NYPIRG faces referendum battle
By Jim O'Sullivan
NEWS ROLTOK
Several students have formed a group to oppose
the continaed funding of the New York Public In-
terest Research Group at SUNYA through mar
‘datory activity fee money, despite the failure of
conservative movements against the fees in past
months at the University of Buffalo and Syracuse
University.
NYPIRQ's Local Board co-chairs both expressed
confidence that SUNYA will continue its support of
the group in this April's upcoming referendum, and
pointed to votes held over the twelve years at the
University as evidence of students’ belief in iheir
organization’s worthiness,

NYPIRG's insurance program, Eichhorn noted,

NYPIRG pushing item pricing law
By Ilene Weinstein
EDITORIAL « SISTANT
The New York State Assembly passed a bill Mon-
day strengthening the state’s “item pricing” law re-
quiring most supermarkets to place price labels on
all but 3 percent of non-sale items and the New
York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is
seeking a sponsor for tue bill in thy state Senat..
The current law, enacted in 1976, is targeted at
supermarkets which gross more than $3 million in
one year. Unpackaged bulk or fresh produce, milk,
eggs and items on sale for less than 14 days are ex-
empt from the law, but stores must keep on hand

The bill, which was sponsored by
Assemblymember Ralph Goldstein (D), has not

claimed to have lists refused to produce them, said
Kantor.
“76 percent of the shoppers surveryed would be
willing to pay any extra cost" incurred from item-
pricing, said Kantor, adding that a ‘ballpark
figure" would be about 2 or 3 cents more per load
of groceries. The majority of people don’t think
that the supermarkets would pass on any savings, if
items were not priced individually, to the consumer,
he added.
Many stores have complained that the law is not
necessary because they would price items even if the
state did not require them to. According to Her-
rick, only nine states have an “item pricing” law
and the experience in the other states is contrary to
what New York supermarkets think. Items are not

Graduating seniors. report,
according to the study, that
they are stisfied witl, the uc-
cessibility of their instructors,
but more than one-half also
said they had no informal con-
tact to socialize with a faculty
member over their senior year.
Students also said that cai cer
preparation was an extremely
important goal of their
education.
This reflected a report from
Newsweek — On Campus that
showed ite biggest life-time
goal of incoming freshmen na-
tionwide was “being very well
off financially."
Post-graduate evaluations of
Albany were extremely
favorable, sad Terenziui.
Many of those polled said that
the University’s contribution to
their intellectual growth was
““large"” or “very large.” Seven
in ten reported that the Univer-
sity's rol. in their persoual
growth was “large” or “very
large” also.
Graduates also said that they ~
were very satisfied with the
quality of the instruction they
had received at SUN\A.
Moreover, 64 percent of those
going on to graduate or profes-
sional school were continuing
their education at a school that
was their first choice.
Among those takwg full-
time jobs immediately after
graduation, only 41 percent
rated their prepat
or extremely positive, however.
Nearly 55 percent of Ba
calaureate degree recipicuts
take full-time jobs, with a mie-
dian-starting annual salary, in
1982 dollars, of $14,750. Nine
out of ten are employed in New
York State also.
SUNYA ‘‘is a hell of a lot
better than we give it credit for.
(We have) a lot of reason for
pride," said Terenzini.
According to the report,

provement, overall the

view. You can show a person that
you are actively listening by look-
ing directly at the person, by mak-
ing comments, and by summariz-
ing what the persun has said.
Often we may feel as though we
should give advice or offer a solu-
tion, but most advice is not
helpful especially if it is given
before the other person has had
the chance to express his or iver
feelings.
Itis also important to create an
atmosphere in which the other
person can honestly express his or
her feelings of sadness, frustra-
tion, or anger. Often our first
reaction to the discomfort of so-
meone we care about is to do or
say something that will make him
or her feel better.
It is important to remember,
however, that the otiier person
needs to express these feelings and
have them accepted. You may
help the person to open up by
Now
asking — ‘‘How did you feel
when such and such happened?”
At times,. sitting quietly with
another person is all that is need-
ed. Your understanding and sup-
portive presence is often more im-
portant than words.
Once the problem has been
identified and the otiver person
has expressed his or her feelings
concerning the problem, the next
step can be to discuss alternatives
and options. There are usually
many possible options available
in any problem situation.
For example, a person who is
having trouble in school has the
options of getting extra help,
developing new study habits,
changing majors, rearranging
schedules, or dropping out of
school. You can help a friend
evaluate the advantages and
disadvantages of each option by
being nonjudgemental. In this
way the decision will be that of
the other person nd not one of
your own.
But what if your friend will not
take the initiative to resolve his or
her problem? In this case you pro-
bably need to suggest professional
counseling. You may ulso need to
consider whether you wish to con-
tinue in the helping role. im-
portant to realize that you have
limitations and cannot resolve
your friend’s problem.
‘You might try saying, “We've
been talking for quite awhile now
and nothing seems to be changing
for you. | know this has been a
difficult time for you, but I'm at a
loss as to what to do. I care about
you, but | know tha I canuot
help you."”
We often hope that a friend will
fell better after she oe he has talk-
ed with us, but this is not always
the case, This is especially true of
a person: who is suffering frum
the loss of a significant
relationship.
The transitional period in this
case usually lasts four to six weeks
and in the case of death, much
longer. In these cases we can xive
support and understanding which
may help the other person to
establish new relationships.
Listening, encouraging the ex-
pression of feelings, defining
alternatives or options und
developing a plan of action are
not alays necessary or required.
Often a friend may simply need
someone to listen to and unders-
tand their concerns.

Despite mass arrests, press cen-

Martin Sanchez, SUNYA senior

of a military coup of Septet
, 1973, the Reagan Administration
continues to support the military
dictatorship of Chile.
Then-president, Salvadore
Allende was ousted from office
during thi coup and was replaced
by his army chief-of-staff;
General Augusto Pinochet, who
rules Chile to this day. In the
three months following
jochet's takeover, hundreds of

“Sanchez said that after the

in response to a rash of street pro-

chez said this allows authorities to

added.

the Pentagon started supplying

The arms buildup continued,

Allende won a majority of the
popular vote, just over 36 per-
cent, and received 156 votes in the
joint congressional ballot. His
closest runner-up won 35 votes,
Sanchez said tue U.S. “ted

from coming to power." He said
the U.S. paid $6 million to
Chilean senators and represen-
tatives to buy off votes. President

Allende still won,
During Allende's: reign, San-
chez said, “Nixon tried to

dumping U.S. copper. onto the

Chilean economy. Copper is
Chile's primary natural resource.
Meanwhile, the socialist
Allende was nationalizing mines

contraceptives
Sex is always one of the hottest issues on cam-
pus. It's probably the most common topic of
conversation, as well as a frequent pasttime for
many students. Middle Earth gets more than
twice as many sex related calls as any other con-
cern.In 1984 alone, 500 students contacted Mid-
dle Earth seeking advice on sexual matters.
Yet birth control is extremely inaccessible to
many on-campus students, While Planned
Parenthood offers a full range of contraceptives,
they're only on campus for a couple of hours
twice a week. The bookstore doesn't sell any
kind of birth control, and Paul Arnold, Director
of UAS Vending services, says he there's never
been any demand for condom vending
machines,
Bookstore officials say they hadn't given the
issue much thought. They should. With more
than 6,000 sexually mature students living in the
dorms, there's clearly a need to at least examine
the accessibility of birth control and sexuality
counseling on campus.
Although its possible that some students may
be more comfortable purchasing birth control
off campus, there are a number of on campus
alternatives that deserve consideration. Vending
machines, the bookstore, and student health ser-
vices are all possible locations for the sale of
birth control. This would not be promoting sex;
it would be encouraging students to be
responsible.
Several weeks ago, the students at Union Cul-
lege, in Schenectady, demanded that their
bookstore sell birth control. The managers
refused, saying that students should receive
counseling with their birth control.
Our bookstore officials have no policy gover-
ning contraceptives. They should give some
thought to the student interest. It seems bizarre
that they could rationalize selling pornographic
magazines that objectify women and perpetuate
violent myths, and not be able to justify the
legitimate need for accessible contraceptives.
Dr. Ruth will be here tonight. What will she
say?
Screwing
the students
It’s good that contraceptives are available to
off-campus students because they're being
screwed by the city and university
administrations.
‘The city has gone back on its word to wait un-
til June to begin enforcement of the grouper
law. Several landlords have alraedy been taken
to court, The fines, legal fees, and costs of
renovating the houses to comply with the law
will ultimately be passed on to the students, in
the form of higher rent rates. In addition, some
landlords are renting houses with four and five
bedrooms to only three students at only a slight-
als, who have in the past
shown that they can have a lot of pull with the
city administration, have done very little to pro-
tect the students or provide housing alternatives.
arlier this year, several administrators said they
were looking into numerous housing
possibilities. Since then nothing’s been done,
Student Affairs Vice President Frank Pogue
said that the city plans to begin cracking
iolators of the grouper law.
1 no specifics, The off campus housing
office has been very helpful in advising students,
but little guidance has come from anyone in an
capacity.
So, if you're an off-campus student you might
want to make a quick stop to pick tp some con-
aceptives, because its the only protection

Student activism—Alive in ’85
Contrary to popular belief, Student Activism is ative
and prospering in 198. No longer «+ it possible ,or pousti-
cians (0 ignore the demands and interests of students.
More students are registered to vote, and going to the
polls, than ever before. The techniques that students have
develdped to articulate their demands to politicians are
more sopl.isticated touay than at aay time in ou. histy.
The voices of students are being heard loud and clear
throughout the halls of political power, and in New York
State, NYPIRG is a major reason why.
Joseph Hilbert
NYPIRG was for aded in 1973 by a group of New York
College students wl.o were disturbed by many things they
were witnessing ir their society. They saw government
making political ecisions wish dangerou ly little stud.nt
input. These dec'sions were affecting the quality of the
water students ¢rank and the air they breathed, where
they lived and voted, and whether or not they could af-
ford to attend college. In other words, virtually every
facet of their lives. These students reacted by deciding to
establish « powerful furce by whic. students, i» citize.ts,
could effectively teach themselves how to influence the
political decisions affecting their lives. The result of this
was the New York Public Interest Research Group.
Today NY PIRG is a major statewide student organiza-
tion with chapters on 18 college campuses. NYPIRG is
governed by a Buard of Directors compused entirely of
students who are democratically elected by students on
their campuses. At each campus, including SUNYA,
NYPIRG works to teach students how to become active
the democratic process. NYPIRG's main areas
‘n have been consumer protection, environmen-
tal preser\.ation, corpcrate and gosernment ac. ountal ili
ty, and higher education.
Since 1973, NYPIRG has fought to increase students
rights and power. The struggle has produced many vice
tories, One of NYPIRG’s carly successes was passage of
the Trutl Testing Law. Due to NYPIRG's work,
students are abl to acquire copies of th. questions wid
answers from standardized tests, resulting in tens of
thousands of students having their scores raised.
The struggle for a safe and healthy environment has
also been led by NYPIRG. In 1982, NYPIRG successfully
overcame the opposition of the chemical industry and saw
the creaticn of a State Superfund (o start cleaniag up she
more than 1,000 toxic dumpsites in the state. It was
NYPIRG's broad base of students support that helped
make the Superfund a reality and bring New York one
step closer to a healthy environment for all. NYPIRG's
work on the environment has been covered by 60
Minutes, and in she New Youk Times anu Newsweek, as
well as other publications.
Another injustice successfully addressed was that of
student voting rights in Albany. NYPIRG, working with
SASU and Student Action, fought for and won the right
for SUNY-Albany students to vote in their college com-
munity, his has ccstainly inciased the , ower of
students,
Many student groups on this campus have fought to in-
crease government funding for higher education, and
NYPIRG has been one of the leading ones. Along with
Student Action and SASU, NYPIRG has been instrumen-
tal in keeping SL NY tuition .ifordable and the TAP ).0-
gram viable,
NYPIRG is responding to the federal attack on higher
education by mounting a petition and letter-writing drive
on campus to register student opposition to this latest in-
justice aimed at all of us. Once again, working closely
with SASU and Studesst Action, NYPIRG will 3e leti.ng
members of Congress hear students demands for ade-
quate funding for higher education. NYPIRG will also be
publishing a Higher Education newsletter so that students
can more effectively oppose the cutbacks in financial aid.
NYPIRG's work in all these areas has been possible not
only due to stuc.nt support «.n the issues. Students have
shown their support five times since 1974 to fund
NYPIRG at SUNY-Albany through the student activity
fee. Every two years, NYPIRG asks the student body to
continue funding NYPIRG (currently at $3 per semester)
and every two years students have voted overwhelmingly
to do so, By asking tc student body to fund NYPI
directly, NYPIRG's accountability to student concerns is
assured, Without the stability of our funding system, our
multi-year campaigns for Truth-in-Testing, the Super-
fund, and student voting rights would never have
occurred.
It is clear fron, NYPIRG’s . cord that s,udents supyutt
the work the organization does for them. Students realize
the need for a powerful statewide organization to fight 10
increase and protect their rights and power, and teach
them important citizenship skills. Students recognize the
need to take the knowledge they have acquired in the
classroons and apply ic 10 “real wos td" concert.» that af-
fect them as citizens. NYPIRG has long succeeded in
meeting both these needs.
Perhaps most important of all, we students know that
our campus, and our life on it, does not exist in a
vacuum, We live in a political world and are affected by
an unhealthy ci.vironment, consumer 1.p-offs and an
escalating arms race, just as every other citizen in this
state and nation is, Utilizing its broad base of student
support, NYPIRG has led the fight to safeguard the in-
terests of students as citizens,
We're winning that fight!

Cannon under fire
To the Editor:
Tam wi.ting this lett.r in regard 1.1 a professp:, who .n=
stead of stimulating and enhancing my education here at
SUNY Albany, has become a frustrating and detrimental
deterrent to my long term goals, | am referring to my
Financial Accounting (ACC 211) professor, Dr, Harold,
Cannon.
Ido not doub, his knowle..ge and exp. ¢ Of the sub-
ject matter, but 1 do question his testing ability and
overall equity to the class. On a recent exam (March 14),
the class median was 32 out of SO which means more than
55 percent of the class received either a D or an E, Besides
y there. was one A (a 46) and 15 B's which to me
s that an injusticc has been wane. In addi essing .he
* class (which used to entirely fill up LC 7), on March 19th,
he stated, ‘I realize that 1 made two questions extremely
difficult to separate the A's from he B’s but the poor per-
formance must be due to your own (the class')
carelessness." Big Deal. He did a fine job in
distinguishing tle one A frou the 15 B's out what abvut
the other 400-500 students?
SUNY Albany is a highly rated academic school with
strong qualifications for admissions, and most of this
‘ACC 211 class is eventually headed for the business
school meaning that they, have GPA's in excess of 3.
For these .vasons alon., | refuse . believe that the enire
class is stupid or careless.
Being a former 4.0 student and a person who went into
the exam with a fair amount of confidence, I cannot see
my failing grade as totally due to my own stupidity, Pro-
fessor Cannon hasn't even considered the fact that the ex-
am may have ocen {00 hing, too disticult, or .v0
frustrating.
He also stated,."*I do not believe in curving exams so |
am not going to curve it but I promise the next exam's
median will raise anywhere from four to ten points and if
it doesn't 1 will quit my job."* This is quite a small con-

sidering the fact-that mos} of the students who were doing
poorly have now dropped, the median will naturally go
up a few points. Believe me, 1 am deeply contemplating

This is the sae professor, who last smester, had 50
percent of his class end up with D's and E's. Does this
inan enjoy seeing people suffer? I wouldn't expect that at-
titude from a professor in an alleged superior institute of
higher learning.
1 will admit that I have learned a lot about accounting
and that i. what educa,ion is all about but unfo.tunaily,
that won't suffice in our present day education system. 1
still must attain a certain GPA for admission to the
business schoo! and also someday to a quality graduate or
law school. I can understand that there is a quota on the
amount of business school students and that some people
have to be “weewed out," bi this is a lide too extrenie,
How can the administration in this school overlook his
recent past performance and statistics? Statistics are a
means of measure throughout society. If Dave Winfield
‘of the Nww York Yankees (who is paid over $1 million a
year) hits a dismal 20S this season, I'm sure the Yankees’
administration would secome inte,ested in thy probhn,
Af a stud SUNYA received 0.0.5 GPA, I'm sure the
school administration would do something sbout it
Therefore, why is nothing being done in this situation? It
is also unfair that Professor Cannon has a monopoly on
the ACC 211 course, Wouldn't it be alot fairer to have
other alternative » for this course.
The intent of this letter is not to crucify Professor Can-
non, but {0 either notify the administration that there is a
major problem or to provide some constructive criticism
for Professor Cannon. If he would become alot fairer and
nicer about grading and test giving, he would prove that
he is one of the fines professors ui this schoo» and so
‘one of the tops in his field.
Believe me, | speak on behalf of most of the students
who have taken ACC 211 in the past two semesters.

Innocent judge
To the Editor:
In an ASP article that ran on March 1%, Jackie Ben.
stein was accused of being a biased judge. These accusa-
tions came from people who were participants in an air.
band contest recently held on State Quad, who came in
third place.
1do not see any point in running an articte whieh iy bas-
ed on aes sitions, In any contest, there have i be ».
ers and lovers, but the losers should not put the blame on
the judgey. Jackie was accused of being “unfair’* and
“dishonest” be ye she was friends with the winning
group, What the article failed to mention is that she is
ao good friends with people in several of the other
hands,
{sce no truth in the avcusation'that Jackie coerced the
other judges’ opinions, Neither of them said they were
pushed into voting, so why question Jackie on this?
Maybe the fact that the winners were not all from State
Quad led the audience to boo the judges’ decision,
Thave .aown Jackis for almost ,vo years att feel he
has done more for this University than any. other

son. ‘The children had such a

students so much. This “was
clear when they sat with the
students instead of clinging to
their parents, who were seem-
ingly more excited than the
children.”
Both Pearson and Parker
plan (o use their funds to pur-
chase much needed equipment
and supplies. The Boy's Club is
in vital need of physical educa-
tion equ.pment, co.nputess,
audio-visual materials and a
van, according to Pearson, He
added, “The only problem we
will have with deciding what to
do with the money is producing
a just list of priorities.
Drakeland Day Care center,
which isa little more than a
year old, desperately needs sup-
plies ranging from crayons to
computers, according to
Parker. * Ve have hasdly wny
materials, only the pure basics.
We just can't run a day-care
center without something as
simple as construction paper,"
she added.
Dorf and Shapiro along with
the rest of the Telethon staff
chose the Boy's Club and the
Drakeland center from a list of
over 30 prospective
beneficiaries. According to
Dorf, the Boy's Clul. was an
overwhelming favorite and
choosing Drakeland was a ‘gut
decision.”
The Albany Boy's Club
serves youth aged six through
18, qboth_ mak and female,
Pearson said, ‘Since we serve
youth from a. variety of
backgrounds, | believe we are
unique."

Parker, adding, “We are com-

and emotional development
which is vital to these
Iren."*
The center cares for infants
between c.ght weeks wud thee
years, which Parker feels are
harder to watch. "Many of the
teenage parents know so little
about child care and we fill the
gap," she said.
Both Pearsia and Patser
said they wish to commend the
Telethon staff for their untiring
devotion and concern. Pearson
said, “Their task was not an
easy one and they performed it
with the utmost in provs-

“What they did for these kids
was so meaningful, I just hope
they continue to think of

Fraternities looking to show up Lisa Birnbach
By Lisa Jackel
STAFF WRI,
In The College Handbook,
written by Lisa Birnbach, it. was
stated that SUNY Albany was one
of the least school-spirited univer-
sities in the country, but due to
the arrival of fratcinities on cune
pus, school spirit has been
uplified. There has been a
measurable increase in school
spirit here at Albany, perhaps
best recognized at the men's
basketbali yames this wason
The first fraternity to attend
men's basketball games was ZBT.
“That's one of the things a frater-
nity's supposed to do--build
school spirit--and this school had
no school spirit, 30 we figused
we'd initiate it,” stated ZBT
brother Mark Isbitts,
The first game that the ZBT
brothers cheered for was against
Plattsburgh, and according to
Isbitts, "Tae coach wid play crs
really responded--the players and
the coach personally thanked us
for our support For anyone
present at the men’s basketball
games, it was obvious that ZBT
was one of the loudest and must
enthusiastic fraternities present,
The main reason for the ap-
pearance of the fraternities at the
basketball games was not to make
themselves look good, but for the
benefit o! the team. ' We didn't
do it for recognition,” said Aaron
Geller,"We did it because the
team is good and deserves some
support.”
Alter the idea of attending and
lending support at he Great D..ne
basketball games was introduced
in an’ interfraternity council
meeting, more fraternities started
to appear at the games. There was
a friendly competition between
the frater.iities as to who could
make the best banners, shout the
loudest and makeup the best
cheers.
“We all worked together--wé
couldn't have done it alone,
stated ZBT Presid. nt Howie Su
nenschien, ‘We might have
started it, but other fraternities
just as much wanted to keep it go-
ing and were just as much ap-
preciated by the team.”
Anothe, fraternity (iat crewed
a lot of noise and made a consis-
tent showing at the men’s basket-
ball game was Pi Lamda Phi.
They contributed two banners,
the infamous doghouse which the
ZBT brothers heiped carry vut,
and Mike Richmond did a fan-
tastic job as the Great Dane
mascot,
They were also the only frater-
nity to make an appearance
of the wouen's basketvall ganws,
February 22 against Cortland, in
which Coach Mari Warner and
the players were most ap-
preciative. “The support was fan-
tastic. It was new, it was fresh, i
was great, it gave us incentiv.,"
stated Kosalak in a previous ASP
article pertaining to the game. “I
never knew a fraternity could
make so much noise."*
“The coach was so appreciative
she offer to take us out out to
dinner at the Rat,” stated Pi
Lamda Phi President Mike
Leibowitz.
‘Women’s sports are just as
important to SUNY Albany as
men’s, and they Jeserve just as

ZBT Is one of the many fraternities which show that school spirit does exist at Albany State.
much support. Actually, the
women’s teams need more sup-
port because of the greater
number of fans that go to the
men’s games," said Pi Lamda Phi
brother Todd Rubensicin.
Fraternities added much excite-
ment not only to the games, but
to the school itself,
Said Sonnenschein: ‘Due to
the increase in fraternities and
sororities, the whule spirit of .he
school has picked up as students
are beginning to feel proud of
their school, and I'm proud to be
part of the fraternity that sparked
it off."

Depth in pitching key factor in Danes’ season
By Jeff Mallaber
STAPE WRIT ¢
Albany State baseball coach Ed Zaloom
is doing a bit of fingernail biting these
days. There are a lot of things that he
knows about his 1985 club.
He knows tivat the infiell is going tu be
solid defensively. The same thing goes for
the outfield, He knows his offense is going
to have to depend on speed instead of

depth of his pitching staff. With a schedule
that has him playing four important con-
ference games within three days, that is a
significant worry.
The coach does have three seasoned
starters, and to relievers shat are kno wn
quantities. Juniors Chris Fletcher, Robert
|ANG UPS
y Ina scrimmage held yesterday. Thelr
n Island,
Tobias, and Warren Miller are three right
handers that can all do the job, in a star-
ting role. Sophomores Alan Pedley and
John Kalinsky can come in and give two or
three solic, innings of relief. The schedule
that the Danes play though, requires that
Coach Zaloom reach a little bit further
back and find some young arms to fill the
holes.
Three freshman have joined the team
this year that Coach Zaloum will be going
to in the tight spots. Doug Reisinger, from
Schenectady, according to the coach, is a
fine young pitcher that needs only.to work
‘on control. Keith Zuckerman, at 6'3"", 205
pounds, the biggest man on the team, is a
hard throwing left hauler who also needs
to find the plate more often. Jim Garner
rounds out the field of rookies with fine
control, but the coach wants to see his
strength increase.
In a season like this, with a number of
games packedi into very livile time, these
freshman will have to come through and,
give their elders time to rest. Coach
Zaloom sees this as the-key to his team’s
success, He said yesterday, "We have a
real quality pitching staff, ‘it’s just depth
that I'm worried about." The youngsters
will have to come along fast, but the coach
couldn't be more optimistic about their
ability.
The infield is very solid. Howie Ham-
mond is back at third after an all-
conference ficshman performance. He
combines a great bat with a steady glove,
sporting a .400 batting average and a fine
fielding record last year,
Anthony Torrez is'feady for his senior
season at ‘second base. Like many second
basemen, Torrez feaures a ver, sulid
glove but a little trouble at the plate. If
Torrez can continue to improve offensive-
ly, he will be a major contributor in "85.
First base is up in the air to a certain ex-
tent. Sophomore Steve Antico and
freshman Adum Pullman are battling ‘or
the position, When asked about an even-
tual starter, Zaloom said, ‘I don’t know.
Until someone shows that they can do the
job consistently, we won't know,”*
Captain Dave Theleman anchors the |
defense a: shortstop. Strong on Loth of-
fense and defense, this junior will be a key
to the Danes future. Coach Zaloom sees
him as a natural leader that the rest of the
players can look to in the tough situations,
Last year’s catcher, Dave Hennessey,
returns for his junior scasun with two uble
bodied challengers,to spur him on, Ed
Dicks and Mike Do’ gherty, a walk-on suc-
cess story, are’ iting for the job, but
Hennessey figures o hold on.
‘The outfield is lead by Jeff MacEachron
In center, whom Coach Zaloom alls°*a
real 100 percenter."” Mike Vosburgh will
play a rock steady right field while perfor-
ming well at the plate. Bob Martilla, Braig
Wallace, and Fred Saccocio will fight it
out for the left field spot.
1985 is a laudmark year for the Danes.
Coach Zaloom wants to stabilize a pro-
gram: that has seen a few -too; many
coaching changes lately: He likes what he
sees this year. He sees a team with a lot of
heart and a winning attitude. The young
pitchers will be the ke) to making w run at
the conference championship, but the
coach knows his players are winners from
the word go. Q
Dane netmen head fo Cornell for season debut
By Kristine Sauer
ASSOCIATE SORTS EDITOR
Traditionally, the Albany State men’s tennis
team has very successful spring seasons. If their
strong 7-2 fall performance carries over into this
it looks like the netmen will once again live
tradition, but it won't be easy with tough
like Cornell, Colgate, Concordia und
ms on the schedule,
‘Our schedule is tougher in the spring than in the
fall,” said Head-Coach Bob Lewis. “We play many
quality teams with very few breathers."”
‘The Danes* successes mounted in the fall. A first-
place finisit in the RPI tournament was followed by
an impressive third place in the ECAC tournament,
then a seventh place in the Great Dane Classic,
ishing with their sixth consecutive SUNYAC
le,
‘We had an excellent fall season, it was much
better than I expected,’ said Lewis, who wasn't
sure what to expect after losing top seeded players
after graduation in Spring '84, ‘The guys moved
up and really did an excellent job. Experience and
confidence developed in the fall,”* added Lewis,
The team lineup will start off as it finished in the
fall for at least the season opener wday at Cot uell,
Challenge matches will be held soon to reshuffle the
players:
The challenge matches give people a chance to
move around,” said team captain Jay Eisenberg.
“They give people the chance to play where they
should be. We want the best guy vo play numver
one.
Challenges only occur a few times during each
season. ‘You want to giye people a fair shake, but
the competitiveness is bad for team morale," said
Eisenberg. ‘'You have to get back to playing the
basics
“I's so tough, with me, Jay and Dave we're so
lose, if of us has a good day, It's tough to say
who'd win," said Com Sehmi ‘With the
lone, anything goes. Hopelully it won't screw
snybody up too bad and bum them out for the rest
wf the season."
Ast stands now, junior Dave Grossman will play
first singles for the Danes. This is Grossman's third
year of varsity competition. In the fall, Grossman
was SUNYAC champion at first singles. Last spr-
ing, he and doubles partner David Ulrich competed
in the NCAA tournament, In Division III,
Grossman is currently ranked 26th in the nation for
singles players, and with doubles partner Tom
Schmitz, is ranked 13th nationally,
‘At second singles and first doubles with
Grossman is junior Tom Schmitz, who is also in his
third year of varsity competition, Schmitz was
runner-up in the SUNYACS in the fall and has since
been playing in a local pro league with top area
players. ‘I use that to keep me active," said
Schmitz. i
fhey're very close ability wise,’’ said Lewis.
ight now they have « national ranking in douvles
and both have a good chance of representing the
East region in the nationals."? The nationals will be
held in Lexington, Virginia at Washington and Lee
University.
Junior Jay Eisenberg, who is the team captain,
plays third singles for :he Danes. Lisenberg was a
r-up in the SUNYACS in the fall. It is also his
third year of varsity competition. Eisenberg also
plays second doubles with Mike Dermansky.
Dermansky, another third year junior, was
SUNYAC cham at fourth singles last fall.
“T'Ml louk for those guys to lead she team, they all
had excellent falls,"* said Lewis,
At fifth singles is Mitch Gerber, The only senior
on the team, Mark Sanders plays sixth singles.

Nicholais personifies art
uring the course of the past year,
D Proctor’s has brought some of the
most exciting groups in abstract
and modern dance to it's stage, This past
Saturday's performance of the Nickolais
Dance Theatre was another choreograghed
step in that direction,
Rina Young
The first notes of the music resounded in
the theatre as the lights dimmed for the
first piece entitled Pond, The raised curtain
revealed a stage that paralleled the per-
sonification of an abstract’ painting as the
lights created yellow and green mosaic
shapes with a dark backdrop both on the
stage and the dancers, The spotlights on
the dancers were light enough to allow one
to discern tle shapes of the dancers from
the background, but not enough to dif-
ferentiate the patterns of the costumes
from the patterns which the light played
upon their Bodies,
The dancers were on their backs, legs
stradled, against the psychedelic backdrop
of light and color as the kalaidoscope
began to move slowly. Balanced on low
dollies, the dancers began to stretch and
twist their arms around, modulating back
and forth with the random ‘chords of the
‘vscairmusicy Suddenly-tke bodies stéod up in’ a’
“uth of movement as: the ‘quiick’ piercings
notes of the drumbeat transformed the:
mood into a frenzy of motion. The cresen-
do of movement returned to it's original
slow melodic quality and the flagellation of
underwater\movement was quieted. The
calm and peacefullness of the underwater
world of the pond returned.
Slowly, the dark, primordial motions of
pairs of cells group together in the image of
‘a moving stulpture, The spotlights were
turned off and all that was left was the
mosaic pattern of light as all of the motion
was personified in the dancers. The troupe
locked arms with one another, and still
placed on the moving dollies, left the stage
ina snake train creeping slowly off the side
of the stage,
The company was founded by Alwin
Nickolais whose work as a choreographer
has spanned four decades. He has given a

S streams of the shower, twisting her

wasn't there. No one would hear her cry,
but she had to hide it just the same. When
she left the steamy bathroom her eyes
would be dry and made up. Like always.

new dimension to dance with the use of his
visual artistry and thus created his own uni-
que form of abstract theatre. It is not
enough to note the physical movement of
the dancers onstage without also en-
countering the optical illusions and_in-
terplay with the technical .aspects of a
theatrical production.
In the second piece, Tensile Involve-
ment, the dancers ran onto the stage fron
both sides holding long straps of material
that were suspended from the ceiling of the
stage as well as from the opposite sides
behind the curtain, These crisscrossed the
stage and formed a woven pattern of lines
‘rach '
that resemble the children’s game of cats
cradle, The dancers themselves wove in
and. out of the pattern yet didn't get en:
tangled into this web of lines. As the
dancers raised and lowered the straps, the
light played on’ the stage and every dif-
ferent geometrical arrangement was of a
different hue,
As the beat of the music: slowed, the
dancers prepared themselves’ for, another
entanglement with the straps as they slow:
ly outlined themselves in the two dimen:
tional form of a rectangle. As the audience
applaused this magical mathemetical feat
of encasing their 3:D bodies in 2:D form,
Michael
No. No. No. I have to leave, Where? To
where? Not physically. Not what place
but where? Without Michael,
She shook harder.
“Lisa, [love you, I'm so sorry. Really. It
just happened, I lost control, 1 admit it, but
that can't end everything between us,
Without you I...”
“Michael, you make this sound like it's
something new.” Loudly. “You hit me.”
Her voice cracked. "You hurt me. I've
forgiven you before ‘cause I'm stupid,
Because I loved you. Past tense, got it? No
one is going to get away with treating me
this way.”
“Lisa.” He took her limp hand and kissed
the back, the front, "Td be your slave, 1
swear, Maybe I lost my head once, but you
know f'd do anything to keep you from be-
ing hurt... really hurt, There are a lot
worse things than what happened before.
You know | love you and can't live
without you. You don't want to be alone.
She looked at him and hugged herself.
love you, too, but get out of here. Come
back tomorrow,’
they began to rock back and forth and the
image created was of rectangles
modulating to the beat of the music. As the
dancers lowered themselves to the floor,
they held the straps around them, raised
their legs and the rectangles were sjowly
raised in a 90 degree angle to the floor.
Moving on the different planes until they
hit the floor, the dancers disengaged the
shapes and recreated the woven tapestry as
they bounced off the lines, Only one
dancer remained to weather what now
seemed like a violent storm as the other
dancers manipulated the straps from off
stage and threw her bark and forth amidst
the violent waves of the sea.

The music for the next piece, Graph,
was slowerer paced, seemingly lulled
through the synthesizer, The curtain raised
to unveil the grid pattern of a graph which
started from the center of the stage floor
and rose on’a curve to the ceiling of the
back of the stage. Infront of the raised
graph was the pattern of the continuing
grid covering the floor. The dancers mov:
ed within the grid patern in. linear
movements restricted by the geometry of
the squares, Each step was by quadrant and
only randomly did a dancer freeform
across the pattern for a short instant, stopp
ing himself as if something would take
away his freedom to soon. Yet after this
But he hurt me. He hurt me, I let him, and |
always let him. I hate him.
She turned off the water and sank to the
bottom of the tub, She shivered as the cold
draft mingled with the droplets on her
skin,
Thave to stop it, but Il never get away
from him, Never. I can't. [love him, No. |
hate him. Il stop him, He won't hurt me
again.
After she'd dressed and colored her eyes
and long fingernails, she went into the liv-
ing room to wait for Michael. She heard
him in the hall. She saw him walk in and
his eyes get closer to hers until the two
eyes became one eye, and she felt him kiss
her.
“What's wrong, Lisa? Come on. You're
not still mad.”
She picked up the smail, hard pistol that
sat next to her on the couch, waiting with
her.
“Michael, you're finally going to get
what you deserve,” She put the gun to her
head and pulled the trigger,
first escape from the linear bond, the
whole troupe began to enjoy the random
motion as the stiffness of movement gave
way to staccatto leaps and slow streches
that explored the rigid boundaries which
encased them.
The other parts of this piece explored
the range of movement that the human
body may take, and beyond, In one such
segment, two dancers were positioned
upside-down, almost defying gravity with
their legs above their heads, against a large
3x3 plastic grid upon which their legs
became the hands of a clock as they rested
their shoulders on the floor. It seemed as if
any skeletonal support was eliminated
from their bodies as their legs rotated along,
the face of the clock, After this physical
embodiment of time, they moved behind
the panes of the grid, stepped up on the
ledge, and the grids holding the dancers
were carried away by figures dressed in
cloaks,
As the lights were raised to signal inter-
mission, the audience was allowed to catch
it’s breath from a spectacular combination
of visual imagery from light to motion.
The second ‘half, which was made up of
several pieces under the title, The
Mechanical Organ, was, just that,
mechanical, Perhaps it paled in comparison
since the veiwer was accustomed to the
brilliance experienced in the first half
However it was not without it's high
points, for a group such as this was not
found to be lacking in imagination. Yet the
second half fell short of the aesthetic im-
pact which the first half had made with the
aid of the lighting and costumes,
The last piece brought with it the more
human side of the dancers as,they played
back and forth with each other, balancing
and performing acrobatic leaps that intert-
wined into a semblance of human emotion
and imagery.
One can only be facinated at the inven:
liveness and genius of the Nickolais Dance
Theatre and hope that in the future, one
will once again see the freshness and
creativity which Nickolais has brought to
the stage. o

UB40, Moses
“Pop music is baby food. If there was any real political
difference made by pop music, it wouldn't be played on
the radio.”
Jimmy Brown, drummer of UB40
day, performed their full repertoire of roots reggae,
sparkling pop, and smooth funk and dub at the
Palace Theatre last Thursday night. With their latest
album, Geffrey Morgan and current single "If It Happens
Again” riding comfortably on the US charts, UB40 were
relaxed in front of the receptive crowd,
Jonas Nachsin
Pablo Moses, the opening act, was as good a warm-up
band as I've seen in quite some time. Their style was ex-
citing and refreshing, given the band’s fearlessness and
flexibility in stepping out of standard reggae ground - they
combine a strong guitar sound with the traditional Jamican
flavor.
UB40 opened the show with "Riddle Me” from the new
album, It was a pi.ture-perfect rendering 0: the studio \ er
sion, and its foray into syncopated, frenetic drumming
characterizes the band's present sound,
ASP: "How do you feel about a band preaching politics
while profiting quite nicely from the system they criticize so,
harshly?"
Jimmy itrown: "I dor. t think that y-olitics is the .cason .or
doing what we do, Politics (in the songs) is for us only-it's
cour therapy. I'm not a reformist and I don't believe that
political re-organization makes a differece in society. I don't
really believe in any social structure. I believe in anarchy.”
ASP: Do you see the band as promoting the entire reggae
genre?”
Brown: “We see that there’s a chance that reggae can be
part of Ataerica, becat.« it can cha..ye the music scene w. i!
did in Britain. No really good pop music. has broker
mainstream at all because America is in the grip of WASP.
rock radio stations who still play Journey. For good music to
be underground just isn’t enough.”
“Present Arms” was fantastic on the virture of its wall-O-

power and exuberance, “D,U.B,,” from the new album, and

"Madame Medusa,” were also standout concert numbers.
The latter, an old standard about Margaret Thatcher, has
lost none of its satirical bite. They closed the show with a
funked-up extended version of “One in Ten,” a song that

1 A statistical reminder of a world that doesn’t care.”
ASP: "Who is Geffrey Morgan?”
Brown: "Nobody-it was taken from a piece of graffitti we
saw on the wall which we thought was funny. A lot of peo-
ple ask us that’
ASP: "Do you yt upset whcn people reuse to recognize
UBAO as a true teggae band because of your modern style
and your English heritage?”
‘You get upset when you are criticized when people
‘are right. But in this’ case, they're basically criticizing us

many of tise Jamaican w.tists that we loved befor. we starved
playing, such as. Burning Spear. Reggae is growing and
developing quicker than any other form of music, To me,
the most exciting reggae has happened in the last four or
five years. It's an aggressive style for the people involved.”
at the Palace
We all know that Steve Marks, former ASPie, must have
something substantial to contribute to impressions of the
concert, since his wit knows no- stylistic. boundaries. 1
graciously asked Sir Marksman to lend his literary prowess
tomy review, and this is what he came up with: “It's
definitely pi that both UB40 guitarists are left-handed,” No
review would be complete without a comment from my
mentor, Stu, of "Stu’s Reviews” fame. He spewed out this
gem: “Iliked that guy, wh, Pablo Ci vise.” Andy snformesl a
confused Stu that the correct name was in fact Pablo Moses,
and confirmed Stu’s earlier contention that their lead
guitarist did play a solo with his teeth. We're al still arguing
over the actual number of players on stage when Pablo
Moses jammed with UB4O. I say 16, Andy says 17, and Stu
holds out with an 18-count. Tiiese are the things coll ge-
educated discussions are made of.
And now, more Jimmy:
ASP: “Do you eel that the resolution of the miners strike:
will have a great effect on the working class in Britain and in
other areas?”
Brown: “\ ve shall see... find it fi.ghtening that the right
wing has infiltrated the unions to the point. that they've
become powerless. We saw the miner's strike as a black and
white issue, and we did do some concerts to provide funds
for them. Arthur Scargill (leader of the miner’s cause) is one
of the most interesting political figures in England.”
ASP. “Is it true tinat UB40 me. on an empivyment line.”
Brown: “No-half of us went to school together and were
already friends, Most of us.were unemployed when we
started, some were employed, but in dead-end jo!
ASP: “Do you see yourselves as spokesmen for the reggae
cause?”
Brown: “\e're not real martyrs fu. the reggae cause. Ve
don’t need to be thought of as pioneers introducing people
fo a new form of music. It would be nice torthink that peo-
iple are influenced by what we do. If they don’t appreciate
‘our political ideas, it doesn’t make any difference as long as
they enjoy the music. Pop music has no clout at all: nothing
can be achieved tls. ough pop nvusic. Some binds try to rally
around ard gather for a specific political cause. This high-
profile politics excludes people who don't believe in those
same ideas. lt doesn’t really spread the word. I used to
believe that you can change the world, I still think that you
need to try, but 'm not sure how todo itanymore.”.

Kerouac and Friends, A Beat Generation
Album, put together by Fred W. McDar-
rah, is a nostalgic scrap book, a friendly ar-
ray of atticles borrowed from sources such
as The Evergreen Review, The New York
Timés, Herald Tribune, The Nation, The
Village Voice; written by critics and the
people being criticized. The thickly word:

room, or bathroom, depending on your
mood,
The reasons for the Beatniks’
withdrawal, according to the book, were
the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagisaki; America’s changing communities
where families were breaking apart for cor
porate jobs and neighbors were nothing,
more than strangers; in. short, the
breakdown of morals. This breakdown had
been a long time developing: Man’s faith in
God was withdrawn in favor of a feeling
that man is the ultimate, rational being, an
idea hurt by World War One and lost it
the wreckage of World War Two. This
super rational being was still capable, of
war, just at a higher level. So developed a
Beat Generation. A generation

clothing, interests in Eastern religions,
marijuana, poetry, folk songs and a list of
other seemingly blissful occupations. They

‘group that was striving for individuality,

Kerouac wrote and published 22 books,
quite an achievement, Something was be-
ing overlooked.
Jack Kerouac was seen as the founding
father, the leader of the Beat Generation.
He even coined the phrase. The press built
him up to be the leader of the hipsters,
juvenille delinquents who acted cool, along
with any other rebellious group, After
reading this book one feels motherly
towards Kerouac. This man, he was.a child.
None of his critics do him justice. Nothing
does him justice except his own writing. In
a piece entitled The Last Word, which i in
the book, he discusses man’s bloody and
sad history. Kerouac ends il, ..When the

treated as such, that all things whether liv.

or unborn, and whether in the form of mat-
ter or emply space, are simply the body of
God?
This Beat Generation did have
something to say. They just didn’t offer
answers to the problems they presented. In
fact, these people generally did not fit in

Puig’s Brazil is steamy
BLOOD OF REQUITED LOVE
By Manuel Puig
Vintage Books, distr, by Random House
202pp,$7.95
Ever since the tale of Adam, Eve,
and the forbidden fruit was chronicl-
ed in the scrolls of the Old Testament, tales
of romance have been changing and slowly
evolving. The modern romance, as
evidenced by the works of Erica Long,
Norman Mailer, Harold Robbing, Richard
Maibaum and others, is frequently found
to be clinically charged with gratuitous sex
and vehement physical force. In Blood of
Requited Love, Manuel Puig gives us a
novel which exemplifies the contemporary
romance.
'M.O. Thomas
ln the recollections put forth in the
story, the protagonist-narrator is a Brazilian
playboy named Josemar Feireira. While in
the company of Maria da Gloria, one of
L iterary romance is never outmoded,
+ many young Innocents deflowered by
Josemar, he describes a rocky life in pursuit
of pucuniary gain, interspersed with occa-
sional carnal pleasures. This is not A
Child's Garden of Verses, to be sure; the
events depicted are of a protean nature and
represent the quintessential synthesis of
existentialism and hedonism.
Josemar; now an older gentleman return:
ing to his native city to reflect on his past,
slearly feels the world is indifferent and
hostile. He took his pleasure playing soc-
cer, cavorting with a wide array of women,
experiencing the Sao Paulo nightlife and,
inadvertently, assumed the role of
character assassin, Gloria's rapidly
deteriorating mental health comes as a
direct result of Josemar’s elaborate mind
games and frivolity.
Josemar’s manly (1 use the term in its
worst sense, I assure you) qualities are
always in full form, as seen in this excerpt
So he showed up like that in that
darkness at the edge of the dance floor, he
looked and saw Azucena leaning against a
jaca plant, pretty sad, So he arrived like
that, he grabbed her from behind and gave
her a big kiss, as if a bomb had exploded,
smack! and she said, “But my God, you
sure are late enough! They've already serv:
ed a keg of beer, they served the cake
already, | don’t know what else, grilled
meat,” $o he said, “It's not important, |
Know what concerns me and it’s well
guarded.” And upon saying that he gave
her a slap on the fattest part of her ass, yes?
And she was still mad, and he said to her,
“You didn’t save me any of that beer they
passed around, right? And you didn’t save
me any cake, either, so youll have to give
me something, And that’s what I came
looking for, ‘not the fucking beer or the
fucking cake, understand?” So she said,
“Hell, this guy's got some nerver" She com-
plained, she talked a bit too much, but later
on everything straightened itself out, they
went to dance is that clear? Samba, bolero,
waltz,
Josemar personifies the less attractive
side of Brazil. His childhood was plagued
by an unkind father and frequent bad luck,
His ambitions for power and wealth are
continually frustrated, He has little emo-
tional control or redeeming social qualities,
not much unlike the less polular characters
from the works of Camus and Sartre.
Josemar possesses demonic qualities,
resembling something from the seventh
level of hell. In the tradition of the German
expressionists, Puig strips away pleasant
facades to reveal the seamy underbelly of
Josemar Gerreira's Brazil
Hell, the problem with work on the one
hand and on top of that his mother's illness,
he’s really screwed, So he doesn’t have

change before him. He could no longer
hitch-hike. No one would pick him up.
Two weeks before his death he went into
an alien bar, as he'd done so many times
before, with a friend and got badly beaten
up by some angry blacks, Kerouac
withdrew further and further into himself
and died a drunkard's death,
Now Kerouac’s wisdom and followers
seem long forgotten. Yet, I envy these
times, Times when Washington Square
Park was overflowing with folk singers,
friends, and families instead of dealers,
wierdos and rollerskaters. Back then one
could get an apartment for 45 dollars a
month, talk about poetry and any other art
form in a free, honest way in a local pub,
bookstore or Beatnick party. Thinking of
what's left of the Village, I think of how I
won't be able to find a parking space, how
I'm sure there'll be a Barnes and Nobles and
if there are any remaining clubs they'll be
sure to melt my funds.
How will our generation be looked at?
A typical question. A question that is too
broad to be addressed properly yet too in-
teresting to leave alone. My. gencration is
the Walkman Generation. Everyone has
headphones. We put them on and walk to
work, walk to class, sit on a bus, Nobody
can ask us for a light or directions. We
don’t know anyone and don't have to pre-
tend we do. Maybe we need the head
phones over our ears to keep whatever we
have in our heads from ebbing out. Sure.
this could be contrived as extreme, [have a

of my desk drawer and the batteries fre

dedicate a little time to sex, is that clear?
For aguy to enjoy the sexual side, he has to
forget about everything, yes? He should be
able to say Im not owing money to
anyone nor having problems with
anyone, . he shouldn’t go on pulling out
his hair, yes?
This inevitably brings us around to the
time-honored subject of maturity, What is
maturity? Why do most young people
seem to be preoccupied with achieving it?
“Maturity” somehow seems synonymous
with "rigor mortis”, For Josemar's mother,
maturity is an illness wich keeps her vir-
tually bedridden, For Gloria, shattered
nerves and serious maladjustment are the
claim to maturity. Josemar, with his chang:
ing stories about what really happened on
Gloria's virginal night, with his xenophobia
of the past, and his perpetual fall from
grace, has become mature, Maturity is a
prospect Manuel Puig has designed to be as
appealing as death-on-a-stick, and equally
attractive,
As in Puig’s Heartbreak Tango, there is
again a lone of heavy irony in Blood of Re-
quited Love which dominates the pro:
ceedings and spells out the virtures of
youth,

George and Jasper
Targeting Johns
“Johns is not usually thought of as a figurative artist. He
is probably more well-known for his ‘numerological
figures’ rather than human figures,” stated Art History Pro-
fessor Roberta Bernstein in a slide talk entitled “Jasper
Johns; Body Fragments” given in the Humanities loung a
few wecks ago. The presentation was attended by an in-
terested group of 30 people in Progress series sponsored
by the Center for Humanities.
Johns is best known for his paintings of American flags,
targets and overlapping letters and numerals. Bernstein
focuses on Johns’ use of casts of body parts in his work.
The casts appear in compartments built above the targets,
and in other works, an arm cast may be strangely juxtapos-
ed with numbers or abstract cross-hatching patterns.
Johns employs a variety of these body parts in his work
including eyeless faces, breasts, partial torsos, penises and
hands. The most commonly portrayed parts being disem
bodied arms and legs. In his “Target With Four
Faces"(1955), four eyeless faces appear in separated com-
partments above a target. The bulls-eye substitutes for the
missing eyes which makes the veiwer feel uneasy and
vunerable. Another recurring theme is the presence of an
upside-down seated figure on the upper part of the canvas,
usually indicated by the chair and leg casts. The effect of
this is also unsettling to the viewer. Body parts are objec-
tified in a surrealist fashion, influenced by Magritte as well
as such Dada influences as Marcel Duchamp.
Johns makes life-size casts of the parts, which are then
hung or placed on the canvas, “Johns himself
acknowledges the impossibility of eliminating the disturb-
ing effect of seeing the human body in fragments,” accor-
ding to Professor Bernstein. He is objectifying the parts
while using them for expression.
Professor Bernstein recently finished a book, which
came out last week, entitled, Jasper Johns’ Paintings and
Sculptures 1954-1974; “The Changing Focus of the Eye”.

which is in’ this month’s Arts Magazine on the artist

George and Jasper
Targeting Johns
“Johns is not usually thought of as a figurative artist. He
is probably more well-known for his ‘numerological
figures’ rather than human figures,” stated Art History Pro-
fessor Roberta Bernstein in a slide talk entitled “Jasper
Johns: Body Fragments” given in the Humanities loung a
few weeks ago, The presentation was attended by an in:
terested group of 30 people in Progress series sponsored
by the Center for Humanities
Johns is best known for his paintings of American flags,
targets and overlapping letters and numerals. Bernstein
focuses on Johns’ use of casts of body parts in his work.
The casts appear in compartments built above the targets,
and in other works, an arm cast may be strangely juxtapos
ed with numbers or abstract cross-hatching patterns.
Johns employs a variety of these body parts in his work
including eyeless faces, breasts, partial torsos, penises and
hands. The mast commonly portrayed parts being disem:
bodied arms and legs. In his “Target. With Four
vunerable. Another recurring theme is the presence of an
upside-down seated figure on the upper part of the canvas,
usually indicated by the chair and leg casts. The effect of
this is also unsettling to the viewer. Body parts are objec-
tified in a surrealist fashion, influenced by Magritte as well
as such Dada influences as Marcel Duchamp,
Johns makes life-size casts of the parts, which are then
hung or placed on the canvas. “Johns himself
acknowledges the impossibility of eliminating the disturb-
ing effect of seeing the human body in fragments,” accor-
ding to Professor Bernstein, He is objectifying the parts
while using them for expression.
Professor Bernstein recently finished a book, which
came out last week, entitled, Jasper Johns’ Paintings and
Sculptures 1954-1974: "The Changing Focus of the Eye".
‘Additionally, she has had many articles pubished, one of

forget it. The best spring hiking is in the
foothills and flatlands close to where you
live.
Neither Jeremiah Johnson, nor the Dalai
Lama, nor even Sasquatch could be per-
suaded to roam the ridges during the
spring flush. Spring is worthless in the
mountains, Some years winter refuses to
make room: other years lusty winds and
rain turn the highlands into runoff soup.
For spring hikes, accessibility determines
quality. Consequently, the cultivation of
good local hiking trails is a regional pas-

ance, When you're ready to roll, here’s how
to get started.
The Pre-Amble
When you're keyed up enough to start
packing, think long and hard about the
pounds-to-pleasure ratio. When carrying a
fully appointed pack ~ food, clothing, shel
ter, bedding — you are in effect carrying a
lurnished studio apartment on your back
Thoreau, the most astute of supertramps,
counseled “When { have met an immigrant

Lay out everything that you are consider-

ecstasy warrant the agony of carrying that
extra ration of marshmallows? that vintage
1969 Cabernet Sauvignon? those mono-
grammed pajamas? that framed portralt of
mother? Let your back do the answering.

Some vistas, some kinds of happy solitude, are only delivered by foot power (right).
(Below) Glance through the fence rails and you'll notice these hikers in the Great Smokey
‘Mountains have discovered the pleasures of a rest stop.
Because of the space race and the spin-
off of lightweight, resilient materials, back-
packing has gone from the primordial to
the posh in less than a decade. The bewil-
dering assortment of adjustable metal-
frame packs, flexible but fixed plastic-frame
packs and convertible internal-frame packs
can cause the rookie to consider taking up
bocce ball or water polo instead. Don't be
intimidated. Shop around, not only for the
pack itself, but also for a knowledgeable
outdoor store proprietor. Insist on trying
the pack with an improvised load. Hike
around the shop, sit down, bend over,
climb up and down stairs. if the pack follows
you. providing freedom, flex and float (a
pack properly suspended from the hip
should feel as if it is floating slightly away
from your back), then you have a fit
smoother than Betty Grable's nylons.
Eating Out
Most freeze-dried food tastes like saw-
dust and contains little in the way of ani-
mal octane. Instead of some fluff in foll
take along pemmican, butter, cheese,
beans, oatmeal and dense-as-a-brick brown
bread. In other words, stock up on the
same type of high-fat, high-protein grub
that fueled Admiral Peary's crazed assault
‘on the North Pole. Real food never goes
out of style.
Do not leave anything in rigid contain-
efs; use zip-lock bags for repackaging ev-
erything, even mulligan stew, and plan
meals so that you order from the luxury
menu first. As burger emporiums recede
into the dust, you get less picky, and as
your pack gets lighter your consciousness
climbs higher.
Depth of Field
Backpacking ventures, by their very na-
ture, are unforgettable, Images imprint
deeper into your memory because there
are no civilized distractions, no murderous
machines, no Three's Company reruns fog-
ging up your skull, But those outdoor inter-
ludes committed to film ate indisputably
indelible, Personally, | would rather leave
behind half my provisions and all of my
fresh Hanes than my 300-millimetre lens.
Fortunately one need not forsake protein
nor hygiene for photography. The prudent
selection of camera equipment will easily
put your “field research” in clear focus.
Wilderness light is a fickle phenomenon,
requiting both fast and slow film. Koda-
chrome 64 and Kodak Ektachrome 400 films
cover every vagrant light. But outdoor pho-
tographers with tenacity and a certain mad
glint in the eye may prefer the color satura-
tion qualities of Kodachrome 25 film, For
black and white photography there is no
quandary; Kodak Tri-X pan film is the most
facile film that ever went for a dip in devel-
oping solution.

With the capabilities of contemporary
single-lens-reflex cameras, most strobes,
meters, filters, cable releases and the like
become superfluous gadgets. A basic selec-
tion of high-caliber lenses, on the other
hand, provide an indispensable window on
the outdoor world. Though not the last
word, the following set of lenses promise
trall-tested performance: 50 mm {/1.4, a
‘compact, high-speed, all-purpose lens par-
ticularly useful for scenic and candid shots;
100 mm {74 macro, a wildly versatile lens
ideal for zeroing in on the cosmos at your
feet, as well as standard nature study and
portraiture; 300 mm {/4, a truly portable
telephoto so fast and crisp that it provides
a range of handheld shooting possibilities
from the journalistic to the romantic.
Inside Track
“Of the many vows that | took, | have
found the one about travelling on foot to
be the most beneficial.” ~ Gandhi
Because it requires less strength than
state of mind, backpacking is as much a re-
ligion as it is a recreation, That does not
mean It is a somber or mystical affair. After
all, backpacking is not really a faith, but a
small fervor. And it is a blessedly physical
as well as mental endeavor which leaves
worldly concerns and clocks and concrete
and digital devices far behind. No stress,
no strain, no interfacing. What better Rx for
psychic paralysis than to get off your tail
and hit the trail?
Doc Bucolic’s List of
Backpacking Gear
It is far better that the pilgrim make a
U-turn for the provinces than head into the
hinterland ill-prepared. Doc Bucolic sug-
gests that you bash a few books, brain-
drain backpacking acquaintances and
browse outdoor stores. But the quickest,
most pleasant way to become an experi-
enced timber rat is to enlist with a back-
packing club, then accompany them on
a shakedown cruise. In the meantime, Doc
Bucolic preaches the following notions con-

Whatever must be bold, whatever must be

trio. Change black to dark blue and you have
the recipe for an American flag, for just one

Acting on his hunch, Heins went looking

(continued from page 5)
Footwear: Boots are weights which must
be lifted and relifted, continually breaking
the grip of gravity. Most hikers take approx-
imately 2,000 steps a mile, averaging about
ten miles a day. That's 20,000 steps; if your
boots weigh even one pound each, that's
20 tons of overlooked freight. Choose foot-
wear that weighs mere ounces. High-
arched running shoes are an inexpensive
alternative to the costlier, heavier trail
boot. Buy only footwear which fits the
first lacing, “Breaking-in” shoes went out
with corsets,
Backpacks: You won't find what you want
at a discount store. Stick to the dedicated
outdoor stores. Remember that there is a
correlation between quality and cost. Your
spine will resent you for every penny you
pinch.
Rain-ment: Comfort, warmth and quality
can be summed up in one word — Gore-
Tex, a fabric which is windproof, water-
proof, light weight and breathable. A dou-
ble stitched, seam-sealed Gore-Tex parka
will serve admirably as rain gear, all pur-

Sleeping Bags: Poly is jolly. Every manu-
facturer has his own name, from PolyGuard

ester is less expensive, more durable and
more versatile than goose or duck down
Wet or dry, poly retains its loft and does

Sleeping Pads: Undoubtedly the easiest

Rundgren.
A child of Detroit and Miami Beach High

the University of Michigan, where she took
two degrees in three years (a teaching cer-

Goldsmith never figured she would be a

the show, she took a surprised look at

your lens). Even if your lens Is not that fast.
you can still take low-light photographs —
but you may need to use a tripod to keep
your camera steady for longer exposures.
Votive candles provide even, warm
light, as well as an unusual frame for
the subject.
In either case, make sure you're using an
appropriate film for your subject. Koda
color VR 400 or 1000 film is recommend-
ed for color prints. The higher speed (1000)
is preferable for extremely low light. The
lower-speed film offers more versatility In
a wider range of situations. Kodak Ekta-
chrome 200 or 400 film can be used for
slides shot in natural light, or Kodak Ek-
tachrome 160 film for slides when the pre-
dominant light source Is from tungsten
bulbs. Kodak Tri-X pan film Is recom-
mended for black and white shots.
Almost all indoor settings lit without
flash or other professional gear would be
considered low-light photographic oppor-
tunities. These settings often provide
pleasing results, because sunshine filtering
in through windows eliminates harsh
shadows and makes for even, flattering
light. To maximize this condition, make
sure window shades and blinds are opened,
whenever possible. Similarly. when shoot-
ing indoors at night or on overcast days, It
may help to turn on all lights in the room.
Along exposure transformed car head-
lights Into luminous streaks.
When taking pictures in this manner, try
to position your subject facing the light.
Take a meter reading from the subject's
face, or whatever area you consider the most
important part of the shot. If you include
the light source, or even large portions of a
reflective surface such as a light-colored wall
in the reading, you risk “fooling” your light
meter and underexposing your subject
Conversely, try not to include much of the
‘open window or other light source in the
frame. This part may be overexposed if you
have taken a reading from your subject
Other kinds of low-light photo oppor-
tunities take place outside the home after
daylight, Early evening is a good time to
capture sunsets and other nature shots
in a soft, pleasing light. In addition, most
city lights are turned on by this time, and
they can serve as the focal point of a va
rlety of shots.
It's easy to take pictures of city lights at
night, because they turn out well at a wide
range of exposures. Perhaps a stream of
automobile headlights along a dark road-
way makes for an interesting geometric
design in black and white. Or, you might
prefer shooting a colorful neon sign, or
an entire block of storefronts. Fast shut-
ter speeds will emphasize detail In the
lights themselves, while longer exposures
result in more detail in surrounding shad-
dow areas

No clues to Wilson’s whereabouts after 16 days
Police departments join forces to find Wilson
350 students participate in search for clues

As Dawn Stent waited to board the bus that would take her group to search for missing
SUNYA student Karen Wilson, she said she felt a pit in her stomach.
“I'm afraid and nervous, very nervous,” seid Stent.
ing what to find.”
‘Stent was one of about 350 students that showed up fo participate in the search for
Wilson, missing since March 27. Siudents were to look for any evidence that would sup-
port or supplement previous knowledge
about Wilson's whereabouts when last
seen. But the search was not to be an easy
one, especially for students who knew
Wilson personally.
If | found Karen, I'd scream first and
then I'd cry,”” said Stent, who worked with
Wilson this year on the University Judicial
Committee. “1 do want to find her,
because there's still that question mark in
my mind. 1 want to find
something.”
Richard Butterfield,
‘one of the many state
troopers that coor-
dinated the search, isa
K-9 handler, and is thus familiar with sear-
ching for lost persons, prison escapees and
the like,
“{t will be a tough thing for the students
to do,” said Butterfield. “Even for a
poiice officer, it’s tough. I was a diver for
the police years back, and I recovered 18
drowning victims. It's part of the job, But

If the students did find her, it would be
something for them to remember the rest
of their lives,”* he added.
For the students that came, the desire to
help out overwhelmed the fear of finding
something unpleasant.
“If it were me, I would want people to
look for me," said sophomore Carmel
Reilly, ‘I'd want to find anything to help
her parents. But I'm still uneasy, because
you don’t know what you're going to
find.”
The last bus pulled away from the
Public Safety Building, on its way to Fuller
Road. As the bus slowed to a stop, the
students began to file out slowly, almost
reluctantly. Orie of the last students to step
off the bus was graduate student Tracey

STAFF WRITER
A total cooperative effort is being made throughout SUNYA as well as by county,
state and regional police departments, according to Director of SUNYA Public Safety,
Jim Williams, to find Karen Wilson, a SUNYA student reported missing since March 27
when she failed to return to her Colonial Quad dorm room as expected.
At this point extensive searches are being held in an effort to locate Wilson, who is
believed to have been last seen walking south on Fuller Road toward Washington Avenue

‘and Libby Post, former SA Media Director, news of Wilson's disappearance began to
filter out through radio, television and newspapers
SATURDAY, MARCH 30 to MONDAY, APRIL 1: State troopers, K-9 divisions and

reportedly last seen, On Monday, the University sent out letters to each student, pro-
viding information about the Wilson disappearance,

near the entrance of six mile waterworks.
“Our major concern at this point is to
do everything we can to locate Karen,"
said SUNYA President Vincent O'Leary,
Wilson, a senior, is about five feet three
inches tall, weighs 115 pounds and has
light sandy brown hair and light brown
eyes. She is 22 years old and is believed to
have been wearing blue jeans, a blue short
sleeve shirt, a white rain coat and white
tennis shoes. She may have been wearing
large rimmed glasses,
Students on campus have shown their
committment and concern with the pro
blem by participating in a student search
held Thursday.
According to Williai about 300
SUNYA students participated in a
“footsearch’” that covered several square
miles of wooded area on and around
pus. The search lasted from 10 a.m. until
3:30 p.m., said Williams, but no leads
were found,
“The students were fantastic, the tur-
out was much more than expected,”
Williams said, “they deserve credit."”
The. cooperation on-campus in this
search extends to all areas, According to
Frank Pogue, President of Student
Affairs, both Colonial Quad and Student
Association are helping to get students in-
volved in the search, “One thing that is be.
ng projected by all aspects of the universi-
ty is the need to be aware of each other,"
he sai
According to SA President Rich Schaf-
fer, SA has been involved from the mo-
ment they were“notified by Public Safety
that Wilson was missing. ‘We ran off all
the flyers and sent letters to the group
leaders to get people involved," he said,

Friedman said that Colonial Quad was do-
ing their best to recruit as many students as

Male bias keeps women’s roles out of academia
By Doreen Clark
‘The curriculum in institutions of higher
priests presented with a male bias
and excludes women’s. contributions in
many fields, according to Bonnie Spanier,
the director of SUNYA’s Women Studies
Program,
Spanier, a Harvard University graduate
who previously worked at Wheaton Col-
lege in a program designed to develop the
study of women in various disciplines,
made her remarks Wednesday as part of
the President’s Inaugural Lectureship
Series.
‘Women’s contributions, said Spanier,
are often virtually ignored’ in areas as
diverse as literature, science, and
philosophy, and therefore leaves education
incomplete
One example she cited was Jansten's
History of Art, which ignores art works by
women in the fields of quilting and
gardens, Perhaps more seriously, she said,
is the failure by researchers to include
women in many labor or psychology
studies.
It has only been recently, Spanier told
the audience, that decisions as to who or
what is considered important have not
been completely male oriented. ‘Even the
rats (in psychology experiments) were
white and male,"* she added.
Professors that have increased informa-
tion concerning women in their curriculum
have noticed increased interest in the
course by students, Spanier noted,
Students also seem to think more critically
instead of accepting information readily,
Spanier said.
One source Spanier quoted said, “1
think that it is essential to integrate the
study of women throughout the cur-
riculum. Our (status) as scholars is at
stake."
Another advantage she pointed out in-
volves the perspective of women outside of
the classroom. “Taking women seriously
in the classroom," she said, ‘will promote
taking women seriously in the world."
Curriculum must also be updated as it in-
cludes newly found and researched
information,
Many institutions do show an interest in
including women's contributions in educa-
tion, as over seventy institutions par-
ticipated in a 1983 National Conference
held by Wheaton College, she said. In-
dustries such as Ford have also offered
grants for research and development in the
Different approaches have been
developed to incorporate the study of
women into curriculum. One method has.
n to hire new faculty members by pro-
nars on women's contributions
to a discipline. This approach was follow.
ed by Yale University, which also offers a
major in Women’s Studies.
Other universities make use of con-
sultants in the field, Such consultants hold
workshops to present the information to
existing faculty, Spanier said, adding the
project developed in Wheaton involved the
ee of seminars, eetures, and study groups
