The head coaches of Albany State's men's
and women's cross country teams couldn't
haye more different philosophies about
Satiirday's Capital Disirict meet.

Men's coach Bob Munsey claimed that
Winning the meet is not a priority. "We're
just running through this meet,"” said
Munsey, ‘This is more of a workout-lype of
meet; we're really not taking it that
serlously."”

Coming off a strong second place finish at
the SUNYAC championship, the men will be
facing four-time defending champion Siena,
RPI, and Union, Siena, a Division 1 school,
is a strong favorite to repeat, based on thelr
victory at the LeMoyne Invitatiohal, a meet
that involved several strong schools,

‘Coach Munsey has never seen Siena run

how good they are is a mystery to

‘The Incentive to beat Siena really isn't

for Munsey, His game plan would be to

stick with the RPI runners, But not
everybody lacks an incentive,

Leading runner Ed McGill, who was
bothered by a cold in last week's champion-
ship meet, has two reasons for Wanting to do
Well, "I don't like Siena or Union,"” said
McGill, ‘'so I really would like to beat
them,"* On a more personal level, McGill is
trying to redeem himself after a disappoin-
tng 24th place finish last week, **I'm a firm
believer in the saying, ‘you're only as good as
your last race,’ so I'm looking to come back
strongly,'? commented McGill, Last week his
cold hampered his ability to pass other run:
ners; though still sick, McGill will be closer to
full strength this week,

RPI also presents a challenge to Alban:
‘It should be an interesting battle betwe
RPI and ourselves,"’ said Coach Munsey,
“They'll be very competitive with their first
three runners, but I think that we can beat

The men's and women's cross country team will be hosting the Capital District
meet tomorrow afternoon. Also competing are RPI, Union and Siena,

them this year,"* Albany finished third
behind Siena and RPI last year.

Munsey wasn't too concerned about
Union, “I don't think that they're on the
same level as we are this year,"'he noted
Union was overwhelmed by RPI earlier this
year,

Despite Munsey’s indifference towards the
Capital District meet, co-captain Jim Erwin
insisted that he won't take this meet lightly.
+1] want to see if we can run with Siena," said
Erwin, 'The meet will be held on our home
course, Which should be to our benefit.”” The
last few years, the mect was held at a neutral

site.

Being a Division I school gives Siena cer-
tain advantages over a school like Albany
State. Some of these advantages aren't that
ethical, according to the coach. “I'm sure
that athletic prowess isn’t overlooked when
financial ald is given out at a Division 1
school,!” said Munsey. ‘‘Regardless of what
is sald, I'm sure that these schools engage in
such a fashion,”

The men will be concentrating on later
meets, rather than going all out here, To
Munsey, the Capital District meet is nothing
more than a timed workout. ‘With all the
big meets coming up, this meet just isn’t that
important to us,’” noted Munsey. ‘It comes
along at a very awkward time for us,

In sharp contrast with Munsey's views,
women's coach Ron White has been keying
his team for this meet for some time now.
“I've been talking Capital District since
September,” stated the coach. ‘This is the
meet that all the girls have been waiting for.”

White senses the mental readiness of the
women; they know that a victory here could
spell a turnaround for their thus far winless
season,

to the post-season events, The women that

don't make the top seven will represent
Albany in their Albany Invitational.

To repeat as champions, the runners would
have to defeat their main competition, RPI.
Albany lost to RPI 24 to 34 in an earlier meet
held at Hamilton; the women will be looking
to redeem themselves here. ‘RPI is a very
tight running team,"commented White.
‘They pack five runners within a minute;
we'll have to break that up. The girls will be
trying to position themselves with RPI’'s run-
ners to do just that, The physical contact that

Experts react to Lebanon tragedy

Eee

The question of the U.S. marine presence
in Lebanon and what the nation should do
now in the wake of Sunday's slaughter
brought widely differing reactions from local
government and foreign policy experts,

SUNYA Political Science Department
Chairman Martin Edelman said the marines
are in Lebanon as a tool of American foreign
policy — to exercise leverage in an important
part of the world, He added that he doubts
that Congress will force the President to
remoye the marines.

Abdo I. Banklini, Director of Interna-
tional Development Programs at the
Graduate School of Public Affairs and a
specialist in Middle Eastern and Lebanese af-
fairs, said President Reagan made a very un-
wise decision to put the marines in Lebanon
to fulfill « political role, “The sooner we
realize our marines are not serving any pur
pose there, that they are just (argets, the bet~
ter off we will be,"” he said,

According to Edelman, the three-week-old

compromise on the War Powers Resolution
between Congress and the President, when
Congress granted Reagan 18 additional mon-
ths t0 keep the troops in Lebanon before a
reexamination, was the most significant legal
word on the policy. ‘In a formal way, they'll
stay there," he said, adding that the constitu.
tionality of the resolution is in question since
the Supreme Court this summer declared
congressional vetoes unconstitutional,

Baaklini, however, said that although he
faults Congress for abandanine its nower in
the War Powers compromise, Congress and
the public are the eritical factors in the policy
decisions in the wake of the bombings,

The difference between public opinion
following the Gulf of Tonkin incident, where
President Johnson received overwhelming
support, and this tragedy is extremely impor-
tant, said Baaklini, The government is stil
pursuing some policies and not garnering
from the past, but the public, judging from
reactions, seems much more aware, he
sserted.

"I hope the Congress and the media will
bring some sense into this situation,’ said

Baaklini,

According to Baaklini, the U.S, now has
{wo options, In the short term, he sald, the
U,S, must make clear to the Gemayel regime
that It cannot count on it for protection for
long. The long term solution in both
Lebanon and the Middle East as a whole, he
said, is @ resolution of the Palestinian pro-
blem,

The whole root of the tragedy, sald
Baaklini, can be traced to U.S. attitudes
following the Israell invasion of 1982,

Bashir and Amin Gemayel were never seen
As legitimate leaders by other Lebanese, he
asserted, Rather, they were seen as leaders of
an aristocratic minority installed in power at
the point of an Israeli bayonet

“The U.S. made Gemayel its man," he

he does what America and

id of pushing for a true

national reconciliation, the U.S, supported

and attempted to legitimize the for-

mula of the Lebanese Constitution, which

calls for a Christian President and a Moslem
Prime Minister, with other

Protesters arrested during Seneca

"By Lisa Mirabella

More than 380 people, including eight
local residents, were arrested Monday for
blocking the gates of the Seneca Army
Depot, The civil disobedience was held after
Saturday's march and rally that brought
7,500 people to the upstate New York depot
that is believed to be storing Cruise and Per-
shing 11 missiles.

The attempted blockade had little effect on
depot operations because employees used
Unblockaded gates to reach work, sald Depot
spokesperson Robert Zemanek

“As far as we know, all the ones who in
tended to work haye come in,” he said, The
depot has 1,000 civilian workers, but
Zemanck said many did not come to work
because they were offered a liberal leave
policy for today if they wished to ayoid the
protest

The actions were part of world-wide events
protesting the deployment of nuclear missiles
and calling for a freeze on nuclear arms. Tom
Riissell said, “There was’ a stress: on. the

solidarity between U.S. and European ef-
forts.

The highlight of the rally was Women USA
chair, Bella Abzug who delivered a powerful
speech. Drea Leanza, a local organizer for
the Women's Peace Encampment, said of
Abzug, ‘Her speech was the most dynamic
one of the day. She put everything in a clear
perspective,'?

Other speakers included author Dr. Ben-
jamin Spock and columnist Manning.
Marable

The Seneca Army Depot is the principal
East Coast storage facility of nuclear
weapons, The Pershing I1 missiles thought to
be stored there are especially objectionable to
the protesters because of their capacity to
reach Soviet targets six minutes after they are
launched.

According (o Dirk Hoekstra, Disarma-
ment Project Co-coordinator at NYPIRG,
deployment of these missiles would drastical-
ly increase both the likelihood and the scale
of any military reaction,

Also, the missiles are yery small and if
deployed, they could invalidate many arms

conirol agreements because there will be no
Way {© verify them. Hoekstra said ‘The
missiles will be deployed in December if the
Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces negoti

ions with the Soviet Union are not suc:
cessful."

Many protests were staged at sites in West
Germany, Sicily and Great Britain where the
missiles will be sent, while the focus of the
Seneca march was to protest them before
they are sent. Organizers were hoping {0 at
least delay the date of the deployment, so by
six months or a year INF negotiations could
be continued,

Another goal of the rally was to push for
the conversion of the Seneca Depot to a non
nuclear facility. Laenza said, ‘The com
munity depends on the depot for jobs," but
she sald they could keep the jobs without
housing nuclear weapons,

Russell said he felt the best part of Satur-
day's rally was the informal march from
‘Sampson State Park to the fence surrounding
the depot airfield, ‘It was really spooky, The
fence scems like it goes on forever, Inside is a
barren wasteland of an airfield.’” Many peo-

New statement clarifies interim alcohol policy

By Jim O'Sullivan

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The Office of Residential Life recenily
released a policy statement that Student
Association Vice President Jeff Schneider
said significantly clarifies the interim alcohol
guidelines released at the beginning of the
semester. The policy will go into effect Oc-
tober 31.

Schneider described the policy as ‘‘an addi-
tional report to RA's."” He said the policy
was released as a result of his meeting with
Director of Residential Life John’ Martone
and Assistant Director Liz Radko three times
a week for several weeks, Schneider said that
now, ‘lounge parties are fine when they're
reasonable” if special function form is filed
and approved by the area coordinator.

Schneider said that another result of the
meetings was if a function is denied and the
reasons for the denial are not understood, the
parly sponsors can go to Martone for
clarification,

The SA vice president said that he would
be willing to help anyone whose function has
been denied in his or her dealings with
residential life

According {0 a six-page memorandum sent
out with the special functions policy, a
special functions request. must be filed
whenever a party ‘is not completely contain
ed within a student sulte/room or a public
area is desired,"

The memo said
will be determined

‘an appropriate location
nd assigned by the ar

Events must be held ‘in areas which are
ot adjacent to student sultes/rooms in order
10 support students! needs to study and work
and the quiet hour policy,"*

The original alcohol policy guidelines
released in September caused confusion and
misunderstanding in requiring the par-
tyholder to obtain permits from New York
state and the city of Albany for alcohol, in
addition to what is required under University
Regulations.

‘The memo sald there are ‘several points in
the law open to interpretation’? and that if a
group, such as a quad board, "has a stan-
dard operating budget... . it may continue to

Use its balance to purchase alcohol for events
without applying for a temporary beer and
wine permit,”

The memo limits the amount of alcohol
available at dorm parties. The memo suggests
‘one drink per person each hour.

The memo also requires requires par
tyholders to "be sure . . . to refrigerate or
ice soda and display and serve it as attractive-
ly as the alcohol’ for the benefit of people
Not old enough to drink alcoholic beverages.

The area coordinator for Colonial and
State quads, Howard Woodruff, sald the
“overall intent of the special function policy
is (0 give information to students as to how

Controversial King holiday gets through Senate

He feels that the holiday has been

Tong-time coming. ”®

By Therese Kennedy

After fifteen years of controversy the
United States Senate overwhelmingly passed
a bill October 20 that will honor the late
Reverend Dr, Martin Luther King, Jr, with a
national holiday.

The bill passed with a 78-22 vote and
specified that the holiday will be celebrated
the third Monday of each January, starting in
1986.

The greatest opposition to the bill came
from Senator Jesse Helms (R-North
Carolina) whose efforts to send the bill back
to the Judiciary Commitee for additional
hearings was defeated, Helms charged that
the Reverend Dr. King had "Marxist ties!"
and associated with ‘far left elements and
elements of the Communist Party USA."
Helms claims that sealed records of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation would sup-
port his argument. Despite the bill's ap
proval, he will ask the U.S, Court of Appeals
that the District of Columbia open the
records

The records are sealed for fifty years by a
court order, to settle a dispute between the
King family and the FBI, Accordi
reports from the New York Times, King's
friends and associates assert that none of the
records will support Helms

SUNYA student representatives expressed
similar opinions concerning the new holiday
and Helms’ remarks,

Student Coordinator of Minority Affairs,
Vivian Vasquez, said, “I don't know much
about Senator Helms himself, but the
thetoric of the United States in general is op-
posing to communism." She explained that
people think of communism as a bad word

le think that they ean use it as,

that this tactic

was, ‘the worst explanation for not making
it-a holiday." Vasquez praised King as a na-
tional hero-for all: people, not just blacks.

“He was a leader who wanted to work with
the system’? she added,

Student Chairman of ASUBA, Eddie
wards, felt that the holiday has been ‘a long
time coming! but does not think that itis so-
ing. to have much effect on America or peo-

5 consciousness, He noted that, ‘for

5 it is just another day off,

Those who always fought for rights, will con~
tinue to fight

He stressed the importance of remember
ing Malcolm X, Edwards equated Malcolm X
with King, saying, "1 hope black Americans:
won't forget Malcolm X, It is foolish for

Americans 0° only honor Martin
Luther King and nok hold Malcolm X in the
same light." He added that he has been get-
ting that feeling from a lot of people.

President of the Minority Business
Association Douglas Lucas, Jr, said that
Helms is “an example of the bigots we still
have who don’t believe in human equality as
a whole,” He described Helms as ‘an exam-
ple of all those people that we have to
reeducate in a way to look at people as
equal," He added that “there are many peo-
ple who have contributed as a whole to
equality and King’s day represents all human
equality,”’ Lucas stressed that King was not
only a man who did things for blacks, but

President Duncan Bailey said that
Helms “is @ segment of the past politics of
the sisties. Now there is passive racism other
than overt racism. Helms represents overt
racism,”

Other SUNYA students referred to Helms
as “pig headed," “prejudiced,’” and
“definitely on his way out of Senate next
term." The holiday was called “'a victory,"
"a representation of America’s efforts to
squalize all races!” and ‘a step in the right
direction." The holiday is only the second
national holiday to honor an individual, the
first being George Washington's birthday, 2)

Supporters, critics face off over NY Bond issue

By Bob Gardinier
STAFF WAITER:

Tn an attempt to repair the state’s
deteriorating infrastructurey Governor Mario
Cuomo has proposed a $1,258 “Rebuild
New York"! bond that will face the voters in
the November 8 general election,

Voters will be asked to decide whether to
give the state authority to borrow the
$1.25B in bonds, called general obligation
bonds, that will have to be paid back over a
period of years, And, the stipulations on
these bonds limit their use only to transport
tion related projects, according to. Don
Baker, a senior transportation analysist with
the Department of Transportation,

To date there is a long list of groups and
organizations that have come out in favor of
the bond Issue, mainly labor groups, A
private citizens group called the "'Vote Yes
Committee"? has raised money and is work:
ing closely with the governor to educate and
publicize the bond issue referendum,

However, the bond does have it op-
ponents, including some environmental
groups, but most importantly the
Automobile Association of America has op-
posed the bill saying that the state is not spen-
ding enough of the monies that it takes in
from the motorists for long term highway use
and bridge maintenance,

The’ Association of General Contractors
had also been in opposition to the bond issue,
but after recent meetings with the governor
they have changed their position to
favorable, according to Baker. ‘They (like
the AAA) were concerned about state debt
and would like to see a dedicated fund for
sate transportation," he said,

‘A rundown of the proposed bond includes
SIB to be used for highway, bridges and
commuter rail parking fac
bus, airport and other rail fac ilities; and
$75M for ports, waterways and canals,

Also included in the amount are monies to
be spent on Transportation AGthority buses
and facilities, The Capital District Transpor-

tation Authority announced support of the
bond issue in a press release, October 18,
"The Authority is strongly in favor of the
passage of the bond issue, It would provide
‘over three million dollars to rebuild roads
and bridges in the Capital District and it
Would also assure funds to replace worn out
buses," according to CDTA Chairman
Robert G. Lyman, The CDTA also stated
that support is in order for the bond because
it would provide an anticipated 36,000 new
Jobs over a five year period,

Some local and state incidents have recent-
ly ocurred that have indicated a need to
overhaul the infrastructure, includin;

—A water main break and electrical fire in
Manhattan over the summer cut power to the
Garment District.

=A Connecticut Turnpike bridge spanning
the Mianus River collapsed this summer caus-
Ing motorist fatalities.

—A water pipe rupture in Schenectady caus-
ed extensive flooding of part of that city.
=A section of Washington Avenue in
Albany in front of the Capitol collapsed
recently leaving a large gaping hole in the
middle of the busy thrououghfare,

Criticism aimed at the bond issue also in-
cludes complaints that in two past referen-
dums approved by the voters; a 1977, $250M.
bond issue and a 1979, $500M bond issue;
only part of the available monies were actual-
ly spent, Bul, according to Baker, the
Department of Transportation Is still fully

committed to these projects and the projects
are not finished. *'Some of thls money we
can not spend until the Federal Funds are
ailable,"’ he added.

Tranportation commissioner, James
Larocea, will supervise the spending of the
bond money if the voters approve it
November, and according to the transporta-
tion department, his responsibility will in-
clude the allocating of $7.4B over the next
five years. The bond issue is a five year pro-
gram, and in addition to it there would be
$1.15B in regular state appropriations, $1.98
in Federal funds and another $1.3B in other

Cuomo and bond supporters

The bond issue will face voters in the November election

state funds,

NYPIRG has made public statements in
opposition to the bond, according to Paul
Herrick, NYPIRG project coordinator at
SUNYA, Their complaint is that the original
proposal passed in June was not very specific
and it was not until September that the spec-
fic workings of the bond were passed.
“There has not been enough time for public
debate in the bond, . He feels
there may be better ways to raise the money
and the bond may not be a good idea
because of the high interest rates, He added
that there is an upstate-downstate question as
to how the money will be distributed. ‘Do
the voters really know where their money is
going to Herrick.

Baker said that one of the enivornmental
groups that is critical of the bond issue is the
Sierra Club. ‘They say that the Department
Of Transportation is inefficient, but I don't

The carbon dioxide buildup results primarily from burning fossil fuels,

On-campus students unaffected by AT&T change

The divestiture of AT&T on Jan:
1, 1984 will restructure phone ser-
vices in this country, but on-campus

by the changes, according to Peter

Carbon dioxide buildup cited
as reason for temperature shifts

By Frank Zappala

Scientists fear that carbon dioxide buildup
in the atmosphere will create a ‘greenhouse
effect," resulting in major temperature shifts
by the year 2000, according to a recently-

sased study by the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency,

“The problem,"’ according to chairman of
the university's Atmospheric Sciences
Research Center Richard Orville, ‘tis that the
calculations are just guesses of what might be
4 result if there is a continuing rise in carbon
dioxide,

"The models are uncertain,’”” according to
atmospheric science professor Jon Scott,
“They are much simpler than the real earth,
There are things changing everyday."”

According to senior research associate Ron
Stewart, however, The predictions are the
best assumptions we ean put into planning
for the future.

‘There are no absolute ideas,'* he said
“They only guide us to prepare for a change
in the same direction, If we take all the
assumptions and models in ten years we
might have all new predictions," he conclud
ed.

The carbon dioxide buildup is a slow pro-
cess resulting primarily from the burning of
fossil fuels, This buildup, in turn, causes
more evaporation, resulting in more clouds
that prevent some radiation from leaving the
carth’s atmosphere, according to Orville,

Scoit sald the process, which has been go-
ing on for decades, will result in a slight rise
in atmospheric temperature, “How much 1
don't think anyone really knows, That we
will have to wait and see,"" Scott said.

“There are only a few ways that we can
control the increase in carbon dioxide into

the atmosphere, What we need is a

government-planned policy — not for what
will happen, but what may happen, There
should be a shift in energy usage toward more
clean and efficient usage. If we could slow
down the burning of fossil fuels and start a
ew energy mix program we could slow down
the pollution rate of the atmosphere,””
Stewart suggested, Scott pointed out that
keeping fuel prices artificially high would
promote conservation and discourage burn-
ing of fossil fuels,

The increase in carbon dioxide in the en-
Vironment will also increase the pace of
photosynthesis in plants, ‘This will enable
plants to produce at a higher rate with less
water,"" according (0 Scott,

“If we step up agriculture — it would be
necessary for the U.S, to do so — the U.S,
will be able to produce enough food for
itself," added Stewart, although he pointed
‘out that there are many other counitles that
rely on food from the United States. Orville
sald that If the predictions are correct there
could possibly be a gradual movement of
America’s present agricultural belt to the
North,

The areas that are close 10 freezing, accor-
ding to Orville, will be affected the worst.
‘This is Where you might see some change in
surface and water conditions if there is a rise

n temperature," he explained,

Orville noted that limited data on the
phenomenon hampers research. "There is
presently no better data available to work
with and that is all we have to go on,"

wart, meanwhile, commented on the

It appears (hut we cannot overcome

what we have already done, But we can take

Brenner performance marred by disturbances

By Deb Profet
and Debbie Judge

‘Comedian David Brenner made his way
Onstage after a 50-minute delay in his perfor-
mance Saturday night before a jam-packed
SUNYA gym, His hour-long routine — ‘1
don't think Ihave an act "cause 1 don't,"" he
sald — was presented for Parents’ Weekend
by Speaker's Forum,

Clad in a black glittered suit, the slim
jokester launched Into his repetotre to be
Confronted with disturbances from an un-
comfortable, overpacked audience, Brenner
got his first laughs by toying with the
microphone as he joked, ‘I'm picking up an

port,"” (hrough the crackling mike, and
“I'd like to thank the band," referring to the
large, rock concert-style speakers that flank-
ed the stage and hid him from the view of
those who found themselves jostled to the
wrong end of the bleachers,

"Do you see this?!” he yelled over the
equipment to the audience, “That's why you
can't see me, I can't see them,"" he charged,
waving to people obscured by speakers on the

opposite side,

Apparently, the audience could not see sit-
ting there any longer, and began to descend
the bleachers,

Undaunted by the noisy intrusion on his
story of men bothering one another in the
shower, Brenner replied to a woman who

protested she couldn't hear:
‘Don't blame me, lady. I didn’t build this
place, J only work her

And as spectators continued deserting the
side bleachers, he mused, "Look at this. .
gotta be Jewish people. . .!?

The crowd roared,

chwarta, chalrper-

id the one granted
the chore of announcing repeated delays to a
waiting audience, only 2,790 of the 3,000
‘yailable seats were sold, An additional 210
seats were reserved for Alumni Association
members and the handicapped, and for com=
plementary guests (Speaker's Forum
members and members of the Student

Association, which received five seats),

‘Admission to the performance was eight
dollars with a tax card — twice as much as
that chgrged for last year's Parents’
Weekend performance by Robert Klein.
Schwartz explained that Brenner received
$12,500 for his stint, with an additional
$1,000 to the agency which arranged his ap-
pearance.

Klein, in comparison, was.paid $7,500 for
his 1982 performance.

“I'd rather have paid $20 and have been
comfortable," said SUNYA student Liena
Malatesta, who attended the show with her
parents, *

wartz sald that the gym was so crowded
because "people put coats in seats, didn't
move over. .people were let in for
free. . .we didn't sell over 3,000 seats," she
maintained,

But Schwartz said later that she couldn't
be sure the number of available seats she was
given was correct to begin with, ‘I don’t
know if we ever had a crowd like that
before," she said,

The chairperson also said that 12 student
activities crew members, hired by the group
for crowd control, were letting their friends
in gratis

"They did nothing — they sat around.do-
ing nothing,” sald Schwartz of the crew
members who were paid $5 an hour for thelr
services

And Schwartz went on to say that the
soundslage was set up on elther side of Bren-
ner because “if it was further back, you
would hear feedback."

Brenner had his own ideas about setting up
the stage, and strode between microphone,
speakers and audience, explaining where
ech should be positioned, He suggested the
use of smaller speakers, that the stage should
be moved back, and, to about $0 spectators?
delight, that those who couldn't see from the

thers settle on the floor in front of him,

“Now this is just like a rock concert,"
Brenner jested,

The report began by discussing the purpose
of professor evaluations, and how the evalua-
tions should be made, ,
“The committee represented the broadest

spectrum of opinions on the subject of the
evaluation of teaching," said the report.
Faculty and administrators who use evalua-
tions in making personnel decisions were in-
terviewed by the committee, Three of the
committee members have served as depart-
ment chairpersons, and have experience in
preparing evaluations,

The committee “determined that most of
the significant questions that underlie an
evaluation of teaching in a university can be
credibly answered only through a responsible
peer review," said the report. The report
Went on to say that teacher evaluations have

While the policy gives peer review the
“central role’ in teacher evaluations, it
Teaves the "details of implementation’” up to
each department.

Teacher evaluations should answer ques-

tions which "bear strongly on the evaluation
of teaching, and can be responsibly answered
only by peers,’ the report stated. Examples of
such questions include whether the courey
are challenging, comprehensive and upg,
date, and whether “course assignments and
examinations allow for an adequate evalua

Stony Brook stance

The president of the State University of

the school's administration from a course
that equates Zionism with racism and
Nazism,

ing there Oct. 18 with an official
‘Defamation League of B'Nai

Birith, President John M. Marburger said
such a linkage, as advanced in a course en-
titled “The Politics of Race," is ‘morally
abhorrent,”

Marburger told Rabbi Arthur Seltzer,
Long Island regional director of ADL, that
the Stony Brook administration would act
immediately to “review courses of racial,
ethnic and religious sensitivity to insure the
Proper balance in presentation between
academic freedom and academic respon-
sibility"?

“The Stony Brook administration,"*
Marburger said, “absolutely divorces itself
from any view that links Zionism with
racism or Nazism, Furthermore, I find such
linkages morally abhorrent,"

Marburger acted following a protest
lodged by ADL over the written syllabus
for the course, taught by Professor Ernest
Dube, which specified “three forms of
racism: Nazism in Germany; Apartheid in
South Africa; and Zionism in Isracl,"” The
syllabus then goes on to state: Suggested
topies include ‘Zionism is as much racism as

Self-identity is the key to surviving break-ups

By Felisa Glickman

Karen stood in her suiteroom staring at the

door, Larry's words echoed in her cars:

it’s over between us. | think it’s time

we split up."’ She sat down on the floor and

began to cry, Karen had never before felt so
utterly alone,

‘One of the hardest things 10 do is to sur-
vive the break up of a love .
relationship. A break up is Middle
emotionally draining and Bart
painful. It is a'time of con-
fusion, anger andulsbeiet, _ROOtS

But is is also a time of personal growth, It
is a period in one's life that requires
gentleness, nurturing, and honesty.

Rudy Nemser, counseling coordinator of
Middle Earth, is planning a weekly workshop
‘on surviving the loss of a love. The group will
focus on the emotions and feeling a break up
causes, and explain the process of rebuilding
your self-identity, said Nemser.

A common notion people have is that a
relationship makes you a whole person, a
functional person, or an attractive person,
It’s as if being in a relationship makes you
worthwhile. Rudy Nemser said this is a
dangerous thing to do. People often believe
thay they are nothing without their boy or
girlfriend, that there is no life after a relation-
ship breaks up. The largest part of getting
over a break up is accepting that these feel-
ings of insecurity are unrealistic.

What are the most common reactions to a
break up? Guill, heartache and depression
are among them, Nemser said feelings ex-
perienced in @ break up are similar to the
reactions when a loved one dies.

Death researcher Kubler-Ross defines five
stages a person passes through to cope with
the loss of a loved one, The stages are denial,
bargaining, anger and depression, and they

relevant for those dealing with the loss of
@ love relationship,

Rarely do both parties in a couple mutually
decide to end their relationship, Usually one
party Is ready (o say goodbye earlier than the

other. The one who was left often then denies

the end of the relationship, Statements such
as “I can't believe it's over,!" or ‘He is just
angry, he'll be back" are common, The per-
son is so shocked that he or she really doesn’t
believe the relationship has ended,

The bargaining stage can be recognized by
statements such as "If she comes back, | pro-
mise I'll lose ten pouhds,"* or 1 swear I'll. go
to all my classes if you give me one more
chance,"” It's as if the person is bargaining
for the continuation of the relationship.

Often during the bargaining stage, each
person feels guilty. The one who initiates the
break-up often leaves because of another per-
son, He or she feels guilly because they are
thinking, ‘Here 1am, happy with another

erson, and I left her alone miserable." The

leave?!*This a common reaction. It is vital to
remember that when a person leaves a rela-
tionship, he is probably doing what's best for
himself, It is in no way a reflection of the
other's inadequacies. Rather, it means that
that person's needs have changed, and they
are simply not met by the other mate,

The stage following anger is depression.
Unfortunately, this is the hardest stage to get
through, It can last anywhere from one day
to a few years, depending on the personality
of the person, The best thing a person can do
is to not dwell on the past, The best way to
help oneself is to try {0 move on, It is im-
porant to sce the relationship as an ex-
perience in that person's life which was
meaningful and fulfilling, But a person must

The most important thing is to realize
that you can get through the pain, you will
fall in love again, and you will be loved
again,

one who is left feels guilly because they are
thinking, “If T had only been more giving, or
nicer, or prettier, we'd still be together.

The next stage, anger, is probably one of
the healthiest stages of a break-up, It signifies
4 period in which the person begins to think

Author Paula Siegel hay some advice for
people Who are going through this difficult
period. First, she envourages making an ef»

that being alone isn't as bad as you thought
Remember, “alone! isn't equivalent to
“Jonely.!” Third, try to avold additional
stress during this time, It’s not a good idea to
take on new challenges or make life changes,
Give yourselt time to be pampered and time

are, stay that way, Feeling and looking

healthy will make you feel better about

yourself. It will helghten your self-concept,

Finally, remember there are others who love

you, Lean on these people for emotional sup-

port, Let them know you're hurting, that

you're depressed, and let them help. Even if

helping means listening, or playing a game of ,
Scrabble,

The Jast stage in any break up {s accep.
tance, You begin to accept that the relation-
ship is really over, Often a person begins to
see things clearly in this stage. You may
realize that you are happier now that you
have broken up:

Rudy Nemser cautions against working
toward a reconciliation, Don't get into a
physical fitness program because you think
he'll want you back if you're thinner. Do it
for yourself! And don't go back to a relatfon-
ship unless you have good evidence that
things have changed, For instance, if your
boyfriend beats you, don't go back to him
unless you know that there will not be a
recurrance, If he's told you twenty times
before that he won't hit you again, his word
is not enough, Be smart for yourself,

1's important to note that both parties in
the realtionship go through these stages,
Both grieve and hurt, Often the one who in-
inated the break up went through these stages
before leaving, By the time of the break up,
there Is nothing left to feel except relief, Try
{o recognize though, that there will be fond
memories on both sides, and even if the rela-
tionship cannot continue, you have shared
something very special together.

Breaking up is a long journey. It takes
time, energy, and gentleness, The most im=
portant thing is to realize that you can get
through the pain, you will fall in love again,
and you will be loved again,

Andrew Morfopoulous

Styled by the likes of Art Tatum and Fats
Walker, Billy has mantained himself as a
very versaiile and eloquent performer. After
being initially hired by Ben Webster In 1943,
he has gone on to solidify his reputation with
such musical giants as Dizzy Gillespie, Cozy
Cole, Roy Aldridge and Don Redman:
Among his honors 1s recognition by
Downbeat magazine as best planist in the frst
International Critics Award.

Dr, Taylor has been an outstanding jazz
spokesman. In the latest of his twelve books,

jars Plario, a Musical History, he states that

jazz has continued to be the music which
most consistently has expressed American
moods, thoughts and feelings, Jazz,
‘America’s classical music, needs to be better
understood by Americans,

Billy has been instrumental in bringing

about this understanding in many forums, As

¢ of late thre have been few new

Joprano sax players of note, Such

distinguished soprano giants as
Steve Lacy, John Coltrane and Wayne
Shorter have been the only major influences
In these eclectic jazz times, Yet there stil re-
mains a need for new talent to project fresher
approaches to a somewhat cliche-ridden jazz
idiom,

Jane Ira Bloom fs just such an up-and
‘coming soprano talent to soothe this need
Her latest and most powerful release, Mighty
Lights, justly Intensifies this belief. Sensitivi:
{y, control and maturity far beyond Bloom's
years guide her sound masterfully
throughout each superb composition, A
natural continuum is evident by her op-
parently effortless phrasings, This ease is best
‘exemplified by "Lost in the Stars," where she
charts a smooth course on this gentle, happy
ballad

The expressiveness of Miss Bloom Is
enhanced greatly by the heralded veteran
thythm duo of bassist Charlie Hayden and
drummer Ed Blackwell. They are in thelr
‘usual top form on I Got Rhythm but No
Melody and 2-5-1, the compositions in
which they are allowed the most freedom
Their ability to expand and ignite themes and
their knack for communicating freely have
become thelr trademarks. This style |s a joy

key to the city of Cleveland, He has also
recelved honorary doctorates in the
humanities and music from a half-dozen
schools, as well as earning his own degree in
Musicology from the University of
Massachusetts

Yet what remains most important to his
fans is the music that has made Billy Taylor
famous. Of his over three hundred composi:

stand-outs like "We Need Peace, We
Love,” “Theadora,” “It’s a Grand

Night for Swing’ and "I Wish 1 Knew How it

epitome of the classical American jazz planist

and spontaneity which give each cut its
energy

‘An added attraction to this already lush
sound Is the work of planist Fred Hersch. His
fine supportive playing, very much in the
tradition of the late Bil! Evans, completes the
ensemble sound on his selective ap:
pearances, His finest effort Is on the surreal
bop tune “Change Up,” where his interplay
with Bloom is highly creative and his finest
rhythmic qualities are brought to the surface.
He is also tasteful and sensitive on the Bill
Evans inspired cut “The Man With Glasses,"
and emotional yet beautifully controlled
piece. Hersch’s fine supportive qualities
complement Bloom's sound in an economic
and intelligent manner.

It is significant to mention that although
each individual's efforts are sterling, the
sound Is exceptional when they are brought
together in thelr ensemble. The truly ar-
testing nature of Bloom's soprano playing
within the unit makes Mighty Lights an
album of note. Her ideas are continually
fresh and vivid, Such special qualities are @
rarity in today's music market

Her style is melodic and expressive, yet in
this male-dominated jazz world, she has
received litle public recognition, With such a
fine effort as Mighty Lights, Jane Ira Bloom
has won the acceptance of critics, and will
hopeluly be accepted by the rest of the public

Boys Brigade Is a new Canadian band at-
tempting to break Into the new wave dance
market. For the most part, thelr musicianship
Is mediocre at best. The one exception is
drummer Billie (Bucks) Brock. He has a
distinctive, sharp style that sets him apart
from the rest of the barid. The drumming is
this album's only saving grace, Brock gets
some help from David Porter and Jelf
Packer, who are credited with percussion

The guitar, bass and keyboards all blend
together to facilitate a non-distinct sound, All
six members are credited with vocals
Although no one player is denoted as lead
vocalist, one voice dominates most of the
tracks, Each singer attempts to produce an
enigmatic mood sound a la Heaven 17 or
Yaz, but what he produces 's an emotionless
detached tone. Lyrically, the self-entitled
debut album Is an unqualified disaster. The
entire album Is dripping with cliches, There
Isn't a single original or Inventive verse on
the album

The album begins with a song entitled
“Passion of Love." It seems to be Boys
Brigade’s attempt at Men at Work style pop,
but it just doesn't have the catchy hooks of
that band, “Melody” continues the stream of
cliches. It starts with an echoed rhythm gultar
reminiscent of '60's “Spaghetti Westerns”
sound tracks. The lyrics are semi-chanted
and at one point, two members sing, "He us
ed to drink, he used to fight, he used to beat
her every night” like a pair of high school
cheerleaders, It sounds so ludicrous that it
turns out to be grauesomely funny

“Exodus" provides a break in the sappy

noying, tepetetive beat and I am sure it will
Inevitably be released as an extended dance
single. (there have been so many “extended

I listened to Boys Brigade on two

dance singles” lately that 1 am expecting
ATAT to release an extended dance single
of the busy signal). "Exodus" sounds faintly
reminiscent of Duran “uran’s “Girls on
Film,” as well as about a dozen other
popullar dance songs. This track reminds me
of those nondescript songs you here when
watching disco scenes in television shows

“Saigon” Is a valn attempt at social co)
mentary. There |s, however, no real sta!
ment made, The chorus Is “In Saigon, in
Saigon." Boys Brigade must think that just
mentioning a controversial subject Is enough
to constitute social commentary,

"Africa" sounds like a techno-pop version
of the Toto song of the same name, with
Iyries like", . .a.volee calling in the wind
and “, ancient mysteries of Aftica” laid
over a synthesizer background, One has to
wonder about any band who steals their
creative Ideas from Toto.

The song “Mannequin” {s only worth
mentioning because that should have been
the name of the band. The last song worthy
of mention Is “Aniger (The Hunter). It sports

the few times the bass can be clearly heard. t

same unimaginative lyrics that fil both side
One of the best examples is: “I am a hunte

Alter a couple of listens, the songs on th
album blend together into one confectionar
lump of nothingness. There just isn't one
song that really stands out. There seem
be a lack of any passion exhibited over tt
entire album, The sound | fairly cohesive
but there is no real chemistry among
members, They have no distinct sour

Iistener’s attention. The members of Boy
Brigade could easly have been replo
studio musicians and the same sound wou
have been created. They put too much em
phasis on sounding like other bands, rather
than producing a Boys Brigade sound. Each
musician is competent, but no one, with the
exception of drummer Billie Brock, puts
much soul into his playing. As far as creativ
ty and commitment are concerned, Boys

Brigade has some growing up to do.

Suddenly one can realize the meaning
behind the statement "I think, therefore |
am,"" No longer are objects merely colliding
around In space, in their own separate and
distinct orbits. It's taken millions of years of
evolution for the mind to come to the kinds
of thought processes that we now have the
abllity to form, Realizing that we have come
this far is the first step upon which the rest
are based. Reflecting inward shows us that
there are untapped mental worlds waiting to
come into being, worlds that are still in their
primordial state, Remembrance of things
past, when life started out as liquid space,
light and darkness fused into one, being and
nothingness together

Yet we still ask ourselves what we are,
what defines our existence. Is there a
“Supreme Being’ that guides us? Or are we
really all alone out there, sending messages
to unconcerned trying to hear
ourselves think?

That's what it comes down to; we try and
reach out into space all of the time so that we
may define our own existence through the
presence of others, The feedback that we get
from others, whether positive or negative,
gives shape to the amorphous thought of
the self, When we don't have people
around, we can sometimes lose this sense of

space.

self altogether

It's a scary and almost forbidden thought
to perceive ourselves as being alone. Alone
In the sense that there is no one to comfort
Us in our aloneness, but left in solitude and
desolation

There is eternal hope that one day we may
find other forms of life as we define It, out in
the blackness of space. Other forms of being

Mismanagement

To the Editor:

It's about time that the student association and the
university community commit itself to solving a serious and
highly dangerous problem. 1 am referring to the Speaker's
Forum Presentation of David Brenner on Saturday October
2and.in the gym.

What 1 found most outrageous and embarrassing was
that Speaker's Forum totally disregarded the issue of safe-
ty, The gym was packed beyond "normal" capacity and
many people were forced to sit in the aisles or on the floor
{As well, many people could not see Mr. Brenner because of
the elaborate speaker system which obstructed their views
aya result, the show had to be held-tip until those people
were crammed onto the floor in front of the stage

More importantly, a simple notice telling the audience
where the fire exits are is not enough; adequate access must
be made available to all and it simply was not. I defy a
member of Speaker's Forum to show me how 3,000 plus
people could be safely evacuated if'a fire broke out, Would
‘a handicapped student feel confident about getting out?

Because of these problems and delays the show started $0
minutes late, This, in itself, is very inconsiderate because
other events scheduled for Community University Day had
to be delayed, causing further irritation and inconvenience,

What does all this mean?

Evidently it suggests that Speaker's Forum is improperly
managed and orgai Is procedures and policies must
be put under review by the Student Association (0

Clear the record

To the Editor:

The Jead story of the ASP on Friday, October 21, con:
cerned a suit filed by profesor Yu-Shih Chen. While the
reporter did @ good job in describing a complex situation,
the story Was inaccurate in some respects and 1 want to
clarify the record,

First, the suit filed by Professor Chen is against SUNY:
Chancellor Wharton, not against the State University of
New York at Albany. It arises from an extensive review
which was completed in June of this year of all of the facts
in her case for reappointment, at the end of which the
Chancellor found against Professor Chen.

In order to make clear why this hearing took place, it is
necessary to trace briefly the chronology of this case. Pro-
fessor Chen's contract with the University was non-
renewed in July of 1981. She grieved this decision on the
basis of alleged procedural irregularities and inappropriate
criteria, Those issues were reviewed by a hearing officer on
the campus in September, 1981, and denied, A second ap:
peal was taken at the level of SUNY Central and the hear-
ing officer there rejected her appeal in January, 1982, A
third appeal was taken by Dr. Chen to the Governor's Of
fice of Employee Relation and, after a substantial review of
the entire case, that appeal was denied in July, 1982, with
the finding that *..the grievant was treated in a more than
fair manner by the campus. ILis this reviewer's belief, based
on the whole record before him, which was extensively
reviewed both on and off campus, that at best the allega
tions surrounding this grievance are founded only on un:
supported rumors,”

In order to bring finality to this matter which had now
gone on for more than a year, an agreement was reached
between the Governor's Office of Employee Relations and
Dr, Chen that Chancellor Wharton would establish a
review committee of three persons and they would provide
& recommendation to him for his decision, It was further
agreed between the parties that his would be the final
disposition of the case, without futher appeal, The commit-
{ee submitted its recommendation sustaining the campus
decision and on June 13, 1983, the Chancellor accepted that
recommendation, Dr. Chen is now suing the Chancellor to
review the final action.

I believe itis important that the record be clear that this is
Hot @ new issue and that Dr, Chen's allegations have been
reviewed several times at length, The matter is now before a
court where it will receive appropriate consideration.

Wrote a lelter to the ASP pertaining to this same problem.
It obviously needs repeating. Although 1 feel that Ms.

best. 1 propose a solution that solves the problem just as

My proposal is a simple one. All students will board the

When the Wellington Bus arrives at Draper, it will no

Thus, all Wellington students can board at Draper and con

False accusations

To the Editor:

1 fead with great amusement the letter in the ASP titled
“Rule violations." Several points in this letter need to be
clarified in order to calm some of the tensions on Alumni
Quad, Ay a former resident of Waterbury Hall and former
Central Council representative, 1 find it very unfortunate
that the elections on Alumni were (urned into a “general
Circus!” ay Mr, Wilson refers to it in his fetter.

In Mr, Wilsons second paragraph, he mentions he was
quite appalled that 1 had endorsed Mr. Sinatra for the Cen:
iral Counell seat on Aluimni, Mr, Wilson feels that 1 was
not fair to the other candidates and that It was my "hist
ditch effort to secure a position for a friend’. Mr, Wilson
should) wake up and take @ good look at the real world
Everyday, elected officials express thelr views on different
candidates and people think nothing of it. In fact, 1 think if
Mr, Wilson wants to take issue With my endorsing can-
he should question his own endorsement and cam:
igning for a candidates in the past election, It is my
derstanding that Mr. Wilson was elected to serve this
Year ay Alumni Quad Board Secretary so 1 think if Mr.
Wilson feels very strongly on endorsements, He shoutd
practice what he preaches.

Another point here is the fact that because Mr, Wilson
has considered my endorsement as a tule violation, many
students on Alumni think that 1 have disobeyed Student
Association policy, First of all, there isn't any policy on en:
dorsements, There is such @ thing inthe United States com:
monly referred to as “Freedom of Choice,’ I think Mr
Wilson needs an Intro 10 Political Science course (I recom
mend Professor Miroff) in order to brush up on his junior
varsity political thinking.

The oiher false rumor that Mr, Wilson took the liberty! 10
start was the fact that Iidid ot endorse other candidates for
Central Council, In fact, I supported candidates on Alum:
‘ni, Colonial, Indian, and Off Campus, 1 felt these people
were the most qualified for the positions due to their past
experience with Student Association

Addressing Mr, Wilson's other accusations seem almost
{4 Waste of time at this point, His letter, up to this point, is
marred by inaccuracies and false rumors that he ean not
back up. I haye to question his statements concerning the
lection results when, in fact, 1 know that the Election Con
inissioner Tom Busby: did’ not know the results. until
TdSp.m. (well after Mrs Wilson's 7:00 rumor.) If Mr
Wilson would have checked with Student Association, he
would have discovered that Central Council chair Bob
Helbock had 10 call all of the new council members 10
notity them of a special meeting on Wednesday night, He
ewan this at 8:00p.n. and Alumni (beginning with A")
came fitst (0 call an Bobs list so Me, Sinatra way aware oF
his vietory at about 8:04p.m, Ibis unfortunate that this had
10 happen but it was important for us to notify the new
inembers of thelr first meeting,

1 think it Js sad commentary that Mr. Wilson feels my
only area of judgement on candidates is friendship. 1 will
not deny that this is not given consideration, but Lhaye to
say that 1 look for experience, Mr. Sinatra is one of the bes!
people to represent Alumni Quad, His experience includes

Student Action committee, Stipend Policy Committee and
‘Right the Hike!” Rally Coordinator which I felt made him
the best candidates for the position,

Tom Busby did one of the best jobs on this election, Un-
fortunately, the Alumni elections will be run again due to a

problem with the placement of the booth on the Alden side
Of the cafeteria, 1am hoping that this election will be run
without many of Mr. Wilson's false accusations, It would
benefit all those students on Alumni Quad who care,

NBC News said British troops
also were involved.

There was no confirmation of
either of these reports,

The reports came after a con-
tingent of $0 U.S. Marines was'seen
leaving Monday afternoon in
helicopters from the nearby Carri-
bean island of Barbados and
heading in the direction of
Grenada,

A U.S, Embassy official in Bar-
bados would not say where the
Marines were headed but said it was
possible they would be used to help
evacuate Americans in Grenada
who wished to leave because of the
political turmoil there,

‘A Pentagon spokesperson, Army
Sgt, Ray Kopaniasz, said "We've
heard the reports, but we can't con
firm it.”

Radio Free Grenada had been
transmitting throughout the night
but it suddenly went off the air
without signing off at about 6:16
a.m,

An Associated Press reporter and
others saw a U.S, Navy transport
plane land at Grantley Adams In-
ternational Airport at Bridgetown,
Barbados’ capital, on Monday,
About 50 Marines stepped off the
plane and boarded two Sea King
transport helicopters and a Marine
Huey gunship,

Maurice Bishop in the climax of a.
power struggle over how the Marx-

tion of 110,000 people,

The new regime frustrated plans

of American diplomats in

Following the typical Reagan
doctrine, said Banklini, the U.S
decided that before the Gemayel
regime should negotiate with other
factions, it needed strength. Once

Baaklin}, “which sees Khomeini as

He said he was sure that this
group, known as the “Party of

but whether they had been involved
in this incident, he wasn't sure.

He sald the bombing was

But House Speaker Thomas P.
O'Neill said Congress is ‘going to
have a complete review of why
we're there and whether it is wor-
thwhile to keep our boys there for
diplomatic reasons."

Two options were reported under
consideration in Washington for
bolstering the Marines’ position:
stationing the Marines on offshore
ships when they are not on duty, or
expanding the territory controlled
by the Marines around Beirut

World governments — from
Tunisia, to Belgium, to Sudan, to
West Germany -- deplored the
bloody bombings.

French President Francois Mit
terand, returning to Paris after a
Visit to Beirut, said that France “re-
mains and will remain faithful to its
engagement in Lebanon."

Tran and Syria rejected U.S. sug

behind the twin terror bombings,

Students willingly adapt to ‘‘drier’’ campuses

(CPS) This fall's experiments in
clamping down on student drinking
— experiments performed almost
simultaneously by a huge number
of schools now — have inspired a
series of tough new rules on student
behavior, but an initial check with
colleges across the country indicates
students are willingly adapting to
their drier campuses.

“We didn't have the ‘beer
suckers’ that have always been
around before," Mike Jewell, a
member of the University of Ken-
tucky’s Phi Delta Theta house,
observes gratefully. His house and
all the other Kentucky fraternities
agreed to hold dry rushes for the
first time ever this fall,

Bar owners near the University of
Oklahoma campus arranged to ac
comodate a crowd of $000 students
at a rally to protest the state's new
21-year-old legal drinking age Jaw,
but only 150 students showed up.

Dry rushes and parties elsewhere
unfolded without controversy. ‘I
think (the fraternities) are finding it

Tom gets three-year contract

Los Angeles
(AP) Tommy Lasorda says "1983

“Our policy was not set in ce-

to a mutitiyear contract for the
manager. "Tommy's a special, very

Men harriers capture third in Capital Districts

(ASP) Surprised by a much improved RPI
team and running .at much less than full
strength, the Albany State men's cross-
country team finished third In the 1983
Capital District Championships held on
Albany's $.05-mile course last Saturday,
Division I Siena College took first with the
low score of 28 points, RPI was second with
47 points. Albany got third with 56 points,
and Union totaled 106 points.

In contrast to last year's relatively
pedestrian pace, this year's ‘Capitaland
Classic!” was a very fast race from start to
finish. Dane runners led) for the first half
mile, but after that, Siena's front runners
took over and set the pace all the way (0 the
line, The leaders? mile splits were the fastest
on the Albany course this year: one mile,
4:57; {wo miles, 10:05; three miles, 15:10,
Said Dane captain Chris Callact, "We were
‘ut fast, but somewhere around the three:
mile mark Dan Harteau (Siena) tossed in a
sub-five minute mile and that was that.

Harteau and teammate Dom Cotose, who
was credited with the win for scoring pur-
poses, Finished together and were clocked at
25:51.2, RPI's first man, Steve Shattil was
the only other runner who could hang onto
the Siena duo, His time of 25:54 gave him
third place with room to spare,

‘The Danes! top runners were surprised by
the pace of the middle mifes, but ran with the
competition and kept it close, This effort
produced many of the season's best in-
dividual marks as five of Albany’s top six
runners ran best ever times on thelr home
course,

Conspicuous among these was sophomore
Tan Clements, whose time of 26:18 slashed
his personal best record by a full 36 seconds.
That finish placed Clements sixth overall and
first for Albany, as well as moving his name
up among those of the all-time top twenty
finishes on the home course, Unfortunately,
Clements was not able to catch RFI's number
two runner, Scott LeMay, who finished fifth

McGill up there with fan, but he was forced
tosit this one out'because ofa chest cold and,
‘Of course, that hurt us, Everybody else ran it
hhard,"*

These others included Callaci himself. The
Junior ran consistent splits to finish a close
eighth in 26:23 and bettered his best-ever
mark by forty seconds, Said Clements,
“Chris has been very consistent all along, I'm
not surprised he ran so well and 1 dare say he
hasn't peaked yet,"

The other outstanding Dane performance
‘came from sophomore Chuck Bronner Whose
quick time of 26:36 lowered his best by 47
seconds, The effort earned Bronner eleventh
place overall right behind RPI’s third
finisher,

Looking (0 get back on his mid-season
pace, Juntor Captain Jim Erwin ran 26:49,
close to his best time on the Albany course,
but suffered the same fate that Bronner did.
As Albany's fourth man, Erwin finished one
place behind RPls fourth runner. The pat-
tern repeated farther back where junior Tom
Kacandes, the Danes? fifth runner, ran 27:27
and broke his besteever mark by eight
seconds, but still finished behind RPI’s fifth
man

Colose and Harteau strung out the race
early enough so that the Siena-Atbany con-
{est was never in question, but the idea of
having lost the struggle with RPI formed
slowly in the tired minds of the Albany run-
hers after the race, Said Head Coach Bob
Munsey, “RPI ran exceptionally well and
they Just beat us head to head,”

Last year the Engineers beat the Danes by
only one point. Explained Bronner, ‘We
figured that since we had (mproved we would
beat them.'’ Kacandes added,"#A bunch of
our guys had super races, but at the same
time RPI is an improved team and they had
ne of their best races all season. I talked to
Scott LeMay, RPI’s number two, after the
race, and he was surprised at how. well they
ran, $0 1 guess we picked the wrong day to
run them." An anonymous epigram written

Men booters impressive in 2-0 win over Vassar

By Mark Levine
SPORTS EDITOR

Tt was the kind of game that Albany Head
Coach Bill Schieffelin had been expecting of
his team for a long time. Maybe even all year,

Saturday afternoon on University Field,
the Albany State men's soccer team defeated
Vassar College, 2-0. More importantly, the
Danes put together 90 minutes of very solid
soccer for one of the few times this year.

The offense clicked for two second half
goals, But for the first time in several games
they created numerous scoring opportunities.
The defense, including goaltender Tom Mer-
fitt, kept Vassar in check and chalked up
Albany's fourth shutout on the season, “It
was,"" Schieffelin said, "the best we've look-
ed in a very long time,"”

Second half goals by forward Tihan
Presbie (his seventh) and midfielder Jeff
Hackett (his fourth) sparked the Albany of-
fense, as the Danes were able (0 score mo
than one goal for the first time since a 3-1 win
over Brockport October 1, That span covered
five games.

Presbie's goal came with his back to the
net from a very tough angle, He turned and
fired a shot inside the near post for his team
leading seventh of the year and a 1-0 Albany
Jead

‘A few minutes later, Hackett scored what
Schieffelin termed "probably the nivest goal
of the year." Forward John Shields took a
pass in the middle of the field and Micked tt
with his heel to Hackett, who put a shot into
the lower left hand corner for his fourth goal
of 1983.

Although the Albany offense was
dangerous virtually the entire game, credit
must also go to Merritt and the defense,

which turned Vassar away on a couple of
close chances in the first half when the game
was still scoreless,

Merritt made one diving save to his right
on a shot from 35 yards out, and made a sen-
sational save a few minutes later, diving to
his left and tipping a shot away that was
headed for the lower right hand corner.

“Tommy played his best game all year,'?
Schieffelin said, ‘He was called on to make a
couple of trying saves in the first half, and he
responded. He was coming off his line and
being very aggressive, I think his being ag-
gressive intimidated some of their players in-
to missing their shots."*

The win upped Albany's record to 5-7 on
the year. However, despite not qualifying for
the SUNYAC Playoffs and not reaching the
500 mark for the second straight year, things
are beginning to look up for Schieffelin and
his team

For one thing, this years’ group consists of
only three seniors who will not return for
1984, although they are an integral part’ of
this year's squad, Defenders Mike Miller,
Bob Garrett and Matt McSherry will con:
clude their Albany careers in the season finale
against RPI Wednesday afternoon,

In addition, All-American forward Jerry
Isaacs and AllKSUNYAC forward Terry
chus look like they will be returning to the
Danes next year, according to Schieffelin

is and Bacchus, who formed the crux of
the Albany offense last year, were unable to
play this year due to personal reasons.

“ILlooks like Jerry and Terry will be back

By Mark Wilgard

STAFF WRITE!

Moments before the Albany state women’s
soccer team took the field against the Platt-
sburgh Cardinals Friday afternoon, Albany
Head Coach Amy Kidder had to make up her
mind on the starting goaltender, This was the
biggest game of the year, as the winner would
host the SUNYAC championship game. Her
two net-minders, Tracy Knoul and Cathy
Russo, were playing extremely well coming
into the game. Both had a 1,50 goals against
average, and they had recorded seven
shutouts between them. Kidder went with
Russo, and her intuition paid off,

"Thad a gut feeling," Kidder said about
her choice. "We needed her in the net." And
Russo didn't let her teammates down, In
recording her fifth shutout of the season,
Russo had 12 saves and led the Danes to an
ever so important 2-0 victory. The win
enables the Danes to host the SUNYAC
championship game Saturday at 1:00 pm.

Albany was also led by stopper back Dana
Stam, who opened up the scoring at 30:08 of
the first half, Stam charged up an open area
right in the middle of the field and put in her
first goal of the season between the goal
keeper and the post.

“It was a beauiful goal," commented Kid-
der. “It was very nice for her to score, as
she's a defensive player and doesn’t get many
opportunities,"”

Stam was also instrumental in helping
Albany control the big play person on Platt-

sburgh, Darlene Levielle. Kidder told her
team ‘to make sure Leveille didn’t pass the
bull." By keying so much on Leveille,
Albany forced the Cardinals into many off-
side infractions

The Danes insured their victory when Kim
Kosalek put in a high lofting shot from mid-
field at 44:12 of the second half. For
Kosalek, it was her fourth goal this year.

Kidder was happy with her team’s perfor.
mance. “It was a Very solid win. We shut off
alot of their angles effectively."*

The Danes were now 6-6-1 and they had a
chance to pull back over the .500 level as th
headed out to Vermont for a game against
Castleton.

‘The Danes only brought eleven players for
Saturday's game, But it hardly mattered, as
the women booters capped off their im
pressive weekend with a 5-0 thrashing of
Castleton, Kidder sald, They were a young
team, and not very skilled. We are also
young, but we've jelled throughout this
season.”” Albany dominated play from the
very opening whistle. They outshot Castleton
57 to $ and forced their goalkeeper to come
up with 31 saves, Knauil had an easy time of it
in Albany's net, as she recorded her fourth
shutout of 1983

Lisa Lum and Kerry Young fed the Dane
ltack with two goals apiece, Stam tallied the
other Albany goal, The score was only 2-0 at
halftime, and Kidder told her team ‘to shoot
some balls low and wide."’ The reason for
this, Kidder explained, “was to offset the

The president said the foremost mission of
the American forces was to guarantee the
safely of U,S, citizens, “The nightmare of
our hostages in Iran must never be

Reagan also yowed that those responsible

But he declared the invasion of Grenada a
“brilliant operation,”” that thwarted a
takeover of the Caribbean outpost by the
Castro government.

Reagan said the United States had initially
assumed that several hundred Cubans work-
ing on an airport runway on the southern
part of the island could be military reservists.

“As it turned out, the number was much
larger and they were a military force,"
Reagan sald, ‘‘Six hundred have been taken
prisoner and we have discovered a complete

About 3,000 American forces have landed
on the island since a pre-dawn invasion Tues-

day. ‘It is our intention to get our men out as
soon as possible," the president said, But he
didn’t mention a timetable.

Reagan sald the operation is ‘‘now in the

In a meeting that lasted more than six

action they would take

He said that they would definitely demand
