Groups take action in petting students to register to vote
Staff photo by Jenny Hein
Members of the Empire Coalition used various methods to encourage students to register to vote in November.
By JAN DANIELS
Staff Writer
The Empire Coalition, a com-
bination of several on-campus
groups, held a voter registration
drive Monday, where over 1,500
SUNYA students were regis-
tered to vote for this November’s
upcoming election.
“Students should start using
their voice,” according to Ben
Moran of NYPIRG of SUNY
Albany’s campus. “We found
that around 50% (of students)
aren’t registered to vote. But
once registered 60% to 70% vote
in election,” said Moran “We
want as many students to vote as
possible,” Moran added.
The Empire Coalition, which
consists of Central Council, Col-
lege Republicans, Crew Team,
Executive Branch Alumni, Five
Quad, Fuerza Latina, Inter—Fra-
ternity Council, Multi-Cultural
Task Force, The New York Pub-
lic Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG), Pan Hellenic Asso-
ciation, Student Association of
the State University (SASU),
and University Purple and Gold,
publicized trials of the decade.

After over ten situths of trial time, a jury of ten women and
men found O.J. Simpson not guilty of the murder of his ex—wife
Nicole Brown and friend Ron Goldman.
The verdict came after less than one day of deliberation.
O.J. Simpson, a former football player for the Buffalo Bills,
has been the center of what has been considered one of the most
all played a part in the organiza-
tion of the voter registration
campaign.
Robert Burke, vice-president
of the College Republicans, said,
“I am surprised how many (stu-
dents) are not registered to
vote.”
Zina Cary, full-time NYPIRG
staff person on campus said, “It
is not unreasonable to set a goal
of 3,000 voter registrations by
Friday.” Cary said by the day’s
end over 1,500 students regis-
tered to vote.
“Voting is a right as a U.S. cit-
izen,” said Moran.
Burke said, “This wouldn’t
have been possible without the
coalition...We’re being very
aggressive. We’re storming the
dorms and confronting people.
We will even be at bars getting
people to vote.”

The newly elected Central
Council members were unable to
exercise their voting rights at
last week’s Central Council
meeting because there was no
Chief Justice present to swear
them in.
Council Chair Mike Castrilli
said according to the by-laws of
the SA constitution, no members
can vote until they’ve been
sworn in. “Eric [Brielmann,
Central Council vice chair] and I
feel badly that the members
can’t vote, but it’s not our fault.
We’ ve had this issue with the
President since May,” he said.
“The student body has elected
new members to Council that
cannot have any voting rights
until the Supreme Court is
appointed by the President to
swear them in,” said Jennifer
Zelman, Off-Campus Central
Council representative.
Last Wednesday, SA’ Presi-
dent Larry Kauffman promised
to have the Supreme Court posi-

tions filled.
Kauffman said he is confident
that at least two of the positions
will be filled this week. Andrew
Goodman and Garrett Zito are
both to come before the Internal
Affairs committee this Tuesday
for approval.
Goodman and Zito then will
come before Council this
Wednesday. They must then be
confirmed by Central Council.
Only old members of Council

will vote on their confirmations.
Castrilli did say after the first
justice is approved, he will break -
agenda and swear in the new
members so they could vote on
the second.
Kauffman said he is only
appointing two of the seven
judges now because he doesn’t
want to rush things. “Both can-

By Betty Stein
Claiming they were “harassing
students” on the podium, Student
Association Vice President Rick
Meckler revoked the solicitation
permit of several Socialist news-
paper hawkers Sep 24.
Although the permit was re-
issued within a matter of hours,
the incident has raised important
questions about the extent of
control SA-or anyone-has over
the public sale of newspapers.
“T gave them four warnings,”
said Meckler, who claimed he
received several complaints from
students about the “hard-sell”
tactics used by groups such as
the Young Socialist Alliance to
sell newspapers.
Meckler subsequently told the
hawkers they could not approach
students individually. Instead,
Meckler said they would be
allowed to stand outside and
hold up the newspapers, shouting
whatever slogans they wanted.
American Civil Liberties
Union attorney Greta Powers
however says SA is overstepping
its bounds in making such a
restriction. “Ths Student Associ-
ation doesn’t have and should
ae tually fy rhartedonie-
body, then you can arrest them,”
she said. “Otherwise, they can’t
be restricted.”
SA President Andy Bauman
defended the conditions laid out
by Meckler. “It’s not interfering
with the right of free speech,”
said Bauman. “We’re not stop-
ping them from selling whatever
they want.”
Bauman feels that the hawkers
were the ones overstepping their
bounds. “They were accosting or
harassing the students,” he said.
“There’s no need to go up to
them.”
According to Powers, a simi-
lar case came up in Albany about
six months ago. In this instance,
several people selling Socialist
newspapers at the corner of State
and Pearl were arrested on
‘charges of harassment and not
having a vendor’s license.
The judge ruled in favor of the
hawkers. He held that license
laws are not applicable to politi-
cal literature, since it’s purpose
is to get our ideas, not our
money.
SA lawyer Sandy Rosenblum
feels this is a different situation.
“The State University campus is
not the streets of New York,”
Rosenblum said, stating the issue
is about accessibility.
“What’s effective here is to
call out what they have to offer
or to walk around,” he said,
asserting that students are used

Governor and Chancellor hold secret meetings over SUNY budget
By SUSAN CRAINE
Editor-in-Chief
According to a memo sent out
by Assemblyman Ed Sullivan,
Thomas Barlett, the Chancellor
of State University, Governor
George Pataki, and other chan-
cellors from the SUNY and
CUNY system held meetings
over this past summer to further
cut SUNY and CUNY budget.
The memo said at the meeting
is was “made clear” that the
Governor had ordered the Divi-
sion of Budget, which decides
who gets what money in New
York State, not approve any
expenditures by SUNY or.
CUNY which reflected the
money which was restored to
SUNY and CUNY in the final
version of the state budget which
came out in May.
The memo also stated that
these meetings did not come to
light until two weeks after at a
meeting of the Assembly Com-
mittee on Higher Education.
Sullivan said Pataki had been
meeting with the Chancellors
behind closed door in an attempt
File Photo
to orchestrate the cuts which he
had been unable to do in the
spring.
“What the Governor failed to
do across the negotiating table
during this spring’s budget
standoff, he is now trying to
achieve under the table by these
secret diktats...He wants to
starve SUNY and CUNY into 97
pound weaklings.” Sullivan said.
Sullivan also said that the
Higher Education Committee is
investigating these meeting
which he described as being a
“secret attempt to undo the Bud-
get that the Legislature had voted
and the Governor had signed.”
Zina Cary, project coordinator
for the New York Public
Research Group (NYPIRG) said
that unless students take some
sort of action, these cuts will
probably be implemented.
Cary said, “Students have got
to empower themselves and take
control of the situation. Until
they do that they won’t be able
to do anything. It is obvious that
they are not fooling around, and
if students don’t do something
SUNY and CUNY as we know it
will cease to exist.”

David Cone started in Game.5 of the American League Divi- —
sional Series between the New York Yankees and the Seattle
Mariners. Cone, although he pitched well until the 8th inning,
walked in the tying run. In the top of the 11th, the Yankees went
ahead 5-4, but in the bottom of the inning, a double by Seattle's
Edgar Martinez drove in Joey Cora and Ken Griffey, Jr. to win
the game. Seattle moves on to play Cleveland in the American
League Championship Series while the Yankees look to next
year, facing changes as the Yankee captain Don Mattingly and
manager Buck Showalter do not have contracts.

U of Miami law students angry
when admissions records stolen
(CPS)University of Miami
Law School officials are
scrambling to tighten secu-
rity measures and law stu-
dents are outraged after
learning that hundreds of
private admissions records
were stolen. —
The records, most of
which pertained to black
and Hispanic students in
the law school’s first-year
class, were taken from the
admissions office. Copies
of some of the documents
were delivered to “Res Ipsa
Logquitur,” the law school
newspaper.
School officials said they
believe reporters intended
to use the records in an
article about the effect of
affirmative action on law
school admissions—possi-
bly to demonstrate whether
minority students were
admitted and given schol-
arships despite having
lower Law School Admis-
sions Test scores and
grades than white students.
“Whoever stole the doc-
uments did so with the idea
of attacking minority stu-
dents. It was a pure racist
act,” said Samuel Thomp-
son, the law school dean.
Thompson said he had
been told the documents
mysteriously appeared
under the door of the news-
paper office and that no one
had determined how they
arrived there.
Miami officials said they
are investigating whether
the theft of the records,
which are protected undere
staff, a law school student,
or an outside individual.
Meanwhile, “Res Ipsa
Loquitur” staff members
would not comment on the
material, referring all ques-
tions to Angel Castillo,
their attorney, who said she
had “no comment on the
case right now.” During the
rally, law professor Donald
Jones told students that
whoever stole the papers
had a direct message in
mind.
“This racist demagogue
who stole these papers was
trying to say: you niggers
have a place. You don’t
belong here,”’ Jones said.
The school faculty held a
special meeting ‘at which it
adopted resolutions stating
it was committed to diver-
sity within the student
body.
School officials said
minority students make up
18 percent of first-year stu-
dents and that academic
standards are often evaluat-
ed on an individual basis to
maintain diversity within
the school.

After months of testimony, speculation, obscene
media coverage, dozens of witnesses and special-
ists, the O.J. Simpson murder trial has finally come
to an end with a verdict that has shocked many
people throughout our country. This verdict puts to
an end the most closely watched trial in modern
history. What has this trial shown us about our
American society?. What have we learned about
ourselves?
Russell Schaffer
_ I, like many of you, was in front of a television
set at 1:05 p.m. on October 3rd when the 12 person
jury walked in and rendered their verdict as “not
guilty.” I immediately heard shouts from all corners
of my quad. Some people were cheering in delight,
while others, like myself sat stunned, saddened,
and bewildered. I was disappointed with the out-
come and believed that justice was not served.
Then after the heat of those tense moments passed,
I really thought about what happened in that Los
Angeles courtroom. Twelve people, 10 women, 2
men; 9 African-Americans, 2 whites, and a Hispan-
ic; all Americans, did the job that they were told to
do. Yes, many of us, in fact most of Americans,
think this was a farce, but we must respect and
accept the decision of our peers. There has been a
lot of speculation about how this verdict was ren-
dered so quickly in just under four hours. Did race
have something to do with the verdict? It probably
had some part in it. I say that only “because of
O.J.'s color was he acquitted” would be slightly
demeaning to the jurors. O.J. didn’t get off because
of his innocence or race; he was acquitted because
he is a multi-millionaire celebrity with some of the
most brilliant lawyers in the country.
I am very concerned about how the public may
now see police officers, a group of hard-working
Americans whose duty it is to protect all of this
great nation’s citizens. Granted, former LA police
detective Mark Furman is a vile racist whose use of
the “N” word should be condemned by all of us,
but he is in no way representative of all the other
fine officers who put their lives on the line every-
day. Mark Furman should never have been allowed
to have that position in the first place, nor should
anybody, who holds such genocidal views. The
very sad thing that I learned from this case was
how so many people in our society fear cops and
are distrustful of them. There must be more com-
munication between law enforcement and the com-
munity, especially in minority communities, where
the distrust level is highest. This case has certainly
opened my eyes to that problem.
Most of all, my heart goes out to the Brown and
| Goldman families who have suffered so much these
past months. Two people were butchered and their
killer, or killers, will almost surely never face jus-
tice. So sure is the Los Angeles district attorney’s
office that O.J. Simpson is the murderer, that they
will not re-open the investigation. I pray that one
day the Browns, Goldmans, and Simpsons, will be
able to sleep well through the night. O.J.’s night-
mare of spending the rest of his life in prison may
be over, but for the Browns and the Goldmans
theirs will be eternal. How many of us could ever
imagine something like this affecting us so person-
ally? I also hope this case brings the issue of
domestic violence to the forefront. Perhaps if O.J.
was punished for his proven acts of beating his
wife, this tragedy would never have occurred.
Although we all may have strongly different
opinions on this case, I’m sure almost all of us
could agree that a time of healing must now pro-
ceed.

If I Don’t Get My O.J., I Will Die!
On Tuesday, America and the world stopped at one
o’clock in the afternoon to hear the verdict in the O.J. Simp-
son murder trial. Never before, and hopefully never again,
has the public been over—exposed to this type of coverage
of a trial. Part of this is due to the newest phenomena of
having T.V. cameras in the courtroom. Both the prosecution
and the defense, and Judge Ito played this aspect of the casé
to the fullest extent, and so too did the media. There were at
times more comments made about whether Marcia Clark’s
hairdo was attractive than about the evidence that she was
presenting quite adeptly, and whether or not Robert Shapiro
was wearing a suit that made him look good.
This trial has been often credited as being the “trial of the
century” by many news commentators. Although this seems
a little much (has anyone else ever heard of the Watergate
hearings, or the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings?), it
really is true, for those of the younger generations there has
never been such an event in our lives, and it is very unlikely
it will occur again.
This past year, the media has been projectile vomiting
every single aspect of the case from the chase in the white
Bronco to the eventual not guilty verdict. Now that the trial
is over, we'll still get our O.J. fix with jurors interviews on
Oprah and commentary on CNN’s Crossfire. Everyone and
their granny has some sort of opinion on this case, and no
wonder, because if some aliens tapped into some television
wire, they would be under the impression that this case was
the only thing that was going on in America. Never mind
about Bosina, poverty, teen pregnancy, and cuts to student
aid, We Need O.J., If I Don’t Get My O.J. I Will Die!
It was commented as the verdict came down that there
‘was a possibility that there would once again be riots in Los
Angeles. That is a very amusing thought: imagine seeing a
bunch of WASPs running around expressing all of their pent
up rage over this trial ending. Yeah and there will be a
woman president in 1996. -
Now about the verdict itself. This viewer was wondering
if the jury heard the same thing that I heard, that the chance
of the DNA blood matching being incorrect was about a
million to one (guess not). Then again, putting a racist on
the stand was not the most brilliant thing the prosecution
did. However, that a not guilty verdict resulted did not real-
ly hold that much surprise simply because of the status O.J.
held before, during, and after the trial—a celebrity, more
importantly, a celebrity with money.
Celebrities, especially in this country, have such a pecu-
liar place in our society. They are placed on a pedestal and
are supposed to be representatives of all the good things that
exist in the beautiful land of the free. What this boils down
to is that they tend to get away with everything, and pity
those who try to bring them down a notch or two. So it real-
ly isn’t that big of surprise that a wife—beater can get away
with murder. Stranger things have definitely happened, like
Nixon getting pardoned for sabotaging election campaigns,
and Reagan getting away with selling illegal arms.
Over the next year, don’t be surprised if O.J. continues to
pop up on your T.V. or in the newspaper. He is part of the
addiction America has and which continues to grow daily,
with the need to believe that if this man is famous, then he
deserves attention, no matter what he does or says.
University Life
The new Community Rights and Responsibilities
booklet distributed by the Office of the Vice President
for Student Affairs is based on “ideals” of justice within
the academic community. A university is a place where
Robert P. Burke
“intellectual life is central and where faculty, staff and
students strive together for excellence in the pursuit of
knowledge.” These are noble goals, but are they prac-
ticed?
The booklet continues: “Distinctions based on irrele-
vant differences are ruled out. Ascriptive characteristics
such as race, religion, gender, class, disability, ethnic
background, or sexual preference determine neither the
value of individuals not the legitimacy of their academic
life of the community is worthy of consideration.” This
is, the administration has decided, a fundamental tenet of
any concept of justice.
_ Most faculty, staff, and students would agree with
these goals but they have not taken on the responsibility
to achieve these goals in practice. They are mere words
on this campus that are not taken seriously by anyone.
The faculty, I would argue, has taken the exact approach »
that is antithetical to their ideal of the University. When I
applied to this school I was asked about my ascriptive
characteristics. Was I Caucasian, African-American,
Native-American, or other? Do I have any disabilities?
One could also argue that the EOP program is class-
based, providing aid to only those of a lower-class.
The staff is also guilty of concentrating on “irrelevant
differences.” Try applying for a job on this campus with-
out having to put down what your ethnic background is.
Even the Student Association especially welcomes
minorities and “differently abled persons.” I don’t want
to even ponder what the definition of a differently able
person is.
Students of this campus are also guilty of participating
in this hypocrisy. Dining at Dutch Quad would make this
perfectly clear. The administration sees Dutch Quad as a
cultures and backgrounds have come together to live
peacefully. In accordance with the administration’s ideal
of a campus community Dutch Quad is a disgrace. It is a
product of voluntary segregation. In the dining hall, skin
color, ethnicity, and religion define the seating chart.
This is a major problem which does much harm to race
relations. The Student Association also has held “unity”
dances. The question is who are they trying to unify
when these dances are specifically catered to minority
groups on campus?
_ The faculty, staff, and students of Albany have done
little bridge building when it comes to the social gaps
that exist on our campus. Unfortunately, their actions
speak louder than their words. Our community is bereft
in isolation. What is worse is that this isolation is pro-
mulgated by the very policies of the administration. The
University must be reminded of its mission and ethics so
that wherever members of the University some together
they will uphold the true ideals of “The Community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Mountain
of Evidence
To the Editor:
The long-awaited verdict in the so-
called “trial of the century” has been
delivered. bringing with it the inevitable
controversy. “Not Guilty” was the unani-
mous decision of the twelve citizens
entrusted with the responsibility of weigh-
ing all the evidence from nine months of
testimony.
What happened to the much-hyped
“mountain of evidence” presented by the
prosecution in the State vs. O.J. Simpson?
Was the jury mesmerized by Johnny
Cochran’s brilliant oratorical style, dis-
tracted by “the race card,” or can the Not
Guilty verdict only be explained by a
hasty, emotional, and irrational delibera-
tion? These are the prevailing views pre-
sented by the media. These criticisms
would have some validity if the defense
had presented no hard evidence to support
their contentions. However, upon closer
evidence was collected the day after the
murders.
The glove - The glove found in O.J.
Simpson’s yard has been a subject of
much controversy because it was illegally
obtained under false pretenses by police
officers who had no warrant or legitimate
reason for being on a private citizen’s
property. It was found by the infamous
Mark Furman, who, in taped interviews,
revealed himself to be not only a racist,
but a police officer who had no qualms
about falsifying evidence, lying under
oath, harassing and assaulting African-
Americans, and was confident that he
_ would never be caught because fellow
police officers have either gone along
with or remained silent about these crimi-
nal antics.
If, for the sake of argument, we ignore
all of this and consider the gloves as evi-
dence, the prosecution is still in the
uncomfortable position of explaining why
these gloves, allegedly worn by the perpe-
trator during the murders, do not fit O.J.
Simpson, the alleged perpetrator. The
prosecution speculated that perhaps they
shrank as a result of being saturated with
scrutiny, the “mountain” is reduced to a
handful of specific items, about each of
which the defense team was able to raisé
serious questions and doubt. The prosecu-
tion was unable to explain away this
doubt in cross-examination or rebuttal:
DNA - Surprisingly, in a crime scene
literally flooded with blood, only one sin-
gle drop of blood tested positive for O.J.
Simpson’s DNA markers. All other blood
samples of the alleged perpetrator taken at
the scene were far too degraded for DNA
analysis. How is it that this one drop of
blood, despite being collected by. forensic
experts three weeks after the other blood
evidence at the scene, had not significant-
ly degraded? Perhaps it was because it
contained EDTA, a preservative used to
store samples in LAPD forensic laborato-
ries, a substance which is not found natu-
rally in the human body.
Blood in the Bronco - Much doubt was
raised about the blood found in Simpson’s
car. Firstly, the sparse-quantity (a fraction
of a milliliter) is not consistent with the
prosecution’s scenario in which O.J.
Simpson, after a protracted bloody battle
with two victims and therefore saturated
with their blood, jumps into the vehicle
and races home, with not even five min-
utes to spare before being seen by Kato
Kaelin and the limousine driver. Further-
more, a tow-truck operator who worked at
the lot where the vehicle was impounded
testified that he deliberately opened and
entered the Bronco, specifically looking
for blood, and that he saw none. The
Bronco was also left open and unattended
in a lot where various personnel were in
and out of it, despite strict regulations that
all evidence is to be secured at all times to
prevent tampering.
Bloody socks in Simpson’s bedroom -
A pair of black socks was found in O.J.
Simpson’s bedroom, which contained
blood of Nicole Brown and Ron Gold-
man, supposedly splattered during the
murders. However, nationally renowned
criminalist Henry Lee testified that the
pattern of blood was not consistent with
_ being splattered, spilled or dropped onto
the socks, but with being flatly pressed
onto the socks while they were not being
worn. This is further supported by evi-
dence that blood was found on side one,
side two, and side three of the socks, a
condition which could not occur if the
blood were spilled on the socks while
someone was wearing them, where the
person’s leg would be between sides two
and three. Interestingly, the blood on the
socks also contained EDTA and was col-
lected three weeks after the majority of

blood. A defense expert testified that he
replicated the conditions under which the
gloves allegedly shrank, taking a new pair
of the exact same gloves and saturating
them with blood. In this experiment, the
gloves did not shrink significantly.
Hair and fiber evidence - Barry Scheck,
forensic scientist and defense lawyer,
pointed out that LAPD personnel violated
proper procedure by moving bodies
before collecting hair and fiber evidence.
Therefore the exact location of hairs and
fibers said to be found on the bodies of
the victims cannot be reliably determined.
Furthermore, while hair and fiber evi-
dence can be used to eliminate persons if
it is not consistent with the hair or cloth-
ing of a suspect, it is not specific enough
to positively identify an individual. It can
only be used to suggest, but not to prove,
someone’s guilt. :
This is the sum of ALL the hard physi-
cal evidence presented by the prosecution
that directly ties O.J. Simpson to the
crime scene. Drops of Simpson’s blood
on his own property, when not backed up
by other evidence, are not sufficient to
prove his guilt. Furthermore, it can easily
be explained when one considers that 1.5
milliliters of the blood sample taken from
O.J. Simpson is missing and unaccounted
for. The prosecution’s embarrassing
attempt to explain this only casts more
doubt on their case.
They introduced the unsworn video-
taped testimony by the nurse who with-
drew the blood, in which he suddenly
remembered, several months later, that he
withdrew 6.5 ml of blood, and not 8.0 ml
of blood as he testified in the Grand Jury
hearing. Blood evidence is further called
into question because Detective Vanatter
had O.J. Simpson’s unsealed blood sam-
ple on his person for three hours before
booking it and handing it over for analy-
sis. No explanation or denial of this fla-
grant violation of proper evidence han-
dling procedure was offered.
In light of these facts, the defense’s
contention that O.J. Simpson was framed
by corrupt police officers does not seem
so far fetched, in fact it becomes quite
reasonable. In addition to evidence of
deliberate tampering, there is doubt about
the reliability of evidence caused by
incompetent, careless, and sloppy evi-
dence collecting techniques, forensic. lab-
oratories lacking scientific controls to pre-
vent cross-contamination of samples and
false positives, the inconsistent testimony
of various LAPD criminalists and coro-
ners, and police mishandling of physical
evidence. Even if this substandard perfor-
mance is typical, one would think the
LAPD would go out of their way to do
things by the book for this particular case,
since it has been subject to intense media
coverage and scrutiny by defense experts
since day one.
No doubt it was the prosecutions inabil-
ity to refute or explain this evidence pre-
sented by the defense which left reason-
able doubt in the minds of the jury. Many
of you may not have been aware of the
presence of these unresolved questions,
because of the focus only on the prosecu-
tion’s evidence and the emotional and
dramatic portions of Johnny Cochran’s
argument, while ignoring all scientific
evidence and serious questions raised by
the defense.

NEL Rant
To the Editor:
One of the things I wanted to do if at all
possible was to complain about the NFL. I
know little about sports beyond football
and baseball, and I could care less about
baseball (unless the Yankees get the wild
card then I’ll care). Here’s my NFL rant.
The Giants look really bad this season,
as do the Jets. I know that New York has
shitty weather, but does that mean we
can’t invest in a passing game for one of
these teams? Boomer Esiason alone turns
the ball over more than the entire team
combined and if Dave Brown makes
Chris Calloway impersonate Michael Jor-
dan just to catch one of his passes one
more time I’m gonna throw up. The Jets
shouldn’t have drafted a tight end when
they needed defensive help and a wide
receiver. Oh yeah, you don’t trade your
only pro bowl player for an unproven run-
ning back, either. Herschel Walker is
gonna have zero impact on the Giants (at
least this season). Why Jets owner Leon
Hess thought that Rich Kotite, who
couldn’t win with the ‘94 Eagles, would
have a prayer with the '95 Jets is beyond
me.
If Deion plays offense vs. S.F., does
Jerry Rice get to play defense? I have
three words for Deion: Hanks, Davis and
McDonald. The 49ers still have the best
secondary in football. I just hope when
they play Dallas that anyone but Marquez —
Pope covers Michael Irvin. The Lions
embarrassed Pope Monday night, while
Doug Brein just embarrassed himself. (Is
that Chris Chandler I see hanging out at
the Niner’s camp?) Wayne Fontes knows
he was blessed on Monday night, because
you don’t give the highest rated quarter-
back in NFL history 1:20 to get into field
goal range and win the game on a missed
field goal more than once a millennium.
Giant fans have no illusions, the 49ers
will destroy the Giants on Sunday. The
Giants don’t have Herman Morre, and
regardless of having a good day, Dave
Brown is no Scott Mitchell.
Say what you want, but I really like
Green Bay. Brett Favre is awesome and
he’s more reliable than the beloved Drew
Bledsoe, who’s throwing interceptions
like the name on his jersey is “Esiason.”
Robert Brooks might be a pro bowler
some day, probably sooner than later. The
Packers look a lot better than their divi-
sion rivals right now, all of whom are
expected to do better than them (minus
Tampa Bay of course).
Some final thoughts: How the fuck did
the Rams manage to be 4-0? Oh, they
haven’t played the Niners yet, huh? The
Steelers look pretty bad right now. The
Cowboys are looking really good as long
as they can keep Emmitt healthy. I’m out.
Peace.

White supremacist invited to campus
sparks controversy among residents
(CPS)Montana residents
are protesting a white
supremacist’s appearance
at Rocky Mountain

extremism, saying his
views are—well—too
extreme.
At least three groups of
residents are protesting the
school’s invitation to white ©
supremacist John
Trochmann to speak at the
three-day event, claiming
that his positions. are dan-
gerous and offensive.

that need to be examined,”
said Arthur DeRosier, pres-
ident of the college.
“If we are going to hold
a conference on extrem-
ism, then we need to have
a diverse and open range of
subjects.”
Trochmann, the leader of
the Militia of Montana,
will appear at “The Enemy
Within: Civil Disorders in
American Politics” as part
of a panel on resistance of
the law.
Trochmann will be
joined by Montana’s attor-
ney general and other state
officials.
So far, the school has
received letters of protest
from the American Jewish
Committee, the Montana
Association of Churches
and the Montana Human
Rights Network. But
DeRosier said the protests
come with the territory. —
“If we hope to under-
stand and solve the dark
elements of human behav-
ior, we need to examine
what is out. there,”
DeRosier said. “It is a nec-
essary part of the process.”

Covering University at Albany sports since 1916
Union hands Albany third straight loss, 20-6
By THomas MCMAHON
Sports Editor
The University at Albany foot-
ball team had a needed bye two
weeks ago. After dropping their
second straight and falling to 1-3 |
overall the Danes could use the
two weeks of rest and practice.
Not to mention Albany’s starting
tailback, and leading rusher from
a year ago, quit after the teams
third loss.
After all the time off and
adversity it was back to the bat-
tlefield for the Danes last Satur-
day. Albany traveled to Union
looking revenge a 21-0 loss at
University Field a year ago. The
1994 Eastern Collegiate Athletic
Conference Division III Champi-
on had won three straight after
an opening day loss coming into
last Saturday’s game. Union was
the second consecutive Division
Ill opponent for the now Divi-
sion II Danes.
The game began with an
unusual twist as Albany started
many new players including
freshman Eric Williams at quar-
terback. Williams started
because usual starter Joe Savino
was suffering from tendonitis
and a rotator cuff injury, and
usual backups Tommy Starr and
Luke Byrnes are both nursing
foot injuries.
On the Danes opening drive
Williams brought the team to the
Union 15 yard line until fresh-
man split end Tim Weldon fum-
bled on an attempted reverse.
Union recovered the fumble and
Albany’s threat was over.
After a scoreless first quarter
in which neither team could
muster much offense, Union got
on the board first on a two yard
run by Justin Bourque. The extra
point put the Dutchmen ahead by
seven just 1:26 into the second
quarter.
The teams then traded inter-
ceptions and punts until Union
struck for the biggest play of the
game. The Danes had driven
from their two yard line to
Union’s 30 yard line before Len
Mortimore intercepted Savino’s
pass and ran it back 80 yards.
Savino replaced Williams when
he broke his thumb on a helmet
after completing a 37 yard pass.
The touchdown was the first time
a player returned an interception
for a touchdown against Albany
since 1986.
The Danes were rushing well
in the first half, piling up 145
yards. Jeremy Kachejian led four
runners with 37 yards on four
carries. The Danes passing attack
was absent however. Williams
and Savino combined for three
completions on sixteen attempts
for 63 yards and two intercep-~
tions. These numbers were not
helped out. by the Danes
receivers who dropped seven
balls in the first half alone.
The second half-was more of
the same for Albany. After Savi-
no threw his second-interception
Union connected on a 41 yard
field goal to lead 17-0 with 8:24
to go in the third quarter.
The Danes scored their only
points of the game as Matt Jamin
recovered a Greg Foster blocked

Kachejian added 44 yards on six
carries. Overall however the
Danes offense sputtered and
failed to.put any points on the
board. Union’s defense held
Albany to 274. total yards and
forced five big turnovers.
Albany’s defense may have
been even more impressive than
Union’s, but they were by the
offense’s mistakes. Union com-
piled only 225 total yards and
only 33 yards passing.
Chad Hotaling and Matt Car-
ollo recorded career highs in
tackles with eleven and eight,
respectively. Free safety Ted

a fumble recovery for Albany.
Also, freshman Damin Waring
picked off his first pass as a col-
legian.

' Albany, Jeff Emerson, who had
nine stops, moved into ninth in
tackles with 202, and Savino
moved into third in passing
yardage (2,165). Savino’s three
interceptions-also tied a single
game mark for the Danes.
A question still remains about
who will start at quarterback, but
coaches say Starr will be avail-
able this Saturday. It’s not get-
ting any easier for Albany as
they host 4—1 Southern Con-
necticut State Saturday at 6 p.m.
Cross country teams coming around after slow start

By Eric DAGNALL
Senior Editor
Both University at Albany Cross Country teams were
hoping to continue the success of previous years when
they headed to Saratoga Spriongs to compete in the Capi-
tal District Tournament on October 6.
The Danes were able to shrug off early season disap-
pointments at the Penn State and the Binghamton Invita-
tional’s to finish strong in both the men’s and women’s
events. Both teams finished second in their respective
team competitions.
For the men, Doug Carl had a stellar performance fin-
ishing second against a strong field. His time of 26:57
was 27 seconds off the pace of winner Zane DeJoseph of
the College of St. Rose. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
was able to win the team 8,000 meter event, placing five
runners in the top eight. Shin Ozeni (27:04) and Steven
Elsbree (27:07) led the Engineers to victory over five
teams in the Capital District area. Also in the first eight
were Rich Niro (27:09), Kurt Fitzche (27:12) and Kyle
Beahan (27:14).
Albany placed three runners in the top ten, Carl, Ryan
Osborne (27:19), who finished ninth and Kevin Rahner
(27:27), who finished tenth. ;
In the women’s event, Tonya Dodge continued her
strong season crossing the line in fourth place. Her time
of 18:57 was 47 seconds off the lead runner. St. Rose’s
Amy Houghton.was able to hold off RPI’s Catherine
Moran by six seconds for the Capital District title.
Houghton moved up four places from her position in last
years Capital Districts. Houghton’s performance helped
St. Rose to the overall team victory. Other St. Rose run-
Soccer
ners in the top ten were Nora O’Heaney (18:56) Stacey
Pierce (19:00), Kate Abbott (19:55), and Mary Curley
(20:04). Albany had only one more runner in the top ten,
that being Erin Roach (19:11), who finished sixth.
On September 29, Albany headed to the State Univer-
sity of New York at Cortland to compete against the top
teams of the northeast in the Cortland Invitational.
Both teams were unable to overcome the strength of
the other teams, finishing eighth in the men’s event and
12th in the women’s event.
On the women’s side, Cortland continued their domi-
nance in the women’s competition, totaling 18 points,
three points off a perfect score. Geneseo, Haverford, Get-
tysburg and Houghton rounded out the top five teams.
Dodge was the top Albany finisher, coming in 17th posi-
tion (18:54). Roach wasn’t far behind, placing 19th, three
seconds behind Dodge.
The men fared better than the women, placing
eighth.Haverford won the men’s competition followed by
Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, Gettysburg
and St. Lawrence. Rose had a strong outing, finishing
first of the Albany runners and coming in 16th overall
(25:46). Carl also placed well finishing 27th and second
on the team (26:03). Within the next 55 seconds three
more Albany runners crossed the finish line. Brendan
Howell, Brian Osborne and Kevin Rahner finished in
60th, 62nd and 66th, respectively. ;

end. Top colleges from Divisions I, II, and III, will
