S.A. Media director fired after repeated errors

Gelles seeks reinstatement to office despite executive branch preferences

. VOLUME LXXX

NUMBER 9

By JULIE RISINIT

The position of Student Association
media director is once again vacant. On
November 17, Adam Gelles was fired by
SA president Chris Hahn.

According to Hahn, Gelles had not
been getting his job done. Gelles was
fired for several reasons, on which Hahn
Said it was not proper for him to elabo-
rate.

“Gelles wasn’t getting his job done.
The Student Association was suffering,”
Hahn said.

Gelles, who was also the acting editor-
in-chief of The Student Voice, which is
funded by student activity fees, had failed
to distribute the Parents’ Weekend issue
of the newspaper. Programming director
Cliff Lent told Central Council the wrong
computer disk had been sent to the print-
ers and the newspaper was printed with
numerous mistakes.

insert contracted by Quail Hollow events
for a craft fair to be held at the Thruway
Inn was to be included in the newspaper.
Since the issue was not distributed, Gelles
was to hand out the several thousand
inserts to students on campus, which he
also failed to do, Hahn said

There is talk of legal action, and a suit
may be filed against SA because of
Gelles’ failure to distribute the inserts,
Hahn said. Gelles did acknowledge this.

“I did make mistakes,” Gelles said,
“but I do believe there was an alternative
motive to my being fired, not just my lack
of competence.”

Hahn said the position of media direc-
tor is a “tough job, but not impossible.”

“Tt just needs to be done by a compe-
tent individual,” he said.

“I was working very hard in the office,”
Gelles said.

Although he was holding a part-time
job in addition to being SA media direc-

Hahn approached him about problems in
the media office, which included lack of
organization and not enough work getting
done.

“I quit my job to focus more on the
media office. Hahn felt that this was not
enough of a gesture — it was too little too
late,” Gelles said.

According to Karima Wilkins, Central
Council chair, the SA President and

_ Vice-President have the power to recall

Student Association appointments.
Appointments are confirmed through two
Central Council votes. When an appoint-
ment is made to SA, the appointee goes
before an internal provisional subcommit-
tee to answer question. The subcommit-
tee votes, followed by a vote of the whole
floor of the Central Council. Gelles failed
the subcommittee vote, Wilkins said, but
he was confirmed when the floor voted
for him.

Wilkins said that now Gelles’ appoint-
ment has been recalled, he will go before

According to Hahn, an advertising

tor, Gelles said he did quit his job when

an internal affairs committee of the
Central Council. The committee will
review complaints form Hahn and SA
Vice President Erik Karlund, and share
the findings with the council. The council
will then vote to either support Hahn’s
firing of Gelles or to overturn his deci-
sion.

However, Wilkins said, Gelles can
choose to resign instead of undergoing
this process. But, Gelles has said that he
will not resign.

This incident is reminiscent of last
spring, when SA media director Elliot
Perez was terminated. There was some
question as to whether he was fired or if
he resigned. The reason given by former
SA Vice President Mike Williams for
Perez’s termination was his poor job per-
formance.

Gelles acknowledged this year’s similar
turn of events.

“The media office job isn’t supposed to
be political, but it is,” Gelles said.

“You can’t hide behind free

Jews are under attack — united

“It’s a shame that NWROC is

Kahane ended his speech by calling
for a mass migration to Israel by
American Jews. Speaking directly to
the students present, Kahane said,
“Your future doesn’t belong in
Albany... come join me in Israel. We

have been strangers too long.”

Before the speech several members
of the groups sponsoring Kahane were
attacked. Medical treatment was

Meir Kahane comes to SUNYA

November 5, 197]—

In a generally warm reception
marred by isolated outbursts of oppo-
sition, Rabbi Meir Kahane of the
Jewish Defense League spoke to a
packed house on Monday night in the
Campus Center Ball.room. Stressing
Jewish pride, Kahane began his
speech by blasting those of his faith
“who do not find the moral imperative
to chain themselves to the White
House wall” for Jewish causes. “This
criminal silence,” Kahane said, “will
forever be a stain on Jewish memory.
We did not do for our own as we did
for everyone else.”

Addressing himself to the problems

_of American Jewry, Kahane touched
upon some of the causes. According
to Kahane, a decline in pride and reli-
gion has been one problem. “It is
time... to stop worrying about being
loved. The world will never love a
Jew until it respects him. And the

world will never respect a Jew until he
respects himself.”

Kahane presented a

and the Attica prisoners |

Man suspected for lewdness

Students report male fondling and masturbating i in public

By HERB TERNS
Associate News Editor

The Albany Police Department in
conjunction with the. University
Police Department yesterday
released information and a compos-
ite drawing of an individual suspect-
ed of public lewdness and harass-
ment charges.

Three incidents have occurred
downtown in recent weeks where on
and off campus downtown students
have reported to police a young male
fondling himself and masturbating in
their presence.

A 21 year old female student on
the 200 block of Ontario Street went
out to her car to get some books,
when she witnessed the suspect mas-
turbating, said A.P.D. Lieutenant
Robert Wolfgang.Upon seeing the
student, the suspect fled the scene,
he said.

Wolfgang said on October 30th, a
17 year old female resident of Alden

accompanied the composite, states

Hall on Alumni Quad walked from
the Price Chopper one block back to
the downtown campus. The suspect
reportedly followed the student and
repeatedly grabbed his crotch.

On November 4th, two female stu-
dents were walking the track around

the football field next to Alumni

Quad when they noticed the sus-
pect following them. They ran
when they saw he was masturbat-
ing.

James Williams, director of
U.P.D., said the suspect has not
tried to touch the females involved.
A letter by Williams, which

“the individual described repre-
sents a threat to the well-being of
our students, especially in the area
adjacent to Alumni Quad.”

Charles Rogers, residence direc-
tor of Alumni Quad, said informa-
tion about the suspect was being
posted around Alumni Quad and
each resident of the Quad received
a letter last night with a descrip-

tion of the suspect. -

Information provided by the
Albany Police Department describes
the suspect as a white male, approxi-
mately 16-19 years of age. He is
described as having a medium build,
being 5’8”- 5’10” tall, and weighing
approximately 141-160 pounds.

New parking

By IRENA BRIGANTI
Staff Writer

The Albany Police Department
has introduced a new computerized
ticket-writing system which, Lt.
Robert Wolfgang of the Albany
Police Department said “expedites
the work of police officers” and
“reduces the number of errors in the
hand-writing of tickets.”

The new tickets, similar to the
ones issued by the University Police
Department here at SUNYA, are
issued by Albany’s public safety
officers through a scanning device
which reads the registration sticker
of the car in violation.

“The hand-held ticket—writers are
rugged, weatherproof, and

lightweight, which enables parking
enforcement officers to issue parking
tickets which are legible with a sin-
~ gle entry of data for each ticket,”
Wolfgang said.

The new ticket—writing method

tickets make = efficient

allows officers to fine vehicles which
violate parking rules and regulations,
based upon a computer read-out.

“The traditional method was more
time-consuming, requiring multiple
notations for each ticket issued,”
Wolfgang said.

The new system also provides
detailed information about the car’s
records. Wolfgang said, “Once the
license plate number is entered, the
computer will display to the parking
enforcement officer information
indicating whether the vehicle is a
repeat offender or a stolen vehicle.”
The computer will also provide the
number of unpaid tickets the car has
accumulated, if any at all.

Wolfgang said students living off-
campus should be informed that
“there are now two types of parking
tickets that they could be subjected
to” and that the new system has the
ability to check their car’s records.

Common area billing will benefit the students

By BRIDGET BOSWORTH
Editorial Assistant

With the first billing of com-
mon area damage being sent out
at the beginning of December,
students raise questions about the
fairness of this new policy.

“An attempt will be made to
identify students responsible for
loss or damages. Failure to iden-
tify appropriate individuals will
result in an equal assessment to
all students associated with the
common area,” states the terms
and conditions housing contract,
which every SUNYA student
must sign.

“The whole idea behind it, mak-
ing students accountable for
where they live is good but there
are a lot of problems with the
technicalities...Such as people
coming in who do not live here
and doing damage,” said Nora

Moriarty, central council repre-
sentative for Alumni Quad.

The policy took effect at the
beginning of this academic
semester said Carol Perrin, assis-
tant director of Residential Life,
facilities and operations.

“We implemented it after
many attempts to decrease van-
dalism. We hope students will
take more responsibility for
where they live,” Perrin said.

In Alden Hall, and similarly in
a number of other halls on cam-
pus, there are currently charges
for common area damage. “There
was writing in the bathroom, a
window was broken, and some-
one threw up in the hall. But
everyone turned in the person
who threw up and he had to pay
to have the rug cleaned,”
Moriarty said.

“T really think [the new poli-
cy] is such a small amount of

Perrin said he disagrees, “I
have documented cases of stu-
dents either returning stolen
property or turning in vandals
occurring,” Perrin said .

Another objection raised was
the fact resident assistants are
exempt from the billing, while
other staff members are not.

“We're all staff, we all have a
good idea about what is going on
in the quad, it’s not fair that RA’s
are excluded from the billing,”
said Michelle Florio a student
assistant for Indian Quad.

“The reason RA’s are exempt
is that they are the ones enforc-
ing the policy, not the ones caus-
ing the damage,” Perrin said;

“In terms of random people
walking in here, we’re more sus-
ceptible,” Moriarty said after
Alumni residents questioned
fairness because of location.

“On Alumni these doors are
locked 24 hours a day,” Perrin
said.

Perrin said he thinks that it
will help to reduce the rise in

Oppression hurts and hinders

By ASHISH PRABHAKAR
Staff Writer

The mental health of Black stu-
dents in white supremacist insti-
tutions was the topic of a lecture
sponsored by the Albany State
University Black Alliance on
Wednesday.

Dr. Marcia Sutherland, author
and professor of Black Psychology,
gave a lecture on how Black stu-
dents should cope with stress in a
white supremacist institution.

James Williams, pharaoh of
ASUBA, said the lecture was “an
important discussion in which
certain issues were raised that
need to be talked about.”

The lecture was a workshop
where Sutherland gave tips and
suggestions for dealing with psy-
chological problems encountered
by black students.“The mental
stress suffered by many Blacks
stems from psychological misori-
entation, which is a function of
global white supremacy, material-
istic depression, especially in
middle—aged and elderly blacks,”
Sutherland said.

Stress caused by these factors
“blocks constructive behavior
and hinders proper mental growth
and development,” Sutherland
said. “It is very important for
black individuals to internalize

Afro-centricity instead of inter-
nalizing European values,” she
said. Self-awareness among
black individuals was also
stressed by Sutherland.

“In every person, deep intro-
spection must occur,” Sutherland
said. “Black individuals need to
recognize that you can’t be
attached to oppression and hurt-
ing, and that you have to learn to
love yourself and Black people.”

Many of the Black students

present expressed their views and
shared their experiences with
institutionalized racism.
“A lot of times when you’re in
class and you find yourself deal-
ing with institutionalized racism
as a Black person, sometimes you
have to go outside yourself to
deal with it,” Robert Williams
said.

He also said, “You can’t
express your views, you stop and
say, ‘I don’t feel this is right,’
especially if you’re the only
Black person in the class, your
views conflict with what the insti-
tution is bringing to you.”

Other students attending the
conference expressed similar
views about expressing their per-
sonal views in class.

“You have to make decisions
as to whether or not you want to
deal with a struggle. Every fight
is not necessary; you’ll burn
yourself out. Choose your
fights,” was Dr. Sutherland’s
response to the students’ com-
plaints. “You have to make the
‘A’,” Sutherland said.

Israel” to the regime in South
Africa. She also said, “RZA and
JSC pledge allegiance to Israel,
which makes them Zionists —
enemies of the African people.”

When questioned by
Torossian, Assatta referred to
him as, “Ronn — the Arab
sell-out of RZA,” and said,
“When I look at you, I mistrust
you.” Torossian asked her if that
was not a racist statement, and
Assatta replied, “I have the
right to healthy paranoia...I look
at you as my enemy, if you
pledge allegiance to the country
that oppresses me.” She closed
her remarks with the quote, “If
negativity comes to you in a .22,
positivity comes to me in a .45.”

During the question and
answer period, the panel was
asked to make a distinction
between Jews and Zionists, since
the terms had been used inter-
changeably throughout the pre-
sentation. “The people that we
refer to as Jews are not the
Chosen People,” Mohammed
said, adding the Hebrews, “who
were black,” were the real
Chosen People, and the “people
that call themselves Jews
today are Caucasians.”

In response to discussion of
the controversies on campus,
Rosa Clemente, director of
Multi-Cultural Affairs, said,
“T’ve been called an anti-Semite
and a hater, but that’s okay,
because I love my people.”
Mohammed responded to
Ciemente and said, “The only
reason that I am an African and
you are a Latino, is because the
Englishman got a hold-of me,
and the Spaniard got a hold of you.”

A question was asked about
how Jews and Blacks could get
along in the University commu-
nity. “There has to be a relation-
ship built on _ equity,”
Mohammed said, “Jews have a
serious problem toward Black
people in general...When the
Jews say ‘Never again,’ we say
‘Never, never, never, never
again’.”

Kahane

continued from front page
Michael Guzofsky, a member of

Kahane Chai said, “A ‘Smash
—Kahane Rally,’ that is real brave.
Those haters outside have alot to be
frightened about. It bothers them that
all Jews are not apologetic wimps,
who are frightened of anti-semites
and ridden with the guilt complex of
thousands of years of persecution.”

“Rabbi Meir Kahane never spoke
words of hatred toward anybody. He
spoke words of love for the Jewish
people,” Guzofsky said, “There are
some people who learned a lesson
from the Holocaust, and the lesson is
that we will not stand idly by and
wait for others to save us. We support
‘Every Jew a .22,’ Jews arming
themselves to defend themselves,
because we believe that Jews cannot
count on anyone else.”

David Bendor, a member of
Kahane Chai, discussed the struggle
of the Jews in establishing a secure
State.

“You probably all watched the
great occasion of Prime Minister
Rabin shaking the hands of
Yasser Arafat. What does it
mean to me? Two murderers of
Jews shaking hands,” Bendor

said.“I wish to convey to you,
that if we want to raise our chil-
dren in security, in peace, and in
the pride of being Jewish, we
can follow only Binyamin
Kahane,” Bendor said in his
introduction of Kahane.

“My message is Judaism,”
Kahane said, “I am a Jew, and I
am a proud Jew. I want Jews
here to be proud too...you must
know what Judaism is about.”
He also addressed the issue of
Jews arming themselves in his
presentation. “Whoever spills the

- blood of a wicked man — he is

bringing a sacrifice to God,”
Kahane said, “If one comes to
slay, you slay him first. This is
Judaism, but it is also logic.”
Kahane also said, “The
Palestinians are the worst ene-
mies of the Jewish people...
Know this and remember this.”
A brief question and answer
period followed the discussion,
in which many people expressed
their outrage with the philoso-
phies of Kahane Chai, and others
pledged their support for the
mission of the organization.
“The views represented here

are not necessarily those of

RZA/TAGAR,” Ronn Torossian, because we feel that some of
president of RZA, said, “We
brought these speakers here

their views are shared with those
views of some of our members.”

IDITORIAIL

Division I... Is it time?

As the University at Albany cuts back on
academics, its sports department is as strong as
ever. However, are we really ready for a move to
Division I?

Two years ago, President H. Patrick Swygert
halted a move to Division I due to severe budget
problems and new National Collegiate Athletic
Association regulations. Whereas schools prior to
1991 could move revenue—generating sports to
Division I (i.e. Siena basketball and Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute hockey), new regulations
mandated that if one sport was moved, all others
had to follow.

Last year when the Recreation and Convocation
Center was finally completed, the University at
Albany found themselves with Division I facilities
and Division III teams. A change was inevitable.

Enter: Dr. Milton Richards. His resumé
certainly is impressive— Director of Athletics at
Kansas State and Assistant Director at Temple
University— all this, and still he is a youthful 34
years old.

President Swygert appointed Richards with the
hopes of breathing new life into a stagnant
UAlbany athletic program. What has happened
has exceeded all expectations.

First, Richards created a new logo and also
changed the official name from Albany State to
the University at Albany. He hoped this would
bring continuity and a more stable identity to the
University.

Attendance has increased considerably. Both
men and women’s teams have reached a new level
of success. More importantly, sponsorship and
revenue have increased.

Pepsi has doled out big bucks to erect a new
scoreboard on the soccer/lacrosse fields. Orange
Ford has sponsored events in which a new Ford
Escort is given away. Cable network ESPN even
joined in the festivities, filming a segment on
UAlbany for “Sportsnight” which was broadcast
nationally during primetime television.

So, has the University at Albany sacrificed their
academic standards of excellence to promote
sporting events?

Classes are being trimmed, leaving others
crammed full, yet UAlbany sports keeps on
ticking. Is this the message we should convey to
the public? Should we be saying, “Yes our classes
are overcrowded but have you seen our football
team lately?”

Of course, there will be critics who lash out at
the University for ignoring the long term goals
and taking advantage of the quick and easy
solution. But, are the University’s intentions really
being properly understood?

It is true that we are in an academic recession
and students are suffering, but we strongly believe
that the changes that are currently occurring are
the keys to the University’s future.

We all know that when high school students are
seeking a University to attend they are looking for
the most spirited and socially appealing schools.
The problem right now is that for any event that
occurs on this campus the student turn-out is
minimal. ;

Going Division I will bring the University at
Albany sports department into the spotlight,
creating an atmosphere that students will want to
be a part of. As much as people will put down the
idea of pep-—rallies and bonfires, most Universities
that students look to enroll in have these events as
a centerpiece of their student activities.

A school with more spirit is a school with more
money. Since the biggest problem with the
University right now is not having enough money
to fill our needs maybe Divisionn I is a step in the
right direction.

Generation Gap

In the last several months our generation has been under
attack by hundreds of publications and dozens of public
figures. Almost daily a major newspaper comes out with
some new survey in order to remind us of just how dumb we
are. One week it's our low S.A.T. scores, the next it’s a
survey showing that seventy percent of high school students
cheat. The attacks aren’t limited to academics either. Drug
and alcohol abuse amongst today’s youth are played up on
nightly news broadcasts, the anchors reacting in dismay, as if
they never took a bong hit. Also echoed throughout the
media is this generation’s apparent lack of sexual
responsibility. AIDS amongst teens and early twenties
college students is spreading like wildfire and teenage
pregnancies are hitting all time highs. The emphasis of all
reports is basically the same. Our generation has some how

Gary Neigeborn

screwed up. Unlike the magnificently enlightened Baby
Boomers, we have nothing positive to add to American
society and would do everybody a gigantic favor if we just
moved on to the afterlife. Yet while dumping on us few of
our detractors have taken the time out to explain why we
have had such problems. Even fewer of us have stepped
forward to tell all of our detractors why they should leave us
the hell alone. )

So the question must be asked, why are we screwing up so
badly? Well, I for one don’t think we are. We’re just doing

the best we can with the cards we’ve been dealt. .

Unfortunately we haven’t been dealt much of a hand. To start
with we are a generation completely devoid of role models.
Our earliest political memory is Nixon fleeing Washington
with Woodward and Bernstein hot on his trail. We’ve lived
through the Hostage Crisis, Iran Contra and the pardoning of
a criminal who was once our president. Faith in the
politicians is lost. They’re not role models, maybe they never
should have been. But we had to find that out first hand when
scandal after scandal was plastered up in neon lights. We
could no longer look to our political leaders for guidance! so
we turned to our entertainers. People just don’t seem to
realize the affect on a young child when he finds out that his
idol is a drug addict, an alcoholic or a criminal. The number
of athletes and entertainers who have fallen from grace right
before our eyes is too long to list here. Now where do we
turn? I guess in the direction we should have looked in the
first place, our parents. Only now they’re both working and
we’ve become the first generation in America given the
dubious distinction of latch-key kid. On top of that, in the
eighties more than half of the new marriages ended in
divorce, leaving many parents too engrossed in their own
problems to tend to their child’s needs. While all this is going
on young people are being bombarded with more intense
exposure to sex, drugs and violence than ever before. With
little guidance in many homes and none whatsoever from
public figures our generation took its problems to school.
Unfortunately in the 80’s the education system, like
America’s youth, was not a priority. I still remember Reagan
trying to declare ketchup a vegetable for school lunches. The
incident is a good indication of how unimportant the 80’s
generation thought we were. We were a generation
shell-shocked in grade school by problems we shouldn’t
have encountered until young adulthood. With no one to look
up to and everything to look out for we were robbed of our
innocence before our time.

At last count the national debt had topped out at about
thirteen trillion dollars. And guess what? We’re going to get
stuck paying for it. Because so many people in the 80’s lived
at a much higher level than they really could afford we’re
going to have to pay for their irresponsibility. More good

news: Experts now feel that the current job market is worse
for introductory level positions than it was during the Great
Depression. And people wonder why we’re not “involved.”
To all you Boomers out there: I don’t care about the spotted
owl, acid rain or the rain forests. I don’t have time for Flipper
who keeps getting himself caught in the tuna nets. I don’t
give a shit about saving the whales. You could try to save
the world because when you got tired of foolish idealism
there was employment. Don’t you understand that some of us
are going to have to fight like hell just to get a job?

About five years ago a former anti-war advocate named
Abbie Hoffman committed suicide. Best known for heading
the campaign to elect a pig president in 1968, Hoffman was
driven to depression by the apathy of today’s youth.
Apparently this poor bastard was the only hippie who missed
the boat when they all sold out, moved to the suburbs and
sent their kids off to private school. Aaah, the Baby Boomer.
One thing they have proven is that a Grateful Dead sticker
has no place on a B.M.W. The hippie turned yuppie
generation turned their idealism into wanton materialism and
greed.In between the Boomers' spirited attacks on our
generation these 60’s leftovers reminisce about the good old
days when people cared, their leaders were Gods and one
man could make a difference. Many of them enjoy nostalgia
so much that they open hippie paraphernalia shops where
they sell you 60’s artifacts for three times cost. These people
need a little humility. Hey guys, your generation wasn’t all
that great. You liberalized sex and drugs, which we’re now
paying for with AIDS and crack. You completely screwed up
the nuclear family when you divorced at the rate of a rabbit
copulating. Finally, though the truth hurts, you did nothing to
contribute to the end of the Vietnam War. That war, its
dismal end your claim to fame, raged longer than any war in
American history. Granted, we should have never been there
but running around half naked with flowers in your hair
didn’t get us home any sooner. We lost because the
Vietnamese people were willing to fight tooth and nail for a
piece of dirt. That’s all they had. As the French found out
prior to us, you’re not winning a war of attrition in that part
of the world. That war was lost in the jungles of Southeast
Asia so stop propagating the myth that you stopped the
fighting. I feel for those men sent off to die in that far off
place. I feel even worse for those who came back to a
country which ostracized them, as if the war was their fault.
So don’t quote John Kennedy’s speech “it’s what you can do
for your country.” Everybody knows that when the 80’s came
around the Baby Boomer milked this nation for all it was
worth, I really question how well the Boomer will be treated
by history. Something tells me that fifty years down the road
when I open a text you’ ll be defined by one word. Hypocrisy.

It is painstakingly obvious that our generation has been
dealt a raw deal. However, that is no excuse for throwing in
the towel. We are not the first generation in this country
saddled with economic and social hardship nor will we be
the last. All that we have encountered and all that we will
face together as a generation gives us no excuse to
collectively quit. We will have to work twice as hard for half
as much as those born 20 years earlier but we will be better
for it. There is a certain nobility in having to fight for
everything you get, never receiving a free ride. Maybe along
the way we’ll leave a better legacy to those who follow. The
Thirteenth Generation must rise like a phoenix from the
ashes and stake a claim in society. For if we fail we confirm
the beliefs of those who deride us. Maybe, someday, we too
will be able to lead the good life. I only hope that we'll be
more responsible with success than our predecessors.

Another Kick in the A

There seem to be a lot of sexually frustrated people
on this campus.

For example, the other night, a man was found
running around State Quad, stark naked, and yelling
“Repent!”

Repent? Repent for what? And why does he have to
be naked to convince us to repent?

I’ll tell you why-sexual frustration. And I think we
should all repent for our own personal frustrations.
That’s it-let’s all get naked and run around and
scream and vent and let it all out! We'll shout, “Yes! I
am sexually frustrated, and goddamn proud of it!”

Example number two: some guy is following women
around on the downtown campus and, as they get
home, dropping his pants and masturbating for them.

Three words: get a girlfriend.

Seriously, how hard up must someone be to jerk off
in front of some strange woman just to get his jollies?
I can’t ever imagine a woman walking up to some guy,
and suddenly going at it. We know that masturbation
is a very private thing.

I just don’t understand. Why does he think we want
to see that?

And can you imagine the line up if they ever arrest
anybody?

Officer: Here are the seven witnesses. Are you ready

to do this?

Witness: I think so.

Officer (to the men in the line up): OK, now drop your
pants. (to witness): Now, you see the measure-
ment markings. You said it was about eight
inches?

Witness: No, a little smaller. About six and a half. Let’s
see. Number one, no, too small. Number two,
nope, too hairy. Number three, WHOA! Way
too large. Number four, maybe. Number five,
maybe. Number six, nope, but what an inter-
esting shape. Number seven, no, that growth
was definitely not there.

Officer: Alright, it’s between numbers four and five.
Everyone else can pull up their pants. Now,
you two step forward. It’s time to check tech-
nique...

Now, boys and girls, masturbation is a natural,
healthy way to let out our sexual tensions (I heard
that in a sex—ed video). BUT NOT IN PUBLIC! My Lord!
Didn’t your parents teach you anything?

I mean, everybody masturbates. As a certain male
member of.the newspaper staff said, when it was
suggested that the masturbation story should run on
the front page: “Page one? I masturbate all the time,
and I never get page one!”

If you feel the need to masturbate, God created
showers, bedrooms, and, if all else fails, closets. Please
spare us from the spectacle.

If it gets boring, use your imagination. I’m sure you
can think up many more interesting things while
pleasuring yourselves, than exhibitioning on the
SUNYA campus.

That’s what’s wrong with society today. No common
decency. Plus an overwhelming dose of sexual
frustration.

There are many outlets for the latter problem,
without incovieniencing others. Phone sex, for
example. Have fun. Play safely. But, for God sake, keep
it private!

4a Aspects

Billy Joel belted out old and
new at the Carrier Dome last
Saturday night. Which songs
do you like best? Be careful,
your answer may label you for-
ever.

Kevin Sonsky

This is an issue that Joel fans
have been arguing about ever
since he permanently anchored
himself into the pop charts with
his 1983 Innocent Man album.

That pivotal date divides the
alleged two camps of which one
can be a member: the “his old

shit is the best shit, his new shit
is just shit!” fan versus the “‘We
Didn’t Start the Fire’ is like the
best song!” fan. But you
needn’t be corralled into one of
the two.

Granted, we’ve all come to
the reality that his new material
is just not the same as his old,
but we must also realize that he
is not the same person he was
twenty years ago.

The bitter suburban song-
writer, who once guzzled a bot-
tle of furniture polish in a failed
suicide attempt, is now mar-
ried, wealthier, wiser, and most
importantly, a father. His life

It's still rock and

no longer revolves around sub-
urban monotony, teenage free-
dom, and broken hearts. Now
it’s a reflection on jaded wis-
dom, a loss of faith in justice
and a loss of faith in people.
These are all apparent in his lat-
est album, River of Dreams,
which certainly serves up his
most refreshing material since
1982's The Nylon Curtain.

So even at 44, Joel still writes
of his bitterness. It’s just not the
kind of bitterness that captured
the teenage angst of his earlier
work.

And what about the happy
oes Even his older albums

had happy songs, some of them
quite cheesy.

When you get sick of one of
his new hits, it’s primarily
because the radio stations play
it every hour on the hour for
the six weeks that it sits on the
billboard charts.

I’ll be the first to admit that
his ‘70s work is by far the best.
It is lyrically more poetic and
his piano playing more appar-
ent. But when you slice away
the pop tunes of his later
albums, you’re left with the bet-
ter stuff not heard on the radio.

When you break down that
barrier, you come to realize that

he is not just a pop sensation.
The man is truly brilliant; as
brilliant in his middle-aged
reflections as he was in his ado-
lescent animosity. Those who
don’t understand the growth
will never appreciate it.
Unfortunately, they may never
become the fan they really
want to be.

And by the way, those of you
who live by the edict that older
is better, listen to his really old
(and really bad) stuff with a
band called Attilla, and you
will as quickly change your
mind as that CD.

Another obnoxious commentary:

Billy -— apes Huh huh,

huh.
by N. Wildman

Billy Joel is crap. To describe why Billy Joel sucks,
one must clarify the appeal of this well-loved and pop-
ular entertainer. First, he is unarguably a successful
song writer whose quality has withstood the test of
time. He relies on a very simple image of a working
class shmoe from Long Island, and makes few pre-
tenses to otherwise.

On the other hand, why should anyone pay attention
to Billy Joel? He is consummately formulaic and unex-
citing. Just as he crafts good songs, a carpenter crafts
good wooden desks. Both deserve acknowledgement,
but don't call it rock n' roll.

Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell: all excellent
songwriters who add dimension to their craft, in the
form of persona and musical style. Joel, in compari-
son, is vanilla pudding created for ‘working class’
masses. Billy Joel is boring for those who don’t think
being a simple working schmoe from L.I. is cool.

Of course, an easy (and quite snobby) criticism of
B.J. is that he is top 40 toe-jam, just another faceless
product for those who are not as cool as those who
listen to ‘alternative’? music. While Joel has not been
very influenced by the changing trends in the top 40,
he still is representative of what it means to be widely
popular — appealing to the lowest common denomina-
tor. Even at his ‘weirdest,’ Joel’s music is a populist
craft first, a personal art second. That’s his business.

-Even ‘alternative music’ is now another form of top 40

toe-jam. | think Biily Joel is as sucky as Pearl Spam.

Billy Joel is crap. Undoubtedly, by stating this opin-
ion, those who think that Billy Joel is good will recoil,
and think one of two things:

a) smart Billy Joel fan:“Perhaps the opinionator is an
asshole who’s full of himself, but perhaps he has rea-
sons.”

b) unthinking Billy Joel fan:“This is a direct insult to
Billy Joel fans. Why must he lash out and impose his

Diamond was in town. Now,

care about Neil and wouldn’t be

concert, but those people would
die wondering. Die wondering
what life might of been if they
had witnessed Heaven on
Earth...

Chris Radtke

Before the show, I sat in my
seat and looked around. Sixteen
thousand people, from all walks
of life and a myriad of ages filled
the Knickerbocker Arena that
night. When the house lights
went out and Neil took the stage,
I was instantly sucked into a
maelstrom of passion and excite-

ment that some would compare
to sex or a stab of heroin. He
opened the show’ with
“America,” his tribute to this
great country of ours. I haven’t
seen a performer with such stage
presence and energy since I saw
Weird Al live (don’t laugh. Al
was powerful). He then pulled
out his classic Everly Brothers
guitar, “which only plays
oldies,” and then belted out
“Chérryse Cherry,” “Tims a
Believer,” and “Thank the Lord
for Night Time.”

Neil has a new album out now,
it’s called Up On The Roof. It is a
collection of old songs, recorded
Diamond Style. He played a
selection of these songs next, but
the only one I was familiar with
was “You Lost That Lovin’

Feeling.” Once he got that out of
his system, it suddenly became
Christmas in November. A mas-
sive Christmas tree sprouted
from center stage, and Neil
swanked about singing every-
one’s favorite holiday classics.
He is a Christmas angel in the
guise of a little Jewish kid from
Brooklyn. Methinks this part of
the show was a bit too long, but
fun nonetheless.

The remainder of the show
was dedicated to Neil’s later hits,
like “Heartlight,” “Soolai-mon,”
“Holly Holy,” “Love On The
Rocks,” and “I am...I said.”
Finally, he brought the house
down with the earth shattering,
“Brother Love’s Traveling
Salvation Show.”

I’d like to take this time to
point out to all of you readers
out there that the Dead will
eventually be dead, Smashing
Pumpkins just make a mess in
the road, Stone Temples eventu-
ally crumble, , and as for Pearl
Jam... well ONLY Diamonds are
forever!

off of their Whenever

Flop literally rocked

6a Aspects

‘orld of Comic

Bevin | is getting stranger

The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman, is about the seven
anthropomorphic personifications of the inevitabilities
of human life, collectively called “The Endless.” First
there was Destiny, and after Destiny, Death appeared.
As humans were able to die, they became able to
Dream, and then they were able to destroy, and so
Destruction was conceived. Next came Desire and
Despair, the twins (because one always goes along
with the other), and last came Delight. But, sometime
in the past, Delight became Delirium.

Kelly Barclay

The books mainly concentrate on Dream, whose
realm is that of the Dream world, where all people
enter when they sleep; there reside all the dreams and
nightmares ever experienced. He is a dark, brooding
character, angst-ridden and moody.

Sounds confusing? Sure it is, but it is also excellent
reading. Gaiman is brilliantly creative. The stories are
warped, unique, and simply wonderful.

Unfortunately, the new storyline will also be the last
(although a few self-contained stories will follow). It
is called “The Kindly Ones,” and, according to an
interview with Gaiman in Hero Illustrated, a magazine
about comic books, it will be “a huge, thunderous,
bloody, smoke-filled storyline...full of action and very
strange.”

In Sandman #56, the last issue of the “World’s End”
storyline and the latest one published, a disturbing
foreshadowing was shown. A funeral procession in
the sky passed the observers at the Inn at the World’s
End, where people from various realities were

stranded during a fierce reality storm, precipitated by
an unnamed yet momentous event occurring across all
realities.

But the funeral procession seems to provide clues to
the reality storm’s origin, as well as hints at the major
changes about to take place during the final storyline.

Destiny leads the procession, followed by the
covered coffin and the pallbearers. Afterwards, faces
downcast, walk diferent dreams encountered in
previous storylines, such as Fiddler’s Green, Martin
Tenbones, and Mervyn Pumpkinhead. Alongside
walks Despair, looking rather despondant herself.
Behind the others trudge Delirium and finally Death,
against the backdrop of a bleeding moon.

This, along with various comments by Gaiman
himself in interviews which allude to a major shakeup
in the Endless, seems to suggest the possible demise of
the Dream Lord. Firstly, most of the Endless were at
the funeral. Granted, Desire and Destruction were
missing, but in the “Brief Lives” storyline, Destruction
left this plane for good, and could not be expected to
return for any reason. And Desire couid not be
counted on for anything. Besides, and reason number
two, the dreams present in the procession would not
be there for any other of the Endless’ funerals. Each
character at the funeral has an intimate connection
with Morpheus. Finally, according to Hero, the
self-contained issue after “The Kindly Ones” will be
called “The Wake.” This all points to the possible
death of Dream.

The implications of his death are numerous. A new
incarnation of Dream must take his place, and also
must confront all the issues surrounding him that the
old Dream will leave behind.

According to Freud, motivated

brother, David, in a third floor

apartment somewhere in Chicago. (I

can remember the layout of our
home, the surrounding area, but
somehow the address escapes me.)
My cousins and aunt and uncle lived
on North Troy Avenue, and we were
going there when it happened.

My mother bundled David and I in
our coats and told me she was taking
us to Aunt Dorothy’s so she could go
to work. I had a new Matchbox car in
my hand — a corvette — and ran it
down the banister while my mother
held my right hand and held David
in her right arm.

My mother was” wearing
high-heeled boots (the fashion of the
day) and I guess they can be blamed

by Anthony Penson

for her slipping. Before | realized
what was happening, I found myself
trying to hold her up as she fell down
the first three steps of the staircase.

I couldn’t stop her. I dropped my
toy and held on, watching helplessly
as time slowed to a crawl. She
twisted in the air to take the brunt of
the impact and save David, but I was
doing the same to save her.

When we stopped at the bottom of
the stairs, David cried out and Mom
moaned in pain. She clutched her
right leg and asked me if I was okay.
I didn’t answer. I was scared out of
my mind.

My mother has always been the
strongest member of the family,
which is why my life hasn’t taken the
same path as those who end up in jail
or worse, so the sight of her in pain
shook me up. She told me to get help,
but I was rooted to that spot, getting
close and closer to crying.

One of our neighbors finally
opened her door and saw what
happened. She called an ambulance
and stayed with my mother and
brother while I waited for the
paramedics in the freezing weather,
not realizing I left my coat inside.

When they finally got there, I half
guided, half pulled one of them with
me into the lobby and watched them
get Mom onto a gurney. The
neighbor offered to take care of
David and I while Mom went to the
medical center, but I screamed until

the paramedics let me ride with her.

At the hospital, I saw an
emergency room for the first time
and I thought I could have waited
longer for this new experience. An
orderly was assigned to keep watch
over me, as if I was in the mood to
run around. He introduced himself to
me and asked me a lot of personal
questions I didn’t want to answer. |
lost him when he went to the
bathroom and got lost myself when I
looked for my mother.

I gave up after a while and curled
up on the floor of an ancient-looking
phone booth, praying to whatever
God was out there that Mom would
be okay. Raising my head, I saw the
white and yellow pages suspended
from one of those special book
holders and ran my fingers along the
listings...Rivera...Rodriguez...Smith.

I would have stayed in that phone
booth, looking at unfamiliar names,
had my Uncle Fabio not found me as
he made his way to the Emergency
Room. I was never so happy to see
family. He took me with him and I
asked if he knew how my mother
was doing. He said she only twisted
her ankle and explained she needed
to stay off her feet for awhile.

Up until the moment I saw my
mother again, it was the worst day of:
my life. Now, the more often I look
back on it (the more I talk about it),
the less power those personal
demons have over me.

Price Guides

Continued from page 6a
first came onto the market it was fairly
obvious that they had aligned
themselves with two of the stronger
independent companies. Without going
into too much gory detail many retailers
outright accused Wizard of using its
magazine to artificially hike the prices
of Image and Valiant comics (especially
Valiant) to the point where nobody
knew what anything was worth.
However, one thing was for sure, Image
and Valiant values were listed at
anywhere from two to ten times what
other guides had them for and if you
were a retailer what would you do....

The price guide is in alphabetical
format by title with all publishers listed.
Under each title name is the publisher
name and then issue numbers and their
values. If the values of a comic have
changed they are highlighted by a color
bar (red for rising and blue for falling).
The listing also includes a similar
information blurb to the one found in
CVM and has an abbreviation guide in
each issue. Wizard also has a card guide
whichis not in every issue.

Overall for Wizard:

PROS: Nice color look, good
departments, some of the giveaway
cards are fairly nice, and, with an
average monthly shipping of 250,000
books, Wizard is here to stay for now.

CONS: Many, many advertisements
(you have to see it to believe it), some of
what is written is either poorly written |
or obviously for a younger audience,
and a lack of support from many
retailers on the price guide leads to
questions regarding its usefulness.

Next time a look at Hero Illustrated,
the new kid on the block, and
Overstreet, the granddaddy of price
guides.

ASIP VIEW POUNT

Open-—mindedness. Selflessness. Understanding. Does
anyone possess these qualities anymore? Doesn’t anyone
want to TRY to get along with each other? Too many
people are trying to push their neighbors down to get
their own way.Too many people are just taking and not
giving. There seems to be so little tolerance in the world
today. I see it everyday, no matter where I am, no matter
who I’m with. People are isolating themselves and, in
general, spreading feelings of malevolence

Louisa Petsitis

unnecessarily.

Open—mindedness. Why are there people who feel it
necessary to shove their views down everyone’s throat?
Are they so special that everyone in the world should
abide by their principles? Wouldn’t it be just as easy to
accept the fact that there are different people and
different styles in the world? Think about a situation
when someone did something that you totally disagreed
with. Do you remember what your reaction was? Did
you immediately, almost instinctively, tell the person
just how wrong you thought he was? Or, instead of

trying to make him see things your way (the right way
according to you), did you step out of your shoes and try
to see things his way? If you did this then maybe you
learned that what he did was consistent with who he is,
so it was okay for you to disagree with him but not okay
for you to try to convert him to your way of
thinking. You learned to respect the person and judge
him, not from YOUR perspective, but from his. So when
was the last time you judged anyone on HIS terms?
Well, folks, that is what it means to be open—minded — to
view other people, races, cultures through THEIR eyes.
If more people subscribed to this philosophy then we
wouldn't be so quick to offend and hurt. It’s a good thing
to have your own style and to formulate your own
opinions, but when you show disrespect to another
person’s ways, you are not being open—minded.
Selflessness. When was the last time you did
something for someone simply because you knew it
would make them HAPPY, and not because you
expected something in return? I remember this time
when I was about to get rid of a pair of earrings that a
friend of mine once had admired on me, so I thought I'd
offer them to her. Needless to say, the expression on her

ILIETTEIRS TO Ws

- out there?

face was enough to make me ecstatic that I didn't toss the
darn things out after all. I truly believe that my thinking
of her was moreimportant than the material gift itself. It
seems that people haveforgotten about the joy of
spreading joy. It’s this kind of selflessness that makes
me wonder...exactly how many humanitarians are there
Understanding. Every human being on
this earth has the same body functions, the same
awareness, the same feelings. Every human being is
vulnerable at one point or another and capable of being
humiliated, embarassed, or emotionally hurt. Underneath
the skin, we’re all the same. Understanding goes hand in
hand with open—mindedness. When you understand
another person, it means that you’ve been in that same
predicament. It means that you know what the other
person is going through. You can either show empathy
and concern or you can take advantage. Understanding
means asking yourself certain questions.

I’ve always lived by the philosophy that one should
treat other people the way one would like to be treated
oneself. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all wanted to be
treated with love, kindness, and respect?

Administration
Lacks Vision

To the Editor:

I am writing to you about how
disgusted I am at how this school spends
money on unnecessary items when others
are badly needed. On Alumni Quad,
Sayles Hall, the bushes that were fine but
needed trimming were pulled out and
new ones were put in because the janitor
was too lazy to pick up the garbage that
accumulated there every weekend. Sayles
Hall desperately needs a telephone box
like the ones in Brubacher and Alden.
After all, Brubacher is closed, and makes
it very inconvenient to walk half way
around the quad and back. Don’t Walk
Alone is a very good organization. but also
needs improvement. The volunteers wait
at corners of Partridge to walk them to
Alumni — hardly a block. Most people
don’t even use them because there are
usually enough other people getting off
there and walking the same way. It is a
waste of the volunteer’s time to be there.
I live on Lark Street and have to walk
five blocks from the Wellington bus or
take an Alumni bus and walk through the
park. I feel this is one of the most
dangerous parts of Albany at night.
Don’t Walk Alone should ride the bus
and walk women living off campus home.
SUNY does things so backward
sometimes, I just don’t get it. Where is
the common sense in our administration?
Open your eyes people.

Asian & Proud

To the Editor:

The Second Annual Asian Occasion
held Sunday November 7th in the Recital
Hall at the PAC, was a tremendous
success. The show’s main goal is to bring
the various Asian organizations on the
SUNY Albany campus together in a
cultural celebration of talent and fashion.
Sponsored by the Asian—American
Alliance, this year’s program consisted of
a full fashion show, ranging from casual
to club to formal—wear , inter—mingled
with various talent acts such as musical
performances, cultural dances, and a Tae
Kwon Do demonstration. As stated, the
show was meant to bring the Asian
community together as a whole, and to
allow those people who are not otherwise

familiar with the rich culture and diversity —

of Asian people to learn a little more. The

groups that participated were: the Chinese
Students’ Association, the Korean
Students’ Association, the South Asian
Students’ Association, and the newly
formed Filipino Students’ Association,
which will be working on S.A.
recognition next semester.

This letter is a testament to the hard
work and dedication of a handful of
committed people that made Asian
Occasion happen, and a statement to the
rest of the Asian community that if these
people can commit themselves so fully to
Asian awareness and cultural pride, then
so can you. GET INVOLVED! Events
like Unity Jam and Asian Occasion are
wonderful, and the attendance shows that
people are interested, but where are these
people during the meetings of Asian
American Alliance (AAA) or any of the
other organizations for that matter? Have
you ever felt like your culture is under-
represented in the curriculum? The truth

RZA/Tagar
Embarrass J ews

To the Editor:

Now is a time of extreme idiocy on this
campus and one must speak the voice of
reason if one exists. I take issue with the
current uproar over the RZA’s poster for
the son of Meir Kahane’s visit on campus.
Mind you, I do not support the views of
said individual, but are you so thick as to
not realize the implications of your poster.
You do not represent me in your uproar or
attempt at protest against President
Swygart or other individuals accused by
you. You embarrass me as a Jew and
many other Jews on this campus who feel
you are being a bunch of mindless
immature jerks who don’t know when to
protest about something important. I

“You embarrass me as a Jew and many other Jews
on this campus who feel you are being a bunch of
mindless immature jerks who don’t know when to
protest about something important.”

— Victor Tulchinsky

of the matter is that Asian Studies as a
whole is a very limited major in SUNY
Albany, and slowly it is getting even
more limited, as professors in the
department move on and are not being
replaced. If the Asians on this campus are
active, as Asian Occasion triumphantly
displays, then why isn’t the department
being improved? And why isn’t there
more involvement in organizations such
as AAA, which is working to add courses
on South Asian Studies which were
dropped years ago, and initiating new
classes about growing up Asian American
in the U.S.? Because people are not
involved enough, and quite frankly, that’s
got to stop. Take pride in who you are and
what you are, and fight for classes that
represent you. The only way that we will
be respected is if we make a stand and we
bring the ignorance to an end. To anyone
interested, I strongly recommend
attending a meeting of the Asian
American Alliance, which meets every
other Tuesday at 8:00 pm in the Fireside
Lounge of the Campus Center. This is
only the beginning... if you help us....

Parag Khandhar

believe that there is concern for the
present disparity in funding of various
student groups, but not enough information
has been presented to the student body
concerning the mechanisms or appropriation
of funding. If you are so noble as Jews, as
you say you are, why do you preach hate
as you do? Have we not seen enough
bloodshed during the pogroms of old
Europe culminating in the Holocaust of
Nazi Germany, the Inquisition of Spain,
etc... Have you read or heard Elie Weisel?
You are worse than the enemy, whomever
that is, because as Jews, you should know
your history and yet, you don’t show any
compassion.

Maybe I have seen more than you,
maybe I haven’t. I heard Elie Weisel
speak in person at Louisiana State
University Baton Rouge, last February
while I was a graduate student in physics.
I came to appreciate his understanding of
anti-semitism, hate, and other related
issues. He was chosen as the keynote
speaker at the opening of the US
Holocaust Museum in Washington which
I have seen. I was confronted in Louisiana
with many experiences of prejudice and
intolerance that you could not possibly
imagine unless you lived there for a year
and not just visited New Orleans for
Mardi Gras. These Louisianans say they
are the new south but yet one sees, after
wool has been attempted to be pulled over

ones eyes, the reality. There are two
University systems, one black(sic),
Southern University, one white, LSU. The
original plan, when LSU was moved from
downtown Baton Rouge to its present
location in the south west corner of the
city, was for Southern University to have
been built right next to LSU. A civic park
with man made lakes has been built
instead of the new Southern University.
This deliberate change in location was
made because southern whites didn’t want
to have said nigger(sic) institution
constructed next to LSU. When you go to
the cash register at a supermarket, one
receives 3 nickels and a dime instead of a
quarter because it is assumed you are
white trash, and you as a “white” person
treat African Americans with disdain. For
the festivities during Rosh Hashanah, the
lunch parties, and what not, the hired help
were all black; the maids are black, the
gardeners are all black. Do you see a
pattern or are you blind? This is not 1940,
but present day Louisiana. New Orleans is
the most liberal city in the state, and when
it was desegregated in the early sixties, all
the white trash moved to the suburbs of
Kenner, Metarie, Slidel, and up to Baton
Rouge. David Duke was elected from
Metarie, when he was a State Senator.
The two white freedom riders who were
with the one African American student
who were killed in the summer of 1964 in
Alabama were Jews. You don’t even
know your own people’s role in the
history of the civil rights movement. Your
grandparents paid for Thurgood
Marshall’s representation in the case
Brown vs. Board of Education. Your great
grandparents helped financially support
and helped establish the NAACP. Wake
up and smell the coffee, you ignorant
k’fetches. Some things are worth
complaining about and others are mild in
comparison. The first center for black
Jewish relations in the nation was
established at Dillard University, an
African American private University in
New Orleans, in the deep south, and not
in our supposed more enlightened
northern Universities. Ironic, huh? Why?
Because Dr. Dubois Cooke had enough
intelligence and insight to see there are
problems between our communities and
one must start to address the problems by
talking to people and not screaming at
them in hostile rages. Wake up and take
issue for things that are real and not for
this baloney. It doesn’t do anyone any
good except make you look like a bunch
of sophomoric rich brats from down state
who need to make an issue in order to get
publicity.

A Subtle Hint for Men

A Clue For Women

After a night out at the Lamp
Post or WT’s, I realize why it
took my friends hours to con-
vince me and then hours more to
convince myself that perhaps

By Aviva S. Warter
Features Editor

tonight would be different than
all the others.

So I put on my Levis, yah-yah,
the ones that every other girl at
SUNY wears, you know, narrow
by the ankles as the jeans bleed
onto my black leather cowboy
boots. A thick leather belt to
match my tight black shirt and
boots, and perhaps if I really
want to make an original state-
ment, I'll tie a flannel around my
waist.

So guys, go on and feed away.
Yeh, right now as you read this;
don’t be shy, because if I or any
other girl was standing right in
front of you in a bar, you would
have plenty to say. And you
would do so with your unappre-
ciated and oh-so-subtle gawks at
any female breasts, with your
body as you purposely close in
on any woman when she tries to
pass, or with your drunken
friends as you think of some-
thing loud and obnoxious to
blurt out that will meet with your
friends' approval.

And then, after she’s passed
and turned her head to give you
a dirty look, don’t act stupidly
while you throw your hands in

-the air and look at your drunken
friends for answers.

I mean, if you are going to ask
me, for example, if I know
how to play pinball and
then upon my answer of,#
“Not very well”, you vol
unteer to teach me with
balls of your very
own, then you
deserve a_ dirty?
look, if not castra-§
tion.

Like everyon
else, when women go},
out to a bar, they arell |
just looking to have
a nice time, some
good conversatio

_and perhaps a tal
glass of cider.

Men !?!, I ask you,
why is it that if
woman _ spend
more than twent
minutes talking t

j
a

you, do you think that you are
walking her home to your house
and that the rest will be history. |
mean, what is going on in your
heads? Do you say to your-
selves, oh just five minutes more,
if I could only seem sincere and}
sweet for five minutes more,
she’ll think I really am cool an
my friends will be proud come
sunrise tomorrow morning.

Please, we may look like bim-
bos, but honey we see right
through your glassed-over eyes
and under your closing eyelids.
Don’t you realize that if you
smell halfway decent, have man-
ners and don’t put on a show for
those friends who nudge you
under the arm, we may look for
you the next night out to contin-
ue the conversation, and we
might be happy to see you the
next day after you’ve metamor-
phosed back into your unobliter-
ated self.

Speaking honestly, you know
us women, we go to the Lamp
Post and perform those infamous
bar laps to find our friends, pass-
ing boys and men in the crowd-
ed, smoke-filled room, people
stepping on our toes, knocking
us over and what do you know, aj
pinch on our ass. And maybe we
can’t expect any more from inno-
cent freshmen boys gone awry.
So instead we go to WT’s where
one would think there would be
an older crowd. But to our dis-
may, we find that we were
wrong again.

Now, to all you guys with
decent GPAs and sweet person-
alities, when you are on your
own, perhaps your
“social” lives woul
ick. up if you di
things o
jtwo-fer nights. Or a
least, mind your mouths,
j eyes and cupped hands.
And to the rest of our
school, mind yourown busi-
ness! Jeez, can’t any-
one have a publia
@ conversation with-
\ out being bombard-
~\ed with questions off
how good he was, the
day after?

Take a shower, get dressed, do a
couple of shots, and then you are
ready to roll. It’s just another night
out at SUNYA.You all know the
routine. Every time I go through the
pathetic ritual I just wonder why? I
begin with, the feeling that I don’t
ever want to go out, but of course
every time I want to stay
home I hear the same|
thing, “It’s gonna be great |
out tonight.” I know it}
won‘t be, but something |
inside me makes me go. I}
guess I just keep an eter-}
nal hope that for one time |
in four years at this]
school, it really will be
good out.

I don’t want you to get |g
the wrong impression. I |g
know exactly why I go
ont “aed, tor that
matter,why every guy
goes out: to find a girl.
But when walking into |i
the Post, sometimes even “
I have to second guess my original
intentions. In case you have not fre-
quented this bar, let me give you a
low-down of what you can expect.

as every other girl that walks by
you is dressed in the same outfit.

So as the ladies go by, you stare
for a while and then it’s time to
make your move. You stroll up to
one of them and begin talking, but
that is your first mistake: As you
are talking, her eyes are flying

around the bar. She is checking out
every other girls outfits and facial
expressions to see if you are indeed
worthy of speaking to. Of course, the

guy doesn’t really care because in
his mind he is thinking,”She wants
me.” In reality, she is counting how

By David Deutsch

many dirty looks she has received
from every other girl in the bar.

At any rate, the conversation is
flowing nicely so you try to find a
table to sit down at. Eventually,
you find one and think to yourself,
“This time I have her.” As you are
talking at the table, the Post trans-
forms into a runway at a Paris fash-
ion show. Girls are twirling their
stuff in front of you, tossing dirty
looks at the one you are talking to,
or running frantically to a woman’s
safe haven, the bathroom.

At this point in the night , you
have had it. You are ready to leave,
but not alone. You get ready to
pop the question but as the words
are just about to leave your lips,
nature calls, and she is off to the
bathroom never to be seen again.

I have decided that the only rea-
son women go out is to show off
their clothes to other women. They
get a sick thrill out of looking better
than another girl and then letting her
know so via a dirty look. It amazes
me how well women can talk dirty
looks. I think I read somewhere that
the record is 50 feet. I wonder
if it hurts.

I would hope that
women could learn to have
confidence in themselves

You walk in with 10 of your
friends, you immediately go to the
bar, because how could the night
possibly start without a real buzz
going?

You buy a pitcher, get a few cups,
try to find a table and then the night
begins. Don’t forget , the main goal
of the night is to hook up. You want
to do this as quickly as possible and,
of course, in front of all your friends
so they can talk about you for the
rest of the week. All these plans
sound great, until the girls come into
the picture.

Let’s take a moment to examine
your typical girl at the Post. Of
course she as well comes strutting in
with 12 of her closest “sisters,” all
holding hands, fresh from their high
of getting past the bouncer with
their fake I.D.s. You the viewer sees
this pack of women walk in and,
without thinking, you notice what
the leader of the pack is wearing.
Without fail, it is jeans, a tight
bodysuit and, for the spunky ones,
Doc Martens. If it is not the body-
suit option, than it’s the “into the
city” look: big -collar white
shirts with ruffles on the
sleeve, jeans amd, you
guessed it, Doc Martens.
Either way, the result is

~t, the same. You see he

and not care what other
women think, because
they are not the ones that
matter. You look fine, all
of you, so instead of wor-
rying what everyone else
thinks, concentrate on the
men.

Lefties In a Right-Handed World

~ lam part of one of the biggest
minorities in the world. Not just in
the United States, but in the whole
world. No one can understand my

By Allison Krampf
Managing Editor

oppression unless you are like me.
It is not a recognized disability nor
something that will keep me from
getting a job. It is just a problem I
have with society in general. This is
because I am a lefty living in a
right-handed world.

Lefties used to be considered
possessed by the devil. I can under-
stand why. If righties had to put up
with the shit we do, they would act
possessed also. All you righties will
not really care, because you never
have, about what us lefties go
through every day. Many of you
righties even find it down right
amusing to hear a lefty complain
about the right dominant society.
But, I stopped laughing a long time
ago.

The laughter stopped after the
hundredth time I heard my mother
say “It’s because your a lefty.” It
did not seem to matter what “it”
was. Bowling, learning to cut with
a knife and a fork, even trouble I
had when I first started taking dri-
ver’s ed. Could all the problems in
my life be attributed to the fact that
I am blessed with left -handed-
ness? | think not. One problem I
did have growing up, which I still

have problems with today, is cut-
ting with scissors. When I was
learning to cut, there was no such
thing as left-handed scissors. That
is typical discrimination. In nursery
school, my fingers would hurt at
the end of the day because I would
attempt to cut with those horrid,
right-handed scissors. One of the
best days of my life was the day I
received my first pair of lefty scis-
sors.

But it gets better. Think about
notebooks. I love getting to the end
of the page when I am taking notes.
This allows me to turn the page
and write without that annoying
wire bound in the way. I refuse to
spend $8 on a lefty notebook. It is
completely ridiculous. Not only
that, but this and other left-handed
products must be specially ordered,
so add on to the monstrous cost of
these items the shipping and han-
dling. I have found salvation in
legal pads. Legal pads are a fair
invention. There are no wire
bounds, no loose leaf rings, just
paper.

In fact, I can now only do serious
writing on legal pads. I do not
think I would have grown so
attached to them or even have been
introduced to them, had I not been
a_ left-handed journalist. I think it
is one of the best inventions in the
history of the world. It is great that
I can write in peace, at least when I
am not sitting in class.

How can I concentrate on the

professor’s lecture when I am sit-
ting at a tiny right-handed desk,
with my textbook on the desk and
my notebook on my lap? I could
sit at one of the bigger desks, but
those are invariably in the first row.
And everyone knows, both lefties
and righties, only the real students
sit in the first row.

These are only in-school prob-
lems. How about going to a restau-
rant and being a pain in everyone’s
butt because you have to sit on the
outside? What my right-handed
friends do not realize is that I am
doing this more for their benefit,
because would you want to eat
knocking elbows with the person
sitting next to you? I certainly
would not.

How come it is only acceptable
to offer your right hand in a hand-
shake? I used to be so embarrassed
offering my left. It is a subcon-
scious action. It is as automatic as
breathing. Now that I am in a more
business-like atmosphere, I have
trained myself not to do this. But
why? Kings of England used to
have incredible stutters because
they were forced to switch from
lefty to righty. I pray I do not devel-
op a similar problem.

So, as I sit here with the comput-
er mouse on my right and the disk
drive on my left [like I use the disk
drive as much as the mouse], I am
reminded of the times when I was
first learning to use my friend, the
Macintosh. I used to attempt to put

the mouse on the opposite side, but
it was to no avail. The wire got in
my way. It was too annoying. So
now, I am so brainwashed into
using the mouse with my right
hand I hardly give it a second
thought. In fact, 1am ambidextrous
in everything I do [except writing]
because I needed to be in order to
survive. It was a choice between
this and going crazy.

After all, the right-brain domi-
nance that left-handers possess is
where creativity and artisticness
comes from. These are not bad
traits to have on your dominant
side.

I have horrible handwriting
because handwriting was not
meant for lefties. I did not learn
how to write from a lefty. Very few
of my basic skills necessary for sur-
vival did I learn from lefties.
I think that all righties have a con-
spiracy against us lefties to keep us
in the minority.

“Oh, it’s just something they'll
get over,” I can hear you all say at
your secret meetings. Well, let me
tell you something. Left-handed-
ness is not something I want to
“get over.” I am proud to be left-
handed, proud of others who are
left-handed, and I will never stop
fighting for our rights. So, why
don’t you right handers try to be a
little more understanding of what
we are going through? It will make
the world a better place.

Danes race for National title

By AARON GREENBERG
Staff Writer

All year long, members of the Men’s Cross
Country team have kept one goal in mind-to
win the National Championship. In winning the
New York Regionals by one point against the
Rochester Institute of Technology, 62 to 63, the
Danes head to the Nationals undefeated.

Saturday, November 13, at the Genesee
Valley Golf Course in Rochester, eighteen
teams competed in the Division III Regional
Qualifying Meet, to decide which five teams
would advance to the Nationals. Despite the flat
course, strong winds slowed down the times,
preventing any one team from dominating.

Right from the start, Albany had a number of
the runners in the lead pack, and after about a
mile and a half, four of Albany’s senior run-
ners, Todd Orvis, Scott Carroll, William Vanos
and Todd Rogers, broke ahead of the competi-
tion. They finished behind Kevin Collins of
R.LT. and Jeff Lyndaker of St. Lawrence, who
finished first and second.

Once again, it was senior Orvis who led the
way for Albany, finishing third with a time of
25:49.

Towards the end Vanos, Carroll, and Rogers
fell back a few places. They finished ninth,
tenth and eleventh, respectively, finishing with
times of 26:15, 26:17 and 26:19.

Junior Jason DeJoy ran well for most of the
race, but fell about fourteen places in the last
two miles to finish at 27:01, a respectable 29th
place and the best fifth-man score. Senior Keith
Riley and freshman James Sommer were
Albany’s sixth and seventh finishers, at 27:09
and 28:01, respectively.

There was a near upset by R.I.T., who fin-
ished a very close second with 63 points. R.LT.
had been the second best Division III team at

the Albany Invitational.

“We weren’t concentrating on that team,”
said DeJoy. Orvis pointed out that Rochester
was the team everyone was watching for.

Rochester finished third with 100 points,
Cortland (150) and Binghamton (165) also
qualified for the Nationals. Binghamton was the
biggest surprise.

“No one ever expected Binghamton to be
there,” said coach Roberto Vives, who was
named Men’s Coach of the Year for the Region.
The decision to rest the Danes, at the State
Championship, to be ready for the Regionals
and Nationals is considered “one of the best
choices” Vives made all year.

Commenting on the Regionals, Vives praised
Todd Orvis for a strong race “all the way
through.”

Todd Rogers summed up the team’s attitude
about the last several weeks. “We’ve accom-
plished everything we wanted to at this point.”

“Everything is lined up perfectly for us to
win,” according to Keith Reilly.

On November 20, the Nationals at Grinnell,
Iowa will decide who the new champion will
be. Todd Orvis believes that it will be a two
team showdown, “just us and North Central.”

North Central College, of Illinois, is the tra-
ditional powerhouse, with eight National
Championships and eleven other top three per-
formances in twenty years.

Not one to lose hope, Vives believes that
“our best race is ahead of us.”

Todd Orvis plans to lead the team to “do
what no other team here has done.”

There is no doubt what Albany wants out of
the race—the title of National Champions. James
Sommer has said of the possibility, “our goal
all year. I’m glad to get a chance to be a part of
it.”

Associate News Editor

A Marist goal with just over
four minutes left in the game
erased a 4-3 Albany lead and
caused the game to end in a
4—4 tie at the Mid—Hudson
Civic Center Saturday night.

Albany Hockey club coach
Joe Roman said the game was
the most physical game
Albany has played this year.
Eliminating the fights and
penalties that have been
prevalent in Albany Hockey in
years past lead to the early
success of the team this year,
Roman added.

Marist opened the scoring
three and a half minutes into
the game. Albany tied the
game at one when Dave
Tuchman, who was assisted by
Ryan McDonald, glided by
three Marist defenders to
deposit a backhand shot in the
net.

Marist then scored half—way
through the second period that
accounted for all the scoring
in the period. /

Ian Wisotski scored an
unassisted goal for Albany
early the third period. A
minute later Marist scored to
retain it’s one goal edge.

A goal by Albany’s Chuck
Webber, with an assist by Tim
Fox, evened the score at 3-3
with 12 minutes left.

Wisotsky received a feed in
front of the net from Tuchman
for his second goal of the
night that put Albany up 4—3.

Marist then scored to end the
game at a 44 tie.

Albany’s record goes to
2-0-1 and Marist’s to 3-0-1.
Marist coach Kevin Walsh
said Albany had improved
greatly since the two teams
previous meeting last season
and the he was “very

Great Danes drop out of play-
off race with loss to Pioneers

By HAL Moss
Staff Writer

The Albany Great Danes (6-4)
were no match for the William
Patterson Pioneers
Saturday, November 13 at Albany.
Their playoff chances were
destroyed this weekend.

“We came up against a very tough
Pioneer team,” Ford said.

Albany’s first possession ended up
being very critical. Strong running
by sophomore Otis Bellamy up the
middle for an 18-yard gain put
Albany at the Pioneers’ 48. On the
next play, senior quarterback Jaan
Laap gained eight yards on the keep-
er, but was injured after being hit by
Sean McClain. Laap walked off the
field on crutches with a twisted knee.

“It was an emotional loss when
Jaan left the game,” coach Bob Ford
said.

Backup sophomore QB Mark
Richards entered the game, but
could not continue the drive any fur-
ther. Albany was forced to punt.
Junior Andy Shein punted the ball
and got a good roll, placing the
Pioneers at the nine yard line.

Pioneer sophomore Andre Evans
carried for a 12-yard gain to the 21.
On the next play, the Pioneer’s Al
White, senior, broke through for a
79-yard TD run, with 11:42 left in
the first quarter. This enabled him to
break the 1000-yard rushing mark
for the season. The extra point
missed. Albany trailed 6-0.

The turning point of the game
came when Shein’s punt was
blocked by Sean McClain, putting
the ball at Albany’s 11-yard line.

On the next play, sophomore
Andre Taylor ran it in for an 11-yard

(7-3) on-

TD on the left side and scored the
2—-point conversion, giving William
Patterson a 14-0 lead with 6:29 left
in the first quarter.

Albany could not muster any
offense of their own. A short punt by
Shein of 17 yards gave the Pioneers
possession at the Danes’ 40. Andre
Evans, sophomore, gained 12 more
yards on the left side. On third and
13 from the 21, Rich Smith hit
Stafford Washington in the corner of
the right endzone, giving the
Pioneers a 21-0 lead with 6:01 left
in the second quarter.

Trailing 28-0 in the fourth quar-
ter, Albany mounted a drive that
finally put them on the scoreboard.
Richards connected on a 14-yard
pass play with Coston to the 48—yard
line. On third and 15 from the 33,
Coston gainéd a first down on the
pitch to the left on a 15-yard run.
After a face mask penalty was called
on the Pioneers, Albany had first and
goal from the nine. On third and
goal from the five, Coston scored on
a pitch to the right with 12:20 left in
the game.

The Danes could not muster much
offense against the Pioneers. The
first quarter injury to Laap was the
critical play that spelled doom for
Albany. Albany was limited to six
for 22 on third down. The Pioneers
sacked Mark Richards eight times.

Bellamy starred for Albany, gain-
ing 120 yards on only 18 carries,
including a 45-yard scamper. Coston
gained 48 yards on 13 carries,
including a TD. Senior Brad Gerber,
the team’s leading rusher, gained 45
yards on 10 attempts.

The Pioneers were led by Al
White, gaining 167 yards on 18
rushes, including a 79-yard TD run.

Covering University at Albany sports since 1916

By Eric DAGNALL
Sports Editor

On the aftermath of last year’s
Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference
snub, the University at Albany Men’s
basketball team has a lot to prove.

After winning seven of the last 10
games for a 15-10 record, coach Doc
Sauers expected a phone call confirming
Albany’s bid to play in the ECAC’s.
The call never came leaving the team

o| both disappointed and angry. This year

the Great Danes will try to make sure
that they are not shut-out from playoff
competition.

“We were playing as well as anyone
in the State,” Sauers said. “I was disap-
pointed for the team more than anything

1 else.”

Albany returns five seniors from last
year’s team, four of whom are starters.

“We’re basically the same team as
last year but we have a lot more maturi-
ty,” Sauers said.

Senior captain Jason Graber has
proven that he is a force to be reckoned
with on the court. He led the team in
numerous categories including scoring
(21.5 points per game), rebounding
(181), and blocks (28). Also, Graber
was named to the ECAC/Holiday Inn
Men’s Division II Upstate Basketball
All-Stars second team.

“He can score both inside and out-
side,” Sauers said. “But because teams

will focus on him, he will do his scoring
on hustle alone.”

However according to Sauers,
Albany’s success will depend largely on
