j Cause of virus determined

By Leanne Warshauer
NEWS EDITOR

Last week’s outbreak of
illness on Alumni Quad, which
affected well over 100
students, was caused by a viral
agent known as “Norwalk-like
virus,” according to a memo
directed to the residents of
Alumni from Medical Director
Norman F. Dennis, M.D.

This conclusion was reached
through the joint efforts of
New York State and Albany
County Health Department,
University Auxiliary Services
(U.A.S.) and the University
Health Center,

The virus can be spread by
ingesting something an
infected individual has
touched, such as food ina
salad bar or buffet line, the
memo stated.

U.A.S. has since closed the
salad bars in Alumni dining
halls. Additional measures
have also been taken,

All U.A.S. workers handling
food are required to. wear
gloves and masks said Joel
Blumenthal of University
Relations. “This is to reduce
the risk of further episodes,”
he said.

Blumenthal was not sure
how long these requirements
would last.

While the origin of the virus

could not be pinpointed,
Blumenthal said it could have
been transmitted by an
infected U.A.S. worker
handling food.

The food itself was not bad,
Blumenthal said.

A similar outbreak occurred
last week at the University of
Colorado, where up to 600
students were infected,
according to a memo sent to
Vice President for Student
Affairs Mitchel Livingston
from Dennis.

Stan Kondracki of the New
York State Department of

‘Health said that in his opinion

the numbers at SUNYA were
lower due to the “excellent
routine food serving and
Preparation _ procedures
followed by the U.A.S. staff at
the Waterbury cafeteria,” the
memo stated.

Those infected with the
Norwalk-like virus
experienced symptoms of
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
stomach cramps and in some
cases, fever and faintness.

Debbie Dippo, director of
Operations for Five Quad
Volunteer Ambulance said the
number of calls made to
Alumni of that nature has
tapered off.

Sweep snags
drunk drivers

By Bryan Sierra
CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

A county-wide effort to stop DWI took
38 drunk drivers off the road Friday night,
local police reported.

The DWI sweep was initiated by al
group called “Albany County Stop DWI,”
and involved city police, Guilderland
police, the sheriff’s department and the!
University Public Safety Department,

Public Safety Assistant Director John|
Henighan said that 10 or 12 cars were
stopped on campus Friday night.
Although several tickets were given for|
driving violations, there were no DWI or
Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAD|
arrests made on campus, Hénighan said.

Public Safety officers participating in|
the sweep did so in conjunction with their}
other duties, Henighan said. Cars were]
stopped for any violation of traffic laws,|
such as speeding or running lights, and
drivers were screened for DWI.

A blood alcohol content (B.A.C.) over
-10 constitutes DWI, while a B.A.C. off
05 to .10 constitutes DWAI, a lesser
offense.

‘The “Blanket Patrol” takes place twice|
fa year, said Albany County Stop DWI
Administrator Dennis Foley. A November
date was chosen because November has|
ithe most alcohol-related crashes, he said.

The next sweep is scheduled for Friday,
[December 14th, Foley said.

There were 699 cars stopped county-
wide Friday night, Foley said. Thirty-
eight people were arrested for drunk|
driving, and three people were arrested|
for drugged driving.

Ralliers protest bias in current SAT format Friday

By Tom Murnane
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

In protest of the format the State
Education Department (SED) uses to
determine scholarships, eighty New York
Public Interest Research Group
(NYPIRG) members rallied outside the
State Education building on Friday,

Protesters claim the formula, which
weighs the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) equally with academic
performance, discriminates aginst women
and some minority students.

NYPIRG uses a March 1988 internal
SED memorandum which states, “... the
50/50 weighting does not rectify the
gender imbalance...” as evidence for
“gender/racial bias” by the SED and the
Educational Testing System (ETS) which
creates and distributes the SAT. Asa
result of this bias, the group is calling for
a shift from a 50/50 split between grades

and SAT scores to a 90/10 split between
grades and SAT scores in a new SAT
formula, which a NYPIRG report says
"would give female students a more fair
opportunity to win awards.”

SED reported on February 28, 1990 that
for the first time in New York history,
women received more Regents College
Scholarships than did men,

NYPIRG contends, however, that
women are still not receiving their fair
share of Empire State Scholarships of
Excellence, even though wonten exhibit
better academic performance than their
male counterparts.

Racial bias in testing programs can be
dealt with by applying the Golden Rule
Technique, which a NYPIRG release says
will "ensure exams measure relevant
knowledge differences between test
takers, and not irrelevant, culturally-

Troops sent to Kuwait

Persian Gulf
(AP) Iraq said yesterday that it will send
250,000 more troops to Kuwait, more than
doubling its military strength in the
occupied kingdom. President Bush
dismissed Iraq’s promise, made a day
earlier, to free all foreigners by March.

The troop buildup was announced by
the Iraqi News Agency 11 days after Bush
said 200,000 more troops would be
shipped to the region to bring the
American force to 430,000. Previously,
Iraq was believed to have about 170,000
troops in Kuwait and about 250,000 men
in southern Iraq.

On Sunday, Iraq said it would free the
estimated 2,000 remaining Westerners
stranded in Iraq and occupied Kuwait
between Christmas and March 25 “unless
something would take place that mars the
atmosphere of peace.”

Cold War is history

Paris
(AP) President Bush and Soviet President
Mikhail Gorbachev led European leaders
yesterday in signing a historic treaty that
slashes non-nuclear weapons in Europe
and pushes the Cold War deeper into
history. Bush said the pact heralds a “new
world order.”

“We are putting an end to the previous
age,” French President Francois Mitterand
agreed as he put his signature to the treaty
documents. The glittering signing
ceremony was the prelude to a 34-nation
summit called to discuss European
security in the post Cold War era, but was
shadowed by the Persian Gulf crisis.

The long sought agreement to destroy
tens of thousands of tanks, artillery and
armored combat vehicles in Europe is the
most sweeping arms accord in history. It
will alter the military balance in Europe by
erasing Moscow’s ability to to mass huge
numbers of tanks and other heavy armor in
central Europe.

“It is the farthest reaching arms
agreement in history and it signals the new
world order that is emerging,” Bush said
shortly before the ceremony, held in an
ornate ballroom at the Elysee Palace.

“This reduces to practically nil the
tensions that have existed.”

Execution is upheld

Starke, Florida
(AP) The U.S. Supreme Court refused
Sunday to stop the execution of a man
sentenced to die in the electric chair for
killing a businessman for $5,000.

Organization meets at

The execution of Raymond Clark was
scheduled for 7:01 a.m. yesterday at
Florida State Prison.

The justices voted 8-1 against two
separate emergency requests on Clark’s
behalf Sunday evening. The lone dissenter
was Justice Thurgood Marshall, who
opposes the death penalty in all
circumstances.

Defense attorney Billy Nolas said Clark
had no other avenues of appeal left.

Clark, 49, was convicted of the 1977
shooting death of a businessman. He and
a teen age accomplice abducted David
Drake from a St. Petersburg bank parking
Jot, drove him to a secluded area and shot
him twice in the head after Drake wrote
them a $5,000 check, according to trial
testimony.

At the time, Clark was on parole after
serving 10 years of a life sentence for
killing a 14-year-old homosexual lover.

Syria allies with U.S.

Washington, D.C.
(AP) Syria, a newfound U.S. ally against
Saddam Hussein, has a chemical weapons
arsenal at least as dangerous as Iraq’s,
USS. experts say.

The two nations are believed to be the
biggest producers of chemical weapons in
the Mideast, creating hundreds of tons of
the deadly gas each year. World attention
has focused on Iraq’s chemical capability

in the three months since its provoked
invasion of neighboring Kuwait.

Washington’s relations with
Damascus, strained for many years over
Syria’s support for international
terrorism and its hard-line positions
against Israel, have warmed in recent
weeks since the Syrians joined the anti-
Iraq coalition.

Syria has promised to send 15,000
troops to join the U.S.-led multinational
force arrayed against Iraq in Saudi
Arabia.

U.S. officials say they are concerned
about the Syrian chemical weapons
production and have tried to prevent
Syria from obtaining the materials
necessary to produce such arms.

The United States is part of the
Australian Group, named for the country
that initiated the international effort to
stop the proliferation of chemical
weapons, the poor man’s atom bomb.

improvements, watchdog agency said
yesterday.

Drivers with bad traffic records were
allowed to transport the mentally ill and
retarded, uninspected vehicles were
allowed on the road, and accidents went
unreported, according to the state
commission on Quality of Care for the
Mentally Disabled.

Since responsibility fro oversight is
shared by several different state
agencies, problems frequently fall
through the cracks, the commission said
in a report.

“When you’ve got people with bad
driving records who are out on the road
undetected, obviously you’ve got some
people at risk,” said Gary Masline,
spokesman for the commission.

A new industry of transporting the
mentally disabled to and from services
has grown in the last decade with the
state’s policy of deinstitutionalization.
The state and federal governments spend
$95 million a year in New York on these
transportation companies.

The commission launched its study
after three separate accidents caused four
deaths over the last two years.

New York, N.Y.
(AP) Donald Trump missed a deadline
fro making a $47.3 million interest
payment, but moved closer to a deal with
investors threatening to force his Taj
Mahal casino into bankruptcy court, and
attorney said yesterday.

The developer has been negotiating
with Taj Mahal bondholders in an
attempt to restructure his debts. The
interest payment came due at midnight
Thursday. a

“There are several issues that are still
left outstanding, several of them big
ones, so I can’t say that we have any
agreement at this time.” Robert Miller,
an attorney for bondholders, told CBS
Radio yesterday.

“But we’ve been working in good
faith on both sides to try and narrow the
issues, and we’ve made some progress.”

During the talks, the Taj Mahal
bondholders offered Trump more
favorable terms on the $675 million in
junk bonds in return for a big stake in the
casino.

Bondholders have threatened to seek
Chapter 11 bankruptcy for Atlantic
City’s biggest casino if terms cannot be
reached. Chapter 11 allows a business to
continue operations under court
supervision while it puts its finances in
order.

ROTC Colonel says outlook is bleak for Levin

By Hope Morrow
NEWS EDITOR

While he said he is
sympathetic to Paul Levin’s case,
Lt. Colonel Edward A. Bardill,
commander of the local Army
Reserve Officers Training Corps
(ROTC), said Friday, he is not
sure that a change in military
policy concerning the
Commission of Disabled People
will occur.

“Who knows, policy may get
changed,” Bardill said, “but
since Congress is limiting (the
number of military) forces, it’s
difficult to have commissioned
officers who are limited in
scope.”

Bardill explained that unless a
change made in army regulation
40-501, which states “a medical
precondition cannot preclude
you from service in a certain
area,” Levin will not be able to
meet the requirements to become
acommissioned officer.

Bardill also said, “I like his
(Levin’s) attitude. I admire him
for that. I would like to have
some of his motivation to share
with others.”

However, Bardill added
approximately three-quarters of
the ROTC program is physical
training. “If a soldier fails to
maintain the specific physical
requirements which are tested
every six months, Bardill said
the Army releases them.

Having travelled around the
world himself, Bardill said he’s
seen problems that Levin might

face if deployed. “Soldiers need
to go through difficult terrain on
foot...like in Saudi Arabia. In
addition to the climate, the sand
sucks you down when you walk
and wears you down quicker.
That becomes a problem and
could definitely be a problem if
Levin needed assistance.”

Bardill stressed all
commissioned officers are
soldiers first who need to meet
certain capacities of employing
for duty. “If they are not fit for
duty, my hands are tied. I can’t
commission them,” he said.

“T’ve had to say no to students
for other reasons as well,”
Bardill said citing the strict
criteria the Department of the
Army sets for commissioned
officers.

“(Officers) are not
commissioned based on the job
but on their physical mobility,”
Bardill said. That is why Levin is
ineligible for being a
commissioned officer, he said.

Bardill also emphasized the
importance of “summer camp,”
part of the ROTC program every
cadet must successfully complete
in order to finish the ROTC
program.

Summer camp is a six week
physically demanding training
period where cadets from all
over the Northeast come
together. “It’s important because
they are evaluated as leaders,”
while participating in physical
training. “If he (Levin) cannot

ROTC’s Col. Bardill can't help Paul Levin

finish camp, I can’t commission
him,” Bardill said.

Although Levin is prevented
from becoming a commissioned
officer, according to Bardill,
“there are many places where he
can contribute indirectly to the
military from another post.”

The Army is “just one part of
government service he cannot
participate in,” Bardill said.
However, he was quick to add
there is definately a need for
good civilian leaders to help the
military.

“Even if he can’t serve in the
military, he can be a good leader
in Congress or other government
agency,” Bardill emphasized.

Bardill said the roles civilians
play are essential to the military.
“Each soldier swears allegiance
to the U.S. Constitution, not to
President Bush or any other
person...So, in actuality, the
civilians control the government
and the military through
Congress and other means.”

Bardill also said since
Congress has ordered a
“downsizing” of the military all

of the services are being’

reduced. “While the Navy and
Air Force have a lot of money
tied up in machinery and
equipment, the Army has to cut
people because their money is

Jim Lukaszewski ASP

tied up in the soldiers,” he said.

While there is no longer the
focused threat with Eastern
Europe, Bardill said there are
more individual problems such
as Panama. Therefore, he said,
the US needs the capability of
deploying forces and preventing
war while at the same time, “We
are limited by this (need).”

Bardill said Levin can
continue to take ROTC classes
however he will be excluded
from the activities commissioned
officers partake in such as drills
and leadership labs. He said
Levin would also be ineligible
for scholarships.

Matilda Cuomo leads Holiday Hunger Appeal

By Tom Murnane
EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

New York’s first lady Matilda Cuomo,
honorary chairperson of the 6th Annual
Holiday Hunger Appeal, kicked off the
opening ceremonies at Colonie Center by
the first omament undecorated Christmas
tree.

A press conference preceded the
ceremony.

“Last year, more than $47,000 was
raised by the Hunger Appeal to benefit
the Regional Food Bank of northeastern
New York,” said Joe Oppedisano, co-
chair of the Hunger Appeal.

Michelle Caldwell from the Food Bank
said, “The Bank solicits donations from
local and national distributions, like Kraft
Foods, and then makes the food available
to food pantries, soup kitchens,
emergency shelters, day-care centers,
senior programs, and rehabilitation
centers.”

Matilda Cuomo

Caldwell said there are seven food
banks in New York State, and 200 across
the country. “Distributors donate much of
the food because it cannot be
commercially sold, because the packaging
is cosmetically damaged,” Caldwell said.

During 1989, the Food Bank distributed
six millions pounds of food to more than
390 member programs throughout the
twenty-four county area of the Greater
Capital District. This year, their burden
has increased to 412 programs, Caldwell
said.

Addressing a crows of over 40 people,
Oppedisano said when the Hunger Appeal
started,” over $5,000 was raised for only
100 programs...this year we hope to raise
over $50,000 for over 400 programs.”
“Geez how things have changed,” he said.

“The problem we have here folks, is
that the people who need our help
desperately end up hungry because there’s
just too much month left at the end of

their money,” Oppedisano said.

_ The Communications brokers of

America (CWA) were one of the first
groups to donate to the Appeal. After
handing a check to Mrs. Cuomo, a CWA
representative said, “We are grateful to
the Food Bank for being there for us
when...our NYNEX people went on
strike...we’re glad can be here for the
Food Bank.”

Mrs. Cuomo spoke briefly, discussing
the problem of hunger at home and
abroad. “In New York alone, 3.6 million
citizens will go hungry for a portion of
every month,” she said. “For every one
dollar we give, the Food Bank can
distribute fifteen dollars worth of food.”

Oppedisano agreed, “For every two
hundred bucks we raise, we can move one
ton of food out of our warehouse.”

The first lady called for Congress to
pass “HR 5596, the Universal Childhood
Security Art,” which includes funding for
the Women Infants and Children (WIC)
and Headstart programs.” WIC is such a
crucial program for this nation...it
provides mothers with the supplemental
pre-natal care (to prevent low-weight
babies) they require, if the bill’s critics
would just look at the numbers, it’s really
a cost-saving, efficient program,” Mrs.
Cuomo said.

“We need to get WIC passed,” she said.

Food Bank volunteers will invite
shoppers to make a donation and hang
ornament on the Christmas tree. The
public may also contribute to the Appeal
by donating bottles and cans in all local
Shop ‘N Save Supermarkets, Caldwell
said.

In addition to Shop “N Save, other
sponsors of the event were K-Lite 101

Don't judge Lincoln by today's standards

By Morgan Lyle
SENIOR EDITOR

Abraham Lincoln, in his
famous debates with Stephen
Douglas during the 1858
campaign for senator from
Illinois, made statements that
were, by today’s standards,
downright racist.

He also “played fast and
loose” with the Constitution
during the Civil War, detaining
opponents of the war without
having charged them with
crimes.

Still, he was the first and most
successful American president to
extend to African-Americans
“the right to rise,” took equality
and democracy to heart, and was
a pragmatic leader who “always
knew when the time was right to
do something.”

So said three prominent
Lincoln scholars in a discussion
of “Lincoln and American
Democracy,” part of Gov. Mario
Cuomo’s week-long program of
talks and exhibits dealing with
Lincoln’s thoughts and speeches.

The series is a celebration of
the publication of “Lincoln and
Democracy,” a book of Lincoln’s
writings edited by Cuomo and
Harold Holzer of the state
Department of Economic
Development.

The series included a display
at the State Museum featuring

original copies of the Thirteenth
Amendment, which abolished
slavery.

The book has been translated
into Polish, and 1,500 copies will
be given to Solidarity
schoolteachers there. Polish
educators had lamented the fact
that none of Lincoln’s writings
have been available in Polish
libraries since World War II.

Cuomo had been scheduled to
deliver the books personally, but
the trip has been postponed due
to upcoming Polish elections and
state budget difficulties at home.

The fact that Lincoln did
indeed say during the debates he
did not support black access to
the jury box or the ballot box
should not brand Lincoln a
racist, said history Professor
Hans Trefousse of Brooklyn
College.

“Tt sounds awful to hear in the
1990s what Lincoln said in 1858.
But we cannot judge what he
said by 1990 standards,”
Trefousse told an

Douglas’s Democratic Party
was “the party of white
supremacy and very cruel
expressions of white supremacy
in the Norther states,” and the
subordination of Africans was
the central theme of Douglas’s
campaign, McPherson said.

The panel, which also included
Professor Gabor Boritt of
Gettysburg College, said
Lincoln’s private writings never
indicated any racist tendencies.

In fact, it was Lincoin’s
commitment to “an equal start in
life,” “the right to rise,” and “
equal access to the opportunity
to make the most of your talents
in life... to enjoy the fruit of your
own labor,” which cost him his
life, Boritt said.

After pushing through
ratification of the Thirteenth
Amendment, Lincoln advocated
limited suffrage for blacks in a
speech. Among those in the
audience was John Wilkes
Booth, who turned to his
companion and said, “Did you
hear that? This is the last speech
he’ll ever make.”

Tt was.

The scholars rejected the
notion that because of violent
tacism, especially in the South,
and the Black Codes which
severely limited black
opportunities, the abolition of
slavery was little more than a
cosmetic change.

sharecropper may be,”
McPherson said.
The legal rights granted by the

abolition of slavery “represent a
sharp departure from the status
of slavery,” he said. A black man
may have been far from a first-
Class citizen, “but his wife and
children could no longer be sold

Lincoln never had the full

They also defended his record
on Constitutional freedoms
during the war. Habeas corpus -
the right to due process of law -
was indeed suspended in some
cases, seemingly in violation of
the Constitution. But they
pointed out the founding fathers
included a provision which
allows for suspension of habeas
corpus “in cases of rebellion or
invasion.”

Supreme Court Chief Justice
Taney declared that only
Congress had the power to take
such an action, a decision
Lincoln pointedly ignored.

On the whole, however,
“Lincoln’s record is really good”

Boritt said, noting that none of

executed, and that anti-war, anti-
Republican newspapers were

‘Teleconference

sheds light on
campus crime

[By Theo Turque
STAFF WRITER

A national teleconference
broadcasted from SUNYA
November 15 was designed to
alert on and off-campus
communities of the rising
instances of crime plaguing
many colleges and universities.

The televised portion of the
conference dealt with topics
such as withholding relevant
information about campus|
crimes and society’s perception
of campus crime.

Joanna Perlman, a student
volunteer for Don’t Walk
Alone, said her program
received positive feedback from
students and faculty. The Don’t
Walk Alone volunteers, she
said provide students with an
escort service at night to their
dorm room or car.

“It is a great feeling for us to}
help people,” Perlman said.

Political satire leads to ban for Stanford band

The “Incomparable Leland

for spoofing a controversy over

fans didn’t get the joke. In fact,
they booed the band off the field
and later flooded the Stanford
athletic department with calls.

The athletic department
responded by banning the band
from the Nov. 3 game, and
requiring it to audition its

routines for any future
performances.
“What we do is political satire.

We are certainly sorry that some
people misinterpreted it. It
wasn’t an attempt to mock them
(Oregonians) or their way of
life,” band member Linda Kaye

Brown told the Associated Press.
The band’s Oct. 27 routine
began by forming an owl’s head,
and changing the eyes to Xs.
Band members then formed

“AWOL,” switched the

However, apparently not

“A lot of students thought it

Stickel, a student at the
University of Oregon.

“It was an interesting spoof
that no one would dare do it in
town. I was surprised that people
were booing,” Stickel said.

Stanford’s band has a long
history of controversy. Marchers

Students combat negative publicity by cleaning up

By Jillian Risberg
STAFF WRITER

SUNYA students picked up
litter Sunday afternoon to
combat some of the negative
Publicity directed towards them
in recent weeks.

“Clean up day,” an event
sponsored by NYPIRG and
Earthbound, was designed for
two reasons. “We wanted’ to
show the community that we
really do care,” said Debbie
Sahler of NYPIRG. “This was an

attempt too clean up and make a
difference,” she said.

The Greek community was
also involved, Sahler said, citing
Alpha Omicron Pi and Psi
Gamma.

“Some of the bars donated
garbage bags to the event,”
Sahler said.

Dylan Mitchell of NYPIRG
agreed that a prime reason for
clean up day was the
improvement of community
relations. “We just wanted to

show the community that it’s
only a minority of the students
who are causing problems
downtown; not everyone at
SUNYA is going to the bathroom
on people’s property,” he said.
“The majority of students want
to promote something good,” he
said. “We want to make amends
for what has been going on.”
The event began with an
opening conference at 1lam in
the Brubacher Ballroom.
Cleaning began at noon.

Students travelled down
Ontario Street, Western Avenue,
and around the bar vicinities to
Pick up garbage. They were
divided into teams of three
people, Mitchell said, with two
gathering paper and disposable
garbage products, and one
picking up cans and recyclable
materials, he said.

“The plant department of
Albany provided a truck and
dumpsters to dispose of the
garbage,” Mitchell said.

Anti-gay
Continued from page 5

At the University of Illinois,
someone papered a dorm with
fliers criticizing the amount of
gay awareness literature on the
hall’s bulletin board.

Along the same lines, an Ohio
State senator appeared at a
meeting of Ohio State
University’s Board of Trustees to
blast OSU’s creation of an
Office of Gay, Lesbian and
‘Bisexual Student Services.

“I guess I’m rather concerned
that somehow we’re endorsing
for encouraging or lending
credibility or giving any stature
to a gay, homosexual, lesbian
organization,” Sen. Gary C.
Suhadolnik said.

OSU’s Board of Trustees has
promised a response to
Suhadolnik.

Meanwhile, at the University
of North Dakota (UND) in
Grand Forks, someone wrote
anti-homosexual messages in
chalk on campus sidewalks,
apparently in response toa UND
homosexual group’s observance
of National Coming Out Day on
Oct. 11.

The messages were “very
negative and had a violent tone,”
reported Bonnie Clark,
spokeswoman for UND’s
Organization for Alternative
Lifestyles (OAL).

Clark said the negative
messages showed up the night
after her group had put their own
chalk markings around campus
in support of homosexuals and
National Coming Out Day, when
homosexual students
traditionally show support for
homosexual rights.

A week later the Dakota
Student, UND’s student
newspaper, printed a letter from
UND College Republicans
President Sean LaPlant, in which
he defended the negative
chalking and called homosexuals
“Irresponsible sexual deviants
spreading the Black Plague of
the ‘90’s in a careless fashion.”

As a result, two Republican
nominees for Ohio’s legislature
asked that LaPlant’s name be
removed from their political ads
appearing in the Dakota Student.

Berrill thinks the increased
hostility is the result of “an
explosion in gay and lesbian
activism” on college campuses.

“The price of increased
visibility is increased
vulnerability” to written insults
and hate crimes, he added.

In early September, fliers
posted around Duke University’s
library called for students to “rid
the university of homosexuals,
freaks and commies.”

UND’s Clark said the furor at
her school actually helped her
group, drawing attention and
support from administrators and
other students.

“We’ve come out okay,” Clark
said. “I think we’re on the other
side of it now.”

CNN ruling violates
freedom of the press

The Supreme Court ruled Sunday, by
a vote of 7-2, not to overturn a lower
court order that banned Cable News
Network from running recordings of
ex-Panamanian leader Manuel
Noriega’s conversation with his
lawyers.

It is the first time that the Supreme
Court has ever allowed a prior restraint
on the publication of news.

Justices Thurgood Marshall and
Sandra Day O’Connor, the two
dissenting voices in this matter,
summed up the case by saying it is one
“of extraordinary consequences for
freedom of the press.”

They are right.

The courts are arguing that the Sixth
Amendment guarantees the right to a
fair trial and that the broadcast of these
tapes may in fact violate that right.

But what about the First
Amendment? What about the rights of
a free press in a democratic society?

The bigger constitutional issue that
should be addressed concerns the
monitoring of a _ prisoner’s
conversations.

It is one of the fundamental principles
of this nation that we are innocent until
proven guilty. Yet those awaiting trial
are often stripped of their basic rights.

Noriega, no matter what the public
may feel about him, should be allowed
to have conversations with his lawyers
without being monitored.

By infringing upon this right, the
prison, it could be argued, is serving to
violate the Sixth Amendment.

The government is blaming the media
for doing their job. They are claiming
that the broadcasting of the tapes will
violate the defendants rights. But yet it
is the government who initially allows
these violations to occur.

In essence, they are blaming the
carrier instead of the source.

The tapes will now go back to the
federal District Court in Miami so that
a U.S. district judge can examine their
content to determine whether CNN can
play them.

No First Amendment violation there.

Individual contributions perfect the whole

In a recent phone conversation, my father
told me he's boycotting the news in favor of the
funny pages because the news is too
depressing. I agree with him: unfortunately,
both the papers and the TV are filled with
reports of budget cuts, military buildup in the
Persian Gulf and increasing acts of racism and
anti-Semitism.

But you see, I am not a government official,

Kerri Lewis

nor am I an economist or sociologist, so I do
not have the authority to make sweeping
statements condemning national politics.
However, as a student who is perhaps a little
idealistic, I can ask my fellow constituents to
act. Please don't just complain to each other
about the upcoming tuition hikes. Find out why
the governor has chosen to raise the tuition and
then if you disagree with his decision, confront
him by mail, by phone or by print. Don't get me
wrong: by doing so, you alone will probably
not radically change his actions. But, if no one
says anything then we students have lost what
influence we may have. There are 16,000 of us.
Let's make our large numbers work for us.

I know by now you are saying to yourselves,
this woman does not know what she's talking
about. She's just one of those annoying liberals
getting up on a soap box again. Forgive me, for
that 's not what I'm trying to do. I just want
somehow for people to understand I am
concerned about our apathy. Granted, some
groups on this campus are active in affecting
social change, but these groups represent only a
minority of the students on this campus. I think

a common misconception is if you can't make a
big change then it's not worth it for you to work
towards a smaller one. This, however, couldn't
be further from the truth. All of you in your
own way can affect a change. For example; I
write, someone else may petition their local
legislator, and someone else still may become
involved in a community outreach program.

If, however, you are not inclined to involve
yourself in radical changes, I strongly believe
people can integrate their political views in
their chosen career. In other words, a person
doesn't actually have to petition Congress to
help disadvantaged people. For example, when
I graduate I intend to go to law school, but
most probably, I will practice an area of law
which will allow me to defend victims of
discrimination.

Again, those of you who have read up to this
point, and haven't given up on me yet, deserve
a commendation: what I have said can easily be
dismissed as unrealistic. But, I urge you, if you
have any political convictions at all to take
them seriously. One doesn't have to be
picketing at the state Capitol on a weekly basis
to feel strongly about something. Do what you
can in your own way, in your own life. You'll

“see,:it really will work. If nothing else, you'll

gain the small satisfaction of knowing you
actually did something instead of just being an
armchair quarterback.The next time you turn on
the news and grumble over its content, think of
what I've said, and better yet, do something!
Then perhaps you might actually enjoy
teading the news section of your local paper
instead of going straight to the comics and
sports pages.

In the introduction to his

latest book, Stephen King makes a
comparison between his career and
that of baseball superstar Robin
Yount. For what it’s worth, King’s first
novel, Carrie, appeared the same year
that Yount started playing for the
Brewers. His last collection of
novellas, Different Seasons, appeared in
1982, when MVP Yount led the
Brewers to the American League
pennant.

Adam Meyer

Four Past Midnight, a
collection of four novellas, is full of
both the typical and the unusual. The
lead story, “The Langoliers,” is King
at his most formulaic: Take some
people, isolate them from the rest of
the world, sprinkle in some monsters,
stir well, and let it simmer for a
couple hundred pages.

En route to Boston, Brian
Engle wakes up to find that most of
the passengers of American Pride’s
Flight 29 have vanished. Among the
survivors are Dinah Bellman, a little
blind girl; Albert Kaussner, who
dreams of being “the fastest Hebrew
west of the Mississippi;” Laurel
Stevenson, a schoolteacher; Nick
Hopewell, a bloody smart British
chap; Robert Jenkins, a mystery
writer; and Craig Toomy, a batty
businessman.

The plane is landed at Bangor
International Airport by Engle, who
just so happens to be a pilot. Our

ragtag crew of survivors quickly
discover that people did not just
vanish from the plane, but from the
entire world.

Basically “The Langoliers”
operates on the same level as an
earlier King novella, “The Mist.” It’s
silly, and the author knows it.
Nevertheless, he’s determined to give
you the ride of your life, and if he
doesn’t quite succeed, it’s not for lack
of trying.

Coming up second is “Secret
Window, Secret Garden,” which ranks
as one of the best King stories of any
length. The main character is novelist
Morton Rainey, who finds a man on
his doorstep claiming that Mort stole
his story. At first he figures this guy,
John Shooter, is a nut. So Shooter
gives him a copy of the story in
question, “Secret Window, Secret
Garden,” as proof. All this proves to
Mort, however, is that Shooter
plagiarized his own “Sowing Season.”

But Shooter won’t leave Mort
alone until he sees some hard
evidence. He gives Mort three days to
secure a copy of the magazine in
which “Sowing Season” appeared. If
Mort can provide that, Shooter
promises to leave him alone.

Mort knows he has a copy of
the magazine at his old house, now
occupied by his ex-wife. All he has to
do is have her send him the magazine
and his troubles will be over. But
before he can get in touch with her,
she calls to tell him that the house has
been burned down. What follows is a
chilling portrayal of a man’s descent

The leaves are almost gone from their branches. Every

now and then, a gust of wind comes along and those
that are left let go. Sometimes I wonder if Autumn is a
festival time for all of the leaves, where they put on
their colors and go to parties where carbon dioxide
cakes are served. There they tell stories about their
ancestors, like the uncle who never learned the formula
for photosynthesis, and previous Autumns, like the one
where there was a terrible snowstorm in October and
whole branches were shed. They probably have
contests to see who can stay on the longest, and they
probably despise the oak leaves that hang on until
spring. I bet they make fun of the pine trees.

into madness, easily as good as the
best Robert Bloch thrillers. “Secret
Window, Secret Garden” is a rare
piece of vintage King.

Next up is “The Library
Policeman.” It’s an experimental sort
of work, with King trying to emulate
the work of Peter Straub, his
collaborator on The Talisman. The
result is a powerful, intelligently-
written ghost story.

Insurance salesman Sam
Peebles has to prepare a last minute
speech for the Rotary Club. He
doesn’t know the first thing about
speech-writing, so on a friend’s advice
he heads for the local library.

An innocent beginning for
such a horrifying adventure. The
librarian, Ardelia Lortz, is very
helpful —too helpful, you might say.
She gives Sam several books to assist
him, with the reminder that they’re
due back in a week. If they’re late,
Ardelia warns, she just might have to
send the Library Cop after him.

Sure enough, Sam forgets
about the books, only to discover that
Ardelia Lortz does not make idle
promises. Sam’s only chance of
escaping the nightmare he’s fallen
into is to uncover the secrets of the
past, which lead him into a web of
child molestation, vampirism, and
more.

“The Library Policeman” is
brilliant for nine-tenths of the way,
but runs out of magic in the last few
pages. King, unwilling to fully
cultivate the seeds of darkness he has
planted, resorts to utter silliness in

Kristine Morforgen

mer With Four Past Midnight

order to resolve the story neatly.

Batting clean-up is “The Sun
Dog.” Yawn. For his fifteenth
birthday, Kevin Delevan gets a
Polaroid Sun 660 camera. His dream
come true, only it turns out to be a
nightmare when the camera
continually produces the same
photograph: one of a dog sitting by a
fence.

Kevin brings the camera to
old Pop Merrill, who specializes in the
unusual. Pop discovers that Kevin's
initial assumption is not true: the
camera doesn’t take the same picture
every time; in each succeeding photo,
the dog appears a little closer to the
unseen photographer, and each time
he becomes more and more vicious-
looking.

In order to flesh out “The Sun
Dog” to novella length, King goes off
on various tangents which have no
bearing on the story at hand. The
suspense is taut throughout, despite
the fact that there are virtually no
surprises here. Most everything in
“The Sun Dog” is a rehash of material
King or someone else has already
done to death. Even the characters
look like they were plucked out of old
King novels.

Overall, however, Four Past
Midnight gives you your money’s
worth. Stephen King says he'd like to
think that he, like Robin Yount, still
has a few good years left in him. I'd
say so. Fans can only hope that long
after Yount’s playing days are over,
King is still in the ballgame.

A Conilomenation Of Enerketic Mageut

The Cavedogs/Mojo Nixon/ The Dead Milkmen
Campus Center Ballroom
Thursday, November 15

The tout is called “Amok Across America,” and what an appropriate title it
is. The ballroom was packed with students, adults and even younger kids. So
the Cavedogs took the stage and played “Tayter Country,” a track from their
debut LP Joyrides For Shut-ins. Their blend of twangy country-pop was a crowd
pleaser, especially when they played “Leave Me Alone” and that Tom Jones
chestnut “What's New, Pussycat?”

Next up was MojoNixon, the guy who plays rock like it should be — lean
and lowdown. His new band, the Toadlickers, is tight and propelled him
through a set full of the old favorites: “Stuffin’ Martha's Muffin,” Debbie
Gibson is Pregnant With My Two-headed Love Chile” and of course, “Elvis Is
Everywhere.” Mojo gyrates, leers at his ‘peoples’ and makes dirty jokes. When
he says he wants to sin with Martha Quinn, he probably means it.

The Dead Milkmen are one of my favorite bands, so seeing them for a third
time this year was much anticipated. Even though they were “so dog-tired and
wor out” in the words of bassist Dave Blood, they played an energetic set that
was more of a greatest hits set than a show in support of the most recent
record. The crowd moshed to “Big Time Operator,” “Rastabilly” and “Moron.”
But when singer Rodney Anonymous told the tale of ‘the best Thanksgiving
ever’ during “Bitchen Camaro,” the crowd went wild.

The entire evening was permeated by an air of rebellion. Mojo led a chorus
of “Censorship is bullshit!” and Rodney told us not to fight Exxon’s war. The
kids didn’t mind. I didn’t mind. We were all there to have a good time, and we

Tiffany *
New Inside
MCA

Tiffany, the former “mall queen” we
all know and love, has done it again
with the release of her new album
which is a slight departure from her
former work. In the past five years,
Tiffany has claimed to have gone
through a lot of growing up, and has
finally started making the music she’s
always dreamed of doing. Well, some
dreams should be kept to one’s self.
New Inside, Tiffany’s third album, is
chock full of the usual uptempo dance
songs, with a sprinkle of love ballads
here and there. Unfortunately, in this
latest effort, she takes herself a little
bit too seriously. Her first album was
silly, and it was somewhat amusing to
listen to a 14 year old redhead sing a
Beatle’s tune with her scratchy pre-
pubescent voice. Now, that scratchy

voice is no longer amusing, it’s just
plain annoying.

In her new album, Tiffany, being the
true teenager at heart, copies the hot,
trendy styles of the pop music of
today and assimilates them quite
haphazardly into her songs. So,
maybe her new record should be
called, Tiffany Tries To Get Soul (But
Fails). Believe it or not, Tiffany raps!
Needless to say, she is not one of the
best rappers on the music scene today.

However, if you like the sound of
contemporary pop (mainly, if you
always keep your radio set at Fly 92 ),
then you'll probably fall madly in love
with this album. There are no
surprising lyrics, nor are there any

interesting melodies; basically, there is
nothing about this album that is going
to shock you (except maybe, her
egotistical song, “Tiff’s Back”).

The Rollins Band/Wartime

Turned On| Fast Food for Thought
Chryslais Records

‘Some people look at side projects as
just another way for a band to milk
their fans. Although this may be true
of some side projects (Revenge, for
example), one case where it’s just not
true is when it’s the Rollins Band and
Wartime. When you have a
concentrated intensity like the Rollins
Band does, skeptics will tend to think
that the band members can’t hold
their own. Whenever the Band does
anything, it is always praised
generously, and believe me, they
work hard for it.

Turned On is a sonic snapshot of the
band in its full glory, live and
untamed, Although it’s quite hard to
capture the energy the band generate
during a performance (hell, it’s
enough to power New York City ona
100-degree night) this album does an
adequate job. All the staples are here,
from “What Have I Got” and “Do It”
to the rousing “Hard.” You can see
Chris Haskett almost ripping the
strings off his guitar, and Sim Caine
and Andrew Weiss displaying the
telepathic link that makes them the
best rhythm section in rock today.
And don’t forget about feeling Henry
sweat. Of course, this is no substitute
for the real thing, so catch them next
time they play near you: They play
about 200 shows a year, so it
shouldn't be too hard.

Now the side project part. Wartime

is just Henry and Andrew on their
own, doing something totally
removed from the Rollins Band.
Wartime is a more electronic groove

- {as opposed to the Band’s organic

throb) that’s based more in rap than
post-hardcore. Not to say that the Fast
Food For Thought EP is a rap album,
but calling it a distant cousin to Public
Enemy wouldn’t be wrong. Each song
is based on a super fat (we're talking a
bass you can feel, a bass that rattles
your teeth) bass, fed through a wah-
wah and (sometimes) flanger. It’s a
very different sound from anything
that’s out there, and it is one of the
most innovative records I’ve heard in
a long while. The urgency of the
music fits Henry’s “face-the-truth-
stop-wasting-time-and-deal-with-
reality” lyrics like a glove. Let’s hope
that this will be more than a one-shot
deal. Wartime is a welcome kick in the
ass.

One question that burns in my
mind is this: Why is it that Wartime is
on a major label (not a bad thing, by
the way. The band are very happy
with the speed at which the record
was put out) and the Rollins Band is
still on an indie? Both bands are
equally intense, the only difference is
that while the Rollins Band can blow
any band off the stage and then blow
your mind, Wartime blows your mind
from the first second. Words like that
are reserved for the greatest of bands,
and these two definitely qualify.

NOY YOUR AVERAGE KRAYS

The Krays is a new twist on an old
Hollywood standby, the “rags to
riches” gangster story, here
transported to England and re-
examined through the iconoclastic
vision of director Peter Medak. Based
on the true story of Reggie and
Ronald Kray, twin brothers who ruled
London’s underworld during the
1960’s, the film paints a careful,
precise picture of the forces and
events that shaped them — from
their East End upbringing, to their
eventual arrest in 1969.

Russell Wolin

The boys have an unusually close
relationship with their cynical mum
Violet (Billie Whitlaw),who takes a
dim view of men in general (and their
father especially), but seems not to

notice the gender of her children.
Surrounded by independent, tough-
as-nails aunts, they learn early in life
to see the world in terms of “us and
them.” This is encouraged to some
degree consciously by Violet, who
sternly reprimands them in their
adolescence for boxing against each
other at a carnival: “...We never, ever
fight each other,” she warns, “not for
money, not for fun, not for no reason.”

After serving time for refusing to
fight in the Korean War (making them
second generation draft dodgers —
their father spent WWII hidden in the
attic), Ronald and Reg find a way to
make their Two Musketeers outlook
work for them. Through exceptionally
violent means, including more than a
little swordplay, the Krays’ become
London’s answer to Al Capone,
hacking a place themselves alongside
the royal family, as a British Media

obsession.

While Ron rules the empire of clubs
and rackets with insane paranoia and
cruelty, the gentler Reg tries to enjoy
the fruits of labor, taking a wife and,
to some degree, settling down. But
Reg’s obsessive pampering, combined
with the stigma of being married to a
gangster, drives Frances (Kate
Hardie), a nice, not-too-bright,
middle-class girl into suicidal
depression.

Medak deftly blends the story of the
Krays’ personal tragedy into an eerie
post-war England backdrop, where
the aging war survivors suffer quietly
in their living rooms, watching battle
footage on T.V. and reliving old
traumas. No one in this film suffers
more apparently than the women,
who have to fight every day simply to
survive in the brutal world of men,
before and after the war. Ironically,
the Krays’ aunts and mother never

recognize in them the embodiment of
their laments.

The twins are portrayed by real life
brothers, Gary and Martin Kemp,
both members of the rock group
Spandau Ballet. They complement
each other superbly, displaying a
natural symbiosis, that must be owed
in part at least to siblinghood.

The Krays functions less as a
gangster movie than as an intense
character study — Medak’s most
successful venture into this territory
since his brilliant 1972 treatment, The
Ruling Class. While blood and guts
abound, they never overwhelm the
subtlety of this unique telling of an

YOME: ALONE: SHOULD PRE ToQRFY AlcONE

Foregoing the usual convention of a
movie review, I have compiled ten
reasons why not to see Home Alone.
Starring Macaulay Culkin, it is the
story of a moppet who booby-traps
his home against burglers after being
mistakenly left behind by his family
when they take a Christmas vacation.

Clarence Eckerson

1. For starters, Home Alone is bound
to cure the most acute case of
insomnia (This may actually be good
news to those suffering from lack of
sleep).

2. Surprisingly, Home Alone was
written and produced by John
Hughes, who has made some of the
most popular and intelligent teenage
comedy-drama films including The
Breakfast Club, Ferris Beuller’s Day Off,
and Sixteen Candles. It’s too bad he
couldn’t parlay that success to
prepubescents. His script gives the
eight-year-old Culkin a spirited
resourcefulness without common
sense. Sure, he can go to the
supermarket and buy things like
toilet paper and detergent, but not
once does he think of calling a friend,

neighbor, a relative or the police for
help when his house is infiltrated by
robbers. Shame on Hughes. Most of
the action happens because it is
convenient, regardless of whether it is
logical or not.

3. There’s a running gag involving a
driveway statue that isn’t funny the

5. The superficial relationship that
develops between Culkin and a
supposedly mean old neighbor is as
phony as the fake snow and ice that
covers the streets of the town. Are we
really expected to believe a bucket of
water, thrown over the steps leading
up to the house, can freeze inches

first time — never mind the three or
four repetitions that follow.

4. Home Alone doesn’t explore any
new concepts in comedy. That’s kind
of ironic, since the director’s name is
Chris Columbus.

thick in a matter of minutes?
Especially when the streets and
walkways (next to the staircase) have
puddles of water and melted snow on
them. If anyone has an answer to this
unusual weather phenomenon, please

clue me in.

6. My suspicions confirmed. I
thought I was being too harsh on
Home Alone until I realized the
audience — filled with youngsters
and their parents on a holiday
shopping break — was mute for long
periods of the film. If there was
anyone Home Alone could please, I
thought it would be the kids.

7. John Candy and Catherine
O'Hara, two very talented and funny
people, aren’t given a lick of comical
dialogue. Both are misused.

8. There’s enough Christmas music
to make you sick.

9. Macaulay Culkin is a good child
actor (see Jacob’s Ladder), but his
screaming fits in Home Alone are
annoying. (Note: for some reason, the
kids in attendance did find this
overbearing laugh device funny.)

10. Halfway through Home Alone, I
was considering sneaking out and
taking my chances with Rocky V.
Maybe I should have. After all,
unintentional humor is better than

none at all.

Nazification of Zionists

To the Editor:

We are addressing responses to last Tuesday’s letters
by Lorne Newman of RZA and Adam Chernichaw.

First let us address the Kahane issue. Jewish or not,
how can anyone in the right state of mind possibly mourn
Kahane, a militant rabbi who formed the Jewish Defense
League (JDL), not as guardian angels, but rather to wipe
out blacks from the streets of New York and whose
policies emulate from those of Nazi Germany. The only
difference being that the word “Jew” is replaced by
“Arab.” Kahane was anti-Semitic (the word Semite has
always been misused to mean Jew but it actually
represents the indigenous culture of Mesopotamia) and
he publicly and indiscriminately insulted Arabs by
referring to them as a ‘plague’ or ‘disease’ as well as
leading rallies with “Death to Arab” mottos. Kahane
played with the emotions of Jewish fundamentalists by
directing their anger at Arabs like Hitler played with
German emotions and used Jews as a scapegoat. Kahane
was even exiled by the right-wing Israeli government in
1988 because if his irrational slander and conduct.

Our second point refers to the Zionist ideology of
putting the blame on other Arab countries for the
Palestinian refugee problem. To examine and determine
the cause of a problem, one must look at the root of it,
not the consequences. The root of the refugee problem is
not the Arab so-called “exploitation” of Palestinians, it is
the raping of Palestinian land by the Zionists of the
continuous deportation and exiling of the indigenous
Palestinians from their rightful homeland. Zionists
clearly and constantly attempt to rationalize their
behavior by blaming it on the Arab countries. But those
who planted the seed are responsible for taking care of it,
that is the Zionists.

In both these issues, we can see a pattern. This pattern

Student Committee for Palestinian Rights

Writing was inaccurate

To the Editor:

I would like to correct Sports Editor Andrew Schotz
and his article printed in the October 30 edition regarding
the All African Peoples Revolutionary Party’s Forum of
October 25.

To begin with, your choice of title [FORUM
ADVOCATES UNITY AMONG. AFRICAN
AMERICAN STUDENTS] was misleading and did not
address the topic which the panelists went to great
lengths to address. It should have been your objective to
focus on highlighting the theme. All four panelists-
including Lulu HANCHARD not Blanchard- represented
student organizations whose members are African
descendants from Africa, the Caribbean, as well as North,
Central, and South America. Thus the purpose was not to
simply stress unity among Africans born in America, but
to assess our responsibility to act as an African student
collective striving for the liberation of our people. Thus,
the title of the program “THE ROLE OF THE AFRICAN
STUDENT- FOR THE 90'S”.

As to my discussion of historical student movements,
you showed little more than gross incompetence by
tidiculously misquoting me as saying “... the University
of Havana which aided in the overthrow of Fidel Castro’s
regime in Cuba after a six year war.” Not only are your
journalism skills disgracing my intellect and presentation
of the evening, but your common sense itself is
disgraceful. t

The struggle headed by Fidel Castro and the University
of Havana’s “class of 1953”, sparked the Cuban
Revolution which came to a head in 1959. For six years
they struggled in every inch of Cuba and the mountains
of Mexico to organize the masses and forge a
revolutionary movement against Batista’s regime. This
was given as one example of students organizing against
oppression, either in the form of capitalism, colonialism,

or imperialism.

It has been our experience that we are always
misquoted whether we provide a closing statement for
the reporter or not. It was on this basis I refused to
provide a statement for the program so as not to take part
in being further frustrated by the consistent inadequacies
of ASP Reporters. Unfortunately, we have been subject
to this once again.

May I suggest that Mr. Schotz stick to football games
and that all reporters invest more time in properly
reporting an event. It might also be to everyone’s
advantage for reporters to carry a good quality tape
recorder.

Lulu Hanchard

Neighbors have rights

To the Editor:

I have recently received several reports of drunk and
disorderly conduct, indecent exposure and violations of
the state’s open-container law by some University
students. Such behavior calls for public condemnation by
all of us.

I cannot minimize the distressing nature of this
behavior. Such actions are destructive— not only to the
quality of life of our neighbors, but, ultimately, to our
collective dignity as well.

Even though we acknowledge that persons outside the
University community may be participants in this
conduct, we cannot and will not ignore the reality that we
too are responsible for causing our neighbors pain. And
make no mistake about it, it is pain—not fun, hijinks,
letting off steam or traditional “town and gown” conflict.
It is blatant disregard for the rights and dignity of our
neighbors, and must stop.

I have written to the State Liquor Authority, urging it
to increase enforcement of it statutes and regulations
regarding service to underage drinkers and intoxicated
persons. I am calling upon Central Council of the Student
Association and other student leaders to join me in
publicly condemning this conduct.

Beyond this, however, I call for renewed pledge of
individual responsibility and civic awareness, one that
befits this University’s tradition of caring and concern for
its neighbors.

possession of marijuana, and 289 traffic
violation summonses were handed out,
Foley said.

There were no serious drunk driving
accidents or fatalities reported in the
county Friday night, Foley said.

Foley, a SUNYA alumnus who has
written books on stopping DWI, said his
organization has helped make it harder to
plea bargain out of DWI offenses, and has
helped raise fines from $11 to $250 and
$350.

Money to fund the Blanket Patrol
comes from DWI fines, Foley said. Those
fines are also used to fund alcohol
treatment agencies, as well as education
and law enforcement programs.

SAT

Continued from front page
specific information.”

NYPIRG used the New York Truth In
Testing Law to determine what constitutes
biased exam questions. The following
question, they said is an example of a
biased SAT question “Runner is to
marathon as Oarsman is to (correct
answer) Regatta.” The report says the
Golden Rule would remove questions like
this which they say discriminate against
students who “are unfamiliar with the
activities of upper-middle class
Americans.”

DOES THE REAL
WORLD LOOK
REAL

- DEPRESSING ?

Gayle Bowden from the Albany
NAACP chapter which co-sponsored the
event, attacked what she called “ the
Department's callous indifference to the
discrimination women and students of
color face on the exam,” she added,
“There is no justification for this state-
sponsored racism and sexism.”

In addition to the NAACP, other co-
sponsors of the rally were the Puerto
Rican Legal and Education Defense Fund,
NOW, the National Center For Fair and
Open Testing, and the New York Civil
Liberties Union.

Blair Horner, NYPIRG’s Legislative
Director, explained, “The reason we’re
here is because we’re tired of being put
off by the Commissioner (Sobol) and the
Board of Regents... the time for sitting
down with Sobol is past. He had his
chance. We don’t mind hitting the streets
if that’s what we have to do for them to
realize that we mean business.”

Nadya Lawson, NYPIRG’s
spokesperson, said the “Board of
Regents...must honor their own
Department’s research by changing the
scholarship formula.”

NYPIRG claims the SED maintains it
is the state legislature’s responsibility “for
addressing the problems...”

Horner ,however, asserted it was “well-
within Sobol’s power to make positive
changes in time for March’s competition.”

In an informal survey taken on Friday,
several area high school students were
concerned about NYPIRG’s proposed
formula change because, they said, if the

(The Comedu Works-

Vat the Days Inn Route 9W and 787

1/2 Price Admission w/cou

formula is changed to a 90/10 split with a
heavier emphasis on grades and their
curriculum is more difficult than other
schools’, they would receive lower
grades.

One high school junior said,” A grade
of ‘B’ in my school would get an ‘A’ in
another school no sweat!”

The March 1988 SED memorandum
supported the continuation of the 50/50
split based on student concern, saying a
90/10 split would “ magnify the inherent
problems (in comparing ) achievements of
students from schools with different-
quality programs and non-uniform
grading practices...”

Lawson responded, “The (programs)
need a complete legislative overhaul by
moving from a county-by- county
awarding system to one that allocates
scholarships on a high school -by -high

school basis.
Sobol has an obligation to do everything
in his power to eradicate bias... until the
legislature can deal with the issue...so far ,
he has chosen to ignore the sexist
ramifications of his department’s
policies.”

After the rally Lawson and Horner led
the Education Watch Project leaders (from
the approximately dozen colleges
represented at the rally) inside the SED
Building to Sobol’s office, where they
were turned away by Sobol’s secretary.

“If we don’t hear from him within a
week, we’ll hit them ( the Board and
Sobol) again,” Lawson said to the
protesters, “Sometimes you have to put a
little fear in their hearts to get things
moving... if they don’t move, we'll be
back.”

Principles For A Just Community

The University at Albany, State
University of New York, is an academic
community dedicated 18 the ideals of |
justice. A university is above all a place
where intellectual life is central and
where faculty, staff, and students strive
together for excellence in the pursuit of
knowledge. It is a particular kind of
community with special purposes.
Moreover, this academic community, if it
is to support our broader ideals, must
also be just.

There is no definitive theory of
justice. The differences in these theories
are to be respected. However, among all
democratic theories of justice the
principles of equality and liberty are
basic. These principles are no less central
toa free university.

Equality is a necessary part of any
university that claims to be a democratic
institution. Distinctions based on
irrelevant differences are ruled out.
Ascriptive characteristics such as race,
religion, gender, class, ethnic
background, cr sexual preference
determine neither the value of
individuals nor the legitimacy of their
views. Only the merit of the individual
as a participant in the academic life of the
community is worthy of consideration.
Bigotry in any form is antithetical to the
University’s ideals on intellectual,
Political, and moral grounds and must be
challenged and rejected.

iis Liberty is an equally precious

academic principle because the free
expression of ideas is the central part of
university life. To sustain the
advancement and dissemination ©.
knowledge and understanding, the
University must allow the free
expression of ideas, no matter how
outrageous. Protecting speech in all its
forms, however, does not mean
condoning all ideas or actions. The
University sets high standards for itself
and denounces the violation of these
standards in unequivocal terms.
Harassment and other behavior that
intrudes upon the rights of others is
unacceptable and subject to action under
the guidelines of the institution.

There is no guarantee that the
principles of justice, once stated, are
realized. The University must constantly
remind itself of its mission and ethos. A
just community is always on guard
against injustice, always struggling to
move closer to the ideal of justice, always
asserting its dedication to justice. The
assertion of justice takes place in every
part of the community: in the classroom,
the lecture hall, the library, the residence
and dining hall, wherever members of
the University come together. It is the
responsibility of all faculty, staff, and
students to keep the ideals of justice
uppermost in the minds of the members
of the University so that they may be
achieved.

Sixth place for Albany cross-country at NCAA Regionals

By Andrew Schotz
SPORTS EDITOR

Saratoga Spa State Park
hosted the NCAA Division III
Regional Conference for men’s
cross-country on November 10.
Of the 31 schools eligible to
compete, 24 fielded teams,
swelling the 10-foot wide race
course with 143 runners. Racing
adversity was heightened by
temperatures in the 30’s, and
continuous rain before and
during the race.The Danes had to
contend with downhill dirt roads
converted to mudslides, puddles
of unknown depth, and limited
vision due to rain, which turned
parked cars and picnic tables
into dangerous obstacles. As
spectators’ hands went numb,
runners dressed in summer
uniforms had to feel the threat of
hypothermia. For most, the race

had become more of a contest of
will than outspeeding an
opponent. The Danes took sixth
place in the event, which head
coach Roberto Vives regarded as
“(the team’s) best finish yet in
my five years here.”

The top ten teams were:
University of Rochester (51
points), RIT (85), Ithaca (95),
Cortland (100), Fredonia (144),
Albany (226), St. Lawrence
(242), Binghamton (247), RPI
(250), and Hartwick (283).

In Division III, the top three
finishers entered the meet
ranked second, twelfth, and
eighth nationally, respectively.
The places and times of Albany
runners were; Joe Ahearn (15th,
26:41), Bill Vanos (44, 27:29),
David Page (49, 27:33), Joe
McCullen (58, 27:48), Keith

Reilly (60, 27:53), Todd Rogers
(66, 28:03), and Jeff Sullivan
(92, 28:34).

Assistant coach Kevin
Williams was especially
impressed with Ahearn’s finish.
“It gave Albany the edge to
ensure victory over St.
Lawrence, Binghamton and
RPI,” he said.

The team will be losing
departing seniors Ahearn and
Page, both of whom ran their
best seasons ever for Albany
State, and to Scott McNamara,
who entered the season a major
contender, but was slowed by a
broken collarbone.

Though the team will lose its
top-ranked runner, Williams
expects success for the team in
the next few years. The two
departing seniors will probably

be replaced by freshman Kevin
Hunter, a strong alternate this
year, and Chuck Tanner, who
was unable to compete this
season due to a foot injury.
McCullen has a_ strong
possibility of breaking the the
26-minute barrier, according to
Williams.

Although this was Vanos’ first
season ever in a competitive
sport, he alternated the position
of team front-runner with

Ahearn. Reilly, who Williams

labeled “the team’s ‘Iron Horse”,
will be depended on for his
consistent, strong performances.
Rogers is expected to round out
an impressive lineup for next
year. Vanos, Reilly, and Rogers
are all freshmen and will have
three full years to improve their
times.

Bonds wins
MVP in landslide

Pittsburgh

(AP) Barry Bonds can tell his
kids what his father could never
tell him: that he was the National
League’s Most Valuable Player.

Bonds completed a near sweep
of top NL awards by the
Pittsburgh Pirates, receiving 23
of 24 first place votes and 331 of
a possible 336 points in voting
by the Baseball Writers’ of
America Association. Two
writers in each NL city voted.

Bonilla, who teamed with
Bonds to lead the Pirates to their
first NL East titles in 11 years,
had the other first place vote and
212 points. Darryl Strawberry,
the New York Mets’ slugger who
recently signed with the Los
Angeles Dodgers, was third with
167 points.

Herndon, Virginia
(AP) NFL commissioner Paul
\Tagliabue reinstated Dexter
Manley on Monday, a year after
lhe was banned for substance
labuse. The Washington Redskins
immediately placed the
defensive end on waivers and
three teams expressed interest in
signing him.

The NFL, in a statement
released from New York, said
Manley must avoid drug
involvement and participate in a
“structured support program” to
remain in the league.

The league’s decision was

accompanied by a statement
from the Redskins saving they
decided to place the nine-year
pro on waivers. The Redskins’
all-time sack leader with 97, was
in the final year of his contract
with the Redskins.

“We are pleased that the
commissioner has reinstated
Dexter Manley, thus giving
Dexter a chance to prove
himself to his football fans. We
wish him well,” the Redskins’
statement said.

The statement from
Tagliabue’s office said Manley
would be eligible to begin

practicing Tuesday but will not
be eligible to play in a game
until Dec. 9.

The teams interested in
Manley are Phoenix, the Los
Angeles Rams and Philadelphia.

“I would like to thank
Commissioner Tagliabue for
approving my petition for
reinstatement,” Manley said in a
statement. “I am most grateful to
the commissioner for the faith,
trust and confidence he has
placed in me. I will make every
effort never to violate that trust.”

said he heard that five teams are

Albany takes third place in Capital District

Foley helps RPI nip Albany in opening round, but Danes rebound against Skidmore

By Wayne Stock
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Mention RPI in the Albany lockerroom
and you’ll see some frustrated looking
faces. Say the name George Foley and
you'll see those faces cringe.

The 5711” sophomore buried a jumper
just inside the free-throw line with :31 left
in the game to give RPI a 74-73 victory in
the opening round of the Capital District
Tournament on Friday.

Union, an 82-76 winner of their
opening round game against Skidmore,
defeated RPI 80-66 in the championship
on Saturday. Host Albany walked over
Skidmore in the consolation game,

Following Foley’s basket, the Great
Danes had a chance to win the contest,
but senior Michael Shene was unable to
convert a 10-footer.

The 6'6” captain grabbed his own
rebound and put up an off-balance shot
that was also off the mark.

“On the first shot I just blew it,” Shene
said. “The second time, I thought time
was mining out, so I just threw it up. It
was a bad play on my part.”

These two teams are no strangers to
close games. In their last five meetings,
all of the games have been decided by
fewer than four points and three have
gone into overtime. Three of the five have
been won by RPI.

This time it was the second-half play of
Foley that killed the Danes. Foley, a
replacement for the injured Pat Doyle,
was seven for nine from the field for 14
points, including 10 after intermission.

“I wish (Doyle) had played,” said
Albany head coach Dick Sauers.

Trailing 40-37 at halftime, the Danes
scored the first six points off of the new
half, capped by a jumper just inside the
key by Alex McClearn with 18:11
remaining. The lead change was one of
23 for the game.

For McClearn, the starting power
forward, it was his only field goal of the
tournament. The 6’ 3” junior suffered an
ankle injury in the first half and did not
play the following night against
Skidmore.

Raquel Moller UPS

Albany's Mark Zuklie skies for the ball as RPI's Tom Ronan looks on,

Albany took a 73-70 lead when junior
Jeff Farnsworth connected from 15 feet
with 2:38 to play.

Two free throws by the Engineers’ Tom
Ronan with 2:14 to go pulled RPI to
within one, 73-72.

Ronan, a 6’ 4” forward, had 15 points
for RPI and a team-high ten rebounds.
Senior forward Aaron Bedard was RPI’s
top scorer with 16.

Freshman forward Bob Miller paced the
Danes with a sparkling opening night,
going nine for 16 from the floor, with 20
points. He also pulled down eight
rebounds,

“My nerves were running,” Miller said,
“put once I got on the floor I felt
comfortable.”

Miller is the nephew of Byron Mller,
who ranks eleventh on the Danes’ all-
time scoring list.

Although Albany outrebounded the
Engineers (41-31), the Danes had trouble
getting their inside scoring game
established.

“Their inside guys outplayed us,”
Sauers said. “We (also) had some trouble
with their press.”

RPI shot a scorching 55.1 percent from
the field, while the Danes finished at 48.5
percent.

“We're better outside than we were last
year,” said RPI head coach Mike Griffin.
“We certainly came through tonight.”

Following the loss, the Danes managed
to save face the next night in a 94-59
thrashing of Skidmore.

Albany. busted open the game in the
first half with a 17-1 spurt, ending at 3:58
on a Scott Altrui free throw for a 42-23
lead.

Skidmore could not recover.

“T thought this was going to be a close
game,” Sauers said. “I didn’t expect it to
be like this.”

The Thoroughbreds had all kinds of
problems with Albany’s offense, both on
the perimeter and inside.

The Danes outshot Skidmore from the
floor, 47.2 percent to 34.3 percent.

“Tt was a great game because everyone
contributed,” Shene said.

Six-foot five senior Mark Zuklie, who
started in place of McClearn, was both the
game’s high scorer and rebounder with 20
and 11, respectively.

After taking a year off to concentrate on
his studies, Zuklie showed no signs of
Tust,

“It’s a huge win,” Zuklie said. “We just
got the job done.”

Miller had another big performance,
going eight for ten from the floor, totaling
16.

Miller and Zuklie were named to the
All-Tournament team, along with
Skidmore’s Randy Thomas, and RPI’s
Aaron Bedard and Tom Ronan.

The Most Valuable Player of the the
tourney was Union’s Jerry Brescia, who
had 28 points in the championship against
RPI.

The Dutchmen’s 80-66 victory over
RPI gave them their first CD Tournament
championship in seven years and fourth
overall.

Union’s outside shooting was too much
for the Engineers as they shot 62 percent
from the floor. 2

The Great Danes will travel to SUNY
Binghamton on December 1 to take on the
Colonials in an 8:00 game.

Wrestling defeats Boston College, loses to Brown

By Andrew Schotz
SPORTS EDITOR

Coming off a dominating performance
in the Oneonta Tournament, Albany’s
wrestling team, in a tri-meet on Saturday,
defeated host Boston College 40-10, but
lost to Brown University 26-12.

The Great Danes victory over the
Division I Eagles was due to their
winning eight of the ten weight classes.
The results were as follows: 118 Ibs. - Bill
Alisago (Boston College) defeated Jason
Bross (Albany) 13-3; 126 lbs. - Rob
Appel (Alb.) def. John Helmbrecht (BC)
18-10; 134 Ibs. - Jeff LaMountain (Alb.)
pinned Bob Huggan (BC) after 1:40; 142
Ibs. - Van Fronhoffer (Alb.) pinned Joe
Fritz (BC) after 3:35; 150 Ibs. - Bill
Mallin (Alb.) def. Andy McCabe (BC)
after 5:00; 158 Ibs. - Ray Adams (Alb.)

def. Alan Flavin (BC) 9-7; 167 Ibs. - John
Pavlin (Alb.) def. Javier Divon (BC); 177
Ibs. - John Solomon (BC) pinned Max
Etienne (Alb.) after 2:47; 190 Ibs. - Chris
Roberts (Alb.) def. Ralph Fischer (BC)
17-4, and heavyweight - Al Gordon (Alb.)
won by forfeit.

Brown (also Division I), which
according to Albany coach Joe DeMeo,
fields a stronger team than Boston
College, proved to be a more formidable
opponent for the Danes.

Results from the match are: 118 Ibs. -
John Tocci (Brown) defeated Jason Bross
(Albany) 16-3; 126 Ibs. - Rob Appel
(Alb.) def. Tom McCarthy (Brown) 4-3;
134 Ibs. - Andy Foley (Brown) def. Jeff
LaMountain (Alb). 14-8; 142 Ibs. - Van
Fronhoffer (Alb.) def. Alan Rial (Brown);
150 Ibs. - Tom Thoma (Brown) def. Bill

Mallin (Alb.); 158 Ibs. - John Pavlin
(Alb.) def. John Aylward (Brown) by
disqualification; 167 Ibs. - Max Coulter
(Brown) def. Ray Adams (Alb.) 9-1; 177
Ibs. - Jim Bennett (Brown) def. Max
Etienne (Alb.) 9-6; 190 Ibs. - Joe Tokarsai
(Brown) def. Chris Roberts (Alb.) 11-5;
and heavyweight - Chris Casto def. Al
Gordon (Alb.) by technical fall after 2:00.

DeMeo was happy with the team’s win
over Boston College but overall had
mixed feelings about the tri-meet because
he felt that misfortune played a part in
Albany’s loss to Brown. All-American
Greg Jones sprained his knee Thursday
and DeMeo was forced to replace him in
the 167 Ib. class. Against Brown, Bill
Mallin was pressed into duty despite the
fact that he normally wrestles at 150 Ibs.
“Psychologically, I think that had an

effect,” DeMeo said. “If we had Jones, we
would have had a shot.”

Brown had won the Ivy League title as
recently as 1988.

Although Albany will be competing
against three other Division I schools
(Princeton, Kutztown, and Hofstra) in a
quad-meet Saturday at Princeton, DeMeo
chose to discuss the Danes’ first home
meet when discussing the team’s
upcoming schedule.

Tn this meet on November 28, Albany
will face wrestling power Boston
University. The Terriers are the defending
New England champions and, in DeMeo’s
words, “probably the most prestigious
team coming to campus in any sport.”
Albany has fared well against B.U.,
defeating them five of the last seven
years,
