“We are here to think, listen, and maybe tke some
action,” said Assemblyman Edward Sullivan, chair-
man of the Standing Committee on Higher ea
at a public hearing on Tuesday.

‘This hearing was called in response to the recent
rise in social and cultural controversies across SUNY
campuses.

Flourante Galvez, SUNY Oneonta faculty member
said, “We are talking about human rights that all stu-
dents should receive.”

SUNY Oneonta has received widespread public
attention since September, 1992, when a list of Black
males was illegally released by school officials to aid
in a criminal investigation. “An affront against one

- Diana Budhai, Assistant Vice-President for

can be seen in the town surrounding her campus. She
‘said, “The town is not as receptive as the campus to
students of color.” _

This is not a problem that i is ‘exclusively New

Representatives from many other SUNY schools
were in attendance, including Vice—Presidents from

similar issues.

_ Many of the i issues discussed were similar to events
that have occurred on the Albany campus within the
last few months,

Most recently, student. featcatian with SUNYA
administrators reached a boiling point, resulting in a
“sit-in” at the Administration building. :

Minister Lynwood X, representative of the Nation of
Islam, discussed the beliefs of the Nation of Islam and
some of the recent events on campus as part of Black
Solidarity Day in the Campus Center Ballroom Tuesday
afternoon.

In discussing the poster displayed by the Revisionist
Zionist Alternative, which stated: “Every Jew: A .22-Meir
Kahane said: Neo-Nazis, Muslim Fundamentalists, and
Farrakan(sic): Jews might fight our enemies with guns,
knives and fists,“ he said students should have responded
with a poster of their own. “Instead,” he said, “you went
and complained and got scared.”

Before his speech, the minister asked a female student if
any Jews were going to show up to his speech, when she
said she didn’t know, he said he told her, “I hope they do,
because I'll kick their butts.” He said the student was
offended because she was Jewish.

The minister referred to the bible as “the poison book.”
It has truth in it, he said, but it also has a lot of lies.

He also addressed elements of the Catholic religion. “If
Jesus died on the cross, why do you want to wear it around
your neck?” he asked. He also equated the symbolic
drinking of the blood of Christ at Catholic masses to canni-

| balism. The perception of Christ as white is based on
ects on tal campuses, but ‘te necessary resources are

Michelangelo’s version of Christ which is really based on
his uncle. “Jesus was a black man according to this book,”
he said, referring to the Koran. The idea of immaculate
conception in the bible is really “accusing God of rape,” he
said.

‘We’ve been stripped and robbed of the knowledge of
ourselves,” Lynwood X said, referring to black identity.
“We don’t yet know the meaning of unity,” he told the
audience, “until we see greatness in ourselves...there will
never be unity.”

The Minister said that at the Nation of Islam, .“we’re

taught we need to be separate...that does not mean that
we can’t deal with Caucasian people.” He referred to
“vanilla suburbs and chocolate cities” to demonstrate that
blacks and whites can’t live together.

Forget Rodney King’s “why can’t we all just get along?”
he said, “there’s not going to be any getting along.” “See
Caucasians for who they are, they are human beings, but
they are different,” he said.

College professors try to create students in their image,”
Lynwood X said. “When you come here (to college), you

More than a dozen students died
Tuesday afternoon on the Academic
Podium in mock deaths in a “death
walk“ to raise the awareness of stu-
dents to the danger of AIDS to
women and to raise questions about
inequality in AIDS research on
women.

The demonstration was sponsored

by, and included members of: the
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Alliance, ACT-
UP, the Women’s Issues Office, and
the Peer Survivors Network.

The demonstration began in front of
the campus center with approximately
15 people carrying signs dealing with
various AIDS issues and chanting
“silence equals death, women get
AIDS.” They continued the chant
while walking around the academic
podium engaging in mock deaths in

front of the performing arts center,
near the administration building, and
in front of the library and campus cen-
ter.

The mock deaths consisted of most
of the members of the group falling to
the ground while other members out-
lined their bodies in chalk.

Jesse Epstein, a member of LGBA
and the primary organizer of the
event, said originally half the partici-
pants were supposed to dress in shirts
and ties while the other half would
dress in black. She said the shirts and
ties were to symbolize men dealing
with only men’s AIDS issues. Those
dressed in black were to symbolize
women dying of AIDS.

All of the participants showed up
wearing black but Epstein said this
didn’t take away from the power of
the symbolism.

Epstein said she wanted the demon-
stration to “raise consciousness and
educate women about AIDS.”

One of the questions Epstein said
she wanted the march to raise was
why most AIDS research is directed at
men who get the disease.

Epstein said there were also prob-
lems with how the deaths of women

Rooms that have previously been used
to isolate students with chicken pox, hep-
atitis and other infectious diseases in the
infirmary may be used in the future for
AIDS patients who attend SUNYA, said
Neil Brown, Associate Vice-President for
Health and Counseling Services.

“There have been no confirmed cases at
SUNYA,” said Brown who added that
several months ago Health Services began
to gather information on AIDS (Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome), educate
its staff, and prepare itself if such a situa-
tion arose.

“All of the staff feel the same way,” he
said. “Any student or visitor to campus
would receive treatment or emergency
care upon initial diagnosis of AIDS just
like any other health issue,” Brown said,
adding that depending upon the severity
the patient might be referred to an off
campus health facility.

The infirmary lacks such facilities as a
radiology unit, and x-ray machine which
diagnose pneumonia, an ailment some-
times afflicting the AIDS patient. Such

“procedures could have to be done at a hos-
pital, Brown stated.

“Our health educators do need educa-
tion about AIDS” continued Brown. “We
have sent our nurses and physicians to
conferences, and they've all been made
aware of the AIDS Council in Albany as a
resource,” he said.

“T went to a two-day conference held at
the Police Academy,” said Michele
Lennon, the nurse in charge of outpatient
at the infirmary. “The consensus of opin-
ion at the conference was that among all
the health care workers wh
with AIDS, there have be
AIDS,” she said.

“Although I feel comfo a
dealing with AIDS, I need more info:
tion,” Lennon said, adding that “there has
been no panic among the infirmary staff.”

“We do treat hepatitis and infectious
mono,” said Lennon, “and we will treat an
AIDS patient the same as any other infec-
tious patient.”

Five Quad, SUNYA's volunteer ambu-
lance service, has also made plans in case
they have to deal with a person with

“We'd treat them the same as any other
infectious disease, such as meningitis or
infectious mono,” Carroll continued.
“We'd keep anything that could be con-
taminated,like gauze, away from the
patient and we'd probably wear a mask,
gown and gloves, which is normal proce-
dure, not just because the person has
AIDS,” she said.

“We hope there is a community aware-
ness program so that people know what
the real issues are,” said Brown, adding
that Health Services have no plans to

“We've heard absolutely nothing from
the Administration,” said Joe Leonard, co-

chair of the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance(GALA). “This being an
Institution of education, the administra-
tion should be taking the lead in educating
the general public on and off campus,” he
added.

“We would like to see them help us do
AIDS Awareness Day,” said Leonard,
explaining that GALA will be having
speakers from the AIDS Council of
Northeast New York sometime in early

Brown added that he “discussed the
whole issue with Vice President of
Student Affairs Frank Pogue, and we
agreed that if there were a confirmed case
of AIDS, I'd notify him immediately as
well as health care officials.”

“We'd meet, and depending on the
severity, we'd deal with the situation dif-
ferently,” he said.

“If it were severe,“ explained Brown,
“we'd work to educate them, their friends
and parents and if he lived on campus,
we'd work to educate their roommates,
and the residence hall as well.” he said.

Posters reading ‘Don’t
Believe the AIDS Hype’
appeared across the podium dur-
ing the midst of AIDS
Awareness Week.

The posters were unsigned
and not stamped by the
University for posting.

The posters started with the
line ‘You want the truth about
AIDS?’ and then proceeded to
state alleged myths involving
AIDS. One of the posters said,
‘Myth: AIDS doesn’t discrimi-
nate. Anyone can get it. We’re
all at risk.’ The poster then went
On with the statement,
‘African—American and
Hispanic women comprise less
than 20% of the population, yet
75% of female heterosexual
transmission cases.’ The poster
then goes on to conclude ‘The
portrayal of your middle class,
white heterosexual male as a
typical AIDS victim is absurd.’

Finally both posters tell indi-
viduals to contact the Center for
Disease Control for the real
numbers, not Act—Up.

The posters were removed
from the podium shortly after
their appearance.

“This kind of free speech
endangers people’s lives,”
Norreida Reyes—Seversen, the
women issue’s director, said.

“It is better to err on the side
of safety than on the side of
carelessness,” she said. Seversen
also said the posters might lead
‘safe sex.

The Center for Disease
Control’s statistics on AIDS
trends states 1 in 250 persons is
infected with HIV (the virus that
causes AIDS) and it is the third
cause of death in the 25-44 age
group. Also there has been a

21% increase in AIDS received
through heterosexual contact.
By 1994, the predictions for the
amount of people with AIDS is
415,000 to 535,000 and the pro-
jected death toll is 320,000 to
385,000. The Center for Disease
Control states the disease as one
of the most “critical and devas-
tating epidemics in our recent
history.”

“The people who put up those
signs are small minded and short
sighted; they think of this as a
gay disease, which is far from
the truth,” Bob Lewis, an educa-
tion associate for the AIDS of
Northeastern New York Council,
said.

There has been a decrease in
the number of cases in the gay
community while the number of
women and teens in heterosexu-
al relations contracting the dis-
ease is increasing greatly, said
Lewis. “AIDS is the number two
killer in 15-44 year old women
in New York state; number one
is murder,” he said.

Jeanne Courtemanche, the
chair of Act-Up and an organiz-
er of the AIDS Awareness
Week, said the posters are dan-
gerous.

“I’m shocked that someone
would do this and not put their
name on it. Do they think this
[the posters] is going to help?
What was the purpose of pro-
moting this information?”
Courtemanche said.

“People think they’re invul-
nerable at this age...People are
going to get hurt from this infor-
mation,” said Courtmanche.

Two students arrested

By KAREN L. STEIN
News Editor

Two SUNYA students were
arrested and charged with the
theft of an eight to nine foot pine
tree, valued at over $100, from
Lincoln Park Tuesday.

John Frankowski and Jonathan
Grotell, both sophomores resid-
ing on Colonial Quad, were
arrested at about 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday afternoon at the corner
of Delaware Avenue and Elm
Street after allegedly cutting
down the tree from the City of
Albany’s park five minutes prior
according to a media release
from the Albany Police
Department.

Both students face charges of
Criminal Mischief Fourth and
Petit Larceny after they were
arraigned in Albany City Court
Wednesday and will return to
court on December 13, the
department stated in a release.

“The tree was taken right out-
side the fence where trees were
being sold to benefit Little
League for $15,” Lieutenant
Robert Wolfgang of the Albany
Police Department said. “They

could have easily gotten seven
and a half dollars each and
bought it.”

Now both students face a size-
able cost both in time and money
with court dates and fines, he
said.“It wasn’t a very well
thought—out prank,” he said.

Representatives from the
Albany Police Department will
join representatives from the
City’s Department of Parks and
Recreation to donate the tree to
Parson’s Group Home. on
Academy Road. The staff and
residents will decorate the tree
for enjoyment by the children,
the release stated.

Wolfgang said this “will not
be viewed as a harmless prank”
and will not be accepted by the
city.

He said he hopes it will send a
message Out to others in order to
reduce the occurrences of this
misdemeanor.

“Each year we lose a few,” he
said. The labor involved in
replacing the tree is an “expen-
sive proposition,” because the
stump has to be first removed
before the tree is replaced.

Both students were unavailable
for comment.

Symposium discusses knowledge

By GLENN TEICHMAN
News Editor

The definition of scholarly work and how uni-
versities are affected by it was the focus of the first
College of Arts and Science Faculty Symposium
this week.

The symposium featured several panel discus-
sions and speakers.

The keynote speaker was Ernest Boyer, presi-
dent of the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching and former SUNY
chancellor.

Boyer discussed how the work of the professors
has changed over the years and about the shift
from a “colonial college” where the emphasis was
on the student to the “german university” where
research prevailed.

“We have had to struggle with our own tradi-
tions,” Boyer said.

“Most colleges would like to have their cake and
eat it too,” Boyer said in reference to the way uni-
versities use the metaphors of the colonial college
when they need them.

“If you looked through college viewbooks, you
would think 60% of all classes are held outside by
streams,” he said.

Boyer said the campus is divided into two sepa-
rate cultures, students and faculty and both under-
graduates and professors lose out.He said accord-
ing to a survey 70% of faculty felt publication was
not a good way to measure professor performance.

“Undergrads feel distanced ,like a number in a
book,” Boyer said

After addressing the conflict, Boyer went on to
offer possible solutions to the problem. “How can
we better define scholarship?” Boyer said.

Boyer said there should be a new paradigm for
scholarship and talked about the four interlocked
parts of discovery. :

“Research is at the heart of academic life...it is
the primary home of scholarly inquiry,” said
Boyer. He called this first part the scholarship of

discovery. “The scholarship of discovery is essen:

tial, but not sufficient,” he said.
“Discoveries need to find relationships and pat-
terns,” Boyer said.

He called this the scholarship of integration
where academic integration would be brought to
the forefront.

Boyer said the theories of research have to be
applied to real life to make them important.

“The academy is seen as self serving...not a
public good. (We) cannot remove theory from its
practice.”

The final part of Boyer’s paradigm was the
scholarship of teaching.

“Message and insight must be Hansuitticd’ i

Ernest Boyer.

Boyer said.

“This new paradigm has implications for col-
leges and universities...to give a unique mission,
to celebrate the mosaic of faculty,” he said.

“This new approach might even relate to stu-
dents,” he said.

“Organize students in this program and they’ll
learn as well. Undergraduates would be seen as
young scholars in learning,” Boyer said.

The new paradigm offers solutions to the ongo-
ing struggle in the university structure.
“Scholarship can occur in a variety of places and
in a variety of ways,” he said.

The new paradigm would also return some of
the respect to universities said Boyer. “The hopes
of society reside in the university.”

The next day of the symposium developed the
issues Boyer addressed in his keynote speech. The
panels dealt with teaching and research in the sci-

/ ences, power and responsibility’ in scholarly work

and the canon in turmoil.

“It was a very successful symposium...I wish
more students had attended,” Lou Roberts, a pro-
fessor and organizer of the symposium, said.

“[This symposium] will generate the next
stage,” Roberts said.

There will be another symposium in the spring,
Judith Gillepsie, the dean of the college of arts and

‘sciences said.

The broadening of the definition of scholarship
is important, Gillepsie said, “we can gain respect
for what the faculty does.”

AIDS awareness week educates SUNYA students

Culture not determinant for virus

Speakers raise consciousness

By ALLISON KRAMPF
Managing Editor

Various campus activites were held
Wednesday in observance of World AIDS
Day.

At noon, speakers at the small fountain
told of their own battles with AIDS and
HIV.

“I was scared when I got the virus. A
lot of people told me it was my death sen-
tence. It’s something I learned to live
with...I chose to live with,” said
Raymond, who has had the virus about
seven years.

“I’m scared to commit suicide...The
last thing I want to do is die. If I died, I'd
leave a lot of people with hurt and anger,”
he said.

“People think people with HIV cannot
have a normal sexual relationship. I was
honest enough to let [my girlfriend] know
I’m HIV positive. Many people do not
let people know they have the virus,”
Raymond said.

Raymond said the AIDS virus does not
discriminate against anybody.

“Tm not gay, never had a blood trans-
fusion or used IV drugs. It didn’t concern
me. Today, even if things don’t concern
me, I listen,” Raymond said.

“If you have unprotected sex with
someone who has AIDS...More than
likely, you will get the virus.”

Raymond said about 40 million people
have the virus and do not know it.

“This needs to be taken care of today or
the numbers will keep growing.”

Raymond also clarified the fact that
people do not die of AIDS, but the Lone
lems that come with it.

Raymond is a construction worker right
now and said he “tries to live a normal
life...1 do not want to sit at home waiting
to die. I don’t like to be looked at differ-
ently...I don’t discriminate, I don’t want
to be discriminated against,” he said.

Raymond also said he is not ashamed
to say he has HIV.

“If people want to walk away, it is their
choice. If they stick with me, I’m grate-
ful.”

Steve, who has had full-blown AIDS
for three years, has been living with HIV
for 10 years and said he probably became
infected in college.

“12 years into the epidemic, the disease
still kills,” Steve said.

Steve cited the statitistics that 65,000
people are living with HIV and 25 per-
cent of the new cases will be of people
under 25 in New York, and, according to
Harvard University, by the middle of the
next century, one billion people may be
dead from AIDS.

“Everyone listens to Harvard, why not
now?” Steve said.

Steve also said the State Board of
Regents came out with a radical set of
pamphlets which advocated using a con-
dom and not abstinence.

These pamphlets were pulled and
replaced with pamphlets preaching absti-
nence.

“That’s how much they care about our
lives,” Steve said. “This is not how we

“Multiculturalism and AIDS” was one
of the events included in World AIDS Day
which took place Wednesday night in the
Campus Center Assembly Hall.

Tony G., a Latino man who has the
virus, said the average Latino family in
New York has at least one person in their
family with AIDS. In his own family, his
brother, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and
cousin are HIV positive.

“In the Latino community, the main
issue is receiving drug/alcohol treat-
ment...Drugs play a big part in getting
HIV in the Latino community.”

The average Latino in New York City is
receiving education in correctional facili-
ties, he said. “The Latinos are concerned
with lack of education on the disease.”

“AIDS is not spoken here,” Tony G.
said, pointing out the very small turnout at
the event.

Tony G. said the AIDS crisis is about
“people trying to crawl out of a maze.
When it hits home [we'll] find out what
the real deal is.”

Tony F.,, a Black man who contracted
the disease in 1986, said, “To me, it was
like a death blow. No education was made
available to me telling me I could live
with this...All I saw was a skinny skele-

ton on the T.V. screen. This was AIDS.”

For two to three years, Tony F. said he
was living wild and shooting — until
he was put in jail.

“T realized I had lived longer than six
months. I believed the fallacy that I was
going to die.”

“In my community, I had no one com-
ing around to educate. I thought ‘I’m not
Haitian, I’m not gay, it doesn’t matter,’”
he said.

Tony F. said it is necessary to go out in
the Black community with pamphlets and
condoms and educate, and we need to
study and understand different communi-
ties to educate there. “We can’t be judg-
mental,” he said.

“Tt has to be done on a level in all com-
munities because we are all at risk,” he
said.

“It’s a human disease, attacking the
human race,” not just certain cultures.

“HIV has made us all human...We are
all in same basket,” he said.

Then, when it was found out HIV drug
users can get it, Tony F. said he thought

Hypnotist returns to SUNYA

Dr. Bengali brings back the mysiticism and magic

_By BRIDGET BOSWORTH
Editorial Assistant

Once again Dr. Bengali was at
SUNYA getting students to
believe they were dating celebri-
ties and participating in world
championship karate matches.

Dr. Bengali is a hypnotist who
has made several trips to
SUNYA at the invitation of dif-

' ferent Campus groups to demon-

strate his skill with members of
the audience. Last Tuesday
night, at the invitation of the
Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity and
the class of ’95, Bengali per-
formed for a fascinated audi-
ence.

Bengali started out the show
by explaining the background of
Hypnotism and screening the
audience for participators. The
whole audience was asked to
participate in a small demonstra-
tion of hypnotism from which
he deciphered which were most
susceptible to it.

“Those who cannot lower your
arm come and occupy a chair,”
Bengali said to the audience
members after the experiment
where they were told they could
not lower their arms.

After the participants were
chosen, Bengali proceeded to
work with the people individual-
ly and as a group telling them
such things as when they opened
their eyes they would see the

entire audience before them
naked. With this the group
opened their eyes with amaze-
ment and laughed hysterically.
He also told them they were
covered with red ants and they
had to get them off, where by the
participants began frantically
brushing off their clothes.

Dr. Bengali at work.

They were also told they
would not recognize the friend
that they had each come with.
When one girl opened her eyes
and was asked if she knew her
twin sister who was standing in
front of her she replied, “No, but
she looks like me.”

Her twin, Maria Cianciulli
believed that her sister did not

recognize her. “She was freaking

out, she didn’t know me,”
Cianciulli said.

of 95 and president of the frater-
nity that organized the event,

Central council discusses condom
distribution on SUNYA campus

re

By HERB TERNS
Associate News Editor

Free condom and dental dam distribu-
tion, a staff gynecologist, and trained
health center staff are all part of a reso-
lution passed at Central Council,
Wednesday evening.

The resolution states, “We demand
free condom and dental dam distribu-
tion, the procurement of a staff gynecol-
ogist with knowledge of HIV and AIDS
in women at the health center, and
health center staff trained to deal with
AIDS issues at the University at
Albany.”

An. amendment to the resolution was
added stipulating that copies of the bill

and the Health Center administration.

The resolution, introduced by Council
member Craig Howell, Council
Chairperson Karima Wilkins, and
Programming Director Cliff Lent, states
as its rationale: “There is a rising con-
cern within the student body about the
AIDS issue. As representatives of the
student body, it falls to us to act on these
concerns. Though not all student hold
the same views or ideas about how to
deal with this epidemic, this resolution
is no starting point.”

Several members of Council as well
as a member of Act—Up said the only
access students presently have to con-
doms are a few condom machines locat-
ed in the women’s bathrooms of Alumni
Quad.

CPS—DALLAS-Dr. Ruth was there. So was

author Mark Lane. They and about 2,000 col-
lege students and their advisers were in
Dallas participating in a national college
media conference.

How ironic that the city where one of the
first major media events had taken place
would serve as a backdrop for students learn-
ing the media of the future.

A cold, gusty wind greeted the visitors as
they walked briskly into the tall, unpreten-
tious building. They curiously opened the
door and entered—and stepped back in time.

The brownish—colored brick building at the
corner of Houston and Elm streets in down-
town Dallas, once known as The Texas
School Book Depository, is now a shrine.

There is a $4 admission fee to view the
room where historians claim the assassin
fired the fatal shots. A smooth elevator ride
comes to a jolting halt at the sixth floor of the
building and as the door opens, the visitor is
exposed to the faces and voices of those who
witnessed that cruel event on Nov. 22,
1963-the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy.

Near the window in the southeast corner of
the building, cardboard boxes are stacked in
the spot where some believe Lee Harvey
Oswald rested the Mannlicher Carcano rifle
as he fired the fatal shots.

Looking down at Elm Street from that
sixth floor, the visitor can sense the ghosts of
the presidential motorcade journeying at 11
miles per hour to a doomed climax 30 years
ago.

dren, can be seen wav-

Returning to school can be difficult for older students

(CPS) Returning to college can be a
frightening experience for an adult, but
there are organizations on campuses
across the country designed to help these
non-traditional students make the neces-
sary adjustments to college life.

According to the Department of
Education statistics for the the fall 1991
semester, 4.1 million of all undergraduate
college students are above the age of 25.

Eastern Tennessee State University has
a program called the Center for Adult
Programs and Services to provide ser-
vices unique to the needs of non-tradi-
tional students.

“Adult students feel very alone. They
haven’t had the benefit of a high school
guidance counselor; many don’t have
family support,” said Carla Warner, direc-
tor of the Center.

The center provides orientation, aca-
demic counseling and scholarship infor-
mation, and also has an emergency mes-
Sage service. Warner said this service is
important because day care centers and
schools need to reach parents when a
child is sick and needs to be sent home.

For students who are experiencing
financial problems, the center provides a
crisis notebook. Students can write about
their problem in the book and local
churches are asked to contribute. A
church’s recent contribution stopped one
student’s electricity from being turned off
when the student could not afford to pay
her bill.

_ Inside the center’s office is a room
where non-traditional students can eat
their meals with fellow non-traditional
students. According to Warner, the break
room gives these students the feeling that

they have somewhere to go on campus.

Warner said a majority of the students
who come to her office want to become
involved in campus activities, but are not
interested in the clubs and organizations
designed for traditional students. She said
these non-traditional organizations can
benefit the students by making them feel
involved in the school.

Warner defines adult students as anyone
23 years or older, but said there are a lot
of exceptions. Some of the non-tradition-
al students are younger than 23 and have
families.

“It’s more about what their responsibili-
ties are, not their chronological age,” she
said.

The center consists of three full-time
employees. There are also ten student
workers at the center; eight are non-tradi-
tional students. The center is open 52

hours per week.

At Bridgewater State College, in
Bridgewater, Mass. non-traditional stu-
dents meet weekly to talk about classes,
professors and their families. The group
is called Older Adult Students in School.

“The group gives them something to
feel associated with, it gives them an
identity,” said George Weir, a group
member.

Weir, 70, said he was able to adjust to
college life easily because he had the sup-
port of other non-traditional students.

The Adult Program offers non-tradi-
tional students at Temple University, in
Philadelphia, 34 workshops in the fall
semester. The workshop topics range
from effective studying to life manage-
ment skills.

The program consists of two full-time

and one part-time counselor. The pro-
gram offers both career and academic
counseling. The monthly group support
meetings usually have between 15 and 25
students in attendance. According to
Philomena Trinidad, a counseling coordi-
nator for The Adult Program, the biggest
problem for non-traditional students at
Temple University is fear.

“The biggest problem is fear of the
unknown, fear of whether they can adjust
to school life with their family life,”
Trinidad said.

Trinidad advises returning students to
take one class at a time until they adjust
to their additional responsibilities.

She said most of the students who
return to school at Temple University
want to advance in the job they have and
choose to get a degree in that field.

“They don’t want to make a drastic
change, so they get into the same field,
although there are a few who want a dras-
tic change and that’s why they’re going
back to school,” Trinidad said.

When Norman Tognazzini returned to
school at the age of 34 he realized how
different he was from the younger, tradi-
tional students at Northern Arizona
University. Tognazzini returned to school
in 1984 to get an undergraduate degree in
English and philosophy. He noticed that
the younger students were talking to each
other, but that the older students were not
communicating at all.

After graduating, Tognazzini started an
organization to help the non-traditional
students academically, socially and finan-
cially. He founded The National
Association of Returning Students
(NARS) in January 1991.

NARS is a non-profit organization in
Oregon that provides services to students
25 years and older. The organization
gives support for the returning students
before, during and after their college
careers. The organization is also designed
to educate academic institutions about the
special needs of these students.

The organization helps non-traditional
students deal with lifestyle changes,
school financing and lost wages.

The monthly NARS newsletter,
Transitions, is targeted toward the non
traditional student. It has information
about scholarships and grants, as well as
information about on-campus support
organizations.

Tognazzini said that belonging to a stu-
dent organization can give adult students
the feeling that they belong. Instead of
developing social programs similar to
those of traditional students, Tognazzini
suggests activities that spouses, children
and friends can get involved in and enjoy.
He said an open—house program where
the family meets the instructors and has
the opportunity to sit in on classes can
make the college transition easier for the
student’s family.

The growth of non-traditional students
has meant a growth in membership to
NARS.

The organization now has 600 student
members and Tognazzini said he receives
about 500 calls per month from non-tra-
ditional students seeking information
about NARS.

According to Tognazzini, about 300
colleges now have non-traditional stu-
dent organizations.

Group therapy is positive possibility

There are many different ways
to solve problems, such as
speaking with a friend or a rela-
tive. Some problems benefit
more from interacting with a
neutral party such as a psycholo-
gist, psychiatrist or social worker
for individual counseling.

Here the focus is on the indi-
vidual and the impact of the
world on that person. Another
type of therapy is group therapy,
which provides a way to interact

with others who

eats aE
MIDDLE share a similar

EARTH problem or who are
ROOTS at a similar stage in
life.

So, what exactly is group ther-
apy? Group therapy is usually
composed of 6-12 individuals
who meet with a trained therapist
or therapists, often on a weekly
basis.

Each member is encouraged to
discuss his/her problems with the
other group members. The group
is also responsible for providing
feedback to one another about
the impact of what was said.

This allows group members to
learn about the effect they have
on others and to experience the
impact others have upon them.

What makes this different
from interacting with a group of
friends and sharing problems?
The role of the therapist(s) and
the other group members is to
provide a safe and confidential
place to work. When you join a
group, you must agree to leave

what you learn in the group with
the group after each meeting.
Confidentiality is the key to a
trusting relationship between
group members.

Why do people need group
therapy? When you think about
our daily interactions, it is rare
that we are not involved with
other people in a group setting.
Classes are filled with other stu-
dents, athletic teams are made up
of individuals with a group goal
to win, and you often find your-
self spending time with your
friends.

The first group everyone
encounters is your family and
this can have an impact upon the
way you interact in a group or
with others.

Belonging to a therapy group
is one way to become more
skilled at the interactions you
encounter every day.

Group therapy can also pro-
vide you with a sense of belong-
ing and a relief from feeling
alone. Learning that someone
else has a similar problem and
can share your experience can
make your troubles seem less
overwhelming.

Group therapy can also pro-
vide a safe place for you to dis-
cuss differences and to learn to
respect other views of the world.
In examining what makes each
of us unique, group members can
grow and develop.

There are two general types of
therapy groups. The first type is

the Theme group where there is
a focus on a single issue. An
example of this type of group
would be one that focused on
eating disorders, where the mem-
bers of the group were individu-
als that had experienced difficul-
ties because of anorexia nervosa
or bulimia. This type of group
may incorporate an educational
component and can be more

structured.

The second type of group is a
psychotherapy group, where the
members do not necessarily have
a single issue or theme in com-
mon.

Individuals in this group may —

be experiencing difficulties in
more than one area of their lives
and find a group interaction the
best way to learn more effective
ways of coping with others.

The University Counseling
Center is very interested in start-
ing a group program during the
1994 school year. Several groups
have been proposed (for exam-
ple, an Incest survivors group
and an eating disorders group),
but we are interested to hear
from students about their con-
cerns.

The purpose of a group thera-
py program is to provide the ser-
vices students need and to
enhance the time each of you
spends at the University at
Albany. Please contact Katherine
V. Lyon, X.A. (Coordinator for
Group’ Services) at. the

Dreaming of justice

The State University of New York at Albany is
governed by what are referred to as “Principles of a Just
Community.” These principles attempt to define the
ideals which are necessary to guarantee justice in the
academic community. Equality and liberty are cited as
necessary components of a “just community,” and the
constant realization of these standards is expected in
every facet of the educational system, to achieve the
dream ofa truly “just community.”

These principles were adopted by SUNYA on May 7,
1990, through the initiative of a new leader on campus,
President H. Patrick Swygert. Unfortunately, the idea of
a “just community,” on the SUNYA campus is still a
dream. The University has been engulfed in controversy
which stems from the complete and total lack of justice
in almost every area of campus life.

Very few campus groups have escaped unscathed
from these incidents, and very few members of the
community are unaware of the events which have
occurred. Unfortunately, the founding father of the
very “principles” which are supposed to guide students
in their academic careers, as well as the appointed and
elected administrators and student leaders, who are
supposed to set the exemplary behavioral patterns, have
acted in a contemptuous and unethical fashion.

An inestimable amount of damage and embarassment
has been heaped upon the SUNYA community, since
the beginning of the 1993 Fall semester, because of the
deplorable actions of students and administrators.
These actions can only be attributed to ignorance,
prejudice, and a pervasive sense of injustice on this
campus.

It is unconscionable that any students enrolled in
an institution for higher education would physically
disrupt a cultural ceremony being performed by Native
Americans at a University event, but it happened... that
was September.

It is equally distressing that any student would
circulate a “Top Ten Reasons” list filled with racial
slurs and biases about an organization that is made up
of African American and Latino students, but it
happened... that was October.

Are warning bells ringing yet? Maybe, just maybe,
these “Principles of a Just Community” just aren’t
doing the trick? Keep in mind, there is still no word
from our President.

Many people were disturbed by the sign posted in the
Campus Center display case, “For every Jew a .22,”
urging Jews to arm themselves against their “enemies,”
by the Revisionist Zionist Alternative. But, alas,
President Swygert hears the warning bells, and what
does he decide to do? Of course, in the interest of a
Just Community, he decides to call a meeting with
several student leaders and administrators and issue a
letter condemning this group for “language that borders
on incitement and hostility.” He was right, but,
unfortunately, the President never talked to the people
who put up the sign before he condemned them... that
was mid-November.

After the President’s letter was sent to sixteen
thousand people, three weeks of conflict emerged
between students and the administration and
proceeded to pit cultural, political, and religious
groups against each other. Students picketed and
protested, student government was divided, name-
calling and pandemonium reigned supreme.

Are the warning bells starting to drone like sirens
now? Does anyone realize that we have a real problem
here? YES! Somebody realizes this! So the Founder of
the Guardian Angels arrives in Albany to help keep
peace. It was a good plan, but our next visitor was
Binyamin Kahane, controversial Jewish activist, who
along with his team of spokesmen, advised Jews to kill
their enemies before they could be killed. This
visitation was followed by the arrival of Minister
Linwood X, a leader of the All-African People’s
Revolutionary Party, who spent hours smashing
Judaism, and promoting the theme “by any means
| necessary.” Things aren’t looking any better...

Well, it’s December... As we approach the coming
semester, perhaps it would bea good time to reevaluate
the “Principles of a Just Community” before the climate
on the SUNYA campus gets any worse. Yes, President
Swygert it is “time to move forward,” and hopefully,
somehow, we can all come away from these
experiences knowing something about what “justice”
really means. Or, as one key player in these events
asked, “ARE we going to wait for a full-scale riot?”

COLUMN

Conspiracy To Silence Students

Last week, the SUNY Albany Administration decided
to cut more classes from the Africana Studies department,
making it almost impossible to major in Africana Studies
at this University. At the same time, Binyamin Kahane an
open racist who advocates the violent expulsion of all
Palestinians from greater Palestine was brought onto
campus-invited by Revisionist Zionist Alternative (RZA)
and welcomed with a handshake by the campus
administration. Also protected by the campus
administration, those who circulated the racist top ten list
of reasons to join the Albany State University Black
Alliance (ASUBA) remain on campus, as do those
responsible for the attack on the Native American
ceremony during a September 25th football game. And

Sarah Warden

let's not forget the racist confederate flag which continues
to be flown by Sigma Lambda Sigma—a campus
recognized group. In addition, a few weeks ago, a woman
was gang-raped near the campus center construction area.
Innumerable attacks—racist, sexist, anti-semitic and
anti-gay—go unreported. Police brutality, fascist/nazi
organizing, the daily harassment of black students, attacks
on women-these combine to create a campus on which
black and minority students, women, gay and Jewish
students cannot walk without the threat of physical attack.

To fight these attacks, we must build a new mass
militant democratic anti-racist organization that is
independent of the administration. We must expose the
administration’s hypocrisy; they make speeches about a
“Just Community” while slashing the Africana Studies
department and protecting those who wage racist attacks.
The time is now to forge a new independent leadership on
this campus that can adopt a strategy to win real gains for
black students as well as for women, gays, lesbians, Jews,
other oppressed groups and the workers who actually run
this school. The National Women’s Rights Organizing
Coalition (NWROC) believes that this new anti-racist
organization must be integrated in order to effectively
fight for the rights of black, gay, women, Jewish and all
oppressed sectors of our student body. However, NWROC
recognizes that the formation of any fighting anti-racist
organization—including an all-black organization that is
independent of the administration—would be a major step
forward in the struggle for student’s rights.

The administration is incapable of satisfying any of our
demands. It will, in the end, always come down on the
side of those who launch racist, sexist, anti-semitic and
anti-gay attacks. The administration maintains this
reactionary stance because it represents both the
economic and ideological interests of the ruling class, the
capitalists. The University is run as a business under the
control of the state. With New York’s economy in ruins,
the administration must find ways to cut back on courses,
raise tuition, slash financial aid and fire workers and
professors. The first programs to go are always Africana

Studies, Women’s Studies and Latino Studies—these —

departments were gained only through the militant
struggle of the students and can be defended only in the
same manner. The administration’s view is that they
added Africana and Women’s Studies departments only
because they were forced to by militaut student action.
The administration has always regarded these departments
as dangerous, both because they were won in militant

struggle and because of the potential that students will
continue that tradition—moving beyond “academic
interest” to an actual fight for equality. Therefore, with
the level of student and worker struggle so low, Swygert
and his lackies believe they can now move to cut these
departments. We must show them they are wrong!

The administration has helped to create a climate in
which racists, sexists, anti-semites and anti—lesbian/gay
bigots can flourish. Most recently, Swygert has
“condemned” the flyer announcing right-wing racist
Zionist leader Binyamin Kahane’s appearance at this
University because it called for Jews to take up arms
against black Muslims and Palestinians. This
“condemnation” meant absolutely nothing! In reality, the
administration did more than merely tolerate Kahane’s
racism—they did everything they could to make sure his
message went out loud and clear. Mitch Livingston
attempted to grab the microphone out of an anti-racist
demonstrator’s hand as she was making a statement
exposing the racism of Kahane and the compliance of the
administration. In the name of “free speech,” including
shoving a number of anti-racist demonstrators. The
hypocrisy of this administration is obvious; they fight to
the death to enable Kahane to speak, but strictly forbid
Kwame Toure from speaking on campus last year because
he advocates militant anti-racist fight back. Free speech
on this campus is reserved for those who promise not to
stir up trouble for the administration. Toure’s ideas and
methods directly threaten Swygert and Livingston
because he calls for black people to stand up and fight.
Swygert determined that that type of speech should not be
free.

Our administration also represses anyone who tries to
build independent action on its campus. NWROC has
been the subject of repeated threats and attacks from the
administration. Just minutes before the Kahane speech on
November 15, NWROC was told that it would not be
allowed to picket the forum inside the lecture center area.
In addition, NWROC was told that no picket signs would
be allowed and that we would be subject to metal
detection. Apparently, the administration, including
Director of Student Activities, Jessica A. Casey, can now
determine what student groups can and cannot do.
NWROC’s funding has been threatened with expulsion
from the University. It should be clear to every student
that Livingston, Swygert, and the rest of their flunkies are
doing everything to suppress anti-racists while protecting
the racists.

Swygert and Livingston’s real attitude toward racist
attacks—a wink and a nod—can be seen in how they
handled the earlier attacks this semester. For example, the
rugby and wrestling players involved in the disruption of
the Pow Wow got off with no punishment for their attack;
instead, they were told “to apologize.” In fact, Swygert
wrote the apology letter himself! Sigma Lambda Sigma
remains a campus-recognized group even as their
confederate flag continues to fly and the individual who
produced the racist top ten list remains anonymous under
the protection of our administration. Why shouldn’t
racists, sexists, anti-semites and anti-gay bigots feel
emboldened to organize and attack when they know that

‘the administration will, to any and-all lengths, protect

them?
Swygert and Livingston are interested in maintaining an

Starting a piece about a
Star Trek book is hard.
Using a line like William

Star Trek Memories, the
new book by William
Shatner, takes its readers
into the early days of Star
Trek, before Picard and
Sisko, when a struggling
Gene Roddenbery was try-
ing to put together a good
science fiction show.

Shatner starts the book at

the beginning with
Roddenbery’s vision and
moves into all the prob-
lems getting to the show
finally airing. Shatner takes
an in-depth look at how
the show changed telling
the readers little bits of
trivia, like the near removal
of Mr. Spock’s character
and the problem with
Spock’s ears.

After talking about the
preproduction of the show,
Shatner talks about the
actual filming of the first
pilot, The Cage, and how it

was received by
Paramount. The readers
learn why Captain

Christopher Pike departed
and why the female
Number One (Roddenbery’s
wife) was removed from
the cast.

" adiing al L Ware San.
Shatner’s Book reveals secrets of Star Trek

Shatner goes on to dis-
cuss the second pilot,
Where No Man Has Gone
Before, and how when
Roddenbery made the
show a little less cerebral, it
was finally picked up.

From an in depth look at
the beginning of the show,
Shatner then goes on to
talk about certain episodes
and some of the secrets in
the filming. .

Shatner writes an inter-
esting book, one that will
appeal to Star Trek fans and
those interested in the early
days of television. He dis-
cusses some of the secrets
involved in the making of
the episodes and also tells
about many of the pratical
jokes that occurred on the
set.

Some of the more inter-
esting points Shatner

‘|touches upon include the

first interracial kiss on tele-

{vision (Kirk and Uhura),

the debate over The City on
the Edge of Forever, why all
the aliens looked human,
and why all the women
wore next to nothing.

Readers also find out
about the darker side of
the show including what
happened to Yeoman
Rand.

The book ends with the
not too recent past as
Shatner discusses the final
days of Gene Roddenbery.

Overall, the book was
enjoyable and interesting.
One obvious exception to
Shatner’s book is the film-
ing of the six feature films.

hero who is replaced by a
machine in 241 Production’s
rendition of Elmer Rice’s The
Adding Machine, which is being
performed at Steamer No. 10
Theatre December 2-5, 9-12,
and 16-19. This anti-hero
whose bookkeeping job is made
obsolete is portrayed beautiful-
ly by Tim Priest in his first
leading role. This replacement
comes upon the anniversary of
many years service to the com-
pany. His answer to this insult
is the murder of his boss.

P.A. Skerry

The murder turns out to be
the most important event in this
drab character’s life. The
homicede sets Zero on a jour-
ney through the afterlife and
back again while the whole
time his limited view of exis-
tence constrains him even
against happiness in paradise.

His actions are put into focus
by other characters and their
acts of desperation. Shrdlu,
played well by Jeffrey Nichols,
accompanies Zero in the after-
life when Zero meets up with
Daisy Devore. Both Shrdlu and
Daisy put Zero’s murder in per-

spective by both being guilty of
killing.

electronic music into the style
of expressionism. This coupled
with John Fonti’s sparse but
highly exaggerated set design
paint a world which by itself
draws into question some
aspects of our reality.

The acting was upsettingly
good in this production. I say
upsettingly good because I
always enjoy writing scalding
reviews of theatre productions.
The cast all did quite a perfor-
mance with special credit for
Fosh Goldern’s Edith Bunker
impression and Craig D.
Pearlberg’s insight as Lt.
Charles.

If I was to criticize anything
about this production (and you
can bet I will), it would be but
two points to Russel. You may
want to turn down the music

slightly as I was beginning to

go deaf near the front. Also, I
could not find the significance
of the “suzuki” movements of
Mrs. Zero in the first scene. It
looked as if Jackie Payne was
genuinely in payne.

Go see it...you will enjoy
yourselves. Kudos Russel!

Tim Curry the real hero

This is one movie version
of a book that is better than
the book itself (but, then
again, I was never much of
an Alexander Dumas fan).

Chris O'Donnell is
D'artagnan, a young man
who goes to Paris to follow
in the footsteps of his father
and join the Musketeers
only to find them dis-
banded. After a series of
misadventures he joins
Aramis(Charlie Sheen),
Athos(Keifer Sutherland),
and Porthos(Oliver Platt).
They're the only

musketeers left to fight
Cardinal Richelieu's(Tim
Curry) plot to usurp the
throne.

The Three Musketeers was

wasn't blood and gore type
violence, but the body
count by the end of the
movie was relatively high.
Most of the action came in
the form of excellently
choreographed sword
fighting scenes.

The majority of the
comedy was delivered via
Platt and Curry. The humor
was somewhat corny and
campy but still amusing if
one doesn't overanalyze it.

The acting was decent
enough to carry the movie.
Tim Curry was the only
real standout in the cast. He
acted his part out with
delicious villainy. The
perverse, power mad
Richelieu was well made for
Curry. Rebecca DeMornay
was very good in the few
scenes we got to see her in.
Platt was the only other

Tom Waits
The Black Rider

This album should have a warning
sticker. “If you thought the last two
U2 albums were ‘weird’ and Pearl
Jam is alternative, WARNING, this
album will make your head explode.”
Unlike last year’s Bone Machine, this
year’s model makes no pretense to
even be based in any kind of rock-
oriented sounds. ‘he Black Kider is the

score to a play based on a Germanic
folktale, and the music reflects this.

dreamed of....the group was eager to

wreck.”

This is no silly generalization. Kurt
Weillian oom-pah crashs head-on
with Burroughsian Beat-junky
drollery. (Infact, William Burroughs
contributes 2 lyrics and does the
vocal on one.) While Bone Machine's
sound focused on Wait’s unique
abstraction to a clattering extreme,
The Black Rider finds a return to the
style of his Rain Dogs era, only much
more abstract, extreme and forceful.

The openning “Lucky Day
(Overture),” is Wait’s classic “Step
Right Up” (from Small Change) redone
with a severe headache and a cheap
bullhorn. “Russian Dance” is “the
Babooshka” from the 1st Addams
Family movie, only replacing humor
with sinister force. “Just the Right
Bullets,” “I’ll Shoot the Moon” and a
few others will satisfy some of Waits’
older fans for their balladry, but the
modern ironic sentimentality is long
gone, and the music certainly doesn’t
suffer. “Oily Night” has a vocal from
the very depths of Hell - you just
have to hear it.

This album sounds....indescribable.
Wait’s plays around with traditional
string and_ brass_ orchestra
instruments, with startling additions
of banjos, saws, and other things I
could not recognize. And this is with
out describing the thematic lyrics.

This is Tom Waits’ 11th proper
studio album. If you haven’t dipped
into his vast and extremely varied
catalog of jazz, blues, folk, beat
poetry, etc, then you don’t like music.

No Alternative
Various Artists

| Arista

No Alternative is an AIDS benefit
album released by The Red Hot
Corporation. It features songs
performed by various “alternative”
musicians, although the title, as well
as part of the premise of the CD
would endeavor to disclaim the “A”
word, asserting quite correctly that
“alternative” does not exist.

The music, if not alternative, is
excellent. There are songs from such
bands as Smashing Pumpkins,
Mathew Sweet, Soundgarden, The
Breeders and even Beastie Boys. And,
as an added bonus, there is an
uncredited track at the end of the disc
from Nirvana.

All the proceeds from sales of the
album are donated to AIDS
organizations. Good music, great
cause. Don’t miss this one.

ASIP VINE WIPOUINT

I am a senior and I live in the residence halls of
SUNY Albany. Yes, that’s right. I am a senior who
lives in a dorm, specifically on Alumni Quad. Why? I
really have no qualms or problems with living on
campus. I like the people where I live, I like the actual
dorm itself, and no, the food is not really as bad as it
could have been.

At night, it is not really that noisy and, if it is, I go
to a lounge to study. Not too many things bother me

Samantha Acker

about living on campus, except when I smell pot in
the hall every night.

Now for those of you reading this who like smoking
pot, you should stop reading right here. But, for those
of you who are completely against the use (and, in my
case, the smell) of the stuff, you will probably want to
keep reading.

Actually, I really don’t care at all if you want to
smoke it. Go ahead, smoke it until smoke comes out
of your ears. I really, truly do not care. But, I will and

do care when it infringes upon me and my being
comfortable. No, I am not some “pure” person who
hates all substances; I’ve gotten drunk a few times. I
just do not appreciate walking down the hall to my
room and smelling that crap at six o’clock in the
evening...or at ten o’clock at night either.

I mean, come on, these people in my dorm seem
like they are so addicted (one may not be able to
become addicted to the stuff, but it is my opinion —
this is an opinion column — that they are addicted).
They smoke every day and every night. What else can
that tell me?

I do not know how they do it. First, where do they
get all that money for it? Second, do they ever study?
If they do, how does one study when one is high?
Third, don’t they know that everyone in the hall
knows all about them?! It is so true! I suspect that
almost all the people on my side of the hall know that
these people smoke pot all the time. This pisses me
off to no end. Every time these people are deep in the
throes of smoking and people are passing by, I hear
talk of the “smokers” and that “lovely smell” in the

hallway. Almost all of the people in my hall know
what the smell is and who is causing it, and yet no one
does anything about it! .

I don’t know. I guess a lot of you will probably
think I am a cynic and do not like it when people
‘have fun.’ Well, fine. So be it. I will be a cynic
because every time these people decide to have some
fun, they stink up the hallway. I would like to walk
down the hallway, for once, and be able to breathe
normally. All I ask is they stop doing it in their room
because this leads to a disgusting reek in the hallway.

Maybe they should go outside. That way, they will
be assured that no one inside will smell it. You would
think that they’d want to keep ita secret. They don’t
know that since they smoke in their room, almost all
of the people near me know about them; maybe they
know that everyone knows, but they don’t care. If
they had wanted to keep it a secret in the beginning,
it’s too late. Their secret is out.

Well, all I can say is that I like living in the dorm
fine; I just wish I could breathe in the hallway without
choking on pot smoke for once.

Administration 1
GSEU 0

To the Editor:

As a member of the Coordinating
Committee of the Graduate Student
Employees Union (GSEU), I would like
to extend my personal congratulations to
the swift-moving, ever efficient
bureaucracy that managed to tear down
300 black ribbons and 350 posters by 3:30
A.M. last Monday - a true
accomplishment, by anyone’s standards!

Members of the GSEU put up 300
black ribbons on campus (at 6 A.M.) to
bring attention to the plight of the 300
TAs and GAs on this campus with no
health insurance..It seemed that SUNYA
got a bit worried, and rather than allow us
to make a dramatic point, decided that the
SUNYA community would be better
served if they did not have to be reminded
that the graduate workers who teach
classes and work in offices are being
denied health insurance.

Hmm. Is there a First Amendment issue
here? We think so. But SUNYA (and the
other SUNY schools) have gotten quite
good at tearing down our posters, ever
since we won our union election. Gee —
they must be pretty afraid of us!

So, as SUNYA continues to play
games, the GSEU on this campus will
continue to press on, will continue to
negotiate with the State, and yes, will
continue to post flyers around campus.
Again, congratulations, SUNY...

No Justice for
Palestinians

To the Editor:

I am greatly disappointed with the ASP
editors who, as of today November 18,
have yet to criticize or condemn the
Revisionist Zionist Alternative (RZA) for
the content of its poster hung in the
Campus Center. The printed 8 1/2” by
11” poster, which was still hanging
yesterday, said, “Expel the Arabs from
Israel.”

I have many Palestinian friends who
have, for about 10 years, often been
insulted and verbally assaulted by RZA.
RZA is.a hate group — make no mistake
about that. RZA invited the son of an
infamous Arab—hater to. speak at

SUNYA, put up a vicious poster
promoting this event, and the ASP
editors, in a November 5 editorial
bemoaning apathy among students, said,
“It is not important who is right or wrong
when it comes to the actual issues going
on here.” Such comments are asinine and
a strong insult to the victims of Zionism.
Let us not forget that, during Israel’s
war of independence, Zionist armies and
terror groups expelled 700,000 of the
900,000 Palestinians who had lived in
what became the 1948-1967 borders of
Israel. These people, some of whom are
friends of mine, have not been allowed to
return their homeland. In July of 1948,
Yitzhak Rabin, now Prime Minister of
Israel, personally led, with his army, the
expulsion of the entire populations
(50,000 men, women, and children) from
the towns of Lydda and Ramlah. Mr.
Rabin expelled another 400 Palestinians
less than a year ago. RZA leaders are

rather than challenge it. It only shows
what the radical liberal left are made of,
and it isn’t very much.

I am aware that the pro-life position of
Albany Students for Life is indeed an
unpopular one. I simply cannot
understand why NWROC and other
pro—aborts are so afraid of us that they
insist on silencing us. Numerous
NWROC members have been sticking
their noses in on virtually all of our
meetings. They are, however, quick
enough to leave before we show our
films, which comes to me as no surprise.

I cannot help but notice that NWROC is
willing to wake up early on Saturday to
proudly defend Planned Parenthood from
a harmless CCHL picket. However,
NWROC failed to submit a rebuttal to my
vicious (and very well-documented)
article on Planned Parenthood in the ASP.
It is difficult to challenge the truth,
especially when the truth is backed by

known.”

stupid. There are hundreds of thousands
of Arab Jews living in Israel now. Does
RZA want to expel those Arabs also?

My friends and I are disgusted with
RZA and angry with ASP editors. Racism
is always shocking and disturbing, but
flagrant, long-standing racism, as has
been practiced by RZA, should be
condemned.

Pro-Choice
Group Censors

To the Editor:

I have a few bones to pick with the
militant “pro-choice” crowd. I am
speaking to the cowardly thought police
who have nothing better to do (in the wee
hours of the morning, I presume) than to
roam the academic podium ripping down
every pro-life sign they can find. I can
say from experience that posting two
hundred signs in two hours is a tiring job.
It is appalling to find virtually all of the
signs gone in less than twenty-four hours.

Aside from being a violation of campus
policy, such acts are cowardly. Only a
spineless, gutless, hateful individual
would suppress ideological opposition

“Whatever cheap tactic the pro-abortionists

prove to be futile as long as the truth is

documented evidence.

It is not difficult, however, to challenge
a pack of lies, such as that fueled by the
fevered imagination of NWROC. For
example, NWROC has bombarded the
community with unfair jabs at the
right-to-life movement. They constantly
claim that “right-to-life” is synonymous
to “nazi” or “Ku Klux Klan.” The only
iota of evidence NWROC provides us is
their trustworthy assurance that it is true.

There is not much substance to the
myth of the nazi connection to the
pro-life movement. After all, it was Hitler

himself who said “In view of the large -

families of the native population, it could
only suit us if girls and women there had
as many abortions as_ possible”
(Tischgesprache im Fuhrerhauptquartier,
1941-2).

I feel strongly that people of all ethnic
and religious backgrounds are well united
by Judeo-Christian values. Black, white,
Jewish, Christian, male and female
students compose Albany Students For
Life. Whatever cheap tactic the
pro—abortionists will attempt to disunite
the pro-lifers will prove to be futile as
long as the truth is known.

Concerning the advertisement of my
meetings, I will continue to try and put
back signs more quickly than the cowards
can. take them down. To _ the

pro—abortionists who.still seek to be

confrontational, open your hearts and
your minds. You might learn something.

Kahane Event
Pathetic Sight

To the Editor:

On Monday, November 15, 1993, I
attended what was advertised to be a
speech by Rabbi Benyamin Ze’ev Kahane
(son of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane) on
SUNYA’s campus.

For an opening, I was subjected to a
loud protest by a handful of youngsters,
that delivered no message of any
substance (except that they did not want
the speaker to be heard). After the speaker
and his entourage arrived, an hour late,
and made their presentation, I could not
decide which group was more pathetic.

Even though all potential attendees
were searched with a metal detector
(which is understandable, under the
circumstances of the assassination of the
speaker’s father, in New York City, a few
years ago) the speaker’s entourage
included body guards whose appearance
reminded me of the goons that used to
accompany Hitler, before he came to
power in Germany.

Then, the intended speaker was
preceded by two ‘handlers’ whose
rhetoric was replete with distorted history.
Young Kahane’s soft spoken presentation,
that followed, appeals and convinces only
the few predisposed ones. His arguments
are based on premises which are not
widely accepted. To add insult to injury,
after the floor was opened for questions —
young Kahane stood very pathetically
behind the podium, relying on his
handlers’ responses to the questions from
the floor.

Even though it seemed that the
audience lacked a solid background, on
the subject, they were astute enough to
recognize the speakers for what they are —
DEMAGOGUES.

If the destructors, demonstrating
outside, had anything intelligent to
contribute, they would have been much
more effective by presenting their case, in
a civilized manner, inside the auditorium,
as did their colleagues that heard the
speakers.

Unfortunately, the media, the electronic
one as well as the printed one, missed the
challenges posed the speakers, after they
concluded their prepared presentation.

Students

Continued from page 10
atmosphere in which they can
slash departments, fire profes-
sors and raise tuition. They are
attempting to keep the student
body divided and fighting
amongst themselves. By protect-
ing racists, covering up attacks
and encouraging divisions within
the student body, the administra-
tion hopes to maintain the cli-
mate of fear and frustration that
now exists so that it can cut
more Classes, raise tuition even
higher and demolish student ser-
vices without having to worry
about organized fight back from
the students.

However, as this statement is
being written, a new struggle is
erupting at SUNY Binghamton.
Once again, the administration is
trying to arm the cops. In addi-
tion, students are enraged about
a phony Multicultural Diversity
curriculum that is being pro-
posed by the administration.
Students realize that they cannot

rely on the administration to do

anything about “cultural diversi-
ty” at their school. This time, an
integrated independent anti-
racist organization is being built
which will fight against the arm-
ing of the cops, for the immedi-
ate implementation of a student-
controlled curriculum and for the
struggle in Albany and move it
forward into a movement that
can enable us to control our edu-
cation and school.

We must link the struggle at
Binghamton with student strug-

gles at other universities.
Students at Binghamton are
building an ongoing organization
with a program that calls for stu-
dent/worker power. An isolated
struggle at SUNY Binghamton
may win victories in the short
run, but will never be able to
maintain long term gains without
an alliance with students and
workers involved in struggle at
other universities. We can
strengthen each individual strug-
gle by linking them together.
The conditions that are creating
the climate of racism and attack
at SUNY Albany are present at
every college and university
across the country. The roles that
Swygert, Livingston and
Clemente are playing in Albany
are being filled by others at
schools everywhere.
Independent militant integrated
anti-racist organizations must be
built on campuses from
California to New York. We
must build a militant integrated
student/worker movement to
defend the gains of the past and
to expand them, while building a
movement that can lead to the
liberation of all the oppressed.

The speakout was sponsored
by ACT-UP Youth, a student
group which works for AIDS
education and awareness.

“I’m not sick.” |
“We as people in society have
to start caring. Everybody blocks
ears when we talk about AIDS.

My community is no different,”

he said.

“People think if they don’t fit
into certain categories, they are
not at risk...My community is
no different. [They] live a high
risk lifestyle ‘cause they live on
the edge.”

Tony F. said students have a
lot of power, and must come
together to save a generation
from being swamped with this.

“Us not coming together as
people and demanding those in
power to do something is part of
the problem...Now, we have to
be part of the solution,” he said.

“Right now, our ignorance
could be death...Not the death of
me, the death of you. My main
purpose right now is to stop the
spread [of the disease], ” he said.

Jeanne Courtemanche, chair of
ACT UP, said she has not heard
anything about administration
helping in AIDS education and
awareness, which is the group’s
main goal, although Vice
President of Student Affairs
Mitch Livingston “got us a little
money” for AIDS Awareness
Week, which started Monday,
Nov. 29.

Chappell said the university
wasn’t the first organization to
take action against the fraternity,
which had been ordered to write
letters of apology to the universi-
ty and other Greek organizations
by the national Phi Kappa Sigma
organization.

Each fraternity member also
was ordered to serve 16 hours
each of community service in the
Hispanic community.

In addition, the campus
Interfraternity Council banned
the fraternity from rush activities
for a year.

The fraternity’s case was taken
up by the Individual Rights
Foundation of Los Angeles.

The settlement reached Oct.
28 ordered reinstatement of the
fraternity and legal sessions on
First Amendment issues for Del
Pizzo and activities director
Kevin Ferguson.

““We’re hoping this sends a
clear message to university
administrators that the First
Amendment is not a tool. It’s a
principle,” Maura Whalen, a
spokeswoman for the founda-
tion, told The Associated Press.

Cracks In the Mirrors of Self-Image

Many American little girls
believe that they can assume
any occupational title which
suits their talents; whether it
be a doctor or comic, educa-
tor or police officer, governor
or archaeologist, they are
taught that girls can and
should prepare themselves to
take places in the work force
previously secured only by
men. These girls learn that
their minds are valuable, and
merit access to the most
selective universities and the
most exclusive fields of
research; we tell them that
they will make good mothers,
politicians, scientists, employ-
ers, and activists, and that
they are important players in

By Kim Leoncavallo

a future which is theirs for the
taking.

But that isn’t all they know.
They also learn that their hap-
piness and eventual success
is contingent on one factor we
leave out of the textbooks,
that they must, above all, be
thin. The advertisers of a
number of women’s maga-
zines have a definitive ideal of
what a happy, successful
woman should look like, and
she weighs approximately 23
B percent less than the average
American woman. These
images are reinforced when-
ever we step into a grocery
store, turn on the television,
go to a movie, or leaf through
a magazine. It’s no small
wonder then, that in 1990 the
New York Times reported that
the diet industry grossed
about $33 billion a year.
Naomi Wolf’s The Beauty
Myth places a moderately
active woman’s daily caloric
needs to be about 2,250 calo-
ries. The Beverly Hills Diet
allows for an intake of only
1,200 calories, while the
Hilton Head Diet permits only
800.

A wealth of literature and
much research has interested
itself on the current obsessive
trend to achieve the some-
what emaciated ideal which
graces our billboards and
store front windows; however,
the startling facts remain eeri-
ly consistent: most teenage
girls are unhappy with their
bodies and many seek to
change themselves by refus-
ing to eat, or purging what
they ingest. The once
promised success of these
girls is lost in the quest to be
thin, so much so, that some
studies estimate that suffer
from Anorexia or Bulimia
Nervosa.

Anorexia Nervosa is char-
acterized by a relentless pur-
suit of thinness, resulting in

Dangerous Stepping Stones to Thindom ?

significant weight loss, even
to the degree of death by
starvation. In the same year
that the Supreme Court
inducts its second female
Justice, the American
Anorexia and _ Bulimia
Association estimates that
150,000 women will die of
Anorexia and, coupled with
Bulimia, will strike one million
more. To be anorexic means
weighing 15% less than the
minimum weight for healthy
functioning and growth. It
means cessation of one’s
menstrual cycle for at least 3
months and believing that
even though emaciated, one
is still fat.

Anorexic people are preoc-
cupied with food and have an
obsessive fear of gaining
weight. The medical effects of
Anorexia include hypother-
mia, lowered body tempera-
ture, low blood pressure,
impaired heartbeat, infertility,
and death by cardiac arrest,
congestive heart failure, or
circulatory collapse. The self
destructive cyclical nature of
the drive for thinness and fear
of obesity proceeds as such:
excessive dieting to the point
of semi-starvation which
leads to a preoccupation with
food; this heightens the
anorexic person’s anxiety
about losing control and gain-
ing weight, and ultimately this
intensifies her resolve to lose
weight. She is typically list-
less, withdrawn, and
depressed. Rather than con-
cerning herself wholly with
what she can do, the anorexic
person sees only what she

aaa ae ear re ae

can’t, and what she can’t do
is lose enough weight.
Instead of thriving and claim-
ing her inheritance to the hard
won freedom to be whatever
she’d like to be, the anorexic
female starts to disappear.
Bulimia Nervosa, though
different in execution, is simi-
lar to Anorexia in the motiva-
tional fear of obesity. It is
characterized by frequent eat-
ing binges during which the
bulimic person consumes
large quantities of food and
then forces herself to vomit or
seek other means of purging
to avoid gaining weight.
Victims of Bulimia Nervosa
habitually engage in uncon-
trollable eating binges during
which the food ingested is
hardly tasted. After the
episode, the Bulimic person
tries to undo the caloric dam-
age and purge by vomiting,
laxatives, or excessive exer-
cise. The temporary relief felt
by purging allows for more
bingeing which necessitates
more purging, establishing a
cyclical precedent not unlike
that experienced by victims of
Anorexia. Bulimics frequently
feel ashamed and disgusted
by their behavior and per-
ceive themselves as power-
less and out of control. The
medical effects of Bulimia
include receding gums, a
potassium deficiency which
can lead to paralysis, kidney
disease, irregular heart
rhythm, heart damage, and
death by virtue of internal
bleeding or an eroded esoph-
agus. Victims of Bulimia
share the Anorexic’s fear of

gaining weight and the ulti-
mate possession of a distort-
ed body image which serves
to motivate the destructive
behavior.

Although men do comprise
approximately 5 percent of
victims of Anorexia or Bulimia
Nervosa, and the age of
onset does
vary, the ¢
onslaught off
both diseases §
usually occurs —
in adolescent |
and teenage
girls. A recent
study cited by
Naomi Wolf}
found that 537
percent of 13
year old girls
were dissatis-
fied with their
bodies, and by
age of eighteen ©
and over, that
figure rose to
78 ~=percent.
Most American
women can, in
some way,
relate to this
alarming statis-
tic. While
women_~ are
encouraged to
seek out the
opportunities;
which have so j
recently been
made available ~
to them, they are also told
that their success is condi-
tional. Achieving the current
aesthetic ideal is, for most, an
impossibility limiting one’s
options before they can be

explored. Anorexia and
Bulimia are merely symptoms
of a larger social problem
which maintains that women
may proceed into previously
restricted spheres of influence
only if they continue to meet
society’s expectation that they
will seek to emulate this

unreasonable standard. Until
this changes, the potential of
which we’re are so proud will
be remained shadowed by
what are perceived as incom-
plete successes.

surgeons to prevent sur-

encourage limitations to
those who may undergo
such operations. The
largest factor lies in the
determination by the
surgeon of whether the
decision of the
patient to have
surgery has been
“maturely” made
after careful con-
sideration of its
consequences.
Dr. Joel Karen of
Plainview, New

that if he has any
reservations
about performing
the surgery ona

because the
patient does not
have mature sec-

not demonstrate
psychological stability.
He routinely performs

Fire destroys dorm
Three students get burned

Cleveland, Tenn
(CPS) Three Lee College stu-
dents badly burned in a dorm fire
are progressing “miraculously”
after a fire destroyed their dormi-
tory in about 30 minutes, a col-
lege spokesman said.

The fire, which has been clas-
sified as arson, destroyed the
building at around 2:30 a.m. on
Nov. 4, said Lee College
spokesman Cameron Fisher.

Three students were burned
mostly on their faces and hands
and are in a burn unit in a
Chattanooga, Tenn. hospital.
Another student is recuperating
from back surgery, and 17 other
students were hurt with burns,
cuts and broken bones.

the college is offering a reward
for information that leads to the
arrest and conviction of whoever
was responsible.

The blaze began in a chapel in
the men’s dorm, which housed
76 students in a two-story,
9,000-square-foot building. “All
the residents lost everything,” he
said, adding that the students are
being housed together in
Tomlinson College, a nearby
institution.

“It’s a disaster that could have
been a tragedy,” Fisher said. “It’s
a total miracle they all made it
out.”

College officials had planned
to raze the 50—year—old building,
but Fisher said there are no defi-
nite plans yet to replace the
structure.

However, the Colonials ended the half
on an 11-6 spurt, giving them a 34-26
half-time lead.

In the second half, every time Albany
got close, Binghamton would pull away
and play stronger.

Trailing 38-26, Hotaling’s baseline
jumper brought Albany within 10.
Graber’s lay-up, assisted by Murray,
and Hotaling’s three—point bomb cut the
lead to 39-33 with 17:50 left in the
game. But the Colonials went on a 10-4
spurt to propel them to a 49-37 advan-
tage with 13:07 left.

Later, when trailing 53-41, Girnius’
baseline jumper and junior Jason
Ferrier’s two free throws enabled
Albany to pull within eight.

However, Binghamton went on an 8-0
run to put the game away 61-45, with

Women’s Cross Country finishes eighth at
New York State Regionals to cap off season

By Eric DAGNALL
Sports Editor

On November 12, the Albany
women’s cross country team headed
to Rochester for the opportunity to
qualify for the National Collegiate
Athletic Association cross country
championships.

With a strong showing at the New
York State Championships, hopes
were high to be one of the three
schools to qualify. However ,Albany
fell short, placing eighth out of 21
schools. Albany finished with 254
points.

“I was pleased with the outcome,”
coach Ron White said. “We were just
a little more spread out than last week
(Nov. 5).”

Albany’s two through five runners
finished 42 seconds apart, whereas at

the NY States they finished 28 sec-
onds apart.

Freshman Tonya Dodge completed
a successful campaign with another
strong showing. Her time of 19:32
was good for 15th place.

“She’s had a good year,” White
said. “She’ll take a lot of experience
with her into next season.”

Cindy Many, a sophomore, had a
strong second half of the cross coun-
try season. Her 51st place finish
(20:43) capped off an impressive sec-
ond season.

“Cindy has improved steadily
throughout the season,” White said.

Senior co-captain Karen Huvala
completed her tenure at Albany with a
64th place finish (21:04).

Fellow co-captain Jennifer Miller
had a time of 21:29 for 77th place.

Sophomore Christina Saburro fin-

ished eight seconds ahead of Miller
for 75th place (21:21).

Sophomore Rebecca Popp and
freshman Jennifer Viscardo finished
97th and 111th, respectively, with
times of 22:20 and 22:55.

Cortland State, the eventual
National Champions, dominated the
Regionals. Their total of 18 points
was three points shy of the perfect
score of 15. Geneseo State finished
second with 55 points. Geneseo would
eventually finish seventh at the
Nationals. Completing the qualifying
three was Binghamton. Their 115
points just edged Ithaca College, who
finished with 119 points.

Albany completes a successful sea-
son in which they will only lose two
seniors. The young team gained valu-
able experience that will enable
Albany to improve next season.

College, created some disappointment among the Danes.

North Central set a record by scoring 32 points, with
four of the top six finishers. Albany’s 124 points set a
school record, but La Crosse provided a surprisingly
strong performance.

The race, held on November 20, featured 21 teams and
37 individual runners, all of whom had qualified at their
Regional championships.

Out to a fast start, seniors Orvis and Rogers were in
the top six through one mile, running under 4:30. Being
unfamiliar with the course, Albany was caught from
behind by North Central by the second mile. The uneven
course took the wind out of a number of runners, notably
Jason DeJoy. He finished fifth out of Albany’s seven
men, with a time of 26:25.

Albany’s top two runners most of this year, Orvis
(11th, 10 points) and Rogers (19th, 14 points), became
consecutive All-Americans with finishes of 25:09 and
25:21, respectively. Orvis has now won three
All-American honors.

Carroll, also in his final season, placed 23rd overall
(25:28), good for 16 points and All-American status.

Coach Roberto Vives credits Carroll with “an inspir-
ing race,” as he had to use great effort to hold off com-
petitors in the final stretch.

Senior William Vanos was disappointed at being
slighted over All-American honors, finishing 31st over-
all, but 23rd among scorers, with another outstanding
time of 25:47. Vanos led the Danes at the Codfish Bowl
and ranked high in every race this year.

Senior Keith Reilly and freshman James Sommer had
fine efforts with times of 26:43 and 27:26, respectively.
Reilly had contributed immensely to the first ever
Albany Invitational victory for the Danes.

Vives considered the Nationals the best race by the

Danes at this level.

“In most years, this was good enough to win a
National Championship,” Vives said. “We knew we’re as
good a team as any in the country. We’ ve developed con-
sistency.” Around the nation, Albany has become recog-
nized as one of the teams to beat.

Assistant coach Dr. Kevin Williams called the course
at Grinnell deceiving. He is proud of the team since
everyone performed better than at last year’s Nationals.

“They have set a standard and may have established a
winning tradition,” he said.

The team’s reaction to the Nationals and the season in
general displayed feelings of satisfaction, save for minor
disappointment over third place.

Rogers called the Nationals “a great run. We really
can’t complain.”

According to Rogers the exciting victory at the Albany
Invite remains the high point of the season.

DeJoy considers the season “a success, the best ever.
We’ re definitely the second team in the nation.” However
he credited La Crosse with a great race.

Reilly proclaimed a “positive feeling all around. I’m
fortunate in my four years here that I’ve gone to the
Nationals three times.”

Carroll was full of praise for his teammates, calling
Reilly the team’s hardest worker, and crediting some of
his success to a friendly rivalry with Vanos. Most of his
remarks, however, were directed towards appreciation of
Vives and Williams, who had “a phenomenal impact on
the team’s success.”

As far as next year, Williams and Vives are excited
about the challenge. Sommer, DeJoy, Bennett and
Dennis King are expected to help the team remain in
contention and among the top ten.

inconsistency that had been evident at the

loss in the Capital District Tournament
Championship game, the Lady Danes con-

little aggressiveness in the first half. |
However, the second half play by
Albany turned a potential disaster into
an easy win, 65-53.

The first six minutes were extremely
sloppy, as Albany and Binghamton
managed to hit just four field goals.
With 13:39 left in the half,
Binghamton’s Jennifer Gaeta hit a lay-
up giving the Colonials an 84 lead.

Binghamton led at the half 27-19,
but clearly dominated to that point.
They were led by Roggenbaum with
10 points and Gaeta with 10 rebounds.

Guards Margaret Feerick, a sopho-

Sophomore guard Tara Carr set up bas-

junior forward Squires, who combined for
31 points in the half. Between 9:45 and

25-3. Albany’s aggressiveness forced

‘poor shot selection, as well as 36

turnovers for the game.

For the game totals, Albany shot a poor
