Women Place Second In Tourney

Tt was an exciting weekend for
the adrenalized Albany State
women's basketball team, Pare
Weipating in the Capital District
Tournament along with Union, RPL
and St, Rose, the Danes faced even:
ly matched competition and looked
forward to exciting play

Their hopes were realized both
nights, Friday night they advanced
to the finals by beating a strong
Union team, 64-61. Then Saturday
night, they found themselves in the.
thick of things, until the final
Seconds, losing {0 experienced and.
ated St, Rose, 73:68,

Lynne Burton, finding her range
fier some slow games, averaged 25
points for the tournament and was
named 10 the All-Tournament
team. Captain Laurie Briggs also
made the All-Tourney team, based
upon her excellent performance at
both ends of the court, ,

Burton Went into the tournament
averaging 16.7 points and 12 re-
bounds per game, She scored $1
points in two games and had 16
caroms in each. Her first nine
points during the first game gave
her 300 points for the season,
finishing the tournament and
season with 342 — the first Albany
woman to break 300 points in four

years,
Briggs did a gutsy job running the
Offensive. Playing point guard only
sparingly this season, Brigas show:
cd her leadership capabilities and
her offensive talent, Going into the
tournament, she was averaging 3.8
points per game, while playing at
various positions, She had 12 points
on Friday and 14 points on Satur-
day
“Laurie and Lynne both had
Phenomenal tournaments, Lynne
as just unstoppable at both ends
while Laurie held the team together
Carol Wallace also did an outstan-
ding job both nights, She played ax-
gressive and tough, doing a great
job for us," Albany women's
basketball coach Amy Kidder said.
Wallace, averaging 6.5 points per
kame going into the tournament,
scored 16 points against Union and
13 against St, Rose, “If there had
been another All-Tournament t
spot, Carol deserved it," Kidder
pointed out, Having three players
in double figures and Nancy
(Halloran) scoring nine points
showed the team we do not need to
depend upon one person to score,"
‘The final game against St. Rose
brought out the fans; everyone ex-
Pecting a tough, exciting game, The
difference was never more than five

points either Way, as the teams trad:
gd baskets throughout the entire
kame.

The Danes pulled al with
four minutes remaining, leading by,

distinct height advantage, did the
only thing they could — they went
to their tallest player — Terry
Duball, She hit a key basket to put

CSR's height, They designed a
special press to keep a player back
at all times with Duball and 10 take
advantage of Wallace's excellent in-

All this worked the first half.
Along with a rotating defense,
Albany controlled the game, until

SUNY’s Tuition History: Hikes Never Prevented

Carey's record of support for
higher education is in stark contrast
to that of Governor Nelson A:
Rockefeller.

Rockefeller was elected governor
in 1958. In 1963, SUNY tuition was
$400 per year. That figure remained
unchanged until 1971

The '60's was a period of {remen-
dous growth for SUNY. Increases
in sales taxes and banking taxes in
New York State generated cnor-
mous revenue, enabling Rockefeller
to almost single-handedly create the
entire 64-campus sysiem.

During Rockefeller’s 15 years as
governor, the state budget increased
from $2 billion to more than $&
billion, Much of that money went
to higher education,

The number of college students
enrolled in New York State increas-
ed during that period from 38,000
to 246,000.

Six-Year Term Proposed

WASHINGTON, D.C, (AP) A constitutional amend-
ment that would limit presidents to a single, siv-year

adopted, will launch a new cra, in which the president

the amendment had been introduced in Congress before
but no one had ever aggressively pushed for passage. If
approved by a two-thirds majority of both the Senate

TAPP Helps Unwed Teenage Mothers to Cope

fenny Rnows itis only a matter 0
time before she has to leave, Things
Were not good with her parents
before she became pregnant, so her
condition has only served to inten-
sify an already bad situation.

Jenny Morgan is a fictitious
name, but with some details ad-
justed, hers {s the story of 95 per-
cent of the unwed teenage mothers
in Rensselaer County, which has the
highest teenage pregnancy rate in
the Capital District are

The Teenage Parenting Program
(TAPP) of Rensselaer County is a
rogram designed to help teenage
mothers cope with pregnancy — its
burdens and responsibilities, as well
as learning parental skills

According to Program Coor-
dinator Alannah Fitzgerald, peer
pressure has served to push
teenagers into becoming sexually
active al an early age, the average
age being 16, Another reason for
early sexual activity, she added, Is
the desire (0 get away from a bad
home situation.

“A teenager will become pre
nant so that she can get on some
type of social service and,
therefore, have money to leave her
parents) home, This is a drawback
because if parents are not cligible
for social services like welfare, the
teenager will not be eligible either,’
Fitzgerald said.

Instead of opting for adoption or
abortion, Fitzgerland explained,
teenage mothers are keeping their
babies, hence the need for a pro-
gram like TAPP.

“There isn't a stigma attached to
being illegitimate any more. In fact,
Ifa gitl has an abortion or gives up
her baby for adoption, she is
ostracized by her peers,!" she said,

According 10 Fitzgerald, there
are problems getting pregnant
teenagers into the program, because
many are afraid to ask for help:

“I meet with the girl at home, at
school, or any place where she is
comfortable, receptive and doesn't
fecl threatened,"’ she added,

According to Fitzgerald, securing
permission from parents has not
been a problem, ‘I have been lucky
so far — I haven't encountered any
hostile parents as yet," she said,

Any git] is eligible for the pro-
gram as longas she isa teenager and
pregnant, ‘We like (0 have the gir!
figure out while she is pregnant
what she needs in the way of help,"
Fitzgerald said.

This Help entails cutting through
fed tape and trying to put the preg-
nant teenager on social services
such as Welfare, Food Stamps,
Family Planning, Medicaid, and
Women’s, Infant's, and Children's.
Program (WIG), a federally funded
food program which is easier to
qualify for than food stamps.

But because one is on the pro-
gram does not necessarily follow
that one is automatically going to
receive these services, Fitzgerald
said,

“If she is not eligible, there is not
a whole lot we can do for her. We
try (0 get help through another
source — we ask for donations
from anybody, including the Salva-
tion Army," she added,

Ofall the services, Medicaidis the
one for which teenagers tend to be
incligible, At delivery time a
hospital cannot turn the girl away;
consequently, she has a high bill
Which often becomes the burden of
the parents, Fitzgerald said.

Every Thursday at 2 p.m., Fit-

Fitzgerald likes to keep the girls
at least six months after delivery,
but prefers them to stay longer.
“Some girls have stayed with TAPP

TAPP is made up of approx:

Colleges To Cut Back Enrollment In The 80's

(CPS) In defiance of worries that
drastic enrollment drops in the
1980s would tempt colleges into try-
ing {o lure any old warm, tuition-
paying bodies to their campuses, a
large number of schools are actually
starting to limit their enrollments in
the face of what one university
business manager calls ‘the budget
Squeeze of the eighties."”

Unexpectedly large enrollment
increases — national enrollment is
Up 3.2 percent over fall, 1979, ac-
cording to the National Center for
Education Statistics — have gravely
strained campus services across the
country, exacerbating housing shor-
tages, classroom overcrowding, and
understaffing problems,

But the money pools where col-
leges would ordinarily go {0 help
pay for expanding campus services
have largely dried up,

Doug Norman, information
director at the University of Ten-
nessee, says the money simply isn't
available to alleviate these pro:
blems, especially at state univer-
sities which rely most heavily on
state funding

“The cost of everything —
library materials, utilities, faculty
— is going up, but state funding is
‘not,”’ Norman explains, "The only

way We can cover our costs is to
have less students, which
theoretically means less costs. for
the university."

Indeed, Tennessee's Board of
Trustees has decided that Ten-
nessee's Knoxville campus should
cut enrollment by 1,000 students
the fall of 1981.

Norman adds the trustees made
the decision only after the state
assured them that the university's
Appropriations would not diminish
along with enrollment. As at most
State schools, Tennessee's ap-
Propriations were based on enroll-
ment until last fall,

State funding also became a par-
ticularly bad problem last year for
Cleveland State University (CSU),
says Admissions Director Richard
Dickerman, when his office mis-
judged fall enrollment, The stare
based its appropriations on CSU's
enrollment predictions, as it has
done every year, but when a record
19,250 — over a thousand more
than CSU had predicted — showed
up, Dickerman says, “we knew we
goofed,’”

SU ended up with a three per-
cent cut In appropriations, when it
actually should haye had an in:
crease based on the number of

students. z

Dickerman vows that he'll never
Tet enrollment reach that number
again, He says it is impossible to
receive additional state monies in
the middle of the year, so all the
university can do is ‘accommodate
all the students that are here,’’ in
spite of @ faculty that Dickerman
describes as ‘rather shorthanded in
areas,"

Cleveland's situation is hardly

Denied additional funds by the
state legislature, SDSU President
Thomas Dey now aims to cut
500-700 students from the rolls to
bring the school's total down to
24,500 by next fall,

The University of Arkansas has
decided the best way to limit enroll.

group last month to pay special al

in the top 40 or S0 percent of their
high school classes.

Task Force To Study Gay Issues

by Julienne Bostic

To help dedl with the special
needs and problems of lesbian and
gay students on campus and
statewide, SA has formed a Lesbian
jay Task Force,

SA Vice President Brian Levy
said that problems of gays at
SUNYA were to be originally
handled by the Minority Task
Force.

‘According to Gay and Lesbian
Alliance President Mike MePartlin,
Affirmative Action, whose main
concern ‘has been problems of
racism and sexism, is not required
to handle issues concerning gays.
Questions about student attitudes
towards gays on campus have not
been answered by the Affirmative
Action Office al SUNYA in the
past, hie added

MePartlin, has been appointed
head of the new task force.
© Action Officer
Gloria DeSole said that her office
‘was “in favor of all efforts on cam=
pus toward equanimity."” She add-
cd that she has been accessible to
respond to the problems of gay
sMudénts on campus,

Last spring, SUNYA President
Vincent O'Leary added a clause to
the university’s anti-discrimination
policy stating that the university
would not discriminate on the basis
of sexual or affectional preference
McPartlin said that there has been
little publicity about the new policy
and that an informal task force
survey indicated that only $0 per-

cent of students were aware of
O'Leary's statement.

“There is a lack of evidence tha
the university is committed (0 this,
he said, The survey also. showed
that 50 percent of students would be
opposed to having a homosexual
roommate,

MePartlin noted that training ses-
sions on this problem are not re-
quired for residence assistants
(RA’s). “RA's should have to take
these classes, It's an issue they'll
have (0 be aware of," he said,

According to Associate Director
of Residence/Programming David
Jenkins, RA's are required to take a
first semester course which focuses
primarily on basic communication
and counselling skills.

Jenkins said that ‘homosexuality,

is not necessarily covered," bul {fa
student Is having a problem related
to homosexuality, the kind of skills
an RA learns apply (0 this situation.
as well

O'Leary provided means for gays
to file grievances of sex discrimini
tlon with the university, The inten-
tion of this was to. place these
grievance procedures in the hands
of academic ad dormitory councils.
Documentation of the facts,
however, are necessary before any
complaints of discrimination based
on sex can be broughl to the coun:

engineering colleges,
funding and paying faculty is the
biggest problem,

Martin complained that Arkan-
sas’ enrollment rose three percent
ast year, while funding remained
the same, He hopes to sec at least a
three percent enroliment decline by
next fall,

Until selfsiinposed cuts can be
made, crowded classrooms —

departments — pose the biggest
problem for administrators, says
Peter Flawn, president of the
University of Texas-Austi

Flawn told~a General Faculty
meeting last fall that “very large

“another look! at a plan to limit
admissions of fresimen and

Based on the problems of high

CSU's Dickerman agrees that

commodity because universities
can't pay them enough, He points
‘ut that someone with a bachelor of
engineering degree can casily earn
more in his first. job than an
engineering Ph.D; can earn
teaching, The result, say both
Gloyna and Dickerman, is large

Even when a school can find ad-

it will often opt to cope with crowd=

Food Poisoning Might Not Be Culprit

‘occurs from time to time on cam:

many cases at one time, people
often wrongly conclude that it has

Fr was recognized years ago that

more likely a viral agent, In the last
10 years, it was established through
new techniques that no long re-

Military Economy

Bob Cohen

‘The Reagan administration has arrived,
‘And with it — a new pattern, a new way of
doing things. You might even say a new
value system has emerged in America with
the advent of the Reagan administration,

‘The Reagan world is a world in which
money for the B-1 bomber is more impor-
tant than money for school lunch pro-
‘grams, Where money for subway systems {0
transport missiles (the MX) is more impor-
tant than taking New York City residents
from Brooklyn to Manhattan {0 go to
work, Where give aways to welfare mothers
are a sin, and give aways to oll companies
(in the form of decontrol of energy prices)
is an economic virtue,

It doesn't take a seer to realize that the
Reagan economic proposals spell disaster
for students, low income people,
minorities, and women, The President, in

his nationally televised address to the nation
on Thursday, February 19th, made it
pe*fectly clear that America’s program of
massive rearmament will be financed by
reductions in social programs desperately
needed in a period of high inflation and
unemployment, In a rare moment of blunt-
ness, the President sald on Thursday: “The
taxing power of government must be used
10 provide revenues for legitimate govern:
‘ment purposes , . . It must not be used to
Fegullate the economy or bring about social
change . . ."

If our nation continues in its present path
of transferring dollars and capital inyest-
ment from the civilian to the military sector
of the economy, America's economic
{roubles will become even more serious
than they are at present, First, studies show

that military spending ieads to unemploy
ment, The Federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics found that for every billion
dollars the government spends on the
military, 75,710 jobs are created, but if the
same billion were spent on construction,
100,072 jobs would be created — an in-
grease of 24,362 jobs, If the same billion
dollars Were spent on education, 187,299
jobs would be created,

Secondly, military spending is highly in-
flationary, As Marion Anderson, director
of Employment Research Associates

Teported in a study for the Machinists!
union; “Most military contractors produce
on a cost-plus basis. They have no incentive
to improve efficiency and cut waste. Con-
tractors get guaranteed profits no matter
What the costs incurred, As their profits are
calculated as a percentage of their costs,
their basic incentive is to increase their costs
and thus their profits .

These resources are used in the produc-
tion of military hardware and services at the
‘expense of their availability to the civilian
sector, Bombs, missiles, submarines, and
tanks cannot be bought by.the public, They
add nothing to the supply of consumer
‘goods and cannot be either reused or utilize
ed in the production of other goods.
Therefore, the stock of civilian goods and
services is reduced and the market prices of
raw materials are bid up thus pushing up
prices along the production chain for all
goods and services,

The federal government must borrow
money in the open market to finance the
military, This not only adds (o the federal
debts, it adds to the interest cost of services
on the debt, and it bids up interest rates —
the price of money — which everyone has
to pay,

Contractors themselves enter the money
markets to borrow capital for military pro:
duction, This reduces the availability of
capital for the civilian sector and gives an
additional boost to interest rates.

‘A massive campaign by progressive
forces is needed to pressure the Reagan ad-
ministration to reverse the pattern of
sacrificing basic human needs to finance
American intervention around the globe. A
coalition of Albany area groups, including
the Community for Common Sense and the
Albany Citizens Party, is sponsoring a
demonstration against ‘the budget cuts on
Saturday at 11:00 AM at the Federal Office
Building in Albany (Clinton and South
Pearl Streets, opposite the Palace Theater),
With your presence, you can make a con-
tribution to the building of a progressi
coalition in our area that can reverse the na-
tional priorities from the military towards
fulfillment of human ne ds.

Mail Gripe

To the Editor:

state Is picking Up much of the costs of run-

ning the system, but this is no longer the

case, Our tuition is going up, our room

rents are going up, our board rates are go
ing up, and none of these increases are due

Can anything be done to improve the ono inflation.

campus mail service? Is there really such a
thing? I wonder. First of all, my roommate
sent a Christmas card, last semster, to an
‘on-campus friend, he has yet to sec it.
Secondly, 1 got this pink notice (2/18/81)
saying that I owed 15 cents on a letter which
was waiting for me at the Pine Hills Post
Office, So, I devoted 45 minutes of Tucs-
day, Feb, 24 to take the bus down, pick up
the letter and catch a bus back up. In the
process, 1 found out the hard way that
there's no bus stop at the corner of Western
‘and Pine streets, What business Is it of
yours? In the (op right-hand corner of the
‘envelope was written, very clearly, "ON
CAMPUS MAIL”, and my friend states
that she'd mailed it in the mailbox under
the archway at Colonial Quad, How it got
to Pine Hills is a mystery to me. Does
anybody else have an explanation??

Our Future

To the Editor:

We think we are so grand! Elephants are
grand. I saw a little boy, possessor of our
future, and he was sucking a lollipop. I ask-
ed him his name, He said to me: “You are
black!" Chairs and tables are made of
wood, are they not? Who does not see
Wooden faces or wooden eyes on a walk
across SUNYA's own podium? We must
stop and think and live, and end our ex-
Istence as mere pieces of wood!

In my native land, there is hatred and
wat. People kill for pleasure, There certain-
ly is much to be thankful for in these United
States, But we must terminate these images
which maddened, Without social or moral
conditioning, we are animals who flash
teeth. Designer jeans may appeal (0 our
animal drives-but can they feed the hungry
people of Africa or Asia???

Brilsher, who is making his Amerlean debut.
Though Irvin may be a new face on the
American filmmaking scene, he's hardly a
newcomer to his craft. A one-time architec:
ture student, Irvin is a twenty year veteran of
the British Broadcasting Company, having
worked his way up from the editing room.
Most recently, Irvin directed the BBC's
highly acclaimed production of John
LeCarre’s Tinker,Tallor,Soldier,Spy which
starred Alec Guiness, and the new produc:

Mr. Irvin consented to an Interview In

the turtle’s death was the store's fault,
(incidentally, I'am a biology major with a
particularly concentrated interest in her-
patology, the study of reptiles). Having
‘owned a turtle back home for almost ten
years now, I can safely say that only the
best of care was given that turtle.

When asked what he was going to do
with Cocoa in the mean time, Tom said
“Til freeze him and then have a her-
patologist take a look at him.’ Well this
sounded a bit too troublesome for a thriv
ing business — contesting the loss of a nine

dollar item. The mercenary act this man .

committed was less than despondent com-
pared to the merciless slaughter of the
animal,

James Robinson, a Delmar veterinarian,
was supposed to inspect our deceased turtle
on Tuesday, February 24, On Wednesday,
Feb. 25, we called Pet World and spoke
again to Tom who told us that under no cir-
cumstances would he refund our money or
even replace our turile on an even ex-
change. When asked whether Dr. Robinson
had actually inspected the turtle; Tom said,
NOH eet

To add background, my suitemates pur-
chased a fish tank, gravel, filters and ten
dollars worth of fish last semester. Within
two months, the ten dollars worth of fish
died of unknown causes, When asked
where the fish were purchased, my
sultemates responded "that new store, Pet
World, at the Northway Mall,"”

To the Editor

Wednesday night, 1 appeared before the
University Judicial Board as a witness fora
defendant in a particular case, Never before
have I seen such a group that, in their at-
tempt at fairness, did more injustice than
justice to the defendant

Besides myself and one other witness, the
defendant and the other witnesses, totalling
cight people, did not know any of the rules
of parliamentary procedure, nor did the
board make any attempt at the outset {0 ex
plain these rules, even in a modified for
The witnesses could not have known (
they were speaking out of turn and at one
point they were threatened with expulsion
from the hearing if they continued to speak
out of turn, The rules of parliamentary pro-
cedure came up as the case proceeded, but
there was no explanation of each rule, Still,
Tam wondering how many of the witnesses
know what ‘Point of Information’ means,

Another instance of unfair trial was when
one of the board members started yelling at
the defendant and the witnesses in much the
same Way a parent yells at a three year old
child for doing something wrong.

I do realize that an adversary stance
should be taken by the board members
against both the defendant and the com-
plainant, but the board seemed to have
staken the stance that the defendant was
already guilty before the case was finished
being heard.

As there were a lot of witnesses, two were
asked to make closing statements. This was
understandable, since the case would have
extended well over two hours and the
witnesses’ closing statements would pro:
bably have overlapped; however, the two
who made closing statements were not, in
my opinion, listened to by the board
members, 1, as one of the-witnesses making
a closing statement, did not sce any of 1
board members writing down any of my
statement, which included material that had
not yet been brought to light.

My final complaint is that althoug!
charge was that the defendant violated on
of the rules in the student guidelines, that
specific guideline was so vague that the ac
tual violation, in regards to the guidelines,
could not be seen.

Lam very disappointed to think that thi
isa student-run judicial board. The lack of
concern and co} that these student
showed the defendant, another student,
just proved to me that this is not an ad
judieating council, but a kangaroo court, |

Hi the

sy

also hope that my criticisms in this letter are
taken well by the judicial board members, 1
would hate to see the verdict be a result of
this letter against the board,

Our Turn Now

One of the most important attributes of the SUNY system in
the past has been its low cost, high quality education. The SUNY
Board of Trustees has lost sight of this fact. In calling for a tui-
tion hike, they are neglecting their responsibilities to the students.
The trustees are unwilling to fight for SUNY.

If they won’t act, we must find the solutions to these problems
ourselves.

Through the combined efforts of SU, SA and SASU we now
have a chance to state our views to our elected officials in the
legislature,

On Monday, it will be our turn to lobby in a strong and unified
way.

We must all join together to tell our legislators that we cannot
afford a tuition increase.

It is the obligation of the state to provide students access to a
quality education. We must convince our elected officials that
there are reasonable alternatives other than a tuition increase in
order to balance the SUNY budget. We are sure that there are
other areas of the state budget that can be cut which would have a
less detrimental effect on the future of the state and our nation as
a whole,

If the necessary money cannot be found, the alternative would
be tragic,

With the decrease in government grants and loans, many
Students may find it difficult to cope with the present cost of
education. With an added tuition increase it could become im-
possible to deal with.

We cannot allow public higher education to be used as a pawn
in the budget game, It is a necessity and the legislature must
realize its responsibilty to provide it.

So on Monday, we must all descend on the Capitol and let our
Voices be heard. We must go in numbers to make them aware of

Mann Pegged As “Lady Of The Year”

by Phil Pivnick

Albany women's tennis coach
Peggy Mann has been named.
‘Tennis Lady of the Year”” by the
Eastern Tennis Association (ETA),

An BTA official said Mann
received the award for ‘her devo-
tion to the game of tennis, and for
serving so many years as tourna-
ment chairman for many. sta

“It's very nice (0 be recognized

organization for many years, But 1
still like coaching young people best
— working with young people and
watching them progress. It keeps
me young,’ Mann said,

Mann came to Albany in 1963
‘and started women’s club tennis. In
1967 her team was elevated to varst-
ty status, and since that time Mann
has compiled a 94-40 record. Last
fall, her squad was ranked eleventh
of 46 schools in New York State.
Mann has never had a losing season
as Albany coach.

“{ was born with a tennis racquet
in my hand'’ is the way Mann jok-
ingly described her start in the
game. Her father was the first
American to officiate in the finals
‘at Wimbledon. "He got me in to
this game,’ she said. The younger
Mann has been an official for the

United States Tennis Association
since age 16 when she worked at the
U.S. Open at Forest Hills. Mann
also served as an umpire at
‘Wimbledon in 1978.

The Albany coach is a member of
numerous tennis organizations, and
has a position on the Board of
Directors of the ETA. She is includ-
ed in Who's Who of American
Women and the National Register
of Prominent Americans.

Last December, Mann received,
what she calls “her biggest honor,"
Athalftime of the Virginia-William
and Mary basketball game, she was
inducted to the William and Mary's
sports hall of fame, During her col-
lege career there, she starred in field
hockey, basketball as well as tennis.
“It was great going back to the
school after all these years,'" were
Mann's comments about receiving
the great honor from her alma
mater.

Women Cagers Just Get By Russell Sage , 64-62
Score Not The True Story

by Lori Cohen,

Coming off fantastic play in the
Capital District Tournament, the
Albany State women's basketball
team won an jineventful, an:
ticlimatic game against Russell Sage
Wednesday night, 64-62.

comeback in the closing five
minutes.

It was anticlimatic after the ex:

we can keep our intensity up,"? said
Albany women's basketball coach
Amy Kidder,

The game was played in a very
foutine fashion, The Danes looked
uninspired, yet were leading al the
half 31-20, Russell Sage depended,
throughout the whole game, mainly
an outside shooting, continuously
hitting buckets from twenty and
wenty-five feet. :

Albany Comeback Nips Cortland In Overtime

Seniors Playing In Final Home Game
Notch 20th Win Of The Year, 66-64

by Larry Kahn

Tt has been a long time since an
Albany State basketball team won
20 games In the regular season, but
the Danes notched their twentieth
{n the season finale on Tuesday
against Cortland in University
Gym.

But it wasn’t easy, Albany was
down three times from the second
half on, but each time they fought
back and finally edged the Red
Dragons in overtime, 66-64,

"1 have never been so proud of a
team," said Albany head basketball
coach Dick Sauers, So many guys
were sick and hurt, Coaching was
no longer a factor, it was their in-
dividual effort and pride, They're a
bunch of winners — the whole
damn team,’

The victory extended Albany
record to 20-4 — the best regular
season mark they have ever posted.
The Danes hadn't matched that
Output since the 1960-61 campaign,
although they haye gone on fo win
over twenty games in each of the
past two seasons in post-season
play.

The game was also special for
another reason. With Potsdam
already selected to host the NCAA.

Clune, who has played in every
Albany contest for four years, also

set a new team record with 101
‘games played,

"We were kind of charged up,"
Clune said.

"It fell a little special,’* Cesare
added, “I realized it might be the
last one here and I got a little up for
if?

Albany, with all four seniors star=
ting, controlled the game in the first
half, leading by as much as 20-12
despite 38 percent shooting from
the floor. The big difference in the
half was Albany's control of the
boards, with John Dieckelman (13
points, 13 rebounds) ripping down
six of the team's 21 rebounds while
Cortland was held to only 14

The Danes led 29-24 at halftime,
but the Red Dragons came oltt roar-
ing in the second half. With 15:48,
left star forward Jim Meyerdierks
(23 points per game average), who
had been held to only six points and
had three personal fouls in the first
half, stole the ball in the backcourt
and dropped in an easy breakaway
lay up to give Cortland the lead,
3 Aided by Albany's horren-
dous outside shooting they extend-
ed their advantage to 44-37.

‘Then the momentum began to
swing back to Albany. Dieckelman
blocked a shot and Cesare drove in-
side for two to narrow the lead to
44-41. Slowly the Danes closed the
Bap and tied it with seven minutes
left on two Mike Gatto free throws,
47-47

Cortland regained and held a

the last shot, but the strategy
backfired, Clune and Cesare trap-
ped Tom Spanbatier and when he
tried to pass it Gatto came up on the
right wing for the steal and an easy
lay up with 0:32 remaining.

“It looked like a watermelon it
was so big, I couldn't believe he
lobbed it up there like that," Gatto
said.

Ruling Challenges Title Lx

by Susan Milligan
A federal judge in Michigan has
ruled’ that colleges and public
Schools are not required to provide
equal athletic programs for men
and women if those programs do
Not receive direct federal monies,
The decision, still under appeal,
may be a major setbtick for Title
IX, a federal law mandating equal
Opportunity for men and women in
the athletic programs at federally
funded educational institutions.
Title IX states that ‘no person in
the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex,
be excluded from participation in,
be denied the benefits of, be treated
differently from another person, or.
otherwise be discriminated against
in any interscholastic, inter-
collegiate, club, or intramural
athletics offered by recipient, and
ho recipient shall provide any such
athletics separately on such basis.””
The scope of the law extends

US, District Judge Charles W,
Joiner ruled, however, that ‘the
Teach of Title 1X extends only to
those educational programs or ac-
tivities which receive direct financial
assistance,”

The ruling Was a result of a
lawsuit filed by Arthur Owen, who
demanded that a women's golf
team be started at Ann Arbor's
Pioneer High School.

The ruling would not affect
SUNYA unless affirmed at an ap.

Women’s coach Lee Rhenish said
She ‘hopes the (ruling) won't affect
Us" and added that although “the
federal law is the pressure behind"?
Title IX compliance, she hoped that
the institution itself would provide
equal opportunity regardless of.

Rhenish remarked, however, that
the issue “may end up in’ the
Supreme Court. , and in view of

Feds Tighten Controls Over Foreign Students

by Susan Smith

In an attempt to tighten controis
on foreign students in this country,
the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) has
ruled that students’ Arrival and
Departure Form must now list a
specific departure day.

Previously, students could stay in.
the country as long as they were
enrolled in classes, In order to
maintain student status, Assistant
Dean for Student Affairs in the In-
ternational’ Student Service Paul
Ward said, individuals must be

academic load, speak fluent
English, and haye sufficient funds
{o support themselves,

The new regulation, effective

March 30, will affect 300,000
foreign students throughout the
country. At SUNYA there are 465
foreign students from 79 different
countries, Ward said.

The tightening of controls on
foreign students was stimulated by
the Iranian situation, In the fall of
1979 Iranians were required by the
INS to have their statis cards
evalidated, as well as interviews
conducted and individual
photographs taken, Alitough the
INS asked for a list of how many
Iranian students were presently
enrolled in U.S, schools, not all
schools complied. The exact
number of Iranian students Was not
known,

Ward said, however, that
