Another One in a Series of Up and Down Years
The 1980-81 Season in Review
by Mare Haspel
Another Albany State Great
Dane athiletic year has ended, Not
surprisingly, it was a year of success
‘and failure, A year that will be
memorable for some but not so for
Others, But overall the year 1980-81
will be remembered as a pretty suc-
cessful one, ‘‘Another in a year of
successful years," according to
Albany State Athletic Director Bob
Ford,
1U’s been another very successul
season in, terms of individual and
team accomplishments,!” Ford con-
tinued,
And there were many. Though
sometimes a team’s record did not
reflect any, there Were ac-
complishments in every sport here
at Albany.
Take the Albany State yprsity

made that game even more special
‘was that Albany, the decided under-
dog in the contest, went on to
defeat the Knights in a 28-27
thriller, That certainly made the
plane ride home a little sweeter.
The season ended the next week
With Albany rolling to a 17-0 lead
over Springfield, but faltering, and
ultimately losing, 28-27, “Our
challenge, our goal will be-to win
back our respect,” said Ford,
Winning respect was not the ma-
jor concern of Albany State baskel
ball head coach Dick’Sauers, Com-
ing off a successful season which in-
cluded an appearance in the NCAA
eastern regionals the year before,
his team already had that. But very
much like the football team, the

to be considering the Danes had
received national recognition the
year before.
But this year the Danes had their
problems at the outset of the
season, If a shaky personnel situa-
tlon stemming from the graduation
‘of explosive quarterback wasn't
enough, the Danes had to face
Ithaca College in the season opener.
‘At that time Ithaca was the defen-
ding national Champs (they went to
the finals this year also but lost 10
Dayton) and top-ranked in the
country.
Albany did the best it could to
prepare for that game and produced
What was their best losing effort,
40-21. The next week was far from
their best effort, as the Danes lost
62 to Southern Connecticut.
Suffering from a losing streak
that had extended over two years at
five games, Albany got om track
beating Brockport, Fordham, then
nationally ranked Buffalo and cor-
tland in succession. Albany's
wishbone offense was clicking and
the defense was doing the job it had
to, But then came Norwich, and the
renewal of one of Division III's
fiercest rivalries, In the Vermont

had one card in his hand — ex-

four seniors.
Albany finished with twenty-
three wins — the most ever in a
Single season, against only five
losses, for an .821 winning percen-
tage; an outright SUNYAC cham-
pioship — the first for Albany, and
a third consecutive NCAA Regional
bid. Not a bad year at all,
This team played inspired ball the
entire season. They were placed in
unfortunate postions throughout
the year, but never let up, In the
opening tourney in Brockport,

Danes won including a victory over
highly ranked Upsala, Stanish was
out for the Christmas Tree Tourna-
ment in Indiana and the Danes suf-
fered a loss (0 national semifinalist

But despite problems the Danes
always found a way to come
through. And that way was mainly
by experience. The Dane poise in
tight situations was incredible,
‘Cesare proved it when he hit a re~
bound to beat Union with two
seconds left, Dieckelman showed it
by making. a desperation’ lay-up
against Binghamton to put that
game into overtime, and topped
that with @ 17-foot swish at the
buzzer to beat St, Lawrence, sen:

emplifying the meaning of poise as
he sank two pressure-packed free

SUNYAG crown.
But one team stood in this year's
team's way. The Potsdam Bears —
the eventual Division I! national
champion, The Danes had four

three of them going into overtime,

SUNYA Summer Orientation Gets Underway
by Judie Elsenberg
Do you remember the days of ice cream
socials, meetings with advisors and podium
tours that summer you came up for your
orientation session? The curiousity, the ap-
Preliension, the excitement of living at this
university for the first, brief time?
SUNYA's Summer Planning Conference
(SPC) is still in operation, handling their
first carloads of incoming students this
Week. And the ice cream socials are still the
same, although there have been some minor
alterations in the program,
Freshmen now have the option of atten-
ding either a two or three day conference,
according to SPC Assistant Coordinator
Anne Anderson, Students living far from
the Albany area can now come up on Sun-
day night, giving them an extra day to meet
people and experience SUNYA dorm life,
Before this year, Anderson said, ‘*people
who wanted to drive up early stayed on
Dutch Quad for the night. Now we take
care of them, under the direction of our
staff.”
Freshmen orientation sessions run every
Sunday to Tuesday, and Thursday to Fri-
day throughout the rest of June and July,
Wednesday is transfer day; the whole day
being devoted to advising, registering and
otherwise showing the SUNYA ropes to
those students entering this college from
various other schools. Only one day per
Week is scheduled for transfers, Anderson
said, because most do not wish to take off
the time from work or other activities

Good Day Sunshine
There’s something vey unique about summer at SUNYA, The
most noticable thing is the country club-like atmosphere by the
fountain. Sun bathers lounge on the perimeter of what seems to
be the largest body of water in Albany, The familiar scent of
Coppertone fills the air.
Frisbees whirl oyer the pool as people cool off in the spraying
waters of the fountain. And looking at this whole scene gives one
a kind of restful inner peace.
But for many there are classes to contend with. The classes,
however, have a more relaxed, laid back feeling. They may
almost seem to be a pleasant way to pick up a few credits, while
being able to podiate and getting a deep dark sun tan.
Then there are the new faces.
Who? You, with the green and white packets. You, freshper-
son, are the future and new life blood of this school. You should
be prepared for a lot of changes in your life over the next four
years.
And eventually, you will figure out how to find your way
around this concrete jungle they call SUNYA. But for now just
enjoy yourself and keep your eyes and ears receptive to the new
atmosphere around you.
This will soon be your home.
And for those of you who already call this place your home,
relax and enjoy the soothing warm weather, It is certainly one of
the nicest times of year at SUNYA and most people seem warmer
and more responsive.
In about two months fall semester will roll around again and
the dreaded Albany winter will only be a small whisper away.
And it will be a long time before we will once again feel the
vibrant sunshine,

Th “Epic Spectacles” like this one, go ex:
pecting to see a number of things:
1) Taleniless, but attractive newcomers as
the hero and heroine, Harry Hamlin, who's
‘only claim to fame Is that {ye was able to give
44-year old Ursula Andress a child, and Judi
Bowker are newcomers, and they are cer-
tainly talentless; one might even say

pressed with their fooks, but beauty, as they
say is in the eys of the "you know who."
2) Bland, cliched, silly, and often
downright bad dialogue and plotting. Bever:
ly Cross’ screenplay certainly doesn't disap-
point on this count. It has always fascinated
me how people could take relatively simple
myths and make them into confusing, boring
scripts — must be a gift from the Gods,
3) Precocious “ugly-cute" litle animals
who will draw actual applause from the pre-
pubescent tykes in the audience, Clash of
the Titans fits the bill here too with a
mechanical owl that is a blatant rip-off of
R2-D2
And finally: 4) fantastic special effects. Itis
here that Clash of the Titans fails miserably.

even the lowest budget films can look good, |
can't believe Ray Harryhausen, the director
of special effects, would allow his name to be

Itmay still be true, though, that they don't

Business Admissions to
by Ellen Epstein
The number of students admitted
to SUNYA's business school may
be limited in the future, according
to Dean of the School of Business
Haryey Kahalis,
“Enrollments probably will have
to be diminished, as the business:
faculty is finding it almost impossi-
ble’? to contend with the expanding.
number of business students,
Kahalis said, He pointed out that
even senior level business courses
now contain 50 to 60 students,
which he considers “unproductive
for education,'?
Contributing to the predicted
decline in business schoo! admis-
sions is the fact that student interest
in business has grown rapidly since
“about 1975 or six,”? said Kahalis,
while business faculty members are
“very difficult to recruit"? and very
expensive (among the highest paid
of any teachers, according to
Kahalis)
“Unless another mechanism to
get into the business school is devis-
ed’ fewer admissions, and stiffer
competition, seem inevitable,
Kahalis said, At present, he had no
other specific mechanism in mind.
Kahalis is now in the process of
preparing the enrollment plan for
this year. The requirements for ad
mission to the School of Business
vary cach year, depending on the
number of students to be accepted,
In other words, there is no set
standard for acceptance to the

past.
