Wings on their way to a 15-1 victory at
Center City tce Rink in Schenectady Satur
day night in front of 50 vocal fans.

“The fans really helped," said Paul
Essner, ‘It's really easy to play in front of
good fans."*

Coming off of a tough loss 10 the RPL
club team, Albany featured a very balanced
attack as eight different players. scored
goals. In just their fourth game, the team
had their timing down pat as their pin-point
passing led to many scoring opportunities
The first yoal was prime example of this,

Essner and Rich Diem teamed up on a
picture-perfect give and go, The goat by

After the Red Wings tied the score at
one, Essner netted the game winning goat

he jammed in the rebound of a Pat MeGi

After the Essner score, it was smooth

Student fee proposal raises

Student Organization are successful.

According 10 History Professor Kendall A, Birr, the committee is com-

committee, He added that the report will probably be submitted by early
next week.

The committee, consisting of both graduate students and faculty
members have been discussing the issue since the beginning of the
semester

The committee iy suggesting, in one of several proposals, that a charge
of $1 per credit hour be collected, with a maximum of $12 charged 10
these students, This amount, Birr said, would generate an additional
$33,000 from graduates, and an additional $9,000-$10,000 from part-time
and non-matriculated students,

Masters of Public Affairs Student Association, feels that the fee isnot

The fee wouldn't be handled by the Student Association (SA), said
Barsky. He said that the fees collecied would be controlled by a graduate

Martiniano said he doesn't see the fee as a way 10 bring grad

New Emergency Telephones installed

By Alicia Cimbora

The. tBepattics) of Public Safety working with the
Womens Safety Task Force has recently installed four new
Blue Light Emergency telephones at the downtown campus
inorder to provide increased safety, according to downtown
Campus Coordinator Joel True.

The Blue Light Emergency phone system was first initiated
in September of 1980 in response 0 a series of assaults on

Director of Public Safety Jim Williams

30 to 50 calls a year are received.

women, Modeled after a similar system at Corneff Universi-

ty, the system provides members of the University commui

ty with direct access to the Department of Public Safety in

the event af a personally threatening situation, ‘The major

function is to let people know they are not without
"" said Director of Affirmative Action Gloria

When a phone is picked up it rings at a dispatchers desk
which indicates the location of the call, said Director ot

Public Safety Jim Williams. The dispatcher will then im-
mediately send a patrol car to the scene, he added,

The blue phones are ‘‘one of the things we've done to
enhance the safety of the community,"" he said, Williams
said he receives 30 to $0 calls per year from people with ‘real
or imagined problems.”” Public Safety has no complaints
about the phones being abused or misused and says that ‘not
many people take advantage of the system, but the people
who do are appreciative.””

DeSole sees the phones as deterrents to potential criminal
acts. She feels that if people know the phones are there they
will think twice before they do anything

Initially there was considerable publicity for the system,
but since its installation there has been a “whole new genera
tion of students who don’t know about the Blue Light phone
system,"" according to True, The Task Force is “‘very recep-
tive" to the idea of renewed publicity for the Blue Phones
and is considering re-ordering the original posters, said
DeSole,

There are eight phones on the uptown campus located in
the following areas: State Quad parking lot; Indian Quad
between the quad and the parking area; behind Indian Quad,
between the lake and tennis courts; the Western avenue en-
trance 10 campus; the commissary parking area on Fuller
Road; Duich Quad parking lot; Colonial Quad; and in the
circle near the bus stop. Downtown there are seven phones
located in; Draper hall; Page gym, Husted hall; Milne locker

Athletic Hall of Fame to honor SUNYA’s finest

By Kelth Marder

JATE SPORTS EDITOR

In an effort (o rekindle alumni interest and
honor those who have aided SUNYA inter-
collegiate athletics, University officials have
decided to create a SUNYA athletic hall of
fame, Those to be honored are former
athletes, athletic faculty members and others
who have played an integral role in the stc-
cess of Albany athletics,

According to Associate Athletic Director
Pat Rogers, the idea for a hall of fame has
been, “a concept in the minds of some of our
senior faculty members for a number of
years.”

A room on the third floor of the gym has
been set aside to house the hall of fame, and
decorating work on the room is currently in
progress,

A seven-member committee has been set
up to lay the groundwork for the program,
Track Coach Bob Munsey and former wrestl-
ing coach Joe Garcia, are responsible for, the
constituition for the hall of fame. Rogers,
Athletic Director Dr. William Moore, and
Sports Information Director Mare Cum

in charge of coordinating funding for the
project. "We're hoping to get contributions
from private individuals who are interested,
from UAS, from Albany Alumni Association

and their annual fund drive, and events in the
gym, in the past we've had the
Globetrotters,"” Sauers explained.

Director of Physical Plant Maintenance
Dennis Stevens arranged for his crew to do
the refurbishing of the room to transform it
from a former weight room to a hall of fame.

The selection method, outlined in the con-
stitution, and approved by University Presi-
dent Vincent O'Leary last May involves a
three step process.

The first step is open nominations. Forms
for this can be obtained through Moore's of
fice; these forms can either be picked up in

They will then send their nominations to a

seven-member board which will make the
final decisions, Vice President of financial
fairs Lewis Welch will be one of the board
members,

The deadline for nominations this year is
April 15. In future years, the deadline will be
30 days before the last day of the spring
semester,

The first inductions will be October 12,
1984, during Homecoming Weekend, Cur-
rent students will most probably not be
familiar with the majority of the initial in-
ducices due to the fact that an athlete is not
eligible to be selected until they are out of the
school for five years,

The requirement for the induction of an
athletic staff -member is that they be a
member of the University Community for at
least five years,

‘An honorary selection may be made to
honor and memorialize people who ha
demonstrated extraordianry dedication and
support to the athletics program who are not
cligible under the other two sections.

The final selection board is expected to be
announced by O'Leary within the next two
weeks, Between four and six people will be
indueted annually,

“When Genesis did sexuality workshops,

trained in handling educational workshops,

Very often “when people come in for in-
formation it leads to counseling," Fehey
said, and Genesis was not set up to do that.

Genesis staff members are recruited froma

to both Fahey and Paullay.

Grad student refuses to let
handicap slow down his life

By Tim-Wallace

Ken Gewerth, teacher and student of
Criminal Justice at the Nelson A, Rockefeller
College of Public Affairs and Policy here at
SUNYA, sces his affliction with Cerebral
Palsy (C.P.), as nothing more than “a big
pain in the butt."" ry

The 28-year-old graduate Friday
student was diagnosed
shorily after birth as having Profile
‘a slight case of C.P., which,
according (o the small-framed, blond-haired
Gewerth ‘tis caused by the interruption of the
flow of oxygen to the brain shorily during or
following birth."" However, "*C.P. is very
different from mental retardation because it
effects voluntary functions such as move-
‘ment and speech. It does not impair thinking
ability,” he said as his fingers tapped
rythmically upon the neatly kept top of his
wooden desk.

Gewerth’s speech is not at all affected by
C.P. The only thing that sets him apart from
other people is a pair of wooden crutches
leaning against the radiator of his office,
located downtown on the second floor of
Draper Hall,

Although they scem to be forgotten in his
office, the faded and battered crutches play a
necessary part in Gewerth's daily life. “It's
like trying to walk around with a bad sprain,
You become more conscious of (walking),
something thi
granted," he said. “But 1 get around
alright... Albany is a niee-sized city with a
well-developed public transportation
system,

Gewerth has found that there isa spectrum
on which he bases other people's reactions to
him. At one extreme are people who want to
raise him up to sainthood. "1 went to a
Catholic grammar school where the nuns
constantly used me as an example,"’ he said,
*f have problems, but we all have problems.
we're coping with on a daily basis, We're all
super-hums that respect,"”

On the other exireme are people who do
not become comfortable around
Gewerth explained, “I'll try three or four
me... if they don't respond after hat it’s no
longer my problem. It's theirs, However,"
said Gewerth with a smile, "you get real good
at making people feel comfortable around
you, [ve learned 10° use humor a lot of
times,""

People rarely react to him in cither ex-
treme. “Most of the time my handicap can be
ignored," he said as he adjusted his glasses
upon his boyish face. “Most people are really
cool about it,"

As a graduate student, Gewerth has am-
bitiously completed all his coursework and
now divides his time between generating a
Prospectus for his doctoral dissertation, and
team-teaching CRJ 201, an introductory
Criminal Justice course, with Professor

Gewerth has chosen the

field of elderly offenders for the topic of his
dissertation. “The Criminal Justice system is

with many elderly people on a fixed income,
he cannot afford to pay the bail and must

Senior Week tickets will
be distributed randomly

By Jon Willmott
STU WRITER

A new system for assignment of
order numbers for purchase of
senior week tickets has been for-
mulated according t¢ Ann. Marie
LaPorta, Class of 184 President,

This year, students will be given
random, pre-assigned numbers
when they pick up their senior
cards, Cards will be distributed
March 19-23 from 10 a.m, to4 p,m.
at the third floor of the Campus
“enter. Extended hours from 7 10.9
p.m,, March 21 are included for
those who can't make it during the
regular hours, The cards will make
seniors eligible to. participate in
events planned for senior wee
May 12-19.

The new system was devised
because in previous years the tine
that formed outside the Campus
Center and streiched across the
podium had become unruly
because, “people's tempers flare
after waiting on Hine so long,” said
La Poria,

The numbers assigned 10
determine in What order seniors can
buy tickets 10 events. Four card
holders can come in 10 buy tickets
on ainy one number, said LaPorta,
She equated the new system to the
present housing lottery. Each senior
card entitles the bearer 0 buy 1
ticket al the senior price and L ticket
at the non-senior price

order to obtain senior eard,
clays dues must be paid in full and,
according to LaPorta, what her

records say, goes. “However, if
there:is a discrepency we will check
with student accounts to back us
up, in which case there will be a one
day tag in issuance," LaPorta add-
ed that dues. are $3 per semester,
$24 in (otal for the 2,500 seniors.
The dues are used to sub:
events during senior week,

The decision to change the system
was reached last semesier in class
couneil with LaPorta casting the
deciding, tie-breaker vote,

The senior brochure which will
include the price list and number of
people permitted will be made
available in the beginning of April,
said LaPorta,

Events for senior week include
trips to Great Adventure, Atlantic

EDITORIAL _———————__
Will Reagan ever learn?

democracy at home, our government must practice
hypocrisy, oppression and violence abroad,

After three years of continual escalation and continual
failure in Central America, the Reagan Administration is
ticking to the bloody course which has brought that region
to the brink of war. This week a Senate committee agreed 10
Reagan's request for $92 million to bail out the crippled
[Salvadoran army. It also voted to send $21 million more to
continue the ridicutously unsuccessful — not (o mention il-
legal — “‘covert"” CIA war against Nicaragua, \

tis obvious that the lessons of Vietnam have not left their
Imark on the minds of Reagan and his right wing cohorts. The
millions he has poured into Central America have caused on-

L is embarassing that. while we enjoy the fruits of

the harder he tries, the more he fails,
The same conditions which guaranteed American failure in
Southeast Asia twenty years ago are ruining Re

in ‘‘our backyard" today, Through the tunnel-vision of his
cold war mentality, he sees Central America as some sort of
proving ground for the Soviet American power struggle, or a
{conspiracy by the evil Russians and Cubans agains! the sain\-
ly Americans.

In reality, the conflicts in Central America are deeply
rooted in the terrible social injustice and suffering of the peo-

ple, These conditions are a result of years of American in-
terference in the region, Our economic and military im-
perialism has squeezed the life out of our southern neighbors
in the name of profit and political control.

To add to this distortion of reality, Reagan insists that the

;nflict must be solved militarily. As in Vietnam, we are
discovering that social problems become aggravated, never
solved by the use of force. Reagan has allowed all efforts for
social reform, economic equality, and human rights to col-
lapse in order to pursue victory-and control through violence.

‘Another. development this week was when the State
Department complained that the Cuban presence in
Nicaragua is greater than what we've been told, and may
total as many as 3,000 military personnel :

Blaming the Cuban presence for the continued militariza-
tion of the region, as Reagan likes to do, is a hypocritical lie
We have well over 4,000 {roops operating next door in Hon-

which every day is looking more like a giant U.S.
military base than an poor third world nation. And the Pen-
agon may be planning to use the facilities there to house a
permanent American presence and to launch future actions
in the region,

Reagan has also poured tens of millions of dollars into the
incapable Salvadoran military, Thousands of Salvadoran
soldiers have been trained by American specialists,
throughout Central America and in the U.S.

Recently Reagan proposed refiewing military aid to
Guatamala, That aid was cancelled by President Carter
because that nation had, and still has, one of the worst
records of human rights violations in the world, This means
nothing to the madness of Reagan's conservative mentality?

Yet all the escalation and oppression which Reagan has in-
itiaied has left U.S, interests hovering desperately close to the
edge of disaster, With our militarization of the Salvadoran|
government, the leftist rebels are becoming stronger and
‘more successful each day. With every dollar Reagan sends,
the death tolls rise and the nation becomes more torn apart

‘And our Nicaraguan contras, with each CIA payment they
receive, admit that they have met with little success in disrup-

ing the Nicaraguan government. They have used this
‘American military venture to legitimize a massive military
buildup and closer ties with Cuba and the Soviet Union,

Thanks to our president, we have shown ourselves in Cen.
tral America to be millita paranoid,
hypocritical, imperialistic, and without an ounce of
concern for peace, freedom, human rights or the general
welfare of the people.

If we are lucky — that is, if Ronald Reagan is not reclectx
— we may in many years be able 10 undo the damage he has
done, and show the world that we can make good on our
ideals, in “our backyard” as well as in our own home.

_ Hart: media creation or new JFK

Until quite recently, 1 viewed the presidential campaign
with a kind of disillusionment, and what 1 would call ar-
rogant indifference, Some choice for the future, | thought: a
president who plays out old B-movie scenarios vs. Fritz Mon-
dale, who is about as exciting as Friday afternoon classes. |
soon would dread the coming months and the subsequent
onslaught of monster media: T.V. commericals, magazine
covers, junk mail, and groupies banging on my door, Thrill-
ed I was not,

Jason Friedman

T really don’t want (o sound apathetic; Twant (o support a
candidate who has something important to say, who
understands the mood of the nation and has a vision of
where this country should be going, That f can't find him out
there troubles me,

Asa kid, 1 was captured by the Kennedy myth, my parents
lived it, and passed" it on to me. You know what I mean,
the optimistic, idealistic vision of what a leader should be.
and what we as a nation could achieve, And then came Dallas
and so on, . . This is not a history lesson, but the events of
the last, two weeks have changed my attitude considerably.

Although I haven't found anyone I can trust, thany others
seemingly have, namely Gary Hart, Out of virtually nowhere

to Walter Mondale, who two weeks
earlier all but had secured the position as front-runner for the
Democratic nomination, Just who and what is Gary Hart? Is
he really a serious alternative or is he just Mr, Not-Mondale?
Perhaps the crucial question is aren't he and his
“momentum" really a creation of the media?

Let's back up for a minute. At first, the Democratic con-
tenders joined together and attacked President Reagan,
specifically about the budget deficit. Yes, the deficit, which
the Congressional Budget Office estimates to be about $192
billion this year, Reagan's own economic advisers believe
that the deficits, maintained for a long time, could have a
disastrous impact on interest rates, economic activity, and in-
flation,

Yes, this is all very serious — or is it? The question to ask is
will this issue defeat Reagan next November? Hell no! 1
would argue that the voters don’t care about budget deficits.
Why? They don't threaten! Unemployment is coming down,
inflation is okay, and the economy is getting better. Okay,
we're concerned, but if cash is in our pocket — who cares
about deficits?

‘As I said, at first it was ‘*Let’s all attack Reagan," rather
than ‘Let's talk about the future of our nation," Then
something happened. A lightning bolt hit and there was Gary
Hart, (Okay, not so dramatic, but something like that).
Before ‘Super Tuesday" (it was not) on the basis of four
small and unrepresentative states, the press was seemingly
ready to hand over to Hart the nomination.

Gary Hart? Why has he got people thinking? Hart's theme
is "New Ideas, New Generation,”” The ideas" are not new,
but the fact that he has a seme sets him apart from the other
candidates. The message Is so broad and unspecific that
voters interpret it to suit themselves, giving Hart a broader
and more favorable political appeal than Mondale,

Haven't we seen this all before? Hart's ‘New Ideas’*

theme underscores a specific trend in modern presidential
politics, Recent elections have shown that the successful can-
didates are those with broad, vague, empty messages that are
suitably packaged for mass consumption .(George Orwell,
where are you?), With Carter it was honesty and integrit
with Reagan a strong sense of moral conviction and leader-
ship. Those phrases didn’t mean anything in terms of policy,
butt they worked because they were simple, digestible and
could be espoused in defense of our candidate,

And so it is with Hart, A recent article in The New York
Times implied that many of his enthusiastic supporters don't
exactly know why they support him, It’s obvious that the
media and public, are focusing less on his policies than on
who he is and what he really is all about. John Glenn
characterized it perfectly when he called it "the polities of
stampede."

Okay, Hart is giving a voice to Americans under forty-five
who largely have been frustrated by politics and shut out of
political power. He recognizes their concerns about the en-
vironment, women's rights, and arms control. But I really
think they don't know what he really wants. Yes, he’s very

self-confident, Some of his rhetoric brings J.F.K. to mind
when he talks about a desire for national unity and national
Purpose. But come on, Hart is not J.F.K., not even close

Is Gary Hart what William Safire calls a ‘Not-Mr. Mon
dale"? U think so, Many disillusioned voters have gotten
caught up with his “momentum” and his youth and rhetoric
But it won't last long. ‘Super Tuesday" proved that thi
could be the beginning of the end for Hart, or at least tha
the voters and media realize that there are too many
unanswered questions about him, The more he discw
Cuba, the Persian Gulf, nuclear arms, the more it becom:
obvious that he really is inexperienced. Now his past hs
become an important issue,

Mondale will win the important states — Michigan, 1)
linois, New York, Pennsylvania — because he has the sup
port of minorities, labor, old line democrats, and senior
citizens. These are the votes needed to get the nominatis
and he will get He's not flashy, but he is a damn go
politician, Very soon, if not already, Hart's “momentum

C’est Moi

Only 24 hours more to St, Patrick’s Day.
Heh heh heh.

By now, I’ve written about being a freshman so many times peo-
ple are beginning to wonder just what the hell I'm going to write
about when |'m a sophomore. Nonetheless (and | beg your pardon
most abjectly), | must now ask for just one more moment of
understanding,

Freshman, St. Patrick's Day.

Doesn't the juxtaposition of those two phrases bring a tear to
your eye?

T once wrote in this column that if a million monkeys typed for a
million years. one of them would write my column for me

That was a scientific truth

Here's another; if a million monkeys drank for a million years,
one of them would get as drunk as I'm gonna be tomorrow,

Now the obvious thing to do in a case like this is to dismiss it as
merely being another circumstance of an overzealous freshman,
psyched to be away from home and anxious to spend as much of

fe Patrick's Day as humanly possible as drunk as he can possibly

Ie.

That's exactly what it is

I'm tired of being mature; tomorrow, I'm going to be smashed,
trashed, wasted, whatever your favorite colloquialism happens to
be. Maybe I'll have a keg in my room, as a sort of feeble defiant
gesture to the pompous bureaucrats of SUNYA, who have
decreed that no more keg-parties can be held in suite-rooms, but
will allow us beerballs instead. (Quick Quiz — One keg equals
how many beerballs? You have thirty seconds. . .go!)

It might seem strange to some of you that, after a semester of
protesting my own maturity and arguing for the recognition of the
maturity of freshman as a group, I should let myself say such utterly
immature things as “Boy, am | gonna have fun tomorrow!” and

“I'm gonna be wasted!.”

Real Irishmen Don’t Drink Cola —

by John Keenan

moves, of quiche eaters and real

men, we've been deluged with
examples of the correct way for people
to act. We already know, for example,
that real men don't eat quiche, real
women don’t pump gas, and real cats
don't eat lasagna, With St. Patrick's Day
fast approaching, the question arises
“What is it that real Irishmen do that
seperates them from the rest of the
common herd?” Well, to begin with,
real Irishmen don't drink Coke. Real
Irishmen can't understand a soft drink
that bills itself as “The Real Thing.”
After all, real Irishmen know what the
real thing is, and Coke just hasn't been
the same since they took the cocaine
out. Real Irishmen also haven't been
drinking Pepsi since Michael Jackson's
Billie Pepsi commeicial was released,
and, unless that commercial is removed
from the air very soon, they'll probably
never drink it again

I n this age of right and wrong

So what do real Irishman drink?
Beer. Lots of beer. Any kind of beer.

They also drink Bailey's Irish Cream

Whiskey. Other than that, they will con-
sume any kind of alcoholic beverage,
although they tend to prefer the hard,
very hard type, the kind that is made at
home in Uncle Kelly's still and. will ex:
plode if brought to a temperature of
over 120 degrees farenheit

The real Irishman is a strange figure.
He tends to be genial, especially when
drunk, and maudlin, again when drunk,
He also tends to get in a lot of fights that
could have been avoided, but never
{eels sorry for them later, unless he goes

Real Irishmen do not call the police.
unless they are the police or are related
to the police. They prefer to handle
trouble themselves. perhaps with the
aid of a large two-by-four or Grand-
father O'Donelly's billy club

Real Irishmen listen to the Rovers,
the Clancy Brothers, and Bing Crosby;
they know at least the first verse of Wild
Colonial Boy,

Real Irishmen watch The Quiet Man

REAL IRISHMEN

Cu Culain: a hero in Celtic mythology.
He held off an army single-handedly for a
year, and then, when they finally killed him,
he didn't fall down, This is very Impressive, as
even the most Irish of Real Irishmen tend to

nen they die.

ratrick: patron saint of the Irish
Single-handedly responsible for St. Patrick's
Day. He also chased the serpents out of
Ireland, although very few people know what
this actually means,

James Joyce: the basics. Wrote Portrait
of the Artist As a Young Man as well as many
others, His Ulysses was censored throughout
the world as obscene. Real Irishmen unders:
tand that there is a time for obscenity.

Joseph Kennedy, Sr.: made his family
info one of the most wealthy in the country by
running bootleg whiskéy during prohibition

eal Irishmen know how to use the capitalist
system.

Young Joe Kennedy: Supposedly the
“forgotten” Kennedy, groomed by his father

anything else he ever attempted to be

John F. Kennedy: Dispelled the myth

go into here.

Bobby Kennedy: Was on his way to

Leon Uris: Rumoied to be Jewish, but

George M. Cohan: wruie “Yankee Doo

Scarlett O'Hara: The ulimate Irish
businesswoman. She combined brains, beauty
and sex appeal to utterly devastate anyone i

to marry Scarlett O'Hara. They also think that
Ashley Simpson is a wimp, and he’s dead if
they ever catch him alone.)

Tip O'Neill: His dream job js to end out
his career as ambassador to Ireland, Real
Irishmen respect that, although most disagree
with his politics, The real Irishman’s attitude
toward foreign policy is best characterized In
that well-known catchphrase, "Nuke ‘em til
they glow.” Real Irishmen aren't proud of their
attitude, but they respect themselves for It

Bobby Sands: No explanation
necessary

William Kennedy: Albany's own teal
lrishman. Most real Irishmen tend to believe
that Bill Kennedy probably throws « beautiful
right hook, Real Irishmen also seriously doubt
that Bill will ever come back to SUNYA, and
they don't blame him for it

Ronald Reagan: Real Irishmen give this
man credit. He’s been screwing up the country
for almost four years now. and nobody will
blame hin for it because he's so lovable. This

-LR.A.- Avengers Or Assassins?

by Jim O? Sullivan

Its very easy for someone who grew
Up learning about the great deeds of
George Washington and Nathan Hale
and the American Revolution to see a
lot of glory and heroism in today’s Irish
Republican Army,

The idea of fighting for the unification
of Ireland, a land which suffered longer
and more horribly the effects of English
imperialism than any other colony, is an
inspiring idea. %

The Idea of fighting for the-rights of a
people discriminated against solely
because of their religion is, according 10
various elementary-through-high school
texts, an honorable undertaking

But somehow, the idea of a bomb
tearing away human flesh (or blowing
cars apart from the inside out, or leaving
buildings exposed with with a crumbled
facade lying across the sidewalk), is
neither inspiring nor hdhorable, and the

last words that apply to such acts are
glorious or heroic

Ireland, a land of legendary beauty
and remarkable people, has always had
‘one inescapable problem: location

England has always had one great
barrier which has stopped every poss!
ble invader since 1066, and before that
invasions were sporadic; there was litile

worth invading for, The English Chan.

hel was the stopping block for Napoleon
and Hitler, among others, Its choppy
waters have spared the country most uf
the havoe felt by nations on the
mainland

The only flaw in England's natural
defenses has been Ireland, English
miliary minds very early on realized
that Ireland could be the “knife in the
back” that left England helpless:
Naturally, it became a now almost. an:
clent policy of the English to subject the
Ish people to. whatever atrocities
necessary for total control of the island
As the centuries rolled on, so did the
oppression, particularly against. the
Church.

The greatest flaw of the Roman
Catholic Church, according to Henry
the Eighth, was that he did not control
it. So he formed an almost identical
Christian sect, the Anglican Church.

The various men of questionable
genius (maybe even intelligence?) who

that, with the English monarch and his
people worshipping as Anglicans, and
the Irish worshipping as Catholics, any
opposition to British rule would have a
natural “stage” - the Catholic Church
Bravo for the generals - they knew a
brick when they saw cne flying into their
faces

The Irish people saw this too, and as
the oppression increased, they rallied
behind the idea, and the rituals, of
Catholicism

As the years rolled by, and being
Catholic became a form of opposition to
the British, Irish and Catholic became
synonomous, When the reforms of
Vatican Il were announced, many Irish
refused to worship according to the new
rituals, and the phrase “more Catholic
than the Pope" was used to refer to
many Irish old-timers who kept the old
rules

The religious oppression led to many
new customs, such as placing a candle
in the window on Christmas Eve. The
peasants explained to the British that
they were welcoming the Christ child,
but the candles also told area priests that
a Catholic family lived there and would
welcome a celebrant for Midnight Mass:
The priests’ visits were sporadic at best.
as they lived in hiding and constant fear

of their lives, and it was rare for an Irish
peasant to hear Midnight Mass more
than once or twice in his or her lifetime:

The Christian Brothers, who
originated in Ireland, are the only clergy
(ordained priests, brothers, or nuns)
who went by thelr last names’ in pre-
Vatican Il days. This was necessary so
that British soldiers would not arrest and
kill a man for being a member of the
outlawed Catholic clergy. Children
Were taught to call their teachers "Mr.
Oxx” rather than “Brother Jeff” for that
reason

Finally. in 1843, Catholies won
emancipation, in time for a million of
them to flee to America as crops failed
actoss the country, Over a million Irish
died as well; the British found
themselves unable io prevent either
situation because of British landowners’
(and government's) intransigence and
incompetence

Throughout the late 1800's and early
1900's various movements for a free
Ireland arose, But, as in their colonies
everywhere, Britain's rule was prolong-
ed, not by any particular British
brillance, but by opponents’ infighting
One after another, men with viable
plans for Home Rule for Ireland were
destroyed either by other Irish or by the
Church hierarchy.

One of the most promising of these
plans fell apart when an Irish MP, was
publicly denounced from Catholic
Pulbits across Ireland in 1891 for having
an affair for several years with a married
woman, Yet church officials, with an
eye to the man’s politics. had allowed
the affair to continue until a rival politi
cian made the charges public

Joyce would later make both open and

The English would learn many

therefore the world

Industrialism hit with a vengeance

until th

became frequent hosts to cholera,
typhoid fever, and tuberculosis, at a rate
double that of the rest of Britain

The center of the city grew inio a
merge of vast, stolid Victorian edifices,
ringed by the mansions of wealthy Pro-
{estant industrialists. The desperation of
the Protestant poor burst forth in savage
riots against the even poorer Catholics
in the familiar pattern in which the se-
cond to lowest group on the ladder tries
to destroy the only group below them

Today the city is still divided into an
elite; wealthy group of Protestants, a
fairly large middle class of both Pro-
testants and Catholics, and a still too
large group of Protestant working poor,
and an even larger group of Catholic ur-
ban poor

The Civil Rights Movement drew
fearful reactions from reactionary Pro-
testants, who saw It as a threal to the
economic and religious benefits they en-
joyed

Men like Reverend lan Paisley, who
started his own sect of Presbyterianism,
(which is not recognized in world
Presbyterianism), stirred up the working
and urban poor Protestants with exhor
tations of defending their faith. Paisley.

Peaceful, yet powerful demonstra:

Protestants. The 1.R.A. moved into the
Catholic slums and found widespread

had received belore. when they were

the LR.A,, and the Protestants fought
with their army, the Ulster Defenser
Association, As the situation neared
chaos, London, which would suspend
the Ulster Parliament in 1972 as the
main obstacle to peace, sent in British
troops in 1969 as a response lo new
riots.

At the beginning of the occupation
the British forces were welcomed by
both factions, The Catholics believed
their rights would now be guaranteed
while the Protestants felt that the
soldiers would support them in any new
fighting.

However, the British troops did not
stop the incidents, and soon the military
began indiscriminate searches, and was
given special powers. Soldiers were able
to hold anyone they wished to for an in
definite amount of time. Her Majesty's
Prison, the Maze, became a symbol of
the new policy of internment, For the
next decade, "an average of 12,000
soldiers would be tied up in Ulster. Over
270 were killed between 1970 and
1977, perfect targets for I.R.A. guns.

For several years after the
Parliament's suspension, general
reforms were made. but not fast
enough. as extremist Catholic groups
gained control of the Civil Rights move-
ment. These extremists supported the
LR.A., as they saw the British troops
supporting the Protestants.

The Protestants today in Ulster are
now weary of the soldiers they once
welcomed, and they see the troops as
traitorously holding the UDA back

And caught in the middle are the
moderates, Protestants and Catholics
alike, who, although not directly a part
of the violence, have lost children
parents, relatives and friends, people
who have seen their livelihoods ruined
by indiscriminate bombings

Only two things are certain; the
soldiers can’t leave, because if they did
the fighting that would occur would
make Beirut look like a mindless military
exercise

And the soldiers can't stay, because

Right now, there's a group of people

seeking answers to the problem.
According to Mr. David Wigg, an of

sulate assured me the Forum was taking
into account the concerns of the Pro
festants in any possible solution, and
Mr, Wigg agreed wholeheartedly, He
also pointed out that the Ulster Pro.

Forum.

would never accept “enticement” into
“the priest state of the Irish Republic.”

Forum's first meeting,

Paisley also sald, “Our answer will
always be no. This is not the answer of

But it really is, and more importantly

For years I've watched average, everyday
people, some of them Irish, most of them not
treat March 17 as something just this side of
the Second Coming. As if being Irish was the

about all the Irish have been able to come up
with in the Hero Deparment is a guy named
Patrick who chases snakes. And so its for this
reason that @ whole lot of folks wear light

“Kiss me, I'm Irish," and generate a disturbing

Certain things are better left to fools and

significance, if any. is disproportionate to the
energy spent mainly on sartorial conformity
and inebriative recklessness. Even the fact that
such a fine publication as Aspects would
devote an entire issue to this trivial holiday falls
short of its already high journalistic standards

Saint Patrick (St, Pat to friends), im-
mortalized the shamrock by using it to

explain the concept of the Holy Trinity

faced with opposition from Druid
priests, historical records claim that
Saint Patrick managed to convert most
of Ireland to Christianity.

with performing a number of miracles,
the most famous of which is driving the
snakes out of Ireland. In addition, he is

Most pubs offer specials, Hallmark has
put out a new line of cards, and cup-
cakes with green frosting have become
nauseatingly abundant, Saint ‘Pat has
probably turned over in hisgrave.

Happy
St. Pat’s!

While dressing for the Irish Club's Pre-St. Patrick's Day
Party, I had (0 decide between a shirt or a green sweatshirt.
‘This would be a pretty inconsequential decision except that
‘on my sweatshirt the words — IRA, Freedom Fighters — are
printed. 1 decided against wearing it, because I wanted to
have fun, not political arguments all night.

Making this choice triggered many thoughts in my mind.
Last year, at this time, I wrote a letter to the ASP calling for
‘American involvement in Northen Ireland, and I supported
the IRA. Much has occured since then. The situation has
worsened, and the IRA has increased its activities which
many regard as terrorist. Innocent bystanders have suffered
and died as a result of IRA action:

In view of this, 1 had to re-evaluate my opinion of the
IRA; the loss of lives and property left mie fecling am-
bivalent, 1 wasn't sure if 1 could wholeheartedly support
them after such incidences. My wardrobe contemplation
brought my emotional debate to the surface, and 1 came toa
decision, I regret the civilian deaths, The IRA has not inten-
tionally desired to hurt innocent people, but such accidents
always occur in war. That is, in effect, what is going on in
Northern Ireland, The IRA has declared war on England for
the land they have taken from Ireland, England dismisses
this claim and avoids the issue; it refuses to sincerely
negotiate while at the same time, it fails to enter into a clear-
cut confrontation, Instead its soldiers shoot unarmed
children with illegal rubber ‘bullets that kill, and then ra-
tionalize it under the guise of keeping the peace.

Ireland has endured 800 years of this cruel imperialistic
\reatment, This beautiful island has becn divided and stained
with its people's blood for too long, Ireland cries for justice
and freedom, This is the foundation of the IRA. | am usually
against violence, but in this case it is justified. Death is
always regrettable, but unless the situation changes soon,
more and more senseless deaths of both Irish and British
citizens will occur,

Constructive tone

ie avid reader of the Editorial Pages I was
struck by the consistently serious constructive tone of all
three letters in the exchange between Sharon Long and Kap-
pa fraternity member Paul David Brown, Miss Long made a
very valid point with her two letters concerning the ever-
present potential that any group of people who organize
themselves toward accomplishing a goal may, in the process,
alienate others with the same goal who are not group
members, The point was worth making. Unfortunately, the
Kappas were the example chosen when in fact, they seem 10
be conscious of the negative effects of elitist attitudes. What
1 found especially impressive was that despite whatever faults
of logic exist in Mr. Brown's reply (o the first letter, he did
ot treat it as an attack on his organization, Rather, he
facts thal were mostly pertinent and very
enlighter not choose to counterattck, but instead
sought to make the nature of the Kappas organization clear,
By being rational, calm, and informative, Mr. Brown's
defense of his organization was successful without being
defensive.

Ms. Long's second letter was also commendable, She
restated her original point clearly, explained why she had us-
ed the Kappas as her example and apologized for her i
norance, All three letters lacked the malevolent tone that in-
validates the vast majority of letters I've read in my few years
here, Why can't more exchanges be handled in such a
mature, conversational and informative way. It’s nice (0 see
that some people know how to respect each other and don't
see the editorial page of the ASP as the place to air their dirty
laundry.

— David M. Welnraubs

Long term results

To the Editor:

It was brought to my attention that the SUNYA
Rathskeller has been deficient in its employment of
ninorities and minority fu ions, Only recently hi the
powers that be (those in control of the Pub's activities)
sought to ratify these problems by implementing changes to
spark minority interest. Wednesday night Disco at the Rat is
a splendid example of the necessary steps that needs 10 be
jaken in order to provide multicultural entertainment
however | have heard mentioned in the past, that the
management is concerned for a wider variety of music during
this night, This of course would be defeating the present pur-
pose of the one night per week that provides a diversity of
musicthat ean hardly be found elsewhere, Perhaps if the sug-
gestion of interlacing the two prominant musical tastes was
to be incorporated into the Pub's overal weekly format, than
the need for an exclusive Disco night would not be an em-

Fe, 10 the best of my knowledge, no full time minori-
ty employees, One was hired for the short duration of two
weeks but was quickly dismissed under ambiguous cir-
cumstances. | once again find myself questioning the exact
intentions of the management at the SUNYA Rathskeller,
Theresseem to be a patiern of good token beginnings but a
Jong term result of underlying obscure intent. I can only hope
that no future ratification lake place that circumeises minori-
ty concerns,

— Marcus Griffith

College radio fan

To the Editor:
First of all, 1 write this letter as a firm supporter of both
college radio, and WQBK-FM. I felt after reading Dianne
Pine's article (The Sole Music Alternative, Feb. 28 ASP) |
‘ought to clarify my position, Yes, 104 has changed, and yes
we are aiming our sound at an older audience, more in-
terested in hearing their favorites than the latest new sound,
As for the community's response — 2 to | in favor of the
change, and excited to have an alternative to kiddie top 40,
and geritol rock.

I cannot speak for my co-workers, but | have always been
a college radio fan, and always will be as along as students
are free to say and play what they feel is important. 1 have a
good reason (o feel this way — my last station was WAER at
Syracuse University which recently fell into University con-
trol. Hired employees make all the decisions, and stud
push buttons and give the time and temperature, | listen to
WCDB (along with eight other college stations) to hear
avant-garde music, students’ opinions, and campus informa-
tion, One area 1 disagree with Dianne about is music. 1 say
keep it pure — 100 percent avant-garde. If people find it
‘weird’ — tough luck, turn the dial, no one is going to go
broke at college radio from bad ratings, When I hear S
ingsteen, the Stones, or Motown on a college station, I'm not
hearing the next U2 or REM, Once something becomes ob-
viously mainstream 1 think a college station should move on
to the next thing, or investigate a genre of music that went
unappreciated by the masses in the past, If WCDB has the
nerve to call itself an alternative it Ought to be just that, and
leave the Rolling Stones 10 the seven commercial popular

music stations in the area,
Which leadé me 1o the “new QBK-FM 104" which chang-
ed and reflected a change which has taken place nationally
‘and locally, Personally, 1 wish Americans were as interested
in the music scene as British folk scem to be — quick to ac-
cept, and always supicious of success, But, they are not, and
I've got to deal with that and buy groceries, We will play
good music, familiar music, and a good variely of music,
Both 104 and 91 FM face a challenge — to do what they do

best in the Capital District,

— Tom Irwin
WOBK-FM

Lack in communications

To the Editor:

We've heard that the Communications Department was
going downhill, but we didn't realize 10 what extent they
would go, to altempt to expand its diminishing faculty, We
as students of SUNY Albany and Com 238, Rhetoric of Mass
Media, feel slighted by the communications department's at-
tempt to meet student course needs by allowing fellow
undergraduates 10 fulfill the responsibilities of Teaching
Assistant positions once held by graduate students.

We fail to understand how any undergraduate has enough
expertise to critically analyze and evaluate papers written by
their peers, Whether or not an undergraduate has enough
background and experience to enhance a subject beyond the
content of the book must be questioned,

It is not our intention to say that these students are in-
competent as teaching assistants, On the contrary, they seem
to know the subject matter within the course and are well
prepared for discussion sections,

Truthfully, many wihdergraduates may have the potential
{o fulfill the demands reuired of a T.A. The point is that we
were under the impression when we came to this institution
that we would be educated by more qualified individuals,

Apparently, the Conmunications Department does not
find it important enough to obiain the respect of the student
population at SUNY Albany.

Keep lounge open

the Editor:
‘The third floor Humanities Lounge Campaign is still a dif-
ficult and undecided issue, The simple effort of a collection
of students who love a lounge and fight to save it has turned
into a large-scale lobby 10 the university administration,
Much effort and thought were poured into this campaign,
and money, but it is far from solved, A major effort will be
made in the coming weeks to decide this issue, We need your
help. Student petitions can still be found outside the S.A
Contact Office, and in the lounge itself, when it is open in the
mornings, Below is an edited version of a new petition, in-
tended for the faculty of SUNYA, that outlines our position
and our program
‘There is more
Rememb
UDENTS AGAINST
MENTS"
“We hereby aff

a university than just books and teachers,
the people who exist here as well.
TOTALITARIAN ENACT-

m our belief that the third floor
Humanities tounge is an important 1 in the intellectual
growth and maturity of the students of this university. Since
it was opened, the lounge has been in an en

existence with the faculty, clubs, and students of SUNY.
Recently, the lounge has been autocratically declared closed
and locked to students, except for a meager four hours each
day. The stated reason for this action is to keep the lounge
clean. This reason is proved inadequte every day during the
school week at 11:30, when the persons who serve morning
coffee clean up loose cups and scraps of litter, Also, the
lounge still undergoes regular maintenance at least once per
week. The lounge is a necessary element in the Humanities
department, and to the campus. Very few lounges are left at
SUNYA, especially in the academic buildings, and without
the Humanities lounge another opportunity for free and
‘open communication would be lost, This lounge is important
to the academic atmosphere and to student life in the
Humanities building, especially for off-campus and night
students, The proposed redecoration of the lounge is not the
issue, Paint, perhaps a new rug, and new furniture would im-
prove its appearance, but should not change its function.
The lounge is an intellectual marketplace, not a showpiece
living room, $.A.T.E, requests that

1. The Lounge should be left open to unscheduled students
for study, conversation, and personal thought for as long as
the building itself is open.

2. Any meetings, lectures, or similar functions that wish to
use the Lounge have a right to the exclusive use of the room,
after signing for it in the Appointment Book at the Dean's
Office. Before and after these events, the Lounge is to be
relurned to its function per statement number 1,

3. The cleanliness of the Lounge is 10 be maintained by a
clean-up of loose papers and cups daily by the morning cof-
fee servers, and by regular maitenance methods, Students
will also be encouraged (0 maintain the cleanliness of the
Lounge by S.A.T.E.

4. All efforts should be made by the administration of this
university 10 maintain the Lounge per statements | and 2,

RPI’s freshman goalie happy with his decision

Troy
(AP) Last year, goaltender Darren
Puppa refused to even consider
Rennselear Polytechnic Institute
because he had never heard of the
college, This weekend, he will be
feading that team into the national
playoffs,

Puppa, who had appeared ready
to attend the University of Denver,
finished in a tie as the nation's top
goalie this year’ and was named
Thursday as a second team All-
American selection,

He was a fortifying factor last
weekend when RPI beat Clarkson
and Boston University to win its
first eastern title,

“Ive never seen @ freshman in
this league have such an impact on a
team,'’ said Coach Mike Addesa,
whose team, 32-4, hosts North
Dakota, No, 4 in the West, 28-11-2,
in a two-game NCAA quarterfinal
series beginning Friday night.

Puppa, a blond,” 18-year-old
from Kirkland Lake, Ontario,
whose 6-foot, 3-inch frame covers
much of the net, only allowed an
average of 2.85 goals per game this
season,

He cracks a broad smilé as he
recalls the RPI coaches’ efforts to
recruit him,

Not only had he never heard of
the college just north of Albany,
but when he checked a hockey
guide he saw that the team had won
nine games, lost 18, and tied two
the previous season,

“The answer was no,” he
remembers.

“‘Addesa needed a goalie, and
with a telephone call and materials
on the school that he had sent, he
thought he had snared Puppa.

But Darren's dad, Leo, called
back and politely told the coach not
to waste his time scouting because
Darren was not interested, The
hockey scholarship to Denver,

where his uncle coaches, looked to
be his choice,

‘Addesa persisted, sent more
materials, and implored the father
to look into RPI as a respected
stitution,

RPI goalie coach Bob Saunders
took the five plane rides necessary
to reach Kirkland Lake, which is
about 11 hours north of the U.S.
border, and met with Puppa's fami-
ly,

‘After visiting the campuses at
Denver and RPI, Puppa opted for
what he considered to be a better
‘academic program.

“1 wanted to take engineering,
and RPI had an established
engineering program while
Denver's engineering program was
Just getting underway,” he said in a
lockerroom interview after the
ECAC title game.

He questioned whether a degree
from a fledgling program would
carry much weight in job inter-

views.

‘An A-student in high school who
was chosen as an All-Ontario
scholar, Puppa is majoring in in-
dustrial engineering.

While most Canadian youths
play on a junior B or Tier-Two ju:
nion A team, Puppa lived too far
away from the nearest league. So he
played in an intermediate league.

ith players in their mid-to-late
20s, including some former pros,
Puppa faced high-velocity shots,
but received little goaltending in-
struction,

Despite that, he is technically
sound — a good skater who plays
his angles well, is cat-quick, and
who is learning to concentrate
harder during a gam

But there still are times, he says,
when he would prefer to stay on his
feet and not flop to make a pad
save, which leaves him vulnerable
over the shoulders

His basic flaw early this season

was in handling the puck, which
means being able to clear rebounds
quickly to the corner or pass the
puck up to a forward breaking out
of the zone.

But the daily passing and clearing
drills have paid off, In the ECAC
playoffs, he never let rebounds lie
in front of the net,.and instead of
Just carelessly banging the puck
away usually looked for an open
wing who could take a pass and
start a play.

He instills in his teammates “a
confidence {hat allows then! to play
with more determination," know-
ing that ‘when the puck goes th
other way it's not going to go in,
said Addesa.

“He'll try anything you tell him,
and he’s a great student,”” said
assistant coach Bill Switag, a
former goalie at Boston College.

“If you had to pick everything
you'd want in a kid on your team,
he has it.”

Albany hosts indoor soccer tournament tonight

Dean Chang

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

If there was one tournament that the
Albany State indoor soccer club wanted to
win, it would be the one that they are hosting
this weekend, the 11th annual University at
Albany Indoor Soccer Tournament

The team will be split up into two squads,
Albany Blue and Albany White, Each
will play in separate divisions, and neither
team will have an easy time with their com-
petition,

Division II is the tougher of the two, with
Division I powerhouse Hartwick leading the
way. As one of the top Division | teams,
Hartwick has to be considered the favorite to
win the tournament, Kean College, ranked
Hth in the country in Division 11 last year,
must also be considered a favorite to win,
Also competing in this division will be three
junior colleges, Monroe Community College,
Rockland Community College and Fulton
Montgomery Community College. OF the
three, only Monroe will pose a serious threat
to first place, Rounding out the division are
Albany White and Albany Alumni, a group
of former Albany soccer players and
graduating seniors.

In Division 1, Albany Blue's toughest
challenge will come from defending cham-
pion Onconta State, Other teams include
Clarkstown, Nazareth, Nassau Community
College, Orange Community College and
Ulster Community College. In junior college
rankings, Ulster was ranked seventh in the
nation,

OF the (wo Albany squads, Alba

Top scorers Terry Baechus and Jerry Isaacs

n, along with freshman Paco
Presbie, Scott Cohen, and
transfer goalie Paul Rector

“With Terry’ and Jerry, | would say that
we have a pretty good chance of winning,’
said Presbie. “We've only had two practices
together, bul we should be ready for the tour
nament.”

loos believes that his team will be a fore

ter than them," said Loos. ‘I don't know if

play are Jorge Aguilar, Jorge Foiero and Luis
Orengo. Also on the team are Albany State
seniors, who will probably be making th
last appearances in Albany uniforms, Most
notable of the seniors is Mike Miller.

“Pm looking forward to this
tournament," said Miller. “It's the “last
chance 1 have to win something in this
school." Unlike the other teams, the Alumni
squad will not have played with each other
indoors until their first game against Fulton
Montgomery. Said Miller, “Even though we
haven't played together, 1 know that we'll
give anyone a game. It will be a little strange
in our first two games, because 1H just try 10
get accustomed to how everyone else plays
But | saw these guys play two years ago, and
they don't like t0 lose.

Albany Blue will have a good indication of
how they will fare after their first game
against Uster CC, Playing at home will give
the blue team (as well as the other Albany
teams) a decided advantage over their op
ponents, especially in the earlier rounds, Said
Presbie, “Playing in our gym gives us a bi
edge. We know how the ball goes off the
walls and we're much more comfortable
there. Ulster will be playing their first game
against us, and they aren't familiar with our
gym.”

For Albany White and Alumni, their main
concern will be how they plan to beat Hart
wick, In indoor soceer, if you play hard you
can beat any te IFwe can get
one oF two goals up, maybe we ean hold them

off. We do have a very strong defense going
into the tournament,"*
ning obviously is not the most impor-
tant aspect to Head Coach Bill Schleffelin, or
else he wouldn't have split his best players in-
to two teams. “IE put my 10 best players on
fone team, then five of them don’t play," said
Schieffelin. According to Schieffelin, most
fof the 10 players will be starting in the fall
“A lot of kids don't play every week,"
said Schieffelin, “Our club has about 35 10
40 players, and everyone has played at least
‘one tournament, My major concern is to
prepare these players for the fall; there's no

indoor national champion, but there is an
outdoor national champion,"

place team in the other division, and the

Sessions

’ 8 4 State University
of New York at Albany

Consider staying in Albany for Summer Sessions '84.
We'll be offering some of the most sought after courses
at the University — some you may even have been closed
out of during the regular school year. And summer in the
Capital District is something special — see the New York
City ballet and John Houseman's Acting Company, spend
a day at the Saratoga races, catch a SPAC concert,
camp out at the Kool Jazz Festival, or stay home and
catch some rays around the fountain. Summer's a

great time at the University, too. All facilities,

from computer rooms to tennis courts, are
less crowded and class sizes are also

smaller, more personal.

Take advantage of this chance

to move ahead in your studies —
maybe even to graduate early
and save some living ex-
penses. Summer Sessions

"84 makes sense in a lot

of ways!

The Courses

Scheduled courses include
entry requirements for
several majors, Including
business, computer science,
criminal Justice, and social
welfare, And summer is the
perfect time to fulfill general edu:
cation requirements, Most courses
open only to majors during regular
terms are open to anyone during the sum.

Students lobbying last year; Inset: Jim Tierney

Smaller groups are lobbying this year, Tierney said.

Mass lobbying termed ineffective

Pewee
In a show af influence by numbers, over 3,000
SUNY students and professors flooded the Albany
Legislative Office Building (LOB) one year ago in
hopes that their mass lobbying effort would sway
legislators to reverse tuition hikes and

Student leaders that day were ex-

directed into information conferences and later divid-
ed into smaller groups 0 visit the upstairs offices of
their legislator
As former Student Assur jon (SA) President Mike
Corse stood amidst the milling crowd of lobbying
students that day he said, “It is obviously very sue:
cessful and there is talk around the tegislature that they
are overwhelmed by the number of students."*

were coming and most of them were gone
somewhere,"” said a SUNY Brockport student

The experience of last year's massstudent lobby and
its results raise questions about effective lobbying —
what works and what doesn't? Mass lobbying is one
facet of the constitutional right 10 redress grievences
and as such is always welcome by the legislature, said
Assemblyman James Tallon, (D-Binghamion), “but it
basically has little impact." Groups often pack
busloads of people into the LOB to try and influenci
the legislature but this method is ‘outside the process
of legislative decisions," he said

san example Tallon cited what he called a “yearly
spring ritual”? betier known as Motorcycle Day
Motoreyclists yearly come en-masse to Albany 10 pro-
test the helmet taw. ‘I has little influence," said
Tallon, “there is a lot more impact if a small informed
group comes into our office and talks to us about the
issue."*

Tallon added that somehow interest groups have the
feeling that they can ‘force us, but we are nol going to
fund a projeg! just because some group sends its

troops to Albany."

The Student Association of the State University
(SASU) hay a core of highly professional lobbyists, sw
cording 10 Tallon, and are aecepted as legitimate and
informed and relied upon by the legislature for infor
mation, he'added. A SASU lobbyist, Hope Geist

the legislarors and as such are very effective for lobby-
ing, according 1 Schum, Lobbyists who are credible,
honest, reliable and informed will be most influential
with the legistature, he said, Legiskators like informed
lobbyists because, with the increased number of billy
that they have to deal with on a'daily basis, they need
the information that good lobbyisls can provide, add:
ed Schum,

Powerful lobby efforts are not necessarily associated
with big money interests either, he said. Power (0 in-

lobbyists, he commented. “Lobbying concerns pretty
much run the gamut and depend on issues before the
legislature," said Schum,

In his proposed budget, released January 17, Gover

and dorm rent increase for SUNY — $200 more for
tuition and $150 increase in dorm costs — for the
1984-85 school year, But there is more money around
this year says SASU President Jim Tierney and “We
(SUNY) will probably get something back," he addled
In an effort to change student lobbying tactics
SASU has organized small groups of between $0 10 70

legislature every Tuesday since the state budget was
