Steeper parking fines meant to deter scofflaws
By Elizabeth Meltzer
‘STAFF WRITER
The $5 fine for parking violations at
SUNYA will soon be a thing of the past.
As of next September, the fines will be
raised to $10, an administration official
said.
A common complaint at SUNYA has
Terrace lots. The large parking lots have
been relined, he said, because the
prevalence of smaller cars has made room
for more spaces.
When asked about the possibility of an
indoor parking lot, such as the one being
discussed at SUNY Buffalo, Hartigan call-
ed the idea ‘‘Prohibitively expensive. . .
especially since students don’t want to pay
the $7 a year charge for on-campus
parking.”
Hartigan called the higher fines a
“deterrent”, not an attempt to raise more
money, and called the increase “‘a conser-
vative amount, compared to other
municipalities.’’ He also said that SUNY
Buffalo has already instated a $10 parking
fine.
Upon bringimg up the idea of pro-
hibiting freshman parking, Hartigan said
that this was not a novel idea, but that
been that there are not enough parking
spaces for students. Not true, says John
Hartigan, Vice-President of Finance and
Business Administration.
Hartigan is in charge of the Department
of Public Safety, Police and Traffic Con-
trol, as well as a host of other respon-
sibilities. He said he conducted a survey in
each of the last two years to assess the
parking situation.
“We conducted a survey on the hour,
every hour fora full week. . . asurvey of
each and every parking lot on campus to
determine whether there was sufficient
parking,”” Hartigan said. “There is no
question that there are enough parking
spaces on campus.””
According to Hartigan, the problem is
that students are unwilling to inconve-
nience themselves by ‘having to park a
distance from their destinations.
“There are no scarcity of parking
spaces. . . it’s only that some are a walk
away,” Hartigan said. He added that the
$5 fine had not been raised in the past 20
years.
Hartigan pointed to improvements
made within the past two years. Indian
Quad has a new parking lot, he said, and
extensions have been created for the
downtown Hawley Library and Thurlow

may think twice.
O’Leary deciding the fate of IAB
By lan Wagreich
NEWS EDITOR
Students and University officials have been debating
for months whether to form an Intercollegiate Athletics
Board (IAB) to help manage athletics on the SUNYA
campus and distribute funds.
The proposed IAB would distribute student funds
through an Income Fund Reimbursable account (IFR),
into which student money would be placed, along with
other monies allocated.
The main argument from students is against the
University’s control over money that the Student Associa-
tion currently donates to athletics. That would be 25 per-
cent of the $103 student activity fee.
Student leaders have called for the University to ‘keep
jts hands off our money.” ;
“Nobody is reaching in and grabbing the student fee,”’
said SUNYA president Vincent O’Leary, implying that
the administration will not forcefully take student money.
“Of course you have the right to your money,”
O'Leary said. “I have no intention of taking the man-
datory fee.””
The issue of the formation of an IAB was mandated by
SUNY chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone last year.
The Athletic Planning and Policy Board already in
place at SUNYA set up a list of recommendations that
outlined the workings of the IAB.
These recommendations go to O’Leary for final
approval.
O’Leary would not comment on the specifics of the
IAB, but did say he would follow quite closely the
language of the policy outlined by the chancellor.
‘A decision on the makeup of the IAB is expected at the
next executive committee meeting of the University
Senate, according to O’Leary.
Although the formation of the IAB has been disputed
by students because of control of funds, students have
complained that a control board is not necessary accor-
_ ding to National Collegiate Athletics Association policy.
O’Leary recommends taking that issue up with SUNY
Central.
““) understand disagreement with the policy, but you
cannot take it up on the University level. It has to go to
SUNY Central,’ O’Leary said, saying he will comply
with the SUNY Board of Trustees’ ruling to form a con-
trol board.
O’Leary could not speculate on the possiblity of a man-
datory athletic fee, but did stress the fact that he would be
making an early decision on the IAB.
As O’Leary poises on the edge of decision to create a
basis for appointment slots for the IAB, another issue
concerns him, the well being of SUNYA in taking the
shock of Gov. Cuomo’s proposed budget cuts.
“I?ll hurt,” O’Leary said. It will have serious implica-
tions on this campus and we will have to look at the whole
program.
“This is a very serious budget,’ O’Leary explained.
“ft will require 75 positions to be reduced.”’ 60 positions
have already been vacated or will be vacated due to the
last cuts, according to O’Leary.
For now O’Leary is entrusted with two important
issues that will clearly reflect on the climate of this cam-
pus. Oo
The ASP understands the University Community's
frustration with the cold weather (of course, we can all
be glad we don't live in Alaska) but today and the rest of
the week give us little to cheer about. Pray for warmer
weather and less snow. It's our only advice.

when he had brought it up in the past he
had received no support and the recom-
mendation had been dismissed.
When asked about the possibility of ad-
ditional increases in the future, Hartigan
said ‘‘it’s possible”’.
Acting SA president Fern Cohen has
said that there is a $10 cap on all parking
fines at all SUNY campuses and that any
change would come from the Board of
Trustees.
According to Hartigan, the increase is
an ‘‘unfortunate necessity’’ due to the ‘‘in-
crease in the frequency of towing in-
stances”’ caused by students ignoring park-
ing restrictions and parking more fre-
quently on ‘‘lawns, fire lanes, and other
restricted areas.”
The actual passing of the recommenda-
tion for the fine increase has not been pass-
ed through the proper channels yet, but,
according to Hartigan, this is just a for-
mality. The proposal must first go
through legal council, then a review board,
and will then be published in a public
register for approximately 30-60 days
before it becomes officially recognized, he
said,
“Then University Council must formal-
ly approve any change. . . that affects
traffic regulations,”’ Hartigan said. oO

Winterfest comes toa
close, Mayfest is next
By Greg Shaub and T. E. Kane
Winterfest’s Club Coke raised approximately $1500
for Special Olympics, according to Student Activities
programing director Edmond Stevens.
Club Coke was a promotional event sponsored by
Coca Cola Inc., according to Nicole Michelson of the
Student Association Central Council Student Com-
munity Committee and co-director of the event.
Those who attended the event held in the Gym, drank
free coke and danced while watching two large video
screens. The video screens displayed footage from Guin-
ness Day, as well as footage of students on the campus
in the past weeks, directors said.
About 500 people attended Club Coke, according to
the directors.
“The turnout was not what we were expecting,”
Michelson said. Those who did attend enjoyed
themselves, according to the directors.
There was also a Snow-Ball Semi-Formal held Friday
night at The Thruway House. About 70 people attend-
ed, according to the directors. Dinner and dancing were
featured at the Ball.
In the Spirit of winter, a ride in a horse and carriage
was also available. ‘Everybody who did ride in the car-
riage enjoyed themselves,” Micnelson s iid. Although
events were successful, some had yy attendance and
other events were cancelled.
Snow football was played despite a poor showing, ac-
cording to the directors. Other scheduled outdoor
events were cancelled. Comedian Gilbert Gottfried
cancelled his scheduled Thursday night appearance on
account of sickness.
Saturday’s day events also did not take place. Stevens
believes the day events will be eliminated from future
Winterfests.
Now that Winterfest is completed, SA is now focus-
ing its attention on Mayfest. ‘‘We are committed to hav-
ing Mayfest,”” Stevens said. According to Stevens,
Mayfest will be a day long event including activities,
barbecue and live music. Approval is still needed from
the University for Mayfest, according to Stevens. o

A Canadian man was killed Sunday

massive head injuries.
Literacy required
Denver
(AP) State officials are studying a pro-
posal to deny parole to illiterate inmates in
an effort to motivate them to learn to read,
Gov. Roy Romer says.
“T believe we have got to overcome the
problem of illiteracy,” Romer said in an
interview with The Denver Post published
Monday.
‘*We’ve got people in prison we need to
rehabilitate, and one of the tools for
rehabilitation is learning to read.’’
PREVIEW OF EVENTS
“I’m trying to think of ways we can
motivate or discipline people into using
that time to acquire the skill of reading.”
If Colorado cannot constitutionally re-
quire literacy as a condition for release,
Romer said, he hopes to develop other
incentives.
Of Colorado’s 6,000 prison inmates, 55
percent do not have a high school degree
or its equivalent. More than 27 percent
read below a seventh-grade level, accor-

Man shot
Maine, N.Y.
Investigators were searching Monday
for a small handgun believed used in a
shooting death originally reported as a
fatal car accident.
Rosalie J. Cutting, 43, of Afton,
Chenango County, was charged Sunday in
the shooting of Clive E. Wildrick, 56, in
Maine. Wildrick’s body was found with
his arm pinned beneath his truck, which
was still running. His body had been drag-
ged before the truck stopped, leading
sheriff’s deputies to suspect an accident.
But forensic testing at Wilson Memorial
Hospital in Johnson City showed Wildrick
had been shot in the head with a small
caliber handgun. Investigators speculated
Sunday that the shooting may have been
over a debt Cutting owed Wildrick.
Woman stabbed
Syracuse
(AP) Twenty police investigators worked
into the early morning today for clues to
the slaying of a young woman who was
found stabbed on her kitchen floor.
A relative concerned because the family
hadn’t heard from her in a while found the
woman lying face down shortly before
noon Sunday, Syracuse police said.
Police believe the woman had been dead
for more than a day, but they said late
Sunday night they were awaiting the
results of an autopsy to pinpoint the exact
time of death.
Negligence claimed
‘New York
(AP) Choking on their grief and anger,
relatives of Pan-Am Flight 103 victims ac-
cused the federal government and the
airline Monday of negligence before the
plane’s bombing and _ insensitivity
afterward.
Thirty relatives, some with photographs
of their lost loved ones pinned to their
clothes, chiefly demanded an accounting
of why the government had not made
public a terrorist threat that such a flight
would be bombed.
The group also demanded the resigna-
tion of Alan McArtor, chief of the Federal
Aviation Administration, saying he had
failed to maintain security, and asked that
Congress investigate the circumstances of
the Pan Am attack.
But in an outpouring of emotion and
frustration, the relatives voiced a litany of
other complaints, ranging from their in-
ability to recover their loved ones’ per-
sonal effects to the handling of the victims’
remains.

4,500 seat arena to upgrade sports complex
Officials say bidding is scheduled to open to contractors this spring
By Greg Shaub
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
The SUNYA physical education complex will be ex-
panded with the construction of a new field house, offer-
ing students more elaborate facilities and alleviating
cramped conditions for sports events.
An athletics fieldhouse is soon to be constructed after
bidding formalities are out of the way.
All planning has been completed for the Fieldhouse,
according to Irving Freedman, SUNY Central general
manager for construction. The blueprints have been
designed by the architecture firm of Mendel and Mesick
Cohen Waite Hall, which is a locally based firm.
“The Fieldhouse is to the 1990’s what a physical educa-
tion complex was to the 1960’s,”” Freedman said. He
describes it as an upscale physical education complex with
“‘more to it.’’ The fieldhouse will feature a 4500 seat

arena, according to Freedman. In addition, it will have

locker space, Freedman said.
The new Fieldhouse will face the front of the existing
physical education building, according to Freedman.
Perimeter road will be re-routed to the south of the
Fieldhouse. A connecting tunnel between the two
buildings is also hoped for, Freedman said.
The new building is badly needed, according to Assis-
tant Vice President for Financial Management and
Budgeting, Eugene Gilchrist. According to Gilchrist, the
old facility was designed for 9000 students. The current
headcount is 16,000, he said.
“The current facility is dramatically undersized. We
need to increase space,”’ Gilchrist said.
The project will be going to bid March 14th, Freedman
said. Bids will be accepted from competing contractors at

removal of the doors has been a very effec-
this point.
Freedman called the project ‘‘substantial.’” He gave a
very general ‘‘ballpark’’ cost of $15 million for the pro-
ject. Freedman expiained that a large project would be in
the neighborhood of the $40 million range.
The planning of the fieldhouse has been unaffected by
proposed state budget cuts. Major projects such as this
that have already been planned are not the target of
budget cuts, according to Freedman. It is the projects in
the proposal stage that are affected by cuts.
The planning for projects similar to this originate on
the campus, according to Freedman. The campus first
makes a proposal. It is then up to the Trustees to make a
decision to go forward, Freedman said. He cited the pro-
posed library expansion as another approved project
originating from the campus. Other projects such as a
proposed Atmospheric Research Center find their con-
ception in the legislature and would be privately financed,
according to Freedman.
You gotta be excited about it,’”’ said Football coach
Robert Ford regarding the proposed Fieldhouse. Ford,
who has been with the University for 15 years said he
thinks ‘‘it’s about time.” Ford also cited the lack of space
in existing facilities.
The new facility will benefit the average student more
than the inter-collegiate teams, according to Ford. The
large arena will attract many events, sporting and other-
wise, Ford said.
‘I am very excited about it,’’ Ford said. ‘‘The only
drawback is that it will take two years to build,” he
added.
Student Dave Salem agrees the facility has been long
needed. “I don’t think the current facilities are ade-
quate,”” Salem said. Salem believes that if there were
more facilities available and they were made available at
night, they would be adequate alternatives to passive hob-
bies such as drinking.
But another student, Lee Marcus, disagrees. He said he
believes the money could be better spent on a scouting
and recruiting system. He would like to see Albany’s
teams climb the divisional ranks.
“SUNY Buffalo is going to Division I,”” Marcus said.
It proves a SUNY can do it.”” i)

Five students were given judicial board
hearings Sunday regarding a fight in
Alden hall two weeks ago, according to
SUNYA’s judicial affairs officer. It was
previously reported that three students
were to receive hearings.
Karleen Karlson, assistant Residential
Life Director for Judicial Affairs and
Mediation, said yesterday that five
students had been referred to the judicial
board. The referrals stemmed from a
Jan. 27 brawl that sent one student to the
hospital.
Karlson said that the board had not yet
reported its findings to her.
One of the students referred to the
board was SUNYA quarterback Pat
Ryder. Ryder was accused by an Alden
resident, Dan Marcote, and by Alden
residence director Melanie McCulley of
stealing Marcote’s wallet, threatening
Alden staff members and using racial
slurs.
Ryder denied those charges and said he
was attacked by six men without pro-
vocation after leaving a keg party in the
hall. Ryder’s friend, Nestor Nicolaides,
was struck in the head with a small bat
and was treated at Albany Medical
Center, reportedly receiving 40 stitches.
Nicolaides’ alleged assailant, Robert
Johnson, and the student who threw the
party were also referred. Keg parties are
forbidden by SUNYA policy.
The identities of the other two referred.
students were not revealed.
Glenn Graham, a member of one of
SUNYA’s three standing judicial boards,
said that the outcomes of referred cases
and resulting penalties are kept confiden-
tial by Residential Life department
policy. oO

Public Safety, said that homosexual activi-
ty has been a common problem in a couple

Henighan said that solicitation and any
other sexual activity is illegal in university
bathrooms and a number of arrests and
warnings have been issued to violators.
He added that some of the violators

a number of the cases have gone

Dry winter uncommon, but not cause for alarm
By Karl H. Reichelt
There is a very popular question around
campus this winter which has nothing to
do with academics or politics but focuses
on a more major dillemma: what is going
on with our weather?
This past week, Monday and Tuesday
were relatively mild with no precipitation.
Then came Wednesday which transformed
the podium from a deserted icebox into
Daytona Beach where temperatures hit 65
degrees. They later fell 45 notches to lead
into our present mess. The ASP asked the
Atmospheric Sciences Department what is
happening?
According to Dan Petersen, a graduate
student from the Department of At-
mospheric Science, “‘the jetstream has re-
mained in a position unfavorable for
snowfall in the northeastern U.S., leaving
us in either a warm or cold and dry
regime.”’ A ‘‘regime’’ simply describes a
weather pattern that persists for more than
a month. Wednesday’s warmth was dash-
ed by a strong Siberian wind which was
carried by the jetstream from the West,
Petersen said.
“‘Whatever is going on up there is cer-
tainly not like a typical arctic Albany
weather. I played hoop outdoors in late
January!’’ exclaimed Dutch Quad resident
Keith Hunter. But from a skiers’ view,
senior Cliff Friedman said “‘this season is
weak, conditions are horrendous.”
“Our current weather is unusual but not
unheard of,” Petersen said, but can
change quickly enough to remind us of
what true winter is all about.
Petersen, along with fellow graduate
student Paul Ashcraft, was quick to point
out that last winter we had a ‘‘heavy”’
December and January as far as precipita-
tion and this year we may be hit in the later ~
months.
Is this a prediction? ‘“‘No way. Any
predictions beyond three days are very
weak. The five day forcasts you hear are
only 22 percent accurate,’’ Petersen said.
Our weather originates from the west
which allows forecasters to see conditions
developing and make accurate predictions
up to three days, he added.
Much to the chagrin of skiers, there ex-
ists a wide variability in terms of snowfall.
For example, in 1969-70 we had 113 inches
of snow, but only 22 inches in 1978-80.
The average snowfall for Albany is 65 in-
ches but we have had only 10 inches so far.
In other words, there is a chance of a con-
tinued light snowfall this season.
When asked if the “‘Greenhouse Effect’’
had anything to do with our warmer days,
both Petersen and Ashcraft as well as
others present in the room shouted an em-
phatic ‘‘No!’’. The Greenhouse Effect in-
volves the increase of carbon dioxide from
pollution in our atmosphere which
prevents heat from escaping into space and
thus “‘warming”’ the earth.
“There exists no trend over the last cen-
tury of any significant warming, to sup-
port the Greenhouse Effect you would
need decades of warming and no snow,”
Ashcraft said. “‘If indeed an increase oc-
curred, it would amount to a mere .05
degrees per year.’”
The main concern over the Greenhouse
Effect involves the increasing of the
temperature rate over the next century,
thus producing a dramatic warming of the
earth.
To prove that the Greenhouse Effect is
occurring would take decades of increasing
average temperature along with abnormal-
ly low snowfall. “‘One or two years of
strange weather doesn’t constitute an
overall change and can give no indication
of weather to come,”’ Petersen said.
In order to keep up with our currently
erratic weather, the Atmospheric Sciences
Department has the latest radar facilities,
along with numerous charts and graphs
displaying current weather schemes.
The department is currently involved in
an $8 million observational study of sea
cyclones, called ‘‘Nor’easters”’ which have
stuck the Northeast Seaboard and Cana-
dian Maritime Provinces. This project in-
volves the development, tracking, and in-
tensity of these storms, along with early
warning to areas likely to be affected.
The complete explanation for this
strange winter stems from air movement,
variability, and mother nature. Although
sometimes it may feel like Spring, beware:
winter is still lurking.
The Atmospheric Sciences Department
says we can expect more snow, ice, and
dlenty of cold for the remaining winter
months, leading to a warmer but wet Spr-
ing. is}

Amateur comedians from universities
around the country will be competing for a
Daytona, Fla. Spring Break vacation, a
trip to attend Comic Relief III, and a
chance at the comedy “‘big time” in the
third annual U.S. College Comedy
| Competition,
On Friday, February 10, in the
Rathskeller, SUNYA comic hopefuls will
get the chance to perform their best three
minute stand up routines before fellow
students and the College Comedy cameras.
Each contestant’s piece will be videotaped
for review by Jerry Seinfeld, a comedy
veteran known to audiences of ‘‘Late
Night with David Letterman’, the
“Tonight Show” and elsewhere.
Four finalists will then be picked from
campuses to compete for the title of ‘‘The
Funniest College Comedian’’ at the U.S.
College Comedy Competitions finals in
Daytona during Spring Break in March.
The sponsors, Certs and Doritos, expect a
minimum of 2000 contestants in the
100-campus search.
Ray Steinman is a publicity agent for
U.S. Concepts, the company running the
event. He said that the main thrust of the
U.S. College Comedy Competition is to
help publicize Comic Relief, a program
Amateur comics to take the
stage for a good cause
and Robin Williams, that raises money to
help America’s homeless.
“We wanted to raise awareness on col-
lege campuses,” Steinman said. ‘There
are millions of issues: pro-life, pro-
nuclear. . . this is one that everyone can
hook on to. Ona closed campus, students
do not see the remarkable amount of peo-
ple who sleep on the streets. (College
students) are the leaders of the future. If
we hit them now, they can do something
about this.””
At SUNYA, the event is being run by the
Class of 1990 and SA. Ed Stevens, from
the Programming Office, said he expects
10-15 comic hopefuls to step up to the
Rat’s microphone this Friday at 4:00. To
promote it, tentative plans include show-
ing clips from last year’s Comic Relief
show in the Campus Center lobby. Come-
dian Carl Guerra, straight from the New
York City Comedy Circuit, will be master
of ceremonies, keeping the crowd loose in
between performances from Albany’s class
clowns.
Steinman stresses that all of the Come-
dians must work relatively clean.
“I like Eddie Murphy as much as the
next guy, but dirty comedians are a dime a
dozen. We want to find someone who can
eventually go on to jobs in TV on the late
night talk shows,” he said. Oo

A people remembers its roots
By George G. Lewis
MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR
The month of February is dedicated to celebrating and remembering the many con-
tributions African-Americans have made to the society. The month of February was
chosen due to the occurrence of many events that helped to shape the advancement °
of African-Americans. These include:
>John S. Rock’s selection as the first black admitted to practice before the Supreme
Court (Feb. 1, 1865)
»Moorehouse College organized in Augusta, Georgia, moving later to Atlanta (Feb.
14, 1867)
»The eloquent Frederick Douglass’ birthday (Feb 14?)
The Greensboro Sit-In which stated when four African-American NC college
students refused to service at a five and dime store ushering the drive for civil and
human rights.
The concept of a Black History Month was conceived in 1926 by Dr. Carter G.
Woodson, historian and founder of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and
History. It was first celebrated as ‘Negro History Week,’’ evolving into ‘Black
History Week”’ in the *60’s and ‘Black History Month” in the ’70’s. Bach terminology
reflected the particular period in the quest for cultural as well as social identity.
Hence it is only appropriate that African-American History become preferred term
of the 1990’s. It is time that African-Americans begin to be identified by our historical
origin — ‘Mother Africa.”’ African-Americans are the only ethnic group that are iden-
tified by skin color, all others are reflective of the country of origin. Irish-American,
Italian American, Polish-American etc. So, why not African-Americans? Father
Lawrence Lucas, a priest-activist and author of ‘‘Black Priest-White Church” sums it
up best by stating ‘*Too many people believe our history began the slave ships... We
come from a continent where G-d, began by deliberate choice, the human civilization.”’
African-American is a step in establishing a link with others who may or may not be
black in skin color but are a part of the African diaspora.
It also provides the young with a sense of identity rather than the characters that are
depicted by the media and Eurocentric historians.
It brings to light the enormous contributions Africans have made to the advancement
of human civilization. As Sicillus, the Greek historian writing in the first century B.C.
states “‘the Ethiopians conceived themselves to be of greater antiquity than any other
nations... They supposed themselves to be the inventors of worship, of festivals, of
solemn assemblies (government), of sacrifices, and every religious practice.”” Q

Fierstein sings symphony from stage to screen
orch Song Trilogy almost neve:
| made the trip from stage to screen.
The powers that be in Hollywood
wanted a handsome leading man of proven
box office clout. That, the reasoning went,
would be the only way to get away with
making a film that deals candidly with gay
life.
Keith B. Lewis
Harvey Fierstein, the author of the play
who also created the leading role on stage,
stuck to his guns. No Harvey, no movie.
Thank goodness.
It is hard to imagine Torch Song work-
ing without Fierstein's Arnold Beckoff, a
lonely man looking for love. Amold is a
female impersonator working at a seedy
nightclub in New York City.
Although he’s had his fling with pro-
miscuity, Arnold’s dream is to fall in love
with a man who loves him “enough”, and
then settle down and lead a normal life.
Of course, normal is a relative term. Ar-
nold thinks nothing of trying on new
ensembles in chic boutiques with his fellow
drag queens, which gives new meaning to
the phrase “don we now our gay apparel”.
He's blunt, almost too honest and is a mar-
tyr in the way he wears his heart on his
chiffon sleeve, but he’s not normal. He's
extradinary.
Torch Song Trilogy starts in Arnold's
dressing room where, in a wildly funny
and tragic monoloque, we find out more
about this man than most movies tell you
about their characters in a couple of hours.
The script takes us on an odd-ysey
journey through Arnold's three main loves
— Ken, a bisexual; Alan, a former pro-
stitute — turned model, who finds his true
self in his selfless love for Arnold; and
David, a troubled gay youth who Arnold
adopts.

‘Along the way, we also meet Arnold’s
mother, a giantess of resentment and bile.
Let's get quibbles out of the way now. This
character, played by Anne Bancroft is a
ludicrous stereotype. Jewish mothers are
favored characters and work well in
movies like Brighton Beach Memoirs,
Crossing Delancey and Beaches. Here, the
character is overwritten and Bancroft fails
to give any variety, playing it all at a stifl-
ing high pitch.
The only other disappointment is at the
very end, when Paul Bogart goes all mushy
and weak in the knees, underestimating his
audience and resorting to novice director
symbolism.
But those are minor sour notes in a
Torch Trilogy that sings with life, energy,
joy and pain, playing less like a song and
more like a symphony.
Fierstein is absolutely hypnotic. His open-
ing monoloque is a masterpeice of colorful
timing. He talks directly into the camera
and graciously invites us into his life. Only
the most insecure of us will fail to be cap-
tivated by this invitation. His wit is slicing-
ly sharp and his wisdom crosses boundaries
of sexual preference. A little plain and a lit-
tle chubby, Fierstein has a dazzle that
eclipses the exterior beauty of many a
handsome leading man with box office
draw.
The various impersonators he works
with are played with extravagant humor
and bitchy charm. As Ken, Brian Kerwin
perfectly captures the journey of asexually
confused man. His glib compliments and
callous insults transform into mature
sincerity and respect as he finds himself by
observing Arnold's life and seeming com-
fort with who he is.
Matthew Broderick seems an odd
casting choice for a hustling homosexual.
The actor, however, sheds his all-American
wise-guy image with a complex, touching
and sincere performance.
Director Bogart, aside from his final-
monent lapse, gives the movie an air of
dignified sleaze in its risque moments, hits
all the comic notes and plays to the sorrow
and pain without getting sloppy.
The tragedy of AIDS has two effects on
Touch Song. It is set before the edipemic,
when gay New York was an irresponsible
sexual playpen. This, in retrospect, casts a
shadow over some of the action. At the
same time it makes the movie a much
needed plea for sanity and compassion in
an era that is seeing growing hatred of
gays.
Yet, all philosophy aside, Touch Song
Trilogy is simply great entertainment —
for both Sexes and all preferences.

A rabbi who has chased his dream
actoss the country from Brooklyn to
California only to discover the frontier has
been replaced by Hollywood?
Keren Schlomy
And what's a poor Hollywood vamp to
do when all she really wants is to be a nice
Jewish girl and meet a young, single rabbi?
These seemingly unlikely suppositions
form the basis of Theda Bara and the Fron-
tier Rabbi, the hilarious first musical from
the team of Hochhauser and Johnson.
Writer Jeff Hochhauser, initially looking to
do a musical about Hollywood scandals,
became fascinated by the true story of
Theodosia Goodman of Cincinnati. Fox
studios created a past for Theodosia and
sold her to the public'as Theda Bara the
Voluptuous Vamp. Hochhauser one-upped
Fox and created the character of a rabbi as
out of place with his world as Theda was
with hers.
Composer Robert Johnson hooked up
with Hochhauser at a musical theatre
workshop at which Hochhauser was
reading from his book Theda. Unfortunate-
ly neither Johnson nor Hochhauser had ex-
perience writing lyrics, a task they share
for Theda. After five years, the end result
of their efforts is a humorous show with
catchy music and unmemorable lyrics. Not
that the songs were bad — far from it.
However, one is hard pressed to remember
any of them after leaving the theater.
Although the story leans heavily on yid-
dishisms for its humor (eg. ‘shieks and
shiksas’) most of the audience understood
the intent behind the jokes if not the actual
meanings of the words themselves.
Ellen Margulies as Rachel, the Rabbi's
sister, played a wonderful Yenta, or mat-
chmaker. She brings to the part of Rachel
the same loud, funny energetic innocence
she showed as Princess Winnified in Once
upon a Mattress at ESIPA last October.
Despite the story’s center arond Theda and
Rabbi Isaac, Rachel makes sure to claim her
Led Zep songs that

rom the opening burst of “Com-
munication Breakdown” in early
1969, Led Zeppelin had America at
its knees, Evidence can found no further
than the turgid AOR radio format, which
has anointed Page, Plant, Bonham, and
Jones as the high priests of heavy rock, or
pale-faced imitators such as Whitesnake or
Kingdom Come, who liberally extrapolate
Page's riffs and Plant's vocal angst into
their own second-hand recounting of the
Zeppelin fable.
Richard Crist
So it's refreshing to see Zeppelin classics
treated a little less reverently on the com-
pilation The Song Retains The Name,
which features, according to the cover, “11
struggling young bands (who) interpret
some of Led Zep’s most bitching tunes.”
The compilation makes sense. After all,
we grew up under the Zeppelin’s long
musical shadow, so it’s only fair that their
musical progeny get to deliver a tribute,
even if it is a slightly back-handed one.
Imagine “Good Times, Bad Times”
delivered with a Lou Reed vocal style,
courtesy of the Dalai Lamas, or a David
Bowie feel applied to “In The Evening” by
Twice Shy. How about the meditative
“What Is and What Should Never Be” turn-
ed into a funk burner by Helen Keller

A younger couple, played by Erika

What in the beginning seemed to be an
almost lyrical and irritating attempt at
handling Albee's chatter and style, became
a superbly specific commitment to creating
an anxious message regarding the human
capacity to compensate.
The relationship developed between
Fisher and Connors was outstanding and
the presentation of their technique, polish-
ed and consistent. Newell invested quality
energy into George and Martha’s apparent-
ly intellectual inferior. And Lewis provid-
ed the audience ‘with a character who re-

Michael Smith designed elegant yet ver-
satile sets that lent themselves to quick
changes — even during the course of the
scene. Theda’s Hollywood movie set of the
first scene is deftly turned into.a moyie
theater in scene two where a Theda Bara
movie is showing. Only once is the au-
dience left in the dark between scenes as
actress Deb Girdler changes characters
from lusty Lulu to temple-going Fanny
Flushing.
Subtitled “A ‘shameless’ Musical Com-
edy”, Theda Bara and the Frontier Rabbi is,
at the very least a most entertaining ex-
perience. Playing at the Cohoes Music Hall
through February 12th, it is well worth the
short drive. There’s not a bad seat in the
house. ia

I. Comeback of the Week:
Now that Casey Kasem is back on the air with
“Casey's Top 40,” we hear that he’s going to send out a
long distance dedication to Shadoe Stevens: Aerosmith’s
“Dream on.”
Within a confined, cluttered and in-
timate space, the audience was informed
that, in terms of sanity, and art, there are
no such things as boundaries. a
Keley. What's more suprising than the
song's translation is how easily the song
and its cadence fit into the rap format. Rich
Hardesty and The Del Reys turn the nor-
mally bright “Living Loving Maid” into a
stripped-down, rockabilly raver, that
lends the already dark lyrics more bite.
“Rock ‘n’ Roll” one of the tracks that best
epitomizes the Zep’s, takes a turn south, by
way of the Mississippi Delta, where it’s
transformed into a bleaker 12-bar blues
reading by Tent Poles. The lush "Down By
the Seaside,” redone by Robert Kuhlmann
and Flying Boats, switches gears from dark
atmospherics to discordant riffing, and
"Four Sticks,” a moody track from the
fourth Zeppelin record, becomes
danceable thanks to Earwigs.
2. Vacation tip of the Week:
If you already have plans to spend your Spring Break
in Alaska, cancel before you lose your deposit.
3. Getting away with Murder Award of the Week:
Joel Steinberg.
4. Cola bombshell of the Week:
Now that Pepsi signed Madonna for $10 million and
Coke signed George Michael for $4 million, we heard
— RC signed Neil Sedaka for all the cola he cou'd
There are even covers fairly faithful, in-
dluding a crashing rendition of “Immigrant
Song” by Headface and “House of the Ho-
ly,” from Physical Graffiti, covered by
The Fool Killers.
As refreshing as the compilation is,
perhaps what's most evident after a listen is
how well the Zeppelin compositions stand
both the test of time and wacky interpreta-
tions. And while Page, Plant and Jones, the
groups three surviving members probably
won't count too much in the way of
royalties from this independent release
(royalties they really don’t need anyway) I
think somewhere, the three are smirking
right along, after listening to the compila-
tion. At the least, it's better than
Whitesnake or Kingdom Come, and a lot
closer to the spirit of the real thing. i
5. Movie Review of the Week:
The title of John Candy's latest film should not be

Rebuilding
Spirit
SUNY Albany has always suffered from
a lack of pride—an ailment often
diagnosed as apathy. Although this school
has never been known for an overwhelming
sense of ‘‘school spirit’’, there are always
several groups of people trying to cure the
students of the I don’t care attitude. The
problem is that very often these groups are
frustrated when nobody seems to care
about their efforts.
It’s not easy to build a school spirit from
scratch, but it is not impossible. In order to
get students interested, you have to grab
their attention, and the best way to do that
is through programming.
When the right events are programmed,
a lot of students will show up and make
these events a success. When programming,
an effort has to be made to reach as many
students as possible, and the only way to do
that is through cooperation. When Sigma
Alpha Mu and Speaker’s Forum put their
heads together last year, they brought ‘‘Dr.
Dirty’’ to campus—a show that was one of
the more popular in the recent years.
Working with the Greeks, who have an
ever-increasing voice in the social activities
of this campus, might help increase student
interest and decrease student apathy. After
all, that is the main idea behind
programming.
The administration also needs to realize
how important school spirit is, and should
work with student groups on planning
events, rather than fight them. Turning
down a proposal for a Mayfest on the basis
that it might draw too large a crowd does
nothing for the fight against apathy.
It doesn’t all rest in the hands of SA, the
Greeks, and the administration. What’s
lacking is a large student input. More
students have to stop with the ‘I don’t care’
attitude and get involved. If students are
angry because they’re being offered
nothing, then it’s their job to do something,
aside from just complaining. Nobody can
expect all these groups to work together if
the average students aren’t willing to help
out. If everyone were to help a little, then a
sense of pride in the school could be built,
and apathy could be a thing of the past.
Destroying
Hopes
How can you expect anyone to have
pride in a school that looks like a train
wreck every Monday morning? This past
weekend someone destroyed the ASP
distribution bins on Indian Quad, threw
papers all over the Skinroom, and broke
furniture and windows. This sort of
vandalism goes along with graffitti and
larson as among the most senseless and
frustrating actions. Many people work
countless hours to produce the paper that is
trashed, fix the furniture that’s broken,
print the posters that are burned, and clean
the graffitti that litters our walls. The
vandals should realize that they’re
destroying someone else’s property and
someone else’s hard work. If the ASP can’t
deliver to a quad because some children are
too destructive, then that’s a shame—a
shame for those who take some pride in this
school and for the people who work so
hard to do something that nobody will ever
see.

Racism and Cosmetic Change
“When confronted with social inequity, the U.S. would
modify or embellish the existing class and race structures
but it would not change them. ‘Reforms’ have subsidized
more Black college students...expanded voter registration
and even upgraded the Black middle class. But these
reforms are cosmetic. They do not abolish exploita-
tion...because they do not alter the relationship Blacks
and women have to the material base of the economy.”’
—Robert Christman
— Cosmetic change is a way of life in the United States.
The U.S. government, with very active collaboration
from the media has responded to the crisis of the sixties
and seventies by drowning the demands of the oppressed
in this country with a deluge of cosmetic change. A
generation of U.S. citizens have grown up with a total in-
ability to see beyond the thick lacquer which has been ap-
plied over the lurid scars that are embedded in the very
fabric of this society. They can see that the fundamental
conditions have not changed. But, unlike the generation
of the sixties, who knew that to get anywhere they had to
organize, fight, and learn, and challenge the institutions
that perpetuate the racist nature of this society, this
generation accepts the cosmetic solutions to a problem
that runs more than skin deep.
Sean P. Lewis
It is obvious to anyone with eyes in his head that the
fundamental conditions of racism have not changed.
Forty-five percent of Black children, as opposed to only
fifteen percent of white children, live in poverty. Poverty
hits Black people three times as hard as it does white peo-
ple in this country. Unemployment hits Black people
twice as hard as it does white people in this country. If
there seems to be a discrepancy between three times and
twice with respect to poverty and unemployment, that is
because, although poverty is often caused by unemploy-
ment, there are millions of working people being paid
well below the poverty datum line. Reagan and Bush have
claimed to have significantly reduced unemployment.
They are notably silent on the question of poverty, or
they stammer and refer to “‘a thousand points of life...er,
light.””
"Racial violence is on the rise. The justice system is
notorious for its unequal and racist dispensation of the
law to Blacks as opposed to whites. Native Americans,
whose blood was the price to pay in the purchase of the
United States, still have nothing to be thankful about at
Thanksgiving. Immigrants from Latin America, often
fleeing from terror, oppression and repression sponsored
by the U.S.A. in their own countries, lured by promises
of the land of opportunity, find that the only opportunity
they have is to be relegated to the position of second-class
citizens. The injustice and inequity of the U.S. is evident
for all to see, including the generation of cosmetic
change.
What is, however, proferred to them as solutions? Af-
firmative Action! A just and necessary means to redress
the wrongs of a racist society? Yes, of course, but it is not
by any means enough. Getting ‘minorities’ elected to of-
fices of authority in politics and business? Yes, of course,
but this is also not enough. Competing with power
brokers in the sphere of economics? For what, so that we
can have Black people become part of the oppressive and
exploitative minority in a system which fosters the ex-
ploitation of the many by the few. Reliving the sixties
with its tie-dies and general rejection of the establish-
ment? Wrong again. The time is different and the objec-
tive conditions determining the nature of our struggle has
changed. We should only go back in time if it will help us
go forward in history. Education, the ultimate liberator
bacause, if your mind is free, then you are free? A decep-
tion and a mistake. Education has too long been a tool
for imparting the dominant culture and for educating
people for servitude. If education in the U.S.A. can be
said to liberate the mind, it is only liberating it from the
compulsion to think critically and analytically, to see
through the cosmetics, and to devise strategies to expose
and destroy the ugly face under the makeup.
Professor Manning Marable defines democracy as
“not any particular form of government, but rather the
broadest possible participation of citizens in the process
of governance.”’ This does not mean only twenty-six per-
cent of registered voters vote for Reagan, as happened in
1980. Even less does it mean voting people into powerful
Political positions, and not constantly telling them what
to do while in power, or recalling them if they do not
satisfy. It is clear that this is not a democracy that exists in
the U.S., because there is no broad Participation of the
citizenry in the process of governance. In fact, this
undemocratic U.S. system of government has
systematically disempowered its populace.
What is there to do?
Incidents of naked racism have increased and, as a
result, students all over this country have been standing
up and demanding that changes be made. Campuses have
been aflame with sit-ins, marches, demonstrations, and
other forms of angry protest. University administrators
have been hauled over the coals, racist individuals and
groups on campuses have been roundly denounced.
Somehow, though, all this seems to be missing the point.
If the problem is that the system has disempowered the
populace, the solution has to lie in the populace taking
back the power which has been so cleverly taken from.
The heroic strugglers of the sixties had a number of
essential features which should serve as models to the pre-
sent generation who can see that the foundation of this
society is rotten, but have been cleverly tricked into help-
ing to apply the makeup. The struggles of the sixties were
united struggles. The goals were limited in number, not in
scope. The students played an important role, but the
struggles were that of a wider community, not just that of

Gender Stereotypes
To the Editor:
Last semester, Mary Lynn wrote a lengthy, misinform-
ed letter describing her ‘‘pseudo-liberated views” on
women’s roles. I regretted not responding to her at the
time but with much luck, here she is again, on men’s
roles.
Yes, Mary, we women are quite the complainers.
Despite the fact that women still only earn sixty-five per-
cent of the average male salary, that one of the leading
causes of death among women is male violence and that
the leading poverty-stricken household is run by single
mothers, we dare to call this a ‘‘man’s world’’. Why, as
you point out, it’s much more difficult to be a man in this
society. The confusion behind picking up the dinner
check alone could be an earth-shattering experience. Not
to mention being denied the privilege of make-up and ac-
cessories. Oh, to never experience the joys of anorexia,
bulimia and crash diets, or wearing girdles, corsets, and
high-heeled shoes that often deform bone structure in the
upper thighs and midriff. My heart bleeds.
And to add to all this the anxiety of knowing that ALL
women want to use them for money, prestige and power,
to ‘‘kick their asses’ on the job, and then demand they
buy us expensive dinners, (sounds like a subversive plot to
me) leaves men to nothing more than a quivering mass of
ego.
First of all, your overall gross generalizations of male
and female values are probably a result of too much
daytime T.V. Your labelling is not only blatantly sexist
against men and women, it’s extremely offensive. Where
do you get off deciding that all men use women for sex,
and all women use men for money?
Secondly, if your grievance is with the way society dic-
tates sex roles, why do you go so far to reinforce those sex
roles? If you continue to believe that men should be
devoid of emotion, built like Arnold Schwarzenegger and
the “‘protector’’ in a relationship, men will continue to be
anxious about their gender roles. Men and women both

should have the opportunity to develop free of the
stereotypes society places on them.
Thirdly, if you are in the process of calling yourself a
feminist, (it’s quite unclear, you define Feminist Alliance
as a man-hating organization in your first letter, although
it may interest you to know there are male members of the
group) you definitely need to research what feminism is
and gain a deeper understanding of how stereotyping op-
presses people in our society, particularly women and
Afro-Americans.
In addition, women should not be expected to thank a
man for an objectifying comment received on the’street.
It’s not merely harmless admiration, it’s a way of reduc-
ing a person down to nothing more than their physical ap-
pearance and it’s degrading to the person involved.
And finally, all women do not share your views and
opinions, so in the future, speak for yourself.

License to Write
To the Editor:
T have read the ASP for four years and until now have
reserved my comments on its contents. After reading the
February 3rd Aspects column, ‘‘Notes of Aspiration”’, I
had no choice but to respond.
I found it. wholly ironic and amusing how Ms.
McDonald excoriated today’s pop music songwriters for
their abuse of the poetic license. She made a short list of
popular songs which were denounced as inane because of
their inability to make us ponder the existential. I am
curious why anyone would listen to pop music to pique
their philisophical interests.
Perhaps the ASP should have a column dedicated to
the monitoring of other such abuses of the poetic license
such as in the creative sections of the newspapers.
I agree that the lyrics of today’s pop music are often in-
ane, but indeed no more inane than what we witness
everyday in the visual and printed media.
—Raymond V. Santora,Jr.
BASIC Ignorance
To the Editor:
We are concerned about the misinformation which is
being perpetuated by the group BASIC. Not only has the
group spread inaccurate information concerning the
transmission of AIDS, but they are preaching bigotry and
homophobia as well. Last semester, the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance sponsored an AIDS Awareness Day in which
1,000 free condoms were distributed and factual informa-
tion put out by the New York State Health Department
and the Northeast AIDS Council was distributed. Anyone
wishing correct information on transmission of AIDS is
more than welcome to stop by our office (CC333) to pick
up pamphlets, which are available either in English or
Spanish.
Despite our ongoing efforts to inform and educate the
public, the pamphlet that BASIC has been handing out in
the Campus Center encourages SUNYA students to view
Lesbians and Gay men as pathetic, unstable, and in need
of psychiatric and spiritual guidance. Blanket statements
such as these are ludicrous. Lesbians and Gay men are
lieutenant governors, business executives, members of the
clergy, professors, psychiatrists, psychologists and
counselors, to name a few. We are everywhere! We are no
less stable than any other segment of the population.
Some of the people we talked with at the BASIC
meeting implied that‘‘homosexual desires’’ are inspired
by the Devil. Again, nothing could be further from the
truth, Lesbians and Gay men are labelled in accordance
with those whom they love emotionally, spiritually and
sexually. And, love is the operating word here. According
to twentieth century theologians, love is an act of divine
inspiration, not an act of the Devil. In addition, the
members of BASIC are laboring under the illusion that
“homosexuality’’ is analogous with and can be compared
to child sexual abuse, incest, and other criminal acts. Yet,
ninety-six percent of all child sexual abusers are
heterosexual men, and over half of these men are mar-
ried. Rape is by and large an act which is committed by
men against women, and again, approximately fifty per-
cent of rapists are either married or in a long-term
relationship.
The overwhelming majority of Lesbian and Gay rela-
tionships occur between two consenting adults (i.e. no
threat of force or coercion.) Thus we strenuously object
to the ignorance behind BASIC’s statements on Lesbian
and Gay relationships. We wholeheartedly believe that
true happiness stems from self acceptance and self love.
When a Lesbian, a Gay man, or any person for that mat-
ter, is asked to deny or to stop loving an integral part of
her or his identity in the name of religion, a much greater
“‘sin’’ has occurred.

Comedy Competition
To the Editor:
Those people who are constantly cracking jokes or who
just have a funny streak will finally get their big break to
perform before an audience. On Friday, February 10th, a
comedy competition run by U.S. Concepts,Inc., and
sponsored by the Class of 1990 will be held in the Ratt
from 4pm. to 7pm.
All students are invited to sign up by calling Ed Stevens
at 442-5640, or Brian Voronkov at 442-6091. Each three-
minute standup routine will be videotaped and later
reviewed by U.S. Concepts’s judges. A finalist will be
chosen from our region and will be flown to Daytona
Beach, Florida, during Spring Break to perform in the
finals. The winner will then have an opportunity to per-
form in a major New York club, such as Dangerfield’s or
The Comic Strip.
This is truly the opportunity of a lifetime for any aspir-
ing comedian. It also gives the rest of the students a
chance to support their fellow students by cheering them
on. So please come down to the Ratt on Friday, February
10th, for a great time and some good laughs.

Ozone Anxiety
To the Editor:
Have you noticed the weather lately? Well, I don’t
know about you, but two days of snow in January seems
unreal to me. I think that we must make the students
aware of the fact that we are the major contributors to
this warm winter.
While I am aware that many people are enjoying the
warmth of this winter season, we must realize the causes
of this unusual warmth. By the use of aerosol in the forms
of hair spray, deodorants and many household items, we
are destroying the ozone layer. The ozone layer is a thin
layer found in the stratosphere. The ozone layer itself is
as thin as a dime, but this layer is what protects the earth
from harmful amounts of ultraviolet solar radiation. The
effects of ultraviolet radiation are such things as skin
cancer and the destruction of acids in the DNA molecule,
which is responsible for transmitting the hereditary
blueprints from one generation to the next. I don’t think
that a simple request of non-use of the previously men-
tioned household items is too much to ask. For if we con-
tinue to use these items it will mean the destruction of our
environment, our bodies, and our lives.

the ivory tower institution.
The ivory tower conception of college seems to condi-
tion students to think of themselves in isolation from
their parent communities. This narrow, parochial think-
ing often carries over into their working lives, so after
students graduate, they see their personal and individual
struggles as the totality of existence, and in total isolation
from the rest of their communities. Divide and rule is the
formula for the continued domination of the majority by
a minority. There is no unity, of action or of purpose.
There is no clarity as to the primacy of building organiza-
tions with their feet in the struggles of the grassroots,
their eyes on the wielding of their united power for the
common good, and their hands joined together in unity.
Until the struggles of the students are guided by the in-
terests and aspirations of the oppressed and exploited
parent communities; until the students unite in thought
and in action behind the flag of democracy; until that
time, all of the student activism on the campuses will be
mere exercises in applying the cosmetics that conceal ihe
Scars on the face of the U.S. system of government.
Rabid and radical rhete: md posturing will not bring
victory unless it is tied to the popuiar strug! Jor justice
and equity. The racism that we so often feel on the cam-
pus, but often cannot exactly pinpoint, is a product of the
racism outside, not a reflection of it. Therefore, the strug-
gle against that racism must be guided by and be integral
to the struggle against the racist and unjust system as a
whole.
The SASU POCC charter states:‘‘We need a radical
anti-racist movement: a movement which seeks to achieve
far-reaching and fundamental social change so that we do
not continue repeating the past. We must indict the entire
system of racism, pointing out its intrinsic nature and not
simply individual instances.’’

Observers attribute the scram-
ble for students to corporate con-
cern that there won’t be enough
grads to hire in the future.
A recent U.S. Labor Dept.
study predicted one million fewer
young people will enter the job
market during the next decade
than during the 1970s.
“We are doing everything we
can to prepare for the shrinking
labor market,’’ said Trudy
Marotta of the Marriott Corp.
Victor Lindquist of “Nor-
thwestern added companies also
are hiring because the companies
themselves expect to prosper.
Sixty-one percent of the firms
NU surveyed throught they’d be
more profitable in 1989 than they
were in 1988.
“Corporate America is confi-
dent the economy will remain
strong despite concerns by so-
called experts about the volatile
stock market, the deficit,. trade
balance, megamergers and the in-
creased competition in the
marketplace,” Lindquist said.
His report closely followed an
early December survey of 14,000
employers by Manpower, Inc., a
temporary employment services
company.
Twenty-two percent of the
companies expected to add to
their workforces during the first
three months of 1989, while 11
percent foresaw staff reductions.
“We were a bit surprised at the
hiring strength indicated by those
figures,” Manpower President
Mitchell Fromstein said. ‘‘After a
year in which three million new
jobs were added to the U.S.
workforce, we expected to see a
slowing down of job formation.”

Stolen check passed
The Barnes and Noble bookstore was
the scene of yet another crime last week.
On Jan. 25, a woman attempted to
purchase several items with a stolen
check. According to John Henighan,
assistant director of the Department of
Public Safety, the woman handed the
check, with a forged signature, to a
cashier. The cashier recognized the check
and went to verify its status. The woman
then tried to leave with the goods she had
attempted to purchase. The woman, a
student living on Indian Quad, was
quickly apprehended.
“So far, she’s been charged with
possession of a stolen item in the second
degree (for the check) and larceny (of the
items),”” Henighan said. ‘‘For the count
of larceny she has not been charged,” he
continued.
The manager of Barnes and Noble
refused to comment as the woman thas
Civitillo resigns; Whelan to
chair College Republicans
By T. E. Kane
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
The Chairman of the College
Republicans, Victor Civitillo, is resigning,
and Rory Whelan will assume the post.
Whelan has been an active member of
the College Republicans on campus, and is
a member of Central Council.
Whelan will concentrate on several
“issue orienting’ programs by com-
municating the Republican agenda to the
college community. He plans to have more
speakers and debates.
Whelan also plans to begin a job talent
bank that will pool SUNY students in-
terested in working for Republican
legislators of the Capitol.
The national trend in the last few years
has been the Republican party appealing to
more minorities and women. Whelan
would like to continue this on the Albany
campus.
“I would like it to be a party of inclu-
sion, having all races and religions involv-
ed in the Republican party,”’ Whelan said.
“T think the party is changing from its
traditional WASP orientation.”
The two most important issues facing
the campus at this point is Governor
Cuomo’s proposed budget cuts, and the
TAB issue, according to Whelan.
“The Governor’s proposals are in-
dicitave of his longstanding view against
SUNY,”’ Whelan said, ‘‘and I feel that the
cuts are too deep.’”
In regards to the IAB issue, Whelan
said, “I believe that the students should
keep control of their money. .. it’s our
money, and we know what to do with it.’’
The elections in the fall are also a con-
cern for the new chairman. During this
semester, he plans to actively pursue
potential candidates for all elected offices
on campus. Oo

The rooster was killed when it hit the

a way that it lands safely. This is the first

“This time I forgot to look out for it,
and was feeling pretty bad that I forgot to
warn the students,’’ she said.
In retrospect, McDermott said she
should have known the time for the prank

Smokers find college a tough place to indulge in their habit
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE— It’s
getting harder to be a cigarette
smoker on American campuses.
A number of schools have an-
nounced even tougher smoking
restrictions in recent weeks.
From Big Bend Community Col-
lege in Washington state to the
East Coast, campuses that began
limiting student smoking as long
as a decade ago have taken the
last big step this school year:
“Smoking is pretty much bann-
ed now” at Big Bend, spokesman
Doug Sly reported of new rules
Tulane, Mankato State, and
Southwest Missouri State univer-
sities also have restricted campus
smoking.
School officials cite health con-
cerns as the reason.
“We have practical, even moral
reasons to restrict smoking,” ex-
plained William Hetrick, director
of Penn State’s human services
department.
“Colleges need to recognize
young people are at a volatile
point in their development of
habits,” said John M. Pinney, ex.
stitute for the Study of Smoking
Behavior and Policy. ‘Colleges
can influence their young people
by letting them know smoking is
not acceptable.”’
“Colleges are employers, and
as employers they have a respon-
sibility to their employees and
students to ensure a healthy
workplace,’’ Pinney added, citing
the 1986 Surgeon General’s report
that said second-hand smoke can
lead to cancers and heart disease
for nonsmokers, too.
Some feel colleges are not
however.
“We must continue to do bet-
ter in helping present smokers
give up the habit and do MUCH
BETTER in encouraging young
people not to start,” Longest
wrote in the ACHA’s policy
Paper on smoking ,which callls
for tight limits on campus tobac-
co use and substantially increased
educational efforts.
Better-educated people, the
U.S. Public Health Service found
in a report released in late 1988,
respond better to anti-smoking ef-
the proportion of college
graduates who smoked decreased
from 28 percent in 1974 to 18 per-
cent in 1985. For people without
a college degree, the decrease —
from 36 percent in 1974 to 34 per-
cent in 1985 — was much more
modest.
But even among the new cam-
pus bans, there are signs college
students may be smoking more
again.
Some 10.1 percent of this year’s
freshmen, up from 8.9 percent of
last year’s first-year collegians,
implemented Jan. 1. ecutive director of Harvard’s In- educating
students
enough, forts than less educated citizens:
15>
In 1976, Penn State University
was one of the first U.S. cam-
puses to ban smoking everywhere
except certain dorm rooms.
“It’s too strict of a rule. I have
a smoking habit and I don’t feel
like standing out in the rain or
snow (to smoke),”’ said Penn
State senior Mary Helen Moran.
Stanford University in 1988
banned smoking even at outdoor
events.
“Some colleges have been set-
ting the pace’? said Dr. John
Longest, the former Mississippi
State University student health
center director and American
College Health Association
(ACHA) official who has led ef-
forts to combat smoking on cam-
puses for several decades.
The drumbeat of new restric-
tions has been constant.

Surveys say 1989 graduates enjoy ‘healthy job market’
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE — The
job market for this year’s college
grads is booming.
“There’s no question about
it,”’ reported Angie Aschoff of
Linn-Benton Community Col-
lege’s placement office in Oregon,
“the number of jobs advertised
‘with us is up this year.”
It’s happening nationwide.
Two major annual surveys,
released in December, of national
corporate hiring of new grads
both predicted a happy spring.
Northwestern University’s
Lindquist-Endicott Report
predicted an 8 percent jump in
corporate demand for graduates
with bachelor’s degrees. Those
graduates will receive starting
salaries that are an ave.:2e 4.6
percent higher than those
garnered by the Class of °88.
Starting salaries with new
master’s degrees should be 3.5
percent higher than last year’s,

does not paint as rosy a picture, it
does predict ‘‘new graduates will
face a healthy job market.’’
MSU asked 427 corporations
about their hiring plans. In
response, the firms expected to
make 3.1 percent more job offers
to students this year, and said
they were especially interested in
hiring more women and minority
grads.
The boom is better for some
students than others.
“Engineering, accounting and
health professions are our most
sought-after graduates,”’ said
DeBow, while Linn-Benton’s
Aschoff finds clerical, nursing
and automotive students in high
demand.

Michigan State researchers said
electrical engineering majors will
be in the greatest demand, follow-
ed by marketing and sales, finan-
cial administration, mechanical
engineering and computer science
majors.
The Northwestern survey
found that technical grads will
make the most money. Engineer-
ing majors can expect to earn
$30,600, up from $29,856 in 1988.
But the biggest salary jump will
be in sales and marketing, up 8.8
percent to $25,560.
The Southwest, according to
the Michigan State report, will of-
fer 1989 graduates the most new
jobs, followed by the Northeast,
the Southeast and the North Cen-
tral states. The South Central
states and the Northwest will of-
fer the fewest new jobs.
Some students consequently
feel they’re in the driver’s seat.

tional on Sunday.
Albany placed fourth, with the scores
being: Ithaca College, 88.5; Rochester,
87; University of Buffalo, 31; Albany,
17.5; and Hamilton, 14.
The standout performance of the meet
was senior MaryLou Webster’s in the
1000M run. Webster’s first place time of
3:04.0, broke her own school record and
qualified her for the NYS and ECAC
post season championships.
“Jt was very evident that MaryLou
(Webster) was the runner of the meet,”
said Albany coach Ron White. ‘This has
opened our eyes to her potential to excel
indoors this year.”
Webster also anchored the 3200M
relay which placed second. Her split time
of 2:21.7 was her personal best relay split
indoors. Other members of the standout
relay were Barbara Ascher, 2:31.8,
Simone McDade, 2:34.5, and Dawn Dan-
sky, 2:38.2. Ascher’s time was also her
personal best.

The Albany Hockey Club took a 9-2-1
record into this past weekend and after
Sunday night the Danes’ record was 11 vic-
tories, 2 losses, and one tie.
In Saturday’s game, Broome Communi-
ty College swept into Clifton Park Arena
and were defeated by Albany 6-2. In a
meeting between these two teams last
month, Broome, with the home-ice advan-
tage, defeated Albany by a score of 9-8.
Saturday’s rematch proved to be a dif-
ferent story.
Albany drew first blood, when the
team’s leading scorer, Bill Hotter, posted
the first of his four goals at 16:16 of the
first period on a pass from defenseman
Rich Caola.
Albany’s Chris Adele, sidelined with an
injury sustained in the last month’s game
against Broome, said that this game was
“the best I’ve seen this team play this
season.””
Broome retaliated with a power play
goal at 10:41 in the second period. Both of
Broome’s goals occurred on the power
play, at a time when Albany was two men
down; the second coming at the 15:00
mark of the third period. Albany’s penalty
killing was very effective, allowing only
the two goals in thirteen attempts.
The Danes then scored four more times
with goals from Caola, Dave Dalbec, and
Hotter’s third and fourth goals.
The referee kept a close eye on the game
calling over fifty minutes of penalties on
these two hard-hitting teams.
Coach Bruce Pomakoy, reveling in his
team’s victory, said after the game, ‘“This
is the first time we beat this club and we
beat them bad.””
Sunday afternoon found the Danes fac-
ing off against Niagara University. The
Danes, skated past Niagara, defeating
them by a score of 5-3.
Chris ‘‘Maddog”’ Potenza scored first
for Albany, putting it home at 9:36 of the
first period. Niagara scored the only goal
of the second period when Carl Sasyn slip-
ped the puck past Albany goalie David
Wooley at 7:39.
In the third period, Albany broke the
game wide open. Hotter, yesterday’s star,
converted a pass from Dave Dalbec to pull
the Danes even at two. Dalbec himself
slapped one home at 13:38, while Albany
was on the power play, to put Albany up
by one.
Niagara pulled even again at 16:45,
when Chris Almy scored his second goal of
the game. Scott Goldstein scored with just
52 seconds remaining to give Albany a 4-3
lead. Hotter then scored an empty net goal
to clinch the 5-3 win. oO
98-89.
Unfortunately for the Danes, Rogers.
captured the one meter diving. His score
of 256 cut Binghamton’s deficit to
105-100.
Albany increased its lead to 117-106
when Jackson triumphed in the 200
breaststroke. His time was 2:19.
Binghamton won the 400 freestyle, but
that was not enough to give them a victory
PLY
in the meet. Their team of Sutera, Mur-
phy, Nygard, and Overdoerster narrowly
edged Albany’s Ken Brandes, Jason Kaye,
Burton, and Rick: Van Brunt by the time of
3:25.81 to’3:25.90. The final score stood
at 121-119, with the University at Albany
being the winner.

Colonials

STAFF WRITER
Both of the University at Albany’s
swimming teams defeated their Bingham-
ton counterparts on Saturday. The men’s
victory came off of the heels of a Thursday
night loss to Division I Marist.
The women won by the score of 121-117
to raise their record to 8-5, and the men
won with a score of 121-119 to up their
mark to 7-3.
Although the scores were close, several
of the Albany swimmers broke records.
The reason for the close scores was that
several of the swimmers were unable to
compete because they were battling the flu.
Coach David Turnage said, “‘It was a
good meet. We had some real good times.
Hopefully, everybody could get healthy
before the States (championships).”’
The women jumped out to an early lead
as Jacque Courtney, Kimberly McDonald,
Kris Cusse, and Andrea Caporuscio cap-
tured the 400 medley relay. Their time of
4:23 gave the Great Danes and 11-6
surplus.
Cusse emerged victorious in the next
meet, as well. Her time of 11:50 in the
1000 meter freestyle let Albany take a
24-12 lead after two events.
However, Binghamton stormed back.
The 200 freestyle went to Zebortis, who
finished it in 2:03. The Danes’ margin was
cut to 29-26.
The University at Albany was not about
to surrender its lead. It proved that when
Caporuscio triumphed in the 50 freestyle .
Her time was 25.57 seconds, and Albany’s
lead was 41-33.
Binghamton came back and took the
lead as Ogawa took the 200 I.M. (in-
dividual medley). She finished the event in
2:22. The score stood at 47-46.
The next event was the diving, in which
Albany excelled on Saturday. Their duo
of Brenda Braun and Bridget Walter took
one-two in the one meter diving. That
enabled the Great Danes to reclaim the
lead at 59-52.
Coach Trunage said “‘The divers, both
Brenda and Bridget. . . did a very good
job.”
The Binghamton team won the next
event, which caused the lead to seesaw
back into their favor. Ogawa’s time of
2:25 in the 200 butterfly gave a 68-62 lead
to Binghamton.
That was as big of a lead as SUNY
Albany was going to allow them to attain.
Caporuscio captured the 100 freestyle in
56.96 seconds to cut the deficit to 76-73.
Coach Turnage said ‘‘Andrea
Caporuscio also had a good 50. (The 100
freestyle) was a really good swim.””
SUNYA’s Debbie Brill was victorious in
the 200 backstroke as Albany reacquired
the jead. The lead stood at 85-82. Her
time was 2:22.
Turnage said, ‘‘Debbie Brill did a per-
. sonal best (in the) 200 backstroke.”
Binghamton evened the score at 93,
when Zeboris won in the 500 freestyle with
a time of 5:32.34. Cusse finished two ten-
ths of a second later.
Turnage said ‘‘Kris Cusse did a very
good 500 freestyle time.’’
Albany jumped to a 106-96 lead after
Braun ran away with the diving. Her score
of 255 beat the other divers’ scores by over
80 points.

Chuck Noll, head coach of the NFL’s
Pittsburgh Steelers, once said, “Before
you can win a game, you have to not lose
ie?
Noll’s words can be applied to basket-
ball too, as Albany’s women’s basketball
*eam lost to the William Smith College
Hurons, 65-44, last Friday night at
University Gym.
The defeat, Albany’s third in their last
four games, leaves their record at 11-7.
All three of those losses have been in
double figures.
Against William Smith, the Danes did
everything that would help the Hurons
win. They turned the ball over too much
(30 times), they were lousy from ihe free
throw line(40°/o), and they are in an of-
fensive slump(37 percent from the field).
“Our offensive game has been struggl-
ing all week,’’ said Albany coach Mari
Warner. ‘‘There’s no question we are in
a slump. But when you get in one, it’s
more mental than physical.’’
When the shots aren’t falling, a team
isn’t going to win. Outside shooting has
been Albany’s achilles heel. Since the
outside shots aren’t going in, the Danes
have been trying to force the ball inside.
Because of this, there has been the
larger amount of turnovers.
The Danes turned the ball over 20
times in the first half and they went
almost eight and a half minutes without
scoring a field goal (9:19 to 2:52).
Albany’s Pam Wilson had nine points against William ‘Smith.
Albany women cagers
lose to Hurons, 65-44
During this span, the score went from
17-13 to 31-19, Hurons. The half ended
with William Smith ahead, 33-22.
One plus for Albany has been the play
of the Dane defense. Albany only let the
Hurons shoot 36 percent from the field.
“Defensively, we’ve been doing our
job,’”’ Warner said.
The second half saw things get worse
for Albany. Halfway thorugh the
period, the Danes scored six straight
points to get the deficit down to nine
points, 45-36 with 8:36 left.
William Smith called a time out and
then scored the next eight points (53-36)
to end any chance of an Albany
comeback.
Albany was led by center Mindy
McLaughlin’s 11 points. Junior forward
Gina Richardson had 10 points. Forward
Pam Wilson scored nine points.
For William Smith, Kim Ilg scored 17
points and Amy Vandervort had 14
points.
Albany plays at Oneonta on Wednes-
day night. This should be a breather for
the Danes.
“We have a rough schedule with little
let up,’”? Warner said.
As always, Warner remains optimistic
about her young team.
“We can’t look back at the past.
Sometimes we’re (the coaches)
psychologists, sometimes we’re techni-
cians, sometimes we’re a little of both,”
Warner added. iO
McDonald proceeded to capture the 200
breaststroke in 2:40, which allowed the
Danes to increase the margin to 117-104.
Her time broke the team’s record.
Binghamton was able to win the final
event, but it was a little too little and a lit-
tle too late. Their quartet of Bister, Jones,
Weathers, and Molnar finished the 400
freestyle relay in 3:53. Nevertheless, the
University at Albany was triumphant. The
final score was 121-117.
The men jumped out to an 11-6 lead,
also, as Ed Burton, Michael Jackson,
Peter McElerney, and Frank Skibo finish-
ed the 400 medley relay in 3:43. Their time

Men’s track
team runs
at Milrose
By Steven Silberglied
STAFF WRITER
The world’s greatest track and field
athletes gathered into Madison Square
Garden in New York City for the Wan-
namaker Milrose Games. Many medal
winners from the 1988 Seoul Olympics
competed, as did most of the nation’s top
colleges and track clubs.
If you looked closely amongst these
giants you could have seen representatives
of the Albany men’s track team, as they
were the only Division III school in
attendance.
The Danes competed in the collegiate
two-mile relay and finished fifth of the
eight teams. They ran a time of 7:56.57 —
the third fastest in the school’s history.
Overall it was a fine effort by the quartet
of freshmen Todd Buckely, Gregorio Lu-
ciano, Joe McCullen and senior Jim
Clancy.
“I am definitely pleased by our perfor-
mance,”’ said Albany coach Roberto
Vives, ‘Even though we didn’t meet our
goal of running a school record, (7:53) we
were very respectable. Only one week ago
we didn’t really have a relay to put
together, but they met the challenge at
Boston last weekend and again at the
Milrose Games. I was a little bit nervous
about running three freshmen
Buckely led off and put the Danes in ex-
cellent position. He passed through the
quarter swiftly in 55.5, and handed off in
second with a time of 1:57.7.
Buckely later recalled, ‘‘I knew the pace
was going to be quick but it felt pretty
€asy, even at 55 (for the quarter).”’
Fordham and Seton Hall, two highly
Tespected teams, passed Luciano on the se-
cond leg, but the Bronx native fought hard
with friends and family members in atten-
dance. Luciano held off Columbia and
handed off after running a 2:00.2 split..
McCullen ran his first quarter mile like
he was shot out of a cannon. He flew past
that point in 54.6. McCullen began to tire
at the end from the fast pace and was even-
tually passed by Columbia. However he
tied a personal best with his time of 1:58.0.
On the anchor leg, Clancy maintained
the Danes’ fifth place position. He was
Personally timed in 2:00.6 stopping the
clock for Albany in 7:56.57.
New York Tech won the tight three team
battle for first in 7:43 shortly ahead of
Fordham’s 7:44 and Seton Hall’s 7:47.
Columbia finished just ahead of Albany in
TaS-
Still, the Milrose Games were a great ex-
perience for the young Dane team, just for
the competition.
Buckely said, “It was a great thrill to be
warming up with stars like Renaldo
Neahimiah, Roger Kingdom, and Evelyn
Ashford. It is something I will never
forget.”
Luciano added, “‘I was really excited to
Tun in the Milrose Games because of its’
great reputation. I think we held our
ground but we could have done better if we
had a proper warmup (the Danes were only
able to jog a few laps prior to the race).
The four relay members will get @
chance to improve on their Milrose time.
They will compete this Saturday at the
Brandan Byrne Arena, as they will run in
the 3200 meter relay in the Vitalis U.S.
Olympic Invitational. o
