aged 8 to 11, in trick or treating

Chairs, bobbing for apples, and
Simon Sez. —

Students learn about alcoholism

By TARA SCULLY
News Editor

AlcoholWeek was concluded a week ago Monday with
the theatrical presentation “Last Call”.

Bill Ross and Brian Smith performed a juggling com-
edy act, in which they coaxed students to 0 take © ‘a sober-
ing look at alcohol abuse.”

Approximately 100 students gathered in the Campus
Center Ballroom for the circus-like performance which
was sponsored by Middle Earth, the Student Association
and SADD.

The juggling duo from Massachusetts, are motivat-
ed by their own life experiences which they incorpo-
rate into their act. The two act comedy gave each of the

Bill Ross and Brian Smith give presentation on alcoholism

performers the opportunity to present their own strug-
gles with alcohol.

Ross told his story first. He told the audience how
he was a teenager out of control, he turned
to beer and pot. “The world was just passing me by,” he
said, “drinking was controlling me, I wasn’t control-
ling it.”As if dancing to music, Ross juggled to his story.
He portrayed one of his lowest points by juggling a fiery
torch, a bowling ball and a knife.

After the pair simulated a drunk driving accident thro
ugh the use of a unicycle, Ross said, “Drunk driving is to
tally lame, totally stupid, and totally avoidable.”

Smith gave the audience a list of warning signs of alco-
holism that included, drinking alone, drinking in the mor
ning and blacking out. He also made students aware of
on campus resources they can go to for help.

“Every time a person drinks [alcohol] they enter a mi
ne full of possibilities,” said Smith. He then brought to

light several alcohol related statistics which were emph
asized again later in the performance. For example, one
out of every five drivers on a weekend night, in a col-
lege town are drunk.

They brought up a volunteer from the audience, jug-
gled pins in front of her and behind her while quizzing
her, on the statistics they threw out earlier in the show.

The audience was rolling with laughter at the pair’s
silly analogies and re-enactments.

Besides promoting responsible decision making, emp
hasizing alternatives to drug and alcohol use and increas
ing awareness to the dangers Ross and Smith gave stu-

dents feasible approaches to such problems. They did so -

in a fun and humorous way.

The two travel all over the country bringing their mes
sage to schools and organizations nationwide. “It basi-
cally feels good”, said Ross after the show, “ I get to do
the things I love, I get to entertain and juggle while cre-
ating awareness about things I have personal experi-
ence with.”

The Director of Middle Earth Peer Assistance Pro-
gram Dolores Cimini said, “ I think that this is a very eff
ective way of bringing alcohol awareness messages acr-
oss, using unique tools to keep students interested.”

Falzone’s safe sex
lecture 1S a success

By TARA SCULLY
News Editor

Despite competition from the third
game of the World Series, over 500
people showed up for Maria
Falzone’s production of “Hot, Sexy,
and Safer”.

The Campus Center ballroom was
overflowing last Tuesday night.
After all of the seats were full, stu-
dents stood lining the side and rear
walls. No one wanted to miss out on
this sexual experience.

SUNYA students have the
Women’s Issues office of the
Student Association to thank for the
eye-opening comedy act.

Through her comedy, Falzone
advocated masturbation, but stressed
the importance of safe sex. “The
only safe sex is with yourself,” she
-said. “How can you ask someone to
give you pleasure, if you can’t give
yourself pleasure?” she asked the
audience.

Falzone generated even more
laughter when she brought audience
members up on stage to prove the
undiscriminatory nature of the AIDS
virus. “AIDS does not discrimi-
nate,” she said, “It doesn’t matter if
you are black, white, single or mar-
ried.”

Falzone also addressed the issue
of body images. She stressed the
importance of self exploration, “If
you love your body, then you’ll find
someone who will love and treasure
your body too.”

Using words like “woobee” and
“wiener” in place of scientifically
correct terms for genitalia, Falzone
talked about the 1000 alternatives
there are to sexual intercourse..

Falzone also spent some time
emphasizing the importance of com-
munication between partners.

A program about sex wouldn’t be
complete without condom use
instruction. With the help of a good
natured audience member, Falzone
showed how to properly use a con-
dom. She introduced the audience to
female condoms, flavored condoms
and dental dams. She even stretched
a condom over the volunteer’s head.

“When you practice safe sex,”
Falzone emphasized, “‘it is an act of
self-love.” She ended the show with
the distribution of condoms.

Samantha Hiotakis from the
Women’s Issues Office at SA said,
“I’m impressed, it was everything I
hoped it would be. The audience
spoke for itself,” she added, “They
were happy, I was happy.”

|| Student attacked on Lark Street

By SUSAN REONEGRO

A SUNYA student was the victim
of violence last weekend, being ter-
geted possibly for being a homosex-
ual.

The student, a sophomore at
SUNYA, said he was jumped by
three people on the corner of Lark
and Jay Street.

“T didn’t realize what the hell was
happening.” the victim said. The
student wishes to remain anony-
mous.

His friend, who witnessed the
attack, managed to get inside a near-
by Ben and Jerry’s and call for help.
He was also able to talk to witnesses
who claimed the attack was gay-
bashing. Z

According to people at the scene,
the two students were targeted
because they looked like a gay cou-
ple.

The two students had just arrived
downtown and were totally sober.
The students said they were on their
way to the bars for some beer when
the three attackers got in their way.

One student was able to escape
and call for help, but the other did
not get off as easy.

Before he realized what was going
on, a punch was thrown and hit him
in the face. This caused him to fall
to the ground where he curled into a
fetal position. The attackers pro-
ceeded to kick him in the back of the

head.

The ambulance arrived and
brought the victim to Albany
Medical Center. Due to the bleeding
in his ear a CAT-scan was per-
formed. Fortunately, there were no
permanent injuries. The blood had
clotted on his ear drum which
caused hearing difficulties.

“T can’t hear out of the injured ear
very well, it feels like I have cotton
in it.” the attacked student explains.
The clotting will heal on its own and

‘a full recovery is expected in a few

weeks.

The three attackers took off in a
black Nissan Maxima, with a license
plate number was traced to New
York City. Albany police will not be
able to take any action for a few
days because they do not live in
their jurisdiction.

There are many ways to ensure
student safety which needs to be
enforced. One way is the Whistle
Watch Program. This program is
designed to alert community resi-
dents of a problem occurring in the
area. When residents hear the whis-
tle, they know someone is in trouble
and respond immediately by calling
for help.

These whistles are available for
students and faculty members free
of charge. For additional informa-
tion visit the office of personal safe-
ty and off campus affairs in CC110.

Help is on the way, but only you can make the difference

Do you enjoy helping others
with their problems or concerns?
Do your friends tend to seek you
out when they need to talk? Do
you feel it is important to edu-
cate others about topics such as
eating disorders, alcohol and
other drugs, AIDS, and other
health issues? If so, you may
want to consider becoming a
Middle Earth peer counselor or
peer educator.

Now celebrating its 25th
Anniversary, the Middle Earth
program operates ==
a stidelt seated Middle
hotline and walk- Earth
in service as well
as an outreach RoOtS
education pro-
gram. The hotline, our most
widely used service and one of
the few services of its type in the
United States, handles over 100
client calls each month, which
range from adjustment issues,
stress, and academic anxiety to
more serious issues such as
depression, suicide, and losses of
friends and family members.

_ The peer hotline is a very impor-

tant service for the college com-
munity, as studies indicate that
many college students prefer to
talk with other students regard-

ing sensitive issues as com-
pared to family members and/or
professional counselors.

Peer counselor and peer edu-
cator trainees go through a
semester-long course, which they
may elect to take on a for-credit
or.on a volunteer basis. In this
course, entitled “Theory and
Practice in Peer Counseling and
Peer Education, students learn
basic listening skills and attend
weekly classes which address
campus issues such as rape and
sexual assault, gay, lesbian and
bisexual lifestyles, alcohol and
substance abuse, multicultural-
sim, disability, crisis interven-
tion, and other issues. After the
semester-long course is success-
fully completed, trainees may sit
on the hotline or do outreach
education activities such as
presentations and workshops.

HOW TO APPLY

Middle Earth is now accepting
applications for its Spring 1996
training class. We are seeking
students to work on our crisis
hotline and in our outreach pro-
gram. Gaining experience at
Middle Earth is valuable prepa-
ration for a variety of fields,
including psychology, psychia-
try, social work, education, and

other related fields. Applications
may be picked up at Middle
Earth, which is located in Room
204 of the Health and Counsel-
ing Services Building. The dead-
line for applications is November
15, 1996.

To enroll in the training cours-
es that are affiliated with Middle
Earth, students must first apply

study, consisting of data collect-
ed from approximately 150,000
women, indicated that oral con-
traceptives do not increase a
woman’s long-term risk of
developing breast cancer.

MYTH II: BREAST CANCER

JOCCURS AS FREQUENTLY

IRONICALLY, THE TIME TO START
SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT LOOKS

LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFFORD IT.

an’t afford to save for retirement?
The truth is, you can’t afford not to.
Not when you realize that your retirement
_can last 20 to 30 years or more. You'll want
to live at least as comfortably then as you
do now. And that takes planning.

By starting to save now, you can take
advantage of tax deferral and give your
money time to compound and grow.
Consider this: Set aside just $100 each month
beginning at age 30 and you can accumulate
over $172,109* by the time you reach age 65.
But wait ten years and you'll have to budget
$219 each month to reach the same goal.

Even if you're not counting the years to
retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF
to help you build the future you deserve—
with flexible retirement and tax-deferred
annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of invest-
ment choices, and a record of personal
service that spans 75 years.

Over 1.8 million people in education and
research put TIAA-CREF at the top of
their list for retirement planning. Why not
join them?

Call today and learn how simple it is to
build a secure tomorrow when you have time

IN YOUNG WOMEN AS IT
DOES IN OLDER WOMEN.

The fact is that by the age of
twenty-five, a woman has a 1 in
20,000 chance of developing
breast cancer. A woman’s risk
increases with increasing age;
two-thirds of women who devel-
op breast cancer will do so after
age fifty.

MYTH III: ALCOHOL CON-
SUMPTION DOES NOT SIG-
NIFICANTLY INCREASE A
WOMAN’S RISK OF DEVEL-
OPING BREAST CANCER.

Recent studies have shown
that consuming as little as one
alcoholic beverage per day
heightens a woman’s risk of
developing breast cancer.

Now that some of the myths
have been dispelled, what are
the facts?

FACT = Tf: NUMEROUS
RESEARCH EFFORTS HAVE
LINKED THE DEVELOP-
MENT OF BREAST CANCER
TO HIGH FAT, LOW FIBER

DIET.

In order to decrease the risk,
choose a diet that is low in fat
(i.e., avoid fast foods and snack
foods like potato chips and
pizza) and high in fiber (i.e.,
fruits, vegetables, cereal), Vita-
min D, and Calcium.

FACT II: A HISTORY OF
BREAST CANCER WITHIN A
WOMAN’S IMMEDIATE
FAMILY (MOTHER, SISTER)
INCREASES HER RISK FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF
BREAST CANCER.

This is especially true if an
immediate family member
developed breast cancer before
the age of fifty, or if more than
one member of the immediate
family has been diagnosed with
breast cancer.

FACT III: EARLY DETEC-
TION LEADS TO EARLY
CURE.

But what does early detection
mean? If you are a woman under
the age of thirty five, you should
perform breast self-exams
monthly; when performing a
self-exam, be aware of any
lumps or tissue thickening,
changes in the shape of the
breast or nipple, or dimpling of
the skin on the breast or sur-
rounding the nipple. Monthly
self-exams are most easily per-
formed in the shower, because
lumps are thought to be easier to
feel when skin is wet. In addi-
tion, be sure to visit your physi-
cian yearly in order to have a
more thorough examination.
Beginning at age thirty-five, and
no later than age forty, have a
yearly mammogram. This proce-
dure is a relatively quick and
painless way to detect tumors
that are not visible or obvious to
the touch while they are still
90% curable. Maintain proper
screening habits - they may save
your life.

If you have any questions
about breast cancer or about
women’s health issues in gener-
al, please contact the Middle
Earth Outreach Program or the
Assistant Health Educator at
442-5891.

Students Against Destruc- .
tive Decisions was estab-
lished at SUNYA last year,
and is slowly gaining speed.

“We are slowly getting
built up,” said SADD’s Co-

President Greg Coleman.

“SADD is the college ver-
sion of what we all know as
Students Against Driving
Drunk,” said SADD’s Co-
President Nicole Paulo.

Students Against Driving
Drunk originated as a high
school program in 1981, to
combat the number one
killer in their age group.
Since then millions of stu-
dents have gotten involved
in the multinational organi-
zation.

In 1992, the concept of
SADD was adapted for col-
lege students. It became
Students Against Destruc-
tive Decisions, and is being
implemented by college
campuses across the country.

For many
students,
college brings with it many
life threatening decisions.
These decisions often relate
to issues like alcohol use,
drug use, and sexually trans-
mitted diseases. SADD’s
goal is to encourage students
to engage in responsible
decision-making behavior.
Realistically students can’t
be stopped from engaging in
certain activities but,
SADD’s approach is to pre-
vent students from making
destructive decisions. “We

“Students are very recep-
tive to this idea,” added
Coleman.

SADD aims to develop a
network of students dedicat-
ed to healthy and safe
lifestyles, choices and social
activities. In doing so, the
organization zeros in on
increasing awareness of sub-
stance abuse and other relat-
ing issues.

SUNYA to study the rela-
tion of stress and headaches

By MIKE PoPEK
Staff writer

The Center for Stress and Anxiety Disorders
at SUNY Albany recently received a major
grant in order to research the causes of
headaches.

The $927,679 grant, the largest ever received
by the University for this kind of study, is
aimed at examining the link between chronic
headaches and stressful events. The federally
funded project will seek out 150 individuals
who suffer from chronic headaches for inten-
sive study. ;

“Many headache specialists and many, many
headache patients believe there is a connection
between stressful events in the headache
patient’s life and the onset of a headache,” said
Stress and Anxiety Center Director Edward -
Blanchard, Ph.D.

Blanchard, also a professor of psychology at
the university, looks to study 150 chronic
headache suffers over the next three years. The
headache patients will be subject to non-drug
study and analysis. These patients will be paid
20 dollars a week for six weeks in return for
their participation. These tests will include
study and analysis of the mood, stress and cor-
responding headaches of the patients.

Participants will also have the option of
receiving free non-drug treatment of their
headaches instead of six-week stipend.

Blanchard, who has been involved in
headache and treatment at the Center for Stress
and Anxiety Disorders since 1979, points out
the basis of the headache study. According to
Blanchard, the study hopes to provide sound
scientific data to break up conventional wis-
dom that asserts that headaches are stress relat-
ed.

The ASP would like to warn the owners pf
black cats, be careful because they might be

stolen and taken by a satanist and sacraficed.

ASTHMA RESEARCH

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder characterized by coughing, wheezing and short-

ness of breath. We are dedicated to evaluating investigational drugs for the inflamma-

tion and obstruction found in the lungs of those with asthma. We need asthmatics, age

4-70 years, to help evaluate research medications. They must be non-smokers and in
good health. Participants will receive a free asthma evaluation, related care and the

opportunity to learn more about their asthma. Those qualified will receive study medica-
tion and be paid. These studies are conducted under the supervision of a board certified

allergist and clinical immunologist in a private office setting.

Halloween 1996 was in full swing on
Colonial Quad this year.

The Colonial Quad Volunteer commit-

Albany children’s organizations.

The children of the Albany St. Cather-

Albany, and the Arbor Hill school were
treated to the varied Halloween festivi-
ties. The event was made possible by the

place from 6-9 p.m. on Colonial Quad
(Johnson Hall) on October 31, 1996
much more than 3 hours worth of work
was needed to make the event possible.

Colonial Quad residence hall director

Robert G. Robinson arrives to lecture about the dangers of tobacco use

By MIKE RoDA
STAFF WRITER

Robert G. Robinson, a doctor of
public health lectured on the dan-
gers of tobacco use. Sponsored by
University Counseling, the lecture
was given in the PAC recital hall at
2 p.m. on Thursday. The small
turnout resulted in an informal dis-
cussion session.

Robinson, who is employed by
the Office on Smoking and Health,
based in Atlanta, Georgia has been
working towards the prevention of
tobacco use for over twelve years.

Robinson highlighted his main
concern as the effort to prevent
smoking among young teenagers,
citing, “If you haven’t begun
smoking by the age of 10 to 20,
chances are you won’t start smok-
ing .”

According to the data provided
by the Office on Smoking and
Health the mean age of becoming
a regular smoker is 14.6 years.
Furthermore, the mean age of
becoming a regular smoker is 17.5
years. To strengthen this fact
Robinson added that 80% of adult
smokers began smoking before the
age of 18.

Through the use of a slide show
consisting of several graphs,
Robinson drew comparisons
between gender, race, and age.
This data illustrated that black
teenagers are less likely to be
smokers than the white teenagers.
Female teenagers are reported to
have a higher percentage of smok-
ers than male teenagers, though
the overall percentage of male
smokers exceeds the percentage of
female smokers.

According to the data presented,
many problems are linked to the
United States tobacco industry.
The problems include both health
related and economic issues. A
reported 410,000 people in the
U.S., and between 5 to 10 million

people worldwide died in 1995
due to the use of tobacco. Of
course, tobacco use has a high cor-
relation to lung cancer, but in order
to be objective one must add that
the correlation is not perfect, and
to link smoking as a direct cause of
lung cancer is an impossibility.

Naturally, it is clear that smoking
is a major health problem, and also
a problem for the health care
industry in the U.S. 7% of U.S.
health care costs are spent on
smoking related health problems.
In addition to this, Robinson point-
ed out that smoking is the number
one preventable cause of death in
the U.S.

Complimenting and complicat-
ing matters further are the econom-
ic factors involved in smoking. The
tobacco industry in the U.S. spends
an inordinate amount of money on
promotions and advertising. This is
seen frequently in sporting events,

_ concerts, magazines, etc.

According to Robinson, the ten-
sion to be negotiated is in the form
of a conflict between the communi-
ty and the media. He cites adver-
tisements and promotions that
involve free give-aways as a major
problem that teenagers are forced
to cope with.

life. But, the problem does not end
after adolescence, he said.

One graph indicated that in the
U.S., American Indians have the
highest percentage of smokers fol-
lowed by blacks, whites, Hispan-
ics, and lastly, Asians. All of which
are seeing an increase in levels of
tobacco use. .

Although the problem stares us
in the face, Robinson said, a solu-
tion remains to be seen. Robinson
hopes FDA regulation and commu-
nity efforts can somehow dissolve
corporate and promotional influ-
ence. In an attempt to prove the
effectiveness of advertising.
Robinson displayed a graph show-
ing that the three brands which
spent the most on advertising are
the most popular brands among
teenagers.

If FDA regulations can join
Robinson’s three goals of preven-
tion, protection, and promotion of
educational programs, a decrease
in tobacco use may begin to
emerge. Some FDA regulations
Robinson advocates include curb-
ing smoking to those under 18,
eliminating vending machines, and
elimination of promotional give-
aways. He is also in support of a
regulation requiring corporations

based strategies , educational pro-
grams, educational discussions

The FDA encourages Robin-
son’s organization as well as oth-
ers to help curb smoking, but
Robinson still perceives the first
step as community involvement.
“IT think communities can do
more by getting family and

said, “if we can increase visibili-

Clinton and Dole prepare for elections

By KEVIN DEVALK
News Editor

As the race to the White House enters its final stages this week, President Bill
Clinton’s lead over his challenger, Bob Dole, appears to be sliding.

Both men are in the middle of a marathon series of campaign stops, and neither will
return to Washington until after the election.

Clinton’s lead dropped to 12.6 percent, according to a poll released Wednesday by
Reuters, the British news-gathering agency.

In the poll released Wednesday, 45.5 percent of those polled said they would vote for
Clinton, compared to 32.9 percent for Dole. 8.3 percent said they would vote for Reform
Party candidate H. Ross Perot, while 10.7 percent said they ,asqemy ees 3 ee

Both groups plan to campaign through the election on Tffesday.

In preparation for the election, each group has been p¢gssing out material on the can-
didates, campaigning at local election sites, talking to sjudents about the importance of
voting, and overall have been voicing their ideas on the/current political issues.

‘We are constantly told to exercise our right to vote, but from an international per-
spective voting is not a right but a privilege. And in this country where everybody is
guaranteed the opportunity to vote for our leaders, there is no excuse for not taking the
time to do so. There are people around the world who would die = the privilege to
vote,” Padgug said.

Kauffman said he also feels young Americans should exercise their vote. In addi-
tion, he is an adamant supporter of President Bill Clinton. “Nobody, since John F.
Kennedy has fired our imaginations and enthusiasm, and we are going to renew his
contract for another four years,” Kauffman said.

Responding with similar enthusiasm for his candidate of choice, Padgug said, “I
heard people tell me they had given up hope on Dole and I say to them that there is
still a silent majority in the U.S. that will see a “President Bob Dole’ come next term.
He is an excellent candidate for the presidency and has an excellent record in the
Senate. .

“This is a man, who,-unlike President Clinton, will do something with the office of
president.”

Although Padgug is a strong supporter of Dole, he also has commented on the intel-
ligence and character of Clinton. However, Pagdud said he wants to make it clear his
organization is an intellectual forum interested in promoting an exchange of political
ideas, rather than issuing disparaging words about the other candidates.

“I’m not interested in directing any sort of disrespect towards the president, because
on a personal level I think he is a brilliant man and I think as a nation we need to have
more respect for our leaders, especially the president, as our “chief”. However, on

#auffman has been campaigning on campus for Judge Larry Rosen and Judge John
Connor of the seven-county area. At the time of his interview, Kauffman was on cam-
pus with Connor in an effort to spark voters interest.

Connor, who agreed to be interviewed, articulated his view, saying, “We deal with
constitutional issues that are extremely important to liberties and constitutional rights
of people.” During his visit to the University at Albany Connor also noted the impor-
tance of young voters. “I’m glad the University Democrats have supported me, and it
is important for young people to play an active role in political issues. They are a very
strong segment of our population,”he said.

The importance of the young American vote is a common issue on all sides. In his
concluding statement, Padgug said, “I cannot emphasize too much the importance of
the vote, apathy is not a solution. Not exercising the right to vote undermines the term

“American Citizen’.”

Padgug said interested students should e-mail College Republicans at
ACR@CNSVAX.ALBANY.EDU for more information on the organization and the
upcoming elections.

4a Aspects

November 1,1996

(NSNS) On the first track from
Nirvana’s latest release, From the Muddy
Banks of the Wishkah, drummer David
Grohl and Kurt Cobain exchange small talk
over a lilting bass line. Then, like many a
Nirvana song, the calm is interrupted by
Cobain’s heavily distorted guitar and
repeated, vocal chord-shattering screams.
It's impossible to listen to Wishkah -
without bringing all that’s been made of
Cobain's 1994 suicide to the table. So
much has been said and written since then
that Cobain has already taken his rightful
place in rock’s Prematurely Deceased Club,
right next to Jim Morrison and Jimi
Hendrix.
Those inclined to be cynical towards
another posthumous release (Unplugged
came out in ‘94) might label Wishkah a

desperate attempt to squeeze a few more
dollars out of Cobain’s pained legacy. But
that would miss the point completely. What
Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic have done

with this collection of live performances is

provide a tribute, not to Cobain the man,
but to the music of Nirvana.

The 17 songs that comprise Wishkah
range the band’s short career, from an early
1989 version of ‘Polly’ to the acidic
‘Scentless Apprentice. The band is in top
form throughout the album—Cobain’s vocals
are characteristically strained and scratchy,
Grohl pounds the skins with ferocious
energy, and Novoselic grounds the mix with
his melodic bass lines.

Some of the best cuts on the album
might be less familiar to fans. Both ‘Been a
Son’ (from Incesticide) and ‘Sliver’ (from

Bleach) showcase Cobain’s penchant for
writing undeniably poppy tunes. Another
gem is ‘Milk It’ in which Cobain and late
addition Pat Smear indulge in some atonal
guitar noodling. And, of course, it’s difficult
net to hum along to ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’
when Cobain sings “Hello; hello, hello /
How low?"

Though it is not as moving as the
haunting Unplugged performance, From the
Muddy Banks of Wishkah, named for a river
in Cobain and Novoselic’s hometown of
Aberdeen, WA, succeeds in showing the
band at it’s noisy, feedback-laden, kicking-
and-screaming best. As Novoselic writes in
the liner notes, “Crank this record up realize
the bliss, power and passion...” | couldn't

There once was a girl with a lovely perfume
With a scent that reminds you of roses in bloom,
And the boys dropped like flies,

When they looked into mher eyes,

And caught the scent of her lovely perfume.

But, at the same time,
There was a horrible crime,
Caused by the man called “The Beholder!”
He shot five people right smack in the head,
And the sixth, he shot in the shoulder.

But, this girl, she was strolling along
As the boys passed out all around her.
They smelt her perfume,

And they started to swoon
from the “Beauty” that surrounds her.

“Beauty” I asssume, is the name of the perfume
That she used almost every day.
But as she walked down the street,
She was headed to meet _—
The man with the purple beret.

The police, it seems, had arrived at the scene
Where five people had been shot in the head.
The one who survived,

: Though barly alive,
Said the killer had a hat on his head.

A purple beret, the woman came to say,
Was the hat that the killer had worn.
The one who shot her in the shoulder |

Had said his name was the “Beholder!”

And she wished he had never been born.

But the man with the purple beret
Decided that he would kill again that day. ©
So he attacked the girl with the lovly perfume,
But, luckily for her, he attacked to soon.
And she was able to hit him away.

She reached in her pocketbook for something to
use,

[A can of “Mace”, or something else to do the duty.

But all she could find
In her frantic state of mind,
Was a can of perfume called “Beauty”

She kicked him in the groin, oncem maybe twice,
Then she punched him in the shoulder. ©
Then she sprayed him in the face
With her substitute Mace,
| And now “Beauty” is in the eye of the “Beholder!” |

Did you ever find yourself delirious?

Mind going crazy, acting stupid.
Man, | really messed up. | just can’t
believe that humor could back fire
and eat you up for days. Well, |
messed up and am really eating it
now. Those buggies are in my
stomach, because you just can’t
take back what you have done.
Why? | am still asking myself! Don’t
ever be stupid. Say and do things
right the first time and then it will be
o-kay. The old cliche, you only
have one chance to make a first
impression, especially with those
you care about and love. This is
getting really long winded and |

Snow sucks and the only thing that

going to leave my car buried until the

LGBA take trip to D.C. to view the AIDS quilt

By TARA SCULLY
Staff writer

Three weeks ago Saturday,

SUNYA’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
Alliance sponsored a trip to Washing-
ton D.C. to view the AIDS quilt. The
AIDS quilt is displayed by The
Names Project Foundation.

while others pay tribute to many.

According to the chair of the quilt
committee, Dan Ruisi, the quilt drew
many viewers. 5

“T’ve never seen so many people,”
he said. He added that he was
shocked by the diversity of the spec-
tators, who ranged from senior citi-
zens to young adults.

Students display quilt at Washington D.C.
Approximately 15 SUNYA stu-

dents piled into two rental station
wagons and drove down to the
nation’s capital to pay their respects
to the victims of the disease that has
claimed the lives of over 3 million

people worldwide.

The AIDS memorial quilt which

takes up the space of about 18 foot-
ball fields, stretched from the Capitol
building to the Washington Monu-
ment. With about 32,000 panels the
immense quilt is only representative
of 11% of U.S. AIDS deaths.
panel measures 3 feet by six feet.

The panels of the quilt are person-
alized with materials ranging from
Barbie dolls and buttons to love let-
ters and wedding rings. Some panels
memorialize a single individual,

“It felt like a grave yard,” said
Ruisi, “but, a graveyard built with
love. It was touching, instead of sor-
rowful. It was depressing, but in a
good way.”

The LGBA is currently working on
a quilt project of its own. LGBA
members and community volunteers
plan on creating panels for Capital
District AIDS victims that are not
already included on the quilt.

LGBA has notified The AIDS
Council of Northeastern New York,
and several newspapers about their
plans. They are currently awaiting
responses. ‘“‘We will include anyone’s
name.” said Ruisi. Depending on the
size of their project, LGBA plans to
eventually display their panels some-
where on campus.

.02 of 1% or more but not more than .07 of
1% will be charged with “driving after having
consumed alcohol.” This means that those
charged with the offense will then have to
appear before an administrative law judge of
the Department of Motor Vehicles for a hear-
ing.

In addition, those with BACs found to be
05% or .06% could be charged with DWAI
(Driving While Ability is Impaired by alco-
hol), and can be prosecuted in a criminal
court.

If an offender under the age of 21 is
stopped by a police officer and the officer
believes that he is driving while intoxicated
or impaired, they have the right to temporari-
ly detain the offender and make him take a
breathalyzer test (Breathalyzer tests are
given at police stations). If the officer does

‘|not believe the offender to be intoxicated,

impaired, or have committed some other
criminal act than arrest cannot be made. If

the offender refuses to take a breath test, his
license can be revoked for more than a year.
The penalty for violating the zero tolerance
law is a mandatory civil fine of $125 and a
six month license suspension. If any prior
alcohol-related offenses are found, police
may suspend the offender’s license until his
21 birthday or one year, which ever is longer.
An additional fee of $100 must be paid
after the license is returned. It is possible to
get a conditional license if there are no prior
alcohol-related convictions; however, in order
to receive such a license a State Drinking
Drivers program, which carries further costs,
must be completed. A conditional license
enables the offender to drive to and from
school and work and other essential places.
Those who offend the zero tolerance law
will face a permanent mark on their record
for three years, or until the offender’s turn 21
birthday, which ever is longer. People with
BACs higher than .07% will be charged with
DWAI, and will be prosecuted in a criminal
court. If the BAC is .10% or more, the
charge is driving while intoxicated (DWI).

On Sunday, October 20, the Homeless Out-
reach of NYPIRG (New York Public Interest
Research Group) cosponsored a walk-a-thon
in downtown Albany with the Hunger Action
Network of New York. Participants in the
walk-a-thon raised money through sponsors
for Soup Kitchens in Albany. Laura Ardito, a
member of NYPIRG, was glad participants
got to meet the people they were helping.
“When you go into shelters and meet peo-

NYPIRG reaches out against hunger, and helps the homeless

ple,” she said, “you realize that most people
don’t fit the stereotype, most of them are col-
lege educated.”

The homeless Outreach of NYPIRG is
planning a Hunger/Poverty Awareness Week
in November. One of the projects planned for
the week is a Miss-a-Meal-a-thon. They hope
to encourage students to miss a meal one day
during that week and have UAS donate the
money from the students’ meal plans to the
soup kitchens. More information can be
obtained by calling NYPIRG at 442-5658.

What is numerology? It is the study of your immediate future through important numbers in your life. To arrive at your num-
ber, add the day of your birth month, birth day, and birth year, plus the number 6. Continue to add the digits until you have a

single digit. (Ex. If you were born March 3, 1976, add 3 + 3+1+9+7+6+6. This equals 35. Add 3+5. 8 is your number)
1 This week will be very confusing don’t try to figure things out just enjoy then and don’t worry about how or why

2 Error is human even a whole lot of it. Life it seems like you are handling things wrong don’t worry about it. As
long as you are learning from your mistakes they won’t happen again.

3 Good things are right around the corner.

4 You need acupuncture. Just don’t drink water immediately afterward of it will leak out.

with. they really are worth it though. think about it you know that already.

6 New things are coming. Be prepared for new experiences.

10 Forebearance is key just wait things out and be pleasantly surprised. Things might seem
tough right now but there is good in every thing. Seek out the good, enjoy it, don’t think
about the bad. It won’t last forever and when it is all over you will enjoy what you have

that much more.

The Woodrats mystery, why have they been disappearing?

By ANTHONY FRANZESE
Staff Writer

The Natural Lecture Series presented
the second, of a five part series on Tues-
day, October 22. It was part of the series
of free public lectures held here at the
University at Albany.

The topic was “Mystery of the
Woodrats.” The presentation was given by

the mysterious disappearance of the
Alleghany wood rat, a native of southern
New York and other areas of the U.S.

The species has seen a noticeable
decline in numbers in the last decade or
so, and interest has evolved over its disap-
pearance.

The wood rat, Hicks, explained, is a
furry creature that dwells in the forests
and lives very similar to a pack rat. It

A touch of culture comes to Colonial Heights

By NATASHA LEE
Staff Writer

The coffee house craze has been spreading since
the premiere of the T.V. sitcom Friends. Now it seems
SUNYA has been bitten by the bug. On October 16,
Colonial quad’s Livingston Tower has opened up a
coffee house on it’s 22nd floor.

Since ‘last semester, there has been talk about the
new requirements of living in Livingston. The tower
was set aside for upper classmen only. The tower is
now referred to as Colonial Heights.

This change was made to group together a more
mature group which would need less supervision.
Thus, the number of RA’s for each section was cut in
half. :

Residential life and University Auxiliary Services
came up with the idea of the new coffee house. The
area used for the coffee house was used previously

The new coffee bar is serving patries and coffee to Colonial Heights students.

-days through Thursdays 8:00pm to 11:00pm.

as a study area.

Now Residential Life has divided the area into a
part—study lounge part—coffee house. The coffee
house has many couches and love seats. The decorum
is designed to be inviting.

However there are some complaints by the stu-
dents. Sara Isham, a senior said, “Basically when they
said coffee house, and that cappuccino was going to
be sold also, I was expecting real coffee and cappuc-
cino not the UAS substitute version.”

They do serve fresh pastries such as danishes,
muffins,cake, etc. Students generally are pleased with
the choice and quality of the snacks.

Amy Rodinel and Caroline Mignot a transfer stu-
dent said the coffee house is convenient for those
who are in need of a study break.

Pipkin discusses aesthetic
aspects of SUNY campus

By ANTHONY FRANZESE
Staff Writer

John Pipkin, the Dean of Undergraduate students held a pre-
sentation Wednesday in the coffee house in Colonial Tower. on
the architecture of the University at Albany. His presentation
was being sponsored by sociology professor Robert Higgins.

Many people here at SUNYA have wondered who built this
University campus, and where it originated. There have been
rumors that the plans for this campus originated from such
places as Arizona, New Mexico, Iran, and even Pakistan. Why,
students wonder, is such a university campus designed in
Albany?

Mr. Pipkin explained the University was built on cheap land,
country club space, in the early to mid 1960’s by Edward Durall
Stone. It was quickly constructed, and in just a few years the
University’s student population swelled from just 4,00 students
to over 10,000.

He explained that the campus was built by what he called
“social engineering”, and the structure of the campus conveyed
the general motif of its inhabitants. In addition, Mr. Pipkin cited
common criticisms of the campus, that it is unsightly and sim-
plistic.

He carried on about various esoteric aspects of the University
such as the “anonymity” of the campus entrances, and its general
“stepping back from the surrounding community.” Some stu-
dents mentioned the “suicide proof’ windows of the towers and
those oddly constructed steps in the lecture center.

In short, SUNY students seemed to have come out of the pre-
sentation with a new perspective of this campus. Perhaps some
of the great mysteries of this University have finally been
answered.

Women’s tennis defends NECC title |

By CHRISTOPHER MCMAHON
Associate Sports Editor

Last season the Albany women’s tennis team was
led by a good mix of talented young players and
one very experienced and excellent senior. This sea-
son the team is a little younger, but just as talented.
The Lady Danes had struggled coming down the
stretch run, but were able to pull together and defeat
New Paltz back on October 16. This win gave
Albany an 8-4 record in the Fall season and tuned
them up for the upcoming championship.

On October 18, the Albany women’s tennis team
began defending their New England Collegiate
Conference Tournament Championship. Last year
the Lady Danes won the tournament on their home
courts. That just happened to be the same place that
this years tournament was held at.

In a tournament that took place on Friday, Satur-
day, and Sunday, the Danes racked up 40 points to
win their second straight conference championship.
Coming in second was Franklin Pierce, with 26
points. The tournament included teams such as
Sacred Heart, New Haven, New Hampshire Col-
lege, and Stony Brook.

Leading the way for the Danes were Julie Bliss
(Burnt Hills—Ballston Lake) and Mary Wood (Sch-
enectady). Each had a singles win and a doubles
win. Other singles winners for the Lady Danes
were, freshman Marci Travin and Christine Phillips.
After the smoke cleared, Albany had collected four
singles victories and two doubles championships.

Bliss, who compiled a season record of 17-5,
won her three singles matches in three sets. Along
with Travin, Bliss helped Albany to one of their two

doubles wins. Wood teamed with Phillips for the

second doubles win. This allowed Wood to become
the conference champion in doubles for the second
straight year.

Bliss, with her singles and doubles champi-
onships, and seasonal record, was named the “Play-
er of the Year” for the New England Collegiate
Conference. Coach Darcie Trapasso was very proud
of her Lady Danes, who in only two seasons in the
NECC have won two conference championships.

around the corner. Join the

3 years 8-9 million dollars. Among the possible free agents, pitch-
ers Alex Fernandez and John Smoltz top the list. Don’t expect the
Yanks to go after them either. Wetteland is a free agent, Bernie
Williams is in his final arbitration year (which means big money
even if New York doesn’t lock him up to a long term deal, which
believe me they will), Charlie Hayes, Jeff Nelson, and I believe
even Joe Girardi’s contract expires with the end of this season. -

Next year Don Mattingly plans to attempt a comeback to base-
ball. Sorry Yankee fans, but with Tino Martinez and Cecil Fielder |
we are two too many. Speaking of next year, I’m looking forward |
to inter-league play. Not only do the Yanks get a rematch with the
Atlanta Braves (I love beating this team), but they get the opportu-
nity to pummel the cross town Mets. The Mets get to play Boston
for the first time in a decade, luckily for them in Shea Stadium. I
don’t think the boys from Queens would get out of Fenway alive. I
mean, the Yanks “stole” Babe Ruth 77 years ago, the Mets took
what would have been their first World Series since 1918 just over
a decade ago. Trust me, I’ve been to Boston and I can tell you that
a Mets-hat gets you about as much attention as a Yankee cap, and
that’s not the kind of attention you’ re looking for. _

The NBA is coming, and we’re holding a pool to see how many
games it takes before John Starks starts conn about playing
time. I’ve got 27.

It’s time to concentrate on
other things besides baseball

With all the Knicks moves in

I was one of the happiest peo-
ple around when the Yankees
won the World Series. I even
felt it my obligation to take a
bus at 3:45 a.m. to watch the
ticker tape parade in Manhattan,
but we as sports fans have. very
little time to enjoy the victory.

No one in their right mind
would want to turn their atten-
tion to football with the Giants
at 3-5 and the Jets just keeping
up the J-E-T-S suck, suck, suck
tradition, but it is hockey and
basketball season.

As soon as the Yankees won I
thought,““Great! Now I can con-
centrate on why the Rangers are
” Well,
they are 1-1-1 since last Satur-
day and still have triple the
points the Islanders have been
able to muster. At this rate we’ll
should all be happy that. basket-
ball season starts today. —

All Knicks fans should be
even happier if they’ve watched
the pre-season games. Even
without Chris Childs, this team
is in the top three in the NBA.
Allan Houston is the shooting
guard. Patrick Ewing has never
had. He’s able to take players
off the dribble, create inside,
and make the three point shot
consistently. Consistency, a
word John Starks wouldn’t
know if it slapped him in the
face.

looked. The acquisition cf Buck
Williams is what puts this team
over the top. He’s Horace Grant,
but a better rebounder and
defensive player. He’s Dennis
Rodman, but a better scorer and
passer. He’s what every team
must have in order to win an
NBA Championship.

The sooner Jeff Van Gundy
realizes that Williams can do |
Oakley’s job without shooting
19-foot jump shots the better
the Knicks will be. Isn’t it amaz-
ing that the most publicized deal
in the off-season has been the
most overlooked come the
pre-season? I don’t hear any-
thing about Larry Johnson. I
guess in someways that’s pretty
good. At least he’s not com-
plaining.

The biggest and best surprise
for the Knicks so far is the play
of Charlie Ward. He’s trimmed
down and become a basketball
size point guard and is no longer
a football sized basketball play-
er. He’s made many forget
about Chris Childs and Derek
Harper already. If Ward keeps
this up he might see more action
than a Mr. Starks. I'd love to see
that.

As to my fellow writer Mr.
Smith. I'll take eleven games in
the pool that has John Starks
crying like the baby he is.

Covering University at Albany sports since 1916

Great Danes continue to win on road and at home

_ By Tomas McMaHon
Sports Editor

The University at Albany foot-
ball team finished last season
3-7. Having joined the Easten
Collegiate Athletic
Conference-Intercollegiate Foot-
ball Conference the Danes face
many of the same opponents this
season. Therefore, revenge is a
major motivating factor in many
of Albany’s games. This was the
case back on October 19 when
the Great Danes traveled to
Stony Brook.

Last season the Seawolves
handed Albany a 19 point loss
on University Field. This season
the Danes had other plans.
Albany jumped out to a 13-0
lead after three quarters of play
on touchdowns by tailback Greg
Garrett and Tight End Seth
Thomas. Seemingly in control of
the game, Albany relaxed and let
Stony Brook back in it. The Sea-
wolves rallied to pull within
13-12 with 2:59 remaining in
the game on a Bobby Kane
89-yard run. Instead of kicking
the extra point, Stony Brook
decided to go for the two-point
conversion. Albany linebacker
John Moskov made the big play
as he stopped Kane short of the

goal line to preserve the Great
Danes slim lead. —

Albany’s defense put the icing
on the cake as Matt Caliandro
forced a fumble that was picked
up and returned by Peter London
for a touchdown with 29 seconds

to play. The defensive score gave
Albany the 19-12 victory, as
they avenged last season’s loss.
The story was once again the
Albany defense. Caliandro was
selected as the ECAC-IFC Divi-
sion II Co—Defensive Player of

the Week, as he tallied eight
tackles, three sacks, a fumble
recovery and a forced fumble.
Steve Flood also had a big day
as he led the Danes with twelve
tackles.

The Great Danes have won

their first three road games for

the first time since 1987 and had
their best six-game record since
the 1979 campaign.

This past weekend Albany
hosted Gannon, a Division II

~ school located‘in Erie, Pennsyl-

vania. This was the first meeting
ever between the two teams.

The Great Danes pulled out to
an early 14—0 lead on a touch-
down run by Garrett and a
59-yard interception return by
Troy Rhett. Then the game
turned wild. Gannon got on the
board with 8:37 remaining in the
first half on a six—-yard TD pass.
Albany responded just over a
minute later on a touchdown
pass by Joe Savino to Seth
Thomas from nine yards out.

Albany increased their lead to
28-7 with 2:30 to go in the half
when Savino hit Dan Gmelin in
the endzone from 14—yards out.
On Gannon’s next play from
scrimmage, Todd Heigley hit
Lee Castana on a 74—yard bomb
for a touchdown. The

extra—point was blocked, and
Albany carried a 28-13 lead into
halftime.

Gannon opened the scoring in
the third quarter with a five play
55-yard drive to cut Albany’s
lead to seven. The Great Danes
got a 39-yard field goal from
Deron Regev,.his personal best,
to increase their lead to 31-21. A
little over three minutes later
Savino capped a six play,
54-yard drive with a 16-yard
TD pass to Mike Grever, and
Albany led by a score of 38-21.

With 10:03 to play in the
game, Moskov tackled Heigley
in the endzone for a safety that
gave Albany a 40-21 advantage.
Gannon added a late touchdown,
but it wasn’t enough as Albany
improved to 6-1 with a 40-29
win.

The Great Danes offense was
superb in this game. They
amassed 514 yards in total
offense, including 248 on the
ground, and scored 12 unan-
swered points to pull away. Savi-
no threw for 266 yards on 18-23
passes and three touchdowns.
Mike Browne rushed for a
career-high 137 yards on 18 car-
ries. Garrett added 48 yards on
22 carries and is now only four
yards away from breaking

Albany River Rats take two out of three on road trip

By JARED TROPP
_ Staff Writer

After playing three of their
first four games of the 1996-97
season in the friendly confines of

- the Knickerbocker Arena, the
Albany River Rats packed their
bags and hit the highway for a
three game road trip. Home
cooking proved to be helpful to

the Rats, as they compiled a 3-1-

overall record. Albany won their
only game away from home this
year, shutting out Hamilton 3-0
in the season opener. The River
Rats hoped to continue their
winning ways against the Provi-
dence Bruins, the Baltimore
Bandits, and the Empire State
division rival Binghamton
Rangers.

The Rats skated into Provi-
dence on Friday, October 18.
Albany outplayed the Bruins
from the drop of the puck, out-
performing them on both offense
and defense. A ferocious defense
held the Bruins to just 27 shots,
while the offense skated circles
around Providence defenders.
Steve Brule, Geordie Kinnear,
Denis Pederson, Bobby House,

and Sergei Vyshedkevich each.

found the net, while Rats net-
minder Peter Sidorkiewicz only
allowed one shot to get by him
as the River Rats emerged with a
convincing 5-1 victory.
Sidorkiewicz improved his

Tennis

record to 4—0, while Bruins
goalie Rob Tallas fell to 1-3.
The River Rats upped their sea-
son record to 4—].

Next stop on the tour was a
trip to Baltimore for a game
against the Bandits. Before the
game, Mike Dunham was sent
down from the New Jersey to get
some playing time because of
the logjam of goalies (Martin
Brodeur, Jeff Reese, and Dun-
ham) with the Devils. But, even
Dunham couldn’t prevent the
bandits from escaping with a 3-1
win as the Albany offense was
stopped cold by Baltimore goal-
tender -Mike Bales. Bales
stopped 39 of 40 shots to earn
the win, his third of the season.
Dunham fell to 0-1, making 21
saves. Despite only allowing 24
shots, the Rats record dropped to
4-2.

The River Rats finished up the
nine day, three game road trip
with a visit to the Broome Coun-
ty Arena in Binghamton. Put in
the same division for the first
time ever, the Rats and the
Rangers are sure to create a heat-
ed rivalry, just like their parent
clubs already have. Down 2-0
after one period, Albany found
the firepower necessary to score
three times in both the second
and third periods and skate away
with a 6-4 victory. Steve Sulli-
van, down on a two week condi-
tioning assignment from New

Jersey, recorded a hat-trick, his
first three goals with the Rats
this season. Rangers goalie Ken
Shepard made 39 saves, but still
was saddled with the loss. Dun-
ham evened his record at 1-1,
making 27 saves.

Notes and Quotes: Albany’s

record is now 5-2 overall (2-1 at

home, 3-1 away)...The Rats
were 5—5 at the end of October
last season...Denis Pederson was
recalled to New Jersey last
week...Dunham made his NHL
debut Tuesday night, playing the
third period in the Devils 5-2
loss to Boston. He made seven
saves on eight shots..

.Martin

Brodeur’s wife gave birth to
twins on Monday, requiring
Dunham to play backup to Jeff
Reese.

Upcoming games: Tonight, at
Hamilton; Wednesday, Novem-
ber 6, the Rats return home to
the Knick to play St. John
Flames.

River Rats face off against their new division rival, the Binghamton Rangers.
