were
rewarded by a furious Albany
comeback keyed by
Goodemote’s seven points in the
final two minutes. This brought
University Gym to a new
ferverous pitch, though the
comeback fell three points short,

After over 1,500 jammed into
University Gym for last week’s
season finale vs R.P.I., and the
Danes beat arch-rival Potsdam
in their first NCAA playoff
game in five years, the word
broke out that the Albany
basketball game was “the place
to be” Friday night.

On a campus that can be
ghostly quiet on weekends, and
without much enthusiasm for
their sports teams, the
excitement in Friday’s game was
very refreshing, according to the
players.

“It’s great to see everyone
come out and support us like
this,” Albany center Michael
Shene said. “I hated to
disappoint them by losing, but
hopefully with us making the
NCAA tournament it will give

them a reason to come back.”

Chances are, judging by the
students’ reactions after the
game, that they will indeed be
back in greater numbers next
season.

“Tt_ is nice to see them go this
far. I'll be back next year to
watch them,” sophomore
spectator Andy Hoffman said.

Many fraternities were in
attendance with their faces
decorated in Albany purple and
gold. Craig Rosensweig, a

was a lot of school spirit tonight
at the game. There is no better
way to develop school spirit than
watching quality sports teams
like this.”

“Tt’s nice to see the student

senior forward Dennis Walker
said. “I think, in general, the
crowds have been larger this
year and hopefully that trend
will continue.”

What the future holds is a new
5,000 seat field house that will
open in a couple of years on
campus. Albany will probably
move to Division I, and may
someday be playing home
games at the new 15,500 seat
Knickerbocker Arena.

For next season, Shene and
McClearn will lead another
strong Albany team. That could
create enough excitement for the
many sports-thirsty fans in the
student body.

Danes fall to Corsairs in uninspired consolation game

By Wayne Stock
SPORTS EDITOR

This one shouldn’t even have been
played. Southeastern Massachusetts
defeated Albany 92-91 in the consolation
game of the Sectionals, in a game that
exhibited, for the most part, as much
excitement and intensity as watching your
hairline recede.

“T don’t think it’s (consolation game) a
good idea,” SMU head coach Brian
Baptiste said. “They should do away with
aL

“The whole competitive edge is off,”
Albany head coach Dick Sauers said.

“The game is meaningless.”

But nonetheless it was played. Trailing
92-83 with just over a minute to go, the
Danes rattled off eight straight points.
The game ended when sophomore guard
Ed Feller’s three-point attempt from the
left corner with three seconds remaining
clanked off the back rim.

The Corsairs let the Danes back in the
game by missing the front end of four
consecutive one-and-one attempts in the
final minute.

Albany forward Dennis Walker nailed
a trifecta from the right corner with seven
seconds remaining to pull the Danes to
within one.

“(The players) got a lot of heart. We
weren’t getting many breaks,” Sauers
said.

SMU sophomore forward Brian
Ingram was the game’s high scorer with

_ 23 points. Ingram also had 10 boards. 6-8
junior center Waldemar Sender added 22
points and nine rebounds for the
Corsairs.

Alex McCleam led the Danes with 22
points and had a game high 16 rebounds.
Shene added 17 points and 15 boards.

Albany was once again on the short
end of the stick in size, as SMU boasts
six players over 6-4.

Soviet boxers to make U.S. debut on

By STEVE SNEDDON

RENO, Nev. — Not only are the
Russians coming, they’ve got the
beachhead picked out.

The long-awaited professional debut of
boxers from the Soviet Union will come
March 27 on a USA cable network-
televised card at Bally’s Reno Resort.

They could range in age from 21 to 32.
Most are on the old side for pro debuts.

But they’re getting shots at something
that the boxing greats and the mediocre in
the Soviet Union never got.

“Before, they fought for medals,” said
Boris Gitman, the Soviet emigre who
trains the fighters. “Now, they fight for
money. Now, they have the opportunity to
get ri

Most won’t.

But Gitman, who came to Canada in
1981, said they already have more than
the best and the mediocre who preceded
them in Soviet boxing. Glasnost has given

them a new chance.

The Soviet boxers started arriving and
training in Canada and the United States
last December. It’s a larger invasion force
for the first landing than initially planned.

Lou Falcigno, the New York promoter
for the Soviet boxers, said 10 of the
Soviets will face North American fighters
in the bouts at Bally’s Reno.

And he wants them to fight stand-up
guys in the bouts scheduled for four and
six rounds.

“The guys who win have more promise
than the guys who lose. There could be
extenuating circumstances, but I’m most
interested in the guys who win. I don’t
expect them all to win.”

Falcigno is no philanthropist giving a
helping hand to some farm boys from the
Ukraine or dockworkers from the Baltic
republics.

His Russian tour — six monthly cards
on the USA network beginning in Reno

— is big business.

“USA is the most highly-watched cable
network,” he said. “I hope to get a lot of
people watching them. I want people to
follow these Russians. That’s the only
way you make money.

“Tf I get one or two of these guys in pay
per views, it’s worth millions — no, it’s
worth tens of millions. If Yuri Vaulin
fights Mike Tyson, that’s no
exaggeration.”

Vaulin (26, 6-foot-4, 210 pounds), the
Artemiev brothers (lightweight Sergei,
21, and junior lightweight Alexander, 23)
have the best shots at winning world
championships, according to Falcigno.

Gitman isn’t as sure there’s a world
champion in this bunch. That’s what six
months of fights on the USA network are
all about. Finding one or two.

“These guys are just the beginning,” he
said. “We will find really good boys.
These boys aren’t bad,

“Russia has over 12,000 full-time

outsized all year,” Sauers said. “We were
trying to neutralize their big guys.”

“We capitalized on our inside game,”
Baptiste said. “We’ve been doing that all
year, we just tried to emphasize it.”

The Danes will lose six to graduation
this year. They are: Andrew Goodemote,
Stephen Mulderry, Dennis Walker,
Dennis Cutts, Stephen Sauers and Ryan
Schoenfeld.

Michael Shene, Jeff Farnsworth, Feller
and McClearn will head the list of the
returnees.

“Doc” Sauers completes his 34th year
as coach of Albany with 580 victories and
eight 20-win seasons.

March 27th

coaches and over 300,000 boxers. Can
you imagine? There’s a lot of
opportunities to choose the greats.”

All 12 Soviet boxers preparing to begin
their pro careers won national
championships. Vaulin was a World Cup
champion in 1987.

Junior welterweight Igor Ruznikov,
who will be on the Reno card, won a
world amateur title last year.

“It’s hard to say if we have any
(professional) world champions,” Gitman
said. “In the gym, everybody’s good,
especially on the punching bag. We have
to see them in action. We have to see
them against real professionals.”

They come with gaudy records
compiled as amateurs. Records such as
Vaulin's 227-30 are commonplace.

“Frankly, all of these records are
suspect,” Falcigno said. “I get different
counts every time I talk to somebody
else.”

Mohawks scalp Danes in Sectionals

North Adams State eliminates Albany before Capacity crowd in University Cre

By Wayne Stock
SPORTS EDITOR

Albany’s quest for a trip to the Final
Four hit a brick wall Friday night during
the Sectional round of the NCAA
Division III Tournament. The wall’s
name was Bernard Alexander.

Alexander, North Adams’ 6-5 senior
center dropped in 21 points, including 14
in the second half, and pulled down 12
rebounds to lead the Mohawks to a 69-66
victory over the Great Danes in
University Gym.

The loss ended Albany’s first NCAA
Tournament in five years, leaving them
with a 20-8 record. North Adams (23-5,
eighth in the nation) ended their season
the next night, falling to Rochester 50-47
in the East/Northeast Sectional finals

Leading 29-26 at halftime, Albany
(20-9, 18th in the nation) opened up the
second stanza by scoring the first five
points. Senior guard Andy Goodemote
capped off the run at 18:39 by converting
one of two free throws coming off a
technical foul on Mohawk point guard
Phil Bledsoe.

Following a 17 foot jumper by
Goodemote, the Mohawks went on a 16-
2 run to take a 48-41 lead.

“We weren’t executing well,” Albany
head coach Dick Sauers said. “We
should’ve been able to keep the lead.”

Andre Washington started the spurt by
driving the right side for a lay-up.
Alexander sent home a three-pointer at
the top of the key to cut the lead to 39-37
at 15:32.

The Mohawks took the lead to stay,
42-41, following an 18 foot jumper by
Alexander at 14:00. K.J. Wallace
followed with a 10 foot jumper and
Rodney Stephens hit two more
successive jump shots for a 48-41 lead.

“Tt was a matter of just tuming it on,”
North Adams’ head coach Al Sokaitis
said. “It had been easy to score early, and
then we started to go one pass and
shoot.”

The Mohawks extended their lead to
60-47, after Washington followed up an
errant shot by Stephens with 3:55
remaining.

Goodemote, however, would not let
Albany die. The 6-1 senior guard canned
a jumper just inside the three-point arc
and then hit a trifecta from the right side
of the key, to cut the lead to six.
Goodemote finished with a team high 20
points, going 8 for 11 from the floor.

Albany guard Ed Feller brought the
Danes to within four after he drove the
lane for a lay-up at 1:05.

Washington sealed the victory for
North Adams by hitting both ends of a
one-and-one at :30.

“T think we just upped our play another
level and took it right at them,” Bledsoe
said. Bledsoe was 4 for 9 from the floor
with 12 points.

The vociferous sold out crowd of 2,200
had its effect on Albany early in the first
half. The Mohawks opened up the game
with a 10-2 run, and it didn’t seem as if
the Danes were even going to make this a
contest.

“We don’t usually see a crowd that
big,” senior point guard Stephen Muldery
said. “It made us play up-tempo in the
beginning.”

Albany took their first lead of the game
with 1:58 remaining in the first half on a
Dennis Walker lay-up. After an exchange
of three-pointers, Goodemote hit two
from the charity stripe for a 29-26
halftime lead.

North Adams shot 51% from the field,
helped by many second and third shot
attempts by Alexander. Albany
sophomore Alex McClearn had his
problems with the Mohawks’ big man.

“Tt was pretty tough playing him down
low,” McCleam said. “I was denying him
pretty well until he started shooting from
outside.”

“The big difference was Alexander
and the second shots he was getting,”
Sauers said.

Albany shot 46% from the floor but

was hampered by missed lay-ups. Junior
center Michael Shene had a solid 12
point, nine rebound performance, but
blew a few open lay-ups.

This game marked the third appearance
of Albany in the round 16 under the
leadership of Sauers. They have never
made the round of eight.

Rochester headed to Final Four after victory

Nationally unranked Yellowjackets defeat North Adams in Sectional final to advance

By Wayne Stock
SPORTS EDITOR
Sophomore center Chris Fite put in 24 points,
including 10 for 10 from the charity stripe, and pulled
down 12 rebounds to lead the Rochester Yellowjackets
to a 50-47 victory over the North Adams State Mohawks
on Saturday in the East/Northeast Sectional finals.
Rochester’s victory in University Gym advances them
to the Final Four where they will meet Washington (24-
5).

“Coming in I felt we were good enough to play
anyone there is,” Rochester head coach Mike Neer said.

The Yellowjackets (25-5) built their biggest lead of
the game, 23-13, with 3:45 remaining in the first half on
a three-pointer by junior forward Greg Krohner.

North Adams (23-5, eighth in the nation) cut the lead
to 27-25 at 16:26 of the second half on an 18 foot
jumper by senior center Bernard Alexander.

Alexander picked up his fourth personal foul with

9:05 remaining and was taken out of the game.

He returned at the 6:11 mark.
“(Alexander) concerned me,” Neer said. “During

warm-ups we watched him, I don’t think he missed a
shot for four minutes.”

The Yellowjackets opened up a 46-39 lead with 1:37
remaining on two Fite free-throws. North Adams
marched back with a 6-0 spurt to pull within one.

Andre Washington started the run by hitting both ends
of a one-and-one. Senior guard Phil Bledsoe then scored
on a lay-up off his own steal. Following another
turnover by Rochester, Bledsoe canned two from the
charity stripe at :54.

“We made some bad turnovers by spreading the
floor,” Neer said.

Down 50-47 with two seconds remaining, the
Mohawks lost the ball out of bounds. Washington stole
the inbound pass in his own backcourt and heaved a
one-handed 60 foot prayer too hard off the backboard.

“T expected a modestly low scoring game,” Neer said.
“Our first shot defense was outstanding.”

“We didn’t know much about them,” Fite, the
tournament MVP said. “We just played our game.”
Alexander led the Mohawks in scoring and

rebounding with 16 and eight, respectively. Sophomore
forward Rodney Stephens added 11. Senior Chris
Johnson chipped in 10 for Rochester.

North Adams shot a poor 32.7% from the floor.
Bledsoe, the Mohawks’ leading scorer this season, went 3
for 16 from the field with eight points.

The Yellowjackets have come a long way in this
tournament. Unseeded nationally, and given the fourth
seed in the East region, Rochester defeated Nazareth in
the opening round of the tourney. They then upset
Buffalo State, the fourth ranked team in the nation, in
Buffalo. The Yellowjackets followed this by beating
Southeastern Massachusets, the 15th ranked team in the
country, in the Sectional semi-finals.

In addition to Fite, voted to the all-tournament team
were Rochester’s Chris Johnson, Alexander, Albany’s
Michael Shene and Southeastern Massachusetts’ Bevin
Ingram.

Rochester will face Washington in the National Semi-
finals on Friday, in Ohio. Calvin faces De Pauw in the
other semi-final.
