Senior dies in tragic auto accident
Washington Avenue & Fuller Road site of early moming collision

By Hers TERNS
Staff Writer

A twenty-one year old SUNYA student died Friday
morning in a two-car accident at the corner of Fuller
Road and Washington Avenue. Amy M. Bergenfeld, a
Brooklyn resident who lived at 460 Washington Avenue,
Albany, was killed when an Albany County Public
Works dumptruck collided with her car.

According to Albany Police Department Inspector
William Georges, at 6:45 a.m., the dumptruck, driven by
Frederick Cowan, 60, was traveling eastbound on
Washington Avenue when a vehicle stopped abruptly in
front of the truck; Cowan then apparently braked and
swerved into the westbound lane to avoid the vehicle and
struck Bergenfeld’s car.

Bergenfeld was employed at Record Town in
Crossgates Mall, but was on her way to do inventory at
Record Town in Mohawk Mall at the time of the acci-
dent.

She was taken to Albany Medical Center by an ambu-
lance where, according to Barbara Cavanaugh of the
Albany County Coroner’s Office, she was pronounced
dead at 7:44 a.m. as a result of “multiple traumatic
injuries” caused by the accident.

Joel Blumenthal, said Bergenfeld, who would have
turned 22 on April 29th, was scheduled to graduate on
May 16th.

One friend known as Notch said, “Her friendship,
humor, and good wit will be sorely missed.” Another
friend, Ken Mcintosh said, “She was always there for
you if you were in trouble or needed someone to talk to
you.”

Bergenfeld’s friend, Katie Kvehner, described her as
someone who gave you “constant reassurance of how
much you meant to her.”

She said, “Amy was the kind of girl that would be
comforting us right now,” and “remembering her is com-
fort enough.”

Bergenfeld’s housemate Jennifer Waber said
Bergenfeld was close to her mother and she “felt you
should be the best you can be.”

Waber described Bergenfeld as an “above average stu-
dent” who started college at Kingsboro Community
College in January of her senior year of high school.

Waber said Bergenfeld, an English major, saved all the
letters she received and believed “what you write i
important.”

She said Bergenfeld was planning on staying i
Albany after graduation and perhaps applying for the
assistant manager position at Record Town where she
worked.

Mike Director contributed to this story.

The Associate Vice President of University Relations,

Amy Bergenfeld was supposed to graduate in May.

Staff Writer

Washington, D.C.
At one of the largest civil rights
demonstrations in U.S. history including
Women, men, and children, one million
people from throughout the nation
marched on the nation’s capital Sunday
urging an end to discrimination against
lesbian, gays, bisexuals, and transgen-
dered people.
“This march marks the beginning of a
new era for our nation,” said Nadine

Smith, one of the march’s four National
Co-Chairs. “A rainbow of supporters
from every facet of our land — gay and
straight — stood up today to declare that
bigotry has no place in our nation. And
we are determined to make equal rights
and equal opportunity a reality once and
for all.”

“Two years ago, when we first began
planning this march, we had a vision of
building a powerful, grassroots move-
ment dedicated to moving out community
forward to equality. Today our vision is a
reality...And our community is a powerful

Co-Chair Billy Hileman said.

The rally included speeches
from Reverend Jesse Jackson,
U.S. Representatives Nancy
Pelosi, Barney Frank and
Gerry Studds; New York City
Mayor David Dinkins;
National Organization for
Women President Patricia
Ireland; National Association
for the Advancement of
Colored People Board Chair
Dr. William Gibson; enter-
tainment personalities Cybil
Sheppard, Judith Light, Sir
Tan McKellen [the first openly
gay person to be knighted],
and talk show host Phil
Donahue, who told homopho-
bics to “get over it.”

The rally also brought
together many performers in
support of the marchers’
goals. The Indigo Girls sang
their version of Simon and
Garfunkel’s “American
Tune.” Supermodel RuPaul
said, “In ten years, I'll be in
the White House, baby...we
put one President there, we
can put another.”

The marchers sang and
chanted various songs. At midday in front
of the White House, marchers lied down
and chanted, “every seven minutes anoth-
er person dies of AIDS,” for seven min-
utes. Marchers from Louisiana sang an
altered old South favorite song entitles,

NEWS BRIEFS
WORLD

Pres. Havel praised

Ludwigsburg, Germany
(AP) Czech President Vaclav Havel on
Saturday received the Theodor Heuss
prize for his work to strengthen human
rights in his homeland.

Havel was welcomed by German
President Richard von Weizsaecker and a
military honor guard.

The former Czech dissident and author
who co-founded the human rights group
Charta 77 was awarded the prize given
annually by the Theodor Heuss
Foundation in recognition of humanitarian
political engagement.

Foundation chairwoman Hildegard
Hamm-Bruecher praised Havel “for his
dedication to human rights in word and
deed.”

Havel risked his own well-being to
become a human rights activist and
dissident under former Czechoslovakia’s
communist regime that fell three years
ago, Hamm-Bruecker said.

Blast rocks London

London
(AP) An explosion rocked London’s
financial district Saturday sending a
mushroom cloud rising above the city and
showering passers-by with flying glass.

Police reported no deaths, but
confirmed that dozens of people were
injured. Stephen Miles, spokesman for St.
Bartholomew’s Hospital, said 34 people
were brought in for treatment, but none, of
the injuries were believed to be
life-threatening.

The blast shattered glass in many bank
buildings and businesses, among them the
National Westminster tower, the financial
district’s tallest structure.

No one immediately claimed
responsibility for the blast. However,
suspicion focused on the Irish Republican
Army, which has frequently set off bombs
in Britain as part of its violent campaign
to end British rule of Northern Ireland.

Coke secrets found

Atlanta
(AP) The original recipe for Coca-Cola
has been called corporate America’s best
kept secret. Get it, the legend goes, and
you can make a fortune. The company
says the formula is in a bank vault, but the
author of a new book claims he
discovered it in company archives.
“The company will tell you that’s not
true, it’s not the original,” said writer

-PREVIEW OF EVENTS

Mark Pendergrast. “I think they love the
mystique.”

“You can’t know for sure unless you
look in that bank vault. . . but this is as
close as anyone’s come,” said the
freelance journalist and former librarian
whose forthcoming book is called “For
God, Country and Coca-Cola.”

Coke’s insistence on secrecy about the
107-year-old recipe flavors intrigue
surrounding the world’s best-selling soft
drink.

The Coca-Cola Co. did, in fact, deny
Pendergrast’s claim. The writer said he
found the recipe on a yellowed piece of
paper marked “X” during research for his
book about the Atlanta-based company.
Pendergrast spoke about the book last
week from his home in Stowe, Vt. A
native of Atlanta, he spent four years
researching and writing the book to be
published May 4 by Charles Scrinbner’s
Sons.

Land swallows boy

North Brunswick, N.J.
(AP) A 7-year-old boy playing on his
bicycle was swallowed by a sinkhole
Saturday outside an apartment complex
and was freed after hours of digging. But
rescuers feared the worst.

“We have not seen any signs of life,”
said Mayor Paul Matacera after the child
was hoisted from the hole and taken away
in an ambulance. The mayor wouldn’t say
whether the boy was dead.

The boy stuck his foot in a small hole in
a courtyard of the North Brunswick
Manor Apartments when the ground gave
way about 10 a.m., witnesses said.

A neighbor said he and the boy’s father
tried to pull the child to. safety but
couldn’t reach him.

“His father and I were the first on the
scene, and his hands were in the air. He
said, ‘Daddy, get me out of here, there’s
snakes down here,’ ” said the neighbor,
Gary Nelson. “We tried to grab his hand
and the ground started giving under him.”
Police arrived and they tried again.

Pinpointing gas and water lines slowed
rescue work. A backhoe was used to help
dig and firefighters extended a ladder into
the hole and used shovels.

Police have not identified the boy.
Neighbors said the family would not
speak to reporters.

Daughters go to work

New York
(AP) Girls will descend on working
America this week, riding fire trucks,
making pizzas, sitting in on court trials
and taking x-rays. In many cases, their
job-site mentors will be their moms or

dads.

As many as | million girls are expected
to participate Wednesday in the Ms.
Foundation for Women’s “Take Our
Daughters to Work” campaign.

“Tt is 10 times bigger than we ever
expected,” said Miriam Zoll,
spokeswoman for the campaign.

Schools, businesses and public agencies
are getting involved, along with parents
and daughters, Zoll said.

The campaign, according to the Ms,
Foundation, is to let girls know they are
important and valued and that they have a
world of options open to them.

Despite its name, the day is not just for
daughters, the Ms. Foundation says. Men
and women can take a relative or young
friend for the day. New York City public
schools arranged for 2,000 girls to visit 75
job sites because their parents can’t take
them, in many cases because they are
unemployed.

Water contaminated

Amsterdam

(AP) Residents may have to boil their

drinking water through the next week

while officials work to repair a breach that
has contaminated the city’s reservoir,

The accident is being blamed on delays

by the city in following state Health
Department recommendations to replace
its water system.

The Health Department told the 25,000
residents served by the Brookside
Reservoir to boil their water Thursday
night after a concrete tunnel collapsed and
spilled millions of gallons of water from
Bunn Creek into the reservoir.

Heavy rain diluted the untreated creek
water enough to virtually eliminate
contamination from chemicals such as
gasoline, health officials said.

There is still a risk from parasites such
as salmonella hepatitis, which are killed
when water is boiled for two minutes or
more.

Replacing the 140-foot section of
collapsed pipe could cost less than
$20,000, according to Deputy Mayor
Daniel Kielbasa.

State sanitary engineer John Cunnan
told the City Council in 1992 that the state
was almost ready to declare the tunnel’s
condition an emergency situation. Last
month, the department ordered the city to
come up with a plan by June to fix the
tunnel and then replace the city’s entire
water system.

A complete overhaul of the system
could cost between $6.6 million and $13.5
million.

Taking responsibilit

You just returned from Spring
Break and are facing the final
crunch at the end of the school
year. Midterms are over and if
you're going to pull that course
out of the cellar, it’s now or
never. You make several
attempts at becoming the pre-
pared, organized, efficient and
congenial person you and every-
one else expects you to be. But,
you gradually begin to sink back
into those same old habits. You
aL begin to feel disor-
Middle ganized and pressed

for time because
R ‘oots everyone expects so
———__ much from you.
Your obligations extend to
everyone—professors, friends,
parents—everyone, that is,
except yourself,

You then begin to feel both
guilty and resentful. You feel
guilty because whenever you do
take some time away from your
studies, you know that time is
being wasted. You feel resent-
ment because you never really
get to enjoy yourself. Then you
feel discouraged. You’re only
working for grades and don’t
really have the time to learn or
delve into areas that are interest-
ing. This leads to feelings of
incompetence because no matter
how hard you try or how much
time you spend studying, you
can’t get ahead. Everyone else
seems to work less and get better
grades, and they still have time
left to enjoy themselves. Finally,

Looking at your life and discovering
how to make your own decisions

choices do not belong to others.”

expected of you.

Does this sound familiar?
Many have felt these or other
emotions as a result of real or
perceived pressure from others to
be good and to do well. There is
away out of this depressing, dis-
couraging, confusing tangle. The
way out, however, is hard and it
may involve taking a closer look
at why you behave the way you
do. It involves making choices
and taking the responsibility for
those choices. It involves decid-
ing what you want out of school,
not what others want for you. It
also involves discovering who
you are and how you want to live
your life. In all of these exam-
ples given above, none have
involved your right to make your
own choices. First, by choosing
your own expectations and being
responsible for the results of
choices, you begin to control
what and how much you want to

Second, by not recognizing
that time away from work is nec-
essary, you again eliminate the
opportunity to make your own
choices. Leisure time away from
the work place is just as impor-
tant in maintaining your ability
to study as the studying itself. By
acknowledging the many options
available, you are able to regain
control over your situation. For
example, you can choose to go
out and not feel guilty, to stay
home and work, or to stay home
and not work. By making your
own decisions you give yourself
the option to feel guilty or not,
resentful or not, joyful or not.

Third, in comparing your
accomplishments with those of
others, you allow those others to
make your choices for you. This
allows them to determine your
personal worth, since your worth
is then based on someone else’s
opinion and standards.

Unfortunately, in school set-
tings, grades are an estimate of
academic success; however,
many of us equate academic
worth with personal worth. Yet,
you are still allowed options.
Many of these options may not
be ideal, but they are available.

The essential fact is that you
do have control over your own
life. The choices do not belong to
others. If you feel as though your
choices are limited or if you are

unable to visualize your options,
you may want professional help
in this area. The Psychological
and Counseling Center is avail-
able to offer such help. Finding
your options and recognizing
that your life is yours is a first
necessary step in getting out of
the traps caused by the social
pressure to be and.act like every-

Clinton’s 100 Days nears close
but promises are left untouched

Boston
(AP) President Clinton says he knows he
isn’t accomplishing all he’d hoped in his
first 100 days, but “that’s why you get a
four-year term, not a three-month term.”

He vowed to press on with major cam-
paign promises despite some early frustra-
tions.

Shrugging off last week’s Senate defeat
on his jobs-stimulus program as a minor
setback, Clinton looked to the big battles
ahead, including the one over health care
reform.

“We're going to bust a gut trying in this
administration. We’re going to do our
best,” he told the Newspaper Association
of America on Sunday.

Clinton also voiced frustration over the
ongoing ethnic violence in Bosnia, calling
it “the most difficult foreign policy prob-
lem this country faces.”

Separately, in an interview with The
Boston Globe, Clinton expressed reserva-
tions about the possibility of U.S. bomb-
ing of Serbian artillery positions to slow
the “ethnic cleansing” campaign in
Bosnia, as some members of Congress
have suggested.

“I’m convinced that the United States
cannot just simply decide to bomb a few
targets in Bosnia and reverse the situation
on the ground politically,” Clinton said.

He reiterated earlier assertions, howev-
er, that he had not made up his mind on
the matter.

In the same interview, Clinton suggest-
ed “that I may have overextended myself”
in his first days, “and we've got to focus
on big things.”

Clinton expressed some touchiness in

his session with newspaper executives on
the subject of the 100-day mark, which
comes Friday, and on his inability to get
his.$16.3 billion stimulus package past a
cohesive Republican filibuster in the
Senate.

“When people say to me, well, what did
you do in your first 100 days, I say, what
did the other guys do in their first 100
days?”

Later, responding to a question, Clinton
said it was “just not realistic” to expect
that he could have moved on all his cam-
paign commitments in his first 100 days.

“That’s why you get a four-year term,
not a three-month term,” he added.

The president then made a
campaign-style evening visit to an
Italian-American neighborhood in
Boston’s North End, ducking into a bak-
ery for cream-filled cannoli pastry and
shaking hands with many of the thousands
of people lining both sides of the street.

At one point, he spoke to the crowd
through his limousine public address sys-
tem, saying: “I want to thank you for the
support you gave me in the election, I
want to thank you for hanging in there.”

He apologized to the crowd for taking
Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn from the
city in nominating him as U.S. ambas-
sador to the Vatican. “Take him, take
him,” one woman cried out several times.

In his talk to the publishers, Clinton
said he did not regret what may have been
the most controversial decision of his
young presidency, his move to lift the ban
on gays in the military.

EIDITORIAIL
Kill All Blancos

Last week there were several issues which
were a shock to campus.

Besides finding talk show host Rush
Limbaugh on the University Senate ballot (he
got ten votes) most students were content to vote
for candidates who actually went to SUNYA.
Importantly, this third Student Association ballot
came off with very few hitches, and no
complaints so far. Hopefully it will serve as a
guide to future SA endeavors.

Another issue that is even more important is
the question of free speech, or at least,
expression.

Last week, ASUBA protested the use of the
lyrics of a Digable Planets song on the shirts of
the Black Team in Greek Week. Ironically this
week ASUBA co-sponsored a concert by the
same group on campus.

The lyrics “cool like dat, hip like dat, black
like dat” were printed on the front of the shirt.

In and of itself these statements don’t seem to
be anything inflamatory. These three lines are
just the lyrics of a popular song.

But to some it’s obviously a bit more. ASUBA
was “offended” by the use of “black.” Perhaps it
was considered to be derogatory, or just
insulting, but the reaction to its use was a bit too
much.

Reportedly, one Greek who wore the shirt was
approached by another student who told him
they would get ASUBA “after them.” A threat?
Or a warning that a powerful student
organization would soon be involved?

Later when the situation was discussed calmly,
it-was decided that black would not be used
again as a color.

Strangely, many who have been thus far vocal
on the" issu claim that they were offended
because certain Greeks claimed to be “black like
dat.” Some have tried to emphasize that these
Greeks could never be “black like dat.”

It seems that tolerance and diversity have all
but disappeared with that statement.

Those who were offended seemed to have a
problem with others expressing an interest in
being like them.

Isn’t imitation the most sincere form of
flattery? Whatever happened to tolerating
another’s hopes and ideas, and trying to educate
the:groups about diversity? Hasn’t ASUBA
wasted an opportunity and also wasted energy?

If a system like-this were used for all the
colors in Greek Week, wouldn’t Whites be angry
that a “White Team” was involved, Asians that a
“Yellow Team” was included and Native
Americans that a “Red Team” was included?
Perhaps the Irish could protest a “Green Team,”
and Homosexuals a “Pink Team” as well.

Black will not. be used next year and it seems
that’s a shame. After all, some members of LLF.C.
=~ those who are leaders this year — have made a
decision for those next year. This is a form of
censorship, obviously.

The repercussions of this will not be
short-lived. Already the Black Greek shirt is a
collector’s edition among Greek Students and
ASUBA's reputation is tarnished by the actions
it took. Perhaps in the future ASUBA and the
IFC will think more clearly.

One issue that has been ignored in all this is
the administration’s and SA’s role. How can
either organization allow our student funds to
go to groups that support intolerance?

COLUMN

Liberalism Is A Hoax

Greetings from the land of the politically incorrect!
Believe it or not, I am not writing only to annoy my
political enemies of the left. I would like to dedicate this
column to those seeking the truth. Nowadays, the truth is
hard to come by. However, once we understand who is
right and who is really poisoning our minds, we can
indeed think logically. Please understand that in order to
do this, it is our duty as Americans to uncover and
publicly humiliate the culprits of liberalism. The shining
truth will prevail.

The biggest joke in the files of senseless liberal

Marc Caroul

ideology is modern feminism which was once sincerely
dedicated to equal racial fovea The problem with

today’s liberal feminists is that they are determined to «

brainwash women into believing that all women should be
feminists.

Liberal feminists are against marriage because the
second a woman gets married she becomes a than’s sex
“slave.” Motherhood, according to them;-is the root of
oppression for women. Read it, it’s true. The double-
standard lies with the feminist view of fatherhood. In a
book I glanced through at the very liberal SUNY Albany
Bookstore, Feminism Without Women, I could not help but
notice how the feminists giggle at the film Three Men and
a Baby. They cheer at the idea of incompetent men trying
to raise a child, because the responsibility is removed
from the mother, and slapped onto the father. In the same
book, the author complains about Full House, claiming

that the three daughters’ interests could not possibly be _

served, because Mr. Tanner, Joey, and Jessie are going to
steer these young ladies away from feminism.

I would like to pose’a question to the feminists: How
are these cases different? In both situations the father(s)
are bringing up female children. Could we just as easily
say that Murphy Brown will steer her son away from
Men’s Lib?

Feminism without Women also claims that there is this
“supposed “lesbian continuum.” This continuum says that
all women who have friendships with other women are
lesbians to a certain degree. The sad irony of it all is that
feminism is geared to help women realize how important
their minds are, yet the feminists are only: telling them
how to think. Some women who were once set in their
sexual orientation have turned to homosexuality as a
“feminist choice” (Newsweek, 3-22-93). I’m not making
any moral judgments here, but I’m questioning the
intention. Folks, this is not compassion. Today’s woman
is a free-thinker (I hope). Encouraging her to freely use
her mind is on the other end of the spectrum from
brainwashing.

Today's modern liberal feminist has a strange sense of
priorities. The latest scheme from these “womyn” was
“Women’s. Herstory Month.” Now, how is changing the
spelling of words going to change the “misogynist”
society in which we supposedly live? The ’90s are not the
’60s! If you remind anyone how worthless he or she was
before you came along, of course that person, if gullible
enough, will join your crusade. Just a reminder — the word
“history” is not a sexist compound word for “his story.” It
comes from the Latin word “historia.”

I'm sorry, feminists. In today’s day and age, women
can achieve self-esteem without you trying to recruit

them in your quest to castrate men. Today, you are
power-hungry. That’s why you go lobbying to Clinton,
and now you are always in the paper. He has even
appointed renowned feminazi Janet Reno who still can’t
pacify you. Your charge that the Catholic Church is so
sexist is nothing but political rhetoric. Islam practices
polygamy; why don’t you say anything about that? I know
if the Pope recognized polygamy you would scream. Face
it, the real reason you are all worked up about Catholics is
their participation in the pro-life movement. Sorry folks,
we won't back down.

I would next like to mention a few more hypocrisies
of liberal priorities. Now, everyone knows all those
animal rights whackos are liberal. Some don’t want them
used for medical experiments. Others think that using
elephants in a circus is cruel and a violation of their
“rights” (I recently observed such a whacko trying to

Make a statement, at thei small fountain).These people;

should really Change their priorities. There are humans
being experjmented.on ina much more. inhumane way.
Fefal research advocates don’t tell you that they crack the
unborn baby’s skull open and remove “useful” parts of its
brain while it’s still alive. Planned Parenthood won’t tell
you how inhumane a second-trimester abortion is. How
about this, liberals: it takes three hours to burn the:child to
death by a concentrated salt solution, inducing violent
labor.

Oh, but liberals will say that conservatives are
hypocrites: “How can you be pro-life and favor the death
penalty?” For those of you conservatives who haye been
asked this question a thousand times like I have, tell them
this; “Listen up, you stinking liberal! You guys want
innocent lives to be destroyed, but you want criminals to
live!!” This is probably true because 99% of criminals are
liberals themselves. Besides the innocent lives of the
unborn, how about those fifty people who died in the L-A-
riots? Liberals praise it! I’m sure if the ISO had lost one
of their members in the riots they would not have found
the riots “wonderful.” “Make love, not war!” This comes
from the organized masses of hatred themselves. What 4
crock of shit!

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve been had. They re
liberals; they lie and they get away with it. They are the
Cause of the social problems that they think they have the
answers to, when in reality they make things worse-
Liberals accuse conservatives of being mean and uncaring
because they vote Republican. The liberals have no sense
of responsibility; that’s why they expect to be spoon-fed
by the government. Wake up, liberals! Act Up and those
AIDS activists have no clue of the solution to the AIDS
crisis. Abstinence is the cure for AIDS, plain and simple.
I'm not saying that we must die virgins, but liberals need
to redefine “monogamous.” What we need is for everyone
to abandon a liberal sexual lifestyle. Folks, givin’
condoms to 13-year-olds has only shown to increase teen
pregnancy, and abortion has only led to increased child
abuse.

In closing, I would like to share with you a wonderful
conservative lexicon in the witty spirit of Rush Limbaugh
(inspired by Rush, but I wrote these):
BLEEDING-HEART LIBERALS: Liberals who think
that voting for Clinton puts them next to Mother Theresa-
DOGS FOR CHOICE: Pro-choicers don’t have enough

Stephen King s Better. Half

Gazing about his room for inspiration, young
Thad Beaumont sees a sparrow land on his window.
Quickly, the boy scribbles down a name for one of
his story’s characters: “Ms. Bird.” Soon after, he
begins to suffer from an excruciating headache. His
pencil point breaks, smudging the loose-leaf he
writes upon. Hundreds of crazed sparrows soar and
dip outside his window. The creatures dot an
overcast sky in black specks until the world outside
his bedroom goes completely dark.

sense-of-humor. Moreover, it provides some
interesting insights on the writing process and the
overall nature of creativity.

The narrative picks up Thad (Timothy Hutton),
twenty-three years later, as he lives a tranquilly
happy life with his genial wife, Liz (Amy Madigan)
and their infant twins in Maine. Thad’s a likable
creative writing professor and a moderately
successful author on the side. However, Thad also
assumes the pseudonym of “George Stark” and

Timothy Coleman

And then the flock flies away. The boy’s seizure
ends at last.

The above sequence initiates the latest adaptation
of a Stephen King novel, George A. Romero’s The
Dark Half. Stuck on the shelf at Orion studios —
which went bankrupt in 1991 - for two years, the
film finally emerges, and it is the finest screen
version of a King tale since David Cronenberg’s
haunting 1983 movie The Dead Zone. Unlike recent
King adaptations, this new film takes itself rather
seriously and does not confuse silliness for a

Timothy Hutton stars in The Dark Half

busily crafts easy-sell potboilers riddled with sex
and violence to enjoy a more comfortable way of
life. When Thad writes as Stark, he kind of becomes
Stark, capitulating to his own “dark half.” He
drinks cheap whiskey, smokes, wears cowboy boots
and carries around a straight-edge razor.

At the end of a class lecture on the nature of
duality, a swarthy-looking man named Clausen
approaches Thad for an autograph of a novel by
George Stark. Thad denies writing the book, but the
man persists and furthermore plans to expose to the
media the fact that Thad is behind Stark’s writings-
a blackmail scheme that might jeopardize Thad’s
audience. Thad considers paying the slimy guy off,
but instead chooses to “kill off” his pseudonym
complete with a mock funeral and an obituary. This
way, Thad rids himself of the blackmailer as well as
mending his borderline schizophrenic ways of
becoming George Stark (smoking, drinking and the
like).

But George isn’t happy with his new status as a
corpse. And people start dying grisly deaths, too.
All of the evidence points to Thad, whose
whereabouts are questionable at the times of the
murders. Also, he matches the description of the
killer...right down to the fingerprints. The local
lawman, Sheriff Pangborn (the excellent Michael
Rooker), knows Thad and doesn’t believe the
mild-mannered professor has the killer instinct in
him. Nonetheless, the proof against Thad mounts
higher and higher.

One of the joys of the film is that Romero allows
us to see George Stark (also played with relish by
Hutton) embark on his spree. He’s a seedy, evil
creature, but a funny bastard as well. When he’s
tormenting a victim crawling on the floor helplessly

in an apartment hallway, cutting the person with
quick slashes of his razor, a next-door neighbor
opens the door and asks what's going on. George
replies plainly: “Murder. You want some?” Romero
and King also instill George with true — if cruel -
honesty. In other words, George lets the beast inside
him come out and play. He does things most of us
would want to but don’t. For example, Thad tells
Clausen that he’d like to castrate him, and feed the
blackmailer his own testicles. Guess how George
would handle the same situation.

Aesthetically, Romero’s director-of-photography,
Tony Pierce-Roberts, shoots the film handsomely.
He contrasts the staid academic life with the darker
world of George’s murder trail sharply at the
beginning of the film and steadily blurs the two as
the movie proceeds, in line with its story. Also, the
images of the flocks of sparrows are menacing,
remaining necessarily inexplicable until near the
tale’s end. This footage obviously apes sections of
Hitchcock's The Birds, but it’s achieved quite well
and comes across as a self-conscious homage.

In terms of narrative, Romero (doubling as
screenwriter) adapts the King novel thoroughly and
gratifyingly. Both the mythology of the sparrows
and the psychological ideas concerning duality are
consistent and intelligently presented. Romero
etches his characters acutely, filling the roles, major
and minor, with reliable actors. The under-utilized
Hutton is especially good in both parts. He makes
Thad a caring father, even if he’s capable of an evil
side: and his George manages to be comical and
reprehensible. It’s actually quite pleasing to see a
talented filmmaker like Romero return to form after
a couple of jaw-dropping embarrassments, Two Evil
Eyes and Monkey Shines. He was responsible for
Creepshow, and as well as the landmark Night of the
Living Dead and its even better sequel, Dawn of the
Dead.

Loot, a comedy by Joe Orton,
was performed in the
Performing Arts Center this
past weekend. Chock-full of
laughs and biting satire, the
play was a stellar conclusion to
the PAC’s theatre year.

Kelly Barclay

The story concerns an
Trish-Catholic named McLeavy
(Josh Golden) whose wife has
just died. His dead wife’s
nurse, Fay (Jennifer Fleming) is
hanging around for the funeral,
a woman who has been mar-
tied seven times in seven years,
and who plans to make the
newly-single McLeavy her
eighth.

McLeavy has a son named
Harold (Brendan Gallagher), a
rather promiscuous kid who is
involved in a major robbery at
the local bank with his
friend/lover, Dennis (J. Keith
Doherty), who works as the
local undertaking. Rounding
out the cast is Truscott
(Christopher Dippel) who is a
police officer posing as an
employee from the water com-
pany, looking for the bank rob-
bers.

When Harold and Dennis
realize that the law is after
them, they decide to hide the

it’s the season for roses.

The show parodies many
institutions of society. Religion,
sex, the law, and crime are all
victims of Orton's wit. “What's
more serious than murder?”
McLeavy asks Truscott, who
responds, “Stealing public
money.”

Repeatedly, the police are
ridiculed. Dippel perfectly por-
trays Truscott as a bumbling
example of police corruption.
“How dare you involve me ina
case where no momo has been
issued!” he roars.

Fay and Harold have some of
the funniest lines in the show.
Harold responds to Fay’s pro-
fessed interest in McLeavy by
saying, “You're wasting your
time. He couldn’t propagate a
row of tomatoes.”

Fay defends herself when she
is accused of murder: “Had
euthanasia not been against my
religion, I would have prac-
ticed it. So I murdered her
instead.”

Paul Dingman directs with
an accent on physical action,
which is superb. The whole
cast was exceptional, with
Gallagher and Fleming as
standouts. Even the set was
excellent, with fine attention to
details. All in all, those who
saw this performance were
rewarded with a fine show.

It was without a doubt the finest piece of
theater I have ever seen in my four years at
Albany. Combining the efforts of members of
the SUNYA Theater and Music departments,
along with Director Eric Posmantier and
Musical Director Gerard Micera, and 20 of the
finest in Albany's acting pool, Stephen
Sondheim’s Into The Woods was brought to life
at Page Hall last weekend.

Many people came looking for the weekend
movie. Those that left might have felt cheated
that their flick got cancelled. Those that stayed
couldn’t possibly have.

And by the way, this was the Colonial Quad
Board show.

Into the Woods combines several popular
fairy tales into one big story. Favorites like
Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, The Big
Bad Wolf, Rapunzel, and yes, Aladdin, took
time out from their otherwise busy schedules
to be with us.

The story opens with an air of dismay. The
Baker (John C, Anderson) and his wife (Sherri
Anne Sawyer) want nothing more than to
have a child. Cinderella (Laurie Larson) wish-
es to go to the Festival, which her evil step-
mother (Beth Nutter) and stepsisters (Kelly
Davenport and Marie Joy Arzaga) will not
allow her to attend. And Jack (Christopher J.
Desiano) has his own problems, as he must go
to market to sell off his cow, and best friend,
Milky White.

Enter the evil witch (Dawn DeMaio), who
has cast a spell over the Baker and his wife,
which has kept them childless all this time.

money in Harold’s mother’s
coffin and put her body in the
cupboard. Eventually, Fay dis-
covers the money, and helps
for a cut.

Nobody in the story really
cares about the woman’s death.
“When my mother died,”
Harold tells Fay, “the first thing
he said was we're lucky that

If you live in the city of Albany, you know the name William
Kennedy. Odds are you may even catch a glimpse of him here or
there, such as at the lectures given by the New York State Writers’
Institute, of which he is in charge. When he himself did a reading
from his novel Very Old Bones, the spacious auditorium in Page
Hall was filled to capacity, unheard of for such an event.

Adam Meyer

The crowd which has come for his book signing at the State
University of New York at Albany is a small but loyal one. Those
bearing books range from a leather-clad student with a nose ring
to a young girl and her mother. “What's your name?” he asks, a
copy of his children’s book Charlie Malarkey and the Belly Button
open before him. The girl will not let him coax her identity out of
her and the mother, slightly exasperated, tells it to him.

The New York Times has called William Kennedy “probably the
city’s only celebrity” except for Mario Cuomo, which is not much
of a distinction. He is, however, a‘celebrity in the larger world of
novels and films, a more populated and elitist clique.

Although his name is now synonymous with Albany, his native
city, he was not so fond of it in his youth. “I always loved it but at
the same time I wanted to get as far away from it as I could.” He
did leave, spending time in Puerto Rico and Miami, but returned
because of a family situation, and this time he stayed. “When I
came back I started working for the newspaper again and I got a
great assignment — researching the neighborhoods. That sold me
on the city. I realized I had a treasure chest of history to work
with. I will probably always write about it and I’ll probably never
live anyplace else.”

The witch is also holding the Baker's sister,
Rapunzel (Christina Nicotina) in the tower

by the Baker's father for raiding her garden.

was far from painless, as Kennedy learned the hard way. “I used
to think I could go out and cover a story and then come back and
make a short story out of it,” he remembers. “It didn’t work. That
isn’t how fiction is written. That isn’t even how fiction comes to
exist. It’s obviously a far more unconscious process. Something
appeals to you that rises to the surface of your conscious mind.”

The interview is interrupted briefly by a resurgence of auto-
graph seekers. One man chats with the author about a favorite
book and Kennedy asks him what it was he liked so much about
it. Anyone harboring expectations of a brilliant recluse who has
shuffled out of hiding for a couple hours of obligatory public rela-
tions has come to the wrong place.

Kennedy doesn’t just like to talk to people, he writes about
them with affection. Not himself, mind you, other people. “I can’t
really write about myself,” he explains, responding to the charge
that his work is autobiographical. “I tried in Very Old Bones but I
had to stop and reconceive the character. You want the characters
to constantly surprise you.”

The temptation is to call him Professor Kennedy, for that is the
aura he emits, clad in a light blue shirt, blue tie, tweed jacket, and
glasses, which rest on the table most of the time. In fact, Kennedy
has done some teaching, including a stint as a journalism instruc-
tor at SUNY. He was as much a student as any of the others,
though, saying, “All the time, every day, I learned from those
people.”

His modesty is not simply affectation. When I ask how it’s dif-
ferent to write as “William Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize winner”
rather than as just “William Kennedy,” the soft-spoken man
becomes irate for the first time this afternoon. “It’s still the same.
Stop that nonsense,” he says, dismissing perhaps the greatest
honor a writer can hold with a wave of his hand.

tion. Koryn Kelley as Red Riding Hood makes
a wonderful transformation from an innocent
young girl, hopping and skipping around the
stage, to someone with an unquenchable thirst
for blood. Sherri Anne Sawyer and John C.
Anderson as the childless couple are excellent
together. The singing of Laurie Larson as
Cinderella is as amazing as her work as the
choreographer.

But the two standouts of this play are
Nathan Graf and Dawn DeMaio. Graf's voice
carries throughout the play, and his humorous
entrances with one hand raised in royalty are a
pleasure to watch. His work as the wolf,
though not as prevalent, is nevertheless terrif-

ic. Both roles show off his uncanny ability to

deliver even the most funny lines with a dead-
pan expression, It’s hard to believe this is only
his first show.

DeMaio is simply unbelievable in her role as
the witch (what was she doing in Ubu
Cuckolded?). You can’t help but notice where
she is at all times, with the way she moves
around the stage and how she uses her power-
ful voice, in singing and in dialogue, to sheer
perfection, much the way Graf and Michael
Veruto (Rapunzel’s Prince) use theirs. She sim-
ply demands your attention when she is on
stage, and you'd be foolish not to give it to
her.

The set, designed by Joe Bellber, Patrick
Ferlo, Stephen Green, and Kelly Marra of the
SUNYA Theater department, is outstanding,

intricate to every last detail. The lighting in the

back of the woods during the night scenes
gives an excellent sense of dreariness, signify-
ing that all is not right. The way the set is
changed from outside to inside the woods is
fluent and effective, with Aladdin (Andrew
Somer) and Sleeping Beauty (Stefani Bell)
being employed to do most of this grunt work.

Kudos also go to the orchestra, conducted by
Gerard Micera. It was also he who taught the
music to the actors, and their ability to stay in
tune with the orchestra at all times is a credit
to his outstanding work. The score is anything
but simple, and the cast handles the atonal
music beautifully. Every number is done very
well, and again to single out a few is difficult.
The first act rendition of “Agony” by Veruto
and Graf, and DeMaio’s “Last Midnight” In
Act II are two which stood out.

And, of course, compliment are in order for
Eric Posmantier, who assured me even before
his cast was selected that this play would be
great, that it would set a precedent for other
quad shows to follow. He was right about

_ both, and he does an absolutely incredible job

with this production, using not only the stage
but every part of Page Hall to put on an out-
standing show. ic

Into The Woods has definitely set the stan-
dard for other productions to achieve, and will
no doubt be one tough act to beat in future
years. 2 :

So does his rhythm and grace

het®; Kennedy states, “I had this cloud

y *°t publishing this book?” other edi-

tors wondered. “I was really depressed that I had this book and
nobody wanted to buy it,” he recalls.

Kennedy's mentor Saul Bellow stepped in and agreed to give a
quote for the book, after which the original publisher agreed to
print it. The novel's creator had never anticipated the critical and
commercial reception it received. “Not for a book like that,” he
says, “a book about bums, about bums in Albany.”

That's what it always seems to come back to, this place.
Kennedy’s face is as well-worn as the city he calls home; if you
look closely, perhaps those creases in his forehead could be
likened to the streets on’a local map. That line near his brow,
there’s Washington Avenue, and intersecting it is North Pearl,
and-

“\'m a native Albanian so I really appreciate your books,” says
a young woman, as if she shares with this stranger membership
in some exclusive club. Kennedy looks up at her and signs and
smiles.

To some extent, the popular success of a writer is judged by his
movie sales, and so one has to wonder whether there will be a
‘cinematic follow-up to Ironweed. “I hope so,” Kennedy assures
me. “I’m trying. We're working on Billy Phelan [Billy Phelan’s
Greatest Game]. A lot of people say that would be the best of
them,” in terms of making the transition to celluloid.

The transition is always difficult, however. “You just can’t get
the same effect. It’s just not possible.” An observation, not an
accusation. “It’s a wonderful form, I love it.”

Books and movies simply speak a different language. “I've
seen any number [of movies] where they use voiceovers,”
Kennedy says. “It gets in the way of the pictures.”

Kennedy himself co-authored the Ironweed screenplay, but the
shift from book writer to screenwriter was no problem. “It’s a

tricky business but it’s simple compared to being a novelist,” he
says, though he asserts, “I don’t demean it because it’s tough.”

Despite his love for his craft, he emphasizes the difficulties of
being a writer, most of which must be navigated by the individ-
ual. “It’s not something someone can tell you. You can study in
classrooms and find out where some of your mistakes are.”

Teachers don’t make writers, however. “A writer is self-creat-
ed,” he says. “You're a product of the desire to be a writer.
Nobody can tell you you could be a novelist or should be a novel-
ist.”

Next comes discipline. “If you commit yourself, you're halfway
home. The other thing is not to quit. You can’t lose if you don’t
quit.” Once again, his unabashed modesty comes to the forefront
as he states, “It takes a lot of work and a lot of time unless you're
a genius, which I wasn’t.”

Kennedy’s life is not spent working constantly. Everyone needs
a little time for billiards, right? “I’m an aficionado is what I am. I
started playing pool before I could see over the top of the table,”
he says. “As I grew up I kept playing pool. My uncle was a good
shooter. My father, I found out, was a very good shooter; Inever
knew that. In high school I used to shoot a lot of pool, then I
abandoned it. In the army, in Puerto Rico, it wasn’t available.”
Now Kennedy has a table of his own, and a sign on his wall
which reads, “Pool is not a matter of life and death. It is more
important than that.”

As the signing winds down and the stream of fans trickles off, a
box filled with copies of Kennedy’s new book, Riding the Yellow
Trolley Car, is placed at his feet. Dutifully he signs each one.
Someone makes a remark about him getting writer’s cramp, but
Kennedy is not concerned. “I'll never get it,” he says with assur-
ance. “I take vitamins.”

6a Aspects

‘April 27, 1993

James Brown! UH! Still Relevant!

Why does anybody care about James Brown? He's like
Liz Taylor or Rex Reed — famous for the sake of being
famous. He’s a PCP-smokin’, wife-beatin’, getaway
car—drivin’ old man who put out a few good records way
back when. Kinda like a black David Crosby, without the
Stills or Nash, right?

Noah Herschel Wildman

No. Shut up. James Brown is music, no more, no less.
Take all the hype, all the image — good and bad — and

chuck it out yo’ funky window. Mr. Brown is, like all of 4

us, flawed. His music is not. Why am I saying this?
Listen.

I’ve been in tune with James for a while now. Back four
years ago in my freshman year, I had a girlfriend who
was weird. That’s another story, but the point is she
introduced me to Mr. Brown’s music. In the past year I
picked up the Best of James Brown (volume two, no _
less) used on CD and was shocked. There was no “I
Feel Good.” No “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag.”
No “Sex Machine.” If you listen to commercial ,
radio, you'd think that was the only hits James
ever had. (Actually, he’s had more than 40 top,
40 hits on pop radio.) In this collection were
gems like “Cold Sweat,” “Please, Please,
Please” and “Night Train.” It rocked
(funked?) my world.

I had my birthday recently, and I g
took the plunge. I laid out sixty bucks
on the Star Time four-disc boxed set. §
Four hours. Fifty-three minutes. All
James. All Brown. And I listened to it|
all in one sitting. Uh!

James Brown is not the gravel-throated grunter that the
media would lead you to believe. In addition to ‘uh!’,
there’s also ‘huhhow"’, ‘goot god’, ‘eeeeh!’, ‘hit meh!’ and
‘waawaaaoh!’ Seriously, Mr. Brown’s trademark
elephantine farting noises only really became a cliche in
the latter part of his illustrious career. When he started
belching on his mid 70’s disco excursion, “Get Up Offa
That Thing (Release the Pressure),” “I’M BACK! I'M
BACK! I’M BACK!,” you know he was far gone.

If you, reader, were to listen to a James Brown album,
you'd get the strongest feeling of deja—vu. Beats,
horn-hits, vocal riffs and butt-shaking basslines from all
over Mr. Brown’s catalogue is a proverbial lexicon of
hip-hop.

No denying it, Mr. Brown is Black, with a capital B. In
the 60's, when the Black Panthers threatened his health for
being unprogressive (unpolitical lyrics, straightened hair),
Mr. Brown came out with “Say It Loud-I’m Black And I’m
Proud” and an afro. Unlike that Soul-stealing, marketing
strategy-created, studio hacks and a fatboy-band the
Commitments, James Brown really is.

’ James’ early career is marked
_ by the hard soul sound that made

Motown sound _ girly—wirly.
Monster hits like “Think,” “Out of
P Sight” and “Try Me” all share a
ound that pumps up R&B. His mid
period shows the appearance of his
reatest invention, funk. All his
@ known hits, plus ground breakers like
y “Funky Drummer,” “It’s a New Day”
and “Super Bad” radiate genius. In his
late period, even his corny, gruntin’ and
growlin’ disco thumpers still catch the ear
as inspired. (I don’t own any of his 80’s
stuff, like “Living In America” or the
new album, Universal James. It’s just
too sad.)

This is a great simplification
and injustice to Mr. Brown‘s huge
oeuvre. Don’t let my critic-speak
bullshit get you down. My words
may fail me, but the music will
grab you by the butt and make you swing it, swing it,
swing it. Grunge, Techno, Gangsta Rap, Metal got nothin’
on this man. The man’s got SOUL. When he hoots, “I am
FUNKY!,” he’s a hell of a lot more convincing than Prince
ever could be.

There are reasons Mr. James Brown has been called Mr.
Dynamite, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business,
Soul Brother #1, and the Godfather of Soul. Get up, get
into it, get involved! Don’t believe the racist media, go get
the records!

Big Wheel

Slowtown i

Mammoth Records ©

_ The band’s name is Big Wheel and the
big breakout album is entitled Slowtown.
The title doesn’t give any clue as to the
style of the music. But, then for that
matter neither does the cover (a picture of
the skeleton of a wooly mammoth).

I wish I could give you nice folks some
more information about this band but the
fact of the matter is...I don’t have any. My
éditor threw this across the news room
and said, “chew on this for awhile.” -

The first two songs “And You Shine,”
and “Down,” sound as if someone
shmoosed a little of the Spin Doctors and
a little of The Kinks together. Yes, I admit,
astrange amalgamation. __

I was then pleasantly surprised with the
next song, “Lied,” in that it was a slow
funky sort of song with a catchy beat.
Several other tunes had this nice sound
like “Daddy’s At The Wheel,” and “Lazy
Days.”

Big Wheel is memorable if not for the
slow tunes they can do, then for some of
the strange subjects that they cover like
“Pete Rose,” and “Bug Bites.”

Overall, I would give this new band the
benefit of the doubt and recommend them
if they come to your town.

Now on to the subject at hand.
There has been a great deal of talk
about technology in the last few
months. I will cover two of those:
interactive television and virtual
reality. The idea is that by using
optical technology (telephone wires),
computer technology, and your
television, you can be given hundreds
of channels (375 channels and
nothing on; puts a damper on that
Bruce Springsteen teen song, doesn’t
it), and even interact with them. If
you want to know what's on Channel
193 (HBO), you don’t have to watch a
preview channel and wait (It’s on
Channel 223 and still has to go
around again). You press a button,
and guess what, Ishtar is on HBO.
Doesn‘t seem much different from

But there’s more than just that. If,
for example, you are watching
Jeopardy, you can compete against
other viewers to see who can guess
the most answers. Let’s say you're
watching a football game. You can
compete against others and try to
guess what plays will be called. This
seems like a far-fetched concept. Not

only isn’t it far-fetched, but it exists
already. It has been tested for about a
year in certain areas. In fact, in the
case of thé football plays, it has
existed even longer on some bulletin
board systems as QB2.

Now on to the subject of virtual
reality, another technology that is
coming on to its own. Virtual reality
has been something that has been
talked about but not truly defined.
The idea is that you can use computer
technology to simulate a real life
situation. At an extreme use, it can be
used like the holodecks in Star Trek
The Next Generation or the Danger
Room in The X-Men. On a smaller
scale, by using computer goggles to
simulate sight, some form of
earphones to simulate sound, and
some other type of body costume to
simulate movement and feeling, you
can be put into a simulated situation.
In a few arcades in Japan and the
United States, there already exist
virtual reality arcade games.

There is another reason for the talk
about virtual reality. Virtual sex has
been the talk of late on many news
and talk shows. The idea is that you,
can simulate sexual contact with
virtual reality. Can you imagine,
instead of renting Debbie Does Dallas
from the video store, you can actually
rent Debbie. This is the future that has
been so controversial. As Dennis
Miller so eloquently stated, “This
would make Crack cocaine look like
Sanka.”

Recently, science fiction and fantasy
writer Piers Anthony (best known for
his Xanth series) wrote a book,
Killobyte which talks about the
potential future of virtual reality
video games and sex. Virtual reality
technology has a good deal of
potential. One possibility mentioned
in Killobyte is the idea of using virtual
reality to reform criminals. Also
realistic, although unmentioned in
this particular book, it can be used by

psychiatrists to help individual with
psychological problems. I can even
imagine this technology being used to
help students learn. Instead of little
Jimmy going on a nature hike
(assuming that there is such a thing as
nature in the future), he can go on a
virtual reality journey to see nature at
it’s best. This technology could even
simulate the smells of a forest. It can
be used to teach doctors about
surgery without having to risk the life
of a patient. And if the future doctor
does something wrong, he can go
through the procedure again. A
computer has a great deal more
patience than a teacher. An astronaut
can go through a procedure in space
more realistically and a lot less
dangerously than it can be done with
today’s technology. The potential is
endless for such a technology.

Tam one of the believers that such
a technology could be one of the
greatest inventions for mankind. Time
will tell.

LETTERS

Frats & Sororities
Spread Disrespect

To the Editor:

Witnessing fraternity pledges inanely bounce a
basketball in front of the Campus Center recently
confirmed my belief that most of the social fraternities
and sororities at this school are conformist groups
lacking individuality. Though their cause may be
admirable, I question their means of obtaining donations.
What is the purpose of bouncing a ball for 24 hours?
The activity itself appears pointless.

Equally futile are the see-saw and television
marathons. Once again, I acknowledge the charitable
themes involved, but couldn’t these organizations,
through their collective efforts, do something less
annoying and more constructive? For instance, in
celebration of the grand Greek Week fiesta, fraternities
and sororities may consider cleaning up their sordid
graffitti of letters throughout the campus.

Sororities and fraternities seem to lower weir status to
that of vandals by defacing classroom walls and desks.
Likewise, virtually every booth in the library is saturated
with scribbles of Greek letters. Where is the glory in
defacing school property?

Greek pride exhibited through disrespect for our
institution seems juvenile. More appropriate and more
mature signs of pride are window displays, clothing, and

and its creative magazine

approved banners in the Campus Center.

The banners and clothing lately are a joy to see.
Phrases like “everywhere you want to be,” “get out of the
cold, get into the gold,” and “life’s short, play hard” are
stolen and represent the Greeks’ lack of creativity. I
equate their originality with their display of
consideration. Both non-existent publicly.

During my four years here I have been subject to the
routine behavior of sororities and fraternities in the
library, destroying the basic atmosphere the library aims
to maintain. Such arrogant behavior seems so prevalent. I
expect it to senselessly continue, just like the bouncing
ball.

Symbols of African
Hope and Pride

I am writing once again to express my thoughts and
opinions about a letter written by Willie Williams in the
A.S.P. on March 29, It is quite evident that you are very
good at quoting from written documents which may or
may not have good intentions. What you must do is
observe the blatant discrepancies with the ideals and the
reality of certain documents, ie: the Community
Principles. In recent weeks I have read several debates in
the A.S.P. about the concept of RACISM. Racism is
(once again) the POWER to impose pejorative treatment
on a group. It is not bigotry, discrimination, prejudice
and hatred but a conglomerate of any one or more of
these beliefs and behaviors, plus the ability (POWER) to
treat an individual as an inferior.

For too long we have allowed the terms racism,
discrimination, bigotry and prejudice to be used
interchangeably. They are not one in the same term. Yes,
they are related but not the same. In saying that Africans
in America can and are racist is comparable to saying
that Jews who lived in Nazi Germany were racist for
their hostility towards Hitler and his ideology. The idea
of an oppressed group having the POWER to IMPOSE
UNFAIR treatment ‘on the dominant group is
LUDICROUS.

Racism is a very BIG concept. To understand its
intracies you must take-small slow bites of the sour
subject. If you do not realize that our Principles of a Just
Community are ideals then ask yourself why must this
debate be held? Yes, on paper the Emancipation
Proclamation said that Blacks were free from physical
bondage (or did it when in 1993 Black and Latino males
are being imprisoned at a rate of about 1,000 per month),
but the belief that Black people were and are inferior is
still very much present in every institution that Africans
interact with on a daily basis.

Directly reflecting on your letter, it is obvious that I
have resentment. Being able to express this hostility is a
positive thing. I have not focused solely on the problems
and deficiencies. I have also offered suggestions towards
decreasing ignorance and misunderstanding.My very
presence here at a predominantly white institution is
evidence of my optimism. My eight month-old daughter
is proof of hope for the future.

A Black mother’s very choice to bring a child into this
world is a symbol of hope. And lastly, in opening myself
up to criticism I am a symbol of hope. Yes, Mr.
Williams, I am hurt and resentful. What you fail to
understand is that Black people have a right to be angry
and hostile. Nobody ever says to the Jews, “Stop being
so angry at Hitler and the Nazis, it was an atrocity! What
has happened, happened, Stop blaming them and just get
over it already!” Well Black people had their Holocaust
too. Only we do not have to cross an ocean to see the
scars of hatred or the hate that hate created. We faced it
every single day of our lives as Africans in America. So
please do not patronize me. As a Black Women I am not
angry because it is good excuse to just be angry. My
anger is justified, true American history reveals this.

Finally, we all realize that those people who originally
enslaved Africans are no longer alive, yet their ideologies
still persist. I do blame them. I also blame white America
for closing their eyes to hundreds of years of suffering
while Blacks try to maintain some semblance of survival
as a people. For sitting year in and year out allowing a
comfortable system of oppression and inequality to ‘exist
in a country which always seems to butt into everyone
else’s human rights battles. As a nation, we need not look
to Bosnia or Vietnam or any nation for that matter. We
have our own battle to fight right here in the good ole’
USA. After I read your letter today, I sat down and read

Lear’s (magazine) March 1993. There was a interview
with Political Scientist Andrew Hacker, author of Two
Nations: Black, White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal, in
which he tells about enduring racial division in America.
Mr. Hacker made a statement which placed my thoughts
about your response to my recent works into perspective.
“T am not pessimistic about the future. But one has to
have a sense of history, and not just of the past as it was
but as it exists into the present. A fact of slavery (the
enslavement) is that is still exists as a mind-set, an idea
that Black people are still former slaves (enslaved) still
lingers in many white minds.” On a positive note (if itis
possible), I challenge you to take a class and learn about
Black America and come to an event. Simply put, get
involved and correctly informed. Lastly, I leave you with
the challenge to define people in your own context
without allowing the racist and sexist interpretation of
the media to define who and what we are. Let us
challenge the very authorities which tell us either directly
or indirectly that Black people are inherently inferior!

Graduate With
Kente Cloth

To the Editor:

Several weeks ago many of you may have received a
letter from Jacquline Bell and myself regarding Kente
cloth scarves for graduation. In this letter we and The
Multicultural Awareness Program extended our warmest
congratulations to the class of 1993. We pointed out that
for many of you graduation is an important
accomplishment and is just a milestone in the road to
greatness that lies ahead of you in your near future.
However, it did come to my attention that many students
of color did not receive our letter, for some reason or
another. We had no intention of excluding anyone from
participating in our celebration of unity. We feel that all
students of African and Latino descent should be a part
of what we are calling “Building a Foundation for
Unity.”

So for those who are unfamiliar with our idea, I will
explain it again. Other than just extending our
congratulations to the graduating class, the Multicultural
Awareness Program is hoping ‘that his letter will bring
together students of color in unison on a day that will
mean so much to you, your family, and your friends. Not
only is this day an important day to the people that are
close to you, but it is also a celebration of the struggle
that our ancestors made to make these four or five years
possible, We have-just begun to fulfill the Dreams of past
generations, and hopefully we just began to shape and
mold the Dreams of tomorrow’s generations.

To make this day forever engraved in our memories,
imagine students of African and Latino descent in their
cap and gowns with Kente Cloth added to the traditional
look. The Kente Cloth would be a symbol of our
collective struggle, accomplishments, and Dreams and a
tribute to our ancestors.

Many students have already expressed their
willingness to participate in our celebration, so we are
extending this invite one more time to all students who
have yet to reply or those who were not informed. So you
would like to join us in our celebration of unification
please contact Anita Grandy at 442-5920 or 442-6043 by
May 3. We have found two vendors that will provide the
Kente cloth scarves, one of these vendors offers a Kente
cloth scarves that says “Class of 1993.”

The other vendor will furnish us with samples of
cloths to choose from; hopefully, these sample will be
available to me by April 26. The price will range from
$10-$15 dollars; the more students that respond, the
more affordable the scarfs will be. Students that have a
sincere interest in the Kente cloth should reply as soon as
possible to ensure the arrival of their scarves before May
16.

Once again the Multicultural Awareness Program,
Jacqueline Bell, and myself would like to congratulate
the graduating class of 1993. Good Luck on all your
future endeavors.

“There has been much better
organization by our novice
coaches,” added Wootan.
Because of these efforts, Wootan
said, the crew program was able
to afford a new racing shell. The
women’s novice eight was the
first of the Albany crew teams to
race this new boat, at Pelham,
where they won their race,
Wootan said.

According to Wootan, a team
needs $50,000-$60,000 a year to
be competitive while Albany
operates with $20,000.

Despite the lack of funds, both
Lilly and Wootan said they were
pleased with how all the teams
were doing, given circum-
stances.

“We were in a different divi-
sion (last year). This year we'll
be competitive in the top divi-
sion,” Wootan said. “We have

Tennis loses critical

By Epwit FONTANILLA
Staff Writer

The Albany men’s tennis team scored
two overwhelming victories in the past
three matches. Unfortunately, the loss suf-
fered was in a critical match against
Skidmore College.

On April 17, Albany destroyed
Hartwick College nine matches to none.
Hartwick didn’t win any sets and none of
their players won more than six games.

Albany’s win last Wednesday also
proved to be a rout. The College of St.
Rose was also crushed by Albany, nine
matches to none. Once again, no one on
the opposition won any sets but there was
a tiebreaker won by junior Lee Veleanu,
7-6.

The team did not fare quite as well
against Skidmore College on April 18.
According to Coach Bob Lewis, he knew
that it would not be an easy match
because, at least on paper, Skidmore is a
better team.

Albany lost all three doubles matches.
The team of juniors Matt Presser and

Steve Cohen lost to their opponents in
three sets. They won the first set, 6-3.
The second set was dropped, 6-2.

Senior Adam Addelston and junior Jon
Rudnick lost to Skidmore’s Christian
Morris and Barret Lewis in three sets. The

Matt Presser scored an impressive win over his nationally ranked opponent.

match to Skidmore

and lost three. Presser won in three sets
against Skidmore’s Kyle Richter. Presser
lost the first set, 4-6, but took the next
two, 6-1, 7-5.

Addelston ran over his opponent in two
sets, 6-1, 6-2. Garnock also crushed his
opponent in two sets, 6-2, 6-2. Cohen,
however, lost in two sets, 6-1 and 64.

Rudnick went down in three sets. He
won the first set, 6-3, but then he pro-
ceeded to lose the next two sets, 6-1, 6-2.

“This was one of my best wins,”
Presser said. Presser’s opponent has been
nationally—ranked for the last three years.
Presser also commented on how well the
team performed considering that
Skidmore is a nationally—ranked team.

The team’s current record is twelve
wins and seven losses. For the spring sea-
son they have six wins and three losses.

The Danes will next compete on
Wednesday as they host Williams
College. The match is set to begin at 4:00
p.m.

April 27, 1993

By Patrick CULLEN
Managing Editor

Emotion may have gotten the best of Albany’s men’s
lacrosse team as it was defeated Saturday by Division II
third-ranked Springfield College (8-3) in a hard-fought
affair, 13-9.

The teams met up last year in Springfield, with the
Great Danes edging out an 8-6 win to open their season
on a winning note. There was no love lost when the two
met up on Albany’s lacrosse field on a chilly April after-
noon this year.

From the outset, the name of the game was physical
play. Numerous penalties were called on both sides,
including a number of unnecessary roughness infrac-
tions, which displayed first hand the contest’s physical
nature.

A war of words was also taking place on the field
between the Chiefs and the Danes (6-1) as the game
ensued.

“We lost our cool,” Albany head coach Steve O’Shea
said. “We were too much into emotions... we took our-
selves out of the game.”

Albany senior Paul Ramirez scored unassisted at 12:27
of the second quarter to make it a 4-2 Albany lead. Brian
Becht (four goals) kept Springfield within one going into
the half with a score at 6:31.

Tt was the third quarter that things started to unravel
and come apart for the Danes. The Chiefs would
outscore their opponents 7-2 in the period, turning a 4-3
deficit into a 10-6 lead.

Nick Savastano (two goals) launched a shot that beat
Albany sophomore goaltender Dave Crone (18 saves). It
tied the games at four goals apiece and was the first of
seven straight goals by the Chiefs.

Adam Smith (three goals, two assists) gave the Chiefs

the lead with an unassisted goal at 12:34.

Crone came up with a nice save at 12:05 on a shot by
Steve Plotkin, but Plotkin beat Crone a minute later
when he scooted a shot past the goaltender,

Less than a minute later, Doug Ballard scored from 15
feet away off an assist from Kevin Prestage (one goal,
one assist) to give Springfield a commanding 74 advan-
tage.

Goals from Smith, Brecht and Mark Anastas (one goal,
two assists) made it a 10-4 Chiefs’ lead late in the third
quarter.

Albany showed signs of life when it reeled off two
goals at the end of the period, one by sophomore Peter
White and the other by senior Tom Dumas (one goal, one
assist), to close within 10-6.

Senior Rob Morel continued Albany’s sudden resur-
gence when he scored off junior Kurt Randall’s pass
from behind the net . Senior Mike Tesoriero (three goals,
one assist) picked up a loose ball in the next minute and
shot it past Springfield goaltender Sean Quirk (17 saves)
to make it 10-8.

Savastano victimized Albany for his second goal off a
pass from Smith, bringing the score to 11-8. Seven sec-
onds later, Brecht cut the middle and received a nice pass
from Mark Theirault (two assists) to score.

Theirault assisted on Springfield’s final goal, by
Prestage, which made it 13-8.

Teseriero added a goal for Albany with three minutes
to go to make the final score 13-9.

“Tt was a question of could we rise to the challenge,”
Teseriero said. “It was war... (but) we committed dumb,
stupid penalties.”

“It’s always going to be emotional when we play these
guys,” O’Shea said. “Springfield is an excellent club.”

Albany will be defending its championship, which it
won for the first time last year with a 16-15 win over the
same Union Dutchmen that they will face on Wednesday.

Union had held a stranglehold on Capital Cup, win-
ning it five years in row before Albany took it away last
year.

Crew teams

The prestigious Penn Relays is sup-
posed to be a meet at which athletes can
compete against the best in the country
and put themselves to the test.

Albany’s men’s track and field team
took part in the Relays this past weekend,
but their times were not as good as
expected due to 45 degree temperatures
and an extremely strong wind.

The only person to qualify for Albany
in an individual event was sophomore Jay
Nixon, who competed in the pole vault.
Nixon was the only Division II athlete in
the event, placing a respectable 12th out
of 40 competitors.

He cleared the opening height of 15°, 6
1/2” but missed three straight attempts at
16’,1”, which is six inches higher than his
current school record.

The 4x400 meter relay team of fresh-
men Zamafa Chickwendu and David
Abraham, sophomore Melvin Keyes and
junior Howie Sellers placed fourth in their
heat of 13 with a time of 3:21.55. This is
the fastest time in New York State to date

Men’s Tennis

because defending NYS 4x400 meter
relay champion Binghamton State ran
3:22.76 in a different heat.

The shuttle hurdle relay team of Nixon,
sophomore Sean Condell, freshman Scott
Durivage and sophomore Oscar
Almendarez combined to place third in
their heat in 62.58 seconds.

In the 4x100 meter relay, the Danes had
some bad fortune. After a lead-off leg by
sophomore Keith Liburd there was a mis-
handling of the baton pass by sophomore
Kevin Alicea. Alicea started too early and
had to almost stop and turn around to
receive the pass. Strong efforts by Keyes
and Condell could not make up the differ-
ence as Albany finished near the back in a
disappointing 44.1.

This is only the second time these four
tunners have run together in this relay and
Albany coach Roberto Vives is optimistic
about their future.

“We need to work on our passing, but
we have the talent,” Vives said,

As day became night, the last event, the
sprint medley relay, began. Led off by
strong 200 meter legs by Liburd (22.3)
and Keyes (22.5) the Danes were in the

lead pack after two legs. Junior David
White took the baton from Keyes, but was
too tight and ran a disappointing 52.8 sec-
ond 400 meters. Sellers put up a valiant
effort to catch the pack but to no avail as
Albany missed the finals with a time 3:34.

Albany will now start its championship
season, where all of the meets are impor-
tant. With only two real meets, one would
have to wonder if the Danes are ready.

“I wish we had another meet to pre-
pare,” Vives said.

First up for the Danes are the Collegiate
Track Conference Championships to be
held this weekend. Albany will face its
toughest challenge to date as they meet
indoor CTC champion Southern
Connecticut State, Montclair State (N.J.),
which is ranked fourth in Division IIT
nationally, and Division II powerhouse
New York Tech.

However, the team is really preparing
for the NYS Championships, to be held in
two weeks at Albany. The Danes are the
three-time defending champions and are
expecting tough competition from
Binghamton State and Fredonia State.
