Elections introduce new members Gebhardt focuses on SUNYsafety

By STEPHANIE BETH FINDLING
News Editor

Central Council elections took place on
September 19 and 20 in the Campus Cen-
ter. During this election, seats on all five
quads and off campus seats were decided.

Student Association Vice President Nir
Menachemi ran the elections and accord-
ing to his assistant and Internal Affairs

Chairperson Samantha Hiotakis, the elec-
tion went off without any problems and
Menachemi did a great job.

The results were announced at the last

Central Council cielo which took place

this past Wednesday. New members will
not be able to vote until they are sworn in
by the judicial branch of Student Associa-
tion.

The judicial branch has not yet been
selected. Judicial branch members are
selected by Student Association President
Larry Kauffman. Then, they must be inter-
viewed by the Internal Affairs Committee
and then the choice must be approved by
Central Council.

After these steps are taken, the new
members of council can be sworn in and
given voting power.

Faculty pleased with SUNYA ranking

By MAryY GAVIN
Staff Writer

Money Guide ranked SUNYA #10 in the
nation and #2 in the North East for the best
buy in higher education.

Joel Blumenthal, Associate Vice Presi-
dent of University Relations, said, “The
reason SUNYA makes it on the list is
because of the quality of education offered
at this school, and not just the low price.”

“The student/faculty ratio at SUNYA is
higher than many private colleges,” Blu-
menthal said. SUNYA students have an
advantage over a small private school.
SUNYA students “have the opportunity to
work with professors who are both teachers
and researchers in their field. Some of
them are renowned scholars who have their
books or articles published.”

Paul W. Wallace, a SUNYA Greek
Anthology professor, teaches two sopho-
more classes in the lecture centers. “My
classes have 70 to 100 students and I still
manage to have communication with
them,” Wallace said. “Large classes do not
mean professors and students cannot have
one to one contact.”

“T taught at Dartmouth, and SUNYA stu-
dents are just as good, but much less arro-
gant,” Wallace said. He continued, “The
architectural structure of SUNYA is cold,
futuristic, and lacks a sense of tradition,
but there is a lot of history within these
walls. I know many dedicated students and
professors.”

According to Blumenthal, 72% of upper
level classes at SUNYA contain 30 or less
students. This is applicable for “all sections
over all majors. Only 4.1% of all classes
contain over 100 students,” Blumenthal
said.

Lana Cable, Undergraduate Director of .

the English Department, said, “Professors
of this university are continuous learners
and producers of knowledge. Professors
are truly active in their fields. Classes are
capped at 40, so students are given a lot of
attention.”

Blumenthal said many students have
done extremely well at SUNYA. One
example he cited is Jason Roosa, a 1995
SUNYA graduate who was awarded the
Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. Blumen-
thal described it as a “very prestigious aca-
demic award.” 2

Money Magazine said it ranked SUNYA™

#10 because “SUNYA is not (an) over-
whelmingly large for a state school (11,346
undergraduates). The public administration
and political science departments have also
gained national recognition.”

North said SUNYA has unlimited oppor-
tunities available. “The New York State
Writer’s Institute, located in the Humani-
ties building, has a national reputation in
writing. It matches any institute in the

world. They bring in writers such as Andy

Rooney,” North said.

Money Magazine described Albany as “a
terrific college town.” Dr. Carlucci, Vice
President of Finance is responsible for
improving the social life at SUNYA.

This semester movie channel was imple-
mented in the dorm rooms, and the bus ser-
vice has finally integrated with CDTA.

Since SUNYA has been ranked by
Money Magazine in the top 20 for the past
six years, according to Blumenthal, appli-
cants for the current school year rose by
11.2%. 2
’ The quality of education at SUNYA is
strong but “the budget is a challenge facing
the University and the state,” Blumenthal
said.

As the new Director of Personal Safety
and Off-Campus Affairs, Tom Gebhardt
stresses empowering student awareness
on personal safety as to help minimize
steps to becoming possible crime vic-
tims. He said listening to students is a
priority.

Gebhardt said he was keeping all of
the previous safety programs available to
students and said all of those programs
would constantly be evaluated, reviewed,
and possibly expanded in the future. He
also mentioned he would be looking at
how other campuses run their student
safety programs for new ideas and Lee
grams.

This year, Gebhardt implemented a —

new program called ADAP, the Albany
Disabled Alert Program. In this program,
fifty specially-made personal alert
devices are available to students, faculty,
and professional staff members who are
not able to use the Whistle Watch Pro-
gram.

These PAAL II personal attack alarms
can be activated by pulling the pin con-
nected to a strap and clip out of the
alarm. This alarm can also be used as a
flashlight by pushing the button on its

side and can be attached to a belt, purse,
clothing, or wheelchair. They are free of
charge and are available at the Disabled
Student Services office in CC 137.

Aside from the new program, Geb-
hardt said there has been talk about
installing a card system in the residential
housing areas so information will be
available as to whom and when a person
walked into the dorm building. Also, he
mentioned the idea of a universal
SUNYA card that would incorporate a
student’s meal, residence, and identifica-
tion card into one.

The Don’t Walk Alone program,
which began on September 27, is a stu-
dent volunteer escort service. When
asked how to encourage more students to
volunteer, or hire a certain amount of
students, Gebhardt said that due to lack
of funds, hiring students would be diffi-
cult, but that some students will get cred-
it.

There are self-defense classes offered
on campus. For those who cannot fit one
into their schedule, one-day self-defense
workshops are available to any students
who are interested. (Call Diane Cardone
at 442-5415). Gebhardt also referred to
the Student Patrol as the “eyes and ears
of the University Police. Department”
who patrol the podium and quads. For
those who live downtown, there is also a
student volunteer Walk and Watch pro-
gram in the Pine Hills and Beverwyck
neighborhoods run by the Albany Police
Department. (Call Fred Alberti at 462-
8033 to volunteer).

There are also approximately 180 blue -

light emergency phones in the parking
lots on campus and yellow light emer-
gency phones around the Alumni Quad
area. Over 8,000 whistles have been dis-
tributed and 3,000 are on order. The Lite
Sense Flashlight program is still in effect
and 600 will be distributed this semester.

As the Director of Personal Safety and

also the Chair of the Residential Life

Committee, Gebhardt’s main agenda is
to empower the students and to work

together with them as a community. He -

said anyone who has a problem or a sug-
gestion should see their resident hall
directors or go to their quad office. Any-
one is welcome to call*him personally
and is very open to student suggestions.
Gebhardt is located in CC 110 at 442-
5886.

Court freezes SA budget

September 22, 1970
By Ira Wolfman

‘ALL STUDENT ASSOCIA-
TION GROUPS’ BUDGETS
ARE FROZEN.’ Those words,
in a memorandum from SA Pres-
ident Dave Neufeld to all Stu-
dent Association groups last
Thursday, signalled the latest-
and most dramatic-outcome of a
nearly year-long controversy
over the use of mandatory tax
fees.

After months of debate over
the propriety of the use of tax
money for supposedly “partisan
groups,” Ken Stringer, a senior
here, initiated a Civil Court case
against the University and the
Student Association in an
attempt to either eliminate the
mandatory tax or get specific
guidelines prescribing expendi-
tures. The recent budget freeze
comes as a result of that court
case, via a decision handed down
by Justice Harold Koreman of
the New York State Supreme
Court last Thursday. :

As a result of that decision, al
SA groups have been prohibitid
from spending any money which
derives from mandatory tax
until, in the words of Koreman’s
decision, the receive the “deter-
mination and approval of the
trustees as to whether they are
educational, cultural, recreation-
al, or soca in See

funds collettee an the Ai
tory tax. Koreman’s decision was
based on the fact that, since the
Board of Trustees had actually
become the enforcing agency for
collecting of the tax, it still
retained responsibility for use of
the funds. “In view of the
requirement for payment of the
activities fee before a student
may be registered, and the fact
that grades and transcripts may
be withheld for failure to pay, the
TRUSTEES have effectively
established a mandatory activi-
ties fee.” (emphasis added)

not be said,” Koreman’s decision
goes on, “that the officials of the
University have no voice or con-
trol over the appropriations or
expenditures of the fund (Note:
this point may have been made
by the defense, in stating that SA
had always been autonomous in
dealing with funds) since appro-
priations may be made by the
students only for the purposes
permitted by the Trustees.” In
this conclusion, Koreman states
that “since the responsibility of
administration and supervision in
this area rests with the Trustees,
appropriations or expenditures
may not be made without the
approval of the Trustees as to

the purpose for such appropria- —

tions and expenditures.”

The entire question of who
shall control the disbursement of
student funds is an extremely
touchy one. By revoking SA’s
autonomy, the court decision
may have opened the doors to
censorship and regulation of nec-
essarily independent student
organizations. It is mainly for
this reason that SA is going to
appeal the decision, and it is for
this reason that the case is being
followed with great interest
across the state.

soon as it is possible by SA’s
lawyers; the court to which the
appeal now goes is the New
York State Appeals Court, the
highest state court. No action can
be taken, however, until Justice
Koreman releases his “judge-
ment”, a document which
instructs all parties as to the final
effects of the decision. The

sometime this week.

In the interim, a meeting of
the SUNY Board of Trustees is
scheduled for tomorrow in New
York City. It is expected a tem-
porary solution will be worked
out there which will at least
enable the SA groups currently
cut off from funds to function
once more.

Multitude of groups participate in annual group haar day

By Nea. BUCCINO
Staff Writer

The reception held last
Wednesday following Group
Fair Day allowed student group

leaders to socialize and celebrate _

a successful advertising opportu-
nity for the University’s many
co-curricular organizations.
Christian Schieder spent part
of the day dressed as a rabbit,
wagging hi tail and hopping on
behalf of his group, Students for
the Ethical Treatment of Ani-
mals. He was encouraging stu-
dents to sign up to attend SETA’s
weekly meeting. He was also
handing out “cruelty free tooth-
paste and flyers which talk about
[the] Gillette [company]’s unnec-
essary use of animal testing
when there are less cruel and
more accurate ways to test cos-
metic products.” While relaxing
and eating with fellow SETA
members in the SA lounge, he
says that he received a “good
impression” from the Group Fair
Day, and that is group Ss mission

was communicated to those stu-
dents who wouldn’t ordinarily
attend meetings.

The Charles Drew Science
Club for Students of Color was
represented in part by Rachelle
Rene and Ben Rodriguez, its
president and vice-president.
The club reached out to crowd
made up of all types of students,
“not just those of color, and we
had a couple of people signing
up,” says Rene. The club pre-
pares students for the medical
profession and medical school
by holding “medical confer-
ences, and teaching students
about the application process, the
financial aid process,” she says.
Rodriguez says that the best
aspects of status as a peer group
for students of color who want to
pursue a career in medicine.
“People give us the run around,”
he said, “they said we’re not
gonna make it, but we can.”

She feels that “everybody knows
about China and Japan and India;
now the smaller [Asian and
Pacific] countries are making
themselves recognized. It’s
important.” Liga is instrumental
in representing Filipinos to the
student body and in letting its
members, even those “Ameri-
canized,” as McCarthy Cerrito
says, learn about their culture.
“We do workshops: language,
cooking, costumes, games. It’s
also cool as just a way to meet
people you’d see on campus but
not necessarily talk to,” she says.

Torossian calls for higher
identity awareness in Jews

By SUSAN CRAINE
Editor in Chief

Ronn Torossian, the national
spokesperson for the Coalition

for Jewish Concerns (CJC), .~

spoke Thursday in the Campus
Center. Torossian called for Jew-
ish students at SUNYA to
become more concerned with
national issues directly con-
cerned with Jewish identity.

Torossian emphasized Zion- |

ism, which is the philosophy of

those who believe Jews should ©

have a separate homeland, as
well as an increase in Jewish
activism.

He said, “Jews are so involved
with the suffering of Bosnians,
the pro-abortion and anti—abor-
tion movements, and so many
issues. It is time for Jews to
become concerned with Jewish
issues such as fighting for Israel,
fighting against anti-semitism,

- and fighting for raising Jewish

moral consciousness.”

Torossian cited personal expe-
riences as showing it is possible
for students to make a differ-
ence.

“The apathy of students is
killing the Jewish people...It is
possible to make a difference if
one is willing to sacrifice,”
Torossian said. ;

Torossian was recently arrest-
ed for blocking 42nd street and
2nd avenue in New York City.
He helped lead a protest against
the Israeli government for giving
concessions to Arab govern-
ments, despite an Aug 21 bomb-
ing which killed 5 Jews.

Torossian was also arrested for

disrupting Republican presiden-
tial candidate Pat Buchanan’s
nomination speech, and disrupt-
ing the ceremonies for the Nobel
Peace Prize in Norway.

The CJC is planning a protest
in Washington on Oct. 16 in
response to march being planned
by Minister Louis Farakhan call-
ing for 1 million African—Ameri-
cans to march on Washington,
calling for concessions for the
mistreatment of African—Ameri-
cans in the United States.

“Farakhan is a dangerous man,
and a known anti—semite...We
must confront anti-semitism
peacefully, but forcefully. We
must let the world know that
Jews will never be silent again.”

Torossian ended his speech by
stating, “There is so much more
to the SUNY experience than
playing SEGA, drinking, and
dating. You need to become
involved in Jewish issues.”

Central Council Chairman Mike Castrilli and Vice Chair Eric Brielmann

By STEPHANIE BETH FINDLING
News Editor

SA President Larry Kauffman
brought to the attention of
Central Council Wed a confiden-
tial memorandum sent to Vice
President Nir Menachemi from
Central Council Chairman
Michael Castrilli.

The memo was sent to the
Menachemi in regards to “fla-
grant violations of Transport-
ation Policy 850.0” by Kauff-
man. The memo requested

Menachemi to “revoke all driv-
ing and van usage privileges by
the Student- Association
President, Larry Kauffman.”

There were three incidents list-
ed in the memo which violated
policy. The first violation
occurred the weekend before the
meeting, in which Colonial Quad
Board, a group which formally
requested van usage received the
van an hour after the requested
time.

When Kauffman arrived with
the van, it was reported it con-

tained eight bags of Kauffman’s
personal possessions in it. These
bags had to be removed and
stored and the seats which had
been removed needed to be put
back in.

In response to this incident,
Kauffman stated, “I went to the
Hillel Cruise. Hillel needed to
use this van...” Kauffman said
after the cruise, Hillel needed to
drive people home and then
Kauffman went to sleep. “I went
to sleep for what I was hoping to

be only an hour. It turned out to

be an hour and a half and I was
running late the next day,”
Kauffman said.

Kauffman explained the eight
bags of personal possessions by
saying, “You guys can’t imagine
what I’ve sacrificed to become
President and to remain
President. It’s no excuse for hav-
ing my personal items in the van,
as I was moving my stuff from
my apartment, which I have been
evicted from, for failure to pay

Warriors on
Wheels at SUNYA

By Marcy NOEL

The Warriors on Wheels pro-
gram is a new program de-
signed to aid individuals with
disabilities to become stronger,
healthier and more dependent.
The program is held on
Wednesdays from 10-12 PM
and on Saturdays from 10:10-
12PM at the RACC. The pro-
gram was founded by Ned
Norton.

There are over 300 students
with disabilities’ here at
SUNYA. Mr. Norton said this
is one of his reasons for choos-
ing to conduct the program here
at SUNYA. Norton said, “The
decision to be physically fit
knows no boundaries no age
and no disability.”

According to Norton, indi-
viduals in the Warriors on
Wheels program set goals and
train hard to achieve these
goals. The training program
begins with stretching, which
provides flexibility that is
important for maintaining mus-
cle balance and functionality as
well as mobility and prepares
the warriors physically and
mentally for their work out.
Working on the chest muscles
is important for propelling the
wheelchair.

According to Norton, the ver-
tical press is used from the
wheelchair for building back
muscles power hooks and rope
pulls are used. The shoulder
muscles are important in the
everyday life of a wheelchair
owner, it keeps the shoulder
muscles balance.and provide
stability.

This is achieved by using the
dumbells.. Building the biceps
and triceps muscles aid individ-
uals with upper arm and grip
development and is important
in transferring and propelling
the wheelchair. Working the
abdominal plays an important
part in balance deficiency,

Depression screening to be held in Campus Center for students

Depression is a disturbance in
a mood characterized by varying
degrees of sadness, disappoint-
ment, loneliness, hopelessness,
self-doubt, and guilt. Most peo-
ple tend to feel depressed at one
time or another, but some people

withdrawing from their daily
routine and/or outside world.

The symptoms of depression ,

are as follows:

* changes in feelings or percp-
tions as evidenced by:

- crying spells or, at the other
extreme, lack of emotional
response

-inability to find pleasure in
anything

-feelings of hopelessness. and/or
worthlessness

-exaggerated sense of guilt or
self-blame

-loss of warm feelings toward
family and friends

changes in behavior and atti-
tudes as evidenced by:

-loss of interest in activities
which previously were enjoyed
and a general withdrawal from
others

-loss of interest in appearance
and responsibilities

-irritability and complaints
about matters which were previ-
ously taken in stride

-general dissatisfaction about
life

-Impaired memory, inability to
concentrate, indecisiveness and
confusion

-reduced ability to cope on a
daily basis and phvsical com-
plaints as evidenced by:

rlack of energy and chronic
fatigue .

-loss of appetite or, at the other
extreme, excessive overeating

-disturbance in usual sleeping
patterns (insomnia, early morn-
ing wakefulness, or excessive
sleeping) ©

-unexplained headaches, back-
aches and similar complaints

-problems with digestion
including stomach pains, nausea,
indigestion, and/or change in
bowel habits

Depression can be the result of
any number of circumstances,
including but not limited to per-
sonality, environmental, or bio-
chemical factors. Shortages or
chemical imbalances in the brain
created by illness, infections,
certain medications or drugs,
improper diet or nutrition may
play a significant role in some
cases of depression. When the
source of the depression is obvi-
ous and the person knows where
it is coming from, the individual
can expect the depression to
level off and eventually fade
away after a reasonable amount

of time. The problem is when the
depressed person is unaware of
the source of such feelings. This
can lead to further depression
because the person is unable to
understand it and, therefore, feels
a loss of control. Identifying the
source and understanding the
causes of physical and psycho-
logical stress is a major step in
learning to cope with depression.

Perhaps it is your relationship
with a family member or friend,

_a financial problem, or a school

related incident. Discussing
problems with the people in-
volved or with a supportive
friend can sometimes help to

Different levels of ope

Becoming open with others
can be a difficult task which
requires some time and patience.
Talking about yourself and your
inner feelings can be uncomfort-
able at first, and it should be
practiced with discretion, how-
ever, openness can be a truly
positive experience.

There are different levels of
openness with others, ranging
from superficial
discussions about
“Melrose Place” to
deeper, more per-
sonal discussions
about feelings and
ideas. The more
deeply you discuss your feelings
with another person, the more
you let him or her know about

Middle
Earth
Roots

you. Being open requires hon-
esty, which means that there is
congruence between what you
are saying and what you are
feeling.

Being open also requires trust;
when you let a person know

‘what is going on in your life,

you become vulnerable. You
may have to do some “editing”
of how much you talk about
yourself and to whom. People
can take advantage of your vul-
nerability or may even become
uncomfortable if they feel you
have disclosed too much.

Being open is a responsibility
and may not be appropriate for
everyone in every situation. It is
important to think about how
another person might react to the

information you intend to give
him or her. Try to be sensitive to
the feelings of the other person
before you say what you might
be thinking.

Being open means being
receptive to the opinions and
communications of «ther people
as well. It requires good listen-
ing skills to hear what people are
telling you about their feelings.
Effective listening can build a
mutual trust in your relationship.

The most important way in
which you might be more open
with others is to be as honest as
possible about your feelings.
Many times, one feeling may be
disguising another sentiment
that is hidden at a deeper level.
Being open will help bring hid-
den feelings to the surface.

Two students killed in alcohol related incidents the same night

(CPS) For 19-year-old Matt Ga-
rofalo, Big Brother Night was
supposed to be among the first of
many parties at the University of
Iowa fraternity he had recently
pledged.

It was the night when Lambda
Chi Alpha told new members
which older ones would act as
their “big brothers,” the guys
who would guide pledges
through their first year in the
house.

“The big brothers were getting
the little brothers totally smash-
ed,” Kelly Hirsch, a Northwest-
ern University student who
attended the Sept. 7 party at the
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity,
told “The Daily Iowan.”

But what was supposed to be
a celebration, a new beginning,
for Garofalo and other members
by morning had turned tragic.
Garofalo was found dead by his
fraternity brothers—a victim of
acute alcohol intoxication.

That same night, members of
Northern Illinois University’s
Sigma Chi fraternity decided to
celebrate after an initiation cere-
mony of their new members.

“They apparently had partici-
pated in a formal initiation and
then later headed to a field to
take part in an informal fraterni-
ty ritual under the stars,” says
Melanie Magara, NIU’s Director
of Public Affairs.

At 3:30 am, Michael G. Simp-
kins, a NIU junior, was killed
when the car in which he was a
passenger went off the road, into
a culvert and flipped. Simpkins
was thrown from the car and
died a few hours later at the hos-
pital. It was just two days before
his 20th birthday.

The driver of the car, a 21-
year-old Sigma Chi member, has
been charged with two counts of
felony DUI.

By chance, the death of both
students occurred the day before
Harvard University’s School of
Public Health and Social Behav-
ior announced that fraternity and
sorority members drink more
heavily and frequently than non-
Greeks, according to its nation-
wide survey.

The survey of more than
17,500 students at 140 colleges
and universities showed that 86
percent of men and 80 percent of
women living in fraternities and
sororities are binge drinkers.
(Binge drinking is defined as
consuming five consecutive
drinks for men, or four for
women, one or more times dur-
ing a two-week period.)

These numbers are nearly dou-
ble those of the overall student
population, where 44 percent
report binge drinking.

incidents of unprotected sex,
violence, hazing, date rape and
even death. The same Harvard
study calls binge drinking “the
No. I public health hazard and
primary source of preventable
morbidity and mortality” for col-
lege students.

The death of the two fraternity
students, both on the same night
and in separate incidents, served
as a grim reinforcement to the
Harvard study. The deaths are
being investigated, and the uni-

versities have suspended both

fraternities pending the results.
In Garofalo’s case, toxicology
tests indicate he had “acute alco-
holic intoxication,” with a blood
alcohol level of .188, nearly
twice the legal limit for driving
while under the influence.
Unfortunately, these tragedies
are just the latest in a long list of
similar episodes. “It happens all
over the country,” says Wechsler.
“These incidents are.really
regrettable . . . they are the unin-
tentional result of alcohol

“Ninety-eight percent of haz-
ing incidents or pre-initiation
activities involve alcohol,” says
Eileen Stevens, founder of the
Committee to Halt Useless Col-
lege Killings (CHUCK). Stev-
ens’ son, Chuck, was killed in
1978 during an Alfred Universi-
ty fraternity hazing. He was
locked in a car’s trunk and was
told he must drink a large
amount of bourbon, wine and
beer before being released. He
died and several other pledges
were hospitalized in alcoholic
comas.

Many national fraternities and
sororities are cracking down and
would prefer their chapters go
alcohol-free. The National Inter-
fraternity Conference (NIC),
with 5,500 fraternity chapters,
has developed risk-management
programs and moved to a non-

alcoholic rush. They also are

encouraging the growth of sub-
stance-free housing.

Newspaper dumping thief apprehended

(CPS)-—Giovanella saw his name in the
University of Texas newspaper, he
decided to take the story and run with
it, literally.

Hurrying to various spots on campus
on early Aug. 31, Giovanella stole
5,800 copies of The Daily Texan and
dumped them in a recycling bin at a
nearby shopping center. Giovanella
took the papers after reading about his
arrest for writing a bad check and forg-
ing a letter of recommendation to the
“university.

After being confronted by UT cam-
pus police six days later, Giovanella
confessed to the thefts, saying he stole
the papers “in retaliation for the article
_ The Daily Texan printed.”

Giovanella was charged with a Class
A misdemeanor. If found guilty, he

could face a 12-month prison sentence
and a $4,000 fine.

Police Capt. Silas Griggs said
Giovanella, who is not a student at the
school, was an immediate suspect
because police looked over the Aug. 31
edition to see if a particular person
might have been embarrassed by any
of the articles “and his name jumped
out at us.”

Griggs also said that several Daily
Texan vendors saw Giovanella driving
a black Pord Explorer on campus while
dropping off their papers.

Giovanella was arrested for the bad
check after police learned of his falsi-
fied admissions material.

He is accused of sending UT officials
a letter of recommendation from the
dean of the Texas A&M College of

Natural Sciences, which does not exist.
(The school has a College of Sciences.)

As UT police were questioning
Giovanella on the forgery charges, they
discovered an outstanding warrant for
his arrest on charges of a forged check.

Saying the newspaper’s staff was
“hurt, dismayed and furious” over the
theft in an editorial, Robert Rogers, the
Daily’s editor, said the paper was plan-
ning on pressing criminal charges and
filing a civil lawsuit against Giovanella
for financial losses as well as “the

- emotional distress of the staff, and

everything else cur lawyers can find.”
Rogers went on to state that the Daily
Texan staff will seek punitive damages
and. will pursue disciplinary action
through the university for any student
who steals future copies of the paper.

Americorps defended
on its first anniversary

(CPS)Lawmakers this week marked the first
anniversary of the AmeriCorps program, one day
after some in Congress took steps to make it the
last. :

_ The National Service program, which has put
20,000 students to work in more than 350 pro-
grams nationwide, celebrated its first birthday
Sept. 12, one day after a Senate appropriations
subcommittee voted to eliminate it.

. Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., chairman of the
appropriations subcommittee, and other
Republicans said the $472 million program costs
too much. Bond said he had to sacrifice it in order
to fully fund community development block grants
to cities.

Using a budget report from the General
Accounting Office as ammunition, Sen. Charles
Grassley (R-Iowa) attacked AmeriCorps, claiming
the costs to the taxpayers is too high. “When com-
pared to other proven programs, both public and
private, AmeriCorps is by far the most expensive
and least effective way to achieve its goals,”
Grassley said.

The House voted earlier this year to throw out
the program.

“We can only regard this action as a triumph of
politics over principle,” said Eli J. Segali, president
of the Corporation for National Service, which
oversees the federal program. “National service
will not be eliminated. Simply put, local programs
are too good; local communities know and appre-
ciate it.”

Segali and some members of Congress said they
are not ready to give up the fight. They banded
together with AmeriCorps members and support-
ers at a Se~pt. 12 rally.

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) said she is ready
“to arm-wrestle and arm-twist anyone” to preserve
AmeriCorps. Mikulski, the ranking Democrat on
the Senate Appropriations subcommittee, said she
voted against the appropriations bill because it did
not include funding for national service.

“There is a repeated attack taking place on
opporiunities for young people. It’s happening in
student loans. It’s happening in public: education.
And it’s happening in national service,” Mikulski
said at the rally. “I believe that we are a nation that
believes in opportunities for our young people. If
young people want to work hard and play by the
rules, they should be rewarded with real opportu-
nities.”

AmeriCorps pays its 20,000 students a stipend
and a grant for education in exchange for one
year’s service on community projects. President
Clinton began the national service program soon
after he took office in January 1993.

Clinton expressed his support for the
AmeriCorps program at a speech at Southern
Illinois University in mid-September.
“AmeriCorps is giving thousands and thousands of
young people the chance to earn and save up
money for college while serving their communi-
ties,” Clinton said.

In Washington a few days later, the president
criticized Republican efforts to cut the program,

_ |saying that the benefits greatly outweighed the

costs. “This is a tiny, tiny budget item that does an
enormous amount of good,” Clinton said, adding
that each federal dollar invested in AmeriCorps
returns $1.60 to $2.60 in benefits.

But many Congressional Republicans disagree
that AmeriCorps’ benefits outweigh its costs.
According to the report by the General Accounting
Office—the government’s independent auditing
agency, AmeriCorps was spending the equivalent
of $26,654 per volunteer per year, 92 percent of
which was funded by taxpayers.

During the past year, AmeriCorp members have
built homes, closed down crack houses, helped
fight forest fires in Idaho and assisted flood vic-
tims. Brent Bloom, 23, has helped victims of the
Oklahoma City bombing in his hometown. Donna
Shocke, a 28-year-old from Simpson County, Ky.,
earned her GED while teaching children in her
town how to read.

Rusty Stahl, a sophomore at George Washington
University in Washington, said the $4,000 stipend
and 78m _ additional scholarship money.he gets
from working on the Neighbor’s Project has made
him more independent. Twenty-one other students
at George Washington participate in the project,
which supports social agencies in a low-income
neighborhood in Washington.

“Anyone looking at this logically and with any
decency would realize this is not a lot of new
bureaucracy,” said Stahl.

Public universities sufering nation wide due to budget cuts

(CPS) State governments are
seeing extra dollar signs in their
bank accounts lately, but they are
not sharing as much of that
wealth with their public universi-
ties.

Although state spending on
higher education has steadied
nationwide, other state ser-
vices—mostly Medicaid and the
prison system—are benefiting
more from the states’ recent rev-
enue upswings, according to the
annual report by the American
Association of State Colleges
and Universities (AASCU).

Public university officials
worry that a predicted downturn
in state economies and the
decreased attention to the univer-
sities could threaten financial
aid, tuition costs and overall
access to a college degree, the
AASCU report states.

States have thin safety nets for
reserves, and even those experi-
encing good times this year
could take a downturn as early as
next year, which Federal Reserve
Chairman Alan Greenspan and
other economists have forecast.

Coupled with increases in
enrollment over the next 15
years and an average tuition
increase of 3 percent to 6 percent
a year, the trend toward less
state-support troubles public uni-
versities, which get about half
their funding from the states.
“Are they going to provide more
funds, or are we going to limit
access?” said John Hammang,
AASCU’s state and campus rela-
tions director. “It potentially
could mean not very good things
for the higher education estab-
lishments.”

States now are more fiscally
sound than in recent years, with
an average 4.9 percent increase
in their budgets. State spending
on higher education has
Increased by 4.2 percent—a
“respectable rise” according to
the report, “but still troublesome
when shown against the back-
drop of declining state support
for higher education.”

“So much of the state budgets
are beyond (politicians’ con-
trol),” Paul Rahmeier, associate
vice chancellor for instruction at
the University of Massachusetts-
Lowell, said in an interview.
“Higher education is one (expen-
diture) they’ve been able to cut
without being politically pun-
ished.”

Nationwide, state grant aid to
students increased by an average
of 12.6 percent from 1992-93 to
1993-94, but the increases were
uneven across the states. Five
states averaged increases of 17
percent or more while all other
states averaged 5.1 percent,
according to the AASCU.

Among the annual report’s
other findings:
¢ The average undergraduate cost
of tuition and fees at a public
institution was $2,590 for the fall
of 1994. This is a 6.1 percent rise
' from the previous year.
¢ Room and board charges
increased 3.6 percent from fall
1993 to fall 1994.
¢ States awarded nearly $3 bil-
lion in aid last year, at an average
of $963 a student.

AASCU President James B.
Appleberry interviewed legisla-
tors nationwide and said they
generally agree that a college
degree benefits the individual
more than the public. Politicians
said they feel the “user,” or the
student, then, should pay more of
the cost of that education and not

rely as much on financial aid.
And by cutting back the amount
of money funding colleges, they
can “avoid the ire of the taxpay-
er,” he said.

“TI would say. in recent years
there’s been a move in the public

attitude,” Rahmeier added.
“Higher education was seen as a
public good, but now it’s more
likely to be seen as a private
good. Some people think this is
extremely short-sighted.”

What this means for students is

that they may face the greatest
threat ever to earning their col-
lege degree, Appleberry said.
They are more dependent on
student loans, which have obsta-
cles of their own to hurdle in
Congress. They are more likely

to work longer hours, which also
jeopardizes a quick graduation.

COLUMN

The main public. leaders of the National
Women’s Rights Organizing Coalition and the Rev-
olutionary Workers League at the SUNY Albany
campus, Sarah Warden and Caroline Wong,
announced our withdrawal from school in a letter
submitted to the ASP at the same time as this one.
_| We are leaving SUNY Albany in order to be part of
some of the most important struggles taking place
in the U.S. today — most importantly the struggle

Warden and Wong

Woe ifs DISMISSED

to defend affirmative action taking place in Califor-
nia. We are leaving to be part of a struggle to
reverse the University of California Regents’ over-
turning of affirmative action in the U.C. system.
We therefore cannot leave this student body that we
fought together with for so long without making
clear the attacks that are being waged against affir-
mative action at SUNY Albany itself. .

The current S.A. President Larry Kauffman made
a statement at a summer planning conference held
by the Student Association of the State University
(SASU) that he planned to raise a proposal for the
Student Association of SUNY Albany to pull out of
SASU. He raised this proposal because, he said,
“white men were being discriminated against by
SASU.” THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!

SASU is the state wide organization of students
of which all students in the SUNY system are con-
sidered members. It is the only state wide student
union. Perhaps Kauffman has forgotten the lesson
learned last semester about just how important a
student union is?

The real issue here of course is not whether or
not S.A. is going to be part of a state wide student
organization. The very arguments that Kauffman is
using are the arguments being used nationally
against affirmative action. What Kauffman is
attempting to do is figure out just how far he can go
in making his own attacks on affirmative action,
first in SASU and then in S.A. He is trying to see
where the student body of SUNY Albany is in the
national debate around affirmative action so that he
can know what position it would be expedient for
him to take if, in the near future, the central admin-
istration of the SUNY system begins it’s own
attacks on affirmative action programs. Kauffman
is also, presumably, attempting to carve out a name
for himself in local party politics by inserting him-
self into a nationally important debate.

Whatever Kauffman’s motivations are in making
this attack, all black and other minorities, women,
and anti-racist students should take this opportunity
to begin our fight now for affirmative action.

Anti-racist students and student organizations
should attend the next Central Council meeting,
held every Wednesday at 7:30pm in the Campus
Center room 375, and demand that Kauffman
retract this proposal.

If Kauffman does not retract this proposal, a ref-
erendum vote of the student body should be held to
prevent any decision from being made to pull S.A.
out of SASU. No S.A. President should have, now
or in the future, the unilateral power to make a
decision like this. On the same referendum, stu-
dents should vote to express their opinion on affir-
mative action, making clear the link between the
national attacks on affirmative action and the cur-
rent attempt to pull S.A. out of SASU. This vote
would also make clear the overwhelming support

Death and Dismemberment - Good OI’ Family Values

It looks like Time—Warner is starting to strain under the
pressure it’s been receiving to be more careful with what
they produce. There is a firm belief that the entertainment
industry is slowly turning us into maniacal killers.

This criticism stems from a speech Republican majority
leader Bob Dole made in the summer which attacked the
entertainment industry, especially Time—Warner. In the
speech, Dole categorized several albums, films, and T.V.
shows as being “anti-family” and the chief cause of why
the world today is horrible.

First, when Dole made the speech he stated that many of
the things he was criticizing he had never seen or heard.
Although it is not unusual for political leaders to make a
speech without writing the speech, it’s generally a good idea
to do some research before bashing something. However,
Dole must have thought this was unnecessary because he
has been blessed by God with the divine knowledge of what
is good and what is bad. I think we would all like some of
the drugs Bob is on.

While Dole deemed such movies as Natural Born Killers
and True Romance as contributors to the decay of society,
he did state the Schwartzengger movie True Lies is a “fami-
ly orientated movie.” Okay let’s forget about the several
people he maims and kills throughout the movie who all
happen to be of Arabic descent, how about what he does to
Jamie Lee Curtis, who plays his wife in the movie? '

First, he illegally takes an F.B.I. helicopter and topples
over the trailer she’s in because he thinks she's about to

have an affair. Then he throws a bag over her head and
takes her in for questioning under the pretense that she is
helping a spy. Arnold then sticks her in a room and con-
vinces her that if she doesn’t help him, she will end up in
prison or dead. Then he gives her an assignment that forces
her to pretend that she is a prostitute, and Jamie Lee is
forced to do some serious sexy pole dancing. Bob says this
abuse is okay because the interaction is between a husband
and wife. Bob is definitely already showing signs of senility
because there are very few women in this day and age who
would see this treatment as being all fine and dandy and
reaffirming good old fashioned “family values.”

The real scary thing about Dole’s speech is the affect it is
having on other leaders and the public. All of a sudden
everyone is on the “Hollywood is evil” bandwagon and has
forgotten the positive things entertainment has done. With-
out the entertainment industry, there would be no such thing
as public T.V. which teaches many children to read and
speak, but the Republicans don’t think about that when they
bash the industry because they know the public will listen to
them blindly. Are there problems with the entertainment
industry? Of course, there are problems with everything in
our society. However, it is unfair to say that one part is
entirely to blame for the problems which exist in our soci-
ety. That simply is not how things work.

Tomorrow, the White House will be the site of the sec-
ond IsraeH-PLO signing ceremony in two years. The
choice of venue is fitting although not for the reasons
President Bill Clinton has in mind, namely lending U.S.
prestige to the event and reflecting politically useful
credit on his administration. Rather, the Washington set-
ting is appropriate because the United States, although
ELL ATE TEL Tee LT IS MO LN EN

Frank J. Gaffney Jr.

not a party to the so-called “Oslo II’’ accords, will
nonetheless bear some of the most serious repercussions
of their predictable failure.

These repercussions will likely arise in three areas.
-The first and most strategically portentous will be the
implications for the United States of Israel surrendering
land essential to the Jewish state’s defense. If, as a result,
Israel’s domestic security situation becomes more shaky,
Israel will be far less able to serve as a bulwark for the
West against radical Islam and other threats to American
interests in the region. et Lee

Prime. Minister Yitzhak Rabin seeks to allay such con-
cerns in the wake of the accords by promising that Israel

will maintain a presence in the strategic Jordan River
valley and provide protection for settlements built on
key pieces of real estate in the West Bank. Unfortunate-
ly, such promises are unlikely to be kept. The Rabin gov-
ernment already has indicated its desire to liquidate
some settlements. And, despite the new “bypass”’ roads
and Israeli patrols instituted to promote the settlers’ safe-
ty, even the most stalwart of them may feel compelled to
abandon the vital passes, crossroads, watersheds and
high ground on which their homes have typically been
situated.

Such a trend will only be exacerbated when PLO
Chairman Yasser Arafat declares the newly relinquished
territory a sovereign Palestinian state. The fences Rabin
proposes to build between Israel and its new neighbor
probably will not prevent terrorists from attacking the
Jewish state. Certainly, these barriers will not afford the

geographical protection or the assured access to vital

water resources that Israel has enjoyed since it took con-
trol of the West Bank in 1967.

It is, of course, up to the democratically elected gov-
ernment of Israel to decide whether to take such risks.
No. one should be under any illusion, however: If. the

farm,” U.S. interests currently served by a strong, self-
reliant, and reliable Israeli ally in the Mideast will also
be adversely affected.

The second area of concern about the accords involves
the commitment of U.S. taxpayer dollars to induce the
PLO to reach an agreement with Israel. So far, more than
$500 million has been pledged, and well more than $100
million has already gone out the door.

Such American largesse is simply outrageous, given
the mounting and persuasive evidence. that international
aid flowing to Arafat’s organizations is finding its way
into his personal bank accounts - or those of his cronies.
Some of it is old-fashioned corruption; some of it is to
advance the PLO’s political agenda. As recently as last
Wednesday, Arafat affirmed to the Al Ahram News
Agency the malevolent nature of that agenda.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Arafat said his
agreements with the Israelis followed “the blueprint of
the 1974 PLO plan of phases.”’ That plan called for the
destruction of Israel as a second phase, to follow the ini-

tial establishment of Palestinian sovereignty over territo-
ries obtained from Israel through negotiation.

ASPing For Trouble

You know, you see a few low budget, foreign, or independent
movies and all of a sudden you get this reputation for being
Mr. Anti-Hollywood establishment. I mean, if one more person
says to me “You saw Angus and Showgirls?” I'll kill ‘em. I'm
entitled aren’t I?

No, I didn’t go home this weekend for the holidays, not that
my mother treated me like I was pulling the plug on her life
support system or anything for it. In fact I had a very ‘80s kind
of weekend.

Earlier this summer I went to see Clueless (yes, Clueless. Not
Kids or II Postino—-The Postman, good old, Hollywood, Clueless)
and during the previews before the movie, Love Spit Love's
“Am I Wrong” was playing as scenes about some fat kid who
makes a heroic attempt to become cool and win the heart of the
cute cheerleader came on. My friend and I allowed ourselves to
be totally manipulated by the geeky clips and wonderfully
cheesy song, and we looked at each other and simultaneously
knew we would have to see this. When you grow up on Ducky
(Jon Cryer) from Pretty In Pink, Lucas (Corey Haim) in Lucas,
and Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) from The Breakfast Club,
geeks trying to overcome their afflictions hold a special place in
your heart.

SO we saw a and loved it. It’s the kind of movie you tell
your friends you’ve seen because there was nothing else on TV
except “some dumb movie on USA,” but you secretly find
yourself getting into it, hoping the jock will get his ass kicked
and the Molly Ringwald character will come to her senses and —
love the hero, glasses, pudginess, or stutter, and all. Unless of
course, you were the asshole jock/popular guy who liked
making the awkward kid feel like dirt, hanging them up by
their underwear in the gym and whatnot.

Personally, my sister says I always brought home the
“retards” (can’t say I get my PC sensabilities from her), the kids
that no one else would be friends with, that I felt bad for. So

maybe I’m just a sucker for the Le ae which brings me to
“my next film.

So kill me, I saw Showgirls. I haven’t seen a boobie movie
since Peter Annis showed me and my friends Porky’s at his fifth
grade sleep over. When it was clear the only saving grace of
Showgirls would be a whole lot of gratuitous nudity, my
inclination towards films like The Piano, Gas, Food, Lodging, and
Howard's End fled like a Gin Blossoms fan at a Slayer concert.

‘Don’t get the wrong, idea, I respect women, I listen to Liz Phair,

I read Anne Tyler, but hey, I’ve got balls and sometimes they
send messages to the brain too powerful to ignore.

And speaking of the ‘80s, it was after all Jesse playing the
underdog, Nomi. I was curious to see Ricky Schroeder all
grown up in Lonesome Dove, or Tempest Bledsoe all grown on
her new talk show, and so I was curious to see what one of the
Saved By The Bell kids was up to (lapdancing, as it turns out). It
seems Jesse left Zach and A.C. Slater behind and went more the
Dana Plato (Kimberly of Diffrent Strokes) in Playboy or Nicole
Eggert (Jamie of Charles In Charge) in Blown Away route.

Of course the movie was terrible (sample line: “What's wrong
with your nipples?” “Nothing.” “Why aren’t they standing
up?”), but with the right friend it’s kind of a male-bonding,
heterosexual affirmation thing. I don’t claim to be a fully
evolved sensitive man, I can only try and maybe root for Alanis
Morissette when she yelps how she hopes her ex feels her nails

~ down his back. Yeah! Men bad! How’s that?

As the weekend ended I felt all nostalgic for the time when
my best friend and I rented only the movies with an R rating in
hopes of seeing some nudity. When the possibility raised by
afterschool specials, that a nerd could tell all the popular kids
that their hero was a fake and they would applaud and have a
new genuine leader, seemed real. But something about
cheering for a fat kid and watching 100 minutes of bare breasts
with your best friend, it kind of makes you whole again.

naked for a high class audience. There
are some scary moral choices which
Nomi aspires to. Perhaps the most |
prophetic line of the movie comes @
when James (Glenn Plummer), an
acquaintance of Nomi’s, asks “Why |
do you want to dance in the casino? |
At the Cheetah Club, you’re at least
honest about what you do. You dance
naked and whore dance yourself
while you lap dance. At the casino,
you dance for people and still whore
yourself out, only now it’s called art.”

Throughout the movie, dancing is
subtly, as well as blatantly, equated
with sex. This is an important
backdrop because dancing is also
depicted as violent. Dancers never
smile, their movements, their faces,
seem as violent as the dancing. This is
perhaps the greatest injustice of the
movie-using the dance to equate sex
to violence.

Although ee Tarantino lost out
big time to the Forrest Guiip team at the
Oscars this year, Pulp Fiction did the job
of bringing him out of the realm of cult
writer/director (and sometimes actor)
and into the spotlight, as proven by the
posters of his films currently being
snatched up on this very campus.

Although it won honors for best film
at Cannes, it seemed unlikely that
Tarantino’s nihilist, non-linear film
would amass the kind of wide-ranging
audience which flocked to it. The fact
that actors like John Travolta and Bruce

Two Hours Of Gore In Seven |Unstrung Heros Unnerving

Brad Pitt &
Morgan Freeman 8"

David Fincher’s latest film, Seven,
details, in the starkest of fashions, two
homicide detectives tracking down a
sadistic criminal masquerading as a
self-appointed avenger of evil. In the
most gruesome manner, John Doe has
tediously strung together a handful of
murders, each representing one of the
seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, sloth,
pride, lust, envy, and wrath.

Ann Shaughnessey

At the onset of the film the viewer is
introduced to Lt. William Somerset, a
veteran homicide detective harboring
serious delusions about the effectiveness
of his work on the force. Academy Award
nominee Morgan Freeman, cast as the
aging crime fighter, performs like a
seasoned pro. Lt. Somerset is within a
week of retirement when he is paired off
with a young upstart detective, David
Mills, played by a recently shorn Brad
Pitt.

The two detectives have precious little
time to spare on each other when they are
called to a crime scene in an old decrepit
apartment building. Mills and Somerset
dutifully comb the scene and follow up
the investigation with the coroner,
unaware of the deadly hand they have
been dealt. The storyline is pushed into
full throttle when Mills is called to the
next crime scene, a plush law office,
diametrically opposed to the squalor of

the first scene. Somerset, following a
hunch, unearths the link between the two
crimes.

Freeman and Pitt’s characters are
different in their modus operandi, with
Somerset taking the intellectual high
road, scouring the library for literary
clues to the identity of the diabolical
killer, as Mills jumps from car to car and
tumbles down fire escapes. The bridge
between the two distinct personalities is
provided by Mills’ wife, Tracey (Gwyneth
Paltrow). By helping the detectives
connect, she forges a bond crucial to the
plot of the story.

David Fincher, whose previous
directorial efforts include the marginal
Alien3, does not rely on an aesthetically
pleasing set, as the use of limited light is
critical to convey the doom and gloom of
the story. The plot, coupled with the
dramatic cinematography, is unrelenting
in that it emits a constant air of
apprehension that does not dissipate
even when the climax has played out, or
for that matter, long after.

The end result of Seven is unorthodox
and unnatural, even for the most cynical
at heart. Fincher and writer Andrew
Kevin Walker choose a most macabye
way to explore the subject matter at hand
and as a result, even the most iron-clad of
stomachs will be challenged.
Nonetheless, Seven is a film which
requires an audience willing to check all
delusions of grandeur at the box office.

You would figure with Michael

§ Richards (Seinfeld’s Kramer) acting

and Diane Keaton, known for
many comedic roles including
Annie Hall, directing the resulting
film ‘would be well, funny.
However, Keaton must. be
suffering from the need to be
depressed because with her
feature film directorial debut,
Unstrung Heroes, Keaton has
managed to make one of the most
depressing movies in recent
history.

Susan Craine

The two stars of the movie are
Andie MacDowell (Selma) and

John Turturro (Sidney), who play ©

the parents of 13 year old Stephen
(Nathan Watt). From the
beginning of the film it is clear that
MacDowell’s character holds the
film together. Selma is constantly
helping to bridge the gap between
Sid, who is as Selma describes
him, “a genius from another
planet,” and Stephen who
cannot understand why his
father is so emotionally
distant. The only thing}
which bind father and son}
together is their complet
devotion to Selma.

However, tragedy strikes}
the family when Selma}
develops cancer and caring
for Stephen and his sister
Sandy falls to Sid. Stephen, }
unable to deal with his}
father runs away to livef
with uncles Danny}
(Richards) and Arthurf
(Maury Chaykin), whof
seriously believe the world]
is out to get them. This is}
really the only place where]
humor shows up in the film, |
but even that is touched}
with melancholy because}
the film seems to be poking |
fun at people who are}
socially unable to fit in the
world.

Although top billing does not
fall to Watt, he really is the focus of
the film, and shows a very good
emotional range for a child actor.
Turturro once again shows what a
damn good actor he is as Sid. He
easily displays to the audience the
panic Sid feels trying to assume a
role that he has never had to play
for before. MacDowell as well
gives a credible performance
probably due to the fact that she
has kids of her own, and like all
mothers has imagined what would
have to be done if she knew that
she wasn’t going to be there.

Richards however doesn’t really
do much with his character. It
seemed that all he did was give
Kramer a serious side. However,
Chaykin as the kinder uncle,
makes it much easier to like this
eccentric man.

If you are looking for a comedy,
Unstrung Heroes is definitely not
the movie to go see, but if you are
looking for a movie that will make
you cry, you’ve hit the jackpot.

(James McMurtry’s Fine Body

James McMurtry sings and
twangs his way through thirteen
heartfelt songs about the human
mind and heart, as well as the emo-
tions contained therein on his third
album Where'd You Hide the Body
(Columbia). From the first beat in
“Iolanthe” to the last strum in
“Right Here Now,” James
McMurtry does an excellent job of

seducing the listener and making
him or her want to continue listen-

ing.

Andrew Purrot

With lyrics like “don’t sweat the
losses, let ’em go. Toss ’em out
where the tall grass grows,” and
“You look across the table with
those guilty eyes so many mornings
now, I shouldn’t be surprised when
you lash out on me,” one can real-
ize how in touch McMurtry is with
human feelings

James also shows that he is a con-
sistent songwriter as well as a profi-
cient one, having already released
two albums (Too long in the
Wasteland and Candyland) Where'd
You Hide the Body, is soft and simple
and a pleasure to listen to.

“James writes like he’s lived a
lifetime,” said John Mellencamp,

who produced McMurtry’s debut
album in 1989. He has the voice of
an Indian chief in the body of a folk
singer. His talent at songwriting is
equaled by his ability to play an
accomplished folk guitar.. He uses
all that is available to him, especial-
ly on “Fuller Brush Man” where
James trades in his acoustic guitar
for an electric guitar and a
wah-wah pedal. Of course, he has
been singing and playing songs for
close to thirty years and is also the
1987 winner of the New Folk song
writing contest held annually in
Kerrville, Texas (with previous win-
ners being the likes of Nanci

Griffith and Lyle Lovett), there is.

something genuine about
McMurtry’s affinity for writing that
is unsurpassed in Folk music today.
_ One would assume that with such
an innate inclination to write songs,
it would be easy to do so, but James
doesn’t think so. “Writing is hard
and tedious, it’s not the fun part.
It’s what you do so you can do the
other,” says McMurtry.

Where’d You Hide the Body is a
must buy for anyone who enjoys
music and the simple, ordinary
aspects of it. There is a lot to offer a
listener on this album, plus it is a

body. “It’s simple,” says James,
“the body is hidden in the heart.”

Blind Melons
Wretched Soup

(CPS) Blind Melon, so the
argument goes, never had any
talent to squander. All they had
was “No Rain,” a song that
sounded a bit too much like the
hippie side of Jane’s Addiction.

Blind Melon has since attract-
ed the scorn of those who are
unhappy with the way that
alternative music has become
today’s mainstream pop.

In this case, the ridicule is
warranted. Blind Melon is an
appallingly unoriginal band,
and Soup (Capitol) is one of the
most painful listening experi-
ences produced by a
major-label band this year.

These guys still borrow from
Jane’s more chaotic moments,
especially on the single
“Galaxie.” They toss in some
kazoo, flute and banjo sounds,
for no apparent reason other
than to prove that they can be
utterly tuneless on any number
of instruments.

Topping it all off is the
screeching wail of lead singer
Shannon Hoon; clearly, this is a
man who is destined to spend
the rest of his life fronting a
Rush cover band-too bad
they’re not Mute Melon.

those bands you don’t realize how
good they are until their live perfor-
mance. The hits just kept coming and
coming.

Jim: Buffalo Tom has the unique abil-
ity to rock out really loud, while
keeping the music pretty and the har-
monies beautiful. Bill Janovitz has an
amazing voice (lead vocal/guitar)
and Chris Colbourn supports him
really well. Although last Sunday,
surprisingly, they did not seem as
tight as they might have been.

Toby: Yeah, they kind of fucked up.

| “Birdbrain” and “Kitchen Door.” On

the other hand, seeing them live gave
me a new appreciation for songs like
“Treehouse,” which was much better
than the version on Big Red Letter
Day. “Summer” from Sleepy Eyed was
much better than the recorded ver-
sion as well.

Jim: I don’t know about you, but I
felt like smacking every member of

«the audience that cheered for “Larry”

as a closer for the encore instead of
“Velvet Roof.” Granted, “Larry” was
on the set list, but when Bill took a
vote (sort of), I had a glimmer of
hope that I would hear my favorite
B.T. tune.

Toby: I was bummed as well that
they didn’t play “Velvet Roof.” That’s
one of my favorites and would have
been a great closing number, but (and

‘Fig Dish Often San Green

Fig Dish’s That’s What Love
Songs Often Do (A&M) has a
hard edged rockish sound of
the Goo Goo Dolls, with a lead

angrier version of Lemonheads

however, is more peppy than
the Goos and it’s upbeat sound
even reminds one of Green
Day at times.

musical genius but because
“Wrong Nothing” lives up to
it’s name and is really about
nothing. “Something’s wrong,
there’s nothing wrong,” are
basically the only, lyrics in the
song. Supposedly the content
is about a relationship that’s
lasted too long but this is never
explained or even mentioned
in another way besides the two
sentences used in the song.
The lyrics are monotones
and the effort altogether

Fig Dish is a Chicago four
man band named after a
German swear “Fick Dich”
which the band heard after
playing at a German-
American restaurant. The band
has only been together since
1992 and was signed by Atlas
within the three years of their
existence.

After hearing the album a
few times I found it listenable:
Although you may not find a
single song to stand out from
the rest, you won’t become
bored with this album.

The sixth track on the album,
however sets itself apart from
the other songs. Not for any

sounds as though the band]

needed a space-filler on the
album. In response to this, Fig
Dish strung together two dif-
ferent sentences, repeated
them a few times, and then
added a couple of guitar
chords. :

Fig Dish still has that “local
band” quality, lacking the
smooth sound of a veteran
band. That’s What Love Songs
Often Do is not bad for a first
album, but that’s exactly what
it is: a first album. With a little
work Fig Dish’s slightly edgy
sound could easily be polished

up.

Eleven! gh Lens 9 A Fine “Thunk

As a refreshing change from the
usual alterna-pop scene, Eleven will
leave you wanting more. On their
‘third release Thunk (Hollywood), the
L.A. based trio displays their versatili-
ty with styles ranging from unplugged
acoustical jams to powerful gothic
metal.

John Scanlon

This ability to play a broad range of
genres derives from the fact that
Natasha Schneider (organ, bass,
vocals) was trained classically and
Alain Johannes (guitar, vocals) resided
in places like Switzerland, Mexico, and
California, picking up the various cul-
tures.Johannes says that he likes to
stretch his ears with music such as

classical Indian, Bulgarian and jazz -

then stirs it into Eleven’s style.
Eleven’s vocal harmonies are among
the best in the business. Johannes and
Schneider trade places as lead vocalist
to break up#the usual monotony of
having only one singer. If you enjoy
the work of Layne Staley from Alice in

Chains, there’s a good chance that +
you'll equally enjoy Eleven’s musical

talent.
Johannes might conjure up images

of John Popper (Blues
Traveler) in a more alterna-
tive setting. Natasha
Schneider’s organ will occa-
sionally have you feel like
you're in a church mosh-pit
while Johannes’ guitar riffs
exhibit some similaritv to
Aunt Betsy’s cat being run
over by the lawnmower. In
the rhythm department, Jack
Irons (who recently left
Eleven for Pear! Jam) pounds
on seven of the tracks.
Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron
lends a hand on the other four
tracks with his usual flair.

The album begins with an
@almost tribal rhythm on
“Nature Wants to Kill Me,”
which creates an image of
inner demons. A carnival-like
melody opens “Coming Down” which
then progresses ino a Zepplinesque
guitar-line which would make Jimmy
Page proud.

Many of the songs on Thunk convey
a message of bitterness and broken
relationships while others like
“Tomorrow Speaks” look forward to
better answers.

Eleven’s best attribute is their ability
to deliver powerful, catchy riffs with
the added bonus of outstanding vocals
(largely due to Shneiders’ raspy soul-
ful voice). For anyone who liked the
groups’ previous efforts Thunk is a
must have.

Through whispering winds a young frog was heard
As he perched upon his lime colored pad
His sounds as calming as a mockingbird
But his melodious tunes were quite sad
True love was gone and his heart filled with pain
He would never lay his eyes on her again
As her body layed still on the cold paved lane
A Hyundai took away his one true friend
His life felt over he was going insane
Growing old together was Calvin’s dream
But an old frog he’d grow without Lorraine
His days spent alone on their special stream
Other female frogs he might come across
But Calvin would never forget his loss

Restaurant Re

The best kept secret in Albany resides
on 258 Lark Street. The Lionheart Blues
Cafe, the brainchild of Jerry Aumand and
Eric Schilling, opened for’business about
three years ago. They modeled the cafe
after the style of the old English pubs, and
threw in a few twists of their own. The
Lionheart became the first non-smoking
tavern on the East Coast. The semi-
traditional American menu is spiced up
with ecclectic dishes. And on any given
night, either music or darts may fill the
air.

Lucifer N. Jones

The Lionheart Blues Cafe serves lunch
Tuesday through Saturday and dinner
seven days a week. Sandwiches range
from the traditional burger (the Black
Friar) to the famous Lionheart special, the
Dober Coast (a Thai seasoned chicken
breast sandwich topped with fresh bacon
and hot pepper cheese). Dinner entrees
also offer something for everyone. My
favorite is the Parliament Pasta (chicken

breast, fresh pasta.and vegetables oozing

with Jamaican jerk seasoning). For those
who prefer a quieter entree, a good bet is
the Lionheart Cordon Bleu. Whether your
taste buds prefer the more traditional
cuisine or the spicier side, your
pocketbook will definitely like this cafe.
Sandwiches run about $6.00 and entrees
$8.00. 3

How about a little music with your
dinner? Here’s where the “Blues” comes
in. The Lionheart offers live music
Wednesday through Saturday nights.
Although the majority of the talent
highlighted at the cafe hails from the local
scene, Blues legends such as Honeyboy
Edwards have graced the Lionheart with a
few of their tunes. A cover charge of three
dollars is collected only on Saturda
nights. Chances are you'll catch Ernie
Williams and the Wildcats there. The
Lionheart doesn’t stop with the Blues. On
any. given night, one might come down
and catch the likes of Micheal Eck doing
his “MTV Unplugged” acoustic thing, or
walk in on a set of rockabilly. There’s
some sort of a constant here. The music is
as ecclectic as the food.

So what do they do on Sunday nights at
the Lionheart? They congregate for the

- Sunday Night Mug Club. With a twenty

dollar club membership, you recieve a
personalized, engraved twenty ounce
mug of your very own. This is your ticket
to a taste test to remember. For two dollars
a mug, you can taste your way through
the sixteen microbrews on tap that the
Lionheart has to offer every Sunday.
Manager Seth Powell may even get you to
test your prowess with the darts. The
Lionheart also hails a dart league.

_ The next time you head up Lark Street,
stop by the Lionheart Blues Cafe. But
don’t keep the secret all to yourself. After
all, secrets are only fun when you pass
them on. Share this experience with a
friend.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

tortured by. his wooden teeth, never said

Presidential
Scholars

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to the article
entitled, “Presidential scholars put into
Ten Eyck Hall by elitist policies.” This
article appeared in the September 19,
1995 issue of the ASP and I have a few
problems with it.

First, and foremost, it is one of the most
misleading examples of journalism Ihave
ever witnessed. While my hall—mates and
I were being interviewed, we were told
that this article would be about the presi-
dential scholars of Ten Eyck Hall. This
would have been a fine topic for an article
and thus we were all amiable and
answered the interviewers questions can-
didly and with honesty. We all anxiously
awaited the publishing of this article, but
to my personal horror, the article became
a piece geared toward labeling us as fas-
cist elitists. Even the name of the article
was inflammatory. Apparently, in the

ASP’s infinite wisdom, it turned a human

interest piece into an article of slanderous
scandal.

The only section that showed our more
human side was the brief paragraph about
our friends Robin O’Connell and Debbie
Lee. There was no mention of how we
stay up late (past about 2am, sometimes
till 4 am) on school nights talking in our
lounge. There was nothing about our
unusual closeness. I think we are a more
tight-knit hall than one I have ever seen,
we laugh and joke with our R.A.’s.
Apparently this doesn’t mean much to the

ASP. :
In my opinion we are not elitists, just

college students trying to make our way
through this fine university. One thing
you forgot to mention is that we did not
choose to be in this program, we were
chosen. If anyone has any problems with
the Presidential Scholars program, keep
that in mind. Can’t we all just get along?
Next time, go to Fulton for an interview.
Jordan H. Bennet

Funky Bill

To the Editor:

As we all learned many years ago in
school, those who ignore history are
doomed to, well, bring up the subject of
funk. Not funky chicken and not funky
Broadway. But actual, downs in-the-
dumps funk.

We’re talking about our president, of
course. Except he’s not just our president
anymore. He’s Bill “Sir Funk-A-Lot’’
Clinton. (Watch for him in Part 8 of the
PBS “Rock & Roll’’ retrospective.)

In an interview on Air Force One the
other day, Clinton said -.and I’m not sure
whether he had backup singers - that
among his many duties as president, he
was “trying to get people out of their
funk.’’ He made no mention, though, of
funkadelia.

My immediate response was, of course:
boom shakalakalaka, boom shakalakala-
ka.

I thought that might do it. In the Newt
Gingrich era of politics, the American
people generally pay no attention whatso-
ever to what Clinton says. He could say -
and this is just a hypothetical - that Pat
Buchanan looks like a toad and not a sin-
gle head would turn.

But this is different. At a time when our
nation is preoccupied by closing argu-
ments in the O.J. Simpson case and, inci-
dentally, the complete reversal of the New
Deal, Clinton says the word “funk’’ and
it’s prime-time news.

The reason is clear to even the casual
student of politics. When you say “funk,”’
you might as well say “malaise.’’ And, so
far, every president who has almost said
“malaise’’ has very quickly become an
ex-president.

You could look it up.

For example, according to his biogra-
phers, George Washington, even when

either “‘malaise’’ or “funk.”’

Ronald Reagan, our only two-term
president since the ‘50s, was so wary of
“malaise,’’ he would never even say a
word that started with the letter “m,’’
except of course “Mommy.”’

This is the lesson of Jimmy Carter, of

course, who gave the infamous “malaise’’

speech, in which he never actually used
the word “malaise’’ (I think he said
“bummed’’) but you got the idea. All it
did was cost him the presidency. It was

under consideration in the Senate as part
of a budget deal, charities could be pro-
hibited from spending more than 5 per-
cent of their total annual budgets on polit-
ical advocacy.

The message? If you publish, you
perish. And the implications get worse
than that: Political advocacy, as broadly
defined by the legislation, doesn’t just
mean lobbying, but also includes nearly
any activity that may influence public pol-
icy in any way - even if it’s done with pri-
vately raised dollars. The legislation, in

that and the hostages and the attack of the
killer rabbit.

You’d think Clinton would know bet-
ter. And yet, there he was, decrying
America’s funk quotient. This is inordi-
nately brave of our president, who was
trying to say that people should be happy
with the job he’s doing. But, to tell you
the truth, I’m not sure we are in a funk.

Yes, there are some things to be down-
in-the-mouth about. The Baltimore Ori-
oles season. Ross Perot’s return to poli-
tics. Kato’s acting career.

But funk?

The last time I was into funk was with

‘the Grand Funk Railroad (now known,

officially, as Amtrak). We came to your
town. We helped you party it down.

But that was the ‘70s. When we were
funky, but not funk-y.

We were basically mentally and emo-

tionally exhausted (the only possible

explanation, by the way, for disco) from
the ‘60s and Vietnam and Watergate and
the Partridge Family.

We elected Carter because he seemed
so calm, although not quite as calm as

Gerald Ford, who seemed possibly

stuffed.

One “malaise’’ speech, and he was

gone. (Or so we thought. The truth is, it is.

impossible to be rid of Jimmy Carter.
When he wasn’t monitoring elections in
Guatemala or building houses for the
poor, he was writing a children’s book,
illustrated by the long-lost Amy. The
book, just out, is called “The Little Baby
SnoogleFleejer.’’ To borrow a line from
Dorothy Parker, who was never afraid, by
the way, to say “malaise,’’ the title alone
makes this tontstant weader want to fwow
up.)

I can’t see Clinton writing children’s
books after his presidency, any more than
I can see him lusting only in his heart.
But, if you look closely, you can see him
in full retreat.

No sooner had he uttered the f-word
and Bob Dole had said, “Hey, I don’t
know about you, pal, but I’m happy,’’
than the spin meisters had the president
working on an explanation.

“T feel very optimistic about the coun-
try,’ Clinton said the very next day. He
couldn’t be happier, he said. The Ameri-
can people couldn’t be happier, he said.

And that’s with a Republican Congress, |

too.
And besides that, he said, “malaise’’
and “funk’’ aren’t exactly the same thing.
“Malaise,’’ he said, “is a state of mind.
Funk is something you can bounce out

of.”’
Or, with the right beat, dance to.

Congress Gags
Nonprofits

To the Editor:

If some members of Congress get their
way, nonprofit organizations across the
nation could be stifled from publishing an
opinion piece-such as this. Under a mea-
sure passed by the House in July and

NEA qa. asec ia aes eatouieas IH?

“We're talking about our president, of course.

Except he’s not just our president anymore.
| He’ s Bill “Sir Funk-A-Lot” Clinton.”

Mike Littwin

fact, named for its sponsor, Rep. Ernest
Istook, R-Okla., is part of a larger effort
to gag nonprofits and should be renamed
the “Silence America Amendment.”’

Under the measure, any group that
receives even a dollar of federal funding
would be required to file an annual report
detailing any activity that may have influ-
enced any decision by any branch of
local, state or federal government, includ-
ing school boards and zoning boards.
Nonprofits that exceed their annual 5 per-
cent threshold during a five-year period
could no longer receive federal support of
any kind.

And if spending questions arise, the
charity has the difficult burden of Borne
that it didn’t exceed the limits.

Supporters of the amendment point to
large nonprofits like the American Asso-
ciation of Retired Persons and beam with
pride as they outline their efforts to “de-
fund the left.’’ But this measure would
severely stifle and gag all charitable orga-
nizations, regardless of the populations
they serve, the philosophies they hold or
the size of their budgets.

_ Sure, it would include my own orga-
nization, LIAAC, the Long Island Associ-
ation for Aids Care, as well as Planned
Parenthood, Gay Men’s Health Crisis, and
Greenpeace; but it would also cover the
better-known Red Cross, American Can-
cer Society, Girl Scouts, and YMCA.

Further, the proposed legislation
would severely restrict our constitutional
rights to meet with lawmakers, testify at
public hearings, issue position papers, call
news conferences, publish editorials, and
hold rallies.

We could no longer participate in reg-
ulatory proceedings or litigation in which
local, state or federal government was a
party; even fighting for our own Punating
would be restricted.

In essence, the rule would silence the
struggling voices of millions of Ameri-
cans represented by community organiza-
tions, while allowing high-powered cor-
porate lobbyists to retain their strangle-
hold in the public policy arena.

. Certainly, forcing taxpayers to foot
the bill for lobbying campaigns they don’t
support is wrong, but this is already ille-
gal; and close scrutiny from the Internal
Revenue Service ensures full compliance.
The federal money nonprofits receive, in
contrast, is spent on concrete services,
like day care, counseling, food programs,
health care, social services, education, and
housing.

Government has urged nonprofits to
provide these services, and countless law-
makers have recently stressed the need for

charities to fill the gaps that seem to’

widen with each new day of budget .cuts
and so-called “reform’’ measures.

Driven by the devastating suffering -

and unmet needs in our communities,
many agencies use private funds to push
for social change and give voice to those
seldom heard in the marble corridors of
Albany or Washington. To simply provide
services day after day while turning a

blind eye to the need for larger reforms ©

that would enhance American lives and
maximize taxpayer investments is to fail

miserably in our mission. And, while we

wee 1 ei,

SS, o~

cringe at the prospect of losing sorely
needed ‘federal dollars, our voices are not

for sale.
To silence nonprofits is to silence

America. For hundreds of years, it has
been community-based nonprofits that
have helped bridge the glaring gap
between our poorest populations and
those entrusted by the electorate to make
decisions on their behalf. This is as cen-
tral to American democracy as the funda-
mental premise that the truth emerges
only out of spirited debate. As today’s
lawmakers wrestle with critical issues,
they shouldn’t fear public input; they
should embrace it - unless of course,
they’ re afraid of the truth.

Affirmative
Action

Continued from page 10
for affirmative action that, we believe,
exists at SUNY Albany. Organizing for
this vote could begin the process of build-
ing up a campaign in defense of affirma-
tive action in admissions and hiring pro-
cedures which are likely to come under
attack at this university as they have at
California Universities.

A campaign of mass militant demon-
strations in defense of affirmative action,
independent of the SUNYA/SUNY
administrations and the Democratic and
Republican Parties, is the only method
that has proven able to defeat any of the
attacks that have taken place on_affirma-

tive action.
‘In closing, Kauffman should remember

that he was elected by a student body
looking for a leader in the fight against
last years’ budget with it’s attacks on
affirmative action. By proposing to pull
S.A. out of S.A.S.U., he only weakens
S.A. and strengthens the hand of those
reactionary forces that want to overturn
affirmative action. He made many claims
to being a leader of students last semester
and he was the only non-right wing candi- ~
date who ran for S.A. President (other
than Sarah Warden) last semester. That
was why students voted for him.

Wong /NWROC and RWL

Accord

Continued from page 10

The third source of repercussions arises
from the United States’ bowing to the
Israeli desire for peace with the PLO and
in the process subordinating its policy on
those, like Arafat, who encourage terror-
ism. In just the past few weeks, two
Americans were killed and a pregnant
American woman lost her child in terror-
ist attacks in Israel. Yet Arafat has contin-
ued to tell his people in Arabic that such
murderous attacks are the work of “heroes
and martyrs’’ engaged in a “jihad (holy
war) of battles and of death.”’

These newest casualties join a long list
of U.S. victims of PLO terrorism for
whom there must be accountability and
punishment of the perpetrators, not legiti-
mation and diplomatic, financial or other
rewards.

In short, the costs of the champagne
and caviar sure to be consumed at tomor-
row’s White House signing ceremony are
only the beginning of the high price
Americans will be asked to bear for the
latest Rabin-Arafat accord. Quite apart
from concerns about what an unsustain-
able peace agreement will mean for Israel,
it is entirely reasonable to ask: How many
more of these ominous accords can the
United States and its vital interests afford?

| am coming down with something
that reminds me of the flu. | got the
flu four times in one year a couple of
years ago when | had to teach a
bunch of brats how to make a pic-
ture frame or a decoupage box.
They would come into class cough-
ing all over me and thinking it was
so fucking cute. Yeah, | thought it
was so cute when | was puking my
brains out with some kind of stom-
ach flu. Well, | think | got this current
illness from my friend and her suite-
mates who have walking pneumo-
nia. So I'm sniffling and nauseated
and cold and then suddenly hot.
There! There! | just sneezed! You
see. | hate being sick. If | were a
leper during the middle ages now, |
would have to dress in rags and
carry a bell, ringing it all the time to
warn all the towns people that you
were bringing your illness into town.
Maybe I'll do that now, you know,
dress in rags and go around yelling,
“I’m sick! Come near me and suffer
an appendage-falling miserable
death!” Since I'm a girl, | would drive
people away, but if | were a guy,
women would flock towards me
gushing with sympathy. Girls are so
weird. Why do they open up their
mouths when they put on mascara?
Ugh, | sound like Andy Rooney. This
is 60 minutes. Good nite.

To “The Girls”-

Thanks for all the good times that
we’ve had. Hope that this friendship

Clinton addresses
Financial Aid concerns:

(CPS) During a round table discussion with college
students at Southern Illinois University, President
Clinton defended the direct loan program, suggest-
ing Republican efforts to cut it were a result of
direct pressure from the banking industry.

“This was a major part of my administration’s
economic proposal in 1993, and we got it through.
And ever since then it’s been under assault by the
bankers who made the money under the old loan
program” said Clinton.

“Tt’s ttue that they’re worse off. I mean, they lost
a lot of business,” he added. “But the students are
better off; the administrators are better off; the Fed-
eral Treasury’s better off; and the country’s better
off because now we’re going to have more people
borrowing money and going to school.”

The direct loan program allows students to bor-
row money directly from the federal government,
which streamlines the loan process by eliminating a
third-party borrowing institution, say its propo-
nents.

During their discussion with Clinton, 11 students
from schools across the Midwest discussed their
experiences with the loan process and related their
concerns about student aid.

After showing the president a folder containing
several educational loan applications, Noemi
Rivera Morales, a graduate student at Indiana Uni-
versity, told him that the direct loan application—a
one-page document—made the process easier than
ever.

Despite Republican claims that the direct student
loan program will drive banks out of
the student loan business, Clinton said
that private lending institutions have
actually become more efficient. since
the direct loan program was created
three years ago.

“My goal always was to set up a
competition where people could
choose a direct loan because of its
obvious strengths, where the other
lenders would have to do more to try
and compete,” said Clinton. “My goal
is to have 100 percent of an option
open for the students, colleges, and
universities of this country.”

Michelle Birch, a University of Illi-
nois student, told Clinton how. she left
the welfare rolls in an attempt to get
her education. Birch said she’s been
frustrated, however, by the difficulty
of obtaining student aid. “If I want a
welfare check, I can walk down there
and have one in three days,” Birch
said. “Yet I have to keep fighting to
improve myself. It blows my mind
because all I want to do is be a better
person. I just want to go to school.”

After the discussion, the 11 students
seemed grateful for their chance to
speak with the president. “It makes
you feel good to take your most seri-
Ous issues right to the top,” said Mary
Armstrong, an Eastern Illinois Univer-
sity student. “The president was very
receptive to our ideas, and I got the
impression that he was willing to fight
the good fight for us.”

William Karrow said he was taken
off the list of students for the discus-
sion earlier in the week because he
had questions which were critical of
the direct loan program. “They com-
pletely censored me,” said Karrow,
who said he was a “dedicated Repub-
lican.” “They wanted students who
would go up there and agree with
everything the president said.”

Karrow, who held a press confgg-
ence before the discussion.took place,
said he had trouble with his direct stu-
dent loans and wanted Clinton to
know about it.

. White House press secretary Mike
McCurry denied Karrow’s accusa-
tions. “We had a lot of students that
wanted to be in on the discussion,” he
said. “And of course those. that didn’t :
get on might be a little disappointed.
But there really wasn’t some unseen
force at work here. This is just one of
the many students who wasn’t select-
ed.

(CPS)-The gates of Memorial
Stadium have closed to Herbie
Husker.

But Sister Grace Irene Mars-
hall and the sweet sound of a
holyorder have joined in the cho-
rus rallying to save him.

It is the hope of -Sister
Marshall and the other nums of
the Contemplative Sisters of the
Good Shepherd that Herbie be
reinstated as the mascot of the
Nebraska Cornhuskers.

The nuns have been sewing
Herbie windsocks for the past
Six years as one of the many
money—making activities to sup-
port the order.

Sister Marshall said Herbie
was the only “civilized” college
mascot.

“He’s the only one we don’t
have to go behind-and pick up
after,” she said.

Most of the ire for banishing
‘the 21-year-old mascot has been
hurled at NU Athletic Director
Bill Byrne. Sister Marshall said
it was inappropriate for a
non—Nebraska native to decide
the fate of a Nebraska tradition.

“T don’t think he’s qualified to
make that decision,” she said.
Sister Marshall and five other
nuns at the north Omaha con-
vents sew the Herbie windsocks
for Sewing Concepts, an Bei ee
company.

Demand has increased dramat-
ically since the decision to
choose a new mascot was make
public, she said. The convent

most three dozen windsocks, she
said.

The last order was for 144,

“One-—hundred forty—four is
the biggest order we’ve had for
quite a while,” she said.

The six sisters who work in
the sewing room—Marshall,
Adele Dunlap, Angeline Ian-
nazzo, Cecilia Porter, Dorothy
Agnes Haschke and rose Carmel
Rajokovic-spend almost five
hours a day Monday through
Friday sewing windsocks. Sister
Marshall hems the windsock
itself, while others hem and sew
the tails on.

The sisters also sew wind-
socks for the other Big Eight
teams, except Oklahoma. As a

dedicated Husker fan in charge
of the sewing room, Sister
Marshall gave the other sisters

“specific instructions about the

alliances.

“T told the sisters in the sewing
room,’ You can pray that they
(the other Big Eight teams) win

_all of their games except the one

against Nebraska,” she said.
“Nebraska has to win that one.”

Sister Marshall said the other
nuns are big Husker fans, too.
The convent itself is not decorat-
ed with Husker symbols; rather
two Husker bumper stickers
adorn the convent’s only car.

The nuns don’t get ESPN at
the covent, but they do watch the
games broadcast on local sta-
tions.

Staff Writers —

The New Jersey Devils’ top
farm club, the Albany River Rats,
beat the Fredricton Canadians in
the final round of the American
Hockey League playoffs. Albany
took the Calder Cup in just four
games, capping off what proved
to be one of the most successful
seasons in AHL history.

Albany led the league during
the regular season, finishing with
a 46-17-17 record. With stars
like Steve Sullivan (31-50-81
points), Bill Armstrong

(32-47-79) and Rob Conn
(35-32-67), the Rats had a solid
offensive attack. But this wasn’t
their strongest point.

almost unbeatable. The defense,
consisting of stars like Bryan
Helmer and Kevin Dean,.made
the job of the goaltenders that
much easier. The defense was
credited with giving Albany the
fewest goals allowed against dur-
ing the regular season (219 in 80
games): The Rats also had the
best penalty killing unit (83.3%).
Needless to say the River Rats
were poised and ready for the
playoffs.

Led by head coach Robbie
Ftorek, the River Rats played
exciting and disciplined hockey.
But in the playoffs, they took
their play to an even higher level.
In a time when many teams fall
apart (only five teams in the last
18 years had both the best record
during the regular season and a

silenced the critics by cruising to
victories through the first seven
games of the post season.

Included in this winning streak
was a sweep of the Adirondack
Red Wings, their arch division
rivals to the North and a jump to
a three games to none lead
against the Providence Bruins.
The Rats success ended abruptly
when the Bruins won games four
and five, forcing a game six in
Providence. This two game skid
was the longest losing streak that
Albany had in over two months.
The Rats regrouped, and beat the
Bruins in Providence, 6-3. This
victory sent Albany into the finals
for the first time ever.

Albany faced off in the final
round against the Fredericton
Canadians. Albany had home ice
advantage and the first two games
at home. They used this to their
advantage, winning both game by
identical 4-3 scores. The next
three games were scheduled to
take place in Fredericton, New
Brunswick, -but the Rats needed
only two of them. They won

game four with an impressive 3-0
victory.

Goalies Dunham and Schwab
shared co-MVP honors for their
outstanding play during the play-
off run. This capped off an
impressive 12-2 record during
the playoffs in which Albany lost
only once on home ice and once
away. Their sweep earned the

Albany ends ne aoe shutting
out Western New England College

~ By Eric DAGNALL
Senior Editor

The University at Albany
field hockey team struggled the
past two weeks, losing three in
a row only to rebound with a
win Tuesday to knot their
record at 3-3.

With Albany on the offensive
Angela Soteriou put a hard shot
on goal which Natalie Pisarcik,
New England’s goalie, was able
to turn aside. However, Peck
was right on the doorstep to
knock the rebound into the net.

Soteriou was able to succeed
in her quest for a goal ten min-

utes later. With Albany yet

again putting pressure on the
Goldon Lion defense, a mad
scramble for the ball ensued in
front of the net. Soteriou was
able to direct her shot past Pis-
arcik for her first goal of the
season.

Lady Dane goalie Jessica
Marucci had a day off in goal
not facing one shot. Albany’s
offense was relentless, notching
23 shots.

After a strong start to the sea-
son, the Lady Danes seemingly
hit a rock, losing three games in
a row to drop below .500.
Albany’s first loss came at the
hands of Sacred Heart. The
Lady Pioneers and Lady Danes
were evenly matched through-

out the match with each team
trading goals in regulation to
send the game into overtime.
Marucci had a superb game in
goal for the Lady Danes turning
aside 15 shots to keep Albany
in the game. However, in over-
time, Leslie Greene was able to
put the ball into the net to give
Sacred Heart the game.
Albany’s Nicole Berman and.
Christine Yang notched goals
for Albany.

Albany traveled to Connecti-
cut to face previously winless
Southern Connecticut State.
The Lady Owls were able to
blow the game open in the sec-
ond half, scoring three times for
the win. Lady Owl goalie
Valerie Gallo was acrobatic in
goal, turning aside 10 shots.

Union College came to
Albany Field September 19
looking for similar results to
last year’s 10-0 rout. However,
Albany’s defense held strong
against the Lady Dutchmen
holding the visitors to 10 shots
on goal. Union’s Tonya Cap-
parello launched a screamer of
a shot that whizzed into the left
corner of the Albany goal to
lead the Lady Duthmen to vic-
tory.

Great Danes lose home opener to Rensselaer 41-7

By THOMAS MCMAHON
Sports Editor

The University at Albany foot-
ball team played their first ever
home game as a Division II com-
- petitor last Saturday evening.
The Danes hosted Division III
Rensselaer, a team they had
never lost to in six previous
meetings.

Having come off a disappoint-
ing loss against C.W. Post a
week ago, Albany was looking
to jump on the Engineers early.
Instead, the home crowd saw
their team put behind early.

Rensselaer opened the scoring
just 6:56 into the contest when
quarterback Mark Barnes hit
Mike Mucci for a five yard
touchdown pass. David Kohler’s
extra point capped the seven
play, 49 yard drive and gave the
Engineers an early 7-0 lead.
This was just the beginning of a
very long night for the Danes
and their fans.

With 2:59 to go in the first
quarter, Rensselaer struck again.
This time Barnes connected on a
78 yard touchdown pass to Chris
Reigle. The extra point gave the
Engineers a 14 point lead at the
end of the first quarter.

It didn’t get any better for
Albany. Just 3:19 into the second
quarter Barnes capped a four
play, 67 yard drive by complet-
ing a 32 yard touchdown pass to

Jason Sawyer. The extra point
gave the Engineers a 21-0
advantage, a lead they would
carry into halftime.

The Albany defense was hav-
ing trouble slowing down the
Engineer passing attack as they
were striking fast and often. It
wasn’t a good half for the Danes
offensively either. The passing
game was unsuccessful and
Albany’s usual rushing attack
was being shut down.

The second half was no differ-

ent for Albany as Rensselaer

continued to pour it on. The
Engineers made it 28 unan-
swered points as Barnes hit Rei-
gle from twelve yards out for his
fourth touchdown pass of the
night.

The Danes stopped the Engi-
neers’ consecutive points streak
when Victor Freeman plunged in
from the one yard line. The
touchdown run ended a 70 yard
drive by the Danes that took nine
plays. Sean King’s extra point
made the score 28-7 with 2:19
left in the third quarter.

Rensselaer measured up the Danes then hit them with all they had.

Tennis team off to 4-1 start

By THomAs MCMAHON
Sports Editor

The Albany women’s tennis
team is off to a great start in their
inaugural season as a Division II
competitor. Their 4—1 record is
the best start in school history.

In their opening match back
on September 7 the Lady Danes
traveled to Russell Sage, a top
school in the New England Col-
legiate Conference. As a first
year member of the NECC this
was a big match for Albany. The
Danes captured a 5-4 victory
with four straight set singles
wins by freshmen Jackie Knapp,
Meredith Hidle and Mary Wood
and senior Deborah Schoenblum.
The Lady Danes doubles win
came from the team of Knapp
and Hidle. This was a big win
for Albany in their first NECC
match.

Next for Albany was a trip to
Oneonta on September 12.
Another 5—4 win improved the
Lady Danes to 2—0. Wins in the
singles by Knapp, Hidle and
senior Eriko Takemura were
again. important, but perhaps the
two doubles victories, by the
teams of Knapp/Hidle and
Schoenblum/Julie Glickman,
were the keys to the win.

Hockey

Two days later Albany contin-
ued their road trip to Bard. This
match didn’t come down to a
doubles victory as the Lady
Danes swept all nine matches.
Knapp, Hidle, Schoenblum
Takemura and senior Glickman
all won their singles matches in
straight sets. The doubles teams
faired just as well. The teams of
Schoenblum/Takemura and
Wood/Lindsay Hartman (fresh-
man) were able to win without
losing a game, while the team of
Knapp/Hidle only lost three. The
3-0 start was very promising for
this young Lady Danes team.

On September 16 Albany trav-
eled to New Haven for their
fourth straight match on the
road. It was another shutout as
the Lady Danes won 9-0. Using
the same lineup as in the Bard
match Albany was just as, if not
more, impressive. The win
improved Albany to 4—0, a feat
never accomplished before by
the Danes women’s tennis team.

The Danes winning steak
came to an end however when
they hosted Hartwick on Sept.
20. In their first ever home
match as a Division IT team.
Albany could only get wins from
Knapp and Hidle in singles play.
The 7-2 loss dropped the Lady

Danes to 4—1 overall and 1-0 in
the NECC. Knapp and Hidle
each remained unbeaten in sin-
gles play at 5-0 each. Knapp
trailed 4—1 in the first set, before

rallying for a 7-6 (7-2), 6-0 tri-.

umph.

Coach Darcie Trapasso, in her
third season, attributes much of
the teams success to the new
freshmen on the team. Out of six
freshmen including Dena Rein-
ish and Anne Marie Schumaker,
four are starters and Knapp and
Hidle are one and two on the
team.

After a 4-6 fall and a 5-12
record overall last year it’s obvi-
ous this team has gone through
some reformations and is much
improved.

Coach Trapasso feels the con-
fidence and cohesiveness of this
team is one of their strengths.

If there is a weakness on this
team coach Trapasso feels it may
be in the doubles department
because of their youth and not
enough playing time together.

Albany hosts Franklin Pierce,
a NECC opponent, tomorrow at
2 p.m. and Hamilton on Monday
at 4 p.m. These matches will be

used to gear up for the NECC

Tournament that Albany will
host on October 14 and 15.

Just as Albany was gaining
confidence and the fans were
getting into it, Rensselaer
dropped the bomb. A three play
drive that covered 53 yards and
ended in a one yard touchdown
run by Mucci. The touchdown
came just 25 seconds after the
Danes had put their first points
on the board. The score gave the
Engineers a 35-7 lead after three
quarters of play.

Dan McGovern closed out the
scoring with a three yard touch-
down run for Rensselaer. The

run came after a long thirteen
play drive that consumed much
of the fourth quarter. A missed
extra point left Rensselaer with a
41-7 win and improved their
record to 2-0. The loss dropped
the Danes to 1-3.

The lost was a devastating one .
in front of 3,100 Albany fans.
The Danes rushed for a season
low 175 yards on 49 carries led
by Frank Coluccio who gained
89 of those yards on 13 carries.
With no rushing attack Albany
turned to sophomore quarterback
Joe Savino to lead the offense.
Savino completed only nine of
24 passes for 90 yards and two
interceptions. The six points
were also a season low for the
Danes.

The Albany defense could not
stop Barnes as he throw for 230
yards on 13 of 22 passing and
four touchdowns. The Danes
also allowed 178 yards rushing
on 43 carries. McGovern led the
Engineers with 119 yards on 26
carries.

The Danes have a week off to
recover from this disaster before
taking the field on October 7 at
Union. Albany needs a strong
showing and a win against the
Division III opponent to keep
their confidence up and fans
interested. A good two weeks of
practice and rest should prepare
the Danes for a good showing in
two weeks.

Otis Bellamy and Mark
Williams quit football team |

As if things weren’t bad
enough for the Albany football
team, two players quit yester-
day.

Otis Bellamy, a senior tail-
back, and Mark Williams, a
junior defensive tackle, each
cited personal reasons for leav-
ing the program as head coach
Bob Ford announced yesterday.

Bellamy, the Great Danes’

top returning rusher and kickoff

return specialist from last sea-
son, had started three of the four
games played this fall. He
rushed for 170 yards on 25
attempts with no touchdowns to
this point in the season, but had
been hampered by reoccuring
health problems. Earlier this
month, Bellamy, of Bronx, N.Y.,
went over the 1,000—yard mark
for his career. He totaled 1,141
rushing yards, averaged 6.5 per
attempt and had six touch-
downs.

As a junior Bellamy started
all ten games at tailback, and
was tenth among Upstate New

York rushers at 71.9 yards per

game. He _ recorded three
100—yard games, including a

Salisbury State last season. Bel-
lamy, who averaged 24.4 yards
per kickoff return, finished the
1994 campaign with the second
highest seasonal total in school
history with 1,338 all-purpose
yards.

Williams, a reserve defensive
tackle from Hempstead, N-Y.,
had appeared in all four games
to date. He missed the entire
year in 1994, but had seven
tackles and one sack as a fresh-
man the previos year.

The 1-3 Danes have this
week off before facing Union.
