Siena school paper blasted

By Morgan Lyle
and Bryan Sierra

In a controversy similar to that surrounding
Hokum magazine, editors of the Siena College
newspaper face judicial board charges after
publishing a parody issue.

The Promethean, a weekly paper published by.
Siena students, ran an eight page parody insert
inside its Wednesday, November 29 issue. The
parody, called the Prophylactic, quickly drew the
wrath of students and administrators.

The First Admendment under fire:
See story, page 6; column and editorial, page 12

According to Promethean news editor Dan
Pickett, charges brought against the editors could
have results ranging from a slap on the wrist to
expulsion. Student government officials have said
they want the paper’s three top editors to resign,
The students expect to find out today from the
administration representative to the judicial board
what charges, if any, they face. These charges,
Pickett said, are based on interpretations of student
guidelines.

At SUNYA, Hokum, which had its student
funding frozen, had been harshly criticized by
some student leaders. The editors of Hokum do not
face any judicial board action. The Promethean
also receives funding from Siena student activity
fee

Lisa Marie White, the assistant director of public
relations at Siena, said that no action had been
taken against the newspaper or any individuals yet.
She explained that the administration, under
college guidelines cannot censor any publication.
However, students are bound to be fair, accurate

and responsible under college freedom of speech
and expression clauses.

White said one of the more controversial items
in the parody was a lampoon of a popular Dewar’s
whiskey advertisement. The ad “profiled” Siena’s
president, Father William McConville, and
contained several “unsavory comments,” she said.
McConville, in the tradition of all Siena
presidents, is a Franciscan friar.

“It was pretty offensive, considering we’re
talking about a priest here,” White said.

Pickett said the ad,which gave pieces of
information about the profiled character, read “His
hootch: ‘I like my booze like I like my women -
cheap and fast.” Night Train on the rocks.”

White read a statement issued by McConville,
who is now in Europe on business: “I believe in
satire and read and enjoy Aristophanes and Swift.
To be successful, satire should be artful and
insightful. Unfortunately, the Promethean’s efforts
are neither.”

“Campus reaction has caused our student affairs
staff to review the college’s code of Rights and
Responsibilities. They are looking to see if the
Promethean may have disregarded standards it
agreed to as a student activity. If it appears they
did, the student judicial board will conduct a
hearing.”

“In no way is this process intended to restrict
either freedom of the press or of expression,” the
statement read.

However, Pickett appeared angry by the events.
“Basically, we're just really disturbed and
surprised. It’s just been totally blown out of
proportion.” He said the administration has
reacted to the opinions of reacted to the opinions

Students claim harassment
Pan-Caribbean carnival disrupted

By Catherine Hoey
STAFF WRITER

A weekend of enjoyment was
tuined for members of Pan-
Caribbean Associations
throughout New York State
because of alleged racial

On November 17 and 18,
students from about 30 different
schools stayed overnight in the
Holiday Inn on Vestal Parkway
while attending the annual Pan-
Caribbean carnival held at
Binghamton.

Carol Archer, former president
of the Pan-Caribbean club at
Binghamton, said students from
John Jay School of Criminal

Justice were accused of creating
disturbance. She said when she
went to check on the complaint,
there was no noise, but three
different policemen came to the
room, one accompanied by a
police dog. Archer said the
students claimed that the police
were discriminating against them.

The Pan-Caribbean students
had events on campus on
Binghamton Friday until 3 a.m.,
and all afternoon and Night on
Saturday. Students also attended
an off-campus party at the local
Jewish Community Center until 6
a.m. Sunday. Archer said police
were at the hotel at 8 a.m on
Saturday morning, and seven
police officers were still on call
when the students returned on
Saturday evening. “The police
were patrolling the hallways
telling students to get into
rooms,” Archer said.

General manager, Robert La
Rue, said that it is common
practice of the hotel to have
police patrolling when rooms are
occupied with large groups. “On
any weekend we have ski groups,
the community police patrol the
building,” La Rue said.

The Vestal Police Department
also said that patrolling hotels
and other businesses is part of

their routine.

Neither La Rue or the Vestal
Police Department would
comment on the accusation of
discriminatory attitudes of the
policemen towards the students,

Upon arrival at the hotel,
students were required to pay the
full amount for the weekend
before receiving keys. Archer
said that this was the first time
students were ever required to do
this. She said they had not been
informed when they made the
reservations that it would be the
case. ~

La Rue said, “This policy is
common practice for many hotels
when customers do not have a
valid credit card to insure
payment with.” He said he was
not manager of the hotel last
year, and this policy was not
enforced. He said students left
last year without paying and
those bills are still outstanding,

Archer said the students
“discussed the matter with the
manager and tried to work things
out.”

La Rue said he had spoken
with some students before they
checked out, and he said they
could not point to any specific
incidents that would support their
discriminating complaints.

APD under scrutiny

By Tom Marsh

The Arbor Hill community center was the sight of a panel
discussion this past Saturday, which focused on the allegations that
the Albany Police Department (APD) is conspiring to systematically
harass*Black-and Hispanic) people of the area’ by the use of racial
profiles and physical abuse.

The forum, sponsored by the Coalition Against Apartheid and
Racism (CARR), consisted of Alice Green, Executive Director of the
New York Civil Liberties Union, Terence L. Kindlon, an attomey
who investigated the police drug’ sweeps at the Greyhound bus
station, and Merton Simpson, the co-chair of the Coalition Against
Apartheid and Racism,

William Payne, a private investigator and former Albany City
Police Officer and William Benton, a clinical supervisor of
alcoholism services at the Whitney M. Young Health Clinic, were
also expected to participate in the panel, but failed to show,

Green, who has a Ph.D. in criminal justice, explained that the
disproportionate number of Black and minority prisoners and
incarcerations is the criminal justice system taking over where
slavery left off in suppressing the Black community, Out of the
52,000 people in the state’s prison system, Blacks and Hispanics
comprise 43,000 of total prison population, 82 percent of the total.
Blacks alone consist of 27,000 of the prison population, 50 percent
of the total, according to CAAR statistics,

“After the Civil War, 33 percent of the prisoners were Black, 10
years later Blacks comprised of 42 percent of the prison population
and it has continued to rise ever since,” Green said.

According to Green, the criminal justice system introduces Blacks
and Hispanics into the legal system early, giving them a criminal
record which makes it hard for them to get. job when they get out.
This in turn leads to frustration and has a negative impact on the
families involved, he said.

Green also noted that the New York State prison system
economically supports many upstate towns where county jails are the
main industry,

Green also pointed much of the blame toward a legal system
which he said has abandoned rehabilitation in favor of warehousing
of criminals.

Green said the police are using racial profiles that target Blacks
and Hispanics as drug suspects.

“The war on drugs is a camouflage to harass Blacks and
Hispanics,” Green said. He said if a man is Black and walking down
a street in Albany, chances are he will be stopped, taken into custody,
and chances are if problems‘arise, he will be beaten and jailed.

Kindlon, who has observed the conduct of the police during the
Greyhound drug sweeps said the police were “quite simply grabbing
Black and Hispanics into the men’s and women’s:room and
subjecting them to strip searches.”

Kindlon also retold a story of one of his clients, James Lunday,
who was allegedly harasses and beaten by Albany Police undercover
officers for the crime of “being Black and on the street.”

The Word

Suspect identified

Uppsala, Sweden
(AP) A Swedish court identified a
Palestinian living in Sweden as a suspect
in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 and
approved the seizure of evidence during a
raid on his apartment last week.

The District Court, granting a request
by Scottish detectives to authorize the
seizure of 15 bags of clothing, said it
found Mohammed Abo Talo “is suspected
in Scotland of murder or as an accessory
to murder.”

The court said the clothing taken one
week ago from Abo Talo’s apartment “can
be presumed to carry significance for the
investigation” and the seizure was
therefore legal.

It was believed to be the first time a
suspect has faced a court proceeding for
the explosion Dec. 21, 1988 of the Pan
Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland that
killed 270 people.

Government resigns

East Berlin,East Germany
(AP) Communist Party leader Egon Krenz
and his entire government resigned on
Sunday, and a 25-member panel of
reformers took over temporary leadership
in a desperate effort to rescue the
Communist Party.

The dramatic, unprecedented action,
announced by megaphone to a cheering
crowd, stripped Krenz of power less than
six weeks after he replaced hard-liner
Erich Honecker. Krenz was not named to
the new panel, which will lead the country
until a party congress later this month.

It was the shortest reign of any East
German leader in the country’s history.
However, Krenz retains the largely
ceremonial position of president.

Krenz opened the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9
and had promised democratic reforms
including free elections, but there were
increased calls for his ouster even within
the party because of his past links to
Honecker’s rule.

Vessel is captured

Cape Canaveral, Florida
(AP) The Navy overpowered Greenpeace
anti-nuclear protesters today, disabling
and capturing their vessels before
successfully test-launching a Trident 2
missile from a submerged submarine.

The $26.5-million missile was
launched from the nuclear-powered
submarine Tennessee, 50 miles from the
Florida coast, the Navy announced. The
success put the Trident 2 program on
track after two explosive failures in the
first three underseas tests.

The Navy said its ships had to
“shoulder” aside a large ship carrying
protesters and catch and tow high-speed
rats, called Zodiacs, from the launch area.

Greenpeace USA peace activists said

the MV Greenpeace with 25 people
aboard was “dead in the water” after a
Navy vessel poured water down its smoke
stacks into the engine room. Greenpeace
had sent the ship and the rafts into the area
in an effort to halt the Trident 2 flight, just
as it had done successfully with a similar
intrusion on another launch attempt on
July 28.

Thousands of requests for installation,

Students demand end to Salvador involvement

By Eric Coppolino
N.Y .S. Student Leader

The State University’s state-wide
organization of graduate students has
demanded an end to United States
involvement in El Salvador’s civil war, a
sentiment spreading rapidly among
students on SUNY campuses.

The United Graduate Student
Organizations, a coalition of SUNY

government to terminate its $4.1 billion
annual military aid to El Salvador and to

According to Chris Adams, managing
editor of RPI’s student newspaper, The

was how new New York State laws will
affect alcohol policy on campuses.

Adams said, one of the concerns
raised by students attending the
conference was whether the RPI
administration will make changes in
current alcohol policy. A possible
solution, Adams said, is dry areas on
campus in order to avoid law suits.

remove all military advisors - many of
whom are reportedly stationed there
illegally - from the eleven-year-old civil
war.

The coalition, which represents about
10,000 graduate students at Albany,
Buffalo and Binghamton, sent its action to
Federal legislators and President Bush last
week.

“An attack on any institution of
learning is an attack on all institutions of
learning,” explained Jane Ely, president of
the Graduate Student Association at the
University Center at Stony Brook. Ely
said the recent murder of six Jesuit priests
at the University of El Salvador and the
continued attacks on civilian
neighborhoods are “atrocities that we
have to speak out against. This is
something we cannot allow to continue,
against any group of people. We have no
right to interfere, and we are interfering
by supplying weapons to one side or the
other.”

Demonstrations and other direct actions
have taken place, or are planned, at the
University Centers at Albany,
Binghamton, and Buffalo, at colleges at
Brockport, New Paltz and Oswego, and at
numerous City University and private
school campuses across the state.

At Stony Brook last week, the Students’
Emergency Committee Against the War in
El Salvador organized “street theater” in
cafeterias and classrooms to communicate
their anti-war message, and organized
other direct actions and protests aimed at
legislators, according to Tim Dubnau, the
committes co-chair.

The group last week held a “die in” and
silent, candle light funeral procession
march led by students holding a casket.
Dubnau said that students at Stony Brook
were also “tabling constantly” and
aggressively urging their legislators to
take “leading roles” in Congress.

“SUNY is erupting,” said Jeff Herzog,
an organizer for the Committee. In
Solidarity with the People of El Salvador
(CISPES), which is assisting student

groups by providing up-to-the-day
military dispatches, organizing materials,
and direct contact with Salvadorians
involved with the Democratic movement
on both sides of the border.

“['t’s critical that students get involved
Tight now because if there is a Vietnam-
style escalation in El Salvador, which
[President] Bush has not ruled out, it will
be young people, particularly people of
color, who are sent to fight, just like in
Vietnam,” Herzog said.

“Just last week, Bush said he has not
ruled out any options” after sending
between 200 and 500 elite Delta Force
troops to El Salvador to test the political
response in the US.

“According to the New York Times, US
advisors have been seen in combat zones.
It’s going to be up to young people and
working people in the US to say no to El

Salvador.” It was also reported that
several advisors were held hostage for
several hours two weeks ago.

SUNY’s Dutchess Community College

Escort service program expands hours

By P.J. Marcus
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Students on the SUNY Albany Campus
are fortunate. No student has to walk by
themselves at night. All they have to do is
call the Don’t Walk Alone safety escort
service.

On Sunday through Thursday nights,
the service is open from 8:00 p.m. until
11:00 p.m. from the uptown campus
library, and on Monday through Thursday,
the service is available on the graduate
campus downtown from 8:30 pm until 10

This year, for the first time, the service
is also available on Friday and Saturday
nights. Sigma Nu fraternity and sorority
Alpha Omicron Pi run the program on
those nights from the Campus Center
information desk from 10:30 pm until
12:30 pm.

Carol Hall, coordinator, runs the
program Sunday through Thursday. The
program is also run by several student
captains. Hall said she and the captains
“work together as a team.”

Some of the captains receive three
academic credits through the community
service, but many work on a volunteer
basis only. The students who work on the
safety patroles are also volunteers.

While Hall said the service has many
volunteers now, but that they could
always use more. There have been
requests for more service and longer
hours, but she said right now the program
just doesn’t have enough people on the

SAFETY ESCORT SERVICE

staff to implement such changes.

Hall said Don’t Walk Alone also would
like more female volunteers. The ideal
situation, according to Hall, is to have at
least one woman on each escort team.
Escorts are always sent out in teams of
two . The reason that teams should ideally
have one woman on them is for the peace
of mind of some of the female customers
of the service. Some women are
apprehensive about being escorted by two
unfamiliar men. When a team with at least
one woman is unavailable, the person
calling will be informed of that fact, and
asked if it is alright. Hall said some people
then decline the escort.

Hall said that the service also has what
it calls the Adopt-a-Night program for
groups. One group adopts a night of the
week, and every week on that night, the
group sends two volunteers per hour. This
semester, 14 groups are participating in
this program, including Greek

organizations and other student clubs.
Hall said, “We're really indebted to those
groups.”

Hall said volunteers must commit
themselves for the entire semester. She
said if students did not commit, but rather
showed up when they felt like it, the
service would often be left unable to
function on some nights.

“The program is for everybody,” Hall
said. “We welcome all to volunteers, and
we welcome all to use the service.”

Nick Dinisio, coordinator of the Friday
and Saturday night program for Sigma
Nu, said that the program was established
this year because the regular Don’t Walk
Alone didn’t provide service on the
weekends, when some students need it the
most.

Dinisio also stressed the need for a
woman on each escort team. He said that
the program needs a female escort corps
to run the program effectively. This
semester, the pledges of Pi Sigma Chi
have served as escorts on Saturday nights.
Now, Alpha Omicron Pi is running the
program with Sigma Nu, providing
female volunteers for the escort crews.

Dinisio also mentioned that Little
John’s Pizza has sponsored the program,
by supplying two pizzas per night for the
escort crews.

The service will escort you anywhere
on campus. The number for the Don’t
Walk Alone service is 442-5511, seven
nights a week.

Stress from ‘test anxiety’ causes
physical and emotional symptoms

By Middle Earth Staff

From sweaty palms to stomach aches, most of us have experienced some form of test
anxiety. Many students experience dreams in which they had to take a final exam in a
course they never attended or they were unable to find the room to which they were
supposed to report. This experience is far from uncommon, especially with finals week
rapidly approaching. While a certain amount of anxiety is inevitable, there are
strategies you can use to effectively improve your test-taking and to reduce the amount
of stress you experience during exam time.

The term “test anxiety” encompasses several factors. We are all familiar with the
various physical reactions to stress, such as shakiness ora rapid heart rate. Negative
thinking will also often accompany anxiety fraught test situations. Some examples of
such thinking might be “I know I’m going too far,” or “There’s no way I can learn
everything in time.” Test anxiety may further manifest itself in your behavior
concerning preparation and the actual test taking. Many students find themselves often
being late for exams, or avoiding preparing for the exam because they feel there is too
much to cover. It is important to be aware of this behavior in order to try and overcome
it.

These aspects of test anxiety can result in undue stress, and are likely to affect your
grades. ae as

For those of you who have, experienced any or all of these similar symptoms, it is
possible to alleviate this stress and to improve your test performance. It is important to
identify the feelings and behavior that are interfering with successful test-taking to
begin to manage those deterrents.

The bodily reactions to stress are probably best managed by a physical type of
strategy. The best technique is relaxation training. You simply lighten and release
various muscles in your body in a systematic manner until your entire body is relaxed.
For example, if your neck or shoulder areas are tense, you raise your shoulders so that
they are almost touching your ears. Then you drop your shoulders and release the
tension. Several repetitions may be necessary. Through such a process you can become
familiar with the specific areas in your body that tend to bear the brunt of the stress you
experience during a test situation. : 5

It is important to be aware of you are thinking about yourself prior to and during the
test. Be honest with yourself about your successes and failures. Ask yourself if you are
really doing poorly in comparison to everyone else. If you aren’t then you may be
imposing more stress on yourself that is necessary or helpful. If you do find that you
are not on par with many students, using these techniques can be especially valuable. ;

Try to keep in mind that one exam is not a measure of your value as a person. Don’t
fall into the trap of measuring your self-worth in terms of your test performance.

It is helpful to be aware of what you are saying to yourself during the test. When you

physique, dancing, and a high score on
the applause meter. There will also be
raffles, T-shirts, and $1 drink specials.

13 out of 16 Fraternities are
participating in the event. At least 90
percent of the greek community are
expected to be there, saidAdam Bell,
president Tau Epsilon Phi. Bell also said
he estimates the event will be attended
by 1000 people.

The price of admission is $4 for
greeks, and $5 for non-greeks.

Frats play hoops

The “First Annual Fraternity
Challenge Basketball Classic” will be
held at the University gym at 6:45 pm on
Tuesday.

This is actually the second game put
together by SUNYA’s Pan-Hellenic and
Inter Fraternity Council groups, but the
format is different this year, causing the
event to be renamed.

Last year’s game featured a Pan-
Hellenic team playing against an IFC
team. In an effort to promote Greek
Unity, the teams this year are mixed.
Each Pan-Hellenic organization will
send two representatives and each IFC
organization will send one. This is to
compensate for the larger number of IFC
groups. IFC and Pan-Hellenic also
named one coach each. The teams were
chosen via a draft system by the two
coaches after two practices, according to
a printed statement,

Each Fraternity participating in the
event was required to make a $25
donation. There is a $2 entry fee to
attend the event. The money will be
divided between IFC and Pan-Hellenic,
with each organization donating their
share to a local charity of their choice.

Beyond the Majority

Roots celebrated early with African holiday

By Stephanie Moore
MINORITY AFFAIRS EDITOR
Once again it is time to
count our blessings. We have
made it through another year
safe and sound despite the
obstacles that obstruct our path.
We have come together in unity
to celebrate Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa
is a Kiswahili word of the East
African
taneuage OPINION
that means “the first” or “the first
fruits of the harvest”. In 1966, a
Black Studies professor , Dr.
Maulana Karenga, formulated
the cultural idea of Kwanzaa as
an expression of the nationalist
U.S. organization Dr. Karenga
headed.

If you have never heard of
Kwanzaa, the reason may be that
it is neither a religious, political,
or heroic holiday but one that is
cultural. Kwanzaa is celebrated
annually from Dec. 26 through
Jan. 1 and pays homage to the
rich cultural roots of African-

American history (Africa).
Although Kwanzaa is observed
during the Christmas season,
those who celebrate it do not
disregard the traditional
Christmas holiday nor does
Kwanzaa serve as a Christmas
replacement. It is simply giving
African-Americans an alternative
to Christmas which is indicative
of meaning, purpose, and self-
identity. Furthermore, African-
Americans will still be part of
the holiday season. Kwanzaa,
like Christmas, involves the act
of gift giving however high
expenses is not a prerequisite.
Gifts exchanged are suggested to
be more personal and involve
creativity which is exhibited as
being handmade or functional
like a book.

Kwanzaa is based on seven
fundamental principles which are
referred to as the Nguzo Saba.

They are as follows:
1. Umoja (Unity) -To strive for

and maintain unity in the family,
community, nation and race.

2. Kujichagulia (Self-
determination) - A commitment
to the principle and practice of
defining, defending, naming, and
developing ourselves instead of
being defined, named, defended,
created for and spoken for by
others.

3. Ujima (Collective Work and
Responsibility) - A commitment
to active and informed
togetherness on matters of
common interest.

4. Ujama (Cooperative
Economics) - a commitment to
the principle and practice of
shared wealth and resources.

5. Nia (Purpose) - A
commitment to the collective
vocation of building, defending,
and developing our national
community in order to regain our
historical intiative and greatness
as a people.

6. Kuumba (Creativity) - A
commitment to the principle and

practice of building rather than
destroying, of positive proactive
construction rather than reactive
destruction. (We must leave our
community more beautiful and
beneficial than we inherited it.)

7. Imani (Faith) - A
commitment to ourselves as
persons and a people and the
righteousness and victory of our
struggle. These seven principles
of Kwanzaa, may serve as
guides for daily living.

There are various ways of
celebrating Kwanzaa one of
which is to prepare a table with a
place mat (Mkeka) usually made
of straw, a candleholder for
seven candles (Kinara), seven
candles (Mishumaa Saba), a
variety of fruit (Mazao), ears of
corm (Vibunzi) representing the
number of children in the home,
gifts if any (Zawadi), and a unity
or communal cup (Kikombecha
Umoja) for pouring and sharing.
Basically, each day of Kwanzaa

a candle should be lit, with a
black one placed in the center of
the candle holder, three green
candles on the left, and three red
on the right. The importance that
each principle has for the person
reciting it should be expounded
upon other suggestions,

Due to preparation of finals
and final exams, Kwanzaa will
be observed and celebrated by
the University community
beginning Dec. 4th. The offset of
this celebration began with an
international extravganza
(Umoja) combined with a
discussion led by Dr. Vivian
Gordon. This discussion
addressed unity. Today’s events
will include a panel discussion
concerning cooperative
economics, self-determination,
and other related topics. Other
events throughout the celebration
of Kwanzaa will be posted in an
area near you very soon! JOIN

Continued from Front page
of just a few angry people,
and that the clauses upon
which they are charging
the editors are subjective
and open to interpretation.

Pickett maintained that
the section was “clearly
labelled as a parody” and
read “Special Pullout
(Parody) section - pages 3
through 10.” Pages one,
two, eleven and twelve
were devoted to regular
news articles and
advertisements, Pickett
said.

Another item of
controversy, Pickett said,
was a section called “The
Fifth Column,” which has
been a regular feature of
the paper for more than
two years, but has never
generated the controversy
it has in the parody issue.

He said the section,
which targeted elected
students, other students,
administrators and
athletics, is a humor
section that uses College
Press Service cartoons,
staff writing and his own
writing. It had never been
labelled as a parody,
including times when he’s
accused a priest of lacing
his beer and a nun of
selling sex. “It’s always
been taken as a joke,” he
added.

The parody issue was a
decision of the editorial

board, composed of
Pickett, Editor in Chief
Peter Ramos and Managing
Editor Frank T. Walsh, Jr.
However, Pickett added
that the parody was a
collective effort of the
whole staff.

While White said that
any action taken would be
geared towards individuals,
and not the Promethean as
a whole, Pickett said that
the case is currently called
“Siena College vs. the
Promethean,” and that
possible action may be
taken against people other
than Pickett, Ramos, and
Walsh. One student has
circulated a petition calling
for the resignation of the
three, based on liable or
character defamation.
However, all sanctions
would be handled
internally, within the
college, and a civil suit is
unlikely, Pickett said.

Art Sauer, vice president
of the Student Senate, said
he and other student
senators want to see the
three top editors removed
from the paper. “It lacked
any kind of journalistic
professionalism...it was
beyond parody. It was just
a piece of trash.”

The paper violated three
or four articles of the
college’s constitution,
Sauer said, and added, “I
definitely don’t think they
labelled it clearly enough

as a parody.”

Officially, there has been
no stand taken by the
student senate, and their
funds have not been
frozen. Sauer said the
newspaper will continue to
publish next semester, but
he hoped the judicial board
hearing would take place
before the end of this
semester.

The newspaper, which
hit distribution points
Wednesday, was recalled
and collected by
Promethean staff
members, Sauer said. “By
Thursday, they were all
gone. They went really
quickly,” White added.

Pickett said he didn’t
believe that the hearing
would be conducted until
next semester, because
there are only two
academic weeks left. He
said that the editors have
been in contact with
student press lawyers in
Washington D.C., and are
seeking the support of the
local media and of area
student publications. He
said, however, that the
whole series of events has
been confusing.

“It’s really kind of a
surreal situation...I don’t
know what’s been going
on.” Pickett said he’s not
sure exactly what about the
issue is being targeted, and
is not sure how any legal
investigations into the

Promethean’s following
of college guidelines will
determine their fate.

“I’m totally dismayed
by the whole situation,”
Pickett said. “I’m
embarassed for the
school...I’m really
embarassed.”

“The worst thing for
Siena is a measles
epidemic...because it gives
them a negative image.
That’s why they have such
a strong public relations
department,” he added.
Siena college had most
campus activities,
including _ basketball
playoffs, disrupted due to a
measles epidemic last year.

Pickett said the
Promethean will continue
as planned for now. “There
will be an issue on Friday,
the last of the year. We
want to show that we’re
still doing a good job, and
maybe we just lapsed in
our judgement once.”

According to the story,

they continued to beat him.

Lunday has filed a civil
suit against the APD that is

Kindlon also made the
allegation that one Albany
Police officer was using a
baseball bat to threaten and
influence suspects in
custody, according to
various reports and
documented cases. He
even said he had the
officer’s name but refused
to reveal it.

Aspects on Tuesday

Wilbur's Poetry of Discovery

Richard Wilbur is one of the most
original, accomplished, and rewarding
modern poets. In The Times Litera:
Supplement Anthony Hecht described
Wilbur’s poetry as displaying “...wit,
polish, a formal elegance that is never
haughty or condescending...an
unfeigned gusto, a naturally happy
and grateful response to the physical
beauty of life, of women, of works of
art, landscapes, weather, and the
perceiving, constructing mind that
tries to know them... his is the most
kinetic poetry I know: verbs are among
his most conspicuously important
tools, and his poetry is everywhere a
vision of action, of motion and
performance.”

Megan McNiff

Wilbur’s appearance at the SUNY
Performing Arts Center on November
30 was fascinating and memorable. He
is a modest man who finds beauty and
delight in all aspects of life. His keen
eye and tremendous sensitivity are
exhibited in the brilliance of his poetry.

Wilbur received his A.M. from
Harvard. He is the author of numerous
books of poetry, the winner of the
National Book Award, two Pulitzer
Prizes, and is one of the outstanding
translators of our time. His version of
Moliere’s Tartuffe was co-recipient of
the Bolligen Poetry translation prize.

Wilbur has taught at Harvard,
Wesleyan, and Smith. In 1987 he was
named the second Poet Laureate of the
United States.

Wilbur began his reading with
“Beasts”. This poem is about the
precarious condition of mankind —
somewhere in between the beasts and
the angels. It contains fantastic and

powerful images and contrasts, but is
at the same time a very simple

contemplation on our place in the
universe.

He followed “Beasts” with “In the
Field”, which is about a man and a
woman who go out into a field at night
and look at all the stars. The two go to
bed, then get up the next morning and
return to the field, which they find, in
the daylight, is filled with flowers. It is
a very romantic, but very real look at
the sublimity of nature.

He continued with “Transida”,
“Hamlin Brook”, and “Nasty Young
Man”. The subjects of these poems
differ, but their structure is similar.
Wilbur seems to begin most of his
poems with a description — of a scene
in nature, a person, or an everyday
occurrence — and then cleverly twists
his observation to make some moral,
or even metaphysical point.

His poetry is never preachy, though;
never despairing or sour. It is almost
always good humored, and even when
questioning life, or people, is at the
same time admiring of the
complexities and difficulties of the
human experience. Wilbur sees even
the most mundane things freshly — he
respects the individuality of absolutely
everything, and with such an attitude
is able to break through and capture a
true uniqueness in all that he writes
about.

Wilbur continued with a reading of
“Song”, a translation of the work by a
Brazilian poet, Venessius Gimorias.
This is a particularly bitter-sweet
poem, in which the author expresses
great hope and joy in his living
daughter, but also tremendous despair
and sadness over the stillborn death of
his first child, and the fear he will
always carry of losing his living
daughter as well.

Wilbur read more of his work

including “The Writer”, “Love Calls

Us to Things of This World”, “A

Grasshopper”, and “The Undead”. He
amused the audience with some
riddles he had translated, and then
finished up with excerpts from
Opposites, a whimsical book “for
children and others”.

Richard Wilbur is an extremely
gifted man, and one who is whole-
heartedly devoted to his craft. He
stated, “Poetry is an act of discovery
for me... It is the great truth telling
art.” The importance of writing and
studying poetry, he feels, is that “it
enables us to escape our own
muteness.” Poetry is not only
therapeutic, however. It is also one of
the most effective and powerful means
of communication — a manner in
which we can express to one another
our truest selves, thoughts, and
visions. Richard Wilbur has
accomplished this, and in so doing has

undoubtedly touched many minds
and lives,

Tartuffe at PAC

>

It is said that comedy is the
most powerful remedy of pain.
Implicit in the direction of humor there
is a taste which ignites subtly and
finesse. It is that which makes the
receiver slap his sides with convulsive
glee. The hearty “belly laugh” is one of
the most glorious sounds of human
expression. Critics have said that the
French playwright Moliere is one who
has the magnificent gift of capturing a
farcical humor; his plays, for over 300
years have entranced audiences.

Ariane Kamp

However, director Albert
Asermely’s interpretation and

direction of Tartuffe, performed in the ,

Performing Arts Center Studio
Theater, weakens this Molierian trait.
He depicts Tartuffe,(Glenn Fleshler), a
fraudulent holy man who ultimately
schemes to rob the wealthy yet
oblivious Orgon(Patrick Trainor), as a
Jesus Christ figure. This added serious
undertone to the production which
stifled the comical nature and release
thereof. It was criticized that “the
melodramatic esthetic value ultimately
was used to cut Asermely’s throat,

despite his destiny.”

The opening scene set the
mood and tone of the production, but
was serious, didn’t really achieve the
goal for an intro scene, and was not as
liberated as was expected for Moliere’s
wit. Big disappointment. Blocking was
not purposeful and creative, and this
compounded a weak element in the
performance, in how the characters
related to each other. W e saw two-
dimensional characters sometimes
acting as mere puppets told where to

0.
g Nonetheless, the acting was
very good, and the production
enjoyable. Mme. Pernelle, Orgon’s
Mother (Jack Richtman), plays a
flamboyant theatrical highly cynical
and scolding grandmother. His acting
is in true Molierian spirit. Dorine
(Tammy Smith), Mariane’s (Orgon’s
daughter) lady’s maid, plays the wise
matchmaker. Tammy’s acting is
genuine and reassuring. Valere (Emile
Bernadot) is perhaps the character who.
brings light to the whole production.
He is in love with Mariane and acts as
a hero when the family is in trouble,
thus proving his gallant and
chivalrous manner.Bernadot has an
excellent stage presence, as does the
Police Officer (Thomas Eldering)who

enters at the peak of turmoil to bring
the King’s god-like kindhearted news.
Orgon’s misfortune and poor
judgement which persuaded him to
give Tartuffe all his worldly
possessions, even his wife and
daughter is forgiven. Trainor’s style is
two-dimensional and not extremely
convincing. Fleshler’s ( Tartuffe) acting
was believable, although he seamed to
accept his final ill fate willingly.

Elmire (Sonia Zizilas), Orgon’s
loving wife, fit the role as seductress
perfectly. However, in the pivotal
scene where Tartuffe’s true intentions
of having Elmire as his own are
revealed, we are a bit disappointed in
the ‘conservative’ seduction. It would
have been more enticing if Flesher
conveyed the devilish and passion
filled act with more vigor.

It would also have been nice if
we got to see more of Danis (John
Nagle), Orgon’s son, and Cleante
(Peter Wilson), the wise voice of reason
to appreciate their personas. Mariane’s
(Debra Joy Levins) character could
have been more developed, although
we see her independence and
development grow in later acts.
Levins’s interpretation of Mariane was
confusing; was she 7- years-old, or 21

In her room at the prow of the

Where light breaks, and the
windows are tossed with linden,

My daughter is writing a story.

From her shut door a commotion of
typewriter keys

Like a chain hauled over a gunwale.

Young as she is, the stuff

Of her life is a great cargo, and

But now it is she who pauses,

As if to reject my thought and its
easy figure.

A stillness greatens, in which

The whole house seems to be
thinking,

An then she is at it again with a
bunched clamor

Of strokes, and again is silent.

Which was trapped in that very
room, two years ago;

How we stole in, lifted a sash

And retreated, not to affright it;
And how for a helpless hour,
through the crack of the door,

We watched the sleek, wild, dark

And iridescent creature

Batter against the brilliance, drop
like a glove

To the hard floor, or the desk top,

And wait then, humped and bloody,
For the wits to try it again, and
how our spirits

Rose when, suddenly sure,

It lifted off from a chair-back,
Beating a smooth course for the

And clearing the sill of the world.

Aspects on Tuesday

Sick of it. Sick of it all. The
Primitives, England’s most successful
female-fronted guitar band since
Blondie, have determined after four
years in the business that they are sick
of it. Of what, you ask?

“Pretense. Just life in general
in the music scene,” says songwriter
and guitarist Paul Court, carefully
choosing his words. “Everybody
putting on false smiles and things like
this,” he says without flinching.

Raymond Rogers

And yes, they are different.
“We're ourselves,” Court ascertains.
The Primitives, vocalist Tracey Tracey,
and Drummer Tig, along with Court,
are seated on a couch at RCA Records
in London, all dressed in black. They
don’t feign conviviality, and they don’t
offer much about themselves. All they
really say is that they like the same
sorts of music and spirits - from
Blondie to the Byrds, and lager. The
only thing they show any emotion
over is a comparison of “Sick Of It” to
Julian Cope; they quite like that
thought. “We're actually quite boring,”
Tracey sighs. They make no effort to
win me over, but they do seem honest,
and I respect them for that.

And as for the “business,”
they should know what theyre talking
about. Their single “Crash,” off last
year’s Lovely, was one of the year’s
best; it hit it big on the critics’ lists
everywhere, not to mention the British
charts. “Crash” was on the top 100
sellers of the year.

“Number 94, I think it shocked
all of us,” says Tig. “You hear about
people in cabarets doing cover
versions of it. These English
workingman’s clubs they have over
here where you've got a band of like
40-year-old men doing sixties
standards. Someone said they did
“Crash,” “ Court recalls. “You get them
doing covers of like Elvis, the Beatles,
and ABBA, all the greats, and they do
“Crash.” I think it’s something to be
proud of,” Tracey says with a pert
chuckle, also noting the humor of the
situation.

This month (this interview
took place in August) they’ve been
plastered all over the pages of the
British music press, with “Sick Of It”
racking up well deserved raves
everywhere, and even a cover story in
Melody Maker. Instead of focusing on
the band’s seering, sneering, no-
bullshit single, however, they focus in
on Tracey’s hair color.

What's all the big to do?
Nothing. She’s changed her hair dye
from platinum blonde to red. “It’s no
big deal at all, just something for the
press to write about.” So much for the
British Blonde wave.

“T think we were the first
guitar band on Top of the Pops and I
just happen to have blonde hair. These
other bands that are around at the
moment, they just sort of followed, but
it’s just something the press have
blown out of proportion. There was no
massive movement, there happened to
be three girl singers who had blonde
hair. That's it. Wow,” Tracey says.

Apparently, she took the red

plunge during a nine month hiatus,
where the band worked their new
material rigorously on and off, while
also just enjoying their free time to
themselves, where they like to be kept.

One song on the new LP Pure,
“Secrets,” took them so many times to
get right that they really are sick of it.
“We must have recorded it about
thirteen different times, and each time
we're like ‘yeah, we've got it this time,’
but then we keep going back to it.
Right now it’s sort of like a Motown
feel. Everyone keeps saying ‘is that
going to be the next single?’ It’s not the
sort that you can put on a B-side, it
sort of screams out as a single,” Court
Says.

It does scream out as a single;
it is accomplished and infectious - the

kind of song you hear once and hum
for a month - but then so is every
other track on the record, from the
finger snaps of “Way Behind Me” to
the undeniable jangly hooks of
“Lonely Streets.”

“The best thing about this
band, I think, is the songs themselves,”
according to Court. And he’s right.
Unlike the monotonous formulas of
say Stock, Aick, and Waterman, who
more or less control the British charts
these days, these songs are two and
three minute slices of pure pop
pleasure.

The Primitives themselves
might be boring, shy, dress in black,
have red hair, or whatever, but the
music they make is top notch pop, and
that’s all you need to know.

EDITORIAL
The price of the

free press

Should the editors of a newspaper
have to kiss the ass of every Abe Lincoln
on every penny that comes to their paper ?

At Siena College, three editors seem
likely to get kicked off the staff of their
paper, The Promethean. Their crime was
publishing a clearly labeled parody issue
that insulted the college president. Here at
SUNYA, Hokum magazine has had its
budget frozen by a few student leaders
offended by the publication’s off-color tone.
And across the country similar efforts at
prior restraint are taking place.

Well, here’s the way it works: if a
newspaper libels or slanders you, you take
them to court. There are laws to protect you
from that sort of thing, and judges willing
to enforce them.

If you find something in a publication
insulting, offensive, or even dangerous, you
can complain to the publication itself and to
other media; you can refuse to patronize its
advertisers; you can refrain from reading
the paper.

What you cannot do is attempt to censor
it, by shutting off its money, firing its staff,
or reviewing its copy prior to publication. It
Says so in the U.S. Constitution.

A free press is absolutely essential to a
democratic society. A free press that, other
than obeying the law of the land, answers to
no one, is the only means available to keep
the citizenry informed enough to guide and
govern itself.

“Free expression protections - and
censorship - cut across all political and
ideological boundaries,” said the
Washington, D.C.- based Student Press Law
Center in its Fall 1989 report. “If one is not
willing to support free speech protections,
she should accept that the views she
espouses will be,,sooner or later, the ones
that are censored.”

There are, thankfully, people at SUNYA
who understand that. Student Association
President Fermin Espinosa and Central
Council Chair Nadya Lawson are two of
them; both supported Hokum.

Here at the ASP, we have
worked for and attained financial
independence from the Student Association.
We make our own money from selling
advertisements, and we spend it as we
please on printing, supplies and stipends.
This financial independence in turn invites
editorial independence thus allowing a
more objective press.That’s a luxury the
Promethean, and thousands of other high
school and college newspapers, don’t enjoy.
Perhaps, someday, they will gain a higher
level of financial - hence true -
independence, and won’t have to worry
about getting fired, or expelled, for what
they print.

In the meantime, The Promethean,
Hokum, and victims of censorship
everywhere have the complete endorsement
and support of the Albany Student Press.

SA's censorship of Hokum not humorous

Central Council’s recent decision to freeze Hokum
magazine’s budget is the worst move that this legislative
body of the Student Association has ever made.

A vote to reinstate funding for the magazine, which
drew harsh criticism from Council members at a prior
meeting, failed by just one vote. Just a few people, with
their “no” vote or abstention, contributed to the
censorship of a student-written and student-run
magazine. These people acted on their anger, saying that
the magazine was offensive, biased, and in poor taste,
sand failed to take into account the fact that in this

Bryan Sierra

country, the freedoms of speech and expression are a
given, and not just an occasional privilege.

Council wants nothing to do with Hokum and its crude
form of humor. Fine. But what ever happened to
Hokum’s first amendment rights? In saying that they
don’t approve, why must they cut their funding and
prevent them, for the time being, from publishing?

Who are these people that voted against unfreezing the
budget? They are just six normal students,who represent
their quad, or the off-campus student community,
Students at this campus (and not that many of them,
apparently, given election turnout figures) gave these few
the right to represent them in the student government.
But that doesn’t give them the right to act as moral
judges, and it certainly does not give them the Tight to
say that that which is offensive cannot be written. Even if
it is with student money. Is this the same Central Council
that gave a group money to travel to Washington to
protest for abortion rights? There are certainly People on
this campus who feel that abortion is, at the least,
offensive. And they probably outnumber those that took
offense with Hokum.

All across the country, students are fighting to Protect
their freedoms of speech and expression. At nearby Siena
College, editors of the student newspaper came under fire
for publishing a parody issue, which lampooned school
administrators, including the College President. These
students face disciplinary action, if the College feels that
this is necessary. Of course, it is not necessary. But
people, when they take offense to something, tend to act
irrationally and behave like tools of the Soviet
Communist party.

According to the Student Press Law Center Fall ‘89

Teport, these instances aren’t unique to SUNYA and
Siena. Students at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis
had their parody magazine banned after administrators
found it in poor taste. The Log, which parodied Playboy
Magazine, contained no nudity or profanity.
Administrators there just didn’t like the idea. I doubt that
U.S. naval officials can claim that they were censoring
material that was a threat to national security.

Parody issues, of course, are bound to create a lot of
hype, and are very likely to get people angry. It happens
all over the country, and someone can find offense in
anything. However, it is the drastic and unjustifiable
measures taken, such as pre-screening publications,
censorship, and cutting off funding that make the issue of
the survival of freedom of the Press even more urgent.
Whenever a group like these six people on Council are
given too much power, you can almost expect the absurd
to happen.

The fault in this issue doesn’t lie with the Student
Association or with Council itself. There are several
student leaders, including SA President Fermin Espinosa,
Council Chair Nadya Lawson, Vice Chair Paul Faulhaber,
Parliamentarian Steve Rhoads, and others who know that
the freeze on Hokum’s budget is ludicrous. Hopefully,
they can educate their colleagues on how to use their
Power positively and responsibly. And maybe then
Council can reconsider the freeze, and lift it.

Even if they do, Hokum is left in a precarious situation.
This experience with Council has no doubt left them
angry, frustrated, and confused. It must be hard to deal
with a political organization that cannot tolerate freedom
of speech and expression. The editors of Hokum have
expressed an interest in becoming an independent
Publication, free from Council’s shackles. This would
free them from a prior review of each issue, and give
them the Opportunity to refine their humor, if they so
desire, on their own. Hopefully, they’ve taken the
criticism to heart, and will use what they learn in the next
issue. Good luck to Hokum’s editors, especially if they do
publish independently. Even if they do, Council should
reinstate funding, just for the principle. Then, and only
then, will Council’s worst mistake be corrected, and ail
this hokum will be left behind.

ASP not objective

To The Editor

The ASP editorial of 12/01/89 encouraging me to
withdraw from the vice presidential race was an example
of amateur journalism. Instead of encouraging
Participation in the democratic process the ASP has
decided to impede this process.

Your “logical” argument is a fine display of confused
and poorly structured reasoning. First, the ASP praises
the 51 percent rule as a “good one”, then the ASP
advises me to withdraw, and then it states “money and
time spent on ‘he promotion and preservation of
democratic principle is always well spent, regardless of
inconvenient circumstances.” Then the ASP tells me to
“step aside.” This “argument” is in total disarray.

You say I am doing SA a “disservice” by running.
How dare you say that a student who has devoted three
years of time and effort to the student body should not
Tun? You should encourage debate, not attempt to stifle
it. Also, how can you say the voter’s choice was
“obvious?” My opponent received about 1 1/2% of the
Student body’s vote. This constitutes a mandate? Your
editorial should have focused on why students did not
Come out to vote. Come on now, get it together.

T have chosen to participate in the democratic process.
I’ve addressed issues of concern to the entire student
body. These have included ethnic tensions, safety,
expanding the services offered by the media office and

SUNYA needs lights

To The Editor

A funny thing happened to me on the way to my car
the other day...I couldn’t find it. It wasn’t because I had
forgotten where I parked it, because I didn’t. I just
couldn’t see it because of the lack of lighting in the
parking lots. Along with this “funny” thing happening a
not so funny thing happened. A friend of mine jumped
out at me from behind a car. Once again, because of the
lack of lighting, I couldn’t see him. What would have
happened if that wasn’t a friend of mine? What kind of
position would I have been in? I was frightened and that
is why I am writing you this letter.

SUNYA asks students to pay for parking so that they
can be closer to the actual campus. What difference does
this make if you don’t even feel safe walking that
distance? SUNYA has enough money to spend on a new
gymnasium but not enough to supply their students with
a brighter and safer school? What are we waiting for? Do
we need and incident to make us realize that a mugging
or worse can occur anywhere, and to anyone? What
happened in Syracuse University, the raping of seven
women, should be proof enough that this heinous crime
does occur and a perpetrator will attack anywhere. The
lack of lighting makes SUNY students perfect targets. Is
being and feeling safe on our own campus a lot to ask? I
think not.

Jennifer Capon

Halber's view distorted

To The Editor

I forgot I had composed this letter until the Senate VP
elections reminded me. It was interesting to note in
Ronald J Halber’s letter of Albany Israeli Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC) on September 22 he never
discussed the Israeli practice of demolishing and sealing
Palestinian homes. This has been an ongoing practice of
Israel since 1948, when Israel destroyed 80% of the
Palestinian villages after Palestinians were forced to flee.
Another example, the village Amwas (biblical Emmaus)
was bulldozed in 1968. It is now called Canada Forest in
honor of the Jewish Community of Canada which
replaced the destroyed village with trees.

Currently the Israeli government is carrying on an
extensive policy of demolishing and sealing homes.
House demolitions and sealings are a form of collective
punishment used by the Israeli military authorities
against Palestinians under occupation, whereby whole
families are made homeless for the alleged “security
offense” of one member. During the uprising, the Israeli
gov't has demolished more than 700 Palestinian homes,
displacing an estimated 8,000 people, turning them into
refugees on their own land.

The Israeli army carries out the demolitions as swiftly
and brutally as possible so as to exert the greatest
jntimidatory effect. Hundreds of soldiers, often
accompanied by settlers descend on a town of village
usually between midnight and dawn. The locality is
under curfew and the only warning the victims have is
when the troops hammer on the door and order them to
leave the house.

Palestinians live in extended families in solid stone
house which they build by hand over a period of years.
More than 80% of the disposable income of the residents
of Occupied Palestine is directed toward the building of
private homes. The destruction of such homes represents
great emotional heartache, the loss of years of hard labor,
and economic devastation.

I would like to ask Mr. Halber how he would feel if
authorities came to his house and ordered him to leave.
Then placed sticks of dynamite throughout the house and
blew it up because a sibling was accused, not even tried
just accused, of throwing a rock.

Mr. Halber also wrote on the question of peace. He
stated it was in Israel’s best interest to maintain the
world’s fourth largest military establishment and be the
5th‘largest arms exporter. Also, these exports are often
sent to the most hideous governments; Guatemala, South
Africa, and Zaire.

True peace can only come with justice, and justice
comes when the centrality of the conflict is solved. The
centrality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the denial
of the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-
determination and the on-going process of the zionist
movement to de-Palestine Palestine. Palestinian survival
is threatened, and this must be stopped for peace to break
out. Mr. Halber if you want peace, work for justice!

Abortion not fair

To The Editor

This letter is in response to the pro-choice letters that
popped up in the Editor list in this past Friday’s issue,
and this past Tuesday’s issue of the ASP. One of the
letter was titled “Our bodies, our choice!” In another
letter the writer said that she was irate that people could
tell her what to do with her own body. This recurring
theme that women should be able to have abortions so
that they can control their bodies nauseates me because it
completely denies the existence of another person
involved in the abortion issue, the baby or the fetus if
you prefer to call it that. Ask yourself, would you have
wanted your mother control her body to the point of
possibly putting you in a position where you are in a
warm watery environment... then all of a sudden, a
looped shaped knife comes over your leg, rips it off, and
then rips the rest of you apart? Or how about another
one...you start swallowing high concentrated saline and
your skin starts falling off. And let’s say by some weird
chance you survive! You are left to die somewhere. Is
that the type of control over your bodies that you want?
To do that to your children? Thank god your parents did
not decide to exercise that “right to control their bodies,”
when they were pregnant with you... or you would not be
here.

You gotta’ do something

To The Editor

Do you think I write this stuff because I want to?
(Rhetorical question, does not require an answer) Yes, of
course. But evidently there is something askew and in
need of a few words to place it in perspective, even
though we must each find our own perspective. I believe
that the majority of this place has a twisted frame of
teference.

Look, the problem lies in “wanna do’s” and “gotta
do’s”, and that they are bot the same when they should
be. You say, “This guy is one of those ‘lost’ idealists who
can’t separate reality from fantasy.” I say that my reality
is my fantasy because I set it up that way.

First off, if you’re not here because it’s something you
“wanna do”, get out of it. If you’re here because you
think it’s something you “gotta do”, you’re wrong, you
don’t, get out of it. For people who don’t know what they
want, you’re in the right place, just do it and stop
bitchin’ until you know what you “wanna do” and then
you won’t have to bitch. If you find what you want is not
“This”, get out of it. If it is what you “wanna do”, then
pick good classes, seek out the good professors, and go
to class because it is what you want! If you don’t like the
courses you chose, then they are “gotta do’s” (and
nobody likes “gotta do’s” or they would be called
“wanna do’s”), and you won’t go, or fall asleep, or zone
out.

This is a bit more difficult for freshmen and
sophomores because their lives are run from a “gotta do”
computer that reeks of someone else’s “wanna do’s”,
making, just like anyone’s forced “wanna do’s”,
everyone’s life miserable. But some reprieve is acquired
as you approach upperclasspersonship, so the poles can
be more readily aligned.

I do not pretend that there are no “gotta do’s”, but with
a little ingenuity and initiative, bound together by the
power of you will, they can be twisted around to seem
like, or even become “wanna do’s”.

Think of this as an axiom, a paraphrase of Carlos
Castenada, “Find your spot, then take the path with
heart.” Does this seem lost? I found my spot.

APD

Continued from page 17
Murray, an Albany Police officer
for nearly 25 years, five of them
spent in the Dept. of Internal
Affairs, said he had never seen
any cases nor would the
Department stand for racism on

the job. He admitted that from
time to time they . have
investigated cases of brutality.

“We (APD) live within the
guidelines of the law. We tell
officers to recognize their
prejudices and not let them
interfere with the job,” Murray
said. “Everybody has them.”

Murray commented that
judging from the panel and his
experiences with its members,
most were people who had a
negative view of law
enforcement.

“J don’t think that if we (APD)
laid down in the middle of the
road and died would they be
satisfied,” said Murray,
wondering how those same
people would fare “out in the
trenches.”

According to Murray,
Greyhound bus station sweeps
have been going on almost as
long as he has been with the
APD. “The only difference is
that the drug problem is worse.”

The allegation that the APD is
using the drug war as a
camouflage to profile and harass
Blacks and Hispanics is not true,
according to Murray.

“Tt is an unfortunate fact that
the community most affected by
the drug problem are Black and
Hispanic people. It has nothing to
do with being racist or targeting
Black or Hispanic people,” he
said.

There is, according to Murray,
a silent majority in that area, that
is glad that the police are there
taking drug pushers off the
Streets but they are afraid to
speak out for fear of retribution
from their peers.

Regarding the allegation that
one of the Albany police officers
used a bat on suspects for
intimidation purposes, Murray
said, “I could see a guy walking
into a police department and
seeing a bat that was confiscated
from a previous arrest and
making up the story to save his
own skin. I mean if you were
busted on seven counts of
possession of a controlled
substance, the best thing to do
would be to say that the police
had beat you or robbed
you...what would you have to
lose?”

Murray said a police officer is
never left alone with a suspect.

“There is always a supervisor
around to observe an officer’s
conduct.”

“T don’t think the APD is as
good as are our P.R. says we
are,” commented Murray, “but I
don’t think we’re as bad as the
forum suggests we are either.”

Censorship

Continued from page 6
“It really upset me to be
perceived that way,” Shepard
said, “but I’m not going to go out
and seek minority issues just
because of this.”

Rocky Mountain Collegian
Editor Scott Perriman agreed.
“No one likes criticism, but it’s
unlikely we’ll do anything
differently.”

Citing past efforts to include
guest columns from campus
minorities and his own editorials
criticizing racist incidents,
Perriman said, “If someone calls
me a racist, that’s an uninformed
accusation.”

Nevertheless, such accusations
“hurt the credibility of the paper
in the short run,” said Tom
Rolnicki.

Women win Cap Tourney

Continued from Back Page

But at the 3:21 mark Romer picked up
her fourth foul and only had two points
the rest of the way. The Danes went on a
11-5 run to end the game.

Stempsey and Richardson led the
Danes with 12 points apiece. Laurie
Annunziato and Wilson each had 10.
Wilson and Richardson also had nine
rebounds each to pace Albany and they
also made the all-tourney team.

“Gina doesn’t have to score a lot of
points,” Warner said. “She’s aggressive
on the court.”

“Pam was strong on the boards as
always,” Richardson said.

“She was pretty consistent, she does
well with the people on the court with

her,” Warner said.

On Saturday aginst Russell Sage, the
Danes got out to a 32-9 lead and led by a
42-25 advantage at the half. Richardson
again led the Danes with 16 points.
Wilson was close behind with 15,
Sophomore Faith Miller playing the sixth
man spot added 12.

In the consolation game on Sunday, St
Rose defeated Sage, 62-48 to take third
place.

For the Danes, they have a chance for a
little rest before they host New England
power Eastern Connecticut Wednesday
night at University Gym at 5:45.

“We'll see if we can come back
refreshed and prepare for Eastern
Connecticut,” Warner said.

Ditka up to facing adversity

Continued from page 23

especially on the defensive side of the
ball, it worked.

This team, though, ran out of talent
before it ran out of guts.

Wilber Marshall, the brilliant, young
linebacker, became a free agent and left
two years ago for better dollars in
Washington. The linebacker on the other
flank, Otis Wilson, blew out his knee last
season, and didn’t last through training
camp. And Ditka himself had greased the
skids for quarterback Jim McManon’s
departure to San Diego at the end of the
preseason.

The offensive line is showing wear and
tear commensurate with its age, and when
All-Pro tackle Dan Hampton went down
after a 4-0 start for his 10th (and possibly
final) knee operation, the talents of the
grizzled veterans that remained: Mike
Singletary, Steve McMichael, Dave
Duerson, had diminished to the point
where they could no longer cover up for
the mistakes of their youthful sidekicks.

As her husband met reporters in the
lockerroom, Diana Ditka sat quietly on a
chair in the gloomy gray Metrodome
concourse, glancing at her watch and
fretting.

Dane indoor track teams to start seasons
White: women, ‘talent looks good'

By Michael Director
STAFF WRITER

For a track team to excel it needs a
Solid core of experienced runners to
Power them. The Albany women’s track
team has just such a nucleus.

The Danes have many of last year’s
Squad returning and are bolstered by
Many new faces.

In the sprints (55 meters, 200m, 400m)
the Danes have three returnees from last
year. Sophomore Nicole Hargraves runs
the 200 meters and does the hurdles. Last
Year at States she placed third in the
100m high hurdles. Also returning are
Juniors Samone McDade and Amy
Biddle. Both women were members of
last year’s 1600m relay team which
Placed fifth at States.

The sprinting area is bolstered by three
Newcomers. Freshmen Kate Smith, Susan
French, and junior Garmel Simany look
Promising to help the Danes in,
historically, one of its weakest areas.

_ “The talent looks good and it (sprints)
is probably our-most improved area,”
Albany head coach Ron White said.

In the middle distances (800m, 1000m,
1500m) the Danes have many talented
People. Returning from last year’s squad
are seniors Denise Buneo and Kerry
Charron, junior Kate Ferrie and
Sophomores Dawn Dansky and Colleen
Shine,

Buneo had a superb indoor season last
year and won the most improved award
for indoor/outdoor track. Ferrie was the
Co-winner for this award. The trio of
Charron, Dansky and Shine are all carry-
vers from this past cross-country season.
Charron was one of the Dane’s top five
Tunners in cross country and Shine and
Dansky were both in the top seven.

The Danes also have four newcomers
to help bolster their middle distance
Contingent. Freshmen Amy Schroder,
Jennifer Sharma, Tiery Samuels and
Shurawl Bryan add additional strength to

an already solid group of runners.

The long distance squad consists of all
cross-country runners. The Danes top
two; Amy Mack and Tricia Shultes are
here as well as senior Diana Peralta,
sophomore Ingrid Gonzalez and freshmen
Amy Quinn and Jeannine Brinn. If the
cross country season can be used as an
indicator of future indoor performance,
the Danes should be powerful in the
distance events.

One of the Danes’ weaker areas is the
jumps. There are no returning standouts
from last year’s squad. Trying their skills
in the long and triple jumps will be
freshmen Nefertiti Greene, Susan Frenck,
and Caroline Schmidz.

In the high jump the Danes have
sophomore Leigh Giles, who did not
compete last year, and freshman Lisa
Kuchire.

The throwing events are one of
Albany’s most powerful areas. Returning
are Erica Anderson and Ann LaVeck.
Anderson did not throw last year, bu t two
years ago she placed seventh at Division
III Nationals, she is also the school record
holder. LaVeck took second place at
outdoor States last year in the discus.
Adding to these two talented throwers are
freshmen Amy Friedman and Amy
Burton.

The Danes have a lot of potential and
although a majority of the team is new, a
nice nucleus is there.

“This team is the best one on paper in
my nine years of coaching here,” White
said.

He likened them to a “diamond in the
rough” and feels “potential is here.”

With such a young team it will just take
time and patience for results. Once the
runners gain experience at the collegiate
level, some big things might become
achievable.

“We have a chance to field our best
squad ever,” White said.

Ditka used to challenges
from football and life

By Jim Litke

Minneapolis
(AP) Losing seems to have taught Mike
Ditka what a heart attack could not: That
football, like life, has limits.

Caught in the throes of a losing season
for the first time since his first season at
the Chicago helm seven years ago,
Stripped of many of the friends and more

an a few of the players who made the

his Bears. Ditka finally took a cold,
hard look around him and absolved
€verybody of blame except Mike Ditka.

Or So it appeared Sunday.

Regardless of what people want to say
about me or anything else, this is my
football team. This is the team I picked
and the team I want playing for me. I have
NO questions in my mind about these guys
Tight now.”

Life has been an almost-perpetual gut
check for Mike Ditka, and not having to
Tely on anyone else for most of the tests,
he always passed, He escaped a life in the
‘Steel mills near his boyhood home in

quippa, Pa., by playing football with an
xtraordinary fire burning in his belly. Tt
Only got brighter on the day in 1982 when
George Halas plucked Ditka from the
anonymous ranks of assistant coaches and

challenged him to light that fire under a
moribund Chicago franchise.

There, Ditka was paired with Bill
Tobin, the shrewdest football executive
ever to work the college draft, and the
rest was history: one Super Bowl, three
appearances in the NFC championship
game, five NFC Central titles. Ditka
became a television fixture in the process,
the NFL’s last angry man, raging up and
down the nation’s sidelines on a safari to
stamp out mediocrity, enriching himself
beyond his wildest dreams and lining the
pockets of almost anyone who was along
for the ride.

Little more than a year ago, a heart
attack stopped Ditka in his tracks. Little
more than a week later, he threw off the
covers of his hospital bed and rushed
back onto the high wire that is coaching
one of the visible teams in what is
arguably the most scrutinized sport.

Tt was, in every way, Vintage Ditka, the
man who would push frighteningly at his
own limits so that those who played for
him would, in turn, be tempted to test
theirs. And for a while, even though the
Bears had thinned out considerably,

Entering its 20th season of indoor
track, the Albany men’s team looks to be
the best in school history. It is the largest
ever and is replete with talent.

They have amazing depth and a strong
group of returning runners plus many
talented newcomers.

In the past, sprints (55 meters, 200m,
400m) have been the Danes’ strongest
area and this year is no exception.
Returning from last years squad are:
junior Jose Maymi, and sophomores
Todd Buckley and Derek Westbrook.

Maymi, a captain on last year’s squad,
went to Nationals in the 4x100 meter
relay and placed third in State’s in as well
as outdoors.

Buckley who was a member of last
years school record setting mile relay
team and Westbrook, who was injured
most of last year, are two key people
whose performance are being counted on.

Bolstering these three are three
outstanding freshmen: Steve Rocanboli
(from Port Jefferson), Cecil Kelly, and
Lance Richardson (who both come from
New York City).

These six are not the only talented
sprinters. The Danes also have freshman
Alex Vasquez and sophomore Dave
Francis.

The middle distances (800, 1000, 1500
m) are also full of good runners. One of
the Danes’ best runners is sophomore
Wilfredo Rodriguez.

Last year he was the CTC Pentathalon
Champion, ran on the school record mile
relay team, and placed fourth in States in
the 500 meters. All this was indoors.

Outdoors he was the CTC intermediate
hurdles and pentathalon champion, the
State intermediate champion and second
at State’s in the high hurdles.

He also is the school record holder in
the intermediates, and for all his efforts
was awarded the team MVP. All this was
as a freshman. He also went to Nationals
and placed eleventh in the intermediates
and over the summer became the Puerto
Rican Junior National Champion.

Also running the middle distances are
two talented sophomores: Joe McCullen
and Gregorio Luciano.

McCullen had an outstanding cross-
country season and ran a 1:53 800 meters
at last years Penn Relays.

Luciano also ran well in cross-country
and looks to retain his position of the
team’s top 1000 meter man.

Also, the Dane seniors are Scott
McNamara and Jim Clancy. McNamara
didn’t run much last year and was part of
the State Champion distance medley
telay team.

Clancy, ran on the school record setting
sprint medley team which at last year’s
Syracuse Relays upset the Orange.
Adding to this already powerful group
are two newcomers Joe Ahearn and
Howie Sellers.

Ahearn is a transfer from Hudson
Valley Community College who although
injured ran well in cross country, Sellers
is a freshman from Albany High who
placed second in last year’s High School

Read ASP Sports

Vives: men, ‘are strongest ever'

State meet in a blistering 1:54.1.

The longer distances are Albany’s
weakest area. Ruturning are two
outstanding seniors Dave Spencer and
Chris Kranick. Spencer was second in
1988 Staes at 5000 meters and missed
Nationals in cross-country by five
seconds.

Kranick is also an outstanding cross
country runner who will hopefully
contribute to and bolster this lacking area.
In addition to these two is freshman
Patrick Prophile. He was the Danes’ top
freshman X-C runner and is looking good
in practice,

Besides Rodriguez in the hurdles the
Danes have two time State Champion
Juan Sanchez. He is the holder of the
indoor and outdoor high hurdle records
and if he stays away from injury he
should be a State Champion again.
Francis and freshman Courtney Smith
add depth to the hurdles.

Francis, an outstanding jumper and
Smith, who ran 15 seconds flat in high
school add strength to an already strong
area.

In the long and triple jumps the Danes
have three talented returning jumpers.
Junior John Ashley won the CTC’s in the
triple and is the school record holder in
that event. Francis, who has jumped close
to Ashley’s record, and Tanvir Choudhri,
who placed fourth in CTC’s outdoors,
round out the returnees. Newcomer
Richardson who has jumped 44 feet in
the triple adds his talents to these three.

Tn the high jump the Danes have senior
Brett Dixon, who placed second in the
CTC decathalon and Smith who placed
fifth in High School States last year.

In the pole vault the Danes have Tom
Mead and Brendan Bertsch. Mead is the
indoor State and the outdoor CTC
Champion in the pole vault. Up and
coming is Bertsch, who placed fourth in
CTC’s last year.

The throwing events is one area where
Albany has recruited talent. Returning
from last year are George Caporin and
Craig Lafay. Caporin placed third in the
hammer throw at States and Lafay is the
team’s top shotputter. They have been
recruited by Albany coach Roberto
Vives.

Matt Kieley is a transfer from Rutgers,
where he threw 51’4” which would
qualify him for Nationals easily. Another
transfer from Fulton-Montgomery
Community College is Ed Hantho who
has thrown 47 feet.

Joining the team this semester from

local Troy High is Brad Dean. He is the
State High school discus champion
throwing 187 feet and was ranked eighth
in the nation.

As one can see this team has a great
deal of talent. They are looking to capture
its first state championship.

“This is the strongest team in Dane
history and I am excited about our
prospects,” Vives said. “I am anticipating
a great year and who knows what we can
achieve” he added.

The team’s slogan is “The decade of
the Danes” and with all this talent it just
might happen.

defeat three
Div. | teams

The Albany wrestling team
suffered its first defeat of the season,
after losing to Boston University
(23-10) last Monday.

This loss comes on the heels of a

Goodemote and Dennis Walker
contributed 13 each, Alex McClearn had
12 and Michael Shene totaled 10.

Albany took control of the game late in
the first half when Farnsworth and
Goodemote connected on consecutive
three-pointers at 3:51 and 3:20
respectively, to give the Danes a 35-27
advantage.

Shene gave the Danes a 42-31 halftime
lead, by hitting an off balance 18 foot
jumper at the buzzer.

Albany would then build their largest
lead of the game at 58-40 on an Ed Feller
foul shot at 13-17.

But the Dane defense proceeded to let
the Colonials back into the thick of things.
Led by senior guard Chris Jackey, who
scored 13 of his game high 26 points in
the final 11 minutes, Binghamton would
pull within six at 4:05 on two free throws
by High Zuber.

“Tt was a nervous time,” Albany head
coach Richard Sauers said. “They had too
many easy shots toward the end.”

Binghamton would then make Albany
earn the victory from the charity stripe
sending the Danes to the line nine times in
the final three minutes for one and one
shots.

Albany was up to the task, converting
16 out of 17 and 30 of 37 overall to seal
the victory.

“We had to make the free throws and we
did,” Sauers said. “With the poor start we
had, it was a very important win for us.”

Binghamton used a zone defense.
Coming off the victory Friday night, the
Danes did not have much time to prepare.

very impressive showing by the
Danes, in which they defeated three
Division I schools (Hofstra,
Kutztown St., Princeton) two
Saturdays ago at Princeton
University. The Danes opened with a
20-14 victory over Hofstra.

Impressive victories were recorded
by Jefferson LaMountain, who
defeated Rob Fecca 14-4, Chris
Roberts beating Tavicko 10-1, and
Chris Zogby who defeated Dan
Malaham 5-3.

The Danes then squared off
against Kutztown State, and
squeaked out a 22-21 victory.
Standouts were Van Fronhofer and
Chris Roberts, both of whom pinned
their opponents, and Greg Jones who
recorded on impressive 9-4 victory
over Bill Kassiner.

In their final showing of the day,
the Danes whipped their host,
Princeton 23-13. Big wins were
registered by Eric Hazin who
defeated Jim Barrett 10-2, Rob
Appel who defeated Bill Semins 14-

Opponent Weir in 3:30.

The next meet wiil be Friday at
7:00 when the Danes play host to
arch rival Oneonta State.

Oneonta made news last week
when they knocked off number five
ranked Cortland 20-17.

This may give the Danes a little
more incentive for success. A large
turnout is expected for this very
important meet.

Women's basketball team takes
eighth straight Capital Tourney

By Christopher Sciria
SPORTS EDITOR

Playing its third game in the last four days, the Albany
women’s basketball team took its eighth straight Capital
District Women’s Tournament Sunday with a 69-56 win
over Union at University Gym.

On Saturday, the Danes defeated Russell Sage, 82-53
to advance to the championship game. With its third
consecutive victory, Albany raised its record to 4-2.

The toll of three games in four days showed as Albany
slowed down its usual fast-paced offense.

“Coming out of it, we’re tired,” Albany forward Pam
Wilson said. “Going all out this weekend, it showed.”

Against Union, the Danes came out shooting. Senior
guard Sue Stempsey, (who had 12 points to tie for the
Albany lead) hit two of her four three-pointers in the first
two minutes, as Albany got off to a 10-2 lead (18:03
left). The Dutchmen kept it close and were within four,
when Robin Romer scored two at the 12:05 mark of the

half to make it 15-11, Danes.

Albany closed out the half by scoring 21 of the next 36
points to take a 36-26 advantage into the locker room.

The Danes at one point in the second half extended its
lead to 17 points, 52-35 on a Gina Richardson score with
12:18 left in the game. Albany head coach Mari Warner
used all of her players, but she mixed in starters with her
Teserves,

“Certain people are going to give us certain things in
different situations,” Warner said.

Union which isn’t as deep as the Danes used only six
players the entire game. One of them scored almost half
of her team’s points. Romer, scored 11 of her 26 points
in the last 10 minutes to pull the Dutchmen within seven
at 58-51, with 3:52 remaining.

“You expect that with Union,” Warner said. “It’s
something they want to do; win the Capital District
Tourney.”
