SPORTS EDITOR
Even during last years’ dismal 3-7
season, the Albany State football team
were never so thoroughly dominated as
they were in last Saturday's 39-0 loss to
Division II Southern Connecticut played
on University Field.
Tm fact, last week's game marked the se-
cond worst beating the Danes have receiv-
ed.in the club's 11 years of existence — the
worst one coming in 1979 against Ithaca
when the Danes were shellacked 46-6,
“We haven't been beaten like this in a
Jong time," said Coach Bob Ford in the
lockerroom after the game had come to a
merciful end.
With the Homecoming-game set for
tomorrow at 1:00 p.m, against the Cor-
tland Red Dragons, the Danes find
themselves below the .500 mark for the
first time this season at 2-3, vying to erase
last Saturday’s disaster from their collec-
tive memories,
“We can't look back,”” said freshman
quarterback Jeff Russell, who was sacked
16 times before being replaced late in the
third quarter. ‘Southern Connecticut is in
the past. We're now looking to beat
Cortland,”
For the Great Danes to defeat the 3-2
Red Dragons, their impotent offense is go-
ing to have to be revived, especially the of-
fensive line, Against the Division II Owls,
the Danes managed a pitiful 16 net yards
rushing and 41 yards pass
led by ‘their 220 pound lineman Bob Gilbride.

‘Tuesday's 8-1 loss to the University of Vermont by the
Albany men’s tennis team has not changed the team’s
outlook for today’s and tomorrow’s SUNYACs Tourna-
ment in Rochester.
As team captain Jay Eisenberg said,‘‘We're a good
team arid they're (U of Vermont) a good team, They won.
We were disappointed, but the loss is not going to change
our attitude going into the SUNYACS."” The Danes have
won the tournament the last five years.
The format of SUNYACS is similar to the Great Dane
Classic. All the players play each other with every victor
getting a point for the team, At the end there are six in-
dividual player champions and three doubles champions,
‘The toughest competition will come from the Universi-
ty of Buffalo, who took second last year and Bingham-
ton, who took third last year,
Coach Lewis considers the SUNYACS “a real tough
test for us, Buffalo has two very strong players at first
and second singles, but doesn’t have the balance, whereas
Binghamton is a very balanced team, Their first two
players are not outstanding, but they have depth like us.
Personally 1 think Binghamton will be tough to beat.
We're not a shoe-in, We're the team to beat based on our
past record, We really dominated the last two years, but
not this year.’”
Albany has two defending champions: Jay Eisenberg,
who won at fifth singles and Mark Sanders at sixth
singles. As for defending his championship, Eisenberg
said, ‘My chances are good, If I play well I can’t ask for
more and hopefully that will be enough to win.””
Playing first and second singles for Buffalo are two ex-
cellent players, At number one is Paul Tringali, who lost
in the finals last year to Albany's Dave Ulrich, and at
number two is Mike White who beat Tom Schmitz in last
year’s championship.
Dave Grossman, first singles player, said, ‘The
toughest competition for me will be Buffalo. He (Tr-
ingali) was in the finals the Ist two years, Tringali will
probably be seeded one and I'll be two."
‘The Dane lineup might see some changes at fifth and
sixth singles where either Mitch Gerber, Mark Sanders or
Dave Zobler will compete. Gerber and Sanders haven't
been playing that well lately. Said Lewis, ‘‘Zobler is a
good match player. I’ve got a lot of confidence in him.”
As for Albany's doubles teams Lewis said, ‘‘I have a
lot of confidence in them. The tournament may be won in
doubles.”*
Grossman is looking forward to the tournament. ‘I'd
to win it my third and final year on the team, It'll
take a total team effort for us to win.”
Teammate Gerber added, “We're favored going in,
We're the team to beat,"”
In Tuesday's match against the University of Vermont,
Albany’s only victory in the 8-1 loss was by the second
doubles team of Eisenberg and Mike Dermansky. They
beat Vermont's Newman and Reum duo 8-5 in a pro set,
since the match was already clinched by Vermont.
“I expected a difficult match," said Lewis. ‘*We battl-
ed them, although I was a little disappointed with the
score, Vermont is an excellent team, I think the match
will serve as a good tuneup for the SUNYACs."”
At first singles, Mike Duffy defeated Albany's Dave
Grossman 6-1, 3, 6-1, Duffy was first singles at Ver-
‘mont last fall, siting out in the spring. Duffy always looks
forward to his matches with Grossman,
“Dave really served well,"” said Duffy. ‘‘He’s really

Approximately 15 students spent two hours Friday

‘DAVID IBAAC UPS,
—Mario Cuomo
Cuomo praises nuclear freeze advocates
By James O'Sullivan
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
In a subdued but passionate speech
Saturday afternoon, New York Governor
Mario Cuomo called for a nuclear freeze
as a Viable alternative to the escalating
arms race facing the U.S.
“1 am not an expert on the facts of the
arms race — on throw weights, multiple
re-entry vehicles, megatonnage,"” Cuomo
said, Explaining that he spoke as a father
of five and as governor of New York, he
said, ‘It is in these capacities that I am re-
quired to consider the realities of the arms
race,"” said ‘the Governor; speaking. in
Albany High School at a conference entit!-
ed “Reducing the Risk: Questions and
Answers to the Arms Race.”
The event was sponsored in part by the
SUNYA Chapter of the New York Public
Interest Research Group (NY PIRG).
‘The truth is the human mind retreats
from the facts of nuclear war," Cuomo
said, asserting that after a nuclear war
there, would be, in the, U.S, alone, at least
100 million casualties, cities would, be
evaporated, and the water, food, and
Earth would all be polluted.
“We still have trouble comprehending
Nagasaki and Hiroshima — cities
destroyed by nuclear weapons primitive
and crude compared to the bombs that na-
tions (now) have primed and ready and
pointed at one another,’’ he declared.
“Nuclear war,” Cuomo said, ‘is total
war — all of us know that. Attempts to
stick a modifier before it, to claim that we
can have limited nuclear war or surgical
nuclear strikes fool no one."”
To those who ridicule the nuclear freeze
effort, the Governor countéred, ‘We can
be simple without being simplistic."”
“Just start with the basics of the entire
ce,”’ he told the audience of about
¢ and the Soviet Union are con-
suming increasingly large parts of our
resources to prepare for a war that we dare
not fight.’”
“Something has to die inside of us to
tolerate this madness," Cuomo said.
“Involvement in the nuclear freeze
movement is, I believe, the simplest form
of moral approbation," he said as ap-
plause broke out. “What i says is that life
is better than death,’*
Cuomo pointed to the recent summit |
between, President Ronald, Reagan and
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko
as evidence of the growing popoularity of
“the freeze.
“The Freeze," a proposal that both the
U.S. and the Soviets stop the production
and deployment of any further nuclear
weapons, is an issue that cuts across all
divisions, Cuomo said.

300 women ‘Take Back the Night’ in Albany
By Melissa Edmunds
Enjoying the safety that comes in
fumbers, more that 300 women walked
through some of the more dangerous areas
in Albany Saturday night during a march
and rally to “Take Back the Night."”
The event, organized in an effort to
strike back at violence against women, was
a symbolic demonstration of women’s
soliderity, according to one of the event's
organizers, Judith Condo, of the Albany
County Rape Crisis Center.
About 25 men attended the rally, but
were not permitted to participate in the
march which began at 8:00. The women
marched up State Street, through part of
Washington Park, up Western Avenue,
across Lake Street to Central Avenue, and
back to the Capito! steps.
Rape was the central crime under pro-
test, not only Condo said, because it is
representative of the worst violence that
can be done to a woman, but because the
BI reports that it is the fastest growing
crime in the United States. She added that
in the Capital District alone, 288 rapes
were reported last year and that this year
half that number had already been
reported by April.
The evening opened with an hour long
rally on the steps of the Capito! Building in
which a series of speakers and a few per-
formers provided information and inspira-
tion for the upcoming march, as the night
srew darker,
Albany’ County Executive James Coyne
issued a proclamation declaring the weeek
of October 8th to the 14th as rape preven-
tion week, a week to be set aside for public
programs,
Karla DiGirolomo, Executive Director
of the NYS commission on Domestic
Violence, pointed out that this week was
also Domestic Violence Awareness week.
This is fitting, she said, because at this
time there are no laws against m:

in New York State, so a wife has no pro-
tection from her husband in the case of

DiGirolomo also pointed out that the
prevailing societal myths about rape are
symptoms of the larger social problem that
keeps women in an obedient and sub-
missive position, maintaining an unjust
social order and an unfair economy.
She demanded a charge in the attitudes

which drew a crowd of one million people,
the Governor said, “'Yuppies and nuns and
investment bankers and students and con~
struction workers and veterans all marched
in support of the simple proposition that
the weapons we haye now are already
enough.”
In addition to the moral issue, Cuomo
said he seeks an end to the arms race for a
second reason, ‘an argument based on
economic common sense and one that con-
cerns one as governor:"?
He estimated that in five years, a freeze
would save the U.S. $98 billion, and by the
year 2,000 $400 billion,
“Think of the schools we could build,
think of the roads and the housing, think
of the homeless people who could be
sheltered .,. think of the tax cuts,"” said the
Governor.
“Ask (Albany) Mayor Tom Whalen
what he could do in Albany.with just a'tiny
fraction of that money," Cuomo said,
“The real hope for America isn’t in the
MX or the B-1 or a ‘Star Wars' defense,
in this room and in rooms

“Now,” Cuomo concluded, ‘it's time
to fulfill an ancient blessing: Blessed be the
Bence makers, for they shall be called the
children of God."

Cincinatti, OH.
(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) Nearly one-
third of all female college students are sex-

While SUNYA's S/U grading system
has passed the test of time by existing for
‘over a decade in it’s present form, student
leaders and’ administration officials are
still exploring ways of improving it,
Mike Miller, Chair of Central Council's
Academic Affairs committee plans to pro-
pose a bill to the Undergraduate Academic
Council (UAC) of the University Senate
that weould keep the records of student's
requests for S/U grading strictly between
the registrar and the student,
Presently, faculty members access to a
list of which students in their classes have
opted for S/U grading, Miller said. ‘‘A
faculty member may consciously or un-
consciously discriminate against those
students, even if it’s by not giving a full
commentary when grading papers or ex-
ams,"” he explained,
Miller said his committee is,working on
several specific cases involving possible

Pass/fail grading rejected on other campuses
Pullman, WA.
(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) Pass/fail
grading systems have failed, and students
who have a chance to use them generally
reject them, according to a survey of over
1600 colleges using the pass/fail system.
Dr. C, Jams Quann, registrar at
Washington State University and author
of the survey, said students do worse when
they're given pass/fail grades instead of
letter grades
“Many institutions are beginning to
realize students perform on a lower level
with pass/fail systems," he says.
“Students come to class late, skip classes,
don't, do assignments and hold other
students back, Performance is below par
in many cases.
Quann sees the system as a vestige of the
more experimental sixties and early
seventies,
Even so, “only a small percentage of
schools that initiated pass/fail options
abandoned them altogether on the theory
that if you give the students something, it
hurts to take it away,’’ Quann added.
Northwest Missouri’ State University,
for example, changed its pass/fail system
in 1979, letting students use it in a max-
imum of nine credit hours.

“Students like this environment and the
freedom to test things more than under a
traditional system,” she claims. “‘Faculty
is committed (to it) despite the enormous
task of written evaluations."
Quann said he believes more schools are
moving away from pass/fail systems,

change from time to time,

Hamilton said he is not aware of the cases,
but added, “I can only beleive students
when they say that this (s their experience,
and if it is,” then records of who is taking
‘@ course S/U ‘should be between the
registrar and the student.”
The S/U (satisfactory, unsatisfactory),
or ‘pass/fail” grading system was
adopted by the University in 1969, when
all freshman took a full year of courses
S/U. That was expanded in 1970 to include
both freshman and sophomore years, and
lasted until 1973, when students began to
have difficulty gaining admissions, first to
medical school, and then to other profes-
sional schools, according to Associate
Dean for Undergraduate Studies, Leonard
Lapinski,
By 1974 the University’s present policy
of allowing 15 S/U graded credits toward
an undergraduate degree was established,
Of those 15 credits, a maximum of six
credits may be in a students major or
minor or combination,
Last spring, Hamilton proposed a bill to
the UAC to eliminate student’s option of
six S/U graded credits in their major. He
said, ‘The rationale for pass/fail gocs

explore new subjects if they will be in com-

However, Hamilton stated, “You are not

may now make an exception to the S/U
grading policy and require a student ma-
joring in that subject to take a specific
‘course A-E, with the approval of the Cur-
riculum Committee of the UAC as a result
of Hamilton’ bill.
Miller said his committee is studying the

The new chair of the African
and Afro-American Studies
department, Vivian Gordon, said
she believes her department can
help end racial discrimination.
‘The courses have traditionally
attracted mostly Black students,
and Gordon wants to make them
more appealling to other
students. “I’m not going to
design courses to attract white
students,”’ she said, ‘*(but) by in-
creasing the quality of courses to
compete with their liberal arts at
counterparts I hope to attract
serious students."
“By demanding academic
rigor,"” said Gordon, “students
will see that I’m about serious
business.””
Gordon, a former sociology
professor and Afro-American
Studies chair at the University of
Virginia has some new ideas in
store for the department's
curriculum.
“Black studies is not just for
Blacks,” she said, “If we are go-
ing to have cultural pluralism,
people from different cultures
must know about each other.”
“People in professions like
teachers, doctors and lawyers will

they understand the people that

education,” said Gordon, ‘‘Afro-

movements. The general attitude
about this program has come out
of its history of turmoil."”

there is a change of leadership,”
said John Webb, dean of the Col-

Student reps. ‘ecstatic’ over court ruling on voting
Student leaders are ‘‘ecstatic’’ over a
U.S, District Court’s ruling last Wednes-
day that gave New York State students the
right to vote in their college communities.
Judge Neal P. McCurn threw out parts
of the state’s constitution and élection law
in his ruling on Auerbach vs. Kinley.
“SA and SASU are basicaly ecstatic,”
said Student Association of the State
University Executive Vice President Stuart
Friedman. ‘“‘SASU has done a lot of
litigating,” said Friedman, “We put a lot
of time, money and effort into this," he
said, ‘‘and I feel it’s a positive step for-
ward for student rights."”
New York Public Interest Research
Group Chair Karen McMahon said the
decision ‘was a tremendous victory for
student rights,” and called it, ‘'the most
important ruling for N.Y. State students
since the passing of the 26th amendment,””
which lowered the voting age to 18.
SUNYA students won a preliminary in-
junction in October 1980, allowing them
the right to vote in Albany. The judge's
decision last week, permanently ensures
that all New York State college students
can vote in their campus communities.

SUNYA put out its welcome mat last weekend for parents, area residents and prospec-

‘The comfortable fall weather drew most visitors to the outdoor activities, leaving the
information tables and indoor attractions sparsely attended. More than 2,000 fans flock-

over SUNY Cortland.
‘The weekend's activities were presented to acquaint parents and the community more
closely with the University and what it offers to its students, and nearby residents.

Vice-President of Student Affairs Frank Pogue said that in the last three years the at-

For those who were more interested in enjoying the beautiful weather and getting a

Economics profs see Reaganomics as short fad
(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) Though star-
ting their fourth school year since the ad-
vent of ‘Reaganonmics,”’ college
economics departments still aren’t taking
supply-side economics very seriously.
“‘Supply side is a political issue,” claim-
ip , head of Col-
umbia University's economics department.
Cagan, like many of the professors in-
terviewed for this article, said he believes,
“It will be gone in a few years.”
But some supply-side proponents,
notably former Southern Cal professor
Arthur Laffer, contend the theory is in fact
making headway in college classrooms.
“Is being taught everywhere,” Laffer
said ‘and has become the basic precept of
the (economics) professional journals."”
Laffer was one of the first advocates of
supply-side theory, which forecasts that
tax cuts -- not the “pump priming’’ of
Keynesian economics -- would best
stimulate the econom;
Laffer’s ideas attracted a small coterie
of followers, including a Wall Street Jour-
nal editorialist_ named Jude Wanniski.
Wanniski's writings eventually attracted
converts like Ronald Reagan, Sen. William
Roth and Rep. Jack Kemp.
All, of course, eventually helped mold
America’s current supply-side economic
policy. Despite evidence the policy has
helped generate record levels of economic
growth, many campus econ departments
haven't adjusted their courses.
“Professors have the luxury of being
able to teach obsolete theories longer than
government and business can adhere to
them at the risk of losing money,”” Wan-
niski scoffed,
‘The reason it's not taught is that it’s not
a very good theory, others counter.
The recent economic recovery is explain-
ed better by traditional economic theory
than by supply-side theory, said Professor
Michael Veseth, an economist at the
University of Puget Sound in Tacoma,
Wa.
“The big spending cuts, world recession,
and large structural deficits that caused the
recovery have more to do
fashioned Keynesian pump-prii
with supply-side economics,"" he i
Keynesian theory, hatched by British
economist John Maynard Keynes, has
been the basis of American economic
Policy since the 1930s, when President
Franklin Roosevelt employed it to try to
spark a recovery from the Great
Depression,
Keynes’ then-radical advice was to let
the government go into debt in order to get
money to inject into the economy, thus
stimulating consumer demand. With con-
sumer demand up, business would begin
producing goods and services again to
meet the demand.
When demand and government spen-
ding sparked inflation, Keynes advised the
government to reduce spending,
Until then, most schools taught
‘classical economics,"” which stressed in-
dividual choicemaking in a society tending
toward full employment, explains John
Sumansky of the Joint Council on
Economic Education.
“Studies of the overall economy and
Keynesian theory eventually didn’t burst
on the scene,” Sumansky said. “They
were forced on us by the Great Depression
and attempts to end it.””
Years after the theory became govern-
ment practice, college economics depart-
ments began teaching it, Since the publica-
tion of Prof. Paul Samuelson’s landmark
Keynesian textbook in the late forties,
Keynesian economics has been the stan-
dard emphasis in most departments.
“Colleges are not teaching supply-side
courses,"" asserted Vanderbilt economist
Professor John Siegfried. ‘If it’s taught,
it’s taught as part of another course.
Strong supply-siders were talking about it
in 1968, but it didn’t have a label.”
It's a very important idea,"” he conced-
ed. “But now there's a lot of attention in
the popular press. The increase (in em-
phasis) is not in academic areas.”
Wanniski attributed campuses’ reluc-
tance to teach supply-side theory on its
‘own to simple stuffiness. Tenured
‘economics professors have a vested career
interest in defending ‘‘outdated’’ Keyne-
sian theory.
Things will change as younger
economists successfully use supply-side
theory to predict the economy's perfor-
mance, Wanniski predicts.
“Supply siders,’” for example, “are the
only ones who predicted the current
economic boom without inflation, " he
asserted.
“Eventually schools recognize” who's
got the better track record, he said, ‘and
switch to supply side.’*
Because nearly all of the nation’s 65,000
economists are Keynesians, Wanniski said
he thinks it may take a generation for col-
lege economics departments to begin em-
phasising supply-side theory. a
Supply side theory gaining slow recognition at SUNYA
By Michelle Busher
STAPF WHITER
Despite the fact that Reaganomics, cur-
rently a hot topic, employs much of supply
side theory, not one class at SUNYA is
devoted entirely to this theory.
There is nothing new about Ronald
Reagan's supply side economics claims
Economics Department chair Pong S. Lee.
Supply side theory has been around for
a long time”, said Lee, “what is new is
been the major basis for
Lee said that supply-side theory does not
warrant a full semester course, because
“there is not enough to talk about”.
Supply side economic theory calls for
reduced corporate taxes to encourage in-
dustries to increase capital spending in
such areas as refitting industrial plants and
building new factories, explained Helen G.
Horowitz, Director of Undergraduate
Studies in Economics.
Reagan reduced control of industry",
said Horowitz, asserting ‘that's not supp-
ly side, that’s free market".
Horowitz said she teaches little or no
supply side economics in her classes.
“Professors”, explained Horowitz,
“follow a mandatory outline and are free
to supplement that outline with whatever
they prefer'’.
“Most of what I know about supply side
economics, I learned from following the
news”, said Doug Lankler, an economics
student at SUNYA.
“Supply side theory means different
things to different people’, said
Economics Professor Edward F. Renshaw.
“Supply side theory is a different
thing", said Renshaw, explaining that “‘ef-
forts to develop it got bogged down. 1
don't know if they will ever agree on it”,
he added that from a policy point of view
it is not yet clear that supply can be
manipulated to produce a healthy
economy.
“Generally economists have paid more
attention to product demand than supp-
ly”, said Renshaw. This could be because
the supply of goods is subject to fewer
fluctuations than consumer demand, he
added.
Renshaw said he spends a fair amount
of time teaching supply-side economics.
“Most classes spend a lot more time talk-
ing about consumer demand theory”, he
said.
“Professors are constrained as to what’s
in text books’, which tend to deal primari-
ly with economic demand, Renshaw add-
ed. Renshaw said he distributes additional
information in his classes, but said, ‘‘Sup-
ply side theory is (just) beginning to creep
into the books.”
“Most text books have something about
supply side theory,” said Horowitz, “if
only to refute it.
Lee said courses such as
macroeconomics, which give a general
understanding of economics, should be
covering supply side theory for at least two
weeks of each semester.
“Theories behind supply side economics
are still pretty crude,"’ said Renshaw, “It’s
kind of like blood-letting. It will get you
through a recession, but at the cost of los-
ing jobs,” he said. a

In addition to a complete list of the
spring 1985 courses, the booklet also it

Charities chosen
Telethon staff members decided Sun-
day night to devote their fund-raising
this year to the Albany Boy's Club and
to the Drakeland Daycare Center.
Co-chair of Telethon Eileen Shapiro
said Albany Boys Club was chosen
because it was in need of recreational
equipment and building supplies. The
Boy’s Club already provides a juvenile
delinquency program and hopes to start
a “‘latch-key program’? for children
whose parents work, and come home to
empty houses.
Co-chair of Telethon Eric Dorf said
that Drakeland Daycare Center of Ar-
bor Hill, a newly established day care
center especially for single parent
homes was chosen because it needs
cribs, toys, and shelves to get it started.
Telethon staff members based their
decision on whether organizations were
child-oriented, spent money in the
capital district and had had no previous
major contributions to their need, ac-
cording to Dorf, He added that
“everyone felt very strongly’’ about the
decision to contribute to the Albany
Boy’s Club.

A colony of the National Fraternity
of Alpha Epsilon Pi, to be known as
Alpha Nu, was started at SUNYA last
month with a record 53 pledges. Alpha
Epsilon Pi is recognized by SA and is
the first completely socially oriented
fraternity on campus. The fraternity
will hold its first rush next semester
when it will be accepting new pledges.
‘The current pledges will be travelling
to Syracuse University in November to
be initiated into the already established
Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter there.
Pledge master Andy Rothstein feels
that the fraternity will play a large part
in campus life. There will be many

Troy Music Hall this Friday night. Glass’ extraordinary music can be called struc-
P= Glass, noted American composer, brings his progressive ensemble to the
tural - simple 4-6 mote progressions which develop into ever-changing patterns
and layers of melody and rhythm.
Louis Lewis
Glass became known in 1975, when the Metropolitan Opera performed his five-hour
long Einstein on the Beach, Since then, he’s composed two other grand operas, music for
films, dance and theater. He was recently awarded a contract on the CBS Masterworks
label, which is reserved for top American composers. the last composer signed by
Masterworks was Aaron Copeland.
The following interview was conducted by phone. Mr. Glass was in Hotiston for the
‘American premier if his opera Akhnoken.
ASP:When you first began composing irr
‘your unique, non-narrative style, what is it
‘You were trying to bring out of music that
had not been brought out in such a way
before?
GLASS: At the time, the world of con
temporary music was monolithic, though it

then, WI
was a rejection of that
But the music is also a reflection of what
feel — it has a very direct and high level
of emotional content, Sometimes they
would say about music, “It’s better than it
sounds.” They would find something in
tellectually that wasn't there musically. 1
wanted a much more immediate reaction.
Today, though, things are beginning to
change — it's a much more varied world.
New music can be found from the fringes
of rock to the outer world of electronic
music
ASP: What have you gotten out of ex-
periencing jazz music over the years,
especially such composers as John Coltrane
and Ornette Coleman?
GLASS:Oh | just loved it; loved to listen
to it. Later on, when the ensemble was
formed, we began working with inter-
pretive music the way many of those jazz
groups do with creative music. We found
models for the way we work in the world
of jazz
The ensemble has been together for six-
teen years, mostly with the same people.
That's something you don’t find very much
in progressive music, that kind of creative
continuity. In that way it’s a lot like some
of the jazz groups — the Duke Ellington
Band and the Modern Jazz Quartet
ASP: Do you consider yourself to be a
religious person?
GLASS: No.
ASP: How would you account then for
what some people see as religious or devo
tional elements in your music?
GLASS: | believe that aesthetic and
religious qualities are not far away from
each other, Some composers aim for
specific religious goals in their music

The Many Facets Of Philip Glass
ASP: Then how do you explain the
ECTS om Tuesday: 13
paradox of working and being accepted in
Europe years before becoming a success in
this country?
GLASS: There are a few ways to look at
it, Americans have a certain’ self
consciousness, that ‘art comes from
Europe,’ That America is the mass-market
culture and Europe the breeding ground
for art and intellect
In a sense this is the case. Artistic condi
tions in Europe are preferred over those in
‘America, There is a certain reluctace in this
country to accept new and different art
forms and artists. It is a baseball and televi-
sion culture, So economically, it can be
tough here for new and experimental
artists ;
From the other side, the world is
facinated with America, We are loved and
hated, but, above all, we are scrutinized.
Europeans just can’t get enough of our
culture, They love discovering the new
and the different in.our culture, Since the
seventies, there has been a whole genera:
tion of European composers and musicians
who are taking off from the new music of
American's in the late sixties.
But this is really becoming a thing of the
past, from when people like myself and
Steve Reich were getting started
‘Americans are beginning to realize their
own condition, Today there is a great deal
of diversity in American music, and it’s
much easier for American artists to survive
and work in this country
‘ASP: What would life be like if, instead of
the 1001 Violins, we heard Philip Glass

ability to teach business students anything besides
business. — like ‘reading comprehension, basic com-
munication skills, and interpersonal relations.
‘The anthropology department is a perfect place to send
students who need a more humanistic touch in their
education, Cultural Anthropology is. a course that ex-
plores the diversity of the human condition. It’s the kind
‘of course that can open the minds of business students,
and stimulate them to think about life outside the world
" of management and marketing.
Think about it politically. Learning cultural an-
thropology, among other subjects, might prevent the cor-
porate leaders of tomorrow from becoming the ruthless,
profit-obsessive, exploitative barons who often dominate
the business world.
From this perspective, we must commend the Business
and Anihropology departments for joining in this cause
to humanize the world of business education.
. . .but at whose expense?
From the other side of the coin, Anthropology ma-
jors are really being hurt by this plan, Some have com-
plained that the course has degenerated from a serious
study of the human condition to something resembling a
museum tour geared towards the general public.
‘The professor who teaches the course admits to having
‘altered the readings and. lectures specifically to cater to
business students. Although this course is required for an-
thro, majors, they have been told they can somehow
make up for this lost education later on. More likely, they
will have to play catch-up in their more difficult 300 and
400 level courses. E
‘The Anthropology dept. has enjoyed an excellent
reputation and is highly rated. Will it be able to absorb
this invasion of business majors and still maintain these
high standards? It’s a small department, and it may have
to sacrifice some of its academic integrity to accom-
modate these changes. From the looks of this term’s ANT
200, that sacrifice has already begun.
Winaat it comes down to is that this university, with all
its good intentions, is putting the business school ahead
of everyone else. Maybe that accounts for the feeling that
allot of people come here to get degrees and jobs, but not
a méaningful education.
‘This is really a case of backwards priorities. Learning
about business should be the least important item on any
student’s agenda, Making money belongs as an after-
thought, an unfortunate side effect of ‘being human which
‘we haven't yet been able to cure. We give it too much im-
portance already.
We applaud the effort to give business majors the taste
of a real education, But this cannot be done at the ex-
pense of those who wish to learn for the sake of
knowledge and understanding, and not for the sake of
profit. o
Debates make Mondale the choice
Last Sunday morning 1 watched another repetetive
news story on the election, 1 saw the candidates debate
advisors debate one another on a talk show. I heard of
another poll and another poll; all reminding me that per-
sonality and image are all that seems to really matter in
this presidential race, Along with to many others, I have
felt desensitized, unable to find my once constant
political energy, and unable to get excited about the
Democratic party which I have always found the least in-
sufficient and often the more positive of parties.
Jonathan T.K. Cohen
So, while I watched the presidential debates, { expected
little, imagining beforehand that all I really wanted to sce
was how well each of them would perform. 1 assumed
that the president would, as usual, shine his way through,
and that-perhaps I might find a way to better appreciate
Mondale, But to my great surprise, I watched as Mondale
not only showed a greater grasp of the facts and issues but
in every way possible went on to thoroughly ‘out per-
form’? the accepted master of political ‘performance’?
But since Mondale is not the naturally dynamic speaker
nor the amiable personality of Mr, Reagan, his success re-
quired the clear enunciation of positions and principles
more impressionable than mere imagery. Unlike Reagan,
for Mondale to appear more attractive, he had to clearly
win on substance too. ,
From the start he put Reagan on the defensive. Along
with my company I was shocked to see the President fre-
quently lose his composure, On many questions, par-
ticularly after Mondale attacks, his voice became
unsteady as he lapsed or stuttered over his words. When it
came to Social Security and other social programs,
Reagan appeared increasingly uncomfortable, at times
almost portraying a sense of guilt. Once he went through
his familiar script, he struggled to directly explain why
many of his cuts were not harmful, Periodically he would
compose himself by retreating into his comman slogans
and cliches, but they lacked the grace and charm of his
typical press performances, While he appeared to look
weaker and older as the debate wore on, Mondale’s con-
fidence grew as he affirmed his positions in a clear and
firm voice. He frequently criticized the president for the
growing budget deficits along with cuts in Social Security,
Medicare, education and housing. As the give and take
continued, Reagan tried to shy away from many of his
more extreme positions regarding abortion and school
prayer, in addition to admitting that he could at some
point consider some form of tax increace if the deficits
failed to decrease. With regard to leadership questions,
Mondale was able to criticize the administrations failure
to provide sufficient security against terrorist attacks in
Lebanon, Even when Reagan had his chance to conclude
the evening with a powerful closing statement, he
floundered, at times evem pausing to concede that
perhaps some people are worse off,...that perhaps some
people have been hurt by his policies
‘Throughout the debate Mondale tried to remind us that
we must not forget the>values and concerns which far
transcend our pocketbooks. While some Americans may
be better off relative to what they have in the bank, com:
pared to four years ago, the overall quality and diversity
of American life has been increasingly ignored, somehow
relegated to and abstraction which this administation has
gradually brought out of the realm of political dialogue.
While Reagan has been successful with a vision of
patriotism: based onan established ‘tradition of collective
self interest, Mondale was effective in relating his specific
policy proposals to a vision based on human compas.
sion, fairness and quality. While we could all find it plea-
sant to have faith in a jovial, optimistic leader who claims
that all is being cared for, Mondale reminded us that
Reagans budget cuts are REAL, that the beautiful hous-
ing project which the President proudly had his picture
taken in front of, would not be there if his proposed cuts
went through, that the diversion of one trillion dollars for
space weapons will not make any of us safer, and that our
enviromental and educational quality cannot be cared for
with benign neglect and a smile,
So to my surprise, the debate turned out, not to be just
another micans to a cynical, objective analysis but a
reminder that there is a large and important choice in
this election,

Minorities important
To the Edit
This letter is in response to a letter to the Editor in the
October $, 1984 edition of the ASP. As a concerned stu-
dent and the Minority Affairs Coordinator for the Stu-
dent Association I thought that I must reply to the blatant
ignorance expressed in that letter.
Issues concerning minorities have been abandoned by
the ASP for years, Presently, since the ASP has been
printing columns that are of interest (o minority students,
they are deemed unnecessary and excessive.
There has suddenly been an urge of campus for the
right to freedom of speech. If we cannot express ourselves
in the ASP, then where is our freedom? I think the
students on our campus should just sit back and think
about how this freedom of speech is helping to show the
diversity of the SUNYA campus and hopefully showing
that SUNYA is changing from its old conservative views
to a more liberal attitude that is necessary in a
predominantly white and heterosexual institution,

Yellow journalism
To the Editor:
In the ASP's ‘More than Black and White” editorial,
our school newspaper brings a new example to the con-
cept of irresponsibility in journalism, The title is ap-
propriate, because the ASP does not look beyond their
black and white absolutes; moreover, what is most unner-
ving is that they failed to get their facts straight, or even
attempt to.
In the process, they defamed Ross Abelow and got the
facts about his appointment all wrong, If you check Cen-
tral Council minutes of last week, there is no bill with Mr.
Abelow’s name on it. Our noble newspaper also proceed-
ed to defame and misrepresent the Student Association
and the report of Internal Affairs committee, I know that
the author of this editorial was not present at the Central
Council meeting in question or at any meeting of the In-
ternal Affairs Committee. They didn't even have the

committee.
Why does our school’s main voice in print take as a
given that four white males cannot evaluate a black
women when they know neither the males or the woman
and didn't bother to try. Where is the evidence? The facts?
Or are these little trivialities not the ASP’s concern? How
can our school newspaper accuse Internal Affairs of
racism and discrimination and judge Laura Johnson
qualified when they did not report any of what happened
in her interview? It is this attitude of being wrong or being
right simply because of color that sets a dangerous prece-
dent for this University.
Unfortunately, this misinformation and defameation
in reporting is not an isolated occurance: When it comes
to Central Council, the ASP very rarely gets the facts
right or bothers to report them at all! Researching and in-
terview techniques must be taboo up in the ASP office.
The travesty of all this is that the paper refuses to ever ad-
mit that they might be wrong. If even the NY Times can
admit error, is it above our own school publication? I
hardly think so. In recent Central Council reports, you
would think the legislation is run by Schaffer and Aulet-
ta, The UAS/Laura Johnson issue was covered in a
haphazard and misinformative manner. The debate was
in a complete and unbiased manner.
However, this is nothing new.
1 am outraged that the ASP, an example of yellow and
irresponsible journalism at its best, has the audacity to
criticize SA policies and practices which have created
giant gains in minority issue awareness, recruitment and
has tried to make our student association committed to
fairness; even though they themselves have not shown a

NYPIRG helps voters
To the Editor:
It is now time for students to take the next step — now
is our chance to make our votes count in the November
election. Who are your representatives, how do they
stand on the issues that are important to you as a student
and citizen — the arms.race, women's rights, toxic waste,
tuition hikes? We can learn how to hold representatvies
accountable for the decisions they've made on the matters
that affect our lives — NYPIRG has helped to register
over 5,000 students to vote in Albany, and NYPIRG can
help students take the next step to make our votes into
voices for student activism and student concern —
Awareness is the Key!
NYPIRG will be holding a Student Activism Forum on
October 17 in Lecture Center 1 at 7:30 to giver e
at SUNY Albany the information and opportunity to take
that next step, and become active in the political process.
Participation as a voter can mean much more than simply
going to the polls on election day — turning voter
registration into voter education is students’ key to mak-
ing a strong impact on the direction and responsiveness of
our government. Student activism is essential to the
health and vitality of the political system — and student
activism is alive and well here at SUNY Albany. Join us
— Take the Next Step.

Gays have rights
To the Editor:"
‘A response is due the previous letters by Joseph Patrick
Sullivan 111 and Phillip Giguere who suggest that the
useless" Gay organizations on campus and elsewhere
are a source of shame, have no place in the military and
should divorce itself from “the real American way of
life."
A university, especially if it is ours, is an institution
wherein diverse ideas, cultures, peoples and lifestyles are
focused so that an exchange of such diversity may occur.
Exposure to such diversity enriches and enhances our
educational experience. Whether you choose to recognize
it or not, there are gay men and women on campus and in
the rest of America, Yes Virginia, there are homosexuals,
No minority organizations serve a useless function in a
university, or elsewhere. They exist as a forum of support
for its members, and as a means through which they may
educate others. Contrary to your beliefs, there is no ma-
jority on this campus — we are individuals who are uni-
{Que unto ouFselves, with different interests, different con-
cerns, different ideas and different beliefs. As such, each
of us is an integral part of this university and are depen-
dent upon one another to enlighten and and infor
celebrate our differences so that we may learn, and to
respect these differences so that we may not prejudice our
actions,
If there is ‘‘an American Way" (and I believe there is
Aot one, but an, infinite number), then it fs through, law .
and policy that we must protect such diversity, and speak
against those laws and policies which have no relevancy to
the realities of the present, Great injustice is done to our
system of law, when such laws are followed blindly, to the
letter. Let us be thankful for the 20th Amendment and
the Civil Rights Act while we remember that the injustices
were too long in being amended, and persist still today.
If ROTC denied admittance to highly qualified women
or on account of color, or to Catholics or Jews, What
would you then say? If gay men and women happen to be
qualified (and what is it that makes them ‘‘unqualified'’?
— besides the law), and if ROTC is so “‘vital”’ an instur-
‘ment in protecting America then, (if | may use your own.
words) ‘We are sacrificing an opportunity to provide our.
military with qualified personnel to protect our nation,’”
Finally, | believe your proposal for a campus-wide vote
to decide who we want to support and who we would like
to go to school with, is a splendid idea. Yet, | would ge-
nuinely regret the omission of your own name on that
ballot, because I would then be denied the pleasure of
voting against you,

Defaming Abelow
To the Editor:
The ASP editorial “More than Black and, White" of
Friday, October 12th was a gross injustice and an exam-
ple of yellow journalism. While the denial of Laura
Johnson to the UAS Board of Directors is unfortunate,
and shows a definite conflict between SA’s Affirmative
Action and Equal Opportunity policies, the ASP used this
case to generate controversy and defame a man’s name in
the process, at
‘The editorial pushed the inference that Ross Abelow’s
appointment, to the voting-member on the UAS Board of
Directors, was in place of Laura Johnson. The ASP knew
this to be incorrect, because (wo pages earlier in that issue
they reported that Eric Holzberg was Ms, Johnson's
replacement, Also within that earlier article it was stated
that Ross Abelow's voting rights will be rescinded on the
18th birthday of UAS Board of Director Jennifer Corby,
who until that date possesses Mr, Abelow’s non-voting
member status. In effect Mr. Abclow's appointment is in
no way connected to the Johnson case, Obviously the
ASP chose to ignore these facts and proceeded to attack
Ross figuring it would make better copy.
The line Ross is a White Man."” is an insult to’all who
read such a sentence. Sure Ross Abelow is Caucasian, but
the sentence implies “Racist."” Ross Abelow is anything
but a racist. Reverse discrimination is as ugly as
discrimination in the normal sense, For the ASP to infer
stich libel is unexcusable. Ross Abelow is probably one of
the most school-spirited individuals on this campus. Cur-
cently Mr. Abelow is involved in many aspects of univer-
sity life, There is no reason to start defending him by
listing accomplishments because it is not he who is in need
of defense but the author of the editorial and the paper
who printed it, If Ross was anything close to a racist there
is no way he could be involved as he is. Certanily he is a
maverick, compare him to most people on this campus
and you'll see this is true, but this is only a direct result of
drive, determiniation, and caring about this
university.
The ASP is entitled and should be encouraged to voi
opinions on such matters as the UAS-Johnson case, But
in the process, the freedom of speech is misused to defile
the character of anyone unjustly it should be made
known. Once again 1 feel the editorial of Oct, 12th was
nothing more than yellow journalism and deserves to be
labelled so.

Where’s Public Safety
To the Editor:
What is more important, the lives of the people on this
campus or a five dollar parking ticket In over two years
at this school it appears to me that Public Safety has
chosen the latter. While they are giving parking and
speeding tickets like they are going out of style, cars are
being vandalized and most importantly girls are being
raped.
It can’t be argued that the police couldn't possibly be
everywhere or that there is no importance in enforcing
parking and traffic laws, but priorities must be put into
place. What is needed are foot patrols on the podium and
around those areas joining it to the quads as well as on the
quads themselves, where students are in the most danger.
Instead of going through the parking lots only occasional-
ly, usually to check for unregistered cars, Public Safety
should make frequent passes to check for real dangers,
and then maybe organizations like Don't Walk Alone
wouldn't have to do their job for them.

Intramural athletics for Alumni quad
and off campus residents are in the
students’ hands now since one of it’s
founders, alumni advisor Kingsley Greene
stepped down from his post after more
than 10 years of service.
The program is now run completely by
elected students. The organization is Stu-
dent Association funded. It is a co-ed
group coordinating games in volleyball,
basketball, football and softball.
“Kingsley was the head honcho,"” accor-
ding to Downtown Athletics President,
John Reilly,“ Blondie(Ken Ardvino)
helped out a lot, too,"” he addded. ,
Greene explained that he stepped down
because he “began to look at it as a
..the new mix of students had less
When Ardvino became involved in his
business and wasn’t able to help out,
|Greene had to step in and take over the
management. ‘I wasn’t interested in
that,"” Greene said.
“When it was time to rake the field,”
said Ardvino, ‘Kingsley was there with no
students to help him, He gave the program
10 or 11 years, he couldn’t be expected to
do anything more,”* noted Ardvino.
“It was rewarding for me,” said
Greene. He said that he has ‘felt pangs of
regret, remorse and worry” since he made
his decision to resign the responsibilities,
“Greene didn't just walk out on us,
said Reilly. “We knew the spring of ’83
that he would be leaving, so we made some
IDowntown Athletics facing a
shaky future without Greene
changes in ’84 to learn the ropes.””
‘They're kind of winging it without any
guidance except what I can give,’* said
Greene,
."March of last year I spoke to Alumni
Area Coordinator, Tom Gebhart about
finding some faculty advisement for the
group, but because of budgetary con-
straints," said Greene, ‘*he was unable to
provide staffing support."”
Greene said he has mixed feelings about
the eventual result of not having faculty
advisement. ‘There are some good
students running things this fall and I’m
confident that they can carry it out this
year," said Greene, :
“Depending on effective student
leaders, the program could have irregular
leadership,”” said Greene. “Guidance from
professional staff would provide continui-
ty,"” he added.
‘We've been getting accustomed,” said
Reilly. ‘Kingsley helped us get the ball
rolling this year,” he said. “We know we
have to do a lot more now and we do it,””
he explained.
“Downtown Athletics has always been a
friendly organization,” said Downtown
Athletics Treasurer Guy Sansone. ‘That
was Kingsley’s way."
“We have a fruitful program that a lot
of students benefit from,”” said Greene.
He noted that in forming their own teams
many students have developed fraternity-
like groups.
“Many of the ‘old-timers’ still hang out
together,” said Greene, explaining that
every year Downtown Athletics invites the
alumni back Old Timers Day for softball.

Wisconsin students stage
‘drink-in’ to fight 21 efforts
(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) Students
i the University of Wisconsin-Madison —
joined by disgruntled students from across
the state — staged a mass ‘‘drink-in" on
the steps of the state capitol two weeks ago
to protest efforts to raise the drinking age
there to 21.
“We, as students, understand that we
and our peers will not stop drinki
because the law dictates that we do,"” pro-
claimed.Dan Katz, legislative affairs direc-
(or for the Wisconsin Student Association,
which represents student governments
from campuses around the state.
The defiance of new drinking policies
expressed by Katz and other students at the
Wisconsin drink-in — where the day's
motto was ‘‘F-ck ‘em if we casn’t take a
drink’? — has been echoed by students
around the nation over the last month,
While some experts predicted tough new
campus drinking regulations nationwide
would cause some students unease as they
learned new ways to socialize, it appears
that many students are flaunting the
regulations openly and at times even out-
wardly rebelling against them.
At North Carolina State University, for
instance, state alcohol control agents
recently busted 36 students in one night for
alcohol policy violations at a campus frat
party.
iy The next night agents arrested $3 more
NCSU students on similar charges.
Police arrested 56 students for liquor
violations at Illinois State University dur-
ing the first weekend in September, and ar-
rested 47 more violators the following
weekend.
Indiana makes random checks in an at-
tempt to enforce the new alcohol policy on
that campus, where freshmen supposedly
believe “that you come to IU to get
drunk,” said Dean of Students Michael.
Gordon. t
“Some very important people, including
some students, staff, and faculty, are will-
ing to say, ‘Ha, (the campus alcohol
policy) is all a very funny joke,"*" Gordon
complained.
That's evidently the fecling of some
Notre Dame students, who last summer
idnapped"’ a bust of famed football
coach Knute Rockne to protest the
school’s drinking policy
Along with a color picture of the bust
comfortably tanning at a nearby beach,
the Notre Dame student paper has received
A ransom note warning that the Rockne
sculpture won't be returned ‘til the
students have their beer."
Problems and complications with
alcohol policies also are plaguing such
schools as Fort Hays State Univer
Arizona State, St, Bonaventure, and New
Mexico, to name just a few.
““Alcohol-related problems are obvious-
ly taking up more time of campus law en-
forcement agencies these days, and alcohol
abuse is a greater problem, or at least
recognized more,” said Dan Keller, direc-
tor of Campus Crime Prevention Pro-
grams and chief of public safety at the
University of Louisville,
“We have two or three major things
happening at the same time that are mak-
ing the alcoho! problem greater, or at least
more visible on a lot of campuses,” he
explained,
Fro one thing, ‘students who may have
been drinking legally off campus are now
transferring their drinking habits to cam-
pus where new policies make drinking
illegal.”
In addition, ‘many states are now rais-
ing their drinking ages to 21,, creating
displaced drinkers who have no place to
drink except on campus,” he said,
Finally, Keller noted, “‘alcohol abuse
has replaced drug abuse as the number one
student behavior problem, And all these
problems combined are really making
alcohol an issue at many colleges and
universities.””
The whole"*'get tough’ attitude toward
student drinking, some believe, is only
making the matter worse at many schools.
“Any time you trim back people’s rights
and opportunity, there will be some reac-
tions,”” said Jonathan Burton, executive
director of the National Interfraternity
Conference.
Just as many students and fraternities
were endorsing new drinking policies and
campous alcohol awareness programs, he
said, administrators and politicians started
cramming new rules down students’
throats,
Instead officials should be working to
“‘change attitudes as opposed to legisla-
tion,” Burton said.
” “The whole movement might have been
much more effective if the campus alcohol
education programs had been given more
ime (o pick up speed," he theorized.
irst comes education, then minds are
changed, and then legislation can be
enacted with everyone's full support
And while the new campus alcohol
crackdown is preoccupying police
frustrating administrators, and angeri
students, it may not be having any effect
‘on what it was designed to prevent; a A
recent Boston University study found that
ing the drinking age from 18 to 20 five
years ago has had no effect on traffic
deaths or the drinking habits of un¢ d
students in Massachusetts.
The only thing the law has done, says
study author Robert Smith, is foster
among students ‘‘a cynicism toward the
legislative process and disregard for law
enforcement

year," she added, “But it’s a small
‘number of faculty who do it."*
‘The authors found three common types of
harassers,
‘The “‘counselor-helper’” preys on troubled
students’ needs for close relationships. The
“power broker” bargains grades and
recommendations for sexual favors, and
the ‘‘intellectual seducer” draws personal
information from students in class.
The authors’ findings are consistent with
those in other harassment studies,
The University of California at Berkeley
determined in 1979 that 30 percent of its
female students received unwanted sexual
attention from instructors.
In a 1982 University of Washington study,
41 percent of campus women claimed
they'd been sexually harassed, In 1983,
nearly a fourth of Penn State's women
students said they had been harassed.
“Our policy on sexual harassment allows
students three channels for complaints,”
reported Vicky Eide of lowa State Univer-
sity’s Affirmative Action office. ‘Infor-
mal complaints go through advisors or
department chairs, Affirmative Action
handles formal complaints, or ‘students
aha
may go through an outside channel such as
the Iowa Civil Rights Commission,”
But few women ever file charges, she
added.
“They come in and discuss options, but
never come back,” Bide said. ‘‘At this
time no cases are under investigation.”
‘THe University of California at Santa Bar-
bara handles about 20 sexual harassment
complaints a year through its University
Grievance Officer (UGO) and a number of
other contacts.
Only one formal grievance has been filed
since 1981, said Dr. Harleen McAda, the
current UGO.
THe low numbers of complaints are
deceiving, Dzeich claimed, and can make
colleges complacent.
“An institution can kid itself," she said.
“But it may not be an environment in
which students are comfortable
complaining
Informal complaints are easier to make,
Dzeich added, but these aren't formally
recorded or thoroughly investigated.
A better method, she said, is to confront
the harasser non-aggressively. If he con-
tinues, complain to as trusted advisor,
department head or administrator.
“Keep records of events,"” she stressed.
“Write him a letter and keep a copy of it,
Document everything."”
Mondale gains
<3,
October 21.
Ed Rollins, Reagan’s campaign
manager, in an interview Sunday on the
CBS program ‘Face the Nation,”” said
that, ‘I think what Mr. Mondale did in the
debate is, he became a credible
candidate.”
Robert G. Beckel, Mondale’s campaign
manager, appeared on the program with
Rollins and said the Democratic candidate
gained six points in the polls since the
debate and added, ‘Walter Mondale prov-
ed himself to be a leader, in command on
the stage with the great communicator.””
‘According to a New York Times article,
the revival of the Democratic Presidential
‘campaign has apparently dimmed the pro-
spects for major Republican gains in the
House of Representatives, according to
strategists in both parties.
Party strategists were hoping that Mr.
Reagan would be so far ahead in his own
race by mid-October that he would be free
to devote more time and energy to electing
Republicans to Congress. In particular,
they wanted him to schedule more visits to
marginal House districts and put his in-
fluence on the line for Republican
candidates.
Vice President George Bush was
overheard saying that ‘‘we tried to kick a
little ass last night,"” the day after Thurs-
day’s Vice Presidential debate, as reported
in the New York Times.
In an appearance on ‘‘Meet the Press”
Sunday, Representative Geraldine Ferraro
said that the comments could reflect the
fact ‘‘that perhaps they are beginning to
‘get a little worried when they see the polls
moving.”
Mondale was already pointing toward
their debate this Sunday, telling a national
radio audience that Reagan's ‘‘good inten-
tions”? aren't enough to ensure peace.
Elsewhere President Reagan was making
a campaign foray into the friendly political
confines of the South Monday.
The president's one-day swing into the
region that always has given him strong
support included stops in Alabama, South
Carolina and Georgia.
Four years ago, running against
n Jimmy Carter, Reagan carried
every southern state except Georgia. This
year, Reagan is considered the leader in
every state in the South.

Grad students apply education to
problem of missing course credit
By John Crawford
Blaming the victim.
Knowledge is power. These two
cliches are taking life and con-
fronting each taking life and con-
fronting each other in the School
of Social Welfare (SSW).
Masters in Social Welfare (MSW)
graduate students are using their
education to
question the ap- The

current cur-
a aim Advocate
Wednesday in
room 002, Richardson Hall at
4:30. All those concerned are in-
vited to attend,
The Problem: The MSW
brochure states, “MSW cur-
riculum is a two year (60 credit)
sequence.” The Problem is that
the current curriculum does not
reach 60 credits, it only comes to
59 credits. In the past, many
MSW students, like other grads
throughout SUNY, through their
own choosing, graduated with
more than the required credits for
a degree, However, the SSW
recently dropped a 2 credit course
from its ‘*designed’’sequence,
leaving the curriculum one credit
short of the necessary credits to
graduate, The School plans to
fectify the problem adding one
credit to its current 2 credit Field
Instructions I course. Unfor-
tunately this will not take effect
until the Fall of 85. The problem
then is how to make up the cur-
rent absence of | credit for the
students caught in the transition
period.
The MSW grads asked that
question at the School's cur-
riculum committee meeting. The
School administrators recom-
mended that they take an extra 2
or 3 credit course to reach the 60
credit requirement. That answer
did not satisfy the graduate
students.
‘At two well attended MSW
meetings, the graduate students
questioned why they had to take
an extraneous course when all
they were doing was following the
designed curriculum? Why were
they burdened with a mishap
caused by the School of Social
Welfare? How appropriate was a
designed curriculum that
necessitated extra credit to
graduate? And would graduate
students have to pay more than
necessary to graduate?
Another problem disturbed the
MSW grads. The SSW ad-
ministrators used the metaphor of
@ contractual situation binding
the MSW grads to take the extra
course and reach 60 credits, The
grads wondered how legitimate
twas if the
did not fulfill its objec
ing the students to th
60 credits because of an SSW
mishap?
Graduate Students Solution: To
organize and present reasonable
and satisfying alternatives for the
n of the SSW mishap.

that if the class entering
Fall of 85 will be given an extra
credit tacked onto a course they
already passed, why not give the
current grads the opportunity to
organize an interim class or
workshop that can fulfill their 1
credit need.
The grads believe they are just
using their field work education
ina practical solution, that educa-
tion “tis founded on knowledge of
social work values and ethical
principles"” — not caveat emptor,
In other words they are willing to
work at an adjustment in a
reasonable way — an adjustment
made necessary by a SSW ad-
ministrative mishap.
The reward: one credit and
School harmony. Plus, the op-
portunity to witness their mentors
belief in their stated principles,
Simple Answer: Congratula-
tions should be given the MSW
grads for their energy and
reasonableness in the face of
frustration. But this problem is
easily solved. Just use that old

Danes shut out Cortland, 28-0
<Back Page)
Saturday morning that Cook would not
play.
“1guess 1 was disappointed when I
folind out Cook wasn’t playing,”’ said
Ford. ‘We were looking forward to the
challenge. I don’t think the team got more
confident when we found out; I think we
might have been a little tet down.”
Coach Larry Czarnetki would not blame
the team’s loss on the injuries to his two
offensive players. “Cook is the type of
back that not only helps the offense, but
he takes pressure off the defense. But
there's no excuse. Their coach did an ex-
cellent job. They just destroyed our offen-
sive team."
Right from the outset, the’Danes were in
command, On Cortland’s first three
drives, they were unable to manage a
firstdown as the Danes, led by Chris
Esposito’s two sacks pinned Cortland deep
in their own territory. The Danes were
unable to capitalize on their great field
position. On Albany's first drive, they
moved down to the 20-yard-line before
Russell threw his first and last interception
of the day.
Finally, on the Dane’s third possession
of the game, they struck. Starting form the
Cortland 39, Russell connected with Chris
Haynor for a 12-yard gain. Then two plays
later, Soldini ran the veer off the left side
and was able to find room on the outside,
He was pushed out of bounds, but not
before the referees said he crossed the
goaline, with 3:23 remaining in the open-
ing quarter.
‘The Danes scored two more touchdowns
in the first half to forge to a 22-0 halftime
lead. Dana Melvin capped a 46-yard drive
on a 4-yard plunge on third down with
9:11 to play in the half.
On the Dragon's ensuing possession,
Jimmy Colins made the first of his three
interceptions of the day, as he picked off a
Joe Ruyack pass.
On the first play, Russell unloaded an
aerial to a wide-open John Donnelly, who
caught the ball at the 20 and ran untouch-
ed into the endzone,
“That's a play where I'm isolated one
‘on one with a linebacker," said Donnelly.
“But nobody picked me. 1 was wide
‘The Danes faked the extra-point try and
kicker Dave Lincotn ran it in for 2 points.
‘The final Albany score came at the start
of the fourth quarter following a Wayne
Andersen interception that put the ball on
the Cortland 28. The big play in that drive
was a Haynor 15 yard run on a reverse
pitch.
‘The drive culminated on a 3-yard rollout
pass to Scott Barker for the score.
Coach Ford put in second-string An-
thony Nozzi to complete the game as the
Danes were content their 28-0 advantage.
Meanwhile Ruyack was having no suc-
cess moving the offense. He was under a
rush all day, and completed 8 of 28 passes
before being relieved in the fourth quarter
by Lilliam Murphy.
Jim Valentino once again was all over
the field, accumulating 9 solo tackles and 5
assists.
Paw Prints: Albany State is now 3-0
against. Division III schools and 0-3 vs.
Division 11 squads this season...Next week
the Danes travel to Vermont to face Nor-
wich University, a Division III school.

“The big teams are getting all
the exposure, and my team is be-
ing shortchanged,” he charged,
adding, ‘That's just not fair to
my players."” -
“Numerous, less-prominent in-
stitutions with fine football pro-
grams are now essentially shut out
of any significant participation in
the market for television," Toner
said, creating a “panorama of
diminishing opportunity.”
Even Boston College, which
last year earned over $1.5 million
in four TV appearances, this year
must appear eight times to make
$750,000, according to BC head
football coach Jack Bicknell.
The new conflicts, moreover,
have colleges suing one another
over which teams will appear on
which network under whose TV
contract.
UCLA, Souther Cal, the Big 10
and Pac 10, are suing ABC
because it won't allow CFA
members to appear on CBS when
they play against USC and UCLA
this fall.
The CFA “has offered com-
promises to get the games on
TV," insisted CFA spokesman
Dick Snyder, ‘but we can’t abort
our contract with ABC."*
Unitl the suit is decided,
schools with different TV con-
tracts may not be able to televise
their games, critics say.
Others can’t even get TV
contracts.
“We checked with the net-
works, Turner Broadcasting,
ESPN, you name it, and none of
them have any intention of cover-
ing’ lesser-known college games,
said Jim Delany, commissioner of
the Ohio Valley Conference,
which consists of Division I]
schools.
Consequently, Ohio Valley
members» will lose ‘between
$400,000 and $600,000" in TV
revenues this fall, Delany said.
The chaos has made many
sports officials ready to bring
back the NCAA as their exclusive
negotiating agent.
“I think we're all giving the
NCAA more credit’ than it got a
year ago, said WSU!s Walden, “I
hope we can come up with some
new plan that would allow the
NCAA to get us out of this for
next year,” a

Booters lose
‘The women’s soccer team suffered
their eighth defeat in 10 games as the
Danes fell to Springfield, 6-2 on
Saturday.
Five minutes into the game, starting
goaltender Maureen Keller injured her
middle finger, forcing her out of the
game. In her place went Kathy DiBen-
nedeto, who started her first collegiate
game last Sunday against St. Lawrence
in a losing effort.
DiBennedeto hadn't planned on play-
ing against Springfield, as she felt sick
before the game. Her illness affected
her play, as Springfield scored four
goals within five minutes, They added
another goal late in the first haif, mak-
ing the score 5-0 at halftime.
‘The Danes got on board in the second
half as Joanna Lazarides converted a
Sue Frost pass 22:10 into the second
half. Albany closed out the scoring as
Dana Stam scored her second goal in
three games with three minutes left to
play in the game,
Springfield outshot Albany, 24-14.
The Dane's next game will be against
Hartwick today in Oneonta at 3:30.

Colleges get raw TV deal
‘(COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE) As the regular
college football season and a new era in
televised college sports began, many cam-
pus officials were already complaining
their programs were losing money.
Thanks largely to a series of bitter
lawsuits, battles with television networks
and, ultimately, the June, 1984 U.S.
Supreme Court decision to let individual
schools and conferences negotiate their
own TY contracts, the 1984 season could
start an era in which football superpowers
permanently eclipse the rest of the nation's
programs, officials said.
Many already are urging a return to the
old days of 1983.
“It’s a disaster from an economic stand-
point,” lamented Tom Hansen, commis-
sioner of the Pacific Athletic Conference
(Pac 10), whose 10 members will gain lit-
tle, if anything, from the new TV
uation.
~. “I's obvious there isn't the money out
there that there was: last year," added
UCLA sports department spokesman
Mark Dellins, “It will take more ap-
pearances for less money to match last
year,” he said,
It’s caused the NCAA (National Col-
legiate Athletic Association) and all of us a
big mess,"" agreed Jim Walden, head foot-
ball coach at Washington State University
(WSU).
The “mess! arose from 1982 lawsuit
against the NCAA, which for 32 years had
negotiated TV contracts for all college
football games.
Two years ago the universities of
Oklahoma dn Georgia sued the NCAA,
claiming individual schools had the right
to say when, where, and for what price
their football teams will appear on TV.
‘The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June
that the NCAA's exclusive control over
football TV rights was, indeed, an illegal
monopoly.

Now individual schools — or groups of
schools like the Pac 10 and Big 10 con-
ferences — frantically are negotiating their
own deals with major networks, cable
systems, and regional TV stations. And
most obserters fear that when the dust
finally settles few teams will be better off
than under the NCAA's voided TV plat.
“If everything goes right, we'll come
close to breaking even" with last year, said
the Pac 10's Hansen,
Nationwide, colleges will lose about $41
million in TV money this year, accordin,
to NCAA President John Toner,
“1 think our members are feeling a1
economic crunch”* as a result of the nev
TV plan, NCAA spokesman Dav
Cawood added,
Toner estimates colleges this year wii’
make only about half the $78 million in T'
revenues they would have made under th:
old NCAA arrangement.
In a kind of exclusive, upper crust ver-
sion of the NCAA, the College Footb:
Association (CFA) — comprised of 63 ma-
jor football powers — recently negotiated
a $21 million deal to have ABC broadcast
its games.
The Pac 10 and Big 10 conferences have
likewise signed a $10 million deaf to broad-
cast 16 games over CBS,
Other schools — lacking the clout and
popularity of the CFA, Pac 10 and Big 10
teams — are signing contracts with TV sta-
tions and cable networks to broadcast their
games regionally.
WSU, for instance, will earn about
$600,000 in regionaly TV revenues this
year, said coach Walden, $200,000 less
than last year.
‘And worse, Walden added, because the
superpower teams have scheduled most of
the prime network TV time, ‘we have no
room to get on (national) TV even if we do
great later in the season,"

~ Women har
By Cathy Errig
STAFF WRITER
For Albany State's women’s cross-.
country team to achieve its third con-
secutive vigtory in Saturday's Capital
District Championship, held at Union Col-
lege in Schenectady, should not have been
unéXpected nor surprising. After all, how
else should a team that has been having its
most successful season in the history of the
sport here at Albany complete its dual-tri
meet season?
The championship title, which gave the
women a final record of 14-1, their best
ever, was made increasingly more
prestigious this year than in the past by
participation of seven colleges and univer-
sities rather than the usual three or four,
They were, in the order of their respective
finishes, Albany, 22, Siena and RPI (tie),
$5, Skidmore, 104, and Union, College of
St, Rose, and Albany College of Pharmacy
(id), incomplete. The increase in the
niumber of institutions participating in the
riget reflects the positive growth in
women’s collegiate athletics.
‘The race covered 2,84 miles of Central
piirk in Schenectady, the histdrical high
sthool Grout Course, whose national
reéord, set by Chris Curtin of Mepham
Hijih School, stands at 14:45. The first to
fihish the course on Saturday was
Albany's Karen Kurthy. She turned in the
excellent time of 15:50, an impressive im-
provement over her last year's time which
was One minute slower and placed her
sixth,
The ‘next to complete the race were
Albany's Bette Dzamba, whose time of
16:21 Was 1:06 faster than that of her '82
finish, According to her coach, gave this
Gumby and
iers captu
race the distinction of being “her best
speed race ever.”
Soon ‘after Dzamba was Albany's Don-
na Burnham, finishing in a commendable
16:32 to place third,
The next reasons for Albany’s overall
victory in the championship were Rachel
Braslow (sixth overall at 17:19), and Kitty
Sullivan (eight overall at 17:22), Coach
White was exceptionally pleased with
Sullivan's performance, feeling she
demonstrated fully her ability to come
through for the team on a short course.
‘According to White, ‘‘She (Sullivan) has
shown ‘an immense improvement; she’s
matured into a real runner.””
‘Also perfvorming well for Albany were
Chris Varley (tenth overall, 17:28), Sue
Gulla (fourteenth, 18:05), Erma George
(nineteenth, 18:26) and Kim Patch (24th,
18:55).
‘Coach White could not have been more
pleased with his teams showing. ‘Not only
did we win by a considerably larger margin
than last year, but the times were excep-
tionally fast as compared with the previous
runnings.””
In addition, the team achieved the vic~
tory without the aid of four strong run-
nets. This demonstrated the depth that has
fade the team so successful, Most
noticably missing was Lynn Jacobs, the
Danes usual front runner who injured her
leg carlier in the season.
= Jacobs plans on returning to practice
this week and competing in the SUNYACS
this Saturday in Plattsburgh. She should
be able (0 return to top form by the time of
the race,
‘According to White, ‘It is very possible
for a runner to come right back after a
Pokey come
to Aspects Friday
e Capital District meet
complete week of rest and return to top
form if the runner, had trained heavily dur-
ing the previous months, as is Lynn's case.
‘And we should have all other minor in-
juries under control by that time as well."”
‘A victory for the Danes in the
SUNYACs looks very possible given that
the toughest competition will come from.

‘The Albany State men’s cross-country
team left four of their top seven runners
home and lost a fifth along the way fo
one-point win over SUNY Binghamton
and a shut-out of host SUNY Oneonta last
Saturday. The Danes had some trouble
with the exceedingly hilly 5.8 mile course
and the very psyched Colonials, but pulled
it out in the ead. The two wins left the har-
riers with a very respectable 9-3 record and
‘a winning streak of nine straight as they
closed out their dual-meet season.
Captain Jim Erwin explained that, “Our
only losses weré against Army, Syracuse,
and Division I East Stroudsberg, we
scored well against Syracuse and
Stroudsberg. We haven't lost since that
first race and it sure feels great." Now in
his 27th year.as Head Coach of the cross-
country team, the wins put Bob Munsey's
career total at 196 wins. ‘I'm lucky that
the teaniis:30 loaded with talent, because
Binghamibn looked very hungry and we
just squeaked it out, thank God.”
Senior Ed, McGill won the race without
trouble in 31:33, setting the course record.
Binghamton then took the next two spots,
but junio# Chuck Bronner finished fourth
overall in 33:08. Freshman Pat Paul had a
very strong race finishing fifth in 33:12.
‘Two more Binghamton runners came in
Binghamton, a team the women defeated
earlier in the season, Coach White is being
conservative in his prediction for the meet,
hoping to finish in the top three or four
teams.
‘How ever the runners fare, they have
already proven themselves a team of
dedicated and talented athletes. o
Men runners top Colonials
after Paul, but senior. Jim McGinty was
named runner-of-the-meet for his fine
eighth place finish. Dane Craig Parlato
out-kicked Binghamton's fifth man to give
Albany the win, The final score was 27-28.
This Saturday the Danes will expose the
Colonials to Albany’s full strength squad
in the SUNY Conference Championships
to be held at Plattsburgh. This will be the
first meeting between Albany and arch-
rival Fredonia this season, Predictions see
the twelve-team meet as a dogfight bet-
ween the Blue-Devils, who have won the
SUNYACS for the last six years, and the
same very hungry Dane squad that became
the first SUNY (eam to beat Fredonia for
the last six years when Albany qualified
for the National Championships last
November, and Fredonia went emply-
handed at the New York Regional
qualifier. ‘I guess we surprised them last
time,"” said Dane captain Chris Callaci.
“Now they know who we are, but that
won't help them. We want the SUNYACs
very, very badly.
ACROSS THE LINE: Ever since their ap-
pearance at the NCAA Championships
last fall, the Danes have been “‘a team to
watch." Now the NCAA agrees. Recently,
1 poll of coaches in Division III listed the
top-10 teams in the nation ranking only
‘one New York team, St, Lawrence Univer-
a
sity, among those ten.

Talent alone will not win soccer games
for the Albany State Great Danes; it takes
‘experience. But it seems that experience is
something that teams can only acquire by
losing, That is the trade-off that the Danes
have made in the recent past, including
Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Binghamton.
Losing to Binghamton, the sixth-ranked
Division III team in the state, is nothing to
be ashamed of. Albany gave good account
of themselves throughout the game,
despite the three-goal margin of victory.
But this has been the story all year long, as

Players that Albany Head Coach Bill
Scheffelin had counted on to contribute
before the year started have not met his ex-
pectations. Key veterans were lost to in-
jury,, some transfer students never went
out for the team, and as a result, Schef-
felin must play people who aren't ready
for college-level soccer.
“The team is very young, so they're still
learning and improving,” said Scheffelin,
“You just hope that they'll mature as time

The bulk of the scoring this year has
been done by Jerry Isaacs and Tihan
Presbie, two of the best players in the con-
ference, But the Danes must not fall into
the trap of relying too heavily on their
talented forwards,
“We're going to have to bring other of-
fensive players into the picture,”” said
Scheffelin, “Our midfielders will have to

Albany's midfield has been weakened by
the absence of Jeff Hackett, a standout
last year, whose leg injury has kept him
‘out of action for most of the year. Hackett,
played at about 85 percent capacity against
Binghamton, which is still better than most
players, But Presbie could tell that Hackett
was not yet at full strength,
“Jeff would do moves that he could
normally do and the ball would get stolen
from him," said Presbie. ‘It's ‘d to get
things going on offense with Jeff and Paco
(Francisco Duarte) coming off injuries,"”
Duarte is another veteran who played in-
jured on Saturday that could make a dif;
ference if he were healthy. Although
Duarte's ankle hurt after the game, he
should be at almost full strength for
Wednesday's game against rival Oneonta,
“had to run the same pace for the
whole game,"? said Duarte, ‘I couldn't
make cuts easily and I couldn't sprint out
fast. I'm doing a lot of therapy on
ankle, so I hope to be ready for Oneonta,"
The Danes played the Colonials even for
the first half, yet trailed at halftime, 2-0,
One minute into the game, Binghamton
scored a controversial goal, Albany was
playing an offsides trap on defense which
drew Binghamton’s Jim Sanborn offsides,
Sanborn took a pass and scored a goal that
shouldn't have been counted,
“Everyone saw that he was offsides ex-
cept the linesman,"" said Scheffelin,
“Their player (Sanborn) was at least five
yards offsides."”
Binghamton's second goal could have
been avoided had the Danes been more
careful on defense, Carl Loos had the ball
stripped from him and Jim Shapiro knock-
ed it past goaltender Howard Tyger with
four minutes left in the half,
“Carl and the left fullback shouldn't
have passed to each other back there,"

Danes clobber Dragons on Homecoming, 28-0

For the second consecutive Saturday, Albany
State's University Field was turned into an ugly bat-
tleground which left another college football team
completely devastated, This time, the Great Danes
were the victors of the battle, not the victims,
Bolstered by a crunching defense which allowed
59 yards rushing, the Dane's invisible offense final-
ly surfaced, as the Purple Gang coasted to a 28-0
romp over the injury-ridden Cortland State Red
Dragons, The Dragons were without their All-
American running back Daye Cabk or their first
string quarterback Paul Grazioplané,
The triumph piilled the Dages back up to the, 500
level at 3-3, and left the’ Homecoming day’ crowd

We absolutely had to have this win," said Head
Coach Bob Ford. ''We needed it and Jeff (Russell)
needed it badly,"*
Russell is naturally the Dane's freshman quarter-
back who has been called on to lead the Albany

the year in the opening game against Ithaca, Russell
dida’t look at all like a freshman on Saturday, Tak-

able to move the team into the endzone ¢ the

a great job.""
Unlike the past two weeks, the offensive line
dominated the line of. scrimmage. Right Tackle
John Sawchuck and right guard Tom Jacobs did a
fantastic job paving the way for fullback
Soldini. The junior fullback from Staten Island
cumulated 108 yards on 17 carries and scored the
Dane's first touchdown on a 17-yard dash,
There's a big difference in’size between Cor-
tland's defense and the defenses we've faced in the
past two weeks,"” said the hulking Sawchuck, who
stands at 6 feet and 240 pounds. '*Plus in the last
two games we were read blocking the wrong people.
Today, we ran the veer well and everything came

In contrast, nothing came together for the

Newruling threatens right
to vote in NY college towns
By Ilene Weinstein
Sith wie Service epoca
A Federal Judge ruled Thurs-
day in Rochester that New York
State does not necessarily have to
allow college students to vote
where they aitend school.
The decision by U.S. District
Judge Michael Telesca for the
Western district of New York
clashes with parts of a ruling last
week by U.S, District Judge Neal
McCurn of the Northern district
of New York.
Student leaders had regarded
McCurn’s ruling as a final
guarantee of students’ rights to
vote in their college communities.
The issue has been in the courts
since SUNYA's Student Associa-
tion filed suit in 1980, seeking the
right for students to vote in the
Albany area
Student Association officials,
angered by this ruling, charged
Telesca with “playing party
politics" and trying to “usurp”?
the recently won student power.
“This is a power play on the
part of the judge," said SA Presi-
dent Rich Schaffer, adding, ‘I'll
more than bet he is a
Republican,"? According to
Schaffer, the Republican party is
afraid that ‘if college students
vote, they will vote for the
Democrats.
“They, at this point, realize the
affect we could have,"’ agreed
Nathaniel Charny, a SUNYA
delegate to the Student Associa-
tion of the State University,
(SASU). He added, “It's abusrd
to think that students have no
right to be involved in community
politics."
According to Telesca, the
Monroe County Board of Elec-
tions can require college students
to attend a hearing to determine
their residency before allowing
sion, Telesca equated college
students with ‘servicemen,
prisoners, seamen, and other
transients,” in that all have to
prove residency before they are
allowed to register to vote in a
particular area,
Telesca also denied requests by
three students of Brockport State
for a preliminary injunction to
stop the board from making in-
ies into students’ residency.
“How can he say college
studen:s fall into the same
category as servicemen, prisoners,
seamen, and other transients?"
asked Schaffer, stressing that col-
lege students contribute a great
deal of economic value to their
college towns
“Albany would lose an
estimated 10 billion dollars. in
federal aid without (the) college
students,"" who add to the Albany
population census, asserted
Schaffer.
Nathan Riley, a spokesman for
Attorney General Robert
Abrams, said he suspected the
wo college voting rights cases
would end up at the U.S. 2nd Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals in Manhat-
tan because of the conflict
The different decisions by the
two federal judges leave college
students in the Northern district
of New York and students in the
Western district of New York
operating under different
registration rules.
Voter registration applications
from known campus addresses
will not be approved by the
Monroe County Board of El
tions, unless the student goes to a
hearing to prove legal residency.
Otherwise, the students must
register in the districts where their
parents live.
At the hearing students will
have to prove that they live in the

ROTC wins back tabling rights
SA Court votes 7-0 to overturn Central Council resolution
By Tom Bérgen
AIARE WRITER
In a Student Association Supreme Court ruling
Thursday night ROTC won back its Campus Center
abling rights in a unanimous decision :
Supreme Court voted 7 - 010 strike down as un-
constitutional the Central Council resolution bann-
ing ROTC from soliciting in the Campus Center.
The rationale for Council's resolution was that
SA must make a stand against the army's
iminatory policy" of not permitting gays and
ans to become commissioned officers, which
most students do upon completion of the ROTC
program,
The resolution, passed September 19 by Council
jother vote on October 3, said “SA
will not participate in discriminating against
students on the basis of sexual perference by exten-
Jing solicitation privileges to SUNYA's ROTC
program."*
When told of the SA Supreme Court decision,
SA Vice President Suzy Auletta said, doh't agree
h the decision but there's nothing I can do about
it,” Auletta said that she may try to get another
resolution on ROTC passed by council.
Central Council member Steve Russo, who
represented the plaintiff in the case and voted
against Council's original resolution, said, I'm
very happy that it was unanimous, I think basically
it was the constitutional issue of violating freedom
of speech; if SA can deny freedom of expression to
ROTC they can deny it to any group they disagree
with.”
SA President Rich Schaffer said, “I'm disap-
pointed, and although I support the rights of the
homosexuals, I think Steve (Russo) had the
