The Alarm to headline at Mayfest

By Merri Berlin
STAFF WRITER

Mayfest organizers have announced that
the Alarm and John Cafferty and ‘the
Beaver Brown Band are scheduled to ap-
pear at this year’s event, although there is
a possibility that Mayfest might be “‘dry.””

According to University Concert Board
(UCB) chair Marc Seligson, an opening
band has yet to be chosen.

Because of the new drinking age,
Seligson said, Mayfest organizers are
seriously considering a ‘‘beer gardens,’’ an
enclosed area in which only those 21 and
older can drink but ‘“‘but we’re waiting for
the state to approve our liquor license.”’

In addition to the liquor license, legal in-
surance must also be obtained by Mayfest
co-sponsers UCB and Student Associa-
tion, before beer can be served, said
Seligson. This insurance will provide
coverage for SA and UCB in the case of an
accident.

According to SA Programming Director
Betty Ginzberg, SA and UCB still have to
get an open container permit, a wine and
beer permit, and the liquor legal insurance.

Ginzburg said that bureaucratic red tape
and an unwillingness of insurance com-
panies to cover Mayfest are the reasons for
the current hold up, but SA is “‘trying to
get things finalized as soon as possible.”

Because of the delays with the permits
and insurance, Ginzburg said, ‘‘to the best
of my knowledge, we haven’t'signed con-
tracts with any band. We have made oral
agreements, but we can’t sign contracts
until we know what is going on with

Rock group The Alarm

Mayfest.””

“We didn’t foresee the insurance pro-
blems,”’ said Ginzburg, ‘‘and SA has: had
to present proposals to the University in
the chance that the permits and insurance
are not obtained. Such proposals include a
“dry” or ‘‘bring-your-own-bottle”’ type of
event.

Ginzburg said that she is very optimistic
that Mayfest will not be cancelled, but that
the problems of permits and insurance are
still a stumbling block. “‘Yesterday it look-
ed bad, today it looked better, and tomor-
row is another day,”’ she said.

How to view Halley’s comet locally

By Rene Babich
‘STAFF WRITER

Students hoping to catch a glimpse of
Halley’s Comet should have mom or dad
send up the family binoculars as its prime
viewing stage approaches.

Halley’s Comet can be best seen in the
Albany area around mid-April, according
to SUNYA‘s Physics professor Keith
Ratcliff, and the clearest view in the area

would be outside the city of Albany.

Physics professor Harold Story said that
if viewers are away from city lights and a
lot of trees, the comet can be visible to the
naked eye. One would have to have a
“good view of the Southern horizon’’ and
can find it just ‘east of south, and not too
high in the sky.”

Ratcliff added that the best way to see

ERICA SPIEGEL UPS

Physics professors Harold Story and Keith Ratcliff

Mid-April is the best time to view the comet from Albany.

Halley’s Comet would be with binoculars,
and not a telescope, because binoculars
privide a wider field of vision. ‘You want
to know where to look ahead of time,”
said Ratcliff, ‘‘because if you just gaze
around the sky you won’t find it.””

1 he comet’s brightness is currently at its
peak and can be best seen at around 4:30
a.m.. But, it is very low on the horizon and
from our area, only the comet’s trail can
be seen.

Story said that becuase comets travel in
elliptical orbits opposite that of the
planets, they can only be seen when they
are closest to the sun. It takes Halley’s
Comet 75 to 76 years to reach this point.

On April 12, the best time to. see
Halley’s comet is at about 1 a.m. and on
April 16 the best time is 11:03 p.m..

“If it’s cloudy outside, go back to bed,”
said Ratcliff, explaining that ‘‘even if there
is a break in the clouds, it will be too hard
to see.””

According to Story, the comet is aprox-
imately 100,000 Kilometers across with an
irregular shaped nucleus that is about five
by eight Kilometers across. Little imfor-
mation was known about the nucleus until
recently reported evidence was uncovered
by three space-crafts, which examined the
comet more closely.

Russian spacecrafts, Vega I and Vega II
and the European Space Agency’s Giotto,
brought back information that was both
supportive and contrary to current
theories.

Both Halley’s Comet’s presumed size
and also the ‘“‘dirty snowball theory’
which states that its nucleus consists of
tightly packed ice and snow particles were
supported by the new information. The

Council to keep
SA nominations
open until Wed.

By Jeanie Fox
STAFF WRITER

A misprint in the Student Association
nomination forms has forced Central
| Council to extend the deadline for the
forms from today until Wednesday
April 9.

An emergency meeting of Central
Council was called by SA President
Steve Gawley Thursday night after it
was learned that the distibuted forms
listed an April 11 deadline instead of
today.

The proposal to change the deadline
to Wednesday, April 9 was passed
unanimously by the 21 Central Council
members present.

Central Council Chair Bill McCann,
said SA canidates were being given
copies of last years’ nomination ballot
by mistake. Last year the deadline was a
week later than the deadline proposed
for this year, April 4.

“To rectify the situation nominations
will carry over to next Wednesday April
9th and the elections will be scheduled
for the original dates of April 14 and
15,” said McCann.

‘New ‘nomination ballots with the
correct deadline are being printed. They
will be given out starting Friday, April
4, and hopefully through sufficent
advertising people who already have the
nominations will learn about the
change,’’ added McCann. |

Vice-Chair of Internal Affairs Steve |
Landis added that there were also three
other mistakes on the ballot.

“The number of canidates eligble for

Peres proposes plan

Tel Aviv, Israel
(AP) The United States could take a step
toward peace in the Middle East if it in-
vested in a multibillion-dollar economic
aid program for the Middle East, similar
to the ‘‘Marshall Plan,” Israeli Prime
Minister Shimon Peres said yesterday.

Peres, in an interview on NBC-TV’s
“Today” show, said the Middle East is
facing three major problems — the conti-
nuing conflict between Israel and the Arab
countries, the war between Iran and Iraq
and a foundering economy.

The most overriding of the three is the
economic situation, he said.

“Tf you want to guarantee the supply of
oil in the future, if you really want a stable
Middle East, you should invest not only in
the refineries and the pipelines, but you
should invest in the political infrastruc-
ture,’’ Peres said.

TWA plane bombed

Athens
(AP) The blast that tore through a TWA
jet over Greece ripped off a boy’s

wristwatch, shattered glass and punched a

hole in the plane’s side through which four
American passengers vanished. ‘There
was a big bang and then the man beside me
was blown out along with his seat,”
Ibrahim al Nami, 29, recalled. “I felt
myself being pulled out, too, and I hung
on to my wife’s seat beside me.”

The Boeing 727, despite the gap in its
side, landed minutes later in Athens--the
original destination on the Wednesday
flight. Those sucked from the plane in-
cluded an American man, two women and
a baby. Al Nami, of Saudi Arabia, was
among the seven people injured, including
four Americans. Other passengers said
they were terrified that more explosions
might follow.

Astronauts complain

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Astronauts, the biggest risk takers in
space flight, are taking complaints to the
presidential Challenger commission about
the shuttle’s brakes, survival procedures
and the dangers of landing on a three mile
long concrete runway in Florida.
The best known of the witnesses called
to the panel’s public hearing Thursday was
John Young, whose six space flights make

2 aa ae,

him the most experienced American
astronaut. He charged recently, in two
highly publicized memos, that NASA put
“launch schedule pressure’’ above safety.
Before that, according to a source close
to the commission, Young had voiced con-
cerns about flight safety to Vice President
George Bush, who relayed them to the in-
vestigating panel. Young and Bush had a
space to ground conversation during the
first shuttle flight and met several times at
the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Wallace legacy felt

Montgomery, Alabama
(AP) Goy. George C. Wallace’s farewell to
politics ended nearly two decades of
Statehouse power but may not remove the
Wallace factor from this year’s guber-
natorial election. A handful of Democrats
running in the June 3 primary are angling
for pieces of the splintering Wallace coali-
tion or asserting themselves as alternatives
to the Wallace machine that helped launch
four presidential campaigns.

“T think we’ve been in a political freezer
for the past 25 years,’’ said former Lt.
Gov. George McMillan, who narrowly lost
to Wallace four years ago but in recent
polls has trailed two or three others in a
crowded Democratic field. ‘‘Had he not
been in Alabama politics, I think we would
have eventually had a new breed of pro-
gressive, New South governors.”

Cuomo hears advice

Albany
(AP) Gov. Mario Cuomo says he’s been
advised to forgo a re-election bid this year
and begin a run for the White House. For
the moment, the New York Democrat
won’t say if he’ll heed that advice. He does
say that it’s unlikely.

“We have received calls,”’said the New
York governor Wednesday. ‘‘I wouldn’t
want it to sound dramatic and it’s not new,
but I mean it’s happened.”?

Cuomo said the advice that he skip the
1986 governor’s race and concentrate win-
ning the 1988 Democratic presidential
nomination was coming from outside his
circle of close advisers.

“T get a lot more from the outside than
from the inside,”’ said Cuomo. “As a mat-
ter of fact, I get nothing from my own peo-
ple. That’s probably because they know I
don’t want to get anything from my own
Ppeople.’’

Oil prices decline

z New York
(AP) Oil prices have continued their erratic
performance, rising more than a dollar,
then dropping after Reagan administration
officials denied that Vice President George
Bush would seek Saudi Arabian help in
stabilizing the market.

Among May contracts for refined pro-
ducts, unleaded gasoline rose nearly 3
cents to 41 cents a gallon before dropping
back to close at 39.75 cents, up a penny
from Tuesday.

Bush told reporters Tuesday that he
planned to tell Saudi officials during a trip
this weekend that U.S. security is being
threatened by the stresses put on the
American oil industry by the continuing
Price free fall.

Town judge censored

Albany
(AP) A town justice in Rensselaer County
showed poor judgment by seeking
favorable treatment for his son on a
Speeding ticket, but removal from office is
too harsh a penalty, New York’s top court

Tuled yesterday.

In its 6-0 decision, the Court of Appeals
said Stephentown Justice Wesley Edwards
should be censured, a penalty that
amounts to an official slap on the wrist.

Edwards, a non lawyer who has been a
judge for 22 years, had appealed a decision
by the state Commission on Judicial Con-
duct. It had voted,7-3, to remove him
from office.

The judge admitted that he had con-
tacted Schuyler Town Court Justice Leon
Cioch about a speeding ticket Edwards’
son, Gregory, received.

Students to vote on $3 SA activity fee increase

By Ilene Weinstein
NEWS EDITOR

SUNYA students will vote on a referen-
dum in the upcoming Student Association
election that calls for a $3 increase in the
mandatory student activity fee to fund
athletic teams’ post-season play.

Wednesday’s Central Council approved
the referendum on the election ballot after
a lengthy debate and a final vote of 24-7.

A similar referendum to increase the ac-
tivity fee by an additional $2 in order to
create a Capital Development Fund failed
to make it to the ballot by a vote of
14-10-4,

A capital development fund would have
financed any future repairs needed on
SA’s or SA’s funded groups’ equipment
that has not yet been budgeted for.

The student activity fee for 1985-86 is
$100, and is paid by about 9300 SUNYA
students. A $3 increase would raise about
$27,900 for the athletic teams.

The current financing of post-season
athletic play is through the Post-
Contingency Fund, which represents about
$10,000 in ‘‘funny money.” This is the
“amount of money Council said [at the
beginning of last semester] that they would
go into the hole’’ for post-season games,
said SA Controller Eric Schwartzman.

The fund covers the food, transporta-
tion and lodging costs of sending those
who qualify to compete in the playoff
games.

Central Council had to approve an addi-
tional appropriation of $19,000 in
February for the University’s winter
athletic teams’ post-season play, when
most of the teams were represented in the

playoffs.

Past Post-Contingency Funds have been
appropriated. from SA budget surpluses.
The surplusses have, however,
deteriorated, said Schwartzman, because
SA has had several deficits in the last ten
years.

Schwartzman said that the previous SA
administration could have budgeted real
money for the Post-Contingency Fund,
but chose not to. “‘They were afraid [SA]
groups would scream”’ if money was taken
away from these groups to go into the
athletics, he said.

“You're going to hear screams like you
never heard them before’ when groups
find out how much has been cut from next
year’s proposed budget to make up for this
year’s deficit, said Schwartzman.

“This is one of the more critical issues
before us this semester,”’ said Inter-
collegiate Athletics Committee Chair
Mark Rivers during the debate on the
referendum. ‘‘Let the students decide” if
the activity fee should be raised, he said.

SUNYA is one of the few schools where
students attend athletic games for free,
said Rivers, adding that he would not like
to see an admission fee in order to raise the
funds for post-season play.

Several Council members, however, did
not agree with putting the referendum on
the ballot, and proposed cutting money
from groups’ budgets instead.

“Don’t pad the budget. Don’t take the
easy way out,’ warned Council member
Mike Brocci.

The budget does not have to be raised,
but instead funds can be redistributed, said
Academic Affairs Committee Chair Mike

for an increased student activity fee.
Miller.

Internal Affairs Committee Chair
Nathaniel Charny said that he’s ‘tired of
raising the activity fee.’’ When a referen-
dum is put before the students, that is not
“giving [the choice] to the students’’
because only about 1600 people come out
to vote in the elections each year, he said.

While most Council members agreed
with Schwartzman about the post-season
referendum, the Capital Development
Fund was less successful.

‘Capital development is important, and
so is long-range planning,” said Charny,

Central Council members voted to place a referendum on this year’s ballot calling

LYNN DREIFUS UPS

who voted against both referendums. “‘But
where the money comes from is more
important.”

Schwartzman said that the referendum
failed because Council members are not
thinking ‘‘in long-range terms,” but in-
stead ‘‘one to two years’’ down the road.
“*You cannot take more money away from
the groups,” he said.

According to Schwartzman, about
$7,000 had to be taken out of next year’s
proposed budget to pay for new projectors
for University Cinemas, an expenditure
that would have been covered by the
Capital Development Fund. Q

Kellman severs ties with Univ. after job disputes

By Evelyn Snitofsky
STAFF WRITER

Due to a conflict over job respon-
sibilities, Rabbi Jay Kellman resigned as
advisor to the Jewish Students Coalition
(JSC) as of March 22. Kellman also step-
ped down from his posts as Executive
Director of the Campus Commission and
as a member of Chapel House.

Barbara Berkun, co-chair of the Cam-
pus Commission, an agency of the Albany
Jewish Federation, said Kellman’s resigna-
tion was prompted by ‘‘differences in opi-
nion on the commission’s policy on’cam-
pus and how it should be implemented.”

She said discrepancies arose as to ‘how
the director is supposed to behave and how
we (the Commission) are supposed to
behave in reference to him.””

Kellman said tension began building
some time after he had begun sharing the
ISC office in the Campus Center following

Among SUNYA’s ‘army’ of spring-
breakers who hit the Florida beaches
last week was MT V-Newsweek on Cam-
pus “Spring Fling Contest” winner
Mike Cristina.

Although Cristina was a recipient of
free backstage passes to a Hooter’s con-
cert, free hotel accomodations and cash,
he said he considered his vacation much
like that of the 400,000 other student
springbreakers.

During his four-day stay at the
Daytona Hilton, Cristina said he
became friends with the members of the
MTV crew, who ‘‘went out of their way
when they didn’t have to’’ in order to
make his trip a success.

Cristina, who said Florida ‘‘was the
last place I would have thought of go-
ing” in a radio interview on WWZN-
Albany, added he had ‘‘no regrets”
about vacationing in Daytona. “‘It’s not
what I thought it would be,’’ said

the fire at Chapel House last May. “I
thought we had a happy arrangement until
the administration of JSC changed
hands,” said Kellman. ‘‘The new board
wanted me out of the office physically and
spiritually. It was here today, gone
tommorrow.”

“Jay Kellman resigned because of a con-
flict with the Campus Commission,”’ said
JSC President Ron Symons. He refused to
comment further on the matter.

Andrea Aronofsky, co-chair of JSC’s
membership committee, said ‘‘We wanted
Jay to relocate and he didn’t like the idea.
He was turning the office into more his
than our’s.””

Kellman said that the previous JSC
President Eliot Frome had agreed to allow
him to occupy the inner office.

Once there, Kellman said he fixed up the
office, provided a phone, and provided the
personnel to keep the office open more

In addition to backstage passes at the
Hooter’s show, Cristina also re-
scheduled his flight for a later date and
time and made it back stage for the Mr.

MTV broadcasted live from Florida
during spring break and Cristina ap-
peared to introduce a video in the top
twenty video countdown. ‘‘People were
doing anything to get on TV,” said

hours. ‘‘I was never toid there was a pro-
blem with my presence in the office until I
was asked to leave,” said Kellman.

“The Chapel House fire created too
much dependence on the advisor
(Kellman),”’ said Frome. ‘‘A lot of times
students were relying on him too heavily.”’
Frome could not be reached for further
comment.

Part of his responsibility as advisor, said
Kellman, was to decide how Commission
money should be spent on a day-to-day
basis.

Co-chair of Students for Israel, Mike
Altman, said there was some question as to
how Kellman was using the Commission’s
funds. Kellman had begun Mitzvah Corp,
an outreach program for assimilated Jews
on campus, said Altman. He added that
there was a question as to whether Mitzvah
Corp was drawing funds and programm-
ing away from JSC.

Cristina. ‘People were going crazy .””

People were covered from head-to-toe
with MTV stickers trying to get on the
air, said Cristina.

The majority of his $100 cash prize
was spent on transport said Cristina. ‘‘I
spent most of it just getting to the plane.
I gave my friend some, but not much.””
And what about the rest of the cash
gift? ‘‘Booze,’’ he said.

According to Cristina, the bar scene
was very active. “They didn’t proof
very hard,”’ said the 20-year old junior.

Although Cristina described the
weather as ‘‘cold”’ at first, he sported a
dark tan.

Before winning the contest, Cristina
planned a ski trip for the break. “‘I had
a chance to go skiing” while in Florida
on a snow machine run but he resisted
the temptation, he said.

Cristina, who said he was told he is in-
eligible to compete in MTV contests for
two years, plans to keep competing in
contests. Qa

However Kellman said ‘‘Mitzvah Corp
was not taking away from JSC. But JSC
feared potential competition from Mitzvah
Corp.”

“There was a limit to what JSC was will-
ing and could afford to do ,” said
Kellman. ‘‘People were approaching me
with ideas for things to do. There are very
teal voids that need to be filled on campus,
and Mitzvah Corp was.trying to provide a
Jewish social service to fill some voids,”
he said.

Individual programming was done
through Mitzvah Corp because JSC lacked
the funds needed to provide services such
as visiting nursing homes with Jewish pa-
tients, said Kellman.

“Things need to be done, and as a pro-
fessional I can’t sit still and only do things
through JSC,” said Kellman. He said he
would expand and include services like
Mitzvah Corp.

Student may sue Univ. for run-in with bus driver

By Angelina Wang
STAFF WRITER

SUNYA’s Physical Plant
department is being threatened
with a small claims court suit by a
student whose watch was damag-
ed when a university bus driver
closed a bus door on his arm.

Student Stuart Waxman said he
was trying to board a SUNYA bus
parked at the administration cir-
cle, March 11, when the driver
said ‘I’m pulling up’ and proceed-
ed to close the door on his arm.
“He (the driver) didn’t realize my
arm was in the door,’’ said
Waxman.

It wasn’t until after Waxman
ran with the bus for 10 to 15 feet,
in addition to banging on the bus
door that the driver finally stop-
ped, he said.

“He started yelling at me --
“Why did you leave your hand in
the door?’” said Waxman. He
added that the face of his watch
was crushed and that his wrist was
scraped.

However, University officials
at the Physical Plant have decided
not to replace Waxman’s watch.

Waxman made a complaint
against the driver to transporta-
tion director Arthur Burt, who in
turn referred the case to Meg
Beidl, Assistant Director of the
Physical Plant.

Waxman said he wants a new
watch and a written apology from
the bus driver. ‘I brought over a
witness, a written statement, arid
the broken watch,” he said.

Waxman said he wants an
apology because ‘“‘the bus driver
was very arrogant. I don’t think
its a big deal for a $20 watch and
an apology,’’ he said.

Beidl said that in order for
Waxman’s watch to be replaced,
negligence would have to have
been proven on the part of the
driver. ‘We don’t pay bus drivers
to shut doors on students’
hands,“ said Beidl. ‘‘This is one
of those confusing situations
where both parties mistook what
the other was going to do,”’ she
added.

According to Beidl, the driver
said that Waxman ran up to the
bus yelling ‘‘Don’t leave me’’ and
the driver told him not to get on
because he was moving to make

room for another bus. ‘‘Whether
Stuart didn’t hear,
know,” said Beidl.

Two witnesses corroborated
that a heated conversation ensued
between Waxman and the driver.

Beidl said the decision not to
replace the watch was made in
consultation with Dennis Stevens,
Director of the Physical Plant, on
the basis of the driver’s state-
ment, Waxman’s statement, and
two other witnesses.

“There are many sides to
everything,’ said Beidl, adding
that Waxman’s running 10 to 15

I don’t,

feet was not contained in nis com-
plaint. “In fact, one of the
students mentioned Stuart was
rather heated in talking with the
driver,” said Beidl.

“We want to be fair too. . .-but
it didn’t quite happen the way
Stuart says. We try to get the
story straight so no one gets
hurt,” said Beidl.

Beidl said the situation took
place very quickly. ‘‘Our driver
was slightly shaken up,”’ she said.
“Tt wasn’t intentional. We are
sorry Stuart’s watch got broken.
It was an unfortunate occur-

“I want to make everyone
aware of what system we
have here.’”’

Waxman said, “I want to make
everybody aware of what system
we have here. If nothing ’s done,
T’ll see them in small claims
court.”” Waxman added, “It’s his
word against my word.”

According to Stevens, small
claims court won’t do Waxman
any good. He said they would
follow a university small claims
Procedure instead.

Beidl said this procedure entails

Stevens refused to reveal the
identity of the bus driver because
he didn’t want “‘to subject a bus
driver to any extra unneeded
Pressure.” He added, ‘‘I don’t
find any negligence on the part of
the driver.””

Stevens said the issue here was
not Waxman’s threat, but “the
issue is of credibility and exactly
what happened.” According to
Stevens, a letter written by one of
Waxman’s witnesses differs from
Waxman’s story. The other
witness claimed Waxman ran up
and stuck his hand through the
door, Stevens said.

“The driver is a profesional
who works hard everyday of the

people leave,” said Stevens. “It
may not have happened exactly as

According to Beidl, this is the
first accident on a bus. “We
didn’t deliberately do it, and we
shouldn’t be chastized for it,” she
said. o

‘STAFF WRITER

SUNYA English Professor
Harry Staley is a man in love with
the humanities who may have a
new and refreshing way of
teaching them.

Staley does not believe in giving
exams in his
classes because
he feels that ‘it
aso asl ey
memorization,
it leaves no
room for thinking or imagina-
tion...it won’t help. them
(students).’’ Instead, Staley
prefers students to write a series
of papers and, above all else,
dialogue.

“] think the best way of
teaching is through dialogue,
creating interest in the subject
matter,’’ said Staley, adding that
he encourages students not to
take notes in class, because they
would reflect only his ideas.

Staley said he ‘“‘encourages
students to doubt whatever is be-
ing taught to them.” To em-
phasize his philosophy, Staley
quoted Einstein who said,
“Education begins when you say
‘I wonder.’””

Scientists are frequently well
versed in the humanities, he said,
suggesting that scientists might, in
reality, be humanists who are
drawn to the field of science
because it allows them to be im-
aginative, something which the
field of education doesn’t always
allow.

“The discouragement of con-
templation, detainment, and
reflection is prevalent in society.
We don’t live for the moment,”’
he said, adding, ‘‘Hinstein
wouldn’t have been valued here--
he certainly wouldn’t have made
Dean’s list.”’

The field of humanities is not
as wide as it once was, said Staley,
because of ‘‘a regrettable, but
understandable careerist bias

If a liquor license or insurance
cannot be obtained and beer is
not able to be served, Seligson
said that the only availible alter-
natives are a completely ‘‘dry’’
Mayfest or ‘no event at all,
which I am totally against.’”

According to SA Controller
Eric Schwartzman, Mayfest is run
as a profit-loss event. In the past,
Schwartzman said, SA has been
losing money paying ‘“‘anywhere
between five and ten thousand
dollars just to bring the event
here.”

Schartzman estimates that the
cost of this year’s. Mayfest to be
approximately $90,000 to
$100,000, $30,000 to 35,000 of
which will cover the cost of the
bands.

Although attendence will be in-
fluenced by ticket prices, weather,
and the final choice of bands,
Director of Student Activities
Jessica Casey predicted that bet-
ween eight and eleven thousand
will turn out.

According to Casey there will
be different ticket prices for
tickets purchased with or without
a tax card. Prices will also vary
for drinking and non-drinking
tickets, if the beer garden
becomes possible.

In the past, Casey said, ‘‘peo-
ple have been paying between $5
and $7 for three bands, all the
-food they can eat, and all the soda
they can drink for a whole
afternoon.””

among students.’ This can lead
to what Staley feels is ‘‘a lack of
imagination in the fields of law
and medicine” and ‘‘a lack of
value development in education

A revival of the humanities can
solve this problem said Staley,
and “bring more human at-
tributes into the field.”’

The legal field is becoming in-
terested in the application of
literary criticism to the law, said
Staley, quoting a New York
Times article. “‘But the least wor-
thy reason to study the
humanities is because they will
help corporations. (One should)
study humanities for their own in-
trinsic value,” he said.

Staley, born in Gloversville,
New York, and raised in
Brooklyn, was educated at
England’s Manchester University
and the University of Penn-
sylvania. He claims to have
taught here for 100 years, though
he has actually been teaching for
only 30 years. He has also taught
at the University of Penn-
sylvania’s Wharton School of
Business and in China.

SUNYA English professor Harry Staley

“Humor in the classroom is extremely important.”

students are different than to-
day’s students, said Staley, using
one of his many teaching anec-
dotes to explain. When Staley was
teaching Crime and Punishment
in the 50’s, he slipped and told the
students there would be an exam
on War and Peace the following
Friday.

“The students sighed and they
were ready to do it,’’ Staley said.
“In the ’60’s they would have
said, ‘It’s time to leave Dostoev-
sky, who’s a reactionary
theologian, and move on to
Tolstoy , who’s a pacifist.’ Now
I'd be beseiged by five lawyers,””
he said.

Your father’s combat boots
could be worth $5000 to you.

“Humor in the classroom is ex-
tremely important. As much as
possible the subject matter should
survive outside of the
classrooms,” said Staley.

When teaching in China in 1982
to 1983, Staley said he found that,
“the students stood up out of
respect--it took a whole year to
get them to participate. The Con-
fucian idea of respect for elders
made them this way. As in Japan,
the entire system is diseased. They
work all day to get into univer-
sities through competitive ex-
ams,” he said.

This reliance on exams is
“‘stupid’’ Staley said. “It leads to
unimaginative conformity, a lack
of inventiveness and imagina-
tion.” This tradition is also
followed in the United States,
said Staley, and because of this he
says the Wharton School of
Business is a “‘terrible school.”’

Staley’s classroom is a refuge
from the well-known pressures of
competition, exams, and confor-
mity, and he seems to live a line
quoted from Shelly, “If we are
going to survive, we’re going to
have to imagine that which we
know.”

(AP) Pulitzer Prize winning
novelist William Kennedy has
been awarded literary honors
by Brandeis University and a

club.

The Lotus Club, an
organization for artists and

Medal of Merit last week. On

but vandals have ripped some of
them down, said Williams.

Kennedy’s novels honored

May 7, Kennedy is slated to
return to New York to receive
the Brandeis Award for
outstanding work in the
creative arts.

“They just came along, and I
feel honored,”’ said Kennedy.

Kennedy is a SUNYA pro-
fessor and Director of the New
York State Writer’s Institute,
which is based at Albany.

a small city like Albany and
made it mythic,” said Evelyn
Simha, executive director of
the Brandeis Awards. “We
think Kennedy is one of the
really important writers of our
time.”

Jean Bray, a spokesperson
for the Lotus Club, said Ken-
nedy received the Medal of
Merit for his four novels about
the people of Albany.

Among those novels is
“‘Tronweed,’’ which won the 58
year-old Kennedy the Pulitzer
Prize in 1984 and the National
Book Critics Circle Award in
1983.

“‘He’s very well known,’’
Bray said, ‘‘and the members
were interested in his coming
here to speak.’’

Members of the club include
violinist Isaac Stern, dancer
Mikhail Baryshnikov and
Governor Mario M. Cuomo.

Mark Twain made one of his
last speeches at the Lotus Club,
Kennedy said.

“It’s a very famous speech
and I’ve had it in my library for
years,’’ said the author. “‘I find
that kind of tradition very
pleasant.”

In his talk, Kennedy address-
ed literary minimalism, a style
which emphasizes sparse detail.

Mass., will also bestow awards

five to six, said Landis.

SA President Steve Gawley called the
emergency meeting when Landis
brought these discrepancies to his atten-
tion. Gawley said he felt ‘‘SA should try
to eliminateas many contingencies as
possible. Even though the forms say the
11th instead of the fourth, if we adver-
tise we could close the nominations on
Wednesday and still hold elections as

scheduled,”’ he said.

Gawley attributed the mix-up on the
nomination forms to ‘“miscommunica-
tion”’ between council members.

“Tt is very fortunate the the council
decided to do it this way because now we
don’t have to change the election date,”
Gawley said.

“It is important that people know the
deadlines for nominations because the
bulk of nominations come in on the last

day,”’ said Gawley, adding that a lot of
people wait until the last minute to hand
in their nomination because they want
to see who they will be running against.

Gawley said the main reason nomina-
tions won’t be taken past Wednesday is
because the voting machines have to be
programmed on Thursday and Friday in
order for them to be ready for Mon-
day’s election.

Gawley said he expects to get a
“sizable number of nominations next
week.’’ There will be a lot of ads and
posters to make the campus community
aware of the new deadline, said Gawley.

Gawley doesn’t expect anyone to be
angry about the deadline being moved
up. He said he feels the Wednesday
deadline gives people who are interested
adequate time to respond. o

School makes debut

The School of Public Health Sciences,
which combines the resources of SUNYA,
the New York Department of Health,
Albany Medical College, and the Veterans
Administration Medical Center made its
formal debut on March 21 at an Inaugural
Convocation, according to a statement
released by the SUNYA News Bureau.

At the Empire Plaza ceremony,
honorary degrees were awarded to
biologist and Nobel Laureate Marshall W.
Nirenberg and biochemist Tollin Hot-
chkiss, according to the statement.

The Public Health Sciences school,
located at the Health Department’s
Wadsworth Laboratories, offers students
first hand experience and, according to the
statement, students will be exposed to the
cutting edge of research in dozens of dif-
ferent health fields.””

New hold list posted

A list of students with their records on
hold has been posted outside the student
pre-registration office in an effort to
“alleviate pre-registration problems’’ ac-
cording to Lynn Livanos, the co-chair of
the Student Community committee.

“It provides accesibility to off-campus
students,” said Livanos, particularly since
the only other ‘hold listings’ are posted
outside the Registrar’s office and in the
Colonial U-Lounge.

The list outside SA office is up-dated
every time the registrar issues a new list,
said Livanos.

As to whether students have utilized the
SA list, Livanos replied, ‘‘it’s very hard to
gauge. It’s there if you need it.”

Workshop held

The annual ‘‘off-campus awareness
day’? sponsored by the University as a
neighbor advisory committee was held in
the Campus Center on Wednesday “‘to in-
form people what is off-campus’’ accor-

ding to the secretary of the Off-campus
Association (OCA) Lois Privor.

“We are not here to get anyone an
apartment,” said Privor, rather OCA
hopes to provide information to interested
students, explained Privor.

Workshops on safety, apartment hun-
ting, decoration and maintaince, landlord-
tenant obligations were held throughout
the day, said Heather Sulewski, graduate
assistant for OCA.

Sulewski stressed the community aspect
of off-campus living. “It’s to enforce to
Students that they are living in a
community-not a glorified dormitory, said
Sulewski.

Telethon celebrates

_To commemorate Telethon’s 20th an-
hiversary and ‘‘to kick off Telethon week”
300 ballons were released on the podium
on Wednesday, according to Suzanne
Murphy, Telethon’s student organizer.

Mayor Thomas Whalen III, honorary
chair of Telethon was in attendance to
tead a proclamation at the ceremony, that
tecognized Telethon as a tri-centennial
event, said Murphy.

Murphy added that the 300 ballons
represented Albany’s tricentennial and
twenty balloons were silver to represent
Telethon’s 20th anniversary. ‘‘The twenty
ballons represented a twenty-year commit-
tment from the students to the communi-
ty,”? added Murphy.

On March 5 the College Republicans
will be sponsoring their second ‘Pine Bush

The Pine Bush is one of three “‘pine bar-

Upcoming SA elections can
be forum for minority input

By E. Paul Stewart
MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR

Ina very short time Student Association
elections will be upon us once again. In
fact, this Wednesday, April 9 is the
deadline for nominations. The importance
of minority student involvement in the
workings of Student Association cannot be
stressed enough.

In recent history, the Beyond
minority populaiton on
this campus has not The
taken a sufficiently ac- ior
tive role in student Majority
government and this, perhaps, has con-
tributed to the neglect and abuse we have
suffered at the hands of those making the
decisions. This has not always been the

s case because minority students in the past
have been more actively involved in SA in-
cluding the Executive Branch. Therefore,
it is imperative that the minority student
populace become part of the organiza-
tional bodies that make the decisions.

Student Association is comprised of
three bodies: Central Council (legislative);
Executive (President, Vice-President, Con-
troller); and the Supreme Court. Central
Council is made up of 33 members: 20
from on-campus, 13 from off-campus. Of
the 33 members, 24 are elected in the spr-
ing. Three are elected from each quad for a
total of 15 and 9 from off-campus. The re-
maining 9 members are elected at the
beginning of the fall semester. Central
Council, as the legislative branch, is the
policy-maker for the campus. The budgets
for all groups, including Fuerza Latina,
ASUBA, and Pan Caribbean are decided
by Central Council. The monies allocated
for the groups and the operation of Stu-
dent Association comes from the Man-
datory Student Activity fee (currently
$100) that all students must pay. It would

‘Due to mature subject matter, Parental Guidance is Suggested,

be foolish for minority students to con-
tinue to allow your money to be spent by
the majority without any input from you.
To give up this money and hope for the
best has already been proven (by past ac-
tions of Student Association) not a wise
move. The answer to this, of course, is to
get involved.

Supreme Court is a body of six, who are
appointed by the SA President and who
decide on grievances lodged within the
University Community.

The Executive Branch consists of the
President and Vice-President (who are
elected) and several appointed positions,
including the Controller, Minority Affairs
Coordinator, Affirmative Action Coor-
dinator, Programming Director and Media
Director. These positions all involve stu-
dent groups’ interest and also entail work-
ing with University officials.

Student Assocation is not, nor can it
ever be, complete without the input from
the minority student body on this campus.
There are no requirements to run for office
on this campus, so there’s no reason not to
take advangage of the opportunities that
SA and Albany State University has to of-
fer. To get what you deserve on this cam-
pus, you must take part because no one

Study shows feminism disliked by employers

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE —
Women may have a hard time get-
ting a job if their resumes evince
strong feminist feelings or refer to
school projects that a prospective
employer may see as meaning
they could cause “trouble” on
the job, a new study by two pro-
fessors suggests.

increased membership of JSC.
“He brought membership, pro-
gramming, and activities up to a
respectable level from next to
nothing. Jay started the wheels
turning and now people are turn-
ing their backs on him.”

Kellman said that his decision
to resign occurred two weeks ago
at a meeting of the chairs of the
Campus Commission, students
and board members of JSC, anda
mediator, Wendy Silverman of
the Psychology Department.

“Tt was stated at that meeting
that 1 was no longer permitted to
give counseling or do programm-
ing outside of JSC. They were
confining me to operating within
one organization. That, to me, is
not conducive to ‘the promotion
of active and positive Jewish life
on campus,’ which is stated to be

my job.””
Kellman said this restraint can
promote a ‘cliquish’ Jewish

population on campus, and even
a sort of political manipulation
within the organization.

“The worst thing for outreach
is to project an organization that
is always bickering’’ said
Kellman. ‘‘But now Chapel
House has no Jewish chaplain at
all, full or part time. There is no
one for Jewish students to turn to

Halley’s comet

<Front Page
spacecrafts showed the nucleus to
be somewhat ‘‘peanut’’ shaped.

Other surprising facts were also
revealed, according to Story. The
surface of the nucleus is coated
with a black material, he said.
Although this finding was not an-
ticipated, it is believed that the
coating consists of silicate rock
material and carbon, he said.

More spacecrafts also confirm-
ed the way in which a comet acts.
With the nucleus being made up
of water, ice, and other particles,
gas and dust are evaporated and
come off the nucleus in jets on the
sunward side when the sun warms
it.

One of the biggest worries
about sending the spacecrafts
near the comet, said Story, was
the danger of damage by ice and
other small particles that move
off the ‘COMA’, or head of the
comet, at a speed of 150,000 miles
per hour, or 50 times the speed of
a bullet.

But, Story said, although some
of the equipment has been
damaged and some of the images
degraded, the spacecrafts were
“successful in taking pictures of
the unknown nucleus.”

Employers surveyed by Michael
Hitt of Texas A&M and William
Zikmund of Oklahoma State
seemed especially reluctant to hire
female students who had done
studies of job discrimination.

But corporate preferences for
male applicants in general seem to

in time of need.

Kellman’s resignation is a turn
for the worse in JSC, said
Steinberg. There’s been a terrible
loss in terms of counseling and
religious guidance, he said.

Leslie Chait, chair of the JSC
Social Committee, said she feels
Kellman’s resignation will not
have much affect on JSC’s opera-
tion. “Members of JSC work well
together, and we do have funds to
cover and plan events. And there
are rabbis in the area who could
help out if called upon, ” she
said.

Aronofsky said she agreed that
Kellman’s resignation ‘‘won’t
matter that much. People who are
going to join JSC are going to
join anyway.”

“Bventually we will be back to
normal. We'll make up for Jay’s

be fading, Hitt said.

Other job placement officials,
however, question Hitt and Zik-
mund’s study, and note
‘political’? references on a
resume are always a risk.

“T am not sure if (discrimina-
tion) is specific to women’s
groups,”’ said Joe Santos, a place-

absence,’’ said Symons.

In the meantime, said Symons,
Kellman’s assistant, Linda Wax-
man may continue on, but it’s up
to the commission. Waxman is
not a clergy member, however,
said Symons.

Kellman said he has no bit-
terness toward the Commission or
JSC. “Everybody had good in-
tentions. They were just clouded
over by politics and months of
aggravation.”

As far as Kellman’s future
plans, he said he’s not sure what
he’ll do yet. But now, he said,
he’ll have an opportunity to do
some long-needed reading and
studying.

“I’m in the phone book if ever
I’m needed,”’ said Kellman. ‘‘I
may be ‘retired,’ but I’ll never
stop helping individuals.”’ oO

Employers in general séem to
respond less positively ‘‘to social
stands of any kind” on resumes,
he said.

Hitt and Zikmund’s study sug-
gests companies appear anxious
to respond to feminist applicants
with appropriate care, if not with
jobs.

“The study shows companies
tend to respond to feminist ap-
plications to make sure they are
responding to feminists,’’ Hitt
said.

Hitt and Zikmund sent the
resumes of two women to some
200 companies.

To see if companies respond to
feminist applicants differently
than they do to others, the resear-
chers sent resumes that identified
the applicants only by their in-
itials, resumes that identified
them by full name, resumes that
said the applicant had written a
thesis on job discrimination, and
resumes that did not mention the
thesis.

Invariably, the firms replied to
the resumes identified only by in-
itials with a salutation of
“Mister,’’ Hitt recalled.

The College of Liberal Arts, Boston University, offers
to academically superior students the opportunity to
study politics, history, and English literature for one
semester at St. Catherine's College, University of
Oxford. This program combines the strengths of the
British tutorial system with a traditional lecture/seminar
approach to allow students an intense, rewarding
academic experience. Applications are now being
accepted for Summer 1986 (May 17-August 22), Fall

The resumes that mentioned
the discrimination thesis and had
the women’s full names received
the most responses, but the ma-
jority of them were negative.

Companies, Hitt concluded
from the response, are leery of
hiring someone who might ques-
tion how they operate.

Santos said he thinks they’re
just leery of hiring anyone whose
politics may offend someone in
the firm.

“Whenever you mention in-
volvement with a political stand,
there is always the chance the per-
son reading the resume may have
a bias the other way,’’ Santos
said.

But Hitt and Zikmund were
most intrigued by firms’ replies to
the resumes that mentioned the
job discrimination thesis, but
were identified only by the appli-
cant’s initials.

The companies responded to
them at about the same rate as
they did to applications they
assume came from men.

“Tt seems companies were ap-
prehensive only if they felt a
woman was doing a discrimina-
tion study,”’ Hitt said.

| When we originally ran this editorial last semester, the
| response was so good that we decided to update it and
[run it again from time to time. In anticipation of a
| few new concerns you might have, we’ve made a few
changes and additions.

| Ask an administrator why a particular problem has
| never been addressed and he or she is almost sure to
say “I wasn’t aware the problem existed.’’ Chances
are that’s the truth. Administrators don’t live on cam-
pus and they don’t attend classes. They see very little
of what really goes on here.

So the next time you start to tell your friend what’s
wrong with this school, take a few extra steps to the
nearest phone and tell your gripe (or praise) to so-
meone who can do something about it. Listed below

| are some key names and numbers of people you can
| call, along with some examples of what you might
| speak to them about. This is, of course, only a sampl-
| ing of the people you may want to contact. For addi-

| Bus Service — When you get tired of watching full
! buses pass you on many mornings, making you late for
your classes, and you’ve stood there so long that your
legs can’t support you anymore, crawl over to the
1 nearest phone and call Physical Plant director Dennis
Stevens at 442-3400.
University Auxiliary Services — When you look at this
week’s menu and marvel at how UAS has once again
managed to serve its three worst entrees on one night
1 and its three most bearable ones on another, or you’ve
| found something large and disgusting in your Colonial 1

| tion at this University is going down, and you’d like to |
put a stop to this, call 474-1041 and ask for Mario. |
Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get through right |
away; the governor only likes students when elections ;

NYPIRG: a vital voice

Students, faculty and administrators at SUNYA should
be aware of legal developments in the courts which could
restrict the activities of student governments and all stu-
dent groups. I am referring to the court case Galda v.
Bloustein involving the New Jersey Public Interest
Research Group (NJPIRG).

Stacey Young

The court case originally began in 1979, when the Mid-
Atlantic Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit for six students
who objected to paying a refundable fee for NJ PIRG that
was approved in a campus-wide referendum. The
students argued that they should not have to pay a fee,
even a refundable one, because NJPIRG advocated posi-
tions on public issues with which they disagreed. The
Mid-Atlantic Legal Foundation is a self-styled conser-
vative law firm funded through grants from large corpor-
ations and wealthy donors. =

Rutgers University defended funding NJPIRG by say-
ing that NJPIRG was an educational way for students to
work on public policy issues. Rutgers argued that
NJPIRG gave.students the opportunity to do issue
research, get internship credit and learn about the
legislative process.

The federal judge assigned to the case, Judge Brotman,
agreed with Rutgers that NJPIRG played a valuable
educational role on the campus. Unfortunately, last June,
the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, one of twelve U.S.
Appeals courts, overturned Judge Brotman’s decision on
the grounds that NJPIRG was funded by a separate fee
from the regular student activity fee and that NJPIRG
was based off campus and engaged in lobbying activities.
It was this two to one decision in the Third Circuit that
was appealed to the Supreme Court. On Monday, March

__10, 1986, the Supreme Court refused to hear the case and
let it stand. The Third Circuit opinion is binding within
that appeals court’s jurisdiction, which includes New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Virgin Islands.

A similar case was brought by the Mid-Atlantic Legal
Foundation, in 1983, against funding of NYPIRG at
SUNY Albany, SUNY Binghamton, and SUNY New
Paltz. Because the Supreme Court did not agree to hear
the NJPIRG case, the NJPIRG case had no impact on
schools outside of the Third Circuit’s area. The Supreme
Court only hears about five percent of cases appealed to
it, so when they refuse to hear a case, it means the deci-
sion is limited to that one district and has no ‘“‘preceden-
tial’ value in other parts of the country. In other words,
the Supreme Court has yet to rule on this matter.

The NYPIRG case has yet to be reviewed by a federal

judge, but is expected to be heard within the next year. As
previously stated, the NJPIRG case will have no bearing
on the NYPIRG case because it is in a different court
jurisdiction. Moreover, even the Third Circuit judges
seemed to approve in their decision the idea of funding a
PIRG or similar group through general student activity
fees, as is done for NYPIRG in New York.

The issue in both these cases is whether or not students
can enact student activity fees and fund a variety of stu-
dent activities that involve students speaking out on
issues. PIRGs are not the only student groups that get in-
volved in public issues. Student newspapers run
editorials, student governments pass resolutions, Black
student _unions speak out on apartheid, state student
associations lobby on tuition increases and student clubs
speak out on hundreds of topics.

The National Association of State Universities and
Land Grant Colleges filed an ‘amicus curiae” (friend of
the court) brief asking the Supreme Court to review this
case and overturn the Third Circuit decision. In their
brief, the Association, which represents all the big state
universities (including SUNY and CUNY) stated clearly
what danger this case has for all student activities:
First, the decision below disregards basic principles of
academic freedom, and needlessly entangles the courts in
scrutinizing fundamentally academic decisions made by
university faculties and administrators. Second, the Third
Circuit’s ruling threatens the ability of State-funded col-
leges and universities to encourage diversity of student
groups on campus. The decision below stands as an open
invitation to students who disagree with the positions
taken by any student organization receiving any sort of
support from the university to utilize federal court action
as a mechanism for tailoring the university’s educational
program and activities to suit their own views and beliefs.

The Association goes on to argue that the Third Cir-
cuit’s rationale would limit ‘‘the university’s forum to
those few groups which take no positions on political or
otherwise controversial issues. We submit that such a
result, which would transform campuses into sterile,
isolated ivory towers, is antithetical to the basic mission
of the university — exposure to diverse views.”

While the Third Circuit’s decision will not have any
direct-impact on NYPIRG or any other student group in
New York, I think you should be concerned about it.
Should other courts adopt the view that student activities
should be non-political, then students will have no collec-
tive voice on campus or in the community. Oo

Albany chapter of NYPIRG, The New York Public In-
terest Research Group.

cAspeculation

I like many students, made the grave mistake of deciding to take advantage of
my college education by learning something that might be relevant later in life.
I signed up for a computer class.

The first time I tried to log on to the computer, they were all broken. That was
what I concluded after pushing a lot of buttons and staring at a lot of blank screens.
Then I learned about that little button in the back.

Once the thing was turned on, the real trouble began. I chose to sit next to so-
meone of the opposite sex who looked like an experienced programmer. My

criteria for judgement: he typed quickly, he had a big computer book next to his
terminal, and he had nice eyes.

Ismiled. “Excuse me. I was wondering if I could just ask you a quick question . . .
I'm pushing a ‘1’ for Sperry, but nothing's happening.”

He asked if I had adjusted the set-up. I asked him what a set-up was. He adjusted
the set-up.

“Do you understand what I just did?’ he asked.

“No, I'm an English major. I work for the ASP,” I said, by way of explanation. He
sat back down.

The typing part was easy enough. It was just like using the machines at the ASP.
I was really surprised, though, when it started typing back!

UNMATCHED QUOTES IN STATEMENT 80, LG4999. “Hey, it knows
me! It’s talking to me!” I nudged my helper. “What's that mean?”

He said, “That means you made a mistake.”

Later that day, after picking up a stack of blank printout sheets at the dispatch
window, I decided to go to the movies for a good dose of words. I saw Youngblood
and got a good dose of Rob Lowe, who transcends verbal description. That night I
had a beautiful dream that turned into a nightmare . . .

It was midnight. I was asleep. The phone rang. I answered it wearily. It was HIM
— Rob Lowe! Suddenly I was wide awake. He needed some help on his computer
Program and was wondering, would I possibly come over to his apartment in the
middle of the night alone to help him, since it was due tomorrow? And he would
be sooooo grateful. He would owe me one.

I was there ina flash! I told him I saw the problem right away. He needed to use a
DO IT AGAIN LOOP.

“What kind of a command is that?” he demanded. “This isn’t supposed to be
English, you know — this is BASIC!” Then he asked, “Can I have your sister's
number?”

I woke up screaming “NO, NO, NO!’ Finally, after milk and Funny Bones, I was
able to fall asleep again. Soon I drifted into another dream:

I walked into the computer room. I spotted the “experienced programmer.” I sat
down at the terminal next to his. He got up and moved. I logged on, and the com-
puter went into an infinite loop of “NOT YOU AGAIN, LG4999!”

When I bought a raffle ticket from the swim team in December, I thought it
would be really neat to win first prize, a Commodore Home Computer. That was
before my computer class began this semester.

When my fiends knocked on the window of my English class and held up a sign
that said, “Loren — YOU WON! WE SWEAR!” I didn’t believe it.

When the computer was delivered to my dorm room, | got hives. I hid it under
my bed for a while, but I kept having nightmares about Rob Lowe marrying my
sister. Finally I sent it to my brother with no return address.

Now I can rest in peace.

Aspects 3a

One more lovable wimp

ocusts, you learnvery early in
L David Seltzer's Lucas, only appear

once every 17 years. Film as good
as Lucas are thankfully a little more
common.

John Keenan

The film is a lighthearted foray into the
world of adolescent romance, and is con-
cerned with a small boy who's interested in
insects — he doesn't collect them, though,
because he doesn’t want to kill them — un-
til love makes him try out for the football
team instead.

If the logic here doesn’t seem to work
quite right, it's most likely because young
love never seems to work quite right
either. Everything in Lucas, on the other
hand, works perfectly.

Lucas is a 14-year-old boy, played com-
pellingly by Corey Haim, who falls in love
with the 16-year-old Maggie (Kerri Green).
Since Maggie is new in town and hasn’t
had time to find out who the cool people
are, the two become friends. When Lucas‘s
friend Cappie (Charlie Sheen), a football
star on the high school team, enters the pic-
ture, Lucas finds himself squeezed out. In
desperation, the tiny Lucas tries the only
thing he can think of to make Maggie like
him . . . he goes out for the football team.

Writer/director David Seltzer, best
known for The Omen, has crafted an en-
joyable story, centering on a wimp-hero
who's proud to be different, almost identi-
fying with his insect namesakes, until he
falls in love. Effective camera work and a
solid acting job done by Haim enhance a
storyline that’s beginning to become pretty
common these days — wimp finds girl,
wimp loses girl, wimp accepts the fact that
he's lost the girl.

As Cappie, the football-playing buddy,
Charlie Sheen manages to be likeable
enough to avoid being villainous, coming
across as a nice guy caught in a tough situa-
tion. Kerri Green’s Maggie, the girl who
really likes Lucas a lot but doesn’t love
him, is believable in every aspect, and
Green displays a kind of charm that makes
it easy to believe that both the cerebral
Lucas and the less cerebral Cappie could

Good acting between Friends

llan Burns’ directorial debut, Just
A Between Friends, is likely to draw

many comparisons to Terms of
Endearment, as it is an emotional study of a
woman's growth. Burns, who created The
Mary Tyler Moore Show, has crafted a
powerful social drama which relies on a
manipulative premise for its power and
asks an awful lot of its audience.

Ian Spelling

Perhaps too much.

Mary Tyler Moorestars as an affec-
tionate, but passive housewife who
befriends a witty,. spirited newscaster
(Christine Lahti), who inturn is having an
affair, unwittingly, of course, with Moore's
husband (Ted Danson), whom she met
while covering an earthquake. Danson, of
course, is a seismologist who loves his wife
for the security she provides, but relishes
the excitement Lahti has to offer.

As if that is not enough, Moore yearns
to have another child. Danson breezily
skirts the subject, but not the fates, as he is
killed in an off-screen accident, which, of
course, Lahti must report to Moore, who,
of course, has overcome her fears and now
teaches aerobics. Moore then finds a photo
of Lahti with Danson and the film’s re-
mainder examines the, well, it examines
the terms of endearment. Oh, yes, Lahti is
pregnant with Danson’s baby. Of course.

Though there are enough suds among
Friends to bathe in, Burns manages to make
it all palatable, if not thoroughly
beleivable. Moore's growth is well handl-

fall for her.

There are problems with the storyline,
certainly. Several key cliches, such as the
hulking bully (Thomas Hodges), the girl
who's really perfect for Lucas if only he
would see it (Winona Ryder), the big foot-
ball game which offers a chance for ascen-
sion from wimphood, and the fact that
Lucas is a genius (Aren’t all small, weak
guys geniuses?) help remind you that
you've seen this sort of thing before.
However, Ryder is so appealing that you
forgive the role, and Seltzer thankfully

ed, and she shines in two particularly
strong scenes. In the first, she discovers the
damning photo of Lahti and Danson and
breaks down. In the second, a revitalized
Moore engages in conversation with her
wise mother, played superbly by veteran
actress Jane Greer.

Lahti steals the proverbial show with her
tour de force performance as the rock
Moore leans on until she becomes the
source of trouble. In:scene after scene Lahti
is either funny or sad, embittered or
understanding, whatever the moment calls
for emotionally. Lahti will earn an Oscar
nomination for her work. She's a pleasure
to watch,

Danson plays the likeable cad for all it’s
worth, but it would have been interesting
to see him answer for his indiscretions.
And Sam Waterson is a bit of a bump on a
log as Danson’s best friend, who covers for
him even after death, but secretly covets
Moore. That, of course, is another story.
This is not to detract from Waterson’s ef-
forts. He is quite endearing and charming
as his character's mo(o)re engaging per-
sonality emerges.

Just Between Friends is a classic case of ac-
ting over material. It is interesting to note
that Burns also wrote the screenplay,
which in this case appears to be a conflict
of interest. Still, the scenes between Moore
and Lahti are among the most memorable
this year, and it’s about time a woman's
buddy movie hit the screen, anyway. 0

Despite the excellent screenplay, it is
Corey Haim who largely makes Lucas
dick. Haim, who first appeared in
Firstborn as the secondborn, never misses a
step with his-performance as the young
genius. His wide-eyed love, his anger and
hurt, and his final, semi-suicidal decision to
join the football team all ring true. In one
touching scene in which Lucas and Maggie
discuss why she doesn’t love him, Haim
captures the emotions perfectly.

“You're a wonderful person,” she says,
to which he replies, “But it doesn’t turn
you on,” one of wimphood’s universal

Despite the recent glut of loveable

tion and a Golden Globe Award in 1980 for

her memorable performance as the over-
whelmed mother in Ordinary People, Mary Tyler
Moore has appeared in Six Weeks, the HBO cable
production Finnegan, Begin Again, and the telefilm
Heartsounds, opposite James Garner.

Moore says she waited endlessly for good scripts
after Ordinary People, but none were forthcoming.
Compounding the problem was the separation and
subsequent divorce from husband Grant Tinker, and
the accidental shooting death of her son, Richard.
Looking under big and little rocks alike for work at
this point, Moore mistakenly uncovered the would-
be tearjerker Six Weeks. This morbid, depressing
picture failed miserably at the box-office.

From these ordeals Moore learned a great deal
about patience. “I wanted very much to work im-
mediately after Ordinary People, unfortunately all
the scripts I was given, and there were many, were
not the quality of Ordinary People, so I turned them
down,” she recalls. “Finally, after a year and a half, I
grabbed a picture (Six Weeks) that did not turn out
very well. I learned a lesson then: don’t ever get too
desperate.”

S ince winning an Academy Award nomina-

All of that behind her, Moore is busier now than
ever. She recently overcame her alcohol
dependence (at the.Betty Ford Center), kicked
her chain smoking habit, and married for the third
time, to Dr. Robert Levine. Moore's also resumed
her position as one of Hollywood's busiest actresses,
starring in a new television series, Mary, and a film,
Just Between Friends. As if that’s not enough, Moore
is at the Century Plaza in Los Angeles ‘to promote
her film.

The actress loves her hectic pace, going so far as
to say she thrives on it. “It’s not that difficult. I'm a
very methodical person,” Moore says. “I like to have
things organized. If you plan a little ahead you can
fit a lot of stuff into your life. It makes me very hap-
py to be busy, it never bothers me. What bothers
me is having nothing to do.”

“T've been criticized for that before by people
who are generally in a kind of work which allows
them to work 50 weeks a year. I say to them, ‘How
would you like to be at the mercy of outside in-
fluences and be told that you can only work three or
four months out of a year? Would you be satisfied
with that?’ And I say ‘No.’ It's healthy, if you have
something to give to be allowed to give it. I work
toward that end. I'm always looking, and happiest
when I have too many things on which to work.”

Two projects currently on Moore's agenda are her
floundering series, Mary, and her film. Mary cur-
rently resides down near the cellar of the Nielson
ratings and has lived up to no one’s high expecta-
tions, particulary Moore's. The show's poor perfor-
mance, Moore feels, reflects its failings. “I am not
happy with the way we have done the television
show, no. We are right now regrouping, retooling
and deciding how we can best do the series next
year,” she ‘says. “CBS has given us an order for
scripts for next season. As officially as they can, they
have told us there will in fact be a next season. My
problem with it is that it’s been too concerned with
being funny and less concerned with dealing with
the. characters and their natures. We have not had
enough quiet times to peel off the layers and get to
know the people. That's what I want to do for next
season.”

Moore is quite satisfied with Just Between
Friends, however. “I like it very much,” she says. “I
like working in theatrical film where you have the
time to thoroughly examine the character, to slowly
develop the story and the relationships.” Moore par-
ticulary relishes the on-screen relationship between
herself and Christine Lahti, and says she is delighted
to finally see a film dealing with female bonding
because it parallels modern female relationships. “I
have always felt very comfortable with women.
The women that I choose to have in my life are
open women who are very comfortable with shar-
ing feelings,” Moore says. “I think, for the most part,
that’s a classic response,

Iking with Moore and

“Wien, 1 feel whentthey are with other men are
more reserved, tend to focus their attention on
issues, on politiés, on their jobs, on sports. Probably
because they spend so much of their lives in ac-
tivities. Women have been inactive, so emotions
were what they were primarily dealing with. How
they feel about their husbands, how they feel about
their children. That, thank God, is changing. Men
are adopting some of these vulnerable
characteristics. Women are beginning to get more
involved in sports.”

Moore began working in the late 1950's, guesting
on the various television shows of the day, including
77 Sunset Strip and Bachelor Father. She soon made
the jump to motion pictures. But it was through
television, of course, that Mary Tyler Moore
became a star. She first gained popularity as the
agreeable Laura Petrie on the Dick Van Dyke Show,
and years later attained superstardom as Mary
Richards during her seven year stint on The Mary
Tyler Moore Show. Moore maintains a lot of affec-
tion for those early days. “Not only was it a wonder-
fully pleasant atmosphere, which I've been blessed
with all my life, but it was also university training in
comedy working with them,” she says of The Dick
Van Dyke Show. “They were black belts, if that’s
not mixing metaphors too much. Carl (Reiner) and
Dick (Van Dyke) and Morey (Amsterdam) and
Rosey (Marie) taught me everything. | haven't seen
an episode in, I guess, ten years . . . They‘d be fun to
look at again.”

Allan Burns, who created The Mary Tyler Moore
Show and scripted many episodes, wrote, produced
and directed Just Between Friends. Burns says he

- wrote the role of the widowed Holly Davis

specifically for Moore, a fact which may lead some
people to assume Burns sees Moore exactly as he
wrote. Moore insists she doesn’t personalize matters
to that degree. “I didn’t (personalize it),” Moore says.
“7 think she is a classic human being. I know a lot of
people like that lady, who have made their lives the
care and nurturing of their children and husbands.
They are very sweet people who have trained
themselves to sit on their ambitions and emotions.”
“(didn’t identify with her at first. Then I identified
with her as a kind of person I know. Everything I
play coincides with my own personal feelings. I
have to make that identification, otherwise I can’t
create it and it becomes pretend. That never works.”
Moore's character in Just Between Friends is a
quiet housewife whose world is quaked by the
death of her seismologist husband (Ted Danson).

Later, Moore learns he was having an affair with a
newswoman (Chritine Lahti) who has since become
her close friend, Following Danson’s fatal accident,
Moore enters his office and discovers a group of
photos on his desk. Among the many shots of
Moore in her younger years is one of Danson with
Lahti. This triggers what is arguably the film’s most
emotionally powerful moment, as Moore breaks
down and succumbs to tears. “Photographs always
make me cry,” says Moore. ‘It’s interesting. I don’t
know why that is.

“I just made a party for my mother and father,
who celebrated their fiftieth anniversary. As part of
their present I put together a taped This Is Your Life
of old and middle-year photographs. It turned out
being a little 13-minute film with narration. When I
went in to do the narration, just the most innocuous
of comments, thinking about the photographs,
would make me choke up. We'd have to stop and I'd
have to start again. When I was able to look at the
old photographs of Ted Danson, or of me, Mary
Tyler Moore, or of my dog taken four months
before we actually shot the scene, it just touched
something in me deeply. Something about moments
that are gone makes me cry. Then it takes some con-
centration on the present situation and I can incor-
porate it.”

Two other matters Moore has learned to incor-
porate in her personal life are her equally well
publicized diabetes and fame, both of which are
distractions she has under control. “I have the
diabetes so ultimately manageable now that I don’t
have to think about it on the set,” she says. “I know
it's a matter of chemistry. X amount of insulin, X
amount of exercise, and stress produces a healthy
mental state. I don’t have to deal with it, so I'm one
of the lucky ones.

“Fame? I have developed a kind of blinder system
to that. People will be walking down the street with
me in New York and say, ‘God, how do you stand
it?’ and I say, ‘Stand what?’ ‘Well, all these people
turning around and looking at you.’ ‘Oh, right, I
guess they are.’ I just don't see it. I'll tell yowa little
secret. I walk very fast, so that by the time they've
done the double take I'm half a block away and it’s
too late. I'm also very honest with people. If the
situation is one which I can handle, fine, and if it isn’t
I say, ‘I'm sorry, I can’t stop right now. I can’t sign
your autograph now, please understand,’ and they

do. It’s all right.”

ten film critics, myself included, sit with

pens at the ready and cassettes rolling, Next
to me is the empty chair which will momentarily be
taken by Danson. The actor eyes his seat and pulls it
away from the table.

Danson then looks around the table, eyeing those
about to grill him. “How’s it going, Ian?” he asks,
placing his hand on my shoulder as he sits down.
The other critics glance my way, some jealously, the
rest simply wondering why Danson is addressing me
personally.

I shrug, doing the best I can to conceal a little
smile,

About an hour earlier, Danson arrived at the Cen-
tury Plaza hotel in Los Angeles to publicize his latest
film, Just Between Friends. We bumped into each
other on the escalator and got to talking. So much
for the table’s assumption that Danson and I are the
best of buddies.

Danson makes it clear he is uncomfortable
answering personal questions. “It’s always so strange
to talk about yourself. There should be someone
next to me saying, ‘Well, Mr. Danson is wonderful,’
“he jokes without laughing. Nevertheless, Danson
has built the foundation of a long career playing the
outgoing cad, whether it’s the not-terribly-bright
Sam Malone on the hit series Cheers or Chip Davis
in Just Between Friends. “I'm your basic nice guy. I
think I'm believable,” he says, attempting to explain
his popularity, “and the audience is willing to go
places with me unsuspiciously.”

In Just Between Friends, Danson plays a man mar-
ried to an attractive, loyal, but ultimately boring
housewife played by Mary Tyler Moore. The
security and stability Moore provides are not
enough, though, and Danson romances Christine
Lahti’s vibrant and witty newswoman. Danson’s
character dies in an off-screen car accident about half
way through the film, allowing Allan Burns, the

writer-producer-director, to focus on the burgeoning
friendship between the two women.

When Burns was casting the role of Chip Davis,
he realized the role required a talented actor with a
big name, one willing to take a chance portraying a
largely unsympathetic character who vanishes from
the screen after a mere 45 minutes. Danson received
the script and immediately accepted the part. “I had
done a Blake Edwards film (A Fine Mess) for about
thirteen weeks. I had about three weeks left before I
went back to Cheers,” Danson says. “This fit perfect-
ly. Plus it was a good script and starred some of my
favorite actors.”

“Working with Mary Tyler Moore is a kick. I
mean, come on. I love Sam (Waterson) and
Christine(Lahti), | think they are very good actors.
That's why I did it, plus they needed someone who,
career-wise, you wouldn't think would die in the
first reel.”

Danson displays a different personality to each of
the female characters in the film, something for
which he claims he did not have to prepare. “That
comes from playing off Christine and Mary. They
are different,” he notes. “You don’t prepare for that,
it’s just something you let happen as a result of being
with them. I haven't known Mary personally, but
I've known her for a long time. There is a relation-
ship, one of those bizarre ones that we all have with
people we've seen perform a lot. That's there. It had
a lot of emotional depth to it.”

Christine is more like me. We're both kind of
comtemporary. We are peers carreer-wise, peers in
general. So it really fit for that character preparation.
Thad a relationship of depth with Mary and an in-
tellectual and peer-like compatablity with Christine,
which is what I think the rlationships were about.”

As for his own character, Danson believes Chip is
basically a decent man who happens to be in love
with two women. “He's a good guy. Absolutely. If
you can chlk him off as a bad guy, dummy, cad, nas-
ty guy, then who cares?” Danson asks. “Then there’s
no conflict there. His wife would say, ‘Good rid-
dance, buzz off, I'm glad you died.’ I think he’s you
and me, and he made a big mistake. You can look at
it that way. The message of the movie is very
clear,” he deadpans, “Fuck around and die.”

On that note, after the laughter dies down, the
conversation switches abruptly to Cheers, the show
in which Danson has played former Red Sox pitcher,
Sam Malone, for four years. Danson initially agreed
to a five year contract, and out of loyalty to the
show’s fans, cast, and producers, recently signed on
for a sixth year. Six years, he figures, should be
enough to untangle any conceivable plot twists. “I
think what will happen with Cheers is that we will
all decide, as a group, it is time to move on. You
always eat words like this, but I think six years

T ed Danson wanders over to our table, where

sounds about right,” he says with a twinge of regret.
“We're in our fourth right now. | don’t think any
one of us is going to pull the plug. It will be more of
a group decision.

While the plug’s still in, Danson waxes en-
thusiastic about Cheers. “I'm working on a great set-
up on television,” he says. “We have some of the
best writers around. I have a week to rehearse,
which is usually one of the big differences between
television and film, Television usually has to be so
fast. The truth is I have five days to rehearse a 24
minute piece, which is pretty good. I'm working
with really good writers, and rehearsing with good
actors, which is what you usually want from a film.
So, I'm pretty lucky.”

Cheers is far from perfect, though, as Danson
readily attests. Sam Malone is not the most articulate
of men, and Danson feels the character has regressed
somewhat since the show's inception. “We were
rehearsing the other day and I had a particularly
dumb Sam comment to make. I started to object a
little bit,” Danson recalls. “George Wendt, Normie,
said, ‘What are you doing? It's been four years and
you're starting to object now? Who are you kid-
ding? The second year, he got a lot dumber. The
first year he wasn’t as dumb, or at least you weren't
sure whether or not he was pulling your leg, The se-
cond year, when we (Sam and Diane) got together,
they had to write conflict. So they wanted
smart/dumb conflict. I think he may not be well
read, but I don’t feel stupid playing Sam. Personally,
[think it’s great, especially around really bright peo-
ple who consider themselves feminists. I think tak-
ing a nice dumb stand is wonderful, totally
appropriate.”

That Cheers has always been a consistent force in
the ratings also takes a lot of pressure off Danson.
He doesn't have to bite his nails every week,
awaiting do or die statistics from A.C.Neilson. Dan-

son, however, deflects additional pressure by declar-
ing he would prefer to be accepted as a film actor. “I
don’t have to pay a lot of attention to the ratings,”
he says, opening the button on his gray suit to reveal
a pink shirt. “T have the luxury of saying to myself,
‘At least this is not it. This is not really what I want.’
So, I don’t have to pay a lot of attention to the
ratings. What I really want to do is film, so it’s fine
whatever the ratings are. It’s OK. Now, I'm bitten by
the movie bug,

“Television is a hyper, hyper, crazy place. I hap-
pen to be incredibly lucky to be doing Cheers. I
think it will be very exciting, much more relaxing to
do a movie or two a year than it is to do seven mon-
ths of TV. With a film you get a beginning, a middle
and an end. On a series you are inventing, It’s con-
tinual. It’s a soap opera, basically. Film is really satis-
fying because you get to see a character, like in a
play. You know what you've got to work for, and
you've got four months to do it in. That's the luxury
time provides.”

Rather than sit back and hope the mailman
delivers a batch of decent scripts, Danson may, “like
every other actor in town, start a production com-
pany. We may be doing a film for NBC called When
the Bough Breaks. That’s a possibility,” he says,
“We're just in the beginning stages of having a script
written from the book. Obviously, if a feature came
along that excited me, I would go do that. At the
noment I don’t know what I'll be doing next. I do
know that it’s time to take a chance and do
something different, something that feels like a
tisk.”

Something risky like Something About Amelia?
“Yes, that’s been three years, so it's time for another
one, Danson says, referring to the chance he took
playing an incestuous father in the controversial
television film. “I don’t mean I have to play the
pervert of the week,” Danson concludes, “but I need
todo something like that.” a

Mary Fogarty as Liz and Sherman Lloyd as Mr. Kafka in November

Aunt Liz, the protagonist of Nigro’s
November, feels that her life has lost its
value. She is cranky and forgetful at times,
sharp and witty at others. Aunt Liz is
aware that her life is nearing its end, and
she is waiting for it to happen.

Just as Aunt Liz seems obsessed with
death, Mr. Kafka, another nursing home
resident, seems obsessed with life. Fan-
tastically portrayed by Sherman Lloyd,
Mr. Kafka enjoys the lack of responsibility
of old age. “My wife is dead. I can do
anything I want to,” he declares. “I can
poop in my pants if I want to.”

Through his hysterical antics, Mr.Kafka
makes the most of his life in the nursing
home, much to the amusement of the other
characters and the delight of the audience.
While adding humor to the play, he also
helps convey the play’s potrayal of life as
an ongoing quest for fulfillment. He tells
Aunt Liz, “I’m alive. I don’t want nobody
to forget it.”

Although she is weak and confined to
her bed, Aunt Liz is not too old to learn
that her quest is far from over. Mary Fogar-
ty does an excellent job of portraying her
character. Always in her bed center stage,
she is poised and professional in every
scene.

Also notable is Kymberly Dakin, who
plays the young and pretty Nurse Jane. She
is truly enjoyable as she dodges Mr Kafka’s
sexual advances and supports Aunt Liz ina
difficult time of decision-making.

According to Gloria Muzio, director of
November, the play “says things about the
human spirit.” Her direction, playwright
Don Nogro’s attendance at every perfor-
mance, and a cast of talented actors help
November “say things” very well.

I'm not quite sure when it happened to
me, but sometime between having three
roomates freshman year and all those late
nights partying, SUNYA became my home

hard to say goodbye to.

My first impression of the school was
just like everyone had told me: it was too
big and impersonal. As a freshman, I never
could remember which hall was Van
Rensselaer, or if Hamilton was on the right]
or left of the archway; and the four towers
always took my breath away. I was scared
and at times I felt as if someone had pushed
me off the boat and into a sea of concrete.
But I decided to stay and give school my
best shot.

Now when I see my name hanging on a
duty sign in Colonial Quad or my picture
in a university pamphlet plastered all over
campus, SUNYA isn't all that big. or in-
timidating anymore.

Sure, I had my share of bad times:
roomate problems, straight C’s and D’s one!
semester, and UAS meals. But they were
nothing compared to keg parties, football
games, the fountains, Mayfests, and
Guiness Day. And some of the people f
met along the way were pretty cool. Next,
to Debby, my R.A. was my best friend
sophomore year; and, oh yeah, Dr. S. is
really nice for a faculty member.

I'm a senior now and in the four years
I've been here I've learned about prejudice,
hatred, committment, honor, love, and
pride. I've laughed. I've cried. I've had
some of the best days of my life here, and
I'm glad I stuck it out. I'l be graduating on
May 18th, and if anyone had told me four
years ago that | would have a hard time’
saying goodbye, I would never have
believed it. ES

“Oh, lovely—just the hundredth time you've
managed to.cut everyone’s head off.”

Working to learn

To the Editor:

During my four years at SUNYA, many times I have
wanted to write a letter to the ASP expressing my con-
cerns about this school. Since the readers of this paper
have been subjected to countless numbers of personal
opinions, one more couldn’t hurt.

I believe the college experience should be a period in a
person’s life when he or she really matures; a time when
you try to understand other people even if they are dif-
ferent; a time when you should work hard and be proud
of your own successes, and learn from your mistakes. Un-
fortunately, after walking on this campus everyday and
reading the ASP on a pretty regular basis, this knowledge
has not reached many of the people here.

The readers of this paper have had to be burdened with
the narrow and ignorant thoughts on how a supposed
“lesbian lounge’’ is detrimental to the morality of the stu-
dent body. The Young Americans for Freedom and the
College Republicans, the ‘great advocates of intellect,”
have shown their deep understanding of how a true
democratic system works by attempting to censor pro-
fessors who are a bit too progressive for their delicate
minds. Perhaps someone else’s opinion, aside from their
parents’, could be a revelation. Last, but of course not
least, is the Benneton Generation. This generation gains
pleasure from the sight of themselves, receiving gifts from
Daddy and from hearing themselves speak, even if it is
always stating the obvious.

Who is actually immune from criticism, you ask. The
answer is nobody. But, I would like to congratulate and
praise one class of students who are often overlooked and
are sometimes made to feel as if they were the servants of
daddy’s little girls and boys. When we graduate this May,
the people who have struggled through college, by work-
ing during the hours that others might have been shopp-
ing at Crossgates or gossipping at the Lamppost, deserve
special recognition. It really makes no difference if they
worked in UAS sweeping and mopping floors, a work-
study job, a delivery person for a greasy pizza place, or

even downtown in the Legislature. These people should
be commended for achieving a great asset, a college
diploma, while at the same time spending those extra
hours at UAS, not because they wanted to but because
they had to.

Please don’t get the impression that I envy the people
who have gone through college driving new cars or not
working a single hour. Not only don’t I envy you, but I
feel you have missed out on something. Believe it or not,
hard work does build character and when I turn that
character into a well-paying job why you are still asking
your parents for support, I will laugh heartily.

Hopefully, May 18 will be the day when the people who
have really worked hard, aside from their schoolwork,
will savor the benefits of their sacrifices. I know I will.

A Greek remedy

To the Editor:

After reading the article about the University’s present
tule restricing fraternities and sororites from accepting
pledges with current disciplinary records, I was totally
shocked to discover how blind the University’s ad-
ministration is to the benefits of the. Fraternity-Sorority
Structures regarding discipline. Inter-Fraternity Council
President Ross Abelow is quoted as saying that “the
students and the Administration ‘usually work together’
on making policy, but in this case (regarding discipline)
no student input was added.”’

I speak for the majority of students involved in ‘‘Greek
Life”’ when I argue that fraternities and sororities com-
mand discipline, responsibility, and maturity; and
through pledging, all pledges, not only those with a
disciplinary problem, gain a tremendous amount of
discipline. Within a large university, such as SUNYA, the
causes for disruptive actions may stem from either a need
for attention, or from the frustrations accompanied by a
student’s inability to find security on such a large
campus.

Prohibiting a student with a disciplinary record from
“going Greek’? is like prohibiting an ex-criminal on
parole from having a chance to start a new life. 1 am cur-
rently a pledge of Tau Epsilon Phi (TEP), and the en-
thusiasm and security I have experienced, coupled with
the disciplinary standards set by the fraternity, have made
for a more rewarding semester.

Again, I speak for the majority of students involved in
Greek life when I argue that with each day, pledges gain a
sense of respect for that which surrounds them; and with

“fespect comes discipline. In arguing against the prohibi-
tion of fraternities and sororities from accepting pledges
with current disciplinary records, I ask the administration
to reconsider whether or not their bannings of students
with disciplinary records from pledging a fraternity or
sorority is beneficial to the student.

— John Tedesco

Equal standards

To The Editor:

In response to the front page article of Tuesday, March
18, regarding Catholic colleges and their possible closings
due to Vatican decrees, I must ask two questions.

Is it unreasonable to ask a Protestant or Jewish af-
filiated college to teach theology and philosophy classes
that support their religious beliefs? No. Then, why is it
unreasonable to ask Catholic colleges and universities to
teach theology and philosophy classes in support of their
beliefs? This appears to be a double standard.

It doesn’t seem to me that it’s too much to expect
religious affiliated schools to have teachers who have
“doctrinal integrity and uprightness of life.””

— Simone Havasy

Cut mandatory fees

To The Editor:

“To compel a man to furnish contributions of money
for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves is
sinful and tyrannical...’’; these words uttered by Thomas
Jefferson 200 years ago have been reaffirmed THIS
DAY! The Supreme Court of the United States has
upheld the decision of the Federal Appellate Court stating
that ‘‘...a system at Rutgers University under which
students were required to pay refundable $4 fees to sup-
port New Jersey Public Interest Research
Group...violated the FirstAmendment rights of students
not to be assessed fees to support ‘ideologically’ oriented
organizations with which they disagree.”

For too many years, the Student Association of the
State University (SASU), the New York Public Interest
Research Group (NYPIRG), and Student Associations of
individual campuses within the State University system
have been appropriating revenues through mandatory
student activity fees.

These student monies have been used to propagate the
personal political convictions of the leaderships of these
organizations. Prior to this moment, any student who ob-
jected to sponsoring the personal political activism of
these elite groups of students through the MANDATORY
student activity fee had no reasonable means of recourse.
A refusal to pay the student activity fee resulted in a stu-

dent’s records being withheld.

Therefore, we, dissenting students of the State Univer-
sity of New York at Albany, call upon the Student
Association of this University to cease and desist from
delivering portions of student monies to SASU,
NYPIRG, and any and all ideologically oriented campus
organizations. Furthermore, we demand that the funds
apportioned to these groups in this semester be im-
mediately refunded to all students.

Weak springs

To the Editor:

I would like to share my “‘Spring Break’’ experience
with you all. My friends and I booked a trip to the
Bahamas, through Student Travel Services, which was
sponsored by the Class of ‘87. We chose to stay in a
deluxe hotel, as opposed to budget or moderate, with
hopes of not staying in a dump. Well, for each of us pay-
ing $60.00 more than budget accommodations, we were
put in a room (if you could call it that) with 10 girls. Our
written confirmation was for a ‘‘quad/quint’’. I did not
even know these five other girls we were put with. We all
had to share one shower and one set of keys. We were
given washcloths to use as towels and the place was filthy.
The representative from the trip told us after we had com-
plained that he’d get back to us about moving us, but we
never heard from him. The hotel manager was totally
unaccommodating. Sleeping quarters consisted of a cou-
ple of mattresses on the floor here and there, a fold-up
couch, one double-bed (for 3 people), two single beds,
and a couch with a sheet thrown on it. We managed to
have fun in the end, but we were definitely ripped off.
I’ve also heard of others travelling with STS who had
complications. For those of you considering to spend Spr-
ing Break ‘87 in the Bahamas through Student Travel Ser-
vices, please reconsider.

A taste of Italy

To The Editor:

I would like to call the attention of students to tell them
of a great social and cultural organization right here on
campus. it’s the Italian-American Student Association.
First of all, you DON’T have to speak Italian or even be
Italian, because anyone can join. What does IASA do?
We organize parties such as Festa di Natale (the
Christmas Festival) and Festa di Primavera (the Spring
Festival). We organize bus trips to Montreal, Boston,
New York City (including trips to the Met.), and Camp
Dippikill. We also participate in campus events such as
Community University Day, World Week, and Group
Fair Day--and we never fail to have good food, a good
display, and a good time. So if you’re interested in getting
involved, having fun, and making some new friends, try
our organization. The Italian-American Student Associa-
tion has meetings 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday nights in the
Education Building, room 126.

Open the doors

To the Editor:

On my way to my Theater class on March 14th, I was
surprised to see a handicapped woman in a wheelchair
waiting between the first and second set of doors for so-
meone to let her in. After I held the door for her, she
thanked me and told me to ‘‘Have a nice day.” I was
shocked to see that she was not upset or outraged by the
fact that she had to wait there for someone to come by
and let her in. Who knows how long she waited or how
many times she’s been late to her classes because of this?

’m sad to say that I’ye never noticed that there are elec-
tric door openers on the outside doors which is helpful,
but what good are they if once you got into the building
you couldn’t get through the second set of doors? I can’t
believe that the University did not notice this problem
when the outside door openers were installed. I would like
to point out that not only are electronic door openers
needed for the outside doors, but for the second set of
doors as well, so this woman and other handicapped per-
sons will not have to wait for someone to come by to open
the door.

To further stress my point, the University is now con-
templating the construction of the Athletic Bubble and
starting a van service bringing students from all quads to
the gym. Although these new additions are beneficial,
they are not as important as treating the handicapped
equally.

In conclusion I’d like to express my concern about this
matter and hope that something can be done to correct
this unfortunate error which never should have gone un-
noticed for so long.

Prof reveals music videos

may desensitize students

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — Music videos
can desensitize college students to
violence, a survey of 700 midwestern col-
legians has found.

The study, released last week by assis-
tant professor Sharaf Rehman of West
Texas State, found that after viewing
music videos for a while, students became
less capable of perceiving increasing levels
of violence in the videos.

Rehman also found students tend to ex-
cuse violence in videos done by performers
they like, and that women students in his
EERE TOC

“7 think the coupling
of violence and sexual
imagery is troubling.’’

— Joseph Dominick

study tended to view themselves as victims
of violence.

They’re not the only ones disturbed. A
growing body of scholarly research seems
to be supporting contentions that music
videos often are unduly violent or sexual.

“1 think the coupling of violence and
sexual imagery is troubling,”’ University of
Georgia media researcher Joseph
Dominick said.

Dominick and colleague Barry Sherman
recently studied 165 ‘‘concept’’ music
videos shown on MTV and two other sta-
tions that feature music videos, WNBC
and WTBS, and found about 55 percent of
the videos featured at least one violent
episode.

The musical carnage ranks second only
to prime-time network television, during

April 4th & 5th
at 9:00 in the
CAMPUS CENTER

BALLROOM

which 60 percent of the shows feature at
least one incident of violence.

While Dominick has no_ scientific
measure of how popular music videos are
among college students, he said he believes
they are “big on campus from my casual
analysis.’”

“You may be teaching a young, impres-
sionable audience that the two things (sex
and violence) go together,”’ he said.

The Georgia and West Texas studies
confirmed other observers’ discomfort.
“My tolerance level lasts ten to fifteen
minutes because of the way they portray
violence and women as sex objects,”’ said
Judy Byrd of the Sisters of Justice in Can-
ton, Ohio, about videos.

Dominick and Sherman contend ‘in
many cases, women were presented as
upper-class sex objects for lower-class
males with visions of upward mobility.””

They determined social status from
clothes, jewelry, and cars in the shows.

“We are making inferences, but I think
they are valid inferences,”? Dominick said,
noting Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” with
Christie Brinkley and Bruce Springsteen’s
“I’m on Fire’? as examples of upward
aspiring males seducing rich females.

“YT think there is some validity to the
survey’s point,’ said Bill Chapman, direc-
tor of creative services for WTBS in
Atlanta.

Chapman says WTBS doesn’t show
videos featuring “‘excessive”’ violence or
degrading sex.

“I would never run a picture of someone
shooting someone else,” he said, adding
his channel, unlike cable operations, must
meet Federal Communications Commis-
sion regulations.

MTV officials did not respond to calls
on the subject of how violent or sexual
videos may be;-or how they might affect
viewers. Oo

Campus apartheid protestors more aggressive

State College, PA
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The newest
round of campus anti-apartheid
demonstrations indicates protestors — and
their opponents — may be switching to
different tactics.

It seems to be, one Penn State student
said, time “‘to be more aggressive.”

In recent months, students have erected
purposefully-unsightly “‘shantytowns”’ to
illustrate campus links to racism and
poverty in South Africa, tried to enforce
boycotts of Coca-Cola products, staged a
few more sit-ins and, most frightening of
all to some administrators, threatened to
interfere with college efforts to recruit
minority students if their schools don’t sell
interests in firms that do business in South
Africa.

Black students at Penn State several
weeks ago began boycotting campus ac-
tivities, wearing black armbands, refusing
to spend money at campus shops and pro-
mising to obstruct minority student
recruitment.

Penn State is under a court mandate to
increase minority enrollment to five per-
cent by 1987. Minorities now comprise 3.7
percent of the school’s students.

At about the same time, Dartmouth
students protested when the administra-
tion ‘‘kidnapped’’ a shack erected to sym-
bolize the plight of South African blacks.

Stanford students also built a shan-
tytown that ultimately was defaced by
unknown vandals last week. The Dart-
mouth shanties earlier had been vandalized
by self-professed conservative students.

And on January 24, about sixty
students, provoked by a campus speech by
South African Bishop Desmond Tutu,

_ briefly occupied the office of Cal-Santa

Barbara Chancellor Robert Hutenback.
The students left before being arrested,
but as confrontations spread, other ad-

listen. 442-5777

ministrators are beginning to crack down
on protestors.

In mid-January, a UCLA court placed
three anti-apartheid protestors on
academic probation.

Penn State President Bryce Jordan said
the administration ‘“‘regrets very much”
the students’ choice of tactics.

“T personally believe that the Black
Students Coalition Against Racism’s cur-
rent effort to link the call for divestment
with a boycott of minority recruitment
programs at Pennsylvania State University
is a course that if successful will hurt black
students,’ he wrote in an official reply to
the students’ threats.

“*We went through all the normal pro-
tests,”’ said Lawrence G. Patrick, presi-

Albany
(AP) The state Legislature has set aside
$500,000 for college scholarships for
black South Africans as part of the new
state budget being adopted this week.

“[’m more excited about that than
everything else,”’ state Senate Finance
Committee Chairman John Marchi (R-
Staten Island) said Tuesday.

The money for the special scholar-
ships is to be included as part of the
state’s new state budget being approved
this week at the state Capitol, said the
veteran legislator.

Marchi said legislation to implement
the new program would have to be pass-
ed later, but he said there was a leader-
ship agreement to use the money as a
constructive way of combatting apar-
theid in South Africa.

Last month, Marchi and Assembly
Deputy Speaker Arthur Eve (D-Buffalo)

dent of the Black Caucus at Penn State.
“‘We felt we had no choice but to get more
aggressive.””

Black students refused a meeting with a
group of advisors to the board of trustees
last week.

“We want to meet with the trustees
themselves,’”’ Patrick said, reflecting the
hard-line policy he said the coalition has
adopted.

“They didn’t know how to deal with us
at first,’’ he said. ‘Their first statement
was that these students are misguided,
(and) we’re being misguided — by the
trustees and the president.””

The boycott already has evoked a
stronger reaction than any previous pro-

proposed legislation that would set up
the program for distributing the scholar-
ships to 100 qualified black South
Africans attending New York’s public
and private colleges and universities.

Earlier this year, the Republican con-
trolled Senate blocked legislation that
would have called for the state’s pension
systems to eliminate their investments in
companies that do business in South
Africa.

Questioned about any possible con-
nection between that and the scholar-
ships, Marchi spokesman Gerald
McLaughlin said the new program “‘is
not a token substitute for anything.’’

“We're trying to do something
significant for black South African
young people,”’ he said.

The scholarships, which will be ad-
ministered by the state’s Higher Educa-
tion Services Corporation, could be us-
ed to pay for tuition, books, fees, and

tests, administrators concede.

“Before, the anti-apartheid activities
were strictly educational. This threatens to
keep the process (of minority recruitment)
from working,” said William Asbury, vice
president for student activites at Penn
State and a black educator who helped im-
plement the university’s minority recruit-
ment program.

The students adopted the ‘‘aggressive’””
tactics after the trustees voted in January
to maintain $5.5 million invested in South
African companies that adhered to the
Sullivan Principles.

The Sullivan Principles call for com-
panies to integrate their South African
workplaces and improve employees’ living
conditions.

other related expenses. Marchi said he
hoped the program would be sup-
plemented with financial aid from
private corporations and foundations.
“We know from the American ex-
perience what education can do to help
improve the plight of the poor and the
disadvantaged,’’ Marchi and Eve said in
a joint statement issued earlier. ‘‘Our
objective in this proposal is to help put
young South African blacks into posi-
tion to obtain the skills they need to
function in the technological, profes-
sional, and managerial workplaces.

The lawmakers said under the terms
of their proposed program, students
would have to be residents of South
Africa at the time they were selected for
the scholarships. And they would con-
tinue receiving $5,000 scholarships for
each of the four undergraduate college
years. ia)

Mac Eachron in center and right
field respectively. Last season,
Saccocio, a Schenectady native,
batted 291 and singled home the
game winning run in the Danes’
9-8 win over LeMoyne.

Martilla, who may also spend
time on the pitcher’s mound, led
the team last season with a 388
batting average.

Mac Eachron, who hails from
Granville is, according to
Zaloom, one of the hardest work-
ing atheletes he has ever coached.

clude Poughkeepsie sophomore
Craig Wallace, who batted 297
last season, and freshman Joe

Simmons, (Glen Cove).

senior Dave Hennessey, an ex-
cellent defensive player, accor-
ding to Zaloom, whose offensive
performance should improve this
season as well.

“Dave has an excellent attitude
and is a key to our team unity,’’
said Zaloom.

Newcomers include freshman
Tom Bravata, (Kings Park), and
Pete Reinisch, a junior transfer
from Oneonta.

The pitching staff, which ac-
cording to Zaloom, was
hampered by injuries last season,
should be stronger this season due
to the recovery by Fletcher of a

baseman Howard Hammond,
who had reached first on a walk,
then moved to third on shortstop
Dave Theleran’s single. Ham-

mond scored again in the fifth by»

reaching first on a walk, moving
to third on Theleman’s double,
and scoring on leftfielder Fred
Saccocio’s sacrifice fly.

The Dane’s final run came in
the sixth, when first baseman
Adam Pullman reached first on a
walk, then was replaced by pinch
runner Brian Simmons, who stole
second. Simmons reached third
on second baseman Bob Petter-
son’s single and scored when
Hammond reached first on an
error.

The second game was started
by Bob Tobias, who pitched for 6
1/3 innings, striking out four and
allowing the games only earned
run. Sophomore Steve McCloy
relieved Tobias in the seventh.
Saccocio, Fletcher and center
fielder Bob Martilla all drove in
two runs apiece, Saccocio and
Fletcher went two for two, and
Saccocio scored twice. Addi-
tionally, freshman leftfielder Joe
Pirecca hammered in the second
for his first collegiate hit.

‘All in all, it was a better per-
formance than we had expected
for this early in the season,” said
Fletcher. ‘‘Going South definitely
helped also, it gave us a better
idea of how we’re hitting. When
you’re inside and hitting into a
batting cage you can’t tell if what
you hit was a double or a single.’

“We didn’t leave many runners
in scoring position, which was
good,”” said Zaloom. “But our
base running needs to sliarpen up.
That’s one thing we’ve got to im-
prove on.’”

The Danes travelled to North
Adams Massachusettes yesterday
to play North Adams State, and
will return for home
doubieheaders against Cortland
State on Saturday and Hartwick
College on Sunday. Both games
will begin at 1:00. oO

cher had surgery on the Cuff in
November of 1984 and feels he is
now close to 100 percent
recovered. Prior to the injury, his
fastball had been clocked at 93
mph.

“We had originally thought it
was tendonitis,” said Fletcher
who led the team in complete
games last season with three.
“But I’m back now, and strong,
close to 100 percent.’”

Joining Fletcher in the starting
rotation will be Bob Tobias, a
senior from Seaford. Last season,
Tobias recorded the Danes’ 3-2
win over C.W. Post.

Albany sophomore Al Pedley,

New on the Dane pitching staff
this season are sophomores Tom

Ron Damiani, (Baldwin), and
freshmen Mike DiSanto,(White

Elkin. ‘‘A couple of sore arms

The Danes will face essentially
the same opponents as they did
last season. C.W. Post was drop-

cluded this year are North Adams

New Paltz State.

“We haven’t made things any
easier as far as scheduling goes,””
said Zaloom. ‘‘We try to measure
our program against programs

show that we can play at their

Ramapo State, a team that had

last season. Starting for the Danes
was Fletcher, who gave up only
two hits and no runs over eight in-
nings. Wallace went two for two
and scored twice, and Petterson,
Licciardi, and Pirecca all drove in
two runs each.

“The trip went well in the
beginning,” said Zaloom. ‘We
found that our indoor work really

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
with four victories over Spring
Break, the Albany State women’s
softball team defeated St. Rose
on Tuesday and split a
doubleheader with Cortland
yesterday to bring their record to
a solid 7-2 mark.

The team has many returning
starters, consisting of captains
Wendy Williams and Carmen
Guzman, Monique Romano,
Beth Wolf, Sheila Littleton, and
Kathy Chichester. The team also
has many promising freshmen, in
starters Regena Nejman, Patty
Farrell, and Dawn Mackey.

“1m really impressed with the
freshmen that we have playing,’’
said coach Lee Rhenish. ‘‘This
team probably has the most talent
and makings of one of the best
teams that we’ve ever had here.”

The team started their season
with a spring training session in
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Albany brought home four vic-
tories from the session. Three of
the wins were against Division 111
schools, Ramapo College, N.J.
(14-3), Moravian College, Penn-
sylvania (5-3), and Heidelberg
Community College, Ohio (1-0).

The only loss suffered by
Albany was a near miss against

Division 1 Bucknell (1-0). “I
think that the games in South
Carolina helped a great deal and
set us off to a good start,’’ said
coach Rhenish adding that ‘‘Be-
ing togethr a week helps build
some togetherness in the team.”

On Tuesday, the players con-
tinued their winning streak with
two victories in a doubleheader

SUNY Cortland was first in the
league last year, and is curently
ranked thirteenth in the nation.
However, Albany was first in the
state in Division 111 last year, and
is proving to still be tough
competition.

The tough competition brought
out good performances. ‘‘Patty

half of the first game. St. Rose
pulled ahead 7-5 in the fifth inn-
ing yet Albany still won by scor-
ing three runs in the top of the
seventh to win the game 8-7.

The second game was called
after five innings with Albany
winning, 9-0. Littleton had four

Williams and Beth Wolf did very
well today as a pitcher and cat-
cher combination,’ she added.
Williams, a senior, won the
Albany’s Outstanding Sports
Award for 1985.

The game was highlighted by a
double play made by Littleton
and Chichester. Concerning the
first game, the coach said, ‘We
had a good chance to win it but
we had a bad sixth inning. We
made a few errors and they were
able to score. Execution in this
game is extremely important.’”

Albany was supported by a
small group of students who came
to watch us,’ said the coach.
Albany’s next games are Tuesday,
April 8, against New Paltz, at

“I think that we’re off to a
great start. We had a great pre-
season conditioning and that’s
‘paying off now,” said Rhenish.
“With work and discipline at the
plate and decisiveness, this could
be Albany’s best softball team

Dane netwomen shut out by Skidmore in opener

By Danny Rosenthal -

In the past year, Albany. State’s

women’s tennis team has had a rough time

i getting started in the spring season. This
spring has proved to be no exception.

In their season opener on Wednesday
afternoon, they were shut out, 9-0, by
Skidmore University, one of the state’s top
teams.

Head coach Linda Myers said that “‘the
match was a bit disappointing.’’ This was
an understatement.

Myers felt that playing Skidmore in their
first match this season was a bad break for
her team, who’s been preparing for two
months. We’ve been practicing for three
and a half weeks under adverse

conditions.””

She didn’t expect for Albany to win this
first match, but had hoped for some of her
players to fare better. In first singles,
Albany’s Geri Chiodo was beaten handily,
6-0, 6-0, by All-American Pam Thomp-

son. The-final.score.in. this match didn’t
accurately reflect Chiodo’s performance,
however.

“*Geri was hitting prety well and there
were a lot of outstanding points,’’ com-
mented Myers.

Freshman Karen Levy was defeated 6-3,
6-2, in her first second singles match of the
new season. ‘She played some excellent
tennis,” said Myers. ‘‘Her first serve,
which is one of the stronger elements in her
game, deserted her in the second set.’”

Liz Feinberg, a junior, who has moved
up one’ slot from last semester, came on
late in her third singles match, only to lose
6-2, 6-4. In fourth singles, Ellen Katz was
beaten, 6-2, 6-1.

Natalie Goldberg had her troubles in
fifth singles, losing 6-1, 6-0, while senior
co-captain Nancy Forbes played extreme-
ly well in a losing effort. Her score was
6-2, 7-5. She was down 5-0 in the final set
and managed to even the score at 5-5
before finally losing.

Skidmore’s doubles teams proved to be
far superior Wednesday. Chiodo and Levy
suffered a 6-2, 6-1 defeat in first doubles,
while the second doubles team of Katz and
Goldberg was beaten, 6-1, 6-1. Fellow
senior co-captains Nina Cheung and
Forbes were downed in third doubles, 6-2,
6-2. .

Albany’s defeat in this match was not
suprising. Skidmore is a much stronger
team with more experience. Albany’s team
is fairly young, carrying only two seniors.

Coach Myers chooses to be realistic
about her team’s chances this season.
**Our record this season probably will not
exceed our fall record,’ which was 6-5.
“‘We have a young team and a very rough
scheduls.’””

In their 11 matches this season, nine will
be played with private schools, which have
traditionally had stronger teams than
public universities.

“Not trying to make excuses, but this
season is very short and we have had a
minimal amount of practice time,” said
Myers. At the end of last season, we lost to
Skidmore, but it was a much closer

match.”
The team’s goals for this season are to

continue to. grew.and develop. . to try. to
equal last seasons winning record, and to
be ready to flourish in the fall.

“‘We have some very strong players who
have won a lot of good matches in the
past,’’ commented Myers in an optomistic
tone. ‘‘If our players like Chiodo, Levy,
Feinberg, and Katz continue to perform in

*86 Great Danes: Play ball

By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER

Though it went by undetected
by most, there was according to
the Dane baseball team, a damag-
ing power shortage at Albany
State last spring.

“Last season was frustrating
becuse we played hard and we
played good baseball but we lack-
ed power,” said Albany State
head coach Ed Zaloom, whose
team finished with a 12-13-1
overall record and an 8-4 con-
ference record last season. ‘‘We
did what we could do, but people
out-powered us, 27 home runs to
our three.’”

The Danes finished second in
the SUNYAC last season, the one
game margin between themselves
and Binghamton being a heart-
breaking 4-1 loss to the Colonials,
a game in which Albany left eight
men on base in the first three
innings.

“That game was an example of
our not being able to get the hit
when we needed it,’ said Zaloom.

““We were underachievers last
season,’ said junior outfielder
Fred Saccocio. “‘We had and stil!
do have, the best team in the
SUNYAC. We didn’t hit as well
as we should have, only around
250 as a team.”

Inconsistent pitching was
another detriment to the Danes’
85 season.

“We didn’t accomplish our
goals as far as the pitching went
last season,’’ said Zaloom.
“Sometimes it was good,
sometimes it was not.’

“The first few games we really

got rocked,” said sophomore
reliever Steve McCloy. ‘Our
ERA was up around 6.00.
Sometimes we would lose 10-1,
then we would win 4-2.”

“Our team ERA was 6.29,”
said pitching coach Denny Elkin.
“But that’s pretty misleading,
when athletes are only pitching
20-30 innings, one bad outing can
really ruin an ERA.’”

This season, however, the
nucleus of the team has returned,
with only second baseman Tony
Torres, outfielder Mike Vosborgh
and catcher Ted Dicks being lost
to graduation.

“Everyone has a year’s more
experience and is more powerful
this year,” said Zaloom. ‘We'll
be able to drive the ball further.”’

“We followed a weight training
program in the off season,”’ said
senior Chris Fletcher, a pitcher
returning for his third season as a
team captain. ‘‘You can see that
this year there’s a lot more power
within everybody; there’ll be that
threat of us getting that extra
base.””

Fletcher himself will be con-
tributing to the team’s power
search by playing first base when
not pitching.

“Pye always felt that I could
do a lot for the team as a batter,””
said the 6’2”’ 185 Ib. Tupper Lake
native, ‘Now I’ll have the oppor-
tunity and I’m glad.”

Plattooning with Fletcher, at
first will be sophomore Adam
Pullman. Pullman, who hails
from Rego Park, bats lefthanded
and led the team in RBI’s last
season.

Replacing Torres, who is
presently an assistant coach along
with Tom Whitely and Stu Baller
at second, is Bayshore sophomore
Rob Petterson. Petterson was a
utility man last year and though
used sparingly batted 300.

*Rob’s got good range, he’s a
beautiful fielder,” said Zaloom.
“* He’s going to be good this
season.’?

Third base will be handled by
Howard Hammond, a junior
from Huntington Station. Ham-
mond had an_ all-conference
season as a freshman, batting
close to 400, but didn’t enjoy the
same success as a sophomore.

“Howard is tough, a real com-
petitor,” said Zaloom. ‘‘I expect
that he’ll be back to where he was
two years ago.”’

At short, the Danes boast the
prowess of all-conference senior
Dave Theleman.

Theleman, a Binghamton
native who shares the captain’s
position along with Fletcher, bat-
ted 300 last season and hit two of
the team’s three home runs.

“Dave is consistent both at the
plate and on the field,’ said
Zaloom.

Backups for the infield include
Bayshore sophomore Rudi Lic-
cardi, who DH’d last year and
batted 300, and Jim Ross, a
junior from Stony Brook who is
playing his first season this year.

“The left side of our infield is
good as that of any Division I
team,’’ said Saccocio.

Last season, the Albany State Baseball team’s inability to clutch hit
resulted in a key 4-1 loss to the Binghamton Colonials, a loss that cost
Albany the SUNYAC title. Wednesday, however, clutch hitting
along with an increase in power hitting and solid pitching allowed the
Danes to avenge this loss by taking both ends of a twin bill from the
Colonials, 4-2 and 10-1.

“There were three things about these games that made me especial-
ly happy.” said head coach Ed Zaloom. ‘‘One was the pitching of
Chris Fletcher. Another was our clutch hitting, which came through
for us in three key situations. The third was an indication of power
hitting.”

Fletcher started the first game for the Danes, and threw a complete
game in which he struck out six, walked one, and did not give up any
earned runs. Fletcher helped his own cause by hammering in the se-
cond inning to give the Danes their first run of the game. It was Flet-
cher’s first official at bat in a league game at Albany.

“T felt I was on the money control-wise.’” said Fletcher. “My arm
feels great, it’s back to about 90-95 percent, and we’re working on
100 percent.’’

3-2 Albany netmen overwhelm Binghamton, 7-2

“‘We worked out tough all week and the team as a whole

got into better shape after such a long Winter Break.”
Last spring, Grossman made it to the Div. III NCAA

While most students were frolicking on the beaches of
the southeast coast over Spring Break, the tennis team
was hard at work on the courts of Atlanta, Georgia,
amassing a 2-2 record. The Danes returned on Tuesday
and rolled over Binghamton, 7-2, on the Colonials’ home
courts.

Binghamton, who finished third in the SUNYACs last
fall behind first place Albany and second place Buffalo,
was not ready to face the more prepared Albany team.

In the first match, in what was a windy and rough day
in Binghamton, senior Dave Grossman defeated Rob
Grunfast, 6-4, 6-4.

Senior co-captains Jay Eisenberg and Tom Schmitz
each won their matches by 6-2, 6-3 scores.

Sophomore Steve Greenberg won 7-6, 6-3 and the other
two singles matches were lost by Dave Zebler, 6-3,4-6,
6-4, and Mike Dermansky, 7-6, 1-6, 6-1.

In doubles play Albany won all three matches. At first
doubles Schmitz and Grossman won 6-0, 6-1 while the
Eisenberg and Dermansky team and the Greenberg-
Gibson duo also secured victories of 6-2, 6-0 and 7-5, 6-4,
respectfully.

Over Spring Break, Albany was tested early by a strong
team from Emery University, which is ranked in the top
eight teams in DivisionIII nationally. The Danes lost the

_ match, 8-0. The second loss of the tourney came at the
hands of the Div. III University of Wisconsin-
Whitewater by a 7-2 tally.

Head coach Bob Lewis said, ‘‘those first 2 losses were
our first outdoor matches the whole season, and the
teams we faced were better prepared for outdoor play at
that point in the season. We did get a lot of experience
and that’s to help us with the rest of the season.’’

Senior Dave Grossman plays first singles for the Great
Danes.

Next the team met and defeated Principia College, out
of Illinois, by a score of 5-4. In the fourth match of the
week, the Danes were Victorious again in a 5-4 decision
over Morehouse College from the host city of Atlanta.

Tournament in singles play where he won his first match
before being dominated in his second. He and Schmitz
also made the tourney in the doubles category, but lost
the first match to a number six nationally-seeded team
from California. This year one of the goals of the team is
to repeat that achievement and travel to Clermont Col-
lege, which lies 40 miles east of Los Angeles, California.

This spring season will be the last hurrah for four-year
veterans Grossman, Schmitz, Eisenberg, and Dermansky.
Since the fall season the Danes have lost freshman Bob
Siracuse who, after an 11-3 fall season, transferred. “It’s
a big loss as he was a talented doubles player and had
even more potential towards the end of last season,”’
commented coach Lewis.

This year the Danes have a shot at the all-time win
record for an Albany tennis team. The previous record
was 14 wins in 1976-77. This year the Danes have amassed
11 wins collectively with an 8-2 fall season and a 3-2 spr-
ing jump.

The two seasons are fairly similar for the Danes, ex-
cept that in the fall the team plays four tournaments and
seven matches, while in the spring Albany has no tour-
naments yet faces 16 matches, including the four played
over spring break.

“Our team does do well in the spring, but we play
tougher schools, so you can’t always measure it in wins
and losses,’’ said Lewis, who added, ‘‘we are playing with
a lot more experience in the spring, but we usually don’t
hit our stride until mid-season.”

The toughest competition Albany will face has to come
from the strong teams of Colgate, Cornell, Williams,
Amherst and Concordia. Since all of these teams are
talented, there are no easy wins for the Danes. Oo
